as someone who translates from a language that only has one word for each of these things you kind of have to know.

My host family got back on Monday. I randomly ran into a friend today and they told me I looked tired. My response? I work A LOT.

also dealing with a little boy is kind of hard for me especially one that is kind of (or really) spoiled (if my host family some how reads this...I'm totally kidding please don't send me home)

Erk shows a lot of tendencies towards aggression his games include a lot of corporal punishment and he totally hit a little boy at the park at the other day...I don't understand this, just like I don't understand the total lack of desire to share. bah.

well locked out.

yesterday I spent a wonderful day outside and also went to the staatsgalarie which is free on Wednesday and Sundays

even though I took a nap outside and burnt my face a bit it was truly lovely

when I came home I went to check the mail, completely emptying my bag in order to find my key.

which wasn't there.

So I had to call my host mom who called the maid that has a key who was going to come by in 2 and a half hours to let me in. In the mean time I retraced my steps to see if I could find it along the way but pretty sure I just left it inside.

After a lot of fun that included going to a tanning salon to use the bathroom I got back in the house and the key was here THANK GOODNESS

RANT

This was going to be at the bottom of my last post but I felt like it was getting too long. Also for those of you that may not be member you may not understand all I am about to say but you should know that missionaries are good and they do righteous work and I am sure it's very hard to go so long in a monk-like existence. yes that was a disclaimer.

My dear internets something that you may not know about me [even after all this time] is that for some reason missionaries like to flirt with me. This doesn't differ from the general rule that boys flirt with me but don't date me...there are theories on that but lets not discuss them.

This should possibly not bother me but it does. I've had friends tell me well don't be a temptation blah blah blah. yes ok I do that. I sit by people in church so the whole stake conference somehow sitting by 10 elders doesn't happen again. And generally I don't seek them out to talk to them.

But here's the thing. I'm nice. I'm also flirty. They are still 19-21 year old boys.

Here it's kind of understandable cause I speak English yadayadayada. but still.

Like the elders from the American ward I happened across as I was walking and one of them told me his first name....not really a big deal but I like to have the feeling of being professional. Also him and his companion keep telling me I should go to their ward.

In light of next year I should probably figure out how to make this stop. Maybe being older will help cause I can't just be mean....

Rant over back to your normal activities and scheduled blogging.

follow-up

IF you dislike those entries that make you roll your eyes and remember that I am just a whiny teen-aged girl....you probably won't like this one

So I spent my Sunday afternoon reading MBP

ja ja get over yourselves--I mean as a kid my family spent Sunday evening watching wonderful world of disney on abc and eating ice cream and popcorn for dinner....beats all the fancy dinners Ive ever had.

But anyway for some reason I love this blog.

Perhaps because of several open guy friends I already know boys think like this.

Maybe its because I hate to date.

Maybe because I'm no longer in Utah and don't have to put up with these sort of things.

But here are my thoughts on this blog

THE WRITERS:

two typical mormon RM's...that live in Utah.

yes they are typical.

the fact that no one knows who they are makes them honest

and brave(kind of like missionaries...more on that later)

Their fake names are Jake and Calvin(LOVE that he uses calvin's picture). Not sure which one I like more...it changes

depends which one is being more whiny//idiotic at the moment. Honestly both are pretty funny. But as far as I can tell like most boys they are probably more talk than walk in real life.

I notice they on occasion describe people in a Seinfeld like way--decided this is a boy thing

(my ex and his roommates consistently did this as well.)

And if you read this and think they're pigs....what type of things do you think when you are all alone

generally I like them they don't judge much and think text talk is idiotic

they are very Utah though....

also the most obsessive bloggers...I find this humorous.

THE CONCEPT:

this blog honestly embodies much of what I disliked about byu.

in a hilarious and sarcastic type of way

It shows a lot of the culture I actually want to show it to some of my friends here and say see!

this this is why I left

and its not their comments or their rating or any of that

its the expectation of dating, its singles wards,

I'll be honest I'm entertained as hell...it's drama that's real but I don't have to deal with

would these people be pissed off if they knew they were being written about....probably

I wouldn't be I mean nothings really that intimate.

but you know girls...they freak out.

THE REACTION:

First I almost miss BYU cause of all the CRAZINESS

but then I remember being there makes me feel crazy...

seriously boys don't ask me out--there it makes you feel like a leper

here it means I'm nineteen, don't drink, and am american.

sister missionaries--ok I know a lot of good looking not crazy women that go on missions.

like my 2 roommates from last year

or all the girls from my study abroad

and one reason they may not be married yet is they're shy

or wanted to go on a mission

as for me...I'm crazy

and something they need to learn out there in the Bubble.

YOU DON'T NEED TO GET MARRIED SO YOUNG

nothing wrong with either way I have 2 friends that are 20 getting married in the next few weeks and I wish them well and know they will be happy for eternity

I also know girls mid-late twenties not married yet nothing wrong with that

you have to meet the right person and you have to be ready to settle down.

Notes if they read this:

stop tanning...its not hot if its fake and you'll get cancer'

go ahead and rate me you can even tell me if you want

since I'm the only one who ever doesn't think I'm pretty

I'm 5'3" ish about 123 lbs or so (yeah I feel so fat right now:P)

its all the german chocolate

oh and sorry If you take offense to any of my comments... you're not supposed to

my refusal to be in pictures means there isn't many that show all of me...this one I didn't know was being taken

and heres the face. These are not only so these guys can see who is talking about them but for anyone who doesn't know me but would like to see who this whiny girl is that writes this blog. And so my family can see I haven't died out here in Deutschland. Also you can see that my hair is getting "hella" long again(hanging out with too many Californians)

I actually hope they don't notice me...cause that's more people reading here I like to imagine I reach about 4 people....except I know its at least (6 followers+2 relatives + 3ish that comment) 11 PEOPLE????? geeze the pressure may get to me--no I'll continue to think its 4. I don't know why I'm comfortable with that but I am.

Random facts:

-I read all of their blog before publishing this...people change didn't want to falsely represent

-Just like with books, movies and other things...I'm not recommending them--I don't do that.

-I love multi-vitamin juice

-I can't stay in the same place

-I dislike Utah so much so that I won't use my grandmother's address as "my address" because it's in Utah even though it is the most permanent

-my spelling is getting worse the longer I'm here

I'm a sucker

for cute dresses. Mormon Bachelor Pad is doing a giveaway and I kind of really would like the dress.

SO lets see if this helps me get it! I honestly just started reading it but it seems entertaining from the opposite end of the spectrum. I mean what else do I have to do as I lounge about in Germany except try and win a dress...to wear to like....church.

Cereal

So I used to hate cereal. Like a lot. Actually I hated breakfast foods in general...except like waffles and pancakes and french toast...the stuff you cant make daily. So much so that in middle school I ate left overs for breakfast and in high school despite my parents best efforts I generally just didn't eat breakfast. I only really started eating it last summer when it was an included cost for our host family...so yeah I ate. Somehow liking musli made me start liking cereal again...esp really unhealthy cereal. I can now eat like 4 bowls of coco puffs or count chocula...I reaaalllllyyy like chocolate ok?.. in one sitting. Like I did today...now I need to buy more cereal//musli stupid stores were closed today cause its easter monday.

oh yeah happy easter...did the easter bunny//beagle visit you? did he bring you chocolate? I'm going to try and buy a chocolate bunny tomorrow. yum.

replaceable people

You know what I'm talking about.

The people you enjoy having in your life but you don't really get too bothered if they leave...cause someone will fill that slot soon.

I'v recently realized that I don't let people become irreplaceable. Then it would hurt when they stop talking to me. This is one of those moments where you will want to say lighten up Anne. But let me tell you with only really I want to say 3 exceptions I have not had any friends that have managed to keep in touch with me after I'm no longer in direct eyesight. A couple others are on probation. And of those 3....only one would I tell everything. And I don't even seek them to tell them things.

I realized this as a friend discussed her break-up talking about all the people she had told...only the "important" people and it was like 7 or so.

I neglect to tell my family about my relationship status

most people find out when they ask.

being able to make friends quickly is a valuable trait...but so is keeping them

I'm an out of sight out of mind person.

sorry for my friends that read this...but some of you should ask yourselves when was the last time we talked....when you said hello?

One of the reasons I took down my birthday from everywhere or changed it is because I'm sick of fake friends that think its ok once a year to say hello.

If I ask you how you are I honestly care.

I never feel apologetic for who I am.
