Astrid & Her Amazing “I Just Don’t Like It” – Adventure

You can ask Astrid anything and she does not mind.



Ask her about the time she let out a giant burp in a cave, the time she went out swimming and nearly lost her bottom-part, the time she ran into a fence with full body-weight, even though it was a very visible one, but NEVER EVER ask Astrid where she is from! Astrid might just not appreciate that.



When Astrid just moved to the UK, she loved it when people would ask her where she was from. She played all sorts of tricks and games with everyone; she would pretend to be a windmill, an Edam cheese, or a joint, it was all good. Now when people ask Astrid where she is from, she just answers the name of the town she lives in and then people go: “Really?” and then Astrid says: “No, not really.”



So when Astrid was out in the big city of London with her friends the other day and this lady came up to Astrid and her friends and completely ignored Astrid’s friends and just poked Astrid right into the face, Astrid’s friends feared the worst and were truly afraid “the question” might just come up. However, the opposite was true. The lady was a scout and argued Astrid should be on television. So she took her number and her picture.



Back in her home-town Astrid went to buy a jar of honey in an off-licence-shop. Astrid had her music on and was fully enjoying it when a man stood next to her and said: “Poland.” Astrid removed her head-phones and said: “Sorry?” The man then closely absorbed Astrid and said: “Czech Republic.” Astrid then ran to the counter, left the change, and took her jar of honey home.

    Of course she could just have been a mentalist.

    Anyway, that lady is behind the times. I've already made the case to Nickelodean for an Astrid-based cartoon series.

    I really get tired of telling people where I'm from too. I get responses like: "Really, I have a friend in Alaska", "Do the polar bears chase you", "Where is that?", and my favorite, "No, where are you from really".

    Well hopefully you're not from California. Everyone hates people from California. It gets old.

    Of course you should be in television - you're extremely charismatic and perfectly symmetrical.

    And what great tunes did the man interrupt on the headphones?

    Was it some more Mraz?
