When I don’t write, it’s usually during the bestest or the darkest times. On the surface I think I seemed chilled, but I was empty inside.
I didn’t write about great family weekend. I was terrified before, because we don’t spend a lot of time together as a family anymore and this time I was in charge.
But everything turned out really well.
It was just mum, dad, one sister and L. L’s brother joined us on Sunday.
We visited a castle in Trenčín. It was almost a day trip. The weather was beautiful, we walked around, saw the performance with falcons (sokoliari), drank not-so-good beer and had a great fun. The tour around castle was about two hours. The guide was a crazy person.
I was very happy for my parents, because they enjoyed the trip so much.
In the evening we drank wine and watched Madagascar on TV which felt like childhood.
On Sunday we went to a café, where I used to work and then we went for quite a long walk around the colonnade to the local dam and back.
I’m sorry I’m writing in English, but I think I’m slowly losing the ability to speak fluently in Czech. When we have lessons in English and suddenly I need to explain something in Czech I feel completely like a potato. Maybe I’m just tired, ‘cause it’s the end of the school year.
Very random thing happened to me recently. A colleague with whom I’ve talked like three times before asked me, if I wanted to fly with him to London to see the Dresden dolls concert. I said that I have quite a lot of things going on in summer and autumn, so I probably shouldn’t go.
We haven’t even spoken about Amanda Palmer before, he just knew I like her because I follow her (and Neil Gaiman) on the Instagram.
Few days after that, M. wrote me with the same question. I talked again with the colleague and somehow, we all bought the ticket in the middle of the night. Well, we are apparently flying together to England in autumn.
The colleague’s name also starts with M., but me and A. call him Tall M. so that’s a way how to distinguish him.
He joined us for one Trivia night. We found out that he knows all the dates of all the Disney movies ever released. He was so sure, he shouted at A: “Don’t question me about fucking Disney.” He’s insanely knowledgeable.
Another very random thing. I met one teacher at school for the first time even though we both have been teaching there for two years. We started talking and he said he liked me, and we exchanged contacts. He’s from Ghana, so I said him about the night we met the group of guys from Kenya. Not the best ice breaker I think. He laughed at me that I didn’t meet more black people before.
S: Why are you in Zlín?
Me: I moved there because of relationship.
S: So you have a boyfriend here.
*I panicked and quickly considered telling the truth. My heart-rate increased rapidly.*
Me: Actually, it’s a girlfriend.
S: I like that…I mean, that you told me this instead of pretending that you’re someone else.
I don’t know why I trusted him immediately. We talked about a lot of things, very interesting conversation. Because of this I didn’t manage to go home and I had to go to the next lesson そのまま.
We should meet soon. I hope so.
Also this happened today in the morning:
Me: Do you know what are homophones?
Student: Er…people who hate homosexuals?
Me: …
More exciting news to come ~
“Don’t question me about fucking Disney” had me cracking up :D a kulový blesky jsou noční můra
OdpovědětVymazatI´m really looking forward to more exciting news! *wink wink*
OdpovědětVymazatIt´s so cool. Recently I was thinking about it. That I want to be in a position, that someone will move to the "my city" because of me and not that I´ll move to "their city" like in the past. Of course I loved them, of course I wanted to live in that city, but somehow... I was supposed to cut off my whole life, you know. Eh, whatever, just "shower thoughts". :D
My brain is like potato, too, but mostly in english language. :D
