PAINTBALL!!! I love it :D Oh and the garage (not enough people there this weekend!!!)...

SIR, YES SIR! Camo is cool ;)

But let's start from the beginning :) On monday I had to go to school again and I was so tired again from getting up at an time, that's just not made for Humanity to be awake yet ;P But I had to wake up fast, since till Wednesday I had 4 Tests and 2 Quizzes scheduled for Friday :O AHHHHHH!!!! THAT'S NOT VERY NICE, TEACHERS! JUST LETTING YOU KNOW ;P And the sad thing was, the only thing I didn't have a test in, was music -.-" That's the only class I don't even dare to look at the notes (Okay I don't take notes in that class, I admit :P It's just too stupid to write something down I already know (although some stuff is called differently, but I can hande that ^^)), since it's so easy :O It turned out to be quite okay though on Friday, I didn't really struggle in anything or something like that, I think I did quite good in everything :) (Yes, even Physics this time, I don't know what happened to Mr. Clark this week but he must have been very happy or something, since he gave us problems that were actually doable without your brain melting ;) )

But again let the interesting part beginn :D : The WEEEKKKKEENND! I was so glad the week was over after that Friday! ;P I still got random chunks of information mixed from 6 different subjects (Something like F=qvB*sin(Angle between them), Allude=refer to casually or indirectly, The 3 theological virtues are Faith, Hope and Love and the Potsdamer meeting of the leaders of the allies in WW2 actually was the beginn of the seperation of USA/britain and Russia which eventually led to the Cold War :O ( k that'y only 4 but I think you get the point :P) Anyways (how come I used aprox. 5 lines to express one short sentence?! :O ;D), Friday:


Only Erin, Zac and his cousin Tony (n/c on him he is a very ... interesting ... guy ;P) + ofc me and Lou were in the garage :/ WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE PEOPLE?!?!? ;D I don't know! (k in some cases I do but not very interesting foranybody :P)We still had fun :) Oh and I almost forgot, but later that night Paul showed up again, after Erin had texted him... I don't remember why, but I didn't feel like getting my camera out, so no pictures for you guys ... :D The next day was a little more interesting anyways (k not the garage (it was still empty ):) but see yourself, Saturday:

I had Drivers Ed in the morning, then driving lesson around noon (Okay I got a C+ again because (yes, this is a real quote ! :D) "You need to work those breaks more gently!" ... Okay.... :/). After my Driving lesson I then went biking with Erin (only with her, because Zac was being a Sissy and gave me the excuse "The Weather looks like rain" (even though it did rain later, hes still a sissy ;D) ... :P oh and Lauren was having a tennis tournament (which she didn't even win ! :O She decided, it was more important to go to the tournament than go biking and then she didn't even win! :O ;) )), but even though we got soaked after 5 minutes of riding (it was riddiculous, we were totally wet in 5 seconds, after it started :O), we had fun going on the bike trail I went on alone before :)
After that I went to Little Lou's house together with Sandy and Lou for a barbecue "party" for Matt, the guy why the changed the wedding date, because he is being deployed to afghanistan very soon... We only stayed for a little bit but it was fun, since it was all the people that were gonna go paintballing the next day, so I got to meet them and got to see Little Lou' garage (which isn't as cool as the one here, but it's still better than most garages :D), as well as play some corn beags (My team lost miserably, but the last time I played it was probably in 2007 or even longer ago, so it's kinda understandable ;)). After that we headed home to the "Big" garage :P

PAARRRTTYYY!


Erin! :D Ok, I know that I look kinda stupid in both pictures, but I still just felt like uploading them ;D

No not really, still only fricking 4 people there, different ones though :D : Erin, Zac, Lou and Big Bryan :) It was a fun evening, even though Big Bryan got so drunk he started talking the biggest Bullshit (sry ;P), but hey it was still fun xD


ZACHARY! (yep that's his real name NOBODY calls him that though :D)

Big Bryan and Lou :)

The best part of the weekend was still to come though :P The next day, SUNDAY:

PAAINNNNTBALLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Awesome ! Paint! Pain (a little bit, but that's okay ;D)! Camo! Fort Knox Paintball! :D
The only bad thing was I had to get up at 9 AM again, after getting up at 9:15 at Saturday for driver's ed :/ But the fun was definately worth it :) We got to "Fort Knox Paintball" at about noon, and there were (including us, which were Little Lou, Zac and the people from the party on saturday :D) about 20-30 people I would guess :)
The gun I used, borrowed from Little Lou ;D

I was so much fun and now I wanna do it in Germany but it's 18+ :O We're old enough to get drunk at 16 but can't get hit by a paintball till we're 18 that makes sense :P Well, anyways the paintball field is huge having anything from a woods field, an old western city and a castle to fight in :) I really didn't get any action shots, because I didn't take my camera on the field, since a hit would definately not have been very good (Yep, those paintballs DO hurt when you get hit and you can get some pretty bad (Okay not THAT bad but they can make you bleed) bruises but it doesn't matter you're "high" (;)) on adrenalin anyways ;D), but Little Lou took an old camera he didn't care about and took some pretty good pictures, he's gonna send them to me soon so be prepared for me in ACTION! ;D

Our Group
All the stuff we brought (yeah you ofc need to wear one of those masks and you sweat under them so bad ;P)
The "car field"

Just a little explanation about the game, there's different types we played, team Deathmatch (take out (If you're hit you need to say you're out and walk out of the field ( hold up your arm clear so people don't shoot you (happened to some people ;P)) all of the other team), Defend & Capture (One team needs to hold something (the castle for example) for a defined time, Plant the Bomb (Put the "Bomb" (A flag) into the designated spot), VIP (one person on a team is the VIP if he's hit the team looses, to win they need to escort him a certain distance) and "Slapstick" (Get to the enemy's side and "slap" a stick to win)...
Since I'm supposed to be in bed already, but this blog kept me awake (all your fault people ;)) I better stop now! So maybe I'll post tthe pictures Little Lou took later this week Idk ;D

The End

P.S: If you were wondering where Sol is all the time, I really don't know why, but she just stays in her room, uses her laptop and watches baseball all the time (including 4 in the morning :O) ...

My Spring Break including Roller Coasters (YAY!!!), Drumming, Work in the garden, the garage only one day rly ;( and PAINTBALL!!!!!

THIS IS KINGS DOMINIOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!! (more specifically the Dominator Rollercoaster in Kings Domion :D) YAY! :D Spring Break's over wiith tomorrows start of school and it was awesome :D First the reason I didn't write anything last weekend: For one on Sunday I was having big family come-together and going off to write a blog would definately not fit in there :D Also I just thought I needed a week off this blog, since it was my vacation so I'm off of writing this too ... ;) Thirdly and maybe even the strongest cause, I didn't have the fastest internet at my grandparents, where I stayed (Satellite :/ Better than dial-up at least :P), so I wouldn't have been able to upload anything or embend videos like the one above as easily...


So what happened the first week u missed: Not much :P AHS only had 3 days of school, we've had thursday off too so school wasn't really interesting anymore, everybody was eager for the break :D On thursday night lou opened the garage for a bit, since he had off on friday, but only erin, me and lou were there but it was fun anyways :D

Last weeks Fridays morning Lou then took me to Southbend regional Airport and I had to get up really early, 'cause of the drive and the time change (Southbend's ET already), but hey it was for the sake of a VACATION TO VIRGINIA :D I changed planes in Detroit (nice airport btw :D) , had some taco bell there (yummy :D) for lunch, and arrived in Baltimore/Washington Intl Airport at about 4 o' clock :D My grandparents then picked me up and took me, together with my uncle Adam, to a nice greek restaurant for dinner, where I had some good Gyro (still not really like a Döner kebap but it came pretty close that time :D), before I spent the night at my uncle's watching "The 40 year old virgin" (I can only recommened if your up for some REALLY stoupid humour :D) seeing a dog park and drinking Dr. Pepper :P

The next day (Saturday for those of you that are lost already :P) my uncle took me for a surprise trip to: KINGS DOMINION! YAY! theme park! :D As some people that are reading this might now I was there once before and it was really awesome, as it was this time :D The park has literally about 20 rollercoasters and every single one is awesome :D The video you saw in the beginning is of the newest rollercoaster there, called the Dominator, that's less than 3 years old... the day was really awesome and it was alot of fun :D Another video here of one of the coasters, this time the Volcano, a inverted one:

Sunday: Family gathering at the house of my Aunt with a big meal and some basketball games of HORSE (actually we called it PFERD to honor my German origin, but horse is the normal name :P) with my two cousins + their father, Adam and me :D I'll not write anymore about this because it's not very interesting for anyone besides the family really :P Oh and I got a easter basket that day :D

This past week: Monday-Friday I was staying at the house of my grandparents, which is very big and very nice :) I'll save you any really detailed descriptions (Just because I didn't take any pictures, so it would be less interesting :P) but give you a fast overview:

Monday
: Mowed the Lawn with one of the cool Lawn Mower trucks (Fun! :D) and got to play the drums at the Orchestra where my grandpa playes the clarinette, because they were missing a drummer :D
Tuesday: Rain! :/ Some kids from next door and their grandparents they were staying with came over for dinner (Hot dogs and Hamburgers! MMHH! :D), to play some drums and in the case of the boy who came his guitar, as well as play some board games and the Wii my grandparents own
Wednesday: Rainy and cold! :/ but I still went for a bike ride through the town Kinsale :D
Thursday: Helped in the garden and painting some gardening furniture and played board games with my grandparents
Friday: Same as Thursday pretty much :D

Saturday:
Day of Departure :O In thé morning I got to see a local farmer's market which was fun, they had a cool forge there, they were using as well as some Habanero Pepper Jelly they were selling (Do NOT try it, it's HOT! :P) We left their house at noon and were at the airport at about 3:30 which was pretty much perfect, since my flight was supposed to leave at 4:30... Only a slightly problem there: It was delayed already when I came to the gate to at least 6 PM :O I again had a connection in Detroit to Southbend, so I couldn't take that flight, since I would have missed the connection... After standing in a line at the counter for some time (the man in front of me had to stay overnight to get a connection to Atlanta/then JFK/ then heathrow just becaused he would have missed his flight in Detroit :O) the only possibility they could offer me was a flight by Delta Airlines (I was supposed to fly with Nothwest) through Cincinnati to Chicago O' Hare :O I checked with my host parents if that was okay and then ran to the delta airlines gate to catch the flight to Cincinnati :D Well at least I got to see a new Airport (Cindy is bad though, very long lines at every single fast food restaurant -.-"), got to fly in bigger planes (Yeah Delta had the bigger (So more comfortable, less bumpier) planes...) and got an awesome view of chicago all lit up (I guess when I first came to the US it wasn't dark yet when I arrived :O), while the pilot was doing a great synchrone landing with another plane landing on the runway next to us (that looked pretty cool :D). Funny thing: The flight between Cincinnati and O'Hare only took like 15 min, because of the time change (departed at 7:45 ET and arrived at 8:00 CT :D) :D

When I first got home, nobody was in the garage yet :O But that soon changed :D First Zac


Zac and me, Zac's trying to watch the movie that's why he looks that way :P

, then Erin, Janay, Blaire (a friend of Erin again ofc :D), Paul (umm Bus etc. ^^) and Rachel showed up and we partied all night ;D No, we just did the usual Pool, Pinball, talking and actually this time we actually watched a movie, the exorcist, which we all thought to be very funny (for those who don't know it, it's supposed to be scary :P), I won't quote the best part because it's not very appropriate language :P

Paul... :D

Me and Rachel
Erin, me and Janay

The "Party" ended when Sandy told us she was tired and I had to get up early (she wasn't really angry just so some people (I won't say names ;D) don't freak out :P)


Sunday: PAAAAIIIINNTTBBAAALLLLL!!! :D YEAH! AWESOMENESS! :D Yep, you heard right I got to paintball :D it was only a practise match though, together with Zac and Little Lou (we played 2on1 and 1on1... :D), before next week the big game's rolling at "Fort Knox open Paintball" :D It was really, really awesome and though I was the one that never had played before I didn't do too bad, winning some of the 2on1 as well as beating Zac in 1on1 (Lou was too good though :P) :D I used one of the spare guns of little lou and paid for the paint and it was really really fun :D The only bad thing were my clothes sandy gave me to wear: The most dorky, nerdy, whatever clothes you can think of , but it was somewhere in the woods where we were running around and shooting at each other with paint, so really how stupid can you look?! :D Camo really helps though, the only thing I was able to see of Lou and Zac were their hands and guns really while my grey sweat pants were visible over 500 ft when i wasn't hiding behind a tree :D I had an awesome time and really am looking forward to next sunday when there are gonna be more people so you actually use strategy, besides the hide and don't be seen, aim good one :P

There you go folks, a fresh posting right out of the oven ;D Enjoy :P Next time I'm gonna take my camera to the paintballing too, so you can see how it looks when people in camouflage run through the woods shooting paint ;D

THE END!

P.S: I just set up my phone for blogging, so now I can text something to blogspot and it's gonna be published instantly, I don't know if I'm gonna use it (I mean it's only 160 characters per text :/), but you might see some short entries (kinda like twitter I suppose :D) in the week :O

Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat! What's that?! Drivers Ed + Push-up basketball as well as the garage =)

Huh, what? Who?! Joseph?! Who's that?! Dreamcoat?! O.o, if that's your thoughts right now, it's okay I'll tell you later what that is =)

Another week, more school to talk about :P Nothing changing really, everything's great I'm having fun, more or less, and I'm doing all of my work :D Nothing interesting really interesting happened this week either, we just picked up a millipede in Music class the one day and named it Abdul Jolie :D It's like a class pet now :D Just kidding of course, we set it free after that day :D But enough of the school, it's only three more school days till spring break anyways, YAY!


THE WEEKEND

Friday:
Now you know what Joseph and the amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is, a musical about the bible story about Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers, rising to power there and then helping them in a famine... :) And why did I put it in the title?! AHS performed it on the weekend and I went to see it =) It was really, really, really an awesome performance and they were singing amazingly good, I almoust can't tell the difference between the professionals singing the songs on the youtube and them :D They also played all the music themselves, which was very good too :) Erin and her friend Robin wanted to go too, so we all went together :) I also met Dae Sang and some other people from my school (no point in telling you the names I didn't take my camera :D)there, so I really had fun =) And they were truly amazing ! :) After that we all headed off to the garage, together with Dae Sang, who decided to stay at my place for the night :D We had fun in the garage with also some "older" people being there, Little Lou and friends, as well as two guys from AHS Ryan and his brother Cameron (I don't really know them, only by sight, Jun Hi (he was there too ): ;)) kinda brought them over) :D I even managed to beat a friend of Little Lou in Pool who himself had beaten a proffesional pool player some time ago :) YAY! :D But I was kinda tired that night, so I went to bed rather early, also because I had to get up rather early on:

Saturday:

Yep Drivers Ed was waiting again that morning, and since I bike there I had to get up at 9:15 to make it in time :/ After that I watched the recorded (I didn't want to stay up till 3 in the morning) F1 Qualifying (Kimi Raikkönen didn't do too good ):), since Dae Sang was still asleep, before we went and played some "push-up Basketball" with Dae and Jun Hi :D You try to do free throws and hoever misses does 5 push-ups (10 if it's an airball) and when you hit the others do 7... I actually was the best of the three, even if I'm not really an amazing basketball player, but I guess Koreans just are bad ;P Just kidding :D Also we did another little game where the Loser (Jun Hi :D) had to do 30 push-ups and run a certain distance, but Jun Hi ran away after he lost so he didn't have to do the push-ups O.o So me and Dae Sang just did them instead =) After that it was time for Dae Sang to leave, since Family company was coming over: Lou's sister and her husband had dinner (Lou's amazing tacos =)) with us. The garage then wasn't really empty but not very full either :/

Erin and Janay, the picture was taken after Erin had shown some of her acrobatic "skills" , and Janay was trying to help her up ;D

Only Zac (YAY not at his dads this weekend :D), his friend Devan, Erin. Janay (Bus... and on the pictures) , Ryan (the guy from AHS, he's kinda friends with me too now I guess :D) and Big Bryan were there...
Zac :D and half of me :D

I played pool that night and just kinda hang out, it doesn't seem like fun but it was xD

Well... Janay and Lou :D
Everybody who was there that night, besides Big Bryan and Ryan who had already left...

That's pretty much all that happened on Saturday, so here comes

Sunday

Sunday was really yucky weather (chilly and rain :/), so I couldn't go on a bike ride together with Ryan, what we wanted to do... The day just kinda drifted along, I got up at 12:20 (I even was the first one after Sandy :O), watched the recorded F1 race (called off because of rain with 25 rounds to go (first time since 1991) -.-) and played Pool with Zac =)

THAT'S IT! NO MORE! Good Night! ;D

P.S: Oh, what I forgot to tell you, since I'm addicted to txting now like everybody else ( just kidding, but some kids do like 8000 (!) Txts a month with no problem :O), I just typed in unlimited Txting (EVERYBODY (seriously!) has that over here!) in German into google today, but German Cell Contracts/Prepaid cards just don't have that at any affordable price, at least not if your txting over your phone, you can get flatrates to txt over the internet (O.o)... The cheapest flatrate was like 50 euros a month and the cheapest price per text 9 cts (I pay 5 overhere and i have the cheapest cell possible with a prepaid card!) THAT'S riddiculous ;P Well no more txting for me in Germany then I guess ;/
