Afghan Wedding Cards Fremont

Audition

In my old-WG was again the time has come for a roommate change. Arnold had left the last member of the old guard the WG. He had the woman with whom he was separated for 7 years together and with "Irish Goddess" (his own words) inserted and was not well of us mere mortals to be disturbed.

had also taken it a trucker bar at the gates of Constance and wanted to move closer to his new workplace.

So we expected once again, the usual procedure: paper hanging at the university, a note to the board at the student rental offers hang, make an entry in vierwaen.de and then regularly monitor the AB and his e-mails and make appointments, where possible, all residents are in the house.

The roommate search was really hard work!

The tenant search but could certainly have its funny side. Who ever the film "Shallow Grave" ("Shallow Grave") seen can get an idea of what you could do with a roommate services can do.

Normally we made roommate always a night where we invited 6 to 10 potential tenants to "audition". Before the cemetery of the Gruscheltiere (= StudiVZ) had remained choice but, when all interested parties to get into the house and to examine themselves. Nowadays you can also weed out candidates based on their first StudiVZ profiles and only invite the rest, but a few years ago that was different. Anyone got

usually half an hour - or, depending on the first or second impression sometimes less - and my roommate and I got a glass of wine per visitor. This ensured that the evening was not entirely in vain, and the later applicants had greater chances to be taken as the early - which is not necessarily always a benefit.

on Sometimes crossed in such events really strange types. In particular, if we had given to the tender age of the other housemates. Once one of the ages went on the 30 or already over the magic 30, changed the audience into the accommodation suddenly.

addition to a few desperate Erstis who fell out with other residents of their current rent or in the clearing process for a few weeks too late to university and have been sleeping in the hostel, then dive often students from more advanced students or even professionals to .

once sat with us in our late twenties man named Sebastian in the kitchen. He was a running cliché: dreadlocks, goatee, glasses, worn Soul Asylum T-Shirt, Very used torn jeans and tennis shoes and of course people in the Constance youth house. He had already seen the room and had just put on the couch in the hallway to get to talk to us. As soon as he sat on the couch, he pulled tobacco and papers from his pocket and began to roll a cigarette: "When you smoke you should not it?"

Meeeep! Next!


The same day, presented the 19 year old Anna. She had come a few days ago to Constance because she wanted to apply next semester at the University of Applied Sciences for Architecture: "Say, can come visit me at the weekend my friend, if I stay with you? My mother wanted still not that Nick stayed with me, so I am now moved out, even if I want to apply for a job until next semester for the FH. "

Well, maybe a little too adolescent. Next!


Nadja Then came to us. She had a rat sitting on his shoulder and studied sociology course, politics and art and media studies. "Are you at liberty animals in the apartment?"

Thanks, but we have mice under the floorboards and the walls. Even more rodents then we need not.


Frank, who recently divorced husband of my ex-roommate, Petra was encountered before us, but my roommates did not like it. Somehow I was not going on the impression that only Wigald and Isabel did not want someone moved into the apartment, with whom I got along well and would strengthen my position ... The two and I had quite a few different views of what led here and there, sometimes too small friction - and be voted for in the roommate search.

Meep! The fifth visitor that night was called Ingo. He already had a degree in electrical engineering and then studied economics in the two studies. "I have no desire to go study's work and prefer something else. Student life like it so much, "said the 33 year old.

"How does it look at you with the rent?" Was my immediate response.

"What is the room for?"

"256 € per month plus additional costs"

"Lets turn on the price of what?"

MEEEP! Next.


And so the evening went merrily. Around 22:30 clock we had seen a good 9 cantor and it was actually also what the process of which we found very funny. In fact, we had at the end of the evening is the problem that we had to decide between two promising candidates and the election decided by a coin toss.

"It was actually quite funny. We should make more time! "Said Wigald, who had by this time three or four glasses of Merlot intus.

"What? Crouching in the hall and two empty bottles of wine or room for rent? "

" room for rent. Or at least to do as ob, "he said. "And you get to know fun people. This is fun. "

" Well, but we only have once every few months to rent a room. "

" We have not really rent a room. Yes we can only do so as ob "Wigald said with the wine clouded voice. "You know, just do such as if we rent a room would hang flyers, inviting people to have a fun evening. That would be funny. "

" Is that the opposite Studis not a little unfair? Who come here, spend their time here, hope that they are taken and then everything is just for show. "

" Does not matter. We say the easy off and they will never know that all this was not serious. That would actually be funny. "Concluded the arguments from his drunken Wigald.

"The idea is just a snap, like when you invite the Vorwerk representatives wanted to give us at the screening of his vacuum cleaner is cleaning the apartment."

"Do not the same as always so negative. "argued Wigald.

"also does not matter. I'm tired, and had one or two glasses of wine too much. I go to bed. Good night. "

Football Helmet Cakes

long-haired bomber

Today I could not afford it anymore, but when I was a student, I had most of the time long hair, which hung in a pony tail halfway down my back.

Even though I now wonder how I could so long have such a hairstyle, then gave me the enjoyed it and because of this hair style I have seen one or the other entertaining situations, want to tell that I here a few:
For many

Short hair carrier is a man with long hair on principle and is suspicious of the "shorn" treated differently, dare I say, discriminated against ...

So I could not drive, for example, once on the Swiss border, without that I have been stopped by a border guard and asked for the possession of goods. After I had my hair cut, I was much more "scot-free" across the border.


Or when I was at my year abroad in the USA once stood in a supermarket at the checkout, I pulled a boy's sleeve and asked me with wide eyes: "Are you a wrestler" ("Are you a wrestler?") .

Obviously he knew men with long hair only on the wrestling shows on TV.

I bent down to him and said, "You got me! I'm the Grim German and I'm mad as hell "(" You have known me correctly, I am the grim German and I'm totally crazy! ")

Then the boy turned around quickly and ran away quickly and called out "Mum!" ("Mom!").


The parents of my first friend I met at a birthday celebration to know in her apartment. I had come by train, and her father got a few other guests and myself with the car at the station, since the home well 16 km from the train station was.

rose from where I arrived and went to the trunk to get my things out of the trunk. At that moment her mother out of the house, and when she saw me, and my hair from behind, she shouted excitedly

! "A woman, a woman, you brought a wife"

Her father was have said that only men would come and now she was surprised that a person with long hair had grown out of the car. But as I turned the mother was visibly relieved. "Oh, it's just a long-haired man"

Shaking his head, I sat on my backpack, I put the sleeping bag under his arm and ran with the other guests into the house. What the mother had probably against women in their house?

After the weekend with my girlfriend I had become smarter: The mother was just such a bad house wife that she wanted no other women in their homes for fear they could see how bad they led their household. Young men placed them seem less attention for their lack of home ...


long hair but also connect to each other - in other long-haired men have been equal to a sense of connectedness. You probably have similar settings, they know the struggle every morning with the brush and they know probably all the spells, the likes of us have to endure the short-haired - that connects!

So I sat for example, views with Manuela in the cinema in the film "Erin Brockovich." appeared as the boyfriend of Erin Brockovich for the first time on the canvas and went the camera about his long mane, I meant to Manuela jokingly: "iiih, a bomber"

turned Because of me a long-haired head around and agreed to a deep said, "Hey, do me a break!"

The answer, I reached into my hair waved with my ponytail and said, ". I can make jokes about"

"Hey, everything cool," It came back and my own race turned back to the front.


I had already started during school time to let my hair grow, but by the beginning of my studies, I wore her hair still open. Things will be my community service at the gate in the hospital.

In this position I was responsible, among other things, to show visitors the way to the stations.

Once an older, slightly frail lady came to me running to the gate. She leaned panting on the shelf in front of the cottage doors, leaned in to me in the window and said: "Young lady, can you please tell me in which Mrs. Mayer is the room? "

How Do You Change Lights On Buick Enclave

Johns tooth fairy is not free

My American roommate Jack was with his 19 years still remained very young, not only his behavior did not correspond to his age, and externally it would hardly be estimated at nearly a 20th He had a very youthful face, a few pimples on the face and even had some baby teeth in the mouth!

Normally a person loses his milk teeth and 13 Age, but John had 6 years later still have three pieces of it in the mouth that simply did not want to fail on its own. Without professional help, he would probably still at his university degree in a few years have a very uneven grin.

"My mother told me to let me pull the teeth in Germany because the dentists are much cheaper here than in the U.S.," John told me when he told me about his dental problems. "Do you know a good dentist?"

I suspected that dental treatment would be carried by its foreign insurance company. In the U.S., many people pay their medical treatments out of pocket because there is no health insurance and dental treatments are often very expensive. John's argument sounded quite so conclusive.

The dentist, whom I had recommended him was him too far outside of Constance, and so he went to the nearest Practice from our apartment and let himself pull the teeth and align ever so many other things on the teeth. Then he ran with two large teeth gaps around the mouth and looked again a few years younger. The rest of us flat-dwellers had to make almost that we were on the road it was not his legal guardian.

few weeks later John moved from our apartment, to go back in the U.S. to complete his studies. My roommate and I thought we had seen the last of John and heard - as is equally, if a roommate moves out.

But we got wrong. Approximately 4 weeks after John had moved out, was a letter from his dental practice in our mailbox. I informed John by e-mail about the letter and asked him what I should do with it.

"This is only any advertising. You can throw away the letter like ". "John said.

"Doctors in Germany but may not send any advertising," I wrote back. But John insisted that I should dispose of the letter.

I put the letter but in a bin in my room - I had been so since a suspicion, which could stand in it.

came after about two weeks, a further letter from the dentist and this time John answered me by e-mail that I could throw away the letter. He had arranged everything with the dentist and could not imagine what would have of him.

then appeared once more on any letters. I had almost forgotten about the thing as a good 8 weeks later there was a letter from the district court of Konstanz for John in the mailbox.

This time I did not let me get rid of John and wrote him that he should kindly clarify, because I do not feel like that would be at some point a bailiff at the door.

John said that I should send all the letters to the parents of his girlfriend to Ravensburg and will look at it. Then came no more letters to more. Perhaps the Germans were Dentists but not as favorable as John had the thought - especially if you had not entered into any international health insurance ...

but still I wondered what John had screwed up again as well and whether we would soon be received from other doctors and shops warning letter for John.

Can Camera Flashes Damage Your Eyes

Underneath Your Clothes

to live in the inner city has many advantages and some disadvantages. One of the great advantages of course is that you quickly to all major shops and places can walk and has no long travel time or annoying parking. If you forget, for example, once to buy a lemon, then one runs just quickly to the next Supermarket and buys a.
The cinema can be easily run on foot - and of course, always comes too late for meetings with friends, as they have longer travel paths and have therefore made earlier on the way to arrive on time.

One of the disadvantages that one Saturday sleep virtually impossible, as loudly in the pedestrian zone in front of the window is already at 9 clock buyers to do business and at the latest by 10 clock of the first accordion player in front of the house with its endless loop of "La Toccata "(in the high-speed version) begins.

you go before his own door - if that possible Is because often kebab eater buyer (by 10 clock early!) Sit on the stage, and these give only smacking protest free again, as if they had reserved this place the night before by phone - it is now in the shopping fray, without even stand a chance to have this work around this.

But it's not just with buyers in the city up close, but also with its neighbors, as the houses in town are all very close to each other and one can easily see into the homes of others, and gets even looked into the apartment .

Sometimes this can be quite funny, as in the case of the women's gym on one side of the house my Downtown WG, sometimes, it can also be rather stressful, such as in the case of a fun evening of my neighbors a few years ago in the summer.

Our neighbors celebrated in the middle of the week a party. A birthday or something like that. In contrast really is nothing wrong, especially not of us students, because we, as in our flat already celebrated one or the other party and had not just turned off by 22 clock music.

was interesting but not the party itself, but what happened in the bedroom to the street. Its window was open and I could hear from my room almost every word that was spoken on the street. Obviously a male guest tried to land at the hostess.

He raved about himself and his work and all the things that he does and wants to do. He even tried to be attentive to things that are said female counterpart, even if he did not often talk long, because usually I only heard him speak ... Shakira and sing!

one had by the two namely, the Maxi-CD of "Underneath Your Clothes" launched by Shakira and "Repeat" is set, echoed this song in a loop from the CD player and because of the small distance to the house next door in my ears penetrated, as I opened the window to the summer heat to sell something.

That was a bit annoying because now I'm a huge Shakira fan not straight, but I built that would merge the two quickly become comfortable part of this experimental approach, and then replace the music through a more private setting would sound.

When my girlfriend Manuela and I went to bed around midnight, ran next door and there was still Shakira chat him forever. I stared in bed for a while at the ceiling and thought, "Well, let him stop at last ran so once peace prevails."

Then I fell asleep despite, or perhaps because of a Shakira.

three former clock I woke up again. Shakira still explored the clothes of their counterpart, the talkers in the neighboring apartment was still in the foreplay. So slowly it went to the Spirit!

I looked over to my friend, she stared holes in the darkness.

"So, so slow I can not hear the song more real. I hope the time will come soon to the point. "

" This is nothing more tonight, if she let him range does not work, then they will not do it the rest of the night, "she said.

"And what do we do now? We both have to work tomorrow morning and I do not feel like that again Shakira sings me to sleep. "

"What do you do? When ringing them? You do not even have that bell that is! "

" We could contain something to throw through the window, a wet roll of toilet paper or something. "

" You hit the window on the distance? "

That was a good point. So I did the only thing I had left. I went to the window and shouted across the street, "finally pops up or makes the music, but once you decide!"

was soon closed the window and Shakira fell silent. The rest of the night I slept peacefully as a baby.
