we should fix the salad.

mom: i should fix the salad. 

me: why should you fix the salad?

[...]

me: [...] i mean, why do you have to fix the salad? who broke it? i didn't touch it. did you break the salad, mom? if you did, YOU'D BETTER FIX IT!

1. this was a joke of the "me" in the book. but it stuck in my head.

2. i should try to fix the salad i broke.

3. which is, of course, not salad.

4. we all should try to fix the salad we broke.

5. i read this book in one day. 310 pages. i couldn't stop reading.

6. you should read this book. it's hilarious.

7. attention:

a) it contains a lot of cussing. i didn't mind.

b) if you're not okay with homosexuality you probably shouldn't read it...

c) ...or probably you should read it because of that.

d) never mind. i don't mind if you do not agree with homosexuality.

e) as long as you don't hurt/insult/etc. people who are gay.

Thanks. 

 I do what I do, you do what you do and let's agree to disagree when we don't agree. :)

And I'm not only talking about homosexuality. This "rule" is true for [almost] everything.

Thank you for the rain

Also I really like umbrellas. It's like "I have a roof! I carry it with me!"...Umbrellas always amuse me.

- John Green in Umbrellas Amuse Me: Observations from One Day in Munich

My day started too late. Too late means 11:00 a.m., which is too late considering that I should have been at university at 8:30 and promised my mom to call her at 10:00.

After some soup for breakfast, lunch or whatever it was I went to university, because the internet decided not to work again and I had to do some homework online. 

I was there for nearly two hours. Sitting in the hallway, freezing. I love old buildings, but they are not fun in the winter. And if you're wondering why I was sitting in the hallway: You can only sit in the hallways or on cold stairs or in the library. There are no rooms to go when you have to wait or just want to work...old building...really old.

I decided to go home and as a left the building I stood in the rain. Oh rain, how much do I love you?

I'm glad it's raining and not snowing. I do not like winter and can't wait for spring. And mild weather and rain are the first signs of spring.

I was so happy about the weather that I grabbed my camera and an umbrella and went to a park to take some pictures. The only thing I forgot: It's january, which means the day ends at 4:30 pm.

So I stood there in the dark. I was a bit disappointed and the pictures didn't turn out how I wanted. 

But I'm happy. And that's the important thing.

And I finally have a reason to share this quote. Love it!

Location: Burggarten Vienna in front of a Mozart statue. The big building in the background is the Museum of Art History, the only museum I like. The road between the park and the museum is the Ringstraße, a circular road surrounding the first district of Vienna. The first district is the one with all the main tourist attractions...

Note #01: I write down the location to educate you bit... :)

Note #02: If the rain isn't heavy I usually don't use an umbrella. I went to the Burggarten without using the umbrella. I used it for the photos and went back to the underground station without it... ;)

I waited and waited and...that's ME!

It's two o'clock in the morning. I'm still awake, because I waited for a video to be uploaded to Youtube.
As you all already know I went to this event with John Green, the author and YouTuber, who failed to sign my book.
Youtuber. Yes. Videos.
He and his brother make videos every monday, wednesday and friday and they are just awesome and hilarious.
Aaand. John made one about Vienna!
Here it is! Pay attention (I had to check the spelling of attention in the dictionary! Lame...! Antonia, go to bed!) at the very beginning of the video.
Yeah, that's me in the beginning. The one with the pink cardigan :)

I love this video.
It's strange to see all these places where I walk several times a week. Seeing the balloon man and the dance group and the streets and awww! Vienna! I love you!
But I've never realised that there are that many stone babies...I haven't noticed a single one...I have to find them...
Enjoy the video!

And I need sleep. Only four hours, but at least it's sleep. Sigh...

He tried to sign my book...and failed!

There are maybe a few people who read my super long post on friday. I mentioned there that my favourite Youtuber is in town at the moment.
Well, today was the day of the reading/signing event and it was the best thing ever! (and totally better than going to university (which I should have been doing instead)).
He also signed my copy of his book. Or let's say he tried.
He needed three pens to finally get it signed, because all the pens didn't work. So he signed it twice and wrote "Fail" under his first try. :D
And he apologized, "Sorry for ruining your book"
He's amazing...
