Welcome To NH Gangstertown, I Love This City...

Heej long time no see! The Kerstvakantie was so friggin boring sometimes. Kerstbal was cool, accept for the dj who was quite shitty and played some shit music. During Kerstbal I got sick an my throat hurt so bad because of all the smoke around there.

Christmas was cool, just had dinner with my family, Wednesday the 27th I went to Apassionata, a horse show. It was very spectacular and fun together with Esteli and Mirte. On the 29th in went to the ‘borrel’ of elaina and Baay. I ate so much that I almost exploded, but the borrel was fun and the people too. Baay got a tie from Kirsten and Sasha with reindeers on it and when you pressed a button it started playing some Christmas song. Baay promised he would wear it to ThiMUN.

With new-year I didn’t do much, Jesse had a plan to go to the skatepark because there was going to be a big fire, but the day before some dudes already put it on. But also the weather was shitty, with rain and a lot of wind. So lisa and I just walked around and ate and drink something. Later we went to Fleur because it was her birthday and then we again walked around in the neighbourhood. Actually I did not remember a lot of new-year, only that I did not feel that well. And that was not because I drank too much alcohol.

Last three days my cousin was here, we went to Leiden to go shopping, he bought new shoes and I bought a T-shirt. After that we went to Eragon. Apart from everyone who said it was such a bad movie, I liked it. Yesterday we went to Amsterdam, I bought a very, very fine Gsus dress. It is black with on the sleeve some glittery thingie, and it has a belt. It is sooooo cool and I absolutely adore it. I also bought a bag with AMSTERDAM written on it and a Duckie with a crown.

Now I am going to tell you a nice story about Noord Hofland Gangstertown. I live in the nice village of Voorschoten in the area called Noord Hofland. Apparently some guys think this area is like the ghetto and made some gangstersgroups, which every once in a while fight with each other. It does not really bother me, everyone knows these dudes smoke weed, steal, and carry knives with them. Just ignore them and you are fine.
On Wednesday evening, Claudia, Lars, Kjeld and I were talking in front of the C1000 after work. Claudia tried to get her keys back from Lars cus he ‘stole’ them from her. Kjeld and I were standing like 8 meters away from it just talking about random stuff. Then two guys on a bike came by (I am not going to say that they both were black and dressed up like wannabe gangsters, (dutch word = Sjonnies)) well they were looking all weird at us and stuff and when they came by Clau and Lars they started screaming stuff at them. Well Lars said something to a guy with a weird hat and he was all like: Shut up or ill put a knife between your ribs. Lars thought he was bluffing and said something like yeah alright. Well the dude made a great fuss over it and all but eventually he and the other dude left. After like 5 minutes the dudes came back with 3 more! That was like 5 against 4 and we were with two girls. They started threatening Lars and one big guy was like don’t give a big mouth to him or I’ll come buy with my knife. Lars said something like: Okay cool I wont. But still he gave him a head-butt. Claudia was screaming and said that the guys should piss off and act normal. The guys called her a Wiswijf but she didn’t care. Meanwhile some dudes came to kjeld and me, Kjeld was getting his phone out of his pocket and one guy all freaked out and said: What are you doing? Are you getting a knife? And then he explained that he was just getting his phone. I said to the guy that he just had to go and not making such a big fuss out of it. He said that I had to like shut my mouth . Well then I went to Lars and Claudia to see what was going on, but then I turned around and saw that three or two guys were picking on Kjeld. They also gave him a head-butt. I went to stand next to Kjeld and just hold him. Because kjeld had called his father the Sjonnies all freaked out. Thne Claudia said to me that she was going to call the police. The sjonnies got scared and left. But then I realised that I had seen this guys before, walking around in my neighbourhood like every day. On that moment I really got scared and did not dare to walk home all by myself. After 2 minutes lars and kjeld their dad came in the car and a minute later their mother. Kjeld got into the car with his dad. Lars said he would get Claudia home and their mother brought me home.

It was weird that I was not scared at the moment and that only half can remember what the guys said to me or the others. I don’t even know if they threatened me too. The only thing I thought of was just stay calm and make sure no one of us gets hurt, maybe that is why I held Kjeld his arm all the time. When I got home I was a bit shaky but it was over after like 5 minutes.
Really I am so glad to live in NoordHofland Gangstertown. Maybe I am just a Coward but I am really shaky for the moment I will meet one of those Sjonnies again, and certainly when I walk alone in the dark. Lars said he is carrying a knife with him now.
Well Michiel said he knew one of the guys and they are going to apologize. That’s cool, because not feeling quite safe in your own neighbourhood where you lived for like 12 years sucks.

Ah Kerstvakantie is almost over and I haven’t done shit for my Proefwerkweek, and my reso got erased =S so I have to start all over again!
Well byee byee Love you all! CU @ the next post.
