joy over screaming teenage girls and poop on my shoes

Happy Birthday to my blog. I love you and I can't believe that you're already two. :)
Due to a giant lack of creativity there's no fancy anniversary post (yesterday's post was more an anniversary post than this thing here...read it if you want). 

As I said yesterday I like the blog anniversary better than my own birthday, that's why I spent the afternoon doing some fun stuff. I spent the morning trying to calm down and writing a mid-term exam. Yes, a mid-term exam. It's so unfair. I have my finals at the very end of June :(

Okay. What I did today: After writing the exam I rushed home, charged my camera, my phone and my mp3-player, because everything was almost dead and after killing one or two hours with tumblr, I got on the subway and went all the way to Shönbrunn. I haven't been there in a while. Turned out that at this time of the year there are a lot of 1.Asian people 2.other non-asian tourists 3.mothers with their babies 4.old people reading the newspaper or solving crossword puzzles 5.young couples making out. Um. Yeah. A place for everyone.

I kinda got bored. Maybe because of all the groups of people mentioned above or maybe it was the heat. I don't know. I thought I need a place where it is fun, which is more birthday-like. And what's better for such a thing than the Würstelprater, Vienna's amusement park. Yay! 
Here are some pictures I took there: 

I was surprised that there weren't many people. Okay. It's Wednesday. A school day. 
I liked it there. Everything's so colorful. There are so many things to see. Music everywhere. People screaming at the top of their lungs. Fantastic.
I really enjoyed the screaming teenage girls (there were mostly teenage girls). And their faces before the crazy ride started. Priceless. 
And no, I did not take a ride. I'm not crazy, okay? Honestly. When it comes to roller coasters and such things I'm the biggest coward ever. I would totally die on a roller coaster. 
I prefer to stand there and look at the people who have fun and scream instead of me.

It was a fantastic afternoon. The only thing that wasn't that fun was the moment when I wondered why the ground is soft and it turned out that the soft ground was dog poop. I'm talented when it comes to getting my shoes into dog poop...sigh.

I hope you had fantastic day as well.
And I hope that my third blogger year will be as good as this one. 
Or even better. :)

Thank you!

Yesterday was my blog anniversary! One year blogging. That's cool.

1 year.
148 posts.
363 comments.
44 followers.

It was an awesome first year and I want to say "Thank you!" to all of you.
I'm glad that I started this blog and I'll never regret it.
Here are some of my reasons, why I love blogging:

  • You can write about what you want and share interesting things with other people
  • You "meet" amazing people
  • Followers and comments :)
  • Following other blogs and read interesting posts
  • I improve my language skills all the time. The best thing you can do if you want to improve your language skills, is reading something in this language EVERY DAY! For me there isn't much difference anymore between reading a German or an English text. It depends on how difficult the text is, but most of the time, I can switch between the languages without realising that I switched the language...
  • Click at the "whos amung" button at the end of the right sidebar and look at the map. Except three people, all my readers are from North America. I always wanted to have contacts all over the world, but I've never thought, that it is that easy. I LOVE to meet people from all over the world!
  • I'm happy about where I ended up at blogger. Let's say it in different words: There are many different types of blogs out there. Blogs about life, crafting, fashion, books etc. And there are always people behind these blogs. It could have happened, that I started a blog about fashion instead of one about...um...what's my blog about? - I don't know...um...because I'm quite interested in fashion. But I think I would have completely different followers with other opinions and a different lifestyle. The thing I want to say is, that all of my followers (I think all of you, if not - sorry for saying all :) are christians.
    You encourage me a lot!
    I think I should write a post about my faith. Yes, I think I have to write about it...
I think that's it.

Thank you again! :)

To celebrate my anniversary I'll host a giveaway in the summer!
