Names I'm Not Allowed to Call Martin


Today Martin set up some ground rules for names I am not allowed to call him in public. They are the following:

1. Wiener

2. Squirt Head

3. Lamp Fucker

4. Dinosaur Mother

5. Son, Uncle, Dad, Father, Grandpa or any other name that implies that less than 16 generations separate us from being related. (I am allowed to call him sunshine as long as I pronounce it with a French accent.)

Amendment to List:

1. Pengwienie (the combination of penguin and wienie which implies he is a penguin's genitalia)

Dear Door,


I knew this morning that when I left for the bathroom at 7 a.m. that I didn't remember my combination to you... but the wind blew you shut before I could rethink my potty decision.

I came back to you after the bathroom and the code didn't work. I tried for 50 minutes! almost near tears because I was tired, nothing made you budge.

I went to the front desk in my pjs asking for a key to let me in, they had nothing.

Thank God my RA came out of the bathroom and helped me with a master key to let me in.

She told me to fill out a maintenance request to have you fixed but I had a feeling it wasn't you who was at fault.

I called Hannah(who was not in the room) at 7:53 to check what our combination was.

I was doing the wrong one, door.

Love Love,

M

Shell Discovery Rocks Playground


H&M has received information from a credible source that a small shell has been found sometime this morning on an Eau Claire playground.
"I found this shell with Frank and Peter at school!" shouted our excitable three year old source, proudly holding said shell aloft as one might an Olympic torch. Upon initial investigation the shell appeared brownish/grayish in color, was about the size of a chess pawn, exhibited a spiralled cone shape, and was most likely constructed from calcium carbonate secreted from the mantle of a freshwater snail. 
We were unable to gather more information about the discovery, as our source needed to go potty, but the source's father later confirmed that "Yes, Frank and Peter are your friends at school."

Dear BFF Tim the German,


Today you wrote on my Facebook wall that you would like me to write blogs for you to read during class, instead of listening about Martin Luther King Jr.

Well Tim, MLK is a very important figure in American History, and I very much dislike the fact that you would rather not listen.


..... but since you insist.......

Here is a blog about your favorite subject in the world.
Prude Americans.

So Tim, yesterday I was in my History of Photography class and I was to make a group presentation of Photography in Advertising. My section was "Marketing to Women".

Picture this, a movie theater size screen, half of which is dedicated to our powerpoint. My turn finally arrives, and I did very well, people were laughing all the time and I even got to use a laser pointer!

I put up a giant picture of David Beckham's underwear ad and made a joke about how I just wanted to see it on the big screen. I also ended my presentation in front of a women with a vibrator. Everyone loved it!

but then we got our class critique papers in which our classmates wrote what they thought.

Everyone loved me except one girl,

she wrote my pictures were too shocking.

Tim, this makes me so happy! Finally, I am considered edgy.

but... probably not edgy enough in doucheland.
(Did you know that dusch is shower in Swedish? I don't mean douche like shower, I mean douche like something old women use to clean out their you-know-whats.)

So Tim, I miss you and I hope you are having fun in class and maybe you should try listening.
After all, he had a dream.

Love Love

Invention Ideas


In this failing economy we're all trying to make a little extra money and if you're the creative type, inventing the next best selling product might sound pretty awesome. I mean the Snuggie is completely retarded, yet it is making millions. Don't you wish you patented the "blanket with arm-holes" idea first? I do.
Brainstorming the next big invention can be intimidating- there are so many options!- but I've decided to do my part and help you guys out. Here's a list of some things that you can go right ahead and NOT invent. It will save you some time.

Bad Idea 1. Nose-ring wolf leashes:

Step 1: find a wolf. 
Step 2: Pierce its nose.
Step 3: Attach a leash to the ring in its nose.
Step 4: Congratulations, you now have an an angry wolf on a leash. Enjoy.

Bad Idea 2. Ketchup Apples

All the nutrients of an apple but with the zesty flavor of an apple that has been coated in ketchup. Eat them at home, in the car, at the ball game! Anywhere that ketchup apples are permitted. Order now and we will throw in a FREE garden trowel! Oh yes!

Bad Idea 3. Trick Pants

Picture this: you are at a party when you trip and accidentally spill some red wine on your pants. You ask your pal who is throwing the party if you can borrow a pair of his. "Of course, good buddy!" He says, "Come right on upstairs!" He tosses you a pair of sweats and directs you to a bathroom to change. You try to don the pants when- surprise!- you realize that the leg holes are sewn shut. Now you just look stupid and your feet can't grip the floor. So you decide:

My friend is a dick. Thank you Trick Pants.

Bad Idea 4: Pennies with Velcro on them

I honestly can't think of anything you could do with this.

xoxo Hannah


Things


There are so many Things that have happened lately, it's hard to put them down into grammatically functioning English sentences, but I will try my bestest. (damnit, I mean best)

Thing 1: I met with my Poly Sci Advisor who only wanted to meet with me because his wife was a resident in Sweden for 20 years. He's from Iran so I have a hard time understanding him, but I did understand him listing every possible bad thing about Sweden including suicide and alcoholism. Oh, but he did offer to introduce me to Sven the Swedish Exchange Student (Score!).

Thing 2: I went for a walk last night and decided to jog for a small stretch. An older man jogged past me but then stopped and God Bless His Soul, asked me "Are your running the marathon this Saturday?" I said no, and he kept on "1/2 marathon? 2 mile?" . My answer didn't change until he asked what side of the trail I liked to run on. I picked a side because I didn't have the heart to tell him I don't actually ever run and that I'm not sweaty in appearance because I had walked the whole trail. He jogged by, and Damn him, I had to swing my arms fast the rest of my walk when I turned around on the trail just in case he saw me again, that way I could easily slip into jog mode.

Thing 3: It's getting so warm here. I usually don't care for warm weather, but it's a pleasant change of pace from fucking freezing.

Thing 4: I have developed fears about walking through tunnels and under bridges, especially the one on my walking trail I go on every night. I'm always afraid I will get raped in there, or that a vampire girl like in "Let the Right One In" will kill me, or worst, a squirrel or chipmunk will fall on me when I come out. Martin has now deemed it "The Tunnel Of Irrational Fears"

Thing 5: Martin recieved a form from the Swedish Migration board today!!!!!!!! This means he fills it out and we are all done with our part of the deal. We just wait. This is a big step!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Things are great.

Love Love,
M
