smaz's long adventure: part 2 - levy fest

ok so anyway its been a day since the last one but fuck it, that was a hell of a night and i think i should share it with you guys
ok so anyway yesterday i went to a 'festa di leva' (literally levy party, its origins are in ww2) for this girl, angelica, (who calls me samu for some reason which is hilarious)
and whoah. i did not expect it to be like that at all

so anyway it was this big community hall full of sards in the town of dualche,  they are called bronzers or something like that
and they are like, the lad culture of sardinia. ok so maybe i said miei amici were but they sho as fuck aint compared to these guys. these guys carried around like knives and shit, and they were like, 'sam you know what this is right?' and i was like 'dude what the fuck dont like stab me haha' but cause i cant speak italian good enough it and also because i was very very confused it came out as 'cosa? non uccidami?' which means 'what? dont kill me' and anyway they were laughing at me and shit and it hurt my feelings ):
no but jokes aside those guys were cool guys but its a fuckin weird subculture, they only drink beer and wine and when i was like, 'back in australia everyone does vodka and rum' they were like, wtf. it was very tough not to drink or smoke or anything because everyone does it there and everyone was doing it and they were all like, 'sam have a beer!', but one of the rules of the exchange is 'no drinking, drugs, or smoking' so i didn't.
and they all had shaved hair and black jackets and the weird thing about it is, maybe because its such a small town or something or a close community but the age difference was immense, they were a group of tough cunts from the ages of 16 (...there was this one guy that looked so much like will mitchell) to 22 and it was pretty confusing and they all like hardstyle as well and they were like, 'haha you go to defcon 1?' and i was like, 'haha oi yeah ya tuff cunt it was fukken hektik ey' which they didnt get or understand but it was ok cause i really cant impersonate a lad at all.
nah but fuck they were great people except for this one guy who was a total dick and he was like, 'hahaha vadabidumanocu' (thats what sard sounds like) and id look at him and be all, 'cosa?' and he'd look at me and be all 'haha,,, "cosa?"' and he was a dick. and you know how theres always one or two kids who look like they dont belong in the subculture? yeah well there were some of those and i think they wanted to prove how much of tough cunts they were so they kept trying to come over to me and intimidate me and it was hilarious cause theyd hold out the knife and i'd just stare down at it and look at them and be like, 'ciao.' and they'd look up at me and then just sort of wander off. also there was this really tall guy who wasnt like that but he still hung out with them and he was cool.
and everyone kept coming up to me and being like, 'cangaru, cangaru' which is kangaroo in sard and i was like, yeah ok. and they tried to get me to say 'cangaru aminculu' and 'caballo aminculu' alot but its not actually hard to figure out what that means (caballo a min culu - horse in my ass - i get fucked my a horse)
and yeah, there was a point where they (and for a bit me too) all just kept running around the town being all like, 'hahaha ti piace correre' and i think the joke was that i looked stupid cause i run like a kangaroo or something but i didnt get it and so i was confused and they laughed at me for being confused. (that guy was a dick.) and i don't consider myself fit, but these guys were tired of running within like 5 minutes and it was hilarious cause they were trying to find a reason to laugh at me (btw the excuse they gave was that kangaroos run with their knees up really high or something which makes no fucking sense, but I don't think they'd ever seen a kangaroo so its ok)

but yeah, sards are really proud of their literacy rates which is really weird considering they are fucking dumb compared to australia. anyway like im sure i mentioned they only read the two genres. and they were like, 'in sard culture we like to read and read a lot' and i was like, 'you fuckers seriously aint smarter than australia' cause wtf I have this huge sense of aussie pride right now like, I;m so proud to call myself aussie, where did that come from? (I miss bacon. I think Imma cook myself a fried egg or 3 soon.) but yeah we engaged in some serious intellectual discourse and then i educated all over the pavement outside and everyone was like, 'dude...' [...meaning they didnt care] and georgia from my class was all 'hey sam, now is the time for water' [...which in the scheme of things doesnt make sense in this context] and i have a feeling she was really sort of dissapointed in me for being so smart. [...like maybe she was jealous or something.] and that would suck because my class has the coolest people in it, and I don't want them to think bad of me cause srs they are so coooollll... hdgioknadgbuhasidf but also apparently other people educated as well so its all good. they kept going on about how a sard tradition is to read a lot until they decided to impart their wisdom, but i just couldn't believe that.

and i was awake all night and got picked up at 6:30 am this morning and around 7:10 when we got home I went to sleep, and woke up at 4:00pm.
but now im kinda worried that i wont get to sleep enough tonight, its already 10 and i need to wake up at like 6 cause i have to walk myself to school tomorrow and I think I forgot the way. hmm. i worry too much.
also being here has made me realise how much I a) use things like and, but, also just to start sentences.
[[there's no b).]]

I prefer macomer to dualche though and I still miss boring old sydney. the charm of my lack of italian is sort of wearing off to the point that it's just frustrating now (for me) and I don't want to be the quiet kid but I'm sorta forced to be. also I wanna speak a bit of sard (even though all they ever say is 'aiu' which means 'come with me'.)

still miss you guys.
