Wo Sein Hintern Ist! (Poem in German)

I was booored, and once I am booored, I need to get ouuut of this staaate of miiind. So I wrote a poem. :)

Wo Sein Hintern Ist

Liebes Kind, dein Leben ist,

Was gut und schlecht und Beben ist.

Dieser Mann, ein Internist,

Sieht nicht mal, wo sein Hintern ist.

Und pupsen kann er auch ganz gut,

Und schnappt sich seinen Bauchtanzgurt,

Mit dem die Stärken lauter würden,

Doch sieht er nichts vor lauter Hürden,

Und schwebt hinfort, als er sich wundert,

Mit KMH der Marke Hundert!

Transl.

Where His Butt Is

Dear child, your life is

What is good and bad and earthquake.

This man, an internis,

Does not see where his butt is.

And he can also fart very well,

And grabs his belly dancing belt,

With whom the strenghts*d get louder,

 But he doesn*t see anything because of the hurdles,

And floats away once he is wondering,

With a speed of 100 KMH!

I know it is just the most beautiful piece of poetry I have ever written. Somehow I cannot stop grinning for this reason ... :P

That said, I also worked on some more music today, but I desperately need to record my vocals before putting these music masterpieces online :PP.

And soon I hope I will be able to watch the movie Snow Sharks, because I can. :PPP

Lame excuses? Thumbs up!!

Stupid Rina. Stupid, stupid ME. Yesterday, I cut myself accidentally with an axe. Don*t worry, my thumb is okay, but it is still hurting sometimes - when touching stuff -, and I don*t really have the will to draw anything right now. I am sorry.

I promise I will get back to doing something with this blog as soon as possible, especially since it means a lot to me, and I couldn*t get this out of my mind.

On the lighter side : On Friday, we found a great place to buy fabric at ... Not online, no. It is very close to where I live. Am looking forward to working with awesome fabric and presenting you the benefits of sewing ;)!!

Much love from me at this point!

Oh the dreaded pliers. :P

I am currently taking a break from the place I usually wriite at, thus trying to gather more time and ideas for projects I could talk about here :).

Since I*m currently taking part in a project for people who want to make greeting cards and such, I got to make greeting cards a lot recently, but I cannot show evidence since I didn*t take any pictures. It was really amazing, though; we worked with water colour crayons, i. e. crayons that you paint something with, and then you grab a paint brush (NOT too wide, though!), dip it into water, and brush over what you painted ... It will give a little water colour effect, and since I love water colour pictures, I want to try this at home. We also added smaller things to the cards.

Right now, the next step of the project is to make things for Crizzlemas (something that, once folded, looks like a tree or an angel or whatever), aaand we start making key chains ourselves next week. All this really IS inspiring me to make my own greeting cards and such. Working with the pliers (something that is necessary for making key chains) was a little hard, but I will get the hang of it after a few tries I guess :).

Then, I am planning on corresponding with other people more via actual letters, which is a good idea I think, since I haven*t written to people in such a long time. ^^

I also want to make a list of projects I really want to do, but then again, they are probably not always unlike the original ones. I want to try some things, though, like ...

* CRAFTING MORE.
* Making stuff off FIMO.
* Making jewellery myself.
* Working on the perfect paper (...) :D.
* Painting an actual picture with water colour crayons first and then making a water colour painting out of it.
* Making an actual art journal.
* Continuing to work on my RSLB.
* SEWING, knitting, etc.

I have found that, unlike what I believed when I was a child, I am not that bad at crafting. Back in my childhood, I thought I totally failed there, but I also guess I just didn*t have the right tools ... E. g. the glue I used always was very dry and didn*t stick. And I could barely use the scissors I had. It is getting better :).

Papercutting? Calligraphy? Art? Music? Ohhh, the love!! :)

Recently I went to the dentist with my mum*, so we sat in the waiting room and I looked around and found some papercuttings on the walls, and now that my curiosity was awakened, I really have been thinking about ways to make them myself. This didn*t really help me, so I went to Wikihow instead and found this tutorial ... I really found the idea of using papercuts in all variations great, but I won*t tell you too much about my plans.

What I will tell you, however, is that i am totally in "construction mode" right now, which is good :). I really want to do calligraphy now, for real. I once made something calligraphy-like for my granny* for Christmas, but then again, she couldn*t read it ... I felt rather sorry then for confusing her, but that*s not the subject right now.

Also, I am currently - along with "Lost Souls" (Poppy Z. Brite) and "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon #6" (Naoko Takeuchi) - reading a book by Barbara Sher, called What Do I Do When I Want To Do Everything?, and it is very good. I followed the advice so far and really found some projects I could work on, for example, in my own room :). For example, I want to draw notes (Yes, yes, sheet-music-like!) onto the walls in the rehearsal room, and I want to make some furniture, or better said build something else out of them (Apart from the desk which I will really make myself ... With help, though ;)!), and I want to make, not a triptychon, but "one" image made of five (!) single pictures. And I want to have a corner with photographs & postcards & collages.

I need aaart~!! Also I started working on a new song on Friday. :) I hope I will be able to record it well & also to upload it.

What have you been up to? I really want to make an art journal, too, thanks go to Gala Darling & the person whose "Radical Self-Love Bible" she shared in her blog recently :). I am amazed because of this, so thanks for the inspiration!!

Brave people*s lullaby?

Oh man, you may have thought I have left this place, never to return again. I haven*t. In fact, we have done a lot in this house, meaning PAINTING my rooms, for instance. I shall upload pictures as soon as I get around to taking them :P. One room is turquoise (the one with my bed), the other is orange (the one with the music instruments in it).

I got the idea for those colours because I like them (especially turquoise; it is my favourite colour!), but also because I read they are good feng-shui-wise. Now I don*t know much about feng shui; stating the opposite would be spreading a lie; BUT! I read that orange is good for creativity, and that turquoise and blueish colours in particular are good for bedrooms. That said, I want to try it out :). We mixed both colours ourselves, too. Turquoise contained two parts blue and one part green, mixed with a LOT of white (But not too much, since I didn*t want it to be that bright!), the orange was mixed with three parts orange and the rest of the white. It is not extremely bright either, yet the room looks bigger now. Same goes for the bedroom. Especially the turquoise turned out a little neon-like, which I definitely approve of! :)

Even though I did that, I didn*t do MUCH creative stuff lately. But on Monday, I bought myself oil pastels and two notebook-like things, and drew a friend of mine (Her name is Kei*). ^^ I already am planning on more "portraits", yet ... I need to learn to handle the oil pastels :D (It*s weird when not being used to using them).

I also FINALLY got around to adding some things to my wishlist, including a pack of 24 pieces of FIMO (in different colours), and also some fabric paints - both for light fabric, and for dark one. I *hope* that the dark one includes black t-shirts. The plan is now to buy some basic t-shirts & paint on them. Write on them. Draw on them. Whatever. I might even end up writing down musical notes for songs onto them if I don*t get anything else to use for this purpose.

As for the FIMO, I want to make some jewellery out of this. :) Mainly I am thinking of a pendant for a necklace; it should be inspired by somebody who I really, really, REALLY like a lot. Also, I want to start painting on flower cachepots! Since spring is approaching and such, haha.

So, after some winter sleep, I am finally getting back to normal!! And that*s it. The brave people*s lullaby. Sleep well, my dears~!

There is a place that only the night people know.

& Hello once again.

It is night time right now, hence the title. I am awake right now, too (Nooo, I guess you thought I*d be typing these entries while sleeping, eh? You were WRONG!).

The good thing about being awake at night time is that you have the most brilliant ideas (at least many people I know support these wise words ;D). However, I have been rather creative with ideas recently, too, no matter at what day time, and I want to share with you ...

... THE LIST. OF DOOM ... & PROJECT IDEAS!

My step sister*s pregnant right now, and I did promise a very close friend* of mine to make her one for each of her children, too : A quilt. I guess this is a project that demands some persistence, but still it is possible to do. I also recently saw some fabrics that were a-effing-mazing, and I really should do this!

Maybe I could make some (simple) music instruments. I actually used to have an instruction for this in a book :D. I also saw that some page (Thomann, I think) sells "Build your own electric guitar" kits, and this is a-effing-mazing, too, because I can ask my stepfather* to help me build it ... AND I can still work on the design/print myself and so on. I have never done this, though.

I want to craft some lanterns for Martin*s Day (because I love that day!). Also, kites are great, aren*t they? (Mhm!) I don*t mean those things you yourself hang in (even though that sounds exciting :D), but those things with some cord attached that you get to fly in the air then ... ^o^ Anyways, I want to make a kite myself. And a lantern!

Maybe some things I can wrap around books (like a wrapper). With related images to the single books ;).

I also want to maybe post some HTML (& maybe CCS) tutorials for web design.

Another idea is to make clothes for other people around me ... ^^ And I want to make a certain kind of belt for myself!! Won*t tell you the entire idea until it*s done, though. However, talking about this now, I also want to make clothes for myself :).

And besides that, I want to participate in the February Album Writing Month, because I miss composing & I really think it would be an awesome idea! And the National Novel Writing Month has to be successfully done, too. Maybe I will have the chance to go to a music festival next year, so I will need some things then, too.

I am also planning to write more songs, more poems, more stories (or any at all *hides*), and to draw and paint more/at all next year!! :) I hope you will like the results aswell.

Have a great time, until we meet again!!
