Flying Sparks

I'm not gonna say too much about this Portuguese guy at the moment, who knows who might read it :P Let's just say that.. Portuguese guys are interesting.. simply interesting ^^ You gotta tell me about that girl in private - and I'm gonna tell you about the guy, maybe you can help me, as you're a Portuguese guy as well ;) Do you have msn or something? How can you hate SNOW? Are you crazy? My friend told me, too, that there's only one mountain that has snow.. What a pity!

pasta :D Which photos stand on your shelfs? (if there are any)

I agree, I would have chosen Sam's Town (I get boosebumps whenever the album starts and goes off with this song.. amazing!), or "My List".. Gooorgeous song :D

Miguel, I guess you didn't see my post as it's on the previous page and I had another one on this one - so read it :D http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1849096&postcount=30

Aaah wir sind beide in der Maturaklasse, na dann heißt's ja gegenseitig Daumen drücken :D Wir schaffen das schon! Unser Ball ist erst im Mai, sehr praktisch :P Hast du denn einen Begleiter? Irgendwie ist es bei uns fast unmöglich, ohne Partner aufzutauchen.. Entweder man kommt mit Begleitung, oder man betrinkt sich aus Frust, lol Wieso geht's bei dir denn früh los? Morgen ist Nationalfeiertag, da ist doch freiii :D Gute Nacht :D

Ach, mir geht's soweit ganz gut.. Bin jetzt im Maturajahr, ist recht stressig! In welcher Klasse bist du jetzt? Auch schon in der letzten? Und wie geht's dir so?

Oh yeah, he was worried about me.. He was the one who made me feel dizzy.. He used to worry about me, and now I don't matter to him anymore.. sigh.. you Portuguese can make me crazy :P Ooh coming home for Christmas is always nice :D But you don't have any snow in Portugal, at least in most regions, do you? The hotel/restaurant looks beautiful, I might check in one day :D

I forgot my wonderful friend in Portugal.. She has become a part of my family, at least that's how I consider her.. I don't know where I'd be if I wouldn't have met her 1 1/2 years ago..

Halloooo :D Dachte schon dass es nur eine Frage der Zeit ist, bis unsere liebe Julia hier auftaucht =) Wir sind hier ja sowieso in der Minderheit.. Kenn nur dich und Alex (Alex22) als Österreicher hier!

Oh yeah, I remember Francesinha :D My friend couldn't explain to me either why it's called like that.. But when we met this guy I mentioned earlier (:D), he said to my friend "Wtf? Are you crazy? Why the hell did you feed her with that fat, unhealthy shit?" :P How come you don't go home to Portugal in beautiful, sunny Portugal? Shame on you! I'll definitely be there again in August.. At least I hope so :D I'm gonna check out that music festival you talked about! Where exactly in Switzerland do you live? French or German part?

Ah, you still can - it might have been just the combination of all the food, you know.. First eating THIS (what's its name again?), then eating pasta, then drinking Caipirinhas (harr) and.. feeling a bit dizzy because of a guy as well :P So.. it all came together and just didn't work out ^^

Just found the video exclusive for their new song, Bones.. I would have chosen a different song to release next, but well.. The video is very creepy :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZmtsuQpnw4

YES, that's the food.. The food that made me throw up and destroyed a whole day for me :P I ate it on my first day in Porto, and my second day in Porto was totally messed up because my stomache was mad at me because of eating THIS :P

Lol I didn't mean wearing a lot of black either! I meant covering a lot of skin - and I guess that just comes along with becoming a mother. I guess now that she's settled down, she doesn't feel the need to dress up all sexy and glamourous!

Wow, it's VERY cool that Coldplay first appeared at a festival in Porto :D I originally planned to visit Coimbra, but cancelled in the end because I didn't have enough time.. I'm gonna go there next summer for sure :D I remember Braga and I've been to Porto, but I don't know the other two cities - gonna check them out! Why did you move to Switzerland, by the way? How long have you been living in Portugal before moving away? And YES, I tried Portuguese food - as I was living with a Portuguese family, I basically ate it every day. But once, I went to a Portuguese "restaurant", rather a fast food restaurant, in Porto which served a type of food I've never seen before - I've never seen that much FAT on one plate :P It was some sort of toast, with sausage, meat and other stuff inside a toast bread, and some strange sauce all around.. On the same day, I ate pasta in the evening and during the night, my stomache was going round and round and I threw up the next morning :P

Alright, nice to meet you, Lili :D I'm really glad that I didn't only visit Lisbon like most tourists do - and Lisbon was, to be honest, the least beautiful city of all three of them, to be honest ^^ Of course it's beautiful, but I LOVED the charm of small town Aveiro and the beautiful river of Porto, so.. simply this typical Portuguese charm :) I'll definitely visit Coimbra next time I'm in Portugal! Any other cities you recommend? :D So, you live directly in Lisbon? How's living there? Do you live close to Downtown or somewhere at the edge of the city?

I looove such winter caps, too :D She's such a cutie!

Finally a new picture of Apple :D Gwyneth Paltrow is currently in New York City with Moses and Apple to present an award on Thursday and attend the screening of "Babel" last night (pictures in the Gwyneth thread). This photo has been taken on Monday morning, credit by People Magazine:

Thanks a lot for posting, Ian, that's very interesting, gonna watch the video now :)

Thanks a lot for posting these :D I don't think she dresses too conservative.. I have the feeling that her style is just a bit more casual and simple since she became a mother :)

Music.. of course I love my family, and I can't imagine my life without them, but I consider music as the most important part of my life I guess when I have a bad time, my family can't help me getting through it.. and they don't even try.. it's music that helps me

I think Speed of Sound would be the easiest, I guess.. with not too many high notes and not too fast lines and all! I once found this super-cool site where you can sing karaoke at home - it also features Clocks :D It's fun to do when you're alone at home, sitting in front of the computer and singing your heart out, you should try it (it has lots of other cool songs as well): http://www.club2.wohnzimmer.com/karaoke.html

LOL :P One way ticket to hell and back

Oh I'm sure you must be cute in some way, us Austrian girls aren't too easy to get, are we? :P I guess that you don't have to be super-good-looking and mega-cute, but you seem like a nice, down to earth guy, so that's enough for being considered as "cute".. I met lots of Portuguese guys in summer .. yum yum :P

My real name is Angelika, nice to meet you :) What's your name? Lili? However, I visited Lisbon, Aveiro and Porto. I originally planned to visit Coimbra as well, but I didn't do so after all. I was in Aveiro most of the time because my friend lives there, but I slept over in Porto, where I met this second friend, and in Lisbon in a youth hostel. I actually gotta say that Lisbon reminded me a lot of my city, Vienna, because of the Old City downtown, it looks quite similar =) And I absolutely loved Porto, what a beautiful city - the port, the bridges, the parks, gorgeous :D Where in Portugal do you live, by the way?
