Silvester sucks. No, the Silvester I am talking about is not a cat. In Germany, where I live, New Year's Eve is called Silvester. And where I live it is legal to shoot off fireworks anywhere you want to on Silvester. The people who do it don't go in for your firecrackers and bottle rockets. Oh no, the smallest thing they light off here is roman candles. Our apartment is on a very narrow street that only one car at a time can pass on. Right down underneath our window on the street last night, the drunk idiots started their explosions at 7:30pm. It didn't stop until 5:00am. It is so loud and scary. Sillymom sat with me for hours telling me stories and singing for me. She and papa stayed home so I wouldn't be by myself through that. Even today, it is still happening. I was out from under the bed enjoying the peace and safety I felt today and then sure enough, right outside our apartment, there are some bad people lighting off more today. Papa is not home now so it's me and sillymom. I guess we'll go sit and tell more stories now. I hope all of my friends had a good new year's eve. And a happy 2008 to all!

Love,
Paula
