[11:46:08 AM] Katie Symington: We will discuss it and you will find out! :D
[11:46:21 AM] Katie Symington: Anything you are going to do for a last hurrah before leaving Germany?
[11:47:01 AM] Troy Symington: Not really. We're both kinda dead. We might get a beer in a pub somewhere, but that'll probably be it. Plus we have to wake up early.
[11:47:20 AM] Katie Symington: how early?
[11:48:14 AM] Troy Symington: Only like 6:45, but still, that's actually the earliest I've had to wake up in a while...

[11:49:41 AM] Troy Symington: I know, right?
[11:49:58 AM] Troy Symington: Where are you right now?
[11:53:15 AM] Katie Symington: I'm at home, in PJ's, on the couch, heating up homemade veggie pizza!
[11:53:30 AM] Katie Symington: I made the dough, the sauce, cut up cheese and added lots of fresh yummy veggies! Deeeelicious!
[11:54:08 AM] Troy Symington: Sounds awesome! (I'm going to warn you ahead of time, Italy has turned me into quite the pizza snob).
[11:56:57 AM] Katie Symington: well, you will have to come over and try some and give me tips on how to make it better! :)
[11:57:10 AM] Katie Symington: My boss just called and I am covering someone's shift today in the afternoon, yippee
[11:57:40 AM] Troy Symington: Yaaaaaay...
[11:57:48 AM] Katie Symington: :)
[11:58:19 AM] Troy Symington: Ha, so what was with all of the kids being loud when I called you yesterday?
[11:58:58 AM] Katie Symington: OMG are they not annoying kiddos? They thought you were my boyfriend and that's why I was hissing at them that you were my brother. It was 7th and 8th grade.
[11:59:40 AM] Troy Symington: Gotcha. Those 8th graders can be pretty darn rebellious!
[12:00:03 PM] Katie Symington: exactly! and it was either make fun of me or work on their papers, so . . . ;)
[12:00:45 PM] Troy Symington: Ha, yeah. I remember 8th grade, we were pretty horrible to some of the teachers! I am soooo sorry!
[12:01:00 PM] Katie Symington: yoy should be!!!!
[12:01:06 PM] Katie Symington: *you
[12:01:25 PM] Troy Symington: Hehe.
[12:01:32 PM] Katie Symington: So I watched Emma the other day and had to stop by the library to get Emma again and reread it, it was so awesome
[12:02:38 PM] Troy Symington: At the british library we saw Jane Austin's notebooks...
[12:02:49 PM] Katie Symington: oooooooooooooooooooh!!!
[12:03:03 PM] Troy Symington: And looooots of other cool stuff!
[12:03:09 PM] Katie Symington: sweeeet!
[12:03:20 PM] Troy Symington: I know, right?
[12:05:23 PM] Katie Symington: what else stuff?
[12:05:31 PM] Katie Symington: and how is your hostel?
[12:06:44 PM] Troy Symington: The British Library had the Magna Carta, original Beatles lyrics, famous science works, original compositions by guys like Mozart and Handel, the original copy of the New Testament, stuff like that.
[12:07:00 PM] Katie Symington: whoa
[12:07:28 PM] Troy Symington: The hostel room is pretty standard. Bunch of bunk beds and a community bathroom. But they have the best breakfast here that I've ever had at a hostel! which is awesome!
[12:08:32 PM] Katie Symington: wow, what was for breakfast?
[12:09:24 PM] Troy Symington: Ham, salami, hard boiled eggs. Rolls, sliced tomatoes and cucumber, yogurt, coffe, juice!
[12:10:00 PM] Katie Symington: om. nom. nom. NOM.
[12:11:04 PM] Troy Symington: Heck yes! Normally whenever a hostel includes breakfast it's only toast and cereal and coffe! So to have a breakfast like this is reeeeaaaally awesome!
[12:11:13 PM] Katie Symington: sweeet
[12:11:24 PM] Katie Symington: I had half a bagel and half a grapefruit for breakfast, it was nummy
[12:12:36 PM] Troy Symington: Very nice!
[12:13:05 PM] Katie Symington: omnomnom
[12:13:12 PM] Katie Symington: I'm listening to parachute, I like them
[12:13:39 PM] Troy Symington: Never really listened to them. I'm listening to Periphery, I like them.
[12:14:06 PM] Katie Symington: periphery? I will have to look them up.
[12:14:49 PM] Troy Symington: You probably wouldn't like them all that much. They're kinda rock/metal/mathcore.
[12:15:23 PM] Katie Symington: ...mathcore? ..... PIE! GOLDEN SPIRAL! RATIOS! ...i'm out.
[12:16:10 PM] Troy Symington: I cannot believe a sister of mine just used the wrong kind of pie...
[12:16:27 PM] Katie Symington: CRAP.
[12:16:29 PM] Katie Symington: I meant to do that.
[12:16:38 PM] Katie Symington: shhh, don't tell Nick.
[12:17:08 PM] Katie Symington: just told Nick.
[12:17:45 PM] Troy Symington: Ha, also, golden spirals are just spirals that go by the Phi ratio, so to say "ratios" after is kinda redundant...
[12:17:57 PM] Katie Symington: ....arrrgh.
[12:18:05 PM] Katie Symington: am not a math major. or a math fan. HATE MATH.
[12:18:11 PM] Troy Symington: :D
[12:18:21 PM] Katie Symington: so what is mathcore?
[12:20:01 PM] Troy Symington: Imagine the genres metal or hardcore or post-hardcore or something like that. Then add really weird, constantly changing time signatures and polyrhythms (playing different time signatures on top of one another).
[12:20:22 PM] Katie Symington: aah. interesting.
[12:20:28 PM] Katie Symington: duran duran is listening to now
[12:20:39 PM] Troy Symington: ...
[12:21:14 PM] Katie Symington: I am listening to duran duran now. english. is hard.
[12:22:04 PM] Troy Symington: Naw, German is hard (I don't like not knowing ANY of the language)!
[12:22:40 PM] Katie Symington: poooor boy. do they speak english well?
[12:23:43 PM] Troy Symington: Depends on where you go. It's not a very touristy city, but pretty much everybody can speak english enough for us to get by.
[12:25:20 PM] Katie Symington: bueno
[12:25:23 PM] Katie Symington: will you get to your flight okay?
[12:26:26 PM] Troy Symington: Yeah, I talked to the hostel people about it. It's a pretty short ride on the subway and it takes us directly to the airport.
[12:26:42 PM] Katie Symington: where they will speak enough english to get you to the right terminal and all
[12:27:59 PM] Troy Symington: Oh yeah, everyone will speak English really well at the airport.
[12:28:11 PM] Katie Symington: bueno
[12:28:36 PM] Troy Symington: molto bene!
[12:29:01 PM] Katie Symington: tres bien!
[12:29:26 PM] Troy Symington: Awesome sauce!
[12:30:04 PM] Katie Symington: ery-vay ood-gay
[12:30:27 PM] Troy Symington: I don't think that one really counts as a language...
[12:31:38 PM] Katie Symington: moreso than "awesome sauce"
[12:34:07 PM] Troy Symington: "Awesome sauce" means "very good" in the little known awesomian language.
[12:34:21 PM] Katie Symington: pshaw
[12:34:43 PM] Katie Symington: that means "I don't believe you" in the little known pshawian language
[12:36:15 PM] Troy Symington: Pbbbbbtttttthhhh! That means "Pbbbbbbbttttthhhhh" In the little known Pbbbbtttttthhhhh language!
[12:36:23 PM] Katie Symington: CRAZY SAUCE!
[12:36:36 PM] Troy Symington: What did you call me?
[12:37:14 PM] Katie Symington: CRAAAAAAAAAAAAZY SAUCE!
[12:37:26 PM] Katie Symington: I'm pretty sure it means you are crazy.
[12:37:30 PM] Katie Symington: in sauce language
[12:37:43 PM] Troy Symington: I don't think you realize what an insult that is in sauce language!
[12:38:00 PM] Katie Symington: I bite my thumb at you, sir!
[12:38:08 PM] Katie Symington: In thumb-biting language!
[12:38:25 PM] Troy Symington: Do you bite your thumb at me sir?
[12:39:11 PM] Troy Symington: Ha, we went to the globe theater in London and got to see them rehearsing for Much Ado about Nothing which opens next week!
[12:39:43 PM] Katie Symington: Sweeet!
[12:39:50 PM] Katie Symington: Did they bite thumbs?
[12:40:01 PM] Troy Symington: Wrong play...
[12:40:26 PM] Katie Symington: o
[12:40:57 PM] Troy Symington: The "do you bite your thumb at me sir?" is from Romeo and Juliet.
[12:41:30 PM] Katie Symington: oops
[12:41:47 PM] Katie Symington: WHATEVER, MORE CULTURED BROTHER O' MINE. TRAVEL AND KNOW PLAYS AND BE MATH-AWARE, WHATEVER.
[12:42:55 PM] Troy Symington: WELL IF YOU ACTUALLY REMEBERED WHAT YOU LEARNED IN SCHOOL! I MEAN, YOU TOOK AP ENGLISH! YOU SHOULD NO SHAKESPEAREIAN PLAYS!
[12:43:14 PM] Katie Symington: NO? NO? WHEREFORE ART THOU "KNOW"???
[12:44:14 PM] Troy Symington: Hey, you can't make fun of me after misspelling pi and not knowing what "do you bite your thumb at me sir" was from!
[12:44:37 PM] Katie Symington: can too.
[12:44:46 PM] Troy Symington: Nope.
