Moving around.

Since I no longer have a place of my own to stay in I have started to move around.
I have written about that I stayed at Sineads and I still do from time to time. Fredrichshain feel like home in so many ways and I like staying there, even if three people in the same room might be a little to much at time.

Trailer photo.

I asked Smooth if I could use her wagon/trailer when she was away, and I did for three days.
Living there is making a fire so you keep warm, getting wood and water and just having a lot of time to read/write or whatever you would like to do. Every morning I made instead coffee in a teapot in the little gas stove that is in the wagon. I smelled like fire/camping all the time and my hands and fingers where constantly black from making fires and cleaning the oven. I wore "trailer clothes", that was a pair of Smooth's jeans (me who never wears jeans else) and a T-shirt. Those clothes smell like kindle and wood that I have noticed more since I came back to the man-village that is "normal" life in an apartment, with shower and all that.
The cat, Hookes, (and Robyn) in the wagon.

There is also a cat there and I really liked it there. A lot of quiet time that I needed.
I also had friends over there one night and had a great time. That place is really cozy.
It is hard to explain the wagon, how it looks and how you feel spending time there. It has to be seen and you have be in it to understand it.

I was back at Sineads for a night and re-packed my overnight bag (to call it an overnight bag might not be so corrected because it is a pretty big backpack) and headed to Neukölln. A part of Berlin I really do like and that I also spent a night in about a week ago. My good friend Robyn lives there, but she's now away in Los Angels for a wedding, and said that I could use her room while she is gone. I will probably not stay here all the six days that she is gone, but some nights it will be. It will also be some quiet time since the room mate here doesn't really like that I have people over. I experienced that today when she yelled at me so it's not going to happen again.

I have great friends that offer me a place to stay whenever I want. Even new friends think that it's fine for me to sleep at their couch or on a mattress on the floor. I will try living in other parts of Berlin as well in the time coming. Most likely I will be back at the apartment I had during the first month I was here in Berlin, in Fredrischstrasse. And I hope to spend at least one night in Wedding, a part of town I haven't visited yet.

I want to stay in Berlin and even if I have literary no money. I'm getting myself together, looking for jobs more then before, looking for a language school to take some German course and trying to get my thoughts to make sense again. I hope it will pay off. *fingers crossed*
