audience participation night II
Welcome to audience participation night here at Brainxplosion.
Nicole had some questions for me, so here we go:
1. How did you meet your husband?
I was in Calilfornia as an AuPair. One of the few friends I did have over here talked me into going to her youth group's Christmas party. I reluctantly agreed. When we arrived, she was nice enough to introduce me to everyone waiting for the boat to dock saying "This is my friend Sonja. She's from Germany." which of course is the same as saying "You must now stare at her and ask polite, complicated questions aimed to make her feel included. In short, your behavior must make her writhe in silent agony." After that announcement, D. came up to me and spoke German to me. Lemme tell ya - wanna win over a foreigner? Speak their language! (After all, look where it got D.!)
There is some argument as to who took whose hand first, but since I'm telling the story, you're getting the truth: Me! I grabbed his hand sometime on the ship, AND I gave him my number. Six days later, D. proposed, which of course freaked me right out of my little mind. And yet, we got engaged six weeks after we met, and by the time we got married, we had only dated for nine months, five of which were spent on separate continents. What can I say? It worked for us!
2. Do you like sauerbratten? Respond in German, bitte.
Sauerbraten ist ganz okay. I esse eigntlich nicht so gerne Fleisch, deshalb ist es nicht eines meiner Lieblingsgerichte.
Let me know if you were joking about the "respond in German" part and I'll gladly translate.
3. Bried, bikini, thong, none, or other?
I do like brie cheese, but I'm assuming you meant to type "brief." Hmmm. The correct answer is bikini, esp. from Body Gap. I've tried the thong thang, but I prefer to floss my teeth, ya know what I'm sayin'?
A warm round of applause to Nicole, who was forthcoming with her (excellent) questions. Now it's your turn! Ask me anything, even the good old "fold or wad," and I'll be happy to write about it!
