24 April 2010; 21.07: Rummaging through my closet for an appropriate outfit to don to a birthday party at a bar of a person I don’t know. Spoiler alert: I chose none of these outfits. Just as I was losing hope in the friendliness of Hamburgers, I was welcomed with open arms by complete strangers. I only found myself at this birthday celebration via someone I had only met once for only a couple hours. Hope restored. Apparently not all Hamburgers are cold and disinterested in anyone but themselves and the people they already know. Overall a good night, which was proceeded by a good day sitting by the Alster (lake) doing some script editing for my good and talented friend Jessica (whom I suggest you all follow), like the proper hipster I am. It was possibly the most New Yorky day I’ve had thus far. Sitting by the lake was much like sitting in Union Square, and the bar was much like any bar you’d find in the city - and the people? Welcoming. Friendly. Genuine.
Challenge of the Day: Welp, I just set off the house’s alarm. So, there’s that.
Learnt German Word of the Day: Genau - exactly. I actually learnt this word a while ago as people here say it an average of 78 times a day.
