Have Yourself A Merry Little Fourth

I hope all you back in America have or have had a wonderful, festive, and patriotic Fourth of July, depening on when you read this.

Basically, last night I called my parents, got a headache, and went to sleep. Today I went to school. On the Fourth of July. I ought to have protested or something. Same old same old. Had to go back in for Sport. They said, "It might rain, bring an umbrella or rainjacket." So I bring an umbrella. Just as I get off at the bus stop, it begins to rain. So, I walk in the rain to the Sporthalle. I go inside, change, go into the gymnasium itself, and, looking at the windows, notice the rain has stopped. I play Team Handball for an hour and a half, then change, go back outside. It's started raining again, lightly. Suddenly, cloudburst, its completely pouring. I make my way back to my stop, but slowly, so that I miss the bus I normally catch and have to wait another 7 minutes or so. On the bus I'm hit up for money from some panhandler whom I couldn't really understand, but his breath smelled like cigarettes, and also, he lives in Germany, so I figured he survive well enough.

The more pressing concern presently is your comments:
Parker, the difference is that nobody can really understand you ;) Unless you want to talk (in simple sentences, mind you) to Johnny and my mudda.
Zoe, I'd hold your tongue. Honestly... you might be good, but don't write a check your bum can't cash.
So, anonymous, are you telling me that I've already written your name? I haven't been singling anyone out specifically when I guess, just stabbing in the dark cuz i'm really bad at this game... wait... Nick Houle. That's my final answer.
Sorry I missed you when I called, Mom. I would've called earlier Saturday morning like I usually do, but I was out at Kunz's party. Usually Saturday afternoons around here are free and the heavier partying is done later ;) I'll hopefully be able to try again next week though, unless you'd like me to call you some other time.

About the languages:
"und parker, bitte, lass uns intlligenter männer, und weiben (schuldigung tara) zu unsere intelligente sprache." -Matt
"and parker, please, let us intelligent men, and women (sorry tara) to our intelligent language."
Basically, all we're talking about is the possibility of meeting up somewhere over here in Germany. Mitch threw in that he enjoyed reading and writing German, so I agreed to add some in every post. Tara also agreed, and told me I was the smartest, best-looking, funniest, most charming person in the world. And also that I was good at German, but that kind of takes a back seat.

Also, Tara, meinst du, daß mein deutsch war vorher nicht so ausgezeichnet? lol. wenn du wirklich umlauts schreiben will, kannst du ä,ö,ü,ß in Microsoft Word unter Insert>Symbol... finden, dann kannst du in Word schreiben und kopieren, und in Blogger einfügen. Aber glaub' ich, daß wir dich verstehen kann, auch wenn du keine schreibst. Du hast auch ein paar Dinge über mich in deinem Kommentar vergessen, aber hab' ich die in die Übersetzung gesteckt. ;) Hattest du mir auch gesagt, daß du nach der Schweiz kommen wirst? Alle gute Dinge sind drei, also du, ich, und Matt in Europa kann nicht schlecht sein. Falls ja, wann und wo? Matt, leider glaub' ich daß eine Treffung würde wohl unmöglich, solange dein Flugzeug nicht direkt in Ludwigsburg abstürtzt. Wenn du von irgendeinem Plan denken kannst, schlag's mir vor. In Deutsch haben wir heute über Dialekten gelernt. Ich fand das vom Westen am leichtsten und ein vom Norden am schwersten. Wie viel kannst du dann verstehen? Na Jungs... mein "mädchenabenteuer" kommt noch nicht weil ich habe kein geschicht zu erzählen, mein' ich. Sobald das ändert werdet ihr wissen, kann ich daß euch versprechen.

If you're still aching over the language thing, I'll open one up to the wider English-speaking public: I've been hear near on five weeks now. What would you personally like? Absolutely anything I can do for you, pictures, information, you name it, I'll work on fetching it and reporting back to you. I'm sure I've missed some of your comments or questions, so if you have any I haven't answered, or even if you haven't asked them yet, feel free to do so.

Also, Parker, just for you, since you seem to be most sorely hurt by our Fremdsprache (foreign language). Get your math hat on:
Among 79 consecutive natural (positive whole) numbers, there is at least one whose sum of its inclusive digits (803=8+0+3=11) is divisible by 13. Explain, and show also that this does not hold for 78 consecutive natural numbers.
I got the answer in about 45 minutes and am working on translating my explanation to German.
