scandinavia is QUICKLY losing points....

OK. so i have quite the bone to pick with scandinavia right now. mainly iceland, with its dumb dumb volcano ruining all my friends travel plans, and subsequently making them very sad (luckily i am toooo lame to be going anywhere). i also have a fight to start with norway at the moment, but that is a WHOLE OTHER STORY. interestingly enough i am actually half scandinavian (1/4 icelandic, 1/4 norwegian, as it were...haha), and total sweden lover (thanks largely to my totally amazing swedish friend julia....), but seriously, get it together, or feel the wrath.....ok. so there probably wont be any wrath, not from me at least (seeing as i am more of a lover than a fighter...haha), but somebody might really get uber-annoyed.

on a sunnier note, literally, the weather here in paris as AT LAST reached the 'acceptable' level...and today, despite the 'massive ash cloud' that is apparently surrounding us, it reached a full-on 'fantastic' level. i plan on protesting the ash by remaining outside as much as possible and tanning through the pain.....hahahahah.

je suis celebataire....

ok. so that ^^^^ would mean 'i'm single' in french. this is as true for me in french as in english. however. i have, as of this moment....discovered how it is you become 'unsingle'....you play farkle on facebook.

yes, ladies (and gentlemen)....its as easy as that.

just in case, i will 'break it down...'

a. go on facebook.
b. play farkle.
c. get hit on via FARKLE CHAT by creeeeeeepers.(sexy, right???)

et, voila!!! single no more!!!

i know...sounds amazing right?
yeah. um, not so much. i didnt think so either. but apparently, to the creepers living in cyberspace....its a BRILLIANT plan.....


LOSERS.
thanks for the free entertainment. hahahahahaha.

fromage blanc

ok. so when i got here i thought i might actually die from lack of 'good food'. i know what youre thinking. um....arent you in france? isnt the food there supposed to be like, decent? yes, you would think. and, if you come her on VACATION, you will probably think so. but living here and not eating in fine french restaurants every meal is a bit different than a week at the ritz in paris. so i was losing my mind for about 4 months. no mexican food? is that a joke? but, as time has passed, not only do i find myself regularly forgetting that my french diet is anything out of the ordinary, but also unable to start myself crying over a total inability to find fajitas. so, that got me thinking. and i am now legitamately worried about finding my new found french favorites back in california. fromage blanc? chevre? endive salad in french mustard black pepper vinegarette?....a whole new set of complaints to keep me busy. hahaha.

french singing

so...last friday was epic fun. we went to an 'irish' pub/bar/club thing in paris, which i was uber stoked on considering i had heard it was awesome. no lies. it was. best part, however, was the AMAZING playlist of english party classics (imagine YMCA and Grease soundtrack tunes mixed with normal club plays)....no picture non-english speaking french people JAMMING and singing along to these songs....i have never IN MY LIFE heard anything as funny as a french person, accent and all, singing the WRONG WORDS to 'Grease Lightning'.....disgustingly fun times...haha.

follow-up to previous post.

ok. so its been forever and a day. i know. too bad i was too busy blocking my parents from the majority of my facebook content. it was absolutely necessary; they were reaching all-star creeper status.

on a lighter note...and one whose follow-ups will most certainly not be accessible to the now shut-out parental units, this weekend is going to be fun. i can feel it in my bones. a house of just au pair girls. and alcohol. stoked, to say the least.

the last two weekends have been uber fun, so im excited to go for three in a row.....

parents and social networking

so i have come to the conclusion that any and all 'information' gathered by my parents about my life/recent outings through facebook creepage is their problem. haha. i am, lucky me, friends with both my parents (as well as a gang of other parental-esque family members and friends), and recently, via fb stalking, my mother has become increasingly concerned about how i spend my free time/money. haha. i am justifying my choices by telling myself that she is the one who signed up for facebook, and is fishing around...and then i remember all the stories she has told me of her 'younger days'...and i realize i need no justification, because nothing i do will ever be as gangster as mama OR dad were...hahahaha.

olympics/ the finnish

so the usa hockey team made finland their beezey last night. 6-1. hilarious. considering that all the goals by the usa were scored in the first quarter, it did make for a rather boring game actually. the upside to it was that we discovered that there are actually finnish people living in paris. however, once the slaughter (aka game) was over, they all ran back home, so it remains to be seen as to whether or not they will surface again before 2014.haha. but seriously, it was weird that in all the nights out we have never met one person from finland...there must be some secret scandinavian underground bar or something. canada v usa in the gold medal game tomorrow. i dont want to talk about it.

unless we win. then i will talk about it.
