Things I'm frustrated about

In the past couple of months I started feeling more and more lonely. And why? I am too different from anyone else near me. This does not make me believe that there is something wrong with me. I think I am perfectly normal, just out of the ordinary. Which is a good thing, in my opinion. But it drags some other things with it, especially missing a person to talk to.

I have almost completely different tastes in music than my friends.

NONE of my friends likes sports.

NONE of my friends likes to watch the things I like to watch on TV. "Mondenii" excepted.

NONE of my friends likes the games that I like.

My friends are not romantic at all and think that it is plain stupid to be romantic in the real life.

I admit that I do not like some things that my friends do, but for them it's easy, because they find easily other persons with whom they can talk about them.

I just wish I could find someone to talk to. Just a person who likes a few of the things I like. I'm tired of being told that what I do is boring or not interesting. I've had enough. I don't really care, but it's not pleasant to hear it every day either.

Why do I have to be this different?!...

Well, I guess I'll have to keep looking. That's it. I'm used to waiting for something good to happen and I'm not going to lose my hope. It's just that it's better when two persons are waiting. They can talk to each other.

Fairytale :)

This post is not going to be entirely a serious newspaper-like one. Simply because what I'm going to talk about has a strong shade of a fairytale.

Why do I repeat the word "fairytale"? Because "Fairytale" is the title of the song with which Alexander Rybak, representing Norway, won last night the Eurovision contest. Isn't it great? :D

I liked a few other songs, but when I heard him, everything was clear. He became instantly my favourite. No surprise, right? :))

In a few minutes I found out everything I needed to. (Hail Wikipedia =)) ) Alexander Rybak, born in Minsk, moved with his parents to Norway aged four. He's been playing instruments since he was five, so he's got his way with violin and piano. He reached the semifinals of the Norway's version of the Idol and won the talent competition Kjempesjansen with his own song, "Foolin`".

What else could you possily ask? He's a violonist, pianist, composer and actor from Norway. He composes his own songs, "Fairytale" included. He won the Heddaprisen for his role (the fiddler) in Oslo Nye Teater's production of "Fiddler on the Roof". He stars as Levi in the film Yohan directed by Grete Salomonsen.

Besides, he is very very very very cute and good-looking. :D

The song "Fairytale" and the way he and the modern folk dance company Frikar interpreted it, left me speechless. It was just... PERFECT!

The show was amazing. The music, the lights, the dance, the violin, the lyrics (oh, the lyrics..), his voice (:x:x), the girls` voice, the rythm, the fireworks, the drums, everything melted in and created a modern fairytale.

It was fantastic!

I really do NOT care what other people think of him, or if they like the song.

The facts speak for themselves. He won the Eurovision final, breaking the previous record of 292 points scored by Lordi in 2006. He finished with a grand total of 387 points, 169 more than the runner up of Iceland and 95 points more than the previous record holders. There is nothing more to say about his performance. :D

Below is the video, watch it and let yourself carried on the wings of magic. I will certainly do so. `Cause I'm in love with a fairytale!!! :x:x

No title. At all.

I figured out something. One of my biggest problems about posting here is that I can never find a title. Really. Never. It's frustrating.

Now... I know somebody who is going to be very happy about what I'm going to talk about and I shall get to the point. So... (I should be paid for advertising.) That somebody (I haven't asked for permission to use the name) told me once about a band. From Romania. I think I made a funny face at the time. By chance, I had enough patience to give them a try. And I listened to a song. To my huge surprise, I really liked what I heard, so I listened to a few more songs. They are one of the best bands in Romania.

The Amsterdams.

Now they have a new not-so-understandable video, though funny, and I like the song a lot. Here it is:



And, just for fun, "CUZ I'M SCOTTISH". =))



Hope you enjoyed the videos. I can't get enough of them. :))

Music again. Mika is going to release an EP, "Songs for Sorrow", on June 8th, but it is available for download in a digital version from today. Unfortunately, I am at the countryside and I cannot get it. Still, I am waiting for the album, as the music tours Mika posted on his former blog, now an interactive website, made me so curious that patience is hard for me to find. I will drive some people mad soon enough. :))

And, just to make my parents happy... I am looking for someone who would enjoy going to classical music concerts or to the theater. If whoever reads this wants to go or knows anybody who wants to go, just let me know. I do not think I can find someone who likes this kind of stuff, but it's worth the try. :)

I'll go play Puzzle Pirates. Again. :))

Random thoughts

As my birthday came, too many people got too enthusiastic. I really do not care about this specific day in my life (meaning the celebration of my birthday) and I got bored of being asked about what presents I want. My opinion is that if you request something, that is not a present any more. Not many people agree, but what can I do? :))

My biggest problem this week is this: why, on Earth, boys or men who look from good to fabulous with long hair, insist on keeping it short from time to time?! It seems to me that they are plain stupid. Some people know exactly what I am talking about and why I'm frustrated. :)) But I believe I am right and there is nothing that can make me change my mind. Okay, the summer is coming and it's too hot outside. Oh, really? Then I am supposed to cut off my hair? Or I should probably die because of the heat. I can take it, though, so I cannot understand why a guy couldn't. Especially when he looks good.

I can't wait for the release of Mika's new album.

My brother gave me a box of liqueur chocolates. I love them him. :))

John Higgins won the Snooker World Championship on Monday, which is fantastic. He was my favourite in the final against Shaun Murphy.

I like the songs of Leona Lewis. She has an amazing voice.

The English book is waiting for me, so I shall be going on with my lessons. Later.

Late Easter Post

Since I have to think in English (and I have to do it fast), all my posts will be in English, at least until I get to my purpose. Some people may be happy, some won't. Who cares, anyway? :))

I have already started this with my last post, but I'm considering this a tradition from now on.

Speaking of traditions... Has anyone noticed that the Easter has lost its spiritual meaning? I mean... People think only about food, parties, trips and some other superficial stuff. Beside this, the expressions "Hristos a inviat" and the answer "Adevarat a inviat" have become almost as commonly used as "Hello". Just the words, no other meaning.

I strongly believe that Romanian is the most inexpressive language I have ever heard. For example, to stay connected to the theme of the post: isn't kind of stupid the double meaning of the expression "Paste fericit"? Everyone thinks of it as a joke, not thinking about the fact that no one is able to tell me the correct name of the holiday.

I spent the Easter out of this horrible town, at the countryside, playing Puzzle Pirates. This is My Pirate Page. Pleeeease click on those links, even if you don't care. :D

Alrighty then. Bye-bye now! :)
