Life...and other afflictions

The rantings and uninteresting events of my life

Friday, June 24, 2005

I don't always wanna talk about Max, but if I don't talk about Steffi or school or other people, there's only Max to talk about over here.

We went to watch Batman Begins on Wednesday. Because we wanted to watch it in English, we went to Cinemaxx instead of UFA Palast, which is nearer to my place. Cinemaxx is nearer to Max's place. I decided to wear a skirt because it was so warm...but skirts don't go with sketchers sport shoes...so I wore slippers. The exact same kind I wear in Singapore. But what happened? I got foot cramps. In both feet. I somehow made it to the bus stop, but I didn't know if it would go away. I thought I was gonna die of the pain And after getting off the bus, I'd still have to walk to Max's place, which is about 8 min away by foot. Well, the bus reached at 19:38 and it was 19:45 by the time I rang his doorbell. Anyway, on the bus I met this girl who was in the same Lit tutorial as me in the first semester. She's from the US and a great dancer (I don't mean disco). So we talked all the way on the bus until I'd gotten off. She said she didn't recognize me at first, cos I looked so great. Haha. Well, I guess I didn't look so great in winter 2003. Pale, puffy-looking, pimply (well, I still get pimples now, but not so many), etc etc. But it was a surprise to see her again! I was vaguely wondering what'd happened to her, so it was great to see her on the bus.

Anyway, Max was sitting in his room when I got there. My feet were feeling slightly better by then. We wasted a lot of time...we wanted to leave for the cinema earlier, but ended up leaving only at 20:20, and the movie was supposed to be screened at 20:30. He told me that my clothes were nice, but they'd look better on his floor. Is that crappy or is that crappy? Anyway, he said that he was glad that we'd talked.

We took the bus to Cinemaxx because I definitely couldn't walk for 15 minutes in the slippers. The ground here is very bumpy and uneven (was that tautological?). But it turns out that the stupid commercials lasted for over 30 minutes...so good thing we didn't go so early. Max bought popcorn..which is strange because he told me he didn't like it. Then he revealed that he usually doesn'y buy it because he either is too cheap to buy it, or he thinks it makes him fat. Anyway, we shared the popcorn. He paid for everything, including the movie tickets and I let him...because I didn't have any money on me (well, not enough to have paid the 6 Euros)...but I don't think he knew that. Just so happened that I'd gone to the bank and deposited all my money...and whatever cash I had left, I spent buying things like stuff for Max's present (have to find time to make it and have to borrow an iron...probably from Max himself), groceries and a top to go with my white skirt. I'm planning to wear it for Max's cousin's christening. I had to look for a long time because I wanted it to be light blue and because it's in a church, it had to be decent (not low-cut, not revealing in any way, etc.) Considering summer trends here, it definitely wasn't easy to find. I mean they had very decent stuff too, but it was either boring, or I'd sweat to death in those things.

Sorry, sidetracked. Anyway, Batman Begins is nice. Except for some leaps of logic. Shall not mention them, in case I spoil someone's fun. We both liked it but it was super late when the movie was over, so I asked Max if I could stay over at his place. He said, of course it's ok...then later he said that I'd planned it. Very funny. If I'd planned it, I would've brought my toothbrush and stuff to sleep in. He lent me a t-shirt and a pair of his boxers. He asked me which design I wanted. Haha. Then he pulled out the sofabed for me and asked if I wanted to hear something romantic. I raised my eyebrows. He said, "We don't have anything to eat tomorrow!" Haha. Very romantic. Anyway, we ended up talking like it was a sleepover...which was nice...except it was very late by the time we went to sleep. Still, I had a nice feeling inside. We got up at like 9.15 the next morning...we walked over to the bakery to get breakfast. Max asked me what I wanted, but I had no idea what they sold, so I asked him to take me along. They only had sweet stuff...so I took a pudding schnecke. After breakfast, we were very tempted not to go for our first class at 1pm, but I did leave at around 11.45am anyway. Max said he was a bad influence on me. Haha...probably, but I definitely went for class.

Now, I am having exam panic. Only have 1 1/2 weeks to learn for my 3 exams. Sigh. DIE already. :S
