I know some people (example: the boy) say they are too emo.

Some say too depressing.

Some say depressed.

Some say too monotonous.

Some say too melodramatic.

All I can say is – I love love love Snow Patrol.

Snow Patrol are a Northern Irish alternative rock band, with members from Northern Ireland and Scotland. Formed at the University of Dundee in 1994, the band is now based in Glasgow.

I ‘discovered’ them when darling Kylie played some songs from the album ‘Eyes Open’ to me for the first time and Shut Your Eyes became ‘our’ song…

Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
Somewhere cold and caked in snow
By the fire we break the quiet
Learn to wear each other well

And when the worrying starts to hurt
and the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
you can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will

Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair
And you’ll feel dizzy, light, and free
And falling gently on the cushion
You can come and sing to me

And when the worrying starts to hurt
and the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
you can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will

(Shut your eyes [x4])

Shut your eyes and sing to me (Shut your eyes and sing to me) [x4]

my saving grace…

I know it sounds cheesy and horrible, but right from the first time I heard this song, there is only one single person it makes me think of.

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they’re tumbling down
And they didn’t even put up a fight
They didn’t even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin’
It’s the risk that I’m takin’
I ain’t never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I want
Think I’m addicted to your light

I swore I’d never fall again
But this don’t even feel like falling
Gravity can’t forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin’
The risk that I’m takin’
I’m never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

So I got back from Munich on Sunday night – Wiesn Gaudi it was :)

The beloved glasses…

Where I keep my cash during Wiesn Dirndl times..nice and safe…

Two years on…and I still dominate!

Da King K in mah shades…

It was absolutely gorgeous weather and Lotta, Danny, Kirst, Jimmy, David, Kamber and Lissi were all Wiesn-ing with me and it was muchos muchos fun – think I’m still wrecked from it!

Also managed to see Mom Sisi, Christiana, Jonas and have Wasi redo my lovely tattoo – aint no one else but him inking me for life…

view from the new flat…

By popular demand here are some pics from the window of my new flat – just for Da King K:

Beware…in two weeks time, the Queen of fucking everything will be back in the original zone and taking over :D

Groom wear in Stokey…?!

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m not too sure I would consider a Motörhead t-shirt something staple for a groom’s outfit…

Grooms Wear on Stoke Newington High Street

…but then who knows what the Turkish community is Stoke Newington wear to their weddings…apparently Motörhead is a very acceptable can do? Whatever floats your boat my friend…I must say those uber stylish yellow trousers that are all bunchy around the crotch-area really do it for me though! not. over and out.

lovely saturday…

Woohoo, who says the summer is over?! Today has been absolutely gorgeous – have had windows and doors open and this flat is so perfect for that – looking out over the water and the sun shining in :)

Will be back in Munich for Wiesn in 2 weeks with my dear friend Lotta – Dirndl is ready and waiting thanks to the K and I really want to go visit Wasi as well but he’s totally booked out – fingers crossed!! Haven’t been back to Muc in 10 months – hadn’t realised how long its been!

how many…

how many people are we

how many faces

how many sleepless nights

how many moments of pain

how many flashes of light

how many kisses

how many people do we meet

how many do we forget

how many times

how many days

how many hot tears of salt

how many doors

how many doctors

how many nods

how many smiles

and how many frowns

how many words do we need to not speak

in how many languages

how many pages do we read

how many stay

how many go

how many places

come and pass

how many till I am finally home

how many am I?

Sooo, just in case you thought I had totally overlooked the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection due in stores the 14th of November – fear not, for I did comment on it (even if mainly only in the form of pictures I do not own the copyright to – *disclaimer over*), just not on here, but here on my not-personal but commercial blog FashioNoa – http://www.fashionoa.com/shoenoa-high-street/jimmy-choo-goes-hmwhat-do-we-think

so feel free to not read it :)

keyboards…

the good thing about having this new laptop with the English keyboard is that my brain doesn’t have to switch between two keyboards between work and home…

the bad thing is that a lot of symbols and letters I use frequently are just plain not there…

I love my new laptop. Its awesome. Its the nicest laptop I have ever seen on anyone and woohoo this time it is actually even my own, ha! there’s a first time to everything eh?

Uhm yes, right now I do somehow feel an urge to go on and on about this keyboard and this laptop. I am not drunk or hungover or high on anything. I just really need to say this.

I want to buy a little netbook though, the boy says its totally unecessary, but then that is what I am most gifted at – buying shit I definitely do NOT need in any possible way. But I need to save myself a few hundred £ in the next weeks for my final registration for uni in september, so no netbooks swinging my way anytime soon. God, I’m such a nerd, please save me. Over and Out.

blog stats…

The blog stats tool on the new version of WordPress totally sucks. It just doesn’t work. It doesn’t load. It dies. It plain sucks.

Ok. Rant over. Next post.
