Strickplan

Es ist ja weitestgehend bekannt, dass ich unheimlich viele Talente habe. Der Wahnsinn wie eine Person so begabt sein kann.
Na, wie dem auch sei, mich hat gerade die Lust gepackt, mir ein Ravenclaw-Winteroutfit zu stricken Da ich unter anderem eben auch begnadete Zeichnerin bin, habe ich euch das mal aufgemalt, zusammen mit noch zwei Mützen. Es wird kalt und jeder Mensch braucht mindestens 20 Mützen!
Seht es auch an! Die Details! Die Schattierungen! Die Akkuratesse!
Morgen geh ich los und kauf erstmal 20kg Wolle.

Random II

1. 24-Read-A-Thon
Nun, das war ja eher ein Flop. Ich hab extra früh angefangen und dann war das Buch totaler Mist, ich bin nicht voran gekommen und um 21:30 habe ich dreieinhalb Stunden mit Maike und Devour vertrödelt und danach wollte ich dann auch nicht mehr. (Sidenote: Devour war absolut scheiße, aber das ist ja das Kriterium für die Filme für unser wöchentliches Trashfilm-Skypedate.)


2. Besuch
Gestern hat mich Stüffs das allererste Mal besucht. Das war unser erstes Treffen nach über fünf Jahren Internetfreundschaft.
So schön und viel zu kurz.

3. Team Starkid
ICH BIN BESESSEN! Mal wieder. Derzeit besonders von Dylan und Dylans Stimme.
Meine Gefühle lassen sich am besten so beschreiben:

4. Haarfarbe & neue Oberteile
Photobucket 
Endlich, nach dem etwas fehlgelaufenen Versuch meine Haare grün zu kriegen letzte Woche (Merke: NIE WAS VERÄNDERN! IMMER BEIM ALTEN BLEIBEN! In diesem Fall nicht die Haarfarbenmarke wechseln...), habe ich es am Mittwoch dann doch hinbekommen. 
"Mehr drin für weniger Geld", haben sie gesagt. 
"Ist noch intensiver als Directions", haben sie gesagt. 
Scheiße was! Immer bei Directions bleiben, Headshot ist blöd! 
Ahja und dann habe ich mir diese drei Baseballoberteile bestellt. Ich mag die an Männern total gerne und sollte ich irgendwann mal nicht mehr Single sein, wird Herr Julia dann gezwungen nur noch die zu tragen! Notfalls dann auch meine, wenn er selbst keine hat, was aber nicht sein sollte. Jeder Mann sollte diese Art Oberteile haben, richtig, Flo?

Big Fat Read-A-Thon Post of the Year 2012

All right, let's do this.
Officially it isn't starting until 2 p.m.but I decided to start earlier since I already have trouble staying awake for more than 12 hours. So 30 hours are out of the question.
I'm going to update this post every few hours or everytime I feel like it.


2 a.m. - 8 hours to go

Book of the hour:

Percentage read/to go: 32%/56%
Cups of coffee: 4
Times visited Tumblr due to concentration difficulties: 17
Food of the hour: Chips again
Times I've complained about the book: 0
Times I've complained about being tired: 2

I don't think I can stay awake for much longer. So this is the end for me. Sad but true.


9 p.m. - BREAK
I have to watch Devour with a friend via Skype. PRIORITIES!

8 p.m. - 14 hours to go

Book of the hour:
Starting at 12%

Cups of coffee: 4
Times visited Tumblr due to concentration difficulties: 17
Food of the hour: Chips again
Times I've complained about the book: 0
Times I've complained about being tired: 2

There's a slight problem with the book. You see, when the main evil thingies, the Grievers, were described I did the dishes and wasn't listening properly. I just heard they're about the size of a cow and I heard something about spikes and insects and now they don't look that menacing in my head. I'm always very confused because the kids are really scared of them. Let me show you what I mean.
On the left is the picture of what they're supposed to look like and on the right is how the Grievers look in my head.
Yes, I know, I have some mad drawing skills like I told you in the Introductory Questionnaire earlier.

5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to? I started earlier to at least have a tiny chance to stay awake until the end.

Pre-Readathon-Post

Ich habe mich gerade spontan entschieden, mich doch bei Dewey's 24 h Readathon anzumelden. Das wäre dann mein fünfter oder sechster Readathon und ich habe noch nicht einmal durchgehalten. In Deutschland zu leben, ist von Nachteil, weil das hier von 14 Uhr bis 14 Uhr geht und das schaffe ich nie im Leben.
Ich fange morgen also früher an und gebe mein Bestes, um so lange wie möglich wach zu bleiben.
Bei meinem ersten Readathon war mein Ziel sieben Bücher zu schaffen, wurden aber nur vier und von Mal zu Mal wurden es weniger. Für morgen nehme ich mir also vor Casual Vacancy von JK Rowling, Maze Runner von James Dashner und Soul Thief von Jana Oliver zuende zu lesen.
Das werde ich ebenfalls nicht schaffen, denn Casual Vacancy ziiieht sich so.

Ich werde - wie sonst auch immer - einen Eintrag morgen schreiben und den dann alle paar Stunden updaten. Mag noch jemand mitmachen?
