A winner is you!




Don't worry, I didn't forget about you. You did all the work...now it's time for your reward.

The first ever This Contest is Crap(#1) has officially come to a close. I had a lot of fun going through the answers and it was really tough deciding a winner. So, because this is my blog and I can do what I want, I've decided that everyone who played is a winner. That's right... you all get to go out on a big group date with Schmidt!!!! Surprise, bitchesssss!!!!!!

I'm only half kidding.

Everyone who played is really getting a prize. Because I'm fantastical like that. Also because a reasonable amount of people played, which makes such an action possible. You are all just not winning the same stuff.

So, I'm sure you're all curious as to who wins what and et cetera.

(Click Below for More)


The Date with Schmidt:

This one was tough, because even though a fair number of hot hot females played, most of them were more interested in a big box of random stuff than in dating my roommate (shame on you). I forgive them, though, because most of them also live on a completely different continent.

However, I would like to extend an invitation to Biancadonk to go on a date with my roommate. I would also like to add (on Schmidt's behalf) that this offer is not only good in Hamburg (should you choose to fly over), but also in Los Angeles or OKC (we're planning a field trip to the homeland in the somewhat nearish future). So, basically if the two of you happen to be in the same city at the same time. He will escort you to dinner. He also said that it would be like a real dinner and not IKEA food -- unless you want IKEA food, that is. Additionally, you'll get a "thanks for playing prize" from me in the mail. That way you have something to keep you warm at night. Huzzah!

Box of Random Stuff:

The Grand Prize Box of Random Stuff goes to Dawn Z(ed) from Canada. I vaguely knew of Dawn from Cupcake's blog. Turns out, she's really been paying attention, people. I don't know how (or why...because seriously, I do write a bunch of nonsense) but she has soaked it all up like a sponge. I know I said that there weren't a whole lot of "right" answers...but damn if she didn't answer a whole lot of those questions correctly. Also, she wrote some very flattering stuff about me and bribed me with a box of random stuff in return. That's how you win, folks.

People who are gonna get something random from me in the mail, just for playing:

Supa D
Cupcake
Dr.U.G.
MissFee
Gillian
Tunde

Lastly, it's not quite as cool as a date with my roommate, but the dual-winners of the "Mr. Congeniality" Prize (which is an IKEA hot dog dinner with me and all the free refills you can drink FOR FREE) are:

Toby
Buche (who I mostly just want to piss off by calling him Mr. Congeniality -- as he really hates Sandra Bullock (for reasons that really only he knows) and this my version of sweet, sweet justice)

Anyway, on the whole this contest was pretty crappy. But very fun for me. I'm gonna start a new contest in maybe a week or so. The prize will be much smaller, but the rules more clear and it will have nothing to do with dating my roommate. Equally fun, I hope. Oh, also, I'll be hitting up the winners via email so I can get your sweet, juicy contact information (if I don't have it already).

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday.  Mr. S: Ok. (Ac

The One Who Got Away (Part 5)

Pro tip: Don't estimate the amount of time it will take to review your citizenship application based on the amount of time it took to get the results of your citizenship test. So far, this has been the area of the German-side of the process that ran a little closer to my bureaucratic expectations, namely, if an official expresses a length of time -- e.g. 3-6 months -- things will start moving closer to the six month mark than the three month mark. Getting down to the wire, I was (and still am) slightly concerned that this would drag on and I would have to renew my U.S. passport first, since it's getting kinda close to the point where it's only valid for six months. This would have cost me 1.) more money 2.) plus a trip to a consulate that actually does shit for U.S. citizens 3.) money and time off work for a trip to Bremen, Berlin, or Frankfurt. As luck would have it, I finally received notification that the Germans are letting me in! The full term is that they are
