When in Rome...or La Chaux-de-Fonds

Went to an awesome party last night. I'm sure they are exactly like the parties American teens have but ive never been so i wouldn't know haha. I wore a tiny black dress with awesome shoes cept its never smart to wear heels when there is beer spilled on the floor. I slipped like 50 times. It was really funny to watch the drunk pple do stupid stuff.

I met a lot of cool people there. Everyone was really nice despite my lack of french skills.

Before the party I went shopping with Soraia and her friend. The party had a dress up theme wear you could either come as a disco dancer or a Rock star, so of course i chose rock star but turns out its a lot easier to find Disco things in Switzerland, finally Soraia found a dress and I didn't want to keep looking so i tried it on and it fit so i just went with it. Although i was incredibly embarressed to wear it in public but i figured noone knows me so why not.

Went to a pub with her and her friend as well. Her friend's name is Luis (not sure how to spell it, you never know here) and he has a girlfriend in LA so he speaks pretty good english so it was fun to talk to him and Soraia and hang out. the "pub" was more of a starbucks type of place, a starbucks with a bar that is, but they serve coffee and pasteries it was pretty neat.

Soraia is so awesome, she's very sweet and helpful. I'm glad Lidia introduced us cuz i know at first i was hesitant about meeting her but now i know shes cool so i'm happy. She's caught in the middle of a funny love triangle. It's nice to know people are the same no matter what language they speak haha.

P.S. Boys here are HOT!!!

Best Sister Ever

"haha wow, no nadia i dont sleep with strangers even if they have the voice of a god."

Oh Erica the brilliant and wonderful things you say...I just wanted to post this up for everyone to read and see how wonderful you are to not go around and sleep with strangers.

I loves you!!!!

For arguments sake

I never said that i couldn't handle two children, I said its not fun. And besides your personal life IS over once you have kids. Your whole life is dedicated to them and everything is on thier time. It's no fun, and since you don't have kids nadia, nor are you taking care of any, you wouldn't really understand. Kids are a blessing sure but when you've barely begun to live your own life it isn't really smart to make yourself responsable for someone else's.

And double ew, i really don't want to hear about your friends sexual habits. I am quite aware that pple have sex, but i dont need the mental image thank you.

Seriously now?

Erica having a kid does NOT end life as one would know it...you are so retarded. Just because YOU can't handle taking care of two kids doesn't mean that the rest of humanity's life is over when they reproduce. Honestly now some people are built to handle it and others aren't...you would be in the second category. I for one can't wait til I can have a family of my own. My life won't end at all despite what you may think.

and yes sex makes babies especially when two married people go at it like rabbits. Sex is a natural part of marriage...it happens and in some cases often. What are they teaching kids in sex-ed these days? HAHAHAHA JK

So I am painstakingly aware that I have no life outside of my laptop. Honestly I know it is because I am not in school right now but really lifeis so tedious when you don't have work or school to occupy the mind. I would hang out with friends but they all have LIVES and who wants to put asidet heir life just to humor the sad lifeless mass that is now me? Okay so my friends would and have actually done that for me so I shouldn't put it that way....it is more like I won't let them do it.

I need to do something with myself and soon.

Super DUper weekend

Firstly let me say ew. Nadias freind is pregnant and you have no idea how much i didnt want to know that. For 2 reasons. One: I really don't need the mental image that one of her friends had sex, i mean really? ew. and Two, the GIRL (and i stressed the GIRL) is barely older than I am, and its just wierd. She's not letting herself have a life, now the kids gonna be her life which if you read my earlier post, its not as fun as it seems.

Ok now back to my awesome weekend. written in the style of the FML blog, sorta. i was reading that blog and it sorta sticks with you.

Saturday (times are approxomated)

1 pm: Bought a ticket to neauchatel, boarded a train, sat on said train for 20 mins, realized i was on the wrong train. FML

130 pm: Ended up in Neauchatel anyway so don't FML, walked to Gen's (my aunts best friend) MANSION (and i mean litterally MANSION) She asked me if I"d stay with her for the weekend, so of course i said YES!!

230 pm: Gen and I go to a local "mall", but turns out theres a huge promotion and everyone in the city is at the same mall. The stores we went to didnt have the calender Gen was looking for FML

245 pm: Bought some apples for some apple crumbley and then found said calenders (even when the clerk said that they had none)

320 pm: Gen drops me off downtown. I got to see an art gallery that looked like a guy threw a lot of paint on some paper then made it look like mountains or houses, it was lame. FML

330 pm: Went to another gallery that featured pencil drawings. Now THAT was cool, they pictures were bigger than me and it was all a pencil drawing, of wierd things like the orchestra on the titanic being swept away into water and some naked pple in bed but thier heads werent attached to thier bodies, it was nuts!

345: Went to the antique book shop that i was dying to go to. Bought a book on Bacon, Francis Bacon, its amazing.

400 pm: walked down to the shore of the lake and found a random pier. Went walking on it to see snow in the Swiss Alpes. Took some pictures, but decided it was cold and decided to walk back to Gen's

430: Got lost on my way to Gen's FML, found great views of the city and also learned how to get to gen's house from now where. Plus I found this awesome sign that cracked me up. It was graffitid but still.

500 Pm FInally get back to Gens, clean myself up a bit and we both go to an Orchestra/piano concerto. It was amazing, there were only 17 pple playing total, and 13 of them were kids from ages 15-18. The best music I've ever heard in my life.

600 pm: walk back to Gen's but step in a giant puddle. FML. After that we just had dinner and talked in front of the tv (which had an opera on) then went to bed

Sunday:

900 am: Go to church with Gen, its all in french but i dont mind. They had real wine for the communion. ha! awesome! cept its tastes gross, oddly i think i like grape juice better.

10 am: We go back to gen's house and her daughter in law and 2 grandsons are there. The daughter in law is from Canada, so she spoke perfect english so it was pretty cool. THe little boys were adorable, but shy of me.

330 pm: Basically spent a lot of time with Gen and the boys while they talked and played, so at 330 Gen and I went to an Opera concert where the childrens chior accompanied two proffesional Opera singers (who were married to each other. wierd) The opera singers where friends of Gen, but wow, the kids were ok but the opera pple, were awesome, gave me chills.

530: Gen drives me back to Chaux de fonds and at the same time that we arrive, Andrea and Family arrive. FML hahahaha jk not really FML

SO basically it was an awesome weekend. Life is good, well sorta, alomst kinda, well i might as well say it FML!

YES

I will GLADLY accept Gerard Butler as my birthday gift...oh the things I would let the man do to me hahaha

Just wanted to accept the gift and everything before the offer runs out...Oh Erica you know me too well!

OMG one of my best friends is PREGNANT!!! She is due next July! We are hoping the baby is born on Harry Potter's birthday because come on that would be awesome! She already is craving food...liked mashed potatoes, she has to pee all the time, and she is grumpy....isn't motherhood amazing???

The youngest sister's Birthday is today and we celebrated with cake and going to Mesquite to eat at the Chuckwagon Restaurant...I can not believe she is 13 years old!!!!!! She is almost as tall as me...okay she has a few more inches or so but still! I love her haha

Oh and apparently my parents are older than Monday Night football and Sesame Street and something else but I forget what it was that the siblings were saying. I am surprised the parentals let the little ones live after saying that...

Just for you Nadia

A little belated (ok a lot belated) B'day gift

Why don't we just dance?

Its a very good question I think. WHen you have problems? just dance, its simple, its easy and it makes you feel so much better even if you dance like a complete spaz. In fact if you dance like a spaz, i think it makes you feel even better than if you dance well.

Life is wierd, even when it seems like you have a charmed life, its not always true. You can have tons of blessings and still be miserable. I should know, I'm sitting up in my own room on my own floor that has my own tv, computer, bathroom and even a foosball table and yet, I'm not happy.

I'm happy with what i have but not with how i spend my days. I know that if i really wanted I could do other things but simple fear holds me back. Also, I only have 2 days of the week to do as i will, the rest are spent watching the girls.

Parenthood is not for the adventerous. Its repetative, the same games, conversations, tv shows everyday. The worst part is there is no time for yourself, and if you're a working parent its even worse, I don't see one minute of the day that Andrea spends doing something she likes to do, evrything is either work, or kids. Where is the fun in that?

I've always been back and forth with having kids and now, I don't think i will. Kids arent fun, they are work, you have to clean up after them all the time, make sure they are doing what they are supposed to, and if thier homework and chorse are finished then you spend the rest of the time keeping them entertained.

Sure they are cute and they say the darndest things but i really just don't see where the parents get the pleasure of parenting from.

I'm not saying i don't love Charlene and Flor, they are great kids, but taking care of them during the day is hard work.

I had some me time today, downloaded a bunch of new songs, and danced away, also cleaned my room, and my bathroom, they both look so purrty now. I found a bag full of candy in the bathroom cupboard tho, it was gummy bears and gummy worms, so i kept it of course, but still strange to kind in your bathroom.

P.S. I love you Sister!!

P.P.S. I love someone else too!! hahaha

Brilliantness Squared

Erica totally is no longer poaching internet off of a neighbor anymore...at least that is what her facebook said not too long ago.

I for one am NOT missing Disneyland around Halloween time because I WENT!!! I even got on the Space Mountain ride when it was all scary..and let me tell you it was SCARY...ish....okay only a few parts were hahaha but really it was BETTER than plain ole original space mountain which is pretty impressive anyways but WOOT for the Halloween version. Disney never fails!

Got a new bank account today because my old one had been HACKED and those buggers STOLE what little money I had....ugh I hate those stupid peoples who would do that, but the banker was cute who helped me so it totally made the whole process worth it hahahaha.

I really think I need to get out and date more...I feel like a old hermit living in the bat cave called my room. Seriously if I was a Vampire the male species would be my sunlight or if I was a werewolf they would be my silver bullet (like the analogies???)

Well I am off to make some hot cocoa or Apple Cider.

Ma seour
