"If we get anymore white people in here, it's going to be a suburb! "- Motormouth Maybelle, Hairspray

Germans are busybodies.  I was walking home this afternoon and went into my building.  There were two older ladies talking in the lobby and I walked in without using the key as it was already open.  I greeted them Guten Tag and the next question I got was Machen Sie hier?  What are  you doing here.  It took me a moment to realize that they were talking to me so I said, Ich lebe hier.  I live here...and they were all...SORRY!  Bitches, whatever, mind your own damn business. 

Im having dinner tonight with a "friend" who is having a birthday.  I cant consider him a friend as he rubs me the wrong way and whenever we meet, it is all about ME ME ME ME ME...and my problems.  I  wouldnt have gone but he ran into me at the trainstation on my way home and he cornered me.  The  only redeeming quality he has is that he is an American but he's been living here for so long that when I speak to him in my normal cadence, he doesnt seem to understand me so I have to talk a little slower.  Whats the point then?  He's B's friend not mine and Ive told him numerous times that I didnt care for his company...oh well...I'll have to bite the bullet and go just so I wont be called a bitch behind my back.  The Expat community here is small so once you get a reputation, no invites come along...soooo high school

I voted today at the Consulate.  Its McCain all the way....PSYCH!  If I have to see Caribou Barbie in office for the next 4 years I will have to burn my passport.  School was ok today but I arrived late as Ive been suffering from a severe case of insomnia for the past few day which has kept me up till 2 in the morning.  I woke up so late that I didnt have time to take a shower.  EWWWW...so Im going to pull a Karen Silkwood right now and scrub this day away from me...
