psst...hey you...yeah you! you wanna hear something funny?

guess what i just did, i just tried to kill my self! not really, but listen to this story. i was upstairs on the computer minding my own business (sarah had just told me there's a new relient k video and so i was happy) when apperently my brother bit my mom, screaming from both of them ensued. now poor me sitting up on the computer hear this horrible, demons rising from the underworld type of noise and think something horrible must have happened (someone got hurt bad enough to go to the hospital type of thing). so using my killer reflexes i jump down the stairs, and attempt to do a matrix-style jump by flinging myself of the little junky handrail thing, which promptly breaks of in my hand. now i had done this before and it had had never broke, and i was kinda rushing to see what the screaming was, so i was not expecting it to break. so as the rail broke of in hand i instantly let go of it (those awesome reflexes of mine) and went sail to the floor, not in a graceful mtrix style, but in a oh-my-god-that really-hurts-style. so i smacked down against the nice hard wood floor knees first, now of course my knees are not strong enough to take that kind of abuse and instantly buckled beneath me. now since i still had a large amount of momentum pushing me i went over onto my side and quickly smashed my left arm into my ribs. thankfully my stupidity-style flight was over and i now had time to inspect the damage to the wall, the rail, and of course me. the wall had only suffered the slightest amount of damage from having a rail forcefully ripped out of it, the rail of course was hanging limply but i had a feeling the could be fixed. then i slowly sat up and inspected my ribs, i could swear i broke one, it still hurts now but but nothing felt broken. i then reached down to my knees, i was dead sure i had busted the crap out of my knee caps, but as i felt it and looked at i noticed that all i had gotten was a nice bloody scrape on one knee and a srape on the other knee, but not bloody at least. so now i'm gonna go to bed, i have nice sore legs to keep me up all night and make lying down uncomfortable (man, i love to complain). well anyway, Cya! and by the way, i'm not gonna be doing anymore matrix-style stunts anymore, i've given that up. unless of course i need to dodge the raging fists of teenage girls...

i just feel like writing, nothing really to say though.

i'm babysitting right now and elizabeth is happily haveing her brains sucked out by the upstairs computer while peter is being zombified by his favorite videos. now i have to stay where i can keep an eye on them so that gives me only one option, i have to use the computer! so sad...it's either computer or slow insanity by boredom. so i'm going to blog and say stuff. the first big huge important thing i really need to say is this. september 15th was anneli and evelin's birthday, they turned 17. and guess what? i didn't send them a e-card, or a email, and i didn't even call them! it's not that i forgot it was thier birthday, i would never do that. no, it's that i didn't say happy birthday! so now i'm saying happy belated birthday, and i am begging for forgiveness. FORGIVE ME!!! I AM SLIME!!! I AM WORTHLESS!!! FORGIVE ME!!! yeah, so if you guys could like forgive me then i would be happy, oh wait. i forgot again, you already did. i spent tuesday night chilling with anneli and evlin which was wonderful. i brought my laptop and they (tried to) helped me with my russian. i have this rosseta stone russian language course that is IMPOSSIBLE. but still wicked cool. i have have this sweet headset so i can talk to it in russian. but i'm usually angry when i speak to my computer so i use my, uh, not so nice russian vocabulary. thats one of the interesting things about living in estonia is most people curse in russian but speak in estonian, so i know the russian curse words. none of which i will teach to you. and even if i did teach you i wouldn't give you a translation, i don't use those words on my blog, in any language. so what was i talking about? i got a little side tracked...oh ya, anneli and evelin tried to speak russian to my computer and it said i had a better accent they did. it said i spoke more like a native. but, thier the natives, not me. so hows that work? ever since i haven't really trusted my computer. i definitely don't speak russian better than anneli and evelin! anneli is part of the russian mafia (inside joke)!

so, what else to talk about? so this weekend i am taking a mission team trip to tallinn (not much of a trip, only 2 and half hours!) and can't wait to see all my friends again. at the moment i have no idea when i go, what i'm doing, where i'm sleeping, and so on. i'll just play it all by ear, i do that a lot. plus, i'll trust the wittenbergs to take care of me, they usually do. ;-) so i have a lot of exciting stuff coming up, and did i ever mention i'm taking estonian class's now? so now i'm (trying to be) learning 2 languages at the same time! without forgetting english! it's not easy! i have homework i have to do before i go to class at 3 today and then i have class tommorow that i might have to miss for mission team, which is fine with me becuase mission team takes top priority, especially over sitting in class having confusing language concepts smashed into my head (come on people, whats the difference between räägid and räägin? come one, it's kinda the same, and when i say it fast no one can tell...). well anyway, i think i need to go throw peter out the window or give him a hug or something becuase i'm done blogging and have nothing else to do, Cya!

home alone, again!!!

my dad is out of the house picking up my mom in lõksa and so i'm home alone just chilling out, church doesn't start until 4 so i'm cool, i'm watching music videos again. one of the reasons why i'm watching so many music videos is that all my good music got stolen, and even though most of that music was saved on my computer i feel i owe myself a musical treat, so watching music videos is perfect. one interesting thing i wanted to write about is what i did last night. last night i set up my aunt's georgous blue toshiba sattelite laptop (which she was kind enough to let me borrow and i'm using now) with a webcam and my spiffy (spiffy? huh?) new mic headset and had a video conversation conversation with miika, my friend in finland. and so now that i have tested that out i love it, and i wanna do that all the time. so if any one out there has a webcam and a mic and some free time i want to talk to you. while watching my wonderful face you can hear my sweet sultry voice flow into your ears...not really, i always look bad on webcam, and the mic makes my voice sound wicked deep. but whatever. one thing i'm very happy about is that since i was alone and had extra time i dug up some old emails and finnally got in contact with my latvian friends from prague, so i'm hoping they will be online tonight. well anyway, i don't have much to write about so i'm gonna go delete some old emails, something i've been meaning to do for months, Cya.

home alone...oh, yeah!

my parents are going to lõksa and my dad wont be until around 12 tonight so that means iäm home alone! so basically i'm spending this time to be 7h3 1337 1OrD oF d2rkN3zZ (don't understand? learn 1337speak). i've also been watching wicked cool music videos, i've been watching linkin park, POD, green day, etc. etc. and i noticed something while watching linkin park, thier all a bunch of stinking nerds! OH YEAH! ever wonder why i like them so much? i mean how else to you explain the video where they are singing and jumping around on something that looks like its out of the game azurik(xbox)? and to add to that as they sing you see a giant metallic whale flying (yes flying) all over! creepy! then theres the one where theres all these ninja dudes flying around with numchucks! can someone tell me whats with this? oh and the great one where like 50 monks in white hooded robes start banging thier heads to the music, yeah, it's that cool. oh and the "numb" music video has my dream girlfriend in it, everyone hates her, she sits in class drawing anime, shes the royal loser...i need to find out who makes up these videos becuase this must be one real creative nerd. so anyway if you have extra time i'd suggest watching music videos to burn free time, its fun. and oh wait, i'm gonna talk about the green day videos too, those things where so cool! and those guys obviously just don't like america, the name of thier last cd was "american idiot" and in 2 of thier music videos they make fun of america. this is a very british band, and i like them becuase despite the fact they mock america i've never been a big patriot, in fact i prefer estonia to america (most of the time). and i mock america nad all its inhabitants all the time. so theres 2 cool bands whos videos i won't turn off. now it's getting late and i need to get off the computer, Cya!

and now i will talk about one of the most interesting, and confusing subjects i can think of, girls!!

I haven’t blogged in a while so right now I think I will, I mean I’m only supposed to be doing schoolwork right now. And anyway I was just inspired by something, so when I’m divinely inspired I am allowed to take a break from school work, right? Well ok, it wasn’t exactly divine inspiration. but as I was looking through “Refuel” (my super kewl complete new testament, “the bible that looks like a magazine”. That thing is so kewl. (please note, I was supposed to be doing schoolwork, but looking at the bible lets you skip schoolwork, right?)) I noticed one of the little extra things they have. This thing has cool extras, on the cover it says “EXTRAS:GIRLS, CASH AND CARS”, by the way, it’s a guy bible/magazine. So any I looked at one of the extras and I read “10 random ways to impress a girl”. Now impressing girls is not exactly one of my skills, so I decided to read, and what I read interested me. So I will now list the ten things and comment on them.

1. show respect
well of course, if you don’t show a girl respect you get hurt, bad. I found that out the hard way…

2. get to know her friends
well I already do that, all the girls I know I know because I know all their friends.

3. worship god freely
I’ve never really thought of this as a way to impress girls…hmmm……

4. open doors for her
this is common good manners, always open a door for a girl, always.

5. spend time with her parents
urgh? You really want me to do that to impress a girl? Well I spend time with the Wittenbergs, but any other girls parents is kinda hard…oh well, what ever.

6. find out her interests
most girls I know have interests that are polar opposites of mine, except for music, I’m always cool with music.

7. pray for her
I’m on it.

8. be confident instead of arrogant
this is another basic must, do this to impress anyone, not just girls.

9. think before you talk
maybe I should do this more…

10. put her first
ladies first, my golden rule.


So what did you think? I think this is good advice I’m gonna put into practice. Now here’s one more thing I found, as I browsed more I came across something wonderful “10 random ways to scare off a girl who likes you”. Believe it or not I can use this one, because even I have those who I wish to scare off. Now I will comment on these

1. don’t spend one-on-one time with her
that’s the plan…

2. treat her the same way you treat any other girl
all girls I treat the same, except that one…and then there’s that other one…oops…

3. tell her how you honestly feel
sounds good to me.

4. talk to yourself
oh, wait. That scares people? I do that all the time, if it scares people maybe I should stop

5. don’t call her
I don’t call, I SMS (text message).

6. stay out of corners
I am terrified of corners, the presence of a girl just makes them worse. I will stay out of corners.

7. show up at school in a monks robe
if I actually went to school this would be great, but no matter where I go, no matter what I do to be freaky people just so “well that’s just Chris I guess…”

8. get too serious too fast
I can see this one backfiring, I’ll skip it.

9. see if you can set her up with a guy who’s a better fit
since when am I a matchmaker? I think I’ll buy her a copy of “ I kissed dating goodbye” instead.

10. dye your hair mauve
I was thinking dark white or bright black, or something like that…

Whew, sounds fun, can’t wait to get out there and try it! Now I’m tired and actually do need to get some schoolwork done today so, Cya. Oh, by the way, guess what else is in this book, tips on how to look good, and believe it or not they told me to kill my unibrow! I mean Meaghan and Sarah have told me this for months but I never believed them! My unibrow is the essence of what makes me evile (that’s not a typo, read it as spelled)!!! It’s likes Sampson’s hair! I can’t kill it, but what ever, tsau.

time is money! and money is something i don't have so that means...i'm thinking to hard...

Hey I don’t have much time to blog now so I’m gonna be quick. Just so you know I will probably, eventually finish writing about Prague, but right now, I can’t. And I will finish writing about last week, when we had our first official meeting, but right now, time is lacking. So I only have a few things I will say. Right now I just got back from dropping Evelin off at the bus station, and I was just thinking, there’s some “thank you’s” I need to say. Because there are some things that people have done lately that were only little things to them, but they have no idea how much they meant to me. So now, I will start with thank you things. First of all, Sarah. Thank you so much for the CD, I’m listening to it right now! ;) You have no idea how great is to be able to have these songs available to me whenever I want, it’s like having a little chunk of America with me, thanks. And next, Evelin. Today when I dropped you off at the bus station you said you don’t normally give guys hugs, but for me you said you’d make an exception for me. ;) Thanks for that, that gave me just a bit of a huge self esteem boost, it’s so great to know I have such great friends, thanks. And last but not least, Anneli. I put you last because I have the most to write for you. Thank you for giving me a “extreme make over:Chris edition”, for one day I thought I really, seriously looked good, and so did everyone else apparently. That rarely happens, thanks for that. And thank you for inviting me to do some writing for the site your making, I guess someone likes my writing (by the way everyone, I’ve started a book. But I doubt any of you will ever read it), thanks. And last I want to thank you for letting me read your diary. When I read that part that went something like “…I hate it when *people* (can’t say who) talks bad about Chris and says he’s stupid. If they think he’s stupid why do they hang out with him? I don’t think he’s stupid…”. When I read that it made me seriously happy, thanks freaky friend.
Thanks to all of you guys (or girls, who cares), I couldn’t imagine better friends. Now I think I gotta go, tsau (Estonian slang, tsau=bye)!

and more and more to blog about

where did i leave off? oh yes, me and anneliplaying x-box. see i told you shes the only girl nerd i've ever found. so anyway we finished some wonderful games of "swoosh" we went and picked up sarah at the bus, so now reunited as friends we had fun just kinda coming home in the car and then walking in the house. and then it was time for me and sarah to go party (rock on!), so we met up with liis, maret and liis's friend, karin and went out to pizza at pronto pizza, at first liis tried to order for all of us and for some reason they were a jerk to her. she asked for some quattro formaggi pizzas, they said they couldn't make them any more. she asked for just plain cheese pizza, they wouldn't make it for her, it wasn't on the normal menu. so she comes back and tells us all this and i get kinda angry, it was her birthday and they wouldn't make her pizza? thats just wrong. so i say "sarah, come here. we're gonna try our american touch.", i have her grab her CD walkman and put it on, and the 2 of us go up to the counter together, wait in line, grab some sugar cubes out of a bowl and sing and talk loudly in english. so as we get up to the counter sugar cubes in our mouths i exageratedly look at a menu (i knew what i wanted) and said slowly and loudly in english like i thought she was deaf "i would like this (exageratedly pointing at the menu), the (looking at the menu like i have trouble reading) quattro formaggi? ya, quattro formaggi, i want that.".so as sarah dances with her music the girl behind the counter stares at me blankly and "says we can't make that, sorry" so i say "then can we have just plain cheese pizza, like only cheese and suace?" and she goes "sure" looking extremely happy to get me out of her face. so as we go we pop more sugar cubes in our mouths and start loudly singing linkin park. and no one has any doubt, we are american, really and truly american. we go back, tell our amazing story and got our pizza, and much fun was had by all. especially me, because i got most of the pizza, 2 of the girls wouldn't eat all theirs. stupid girls, never eating all thier food. why do you only eat a half portion of whats put in front of you?

so then we go and went bowling, or tried to, but we had finished eating early, like really early, and could't go bowling for a hour and a half so what had fun slowly, very slowly, walking to the bowling place but of course i don't walk slowly, so i quickly got bored and started jump up high places and stuff because i was so bored of going so slow! man, never tell me "slower" it's not good for my health. so then eventually we get there and wait outside for half an hour sitting on a bunch, well the lazy girls sat on the bench, i tried to climb a tree but noticed that i was getting just a bit to big for that and kinda almost broke the branch off. so then after a while of sitting around joking for a while we finnaly went in and found out we had the whole place to ourselves, so we got lane 3, justy because we felt like it and commenced bowling. i used to be in a bowling league and therefore getting my butt kicked in bowling is very humiliating, especially by 4 girls, but sadly, i did get my butt kicked by 4 girls. i stink. sarah wasn't doing to good and we decided that it must be the music, they where playing some annoying euro-techno thing, and so me and sarah decided to ask if we could have them put on our music, they could, PARTY! so as our american music came on we started doing better, but i still lost every game.

and then after that we went to her house and had fun eating marshmallows, and watermelon and other such delicious stuff. and i tried petting her cat and that thing scrathed my hand, ow, that hurt! theres these two scabs on my hands from where two of its claws got me, that hurt! so for the rest of the night i knew to fear the cat. FEAR THE CAT!!!! so then we looked at pictures of liis when she was little, which i guess is what girls do at parties like that. and i started to feel more and more akward by the minute. then the ultimately akward thing happened. one girl (i won't give names) almost had a a girly meltdown, which i must say was a very close shave, too close for my liking. and then another girl (no name) had a full blown girly freak! curled up on the floor crying included. man i was freaked out, for like half an hour now i had been saying "hey sarah, WHEN SHOULD WE GO!!! hint hint!!" and a minute before the meltdown we had been about to go. so then the meltdown started getting worse "i wish i were dead..." and it eventually ended with a 20 minute phone call on MY MOBILE PHONE!!! when this type of thing happens girls get sympathetic, but i get mad. and i almost did get really mad, i needed my phone, and i wanted to leave. and i couldn't do either.

well anyway, me and sarah finally ditched them and took off, glad to get home i checked out inuyasha (a cool anime) online with anneli, and had fun reading about giant hairballs and cursed combs. then we played swoosh more while everyone else watched "joe someboday", we had both seen it and swoosh is so fun. so then next day, oh wait, this post is already so long, i'm gonna finish it later. tsau everyone, Cya later.

so much to write, so very, very little time!!

ok, i have 1 hour to write, and i have like almost a week, no wait, it's only been a weekend!?!? well anyway, i have a lot to write! and only an hour, ugh! ok, this will be hard, i have 2 chicks bugging me on MSN and i don't have the heart to tell them i'm busy...whatever. ok, once again i shall start where all good stories start, if you haven't guessed, it's the beggining! ok, as i stteped outside of my "bubble of non-reality", and as i looked at the world around i was filled with fear...no wait, that never really happened...oops! well anyway on what i believe was friday (my brain seems kinda screwy) anneli and sarah were supposed to come to tartu, anneli to help translate with our first church service, and sarah to go to our friend liis's birthday party(i really wanted her to come so i wouldn't be the only american). but becuase of a wonderful set of events sarah got left in tallinn but anneli made it here, lifes crazy, whatever. so anyway that was nice, me and anneli got to have a nice talk without any amercan interuptions, which was cool becuase one thing i love about talking to anneli is that we just talk about anything, nothings too stupid. so we talked about her time in america, my summer in estonia, our wonderful adventures (some the you will NEVER see on this blog, hehehe.....). and after a while our talk digressed to sailor moon (hey, i said nothings to stupid for us) and we ended up trying to read a sailor moon book she had in japanese. oh, what fun.........

now let me clear some things up, anneli is 16, really into anime, and i call her my freaky friend and she calls me her freaky friend. she is the first real girl nerd i have ever met, and so i love hanging out with her. and no, shes not like wierd or anything, just becuase she's 16 and still likes sailor moon doesnt mean shes that crazy....

so then after a nice nights sleep (i got the couch, anneli got my room) i woke and tried to watch TV with elizabeth and anneli, which was torture becuase it was a mix of info-mercials and dubbed over amercian cartoons...oh, the evil! and so after learning about the wonderful qualities of the "h2o-vac" we had breakfast and decided to go into the town center in search of good times, americans and nerdy landmarks. being me i knew where to find all 3, so with video camera in hand we went out and scared the crap out of everyone we could find, we only got 8 minutes of video tape but it was still awesome. we went around town and visited all the famous landmarks from our world famous "home video #1", and had all sorts of fun. we even visited nerd central, võlukamber (magic chamber) and checked out the anime. then we came back home and played some wonderful games of "swoosh" (star wars:battlefront on xbox). and then...*yawn*...oh look at the time, im going to bed, Cya.

the comic about my life A.K.A. zits

this is me and my mom, i swear this has happened before...only about a million times......

and becuase i love putting on pictures so much, heres on more just for the heck of it.

this is all us cool people at the airport, anneli and evelin (in the middle) had just arrived back from america and we had to go and give them a great greeting. i'm above anneli and sarah's heads, i think i look a bit like mr. bean in this picture...cool.........
