So germany was wonderful, I was sooooo super busy the whole time thursday night I spent the night at my friend anna’s house with my friend cari and her exchange student josephine. We stayed up super late catching up then the next morning we all went to school together. I kept it a secret that I was coming back to Germany, so only Cari, Anna, and my host family knew, and Friday in school it was crazy, all my friends were so excited, as was I, a couple of them started crying. so then i went back to my host families house after school, did this childrens group thing with my host sister, got bitched at by my host mom, who made me cry, but she’s always been a bitch, so whatever. jana my host sister felt realy bad about it too, so it made me feel better, and everyone else in the family was super nice. friday night i went to my friend pia’s house for a before we go out drinking session (even though i barely drank) then we went to the bar we always used to go to, saw more friends, and then got some doener, a german take on turkish food, which is delicious. Saturday I went rock climbing with my host family all day then went over to anna’s house with cari, tiane, anna, and isi for a game/movie night, we watched american history x and it was crazy intense, i started crying at the end. Sunday got up really early to go skiing with the host family which we did all day, which was also nice. Then sunday night went over to anna’s again where all the girls were and we had raqulette and hung out. I got back to my host families house, packed and tried to go to sleep. Instead of sleeping I threw up 5 times during the night and had a terrible headache. I took a 9 hour long train ride to get back to Prague today, and feel like complete shit. The weekend was great and super enjoyable, but really took everything out of me. I’m hoping by tomorrow I’ll be doing better, I gotta go out and get a present for my mom and sister, otherwise I think I’m just going to be in bed trying to get better. My flight outta here is wednesday at 7 a.m. so i have to be at the airport by 5, which will suck, but at least I get to go home, and then only 3 days and I’ll be flying back to wilson. Oh goodness, I can’t wait. sorry this so diary-esque, but i don’t have a journal with me, so i had to get it all down. It was the weirdest mix of emotions though, being back and all. and it’s hard to believe the trip is finally coming to an end. well i will talk to you girls later, love love love love love, and miss you all like crazy,
yeah. thats right bitches. We got a star on our hands and she is about to make me some fast cash! So here is the PLAN!
1st video will be a shorty. It will be a small clip of our very own melanie doing a little dancing.
2nd video will be fucking EPIC. We are going to get melanie very high, then she will do her intense interprative dancing to Electric Feel by MGMT. Then I, Stef Biron, will be the editor and add some crazy cool physcheldic backgrounds. It will be awesome.
After this we will post it on youtube . . . and then all of a sudden BAMMMMMMM! it will start becoming like this crazy underground hit, and then one day we will be chillin in the twat spot drinking martinis when all of a sudden . . . BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM good morning america calls. Yep thats right bitches Diane mother fucking Sawyer will be on the other end saying she wants an interviews with the twat spot girls who are just blowin up onyoutube.
Yep just imagine . . . five minutes of fame, well probably more like five seconds but hey I will take what I can get.
Life here on the homefront has been relatively stagnant. After the family/holiday rush, my feeling of boredom snowballed and intensified into a mind-crushing guilt complex that I was sitting on my ass, being depressed and not contributing to the world, and my damaged emotional system wrecked my immune system, and I got the flu. So I slept for about a million hours and now I’m back in action, being super motivated and in better spirits.
I am getting paid to finish painting a giant mural of Jack and the Beanstalk for my sister’s baby in her basement/playroom, so I’m starting to work on that and get my creative juices flowing. While I do that I babysit my niece, Maggie, who’s just a year old and starting to talk. She has two tiny front teeth that leave little indents in everything she bites and it’s so cute. Also I have been running 2 miles every morning and I feel so healthy. Actually I hate exercising but I’m telling myself it feels healthy so I keep it up. Twice a week I’m doing this soup kitchen volunteering and I’ve met some really nuts people… this one dude started shouting at me in Russian because I didn’t have any tin foil for him to take his leftover soup. See? Totally motivated.
So if not Canada, where are they? NH still? I’m jealous, I would rather be in a snow cabin with my friends cooking dinner than at home.I’ll call soon.
Rach, I’m so glad the trip is getting better, your last post was encouraging on that front. I hope you have a blast in das fatherland, and don’t let your host family get to you – if you’re not good enough for them they have some fucked up standards and they probably just need some one to get them stoned.
I’m ’bout to curl up with my dorky science fiction books. Safe adventuring,
Well Liz, looks like you and I are holding down the blog fort for a while. Mel, Mila and Steffie are all in a mountain cabin somewhere, without internet, or so they said. Anyways, here in Prague things have taken a sharp turn for the better. Paul finally got off his lazy ass, although only for a few hours, and tried to take me to a museum (closed due to some diplomats family portrait was being taken) so to get out of the cold we went to a cafe, where I enjoyed a hot chocolate with nuts. It had carmalized nuts sprinkled on top and when it melted it was delicious. Then we went to another antique store, and things were really working in my favor there. I got this wonderful little harmonica, it tastes like old man and cigarettes, and I can’t yet play it, but it’s receiving a fine amount of monofied spit. After a bit of antique shopping we went to a gallery and saw some pretty good art and then headed home. When we got back I got an e-mail from my dad, asking what he had to do to get me to go to Germany (I had written him that morning saying I was bored out of my mind and we weren’t going to Germany). So now my dad and I are going half-sies on the ticket to and from Germany, and tomorrow morning I’ll be rolling out of this place! Two of my closest friends are picking me up from the train station and we’re all spending the night at her place and then going to school together on friday, where I will surprise my friends and fellow classmates with my presence. We have some weekend plans, and I imagine I’ll spend some time with my host family, but hey they’re already let down by me why not let em down some more? Anyways, I got to know Paul’s roommate a bit better tonight, he hung out with us finally, making the whole me sleeping in his room thing a lot less awkward. He is really nice and cute, I can’t believe he’s twenty-five, he just seems like a big kid. But we talked about religion and poetry, and he tried to teach me to read czech, and I have to say, he was right it’s pretty easy, everything is pronounced how it is spelled. So anyways, that is how my day turned wonderful and my excitement levels have risen, and I only have a week left, and it’s going to go by in lightening speed and then we’ll all be back at Wilson, one big happy Twat Spot family. Oh goodness, I just had such a magnificent day, and to think it started off with student loan shit, and a fight with Paul. Oh what a difference a day makes.
This is Stefanie, Mel and Jamila ringing in to give y’all the 411. They arrived yesterday, what a glorious day it was. We went and watched the sunset on the beach, smoked, and ate some delicious pizza, well Jamila ate most of the delicious pizza even though she wasn’t “hungry”. Today we walked on the beach went downtown, colored and got our pictures hung up in a restaurant called Dos Amigos, then we smoked and saw the curious case of Benjamin Button. Pretty good movie by the way. Now we are making a little dinner. Yep, not bad. Tommorow we will head to the mountains.
Oh yeah and we are NOT going to Canada. Jamila dosen’t have an accurate birth certificate or something, so we are now going to try and find a new adventure which shouldn’t be to hard because I personally am feeling very inspired and thoughts have been pumping in my brain non-stop.
Rachie!!! You need to get some weed, make some art!! seriously. Im not going to lie it does sound a little boring over there. But hey 1 week 2 days! thats nothing my friend. . . just think in a matter of two weeks we will be standing in line for cowpie high as a kite waiting for our delicious mexican food and margarita! Oh how exciting. Do you have a phone yet?
Elizabeth, you should call us soon.
(–stefanie)
I love you….and you.
We saw Benjamin Button and his curious case at the movie theater and it was fucking long and depressing. A good movie, granted tis the first i’ve seen in a good while, and no problem seeing Brad Pitt and his sexy self.
I like New Hampshire and I like Hogan and the snow is always here. It’s like the North Pole if we had colonized it by now.

Well, Paul and I AREN’T going to Germany, us being lazy and not trying to book something earlier lead to all forms of transportation to be booked or way to expensive. I still haven’t told everyone in Germany yet, kinda scared to break the news…so I’m thinking, once my brother, FINALLY takes me to go get weed, I’ll get stoned, write them, and then not respond, pretend I don’t have internet or something. Then when I get home I’ll write them, and tell them I’ll send their christmas presents, alright so I don’t have any presents, but I’ll buy some and then send them, so maybe material presents can make up for my lack of presence. So, since we didn’t go to Germany today like we hoped, Paul and I have been hanging out in his apartment doing NOTHING, well, okay, Paul downloaded Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 for Mac, and gave it to me, and we’ve both been playing a lot, researching stuff on wikipedia, and paul’s been chatting with his girlfriend. But seriously that’s it. It’s so fucking boring, and I guess Paul doesn’t realize it because he gets to talk to his lover girl everyday, so it’s ok. It’s also been snowing like crazy, which is Paul’s main excuse for not doing anything. We went out today to go antique shopping, and while waiting for the tram Paul complained so much that I was like well whatever, let’s just go get groceries and go home. We went out for dinner tonight, delicious fried cheese yummmmmmm, but of course, Paul didn’t want to go buy weed in this weather, and there’s no way in hell I’m going out alone, after dark, in a country where I can’t speak the language. You gals know it took me a while to feel comfortable at Wilson without someone there, even though I prefer having Steffie as a bodyguard even now. Well anyways, we might go to the capitol of Slovakia, I couldn’t tell you what it’s called though. and the likely hood of my brother getting off of his ass to make any sort of plans is questionable. Oh, and since I hate sleeping in a room by myself, I know I’m very dependent, we moved my bed into the same room as my brother and his czech roommates room, which wasn’t awkward until his roommate came home. The whole thing is awkward, weird, and boring. But a week and two days left, that’s countable on the hands. Oh and Freesia provided me with inspiration to research all this different outsider art and assemblage art, let’s just say I can’t wait to get home(reference to wilson) and start creating things, there is a flood of great ideas rushing my head!!! Gahh, back to roller coaster tycoon for me. Enjoy Canada ladies!
Yep, thats right people got frostbite on my big toes. It really sucks. One of my toes is all purple at the top and i can’t feel it. But hey it was a great day of skiing and hoepfully my toe will return to almost normal in a couple of months. Yesterday me and my cousin Jackson drove to Jay peak in vermont which is only 20 miles or so from Canada. It was freezing but they have more snow than anyone else in the east. It was a really good day, I love skiing with my cousin he is a fun guy. We were going to stay the night at sketchy Grampa Grunts but we decided not to and sold our tickets and went home. Im home now waiting for Mel and Jamila. My parents are pissed because our toilets are all fucked up and it leaks through the ceiling. Yeah its really fucking disgusting. Last week turned out to be really great week. HAnging out with my family was good and being in the mountains was just awesome and I really didn’t want to leave.
Tomorrow morning at approximately 7:00 in the early hours of the morning Jamila and Melanie will head out on an adventure of sorts. Will there be snow? Will there be sun? Only time will tell.
We got lost and then Jamila bothered a cop car by creepily knocking on his passenger window. This girl doesn’t know her way around the city she’s grown up in. Actually we’ve gotten lost twice today. And we’ve only been out two times essentially.
I’m looking at the washington monument, the view from her room window. Wondering if the Washington Monument is supposed to commemorate his penis. Maybe it’s some overcompensation instead?
If anyone gets bored and wants to call tomorrow feel free. We’ve got 10 hours of driving, a whole lot of time to spend in that car together.
