Oh dear, I miss you too! We need to meet to cook and watch films!

Recount a story of when you did something against the law/generally bad and had loads of fun.

I got drinks a few times when I wasn’t of age, though it’s not a big deal at all. But once I went walking to this dirty and terrible bar with my friend and it was kind of late, you know? Then we invited a lot of people we didn’t even knew to her house, because her parents were travelling, and we made a party there. It was also kind of the first (and only) time I smoked pot. ‘Kind of’ because some guys made a bong with an apple, but I inhaled when it wasn’t burning, so it was awful and it doesn’t even count. So yeah, half of these people stayed there until noon and they ate a lot of food and I had to clean everything up. But the worse part was lying to my friend’s parents, because I really like them :( 

Within your close group of friends, talk about the dynamics. Who is the “mother” figure? Which role do you play?

I am the mother, usually. You actually know that, don’t you, Ananda? (In our group at uni this is really strong.) I feed people, call them ‘son’ and ‘daugther’, make decisions, try to discipline them and such. Sometimes it’s really annoying, I know, but it’s in the core of my being and I really don’t know how to be different.
