Mood: creative | Listening to: "Book of Golden Stories", Runrig | Things I should be doing instead: oh... nothing. Off-time's the word, I think. Yay!

Well.

Time for some "disgustingly profound" thoughts, I'm 'fraid to say. Because... I've been thinking now for a while, mostly on the topic of "wanting more from life", and I ended up on some pretty disturbing lanes. Like "there has to be more to live than a German small town"-lane. Or "why do I have that damn urge to find myself in a borderline situation?"-lane.

Nooo, I absolutely don't have a death wish, okay? It's just... I have the feeling that I never really was challenged to do anything (you know, I really believe that the bigger the challenge, the stronger it makes you in the end). Up to now I somehow managed everything, and mostly not with profiency of skills but with pure luck. At least that's how I feel like.

I guess, I really want to be in a situation where I'm pushed to my limits - both physical and mentally. I want to see where those limits really are, and I want to be able to create or accomplish something outstanding. Something that people remember, even when I'm gone. Or well, maybe something... special... something... exclusive. I want to be a diplomat or a spy or... I don't know.

Or maybe this is all a big load off rubbish, and one of Louise May Alcott's quotes applies perfectly well to me: "She is too fond of books and it has turned her brain."

Either way, this just was something I needed to get off my chest.

Oh, I started another blog, this time in German (no, it's not the same I write here, it's mostly for the columns I write for a local political newspaper and my poor attempt at original fiction. But there are occassional rants and comments on everyday life as well). Have a look, if you like.
