Last night on Conan O'Brien, he said:
"The average World Cup fan is drinking about 17 pints of beer per day.... and that's probably because after so much drinking they could finally understand the game better and enjoy it. Seriously, how does one expect me to keep my attention on something that is so insipid as a score 1-0. And then all those cards, I mean come on... they have a yellow card, red card, and pretty soon, everyone will be requesting a green card...."
Ok, so maybe it wasn't that funny, but I was really intrigued with what he said about the beer drinking bit. So I looked it up and in fact I did come up with many results, but the one I seemed to find the most entertaining, is one that blaims the British fan base for making Germany run dry.

Well, I just finished watching the Germany vs. Argentina game; I am holding my reservations on comments. But moving on, at least I am happy that the World Cup is promoting some type of world peace scenario..... oh wait, no that's incorrect, when you see two powerful teams starting to beat each other at the end of a game, that is not promoting peaceful resolutions. But at lest we can count on the fact the World Cup promotes drinking socially as opposed to privately, which we all know that's alcoholism... and nobody wants that .... hehehehe
*disclosure: please, don't take this the wrong way

American Girl Once Again...
I got back to the States two nights ago...
It was the longest flight of my whole life.
But Wednesday night before i left to the U.S. was incredible. =)
Thank you to all my new good friends for being so sweet and so kind to me. I hope to see you soon, but in the meantime take great care of yourselves.
But now i must face the harsch reality. I started working yesterday and i am dead tired already... that is probably because i jetlag and i have been waking up way too early. Oh well!!!!
"Stay With You" by Goo Goo Dolls
These streets Turn me inside out
Everything shines
But leaves me empty still
And I'll, burn this lonely house down
If you run with me
If you run with me I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you I'll stay with you
Fooled by my own desires I twist my fate
Just to feel you
But you, turn me toward the light
And you're one with me
Will you run with me?
I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do

Mondays are the Worst, But this is Killing It
I tried to pinch myself from the nightmare I suffered today....
Unfortunately, it was all true
It wasn't a horrible mind game that I could simply awake from
Today was the scariest day of my life....
something that I don't want to go through again
Could not help but to wonder how I almost threw everything away
I hope all will work out
Don't be scared, I yell at the person looking back at me in the mirror
*breath*
It wasn't suppose to be this way
*breath*
Where are we heading to?
Where am I heading to?
*breath*
I can't deal with the thought of it....
*STOP*

Cake, Champagne, Bratwurst, and American Football
Yeah, well the whole daily posting is not working so great at the moment, and I don't think it ever will...hehehe
I discovered yesterday that American brownies are a whole lot sweeter and softer than German brownies. While American brownies might be soft and sweet, German brownies are sturdy and reliable. Yes reliable, because you can dunk them into a nice cold glass of milk and they wont fall apart and they will taste just as good. And although German brownies might be different, I don't think it will be a difficult change to adapt to...
I doubt I am still talking about brownies...
A couple of us got together and had an afternoon coffee and cake session if you may call it. It was sooo good, and of course like previously stated, I baked brownies. After some laughing, two glasses of champagne, and a lot of cake, I found myself talking to two other girls about my future plans and I came to the conclusion that I don't have any true sturdy plans for the future. But its ok.
Franzie, Ping (Alex), her boyfriend, and Karl, her younger brother, were heading to an American football game afterwards and asked Renke and I if we would like to come along. American Football in Germany.....Of course I would LOVE to go and see the whole shee-bang!!! We took the tram on the way to the game. BTW, Germany is really anal about "black riders" meaning people who don't pay for public transportation. Once again I found myself riding Germany's public transportation 'illegally', and yes, there was an officer checking for tickets. I was sweating in my boots. I don't know how or who but something distracted the officer from checking for my ticket. GOTT SEI DANK (Thank God)!!!!!!!!! When we arrived at the stadium I was surprised at the number of people there. It was crazy. There were people fully dressed out like the crazy fans they were. The game was fine. I felt great because I was explaining to Franzie and her brother the workings of American football. Finally, so many Friday night high school football games paid off....hehehehe. Before the game, Franzie and I had some champagne along with Bratwurst. Ha, her and I represented the true epitome of classiness. I must say, American football games should change to selling Bratwurst instead of small measly hotdogs.... And sell some yummy champagne, too.
The home team, the Braunschweig Lions, won 52:7. Yeah, it was quite a kick in the ass. After the game we stood close to the track to congratulate the players. Mostly all came over to say hello. But I have to say the highlight of the game was when I gave a high five to one of the players and then he turned back around and said, "Hey...." (trying to start something), but then the adorable Renke held me and said, "Hey, sie ist mein!" ( I don't think I have to translate that; it's pretty much self-explanatory). *sigh* My tall, bright, and shining prince.....hehehe It's nice to know that you still interest your boyfriend in that way. =)
I am nervous
But I know that in your arms
I will be alright
