I'm alive

I just read all of my former blog posts and felt the need to at least mention that I'm still around because the last one was pretty fucking depressing.

I've been thinking about writing once in a while but somehow, out of laziness, never did. One time the feeling was especially strong was a little over a year ago after I had just come out of a relationship (or affair?) of only a month. I never really loved her and we weren't that compatible but she sure was pretty cool. She did sing and play guitar in a punk band.

And recently I've wanted to write again, too, but I really don't know why. I guess because a lot has changed. But a lot has also stayed the same. It might be because I'm no longer really active on twitter and sometimes I'd just like to share. I'm not sure why I don't post there anymore. I just lost interest.

What's the same:
I still drink way too much. I don't get completely wasted on weekends anymore but the three liters of beer a night still fits.
I'm still at my old job and I still don't like it any better.
I still spend most of my free time on the computer.
I still need background noise like tv series or audio books. I don't listen to music that much anymore.
My cats are still the best creatures in the world.

What's changed:
I have had a girlfriend for 9.5 months now. I love her to pieces but we often fight, mostly because she spends a lot of time with her friends and I get jealous. The borderline symptoms are definitely back.
I have something similar to a social life. For about a year I've been going to a Stammtisch every other week and I've met some great people there. Some of them have become something similar to real friends. One of them is my girlfriend.
I got a new iPhone. Which is great but because of that I also haven't read a book in almost a year.

I really hope I can really start blogging again. I did used to love it and it would be a good way to share.


I love you, readers.
Lisbeth.

Day 14 - A picture of your favorite teacher(s)

I'm sorry, I couldn't find a bigger picture. This is Frau Tenten, my grade school teacher (1990-1994). She was a wonderful very gentle teacher who was (almost) always nice to everyone. Which was just what an extremely shy, socially inept Lisbeth needed.
When I was in her class she had dark hair but I haven't seen her for 18 years. In this picture she looks very much like her mother who ran a tiny little childrens' book store.

Day 07 - A picture that makes you cry

This picture doesn't make me cry per se but it makes me extremely sad.
It's my ex and I when we were still very happy.
