Merry Christmas, guys! I know I’m late but I was too busy with gaming to actually get my ass up and write this when it was more appropriate :D Yes you read that correctly, I spent most of Christmas in front of a console beating up stuff. I approve heavily – I don’t quite care if baby Jesus does, but then again, I never did. When it wasn’t at home, I was at work. Consequently, I didn’t spend a single day with my family. It just wasn’t possible and that’s okay, I mean, can’t be changed. As a result however, it might as well have been Easter for all I care. No Christmas-y feelings whatsoever here : / Oh well. I did bake cookies, at least.

Also: presents! Let me show off what I got :D )

Language is love. Finally realized this. I mean, I knew it before and I knew that I held an unhealthy amount of appreciation for it, but for a moment, I seemed to have forgotten the extent of it. A couple of days ago, a non-native friend of mine asked for help with her German presentation. Of course I helped her out, and when I left her apartment three hours later, I was smiling so madly that it almost scared me. I had so much fun discussing language and mistakes and cultural aspects in language and what-not. Unsurprisingly, this really helped me finally let go of my little dream of ever studying medicine. I still think it’s highly interesting and I wish I’d gotten the chance, but while medicine is of interest to me, it’s not my passion. That’s language.

More musings! )

Tadaima! I don't want to bore you with the details, but it was exhausting and expensive.

Truth be told, I've really hit the "mourning nau." phase of this mess. Now that everything is starting to settle down and I get a bit of time to myself, I'm really starting to remember all of his good sides and certain events where I felt very happy and all "Ah. I'm his daughter after all wwww". I can't say that I miss him already or anything because as I said, we haven't been in contact recently so nothing will really change, but... Before, I think that there was always this backdoor kinda thing in my mind. I chose not to be in contact with him. Now I couldn't do it, even if I wanted to. That is finally hitting home, as well as a couple of other things. Like, I'm starting to feel regret for not being more understanding of some stuff and I mean. Our last conversation was a huge argument about money. Or maybe it was about money as a front and about other things when you looked deeper into it. Actually, I don't care - it was an argument and we both left angry and haven't seen each other since. Tbh I can't even remember it very well anymore. My last clear memory is of him standing in my tiny kitchen in Bremen, asking me if he could look into my fridge (which I thought was weird) and then laughing over the lack of choices. That was what started the argument at least, considering that my "lack of choices" resulted from his lack of child support OTZ Oh well. It's in the past.

Because I can't very well sit around doing nothing, as much as I wish I could, I've been keeping up with 2525 and ofc Skyrim a lot (which is awesome awesome awesome). More flaily posts later. Honestly, fandom is a great distraction and I think it's actually good that I'm going to work already again, even though it was hell today with how I was feeling. It can't possibly be healthy to mourn so much. He's gone, that's sad and tragic and really stupid but I need to accept it and move on with my life.

Today my father died.

He shot himself while his gf was out shopping. Nobody quite understands why yet, but I have some rather vague guesses which I don't really feel like sharing tbh.

Personally, idk how I feel about this, either. I'm rather shocked and I'm a little sad, too (nobody should die) but... probably not as sad as I should be, considering that well. He died. I haven't been in contact with him for years and that was both his and my choice. He has never been supportive, never helped me in much of anything and we've never had a ~deep bond~ of any kind, but I suppose that's the case for many. I don't know if I should feel bad for being so annoyed at having to take care of his funeral. It's really bothersome considering that he still had a German ID but lived and died in Spain. I'm his last living relative who is under the age of 80, which means that I'm responsible for a lot of things now. To be honest, I am ... really annoyed at this because it means I'll have to pay a lot of money for things whereas he made sure that he would never have to give me any money whatsoever.

You shouldn't talk bad about the dead I guess, but I'm honestly not trying to badmouth him. He lived his life the way the thought it should be lived and I respect that. I don't agree with his ways but hey. Nobody ever said that I should. He didn't, either. But in the same way that I didn't support his choices, he didn't support mine either and I was his daughter when it was convenient. I was good for bragging with ("She's so smart! Look at her!") but only as long as I took care of myself and didn't ask him for anything.

Ah, idk. I'm still confused and shocked. Maybe I'll be able to be really sad later.
