The Location

This is the room we'll celebrate in. When this picture was taken the room was decorated for another wedding. I believe it will look totally different when our wedding takes place. We will use round tables and have different chairs. And different decoration of course. Plus we will only have about 50 guests, not 130 like the couple that got married on the day the picture was taken. So we will have a lot more space to move around or dance.

One post a year

WHOOOHHOOO!
I'm back again! 6 months of spare time are over. And now I'll go to university and study law.
Most of my friends have gone to other cities or even countries. Jenny is in California. Sarah is in Guatemala... and I'm still here. If it weren't for Peter I would probably be in California right now together with Jenny and having a great time. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret anything. I decided to stay mainly because I didn't think I could bear being away from him for so long. I would have missed him too much. So I stayed...
and now we're getting married next year! 15th May is gonna be the big day. About 50 friends and members of our family will be invited. I would have loved to invite more guests but we're on a budget. I hope 5.000 to 6.000 Euros will do. I read that the average wedding costs between 14.000 and 16.000 Euros so 5.000 would actually be not that much. Anyway, we're still planning. Further information to come...

I know, I know...

Man, it's been a while... Apparently my last post was 1 1/2 years ago... I guess nobody noticed. If anybody did probably one of the 3 or 4 people who actually ever took the time to read this blog. Why am I doing this? Okay, maybe it's really just for myself. Do you wanna know why I picked up writing? cuz I'm bored stiff. Yes, I'm on vacation. And I have nothing else to do. To be honest, I forgot that I even had a blog until now. Probably because many things have changed in my life. I have been in a relationship for a litte over a year now and I am very happy. He's the perfect guy for me. I'll try and load up a picture of us as soon as I find out how that works. right now, I have about an hour left to get ready and catch the bus at 12:30. I pretty much just got up. I haven't showered yet nor have I eaten something. I've been leading a very unhealthy life anyway lately. I hardly get to sleep before 1 am and I wake up at 6 every morning. Peter leaves at 6:40 am for work. Actually, he's on vacation, too. But one year ago he decided that being an assistant in his job as a carpenter is not enough so he studied further and now the 'examination for master craftman's diploma' is due. Is that the correct term for 'Meisterprüfung'? I looked it up at www.dict.leo.org and it gave me 4 different translations. Anyway, the point is he needs to plan and build something in order to prove his skills. He's been planning since February and now he gets 2 weeks to build whatever he's been planning. So what he does is work from 7 am to 6 pm. And I need to make sure he doesn't starve halfway. He gets lunch around 2 pm when I arrive at the workshop. I cook something at home and take it with me when I go there. Of course, once I'm there I cannot leave again so I sit around all day watching him. I think he needs somebody to talk to and it's no big deal for me. It's just extremely boring because I cannot even help him with anything. It's 12:25 already. I actually wanted to be there sooner today but I guess 1 hour sooner or later doesn't make any difference. I don't do anything anyway. :)
Later

Rob Paravonian at Zanies

I know I haven't really posted a lot lately but that is because I was working for school all the time. I like posting videos though cuz it's not a lot of work and doesn't take long to write a short text what it's about :))
Yeah I know I'm lazy and I should probably put a little more effort into my blog... but it's fine the way it is and there haven't been any complaints so far.

This video shows a very good stand-up comedian by the way. I don't want to tell you more, because one -I don't have a lot of time right now and two -I think you should see for yourself. Subjects include affluent roommates being a musician, Pimp my Ride, being searched for drugs and much more.
There's another video of him but I guess I'm gonna save that one for later. So enjoy this one before it is 'no longer available' like all the others... I don't know why they become unavailable... but it sucks. I mean, how are people supposed to stay interested in my blog when every time they try to watch a video it tells them that it's no longer available? That's kinda frustrating. Both for the readers of this blog and for me. Oh, whatever. So you better be quick with watching new videos before they disappear forever

Blogthings!!

Same day, second post.
I have lately enjoyed blogthings. I sat in front of my computer for hours and hours taking these tests. It's so much fun! You answer several questions and find out a few things about yourself. These tests are just for fun though and shouldn't be taken too seriously of course, but check this out:
Question: 'Are you a girl or a woman?'
And this is what it told me:

You Are A Woman!
Congratulations, you've made it to adulthood.You're emotionally mature, responsible, and unlikely to act out.You accept that life is hard - and do your best to keep things upbeat.This makes you the perfect girlfriend... or even wife!

okay... I am supposed to be the perfect girlfriend... then how come I don't have a boyfriend??
Not all tests are worth to be taken though. I'm not sure if I have to know what color orange I am ;-) ...
Anyway, sometimes you really find out something about yourself. I answered quite a few questions of quite a few tests and found out that ( mostly ) the results were true. I even posted some. You can find them at the very bottom of this site.
Take some of the tests and if you feel like it, share your results with me.
I'm always curious about what other people get. Especially when I know you ;-)

I'm getting the impression that I'll have to get used to apologizing at the beginning of every post. Or write more regularly. Ok, so once again: I'M SORRY
Some of you might even start to think I'm lazy ... right, Steve? ;-)

Okay, now here's a newsflash: Some of you already know that I'll be going to the USA in Spring for 2 weeks namely to Massachusetts/New York and California. With my family. Great. I'm sure it's gonna be an experience but I won't be able to do or see the things I want to, so...

I'll travel to the USA in Summer again to see different places. And I'll be going without my parents. Just with a friend of mine. Her parents are acquainted with several people living there so we can stay at their homes. I don't know where exactly they all live... one was in Pennsylvania, another one in Texas... not sure about the others. We will probably travel a bit within the country since we have six weeks' time and stay with different people. But before all that my friends' parents, my parents and my friend and me have to meet to discuss what we want to do during our trip, planning a route and my family ( including me ) will want to know where and with whom we will be staying. I'm not to worried about that because although I have never met these people or seen pictures or anything I'm pretty sure I'll get along with them well.
For all the interested readers of my blog I will continue posting about the developments concerning the USA trip...

The Daily Show - Check-in with Stephen Colbert

Now, I know that one day everybody will be sick of seeing all these videos on my blog, but I just LOVE these American comedy news shows! Of course, I also know some people might not find this as entertaining and funny as I do... Yeah, well... I can't help it if these people don't have any sense of humor AT ALL. I WILL KEEP POSTING ALL THE VIDEOS I LIKE, PERIOD. Maybe you won't like it but I can post whatever I want. And I love Stephen Colbert's comedy and Pirates of the Caribbean, so this one had to be published on my blog. Seeing Stephen dressed up and acting like a pirate is awesome!

Oh, and I forgot to say: leave a comment, because I love comments. So, if you read this and you feel like sharing your opinion with me and all the others reading this... leave a comment. For me :-)).

School life

I guess you have all been waiting for my next post and I'm sorry for the delay. I don't even know where to start... Okay, I'm back to school again. And it's completely different from the way it was. I now go to the highly recommended 'Oberstufe'. For everybody who doesn't have a clue what that is: it's supposed to be the best part of the German school career. Maybe because it's the last part... Anyway, after elementary school German parents can decide how difficult they want their child's life to be. They can either send it to a 'Hauptschule' = easy, 'Realschule' = not that easy anymore or a 'Gymnasium' = difficult. 'Hauptschule' goes from 5th grade to 9th grade and after that you're free to do whatever you like. You don't have to go to school anymore. If you want to continue learning you can either start an apprenticeship or ( if you had good grades ) go to a 'Realschule'. 'Realschule' goes from 5th to 10th grade and the 'Gymnasium' from 5th to 13th grade. After 'Gymnasium' you have reached the highest school education you can get. If you still feel you haven't learned enough you can go to study at a university or College.
Now, back to MY education. I'm in the 11th grade right now and my parents had decided to make my life difficult after 4th grade, so I have visited the 'Gymnasium' for 6 years so far. Now, according to what I have experienced in my first three weeks I gotta say that I LIKE IT! Learning is getting more difficult all the time of course but I have made new friends and it's fun to pass the lessons with them. In the 'Oberstufe' I also had the possibility to choose 3 subjects I wanted to study harder and to drop 2 subjects completely. I chose English, German and Geography as my study-hard-subjects and dropped Physics and Chemistry completely, the two subjects I liked least ( if we don't consider math, because that was a subject I had to keep due to some stupid rules ). Alright, I'm getting sick of talking about school sooo... I'm just gonna end this here. Maybe I'll write another post soon but until then read the 14 posts I've made so far and greetings to everybody who reads this and I guess it's not gonna be my family because they can't remember the internet address. Or perhaps they're just not interested. Whatever.

The Colbert Report: Episode 29 (Dec.12,2005)

Here's something for your entertainment while I'm away.
WARNING: THIS IS AN AMERICAN SERIES MADE FOR PATRIOTIC AMERICANS. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU'RE NOT AN AMERICAN AND EASILY OFFENDED! Otherwise enjoy, because it's really funny. I'm not American, but this is great!

Going to England again

Tomorrow's the day I have been waiting for for so long. My family and I will finally travel to England for 10 days... To the South where it's supposed to be a little warmer and where all the tourists go. I've only been to North-England before to visit relatives and I can tell you: That is not the part of the country you wanna live in. Unless of course you enjoy isolation or you are a sheep. Beautiful landscape but nothing else.
Now, the South is a lot more lively with big cities and sandy beaches. I don't know what else to say about it because I don't know any details and I have only been in London so far.
Anyways, my suit case is packed, I put all the songs I need on my mp3-player and I got a new haircut ( My sister didn't like it of course, stupid 'Stinknudel'. She always disagrees with me. Still, my mom said it looked good... Some support at last.:-)) I really hope the weather's nice in England. If it's not ....... We'll lets just hope it is. :-)
