Lisa's French Adventures

Short list of 17 for now. I'll try to add more =]

1. We say OW! they say AY!
2. They don't say "oui" they say "si" - spanish?
3. Bread (bagette) is never places up side down. Its disrespectful to bakers, farmers etc.
4. Employees don't have uniforms
5. School is until 5:55!
6. Putan - slut (used often - n is not pronounced)
   
7. MERD! - shit obv.
8. AH FOUTRE! - OH FUCK!
9. Kiss twice each cheek - no hugs? =[
10. White joggers pants with elastic at ankle are "in" (those guys are "gangster" - HA)
11. NO AZNS?! Theres maybe 2 in the whole school
12. Cafeterias are like in those stereotype "American high schools"
13. They all use fountain pens
14. School is like the drive from Dufferin and Rutherford all the way to Downsview station. Maybe even longer cuz all the roads are swirly and not straight like Dufferin.
15. Theres flat declining escalators for those who parked underground to bring shopping charts to their car.
16. I sit through german class - well, I sleep. It's good nap time :)

I think I might go walking more often. It's so beautiful outside. Veronique and I went on a walk today we went to this close by (it was actually close by) park. It was more like a reservation park area thingy. Yea, kinda like the one at Finch and Dufferin, but bigger. I remembered the name, its called Lacroix Laval. I even googled it, and t has it's own website.
Anyways, I'll post the pictures on facebook. Maybe one on here if its pretty enough. Im trying to find away, if possible, to put photo albums on here. Some crazy as xhtml code, stick it in the template coding or w.e and bam - albums AHEM johny thats when you come in again AHEM

AHEM my countdown johny? AHEM
love you =]

Anyways back on track, I say anyways alot. Is that a bad habit? Maybe I should think of other ways to start my sentences. So ... Alright ... This afternoon (thats better) for lunch her mom made this thing. Ugh, I can't believe I ate it. It was like spinach pasta. No not pasta flavored with
spinach, no. It was eating spinach, plain spinach, as if it was pasta, with hard boiled egg. *barf*
Normally I dont mind spinach which is why I fully went for it, but EW is all i have to say. My face right now while writing this. Gross.

So, this ones for you mom. We saw this one tree, I forget what its called but it blooms pretty pink flowers all over. Veronique said that its one of the first trees to blossom. Theres another tree (I thought it was cool) we didnt see it, but she told me about it. Something that starts with a "P" I think, anyways, it blooms yellow flowers and then after all the flowers are in bloom (I'm using bloom a lot) only then do the leaves of the tree start to grow. How cool is that? Flower before leaves. What do you think mommy? =]

Uhm there was something else ... Hmmm. OH so I made a silly little list or "specific" things they say in France, I think ill just make a new post with the list. It's not too long right now but I'll try and add onto it. Thought that might be cool too.

Thats all for today, or so far at least.
T'ill next time.
Lisa <3

ps - as of today, I'll be home in exactly 2 months =]

If I had the letters "HRT",
I can add "EA" to get a "HEART",
or a "U" and get "HURT",
I'd rahter choose "U" and get "HURT" than have a "HEART" without "U"

I have nothing to say.
I'm in France.
I speak french.
The end.

February 08 2009

So its Sunday today. M not at home, or meryls home we’re still at her god parents house. They’re really friendly. They have 2 daughters and a son. Meryl and I stayed in he sons room because he has his own apartment now. One daughter is 18 and the other 16. The 18 year old is gorgeous. Really, and the other well, she’ll unique. She not ugly not at all just, they don’t look a like at all. And the brother (19 years old) OUF good thing he wasn’t here or else… JOKES. Kay no but he’s really good looking. Punk ish you could say but – reasonable and controlled. Uhmm what else is here to say, they live in an apartment too. Its not the same as in Toronto, maybe I just haven’t seen enough apartments but it’s inda like – kinda like where safta lives. Something like that just on the 4^th floor. Sorry, can’t explain more than that xD

So we got here yesterday at … 2? And the purpose of our journey to Grenoble (that’s where I am btw xD) Was to visit Lauren J So, we arrived at the apartment of her god parents and meryls mom called Laurens “mom”. So what do we find out

1) She left the house at 1:20

2) Shes in front of the museum of Grenoble (wtf is that?)

3) She took the bus because papa went skiing

4) Shes BY HERSELF because her partner decided to go skiing with papa

5) SHE HAS NO CELL PHONE

WTF?!

Honestly I think meryl was more fuious than I was bahahahahah. Cuz honestly like do you have no brain? Hes by herself in a city she doesn’t know, learning a language she doesnt know. BY HERSELF?

Ugh

So

Lauren we’re gonna adopt you J

Or at least bring you to eurodisney with us =D. WOOOO how amazing would that be? Wow. WOW. WWOOOOWW. Kay, I was counting down the days just before I starting typing. 65 days to go until I go hooommmeee. I miss home, I do. Sometimes I think this is gonna go faster than I think but then again, it feels like forever and is only been 2 weeks ok nvm 19 days. Yea, 19 days. That’s it. I’ve only missed 13 school days, 12 hours of dance, 3 shabbat dinners and a whole bunch of trips to timmies. Ahhhh timmies, how I miss you Tim Horton, how are you? “I shank you firmly by the hand” – Willy Wonka.

So, why so much skiing? Well I will show you. Because everything here is surrounded by HUGE mountains. Gynormous, is that not a word or did I just spell that horribly? And if it isn’t a word well then I OBJECT. Add I to the new dictionary – 2010 gynormous here you come. All thanks to me. How cool would that be, deciding on a word that should be added into the dictionary. WEBSTERS dictionary WOOOW, even Larousse. That would be huge. IMAGINE CREATING A GRAMMAR TENSE. OOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGG BRAIN BLAST.

I would create grammar tense “ve-que-tu-veux” – “what ever you want”

Rules – none

Exceptions – none

Purpose – none

Usage – All the time/whenever you want.

Lisa is a damn genius.

Who the HELL would think of that ehh? No one else. And even for those super lazy people, we’ll make an acronym – VQTV. Like a tv station. “Good after noon my name is John Smith and welcome to VQ TV giving you the most recent news” AWESOM.

Kay now im pushing it and im WAAAYYY off topic. Yesterday we had lots of fun, I hope Lauren did too, she was the man purpose of the trip J I had tons of fun. So much fun that once I got home I was DEAD. Literally, I was doing some word searches (thanks tam) and I literally fell asleep with the book on my face, in bed, with all my clothes on, and I literally had to force myself out of bed to get into pyjamas. I did though, didn’t sleep in my clothes don’t you worry J

Uhm what else, we ate “kebab” Which is really shawarma, psht. And then some hagen daaz ice cream J YUUUM. Second time I spent money and I was SOOOOOOOOO worth it. What kind of ice cream did I have – I had a scoop of Pralines & Cream and a scoop of Strawberry & Cream on top of a cookie which I didn’t finish with CHANTILLY (whipped cream) YYYYUUUUUMMMM

Don’t start with me ima – It was delicious and I would do it again if I could.

Then we just went walking around – almost had ourselves eating at mcdonalds K BIG mistake, big HUGE… have to go shopping now *walks away*

OKAY OKAY IM BACK

I know I wrote a lot but its been a while and im kinda bored here, waiting on the floor just to LEAVE and go home and get some internet. For all of you who are actually reading this whole thing well 6 points for you. No, you know what 7 points. I’m feeling generous today. WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY is that im typing this now at 12:54 (well it was probably 12:45 when I started) and its 7:54 AM in Canada. AND WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY IS (holly shit always off topic) IM WRITING THIS AHEAD OF TIME BUT WILL PROBABLY JUST POST IT UP LATER ON TODAY/TONIGHT.
