well well well! you’re getting a good old fashioned live update from me. i’m drunk (or was a few hours ago), it’s 5:30am, and now you get to hear about my day.

woke up at 2pm. yep. that late. it was rainy & cloudy all day so i couldn’t ever tell what time it was. helped clean the apartment - my job was the bathroom. had some tea, german waffles with date honey from dubai. internet was broken for a while, but i managed to upload some photos to flickr.

we were supposed to have a party at my apartment, but plans changed because elsa found out she had a flight early the next morning. instead, elsa & sebastian cooked german goulash and 2 of their friends came over. i heard from genevieve later and we agreed to meet up in kreuzberg at 11pm. sent the message to tony, and all was good.

met tony and genevieve and genevieve’s friend edward at the u-bahn. we went to this barbie deinhof gay bar. it wasn’t the one i thought it was, but it was nice enough. saw a couple people kiss in there, so that was sweet. a man came by selling indian samosas. i bought some of course.

next on the agenda was an indie dance club called MAGNET but instead of trying to find it ourselves, we figured we’d go to the u-bahn stop and ask people there. turns out there was a massive dance party (photos & videos to come) literally at the bottom of the stairs in this u-bahn station. it was unbelievable so we bought some €1 beers at the shop in the station and then danced there for a while. met an american girl from hawaii and a german guy who were also hanging out there. invited them to follow us to the club after the police broke up the party.

got to magnet, the indie dance club, and waited in line. inside, literally as we walked in, they were playing THE WOMBATS. awesome… i almost died of happiness! it was maybe 1am now and the music was absolutely the best. i kissed a very tall german boy on the dance floor, which was cool because this wasn’t a gay bar or club. left the club with my friends at 4am. grabbed a dönner and then caught a ride home on the metro at quarter to 5. and back in my warm, cozy apartment by 5:30am. an absolutely excellent night!

total: doesn’t matter. i danced to some band called XX, the wombats & yeah yeah yeahs. plus i kissed a boy.
