Dani's Journal

Wow, haven't updated in ages it seems... :-( Mainly because I don't have much to say (nothing new there *lol*), but also because this time of year is always quite busy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A big thanks to spirited_lizard! I received your card today. :-) It's really cute plus I love the mini!advent calendar. <3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm gonna spend New Year's this year with my friend in Berlin again! *squee* It didn't happen last year (sadly), so I'm very happy about it. \o/ I'll be away from 27 Dec until 3 Jan. :-) My aunt + uncle are taking me along to Berlin in their car as they are going to see a musical there, and then I'll get home by train next year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lots of new stuff was being had in the last couple of weeks. :D


I'm lovin' Professor Layton (the series is actually one of my favourite for NDS!) and Mario Kart 7 (had never played a game of the series before. So. much. FUN!!! :D)! <3 Haven't had a go at Kingdom Hearts: Recoded and the Runaway game yet though...


Love him. And finally found this DVD for a good bargain price. :-)


<3<3<3

And some presents I got for St. Nicholas' Day:


Yay!!! :D


Reindeer "Jingle" <3


chocolate! *yummy*

Also got 3 dishcloths and a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream <3.
So all in all a pretty good haul for the occasion. ;-) We usually only give each other a trifle...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In TV news: I'm finally all caught up with Primeval. \o/ About bloody time too I'd say. *lol* Also watched the Warehouse 13 Christmas Special yesterday (which was good!), so I'm all up-to-date with that that too, as well as with The Big Bang Theory and Community. I'm afraid I'm way behind with everything else though... O_O *ahem*
Next goal is to catch up with Doctor Who series 6 before the Christmas Special. :D I've got 7 episodes left and 11 days, so it should be doable. *g* ;-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And last but not least: This is the last call to everyone who still wants a Christmas card from me. If you let me have your address until tomorrow afternoon at the latest you'll still get a card from me. :-) Then everything will be send off! ;-)

Weird weather today. One minute the sun is out and the next minute the sky's all grey or it's even raining... Definitely no real summer. :-(

I was in the city centre today to get some things. In one shop I stumbled upon this bed-linen set and as it was the only/last one of the kind I just had to buy it. So cute! <3


Also, this little fella was in the post on Friday. ♥

So Kiel Week (Kieler Woche) officially started today.
Here's what I hate about Kiel Week:
1) Traffic. It doesn't actually annoy me that much that there is probably more traffic than usual, but that I can't drive the ways I want, especially in the evenings. Well, I guess technically I could... ;-) But it's a lot more tedious and slow, so I rather drive a slightly longer way to avoid the crowded area.
2) Crowds. Yep, there are always far too many people in the city for my liking. Sorry. :p I like to walk quite fast when going from A to B and this just isn't possible anymore at the moment...
3) The weather. *lol* Ok, I realise that it isn't actually really Kiel Week's fault... But can it really be just coincidence that it always rains most of the time during Kiel Week?? :p

What I really like about Kiel Week though is that there are lots of concerts for free. :-) Ok, I'm mostly only interested in 1 or 2 of them each year, but it's the thought that counts. :D *gg*
Please keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't rain Wednesday evening, because MerQury will be back then! \o/

I just couldn't resist after all and bought two more Blue Nose Friends yesterday. *whistles innocently*


Patch and Dilly

They were the last 2 for the reduced price in the shop. Too bad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Watched Simon Amstell's stand-up program "Do Nothing" on DVD yesterday. It was really good! :D Although a bit short maybe (60 mins.). ;-) And there was just so much I had heard on Grandma's House before... *lol*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OMG, it's that time of the semester again... There will be tests at school from Monday on for 2 weeks! O_O Nooooooo! *panics* The only upside is that afterwards we will have holidays until 14 August... I don't have any plans for them though, basically because I have NO BLOODY MONEY! *headdesk* :-((
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm doing a Snack Exchange with fantasy_bubbles, btw. So cool! :D I started buying the sweets today and it's just so much fun to choose them. I might get carried away with it a bit... *lol*
I will post a picture of what I sent her after she receives the package, because I don't want her to see beforehand. ;-)

Wanted to make this post on Monday but somehow couldn't be bothered... *shrugs*


- First of all, thanks again to fantasy_bubbles for the custom userhead!! It's lovely. :D I hope you're having a fabulous time on the Philippines, sweetie! <3<3

- A Happy Birthday to utopian_sky!!! *hugs* All the best for you, hun. I hope you have a great day. :-)

- On Monday the weather was quite nice, so it was a good excuse to take a little walk and try out my new camera. :D Here, have some snow pics (what else is there to see at the moment, right? *lol*).
( The whiteness... )

- Also finally could go to the post office on Monday and collect the Christmas parcel from my friend. \o/
( more pressies )

- I redeemed my Amazon gift certificate for the Doctor Who calendar, which came today. \o/

It has some very nice pics. I especially like the one of my birthday month with the Doctor and the Weeping Angels. <3

- OMG, only 2 more days now until new Primeval!!! \o/ Soooo excited!! :D Hope it's going to be good.
