Music is amazing.
I was feeling not-too-hot last night. I think I've been overexposed to humans lately. I'm so used to spending lots of time alone, and I can't quite adjust to spending all of time with others. I crave solitude.
So last night I got home, and was feeling blah. So I decided to write in my journal, and listen to some music. I put on Eisbrecher.
I wanted to preserve the mood I was in, so that I could write it down. But within moments, all I wanted to do was dance.

In gratitude, I post some lyrics:





Eisbrecher

Wenn der Nebel kommt
Wenn dich die Kälte beißt
Wenn der Sirenenschrei
die dunkle Nacht zerreißt
Wenn die Hoffnung stirbt
Wenn du den Kampf verlierst
Wenn du des Teufels Hauch
in deinem Nacken spürst

Und es wird kalt

Siehst Du den Eisbrecher
Eine neue Eiszeit beginnt
Komm mit mir auf den Eisbrecher
Wir sind auf dem Weg ins Licht
und das Eis um uns zerbricht

Wenn die Tapferkeit
aus deinem Krper weicht
Und dir die Schattenwelt
die Hand zum Gruße reicht

Wenn der letzte Mann
sich seinem Schicksal stellt
Wenn es nichts mehr gibt
was dich am Leben hält

Und es wird kalt

Siehst du den Eisbrecher
Eine neue Eiszeit beginnt
Komm mit mir auf den Eisbrecher
Wenn die Nacht kein Wort mehr spricht
und das Eis um uns zerbricht

Und das Eis zerbricht
Icebreaker

When the fog is coming
When the cold is biting you
When the siren's cry
rips apart the night
When hope is dying
When you're losing the battle
When you feel the Devil's breath
against your neck

And it's getting cold

Do you see the icebreaker
A new ice age is beginning
Come with me on the icebreaker
We are on the course into the light
and the ice around us is shattering

When the courage
is draining from your body
And the shadow world
is shaking hands with you

When the last man
is facing his fate
When nothing is left
that is keeping you alive

And it's getting cold

Do you see the icebreaker
A new ice age is beginning
Come with me on the icebreaker
When the night speaks no more words
and the ice around us is shattering

And the ice is shattering

Just before my Complex Variables final, Adnan offered me a pound of his mom's home-made sweets if I did well on the test. Do well I did - or at least I got the 60 I needed in the course (Did I forget to mention that? I GOT A 60 IN CV!!!).
However, this taught Adnan a lesson that I hoped he would never learn: He discovered that I will do just about anything for Desi sweets. So, a few days later, when he was suckered into performing in a Bengali cultural dance show, and asked to find a white person to participate as well, all he had to do was look at me and say "I'll make it two pounds."
Last Sunday Adnan and I went to our second rehearsal. We spent the whole day there, in a severely underventilated room. I can't remember why, but Adnan upped his offer to three pounds. I will become very fat, but it will be worth it.

Today we are having another rehearsal. I am involved in a bridal fashion show (Adnan and I are the Muslim couple!) and a dance with Adnan in which he proposes marriage to me. This is very difficult, as I must look at Adnan with love in my eyes. It's hard to keep my face straight.

In other news:
If you ever wondered or didn't understand why I love Rammstein so much, go to herzeleid.com, where you will see the cover of their new single. I think it will explain everything.
On the Harry Potter front, the Lexicon has confirmed who R.A.B. is. Sparkle, sparkle.
