AND THEN SHE'S BACK
...from rural Austriaaaaa! And I must say that thanks to these nifty upgrade coupons, I am slowly but surely beginning to acquire the taste for traveling in the 1. Class of the ÖBB Trains. I mean, the seats are marginally bigger and the REAL LEATHER OMG!! isn't actually the main points of awesome that one would expect, it is more the fact that THERE ARE SO LITTLE PEOPLE, it is fabulous. For I am one of these people, that when traveling alone, turn immediately and intensely paranoid and it is always a wringing with myself to actually leave my bags to go the bathroom and such (often unavoidable given the five odd hours I am on the trains). SO, the lack of the hordes of travelers in my partition was sweet sweet delight. Sadly my coupons aren't everlasting and I suppose I shall swing back to 2. Class when going back in march, unless I can overcome my inner miser and spring for the 15 euros more that the 1. Class entails... HMMM.
Now it's back to REEEL LAIF and srs uni business and hopefully not fucking up royally, as January is shaping up to be a hell of a month, deadline wise. But at least my fellow compatriots seem to all be languishing in a similar state of Not Productive, so I am at least in good company! Note to self: GET THE FUCKING STEP3 EXZERPT DONE BY SUNDAY YOU FUCKING IDIOT DDD: orzzzz not like I was swamped in Krimml but did I think of actually doing schoolwork? 'Wellll noo, let's turn on the TV again instead yayyyy' was my MO, oops.
Speaking of Krimml, yesterday Andi was awesome enough to take me skiing and ran me through the ropes again for nearly two hours. Damn, my knees hurt! And I can safely say that I am finally beginning to seeing the appeal/fun factor of skiing. My previous feelings on this based on last Decembers attempts could be safely summed up as 'AHHHHH SHIIIIT I AM SPEEDING TO MY DOOOM FUCKKK DDD:', and now I am down to just making vaguely unattractive 'HGURKKK AHH' sounds when I hit an icy or particularly steep patch of the slope. Also I might just be a contender for the title of World's Slowest Skiier, but I am totally down with this even if it means that if I were to ski just a tiiiny bit slower I'd be friggen skiing backwards in time. BUT STILL. +10 EXP GET!
We shall apparently either attempt a try on the big Sessellifte in March again OR do a beginners Snowboard course, though I must say that the idea of snow boarding freaks me out more than skiing. I want to have control over BOTH my legs okaaaaay D:

In more sad RL news that I had to read first from the good ol' Krone-- The King's sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana passed away from cancer at the age of 84 two days ago. The linked article has a really interesting read about her life story. RIP.
And whilst on the topic of Thailand, a resounding URRRGH from me about the current political fuckery re:elections going on again. Samak you are so fugly and suckkkk. Though his quote about the 'invisible dirty hand' that is fucking everything up!! has it's hilarious qualities. I mean, whaaaat. :|

Hehe, wohin fährt ihr denn? Und ich mein, vielleicht gehts dir eh besser! Ich hab halt diesen handicap, dass mir so sportarten die a)steile runterfahrten und b)hohe geschwindigkeiten(theoretisch) beinhalten GAR NED geheuer sind. Sogar beim Go-karten bin ich ne Niete weil ich so schiss hab in irgendwelche Leute/Sachen reinzufahren und von Fahrradfahren in der Stadt brauchma gar ned reden...
ICH BLEIB BEI KAMPFSPORTARTEN YES YES 8Db

you went skiing that's awesome!! HEY LET'S MEET UP IN CZECK SOME TIME! actually, skiing would freak me out more because you have to control two legs/two boards PLUS the sticks on the side.
but ok, it did take me 2 weeks and a lot of frustrated swiss snowboard teachers to finally get me to make curves instead of just going down the mountain on one side of the board. ah! i must not forget to post the pictures later at home.

Heh the things that I like about skiing freak you out and vice verse re: me and snowboards XDD(YOUR PICSSSSS I will comment tomorrow as I need to sleeeeeeeeeeep now soon) and ahaha instead of swiss teachers I had Andi going 'Du kannst schon schneller fahren! Mach schon!' and me going 'nooooooooooooooooooooooo *random five minute stop on the slope, head scratch* ooooooooo'
