so i really don't use lj that much anymore, but i realized that i have three years of waldsee memories posted here, and in the interest of tradition, i had to do it again. i'm sure i left out tons of stuff, but at least i got some of it down. feel free to add.

-late night trips to country kitchen during MVO and the waiter who spazzed at nikola for swearing
-the creepy dudes in big trucks who showed up at the beach just as we got to the part of MVO where you discuss stereotypes.

- “biohaus, biohaus, biohaus du bit cool, biohaus, biohaus, biohaus du bist toll, biohaus biohaus du bist wunder-b-bar-b-bar-b-bar-b-bar”

- On that note: “my brother’s problem with women is that he thinks they’re all schlampes. Mine is that sometimes I can be a little clueless.”
- pillow fight with Robert
- gruen
- Juliana fighting with everyone to see the hookup predictions

- Anton is a pretty cool kid, by the way. So is leoni, and of course kai.
- wolf
- Sepp, silke, and the british accent
- Being an alien, and not figuring out what the heck was going on in my verse of the betreuer song, even though it should have been obvious

- Betreuer vprs

test

holy crap...an icon post

birkenbaum — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 10:24:08 GMT

sometimes you have to give up the idea that you aren't a dork. so i have returned to my previous photoshop addiction. cause...house! i think its pretty obvious which ships i like. and happily, expect more icons on their way. i feel inspired. and yes, i realize that the whole white border thing is really overused right now, but i like it, so too bad. EDIT: grr. i realized that at least for the way i have my comments set up, you can't see the borders. oh well, figure it out.
1. 2. 3. 4.
5. 6. 7.

1&2 have lyrics from Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, and 5 is from some random dido song. i'm not remembering which one right now. and at somepoint i'll have some clever text for the base that is currently being used in my default icon, but right now its 4 in the morning and im not feeling to creative. but its just begging for something witty.

birkenbaum — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 06:55:04 GMT

this is for julia, who won't shut up. boo hoo princess. but i heart u, i swear.

so this weekend, i went to MINNEAPOLIS!!!!!!! or, more precisely, somewhere in between wayzata and minnetonka. its complicated. but i think the jist it like its like living in the mamaroneck strip where you live there and go to our schools. except ina goes to hopkins schools. whatever, no one ever said minnesota was logical. but yes, i visited inalein, and had an AMAZING time. (zenzi, don't hate me, i did call you, you just didnt pick up.) we went to byerly's like four times in 3 days. umm, and we went bowling with nik aka the man whore, watched movies, had a pancake party with elfi, liese and rainer, and just generally chilled. it rocked my socks. i love minnesota. umm, but can we talk about how the chicago L sucks? on the way home, i spent 48 minutes on the plane, but an hour and a half on the stupid L that doesn't go anywhere useful and is slow and never comes when you want it to so you end up standing around at the Howard stop waiting forever to transfer from the useless red line to the even more useless purple line. grrr. i wish i was working at winter waldsee this weekend though, the hopkins junior high is going and that means dippy and the man whore and a bunch of other cool kids. sadly, i have a real life though. in this other crazy state.

so this weekend i begin the first steps of sorority recruitment. before you yell at me for thinking about joining a sorority, i'm going to defend myself by saying that there are some cool ones, not just ones for crazy blond girls who dont eat. i swear. but yeah, we're doing some sort of philanthropy day thing. meet people in houses, do charity work, bla bla.

someone please tell me i'm not the only one who thinks oprah's dumb. cause i'm here in chicago, land of oprah, and i'm apparently in the minority. also, i'm dying for real pizza. seriously, i was watching sex and the city the other day, and they were at Ray's Pizza, and i was like, noooooo! i want some. will have to fulfill that craving and get my bagel fix too, cause i'm morally opposed to einstein bagels. i was told that i had to tone down the new york elitism before i got here, and i try my best, but with food its hard to be convinced...

lalala, two weeks till thanksgiving and a bath! baths may be the thing i miss most at college. that or NYCB. and possibly my sister...;)

birkenbaum — Wed, 12 Oct 2005 06:43:50 GMT

well, the lastest installment in my thrilling life is a reading assignment for freshman seminar about cod. we are having a guest speaker about cod. yes, cod. the fish. doesn't that sound exciting? apparently cod are life changing.

ok, so

birkenbaum — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 23:31:30 GMT

um, can we talk about how one of the songs on the latest Wir sind Helden cd is called zuhaelter? Its kind of a wierd sounding song, but it makes me laugh. well, cause, you know. "Gibt mir ein Wort" "...Zuhaelter!" and all the other related jokes. and while we're on that subject, where is the lustige Zitaten list? and how about my pants?

School is going well, two of my classes for this week are cancelled, so that rocks. I can sleep in tommorow! woohoo. and i have to do a german presentation on Bremerhaven, which is as far as I'm concerned the randomest topic ever, but oh well. it shouldn't be that challenging. other then that, not much is going on. carmen is really next week, I got confused, which is going to make it the best week ever, because ballet and opera in the same week? whoot.

my life is lame, i really have nothing exciting to say, sorry people.

birkenbaum — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 04:16:47 GMT

my nalgene smells like the swimming pool, do you think thats bad?

a random musing...

birkenbaum — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 06:24:59 GMT

holy crap a lot of people want to be JC's next summer. Good luck, and remember that the kitchen isn't all bad.

waldsee love...

birkenbaum — Sun, 02 Oct 2005 23:52:51 GMT

so Madison with Maja was really fun. We went to some party for a friend of hers who got engaged and watched garden state and talked a lot. but the randomest part...so we were in her dorm for literally 10 minutes, when her phone rings and says Angelika is calling, but she looses the call because apparetly there's no service on college campuses anywhere. but we figure Geli just dialed wrong. But no. she gets another call, and Geli's like, I'm driving back to Notre Dame from Heinz's wedding in the Cities (which I totally thought was later in October, but whatever), and Madison's on the way, do you want to have lunch on sunday? ao Maja's like yeah, and by the way, Liane's here too. So we had lunch with Geli, and then she's like, you know, I have to go through Chicago, you should come with me so I don't have to drive alone and you dont have to take the bus. so i did, which rocks cause the bus is a bitch. and then we passed a sign for beloit, and i was like, well, nikola's there for the weekend, and she has to come back sometime, so I called her and we picked her up too. which rocked. road trips are awesome

Photos

birkenbaum — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 23:25:32 GMT

there's stuff there, you just may have to scroll down a ways...don't know why

Stacy, Drue, Jennifer and Blanca at the Northwestern/Penn State game. which Drue is convinced we lost becuase we left in the 3rd quarter...we were doing well until them. but football is really boring, and i was tired of standing a row behind the vomit from some drunk guy...

Leila, Elsa, Me, Stacy, Hannah, Anne in our lounge before going out for Leila's b-day

Everyone who went out for Leila's B-day. do i have to list them all? back: Drue, Me, Laura, Elsa, next row, Tiffany, Matthew, Florent, Chloe, Courtney, Leila, Anne, front row, Stacy, Hannah, Tian, Jennifer, Taylor...basically all my friends. as usual, i dont hang out with many guys...i really need to work on that one.

umm, this is from the photo safari (aka, MOOMBA)they're in H&M, aka, the best store ever. Leila, Courtney, Hannah, Mina, Erik (i have no idea how he spells it, thanks to waldsee i just assume its a k) and Jennifer.

Me in a Bobby's hat in an army/navy surplus store on the photo safari. i really like this hat...british people rock.

So no more photos cause photobucket is evil, but two observations:
I just got a fortune cookie fortune that said my lover would never want to leave me. which is awesome, but there is the little problem of not having a lover...darn.

Something we should add to the "everything i needed to know i learned at Waldsee" poster: at least there are shower curtains, so stop complaining! seriously people, its not that big a deal. But know i know all those little girls who had to be given speechs about not wearing a swimsuit to shower are still paranoid about stuff like being naked in the girls bathroom...its funny how waldsee teaches you that running around with minimal clothing, having orgies, and/or crossdressing are all perfectly routine behavior...

anyway, bye for now

froh

birkenbaum — Thu, 22 Sep 2005 00:08:09 GMT

Waldsee, frag mich warum ich sooooooo froh bin. (Warum bist du soooo froh? with head nod, of course) Ich bin soooooo froh weil ich maja und ina besuchen kann. So yeah, Madison next weekend, only for friday and saturday, and Minneapolis the second weekend in november. its going to rock. and i still have to tell my parents. but whatever.

birkenbaum — Wed, 21 Sep 2005 23:31:43 GMT

so today livejournal told me to "Please confirm you are a human below." it was very strange. but anyway, classes are going well, and german is really easy and kind of funny. For example, "aufstehen" is a difficult concept for the students, which requires explination and a lot of waldsee style hand motions. and "umwelt" is way over their heads. and one of our vocab words for the day besuchen. and we reviewed question words today. i taught kinder question words. but, i will actually learn adjective endings and stuff, which is good. and i suppose they're nothing wrong with an easy class. but it could be much more interesting. and i'm not sure i love my professors teaching style, but oh well.
And then i was up til 3:30 last night. talking with Anne and Drew in the basement. which was fun. but i has a 9:30 class, and i was so tired. but my discussion section for tomorrow got cancelled, so all i have is freshman seminar at 11. it should be a good day. actually most days are good days, so i definetely got over the depression of las week.

hmmm

birkenbaum — Tue, 20 Sep 2005 15:41:01 GMT

Classes start today. What a bizzare concept. I haven't gone to class since late April. But anyway, it should be interesting. I meant to do that class posting thing that nikola always does, but it will have to wait cause i don't have much time now. But yes, college is interesting...for example...

"Taylor, did you get eaten by the washing machine?" ~Me and the rest of our suite. Cause she can disappear for hours when she says she's just going to put the wash in the dryer, and we have no clue where she is.

"It's always down in my pant." ~Drew, while playing catchphrase

The creepy guy. So not a good way to end your first week of college.

Stealing free food whenever possible.

Oh yes, and Evanston Target is not as good as White Plains Target or Bemidji Target. But i think it's being renovated, so i should give it a chance. but you can't have target with out the $1 aisle where the stuff is only useful for giving to your gute Fee person.

birkenbaum — Fri, 16 Sep 2005 19:14:47 GMT

i heart minnesotans!

Feeling better today...

birkenbaum — Fri, 16 Sep 2005 15:39:43 GMT

So yeah, things are going better. Hung out with Nikola for awhile yesterday, which was a nice break. we went to marble slab, the crazy place that she talks about every time we go to coldstone. and she's right, its better. well, anything's better than coldstone, cause i'm allergic. so yeah, and we found borders. or i did. queenie knew where it was. obviously. which made my life. isn't this just a thrilling post?

so yeah, random stuff. if you get a package here, they put a little slip of paper in your mailbox that tells you about where to pick it up...its all waldseemassig.

umm, not much else to say. registration is today. should be a party.

moving in...

birkenbaum — Tue, 13 Sep 2005 18:40:22 GMT

carrying boxes in 90 degree weather isn't fun...

More Waldsee love...

birkenbaum — Thu, 08 Sep 2005 01:46:10 GMT

Ok, so today instead of cleaning my room, i went and looked for old waldsee pictures that weren't already in my photo album. this is what i came up with...

a new cutest picture ever...ina and nick. doesn't he look sweet and innocent?

look at baby tobias...doesn't he look so...ahnungslos?

This is why I love old Waldsee pictures...you have a photo of someone you once new and have now forgotten, but then in the corner...Matz! for example.

Every picture of my sister is adorable, apparently, and when you add david looking all young (he's still young, but thats not the point)its all like awwww that never stops

a 2003 betreuer photo. what's benjamins deal? and why do we look so young this year compared to how they look. oh yeah, stupid generations wechsel

look, the year i was in a familie! with bastian apparentlty.

why i think of ina as haus wien girl. and what happened to that mural dealie. innsbruck and zurich still have theirs, but what happened to the others? its like the amazing disappearing old hell blau tischschilds (don't get me started on those, you know i won't shut up)

the habt ihr hunger thing, i think. alternatively just inge/ina looking a bit scary.

look at liese's hair!

wee dietmar. he was pretty cute then, but hansy was cuterr...not sure what i did with those photos though. and look, ilse.

more old photos here: http://photobucket.com/albums/a156/waldseeliane/Old%20Waldsee/
and this year (some of which i stole from nikola and ina), with really entertaining titles, here:

Senior class play was awesome actually. i had sooo much fun. i have pictures somewhere, but you'll have to wait on those because its such a hassle to load them onto the computer. but yeah, everyone did amazing, and even the pit sounded good, at least on friday they did. (mio and wendy, you always rocked.)
and i remembered my 7 lines and everything! but we got laughs, and most people sang well, and my parents even liked lola, the character who is supposed to seduce the main character. which is rare, cause usually with that stuff they're like "thats so wrong." but anyway, it was fun.

new coldplay album is really good! not quite sure what my favorite tracks are yet (i've only heard it once, and you can't really tell from that), but overall its great. there are some different sounds for them, which is good cause at times i tended to think all the old stuff sounded the same. but i do kind of miss the keyboard part from clocks. it rocks.

i think i'm kind of scared of facebook, but i "met" another soon-to-be freshman at northwestern who is going to be a lac du bois counselor, so it would be cool to meet her at mvo.

senior transition day was the most pointless thing ever. except the luncheon, that was nice.
