Staying alive

Happy Chinese New year. My roommate is very exhilarated cause his last name is Ox.=) Since my last post it has been crappy in my life. Talking about karma, karma is a very nasty lady. Two weeks ago I had a sleep over at Michelle's but that didn't go the way we've planned it. I staid at her place for a week. Well, her window got damaged three times. Someone on this planet must be very bored.-__- Michelle's neighbour, we misinterpreted her name Rita Eenedieva (which we Dutch would read like, some kind of diva), got injured so I practiced first aid on her. The next day I was covered in glass. Great.-__- Don't worry, I'm fine. Just have been a bit confused for 10 days. Must have been a sign from the big dude to put my ducks on a row. Well one ducky isn't that tidy, so I did some decluttering. I threw away a bag of damaged clothes. I'm going to donate another bag of clothes and I did a lot of laundry. I'm preparing myself for my potential job at the the thrift store of the new Salvation army building (I signed myself in. I'm not persuing a job but who knows, maybe they will need me).:D

The plumber came by to check the central heater. It was about time he came by cause the walls next to the window has mold.o_0 So the problem is, the pipe next to the expansion tank oxidated so it's leaking and the switch on the heater in my room got stuck. He couldn't fix it so he called the office to tell the problem so they can search for a mechanic to fix it for me. So what else can I say? *Immer schön fröchlich sein, immer schön fröchlich sein.*

Last sunday I celebrated new year's eve with friends. My plan was to cook vegetarian cause my colleague from the island J was coming over. I bought a lot of tofu (In my opinion fish is not vegetarian so I didn't have a lot of choice) and tried to make vegetarian spring roles. After frying the tofu was still way too wet and the rice noodles were over done. J is a bit sensivtive so she can't watch horror movies. The guys were teasing her with 'Pitch black'.-__- She almost started to cry so the guys felt a bit sorry and my neigbhour wanted to put on a happy animation. She didn't like animation so she asked for a romantic movie. I'm kind of sick of Amelie right now, seen it so many times so Reinder and I declined. We watched Donnie Darko. J's reaction at the end. I'm feeling depressed now.-__- After the movie we talked a bit till 3.30 a.m. J was too scared to cycle home. I suggested that one of the guys would chaperone her but eventually she slept at my neighbour's house. The next day she came by to ask if I wanted to have breakfast with her, I was like what the ...? I'm still asleep and my neighbour was also not in a talking mood. So she went home and tonight she's going to make dinner for me. Vegetarian of course. It's kind of a private farewell party, she's going to move out of town for a new job. I will miss her.:(
