Happy Rainbow Unicorn Poop

So hello our happy readers!

Halloween is coming and we're panicking about it - just like every day when we're going to the bus stop. Why the bus is always on time when we are late? Like today; we had to go to our german abend class and the bus was fucking 20 minutes late. Because of that I had to stand the nasty look from my german teacher. GERMANY, YOU'RE DRUNK again.

But happy thoughts!

First of all; I want to announce that we DID our laundry on Sunday! 

Alex working that ass even when she's asleep 

But it wasn't that enjoyable laundry night because my ice lolly dropped on the floor

The sunday laundry experience was so much better than the last one in Unterhof. Now I will tell you the whole story, the laundry night at Unterhof -story. Brace yourselves.


On Tuesday night we came back home from Unterhof. We had been sitting the night at our friends place and decided to walk back home, because it takes about 20 minutes. It was really dark and windy, like u can imagine a horror story, it was like that. Suddenly a black cat crosses the street - oh fuck. We didn't even spit over our shoulders! And because of that mulkku musta kissa our lives were ruined.

On Wednesday morning we were ready. It was one of those normal Wednesdays, the day in the middle of the week. We had planned this journey for one day, it was the first laundry day at Unterhof.
We had packed our laundry to our IKEA bags and took the bus number 1 to Berliner Platz. The bus was on time and we were two happy campers waiting for the Unterhof bus that was coming in 2 minutes - perfect! But then the black cat came to the picture; we missed that bus just because we were so excited about seeing Shannon who had came back from Ireland. Well, we just had to wait for the another bus to come, which took about 20 minutes. And that was the black cat -issue number 1.

Finally we got in to the bus. We got seats and we were happy campers again. The Unterhof stop was near and we prepared our selves for going out of the bus. The bus stopped, we pushed the button... Aaand the black cat came to the picture again! The fucking door didn't open, even though we pushed the button like 892837 times. We had to go all the way to Naturwissenschaften and walk from there with our big ass IKEA bags. The black cat -issue number 2.

We went down to Unterhof to do our laundry. We were tired of carrying those heavy IKEA bags and pissed off because of the black cat. We put our shit to the machines and wanted to pay - the machines didn't have numbers on them (if u live in these amazing dorms that Gießen has to offer, u know how to pay for doing your laundry) and we just had to guess which machine is what. The black cat -issue number 3.

The washing machines were supposed to be done after 45 minutes. During the machines were doing their thing, we decided to do some grocery shopping because we didn't have any food at our place. Grocery shopping was nice, and everything was fine. UNTILL we came back to Unterhof; someone had taken my laundry out of the washing machine and had put it on the laundry table - known also as "filled with international bacteria -table", and I hate bacteria. The black cat -issue number 4.

We put our "clean" laundry to the dryers and went home to put the groceries to the fridge. We came back to Unterhof and I found my laundry from the international bacteria table... And they weren't even dry yet; someone had taken my laundry out of the dryer and had put his/her laundry to the dryer instead. All the dryers were in use at that moment so I had to make my own journey to the other laundry place in Unterhof where my laundry was getting dry eventually. Alex also had to pay her dryer twice, because apparently the dryers weren't working that well. While waiting for the dryers to finish, we had to check the other dryer that had my laundry in it in the beginning. It was finished and we took it out... We took out just one little blue towel with pink dots on - like WTF?! Who wants to pay 1€ for drying one pathetic towel?! Who wants to take a bagful of wet clothes from the dryer and replace it with one towel?! Like this is the time, when you have another chance to think about the whole thing again - "do I really want to pay 1€ for drying this towel?" The black cat -issue number 5.

I know, I'm an evil person. But it was just because of the situation. I'm truly sorry, if someone felt bad after reading this - if it's you or your friend... I'm sorry. Well at least you can try to clone me, because I kissed that paper. Meri number 2, parteyyy 

Yes, I left that message for the towels owner. I really feel bad about it now, but I think it's still funny. Everyone can take a little joke, right?

Our little laundry day took us for five hours. We were exhausted. We were sad. We were ready to destroy all of the black cats out there. Five fucking black cat -issues. BE AWARE!  

And now Alex wants us to buy this kitten: 

She's out of her mind. All cats are evil. We're just gonna get two gold fish: Mac and Cheese. 

On last Friday I was on my regular run and I saw that black cat again. It was terrifying. 

BUT BACK TO HAPPY THOUGHTS:

WE HAVE TOILET PAPER poopie time, peace man 

The tango of the black cat 

Here is some inspiration for Halloween. You can also see those amazing subtitles on the Wrecking ball video - is it spanish? Black cat, Miley Cyrus or YouTube - hard choice...

Happy Halloween, peace and blessings! Watch out for those black cats out there, they're evil.

With Love,
Meri

It's Sunday....in Deutschland

Ok so for all you people who do not live and have never been to Deutschland(Germany) here is a little explanation of why Sunday in Deutschland is such a big thing:

ABSOLUTELY ALL THE SHOPS ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAY!

So in most peoples minds you would think, "Great a day I can be super productive and get so much stuff done like homework and housework and other miscellaneous random ass shit that I procrastinated doing during the week because I've just been to busy to even try to do it." That is not the case for Meri and I.  Here is a little look at our day that we should be doing shit that we need to do:

This is what I find when I come from the bathroom.

Highest level of Procrastination achieved. (Along with some salad dressing).

Procrastination!

We have been talking about doing our laundry for a week.  Sunday is usually laundry day in the Almer Forwie household.  Still procrastinating that one.

We would rather do shit like this.

my reaction to the above picture :)

 Oh yeah and we ran out of toilet paper.  It's sunday......

 

Meri really has to shit!

And just a little look at what we are listening to:

So basically Sundays are a fun filled day of procrastination and doing stupid shit that makes no sense to anyone but us! Peace and Blessings from this crazy bitch :)

With love Meri and Alex!

Meri-Tuulia

This is Meri-Tuulia a.k.a Ocean Winds (translated from Finnish to English).

My first impression of Meri: she is sassy, classy, and so fashionable.  I was honestly pretty jealous of her when I first saw her.  Everything about her radiates confidence and style.  She can pull anything out of a closet and make it look good.  I love the way that she can start a conversation with anyone and make it a legit and genuine conversation.  She brings people together and makes everyone feel as though we are always having a good time; just because she can laugh and enjoy herself it makes others want to do the same.

When I first met Meri I knew instantly that I wanted to be her friend.  You know when you meet someone and you just feel like you've known them your whole life.  That's how it was when I met Meri.  We instantly got each other.  Our understanding of each other is so simple and easy.  We have the silliest inside jokes and interactions all the time.  Our friendship has blossomed in the most natural way possible and I know that I can talk about anything with this girl.  We will be together the rest of our lives as friends, no matter where we are in the world.  I couldn't be more happy that this is the other half to 2 Broke International Girls :) <3

Our first night going out together :)

She is always so fierce.

This is how we communicate through texts.

 Meri is a Time-Nazi.  She always wants to be on time and absolultey dislikes people who make her late.  It's one of the reasons why I love her.  Do not keep Meri waiting, she will leave your ass :)

Beautiful, Intelligent, and most of all Fun!

 Everything about her screams fun.  She radiates this beautiful light of fun, all you want to do is become her friend :)

The end of summer party! We dressed as our countries.

 She is absolutely in love with her country.  Every time we see something from Finland she will definitely point it out to you and then proceed to explain about it.  I love the fact that she is so proud of where she comes from!

She even sleeps in a fashionable way.

Well fuck you to! <3

Moving to our new apartment!

I've made a good example and now she is on her phone 24/7.  Just like and American :)

I took her Vapiano virginity.

A normal day in our apartment involves underwear on our faces. No big deal.

 She makes me feel as though I can do anything.  Around Meri you never have to be embarrassed.  I love the fact that she accepts everyone and everything for what he/she/it is.  She never judges anyone or anything for who/what they are.  She doesn't even realize how big of deal it is to be so non-judgement to everyone.  That is why you want to be her friend.  She accepts you for you and will never take that for granted.

Meri always makes new friends! Patrick :)

Of course she can pull of any look. Even Snookie! Can you say Haaaawt <3

Meri. The meatball to my spaghetti. The salt to my pepper. The ying to my yang. My best Friend and Sister.

 I would have never thought I could find someone like Meri.  She really is the best most awesome friend I could have! This year of crazy and madness would be so different it I didn't become friends with this beautiful girl.

To our readers: Be prepared for some crazy, boring, amazing, lovely, inspirational, beautiful, angry, wonderful post from the 2 of us!  We look forward to sharing our experiences and crazy, stupid things we do.  I only hope we can inspire others to enjoy life like Meri and I are and plan to do :)

With Love Alex

ALEX

This is Alex

She's the other part of Broke Internationals, the American one. Her name is Alex, she's 20 and her birthday will be 18.12. - We're gonna have a big party on December! 

The first time when I saw her, I thought she's quiet and that she doesn't like me - she's quite the opposite! She's loud, she loves me and she's just fucking awesome. Sorry for my bad language, I'm not sorry höhö.

The first night together

We were sitting next to each other in the bus sending pictures 

Alex doesn't like microwaves that much; when her food gets cold, she doesn't want to warm it again. The same goes to tea and coffee; she drinks it, even though it's cold.

We moved to our house! 

Alex likes the color pink. She loves animals and wants to get a cat in our apartment.

Alex eating finnish candy in a S-bahn!

Alex likes to meditate. One night we went out, she said she feels like she's high because of meditation. She really has the strength to concentrate and she can keep her mind about things - I mean if she wants something, she's gonna get it. I really envy that part of her. 

The annoying laundry day in Unterhof

Alex doesn't like licorice; I will get some finnish licorice to her and then she'll love it! Whoop whoop

She loves black chocolate and is always making something good for us.  

We have our weird moments and I have a lot of videos of Alex where she's dancing. I love her sense of humor, especially when she can get my stupid jokes. The way that she makes people feel around her is really really amazing; you can only feel like home around her. She's always making sure, everything's ok. So unselfish.

We were going to eat Spaghetti eis!

Alex is an vegetarian, even though we ate some turkey for the first lunch in our house. She likes eggs, loves spinach and could cover the whole fucking sachertorte with sahne. She's mad about whipped cream and of course peanut butter and nutella - especially the mixture of them. 

Alex is an amazing cook! And that's one of her dreams, to have own restaurant. She makes the best avocado pasta and cookies. She knows that she's good at cooking, and that makes her cookings more better! She has the talent, and she's not afraid to use it. One time she made a cake and was unsure if it's good. It was just fucking awesome! I could have swam in that cake. 

DJ's birthday

Alex has one whole bag full of chocolate, just for her grand mum. Under you can see all of the beauty of the bag - we have ate a lot of that chocolate. I'm a chocolate freak.

Our first night in our crib with chocolate

Alex is really bossy sometimes. She likes to take control of everything and it's fine by me! She's always the leader of the group and is always ready to help everyone. She's so shearing and warm person.

In Frankfurt

Alex is a traveller. She wants to see the world, she wants to see what's out there. She enjoys just to experience things and is open to everything. Even though she's pretty strict about what she wants, she can always do compromises with everyone. She never wants people to feel bad or sad about their selves.

She was being funny 

As everyone, Alex also has dreams. Dreams about what she wants to be. Sometimes I with I could be more like her, I think she doesn't even know how amazing she is!

Alex plays golf and just now she put a flag on our wall with signatures - of course golf players signatures. 

Our intelligent drunk-night <3 

So that's her! My little hunny booboo. I love you with all my heart and you're my best friend and I know, that's gonna be the fact of the rest of our lives. PUSIPUSI 

With love,
Meri
