Yellow and Orange (because now I'm curious about YOUR hometown ;D)
Haha, and my childhood too, it seems. Oh boy, now I’ll have to think for a bit…Yellow: 7 facts about my childhood
1. I spent my first few years moving around quite a bit and my fondest memories are of the time when I was living on Sylt for like 3 or 4 years or so. That was where I went to kindergarten and started school. Moved away when I was 8. =/
2. I learned to read before I got to school because I wanted my mum to read me comics and she didn’t want to. So taught me to read them myself and from then on I loved reading.
3. I lost 2 milk teeth without ever finding them again. One I lost while I was playing outside (which I loved doing as a kid, I was really into climbing trees - now I’m afraid of heights), ran around, got hit in the mouth by a twig - tooth was gone, nowhere to be found. The other I lost while eating a sandwich, I just swallowed it without noticing - obviously also never seen again.
4. On one occasion, I was probably about 4 or 5, I thought it was a good idea to stand on my younger brother’s head to get something from a shelf. Didn’t harm him but I got in trouble nonetheless.
5. I used to have a few pets during my childhood. Family pets were two birds called Grünkohl and Spätzle and a dog called Charlie. Don’t know what happened to the birds but Charlie was given away to friends when we moved away. Later had a puppy called Mickey that (suppossedly, it was my stepfather going for a walk with him) bit someone so he was also given away. Then a bird whose name I forgot that just died. And my last childhood pet would be a grey bunny usually called Mucki but I had actually named him Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington. Nobody cared about that. Given away when my sister developed an allergy against everything with fur.
6. I really loved visiting my grandparents. Like my grandfather always took me to the museum to look at the bog bodies (that sounds so weird, Moorleiche sounds way better). I also really loved school trips to the moor.
7. I learned to play the recorder and Glockenspiel. As did almost everyone I know. I can’t play it anymore though. .. That was like 20 years ago, omgOrange: 6 facts about my home town
1. Our castle is fucking yellow. It’s so ugly. But the garden is beautiful even though it’s not actually connected to the castle (anymore at least, might have been once).
2. It’s a bike town. Cars are basicallly useless because you can go almost everywhere way quicker by bike. I miss that now.
3. Eating kale is such a huge thing during the winter. Never been part of a Kohlfahrt myself but I love the idea of it; talking a walk with a group of people, drinking alcohol and eating good food (kale) later - what about this doesn’t sound good?
4. We have the Kramermarkt, a huge fair usually in September/October (only October this year). It’s alright, the best thing is actually the parade at the beginning. It’s lead by Graf Anton Günther and his pals on horses and I don’t know why this is the best part of it but it just is.
5. It’s close to where Dieter Bohlen comes from. He went to school in my home town. Actually to the same school I later attended.
6. There is a song about my home town. It’s kind of amazing (in ironic way). So good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU6ucoLQfO0(One of my brothers appears in this video too, haha)Okay, now my brain is empty. Thanks for asking, though. It was fun. <3
