About Mag
My housemate Mag is a strange man. Well, he is a German man. I don't know if that's what makes him strange. I suppose it's possible that he's both strange and German.

It's the way he starts conversations that makes me laugh. My ex housemate S has never quite got over her meeting with him 'Hey, I'm Mag. Come into my room.' Today's gambit was even better 'Wanna see a really big scar?' I did, and yes, it was large.

According to Mag, I am a big proponent of the 'English no' of 'Maybe'. I am also apparently a liar (Mag's opinion on Jesus "I love everybody!' Bullshit!!"). It seems Mag's favourite occupation is showing people photos of occasions that 1, they were not at, and 2, they know no one at. I have just emerged from such an experience with his holiday and party photos (surely some 200 total). Strangely, he seems to have some awareness of how dull this is - in answer to my 'There is nothing I'd rather do than look at your photographs, Mag' he came up with 'You are lying. There are lots of things you'd rather do than look at a lot of photographs of people you don't know or care about. It is very boring for you.' However, I still had to spend the next twenty minutes looking at them. Maybe I don't look like a girl with any better offers.
