"Das ist nicht meine Ecke."

I am here and I am there and I am everywhere and you are here even though you're not here and I am there even though I'm not there and even though they've never been there, they're there now.

I am watching/listening to a video of Explode Into Colors play a show that I was at a year ago. I am in Germany listening to my host mother and her step daughter talk, while waiting for photos that I took two weeks ago to load onto the computer.

Shit's weird.
(Sorry mom and dad; using the parlance of our times)

I have a tan for the first time since I was a child.
Bjane and Silas are totally infatuated with my tattoo, and the other day they "gave me a tattoo" of their names on my arms. Adorable.
I don't understand how I can barely understand or speak the same language as a group of people that I've known for less than two weeks, yet I totally understand them as people and feel comfortable around them.

I really wish we could communicate better, though. It's one of those "I understand what you're saying, but I don't understand what you're saying" situations.
Can't wait to talk and just have people know what I'm saying.

Anyway. Oh! Birte went back to Flemhude (where we live normally) today to go shopping with her sister because the weather was crap, and she brought my camera with her, but also a converter so it can charge, as well as an extra memory card they have so I can finally take pictures! but can't post them until we get back because we don't have anything to connect the camera to the computer. Oh my godddd.
Oh well.

And I'm done.

  2. I don't really have a work schedule...They're treating me kinda like an exchange student. I just hang out with the kids and help clean up and do chores when asked to. But when we get back to Flemhude, I'm gonna have to hang around the house in the mornings before the kids go back to school because Anette will be working in the mornings.
