Right, well its been almost two weeks since my maiden post. I'm still here in Germany having the time of my life, currently I'm in bed writting this blog listening to Pendulum, does it get much better than this? Probably. In fact, almost certainly. Hmm. Well anyways, that isn't the point, I'm having a great time, it is even snowy! Or, as I like to think of it, one big puddle waiting to happen.
This week has been fun, there has been Enchillada, Brauhaus, Kult and Christmas Market times spent with wonderful friends! Oh how we've laughed. Things are starting to wind down for christmas now, people heading off to all corners of the globe to be reunited with loved ones. (and those few odd relatives you only see once a year, who you don't really like and that you're pretty sure don't like you)
There's something i've been thinking about lately which is kind of incredible when you think about it. Four months ago I didn't even have the slightest, tiniest little clue about these people, who I would now count as some of the closest and dearest friends I've ever had the very good fortune to meet, but up until then we had been living in different parts of the country, different countries or even on different continents, and now we're all indespensible parts of one of what I'm sure will be the most memorable years of each other's lives. Yet here we are, for whatever reasons, we've all wound up studying at the exact same university at the same time. Not much when put like that I know, but when you consider the fact that almost all the decisions we've made throughout our whole lives have brought us together. What if we'd decided to go to a different university? took a different course? Chose not to go to university at all? Failed entrance exams ect ect? In essence our newly forged friendships have come about due to a simple tick of a box.
Well that was all a bit heavy but its just something that has me amazed! So anyways, I CANNOT WAIT for it all to kick off again in 2010!!!!
Wow 2010, sounds so futuristic doesn't it? I was starting high school in september of 2000, that should not be a whole decade ago, thats horrifying! I'M SO OLD! My bones feel like they're starting to crumble away into dusty remnants of what was my once young self. . . . well maybe I'm not that old yet, but christ on a bike ten years since I started high school, that definately firmly places me in the adult years, laaaaaaaame! Next stop desk job, perhaps find a wife, potentially have some children, stew for 40 years and die.
Yup one way ticket to death.
Although I do plan to do something that will make me immortal, not in a pysical sense but the idea of snotty nosed kids having to learn about me in school for millenia to come. I don't know what yet but I'm working on it, trust me!!!!
So anyways, that's about all I can think of for now and the next blog shall be written from the UK aaaaah kind of excited. Love you all and take care, and do take time to consider what the people whom you are yet to meet are up to right now, you never know they could just change your life!

So, anyways
Wow a blog who'd a thunk it, eh? I like everyone else it seems, use twitter. (@tomwilliams88 Just so you know) but then it struck me, why bother with micro-blogging? Sometimes bigger REALLY IS better! For example, oh I don't know, just off the top of my head, pizza, or salaries, or rainbows or beds. Mmm yes, bigger is often better. So from micro-blogging to full on blogging, that's right from now on I'm stepping it up a gear.
Right now I'm wholly aware that I'm probably not talking to anyone, just myself and my laptop. It's 03:11 right now, I can hear the rain gently patter against the window of my small, but perfectly formed "einzelapartment" here in Würzburg Germany. Life is unquestionably good. I'm single, 21, living in a foreign country meeting new people experiencing new things and quite simply having the time of my life. I'll just give you all a break to get over your jealousy before I go on.
Right well that seems sufficient. I wonder how people can become minor celebrities through things like this. Do you think they just start off in some little starbucks in L.A. bitching about the other customers over their soy milk de-caff mochafrappalattes? Hmm there isn't even a Starbucks in this city, which honestly I think is something they should put on the signs as you come into town: Herzlich Willkommen in Würzburg, Gibt's hier noch kein Starbucks. Either as a warning or as a boast, depending on your view point, although I won't be disclosing mine here.
So anyways, there isn't a Starbucks here and it certainly isn't L.A. so I think I can say with a certain degree of well, erm, certainty that this blog won't be the catalyst that sends me soaring to new and previously unimaginable levels of celebrity. Which is nice, I'm kind of comfy here in my little single bed snuggled under the covers listening to the rain hit my window, completely and blissfully annonymous.
Make of it what you will, whoever you are, but there is a lot to say for not sticking out in a crowd. Much happiness can be found sat in the corner of a busy cafe reading a paper, or pretending to read as the case may be, and just covertly taking in the comings and goings around you. Spare a thought for the poor old Chameleon though, he's famous for blending in, which surely defeats the whole purpose, right? I wouldn't want to be him, that's all I'm saying.
So what can one take from the last couple of minutes they have spent reading my blog?
1. Bigger is sometimes better
2. Blending in is good
and
3. Chameleons have it tough!
