twentysevenangels asked: hi Silke. Is this interactivity something you'd recommend for using Tumblr? I don't know much about it. At the moment my theme doesn't offer comments etc. Is that something that I can add to my current theme, or would I need to find a different theme if I wanted it? cheers :) Dan
mumpo2000 asked: Holy fuzz. Why did we choose the same tumblr template? In other words, why are we so darn awesome?
(Facebook spat out a face from ages ago, said friend from the tweet below. He’s always been so nice to me, so cool to find him!)
Not that I’m not putting effort into friendships! Lifetime friendships just seem to happen. Mutual respect, love & somewhat parallel lives

Hello 2012, you baby! →
Today an aquaintance said to me, “Silke, can I hug you? When I see you, I think of home and safety!” I thought that was a lovely thing for her to think. Happy new year, everyone! I hope it’ll be a…
Too funny, people have been commenting on my “nice new” haircut - I just chopped it off myself out of necessity! Lucky it went okay!
Back to “Find-your-togs with Silke”.
I uploaded the songs I recorded for my mum’s 60th to soundcloud: http://t.co/Urp5yIEf
A really really handsome and talented man keeps putting down a) his talent and b) his looks. He actually seems to think he looks shit. :(
I covered All I Have To Do Is Dream by the Everly brothers a while ago. I think it really is a quite dark song. http://t.co/6RtHH6EZ

I am awfully jealous of spiritual people. Wish I had it in me. I have good values etc but no belief whatsoever.

I was given a small gift by someone who had no idea that I had been looking for exactly that sort of thing for ages. Cool, huh?
I’m having butterflies in my stomach about tomorrow! THAT excited!
Richard was pretty much the best boss ever, today. He even drove me home because it was raining! Work has been intense, but it’s a great job

Really tired, but also really happy. Those two aren’t connected. Just happy. Life is pretty nice sometimes.

what a good idea! you can actually vote at the ukulele festival!
Came across one of my favourite words in the phd write up of a drummer/math-biologist. Its “endoplasmatic reticulum”. Fave word for15+ years
I can be awfully productive if I can work while half lying on the desk, oh yes. Radio production at its most unattractive.
I am now a cyclist. Dear drivers, be kind to me, I’m only little. #leftsidetrafficwtf
Dear Michael Nyman, you’re fucking amazing. <3
It’s “Give Silke lovely feedback” day today, seemingly! That’s so nice! Had great pizza before, om nom!
Phew, no work in the morning! So glad! It’s a bit late. We chatted all night. Fun times and serious times. Tired now!
Freak The Sheep tonight: Coach, Knights of the DUB Table, Bannerman, @soluckless, @isaacaesili Funkommunity, the Fritts! @amplifying @95bFM

When you really want Skittles, but can’t find them. I did find a bottle of champagne and 2 cans of V, though. Need to clean my room.
Cough splutter cough cough kershoooo.
I made what may well be the nicest cake I’ve ever baked. Chocolate whiskey cake. It’s SO good!
Quoting myself here: “I’d hug a tree. They’re so barky. Like dogs. They’re barky, too.” That was somewhat in regards to Demis Roussos.
Just ate heaps of raw garlic. That’ll kick my cold in the butt.
Today on Freak The Sheep: SamRB, @nadiareid, Sinsin, Atsushi, and Beach Pigs! @95bFM @amplifying

Coughing and coughing. And herm-herming my throat, too. As long as I can speak by tomorrow and sing by Sunday, it’s all good!

I constantly ponder if i should be making music at all, and then a stranger will walk up to me and say what i do means something to them.
Gosh, being so cynical today! :D

Discussing Helge Schneider. I love Helge Schneider, he’s a bloody genius.
Lying in bed, laughing worryingly hysterically about @rustyrockets Bookie Wook. Sadly relatable in many ways, but so funnily written!
“I know exactly who you are!!! hello! I saw you at the barrier - listening (and smiling a lot!)” I read your book when I was 16. :-D Squee!
Dave Dobbyn!!!! →
I saw Dave Dobbyn! I’m so happy - I feel like slowly I am catching up on what I always felt I was missing out on when I was back in Germany! Lorraine, his manager just sent me a message: “I was…
NZ very much deserves this happiness. It was a terrible year for everyone.
(Obviously I’m for NZ winning, while at the same time, I really don’t care about rugby. Or soccer. Or… er.. netball. But go NZ!)
Seen a bit of an eye opener of a documentary, that’d explain a lot. You know how sometimes you get those eye opening moments?
Just got a really lovely compliment by someone who truely counts in regards to my work. So extremely happy!
Someone suggested that I should do comedy. I think I glared at them blankly for a while.
