Friday Five on Sunday Night

Didn’t have time to do the Friday Five yet. So I’ll do a Sunday night five now:

1. What makes you homesick? Hmm. Mostly being away from the people I love. Also thinking of our (well not “our” for much longer) house in VA (the house my dad lived in when he still worked there. We used to visit him there at least once a year). I loved that house. Still do. I would’ve loved to spend all my summers there for the rest of my life.

2. Where is “home” for you? Is it where you are living now, or somewhere else (ie: Mom & Dad’s house, particular state/city)? “Home home” for me is the house I grew up in. The house I’m sitting in while writing this entry. I call the place I live in in Berlin home, too, but I’m not very emotionally attatched to the place itself. More to the things I keep there. And then there’s my “home away from home”, the aforementioned house in VA. Which will always be a second home to me even if other people live there.

3. What makes it home for you? People? Things? Both. People are more important. But I am quite attatched to the things I own. Mostly because a lot of them bear so many memories.

4. Where is the furthest you’ve been from home, miles-wise? Uhm. What is the distance between Germany and the US West Coast? I’ll see if I can find that out, just a sec… OK, apparently it’s around 5800 miles. I intend to increase that distance to “the other side of the planet” very soon though :)

5. What are your plans for this weekend? Drive home, celebrate my brother’s and my birthdays with the family, kick AOL off my brother’s computer by formatting his harddrive and then installing Win2k on his system all day long. That’s what Michi and me did today. Took quite some time because there were some, er, complications (all my fault, I admit it). Also downloading security patches for Windows and IE takes a loooong time with an ISDN dial-up connection. Where’s my DSL when I need it? I’ll tell you what I’ll do on Monday too cause that still belongs to the weekend for me as I’m not working. I’ll try to decide on new glasses (wish me luck), spend some money on clothes, maybe shoes and maybe even MGS2 (which is finally out here since last Friday). Then drive back to Berlin.
