I have hair envy. My hair is flat. As flat is it gets. No curls. Only I think three at the hairline, which only annoy me whenever I try to make more out of my hair once every century. But besides they just lie there. So, yes I want to have curls, natural curls, because I'm a lazy bastard. So, yeah I would like to have curls, but I don't want to do anything for it. I want to walk around feel through my curly curls that will swing on my head like little ballerinas dancing. Most of the time I see someone with curls I wonder how it feel to have them on my head, naturally of course. Curling them on my own takes just too long, because they will only stay curly when done with compeletly wet hair that then most dry off completely.
Altough, to be fair to myself, honest might be the better word here, I'm not really that lazy when it comes to my hair. Some might say I'm obsessed. I wash it every second day and then I wash it two times in a row. Why? Because I first wash out the dirt, then I want the whole good stuff to be able to its magic. I'm not sure if it does, meaning I never conducted a study upon it, but I think it helps the hair to stay cleaner for a longer period and shinier and softer. After my washing I wrap it in to a towel for a bit and then let it airdry. No rubbing, not blow drying, maybe gentle removal of the most water with the towel on my hair. I don't brush it until its cdry and I often use some spray conditioner. I never wash my hair with conditioner, it just softens the hair and then it gets greasy much quicker.
Every now and then I frantically search my hair for splitted ends and then cut them out. And every few months a hairdresser gets to cut of some amount.
Whenever I have the feeling my hair could look greasy I get obsessed about it and ask everbody around if that's the case or wear something to hide it. Once I was that unhappy about it that I didn't stop nagging until my friends told me wash my hair at her place and I did. At a party in a very small flat. No, I'm not that difficult most of the time.
So, yeah, all in all I might be a bit envious, or a bit more than a bit, of curly hair, but in end the right description for my hair relationship might be compulsary behaviour.

Runter vom GEHweg!
Meine lieben Radfahrer, Ich gebe es zu. Ich bin neidisch. Während ich zwanzig Minuten brauche, seid ihr in zehn Minuten da. Ich muss mehr Zeit einplanen für Strecken, die ihr unbeschwert in wenigen Minuten hinter euch bringt. Ich bin ja selbst Schuld. Seit langem will ich mein mintgrünes Rad von meinen Eltern hierherbringen, aber ich schaffe es einfach nicht.
Gelegentlich empfinde aber auch ich etwas tiefgehenderes als Neid. Ein naggender Schmerz, der mich nicht loslässt und böse Ideen provoziert. Dann möchte ich euch, meine lieben Radfahrer, auf die Straße stoßen oder gegen eine Hauswand schubsen. Das ist nicht nett, ich weiß. Ich sollte mich wohl erklären.
Heute Morgen musste ich mal relativ früh los. Es hat über Nacht viel geschneit. Ich konnte die Strecke zu Fuß zurücklegen. Matschiger Schnee ist eigentlich schon so schon Strafe genug, wenn die Schuhe undicht sind, aber wenn ich dann auch noch von wildgewordenen Menschen auf zweirädrigen Vehikeln hinterrücks von dem einzig freigeräumten Streifen in den nächsten Schnee abdrängt werde, ohne dass der Fahrer des Geräts sich irgendeiner Schuld bewusst ist, dann kommen schon mal fiese Gedanken in meinen Kopf.
Ich weiß, ich weiß, der Radweg war nicht richtig geräumt und daher musstet ihr ja zwangsläufig auf den Gehweg ausweichen, aber ist euch schon mal der Gedanke gekommen, dass wir Fußgänger genausowenig Lust haben Hüfttief im Schlamm zu versinken, damit ihr ungestört zur Arbeit eiern könnt?
Eigentlich seht ihr ja erbarmungswürdig auf euren sonst so stolzen Rädern aus. Wie ihr euch wacklig in den Lenker krallt, den Blick starr auf den gefährlichen Weg vor euch gerichtet. Dennoch fahrt ihr Schlangenlinien, als hättet ihr gerade gelernt ohne Stützräder zu fahren. All das erregt bei uns Fußgängern meist genug Mitleid um in den nächsten Schneehaufen auszuweichen. Wenn wir dennoch kein Mitleid haben und dem Egoismus anfallen weiter auf geräumtem Gehweg gehen zu wollen oder wir das Rad einfach viel zu spät wahrnehmen, da nicht nur ihr gebannt auf den Boden starrt, und daher eben nicht ausweichen, dann haltet ihr aber so erbarmungslos Kurs, dass man gewzungermaßen in die nächste Schneewehe hechtet und sich danach wünscht, dem nächsten Rad etwas in die Speichen zu stecken.
Also, liebe Radfahrer, im Interesse weiterer friedlicher Coexistenz: Auch wenn ihr eurer Rad noch so liebt, bei Schnee laufen oder zumindest keine arglosen Fußgänger abdrängen. Sonst werde ich wohl doch mal in einem Anfall von niederträchtigen Rachgelüsten einen von euch einen Stock in die Speichen stecken. Und das wollen wir doch wirklich nicht.

Facebook eats Souls
Since a few weeks I have my own farm, about seven fish tanks and I'm member of a Mafia-Gang. Every morning I get up and attend to my tomatos, potatoes, cranberries, cows, chickens, pinguins, multiple fish and then steal, fight, rob and murder my way through New York.
Yes, I got hooked on those terrible social games on facebook. Yes, I do know that they are anything but original or even extremely well animated and that they rely on your emotional attachment to the teary eyed cow asking you to adopt them before a virtual butcher comes and slaughters them mercilessly. Or in the case of MafiaWars, they rely on your deep resentment against the whole world and know that deep inside of us we all would like to go out and shoot people to death.
At least, that's how I explain myself my attachment to something that so obviously tries to steal money out of your pockets and is not even that well made to pretend it is all because of the great gaming atmosphere or graphics. It is just to easy to be successfull in those games. You can easily plant pineapples next to some potatoes on the same soil covered in snow and still gain money and experience and not just a smack over the head for completely ignoring the laws of nature. Your fish smile on you happily and not just die no matter how well you treat them (as I was told by some owners fish tend to do rather frequently). When you go and kill someone, you are actually rewarded for that and don't just end up being institulized for being a psychopathic mass murderer.
And that is the good side. In really bad times I sit on front of my laptop waiting for the plants to grow, the tank to go dirty and the Energy to crawl up again for hours. I want to reach certain goals, a next level, enough money for that fancy pink seaweed. And one week ago I was talking to a friend, admitting that I don't even like to plant tomatoes in the real world. I knew I had a problem by then, but I had to adopt last teary eyed penguin being molsted by polar bears so he had to flee his ice floe. And this tuna that was about to being slaughtered to become salad.
A friend suggeted to sue the gaming developers for emotional harrasement, but I'm afraid I'm already to far gone. I survived chatting to friends on facebook. I was able to stop taking quizzes telling me what famous horse film star I was most alike. And I did get over joining groups that united Haters of the yellow shirt wearers. But this time facebook has done it. It has eaten what some might call my soul. Before, I was ashamed of wanting to know what Disney princess I was alike and why I wanted to join a group that did make no sense at all. Now I don't even bother to hide it anymore.
Facebook is evil and it wants to suck the life out of you and then take over the world, while we are glued to our fish tanks. Or maybe, they just like to earn money...maybe.

Test, Test...Zwei, drei...
Hallo Welt,
Ich bin hier. Nicht, dass jemand auf mich hier gewartet hätte, aber dennoch, hier bin ich. Es hat lange gedauert im Hier zu landen und nun habe ich es geschafft. Was das Hier genau ist, weiß ich nicht genau und ich habe so den leisen Verdacht, dass ich es letztendlich nie herausfinden werde. Das soll mich aber nicht daran hindern mein Hier immer wieder aufs Neue zu betrachten und hier wem auch immer oder vielleicht auch nur mir selbst mitzuteilen.
Klingt alles etwas konfus und unausgegoren? Nun, das bin dann wohl ich. Wir werden sehen wie weit ich das ändern kann, werde und möchte. Aber letztendlich ist das alles eine Frage des Tun, Machen und Solln.
Eure
Friederike
