Week No. 4 |
| 3rd of April Dear diary, Unbeliveable... Now Iīm here since... I think 3 weeks... And I should really, really search a job for me now so I will have no problems to pay my food and stuff and after all I wanna get me a real bad. My back is totally wound from laying in this f*cking hay...Thatīs why I made myself thoughts about how to use my special talents. Unfortunetly my special talents are: How to spend money that I donīt have on shopping and how to use an video-recorder and to eat a lot of food without gaining weight. So... I better search something which is not that specific. I thought about asking Al the mayor, but I didnīt really dared to do so after his reaction on my "swamp-adventure", I also didnīt really dared to ask Old Crazy Ann cause she might shoot me this time. Maybe.... maybe I could start as a waitress at Maggies Saloon so I went over to the saloon to ask her. But when I got there the saloon was closed. Fortunety Grandpa Zack came by and told me that Maggie was doing some moreof her "Maggie Moonshine Brew" in her destille which was 10 minutes away from the saloon. He asked if he should show me where the destille would be, but I was too scared what he might could want as price this time so I searched it by myself. It seemed like I HAD to find it, cause I heard a loud BOOM when I went since 5 minuts or something, so I runned over to where the noise was coming from. Big black clouds where hanging over Maggies destille and she was standing in front of it. "What has happened" I asked her and she told me the f*cking destill had been exploding again. She had left it for some minutes to get some more korn for the brew so the whole shit had climbed up to maximum heat and no one had been there to watch it. I asked her if she wouldnīt have someone to watch for it and she said she hadnīt. So I offered her that I could do this job whenever she would do some new brew there. Maggie was so glad about it. She told me she would do it once a week and I would get 10 $ each time I watch it plus free drinks in her saloon (if Iīd promise to tell it to no one). I think it is a better job than waitress since I just have to sitt and watch how warm it is getting and 10 $ are ok, if I donīt spend much money and get free drinks anytime after all. It is not much money, but I donīt have a rent to pay and no electricity... Just food. |
| 4rth of April Dear diary, I got to see something really weird today... There was a girl wearing many skirts and throwsers at once and she was crouching on the ground with an shoe in her hand and sun-glasses. She made weird noises and it got in my mind her parents was very close relatives. She was crouching between the huts and suddenly she found a place to stay at. She didnīt moved for a very long time and I started to wonder about her (after all thats what I did all the time) than she moved fastly and smashed the shoe on the ground. As I looked there very carefull I saw that she had caught something and it was... A fat black rat!!! I felt like throwingup cause I was so disgusted. She put it in a bag and went away. I still felt a bit weird about observing this scene. I was feeling even more disgusted when I saw her later on the market as she waited at the market with a sign saying "Fresh Rats" and I threw up when I saw how Old Crazy Ann went over and bought one. So... Did she cooked some rats when I stayed at her place and I didnīt noticed it???? PUKE!!!!!!! I didnīt dared to ask her!!!!! |

| 5th of April Dear diary, I think I really got to get in action if I wanna get Jimmy for me. But I donīt know how people use to catch ones attention here. I went over to Mae, which behaved normal again (but didnīt talked about the swamp after all) and asked her. She said "Well.... There are two ways to get an mens attention when he is living here.... No. 1 is that you just put your clothes off infront of him..." Oh boy, that would I never, never, never do, or maybe should I? While I still started to think about it she continued "... And way No.2 is that you cook something nice for him and bring it to him." Hey, that sounded pretty easy. That was definitive more my way. So I asked her if she knows what Jimmy likes to eat and she answered that the easiest way to get an mans heart is a big fat and f*cking half-raw steak. I was ok with that, but I didnīt knew where to get one. Thatīs why I went to the rotten store and asked for steaks. Joey, the shops owner told me, that I could get one through special order, but since every farmer would love steaks it would take a special price. Before he could get on ideas just like Grandpa Zack for getting my car to Brunkeflo I told him I would be willing to pay up to 5$. So Joey promised me to keep his eyes open and send someone to me as soon there would be one. Now I got to wait and wait until he has a steak..... |
| 6th of April Dear diary, Iīm still waiting for the steak and I really started to think about what I could also cook for him. And that I surely should get me a bed soon (I still sleep on a hill of hay and I hate it!) I think of some nice vegetables and maybe a little bit bread. So I just got to wait and wait....... One more day... |

| 7th of April Dear diary, Finally Herbie was coming over. As always he wasnīt very communicative and I start to wonder if he can talk at all. He made me a sing to follow him and brought me to the store. When Joey slammed it on the table I saw that it was the biggest steak Iīve ever seen. It was three times bigger than a normal steak!!! I wonder how to put it in a pan. And I bought some nice fresh vegetables. It was a hard work, but I made it! And it looked wonderfull when I had this huge thing on a nice plate with all this vegetables and stuff. I put it in a basket and started my way to the gold-mine. I had to walk very careful so nothing would get out of itīs place. Oh it looked so wonderful, Jimmy couldnīt resist it. But as always things worked out very different than I planned it. I was so proud of my wonderfull steak and I was right about to shout for him, but it stucked tight in my throat when I got to see him sitting somewhere eating his lunch, but he was not alone. NExt to him there was sitting a girl which was obviously pregnant. Oh no!!!!!!! So he HAD a girlfriend and even a PREGNANT girlfriend I right turned around when Jimmy was seeing me, but I was just running and stumbling and didnīt cared I lost half of the vegetables. When I finally arrived home I first cried like crazy and than I ate all of the huge steak and felt totally sick. |
| 8th of April Dear diary, I had to watch Maggies destille today. I was feeling totally benumb and wondered about myself how I ever had been able to fall in love for someone in this town. I should have known better. I was glad when I was able to go home again. I donīt know if it was caused through this kilo steak or whatever, but I wasnīt hungry. Later it was knocking on the door and I didnīt opened. After the knocking stopped and I heared how someone went away I looked out of the door and saw it was Jimmy which was going away. |
