kaiserkuchenHave somehow managed not to get around to posting anything of substance these past few days, and that can actually be explained by RL or at least certain people in RL being exceedingly irritating, and thus my sparkling internet time being used to escape in the glorious world of Winchesters in SPN fic.
Most of the time, I am totally okay with a large part of my group here being guys- we have fun, all is awesome BUT JEEBUS CHRIST sometimes one really feels like flailing ones arms about in raaaage because they can all be such amazingly frustrating, stubborn and idiotic BOYS. I AM SO DAMN GRATEFUL FOR CARMEN, and we have actually spent the week mostly bitching about the guys anyways:
Bitching point the First: So Harry and Georg are part of the 'let's invade BKK in Feb08' crew, right? All is hunky-dory so far, they are totally groovy guys and I was already looking forward to spending time with them and Carmen next year. But then when we met at Georg's place to discuss the nitty-gritty details of which hotels they will be staying at and other such travel itinerary details the ugly beast of ARRRGH rears its head. Georg turns out to be this hardcore backpacker who is really not backing down on his desire to sleep in the most rancid of hostels and is prone to tangents of fantasy regarding what he wants to do the whole time(which is normally great and fun BUT not when we are seriously discussing BUDGETING) and Harry turns out to be this penny-pinching miser, who in his own marginally more pleasant way is just as stubborn as Georg when it comes to what he wants (=to see the sea/Ko Chang ...like that is SO CHEAP and it wasn't even in the plan at first. The plan was BKK and C'MAI, thank you very much). AND to cut what can potential paragraphs of ranting from me short, it is just very off-putting. Ahh man, and to think it was only supposed to be Carmen and I from the very beginning. I mean, I assume and am fervently hoping that this is just the bitchy pre-planning phase that comes with every holiday and that all will be well in the end. Also I am im nach hinein SO damn happy that I will be sleeping at Dad's place the time we will be in BKK. DISTANCE yesss.
Bitching point the Second: MICHI. Oh, Michi. Great guy, really sticks up for his friends and is fun to be around even in his inadvertently snobbish ways. Our little prissy princess/Prinzessin auf der Erbse, as Carmen loves to say. But dude just loves to have 'discussions', or as normal people would call them- ARGUMENTS. And hey, nothing wrong with a little bit of friendly smacktalk, but it's one thing to discuss the airbourne-disease carrying merits of Vienna's pigeons but another to how the Bundeswehr/army in Germany is populated by a bunch of right-wing nazi bastards. Especially when all of us know that Carmen's dad is in the army and that she is proud of what he does AND even moreso when Michi himself, eventhough he is German, has never done his military time nor personally know anyone involved therein. He knows people in fucking Belgium, wooo. :/ And so on and so forth the 'debate' went OH and did I mention that we were actually having pre-party drinks in my room? Way to pick a great time there for such a talk! So eventually I couldn't take it anymore and kind of started into this really inarticulate rant that delved into more english than german and featured stunning gems of eloquence such as "Dude, just shut the fuck uuuuup. This is a total fucking mood-kill" and why the hell Michi couldn't just let it go, there are simply certain topics that you do NOT 'discuss'/try to convert people to, because there are things that factor in like yanno, PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT. You just don't. And of course he completely failed to get my point and was all scoffy and pissed off and beleidigt. Oh man, if we hadn't already paid money for those party tickets I think we would have all just headed to bed, the mood was that shot to shit.
Party turned out to be okay. Not good but okay and since that friday night I have yet to actually speak to Michi ahahaha oh man. AH well, shall give him a few more days to stew.
AHH I feel so much better now :D
