Friends cut

2009-06-11T13:06:38Z

So I removed all the friends, who didn't update for years (so they updated less than me ;P) and all the dead journals.. And some I had lost contact totally. I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind.

For the last 16 people (I removed 14 names! o.O) on my friends list I'm still unsure, if you all want to stay on my list...
I'll keep you now and we will see how it works.

National Pillow Fighting Day

2009-06-09T18:16:10Z

Just wanted to show you, cause it was an awesome day:

That's me in the rain of feathers, behind me Cologne's Cathedral.

Portfolio update :)

2007-03-19T12:48:55Z

Oh, I'm so bored right now.. erm, yes, I could learn, read a book (reading Hector und die Geheimnisse der Liebe by Francois Lelord at the moment), watch all the VM episodes I haven't watched so far or even Grey's Anatomy (I bought myself the first season :D) or paint, draw, photomanipulate...

Anyway, what I can't do anymore, is working on my portfolio, because it's finally finished somehow (well two categories aren't online yet, but I don't want them to be up now).
So, everyone go and visit http://www.soulbehindtheface.net/ke
:D

Oh, and I updated flickr, I think I'm going to upload more photos there, because of the pastrie you have to pay for at dA and get free on flickr ;)

So, bye bye :D

Hi ya!
I decided to be active, instead of giving up my site(it was pretty quiet there the last months..) So go and enter my challenges.

Adam Brody - regular
LoVe - icon
fave "dead" tv-show - desktop calendar

I know you want to enter ^^ ;P

Size Matters Blend Challenge

My first LoVe Blend lol

2005-08-28T21:01:53Z

Here it is ;)

Hope, you like it :)

Veronica Mars

2005-08-27T22:16:56Z

I never wrote an entry about a tv-series. But OMG, this is so great ;)
Too many of you convinced me to watch it and so I downloaded the first episode. And the next and the next...
Tonight I did my own VM night with the last 4 episodes.

LoVe is an awesome ship, they are so cute(I love Logan *hehe* Jason Dohring, both ;))! I had so many ship moments in about the last 6 episodes :D
And when it came out that there was a camera filming the bed in his house, I knew, it was not Logan ;) But I could not believe, who the murderer is. Wow, the most evil guy in the whole series, but I never suspected him..
And Keith and Alicia are so cute, as well :) I'm glad her mum is leaving at the end. Though with the check, what is totally unfair.. But I guess, now the Kanes will be nicer to Veronica :)
And the last moment of the episode. Is it Logan on the door? I really hope so! But Duncan and Veronica had their moment after discovering the murderer, as well, so hopefully it's not him, knowing now, that they are not brother and sister ^^
Will there be another season in September? I really hope so, because A) there must be a new season and B) September starts in a few days and I can't wait any longer ;)

It was awesome to watch a tv-series without knowing anything except the "tiny" thing with Logan and Veronica. It's just more exciting without any spoilers.. I think that's the advantage of living in the US or being able to watch the episodes on the first airing date...

Do you know any good sites where I can get photos to make icons and fanarts? VM got me into this kind of fan-mood right now *hehe*

Anyway, just a random entry about my new love for a great new tv series..
Good night everyone!

some art and blends

2005-02-11T16:58:41Z

Hi!
Well, long time ago, I used to post blends ;) and art.
So back to the roots.

This is for school, it's a collage in the style of the synthetic cubism.

This is a picture for a poem of the expressionism. The poem is by Georg Heym.

Express yourself was the challenge. I love those lyrics by M62.

Inspired - 2 fandoms Billeh and WWS and some textures I used are from Hybrid Genesis and other sites. First I liked it, now it#s just boring, because everyone uses this texture *yawwwwn*

I'm now a Lost Fan. So this is for Inspired. A postcard from Walt.

This was pretty fun to make. Because it first looked totally different than now. And I changed sooo much to get this. I like it, though it's simple.

That's an add effect. Scavy Challs of Odd(ish) <3. I ADORE this chall.

Simple but it features my all time favourite line from Buffy. I miss the serie so much...

And a wallpaper for OC. This tv series is just awesome! I love it, especially Seth/Adam Brody <3

Bye!

Hey, this is my new layout!

2005-02-11T11:53:34Z

I have problems with it, but I like it more than my old one.
Yepp no Billeh anymore.
Who needs Billeh? *lol*
Me, but not on my layout *muwahaa*
Bye!

down the rabbit hole day

2005-01-27T21:06:07Z

down the rabbit hole day
Today was such a normal day, you can't belive it!
When I jumped out of the bed and stretched my four arms, I thought of my dream where I went to school. WTF?!!
That was a strange dream.

After I ate my spiders for breakfast I went down the bubbles and visited Hanni&Nanni in the trees. We talked about the holidays next time in the rain forrest. But I think it's so boring! Why do they want to visit this pink country?!!
I wanna go to Everland and eat flowers there. That would be much more fun.

Anyway after those hours with H'n'N I bounced to Tigger and we bounced around the town like we do every night.

But hey, I have to stretch the room now!
Bye!

18. Which kind of shape would your boggart turn?
I don't know! I really don't know what I'm afraid of (well staying alone for the whole life, but that's not a boggart, is it?).

Hello!

Only few words.
World Without Sundays
http://www.worldwithoutsundays.com

Check it out and listen to their album. The whole thing is there to listen to.
It's on my rank 1 :)
They are better than Muse and better than Maroon 5, I think.
I love every single song.

Other few words.
Size Matters.
http://www.soulbehindtheface.net/sm

Yay, I couldn't resist. A blend challenge about men (no, the title is not about that!) and about blend sizes, so special rules.
And I need entries, so submit your blends ;)
Johnny Depp
Karl Urban
Guy Pearce

A few new blends. (I made more than 10, but I choose my faves)

Bye!

Merry Christmas!

Hello!!!
Finally, at 12 o'clock in the night, I wrote the last words of my novel!
So I am a winner at nanowrimo.org!! YAY
*bounce bounce bounce*

Congrats to all the other winners :)
And don't worry if you couldn't finish. Next year we can do it again!

Well, do you know, that only my online friends know from my novel? That's really amusing, when I'm in a totally happy mood and nobody knows why.

Today I'm going to buy myself a present *lol* Evanescence, the live album.

*bounce*
Bye!

YAYYYYY nano report

2004-11-17T21:43:49Z

I'm very happy now.

And I want to recommend very nice albums, which helped me to reach the half of my goal :)

Muse- Absolution WoW, it's one of my new faves. Just great.
Starsailor - Silence is Easy Great, really great.
White Stripes - Elephant Expected something different. But this is better.
Jet - Get Born Really nice, I finally found a song, which I looked for a long time (Are you gonna be my girl)
