I survived last night
I was home safe at 11pm~
First today
I got up at 9:30am
I sat with my girls and told mum about my evening
I got dressed and went on my bike
then I went online
all the stuff on ebay sold!!!
I watched Lovelive Sunshine whilst I finished off the toast plushies
theyre done and photographed now
Then I went to bed
got up went for a walk with helina
she's lent me some wii dance games as im thinking of having ago
it might burn of some calories indoors
he wii isnt plugged in like mine so she wont need em back anytime soon
then I came home and had a shower and been dancing
got a few dances i wish to learn ><
Ok last night
I got all ready to go and left at 6:50pm to catch a 15min late bus >.>
When I got on the bus - one i havent taken in years
i remembered everything and how stressed i was going to college cus this was the bus i took to college my pre-driving days
no wonder i had a breakdown, i was constantly stressed! how i ever had friends i do not know
Anyway I arrived in the city which was full of late night shoppers and the german market was in full swing it was pretty all lit up
i walked down to the shop Nienke said she'd meet me at
i saw her and we walked to her apartment - i would have never found it
it was right next to the building i took my driving theory in 0.0
She took me straight to her's and Anouk's room
they were better than I had imagined and they had sooooo much stuff
seriously i have no idea how theyre gonna get it all home!
I met a few others who came to see me
then we went downstairs to the basement which was their living room + kitchen + lockers
bit of a weird set up
we set the 20 chairs in a circle and placed tables in the center
everyone started coming in and placing presents down
there was a good pile in the end
i was introduced to people as they came in but no way could i remember everyone
the dutch seemed to be the nicest people out the bunch tho
one dutch made a whole pan of hot chocolate whilst we pigged out on dutch biscuits
I remembered Neinke telling me theyve brought Cadburys's hot chocolate
which is not a bad hot chocolate so i was looking forward to it
when they were handed out i could really smell it
and it smelled quite strange
i took a sip and i got almond taste with something else
no way was this just cadburys hot chocolate
but i took several sips just to be polite
i noticed Nienke wasnt drinking hers
"how come you havent tried it Nienke?"
"it's got alcohol in it"
ahhhhh thats why it didnt taste nice. both me and Nienke dont do parties or drink
so she didnt drink hers and i put mine on the side
it wasnt the alcohol it was the taste. no way could i drink all that
found out that the dutch girl had poured a whole bottle of liqueur in the hot choc
she said "i love them together"
what she should have done was made hot choc and asked if anyone wanted liqueur in theirs.
so those few sips i had was the only drink i had all night
we started playing the present game which was strange but i got the hang of it
after round 1 you opened what gifts you managed to keep
i cant remember what i had i think it was 3 things - i did quite well
then the second round came
now you could see what the presents were things were funny
i rolled the dice and got 5 which was pick two people to swap presents
this guy who had nutella and really wanted it, i made him swap it for a my little pony figure XD
he was annoyed and people laughed
then the timer went off
what you had was what you kept
i ended up with a packet of 60 incense sticks sandlewood fragrance which i was happy with as myself and mum uses incense sticks. Lucky too as no one else there could use them due to having a smoke alarm in EVERY room.
At this point I left to catch the bus
The city was still busy even tho it was late
I txted mum to say i was on my way home
got in at 11pm
got ready for bed quick
did 5min of yoga to wind down then read in bed for a bit
and finally drifted off with help from sleeping tablets and relaxing oils
so yeah it was good experience
just going to the city center at that time of night was an accomplishment
tomorrow i plan to make some cards~
