Why me?

I just bought Brad Paisley's CD ''Mud on the tires'' for 7,76 € over eBay... :-) I had to get it after hearing that song ''Whiskey Lullaby'' and some other songs featured on the CD. Still, it kinda sucks that I have to buy over my mom's account. You see,the thing is if I want something I always have to ask her if she'd be so kind to let me bid for it and I can only hope that she's in a good mood... Yes, she is a very moody person ( sorry, mom, but you really are )... One of the things to put on my 'Things-To-Do-When-18-List': '- get own eBay account'
You know, I could go on like this forever but I'm getting a little tired and I can already hear my mom saying ''CARINA!!! I ALREADY TOLD YOU TO GO TO BED 30 MINUTES AGO! NOW GET GOING OR I'M GONNA WAKE YOU AT 6 IN THE MORNING TOMORROW!!!''. ...like she did several times before...

Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby


Alright, this is a beautiful country song, one of my favorite country songs since today. This video is what made me post today. I just had to share it with you. And, it is beautiful, yes, but also terribly sad. It made me cry more than once. You can tell me what you think about it if you like.

( Finally ) I'm on vacation!

Okay, I know I haven't been too busy with posting but hey, the holidays started yesterday ( weekends don't count ) and I really didn't feel like posting. Still, you didn't miss anything important. I lately discovered the world of YouTube thanks to Kitrak ( thank you! ;-)). It's a very entertaining page where you can find all sorts of videos. So I decided to post one of my favorites from time to time. You can see my first one below. I think some more music videos will follow. I'll post the next one right after I've finished this.
Uhm... okay, I think that's it. Told you nothing exciting happened.
But YouTube is really cool. I've found all the music videos I've been looking for for so long there!
And I can watch them over and over again... :-))

events of the past week

Alright, here I am again. It's been a while since my last post and a lot has happened...

1. I guess everybody noticed: Germany is NOT gonna be world cup champion anymore. We lost the game against Italy last tuesday... At least we have the chance to be third-best by winning against Portugal this evening. if we don't win that game I'm gonna be really pissed... So, now Italy and France can fight over the title. Whatever, we'll be back 2010! Just you wait...

2. My family and me were invited for dinner yesterday at Steve's new apartment. Well, it's actually not his apartment, but he shares it with some other guys. For all the people who don't know who I'm talking about: Steve was our exchange student from the States for 3 weeks. He's been in Germany for almost a year now to study German politics. At least that's what he's supposed to do... but actually life as a student doesn't seem to be to hard. He spent half the time travelling to other cities and European countries. If you wanna find out more about him check out his blog.
Anyways, he cooked for us that evening ( with a little help of his girlfriend Colleen who is also in Germany to study ) and desperately tried to thicken that Polenta of his... at that moment he had been standing in the kitchen for several hours already and we had to assure him that the Polenta was great the way it was ( and we weren't lying. It really tasted very good )

3. It's only one more week 'til the summer holidays start. All tests are written and all lectures held. YEAH! On monday and tuesday will be the conferences for the school reports. If there'll be any homework, I guess no ones gonna do it anymore. I mean, who can blame us?

4. On 4th July me and my mom went to a barbecue party of the 'German-American society Trier'. First and foremost to get to know some Americans and people that love the States as much as I do :-). We already have some connections ( see 2. ) and we are invited to an American-German ''Polterabend'' in two weeks. A ''Polterabend'' is something non-existent in any English-speaking country and therefore there is no English term for it. To quote from a dictionary: 'Party at the house of the bride's parents on the eve of a wedding, at which crockery is smashed to bring good luck'. That's gonna be pretty cool because all the groom's ( American ) relatives and friends will be there aswell of course... ;-).
