Hello again! Is this reply quick enough to keep you happy? :)
Of course it is.
Some WEIRDLY whacked out girls here. Not as weird as you, obviously, so it's ok, you can stop hyperventilating. But these girls are crazy. I am relying on other exchange students for company and moral support.
My roommate is mental.
She has jet black hair with pastel purple streaks and a million peircings ALL over her face. In places that I didn't even imagine were possible. For example, did you know that you could get the BRIDGE of your nose peirced? like, the bone right between your eyes? IS that the bridge? Maybe not. Actually, you probably did know that, you are a bit of a peircing enthusiast. Well, *I* didn't, anyway. And.. wait, what was the point of this whole story?
I literally have no clue.
So let me continue.
Her name is Carla and EVERY SINGLE DAY she spends over two HOURS in the bathroom literally PAINTING her face on. NO JOKE. She puts on completely white foundation and wears DARK DARK eyeshadow, surrounded by all these bold pinks and purples. Oh, and GET. THIS.
SHE SHAVES HER EYEBROWS.
She literally does not have eyebrows.
She shaves them off so that every day she can draw them on her face. In these perfect, thin lines. I mean, I would almost appreciate her face as art if I wasn't so weirded out. And confused. For exmaple, if she has so many peircings, how does she get her foundation on so flawless and pale? How does one put on perfect purple lipstick when they have three lip peircings? I have zero facial peircings and my face looks like a crime scene.
These are the mysteries of my life.
But, anyway, she doesn't really speak to me much. She has her earphones in 24/7, has plastered the walls in gothic posters and don't even get me started on the candles and corsets.
Speaking of Goths! I now understand what the hell you meant when you were talking about "Goth Something"
It's the city I'm staying in! It took me awhile to figure out what you were talking about but the place where I'm living is called "Gothenburg" or "Gotenborg". It's completely full of students.
Anyway,
I am so terribly, sincerely sorry for leaving you but am learning lots and you will one day thank me when I raise enough money to find the cure for cancer or something. Think of all those horribly sick people who will be healed!
I love you!
