andrus on eestlane... täna ma jutustan sellise loo!

well i'm going to the gay iceland party in reykjavik now that it has been approved by my new year's board of friends... talked to adam today which was nice and i think he's going to be there too... there is no snow in iceland so don't think skiing will be on the agenda... kiddi and thorir seem to be stuffing their faces as the slikbutik when I called this evening which made me jealous as I am running 10 km on 300 cal. for jokes.
It was so nice seeing Gill yesterday, my homeland friend living in spain... she's all happy there and is going to come to visit me in london in february. I'm getting nervous about my Maersk interview, now that the time is approaching! it is a lot more exciting when the whole idea is more of a fantasy but when I read statistics about hiring and their selection process, I get so freaked out... and when freaked out, talk to toomas! he's the best! he and I are going to Georg ots spa on Saaremaa in february for reading week! so pumped for that. it is going to be so nice and relaxing! and i need to spend some proper time with him. he's been spending too much time with his stupid boyfriend all because of their benefits! blah! and have i had a visit yet! no! he has to go to vienna all the time to see the stupid boyfriend! what about illegitimate me!!!!!!!!!

well enough ranting... I'm waiting for my step brother and his anally retentive girlfriend to finish dinner so my sister and i can go to the condo and work out! his girlfriend is so bad that we're afraid to let her in the house because of a fear that she is going to suck up all the furniture. my sister took 12 hours to find a snowboard with my father and 7 people got shot in toronto on boxing day. what a nice city!

went to my vanaema's (grandmother's) grave today, visited my mom and my cat... i was so happy to see my cat that i cried. literally. sad, i know... he looks so good! when I figure out what i am going to do when I graduate I am going to look at moving him over to live with me because I am really miss him...

well the festive season has had a bit of a turn in mood as the annual hatrid runs through the airducts of my house. best thing is that this year, I havent done anything wrong! no drunk tank, no drink actually! my sister and I are working out as much as possible to combat the addition of extra poundage. saw my mom today which was nice but we are also arguing about her whackiness a bit so i was pretty silent. The highlight was that I got to see my dear cat bhuddi, see included picture! cuz he looks good!
my sister has also had her fill of xmastime anomosity and we retire to starbucks for air a couple of times a day. my dad and stepmom are a bit whacked out from so many people and christmas parties... god! could there be anymore! not unless we paid strangers to flock...

I am getting pumped for iceland! but there hasn't been enough time in canada. despite the fact i want to leave when everyone gets moody...
my baby niece-ling is the cutest ever. i've convinced her that we don't celebrate christmas anymore. it's all about hannukha... she lives in a very rich jewish area and goes to a school right in the middle of it so it is only necessary to convert her, in addition to the fact that her mother pretends she's jewish to fit in. well actually she is all about the kabballah but it is a really good cover! have some more shopping to do... but gotta run to the gym now! happy hannukkah!

so i made it to canada in one piece. well kind of. i was surrounded by 150 children so after drinking a few in the lounge and throwing a few sleeping pills into the my magical cocktail, I was properly sedated to deal with the challenge. it wasn't that bad except for the fact that an army of kids were piled into the two seats behind me and really got a 'kick' out of my chair. literally. so some groggy evils eyes and a few slurred words with the rental units who were happy to leave there little army to fend for themselves while sitting a few rows up, eventually solved my problem and i was pleasantly unconscious for the most of the flight.it wasn't easy for sure as the last time i flew to toronto on my way to brazil a month ago... i was upgraded and now going back to cattle is rough.
can't complain too much though well i will but i shouldn't... being back is nice. my sister and i are on a hectic regime to not get fat so we're pumping it up at my dad's condo gym... the house looks a pillock as everything is nuts for the renovation. my stepsister and her boyfriend live in the basement although he has been in china for 6 weeks.... he came back yesterday with a tonne of tattoos... and one with my stepsister's name on his wrist followed by '1 love'. hehe

the house it also full of 90 kgs of fake designer stuff from china which i have to say are really good replicas! leather bags, suits, sunglasses, you name it. best surprise that came out yesterday was that my stepsister and the dog are going to go back to china with him for 6 months in february! and karen my stepmom was the last to know! hehe
going to some concert tonight after the gym... gotta pump pump it up... counteraction for the boredom munchies my sister and i do...
flying to ottawa with my sister tomorrow and then going to montreal and her university for a bit before jetting back here. gonna freeze! no joke. we got about 20 cm of snow yesterday so we're not allowed to drive out of the city really... oh mmuurrr....

Jeg fik en jobsamtale hos MAERSK DK i dag og det er jeg super glad for!
Det er kun den første i en serie af interviewer så jeg ikke kan være forhåbningsfuld med det. I det mindst er det en start og en god ting at de har lagt mærke til mig og min CV!

Got an interview at MAERSK, a danish shipping company today which i am super happy about. They have a wikid graduate training program that you can check out at www.maersk.com under the careers M.I.S.E. section...
They called me today because I speak the danish and we had a chat about whether i want to apply to do the training in the UK or in DK and I still have the option to do either but I will go ahead with the selection process in DK because my skills are in some ways more recognized there. still very confused about what i actually want to do but at the top of my list is MAERSK for now. They have a reputation of being a hard company to work for but then again what company isnt in one way or another!
Im flying to canada tonight so i have to go do a lot of crap before i leave!

so I have had a productive day of uni work... and on top of that I am contacting friends in canada to get together which has been so nice. I talked to my old teacher, tuulikki who is so sweet so I am going to her place for dinner next monday and I talked to my long lost friend kelly, who's engaged hehe! but in planning my visits the only people I can't get through to would be my own family... they all have mobiles and landlines but bar telegrammes, I've tried everything! i'm coming wednesday and i have a shitload to sort out including tickets and cars and stuff and no answer. Mind you, my sister has had a mobile since the cutting of the cord and I swear, not once has she answered it. I am starting to consider outcasting as a viable option yet up until the past few days, I got messages saying they were happy i was coming... hmmm. whacky! dad is doing pro-bono work for a charter of rights and freedoms case but still not on the weekend! i'm so frustrated but in family tradition, I shouldn't be surprised... well I think i need to go with the contingency and get some canadian dollars because they don't know what flight i am taking and at the rate we are going, they never will!

canadian on a visit!



tuborgs julebryg... ayyy!
en tur til fisketorvet. hvor spændende.














en typisk islandsk strand. i KBH.

so andy has taken up a new liking to frisbee sports and gets it caught in some power lines and when lou is talking to a farmer and climbs up and electricutes himself and falls off the tower! when he's back in the wheel chair his head is totally black and hair is standing on end. And the best part is that his voice is about 5 pitches higher now!
i laughed for about 10 minutes and and half. all in all the third season isn't as good but vicky and andy still have a place in my heart. vicky has about 10 kids now and takes her kids to work at the sex lines. but her offspring give her baby evils and that is not cool!
worked with þöll last night and we were the coolest bartenders in the world. well we did a private party for dorothy perkins 3000 pounds and we made 12.5% tip of that... which was a whackload! let's just say that i am the shit and i also had the organiser tell me that she loved me repeatedly :)
speaking danish at the bar is a lot of fun because i am really feeling the benefit of having a secret language! vi tager et el. andet fra baren når vi
I also had promises of set ups with hot gay men which i repeatedly and politely declined... one girl tried to gain my vote by telling me that she was going to g-a-y tomorrow. and i was like, hello! and you think that club will get you favours.... think again!
my flight to canada is over booked so i am really hoping that my upgrade certificates will work!
not much work left in the term thankfully, just finishing group project which is going really well! one girl on my course is a godsent!
i need to go to training!

well sofia and i have just seen a few full moons pass while sorting out a stupid banking problem. god i hate banks here. anyway, went to the poshest club ever on the weekend with my dearest erensah and friends plus a friend and colleague from her new york office. it was such a blast, really! we met some fun people at a pub in chelsea called the pheonix and then had to do a mission of a run to get ready at Karen's hotel... it was a crazy night but well worth the craziness!
at the pub, I met this girl who went travelling in india and fell in love with it (well and the prince of some province) and stayed, so we had good chats and I even expressed interest in the company and got a card! it was funny!
the best part of the night was when a girl went up to a guy we were out with and started hitting on him, RIGHT beside his GIRLFRIEND. WOW, i've never felt turkish tension like that before. I think I have had my share of jpmorgan talk for a while...
In good news... Erensah my turk has found a dress and set a date for the wedding in Bodrum, Turkey next year! I am way pumped. I am going to her bride party which is her henna party before hand which is going to be all the fun! karen from NYC is going to go so we spent some time bonding this weekend. super funny girl! she's bringing a friend to hang out in turkey as well...
my only concern is that I am applying for graduate training programs and could start around then but i will deal with that when it is really a problem. but Sept 9th is the day! i can't wait...
I'm really hoping to get in with Maersk, the largest shipping company in the world. They are so international and a danish company is totally what i need! i am so hopeful. I have applied here and i am going to apply to start in Denmark but i think the competition is much stronger in good old DK. going to Canada already next week! and then to the ICE on the 30th. woohoo. new years is going to be all the fun! and I'm going to get all lezzied up apparently.
Some how I have, allegedly, thrown out my gigantic danish dictionary and another book and i don't know HOW! it was on a shelf right above the bin and now i can't seem to find the two books. I get sooooo obsessive compulsive about these things. i have to find it and i can't! maybe it's somewhere on my blog!?! or denmark!? dammit janet, i just don't get it!

christmas is coming soon and i'm not ready!
'don't be ridiculous, I'm an estate agent...' - flippi 25.11.2005

well i am trying to get a lot of stuff done and it's not happening... uni work is hectic but going well. and i've decided that everyone is gay! and on top of that, why does everyone homo seem to gloat about a boyfriend the minute they start talking to me. I have had people in my department bring up the topic of boyfriends in the most random context! like fx. so did you go aborad last year? answer: well my boyfriend, he was ill and so I moved in and took care of him and worked on his parents farm while he was getting better and then took a year off...
my preferred version: yes, I was in iceland. (is it really that hard!)
fx2: so you study at this department then? well i moved in with my boyfriend so I decided to change my schedule a bit so I would also be able to take more classes with him(!?!) and I dropped classes from my old department and now I've changed my degree. (for a boyfriend)
my preferred version: Yes, I study in this department. (but why the hell would you change your degree for a boyfriend!?!?!)

gay people at UCL are really scaring me.

and on top of it, i would like to say that I think it's strange that everyone on the icelandic program in my department wears only black. what the hell!?! it's dark enough in iceland... liven it up a bit, pleeeezzzeee....
lastly, I am sick of hearing about people bragging about their bloody brilliance in languages. yes we all learn fucking languages and just maybe someone has told you that you speak like a native but come on, does everyone have to know?! and by the way, you're british, not icelandic and i can't believe that one would actually go to say that they feel icelandic and hence changed their name to an icelandic one... no, i'm not bitching about someone specifically!!! ;)
and then to go on to pretend that you forgot a word in english so you ask someone for the translation from icelandic! not even my icelandic friends do that! well I am done, but not for ever...

ok besides that, ironically, I am going with the girls to a icelandic society pub night tomorrow which is going to be interesting....
my friend from manchester that i really didn't get around to see when i was visiting hedinn is coming this weekend!! yah! so we get to chill which is cool... and lastly, Aussie nick that i know from Brazil is coming to move to london shortly so I get to have a little reunion. trying to do a lot of work this weekend and be boring... need to work and go to gym.

my flatmate is the queen of cake making! she is brilliant, i love it... props to her!
