The day of the crazy men!

So today was a little eventful. It was so gorgeous and sunny that it unleashed the crazies of Freiburg. Firstly I got a shouting phonecall and then I met a man on the tram.
The man on the tram (and title of my new book) shouted in a satanic voice about Hitler, his father and the tram. He then went on to sing Wonderwall by Oasis in this satanic, impending doom voice. A rendition of that song I never want to hear again. I then ran around the tram grabbing men's arms and shouting incomprehensible German and English. I don't know why but some of the craziest of German speak the best of English. He was thrown off the tram at my stop. I ran away quickly but fortunaatly there were girls in hot pants which were far more interesting than me...thank goodness. I can still hear him shouting at the tram stop in my bedroom with the window closed. I'm locking the door tonight.
The phonecall was worrying but at least my biceps were not at risk of being squeezed. My phone rang and I'm all like "oh it's Clair!" *answers* "Hello Lova-Bubbles!" AND A MAN ANSWERS ME BACK! He starts gushing out this really quick German and I say "langsam bitte" and he starts saying "ICH KOMME, ICH KOMME JETZT!" and I'm like..."WAS?! Ich habe etwas Deutsche, Sprecken Sie Englisch" and he says "oh..ja...I COME, I COME NOW! OK?". So I say "OK" and I hung up and now I was sitting in my room all scurred and alone, jumping when I hear the doors opening and closing!
Beautiful weather though!
