Welcome to Twilight Visions
Me, myself...and I

Hello and welcome to my private website Twilight-Visions [dot] Net. As the subtitle might already tell you, this website is about 'me, myself...and I' (yes I'm being really self-obsessed here^^), that is Ana Nives Law and the things I'm interested in.
Nevertheless, a website solely about me might be slightly boring for other people, so there has to be something in it for you as well, right? And of course, there is loads of (hopefully) interesting stuff for you to take away.
Just take a look around and maybe you even leave a short comment for me...I'd like that ;)

Ana

Note: This website is not in anyway related to the Twilight Series.

Random Musings
of a curious mind...

In I'll be rocking Wembley Stadium to the sound of the almighty MUSE!!

Layout for you, ticket for me :)

Hello there!! I was thinking it’s time for an update…and her it is: A new layout!! Two layouts in one month, when was the last time that happened on TV, huh? ;)
Well, it’s certainly not one of my favourites, but oh well…I cannot always produce a masterpiece, right? ;P
Hm…other than that I have nothing really interesting to say. I started tutoring again…and it’s still the same pain in the a**. It’s just so annoying when you’re trying to teach people English who don’t really give a shit…but hopfully I won’t have to do it much longer.

Oh, almost forgot!! There is something more interesting…at least for me ;) After two months of waiting my MUSE tickets for Wembley finally arrived today!!
I just love looking at them *lol* Well, not much longer and I’ll be there!!

Well, with that I’ll leave you until the next time :)

Thirty Seconds to WTF!!

Posted on August 23, 2010 by Ana Nives

Reporting back from Frequency Festival:
OMFG it was…great…unbelievable…awesome…just fucking amazing!!! The weather, the people, THE BANDS!!! Everything was just perfect! And I got to stand second row :D Mission almost accomplished! It wasn’t front row, but second row is almost the same :P Especially, since I only went to the stage at around 4 pm when there already were quite a few people there, but I still somehow ended up at the front :D
Well, at first it was just the waiting part, the bands weren’t too bad, but not exactly my favourites…and annoyingly loud. I really should’ve taken “Ohropax” with me. But I made friends with some really nice people while waiting :)
And then at 7.50 pm Thirty Seconds to Mars finally came on stage…they were really great!! Their whole show and how they got the audience going!! It was crazy and it literally took me only 30 seconds (well, maybe even less) to think “WTF, how crazy is this” ;) After their show I looked like I had taken a shower I was sweating so much from all the jumping and dancing…well, everyone was, which makes it really disgusting but I guess no one really cared at that moment *lol*
I (and I think everyone else) was just a little disappointed that they had to cut short on The Kill because they didn’t have time anymore :( But nevertheless a really great concert which I won’t forget :) Plus, they played Attack, which is one of my favourites, so thank you Thirty Seconds to Mars :D
After them came Billy Talent who where also brilliant. Sometimes they seemed a bit off and I think towards the end Ben had troubles with his voice (no surprise, singing like that can’t be healty for your voice), but nevertheless I think they were great, at least I really enjoyed it!! But the difference to 30STM was that while during 30STM you were able dance and jump and do things, there was no way you could even move during Billy Talent. It was so packed I couldn’t even reach into my bag to get my camera out…
Well, after they were done I wanted to get out, I just needed to sit down somewhere because during Billy Talent I already got cramps in my legs…which wasn’t very pleasent. So after the security managed to pull me out of the crowd I got something do drink and sat down for a while…and then finally went back to find my friends again. We then only watched half of Die Toten Hosen and then went back to the caravan park, because I was totally done for. Nevertheless, I couldn’t sleep all night which means I was up until the next morning when my train arrived at 9.30 am. :o  On the train I got at least some sleep and arrived at 3.15 pm at the train station in Klagenfurt.
Those were two long and exausting days….and you won’t believe how much my calves hurt today there where I had the cramps (I had them all through the nigth), I can hardly stretch them, and that’s just because I was standing there all the time trying not to get pushed away…but it was totally worth it, I would do it again anytime. :D
And I got a new t-shirt as you can see :) I didn’t plan on buying any t-shirts, but when I was walking to the stage I saw this and I just couldn resist ;) I just think it would even look better if there was the triad on it, too…but oh well, I still love it ;P

Frequency, here I come!

Posted on August 20, 2010 by Ana Nives

Time for another update. I uploaded six new icons. Nothing too fancy. And here they are:


Yes, it’s Mr Leto again :D Hope you like them and maybe even use them.

Well, tomorrow morning I’m off to Frequency Festival. I’m taking the train and I should arrive in St.Pölten at around 1pm. Then a quick drive to the festival area, pick up my wristband, finding my friends and then off to the Race Stage trying to get a spot right at the front. (Which shouldn’t be too difficult at that time, I guess)
I’m so looking forward to it, I’m sure it’s going to be great…I just love concerts, I would like to describe what going to a concert means to me, but I don’t have the time for it now. But I will include a short text which I once came across coincidentally on this tumblr account. And I think it describes spot on what I feel, I could have written it myself:

Have you ever noticed that when youre at a show, you literally forget everything? While you’re there, nothing fucking matters in the world except for you, the band, and the people with you, and sometimes not even them. It’s like therapy for broken souls and broken hearts, broken people. Hearing the songs live is so much different from hearing them through your speakers. You can see the emotion on the singers face, feel the drum beats and basslines thundering through your body. The entire room moves, sometimes as one and sometimes as hundreds of different people. It’s an escape from reality, because sometimes reality sucks so much that the only place to get away from it is to go to a dark room with hundreds of other people that you don’t think you know. But really, who you probably have a lot more in common with than you think. So you sit through the first few bands. Maybe you know them, maybe you don’t. But then it’s time for the headliner, and you can feel the anticipation teeming in the room. Your heart beats faster, you can just feel it coming. It’s like the calm before the storm, because when the band walks onto the stage, you can just lose it. And headlining bands almost always have an epic way of walking onto the stage. Sometimes its the drummer first, drumming beats that hit straight to your core, and other times, they file out one by one, to increasing screams from the crowd. But when that first note is sung from the first song they play, everything slips your mind. It’s just you, the band, and everyone there with you, there for the same reason – release. A release from stress. From worry. From pain. From crying. From all that shit in your life, you escape from it. You scream the words at the top of your lungs like it’s all you’ve got left to hold onto. It’s the best feeling in the world, especially if it’s something you desperately need.

You set my soul alight

Posted on August 19, 2010 by Ana Nives

I just have to blog something now….just got to listen to MUSE over the phone…I know I know, it’s not at all like a first-hand, close up, live experience, but it still was PURE AWESOMENESS!!
I had just gotten out of the car when my phone rang, and I new it would be someone who’s at Frequency. So I dropped everything and picked up the phone…and there I heard it…Uprisingat full blast :D Thank god it was dark outside, because I put my phone on loudspeakers and actually started dancing around in our yard *lol* If someone had seen me he probably would’ve called the police^^ And right after Uprising came Supermassive Black Hole….aaaah how much I would give to be right there…
Yeah, I know I’ll see them soon anyway, but still…it was so weird this morning when I turned on the radio. They were talking about Frequency and then tonight’s headliners (Muse) and what an amazing show they are planning…..And then it hit me: MUSE is performing tonight in Austria. It somehow was like I heard it for the first time (although I’ve known it for months). It actually never mattered that much that I couldn’t go today, but this morning all of a sudden I wanted to go so badly! I was like a child that wants something but is not allowed to have it *lol* I know it’s really ridiculous, especially since I’ll see them anyway at Wembley (to which Frequency could never reach up to), but it still would’ve been nice to see them tonight…well, at least I got to hear them :D
And I’m sure that Saturday with 30 Seconds to Mars and Billy Talent will make up for today too :)

Now I’ll just go and wait for them to call me again…preferably during Plug in Baby, New Born, Hysteria or Cave(if they play it, which I doubt). Well, they could call me during every song, I wouldn’t mind ;P

We no speak americano!

Posted on August 17, 2010 by Ana Nives

First things first. I added some photos from my trip to Washington D.C. to the gallery. Personally, I don’t think they’re as beautiful as my previous photos, but still I hope you like them :)

I’ve been really good today, because I was working on the text for my English-German Translation Seminar Paper… and you have no idea how time consuming that is :o
I only finished the first page of the story and it took me all afternoon :cry: It’s not like the text is too difficult, not at all, I have no problems understanding it, but understanding it and translating it into a  proper German sentence are two very different things…Sometimes I seriously doubt that German actually is my first language. It’s weird how you can get so much into English that after reading through it you are just not able to construct a grammatically correct German sentence anymore. Thank God I’m not the only one who feels like that *lol* Apparently, all my fellow students feel the same :D
Kind of sad though, while our English might be at a good level, we’re still not perfect and making probably still too many mistakes…and now we’re starting to fail in German too, so we aren’t really good at any language *lol* how depressing… ;)
No, well it’s not that bad, I eventually manage to get my grammar rules sorted, it just slows it down a little because I have to think over everything twice. Oh and choosing the right vocabulary is a pain in the a** I mean, you have several possibilities to choose from and you have to decide which one would fit best into the story…well, not difficult, unless you have a decision-making problem like me :?
Now it looks like I’m not enjoying this at all, when truth is, I actually really like translating. It’s after all why I started studying English. But as always I have to nag about it, otherwise I wouldn’t be myself ;)

I also heard some good news today, or maybe they will turn into good news eventually. They tested the noise level at the stadium, which means if it went well, they might get the legal permission to host concerts there…and I’m definitely in favour of that :D
There have been many arguments and discussions about this stadium because of the circumstances under which it had been built. I totally understand that, because they certainly handled things wrong, but I just don’t see the point in building it back after it’s already there. They should just get off their lazy a**** and find a good solution to maintain it.
And the residents in this area should also stop complaining and shut up about it being unbearably loud during events because it just isn’t true…I should know since I live there. They are just slowing down the process… well, maybe they come to a conclusion soon.
Silly having such a stadium and only using it for football games once in a blue moon….I say: LET THERE BE ROCK!! ;)
