What about English? Einstellungen

[Bilana]

Well, on the old board I realised, that I was complaining about a dying thread in exactly this thread, which I thought would have died.
A little thread in English is definitely required in the kitchen as well. So someone has to start it...me...
But what talking about? All real topics are already covered with the other boards.

One topic was Björk, wasn’t it? Has someone already listened to her new album? How is it?

A couple of days ago I watched some Videos with ST Voyager episodes, which I haven’t seen yet. It was in English and I thought wow. What about Captain Janeway/ Kate Mulgrew? What a voice! And how she can modulate it (and manipulate other people with it)! Gorgeous! I never realised what a talented actor she is.
Has onyone else seen Voyager in the original version? The synchronised version is really lacking.

Bye bilana

Hello millicent,

Brighton sounds like a wonderful place to live.. :)
(I haven't been there for ages, must have been more than .... 20 yrs ago? :wacko: With my parents?)

I have only been out (to myself and within a few weeks to my friends and family) for about 1 1/2 yrs now. It did come as a big surprise, luckily I had made the decision to leave a small, catholic town in Baden-Württemberg and move to Berlin years ago.
Live is a LOT different here - I suppose there it was not so very different from living in a Bavarian village..
I really cannot imagine to live there anymore..

Since I was married with children at the time of my CO there also aren't too many experiences with going out on the scene.. But you might be right concerning the fact that it IS rather "separatist". But then again, maybe I purposely picked the places with "women only" - I don't quite remember.
(I WAS feeling a little strange in the beginning.. :rolleyes: So I was glad there were only women. :huh: )
Actually last year, my first year of "being out", was the first year I did NOT go to any CSD.. But here in Berlin I remember it to be more like a big parade rather than a demonstration? (I have to admit I left Munich at the day of the CSD last year.. Which did not really have to do with the CSD at that point! ;) )

But as I wrote before, I am very glad people are rather relaxed here, I was able to talk to the teachers of my sons and there haven't been any difficulties at that point.

A little over a year ago now I fell in love with my girlfriend, another reason I don't go out on the scene as well..
She lives at the other end of Germany, more or less, and we spend a lot of time getting back and fourth.. The rare times we are able to spend together we do enjoy so much more to just be able to be "together".
And between her and my children and all the other little things one has to deal with in everyday life there is just not much room left for "being on the scene". Besides I love spending time with my friends, more like having a nice breakfast or cooking dinner together.

Quite a few things I probably just don't know so far, for instance how "serious" all the things about butch/femme/ drag king are?

As I said, it hasn't been that long, but I am learning! -_-

Yes, you are right, gay "marriage" has been legal for a while now. But if you look around a little you will find some threads here concerning this so-called "Verpartnerung". Unfortunately rights in gay marriage still differ from rights for hetero-couples, therefore there is not too much enthusiasm (yet?).
I have no idea about divorces?
How about in the UK? will it be comparable to the marriage of hetero-couples?

Oops, I've got to go...
Have a wonderful day! :)
