Wow so I love Lena... and the fact that i want to keep posting stuff on here but like its all in German. Ilove all the fun times we have had, like at starbucks, and Todd and Tyler's house, when we went to the mountain, coffee house, just being crazy, singing in church choir, and just liek the bonding times when we were together like dancing and stuff. Or like when Ozi or Mupig would spend the night and we like would set up a giant bed and the floor and stay up all night talking, just about the most random and stupidest things ever. Or all the weird sounds that we would make when we were laughing, or how loud you yawn and then bark...lol. I remember when you firts showed up and I was like wow, I know nothing about this girl who is going to live the next 5 months of her life with me. I was thinking about it and I was like that is sooo scary that we are allowing someone to live in our house that we knew nothing about, but then I started thinking about it, and while we were allowing you to stay here without knowing anything about you, I relized how you must have felt. You went to anyother country to live with a family that you knew nothing about just to show up and see me. But you were cool about it. The first thing that went through my head when I saw you was wow she is really pretty, I hope that she's not a snob, then I was like wow skinny and tall. Then when we started talked I was like wow she seems cool, but I still thought somewhere in the back of my head that you were goign to change and one day just be mean to me. But now here it is 5 months later and all that has happened is you have gotten cooler, something that I didn't even know was possible. It is like you are my long lost German that I have always known, or no better like a best friends, no like a sister... like a twin. I LOVE YOU MY GERMAN BEAUTY, never change cuz you rock my socks, and you are perfect the way you are!!!

Okay, so when I saw that I was really pissed at first cos I was like "I wanted to write sth like that first!!!"... Then I read it and I just wanted to cry.... Bambi, you're just amazing...!
But as I said I definitely have more reason to write you sth like this because you were the one that made my great experience first of all possible and then as amazing as it was. And I'm sooo thankful for this!
It all started with how you begged and finally covinced your parents to get an exchange student one week after Peter moved out. So my cordinator Sid and I came to your house and I still remember how all of you guys came to me, smiling and hugging me; your dad was taking pictures of course... Yes, my first thought was that you were crazy and I kept this opinion because it's just impossible to deny it... Haha, so then we were sitting in your kitchen and Sid's like: "So, you're gonna keep her for 5 months..?" And your parents seemed really shocked, looked at each other and said: "You told us it was one..!" And then they spontaneously decided to take me for 5 months! I felt so bad... Hehe, hilarious, your poor parents!! And poor you... You didn't what was expecting you and you probably didn't think I would be as crazy as you.
So first I was really scared, and you're right, it was pretty hard, but I dunno what I would have done without you. Cos you just gave me so great support!! I admire how you always (!!!) took me with you when you hung out with friends, never got jealous and always were totally chill!! I would love to be like that...! I couldn't have a strange person live at my house for such a long time and then take her with me every time I hang out with my friends. And I really didn't expect that from you! I would have been totally fine with you hanging out with your friends alone sometimes. But when I told you that you always just laughed at me and said I was crazy....
So, yes, you are just the most amazing hostsister I could ever imagine!!! And I'm not saying this just because!!! I really mean it!!! I have had suuuuch a great time and experience here, you can't even imagine, but it wouldn't have been nearly as great as it was if it wouldn't have been for you!!! I will never forget how you went home from Starbucks while we were in the car, how you gave Max a fat lip, how you taught me certain things in the basement (...), how you never eat before midnight, how you stepped in two muddy puddles with flip flops or how you went up for your solo and your grandma yelled "She's an angel!"... Because she's right!
I love ya endlessly and I'll never forget you and what you've done for me!
Yours, Lena.
P.S.: Watch out, you didn't get rid of me completely, I'll come back this summer!!!! And you'll come 2007 --> Paaaaarteeey (like Bart says... )
