I LOVE updating late!!!

Hello, and welcome to "Stop the World"!! We will be dropping the "this Week in History" section untill may (mostly because that was the ONLY feedback i got... ahem... but since only Heather reads this now ans allison spraticly, it doen't really matter lol) Still accepting sujestions for the new section to start in may. I got some good ones last time, and am hopping for some more! I know i haven't updated this in FOREVER, but i have been swamped at school, but now i have a few minutes... I had planned on updating the week after valentines day, so the theme reflects that... since i dont have time to make a new theme... so just go with it... lol

Theme of the Week: Love

News of the Week:

Ok, so News... Well our theme this week is love, unfortunately it is NOT affecting me in any way, but since V-Day just passed, i figured it would be a good topic, and an easy one as well. So i am as you all know, in school and i am a little overwhelmed with all the reading and papers, but i guess it is time i faced the music, so to speak... mostly school consumes my life, and the weeks seem so short and it is only a matter of time before it is friday and i have to go to work, which i HATE with a firey passion of a thousand burning suns, (except Sundays now that Alex is back lol) and they are not giving out any more hours, which leaves me screwed, since i am relying on this money for the road trip. i am hopping Tony is saving like a maniac, so that he will have extra... but now he might not want to go... i think it is cos it is so far away and he can't envission it yet... as of press time there is 475 days til we leave... works out to be about 15 1/2 months... I think Alex's mom is helping her pay for her part, but i am hopping my tips will provide enough help. (either way i will have enough to go to MO at least lol) I will prob have to get a second job in the summer however, if they keep this up. just FYE (for your eddification) as i am sure Allison is DYING to know, there aren't many cute guys in my classes... there is really only one (alex is his name) and I kinda talk to him, but i talk to his friend more... (not as cute but seems like a, as tony would say, hoot) and there is a guy who is ok looking in the same class who is a Liverpool fan, but i haven't really talked to him except a minute about Liverpool and how he likes my Liverpool shirt... but he wasn't there last class, though... i can't really remember what he looks like, since we talked when he was in his car, in the garage, at night, so it was dim... he may be a real dog for all i know! lol anyway i will keep you updated, but i am not really expecting to hook up with anyone right now... i am just to busy for a relationship... tho it would be nice to bring someone to Thanksgiving one year... but i don't want to scare someone by having them come there! lol so lets get on with it!!!

Song of the Week:

this week's song is "Aurelie" (OOR-ah-LEE) by German band Wir Sind Helden (we are heroes). This song is about a French girl (named Aurelie) who comes to Germany and is upset because it seems like the boys in Germany don't like her as much as the french ones do because they are so introverted, and the French ones always whistle at her, and the German ones dont. The chorus translates to "Aurelie, it never works out that way. You are expecting way to much, the Germans flirt very subtly." (it is repeated twice). I just love this song! here is the video, which i also love lol. (if you want the full translation, let me know and i will post it, but not if you dont want it.)

Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock.
