1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from? dad’s side: germany, yugoslavia. mom’s side: poland, italy
2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit? germany. big time.
3. Which would you least like to visit? Why? yugoslavia… it sorta doesn’t exist anymore lol. my grandma was still german, just born in yugoslavia or something. so it doesn’t count.
4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage? not really. my dad’s sister makes this gross german cake for christmas every year…and i don’t eat it. and then we were going to do the annual christmas shot of jager in honor of their father (my grandfather) who died within the last few years (i forget when)…but i think we skipped last christmas…
5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)? my dad. he’s an immigrant. he was born in germany, near the border of east and west germany. his family came over here when he was 4. my grandpa had been over before WWII but went back to germany during the depression, and was drafted into Hitler’s army…i just found out yesterday that my aunt had been in an orphanege. my grandma was trying to escape from yugoslavia with my aunt, who was 2, and she was pregnant with my other aunt. apparently, my grandma had to go into the hospital along the way, and gave my aunt to some family member to take care of. while she was in the hospital the russians came and took over half the town – and just like a movie, my grandma was on the non occupied side of town. so when she had my aunt, and got out of the hospital she would go ask the russians to let her get her other child and they kept saying no. finally they said yes, so my grandma ran up some big hill with the stroller to the family’s house. they told her they didn’t think she was coming back, so they gave my aunt to an orphanege. so then my grandma had to find the orphanege. when she did, my aunt didn’t remember who she was and didn’t want to go with her – but my grandma made her haha. interesting eh?

anyway. i feel kinda blah today. it’s too hot. i slept but not very good. i talked to joe last night after i got back from danielle’s. haven’t talked to him in forever so that was cool. he has a photo for me of a guitar in the toronto skydome hard rock cafe signed by trent AND bowie hehe.

i work til close tonight. and i have this large feeling i’m going to be the one to actually have to stay until 1am. the girl in charge tonight is coming in 3 hours early for her shift, so she should be the first to leave. then of me and new kid, they’ll probably make me stay to close. i’m kinda torn about whether i want to stay til close or not…i might want to go to the bar again after work…if they let me leave early i’m not about to drive back to the falls to go to the bar. but i hate staying til 1, and that means walking by myself at night in the falls….ug. stupid later closing shifts on weekends. maybe i can argue that the new kid needs another day training on close and i can make him stay with me lol.

i hate my self imposed rules to not mention names of people i’m not good friends with on my blog anymore. you know how confusing it is. i’m sure you do, if you read this at all lol. i should make up code names or something.

the weather report is funny. high 83, currently 86. cold front moving in. yeah. feels so cold. and tomorrow is supposed to be 83 too. yeah. cold front.
