I've been behaving rather weirdly lately. I need to get my act together.
Anyways in 9 hours time I will be heading to Brno, and 15 hours later I will be on a flight to Rome!
Italia, the one country I had always wanted to go. Wait for me, I'm well on my way.

Karlovy Vary
Finally finished watching Being John Malkovich. What a weird show. Anyway it's been a really hectic week. I haven't slept since Friday and I really ought to be in bed now, which I will be, after this entry.
So as you can already tell I was inspired to write a poem about a girl. It's always about a girl. Well this girl is different, she's exactly what I described to be in the poem and so much more. However I can't quite put my finger on what is special about her that attracts me to her. She is incredibly weird, maybe I am too, but the insane would appear sane to himself.
In case anyone wondered why I didn't sleep since Friday, allow me to explain briefly. I was invited by a Taiwanese friend to Strahov for dinner and met the last remaining low-profile Taiwanese here in Prague. Since he was nice enough to invite us to join them in her low-profile birthday celebration, I thought we return the favor by inviting them over for dinner the next day.
Next morning I received a text from Nuna Munhee, asking me out for hot chocolate, and to bring some friends. So I brought 3 and invited Nuna and her room mate over for dinner too. It was crazy. Dinner was to be at 6.30 and we were still out at 5. All went well though and I thought the night was finally over and I could rest before my trip to Karlovy Vary. Around 2330 I was invited to Nuna's room to drink, and at 2 in the morning we decided to party. So Patrick and I jumped out the window, literally and went back to change. To cut the long story short, I haven't slept until now.
Karlovy Vary was a boring place for us. Small town with only expensive hot spring baths. So we took to swimming. After searching all over for a reasonably priced hot spring spa, we gave up and went for Traditional Thai Massage. I will sleep now and feel the effects later.

Free Spirit
Free Spirit
Like a gentle breeze
That comes and goes
Never staying long
Always unannounced
You can feel it
Yet you can’t grasp it
It belongs to everyone
It belongs to no one
There are times I wished
That it would stay
For I was not ready
To let it part my way
But this breeze is a fleeting
And will soon be gone
For all will cease
When summer ends

Gaiman and Kafka
What will I make of this? I've been told I think too much. I need to learn to let things go their way and hope that things will work out fine. This is a battle I don't want to lose. It's not everyday you meet someone like that.
To make myself feel better, I bought 3 books today. Take it as a birthday gift to myself. So the loot of the day are American Gods, Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman, and The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
I've been hearing a lot about Gaiman and Kafka, and I can't wait to read their book tomorrow. Time to find a nice cafe and sit down and enjoy my book. Just some quality time with myself, no friends, no free-spirited girl, no distractions.
It's a little late for poem now. I shall attempt tomorrow.

No party
Life is Prague isn't always one big party. You have ups and downs. And I'm experiencing my first down. I've met many amazing and interesting people, and one who dazzles me. But I won't go into it just yet.
I am supposed to find myself here in Europe. So far I haven't done anything of that sorts. Today is my birthday, and I refuse to spend in my dormitory couped up with my roommate, no offense to him.
I am going to buy myself a book, which, I don't know but I will. And have a nice cup of coffee while I read my new book. Not much of a celebration, only because I had my party last night. Well, I think it's time to go while the sun is still shinning.

Wander
Wander, that was our aim today. We etched our names in stone and messed around with each other the whole time. I'm loving this life. Now, I don't want this Erasmus to end. ):
