Missin you like a junkie misses their last hit.

Things We Say:

Alyssa, where are my shoes? I know Gingers steal soles.--Josh.
I like plays on words like this.  They make me giggle.  In all seriousness, gingers steal souls for dinner.


Maturing is realizing it is better for you financially to not do fun things.--Me
I meant partying, drinking, going out, shopping, movie attending, eating dinner, eating fast food.

The things that cost the least always end up being the most fun, like sex.--Curtis
This isn't necessarily true, but still funny nonetheless.  

Hey now, my driving record is bad, but my parking record is still spotless--Me
Yes, I went there. 


According to the evolutionary account, men tend to want more sexual partners, and are neither faithful nor picky about the women with whome they mate. This approach to life ...is sometimes called the Dark Triad: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism*" scrolls to *: the colloquial term for men like this is "jerks".--My Psychology of Personalities Textbook.
This stems from a facebook status of a friend's arguing about Men Vs. Women.  What was funny was a week later I read this line in my textbook.  I also found it funny that "jerk" had an "ism."


It's ok.  I don't mind that people didn't do what I told them to in the two weeks I was gone, because then when I come back, and I have a ton of work to do, I just finish it in one day and make them look bad.--Me
Anyone who works at a typical nine-to-five job understands how frustrating it can be to go on vacation.  Afterall, you leave, and no one covers you, and then you are two weeks behind on work.  But, I try to take it as a compliment. They can't do a job that takes me 20-40 minutes, in nearly two weeks.  


Helauch! (Pronounced, hail-ouch)--Me
Have you ever been at a parade and have the people throw things at you? How about shot bottles, and hard cough drops? Or bread? Yeah, welcome to Fasching parades, where you scream Helau to get whatever they are throwing.  Be careful though, it may just be a fricken glass bottle. See picture below (those are mystery and plum liqours)

It's 9am and I've applied for 7 jobs already. I've really enjoyed this month off but its time to get back in the game. I'm gonna lie on my resume so if any of you get a call I was your best employee. I can't depend on my looks anymore.--My cousin Jeremy
this just made me LOL. 

Blurb My Brain:

So this week is Fasching, otherwise known as Carneval or Mardi Gras.  In Germany, Fasching is one giant Halloween party, with a week long excuse to drink.  It is expected you sin as much as you can the week before, and then go to confession on Ash Wednesday when Lent actually starts.  Last year I was drunk the whole week.  This year I only went out on Friday, and didn't even go to Fasching.  I celebrated it on Sunday at the parade, but not anything like most people.  I didn't have but one shot over a 5 hour time frame.  It was fun, but being a responsible student sucks! I went home after the parade to do my homework, but failed miserably.  Didn't help that I had the deadline wrong.



I don't know what I was thinking by taking three upperlevel classes this term.  I'm dying a slow and horriffic death.  Too much reading, too much homework.  Not enough time.  I think next term I am only taking 2 classes, although I can take only one.  I'm still obviously debating this.

I have officially gone one week without my boyfriend in Korea.  It has been difficult.  I miss the little things, like texting him throughout the day.  I also missing calling him up for a "situation report" as he calls it, which is actually me just calling to hear his voice.  I am missing the chance to just go to lunch with him.  It was hard to go out to the Fasching festivities and have all the guys ogling over my costume, and not return to my boyfriend's house for a little relief in anger. It's all little things, but it's been a difficult adjustment.  I think we have a pretty good system though, even though 8 hours time difference is crazy.  I guess I'm just here begging for your prayers and support. :/ I started every sentence with I in this paragraph.

Featured Randoms:
If you haven't already known, I follow Ray William Johnson on Youtube, and he has this side project called Your Favorite Martian. He animates songs he made up, and finds funny.  You should check it out.  

Also, a friend posted an article entitled "5 Ridiculous Things You Probably believe about Islam" which is about the Muslims and American misconceptions of said Muslims.  I thought it was not only a fantastically written piece, but it had just enough sarcasm to make me chuckle.  Thanks Matt. :)
