COMMITMENTS

SO there it is: 6th January 2015. Almost a week in the new year and still no sign of that "Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!" Slipping or not slipping, ladies and gentlemen I am still me and I am still adventurous as my situation allows me to.

Recently I have began to think about volunteering with UNICEF or some other organization just make sure I am indeed being a better person, so far though I haven gathered the guts to give myself to volunteering. What is wrong with me, people?! I think it is the being really useful part that scares the shit(excuse the language) out of me. I have been a volunteer before: for the Red Cross and for Special Olympics and other organizations, but then I was less, lets face it selfish and I was less aware of time and how it should be spend... Now I hear the clock every time when I feel like doing something fun, or something that really requires dedication. And volunteering is really about dedication. 

Why is it that as we get older we cannot commit anymore?

 

LAPTOPLESS TO LAPTOPFUL

THERE is nothing I love more than a rainy day. And luckily enough London has a lot to offer on that bit :) It is the only time when I get to cuddle guiltless with a book and tea and have some me time. And I admit, almost proudly,  I have embezzled my coach for quite a while recently... I am a villain, a scoundrel and mostly a book addict, sue me!

Yes, yes, I know there would be a lot of scolding on your behalf, because it has been ages since I last blogged, but please, bear with me for a while until I tell you my latest and my not so fresh stories from the last couple of weeks. 

No longer than to two days after my last blog, my laptop - my dear, poor, old Chekhov (don't laugh it is one of my peculiarities: I name my technology and you are in no need to hear how I named my camera and my phone) fell under the vicious spell of a virus and lost all its video, internet and audio drivers. As a person devoted to her online activities it is surprising to admit that I took it quite calmly. I didn't rush fixing the damn machine, because I decided to embark on a journey of simple living, away from technology and closer to nature and people.

I am not a sociopath you know, I do love communicating and mingling, occasionally. Besides as the end of October was approaching I was all excited about my first Halloween here - pumpkin carving, Supernatural marathon, cupcake baking and of course the casual Trick or Treating. Nothing magical or extraterrestrial, I promise, but I ended up with a new hair color and plans for transforming myself into a pink-haired mystical book lover, or better yet a librarian.

I haven't gone totally bonkers, have I? I do admit having one too many hot chocolate drinks, but still I am pretty sure sugar has no hold on my brains, yet :D

And now almost a month later I am back to "normal" and catching up with my cyber-self and most of all continuing with my blog. The one thing I am really pleased with from my month away is that I finally got back on track with my sleeping habits. I am no longer an owl, I am a regularly sleeping gal.

So this is it, my friends. Keep following my blog for more of the stories of a LDN Girl with a working laptop...
