2010 January 1 (新年快乐）

'”他极为了焦虑不安， 但是他单相思的遭人遗弃。现在他甚至想过自杀。 “
我想我必须写戏剧性的小说。' And that is how my day had ended, thinking of what I could've done better to turn the wheel over to something better. I'm still reminiscing about my december 29th and 30th which weren't that kind of a success (especially 29); but at least the 30th was cool in it's own way. Some friends of mine and I decided to have a get-together during the holidays and eat some fondue.

The problems on my side started off by being completely overrun by the fact that we were going to have this party. Even though this whole thing was my idea, I seriously wouldn't have dreamt of it actually happening. When I asked a fellow student of mine during the sem about this, she simply said, she's busy. Having heard that, the entire thing had already died in my mind. But then suddenly, during the last week of university her friend asked me when I would be free so we could all do this.

I was simply speechless. So, as we were talking, her friend decided that we should also invite another friend of ours. Which meant we would be 4 persons. In the days to come I suddenly heard that we might be 5 or even 7 people. I wasn't exactly amazed by that idea (the one reason being my fondue set not being made for so many people, the other (real reason) that I definetily didn't want to sit at one table with a particular one of those guys), but in the end, when all the additional folk said they won't come, I've become accustomed to the idea of having 7 people eating fondue. Whcich didn't matter at that point, so let's just forget about that.

So, the day before our small party we went shopping in Germany's most famous supermarket chain "Real,-" to buy everything for our grand fondue. I was supposed to meet my friends on the christmas market between 2 and 2:30PM. Well, actually I was supposed to call them when I got there. Unfortunately, my cellphone's somewhat broke right now, so I bluntly waited there, hoping they would figure to come. However, after one hour of standing in the blistening cold I came to the conclusion that without a phone call they'd never come to fetch me up.

Lucky me, some guy at the market, who visited a chinese language class for beginners in the university during sem-break, recognized me as a friend of his former teacher. And even better, his friend's stood him up. So he gladly lended me his cellphone to call one of my friends. (Yes~~~ I saved some money there. hehehe). And that's where things started to become funny.

I was, so to say, not in the most talkative mood, but rather doing the Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator". I was trying to act as normal as can be, but the guys saw through me like one would through plastic wrap. As a result, one of my fellow students decided to single herself out and go on grocery spree on her own.
So then, when everything was purchased we decided to meet the next evening at 5.

What made thing sworse is that the fondue-pot wasn't available, so we spontaneously switched to raclette, which is just as neat. Unfortunately one of us wasn't able to make it on said evening, I figure this is because of my Michael Meyers impersonation. So there were only 3 of us meeting. Sitting in this 20qm we felt that our food would've easily been enough for 7-10 people and that the raclette makes a great radiator or even iron-bending machine. Because there was so much food there, we spontaneously asked another friend of ours, who wasn't busy, to come over and share some of the food and laughter. The others really laughed a lot and we "sang" and "danced" quite a few .... artistic interpretations of Minnie Riperton's "Loving You"


But honestly speaking, I have a really bad conscience. I just completely hid myself away yesterday and even today am still thinking of wht I've done...
