Because we are Godless heathens, Christmas with my family has always been less of a religious experience and more of a celebration of our collective eccentricities. My father and boy cousins spent most of the day playing Rockband in the basement, Einstein got a bath, and Mom spent a lot of time reading her new abnormal psychology textbook so that she could better analyze the lot of us. Here are some choice quotes from the last few days.

A Love Letter
I feel like we have been out of touch. Like pebbles on the beach, I too find myself drifting away into the blue abyss sometimes, but as always, I find my way back again. It has been too long loves and my heart yearns for your company. I feel the need to catch you up on my journey in this world.
When I was reading hannah's letter to life, I realized I too, needed to express my feelings through letter format. This semester has gone by so fast it is scary. I was feeling quite sentimental last night looking at pictures from school. I have had some very good friends leave me this semester. Suwda, the Asian love of my life, has gone to a far away land called North Dakota, where only God knows what sorts of dreams can come true there. Tim the German, as his title leads one to believe, will be going back to the land of Schnitzel and beer and Hannah, well she has gone home to the exotic land of Madison. I feel I need to appreciate the things in my life more, hence this love letter.
To Humphrey Bogart and Jamie Bond,
I am so glad that I have had the chance to adopt you as my own. You have changed my life. The flip of your fins sends tears down my face. You are growing up so fast. I remember the first day I walked into Petco and witnessed your mommies pick you out of all of your friends. It was a beautiful thing. I am so lucky that Hannah has decided to let you two spend Christmas with me. My life is full of joy when I clean your tank and feed you your color enhancing pellets. May you have all the happiness in the world.
To the Author of Scheisse! The REAL German You Were Never Taught In School,
From the moment I set eyes on your precious gift to me, I was in love. No other book has brought such happiness to me in German form. I am forever indebted to Johannes for bringing your blissful being into my life. Your treasure will bring me happiness on my sadest days and joy in those lacking there of. If only I could tell you how much it means to me to know how to say the f word in three different ways. May your cup overflow with joy.
To My Mt. Rushmore Tshirt,
Never have I found such company that I would constantly want to have you this close to my heart. You have brought a sense of uniqueness only observed by the bearded lady at the circus. I enjoy the attention that is focused on me since you were placed in my hands. For more than five years now we have been together and you have not only presented me with the pride of honoring four great men by wearing them across my chest, but you have also brought me comfort in knowing I can still fit into you beautifully. George, Theodore, Thomas, Abraham, I love you from the bottom of my heart.
To You Dear Reader,
Know that I love you, whoever you may be. Although I am often rude and insensitive, please know that I understand you may have feelings. Now please, have a very merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, non-holiday, new year.
All the love in my heart,
M

Dear Stress, F U. Love, Hannah
Can't a girl play a simple game of Scrabble without having to help lug a strange German no one knows, nearly brain dead from a mysterious drug, to the hospital at 4 in the God Damn morning? Whilst having to deal with finals, Christmas shopping, and losing a roommate/werewolf (miss you Suwda baby!), you'd think that the Gods of Unloading Heaps of Shit on People could find it in their cold, black hearts to give a girl a bit of a break on a Friday night. But NOOOOO, that would be too easy.

Thanksgiving Confessions
Today I spilled a medium sized Cherry Coke all over the floor of the West Towne Mall, pretended I didn't do it, and then watched as some poor mall employees, already overworked by the havoc of Black Friday, tried to manuver a large mop through the food court to clean up my mess. I also tried on some clothes at the Gap and then scattered the sweaters I did not want in random places through out the store. Later I pretended to be napping so I could get out of unloading the dishwasher and just now I ate a delicious Snickers bar before I ate my nutritious pizza dinner. Sorry everyone. Sorry.

Animal for these Crackers, a Monster for these Cookies

The returning student (you know the ones who always raise their hands) in my English class, the one who is a Paranormal investigator/200 lb weight loss patient/former resident of Australia/creative writing student, has now relayed to our class that she is a Psychic and actually helped solve the recent murder case by seeing things in her mind and informing the police..... (#!#@&^). I don't know if my English class can get any odder really, I have now vowed I will never take them again if I want to live a normal life without constant fear.
Anyway, the entire time, I was thinking in my head "I didn't mean those things I wrote in my blog" just in case along with her physic abilities she can read minds. I'm even hesitant to write this now just in case she comes up to me on Friday and says " It was 250 lbs bitch"
Can't keep my hands, my hands, my uh huh hands.
Love, Peace, and all that jazz,

Mariah's Grand Adventure (or lack there of)

There is nothing exciting in my life besides the one big fact that Martin (Swedish boy), is coming up in exactly 50 days. (!!!!!) Besides that, this is what I have going for me.
1) I am getting the worst grade I have ever received in Pols 290
2) I bought a Nalgene bottle for 12 dollars. (that's what you get for buying American)
3) I lost by one space in Pictionary
4) I've gone down to one meal a day, consisting of 57% chocolate
5) I think I may becoming obese
6) I got my foot caught in the sleeve of my jacket when I was kneeling on the rolly chair friday. (embarrassing)
7) I can't name a professor who likes me
8) My heater and tv are broke in my room
9) My computer froze and shut down, and now I can't remember what the original number nine was.
10) I didn't get the job in the library.
11) These fifty days will be the longest of my life
love love love your unfortunate friend,

America, how I love thee

I realize that
A) America just elected the first ever African American President
B) John McCain got his rich, white, ass handed to him
C) Sarah Palin cried devil tears (perhaps it was raining on her face, everyone knows she has no emotions besides bubbly Midwesterner)
D) I LOVE AMERICA
but the real groundbreaking news is that of Tim the German's status in life. That's right.. the results are in folks and in a very very tight race it was decided that tim is a
FILTHY GERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
way to go tim, you were almost a dreckige piratenhure, but no, in a one vote margin, filthy German won. With 15 votes total, we are estimating a staggering 150% voter turnout since I bet some of you voted on different computers.....
anyway. last night was amazing for me, and I think for everyone. I spent it at the WI Dems party eating free food and watching Jeff Smith kick some ass.
I'm proud to be an American, yes sir.
love love love
your patriotic fellow American with a black president (!!!!!!)

Who Ya Gonna call??

I just got done with my dreaded English class and I realized the people in there are even more..... well eccentric than I thought. Of course I realized they would dress up, but the thing is, with eccentric people you are never really sure what they are dressing up as. "Oh you know, I'm that one character from that one movie from that one country that you've never heard of" So here is what I thought they were.
A Pimpess, A Hooker, Girl with weird moving monkey thing on shoulder (pirate?), and judgmental anal people.
Best part, my professor asked this one girl what she was and she looked pissed and said "MYSELF". muahahahhahahahahh. He was red and started mumbling to himself and changed the subject. I about died.
So in our class we decided to talk about ghost stories instead of our normal over analitical nothingness. Crazy monkey girl talked about how she thinks one of her buildings is haunted and crazy hooker girl (who happens to be an older student like in her 40's), actually handed her a card because she is a paranormal investigator (#$*&#(&)) I think my mouth literally dropped open. That was both the coolest and oddest thing I have ever seen anyone do in an English class. I think my teacher was a little weirded out.
So class got done early and I headed to get some peach tea where I saw the most adorable little girls I have ever seen dressed like Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches (which is not many, let me tell you). Each of them was a slice, and they were like 4 so it was adorable not creepy. I did get a bit annoyed when I had to follow them and their parents up the stairs which was the slowest I've ever gone in my life. Who would have thought having giant ass pieces of cardboard shaped bread attached to a small child would slow them down?
Oh and then I saw a guy dressed like a girl kiss another girl while eating spaghettios (lesbians?).
I LOVE HALLOWEEN!
love,
M
p.s. fix your damn fire alarms library!!!! 3 times in one day is 3 times too many if there isn't a FIRE!!

Sometimes I Do Things: The Terrifying Sequel
Hi, I'm hannah
Monday, October 27, 2008
...but I look like a librarian......

Today was just one of those days. Bedsides it being effing cold, windy, and actually snowing a bit, it's been a bit of a draining day.
I woke up for my lovely English class where we discussed vampires and how people find them erotic (?!?@?@), and also about people's obsession with anime and the twilight series. In my mind, I was banging my head against the wall.
I went back to my room and decided to take a nap, which was interrupted 5 times by the constant calling of Cecilia Bergsland. (sorry pfof, I would have answered but my phone was on the ground and I was too lazy to get it), I woke up for Geology where we talked about nothing I can remember. Earthquakes perhaps?
Then I had what I was dreading. An interview for a position in the library. Don't get me wrong, a small personal fantasy of mine is to work at a library, it's the interview part. I think the interviewer has a secret checklist and "Obnoxious" is always checked. I can see them judging me with their eyes.
This interview started off very rocky, because I couldn't even figure out how to even get behind the library circulation desk. Red flag number one. As the down hill spiral continued....
When ever I get nervous, as some of you may notice, I develop of chronic case of word vomit. It just keeps coming out and never makes sense and when I see them looking at me with their speculating librarian eyes, I just keep on talking until it all just falls apart. Maybe in the back of my mind I somehow thought if I just keep saying words, eventually I'd sound like a genius. Nope.
Well after the interview I thanked them for their time but realized I couldn't get my jacket to leave the chair.....
My scarf got caught on the wheels of my chair...... (Cue nervous laughter and a frantic me trying to get my scarf untangled.) When I finally did I said my awkward "No worries, I got it!" sentence and got out of there as fast as I could
Don't be looking for me behind the circulation desk any time soon folks.
Love your bumbling idiot friend,
M

You Bet Your Tucchus
Here I am, watching 30 Rock by myself, in my pajamas, eating an entire meal of chocolate and other bad stuff. Seriously a whole meal:
2 twix funsize candy bars
2 pieces of nutella smothered bread
2 pieces of dove chocolate
1 ice cream cone w/ chocolate chips
1 small bowl of caramel
I think I may throw up at any moment.
So now I decided that I am officially the lamest person alive. Everyone is celebrating Thirsty Thursday, and I'm celebrating........ future spinsterhood.
Oh, and yes, I am planning to be a future Hasidic Jew.
Someone just literally knocked on my door and asked for a corkscrew.
DAMN YOU! How dare you rub your fun lives in my pajama clad face. Yes my shirt has a giant musky on it.. Gotta problem with it?
I hate this,
You bet your tucchus,

And Next- "Laser Mission II: The Second Laser Mission"

For years I thought I was happy. I lived in a comfortable home with loving parents, I wore the finest of clothes, I watched the finest of shows, and I had an awesome cat who could fetch. But this Friday my world was shaken. For on this night I had the chance to experience a little film called Laser Mission in all it's low budget, badly written, anti-Soviet glory, and I realized that I had never known true happiness until then.

*Insert Expletive Here !@#!@@#@#*

There I find a piss drunk German and Austrian saying "LET VUS IN!!!!!" (of course just like that with their German accents)
Well here I am, disheveled as hell, in my pajamas, no make up on, and extremely tired and having to deal with a god damn German invasion. The following is actual dialogue.
"Mariah!! dkljfdlkjf dklj (incoherent mumbling/German?), we need to come in! Aren't you watching the movie?? it's only 11:30, vhy are vu sleeping?"
"YOU DIRTY BASTARDS, ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!?! I HAVE TO GET UP AT 8!!! It's 3 in the fucking morning!!"
"Ov, maviah, it's only 11:30, we are coming in!"
At that point these insurgents decided to push past me and make a nest for themselves on my floor, but not before Insurgent 1, let's call him..... Tim, licks my hand repeatedly like a puppy and proceeds to smack my ass about 5 times while pul
ling me on top of him and Insurgent 2, let's call him Johannes, decides to take pictures of random things.After a while of me swearing at them and explaining how I was going to murder them, I decided to talk to Martin the swede to calm me down. He explained that I should just leave them be and go to sleep, meanwhile Cecilia bff pfof told me I should get even. "Dress them up like ABBA!"
This is the point where I decided that I was going to get these bastards back by getting Hannah's camera and taking pictures of them basically spooning on my floor then writing about it on here!
So I went into suwda and Hannah's room, got the camera went back into the room and proceeded to take pictures. Only interrupted by Tim saying things in German in his sleep along the lines of "popo sex".
So here are some pictures..... Enjoy!
with all the love that I can manage,

The Riz Master

Don't Make me Raise My Pimp Hand to you Bitches
Obscure? I'll give you obscure

Camels are like the giraffes special, less gifted cousin.
That's all I got.
Ok, back to my plain 'ol boring blog,
This weekend was quite an eventful one. Hannah and I experienced all types of cultures and even managed to get a free meal out of the deal. We attended the annual International dinner which was wonderful. We even met people from Uzbekistan, (which is now my new favorite 'stan' country and not that I had a favorite one before), and they managed to tell us they thought the cha cha slide was our "national dance".
We went to a '70's party on Saturday, that was cool too, especially watching rizky follow squirrels and insist hannah and I make "sexy poses by the tree".
All in all, the weekend was a success, besides the fact that I did absolutely nothing homework wise.
I'm sorry my blogs are not as entertaining as Hannah's. I guess I'm inferior in that sense.
Rambo
love, peace, and all that jazz,
M
p.s. my google language setting is on "pirate", take that naysayers.

Leaf or Blade of Grass?
Things I have learned the past few days:
Friday, October 10, 2008
Futbol, football, soccer, your mom

So I'm sitting in the library and I plugged my headphones in like I always do and I went to my usual radio computer station, when bam
"@*@#@$##!@@$@# TUPAC FOR LIFE, hoes and bitches @#@ N****** f*** for life!!!"
I forgot that we were listening to Tupac last night at the highest volume possible. So literally everyone around me in the library heard that music blasting through my headphones, since I had to take them off if I wanted to save my hearing.
That was embarrassing.
Last night hannah and I went to the International Soccer team's game against some American team. I felt like a traitor on the international side... Hannah didn't have a problem.
My head cheered for my international friends, my heart is All-American.
My body took a nap because soccer is boring as hell if it's not World cup.
and only world cup because of that guy in the picture above... Fernando Torres.
sorry guys. GREAT JOB! .... I hear you won?.. Just kidding
ok ok ok. Hannah and I should have more stories after this weekend full of awkwardness.
so much love,
M

Mariah has "Explored" Foreign Lands...
Would Jesus Drink Cocaine.. Yes
She also wrote "Come to Sweden or ABBA will come and kill you!"
This is why I love her, and why she is my best friend.
Anyways, I also think we should sell Texas to Mexico.
Maybe I'm just venting because one of my Poly sci profs is from there and I swear she is out to make my life and anyone else's a living hell.
shame on you Texas, shame on you.
I feel like I'm doing bad in all my classes, probably because I am. I did bad on my Jew quiz, that shit was hard. Really, and I only got 3 wrong, but they were worth so much.
Oh new development from over the weekend. I found out who the owner was of this popular restaurant from my town. Her and her husband and this guy always come in and eat at my restaurant I work at, I have nicknames for them of course (like I do all my favorites). Crazy Albanian woman is what I call her, because A. She might be crazy. B. I think she's from Albania. I don't know.
Anyway, she owns this restaurant and I never knew it. I think it's because one time she came in with her albanian friends (I think), and was like "The Jews are responsible for all the wars..... ohhh I love Lenny Kravitz"...
Now, the Jews are my people, so that is why she is crazy.
She left me a huge tip and I forgive her.
Oh, last night I told hannah that I had an International relations test today and she said I quote, in a sexy, seductive voice.
"oh you have lots of expericence in international relations.." hahaha
this is why I love her too
ok. back to work
love love love

I Can Field Dress A Moose

Dreckige hure
ANYWAYS, I'm going home this weekend to party it up Cranberry style. For those of you who do not know. I'm from the raving party town of Stone Lake where every first weekend of October we celebrate the miserable excuse for food, the Cranberry.
So I'm keeping this blog short, I won't go into details about last night where I lost all my dignity dressed up like Sarah Palin saying how I could see Russia from my yard.

keep logging to see if Hannah actually ever posts them.
Peace out gangstas,
M
p.s. I love hannah and suwda!
