+bayram.

i thought i might get more sleep today because i felt better, but that did not happen. RATS! anyways, today was bajram - a festive muslim holiday. i don't want to get into all the details of explaining that. i was happy because i saw my cousins Bert and Ben, my newly appointed security adviser uncle, and my grandpa and grandma. their garden looked lovely - oh, so lovely, i would live there - and we ate specially made treats, some of which were hand-made by my two young cousins /the deserts had deformed shapes, but they were sweet/. i also got a phone call from vesa, a cousin who has the luck to call croatia her home and have a croatian passport, and told me that my online order had arrived! (i gave the address of her father's workplace in Osijek, Croatia, because packages do not arrive in Prishtina, Kosova). so happy, historical online-purchase moment for me, and probably my family. but they were not aware about that. later, ate lunch with my brother and parents. people usually make tons of food for this kind of holiday, but my mother made enough, not too much, and i was not hungry that much. all i wanted was some sleep. and sleep came, in the form of a one hour nap, that could have gone into a serious night-sleep, but i did not let that happen. the city was crowded, music up loud, mud on the ground, cars carrying people and mud to places, drinks drinks drinks and drinks some more! as we were cruising with eluise, a group of young people were running amok and were jaywalking, running. eluise passed the streetlights, and suddenly, she herd a bump in her back door: a boy that was running like crazy had just crashed/splatted himself into eluise's rear left door! it was such a bang that scared the jeepers out of me and nita, and made us feel so so sad. luckily, the boy was off and running by the minute he hit the car, and just kept running like he was being chased by wilderbeasts. we felt sorry for the guy, but also hated him for scaring us so badly. man. anyways, we wanted to do something else, to escape from the usual bayram-routine, and i did. me and nita chose the cinema as our date with this holiday. there were hardly any people, so we had a cool cinema-party-movie-watching night! knocked up, made me bite my tongue a couple of times. it was fun. glad it's over.
another exam is on my trail, but i will lose it this Sunday. muddy Sunday.
for all of you that missed this day, here's some treats. enjoy.
