Natural Gas

Breaking wind/ farting/ tooting/ beeping/ fluffing/ natures perfume- whatever you may call it, I have always noticed that it seems to be that one thing in EVERY relationship that seems to be the awkward "are-we-at-that-level-of-comfortability-with-each-other-yet-in-our-relationship" question that you must ask yourself before you decide whether or not it is ok to pass gas.

In my opinion, I believe it is a marker of whether or not you are truly comfortable and love/like a whole heck of a lot, a person.
For me, I am lactose intolerant- so EVERY time that I eat dairy, my tummy goes kahbloooweee! My boyfriend understands this about me, and as a lactose intolerant person himself- he understands that from time to time- some things of this nature may need to take place, and he has encouraged it.

I wonder what you all think about this issue. When is the appropriate time- if there is one- to let one loose.

Other Blogs

So... I am a follower of quite a few blogs (which I feel that it is a good thing to support our fellow bloggers out there).. However, as I get busier and busier, some of them get pushed to the wayside... I am sorry to those blogs that I can not make daily stops at...

This post is not about an apology as much as it is about my love of other blogs. There are so many cool things out there in the cyber world- images, ideas, etc. and it seems that the people that I follow have a pretty cool balance of all sorts of these things. So I would like to thank bloggers of the world unite for blogging and keeping up with it. I am sorry to our followers if we get behind (we do have lives to lead of our own and sometimes they get busy- we apologize), and we are trying to get better about this, and if there are anythings that you would like to see more or less of on our blog- please let us know! We are more than willing to take into account your suggestions (does not mean that we will listen necessarily, but we read them and take them into account at least)...

Also, as an avid blog follower- and a hugely visual person, I would like to start posting pictures that I find... So- here is the first of some to come!

Quote of the Day

In my German class, my teacher is constantly saying 'ja wohl' or 'jawohl' (not sure which one it is) after we answer a question...

Me: "What does that even mean?"
German Buddy: "I don't know... probably stupid idiots."

Well, I looked up both these expressions on Google translate today and found out the following translations:
1. Ja wohl: surely
2. Jawohl: yes; yup; yes Sir! and Aye, aye Sir!

I'm guessing the teacher's not saying Aye, aye Sir! after we answer her questions because the last time I checked, German class was not held on a battleship. I think the 'stupid idiots' sounds a bit more up her alley.

My Valentines Day... Oh Me, Oh My...

So, as you followers may know by now... I love the day of love... Ha! So, for the big day, I did nothing of any consequence... My boyfriend was out of town, so there was no pressure to get out of bed and make myself look presentable, which was SO nice (not that i normally do- if you are reading this). I slept until 1pm, which I don't think I have done since sophomore year. When i finally decided to get out of bed (nearly an hour later), my roommates family was there to greet me eagerly with smiling faces. I spoke with them for a little while and when they decided to go eat lunch, I had the apartment to myself. I do not want to be rude- but the day was to be mine and mine alone- having to entertain and put on a smiling face was tough- especially after sleeping for 12 hours (is that mean?).
Next, I put in a movie, faked some homework, and putzed around for awhile. Now, I am not one to be fussy- but after sitting in my loungewear for 5 hours and watching lame movies- trying not to dwell on the fact that I had nothing better to do with myself- I was actually getting bored with myself. I know you are all wondering- how is that possible!?!?! I know I was wondering the very same thing... So I decided to share my wonderful self with my fellow blogger and walk next door.
She had a hot date to get to- of course- so I went home after a few hours, and ordered pizza, lit some candles, and chowed down on said pizza and enjoys my night of bliss alone! It turned out to be not so terrible. Oh, and the bf ended up skype chatting me moderately romantical sorts of things (cliche-ish, but sweet none the less- and I cannot believe I just said/wrote that)... Now, I loathe the day of love, but a night of eating, movies, and candles makes it tolerable to any person- you have to admit, am I right? And sorry if you enjoy the holiday- because many of you seem to...

Valentine's Day is on the Way...

As of Sunday, Hallmark and floral shops will be back in business. February 14th is a day that some absolutely love (the true romantics) and others despise (the typical cynic). It really is a nice holiday... give your lover a sweet card, maybe some chocolates and a bouquet of lovely flowers... but don't you think this is something that should happen more often than one day a year and for no reason at all?

My view of Valentine's Day is that it's a ridiculous holiday for couples to go out of their way and do things they wouldn't do on any other day of the year. I think that we should be doing these things year round... something like it's Tuesday and we're going to celebrate just because I love you...
