interwebs pt II

online dating is a joke. seriously. even the sites that charge the men to get rich ones in...
i made a profile on a couple sites, hoping there might be some fascinating, wealthy man out there for me... big surprise, of all the american guys who contacted me, i thought i had found a decent one, but WRONG! he's a cheap bastard who won't drive to see me, pay for me to visit him, or send me presents. he wants me to drive around 4 hours on my own time, with my own money.
most men are assholes. and most women are bitches.
today in german we were asked to discuss our best friends. i said to the girl i always talk to, "ich habe keine freunden" lol ain't it the truth :P
why even bother when most people are complete idiots. and no, there aren't any better ones on online dating sites. don't even bother.

the internets

so i think using the internet is starting to fuck me up IRL. today i was getting dinner in the caf when the manager came up to where i was and asked what there was. i said "nothing that looked good" and laughed... he looked so pissed. later he brought me a piece of steak. it was burnt :(
i have a tendency to troll hardcore OL, and i know it's bad, but now it's starting to affect how i act. lol i feel awful about how much of a bitch i've been lately...

me at lake michigan

:( i miss the warm sun and the beach. i hate winter in the midwest... this year the weather went straight from spring to winter, not my favourite!

tobacco :)

so i don't smoke very often, a few packs a year. idk, sometimes when i'm bored or can't focus it helps me a lot. i love the taste more than anything. i usually smoke newports, or capri 120 menthols. lol they're probably the girliest smokes ever but they taste good. but recently i started trying other forms of tobacco. my favourite is bandits :) i get the best head buzz from wintergreen bandits. i also love snus, but the kind they sell in america isn't as strong as dip. still though, the camel frost is amazing, it's extremely refreshing and cool. the most amazing thing about snus is that it isn't even bad for you, despite what our liberal country wants us to think. studies have shown that unlike dip, prolonged use of snus won't erode your gums and the lining of your mouth, because it's dry. i really just like it because it's nice to have that nicotine feeling in class or during an exam. it really focuses me!
one last thing, america, it's pronounced "snoo-s" not "snuhs" lol you silly people! at least that's what USA Today said when they published an article on it a couple years ago and interviewed the swedes who make it. i assume since they invented it, the swedes know how to say it.
that's all for today folks! gotta get to bed now.

i'm back

well, there has been a rather long hiatus, i know. i was on summer vacation and i don't have internet at home. another long, boring year of school has begun. i am still unemployed, doubtless because of the economy.
On that note, FUCK OBAMA! his so-called economic reform seems to be doing more harm than good. take a look at the CARS program. widely praised as just the thing to save us, i believe it will lead to dire long-term consequences. sure, lots of people just bought a new car (even if it was a damn jap car) but what's going to happen in the next 5 years, when everyone has a new car??? i think the american automakers will go down for good (except ford and chrysler, with jeep as its savior). what then, obama? and how about the incentive for first-time home buyers??? sure, it has raised the value of homes, but they were astronomically inflated in the past decade! what about in 5 years, when people of my age are looking to buy a home? i predict the prices will be too high for us to afford, leading us to become a nation of renters, like germany. a home is supposed to be your biggest investment, but how are people my age going to be able to make this investment when all the free money runs out and we are left unemployed? i'd like to say this to congress, but those idiots probably wouldn't comprehend it anyway. oh well. FUCK OBAMA ( i voted for nader, don't blame me :) )

vacation!

so one more summer is almost finished and i still feel incomplete. there are so many things i had planned that didn't happen. i'm trying to not be too upset, but it's hard not to. things never work out the way i planned. i guess that's just life :(

my pie recipe

so i've been told i make "the best pie in indiana."
hehe.
i found this recipe through trial and error, and the measurements aren't precise, but precision is less important than you'd think.

dough
- 2.5 cups flour
-1/4 cup sugar
-2/3 cup crisco/ shortening
-2 T butter
-1/4 cup water

cut butter and crisco into flour and sugar into little crumbs, add water and form into a lump. cut in half. roll out half for bottom on wax paper and turn out into pan

filling
-2 small bags of berries. or apples, sliced, enough to fill pan overflowing
- 1.5 cup sugar
-1 T butter, cut up
-1/4 cup tapioca

put filling into bottom crust. roll out top and cut into strips. lay on the pie in a criss-crossed grid. sprinkle with sugar

cook at 375 until it bubbles in the center. cover crust with foil when it turns brown.

enjoy :)
i just made this using mixed berries from aldi mart. it was super delicious :)
