meet my flatmates

i thought maybe someone wants to know who that is i am going to live with for 10 month now. and its interesting and funny people so i just tell you about them.

there is nici 21, from london. her parents are italians and she studies italian and politics. nici is a city girl, and if i say city girl i mean that she goes for a walk in the wilderness in golden shoes. its so funny how different we are. i cant believe she never ever in her whole live walked through a wood like we did on the giara di gesturi, she wonders how i can say whats cowshit and whats horseshit. i wouldnt know how to fill an extra dressing room, she needed a week to choose the necklaces she would bring here. when she comes home and shouts "inaaaa i have a problem" even before the door closed be sure the problem is make-up a make-up-artist put in her face and she didnt like it and had to walk home with it. its forbidden to take pictures of her. her impression of me must be very village-like, cause she was surprised when i told her that also i do like shopping.
although nici is so much a city girl like i dont know any other she never makes a face about things, although she complains about being here (she had to do erasmus) you never have the feeling she complains (if that makes sense..?) she is really friendly and nice and crazy. and she can swear! i am looking forward to see her drunk for the first time cause she says she gets agressive then. haha! i want to see some agressive 7 stones.

then borja, 21, a spanish guy who studies economics in london. i am definately not the crazy person here! borja drove most of the time on our trip and told us afterwards its the first time he drives legal and the first time he drives overland. he sings songs he listens to most times louder than the music plays, no matter who might hear it. he also takes great pictures - and draws great pictures! he can even cook! rita, our landlady, says he is the cock and we are the hens he looks after.... and although he brings lots of girls home to cook them dinner (and noone twice) he is really a nice guy.

joanne is 26 and also from england. she is not a student but an english teacher at a private english school here in cagliari and she has been here for one year, but in a different flat. shes probablz the most adult one of us - her student years are so long ago! but yesterday we got to know her hidden side: she is a talented liar, too. we went on a bus that was so crowded that nobody stamped his ticket as you have to usually. than two conductors (kontrolleure) entered the bus, and joanne said:" we do the english tourists." and then she played the english tourist that doesnt understand any italian word. and even in a crowded bus you dont find anybody who could speak english. so the conductors wanted them to pay and joanne went on: "sorry, i dont understand. pay? but why? i have a ticket, this is my ticket, no?) and pretended she didnt know you have to stamp it. she looked so innocent! and i was laughing my ass off. so talented liar!

to summarize, i am glad i found nice flatmates who talk to you and ask you how your day was and are interested in you. its not gonna be boring - as verena said: normally you have perhaps one crazy person in a flat, but here its at least 2 or 3. that will be fun. we are going to cook honey on rainy sunday afternoons!

but i am not sure if they like me too. first thing that came into nicis mind when she painted me a tattoo is this...
