Bechamel in Marseille

AH crap.

I’m so happy. So ridiculously happy.

Yea. Jooree is in a commitment. Shit. It’s 2:20 in the morning, I have class in 5 hours and all I could think about is him. I’m listening to ridiculous love songs thinking about him.

BLAH

So it’s thanksgiving this thursday and I”m getting homesick. My first thanksgiving away from home and I’m going to miss the prime rib, turkey, stuffing, creamed corn, mashed potatoes, YAMS (they don’t have yams or sweet potatoes here!!), green beans, cranberries (which they don’t also!), pumpkin pie. OH mon dieu!

So you bitches (esp Ryan) as you sit down to your dinner, think of me as I eat my dry turkey breast sandwich.

Drink of the entry

A piece of ass

1 shot Amaretto
1 shot Southern Comfort
Fill with sweet and sour mix

AHH another week in France has flown by. Crap its november? the middle of november? Shit.

I’ve been considering staying here longer. I know. Jooree changed her plans again. If things go according to this new plan, i’ll be pushing back the peace corps until 2007. Yea thats right, I might be in France that long.

I posted my address here a couple entries ago so I’ve started to make a wish list since people are asking me if there was anything i wanted from home. (thanks pastor cho)

SOO
1) Victoria secret’s body lotion in endless love. And lots of it
2) Books and the new yorker. And good books, not the shit on oprah’s bookclub list. SO anything by a russian author, classics, joseph mitchell, david foster wallace
3) Chips. Flamin’ hot cheetos. AND lays cheddar and sour cream….damn
4) KImchi or any kind of korean food if possible.
5) Candles
6) Mayo( french mayo SUCKS) and ranch. Marie’s buttermilke ranch. NOBODY eats ranch here. Oh god, i’m dying

But most of all, I’d prefer a phone call or a letter. And its the cheapest. Yea. Exactly (sher)

OH btw I cut my hair. My new french haircut.

Anyways, nothing much to say here. I did lose weight though. Fuck I love France. NOne of my jeans fit me anymore. it must be all the walking. Or it could be all the sex. Either way, I’ve lost weight! School is the same, I’ve fallen into this predictable pattern of life in France. And it’s comfortable. School, looking for the perfect cup of cafe creme, meeting up with new friends, going out, long walks at night, it’s nice.

OK enough of the sap. I’m going to start something new here for my dear readers. It’ll be my drink of the entry.

SO today’s drink of the entry:

Abortion
1 oz white creme de cacao
1 oz amaretto
1 oz irish cream
1 splash of grenadine syrup

Combine and shake well with ice. Serve with a bit of placenta if desired.

Enjoy.

au revoir bitches,

AH blah.
I Have internet! AH

OK update quickly about my life so far in pictures….

Halloween was fantastic. i went as this…

The most populasr costume of the night were men dressing as women…

ANyways,, click on the picture for more halloween pictures.

I went to ventimegla, italy with my roomate and this random guy I met at a bar the night before. WHo by the way was the WEIRDEST guy EVER>

He was half italian, half corsican and he insisted that he knew the “best quality” of everything. He acutally struck me as quite german…very efficient….almost scary

My roomate was there too.

italy was lovely. I bought Italian leather pumps for 40 euros! 40!! AHH! But this was the best thing I bought in Italy

Yea thats right. It’s a foot long of ITALIAN pasta. AHH. I haven’t cooked it yet, but I’ll eat it with the sun-dried tomatoes I bought in Italy too. Yea be JEALOUS.

Then I went to Avignon with alex. It was nice, quiet town, no americans…

The only reason why Avignon is famous is because a pope used to live here. So here is the pope palace.

It was fun relaxing, just hanging out at the cafe, I must have walked for like 4 hours. But it was good. I haven’t had a good, relaxing time like that in a long time.

My date for the day

Some place where they executed a lot of people

Lovely bridge next to the fleuve

voila, ma vie en Aix.

So my brother emailed me
“be careful of the riots. i’ll write more later. what the fuck are
they about anyway. i read they were close to marseille so i hope you
dont die by a car bomb.”

I have a loving brother

To clear things up for my dear, worried readers, the riots are in north of France. So I’m pretty safe. Think of it like the LA riots and I’m in Irvine. Same concept. There has been one report of violence about 1 hour from Aix-en-provence, but I’m good.

And to answer the question of what they’re about anyways, it all started when two youths in the ghettos outside of Paris got electrocuted when they tried to run away from the police. The tensions between the city of Paris and the ghettos had been simmering for some time. I’m suprrised it took this long for things to explode. I know there is a mandatory 12am curfew in Paris now. Does not apply to Aix once again.

BUT if you don’t hear from me in a week….then start to worry.

PS:
I have a cell phone.

06 27 89 87 21

I have free incoming calls. from anywhere in the world. that’s right bitches. CALL ME!

AH ok so I am alive…

My french internet decided to take a 2 week lunch (actually something happened so like 33,000 are without internet in Aix…..)

I have no pictures (sorry) but the internet is still shaky. But the past 3 weeks have been interesting. People are already talking about me behind my back, so I guess I’ve made my mark on Aix. I’ve forgotten how everyone knows everything in a small town. Halloween was interesting as the most popular costume was men dressing up as women. Me, I went as Mademoiselle Fessee. (look it up)

Oh btw, I’m seeing someone. And its serious. Yea, I know. Leave me a comment and email addy if you want details. I’m too private/lazy to post everything up here.

Oh and I got tagged by spaz so here are 7 random facts about me…

1) I almost always sleep on my right side. It’s because I”m partially deaf in my left year and I hate noise so when I sleep on my right ear, I can’t hear anything. But I’m also a deep sleeper and I can sleep anywhere anytime.

2) I don’t really love chocolate that much. I love potato chips more than anything in the world. (btw france does not have flaming hot cheetos….actually France has a pretty dismal selection of chips…so if anybody wants to send them to me….
Mle jooree cho
Chez Mme Chalvet
Mirabeau Bat G3
3 Place Narvik
13100 Aix-en-provence, France

3) I secretly obsess about my weight and looks. But I still think I look smoking hot most of the time

4) I voted for Bush in 2004. (yea yea yea CALIFORNIA went to Kerry anyways ) I have personal reasons for that

5) I miss my parents the most out here…and my dogs

6) I’m a really nice person. I just never show it.

7) I like Kelly Clarkson. A lot.

OK, so I tag……Sherling, Go, Ryan Rhie, Nathan

Au revoir…..

jooree

PS: Duvall……call me at 04 42 38 00 34 whenever you can. I hope everything is ok, and the christmas plan? Perhaps? Keep safe and don’t be a fucking hero.
