Souled Out!

  • so i'm supposed to write a skit in German about our class and we are presenting it to our amazing teacher next week. however, I can't think of anything. It needs to be funny and have a good punch line, but i can't think of anything. katrina wrote an entire song! it's really good too, rhymes and everything. it doesn't have to do with our class at all, but we'll work it in somehow. our teacher is really great. and i got my 11o Euros back today, so I splurged and bought a gelato Kugel. haha. but seriously, i needed that money.
  • my friend is coming tomorrow! I don't know him very well, in fact, i've only really talked to him at parties when i'm low but oh well, he is cool from what i remember, and he has been ueber nice on the phone. today, I called him, but (back story! he is German/American, moved back to Germany a week ago and is now living w/ his G-parents here), and it was his house phone, b/c he doesn't have a cell phone here. so this lady answers, and i'm surprised b/c i just assumed Gerrit would answer. so in my valley girl accent, i say "um, hi is Gerritt there?" and this German Grandmother starts talking a bunch in German. she is like "Gerrit??" and i'm like...yeah?? is this his house? and she says his first and last name, and i'm like yes! i'm call for him! it was so funny, and i litterally talked to her for like 5 minutes b/c i wasn't ready to anticipating speaking german and it's hard over the phone when there is a southern american speaking german to a southern german, two way different accents! haha. but it all worked out and i'm picking him up at the train station tomorrow! I get to show someone around berlin, aren't I fancy, hehe. i hope he likes my friends and vice versa. and hopefully we'll have enough to talk about because we don't really know each other. Also, i built up the courage and asked my host Frau if he could spend the night friday night (i don't know if he is planning on staying saturday night, but i think he is) and she seemed surprised and she said yes, but i don't think she really wants. him too. she was like "only one night? hmm okay" and i said "my friend" and i'm sure she thinks its a girl. she always asks about my friends at school (using the feminine plural) and in english she always refers to my friends as "girls." it's hard to explain, but i think she assumes i'm like a 12 year old and only plays with girls....which is half true, lol. anyways, i think it'll be a good weekend, OMFG, MY LAST WEEKEND! in berlin! SAD!!!!!
  • also, i am basically in LOVE with the flight of the conchords and i want to be from new Zealand. i love love love love LOVE Bret. BUT only when he has a beard, with out his beard, i just like him. haha. i really want to get HBO in order to watch this show all the time.
  • also, i just watched the new Conor Oberst music video here on MTV germany. omg, it's so good. i think he is going to become more main stream then when he was with bright eyes. this makes me sad though. there is a shirt i want at threadless.com that says, "i listen to bands that don't even exist yet" hahaha. i'm SO glad CO cut his hair and looks healthy again. i think his trip to mexico was good for him. and he is so hot. and he was wearing a bathing suit in one scene, and he has a little tattoo of a sail boat that has never been shown to the public before, i think now a zillion emo bright eyes fans are going to go get it. if i was into tattoos, i would. i really wish i had a sleeve of tattoos, just one. SO BAD, but only for like 5 years. i would never want it when i'm 30+.
  • also, my dad sent me an email saying he isn't sure he wants me to have a job in Seattle, WTF! he says that and rugby and school is too much. but mum told me i had to get one. they are so confusing! i want one though just to buy random shit like Tshirts, scarves, dvds, CDs, and posters. and trips to canada. i want to go to Quebec and visit my friend Charles and Serge.
