being a secretary at least

wow.
wednesday I somehow managed to stay awake and hang out until two or so, until i started finally packing my stuff to head to Hannover the next morning.
when i got to blake's place it was three and I think in the end I onlys slept two or three hours. FUCK! at half past eight arrival at Hannover. The members of the World Wisdom Council arrived half an hour later than expected. Wolfgang, the coordinator of the meeting even didn't say hello. but Ashok Gangadeen hugged me and obviously remembered me from last time.
Oh, what the WWC is? well, just click on the link (the title links you to the site) and read for yourself I am tired of explaining too much. it s just about how I was a secretary at last. I mean, here in this blog.

Hm... maybe this isn;t even so good, because it gives the impression that I am egocentric and only interested in spreading the word how incredibly fast I can typewrite (which certainly is a very very important quality) (if you want to get to knwo me now, drop me a note :-) and things like that. hm. well, you know, the world wisdom council. hm shit. well let me first tell you quickly what i actually did!

I wanted to attend the meeting as an observer but Wolfgang made me be the minutes taker, so i did the protocoll. Oh, and let me assure you, this is a great job! you actually HAVE to listen (this is NOTHING compared to lectures where you are merely forced to try not to fall asleep! I actually didn't snooze away once after only having slept two hours the night before!!!!) and paraphrase in your mind what they say and type it in the same time. I think its prette similar to simultaneous translation.
Oh, but the following night I only slept five hours, as I had to make my notes comprehensible and the next day was pretty exhausting. But it s been great to be part of this group and they actually paid all food haha, so that was good too. The second evening there was a public panel discussion at the World Church Day with Wangari Maathai, Mary Robinso, Ernst Ullrich v. Weizsaecker, Ashok Gangadeen, Audrey Kitagawa (she is my INSPIRATION!!!!), Herbert Groenemeyer (who was gorgeous and very impressive in what he said in such a simple and touching way!) and Ervin Laszlo (founder of the Club of Budapest http://www.cobusa.org/ )
It was very impressive all in all and very damn inspiring. I talked to Mary Robinso and told her about my plans and she was very encouraging, in fact she is the first person I met who said directly in these words "you won't regret it!'

man....thats exciting. Antoschka, the clown woman from Sibiria had a fascinating preformance and when Wangari Maathai held her speech about the environmental and spiritual destruction in Kenia I actually had to fight with my tears already.

Oh, of course, I blame it all to PMS, but in fact I was very touched. Also when Audrey Kittagawa talked about the children victimized by armed conflicts I couldn't help it. Maybe I was just too exhausted and tired to hold tears back. In moments like this I know what I wanna do in my life honestly, it becomes very clear to me and that is actually very great.

Oh, and I met such a wonder wonderful woman, with who I actually fell in love head over heels! She is from Nigeria, the daughter of the guy who was in fact elected as president but then put into prison where he 'died'. Her mother took over his work but 'died' too. She has like 17 siblings and is very very very very very beautiful. I can't help but BEING ATTRACTED to the afro-type. She is very tall and slim and a beautiful face and smile. she is very initiative and engaged in a project called 'kind' women leader ship development in Nigeria.

I honestly don't know how I deserve actually meeting these fascinating persons, but it is very inspiring and very encouraging. and good for networking, too, sure. I am very curious how things will work out for me.
me! me! me! how egocentric that sounds. haha. after having typed so many times that the eogcentric way of thinking is seen and understood to be the root of all evil in this world it does not surprize that i am worried about this now haha.

yeah. so i stayed at a hospitality guys house (www.hospitalityclub.org) and he was so uncomplicated and laid back, really cool. in fact Juli and I just went to his place at nights and he was ok with that. Juli left today in the morning as she had to be back to Basel to work and I slept very long.

oh and then i got the worst cramps every in my whole life! oh god, women are really bad off with respect to that. i actually had to throw up and it was so disgusting because i hadn't eaten for a long time so there was nothing to throw up, how disgusting. waaah. and i was white like a fuckin cheese and shivered all over the body, near to collapsing. Lars, the hospitalityguy was very worried, of course, I am so embarassed he had to see me like this. he actually ran to the next drugstore then to get me some painkillers which saved my afternoon.
we had a really good talk and he was so cute being excited about Q'Orianka playing along side with Colin Farrell. And then when he heard me on the guitar he was so extremely encouraging and told me to send him a song otherwise he would come and get one.lol. thats great. recently i have been commented very positively on my guitar playing (and voice too, who would have thought that) and all signs seem to point towards me being obliged to give a concert at last in july. christoph is pushing me and Lars said he would come straight away to hear me. ain't that totally cute. so there ARE people who like my music. gotta think about that.
but now i go to bed

enough blabla for today
