Story like!?!?

We do not write enough nowadays! Stuff has been going on around here like you wouldnt beleive it. Sara has been gone for six weeks, and instead we had Viola living here, and then Johan as well, in the living room. And Olof a whole lot in Marias room... And every now and then... other guests. Viola and Johan became good friends and decided they wanted to keep living together, and they do, right around the corner! (Across the street from Tom Barrys... Makes me kinda want to call them and tell them to come down for one... But I'm way to tired.)

Also I forgot to do all the important stuff I was gonna do today. I ate pizza... And then my brain turned off. Anyways!

They moved out just a few days ago and Sara is back inna da house! Work is really different, Nicolai (commonly reffered to as "Pornboy") moved back to Denmark, Viola and Johan are there, Sara left and came back, Liz was moved and Marta sits over with us instead... The mood is high at work, especially after Sweden won their first game! Keep this up and we will all be hysterical all the time. I'm helping Björn from socs out with routercalls... That he's helping us with. (He knows danish. We have no danish agent.)

And even higher since we got monopoly on our computers! Thank you norwegian nerd! Now we can't focus at all... And we hate eachother intensely. So much funsies.

Pretty soon we will be even more people in here, Amalie, our most beloved Danish girl comes here in just a couple of weeks! And Jojo, Sara's sweetheart asian babe, is going to live for a couple of weeks in 22 Vicar as well! Popular house this... Our list of telephone numbers to familymembers that we have on the fridge in case of emergency is just gonna keep growing I guess... I like it.

Now it's pretty late and I'm doing some dishes, after that it's either straight to bed or maybe some Angel and ice cream... We'll see what Maria says.

xoxoxo

Calm before the storm

I am quite tired, but still planning to do the dishes before I give up and retire to my chambers. So yeah, to sum up the week, I have been spending a lot of time thinking about a certain guy who is back in London, working a lot 'cause he has a new job at a cocktailbar in Notting Hill. Met Eva on tuesday for one at Tom Barry's. We had the bbq on wednesday, as mentioned, wich was so very good. On thursday Daniel attacked us with pleasant company and wonderful food. And today was possibly the slowest workday ever, after wich I met up with Ida, Daniel, Liz and... a guy who I can't remember the name of for one at Shelbourne. Then me and Daniel met Hannah and we ate nachos and watched Tarzan, the Disney one, which was amazingly awful. So filled with clichés I wanted to cry. So retardedly ridiculous I wanted to cry even more. Every song in the film was recorded by Phil Collins, which was mostly just painful, and it was lousily drawn. The voiceacting of Minnie Driver was the only good thing about it. After that Hannah went home and me and Daniel watched Matchstick Men, to wich he fell asleep. He went home too and I kept watching, and it left me in a really strange mood.

And yes, that is the calm before the storm. A couple of intense weeks lie ahead. Tomorrow, or yeah, it's saturday by now, I will tidy up my room, bring some lunch to Ida, who is working (something I definitely should have done for Sara yes!), dye Saras hair, eat dinner with Sara and Maria and do a killer makeup for Maria for the kickass party we're having. And last but not least, make Sara's hair curlier that physically possible. And yeah, then there's the party. No sorry, I ment The Party. Yes.

Eight o' clock the next morning Afrika / Johan arrives, and I will be a sleepy commitee, welcoming him to the emerald isle. I hope it shows him it's best side, with sunshine and flowers and goodness instead of rain and beggars and trash all over town since it's sunday morning. A wee bit later we're having an american breakfast at Hannah and Ida's, and later possibly going to LadyFest. On monday Johan starts his new job and The Holy Mother arrives! Mine, in other words! I am a bit tense over this, I admit. With her travels Robin. I am not so tense about meeting Robin, only happy. Yes, I am absolutely fantastically happy about meeting my Mother as well, and I know she will be happy to see me and my new life but there is still the anxiety. What if I missed something. What if she turns up and says "Oh no honey. You got it all wrong." And then she points out something that is horribly horribly wrong. Such as... My house, or my clothes, or... anything in my brand new life. Wich she does'nt really know so much about. So I am slightly nervous. Most happy though. I can still think as a normal person, sometimes, and I know there will be load of happiness bestowed onto me, joy and flowery goodness of puppies. Mommy!

The day after that Sara goes to Sweden, to be gone and lost for almost six weeks. We shall terrorize her with questions of routers over msn all days so that she realizes how much she loves them, gives up her silly thoughts of finishing medschool and comes back for good. Ida leaves to, if only for a week. It will be a hard blow on all of us, to loose the two fiercest and dominating girls of the team on the same day... ;) 'Cause we love 'em.

The week with mom and Robin will be action packed and adventurous, filled with ...stuff, like a dolphin maybe, and other wild beasts, and maybe some beer, a choir festival, and Bealtane.

They leave on the fourth, the same day as Viola arrives. She starts work on the fifth and will be living with us when Sara's gone.

Shiver me timbers. Or something. I won't hardly be able to think during the next cople of weeks.

The rain passed by

Yesterday I got a comment that I don't write here often enough, so I will try to be better with that from now on. As Kristina wrote, we had our team dinner last night, we were almost 20 people. It was fun and food was good. We had beer at Shelbourne before and after the dinner (and yes, I had beer too, I think I really will learn to like it. Believe me, I've had doubts about it). The truth to be told, I was really tired and wanted to go home quite early. In the end, me, Kristina and Amalie went home at the same time. Although I was tired, I watched an episode of L Word before I went to bed, and now I have to bribe Sara to get some more episodes I think.

It's been a good week, the days pass by really quick and suddenly it's Saturday again. Not that I'm complaining... It was raining when I woke up, but it has stopped now. I'm planning to go into town for a bit of shopping, but first I will try to get out of bed and get some breakfast.

Update a few minutes later: Just because I wrote that it had stopped raining, it started again! Stupid me...

The story of Maria and the beers

Thursday and Friday we have been out and drinking beer, I have been drinking beer! I have probably been drinking more beer since I came here than I have in my whole life. For you who don't know about me and beer, the thing is... I don't like beer. But I guess that if I continue drinking beer every now and again, I will start like it or something. Last night I had a Guinness, which, according to my brother's girlfriend, is something I had to do before I'm allowed to come home.
Speaking of things that I don't like but that I want to learn to like, I need to learn to drink coffee too. That is next on my list... (Yes, I have loads of lists, because I'm Swedish!)

Yesterday was payday, and tomorrow is shopping day and we're going to H&M in Limerick. Today might be shopping day too, since I need some bits and bobs and it's lovely weather outside, and what can be better than go into town and buy some stuff?
