Dizzy up the girl

So I've been at home sick for a couple of days. I hate being sick and ever since I came to Ireland I've picked up more bugs than ever: ear bugs, eye bugs, fluish bugs and the most recent one is a tummy bug – I am starting to feel like a beehive (or something from Buffy). All these bugs makes me want to say something along the lines of “Screw you leprechauns, I’m going home”, but on the other hand, if you get a kick from eating antibiotics there's no place like Ireland.

Anyway, now that I am finally able to eat again without retur... eh... whatever, you get the point, I've got the worst headache ever and the world is spinning around me in loads of beautiful colours. Lovely. Oh well, at least now staring at the ceiling is a bit more interesting.

Bugs

I'm at work, feeling tired and fed up. Sara went home sick and I'm sick of people constantly shouting at me for various reasons. I mostly just want a beer right now. We'll probably go off to Deer Park, to Hannah and Ida's, leave Sara alone to get well and make fish soup and watch Grey's. Or maybe just beer... I'm so tired.

Hannah says soup, so soup it is, I guess.

Plans in the making

Today I almost fell asleep during a call - that's how boring router configurations are. And that is also the reason why there will be no Buffy tonight, instead I will trytrytry to go to bed early (no, not even I believe that it will actually happen).

Been to the gym and once again spent some quality time with the treadmill witch made me all happy and high. Nothing else makes a squirrel-soul happier than some meaningless running on the same spot (might I really be a hamster?)

As Kristina already said/wrote Amalie thinks that she's leaving us - that girl is totally deluded. It's not like we're going to let our one and only favorite Dane leave us?! So instead of being all sad and mope over her supposed leave, I’ve come up with a plan. I am yet to figure out the finer details, but at the moment what I need is:

• a piece of the Cake of Doom


• Rohypnol


• Handcuffs

Hey, this sound like it could be my kind of fun :D

And people! We have a brand new pixbox and also an e-mail if you just can't get enough.

'Tis a black day

Today Amalie handed in her resignation. She will move back to Denmark in a month. It's a hard blow against the whole mafia, but even more I think to us on Vicar since she's like our housepet. She spends almost as much time here as she does in her own home, or at least it feels that way to me. (Since she's sleeping in my bed.) She has a toothbrush here, her black dress is hanging over the back of my chair, her blue slippers are laying around on the kitchen floor and all of a sudden it feels so sad to see them there, so everyday, and soon gone. She's so much fun, and we'll all miss her so extremely much. I can't imagine that some new dane will come along and take the seat next to mine at work and be so wonderful, always ready to help, so smart and such a good friend.

She has promised to visit though, and I will visit her as well.

Tonight I'm making chicken with lemon and tarragon, mom's speciality, and Sara has been to the gym, and we're not gonna watch Buffy 'cause Sara's going to bed early so me and Maria are watching something else... And yeah, that sums it up I think. Yesterday we watched Buffy (we're almost through the second season! Only Becoming 1 & 2 left) and tomorrow we're gonna watch Grey's Anatomy and that sums up the week as well I think...

And oh yeah... We never watched the Oscars since they did'nt even air it! Were gonna download it though.

Oh Lord! Forgive me them Saturday nights

The reason why I haven't blogged today could be that I’ve been busy making American pancakes, talking about the eventful evening that was last night, watching Buffy and enjoying the beautiful sunshine. Or it might be that I've been too hung over to write anything before now and the sunshine wasn’t beautiful at all, but mostly annoying. Take a wild guess.

Yesterday was fun, though. Loads of fun, as far as I remember. Really, up until the part of the evening when Maria lead/carried/dragged me home, I had the most fun I've had in like... seven days! Regardless, next week will be a quiet one spent at home in front of the TV. With no whisky. And no wine. And no punch. And God, I hope my parents will never find this blog.

never drinking again?

It was just a week ago that I said so, laying on the couch, small and pathetic and more hung over than ever. But here I am again, more hung over than ever. Wow. I think that if I would have gone with the plan and stuck to whiskey I would proably not have become as crazy drunk as I was and not as crazy hung over today. But no, I had to go and drink vast amounts of that punch with all the vodka in it, and then I seemed to find a bottle of red wine somewhere... Bad.

I just woke up after a four hour afternoon nap, and I feel better now. It was really fun last night. Just a little bit to much fun maybe.

Today has been nice, chilling out, watchin tv, eating pancakes... Amalie just made cake and Saras making pasta, and we're gonna watch Buffy and then try to get a little bit of more sleep before the Oscars tonight! Yes, me and Sara are going to watch it. Defo.

The day after

It was a late night last night, and I didn't get that much sleep. When I got up I found Amalie in the kitchen, she was ready to go to Tesco to shop for our American Breakfast so I went with her. When we came back to the house we had to wait a couple of hours for some more people to wake up and so on. Hannah arrived and Sara woke up and we (well, the only thing i did was finding a recipe for it) could start making pancakes! They tasted great, so if you weren't here you really missed something, I promise. Hannah left a while ago, Kristina went to bed, Sara and Amalie are watching a movie and I'm in front of my computer, doing not much really. It feels like a typical Sunday... and it's soon Monday again.

Oh, one important thing to mention... It is sunny today!

Getting drunk

off chocolate milk with whiskey. Just finished putting henna in Saras hair and making my awesome bechamel (fortunately that's all I need to do today, the girls are taking care of the rest of the lasagna) and finally I get to sit down in the sofa with my drink. I'm tired today and not really in the mood for going to that birthday party, but it's in my old house. Nicolaj turned 20 a couple of days ago so it would be almost mean not to go. It feels like I've been living here for ages and in the old house only a couple of weeks, but I actually lived there for more than two months I think.

Soon I'm gonna try to become a bit pretty, but I'm having a bad face day today, or a bad day in general, or at least a couch potato day.

The Clash in our new speakers and the whiskey in my chocolate milk are getting my mood up a bit though. It's almost seven o'clock, time to get dressed soon maybe?

Shrek ain't got nothing on me

At the moment I'm a swamp thing with green goo in my hair. And I smell a bit like sheep.

After a hard day at work (eh... yeah, right) and some special time with the treadmill at the gym it is time to try and make myself beautiful - hence the smell of sheep. All the girls are doing their things, Kristina’s being making whisky and chocolate milk drinks (getting drunker by the minute) and Amalie’s is, as always, mocking me. My mission for tonight is to get revenge at the neighbors for playing bad music at 2 am - no one gets to have fun when I have to work! The Swedish Mafia has been reinforced with visitors to Hannah and Ida so we're all going to go to a birthday party and of course have extreme amounts of fun.

And tomorrow there will be American pancakes.

The joy of a Friday evening

Since Sara wrote about her and Kristina's evening, I will tell you about mine. I went home from work, a short visit at Tesco to buy something to eat, came home, had dinner and watched two episods of a tv-series, then I went to bed. I don't think I have gone to bed as early as 8 in a looong time... Maybe not the funniest evening, but it was well needed. After 11 hours of sleep, I woke up and went down to our living room to watch Ice Age 2, which is a hilarious movie! Now it's time for another movie until I find out what to do today.

This Business of Art

So. Kristina and I went to the opening of an art exhibition and drank loads of free wine. And that would be one of the best things about art exhibitions - drinking free wine and looking at the people looking at art. Of course, the art itself was also really good, since the artist showing of her work was the very talented and sweet Eva (lovely Irish girl). However, in the end there were two very drunk girls who could not take their eyes of all the alternative, converse-wearing, gorgeous girls (rather than the art).

And oh, a guy came up to me and said that I was beautiful. I freaked.

Now Kristina is getting Parkinson’s from eating the leftovers of yesterday’s cake. I really don't understand her.

(and by the way, a golden star will be rewarded to anyone who know where the title's from)

cake

Yesterday me and Amalie made the best food ever, carbonara witch kicked so much ass and chocolate cake that did to. Sara fell asleep in front of Transformers and slept through the noisiest eating of cake in a long time. Maria came home with Dave and made wierd pies. I will now share some recipes!

Carbonara

• tagliatelle
• rashers (or, if you don't live in Ireland, bacon.)
• mushrooms
• cream
• mozzarella
• egg
• salt and pepper

Cook pasta. Cut rashers into small peices and fry. Put in mushrooms after a little while. When thoroughly fried put in some cream, a little bit of mozzarella and salt and pepper. Serve with eggyolk and lots of grated mozzarella!

Chocolate cake of Doom!

• one pack of Tesco chocolate spongecake mix
• one bar of dark icing chocolate
• one jar of chocolate icing
• one egg
• some water

Make cakedough from cakemix, egg and water. Chop icing chokolate into small peices and stirr in. Put in a baking tin and put in the oven for 15 minutes. Take it out and let it cool and then put on the icing. Very simple, very good for pms. Put some pommegranade seeds on if you feel a bit fancy.

Tonight me and Sara are going to see Eva's art!

New blog!

The blog of 22 Vicar street, Cork. We are three swedish girls living together in a nice little house, working together in a nice big callcenter, cooking, watching Buffy and partying together and generally living the good life. Or, it has it good sides. Enjoy!
