the little matchstick girl


well.. ..the day seemed to be going so well....


spent most of the afternoon chatting online to one of the guys i met in the bar on sunday night, who is a friend of Ollies.

then spent a couple of hours sitting by the alster drinking beer and watching the sunset. (see pic above) ollies mum came down for a beer with us.. she speaks nly german, so it was a good test. shes so sweet.. and talks slower to me as she knows my german isnt so good... i think it usually takes 2 weeks before my german ears click in. then we were joined by 2 of ollies friends.. Tom and Marcos.. man, does ollie know anyone that isnt drop dead hot ??

from there.. tom gave me a lift to the S-Bahn so i could catch a train to the reeperbahn to go meet merlin (the guy i had chatted to online) who was working in a big sex shop (well it is the kings x of hamburg)

had trubles with the ticket machine.. and so this guy comes up and tells me he has a ticket that covers a few people and if i sit near him i can travel on his ticket... so got a free ride.
got to the shop and spent 4.5 hours there just chatting to him and looking at all the toys.. my mates back in australia would have had a field day there... there was something for everyone. merlin even got me to try on a few outfits.. of which i really wanted to buy.. but for 550 euros i dont think i can afford it when i want to travel so much... but thats another story.

ended up waiting for merlin to finish at 2am and then we walked home..chatting endlessly as we went.

merlin is an american but has lived in germany for many many years so it was good to be abl eot speak total english again.

got hoe at 3am.. only to find andreas had accidently left the key in the door on the inside which means you cant unlock it form the outside. i tried to sms and call him but his mobile died just as i was ringing... bugger..

so like the poor little matchstick girl... i had to sit on the steps in the freezing cold... at 4.3 am i had to run down the road to the bushes to pee.. (how german) and at 6am .. i was so cold that despite it being freezing utside i had to get up and walk so that i could get warmer.. i got 10 mins down the road when andreas rang..he just woke up and charged his phone..

finally got inside and andreas was so sorry.. i think i can laugh now but at the time was s tired and cold.. then he tells me the bad news that the maid is coming at 9am so i cant sleep... but as it turns out.. we left a note on the bedroom door not to clean the bedroom.. and ends up she didnt have a key anyway so didnt come.. phew.
today... despite being tired, meeting merlin at 3 so he can help me buy a bomber jacket... so im not so cold outside..(like closing the gate after the bull has run really)
