Vonfuse(d) Me

Random evenings are beautiful. This one started with me spontaneously going to a Christmas concert, and only when I was there realising that some people I knew were actually performing. It went on to me randomly being dragged into a Ceilidh, the traditional Scottish dance, and exhausting myself there (the moves are really really simple, but incredibly fast). Eventually my neighbour and me decided to drink some Mate, and we took our chairs out into the corridor, got hot water and put on Argentinian Tango. In the end, we ended up being about eight people, some of which went quite mental and started singing Christmas carols in the lift when new people got in. Still having lots of excess energy, I finally managed to write a christmas card and decided to bring it to my academic mum, who was to leave in the very early hours of morning. So I went for a walk through empty St Andrews. Met a friend along the way, and in fact met my mum minutes after I had thrown the card in her letter box.

All the while I was listening to a playlist consisting of all the songs I have mentioned in this blog so far. Which is some of my favourite music; it is a gorgeous playlist. Apparently some big party ended just at that moment, and all of a sudden drunk people came from everywhere. One guy was dancing in the middle of the street, staggering after me, screaming "I'm clever". Interestingly enough, his movements syncronised perfectly with the song on my headphones at that moment - the finnish version of "Hotel California", performed by Eläkeläiset with a mighty accordion beat.
Then I went back and now I am here at 4 in the morning, feeling not slightly tired.
Many small moments this evening made it a nice evening, or maybe it was just the fact that so many random events fitted together well. Still, I will be more than happy when I am back in Hannover in three days and can leave this place, if just to know that some people will have to realise how dependent they are on the illusion of this place and its reputation.

I shall try to catch some sleep now, because even though I don't have classes tomorrow any more, I will have to get up reasonably early. There is much to finish off, and little to prevent me from doing so ;) .

PS: What do you call a Christmassy centipede? A Santapede.
If you've heard centipede jokes from me before, you'll know what I mean ;) ...
PS 2: Deep fried Mars Bars, Crunchies, Snickers are harmless if you've ever come across the beauty of battered and deep fried Pizza. 1/4 Pizza like that with chips for one pound. Great deal, great taste, terrible for your health. But a real experience.
