Rantings
*Proof that Brady and Kev have horrible German (and therefore make their German friends think that all Amis can't speak German): German guy talks German to me (thinking I'm a Kraut as well), and when I see him again 20 minutes later he apologizes for thinking I'm a German and asks if I understood him. I give him a "duh, you dumbass" look and said, "I've been studying German for the past 7 years. Of course I understood you."
*The kids from Chicago who are here for a semester paid $400 total for the semester. We WMU kids paid upwards of $3500 for each semester. WTFOMGROFLCOPTERLHSAFPIDHGALFlkadjsihfalhsfpoiae!!!(#(#%@(#!!
*Rachelle complains about not seeing her fiance for 3 days. Well golly jee, at least Dean is on the same fuckin' continent!
*Just because I go to Highlander to get a cider and hang out with friends does not mean I'm going to get up and sing karaoke with you. You sound bad enough on your own without my horrible voice added to it. Or at least pick a good song. "Fuck her gently" by Tenacious D, for example, I can sing.
*Brady and Kev had a BBQ, but they left the major cleaning up and putting stuff away to me, Jeff (a Chicago kid who also lives in PHW) and some German guests.
*My friend Darcy's now ex-boyfriend called off their relationship yesterday due to stress from it being long-distance. What a wimp. Pardon me while I go punch him in the nose.
*Guys can pee standing up. You suck.

Troy gets to see Apocalyptica tonight. His brother works at the club where they're performing. *jealous*
I totally slept in today. Hooray for not having classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Started reading Ranma 1/2 again. There's some random website online that has all the manga scans. What's awkward is that this website also has Ranma 1/2 hentai. Awwwwwwwwwwkwaaaaaaaaaaaard.

I want to update, but there's not much to say.
I moved into my new place last week. It's like living in the dorms again, sorta. Except I get my own bathroom and don't have an RA. And still have to cook my meals unless I want to fork over the euros to eat food at the mensa (aka caf) that is as good as the caf food at Western.
I'm attempting to grow a bamboo plant. Buuuut I don't have the miraculous green thumb my mom has. I can only hope that some mutated form of a bamboo plant grows.
I'm taking a model UN class this semester and it is awesome. We get to go to a conference. I have to buy a suit. Bleck. My hair is transitioning back to a normal hair color for said conference and trying to find a job once I get back to the States. Boring hair color is boring. I miss my vibrant pink (although it is still pink...just pink and blond now).
Not looking forward to going to my German-English translation class in five minutes. The homework sentences we had were dumb and boring. I hate being called upon all the time because I'm a "native speaker".
Tried a new running route yesterday. New running route=epic fail. Too many people crowding up the sidewalk areas because of a bus stop. I'll just try again tomorrow. My legs are hurting because I haven't run in over a month. My awesome running muscles turned to squish.

I hate how some websites won't let me enter or give me that lovely little "problem loading page" error listing all because of my goddamn German network and German i.p. address.
I had my model UN class today. It's going to be freaking awesome. The professor is American and is hilarious. I actually spoke up in class today, which all of you who ever took a class with me should know that that's pretty amazing. I never speak in class more than I can stand it. Japanese classes are the exception. Damn shy genes.

Second week of classes has started for me. Hard to believe the semester (and college life) is almost over for Troy and some other friends back at Western. Next week is exam week for them. Poor kids. I'll be sending all of them happy psychic cookies. Lemme know when you have exams so I can send you all happy psychic cookies as well.
Read more..
Tomorrow are two art appreciation classes which are sure to be filled to the brim. If I don't get room/there isn't any room, no love is lost. I've already got a nice handful of classes to deal with over the semester.

Sooooo.....
Apparently I'm cool or something because I got voted onto the Council of 13 Fall 2008. Aka I'm a mod for Zombies vs. Humans for Fall 2008. Hoorays. It'll be strange not having Troy there with me. Silly boy graduating in a few weeks and leaving college life behind. Bah.
The new semester begins tomorrow, so I'll finally have a distraction from being separated again. In a few weeks I'll finally move out of this hell hole and not have to worry about crazy roommates again until September. Hooray!

Zombies vs Humans week.
Always a busy time, j0.
I'm a mod. We instigated some new rules this time around. The humans were yeller bellied cowards on Monday night. There's an objective tonight. I get to be a "device" technician. Aka a boom boom engineer. Excitement.
Not as much drama this time around....yet. Matt (code name: Bruce Campbell) the registration mod let the one person banned from the game register last night. Dun dun dunnnnn.

I saw daffodils today while running and thought of Rachel (because she loves daffodils).
Last week in Review with KT
Sunday: Ran a little longer than usual and smelled stinky before jumping into the shower. Finished an easy afghan and broke it in by falling asleep on it.
Monday: Went shopping and found awesome stuff. Bought Snatch auf Deutsch and watched it. Decree: Snatch is better in British English, although watching it auf Deutsch taught me many lovely German swears
Tuesday: Ran
Wednesday: Went ice skating with Rachelle in Bielefeld. I only fell down twice! Bought a Sin City graphic novel at the train station and had a fan girl moment
Thursday: Could not move. Limbs were stiff from ice skating. Took a bath and chatted with my landlady (who is awesome and I love her)
Friday: Did something, can't remember what though. Thought about the wars going on in the world and decided to convert to a nonviolent religion (although I'd secretly still be christian)
Saturday: Withdrew money at Sparkasse (damn American dollar is now worth fuck all compared to the Euro) and went grocery shopping at Rewe to get used to the different aisles (the apartment/room I'm moving into in May is right by Rewe). Ate pizza for dinner. It was good.
Bah, not really all that exciting-sounding for a week. This next week won't be much better until Friday.

Hooray! I've got another cousin! Her name is Addison Olivia and I think she was born yesterday. Yes, she was. She's a cutie already.
It's windy today and rained during the night. Only 13 more days until I'm on a plane and heading back to see my boy, friends, and family!

I got a package today! It was from my mom for that hearty day that nobody really celebrates over here in Germany. It was a nice surprise because I never get post except for the occasional advert. I have a monkey on one shoulder, Esel's brother Kotzi on the other, and Esel is on my head. Stylin', yo.

Andy and his band Epigram for Wallstreet played at some random church during the Superbowl. I'm so proud of him ^_^

Dear Die-ary,
Today I made Troy pick his nose over the webcam. My life is complete.
The end.

I took two exams today. Japanese and American Lit. Sigh. My two favorite classes are done. That makes me sad. Oh well, I'm going to take the next Japanese class next semester and want to find another class taught by the same professor who taught the American Lit class. Because he was awesome and was passionate about what he taught.
Rachelle and I went to Lidl to get groceries after the Ami Lit exam. We chatted about her parents' responses to her getting engaged 3 months into her new relationship with her British soldier boy toy. She keeps talking about wanting a long engagement (which to her is a year and a half) but not wanting to wait too long. I laugh. My friend Josh has been engaged since 2005 and won't get married until 2009. That's a long engagement.
Anyways, I got to see her ring and made some corny joke about the diamond only sparkles for her because of the love that she and Dean have for each other. Gag me with a spoon. I blame the head cold and nice cocktail of pills I've been taking for the past few days.
Going out for a drink tonight. My first bar trip since I turned 21. w00ts.
P.S. Jayne Cobb is awesome. And Firefly is shiny.

Ugh. Can't sleep. Nose full of boogers which would make Dave Barry proud. Must concentrate all energy on blowing nose a kajillion amount of times. Can't sleep with nostril blockage. Time to blow the nose again.

For all you people out there who like protesting/going to protests
There's going to be a protest/show of support for the KCHS drama department on February 29 from 4 pm until 7 pm at the Kalamazoo Central High School.
Why, you ask?
The Westboro Baptist Church (if you don't know who they are, just wiki them) will be protesting the high school production of "The Laramie Project" in Kalamazoo. Here's the event advertised on Facebook with more information.
I'd totally be there if I could. Alas, my plane flies in about 14 days too late.
