Happy Halloween!

The ultimate Halloween movie!!

Recently re-visited based on Becky's facebook mentioning of it:
the movie that made me shit myself as a 7 year old watching it on Halloween night in the attic

CasualDay

Room To Grow.

Saturday, 30th of October was definitely a memorable day.

I travelled to Zurich and saw "Train" live at Kaufleuten - excellent show. Congrats to Maddie for being chosen ;) In tribute to a wonderful evening beginning at Zeughauskeller and ending in tears, one of my favorite Train songs.



Afterwards, Nordstern called: Mayhem, DatA, Boys Noize and other, casual namedroppings.
Can't complain - was a good night. Went home quite early, but I was happy.
Thanks to the boys for sharing a cab with me. Was better than having to go so alone.

Today is Halloween. But living in Switzerland, that mean's Jack-Shit. In memory of the Halloweens in the States, I have indulged in Reeces' Whipps <3

On that note, I can't wait to leave this place.
My mood isn't quite the grandest at the moment - tired of my surroundings...and possibly a little pessimitic.

Tomorrow November 1st 02:059am is my absolute deadline to send off my Stanford Early Decision application. Exciting stuff...but i'm already getting nostalgic.

I want out.

School-Oh-School...

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE? I WILL NOT CHANGE MY COGNITIVE THOUGHT PROCESS OR EXPAND AS A PERSON IN THE NEXT 7 MONTHS; I WILL JUST BE STRESSED OUT BY PETTY IB ASSIGNMENTS. THEREFORE, CAN I JUST GRADUATE NOW?

First Days

TODAY WAS EXCEPTIONALLY WEIRD, EVEN FOR MY STANDARDS...ILL KEEP THIS SHORT, SEEING AS MY LAST POST WAS A RANT ON BAD EXPERIENCES BUT ALSO BECAUSE TODAY WAS THE FIRST FULL PRACTISE THAT I LASTED THROUGH, SO UNDERSTANDABLY, IM EFFING EXHAUSTED. AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENTER KEY AND THE CAPS: MY APOLOGIES. BACK TO TODAY: FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. NOT THAT BAD; WENT BY FAST; HAD A FEW BUMPY HUMPS IN BETWEEN. THE FIRST I WANNA GET OFF MY CHEST: EVERYTHING IS FINALLY CLEARED UP WITH GEORGIA, WE LAID EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE AND WERE EQUALLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY HUMILIATED INTO ADMITTING OUR OWN LIES. FEELS GREAT TO HAVE US BACK AT WHERE WE WERE. THE SECOND: IM NOT SURE IF YOURE READING THIS, BUT WHAT HAPPENED AT LUNCH TODAY REALLY SADENNED ME BECAUSE I HATE WHEN I CANT BE THERE FOR OTHERS THE WAY THEYD LIKE, AND I HATE HURTING THEM. AND I REALIZE NOW AS I REALIZED EARLIER ON TODAY, THAT I DID HURT YOU, PROBABLY MORE THAN YOU LET ON. I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO CONTINUE ON AS THE CLOSE FRIENDS THAT WE ARE, AND AS I MENTIONED ON THE 23RD, I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL TO YOU. I HOPE THE TRUTH WAS MORE THE RIGHT CHOICE THAN PUSSYFOOTING AROUND WITH EMTOTIONS. THAT SAID HOWEVER, I DONT WANT ANYTHING TO BE WEIRD BETWEEN US OR ANYTHING TO CHANGE...BECAUSE WE WERE HAVING SUCH A BALL! THIRDLY, MY DAD JUST WENT APESHIT ON ME...IT MUST BE STRESS: HE HAS TO GO DO NOVARTIS'S DIRTY WORK FOR THE IN-LICENCING DEPARTMENT IN MANCHESTER, I DONT LIKE IT, BUT HE SEEMS QUITE KEEN ON TAKING ONE FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMPANY. NEVERTHELESS, HIS BEHAVIOR BEFORE WAS NOTHING SHORT OF CHILDLIKE AND PORTRAYS PERFECTLY THE STUBBORN MAN HE IS. GOODNIGHT AND GOOD LUCK ISB BASLERS, FOR TOMORROW IS DAY 2 OF HELL: "A" DAY. SLEEP WELL AND DREAM SWEET OF GRADUATION...ONLY 218 DAYS AWAY. XO

Life and Death on Thursday.

THIS POST WILL MAINLY BE A RECOLLECTION OF WHAT I REMEMBER OF THURSDAY NIGHT (THE SUITABLE PARTS) AND A TRIBUTE TO MY MARTYR AND SAVIOR, ONEAL HAAS. NOTE: IT IS ALSO WRITTEN IN CAPS BECAUSE I AM CURRENTLY ON MY WAY TO PONY'S AND I STILL DONT FULLY UNDERSTAND MY PHONE. ALSO I CANT WORK THE ENTER BUTTON SO ITS ALL GOING TO BE ONE BIG BLOB OF A PARAGRAPH. ALORS, IT STARTED OFF ALL DANDY AND SWEET AT GEORGIAS, WHERE I MOMENTARILY TURNED SOUR AND POSSIBLY JEOPARDIZED HER MOOD OF THE NIGHT AND OUR FRIENDSHIP - MY APOLOGY WILL BE COMING UP SHORTLY. I CONTINUED ON TO JOES "WOHN-GEMEINSCHAFT" - ALSO DANDY AND SWEET...UNTIL THE BOTTLE OF WINE WAS GIVEN TO IRENE. AND BY BOTTLE, I MEAN BOTTLE. IT WAS TOO MUCH, TOO FAST. MADE OUR WAY TO NORDI - YES THE WHOLE GROUP - ABSOLUTELY NOISILY RECKLESS AND ANARCHISTICLY (SWISS STANDARDS FOR A THURSDAY). GOT TO NORDI: BLUEBERRY NIGHTS FOLLOWED BY BARKEEPER+POTENTIAL SNOW, FENCES AND SLAP+TICKLE IN THE PARK, SAVING ME FROM POTENTIAL SNOW, BUT LEADING TO LOSS OF ALL MONEY, BATHROOM SESSION...FOLLOWING BY LOSS OF ALL THAT IS TRUE. HERES WHERE ONEAL COMES TO THE RESCUE: I HAD TO LEAVE. BAAADLY. SO HE PUTS YOURS TRULY INTO A MINI-CAB, WITH THE ACCOMPANIMENT OF HIS GLORIOUS SELF, MID-WAY TO HIS CASA, STOP THE CAB- BLEEEEUGHHHHHH ANDDDD CONTINUE. AT HIS HOUSE - FINALLY - AND BLEUUUUGHHH AGAIN IN THE DOORWAY OF THE BATHROOM. TOILET DIDNT MAKE IT. APOLOGIES TO ALL OF THE HAAS HOUSEHOLD. SLEEP FOR A LITTLE. RETURN TO NORDI TO HOP ILLEGALLY OVER FENCES ONCE MORE TO FIND THE MONEY - ONLY IN SWITZERLAND I SWEAR - FOUND IT. NOTICE TEARS AND BLOOD AND BRUISES FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE - BLOOD ON ONEALS PHONE AS WELL - MINE? - COULDNT SAY. RETURN HOME TO BED - ABSOLUTELY AND INDEFINITELY POISONED...WHICH JUST ENDED THIS MORNING - ALSO HAPPENED TO BE THE MORNING OF MY ACT AT THE BLACK FOREST ACADEMY, WHERE I LAUGHED BECAUSE THEY PRAYED BEFORE TAKING A TEST. ALL TOGETHER. FORGIVE ME, JESUS. I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW, SO IM GOING TO THE MOVIES. TO SPEND TIME WITH MY PONY, BUT ALSO TO CELEBRATE NOT HAVING AAAANY MORE UNI-ENTRANCE EXAMS TO WRITE. WHOOPIE! UNTIL NEXT TIME, READERS OF THE INTERNET. XO STAY HEALTHY..ITS GONNA BE A LONG WINTER.

Nord*Night

So last night I attended Tetris4 in none other but Norsternchen, and was entirely bombarded by good people (maybe a little too much by some) and excellent music. We danced danced danced, had a few encounters in the bathroom with a drugged-up-hipster and saw my long lost friend Luka! Speaking of long lost friends, i saw a large number of them...maybe i should attend uni-parties more often?
Bottom line, my outlook on Nordstern's being was raised again to where it should be. I realized that if something shitty happens in a place, that place should be irrelevant to the equation. Unfortunately though, I had to practice before I preached for this particular aspect of nightlife before i understood what the hell i understand now.
Cryptonites enabled me to have one of those nights that words can't explain...and therefore, Nordsternchen is restored in all its crooked glory.
Anyways, it was fun while it lasted, but my head is about to explode, and Milan snores pretty loud. Thank god for the ability to pass out in bed and not have to deal with it, huh?
I look (very much so) forward to seeing Pony tonight; i hope we can arrange something appropriate, because TOMORROW, i'm off to Geneva to finalize my applications! Exciting stuff, this university business...but that's a completely different topic.

A couple raw eggs, tomato juice and some vegetables later,
I bid thee farewell oh cyber-time-wasters and enjoy your weekend!
