I was going through a pile of dad's old records today because I've got nothing to do. I wish that our record player wasn't broken because dad has records like the Beatle's red album, the Beatle's blue album, Queen, the best hits from Cat Stevens (i started drooling at that point), Supertramp, Jethro Tull (Thick as a brick or sommat, the album that Kelly was using as her icon for a while), ELO...sigh.


People are moving in next door. w00t.


Janina's coming back this evening at 10:30! So I get to see the Grand Rapids Amtrack station for the first time. Great. It's crazy, dad told me that we've only got one bullet train in the U.S. How do we live?! Germany has tons of bullet trains.

Janina is on her way to the train station. w00t. I hope that she has fun in Chicago.


There was a guy at the Spielabend last night who was awesome and azui. He was wearing a pair of pink wings. Yum. Azui.


It's raining! I love the rain!!! Hopefully it'll last through 3rd hour so I don't have to play softball in P.E. today. I hate softball.


Have fun at school. Say no to rugs.

Hey, guess what!! I don't have zero hour tomorrow!!!! So that means I get to ride the most evil mode of public transportation on the face of the earth. w00t *grumbles*


Should I call Benoit and bug him about a ride (gas money included) or not? Hearts and kisses and moons.

Janina's plane was 2 hours late so dad, Carly, and I went to the woodland mall and ate food (Greasy, yummy, Japanese food) and then Carly and I looked around at the shops because we had time to kill and had no money. We pointed out romance novels that Jessie (Jessie Bulman that is) would like, the ones with the men and woment on the cover about ready to do the dirty deed. I found one that had the best title in the world. Men who wear kilts. I started laughing because that's the best way to draw my attention. Mmm...kilts.


So at 7:50 Carly and I waited with baited breath as our friends from Germany stepped off the plane and into the waiting area. Janina was tired and had a stomach ache from crappy airplane food and having to sit still for 10 hours. Dad and I took her to good ol' Mickey D's and she ate some random yogurt parfait thing and drank some water. We chatted away in german and confused the person at the register. It was great. Then we arrived home and Janina showered our family with gifts. I swear it was Christmas.


Today we're going to church, then back at home I'll make Janina food then we'll walk downtown and hopefully meet Kim and her german sister, Britte. w00t.


Wow, a long entry for once. Gaspy. Hearts and kisses and bubbles and hugs and balloons!

Only 2 hours and 22 minutes before Janina arrives! I'm really excited. Jumping-all-around-and-trying-to-beat-a-boss-on-oracle-of-seasons excited. Drawing-on-the-sidewalk-with-chalk excited.


Rachel and Benoit are now my alarm clocks.


Cheese is good, and so is chocolate.

Oh dear
Janina mentioned something about her teacher mentioning our homecoming dance. and that she'll be bringing a dress (i hope to high heaven that she has no interest to go).

Well, if she wants to go then we'll go. Except I have no dress (Gott sei dank).

I hate softball.

Ich bin eine Kartoffel
I finally got enough sleep today. *happy*


Dad and I were looking at colleges on the internet. I want to look at CMU, WMU, and MSU.

I know how to get around the campus (sorta) at CMU because dad's on the board of science and learning so i'm usually up there at least once a year. It's out in the middle of nowheresville. Nice library though.

WMU is right by my grandparents's house. I'd be able to hang out with them and go to their church (if i went there).

MSU is smurfing huge. That's all I've got to say about that one.

Janina's coming on the 25th!! I'm so excited!

Today was my church's annual 5K run. We had 151 runners!!! That's the most we've had in the past 3 years!


I was on kitchen duty, sort of. All we had to do was set the food out onto the tables for the runners, then I got called over to the finish line to make sure that all the runners remembered to take off the running chips (computer chips that helped keep track of their running time).


After clean up I went home and felll asleep for a long time (until 4) because I didn't get home until after 0.30 (12:30 for those americans out there) from the place I was babysitting at. The last 20 minutes before the mom came home I was drifting in and out of unconsciousness. Then I got to wake up at 7 this morning. Joy.


Hope you all have a nice weekend. Cheers.

I actually got enough sleep last night so I was awake today. w00t.


My team actually won a match of tennis today! Unbelievable!


I hate underclassmen who act like idiots. Preferably ones sitting behind me on the bus and flicking my head so they can ask me time and time again if I'm a boy or a girl. Grr...One day I'm gonna snap and flash them.


Ali and I talked all hour in Japanese class. She's got more manga than me! We're gonna do some manga trades in the near future, I can't wait!!!


Yay! Tomorrow's Friday!

Today I spent the day with Kristy and made cookies and carmels. I'm pretty sure that all the teeth in my mouth will be rotting away due to so much sugar. Mmm...sugar.

The person that cuts my hair is getting married today. w00t. She's nice, and she's my mum's bestest friend's daughter. If you wanted to know.


So I get to wear a skirt today. Somebody just kill me now.


Oh, and I'm discontinuing the "German word of the day" dealy. Perhaps I'll put it back on later if there are enough complaints (yeah right...*laughs*)


Oh, and danke Benoit for letting me borrow those two Zelda games. Hugs and kisses and all that crap. Sorry I wan't awake when you stopped by.


Moo.
