Guest writers!!! YAY!!! ERIN!! PAUL!!!! oh and me ofc writing too much stuff ;P

Hey there, lookin good!!!! haha this is Daniel's secret American hoe (haha just kidding) I'm sitting here with Daniel and Paul. It's really fun here. With my two favoritest people ever!!! Haha So I'm gonna be really sad when Daniel leaves, but that's okay. We've had so much fun so far, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the time. He's a really cool guy! Ahhh.......that's alright I bet he'll never forget this psycho American girl he broke a sign in Lou's garage with. The last weekend was fun. We wanted to go to the movies, but, Daniel screwed that up! haha jk. So we just stayed at teh garage. we hung out here played stupid games, then I went home around two. Saturday was tons of fun, we went to a world war two reenactment. It was amazing, definetely something you don't get in history class. Afterwards, we went to Ponderosa. YUMMY!! It was good. then I had to go to a fancy party, and came back later that night in a dress. Haha. Hmmmmm then we watched movies! oh funnnnn. Then my brother called, and I had to go home. Darn but that's okay. Now, we're sitting here in the garage and like always, IT'S FUN!!! Hmmmm everyone here is awesome: loucifer, Sandy, Daniel, and Sol!! woo! I hope we don't get the Swine Flu though! ahhhhhhh that would totally suck. Daniel just told me the swine flu reached Germany. uh oh be careful over there! That's okay, only on Tuesdays :) Okay well you guys are probably really bored with reading me go on, but that's okay. Daniel's awesome!!!! You better never forget this psycho American chick (but I am German too) Daniel!

Okay here I go myself :) I don't know how it happened but I somehow got Erin + Paul 2 write sth really short about me and the garage xD (in the case of Erin more, in Pauls case less ;P)... Anyways I hope you believe it's really them and not me making something up but their writing styles are somewhat different from mine so just believe it's them and not me making up that stuff ;P Actually I like the idea that others write something about me, then I need to write less :P I'll try 2 get some more people 2 write a little bit next week :)

So another week's over :O I really am getting kinda sad that there are only about 5 weeks in Indiana left, I'll miss all this guys here so much, especially (just to name some people ;D) Zac, Erin, Lauren, Janay, Rachel, Paul C, Paul K, Znika brothers, My whole music class, Sandy and Lou ofc, Little Lou and Matt and their friends, Ryan Wilson, anybody else that comes to the garage or came to it before, my whole music class, all the other people from my school (okay maybe I won't miss EVERYBODY there but pretty damn close ;P), Jeff and Kathrina and their drumset ofc 2 and just all the people that I met overhere and won't see again for at least a year (I already decided I'm saving money for a plane ticket next summer and will come and just stay w/ Sandy and Lou again, since they don't have any exchange students staying in the summer :P) :O

Anyways (I can't believe I just wrote 2 paragraphs w/out even starting the actual blog post yet :O).. umm okay my week: I really don't wanna say too much about school really, I mean it's the same old thing, grades are stable, mostly having fun and stuff is too easy ;P I got a kinda funny story from Friday, thouhg Idk if I should really tell it but anyways ... Paul in my music class (that would be Paul K not the one who wrote something...) saw a picture on my Ipod from a girl that had been at the garage b4 and he was like, dude do you have her number?! I was like yeah here you go and he started randomly texting her (btw it was Katherine Kolbert, the last time she was at the garage was prob early march (I think), so you could look a picture up in one of the posts ;P) and now he's gonna go on a date w/ her (For explanation, Paul's not really the guy that gets all the girls, to put it nicely ;P), I'm a master of hooking people up, oh yeah ;P (jk jk ;D) Idk if you think it really is funny, it might not be if you don't know Paul and Katherine, but I wrote it down now so deal w/ it ;P

So the weekend: Erin told you already what had happened on Friday :D : We, it was Zac, Lauren, me, Erin, Rachel and her boyfriend, wanted to go to the movies, but umm we kinda screwed up in picking a movie that started too early for Lauren to make it in time from her tennis tournament, then waiting for her too long so we would have missed the movie and then even failing in finding a movie rental store that would rent w/out a creditcard -.-" But hey, that's okay :P Anyways we then all went back to the garage to just do the usual stuff ;D we still had alot of fun though, walking to CVS, getting some Monster (a brand, yep this is an ad ;P jk jk) energy drinks, playing a game called "Would you rather?!" (Lauren brought it in ... funniest question was when Ryan Wilson made one up: Would you rather be German or have the swine flu?! (kk kinda insulting but ofc it was just fun) We all laughed like crazy :D) and Poker (No fun though, because Lauren and Erin had both no idea what they were doing xD)... People there that night pretty much were:

Paul and Erin, IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE :P But such a nice shot I just HAD to upload it xD
Ryan Wilson, kid, that used to go to AHS, now he's homeschooled and lives around the area, I think he was in the blog before
Zac ofc :D
Lauren :) and me on the side :D

Later that night also Matt and Little Lou showed up, but I didn't get a picture...

SATURDAY

:O just the second day and so much writing already :O After driving lesson in the morning( a B :) parallel parking isn't that hard btw (we did it the first time that drive), from 5 times we did it I only screwed up once and hit the curb a little tiny bit ;)) Sandy, Lou, me, Zac and Erin (Lauren had tennis ofc and Idk about the others ...) went to a WWII reenactment :) That really, really was awesome, and as erin has said, you can't do that in a history class :) It were about 300-400 men, all dressed up in historical acurate uniforms (Okay that's something that would have been considered very inappropiate in Germany, they German uniforms had the swastika...), that built up an entire Army base (they all camped there in historiy tents for the whole weekend), and reenacted a battle of WWII, with tanks and everything that belongs to it (they even had 2 old planes up as "Spotter planes") :) It really, really was alot of fun and I don't think something like that could even be possible in Germany :O

Just some pictures:

Entrance to one of the allied camps


A German camp
Allied vehicle
Another German camp, this time even w/ some of the guys ;D
Me in"Wehrmachts"-uniform
"Secret Statepolice"
Erin, me and a "soldier" ;D
In the battle, I thought the smoke from one of the fake shells really make this pic look good :D

After that we, as Erin described, went to a all-u-can-eat buffet restaurant, that had very, very good food :D That pretty much was the Saturday, b4 the garage again ofc ;D

The same people (exactly the same: Lauren, Erin, Paul C, Zac, Ryan, me, Little Lou and his wife Missy (k she wasn't there Friday ;D) and Matt) again, so just one picture of Erin in her fancy dress she talked about xD

Don't look at my face pls stupid grin xD oh and the black thing in my hand is my cellphone...

Just one more thing about that night, we again went up to CVS for some energy drinks, but this time they were on sale (a 4-pack for a dollar 50), so we bought ALOT of them ;D I discovered, that drinking 4 of those really DOES NOT make your stomach feel well and somehow(even though I felt asleep as fast as usual) it makes you feel sooo tired the next day :P Anyways we watched some movies that night too, so it was fun :)

Sunday

Today was fun too ofc :D but really there's not much to tell it essentially just was Erin, Me, Zac, Paul C and Ryan hanging out, playing football and idk being cool I guess ;D So that's all what happened today, besides drivers ed (most riddic lesson ever, went there, 5 min of talking about how bad drinking and driving is (yep like I didn't know that before :/) and then 2 of those "scare the kids 2 death with horrifying accident pictures" movies :P But I guess it worked it really did scare me partly :O)

THE END (k 2 say it in cool txting language: Cu/l8/ttul/bb ;P)


P.S: ! Long stuff this time if you have fallen asleep by now, WAKE UP!!! ;D

Picture Time :D

As promised some more picture :D just look and have fun ;D Not all though more in the common social networks ;D (sry if you don't have them ;D)

K IM NOT ALLOWED 2 SHOW THIS PICS HERE, ASK MY MOM WHY LOL!!! -.-"

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) ...

K lets try this. Drivens ed atm chapter 13 about city driving :D just learne all about intersections and signals, ike who has the right of way on a 4 way stop:D

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
