Leaving for Phoenix tonite to go the the Bouldering Blast. It's gonna be so much fun. 700 climbers in one spot. Fun ;) I'm gonna be exhausted when I come back, but it is all good. And it will be a nice change from the stress this week. Especially from the ordeal with the doctor. I went to get my immigration medical examination done today. And they tested me for tuberculosis. First time that I have ever been tested, thus little did I know that I have to show up 2 days later to get it checked out. We'll I'm gonna be in Phoenix two days from now. So what I have to do is find a nurse in Phoenix that can check if I have tuberculosis or not. I hope some of the climbers are nurses. Oh and another thing I have to do, just to make my to do list even longer. I have to go get my immunization record translated because it is in German. Blah. Way to much work just to get the Green Card. I honestly should just marry the next American guy that walks my way and make it much easier. Oh well, gotta go eat and then attend 2 meetings and a lecture before I leave to have fun in climbing.

First Epic Climbing Trip
I went to Hueco this Sunday to go climbing. It was fun as always. Hueco Tanks just rocks. I didn't sent anything major but a couple of V0s and V1s. Local Flakes and Nobody gets out of here alive are awesome problems ( and very very frustrating b/c I can't do them......yet). But this is not the epic part. We left Hueco at about 7ish Lubbock time. After about an hour drive, the Surburban decided it didn't need it's serpentine belt anymore and broke it. We came to a stop right about midway between El Paso and Carlsbad which is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Since I forgot to bring my pantyhose on this trip we didn't have anything to replace the belt with so the Volkswagen ended up driving all the way back to El Paso to get the parts. We finally got back on the road at about 11ish, I think and got to Lubbock at about 3:20. I slept most of the time back therefore it didn't really bother me. Things I learned though: Tortillas with crunchy peanut butter and honey are good and you can waste a lot of time throwing rocks at empty glass bottles on fence posts.

Cosmetics and Songwriters
Got this from Kristen's profile. Just go to google, type in your first name and see what it comes up with.
Since I haven't figured out how to pictures in this blog the links will have to do :)
Some Russian website. I have no clue what it says. I don't even think it's Russian looks more like Greek.
www.anika.ru
Cosmetics and Therapeutics......interesting
www.anika-cosmetics.de
www.anikatherapeutics.com
Author Anika Malone. The book seems kinda interesting. Maybe for a short summer read
www.anikamalone.com
New Zealand Singer Anika Moa and American Anika Paris. The songs from Anika Paris are actually quite good

Interesting Nickname
One time in churchcamp my nickname used to be sexgoddess.....
And I'm not kidding. The way this nickname came about is actually pretty simple. At one of the orientations for the camp we played Gummibear Tarot. The rules are simple: You draw five gummibears out of the bag and then look how many of each color you got. I ended up having 3 red, 1 orange and 1 white. You then look up the color combination in the official Gummibear Tarot book and read what it says. In a nutshell mine said that I have crazy sexual fantasies. Having sex with teachers, neighbors, best friends and the like. Thus the name sexgoddess and that one stuck for the entire 2 weeks of camp. We ended up changing it to Goddess of Sex just so that we could say Goddess of S. in front of the little kids. This was church camp afterall. Wow, I can't believe I actually had such a nickname. I guess those were my crazy and wild German Days ;)

Green Card
I talked to my dad yesterday and he had some awesome news for me. He talked to some lawyers in Phoenix ( I have no clue why Phoenix) and they said they are going to speed up our Green Card process. That means that I should be able to work at the latest by next December. And I finally get.......huge drum roll please........my very own and beloved Social Security Number. Yes, I'm so excited. Of course we have to fill out tons of paperwork and take pics and go to the doctor to make sure that we aliens don't have any diseases (like we didn't have time during the last five years to spread Mad Cow Disease). Once all of that stuff is done and I get my working permit etc. they can't kick me out of the country anymore. (Unless we steal Georges cowboy hat.) It then is gonna take about a year or so to finally get the Green Card. So everything is pretty much worked out. But if everything fails there is always plan B.......to find some hot American guy I can marry. :)

Anni the icy marshmallow
I don't have many friends but they are the best friends anyone could wish for. I love y'all guys, you know who you are.
After an interesting conversation with one of my friends today I think I figured out who I am.....
A marshmallow with a coating of freezing cold ice
Ok, I did exaggerate a little bit. Maybe the ice isn't that freezing cold. But I do come off as a rather cold person sometimes especially when I'm around people I do not know very well or guys. The reason for this mainly is that I do not express myself very much. I'm afraid of people knowing what I think and feel (especially when it comes to guys). I haven't figured out exactly why I don't express myself much but one reason may very well be that I was uprooted. I never thought about my move to the United States that way, but it does make perfect sense. Having to start all over in a different country with a different language when you are barely 15 does impact and change a person. I have changed into a person who doesn't openly let other people know what I think or feel. Thus the coating of freezing cold ice. But ice is meltable as my very good friends know and then comes the marshmallow....the marshmallow who just wants to be sitting at the beach by a bonfire cuddled up in a blanket with a cute guy.

This weekend I was out of town.....again :) And it was a lot of fun. We went to Oklahoma to go climb and Audrey finally went with us. I have to say this trip was one of the most interesting ones. When we got to Quartz Mountain we all got separated somehow. Melissa's car got stuck in the mud and her engine drowned, JFunk drove off to go mudding, Ben and Tim drove around looking for us. While Audrey, Nate, Jason and I were waiting on everybody else at the campground.
Ok, I was gonna write a bunch more on what happened this weekend i.e. that the weather was gorgeous, Quartz Mountain is beautiful, climbers are weird but fun folks, slab climbing sucks, people still think that I am a Lesbian, I'm most definitely not as outgoing as I thought I was, and my back always kills me after climbing trips, but now I'm gonna take the survey Audrey has on her profile.

I didn't dream anything last night. I didn't sleep too well, woke up a couple of times. All I remember is falling asleep on a crashpad outside in Oklahoma looking up at the trees and the full moon.

Freezerburn's is growing mold...agghhhh
South Padre was awesome. Everything was just so pretty and beautiful down there. Our hotel was right at the beach and you could hear the ocean from our room. That's always a nice way to fall asleep. The conference was relatively interesting, the food was very delicious ( I love seafood), and building a huge sand Double T at the beach was sweet. But now it's back to reality.
Thermo test on Tuesday....I might wanna start studying for that.
While I was gone, Freezerburn has grown mold. His tumor which used to be blue is now turning white. How in the world can that fish still be alive? If he doesn't die by finals I probably have to declare him a saint or something, because it is freaking impossible to be alive with that huge tumor.
I might have found a place to live next year. One of my SWE buddies Erica told me that Julie is still looking for an extra roommate for her house. It is on 32th and Nashville. I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Hopefully it will all work out. :)
Going climbing again this weekend. Spring Fling in Oklahoma. I'm excited. Haven't been outside to climb for like a month now. Hihi, am I ever gonna be here on a weekend. :)
Nena has to one to most awesome singers ever. "99 Luftballons" is such a cool song.

Just for Today
My high school speech teacher passed this out in his speech class and it has been hanging on my wall ever since. But just now I looked at it and somehow felt like I'm reading it for the first time. It's amazing how used you get to your everyday surroundings and then stop noticing. I really need to be more observant.
Just for today, I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today, I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that "most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my "luck" as it comes, and fit myself to it.
Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't want to do--just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.
Just for today, I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today, I will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today, I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
Just for today

Auras
Today I was told by one of my friends that I am a girl after all. I asked him what he meant and he told me that I changed this semester because last semester I gave off this asexual aura.......what the crap?!?!? Just because I don't' have a boyfriend doesn't mean I don't like guys. I like them very much actually I just never say it out loud when I think a guy is cute or I have crush on someone. Psshhh......asexual aura. I can't believe that. Sorry that I'm not like my hot, flirty roomie who is a guy magnet. I'm just a little more independent and I don't express my thoughts and feelings as much as other people. And btw I do own and wear skirts and high heels.

On loneliness....
"....as I sat down to begin my meeting with the Dalai Lama, I suddenly decided to set aside my list of prepared questions and asked, " Do you ever get lonely?" "No," he said simply. I was unprepared for this response. I assumed that his response would be along the lines of, " Of course...every once in a while everyone feels some loneliness...." Then I was planning on asking him how he deals with loneliness. I never expected for confront anyone who never felt lonely."
How wonderful it would be to never feel lonely....
What is the most miraculous
of all miracles?
That I sit quietly by myself.

Kilimanjaro

Random stories and thoughts...
I had a fun day at the beach today with Danny, JD and a bunch of other hot guys and cute girls. ;) We played frisbee and even built a sandcastle. The beach is always fun, thus that's where you are gonna find me all summer long. Anyway, after we had fun at the beach we went and got some good seafood. Man, I do miss the beach, the gulf and the entire Houston area a lot. But the plains are fun too, especially when we have sandstorms. ;)
Tomorrow my mom and I are gonna go the Chocolate Exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I really hope they have lots of samples of chocolate. :) Going to the museum with my mom is always fun. I love doing stuff like this. And my mom is the cutest.
Melissa emailed me today to tell me that Freezerburn is still doing great and that she is going climbing this weekend. :( I really gotta work on the teleportation thing in my physics lab so that I can beam myself up to LCC to go climb. It's been barely a week and I'm already deprived. I swear I'm addicted to climbing. This is gonna be horrible during the summer when I'm gonna be stuck down here in flat Lake Jackson. I guess that means a lot of climbing trips. :)
I realized again today that I think too much. If I had to live on an island by myself for a while, I would go nuts pretty quickly cause I would just think too much. I guess thinking is a good thing, but not when you don't really know how to express it. I always want to let everyone know what I 'm thinking but I never seem to be able to talk about it or write about it. And whenever I do it just doesn't come across as clearly as it is in my head. It would be kinda cool if people could just read my mind for like 10 minutes so that they can actually see what's going on in my head. Maybe people would understand me better....
I lost my snowflake-necklace at the beach today... :( I'm really upset about it. Especially since I forgot it at the gym just two days ago and I just picked it up this morning before going to the beach and then I lost it again. I kinda wish I could have lost it doing something epic like getting the necklace caught on some rock while doing a sweet climb or losing it because of an awesome bust while snowboarding, but no..... I have to loose it at the beach. How ironic..... a snowflake on a beach.
Just some other random thoughts...
Houston is big, strawberries are good, I hate my accent and I need a boyfriend.

Aggghhh....
After I got back from eating kolaches with my mom, yum....I realized how much freaking stuff I have to do after spring break and almost got a panic attack. But it is still sprink break and thus I will enjoy it as much as possible. I already had tons of fun with playing vball, going to Astroworld, going to the beach etc. Although it would be even more fun if I could be climbing. I briefly though about buildering up our house, but I quickly discarded that idea because I love my life way to much. Anyway, I think I'm gonna go do some hw so I don't get to stressed out when I come back.

Random Thoughts while Flying
As I was at the airport waiting to get on my flight to go to Houston I did what I normally do at airports. Observe people...It's one of the funniest things to do and the airport is the perfect place to do so. Even though Houston Intercontinental, Amsterdam and Hamburg are more interesting airports, Lubbock International does just as well. People are just so interesting to observe. There was this one lady wearing high heeled sandals and purple socks. Yes I don't know much about fashion either but that is just wrong. I also know that huuuuge flowery, butterfly looking glittery belt buckles are not the latest fashion either. Geez that girl could have knocked someone out with that belt buckle, but she most definitely needed that belt cause her pants were ultra, ultra, ultra, megalow. And then there was this girl in front of me that just couldn't that complaining. I haven't seen such a whiny girl in a long time. I swear she acted like she was in kindergarten. She was all quiet at first and then her boyfriend or friend walked up to her and there she went in this whiny voice: "I'm gonna have the crappiest seat on the airplane. Look, there is only 5 people behind me." "I'm hungry." Friend:"Do you want me to get you some food?" "No, I don't want any of this food, I want a salad." "Why aren't Chris and Brian here yet.?I don't like waiting." This went on for quite a while with her clinging to her friend and just whining. Like he could do anything about it. Oh boy, why can't people just stop complaining. Life is hard and then you die, so just deal with it. So after I had gotten on the airplane and was seated between two nice middle aged ladies who were looking at beauty magazines. (Just a little tip, don't look at beauty magazines they will only make you feel fat and ugly) I realized that my new goal is to develop an airplane with huge windows. Cause the current ones are way to small. Whenever you sit in the middle seat you just can't see a thing. Since I just love staring out the window while flying and I could do so for hours and hours, I decided airplanes need to have bigger windows. I know that this might not be technically possible or not economical, but big windows would just be so awesome. Another interesting thing I found out while flying is that DFW has way to many baseballfields. Because I flew at night one just couldn't help but notice the brightly illuminated pieshapes called baseballfields. Baseball is a boring sport by the way. Last but not least I think it is amazing how much trust we put in our technology. This was just a rather random thought, but there you are sitting in this airplane and only 2 sheets of Plexiglas separate you from the outside. The outside that is freezing cold and I don't know how many feet above the ground. You can actually feel the cold when you put your head against the window, which should be bigger btw. Lol, my lil bro just walked in and he just cracks me up. His hair is almost longer than mine now and it just looks like crap. But he is a guy so obviously he doesn't care. He did care though when I beat him in armwrestling. I'm kinda pathetic for arm wrestling my lil 13 year old bro. Anyway, me and my sis are gonna play some vball.

Spring Break....yea
Today at 6:05 pm I'm gonna be on a plane to Houston. I'm so excited to see my family again and do absolutly nothing. Just chilling at the beach, getting burned and reading a good book. And of course catching up on sleep cause I actually managed to sleep through my 8 o'clock thermo today. :) I was totally out of it when I woke up at 9:16. I hate that feeling when you wake up and you know you overslept. Oh well, I gotta do some more research for I lab cause I still don't have a clue what we are actually doing. :)
