you have now gained + 1 year experience!

Twenty-two! I am inching closer and closer to what seems to be legit adulthood, though obviously there remains a long and winding road ahead of me and the fact that I in all seriousness have no real idea of what I will be doing beyond the following two weeks (besides apparently get a driver's license, come hell or high water. AAAUGH do not want). I would've thought that the idea of having time to chill, go to the gym and maybe brush up on my written Thai, my French or maybe learn Japanese/Mandarin would be the Best Thing Ever, but in actually I am wracked with occasional fits of anxiety about my future and not having anything fix in terms of internships or job prospects. Everyone I know keeps telling me to get the fuck over myself, and I am trying to do so. Today I thankfully had the healing power of TONY MOTHERFUCKING STARK and Iron Man 2, made even better then usual by being viewed in the SFX Cinema's cushy First Class seating (Ma doesn't care about the extra price because she can sleep more comfortably in these XD). They're giant reclining "velvet" La-Z-boys and you get a blanket and your popcorn + choice of drink brought to you by the staff. And when you have the apparent bladder of a pea (either the movie was hella long or I drank way too much today), the staff even run to hold the doors open for you when you try to subtly sneak back into the cinema ahh awkward. The movie itself was tremendously fun with oodles of little shout-outs and details (PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN IT COME SQUEE WITH ME IN THE COMMENTS), though woweee do enormous amounts of shit blow up in spectacular ways in this one. Also, I need to see it again for the sole reason so that I can find out what happened in the bits I missed on my bazillion toilet breaks lol.

SINGAPORE:
GENERALLY AWESOME, WITH SPRINKLES OF FUCK YEAH but also a dash of "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--" though that was mostly due to Mindshare leading me on, the fuckers. Moar on a post to come soon! OH AND hemlocke is a darling and "so cuuuuuuuuuuuuute~~" as Ma and our two neighbors kept informing me ♥

Thai politics:
Watching the local news and reading the newspapers keeps making me angrier and angrier. This has quickly left the realm of "protesting" and is flirting with domestic terrorism-- the reds are clearly starting to lose their collective shit and are acting even more erratic than usual. I mean, as if the home-made sharpened bamboo street barricades and unauthorized car and bag checks that they'd force on random people weren't enough (of course, people who said no were either beaten up or had their cars smashed or otherwise fucked up until they agreed), they have now twice barged into Chulalongkorn hospital and interrupted medical proceedings and obstructed ambulances carrying actual sick people because "the vehicles/the hospital could have been used to harbor soldiers" who would be readying themselves for a strike against the reds. Or the time they forced the BTS Skytrain into a standstill by throwing tires up the stations because the trains could also have been used to transport soldiers into town. Or one of my favorite bits of idiocy-- handing out multi-colored shirts for the reds to wear in Ratchaprasong intersection to "confuse" the soldiers if they were to come and make them disperse. HMMMM PEOPLE NOT WEARING RED WHO ARE SOMEONE STILL IN THE TOTAL AND UTTERLY RED ZONE THAT IS GUARDED AND CLOSED OFF? HMMM WHO COULD THESE PEOPLE BE HMMM :| AND OF COURSE, tonight's expanded news that some of them tried to lob RPGs at fucking WAT PHRA KAEW? Thank the higher powers the fuckers missed the temple itself, but this is just a further example of how low these people have sunk. You just plain don't pull shit like that, you don't. Ma and I met with some of her ex-colleges today and of course the topic veered to this, and it was very amusing and awesome to also hear the latest rumors about our fugitive criminal Squareface, who apparently has some really fucked up prostate cancer at the moment and might be dead or dying soon?? Cue fantastically frank comments like "I'll believe the fucker is dead when I see his body", "well given the number of people who must be cursing him daily, it couldn't have happened sooner" and "I saw this famous mystic say on TV that she had a vision of the gods of death coming for him!". Bwaaah! I just ~can't wait to see what happens next here ughhhh and of course our police men are hugely incompetent because the majority are "watermelons" themselves (green on the outside, RED on the inside). And we're flying back to Chiang Mai tomorrow which of course is another bastion of red (Squareface's hometown), ahhhhhh .___.;; /RANT

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

JUST SENT YOU A DM WITH MAH DEETS. Speaking of packages my boxes of stuff haven't arrived yet though the post.at website says that they're im Ausland already boo hiss there better not be some assholes delighting over my bitching shoes and otherwise nearly 30 kgs ++ of stuff lolol

I SHALL TRY lol I seem to have lots of help from Ma, who is like trawling job websites hardcore for me.

Since I am not in BKK atm, I can shake my head and bitterly laugh at how stupid and senseless this is, though I foresee a returning to shaking my head and seething in rage once I am back in BKK and all my plans to do stuff downtown get massively derailed lol. AND YES I SAW THAT! FUCK YEAH HAIFI ♥ ♥ The bushy eyebrows of wisdom and awesome hath succeeded over Kein Mut& Keine Werte Rosenkranz and crazy-ass christian dude (AS IT SHOULD BE, though one never knows with the crazy shit Austrian voters sometimes get up to). Are all the election posters gone yet? Heiligenstadt must seem so empty now XDD

OH AND BTW, I lost three hours to a sudden desire to search for new icons and stumbled across this post (http://community.livejournal.com/circa77/37948.html#cutid1), which I feel might be Relevant To Your Interests ;DD I personally dig the first one in the last row, ahh that hair!

[cheshire-tabby.livejournal.com]

GOT THEM! thank you very much and now I will go and hunt for awesome thing of awesomeness. and get you some awesome things from Birmingham/Köln/Berlin too. YEAH!
aaah, don't worry. my grandma sent stuff away via priority and it took them over a week. :/ boo boo boo!

AH I CAN ALREADY EE YOU SHINY FUTURE! while I will be rotting away in an office at the SVA, but that is just the phase I am in, since only - 8 weeks to finish my linguistics paper AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE PEOPLE WANT FOM ME! DDDDDD: I will fail he course and fail university and fail life and then die miserably. ;____;

aaah, the posters are still around, and they were getting more and more awesome. my favorite one will be HC Strache saying "Zeit für klare Worte Suppe" AAAH AWESOME!
and yeah, he did a huge party at the MQ and all the hipsters were there and shaking away their awesomeness. haach, that was so so so goooood.

haha, oh god thank you. but sadly I still can't get over the fact that he is dating/engaged to one of Katy Perry's background dancer chicks. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!~~~

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

BOOYAH~~ FUTURE MAIL FROM OLGA ♥ I AM ALREADY EXCITE TO THE MAX

Remember that I am sending you excellent linguistic brainwaves and will totally be willing to beta read the shit outta that paper :Db But I know the feeling lol when I think back to how short-notice I did just about all my Arbeiten and changed the focus of my BAKK1 and BAKK2 Arbeiten... ahhh XDD AND PISH POSH YOU WILL NOT FAIL BECAUSE YOU ARE A QUEEN AMONGST THE PÖBEL THAT ARE MOST OF YOUR MITSTUDENTEN (I still lol at "studying aboard", ngl!)

ZEIT FÜR SUPPE skjhdfjkashfjhafs ahahahaha nice. A HaiFi hipster MQ party? Omg that actually sounds super fantasticcccc. Hee and speaking of students and politics-- did that chick that gave you her email address when we went to meet 'n greet Fischer at the Studentenheim actually contact you?

SELECTIVE, SUPER SELECTIVE MEMORY IS YOUR FRIEND, MY FRIEND AND EVERYBODY'S FRIEND ♥ ;DD

[cheshire-tabby.livejournal.com]

YEAH! and I will see if I can dig up my Pollock Cardigan at one of the three AS stores, so you can have one too. PARTNER LOOK YEAH!

haha, yeah that's what I try to keep telling myself but WTFFFF Mark Johnson why do you make metaphors and cognitive models so haaaaard? I am thinking about changing my topics and simply write an essay about shakespeare's hamlet and the metaphors used but I am scared of failing that too. haha.

ZEIT FÜR KLARE SUPPE, eff yeah! sadly I wasn't there because I was sleeping, but booyah, I heard only the bestest things. mmmh. and they had expensive champaign and now all the HaiFi posters are plastered with a huge "DANKE!!!" and all. *____*
and no she didn't. luckily. I think she might have noticed me sending the "~don't you ever bother trying to get to me, BIATCH~" waves. hahahaha. her firt question "are you interested in feminist theories?" made me want to bite open her throat anyway, so nothing lost there. XD

HURR HURR OF COURSE. also, maybe one day he decides he wants a girlfriend he can also talk to. that will be my cue. XD

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

That would be SO FUCKING EPIC, I tell you :D And I will probably get excellent wear out of it, as all offices ever here seem to exist with the opinion that Klimaanlagen need to be at like 15 degrees 24-7.

WHATEVER YOU END UP DOING, I SUPPORT YOUUU. And speaking of Hamlet, did you see Kate Beaton's latest Hamlet ones? Her Macbeth ones were also pretty sweet, ahh she is so genius *_*

CHAMPAGNE CAVIAAAAAAAAAAR and the sweet sweet taste of victoryyy! Now that's what I'm talking about :Db I like imagining all of his election campaign helpers zipping round Wien in the wee hours of the night, slapping those DANKE stickers on the posters, hee!

NIIIICE. I remember how awkward and hilarious it was standing next to you two and ~observing XDD

WATCH AND WAIT FOR THE RIGHT CHANCE, LIKE A REGAL LIONESS IN THE PLAINS OF THE SERENGETI :3

[ninchu.livejournal.com]

A very happy birthday! =D

And wow, a first class seat in a ... cinema? WTF! I didn't even know such a thing existed. Thailand seems to be a very... special country. With amazing food!

I'm all for protesting in a civilised manner, but wtf Reds. They seem to be brainless paranoid iditots, really. Stopping ambulances and interrupting hospital proceedings just is sick and not acceptable. I'm not really in on the whole political situation, but I'll never welcome extremism.

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was pretty lowkey and I am retroactively embarrassed at how cranky/mopey I was for most of the day part of it, but I had fun in the end :D

It's not precisely the Filiale that we went to but it looks somewhat like this (http://www.sfcinemacity.com/index.php/th/cinema/location/SFW) ...SUPER COMFY FUN-TIMES, ngl :DD

THE FLASHING LIGHTS OF THE AMBULANCES MADE THEM NERVOUS/SUSPICIOUS, I shit you not! Clearly this is also a wonderful educational exhibit on what happens when large groups of people sit outside under the tropical sun for like 7 weeks. Their brains clearly start to fry :|

[ninchu.livejournal.com]

Wow this looks so nice x3

God, when I read this stuff, I want to slap someone with a broom stick. Very hard.

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

It IS super pimping, I try to save it for the movies I am looking forward the most to make it extra super special :DD

It's like, stupid things happen everywhere in the world-- but it is extra headdesk-inducing when it's actually in the country you live in. HACH.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

DARLING HAPPY DAY OF YOU! AGAIN! I really want to go to that cinema now, that sounds ~amazing. Also, sometimes you need to have a bit of a freak out, it's alright. 22 is not the age where you have to work out your entire life. 22 is a fine age to bounce about the world.

YOU ARE AMAZING AND WILL WORK IT OUT. And then one day I will be giving papers quotes about how even the famous and celebrated Kaz sometimes freaked out about her future. :D Think of the inspirational montage we can make!

Maaaaan, that is all really sucky, I can hardly believe some of the levels being sunk to. Wats? Hospitals? WTF. Also, "watermelons" is a genius term.

ILU!

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Thank you bb <333! Looking back I am vaguely ashamed of getting my flailing over LJ because I seem to have my head screwed on rightly again, but ahhh that is what online journaling is for, I guess ^^ It still feels weird to be 22 but I shall take it as carte blanche to call 15-18 year olds "kids" now, not that I let being 21 stop me before :D THE LITTLE PLEASURES IN LIFE.

AWWW YOU ARE THE ~WIND BENEATH MY WINGS BB and I will always love the idea of our respective biographical movies and such filled with epic montages and uplifting music (better start making that playlist now, lol)

HOSPITALS THAT ALSO HAVE THE RED CROSS ON THEIR GROUNDS ARE CLEARLY FAVORED HIDE-OUTS FOR SOLDIERS, DIDN'TCHA KNOW?? At least they seem to be slightly moving their barricades back, but the reds are still circling rock bottom in my opinion. And hee, isn't it? They are also "durian" soldiers, for they are green on the outside and yellow (yellow shirts and/or monarchists) on the inside. AHHH fruit metaphors... Ma was so confused about where the watermelon term came from though, iirc she thought it was a riff on their round helmets, hee :D

[quirkytaverna.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday! I freaking LOVED Iron Man 2, I saw it last night <3

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

TY TY!

TONY FUCKING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK ♥ Not only does he build things from scraps IN A CAVE, he invents entire new (SPOILER)!! This dude :DD

Also I can't stop thinking about the immense insurance costs the entire happenings in the movie must've cost Stark Industries XDD Tony's lab also remains the coolest fucking thing ever though, I want those nifty touch hologram thingies he has *grabby hands*

[laulan.livejournal.com]

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ YOU ARE AMAZEENG AND WILL SUCCEED IN LIFE. I know this because of my learnings which are GOOD AND TRUE and also because you are ridic smart, darling. <333 Hang in there~

God, those levels of political fuckery sound unprecedented and awful. :( *hugs you tight* Stay safe, and let's hope everyone realizes what fucking idiots they're being soon so no one gets hurt. :\ <3

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

WELL IF YOU SAY SO THEN IT MUST BE TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE ♥ ♥ ♥! There are some new vague glimmers of hope, and if everything else fails I have dumped my pride and am totally not above hitting up any contacts my parents might have (so far I know that I could technically intern as an office admin at an offshore oil company if I really have nothing? Which ain't bad, and at least it's not BP those assholes :<)

There are signs that the reds are slightly dialing back their recent outbursts of Bad Decisions (because well DUH massive public outrage occurred over the hospital thing-- 4000 patients had to be moved to different hospitals! They're back in operation now, but still.) but this just means that they are still crazy nuisances that are prone to be erratic and dangerous (especially since the communication between the red factions seems to be crap and getting worse)

[jaseroque.livejournal.com]

If it helps, when I finished university I also spent a bit of time freaaaking the hell out, until in panicked self-defense I wound up making all sorts of crazy complicated life plans to tide me over until something sensible hit me. That feeling of panic is verrry normal, if exceedingly unpleasant!

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Ahh, crazy complicated life plans sound about right! What did you come up with?

I do feel more settled about everything now though, I guess that I will just have to brace myself for periodic forays into "baaaaaaaaaaaaww"-territory and try not to sit in front of a keyboard when the mood strikes >_>;; I will probably look back and wish I did more with this spread of free time when I start working, so I better start using it better. Faito faito *inspirational music plays*!

[hemlocke.livejournal.com]

HOIIIIIII

Sorry I'm late in, felled by a cold, wtf. But, happy belated birthday!! I just watched Iron Man 2 yesterday myself - YAAAAAAAY.

And I totally need to print out your mother's comments, because you know, my own mother keeps telling me, so fierce, you look so fierce. SMILE MOAR.

EDIT: And of course, you totally need to come by Singapore more often, because you know, we need to hang out and stuff. Or I could come up to Thailand. Definitely cool with that idea too...

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Hope you're feeling a bit better from your cold, bb! Sickness seems to be moving around my flist and general people I know in RL *makes warding off germs sign*

WASN'T IT EPICCCC? I am all around happy just when I think about bits of the movie! AND LOL JOHN SLATTERY AS TONY STARK'S DAD WAS EPIC :Db Fuck yeah!

Lolol whaaat XDD Sometimes I wish I could look more srs biz and/or even fierce or angry more effectively. Tru fax, I've actually tried practicing in the mirror and even then I could take myself seriously >_>;; I GUESS THAT'S WHY I AM ALWAYS V. MELLOW? My face doesn't work in other ways lol

YESSS EITHER WAY. Something will happen! And it will be awesome regardless, uhuhuhuhu ♥
