It's past the middle of the year 2016 and I am behind with the statistics for 2015.
Here goes as good as I remember:
Last years resolutions and what became of them:
As for travelling and other plans, keeping it very open. I would love to have it happen but ain't making proper plans. There's too many options: Leipzig,New York, Singapore, Hamburg, Denmark, Italy would be nice too. (coming up 2016).
2015: I met 40+ people, was in 3 countries (Germany, USA, Denmark), 2 continents (EU, AMERICA), 8+ different cities. I have been to 3 places I hadn't been before.
Didn't move yet another year, yus. Trust issues, dropped friends, birthday at Kim Bar/Pierre Version. Lots of bathtub times. Hanging lots at Antje Öklesund, 48H event and closing week and closing party. Apparently, they kept organizing shows afterwards too. First time having sex with Tom in New York. Making out with Arnold. Arnold asking me out to be his girl, couple since June 20. Lots of love and support and energy from the kiddo. Ava Rodenberg was born. I took a first dip in a lake in 15 years. Got pierced Feb 3rd. Anja, Jules, Christopher slept over. Found a great roommate in May, met el solito at a street art thingy in Berlin. New York for a month in April plus seeing Carla with kids in DC, triple La Dispute gig afterwards to stay happy here. Good books, Tanja being a great friend. Good shows, good art by Anthony. Active summer fun with Arnold, camp out at festival with Colette, trips to the sea. Hang with Anna and Billerbeck. Watching cartoons, quitting a job! Therapy going into pause. Feeling better. Hanging at Bakeri. Learning guitar chords. Boating with Arnold. Trip to Sans Souci. Museum visits. Visiting Bina in Hannover. Getting a new bike built by Arnold. Made a portfolio and a baking video. Hung with Grandpa a bunch. Crafted my own Christmas decoration and celebrated with Hannes and Arnold only. Went on a demonstration and critical mass bike tour. Started a new job. One year sober.
Slept in 13 beds, with two different guys, had 3 crushes, dealt finally with one and finished the business. I met Yoni Wolf, Alden Penner, Toby Goodshank.
Been to 46 concerts of which I paid for 36. Of those 4 were festivals.
Not nice: Lawsuits due to ex-roommates, thoughts of overdosing in February, struggling mentally until kinda stable in May, big fight with my sister, sick in pain early year, work bullshitting me especially May-August, mentally struggling with joblessness.
Movies: watched with Arnold.
Books: 8+ books, Goat Mountain, Your Fathers Where Are They & The Prophets Do They Live Forever, Quicksand by Toeltz a favourite!
Shows: Oum Shatt surprise after Allie show, Charlie Cunningham first time, Owen Pallett and Beach House at Kampnagel, Sufjan Stevens in New York, Yoni Wolf and Serengeti in New York, 48H AÖ, triple La Dispute Tour, Molly Nilsson and Young Fathers at TSF, AÖ closing week with Allie, Alden Penner and Michael Cera, Alinae Lumr Festival, Sufjan Stevens at Admiralspalast, Destroyer.
GOOD THINGS TO THOSE WHO STAY TRUE.

QUOTE 2k14: I met 42+ people, was in 3 countries (Germany, Morocco, UK), 2 continents (EU, AFRICA), 7+ different cities. I have been to 3 places I hadn't been before. I screamed in a fight for the first time in many years, had three different roommates, my mum turned half a century old. I loved her a lot this year. I didn't move and only lived in my rented apartment. Lea and Anja stayed for a visit. I threw up the first time from alcohol. I stopped drinking Jul 16. Slept in 9 beds, mostly alone, shared 2+ times. I've had 5 crushes, 3 slight short encounters, one of them only still sorta serious. There were three guys flirting on NYE, one Italian spitting my face, one lesbian hook up attempt and one lesbian misunderstanding, oddly. Joined the cloud appreciation society, two parties, being beaten up in Morroco, one mental break down, burn out and depression, two photo booth moments, The Unicorns reunion, the tape mystery solved and The Aim Of Design commenting on that. I met Nick Thorburn and Parker Kindred. Zac Pennington liked lots of my tweets, Yoni Wolf replied a tumblr txt, Toby Goodshank sent a postcard, Adam Green became a dad, saw Win Butler shop. Tobert from Turbostaat ate my chocolates on stage, we talked about gardening. Didn't kiss anyone, stopped trusting two very close friends. I quit one job, called in sick 2 months+ and spent too much money on Christmas presents. Been to 41 concerts of which I paid for 29. Started therapy, I might have bipolar disorder, a heart rhythm disturbences, 10+ months the year sucked, here's the good though:
Alden Penner record, La Dispute and Brontide record, Nick Diamonds comic+extra drawing, Mondrian exhibition in Hamburg, Anticon Sweater, Sea Trip twice, Arthur <3.
Movies: HER, MOMMY, TWO FACES OF JANUARY, SNEAK WITH JO, FINDING VIVIAN MAYER
Books: 7+ books, Bukowski a favourite.
Shows: La Dispute, Islands twice, Mutiny on the Bounty, Turbostaat, Angel Olsen+Allie, Allie (Kugelbahn), Angel Olsen+Rodrigo Amarante, Owen Pallett, Brontide release show in London, Perfume Genius.
QUOTE 2k13: I met 30+ people, was in 5 countries, 1 continent, 10+ different cities. I flew to 3 cities I hadn't been to before. I became an aunt, had a major fight with my brother that left me in tears. It's been my brother's 25th and my dad's 50th birthday. I moved 5 times in one year alone. I lived in sublets, own apartments, with friends, shared living and with my parents. Slept in 11 beds, shared my bed with 3+ people on top, though. I've had 5 slight crushes, one of them being serious. I met Nick White and Binki Shapiro. Yoni Wolf became a follower on tumblr and Alden Penner is following my Twitter account. I met Tobert from Turbostaat. Those magic moments still happen. My favourite concerts were Foals in Hamburg, I Was a Cub Scout in London, Allie in Hamburg. Met an ex-drug dealer with my brother, which was way odd. Coped. Had one bike accident, called in sick twice. Didn't kiss anyone. Randomly deleted 50 contacts from my address book. Spent most cash on living and deposit. I quit one job.
Oh, and not to forget 49 plus concerts. #btdt #beentheredonethat.
QUOTE 2k12: I met 70+ new people the past year, was in 3 countries only, 2 continents, 10+ cities. Have had 5 ongoing crushes that have been spread out on ALL diary pages. Had one damn broken heart. Slept in 12+ beds and spent lots of cash. 41 concerts, 2 festivals.
Here goes as good as I remember:
Last years resolutions and what became of them:
listen to your heart and guts- to maintain my cool, to always listen to WHAT I WANT
- continue to work on the book and pastry notes
- aim to start a botanical study course lasting one year and I will also keep the psychology studies in the back of my mind
focus is rather on maintaining the standards for a bit- trumpet lessons
- release zine/book
- Danish classes when there is extra money
no more moving hopefully too until next yearmaybe going for a new job, depending how it goes with the health. MAYBE in for pastry againmaintain my rather healthy lifestyle of little coffee, lots of green tea, a healthy meal a day and little sugar.I will try to maintain good fashion and style and keep the hair neat at all timesI wanna cut back on activity to have more time to process mentally, keep the diary more present than past.I will aim to be positive and to only care when it matters.more gigsI wanna finish therapy and have it be an influence.
As for travelling and other plans, keeping it very open. I would love to have it happen but ain't making proper plans. There's too many options: Leipzig,
