I have finally started my paper and in celebration of it, I am blogging. I'm a party animal, I know. Not much has happened since my last blog. I spent the night at Amos' again and I was told that I was crazy about 3,890 times. I used to hate sharing the bed with him but now I'm not used to sleeping in my own bed alone. Tonight and tomorrow night, however, we are breaking the cycle and sleeping in our own, respective quarters. My pillow doesn't know it yet but it's in for some MASSIVE SPOONING.

Michele is back from Thailand so we had dinner at Zak's to catch up. I always order chicken nuggets and fries. I really should expand my horizons but everyone knows if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If they had some kind of incentive like California Pizza Kitchen- where they tell you to order something new and if you don't like it, you can get your favorite pizza for free- then maybe I'd get a baguette or pasta.

You know your life is boring when you discuss meal options on your blog. =/ But I can't help it. I haven't had school for about a month and a half now and still have another month to go! I'm sure time will fly when I finally go on vacation and before I know it, the new semester will start, finish and I'll be back on a plane to San Francisco.

I HATE THIS PAPER. It's my fault though. I was supposed to start writing it February 10th... More than a month has passed and well, it's hardly done. I have til Sunday to finish it so Amos can correct it on Monday and I can turn it in on Tuesday. Then leave for Budapest! On Monday I kept saying to myself, "If I write 2 pages a day, I'll be done." Then 2 pages turned into 2.5, then 3 and now I'm at 3.5. I had planned to be all hardcore and spend hours upon end at the library but I spend the night at Amos' and we don't really sleep so I end up napping during the day and only spending like one or two hours at the library. I can't blame him though because I'm the one who keeps us up. I'm wearing the poor guy out who also has his own stuff to take care of.

Instead of staying home and writing about the debates over the West Germany's memory of the Holocaust in 1949, I went out to a bar in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. I actually left early but now I have drunk munchies and am contemplating cleaning my room. I have such a lack of motivation.

I've recently become obsessed with underwear. I've bought 12 pairs in the past two weeks. o_O I've also discovered a love for men's boxers. They're only 3 euros for cotton ones at this one department store and they're soooooo comfy. They remind me of my UC Davis booty shorts. And to think, I paid $13 for those!

I am typing crap.

I am STRUGGLING.

Today after an unsuccessful trip to the library, I stopped by the supermarket to get some chocolate chip cookies because well, my visitor is here and it's no holds barred when it comes to sweets. The line was ridiculously long today and while I was waiting I took notice of what other people were buying. The guy in front of me bought duplo bars, the woman in front of him bought a box of chocolates, the woman in front of her bought Harbio gummies and the guy in front of her bought a Milka bar! WOW! How is it that I can be in sync with four people in Penny Markt but not my friends who are near and dear to me?

Last night Cindy, Vivian and I went to the Deutsches Theater to see a production of Lord of the Flies. I was really tired from last night and there was a lot of screaming so I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would've. The characters didn't seem too much like they were in the book.

Here's a funny little anecdote:
We went to the bathroom before the play and on our way out some guy walks in. Vivian says, "Uhhh..." and points at him. Then I say, "Uhhh... This is the women's bathroom!" He keeps walking and Vivian says, "WARTEN!" which means wait in German and the fool just laughs at us. We left the bathroom not knowing his intentions.

Anyway, here are some pictures.

I've been watching a lot more German television lately. You know how late at night they show commercials for phone sex operators and they show sexy women with lingerie saying, "What's on your mind, baby?" Well, they have them here as well except the women aren't wearing lingerie... They actually censor the southern regions of the women by pixelating them. One of the commercials read, "Von hinten" over some woman's butt. Von hinten means from behind. Germans are nasty, I tell ya! Amos calls me a hypocrite because I cover my eyes during these commercials yet I always bug him for action. Well excuse me if I'd prefer to see him naked over some random chick on tv...

I lied, I have NO self-control.

Lent has been going on for about a week now. Here is a little update on how I'm doing.

Cussing: The f-word just comes out so naturally out of my mouth. I was doing pretty bad the first couple of days but now I'd say I cuss at most 5x a day and it'll only be a matter of days before it goes down to zero.

Soda: I had a Sprite once at this baguette joint but I figure, there's no caffeine so it's not that bad. I've given up soda in the past and it wasn't that difficult but lately I've had CRAZY cravings for coke.

Sex: Came close to breaking it over the weekend BUT I believe I have the self-control to stick it out til April 9th. haha

These plastered pics of Jake Gyllenhaal just make me love him even more. I'd party with him any day.

I've been doing everything possible to prevent me from reading "Niemand ist frei von der Geschichte" by Helmut Dubiel. They're analyses of the debates of the German government. Interesting read, I know. This paper has been hanging over my head for a month now. My goal was to turn it in by the end of February but that didn't really happen. I mean, I have much more pressing matters to attend to such as rearranging my sock drawer and watching episodes of Sex and the City that I've seen at least five times already.

Today I bought air freshener which I thought smelled so good at the store. I brought it home and had an air freshener bonanza. Then I read the label and it says "WC-Frische". WC stands for water closet which according to the Germans is the bathroom. =/ Now my room smells like a fresh bathroom.

Last Wednesday I called my sister drunk asking her about my tax return and you know what she did?! She snitched on me and told my mom! Now my mom thinks I spend all my money on booze and clubbing. I'll have her know, the last time I went to a club was three weeks ago and that had been the first time since October. So there! Popular to contrary belief, I'm really tame...

There's so much drama on this couch right now, it's like a drama couch.

Happy 27th Birthday Markus! =)

I've been on a country music spree lately. I got the latest Kenny Chesney, Brooks and Dunn and Gretchen Wilson albums. I've decided to blast it super loud ever since I found out my neighbor blasts his techno garbage at 830am. Fair's fair.

Dude, I'm not good at anything...

Happy National Pancake Day! Since we were unable to take advantage of the free shortstacks at IHOP we decided to take matters into our own hands and have a pancake extravaganza. We made about five different kinds of pancakes. We had pancakes coming out of our ears! I made Roti Canai because I was craving it sooooo bad and they turned out surprisingly well. The curry sauce wasn't that great though because I just bought some bottled Uncle Ben's crap.

That's not the actual one I made but that's just a visual for those of you who don't know what Roti Canai is.

Vivian and I had been lagging on returning the beer bottles from Michele's party back to the liquor store for money so we finally decided to get off our procrastinating asses and do it. There were actually a couple of beers left unopened and we thought it'd be best if we pounded them to get the complete 3.10 euros back for the case which led to our drunkeness at 1pm. So we carried two cases of empty beer bottles in the snow drunk. They might've been empty but that shit was still heavy.

I actually didn't think it was bad the first time when I had bought the case filled with beer. That was probably because it was Amos who carried it and not me.

After the liquor store we went to Real, the closest thing to America in Göttingen. It's like Super Wal*Mart or something. Searching for ingredients drunk in a large store = chaos. We also got easily distracted by their bedsheets and lingerie. Luckily, we made it out in one peace and everything was A-Okay.

I've been in a really good mood. I got an A in a class where I looked like this every day- O_o. In celebration of my unwarranted good grade, I went to H+M and bought a bunch of cute stuff. AND there was no late fee for this book I had turned in late to the library. Lots of other good things have happened but they're little and you probably wouldn't care to read them anyway. I've decided to stop bending myself out of shape over trivial matters and just dance in my underwear and be happy.

Lent has officially begun. It's going to be a long Lentin season but if Jesus can suffer for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert and make it out alive, I can deal sans the things I've decided to give up as well.
