The Year 2005  
This has been quite a remarkable year in my life, so I thought I'd do a review by month (though there might be the occasional boring month in between).

January
  • My despair over not finding a job was incredible, no motivation left.
  • I started to read my first ever Neil Gaiman story - American Gods which my brother gave me for Christmas before. That was the trigger for one of my biggest fandoms ;)


February
  • Wrote an e-mail job application to anym*ti*n (among thousands of other job appilcations....).
  • Received an invitation for an interview at anym*ti*n, but my despair was still there.
  • Received another invitation to do a 2-day trial at anym*ti*n... Finally some hope in sight...
  • A week after the trial days, I received a phone call... Seeing it's a Düsseldorfer Number I picked up, heart pounding in my throat, and had the job, I couldn't believe it.


March
  • Had the idea to build a blog, so my blog was born, then still at lost.chaosworks.org.
  • We started to organize my moving out of the shared apartment in Paderborn, and I really had something to look forward to ;)
  • At my parent's house we had our annual bonfire.


April
  • I booked my flight to New York in June.
  • The school thing I went to was severly boring.
  • Dead Pope. Tragic.
  • Jeannie had some teeth pulled.


May
  • Went to Bremen for a week with my mother. *yawn*. Visited my brother C there.
  • Finally moved away from Paderborn. Light in sight. Though I had to stay at my parents for the two months in between.
  • Started packing for New York.


June
  • Welcome Home! I had the time of my life with my aunt in New York and New Jersey. I wanted to stay for the rest of my life. I'll be back.
  • Homesickness in Germany.


July
  • Was desperate to find an apartment in Düsseldorf, and found one like last minute.
  • Spent the whole month bored at my parents house and enjoyed some of the summer.
  • Read Harry Potter 6. Not bad, but not brilliant either.
  • Went to Basel and Strasbourg for three days with my mother. Torture.
  • I finally moved to Düsseldorf.


August
  • Very nervous, I started my apprenticeship.
  • I survived my first week and work turned out to be very nice.


September
  • Finally got my internet line in Düsseldorf. Return of the Geek ;)
  • Had my first pub experience in the Düsseldorfer Altstadt ;)
  • Moved servers, finally had all the webspace I need ;)


October

November

December
  • Was more drunk that I ever was in my whole life on our anym*ti*n Xmas party, thanks to free drinks.... ;)
  • I merged my website and my weblog, which I wanted to do since quite a while.
  • Christmas....
