Here are some verses from my favourite poet, T.S.Eliot:


<sup>"Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind."

(BURNT NORTON. No. 1 of 'Four Quartets' )

"
Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope
I no longer strive to strive towards such things
(Why should the agèd eagle stretch its wings? )
Why should I mourn
The vanished power of the usual reign?"

...

"Because these wings are no longer wings to fly
But merely vans to beat the air
The air which is now thoroughly small and dry
Smaller and dryer than the will
Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still. "

That said, I must also mention that I will upload soon some more photos from my trip to Slovenia and Austria, because I've been rather lazy this summer and now that autumn came, I'm in the mood for some photography.

And my "Merry Christmas" journal had to go. Such a greeting doesn't have its place in June.

I've submitted the best of my photos from Tarja's concert, here in Bucharest. Sometimes I give complete reports, full of details, but now I don't feel like it, and I'll just say that the concert was great, Tarja did an amazing job and her musicians as well (took a pic with Maria from keyboards as well, she's small like me!). Although the atmosphere was a bit better in Sofia, I really hope Tarja will come here soon again. Countries like Germany have up to 5 gigs per year, and I hope that romanian organizers will realise that her fanbase here is big as well.

Anyway, take a look into my gallery. Constructive criticism is always welcome, though consider the fact that my camera is not SLR, and smoke in concerts is not always beneficial for photographers.

Random thoughts:
*First time seeing Tarja kicked ass.
*It's freezing outside.
*I've been feeling artsy lately but a certain maths teacher gave a helluva homework for next week, plus I have a stupid It exam...
*I want to go to the mountains! And it's snowing there already...
*I wish people were more civilized...
*I'm feeling friendly.
*I wish to go to the opera Tosca in December.
*I wish to have more time to read.
*I want to learn how to make clothes! I mean costumes - especially Norse ones.
*Everything seems to go fine...for now.

Just these:
(warning! a lot of rambling)

- I miss civilization aka Austria & Germany.
- There's only one month left till school.
- I want to stop being a lazy arse and to start doing useful things.
- I've got a horrid writer's block and I feel that my photos are just horrible.
- On the other hand, I've read a lot of books this summer and I'm happy because of that.
- Jane Eyre should be a role model for girls these days.
- I really dislike modern literature.
- Epica ruled at Peninsula Fest, though I'm upset I didn't get an autograph. At least Simone and Mark smiled at me a few times. And I got photographed in the first row. *giggle*
- I'm going to see Tarja in Bulgaria for my birthday!
- Lately, teenage hormones have been attacking me brutally and I'm feeling childish at times. Thank heavens, no crushes or something of that sort. Just...common teenage anxiety.
- I'm coming to really believe in past lives.
- Chopin's 'Nocturne' has been giving me a hard time while trying to play it.
- Oh, and it's too hot here.

Some of my favourite verses:

"And all shall be well
And all manner of things shall be well.
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire,
And the fire and the rose are one."
- - - -T. S. Eliot "Four Quartets"

"I walked beside the evening sea
And dreamed a dream that could not be;
The waves that plunged along the shore
Said only: "Dreamer, dream no more!" "
- - - -George William Curtis

" Come away, oh human child,
To the waters and the wild,
With a faery hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you could understand"
- - - W.B. Yeats - Stolen child

"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."
- - - -Robert Frost "Fire and Ice"

Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
...
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
...
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
- - - T.S.Elliot - The love song of Alfred Prufrock


I hope my silly rambles haven't annoyed you too much. I'm rather egoistical, selfish and a rambler - I've been told. The latter, not so much though.

Anyhow, I've uploaded the majority of the decent photos I have taken in Austria & Germany. If you please, check them out.

And it's also summer, and school is almost finished.
Only my cold is clouding my happiness, but no matter, it will pass in a week or so.

Felt the need to change journals again.

I feel happy. I love this sunny weather (well, now it's partly cloudy, but never mind...) and it's warm and so on.
I've realized that I'm happier when there is such a weather...it makes me not care about my lame grades at school. Plus, I feel like going outside - somewhere, I do not care - and take photos! It's just a wonderful feeling.

And thinking of summer makes me happy too - I'll see Leaves' Eyes! Liv Kristine has a wonderful voice. And I'll wait to see what other bands will come to Artmania Fest, I can't wait! But if Nightwish comes because they are already a strong rumour...well, I guess I'll just go, buy some pizza with my friends and then come back and sit on a bench and eat and drink some beer. I have my fingers crossed for Epica - from what I've understood they are amazing live! And Epica is one of my favourite bands. I just hope that Simone will heal completely from MRSA then. It's just a pity they cancelled so many shows, but I agree that her health comes first.
Anyway, I'll enjoy my few moments of happiness till they'll vanish away.

I don't know how to start journals - I've never been good at that particular fact - so I'll start from somewhere in the middle.

I don't want school. I don't want a maths test on monday. I don't want to be sent on Tuesday to the blackboard to do a stupid physics exercise which I'll forget to do anyway after two years. I don't want to be examined on French. I don't want to receive my informatics, maths and biology tests. I really don't want to - they'll depress me. I don't want to be depressed anymore (some time I loved being depressed - don't ask me why, I just loved it). Now I'm just emerged into a feeling of dumbness and horror. I don't want to care about school anymore, I really don't, but I can't help it. It's in my nature.

The same goes with my 'social' side. I'm not social, I really am not. One may think I'm social because I have friends - but I have friends because people come to me, and I don't know what to say, just nod or listen to them and I don't know how to refuse them without hurting their feelings. I don't know what to do when people come to me anyway, it feels awkward, quite awkward.
Sometimes I feel like a statue, because I can't understand what feelings are - I can't feel love or gratitude or other ones, I just can't and it's confusing me. I don't know what I feel towards a friend normally - but I do know that when a friend is awfully sad, I try to comfort him/her in my own (which means either leaving the person alone, depending on which one or go to the person, say clumsily a few words of consolation and so...). I don't know how to comfort people, I'm awkward at it, rather clumsy (I think I resemble my grandfather here).
Only sometimes, rarely I feel the need to talk to a friend, and that's when I understand that someone is my friend and not anybody who comes to talk to me, because I can trust him/her and confide into that someone or just enjoy caring about other things rather than my own worries. But I don't get these feelings often, because I enjoy solitude - I enjoy thinking, dreaming, being in my own thoughts, pondering and wondering, fantasying about poetry, photography, drawing or my future or a dream world. Or just simply thinking.

Passing over the social side - is it wrong if I'm simply not attracted to either sex? I'm a teenager and they say at this age you have crushes and so on. But I don't have and I've never had. (Nor that I intend to, mind you). I've never understood what's the big deal about it anyway...it's not the most important thing on earth - there are lots of other important matters like finishing my education, enjoying my young years till I can, being with friends and so on. For example, I like some actors and some thought I was attracted to a particular actor - which I was not! I thought he was just handsome or charming, but I cared much more about his acting abilities than his look (and now, I am not talking about Johnny Depp).

And well, throw as many tomatoes as you want in me, but I think crushes are rather silly. Or having a boyfriend during your teenage years. It's just me, I've found that silly - the immaturity, the only want to experience or just the physical attraction. It's not love, it's a drop of caring and a drop of physical attraction - in my honest opinion. Perhaps I'll understand it later, perhaps never, but it's just me.

My rant is finished now. I'll go play some piano because I'm in the mood for it.

Johnny Depp was pretty good as Sweeney and his voice was great. But I found that his character was not really complex and intriguing. On the other side, there was Mrs. Lovett played by the wonderful Helena Bonham Carter (which I didn't really like until I've seen her as loopy Bellatrix in Harry Potter). She seemed to give life to her character, she was brilliant! The mimics, the gestures, the face expressions...all ace. I loved a particular scene in the film - the one with her daydreaming - it was funny. And this character was much more complex than Sweeney in my opinion. And by all these reasons, that's why I really felt sorry for her when Sweeney threw her in the oven. Such a terrible and agonizing death. I shuddered at that scene. And I still am sad that she died.

Oh, and another reason why I loved this film so much is that both main characters died. Hehe.

So, until winter comes (but i don't mind a thin blanket of snow either) i'm planning to make a portofolio of photos entitled "Buildings in Bucharest" . But now i have some big tests and don't have so much time to wander on the streets. So, hopefully I'll go and take "a walk" next week.
Stay tuned!
