ronja:
I must bring the film to be developed first before i can show off with my sexy plants. And the better ones are still on the roll in the camera. but if i have them, i will show you. and yes. hehe. i completed my task. *ponders for a new challenge* or will you set up a new one?
I went to Gymnasium, then I made an education, then I started studying.
What I think about the german education system. well. it has seen better times. They are trying to fix it, but for my opinion they fix it at the wrong places. there's much to discuss about it. but i think germany can learn a lot from other countries (especially scandinavian countries which seem to have a much better education system).

"so you got an Abitur in education, and then went on to study graphic design - is that it? just curious..."
yes. but before I started my studies, I made a 2yrs education as graphic design assistent.
"what do you like about Scandinavian education?"
i can't tell what exactly, as i never was in education there. but i have heard that schools work better. they have whole day schools (which are very rare here) and a better network of kindergarden, daycare and preschool. all the things before school starts are most important for the education. i also think it's a thing how money flows in education. which things are free and which things have to be paid. partly education really seems to become an elitism thing. which is so wrong. but well. as i am not really good at politics it's not my part to tell what's right and wrong. just some thoughts.

just wanted to let you know that i'm a comsumer of pharmaceuticals due to a chronic health condition (7 'scripsts in all). i've also seen plenty of conventional doctors. feel free to use me as an interview subject if you need one. 
starisea:
Awwwww . . . thanks. I had to quote as sometimes I actually feel like that Goddess.
In other news (and very deliquent responses) the book about the pirates sounds mighty interesting, especially since I have a love/fear relationship with children. It's definitely going on my "to be read" list.
I would love to trade you a doodle for a chair. (Big empahsis on doodle.) The chairs look like just the thing for wave watching on the Oregon coast.
I have often browsed Bukowski, but he seems to depress me mostly. Tell me what is it in his words that connects with you. And who are the faces in the photo? (I am a very curious girl this evening.
)
As always . . .

nor law, nor duty bade me fight.
nor public men, nor cheering crowd
a lonely impulse of delight
drove to this tumult in the clouds

why is it that when men play, they always play at killing eachother?

and you thought the 20th century was bloody

'sexuality - it's like a strange wild country that you claim by giving away ... and therefore never own '
I like that.
And thank you.
I like that.
And thank you.
ronja:
the mistress of spices. it's all about mystery and the power of spices. about fate, about love, about indian emigrants in amerika, about personality, about borders and rules and about breaking the rules. it's just wonderful and poetic. go and read it :-)
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love.
My country is Kiltartan's Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor.
No likely end could bring them loss,
or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight -

But 'bohemian shaggy' and pretty are not mutually exclusive. Shaggy, or shabby, are usually just part of the pose. It's the genuinely shabby that has disappeared from the public sphere.
trixel:
now that is a trip to look forward to. my sister and I have been talking about doing a roller coaster tour of north america, but I'm not sure we'll ever get our asses in gear and do it. I'm sure it would involve several months of cheap motels.

my mom's side of the family are all from cohoes, so i kind of picked up that strange tri-city accent. i also went to HVCC for two semesters.

You remain the most inscrutable man on the site, ya bastard.

tracing inscrutable Nature's algorithm map

Happy New Year!
trixel:
please don't let my lack of communication make you think I didn't enjoy all of your responses on my journal this year. Many of them came just when I needed them. So thank you very much.
happy new year, my friend.

I found some old photographs of a rafting trip down the Colorado River (it occurs to me that I should get my photography equipment back in order ......

You have all the best poetry, dude - that was great!
Reminds me a bit of the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy song 'I See a darkness'
My best unbeaten brother,
That is not all I see
Oh no, I see a darkness...
