May 9th: The pros and cons of having a job.

The pros:

The cons:

So far, the pros seem to be winning. Though, after a month of carrying waste water containers that weigh about 20 kilos at least four times a day, the list might be a lot different. I would’ve never guessed working in a ice cream stand could be this hard.

The stand itself is not so much a stand, but more like a little… construction that looks like an igloo. It used to have a penguin on top of it but someone stole it (Who the hell steals a plastic penguin?). It’s tiny, crowded and extremely hot despite the fact that there a four gigantic freezers there. I worked there for about a week now and, well, it’s a job. And I’m already sick of ice cream :(

Apr 26th: The frog that followed.

Last night my sister (yeah, we’re talking to each other again :P ) told me about a frog she and her friends had seen a few hours before. The frog was injured and it was just dragging its body along the road. My sister, who is generally scared of those yucky, slimy creatures (as am I!), felt sorry for the frog. She wondered whether the frog had a long way home and whether it had a family. She also suspected the frog might even follow her home.

Just moments after my sister had finished recapping her froggy adventure to me, we decided to go out for a smoke. Opened the door, stepped out and was just about to lit my cigarette when my sister let out an unbelievably high pitched scream. She kept pointing to the little concrete step right in front of our door. I looked down, let out a possibly even more high pitched scream and just leaped inside and slammed the door shut behind me.

There was a gigantic (read: perfectly normal sized one, but it seems to have grown into a gigantic one in our stories) frog just sitting there, behind our front door. THE FROG FOLLOWED HER!

We spent the rest of the evening occasionally squealing and constantly checking every little corner of our flat, just to make sure the frog hadn’t jumped in.

Apr 24th: Asdfghhk.

If someone doesn’t already know, I live with my 19-year-old sister and, while we do get along quite well most of the time, sometimes we both just explode at each other.

Today was one of those days. I often go to the super market with my parents and buy food for myself and my sister. Usually my parents pay for my sister food, and towards the end of the month when I’ve run out of money, they buy my food as well. My sister always gives me a huge list of what she wants and the list generally consists of things that aren’t exactly cheap. Today, she wanted me to bring her crisps, pudding, some real food, dog food…

I was a horrible, horrible person and forgot the crisps and pudding. All hell broke loose. My sister started mumbling something, I asked what she was saying and the following happened (excuse the language):
