HAPPY NEW YEAR
to all our blog readers!

Our favourite show

he's watching you! Suit up!

It's gonna be legen - dary!

Have a look at one of the greatest shows ever, called:
"How I met your mother"

We're almost addicted to it and can't wait for new episodes. At least, Jack hasn't watched the 3rd season yet. But I have! High five!

we need to leave

After 5 nice days down here, we need to go back to Munich tonight.
I don't want to. All my problems are in munich. And here I was able to avoid thinking of them.
But we'll see.
Maybe I'll be lucky in 2009.
Just two more days left till then.

All the best so far...I see you later

Don't take it toooo seriously

Karin
Jack

When I was younger I always used to watch the Fashion Channel. I always used to like watching television.
Instead of reading a book, it was much more interesting watching movies about planes being hijacked or documentaries about huge sky scrapers, hell even cartoons were more interesting than any of the books I should've been reading for school. My favourite movie was "The little mermaid". For a boy it was quite arousing watching Ariel with her sexy little clamshell bikini top. I was always secretly jealous of all Disney characters who could sing that nice and wore those nice tiny tiny clothes. But today, I need to admit that it wasn't really all that sexy... As I grew up I have tried guy's clothes and those fit better than the bikini top of my mum.
By the way, at the moment I am quite comfortable wearing absolutely nothing at home. Karin even likes to leave the house naked but sometimes, to avoid that, I offer her to wear my long underwear. But she has some terrible clothes too, for example: Her fish net stockings with a hole in the crotch and a few skirts small enough you can only really describe them as an oversized belt. Although I kind of find the stockings a bit kinky she will never ever wear them for you now! Just think of it how sad that is... We're not even married and she won't wear kinky clothes he dreamt of. But I can imagine Jack really good in a dress with an open back. He has such great spot up on his bottom. It looks like a cute little puppy dog. I hate dogs... ok maybe I'm just scared of them but the hair and everything turns out soooo realisticly. Can someone help me to start a career as a stunt double for porn? I've always admired how they can swallow such big fruits they're always playing with instead of eating (woah) them.
But here's the last thought for all of you. Who ate all the stuff Jack wanted to eat? It wasn't him, he knows it was Karin. She is always eating the last bite just to do him a favour.

Our day at the glass factory

Today's point of acitivty was driving to the famous glass factory Joska in the Bavarian forrest area.
It took as a drove of 1 1/2 hour to go there and it was really nice. The video shows Jack how he blows glass under instructions of a real professional.
It was really cool.
They had a lot of nice stuff in the shops around there but we just had a walk around and had lunch in the adjoining restaurant.
It was a good day.
Jack got his watch shortend, because the lady in the store thought, that we bought the watch in there, and we just said something like, yes, and she fixed it for free! Stupid retail woman.
Tomorrow will be a day, where we exchange christmas presents and maybe we drive to a clothes outlet factory center in the early afternoon to get me some longsleeve shirts.
We'll see. In the evening I'll be out with Jack to go to the movies and watch Adam Sandler's BEDTIME STORIES.

A resumeé of the year

Don't look back in anger, right? I don't. The best part of the year 2008 started on 13th May.
Before then I worked, got drunk and had no special deep feelings for anybody.
Of course, when you have a lot of colleagues you sometimes feel a little bit more than just being attracted to one of them, but it never really works out that long.
I don't feel sad about that, because it happens. You think: that's it; but after a few weeks the pink glasses don't work that well anymore and the man is just a guy like all others you were with because you were desperate.

I didn't expect the year to prepare some hospital odysees for me, too. But it happened.
The best thing....all that happened after the 13th May which means Jack was right by my side.
And that was a great gift. Not just for me, but also for my parents who were worried down in Passau. They told me how glad they are that Jack has been there for me.
And I can tell you that it was the biggest favour anyone did to me ever. Really. No joke.

Another big thing this year. Me turning 30. It's just a number. And I always say, that not looking like a 30 year old is the best thing that has happened to me. So it'll be a 32 when I turn 40.
No botox, no other surgery...just good genes. Thanks grandma.

Having a loving person around who supports you in almost everything you do is amazing.
I have never felt that safe before although I feel frustrated by the situation I'm in at the moment with work and everything.
Upcoming Saturday will be THE day.
It can change our both lives. I hope it does, to make us happier than we already are.
Because, I am happy with Jack.
And we'll get through this new situation together. I am ready for our change!

A look back on the last year

I rolled over into this year without an apartment, without a room in the hostel and with very little money. In April I found an apartment, and spent a lot of time with Greg, Cameron, Dave, Simon Jacquie and lots of my other friends in the English Gardens.

May started off with a lot of alcohol and very little sleep and then on the 13th I met someone who you all know to be very special to me. Yes of course it's my better half Karin. From then on we have been absolutely inseparable. We started commuting... from Karin's apartment to mine.
It's been more than 7 months now and we've been together almost every day. Our exceptions are:

1. Karin's short lived holiday in England to see Paolo Nutini
2. 1 week where I was in Berlin for work setting up the the hall for Sony
3. 3 days in Berlin to pull it all down again
4. Karin's week at home in Passau recovering from the Terror that was our hospital experience
5. Monday and Tuesday Karin stayed down here because there was no point taking the train to Munich and back with nothing to do in Munich

That's it. I couldn't be happier!

Now coming to the end of the year. Work hasn't been good for either of us. So we're both looking for jobs in Passau. We both want more free time together and I want to be able to save money at the end of the month so I'm looking for a normal job. I'm over trying to get qualifications.

I hope you have all had a good year and are having a great Christmas with the people who are close to you and that next year will bring new adventures for everyone!

The result of a few presents

It's normal that it looks like this. Isn't it?
Noooo, we're not gonna iron the paper to reuse it again.
Are you crazy????

The Editor's Corrections

Merry Christmas to all of you, first of all.
I hope you spend a wonderful time with all your loved ones.
We had a nice evening with my parents and enjoyed unpacking presents.
Some things need to get changed. Jacks watch band needs to be shorter, my mums bodystocking needs to be longer. .
But, with my present everything is all right. :-)
Now we'll prepare to go to evening church. We're all looking forward to go, because it can just be a special night after we visited church. It's such a Christmas thing!
Love you all out there and enjoy the holidays with family and friends as we do.
We'll upload some pictures later tonight.

Lots of Love to everyone! Jack & Karin

Dancing around the christmas tree!

Weihnachten :-)

Merry Christmas to all of you, first of all.

My parents and us spent a nice evening and a quite good unpacking presents-session.

The Interview and new clothes

Well it was a good start to my experience in job interviews. I was in the interview for a good hour and a half. I thought it was really good that he took the time to get to know me and seriously give me a chance even without experience or qualification in retail. I have a good feeling and I hope I get the job.
The only thing I'm worried about is if I take the job or not because I'm not sure if I'll be able to come to Australia for the month in April if I take the Job. I'm sure I didn't ask during the interview because I just wanted to see if I have a chance to get a job without qualification or experience. I don't know what I'll do if I get the Job. I hope I get it though. I won't be able to move till I get a new job in Passau.

I went on a bit of a mystery tour with Karin's mum. I ended up at a warehouse that make pants. I got two pairs of jeans and a wonderful wool jumper from Her and Karin's Dad for Christmas!

it's nice to be here again this weekend. It's not like our weekends in Munich. We've got Karin's parents just next door and don't have to go anywhere! :D OK catch you all later this week!

a good start

Jack went to the interview and - his opinion - it went really well.
They'll give him an answer in a week to tell him a YES or a NO.
Now my mum grabbed him right after we came back to drive to a store with him. :-)
They get along really well with eachother and that's great.
I wanted to tell his parents the good news, but skype broke. Don't know why.

I am at my parents kitchen at the moment with a nice view out of the window.
I can count snowflakes at the moment. Maybe it's not just that I am ... dreaming of a white christmas . That'll be great.
Because we'll all be together here with my parents I convinced them to get a real christmas tree instead of a setting up the plastic one they already have.
The plastic tree is creepy and looks awful and it'll stay in the cellar. Good news.

I think Jack might be back in about 2 hours what means he'll post later for you guys about his interview. Oh my god, he was soooo excited.
And maybe he has to tell you more about the shopping with my mum. ;-)
I'll see you next time.

How do I live...

At the moment my world's upside down. Everything I expected to happen didn't work out.
Jack asked me to think positive. And I do...for him, for his expectations and I wish he will reach his targets.
When I walked to the doctor today obviously you can see that I don't feel good. I'll be off work till new year and maybe longer if my situation doesn't change till that point.

Fresh air is necessary. That's waht they all tell me. And I am working on it. I try to sort everything out and make sure, that my new year starts better than it finishes.

Thanks to the 2 most important persons in my life now who help me to get back in the line.
Jack, Isil: love you!

be social

Hi,
to continue socialising as my therapist told me I was out the whole day today.
I met Isil and Marion to chat and I tried to forget the stuff in my head for a few hours.
Jack got an appointment for an interview in Passau. Lucky guy! Maybe he will get a job sooner than me. :-)
I got almost the christmas mood,...but have a look at the picture and you'll see what I mean.

F&$% you all Munich!

Ok... Not all of you... Just our jobs. We're both really unhappy with our jobs, our apartments and generally living in Munich.

PLEASE DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS WRONG!!!!

We love our friends in Munich, they make it bearable and when we move to Passau we'll miss them all! But the time comes for every one to make the decision to stay or to go. We've decided to go together.

I'm not happy at work. I feel like the black sheep. I only ever get sent out on productions when they really need me. Because I don't get sent out on jobs I end up in the warehouse packing for the productions or in the workshop repairing cables and lights. It's been like this since April and I don't think it's going to change. I still enjoy going and working on productions but I don't want to work for a company that doesn't support me, doesn't want to have me there and doesn't believe I can achieve anything. No one understands how my learning disabilities make me different and no one seems to care.

So I'm going to search for a new Job in Passau. Ask most people who know me and they'll tell you I can sell anyone a mac! :P So that said, I'm going to try getting a job at store like Harvey Norman or Dick Smith here in Germany and start earning some real money to take a step towards financial independance that Mum and Dad will really appreciate as much as I will!

We had a great weekend in Passau. This time our friend, Isil, Came with us! It's always great to have her around she's funny and a lot of fun! It was nice to be down there with Karin's parents and to get away from the real big smoke for a few days. It was kind of suffucating as we inched our way towards Munich in the train. All of us thinking about how everything we weren't looking forward to this week.

Ok all that said work has no Idea and I still have to send out lots of emails and letters to companies to get a new job! Cya!

that's it

Hi,
at the moment I feel like crap. My moodyness is taking place all over and I cannot handle it by myself.
I went to my doctor to have a look and she advised me to see a psychologist as soon as possible to avoid a strong depression.
So, ... I got my appointment day after tomorrow.
we'll see.

Love
