Wein ist goot

So Vienna, one week. It has been...full. We've done so much in one week, it feels like we've been here a month. There were a few mishaps due to the language barrier (like being thrown out of mass) but other than that things are going smoothly. We've gone to three meuseums andI've already done two of the things I wanted to do in Europe, see Klimt's Kiss and drink European beer.

The food here is definitely interesting. I really hate something called kaiser-something that are tasteless dough filled with nasty bitter jam and topped with gross gunpowder. Apparently, these are a great treat. Yeah, ew. edit! its Germknodel !
beware. Well other than that everything's great. lots of yogurt, yay yogurt!

I also have a fine collection of plastic toys already. ^_^;; My faveorite is deffinetly a little green aligator key chain. Gotta cut back though, or I'll spend all my cash on them.

They have a killer Funk scene, cute boots, and well trained dogs. Looks like it's going to be a fun semester!

10 Words That Describe Pie

Childish - I think that innocence and awe in the world around you are two important traits that most people lose far to early in life. I hold onto these things, and other things associated with childhood like toys and dressing up because I feel like simple amusements are important to being happy and fulfilled.

Well Meaning - I think intentions are just as important, if not more important, than the outcome. I like to know that even if I do something, and it ends up hurting someone, its comforting to know that I had good intentions and only wanted what was good for them.

Artist - I love drawing, I love painting, and I feel that I'm a very creative person. I hope to be an artist as a career, so I guess that describes.

Fat - I've been fat my whole life, even though I've lost weight, I still feel fat, I still identify with with the fat girl. The reason I try to be so kind an understanding is because I was tormented for my weight. I feel like even if I became really skinny, I would still feel fat. I don't see this trait s a bad thing anymore. If I hadn't been overweight growing up, I probably would have become just like the girls I hate now.

friendly - I can be overly friendly. I think everyone is my friend, or could be my friend, so I try to befriend them.

strange- I have weird hobbies, I wear weird clothes, say and think weird things. Whatever. It makes me interesting.

cute- I love cute things! Hello Kitty, hearts little animals, everything's better if its cute. I'd like to think I'm cute.

bookworm- I read allll the time. I did alot more when I was younger, and I hd time to read.

moody- My mood can change in a split second, and I can get really depressed for no reason at all.

suporting- I like to think I encourge people.

Invitation to Insight


For this exercise I interviewed my baby sister Becca and my boyfriend John. I've known Bec since she was born, so 15 years, and I've known John since the first day of freshman year, so more than two years ago.

They both agreed that I care allot about the other person and what they are saying, and that I'm empathetic and try to understand the other persons point of view. Becca thought I was good at seeing other person's motivations, although John didn't really agree.

Becca thought I wasn't very good at being blunt, mainly because I was afraid to hurt someones feelings. She said sometimes, being overly friendly and sensitive isn't always the best approach. John also agreed with that, he thinks I see the world through rose colored glasses, and think that everyone is nice, even hardened crimminals.

I wasn't really surprised by anything they said, I know that I'm to trusting and that I think everyone's nice, and I do try to avoid hurting peoples feelings.

Truthfully, I don't really think these are bad traits so I'm not so intent on changing them. Perhaps being nice isn't the best way to get what you want, but I'd rather not hurt someones feelings than get my way. I also would rather think everyone is nice than be paranoid that everyone is out to get me.
