SS - sexual story

2BIG are here again - but just for a couple of months.

I remember when we started to write this blog. We just had started to live together and I took this video that was about our first laundry day at Unterhof. I had a big vision about it how we will post it - gosh how things have changed after that.

When we first came to Germany and I got to know Alex, we were talking on the bus how we will visit all the restaurants that we have on Frankfurterstraße, how we are gonna write a bucket list about things to do on our erasmus year. We were actually dreaming about making this blog a fucking awesome success story and that we will be famous someday (don't know if Alex was as serious about it as I was). But now the months have gone and we just have left june and july, two pathetic months.

You know what changed our success story? Even tho we haven't been posting about it on our blog, our lives have changed completely when the year 2014 started - actually at the same time.
When Alex had her birthday, she met her boyfriend. Also I did, just at a different place.

What we didn't tell you dear readers (or Alex didn't), we went to Marktplatz after Alex's birthday surprise at Marjorie's. Alex was giving candy to total strangers, and we ended up going to Unterhof with two of these strangers - no, they didn't end up being our boyfriends today.

Anyways, we went to Unterhof. We were little bit tipsy and finally Alex found him, Jake, from the balcony - thanks to Melih or Joseph (can't remember which one it was). When I noticed that Alex had found her entertainment for the night, I continued my evening with Stuart, one Lithuanian guy and these two strangers from Marktplatz, direction Monkeys.

After some nice Jägershots, wine and weird colamixuredrink I found my boyfriend from the dance floor - pretty funny story actually, too bad you're not gonna be reading about it on this blog.

But long story short; me and Alex both fell in love. So lonely single bitches out there; if u wanna meet the love of your life, PLEASE arrange a surprise party to your best friend and get tipsy as a motherbitch.  

Because of this whole "falling in love" -thing, me and Alex have been öhm, lets say, occupied. We had our own up and downs also because of this big change in our lives. Poopproblems etc (I just love to write words together - gives it a kinda finnish edge).

But now, I feel like we are back in the game. Our friendship is not just about partying and having fun. Friendship is also a relationship and it will give you so much more if you want to work on it. We really know each other better and appreciate each other so much more as we did in the beginning. Even tho we have now quite different lives and we are not together 24/7, I still know I will have a place in Alex's life in the future - and she also has a place in mine.

Holymoly this is intense what I have been writing on this blog - sorry man.


But finally I think I can now start to tell about my birthday that Alex and some of my other friends arranged for me (even tho I heard that Alex was the brain of the whole awesomeness that I got).

Because what I had done for Alex on her birthday, I knew she had arranged something. I was waiting for something all the time - something obvious that would happen. I was just teasing myself by trying to think as Alex does, and it went totally wrong, my thoughts I mean.

On the last night, 22.5. I was staying at my boyfriends place, and he was asking my schedule for my birthday; if I'm going to the gym and going to my classes etc. I went to sleep little bit disappointed that he hadn't arranged anything for me on that night…

In the morning I woke up at 6.30 - alone. I knew my bf was gonna do breakfast for me, but at 6.30 in the morning?! I tried to continue sleeping, but I couldn't. At 7 he entered the room and asked, if I want to have my birthday present and told that the breakfast is ready in 10 minutes. I started to ask "why this soon?!" and he went to get my present. He came back to the room holding a big, flat packet that had a cupcake on it with a lighted candle, a birthday card and a paper with a long text. I started by reading the note. It told me to go to the university at 8, not to ask questions, just follow the clues that I will find on my way. I was confused - did I really have to go to my class at 8?!
After reading the paper that Alex had wrote to me, I opened the packet and ate the cupcake. Friedel (my bf) had made a collection of our pictures and framed it for me (thank you reader for the "aaaaaw" -noises).

I headed to the breakfast table and started to put myself ready to the Uni. I went to the classroom, as I had been told on the paper. There it was, standing lonely in the classroom; second clue with a cupcake and a lighter. It said that my third clue will be in Phil 1 at the cafeteria at 12. That meant I had to sit in my class for 4 hours till I could go to the next clue - I even asked if I could go to Friedels to get some -you know what- but Alex told me not to follow my hormones. I almost fell a sleep at the class and started to walk to the other campus little bit earlier than I was supposed to.

The third clue was something mm, creamy and delicious - as the second clue had promised. At the cafeteria was Annika with a bottle of beige baileys and penis shaped balloons. We cracked up the bottle of baileys and I continued my journey to the bus top, where I had to take the bus to Berlinerplatz. The number 801 bus came and at Berliner I had Sara waiting for me.

Oh, Sara looked like a polka- candy under her white-red striped umbrella. She had tied balloons over her body and was standing at Berliner with a wide smile on her face (BAHHA this sounds like a scene from a weird erotic book that have been written for 50-yo women). I went to her and she gave me clue number 4; a map that told where I will find my next clue. I was so excited ! I headed to the direction that the map pointed me to! I hugged Sara again and went to Marjories.

There she was, waiting for me on the doorstep and taking photos of me. I was now wearing the balloons Sara had had on her when I saw her at Berliner.
I got in to Marjories apartment and she gave me some champagne and took me to her bathroom. She had put some candles, music and flowers all around the bathroom. Kinda seductive, don't you think?
I was supposed to just enjoy myself and take a bath and put myself ready for the day that was still ahead. I decided to take a normal shower and continued sipping my champagne.

While putting myself ready, doing makeup and nails, Marjorie had made me a salad. After I had done everything for the evening, we headed to eat the salad and I got the clue number 5; a card and a appointment at a salon. Marjorie called me a cab that took me to the salon and there was waiting my flower headband and a girl that knew what to do with my hair! Amazoon

She started to curl my hair and in the end I had two hairstylist doing my hair and putting it together. All of a sudden Friedel came in to the salon as well and after my hair was done and fabulous, we went to eat together to the boat house. It was sunny again, and we enjoyed our meal outside.

Everyone was staring at me because of my hair and long dress. We finished our meal and I wanted to leave the restaurant - the sun was just shining too brightly and I was melting. We started to walk back to the city centre and went to sit in the shadow. Friedel was texting almost constantly and I just knew something was up. Somehow I got a feeling that my friends had arranged something to the central bar. Well, around 7.30 we went to the central bar and my friends were waiting for me there. They started to sing happy birthday to me and I just said "fuck you guys, I'm going home".

How amazing is this all? So many steps, I was so excited and the end was sooo amazing. So many people had came to celebrate me at central bar. I felt so lucky. Why all of these people want to be here for me - what I have done for deserve this?

The whole night was a success. Although couple of annoying bitches jumped the queue and went head of us.

In the morning I woke up happily and thought in my head; yesterday was the best day of my life.
Im so grateful to all of my friends that joined me on my birthday. The biggest hug and thanks goes ofc to my fabulous roommate, Alex. My life in Germany wouldn't be anything without you, sis.

I still don't know how I can show her how much I appreciate her and how grateful I am to her for being my friend. She is
truly a treasure. Jake is a one lucky boy !








































So now I am 22. holy

with love,
Merzi

The Never Ending Story...Continued...actually coming to an end...so it's not neverending

Guten Tag Leute!

Hello again readers.  So,  I know what you are thinking and yes, it has been a very long time since either Meri or I have updated you on our adventures/crazy lives.

So here is an update on what we have been doing:

Both Meri and I have been super busy.  During Christmas break Meri and I met up in Amsterdam for a New Years celebration.  We spent 4 days there biking, partying, eating, shamelessly walking the streets, and couchsurfing with our friendly, but a little bit strange, host, Fabian.

How to describe Fabian?  He is a little like a wannabe gangster but not so much gangster.  I guess it is hard to say, but just imagine you are staying with a complete stranger that you met online who just opens his home to hundreds of guests a year (he says he's had hundreds) and doesn't know how to use a heater in the dead of winter.  Yeah, that is exactly what Meri and I did.  Fortunately, he turned out to be a pretty normal guy, however, I say normal lightly.  Meri definitely approved of him on the last day.

While we were saying goodbye and getting ready to leave, Meri gave Fabian a parting kiss.  Now I know it was an accident, one went in for a hug while the other a cheek kiss, and one thing led to another and there you have it, lips were locked!  I really can never let her live this one down.  I just wish I had a camera to document and share with all of you.  I really had to just turn around and laugh a little on the inside.

After Amsterdam, and Meri's unfortunate collision with Fabian, we got busy preparing for the end of winter semester and all the dreadful exams that come with it.

February was, well, great.  Meri left for Finland the day after the semester ended for a big party hosted by her home university.  She had a blast seeing all her old friends and her family.  I also left the same day for Valencia, Spain.  I was there for 4 days.  Meri was gone for almost 2 weeks.  Lets just say I missed her loads.

I finally purchased a second or third, maybe even fourth hand bike.  The first day Meri and I hit the road with our bikes together, she was hit with a car.  But don't fret, my readers, it was very lightly and she was not injured.  The guy seemed very sincerely sorry and we went on our way.  The guy even recognized Meri the next day while were were having lunch out and came to apologize once more.

March has been a little bit slower.  The weather has been so good we have spent many of the days out at the park.  The first day out we lost the volleyball in the river.  Our friend, being the good citizen that he is, stripped down to absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, to jump in the river and retrieve it.  Just think,  we were in a public park set up next to a playground with tons of other people enjoying the first good weather of the year.  Lets just say we got a lot of attention for those few minutes we had a naked guy in our group.

Also I wanted to share with you guys something very special that happened recently.  The neverending story has finally ended.  It happened on a cold rainy night in.  Meri finally got to put her nipple to my bellybutton.  Yes, it is true she was overly ecstatic when I gave her the permission to do it.  She almost didn't believe me.  All you really need to know is that it was about the weirdest most awkward situation I have been in for a while.  I honestly can say that I don't think even Meri enjoyed it that much either.

Well there you have it...an ending to a ridiculous but fabulous memory that I may or may not want to remember.

Oh and today we leave you with this clip.  It's also pretty freaking ridiculous.  Leave some comments and let us know what you think.  I will tell you in both Meri's and my opinions, we do not support her ideas or words.



And of course we couldn't leave without the song of the day:

Monday, January 20, 2014

but wait...there's more!

I'm back my dear readers!

First, I just want to say that today's post is a little different than the ones you know and love.  Of course, this won't become an ongoing thing, but I just wanted to share something special that happened to me recently.

Enough foresight, I'll get right into it.  Wednesday December 18 was my 21st birthday.  A day my little American butt has been waiting for for what seemed like a million years!  However, being in Germany I knew it wasn't going to be as big of deal because I've been able to legally drink here for the last 2 years.  No big deal, right!?  Still, turning 21 is a major milestone for an American and I still wanted it to be a blast.

So as the day was nearing, Meri kept asking me what I wanted to do.  For some reason in the weeks nearing the special day I wasn't necessarily keen on really doing anything big.  I don't know why, but it seemed like it wasn't that big of deal to me anymore.  I told Meri, "Oh, I think maybe I will just ask a few people to go to Frankfurt for dinner or something like that."  Meri wasn't having that at all.  She would say things like, "Oh no you have to have a party. We can go to Frankfurt and drink and have fun!"  With all of the things going on I really just didn't feel in the mood for a party.  I posted in our ERASMAS group message on Facebook that I would be going to Frankfurt for a dinner on my birthday and if anyone wanted to join they were more than welcome to.

A couple days later I still had no response to it and I then realized, "What the hell am I thinking, I'm turning 21.  This is special!"  I wondered why no one had answered me back and even the people I had asked face to face had all said they had plans or had come up with some kind of excuse to why they couldn't make it. Really, I was beginning to be bothered, did I do something to piss people off and now they wont even come celebrate my Birthday with me? I told myself it was no big deal and that I shouldn't be upset, because in fact we were all nearing the Christmas vacation and everyone had a lot going on.  People were studying for midterms and getting ready to go back to their families for Christmas, I was the one being selfish asking for people to do this for me.  So I didn't ask anyone else.  I figured I would go to Frankfurt with Meri and make the best of my day and have a good time.

Well the day finally arrived.  I made Pie the night before, "because no one should be without cake on their birthday" is what I always say.  Instead I chose pumpkin and apple pie and another special treat.  Pekko arrived with flowers in the morning and we all ate pie and enjoyed the morning until it was time to get ready to go to Frankfurt.  And we were off.

We met Stuart at the train station and I was delightfully surprised by Zach and his girlfriend, Stephanie.  They also joined us.  It was a good thing Meri had made the reservation to the restaurant for 5 because now we were 5.  When we got off the train in Frankfurt was another surprise.  Natalia was waiting.  She said she was waiting for Bulat (our shitty Russian Friend).  So I simply asked her if they wanted to join us for dinner.  This is where it gets interesting.

Ok, so for the people who really know me.  Honestly I am pretty oblivious to everything.  I had no idea what was going on and I really just thought that everything was a coincidence up to this point.  I said to Meri, "We should call the restaurant and tell them we need a few more spots at our table."  All of the sudden Meri starts going off, "Ok ok fine! I got 15 of your friends and we have been planning a surprise for you the whole time.  That is why everyone has not been talking to you all week.  Everyone was going to surprise you at the restaurant! Uggg!"  Needless to say she was pretty flustered and cursing, in the middle of the train station, because she almost pulled it off completely.  The whole thing was rather amusing.

But for me it didn't matter.  It was the sweetest thing ever.  I actually started to tear up while she was having her little tantrum(Meri's English word of the day).  Really, the day before I had been so sad that everyone was blowing me off on my Birthday I actually started to cry at home the night before.  What wonderful friends for doing something so sweet for me.

We all ate an awesome meal and had some great drinks and then went back home.  I wasn't able to have a typical get drunk, drink 21 shots, and pass out 21st birthday because I had an early morning class, but it still was just what I wanted.  I enjoyed it so much.  I looked at all of the people there and thought.  These are the people who I want to be my friends.  These are the people that truly care, and it really warms my heart that they would do something so special and sweet.  I was a happy girl in the end of the night.








BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE!!!!!!


The next day I didn't plan to do anything.  I had already had the greatest surprise party thrown for me so I was ready to relax.  I had night class that night and it was the last class before the Christmas break so everyone was having a party in the German Christmas Markets to celebrate and experience a little German style Christmas.  I did that and I was with everyone in my class.  When I was ready to go I texted Meri and asked her to come to the Christmas market and meet me and we would go home together. (She was already in the city center to do some other various errands.)

While walking to the bus she suddenly said to me, "Alex. I really have to poop."  I didn't think anything of it.  Just normal Meri.  Really, she does this kind of thing all the time.  I told her to go into the Mcdonald's and just use their restroom. No big deal right?  No! By Meri's standards that is not ok.  She kept going on about how she couldn't use public toilets to go number 2.  I don't neccessarily understand, but whatever. To each his own, right?  So we got to the bus and she asks, "Marjorie lives around her doesn't she?  I'm just going to call Marjorie and ask if I can use her toilet."  By this point I was just like, "Ok, whatever call her and see what she if she's home."  

Turns out Marjorie was home.  Meri started to head there but I was going to sit at the bus stop and wait.  She wasn't having that and told me I had to go with her.  I wasn't thinking anything of it and just going with it.  When Meri has to poop she has to poop.  Such a strange Finnish girl.  Anyway, we get to Marjorie's place and Meri bolts up the stairs to the restroom.  I start talking to Marjorie and apologizing for Meri's strange actions and then we continue to talk about random things and she keeps trying to get me to go inside the apartment.  Still, at this point I'm not thinking anything of anything and everything is completely normal to me.  "Do you want some tea," ask's Marjorie.  Well of course I wasn't going to turn down her offer! How rude would that be!?

When she opens the door...BAM! Everyone is there with Balloons and yelling, "Surprise!" Not only had Meri planned one surprise party, she had planned TWO! I couldn't believe it!  I really was so surprised and had no clue whatsoever that this was happening.

Anyway, that night turned out to be one of the best nights I have had in my life.  All my friends came together and threw me not one but two surprise parties for my 21st birthday.  I want to cry just thinking about how lucky I am to have met such wonderful caring people in this experience.  Now I know that these are the people who are going to leave a mark on me.  These are the people whom I will remember for the rest of my life.  Not only because they did such a wonderful thing for me, but because they are such wonderful people themselves.

I learned one big life lesson as I was looking at the people surrounding me that night.  Surround yourself with people who care about you and who make you feel good and people who want the best for you in your life.  All those other people in the world don't matter.  I really am a lucky girl to have all these great people in my life and I couldn't ask for a better or different exchange year.












Thanks to all the people I have met this past year! You have made it great and memorable!

With Love Alex
