I have a very good face-memory. Even years later, I recognize people whom I hardly knew even then. So sometimes I have pretty funny conversations trying to find out where we met or got to know eachother or whatever.
(With names I’m pretty bad, by the way.)
Yesterday, I accidently met P., a friend of my old ex-girlfriend (more than 4 years ago). I’ve bumped into P. every now and then living in a rather small city and we chat a bit every time. Yesterday she was accompanied by her friend F., which I recognized, but I didn’t remember her name.
When P. and I started talking, it was obvious that F. didn’t recognize me at all.
P. made the connection (her friend’s ex-boyfriend etc.) and F. tried to make conversation. And that was so hilarious for me because it was obvious she had no clue about me whatsoever.
Just some quotes:
Yes, you study to become a teacher, right?
- Never have, never will. Major in political science. (just me laughing)
Oh, how do the studies go?
- Well, I finished about 3,5 years ago. (now it’s p. and me laughing; actually I just wrote my thesis during the formerly mentioned relationship.)
by Farin Urlaub. And it has been a neck-and-neck race with , but the latter got disqualified, because I found that song not in September already.
Nevertheless the lyrics are just great.
Enjoy!
Now that’s a nice feature with the yahoo messenger: you can play games like chess etc. with your chat-partner.
Probably not the newest thing for the world, but I got it just yesterday; very comfortable and nice.
So, if Far Cry kicks us out once again, we can play the game of kings, jeck. Maybe even calyban may be interested?!
Got one today: in the letterhead they got my name and everything right.
But then the letter starts like this:
“Sehr Frau Herr XYZ (imagine my last name here)”.
They probably don’t want to press someone into a gender he/she may not like.
Very open-minded nowadays, these civil servants…
I always, well not always, but for some years thought, I like buying shoes.
But I realized today, I like having nice shoes. Looking for them and buying them is the boring part. Or annoying, because shoes for men (and with my not exactly tiny feet there is no way to choose from the other section) tend to be boring/tawdry/distasteful. I mean, just look at the winter-shoe-section: 1001 varieties of boots for women. And dockers for men. In brown or black. Wow! Okay, I didn’t mention cowboy boots, but they just don’t count.
I wonder if I am the only one with the desire for different shoes. Or clothes come to that. Or if word just hasn’t reached the people making clothes.
I guess that was one advantage of the 60s and 70s. Much more fashion liberty. Turned out the fashion made your eyes sick, but liberty there was.
I went to my favourite travel agency today (not that I need one that often, but I still have my favourite), because I want to go to Thailand next year. To be more specific, a good friend and me want to go.
The travel agent - a very competent one - has been to Thailand several times, so she’s sort of an expert with many useful tips; AND we found an airline which would be affordable and everything… (for feeling safe: it’s not not a Tupolew-plane)
My travel nerves twinge already. It would be sooo wonderful to go there.
