For those writers out there (that includes you boozy), a challenge for you. Write something inspired by Enya's May It Be- be it gen, slash, X-Men, HP, original, songfic....whatever. Anything. Dooo itt. You writers have no idea how frustrating it is to be inspired an unable to express it.


( The Lyrics... )

If it's short enough, go ahead and spam my comments =D

Okay so I was all set that I hate public transportation. It's smelly, hot, crowded, and little kids are worse plague carriers than rats.

Then today I fell into the hottest man in Germany. If Billie Joe Armstrong and Elijah Wood had a kid it would be this man.

I ♥ public transportation.

'The Amusing Conversation Re: English Words In German.'
( Cut for Crude Language. (Promising start.) )

An annoying German custom is that, upon entering a room full of people, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM must recieve a handshake and greeting before you can sit down. What the hell. *hides*

There's a passage in Pterry describing noon in Ankh-Morprok- the particular quality of many, many churches, all with their own version of 12:00, ringing the hour. Something similar occurs here (only without Old Tom's great tolling silences, unfortunately.) It's lie that, until only one solemm bell is tolling out the hour, five minutes after the first started. And they're supposed to be accurate clockmakers around here. Maybe we're too far from Switzerland. You can't really imagine the cacophony involved in four or five little town church belss bouncing throught the mountains, and I can't see why you would want to. Thankfully it only seems to happen on Saturdays (search me. No clue).

In other news, I saw a girl with a HanaKimi bag at school. YES!! There are otaku in the building! Now I just have to track her down again (she's not in my class) and hope she understands Gesticulate.

I would have much to say on the subject of assigned seating and the Sun. In. My. Eyes. However Aaaargh pretty much sums it up.

Also: AP Lit-ers, you won't believe what's in my Deutsche book: "Der Tod des Handlungsreisenden." For those of you who don't spreche die Muttersprache, I was flipping through when suddenly I saw

WILLY springt zurück, schreit: Ha! Howard! Howard! Howard!
HOWARD: Was ist los?
WILLY: Stellen Sie das ab! Stellen Sie das ab!
HOWARD: Hören Sie, Willy...
WILLY: Ich brauch 'n Kaffee. Ich brauch 'n Kaffee.

Luckily it's only an excerpt, because as much as I liked the play and as much as the movie amused me, I don't want to go through it again! (There is also 'Romeo and Julia' in the book. lolz.)


Today:
I am amazed at the deutsche kids. We were supposed to be looking at this one website in class, and-- now, I know for some of you this may be hard to hear, if you're a sensitive person you may not want to read such a horrible thing, and I know it will be hard to believe but it's true, true I tell you-- they all actually were. No extraneous windows at all. No, really, it's true. And the worst, nay, the most frightening thing of all is that the oppressive aura of this proper-and-rule-abiding country has its own morphogenic field affecting me so that verily, neither did I.

Don't judge me. I am not grotesque! Please try to overcome your horror, okay? (Actually it was more because I was afraid the teacher was monitoring my screen with his mad Vulcan Mind-Meld™ Brainwashing technique Big-Brother-esque connection program Of Doom.




You will be assimilated. Resistance is useless.

*runs from the Borg*

If there is one or more people on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.


The Language of Silverware: If you put your fork and knife on opposing sides of the plate, it means you're still hungry. If you put them both on the right, it means you're finished. If you put them both on the left, it means you didn't like the meal.

( The Laws of Anime )

What a find that was.

School: incomprehesible. Yay for maths I've done already. Not yay for gym teacher with a mullet who looks like Patrick Swayze (this is a Very Bad Thing...I'm talking about a woman.)

But is Sport we played a kind of Prisonball, how fun is that? Except no bowling pins. And the gym is tiiiiny. (In History we're learning about Hitler.)

In other news, I have drawn a smexy man, a zombie marionette, and a conversation between angel and demon concerning the gavotte and small metal fasteners. (I think the smexy man is my favorite. Who here is surprised?)

Two more things:

1) Everyone reading this needs to bug Riley to get a LJ (that he friggin updates!)

2) That 391€ I was supposed to use to buy insurance? Can I buy an iPod instead? (I ♥ my Rotary Club.)

( Okay, yesterday was the Rotary meeting. )

This whole town is 500 years old. That's older than America. Am I strange for being a little awed?

And Sara, I don't know if you ever got around to playing Shadow of Memories, but if you did, that town square? I live there.

Man that was a good game. Ahh, homunculi. There's just something about Germany and Alchemy. They get along like a house on fire, eh?

And ahh, Germany, land of obscene chocolate. Also they have Koala's March, though it's called Koala Kakao and they pretend it's German. (I like this tradition they have here, schoolchilderen starting school get this inverted paper cone full of candy. Mmmm. (Not the obsence kind. The kiddie-kind, on the next shelf over)).

PS. Imagine a cross between Mrs. O and Molly Weasley. I met her today, and hope I never do again. Especially because she was so nice. *terrified*

PPS. Also, Boozy, haha, Juliana thought I was pulling her leg with your last name. But what's cool? It means Metal (Messing) Song (schlager). So boozy metalsinger, bleiben du gold.


ONE LAST THING: Anyone who somehow sends me Panic! At The Disco (email, whatever, I don't care how) will be forever in my gratitude. I mean like first born child here. I really really really need something English to listen to other than the BeeGees, the Backstreet Boys, and Elton John's Circle of Life over and over and over again. Circe of Life? More like Circle of INSANITY!! (Triangle of confusion, rhombus of terror, parabola of mystery!) Plz to be avada kedavra-ing me now.


EDIT (23:22): Man, I'm stupid, I forgot my main reason for posting. I have math, French, history, geography, German, art, music, English, Ethics/Religion, Sports, Latin, social studies, bio and physics. And I'm sure I'm forgetting something. *headdesk* Block scheduling, egh. Let's kill the British while we're at it (sorry, Beata.) I'll post the details later if anyone cares about the minutae.

Double Religion on Fridays, ugh. And art and music are only on Wednesdays *sad* And learning French and Latin THROUGH German= as fun as riding a hedgehog. (I am looking forward to French and Latin though. I mean, how cool! I love language.)

EDIT the Second (23:47): I forgot to mention that our doorbell is Yankee-Doodle. *cracks up*

It's raining here....

...


...Here in Elk Rapids!

Yes, you read that right. I decided not to go to Germany after all.

Just kidding. As is typical of my life, my first flight was delayed so I would miss my connecting flight to Frankfurt. So here I am trying to fly out today. With the thunderstorms and the flight attendant strike 'walk-out' at ten tonight. Thankfully they cannot walk off a plane three thousand miles in the air (or they can, but are not quite that dedicated to their cause).

So I will try to post again tomorrow, hopefully from Deutschland this time. (Where it is also raining.)

Death thought about it.

I ♥ Boozy. Just thought I'd share that with you all. ♥ ♥ ♥.

Also, Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series. I ♥ that too. Recommended by me (though not as highly as Terry Pratchett. oh you Discworld virgins, I pity you.)

The thunder here's shaking the house, haha.
