Week three oxford

Found a morning buddy as well so am happiest. He is local bloke called Dimitri and takes my bus to the Country back bollocks offices every morning. He is amusing and does accents. He also loves food and recommends all the places I should go to eat alone. His mother cooks proper Greek food and he tells me the recipes and describes them. Our bus goes past her house and we wave to Dimitris Greek mother every morning.

We start a little morning routine where whoever out of me and Dimitri gets to the bus stop first goes in to get the coffee and the other one flags down the bus. Being the back of beyond the buses only come once an hour. Mornings are SO much more interesting now.

And in evenings American girl meets me. If not, then I have soup in different room from Jake so he can’t tell me off. This weeks growlings include that I am ‘naïve about people and just think I can make friends with a random bubble and he wont want anything in return’, and that I ‘don’t understand the way the world works’ and that I don’t know anything about England. Also going out to eat all the time is ‘stupid’ given the ‘current financial climate’ and I’m in for ‘a shock when I finally leave here and move back to London as I wont be able to afford rent’. I ask what a bubble is and he says bubble and squeak/Greek -is cockney rhyming slang. I tell Jake that English people are racist. I wonder when Jake is going out and leaving me in big flash house alone.

American girl rings and says lets do dinner. I say I’ve had my soup but can meet down the road for a quick drink. She says ‘ok let me just have some chicken first. We meet an hour later; I have bought a nice bottle of wine for us. She arrives and says she is hungry and orders a bowl of fries, a salad and some chorizo in red wine. She talks non stop and she stuffs food in her mouth. ‘Did you not say you ate chicken before you came?’ I ask her. ‘Yeah but I’m so fucking stoned right now’ she says. ‘Lets take this bottle back to your place’. I had noticed that she asked a lot of questions but could not concentrate long enough to hear the answers.

Back at big flash house she introduces herself to Jake and kisses him on both cheeks and convinces him to drink our wine with her. I am losing interest in the course of the evening and I go to the kitchen to make some salad to take for lunch the next day. American girl comes into kitchen and says she needs some ‘fucking honey toast’. While I am putting honey on her toast I hear rustling and turn around and she is going through my cupboard and eating my imported French biscuits stuffing them in her mouth 4 at a time. I usher them both out and they both decide to go visit her drug dealer to buy some pot and I go to bed.

I am starting to think American girl might be a LITTLE bit of a touch CRAZY.
