So apparently I need to learn how to keep my mouth shut. I was walking with Ashley and Vikki this afternoon when this loud siren went off. It reminded me of an air raid siren, so I instictively shouted "the Germans are coming! The Germans are coming!" I then laughed and said "it's probably not a good idea to yell that in a city that was occupied ( Read more... )

And I also found a round trip ticket to Sweden for about 45 dollars. I figured I would leave on a Thursday afternoon, hang out with her Thursday night ( Read more... )
