Yesterday we had the annual "company-christmas party" with my co-workers from the university. We went to a place, we visited 2 years ago. We played a little bowling, and then had a huge feast. It wasn't as bad as 2 years before...
This restaurant is located outside the city in a little village. We went out with cars. I hitched a ride in one of my co-workers car. The way back, around 10 pm, it was quite foggy, and cold. It was fascinationg to drive through the foggy plains in winter-moon shine. That was the part of the evening I enjoyed the best.
I thought about how strange these places are for me. Since I don't have a car I rarely leave the city. Only when I go home to my parents, and in that case I take the train. I thought about how it'd not be any different for me in another country. I'd feel the same strangeness...
Don't even get me stared on cars... I overheard my mom and dad talking about buying a new car last time I was home. My dad suggested to give the old car to the "kids". My mom asked him "And what do you give for your other kid?" - My dad obviously ment my sister and her bf before.
After that my dad answered raising his voice something like "Anything he wants", and then mumbled something about me alvays watching cartoons...
:/
no comment on that...

Today Marcie invited us over to her flat for chocolate fondu and baked apples. She's such a great friend...
She shares her flat with another girl, who went to medical school the same year as we did. We met in the Freshman camp, and I had a crush on her back then...
I really hoped I can see her tonight, but she was sleeping in her room the whole time long.
Well, we had a fun evening there anyway... I bought some Xmas music with me, we ate chocolate fondu with grape, baked apple in pancake and drank boiled hot wine.

Before that I received my first christmas gift from my flatmate. He leaves for home tomorrow. I'll go home saturday.
He's always joking around about me liking those penguin movies, like The march of the emperors, Happy feet, and Surfs up... He hated those movies.
So he bought me a Cody figure from Surfs up! I was really surprised.
He's a great guy, and I have to appreciate having a friend like him a little more in the future...
/I bought him a photo frame for christmas, so he can finally pace a decent photo with his gf on the shelf./
