For all of you who may have interpreted yesterday's post as me being depressed about Germany, I'd just like to add that Juliana picked up on my mood and I am now eating a heart-shaped chocolate cookie/biscuit-thing as big as my face.

Almost as good as all the hugs I got yesterday. Thank you all.

I am back from Crete, but don't have loads of time to post before deutsch class, so I'll just say this: who among you thought I was joking about being hit by a freak falling sheep?

So did I, until this: I was walking back from the beach one night, this is through a thin valley, and I heard the distictive sheep bell and baaaa. So I look around and around, no sheep. I look up (and up and up) at the sheer mountain cliff-face above me until the curiously jutting rock resolves into omg it's a sheep it's going to fall on me.

Yes, a flock of sheep gamboling around the mountainside , completely ignoring the gravity of the situation. And now I'm late, so αντίο!

Edit: On the subject of sheep, there is now a flock in the front yard. Why? whyyyy. I can hear them baaaing from here. (I need a sheep icon to encompass all things sheep. -_-°°)

Definitely the worst bit of culture shock so far was walking into the Deutsch McDonald's.

I'm never going to go into an American Mickey D's again without throwing a fit at the lack of Schokobällchen. *sulks*

I would just like to ask all of you who I had just managed to get posting on LJ, and then who jumped ship to Mare's Nest or your own affiliatedsite: Please, please, PLEASE crosspost to lj??? I don't always have time to go to each and every one of your sites; that's what made the flist so awesome.

I would just like to thank:

K M, aka Boozy Metalsinger. I have the best best friend in the world, and she's all mine. *clings to Boozy* If she were a boy.....

Also, thank you Bonamy for helping me hack myself admin privileges (before you buggered off to sleep on me -_-;;;); that now allows me to draw on mare's nest!
But as is quite typical, now I suddenly have no inspiration. So: ( What shall I draw? )

In other news, my hands smell like cat food. and mom reaaaaally wants to pay 10$ to buy me iconage spaaaaace *hypnotizes* you are getting very generous...you are getting veeery generous....

CAPTAIN MULLET! He's alarming
Got a mullet You should take as warning
No one wants to Look like he does
Blue skin with green fuzz- and that spandex! You're radioactive, Captain Mullet!
Don't be his fashion peers, Whatever else you do;
The 80's were plenty On the first time through.
Then the early 90's Were much the same
So learn from Captain Mullet's Regretful fame
'Wear Mullets No More!'


Dic.









As a side side note, I can now animate icons. So if you have any cool pics/ideas...

From thalo_ryder's post, I was linked to this website:
Genpets.com - Bioengineered Buddies!!


I left this comment:

*horrified*

Thank God this is a gag. Live creatures that are packaged in plastic and set on store shelves? And the restraints??!

"Genpets™ have limited mobility. Like dolls, puppies or human babies, they must be looked after and cared for. Upon waking from its dormant state the Genpet™ will immediately bond or imprint to your child."

wtf. Here, buy a baby that we made- but it has animal genes, to it's okay to treat it like a pet. wtf? And their personalities are color-coded!

It's sad to think that though this is fake, there are companies like Allerca which are already selling bioengineered pets.

Sure, it's great that now people like Ame can own a cat, but then where does it stop? This is a very slippery slope, A Very Slippery Slope.

Ugh. I'm linking to this in my eljay.

And it is sad to me that most people's reactions to this is disgust...and then a compulsion to buy it. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Yes, yes it is a horrifying idea. At least to me. And yes, according to Adam Brandjes, he gets a positive reaction from teens and resellers. Ugh. He says it better than I do.


But I know that I'm not your typical Millenial teen,- and my opinion hardly is the norm. So tell me what you think of this satire in art, and don't be afraid to say you'd buy one!


Also.

Let's celebrate walls coming down. Let's celebrate the breaking down of hatred. Let's celebrate the reunion of family, of country, of freedom. Let's celebrate wheat bread and the ability to say what you think without....disappearing. Let's celebrate the end of conflict and the beginning of a new journey to find the Philosopher's Stone. Let's celebrate October 3!

OMG, tosatisfyme, this one's for you.

I was in church this morning for Dankfest or some such, but seriously, it was all I could do not to crack up laughing because it was exactly like that Rowan Atkinson skit. The Hallelu----ja-luuuu-ja....luuuuuujaaaaa well you know what I'm talking about. Up, down, what's going on. Only in German.

My cheek is still sore from biting it so hard.



In other news, my skin is burning with bee poison. Maybe you don't know that the Schmeidgens are honey farmers. Well, they are. And Jürgen sees his Honig the way that guy from My Big Fat Greek Wedding saw Windex. So yes, I put honey in my coffee, spread it on my bread, eat a spoonful of this incredibly stong-tasting honey+something-else 'medicine' when I'm sick, and so yes, right now all my scars are burning from bee poison. Because there's this cream and I didn't run away fast enough.

I have a cold, and Juliana's mad at me because it's my fault it really is though. *sheepish*

Also I seem to be everyone's sick muse lately! Once I get Boozy writing again, my life will be complete.

One final note: on my site, the posts that are password protected are so because they contain yaoi (or other content my mother some might consider disturbing). The English fic term for this is the password. No, there's nothing citrus-y or NC-17.


(also mom don't hate me. I'm a good girl really.)

Please take my ( very important poll. )

So, which is it?? London or Rome??

I've never seen mist so thick. And because of the landscape, not only does it look like if you stray too far from the road you'll fall off the edge of the world and be lost forever, but you really can. Fall off, I mean. Sudden cliffs were never a danger in Silent Hill! IT never taught me how to handle this! Zombies, yes (die messily); cliffs, no (also die messily)!!! Thanks for nothing, Silent Hill!!


Yesterday was (besides International Talk Like A Pirate Day) a Day Out With Class 10b. We all went to the Kino, and saw 'Das Parfum' (English title 'Perfume', I think).

It is an English-made movie (starring Ben Whishaw, Dustin Hoffman, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Alan Rickman), based off a German book. And let me tell you it is very German.

It's about this guy who has like this supersensitive nose, because he is born without an aroma of his own. At one point he meets this girl who has an amazing scent, and accidentally kills her. He becomes obsessed with reproducing her smell, so he becomes a perfumist. And then starts killing girls to try to reproduce this beautiful smell. Then he gets caught.

( Cut for Spoilers )

( Avoid the Spoiler. )
I had an interesting moment when I mentioned Riley- Sandra asked me if he was my boyfriend, and without thinking I said, 'Ne, he's gay.' Unique silence settled around like the morning mist, there. XD
They all seem surprised that, yes I consider myself a Protestant Christian, yes, my best friend is Catholic, no I don't care, yes my other best friend is gay, no it doesn't bother me, and to top it all off he's a Wiccan and I don't care about that either, and did you know I have a gay communist Buddhist friend as well? What do you think of that, eh? Some of my friends are completely atheists! *shock* and *alarm*, you say...? Good ol' USA.

SO ladies and gents, did you enjoy International Talk Like A Pirate Day?? YOU DIDN'T CELEBRATE IT??? Bei Stoertebeckers Bart, über die Planke schicken!

You Leichtmatrosen, you don't even know to avoid the Klabautermann! (As you can see, I celebrated like a good German pirate. And everyone asked me why I 'spoke' in plattdeutsch (Hamburg accent. XD)

Also I thought I'd note that today I can report a successful Malfoy sighting! (yey.)

And in closing, good bye, Godspeed und immer eine steife Brise!

*wanders off singing* Ich hebb mol en Hamburger Feermaster sehn Tomyhoooooday, tomyhoooooday, de Masten so schiep as dem Schiffer sein Bein Tomyhoooooday hodayhoooooh...
