A philosophical question

[winter]

What does one write about in Livejournal when there's nothing to write about that would be interesting to other people?

In the past few days I've managed to crack a tooth, break two nails, learn the basics of financial modelling, start arranging the four days I'll spend in Berlin in June (watching dancing vampires, of course) and chat a bit with fyrie. Work's taking up a large enough chunk of my mind that I don't have much energy left once I go home - enough to write a bit of our RP/collaborative fiction thing, read the comms I follow, and that's about it. About the only interesting thing in my real life is that I'm going to the last audition stage of the Moniuszko vocal competition on Saturday. I'm tentatively arranging to buy a Takarazuka DVD via a friend, but again, that's not of interest to anyone.

I don't see any points about meta, I'm not watching/reading/listening to anything that'd constitute a fandom other people follow, and what writing creativity I have is engaged by the aforementioned RP/collaborative fiction thing.

I'm seriously entertaining the idea of taking up drawing again just so I'll have something to post that other people can poke fun at.

I'll keep that in mind ;) I'm up to mid-January in archiving the threads and wibbling on whether to put them in a timeline order or leave them as is.

I'm staying in a hotel that's near Tiergarten and I'm paying 40 euro per night for a double ensuite with breakfast, so it's kind of hard to beat :) We're generally planning on a lot of sightseeing and shopping...

Well, I at least won't have much of a problem reading them out of timeline order if that's too much trouble.

And that certainly sounds good! Hmm, would you let me know the name of the hotel so I can compare that and my father's hotel for when I go there, whenever it will be.

I actually think it'd read better in thread order, because that was the way we "saw" it, so to speak. We plan ahead sometimes, but often things just work out :)

http://www.berlin-hotel-sickingerhof.de - but their rates there are higher. I went through Booking.com and just like with Vienna, I got a sizeable discount through them :) I have to admit I'm kind of enamoured of the service, since their customer service is also stellar - I had a slight issue and I got a reply in Polish, explaining everything, and they even contacted the hotel for me :)

Yeah, I think thread order would be fine. It's not like operating between different time levels is difficult anyway, that happens even in published literature that is planned that way.

Thanks! Booking.com seems to be very useful for this kind of stuff.

Bah, I want to go and travel - I wonder if I could afford it. Stupid being stuck here on the edge of Europe where it's a lot more trouble and cost to travel to interesting places. Though of course it's better than being stuck on another continent...

I must say I'm quite thankful for trains most days. Though Budapest will be plane, simply because it'd be two days lost on travelling otherwise.

Can't wait till I'm in Geneva and have a considerable part of Europe in relatively easy reach. I'll only be able to travel on weekends and will not have much extra money in my disposal, but still, I'm thinking I'll at least go to see Les Mis in St. Gallen (Jesper will be there then, hopefully Mathias Edenborn will be, too) and whatever is playing in Stuttgart at the time - can't recall if Wicked is supposed to start by then but I think so... Plus I'll probably go doing shopping in France or Germany at some point just because it'll no doubt be cheaper than Switzerland.

In sequence! I wouldn't make sense otherwise! :D And we only have a couple more old story arcs to cover (H and A's first encounter, and possibly the first trial?)

[winter]

Sequence meaning?

And I'd rather not do the trial, though some individual stories pre- and post- might be good. It makes sense to have it be the big thing everyone only alludes to :)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

In linear order, timeline-wise, because we're so all over the place and we know where we're headed but anyone who reads it might not.

Plus, I don't think I could rein Ildri in and make hir behave for it.
