The yearly huge Midsummer-celebration just passed in Sweden. Friday was midsummer-night and saturday was midsummer-day. Midsummer includes many traditions - such as dance, songs and activities - but for people in my generation the main event is partying!
I arrived to the coastal city Grebbestad friday night with some friends, where we met up with our mutual friends. Our friends had already set up the tent and our little camp-ground, and was ready to start drinking and just having a good time. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that good, and we even got some rain, so we hurried to citycenter to get something to eat, meet up with more people, get a few drinks and perhaps go dancing some.. The night was fantastic! We had such an awesome time. Some of the words to describe the night could be: drinks, delicious food, scandinavian clash (swedish, norwegian and danish), puke, laughter, hugs, love.
Saturday we woke up around 11:00 in the morning, had the first drink/beer around 11:02, which really set the tone of the day. We basically drank non-stop for 15 hours. The day was spent by laying around in the sun, talking, laughing and just relaxing from the previous night. We went to dinner, was thrown out of the restaurant after singing a danish drinking-song loudly to/"with" some other guest, went to a club, went to a tavern/bar and then back to the club where they wouldn't let some of our group in because they were too drunk, continued to a different restaurant/bar and I ended up going back to the camp with my drunk friend - he definitely needed some support to make it there, lol. When we came back to the camp my throat suddenly started to itch and get swollen. The rest of my body started itching, and suddenly it got harder to breath... My favorite Sweed called the hospital and explained the situation, and was adviced to go see a doctor as soon as possible because it made breathing hard for me. As neither of us couldn't possibly drive a car even if we tried I had to pay a taxi back and forth, but it was all worth it - of course. When I arrived the doctor checked me out - asked me what I had eaten/been drinking, listened to my lungs, looked down my throat - and ended up giving me 17 pills!! Luckily they worked, I got some pills to go, and returned to camp. The massive dose of pills made me sleep hardcore. Some words to describe the day: sun, smiles, music, dance, drinks, shots, the emergency room, tent and the danish word "hygge"!
Sunday we slept in, started packing all of our stuff, cleaning the ground we'd been on, and was picked up and driven back to Ed. In Ed we drove Rebecca to the train-station and she went back to Denmark. Desiree, Richard and John went with me home, we had some food, sat on a blanket on the grass, talked about the weekend and relaxed. Afterwards I watched a movie with my friend Rasmus.
So in short: Midsummer was celebrated in style, with laughter, smiles and the awesome people I love.
Hope all of you out there enjoyed your weekend!

Snart farvel..
Så skete det.. Jeg har sagt min lejlighed i Ed op!
Hvor skal jeg hen?
Det ved jeg ikke.
Hvad skal jeg lave?
Ingen idé.
Hvornår?
Aner det ikke.
Hvorfor?
Fordi det er tid til at komme videre. På trods af at jeg elsker at være her i Ed, og er faldet så godt til, så ved jeg at tiden er kommet til at jeg skal videre i livet. Jeg skal have fundet en by, en lejlighed, et job, et studie, måske en sambo. Der er så meget derude der venter på mig, og nu er det blevet tid til at finde det.
Al mulig kærlighed til Desirée, Rasmus, Richard, John, Kim, Pierre, Petra, Camilla og alle andre jeg omgås i lille, dejlige Ed.

Grebbestad
Tog til kyst-byen Grebbestad med Desirée, Richard, Camilla og hendes to søde unger Maja & Sune :-)
Vi spiste lækker frokost, is, legede på legeplads, klatrede på et bjerg og gik langs havnen..
Se de hyggelige billeder!

Florida
Hej allesammen!
Så er det vidst efterhånden på tide at opdatere min blog. Jeg er efterhånden blevet virkelig langsom til at opdatere folket derude i cyberspace, men nu er det altså på tide :-)
Siden sidst har jeg været et smut forbi Danmark, for at tage videre på ferie i Florida, og derefter hjem til Sverige igen. To uger smækfyldt med en masse fantastiske oplevelser!
Onsdag tog jeg togturen til Danmark, blev hentet af min storebror på Nyborg station og vendte snuden hjem mod det sydfynske. Omkring spisetid mødtes jeg med mine yndlings IB-tøser i Svendborg til middag - eller dvs. næsten alle, da der var nogle stykker der ikke kunne nå frem. Men uanset var det så dejligt at se tøserne igen, og få vendt verdens-situationen. Om ikke alle andres verden, så i det mindste vores hver især :-) Heldigvis går det os alle rigtig godt, og som altid løb tiden afsted med snak, historier og grin. Sikke skønne damer <3 Efter vores middag kørte jeg et smut forbi min veninde Signe, og derefter forbi min veninde Freja. Da jeg endelig nåede hjem til mine forældre var der kun 4 timer til vi skulle køre afsted mod lufthavnen..
Den følgende dags tid gik med den alt for lange rejse over atlanten, og efter hvad der føles som evigheder i himlen nåede vi frem til Miami. Pludselig var graderne ganget med 3, sproget skiftet ud og oplevelserne begyndt!
Efter Miami stod turen på følgende:
Cocoa Beach: Kennedy Space Center, hvor vi bla. fandt ud af, at der den kommende mandag ville være opsendelse af en rumraket.
Orlando: Søndagen gik hele dagen i Seaworld og fejringen af min mors fødselsdag. Mandagen stod på opsendelse af rumraket, hvor jeg blev interviewet til aftenens nyheder på amerikanske Channel 5, og derefter shopping i et lækkert center.
Tampa/St. Petersburg: Her stod dagene på sightseeing, bla. på The Pier med pelikaner og delfiner.
Sarasota: Her stod dagene igen på sightseeing, lækker mad og en tur på stranden.
Fort Myers Beach: Her boede vi på den fineste, dejlige sommer-ø kaldet Sanibel. Her stod dagene på strand- og poolture, en cykeltur rundt på øen, hygge på balkonen og smukke solnedgange om aftenen.
Everglades: Everglader er lig med dyreliv og alligators! Vi kørte rundt i et stort område af parken og fik set alligators, holdt en baby-alligator, sejlet i larmende air-boat omringet af brunt og mudret alligator-vand, stukket af en masse myg, spist alligator og vandret rundt i de tropiske jungle-lignende områder.
Key Largo: Her stod den på en ren og skær afslappende aften med lækker seafood og glade mennesker.
Key West: Den smukkeste stribe af små øer, broer, strande, hoppende delfiner, pelikaner i luften, blåt vand, fiskerbåde, familier langs vandkanten og alt andet man forbinder med sommer og glade dage! Turen derned er en oplevelse i sig selv, men selve Key West rummer mindst ligeså mange fine ting. Der en en spansk/sydamerikansk vibe, der er fest og glade dage i de mange fine smalle gader og ikke mindst på hovedgaden Duval Street. Key West rummer Hemingways hus og yndlingsbar og det sydligste punkt af USA's fastland. Der er en surfer-kultur og masser af vandsport for alle, der ligesom mig selv, elsker det blå havvand :-D
Miami: Sidstedagen foregik i Miami, og med en familien Vindel fuldstændig mættet af oplevelser. Det eneste vi kunne overskue var en omgang på negle-salon, en tur i poolen og et smut på en lækker restaurant. Dagen efter gik turen atter engang til lufthavnen og den laaaaange tur hjemad kunne begynde...

L O V E
This past week has been so cool. I was in Copenhagen Wednesday & Thursday, saw Jeff Dunham live, went to some bars with old friends and had the best time. I went back to Sweden Thursday night and left for Norway on Saturday! It was so much fun. Desirée and I hopped on the train and her mom picked us up in Fredrikstad. We went around town, I met her family and then we went to a party, to a club and then back to the party. Saturday we went to her sisters birthday and then returned to Sweden. Monday night my two friends from Denmark came, and they've just left. We went on a picnic in the forest by a lake, visited my job, had a BBQ, played games in the sun, had a small party and got wayyy drunk, had a series-marathon and ate yummy thai-food. Basically we just chilled out the entire weekend. It was so amazing seeing them again =)

BBQ-PREMIERE!
Today I had a BBQ for the first time this year! The day started by sleeping in, then I did some cleaning and other practical stuff (read: crap), and then my swedish friend Richard came over. We were both off work today and decided to hang out all day. The Sweed got the awesome idea that we should have a BBQ 'cause of the nice weather. The sun was shining and the snow is almost gone! Lovely! We went shopping, invited a few people and started cookin'! =) At 17:00 two of our friends had their 1hour break at work, and 2 other friends got off work. They all came over, and we ate early since 2 of them only had an hour. It was so fun, and the food was delicious! :-) After the unlucky ones went back to work the rest of us decided to watch a Norwegian movie. So basically it was "Scandinavian Night" in my apartment; we watched a Norwegian movie with Swedish subtitles - and "we" covers one Norwegian, one sweed and two danish people. Oh yes, how I love me some Scandinavia! I thank them all for a great day! Wouldn't have missed it for a thing! <3

Living on my own
Alrighty, so today was the day Rebecca moved out of my apartment in Sweden. Her parents came late last night. They packed all her stuff today and drove to Copenhagen around noon. It wasn't a sad goodbye with tears or anything, because we know that we've both got awesomeness in store for us. Life is awesome. We'll see each other on the 13th in Copenhagen, so it's not like we wont ever see each other again. And besides, I still have all my amazing friends here in Ed, Sweden =)
So even though it's a sad day, I'm in such a good mood. I don't know what it is these days, but nothing's gonna shoot down my amazing mood!
Adiós amigos <3

Kagemand!
Ok, so this may seem sorta random..
While my parents were in Sweden I made my mum bake this amazing "kagemand" (directly translated it means Cakeman). "Kagemand" is a special cake we always get for childrens birthday-parties. It's decorated with candy to look like a girl if it's a girls birthday and as a boy if it's a boys birthday. My mum baked the cake and I decorated it with hair, eyes, nose and mouth. I drove to work and served this danish treat to all of the poor people working during the weekend. =)
Yummy!

Lørdags-hygge
Sidder i sofaen og lørdags-hygger med mine forældre :-)
De er på besøg hos mig i Sverige. Dejligt med lidt dansk selskab. I går stod dagen på Ikea-tur, og hyggelig middag. Derefter blev mine forældre introduceret til mine to yndlings-svenskere og min elskede nordmand! Så tog vi unge, smukke mennesker videre til fest, og jeg kom hjem kl 04 i nat. I dag har vi bare haft hjemme-dag. Min mor har bagt kagemand som var til stor glæde på mit arbejde! Alle danskerne lyste op da de så en dansk kagemand pyntet med hår, øjne, næse og mund =) I dag spiste vi på byens thai-restaurant med Rebecca og Norsken. Nu hygger vi med TV og bland-selv slik.
I morgen kører de hjem til Danmark, og jeg skal have vasket tøj. Tirsdag er det tilbage på arbejdet, onsdag kommer Rebeccas forældre og torsdag flytter hun til København. Update kommer snart :-)

A Piece Of Home
My dear parents are coming to Sweden on Wednesday. My dad has some work to do in one of Swedens large cities called Göteborg (Gothenburg) on wednesday, and my Mom is gonna tag along. They're gonna spend the night in Göteborg, and then they'll drive to Ed and visit me on Thursday! They're staying until Sunday. I'm really looking forward to seeing them, I haven't seen my mom since January and I haven't seen my dad since the beginning of November. We're just gonna hang out in my apartment, drive around in town, going shopping in Ikea in the city called Karlstad. It'll be fun :-)
When they're leaving Sunday they're gonna bring some of Rebeccas stuff back to Denmark. She's moving out next week. She's gotten an apartment and a job in Copenhagen. I'll miss her here in Sweden, but honestly I'd rather be in Copenhagen than Ed as well ;-) I'm visiting her the second week of May when I'm going to Copenhagen to see the comedian Jeff Dunham with a friend of mine. Cannot wait =)
I'll you update again soon!

2011 Adventures
Woah, it's been a while since I've updated the blogspot-world. Loads of things has happened since the last time I took the time to write on here. Maybe I should try paying more attention to the blogging-world and keep you updates? Anyways, here come the update of the week (perhaps of the month, lol)!
Last time I wrote I had just landed in Oklahoma, USA. I spent 9 days there, visiting friends and families. Not much had changed, so it felt like being right back in the olden days. Well besides the fact that almost everyone moved away from Chickasha. Luckily I got to see some of those who still live there. I spent 3 days in Lawton with my amazing "sister" Kelsey, her hubby, baby-Cal and cool-kid Shelby :-) We had loads of fun!! I really enjoyed staying with them. I also spent a night in Norman with Amelia. We met up with my awesome friend Jordan, but unfortunately we didn't have much time to hang out. Busy, busy people!! I'm just happy I got to get a hug and a chat while I was there :-)
Friday the 18th I flew to New York to visit Jen and Melissa. Jen goes to Stonybrook University on Long Island, and Melissa lives on Rhode Island. I slept at Jen's dorm, got a taste of university-life and met all the people she spends her days with. Saturday we went to New York City where we met up with Melissa (we went to school together in Denmark!) which was so awesome. I haven't seen her since graduation in Denmark, so how cool is meeting in NYC 7 months later? We did all the obligatory tourist-things: Central Park, Times Square, took loads of pictures and visited all the major stores at Times Square. A day of fun.
When Jen & I returned to SBU they had a birthday-party for one of her suite-mates. Sunday and monday we just hung out, enjoyed being around each other and being able to say "do you remember that time when....." - more awesomeness.
I left NY and the states on tuesday, and was back in Sweden the following day. A long and lonesome flight. Thursday I went back to work, and oh man, it was HARD. I was still jet-lagged and 9 hours of work wasn't excactly what I needed. But I made it, and had one of the best nights of sleep I've had for the longest time.
I was back in Sweden for 8 days, and then it was time to round 2 of the 2011 adventures: Birmingham & Wolverhampton, in England...
Rasmus, Kim & I flew to England early friday morning. Unfortunately Rebecca wasn't able to go, as she had to stay in Denmark that weekend. So I went alone with the guys, and I was in for a manly-weekend. I could describe the trip in three words: beer, football (the european kind, of course!!) and dirty-talk. Well, it really wasn't as bad as it sounds, although there was a lot of beer, football and talk about women, boobs and sex! Luckily the guys had tickets for a football game in Birmingham, and instead of going with them I went shopping. For FIVE hours. Ahhhh, it was just what I needed to be convinced that there were still girly things and other girls in this world. Thank goodness... I spent lots and lots of money, bought six new dresses, two pairs of shoes, a shirt and some accesories. I had definitely hadn't been shopping enough in the states, so I had to make up for it in England (logic, right?). Sunday was football-day in Wolverhampton, the guys dressed up in their Wolves-gear, and we went to the stadium. 29000 people helped cheer along the teams, and the game was amazing. Tottemham-Wolverhampton, 3-3. Sunday night we hopped on the train to London, as we were flying back from London early Monday morning. We spent the night in the streets of London, and trying to find our way to the airport. I was home in my apartment on Monday at 11:45, and had to be at work at 13:00, which means I had less than an hour to get into work-mode. Holy smokes. I have never been that tired in my entire life (OK, that may be a lie.. I mean, I did have some wild weeks when I graduated from the IB...)!
And now I'm in Sweden, and planning on staying here for a while.
My parents are visiting by the end of this month. In April I'll probably be going to Copenhagen for a few days, and some friends of mine will be visiting in Sweden. In May I'm going to Florida for two weeks with my family, because of my mum's 50th birthday. She didn't want a boring family-dinner/party so she decided to invite my brother, father and I to Florida for two weeks. Sweet deal. But more about that later!
Now I'm off to spent some time with my roomie, whom I haven't hung out with alone in forever. Adiós amigos, and loads of love from Sweden <3

Oklahoma
I'm finally in Oklahoma after a bit of a hectic travel.
I ended up spending the night in Chicago, because my flight got cancelled. Luckily they opened the airport again the following day, and I was able to flight out to OK.
My sis, mom & dad picked me up in the airport. We went to chili's for lunch and drove home to Chickasha. They've gotten a new sweet SUV. We went to get Kirsten a haircut and then drove back to the house.
Today we're in Newcastle, spending the day at Leahs job. Kirsten and I are playing games, and will probably be heading to Walmart soon to get my walmart-fix of the day. That store is genius.
I'll try and update while I'm here if possible. It just feels good to be back. When I meet people I know they're all like "welcome home!". Man, it feels good.
Love yall.

Love is patient and kind, it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited, it is never rude or selfish, it does not take offence, nor is it resentful. Love takes no pleasure in others' sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end. There are three things that last: faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love.
Home, sweet home!
Woaa, loads of things has happened since my last blog.
Last friday I went to Denmark! Rebeccas parents were in Sweden visiting us, and asked me if I wanted a ride home to Denmark for the weekend. I spoke to my boss and we moved some shifts around, so I'd be able to go home for the weekend. We drove around noon friday, spent a few hours in Gothenburg City and then continued our roadtrip to Denmark. We didn't arrive until 23:30 because of the damn weather, but we made it safe and still alive. I almost went straight to bed when I arrived at my parents' house.
Saturday my mum woke me up around 9:30, we had breakfast together, and then I took their car and drove to town to meet up with two friends. We went shopping a little and ate lunch. Just chilling and chatting. :-) Afterwards I drove them home, and packed a few things and then got picked up by Trine. We drove to Chris' house, watched some episodes of the SATC-series, ate too much candy, talked for hours and just enjoyed being back together. Then we went to Trine's house, ate dinner with her family, began drinking a little (warm-up!) and got ready to go to a party at my friend Signe's apartment. The party was awesome, there were loads of my friends from all kinds of places, we drank, talked, danced and got more and more drunk!! Then we hit the clubs, and then things became a little blurry. As far as I know I went home around 6AM..
Sunday I met up with two girlfriends from the IB, and we had a delicious lunch together. We spent 4 hours just catching up, laughing and having a good old time. We talked about the olden days as IB-students and updated each other on the new things in our lives. It really made me miss having them around on a daily basis! Time flew right by, and before we knew it I was already late to go pick up my brother at his apartment. We told each other goodbye, and agreed to see each other soon again. I picked up my mum and my brother, and we drove to have dinner with my grandparents. It was good being with my family again, unfortunately my dad wasn't in Denmark at the time. He called me saturday while in Scotland, and texted me saying he had just arrived in Belgium when I was on my way home to Sweden on Monday. That man is hard to keep track of - sorta like me, I guess :-)
I spent most of Monday supporting various kinds of public transportation in Denmark and Sweden. Three trains and one bus later I arrived at my apartment. I unpacked, fell asleep on the couch and was woken up by my amazing roomie when she got home from work. She prepared dinner, and our friend Rasmus came over to eat with us. Later that day our friend Richard came over, all three of us just spent time laying in bed, talking.
Tuesday I went back to work. It was so good seeing everyone. I missed my swedish folks while in Denmark. And I miss my danish folks while in Sweden!
Now I have to be in Sweden for just 20 more days, and then I'm leaving for the US! I cannot wait!!!!!!!! :-D
I'll keep yall updated. Life is good in Sweden, Denmark and whereever else I spend my time. I have amazing people in my life, loads of love and freedom to do what I wish. I love life.

Weekend
Lørdag stod på en omgang shopping-tur med tre af de kære danskere heroppe fra. Vi trodsede sne og slud og vendte snuderne mod Nordbts Köpcenter lidt udenfor Strömstad. Og det endte faktisk med at vi alle kom hjem med nogle gode ting. Jeg fik købt et par støvler, et par stiletter, to kjoler, et grønt bælte, et brundt bælte, to neglelak og nogle øreringe til mig og nogle til Rebecca. Så der var god gevinst at hente!
I går aftes kom Rebeccas søde forældre for at overnatte inden de kører videre på ski-ferie. Vi fik lidt god mad, de havde gaver med og så smuttede jeg til fest hos norsken. Rebecca og hendes forældre kørte i dag, og jeg nåede lige at ringe for at sige god tur. Og heldigvis ses vi allerede igen torsdag.
Fest hos norsken var smadderhyggeligt! En norsk, en dansk og fire svenskere ;-) Det blev lidt sent, og jeg endte med at overnatte ude. Da jeg vågnede fik jeg en sms fra min vaske-tøj-date (som jeg fuldstændig havde glemt), og måtte skynde mig hjem. Første vask er nu sat over, har lige fået spist lidt morgenmad, og nu står den bare på TV inden jeg skal sætte en ny vask over.
Senere står den vidst på film med nogle af mine søde svenskere her hos mig. Man må vel nyde at ha' lejligheden for sig selv i nogle dage. Også selvom det altid er sjovest med Rebs her. :-)
Så alt i alt en stille og rolig weekend, der mest af alt har handlet om at hygge med de fantastiske mennesker jeg er så heldig at have.
God weekend til alle. Gotta love life! :-)

En norsk, en svensk og en dansk på tur...
Så er det endnu engang ved at være slutningen på en fantastisk uge :-)
Torsdag var det absolutte højdepunkt! Kom hjem fra aftenvagt kl 22:20 til hjemmebagt kage, som min dejlige Rebs havde lavet til os. Da jeg havde fået mig noget aftensmad og et stykke lækker chokolade-kage tog vi til tøse-fest hos norsken Desirée. Det blev en dejlig aften med fantastiske damer, og en ligeså dejlig nat! Vi fik snakket, grint, danset og hørt en masse gammel musik.. Om natten kom svensken, Richard, og festede med damerne. Jeg så på uret sidste gang omkring kl 06:20 - hvilket bare beviser at vi havde det alt for hyggeligt til at gå i seng! :-) Om formiddagen fik vi bragt tømmermænds-cola af John, vores kære redningsmand, og derefter stod den på arbejde fra kl. 13.
I dag, Lørdag, har jeg været en tur i Strömstad, i Nordbys Köpcenter! Fik købt lækre stilletter, flotte støvler, et par kjoler, to bælter, lidt neglelak og andre basis-ting. SKØNT! :-D
I aften kommer Rebs' kære forældre, så der skal bare hygges hjemme. Jeg har lige kogt risegrød så jeg kan få lavet os noget Ris a la mande.
God weekend, allesammen!

2011
I wish everyone a happy new year! I hope you all entered the new year in style.
2010 has been an amazing year. So many great things has happened. I graduated the International Baccalaureate, got a new job and moved to Sweden, moved out in my own apartment, and best of all I shared all of these things with fantastic people - both old and new acquaintances. I feel lucky to have these people in my life, and I look forward to spending yet another year with you all, and all the experiences that may follow. Hopefully 2011 will become a year with loads of travelling and development. I cannot wait!
HAPPY NEW YEARS!
