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 secret is out

I know who Sara dated, because I had a breakfast date in town with the very same person this morning! And later tonight we watched movies together, and had doughnuts and hot chocolate... Not so intimate and romantic though, we had company. (Guiltridden company.)

Last night I wasn't very nerdy either actually. Hannah convinced me to go out for one quiet beer, but that was far from the truth. Drunken adventures at the Crane Lane, including the line "Do you come here often?", the line "I like your back. It is perfect.", "Are you a local gal?", "do you live here in Galway?" and on top of that some guy tried to lick my arm. Not very pleasant. And lots more of course. The night ended at an "afterparty" with only goal being that Hannah wanted to make out with some random guy named Steve. (Reported from his kitchen this morning in my own blog.)

Right now I'm waiting for someone special to log on to msn. But maybe I'll just go to bed.

Weekend tripping

We have gotten loads of hatemail from angry fans for not writing about this weekend. So I will. It was kinda slow. Sara was home, me and Maria had a few beers thursday and friday, saturday we stayed in and ate food that wasn't very good, but would have been if we had a better oven. We all went to bed early and woke up early the next morning to go to Limerick. The bustrip was almost two hours, and we arrived in a sunny Limerick where we took a cab out to a mall and had a shopping orgy. Then we went back home.

Personally I bought:

• pj's
• a kimono
• a fancy jacket (all very cheap!)
• socks
• a necklace and a bracelet
• lipgloss
• shoes

Oh, the shoes. Beautiful beautiful shoes. Sara left earlier and then she realized that she did'nt have her keys with her. The rest of us went to see Be Kind Rewind, had some chinese and then we went home. Sara spent her time waiting for us watching the same movie.

So that's our weekend... And personally I had a date on monday night, with a very nice fellow called James. We had quite a lot of beer, a little bit of rum and a very good time. And we're going to see the Sultans of Ping on saturday. Romantic, huh?

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.
