Ninjas STILL can't catch you if you're on fire

Woo for Now-President Obama! Spent Tuesday squeeing a bit on rahmbamarama and watching the Inauguration proceedings via CNN's online live feed that just managed to finally work in time for me to actually watch Obama get sworn in. Talk about lucky timing! What is there to be said really, besides the obvious fact that it was lovely to watch, and Obama's speech was making beautiful, beautiful love to the English language at times ♥

Which made it even more depressing, in a way, to come from that general feeling of all-round happiness to our PR-AT, where our obviously enthusiastic teacher (who even had a little Obama logo pin on her coat! O Hanni ILU even more now) wanted to get this discussion started and asked about our thoughts on the Inauguration/the new American politics and was then met with this resounding wall of indifference. And a strong hint of 'people who are psyched about this are somehow abnormal/lame/mindless US pawns'. There was this whole 'well the world shouldn't revolve around the damn amis and we should do well not to fawn over them too much' rhetoric that even Clemens was spouting, and I just started irrationally feeling really bad about being so excited. WHY YOU GOTTA BE SUCH DICKS, MY PR-AT PEOPLE DD:?? I mean, we moved on to the actual class lecture pretty quickly and it would've been a losing battle to really continue trying to defend my point, but it rankles nonetheless :///

I am also nearing a state of ~CALM PANIC~ for the Bildungspsychologie II exam this friday. I just need to pass this one elective! But it is a heckuva lot of stuff to study, and I doubt I would even crack the 4er mark if I do end up passing. GOODBYE BARELY ADEQUATE ELECTIVES GPA DD: The spectres of HIST-ARBEIT and BAKK1-ARBEIT und REFERAT are also looming menacingly over me, which is why I bought Häagen-Dasz Macademia Nut Brittle ice cream the other day! I needed it to uh, celebrate my continuous existence, oh yes ♥. IT'S ALL GONE NOW THO BOO ICE CREAM YOU NEED TO LAST LONGER.

And in loltastic dude news, I think I forgot to mention that sometime early last week St. Pölten dude drunk-smsed me at 2AM, and after some back and forth in a very illegible manner also confessed to me that: 'I think of yu[sic] every day, damn'. The 'damn' after the comma is such a lovely touch, lolol. And now he has even written me an email apologizing if he kind of made me feel awkward or anything-- I bet he just checked his outbox a few days ago and discovered what he actually sent off, ahhh. I mean, I was amused then and I am still amused, though maybe wincing at bit at the state of his English. Even sober it is a bit iffy, at least from what I've seen in written form so far. I should know better and actually try to just stick with German, but damn if I don't automatically default to English as my language of comfort and choice. CLEARLY I NEED TO DATE SOME AMERICAN/BRIT/AUSSIE/KIWI INSTEAD, WHERE ARE YOU FUCKS HIDING IN VIENNA D:

● TODAY'S GOAL: BRING BACK LIBRARY BOOKS PART ONE, pay off that 8€ library debt, ahh. AND THEN GO BUY MORE FOOD. AND JUICE. JUST PUT ON SOME REAL PANTS AND LEAVE YOUR DORM ROOM ALREADY SHARON.

● Our HIST-AT group is slowly spiraling into bitchery and chaos! The guys are at turns lethargic and pissy and thus not contributing, AT ALL. Miriam is then (legitimately) annoyed and pissed too, which means she takes it out on me because I am the only one who replies to all our discussion emails. And this also makes me angry, because WHAT THE EFF DID I DO TO YOU, HUH? Should probably give the guys a call and a kick in the ass and see how we can get this party started again, argh.

● Scruffy St. Pölten comic dude from the train actually smsed me about meeting up this Sunday!!! For 'comics, coffee and some other nice things'. Lollll, this'll be interesting~ Though we should probably agree on where to meet first, heh.

● MONDAY'S EPISODE OF GG. Chuck Bass has the best drugged!out face ever (he looks so... dead??) and you really can see that Blair is about to snap soon in THREE..., TWO...

● THIS FUCKING SPN VID IS SO AWESOME THOUGH. PEOPLE, WATCH AND WEEP FROM THE HILARITY. That damn song is such an earworm, gaaaah!

● I have been also trying to rip the Anderpuppy clip from Youtube via Vixy.net, but everytime I try it the sound does not come with! ARGH WHYYYYY D: Anyone have it already downloaded and is willing to spread the love??

THINGS I SHOULD BE DOING NOW:
__taking a shower and getting ready to leave for lecture
__maybe folding some laundry
__maaaaaybe doing the dishes
__maaaaaaaaaaybe starting some uni work
__imprägniering my new boots
__thinking of gift ideas for a friend's impending B'day bash
__TAKING A SHOWER AND GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR LECTURE

THINGS I SHOULDN'T BE DOING:
__making random phonecalls to people
__bothering Carmen on the dormphones to the point of actual irritability because she is swamped with work and Michi is also bothering her
__typing this entry up and wasting time on the internets
__obsessively refreshing Facebook and waiting/hoping for people to do interesting things

__feeling guilty and uncomfortable that Philipp has sent me another sms about meeting this weekend and I am totally gonna ignore that or either cancel and goddddddddd why doesn't he get the message that I am not actually interested without me actually having to say anything :/// Do not want to have to talk to him againnnn (and I still miss my bracelet bawww)

UGH and I was in such a good mood yesterday, too.

So uh contrary to my expectations, Philipp called and ~*DATE CONFIRMED*~, I guess! Tomorrow evening, 9.30PM at the Donau club, which as far as I can remember was this really dark trippy club that played electro and had really drugged-out people dancing spastically lolol okay, it WAS 3.30AM when we were there last time, but yeah... We shall see what happens! I am already quite nervous ajhjskf what to doooo and this time I will be without the safety of mah wingwoman Carmen too, ach! Should I look up make-out tips on the internet now or what--

Even though my general reason for agreeing to the date is more due to the sheer novelty of actually getting asked out by a guy who is not a)creepily old, b)creepy or c)a gigantic creepazoid Asian fetishist, I must say that looks-wise, the dude is quite cute. Kind of a scruffy, hippy vibe (a vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft/comparative Lit sciences student) with longish blond hair and some beard scruff, but he has pretty blue-green eyes behind the glasses, so. He also gains points for being quite adorable on the phone though-- 'asking his friends for tips on where to go', and the whole "(weird joke) ...and that was a lame joke to end this conversation, ahhh so you know what you are getting yourself into tomorrow night!". I admit, I am vaguely charmed already. If only he were taller (either a wee bit taller than I am or around my height, I can't remember), ahhh must remember to wear ballet flats tomorrow.

SO LET'S SEE HOW FAST I CAN SCREW THIS UP BY ACTING INTENSELY AWKWARD IN THE FACE OF POTENTIAL PHYSICAL CONTACT TO HIDE OR EVEN ACCENTUATE MY UTTER LACK OF EXPERIENCE, YEAHHHHHH.
