I love Saturdays.
1)I have been personally punished by God. On Friday I was being a really good catholic. I hadn't eaten meat all day, and that meant passing up skipping History for a McDicks run. But later that night I went to a party and they were serving wurstchen... the good kind that isn't from Aldi... but I said, nope I'll wait until 12 and then eat... but I was so hungry. Then that rascal of a man, Mr. Bacardi and I hooked up a bit. I know, I know... I shouldn't have... he's burned me before... but damn it... he was sitting there in that Coke and I couldn't stick to my Vodka Limonade... DAMN IT I'M ONLY HUMAN! So I imbibed, and just like the asp, Bacardi told me to eat the forbidden wurstchen... and I did... and just like Eve, I found myself in world hurt... One hour later I threw up... mulitply that by five, and that will equal the amount of times I threw up before every little last piece of Wurst was unwilling purged from my body. Thank you Jesus
2)So nursing the hang over that ensued after such punishment, I woke up early and went to Hannover with Fow (Vi) and Ian, and did that 'ish' up true exchange student style. It was a good day, and trust me... hilarity abounded.
3) That night I went to another party and got myself sloppy. While drunk I realised a few things: I am sick of being called, 'Erika from America', and I really hate it when people say (with the awful accent that I actual have), 'Ick bin ein Berliner'. ***(note: if you don't understand what this quote is in reference to, please proceed to the bottom of the page.) It wouldn't bother half as much as it does if I didn't get it five time every day. It seems to me that Germans really think that is soooo hilarious, when in reality its just kind of stupid.... ANYWAY... a snip-it from last night when a bunch of us were waiting in line at a gas station:
(So enter me and Basti speaking German. Three guys already standing in line, who are also as drunk as we are, comment on my accent.)
GUY:Oh you're from America?
ME: Yep.
GUY: (making a wicked retarded face) Ick bin ein BEEEERRRRRRRLINERRRRRRRRRRRRR
ME: (in English) NO fucktard, you're an asshole.
Ok so maybe it isn't soooooooo bas ass as seems, but really, it was a good come back and the fucker didn't have anything to say to me in respose besides looking shocked that I just called him an asshole. To his face. This is a guy I've never met. I'm so awsome.
Props,
Erika
***In a famous speech in Berlin during his time in office, JFK proclaimed to a mass of cheering 'Berliners', "Ich bin ein Berliner", which means when directly translated, "I am a Berliner". Berliner was meant to mean, 'a person from Berlin', but in Germany, a Berliner is this kind of doughnut like pastry... SOOOOOO you can imagine how stupid he looked...
