Ich bin auch gerade dran. Keiner hat Siouxsie live gesehen, merkwürdig. Ich dafür ein paar Mal, das gleicht es aus ;-)

Hat nich zufällig jemand Lust den Wust mal ins Deutsche zu übersetzen? Das mir zu anstrengend.

Btw. haben wir gerade heute darüber geredet, was besser ist. Mit 20 schon irre viel erlebt zu haben und sich zu fragen, was da noch kommen kann, oder mit 30 das Gefühl zu haben, noch nicht 30 sein zu können, weil die Jahre wie im Flug vergangen sind und zwar viel, aber nicht so viel passiert ist.

Uneinig. Ich war für die ruhigen 30, meine Freundin für die erlebten 20. Ehrlich gesagt lass ich das lieber auf mich zukommen. Und vieles muss man auch einfach nicht erlebt haben. Find ich.

We need to talk!
Ella, please tell us about Nr. 106.
Where the hell did you do that???

Clausthal-Zellerfeld ist wahrlich nicht der Nabel der Welt, aber die Kneipe dort würde ich dennoch als öffentlichen Ort bezeichnen.

.... b.t.w. das geht auch leiser als Meg Ryan es tat ... ;-)
