Veee Veee Vaaamm – Let me tell you who I ammm

“Sir," she said, “You are no gentleman!"

“An apt observation," he answered airily. “And, you, Miss, are no lady.”  

Gone with the wind… A heart-stabbing, dramatic, passionate, classic movie. For my taste a little too long. After watching the first few hours of it, I was gone with the melatonin. For my parents on the other hand it was a highly inspirational movie since they named me after Scarlett O’Hara’s actress. Vivien Leigh. Cross the Leigh and you have got my name.

So who am I? Let me take you on a trip through Vivi-Town on March the twelfth.

The first thing I can tell you is that I can be a pain in the butt. Not only am I immensely gifted in the art of annoying people, but am I also very talented in driving myself crazy. Usually when I have one of those days when my thoughts go crazy, wild, yes MAD and start running an Olympia marathon through my head, I turn to one of my two saviors. Books and music.

Books. I love, love, looouuuf reading. The smell of the pages and the world I step into when I start reading… A warm feeling of relaxation starts spreading through my body. YES, that is what I call heaven on earth. Thoughts and worries about school, work, crazy neighbors, all just beam out of my head and right into the I-do-not-even-care-universe. The only worry I am left with is why Gatsby is still putting up with this superficial Daisy-girl?

Music. Dear IPod, please, never leave me. Music teleports me into a bubble of daydreams. It serves as my constant companion while walking outside, or laying in my bed with my eyes closed. It is just magical how it makes me feel more alive, but then also so calm and peaceful at the same time. The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Bob Marley and so on and so forth. LEGENDDSS!
