S-cup

Today I felt a bit weird at my new work.. I think it's due to the fact that I have been modeling for 9 hours.. modeling processes. I know you all thought: What? little thickly Simo is a model?... naaaaaaaw.. I modeled reference processes.. nice, no? So after doing that 8,5 hours I thought of making an email break.. and I had an online conversation with E. who wants new cups from IKEA.. So I kicked off "cup" jokes, which just work in german.. in the end we agreed on: solange man sie noch alle im schrank hat sollte man lieber abwarten und aus alten tassen tee trinken, als eine trübe zu sein. now that I write that shit, I feel really, really geeky. I think I will put on my new heatherette-life-ball outfit, dance to scissor sisters and smoke some 5o euro notes while I kill the 300 oysters which I just bought to make myself new earrings!

When it's cold, rainy and windy outside, cafe Kick is the place to get warmed up with a Corona and a game of table Fußball. That's why two girls made their way down to Old street to spend their afternoon there. One of which was incredibly sexy, by the way! (as she always is)

A = me

A stays at home all the weekend because A is sick. On Sunday A is better and just wants to have a coffee with B and C. D and E call A. D loves honey rum so A - E end up at the Alamenda with Caipis. D knows F, so F joins the group. F knows a couple of Americans, so schwupiwupi, A - F crash an american rooftop party with BBQ, mini-pool, rap music, a very drunk american girl ending up in the pool with clothes, a very american couple having sex in the bathroom while B has to piss like a race horse (hihihihihi). B slaps culooooo, B likes Jake, B dances Bulerias like crazy. A is impressed how B and C adapt to american party style, can't believe that american parties are the same everyfuckingwhere and drinks a lot of beer. A is unable to speak english and sick of explaining where Austria is. But A is soooooo pleased that the weekend has a happy ending. A will upload fotos to find out who B, C, D, E and F are, as soon as E sends them!!

ass hurts

Sevilla is on strike. no buses for a whole week. and my working place is far faaaaar away from my sleeping place. Thank god my breakfasting place is full of nice people and so Pablo lent me his daughters bike, sorry, crappy bike. surpriiiiise... it's way too small for the austrian standard height. conclusion: everything hurts. but apart from that going by bike along the river with a view on beautiful Triana is great and so was the rest of the day. A totally serious man told me that I was guapa even though I hadn't had coffee before, then I spent a totally relaxed birthday afternoon with Alice in a café, a terrible thunderstorm hit Sevilla while I was at work and NOT on my bike and I talked to a 80 year old sevillano about all the wars of history. well, he talked and I nodded and this still was difficult enough!

fans and plans

basically my life is over.. I was working two days now, and my boss already told me that I probably go to the Berlind headquter in two weeks and that soon all the responsability of treating our customers is mine. thanks.. I just wanted to earn some dough to buy drinks at the weekend ;) That's the "work plan". Due to "work plan" life plan = zero.

And I am missing my Sevilla.. my barrio, my friends and the feeling living in this precious place on earth. And I missed the huuuge FC Sevilla UEFA campeón fiesta! Well I wait till we won the european championships in 2008....

gone

Simo's gone. gone with the wind. Left me alone with the crowd, with 33 degrees and a crappy Internet connection. This afternoon we had a very sentimental good bye. at least from my side. Can't help Simo, I just have to cry when things turn sad.

So please dear readers, take care of her at home. She might have some problems getting used to middle european way of life again. If she starts swearing in spanish just ignore her or shout something back to break the austrian silence. Give her some rum from time to time and tell her that she's guapa once in a while to keep the spanish feeling alive.

cool-calm-zen

My last evening in Sevilla had a nice ending.. Alameda with my group of people.. Pedro was missing and Jarrod already left, but here they are:

Kartoffelscheiße ist das traurig...

kartoffelscheiße

And this is the prove how sucessful I was, teaching german!

I'm nearly gone...

My last big party night in Sevilla... With Pedro, Iat and Andrea... After getting the big money from a traduction job we did we directly went to have lunch and 2 relaxing coffees at one of open air bars in the park.. Totally relaxed and ready to do some loundry and cleaning and preparing my departure I spent 4 minutes at home when Pedro called and we had some beers... till 20:30 and we picked up Andi from work.. and - surprise - got ready to go out.. FIESTA!.. vamonos compadre! -huuuuge dinner in Salteras with kidneys (we ate half, Pedro 4,5.. I was constantly thinking about you, martina, while I tried them...), a lot of grilled meat and off we got to get drinks.. After Andrea innocently pissed off Iat's girlfriend by no being an italian guy called "Andrrrea" we finally could get away from mortally offended spanish girl...To >Antique<.. Wooow.. Entering we nearly crushed into a basketball team.. I swear, I have never seen that tall guys.. it was amazing.. wow.. J-LO already left and so we concentrated on the things we dominate: dance - stare - drink!

alegriiiiiaaaaaaaaa

wanna see some real ALEGRÍA in a real townies club??? here we go....

5x schlafen

5 more nights in Sevilla... ISN'T THAT HORRIBLE!!! I am really going home? Can you imagine that? Holy moly! I have no flat, no clothes for work, no spanish, no beach, no handsome dark haired guys (except for fritzi ;-)....) My last days in Isla Cristina were great.. 5 days.. felt like holidays!! Tha pictures we made may be censored.. you really don't wanna see where we were! Andi, Devon (my roomy) and me were surrounded by "townies", by tacky girls and the most tuned cars you have ever seen! It was nearly a satisfying weekend.. hihii..

David Hasselhoff Drunk

It was a a long night when fun rider David Hasselhoff put his career in limbo, dancing with the wrong spirit. A video of him being drunk found its way to the press, which immediately jumped up the train releasing footage and comments all over the internet and leaving poor David alone in his car. Being an admitted alcoholic who's suffered several throwbacks before I want to hassle the Hoff with only one question: Is this the freedom you were looking for?

And what did I do today:
made a picnic, went on a train, went shopping, got stuck in a dress, had a picnic, strolled through the park, had a cup of tea next to the pond, visited the Serpentine gallery, saw some dogs/ gay dog owners/ training bottoms/ Asian ghetto kids/ girls without bums/ girls with more bum than May, had some unidentified food, listened to cheating girls and devastated boys, saw an Aston Martin, saw the perfect couple, had a glass of wine, got tipsy from only one glass of wine, smelt flowers, went for an evening stroll and had many lovely conversations with May.
