aw and it's Holger's Geburtstag!

aw hahaha

HOLGER

he's so cool, no one understands. Emily totally would though. awww he's so...Holgerish! i want to put a picture on here. heck, i want to take a picture. haha but we all sat outside and had a "german bbq" and then josephine and i made SMORES! it was sooooooo fun! man, and no one had ever heard of them before except for one of holger's friends who spent 6 months in the US being a camp counselor. WOAH. so i brought the smore world to Deutschland, and everyone liked them.

and i got a handy. it's oh so cute. (pshaw, handy= german for cell phone)

but peter told me your "status" in the school is all about the cell phone. like its really cool to have the newest trendiest cell phone, then you're automatically cooler than you would be otherwise. weird, no? i think so...but uhoh, i don't know if my 19 euro handy's going to do the trick.

i love wearing skirts, i decided
and i love the fact that nothings going on on sundays
and i love the fact that holger bought a new vacuum cleaner 2 weeks ago, and tonight he made sure that everyone had seen it, and the people who hadn't seen it yet, he took inside to show them the new vacuum
and i love the fact that we eat the big meals for lunch, rather than dinner and we eat bread for dinner, but it's not called bread, it's called "AbendBrot"
and ilove the fact that if you add an -en- to a noun, it becomes a verb. i.e= Fruehstuck becomes Fruehbstucken! (aka the word breakfast becomes a verb...breakfasting? hahahahahahahHAHA)
and i love the fact that i had champaign at 10 45 in the morning
and i love the fact that holger got a birthday card with an im-so-incredibly-almost-naked-woman on it, and it got me thinking, what if that were you on the card, and someone gave the card to your brother for his birthday, not knowing that it was the sister on the card, haha that would be weird.
and i love the fact that last night i watched the same exact movie two times in a row, with toast inbetween the runs, and i totally loved it, and wouldn't change ANYTHING at all about my friday night
and i love that i'll be in berlin in less than 48 hours
and i love the fact that i know a guy named Ecke (that's german for corner, haha) and he showed me pictures of his motorcycle tour
and i love the fact that there's a politically incorrect chocolate here in minden
and most of all i love the fact that i'm actually loving something right now and not really feeling the least bit misterable.
and i love the fact that probably nobody but mumsiedearest read this far, but who cares? because i'm feelin good about germany right now, and yay, it's been a while since i've actually felt good about it all and really enjoyed it. but i really really enjoyed tonight, just sitting there, not really even talking, but i did enjoy SO much observing everyone and laughing at so many random things that only i thought was funny and that no one else in the world would probably think funny but i laughed out loud anyway....

oh this is so long, but who cares? unless something incredibly crazy happens tomorrow, this is my last entry until i'm home from Berlin, so this ONE BLOG has to last you a week and a few extra days! GOOD LUCK. haha until i return!!! YAY
