merry christmas on colehill gardens!
well christmas was a glutonous event only 2 weeks after the first one on colehill gardens, where after a very hungover period of party, guests and estonian bread, we finally cooked everything under the sun and ate a feast! thøll sofia and i had a wikid dinner with tonnes of leftovers, thankfully. viktor was still here, but was passed out on the floor after boozing earlier in the evening with a friend. but only in estonian tradition. he took one for the team. the meal was accompanied by big brother which has become the ruler of the household. sofia has been self-nominated herself to play the role of big brother as she seems to control and comment from her post no matter where we seem to be located in the house. she hears everything and definitely does comment on everything and anything threw multiple walls, a talent thöll and I have yet to master... probably never will. she´s just big brother at heart. well i have reclaimed my room after viktor´s visit, which is nice... although it was nice seeing him. i didn´t realise till he left that I am going to estonia in 10 days and that means that I have less than that till my first interview! fuck me! this is going to kill me, and I still have fuckloads of reasearch to do... oh merh... terry your husband?!
I went for a sparatic walk yesterday in our local park because I have decided that the centre stresses me out a lot during the day, so I need to appreciate other parts, more peaceful parts during the daytime hours! It was a really nice stroll although i kind of felt like it should have been accompanied by some self-evaluating theme from a music soundtrack. but i really love the thames river and the path by it... I was so inspired to explore further... there is sooo much of london I haven't seem. probably cuz I pretend I don't live here. I live in some weird icelandic, danish existence with an english address...
and I am still laughing about lucy from work telling me that I make funny noises when speaking... I hope this doesn't scar my presence in formal settings. I really hope that I don't exert random 'shut up! you don't know nuffin' 'bout nuffin'"s in my interview.
I am also having really strange dreams about sofia, but I can't remember them exactly so I am going to make an effort to write them down!

who kisses in the roadhouse?! allegedly me!
well this has been a bit of a hectic week back at uni. viki is here from estonia and bjöggi is here as well visiting form KBH so we have a full house... I am also hectically applying for jobs... there are soooo many deadlines for internships that i have no down time really... it is on my mind constantly... I am really focusing on applying for jobs in scandinavia. i really don´t want to stay in the UK if i don´t have to... I am so over it... I saw my friend lisi in the gym and we had a big heart to heart about it...
i am worried about Maersk, because I really want it and they are telling me that based on statistics it is easier to get into the company in the uk but that involves moving around within the uk as well and I don´t think i can deal with it. but i have decided to just go to KBH for the interview and take it from there...
i´ve checked out a lot of internships with procter and gamble as well as singapore airlines and accenture, a management consultancy firm.
ANYWAY, so last night thøll and i had training with our bar and then we were all going out for drinks for a girls birthday in covent garden at the warehouse. it started off in holborn at a cheap bar where we got a lot of questions about iceland and drank very cheaply by pouring vodka into our drinks... and this colleague was a bit out of the blue when he asked goes... you're rich right, or is that a myth! I was a little taken back! thöll goes... NO! his dad´s rich! it was odd... I mean i can drink my own vodka if i want! anyways, i don´t drink beer so of course spirits are pricey!
the roadhouse is where we went off to after and it was a good laugh. dancing with colleagues is fun and sofia, bjøggi and viki joined us there before going to GAY... and after being a 'gaybashed' all evening... I then kissed the gay basher! i have to watch my terms, it's all in good fun, but yeah I kissed the assistant manager, rob! haha. who is allegedly straight but above all is the one that likes to pop the most gay jokes! so it was a great occurance for my case in my future counteraction against the gaybashing... i feel he'll cool it now just a bit... otherwise claim i raped him or something... although he was quite curious earlier on in my sexual preferences..! haha.
in other events, sofia was fantastically drunk and bjöggi couldnt have looked more unhappy about being there until he got drunk... I have some fantastic picutres which I will upload soon... but we were suppised to have christmas today and now we are all to dead to do it so it is taking place tomorrow... I must make an honourable mention about my gay side kick anthony who is in south africa right now and couldn´t make the party... it was a shame he couldn´t help me in fighting off all the straight boys that want to kiss me! it´s so not easy! i better get a raise now! not that i ever work...
I have done a full body detox today and feel very rejuvenated which is nice for me, isn´t it...
viki is the worst person in the world to share a bed with! on top of his snorring he tries to shove his fingers up my nose in his sleep...
and another thing! i got told that I make weird funny noises when i speak! for the record, it´s just to not sound boring! but i really do feel the impact of little britain on my every day life. i wonder if there is any therapy out there for that..?
back to uni work! :) hehe

and on to iceland...
well iceland had a big reputation to live up to... considering I don't really spend a day without hearing about iceland. I really just had to go. I came from canada in the morning of the 30th and then had 12 hours to come home, pack andunpack and then get back to the airport. but despite only sleeping (induced) an hour on the plane I forced myself to go to the gym :) anyway, made it to iceland and had a wikid time going out that night... for some reason, I always go out onthe night before new years. I just have to make things difficult for myself. I even saw my lovely flatmate thøll on the street randomly which was ever so surprising... I saw a lot of people I have met before to say the least. Hedinn made the nicest new years dinner on the eve of new year which was the most fantastic treat ever while other homos selfishly spent hours in the mirror, although i am sure he had his fair share of mirror attention... we went to the fireworks just before midnight and viewed them from the big church, a most stunning backdrop for such a wikid display! At the gay fest we went to there was some good fun which was expected :) I met a canadian dancer who wanted me to go home with him and this other american guy, although I decided to wake up beside thorir as usual... :( and the canadian got annoying as well. he was a dancer and I have some issues with the way dancers move. don't ask...
the trip was a bit of a test on my friendship with kiddi due to darkness, alcohol, length of stay and circumstances of sleeping! but i think we did pretty well... we had some good little spats of bitchness but it was only to be expected. he and hedinn were actually wikid hosts and good fun. Thorir was all over the map but what else to expect! but at least a good laugh under the influence which was most of the remainder of his trip since he was leaving before me... the gay cafe in RVK is quite funny. and tiny but was still fun to check out... My favoritest thing ever were the swimming pools which were outdoor and consisted of slides, hot tubs of variant temperatures and a large swimming pool. it was super duper! god there is so much to talk about! but the blue lagoon was something special. i really loved that as well... but it was really windy and a bit cool..
the darkness was really hard to deal with. I know what it's like from estonia but in estonia I never do much. it was really a mission to gather motivation and this was another big strain on hanging out with people... and getting out and being productive...
maria and her sister, maria being kiddi's friend that I went to amsterdam with this summer, is the sweetest ever... and it was super nice hanging out with her...
although the last friday, I was out with thöll and we were so ridiculously drunk that I was MR. PUKEY for a good 24 hours afterwards... that was sooo embarrassing especially because I threw up in any location with a drain... including the sink... that was horrible. why did i do that to myself, i still really don´t know. it involved a lot of attempts to keep it cheap by drinking before hand with thøll and her friends... wine, gt, vodka were a horrible combination. above all I also fell into love with the closet and floor by falling out of bed when kiddi tried to turn me away from infringing on his side of the bed.... and that has taken a few visits to the chiropractor to sort out! he seems to have a thing for my neck which started out with violent hair pulling at PAN...
friends are truly liabilities!
thøll and i flew home at the same time and had a good old pig out session in the lounge before... she's decided that she is always going to fly with me or more specifically my gold card... :)
I will put more pics up... I really really want to go back in the summer time when there is more light but I would say that this was the best new years ever for location for sure... and maybe for company as well! as much as we may bicker about shit, kiddi is great company...
despite the fact that he is a threat to my physical condition...

oh canada... my home and native land??!!
so I have reflected and gotten back into, well icelandic life in london... But it is so hard to go back after 3 weeks of holidays... first of all canada was really nice. I ate so much sushi it was great and they even make brown rice sushi now! that was cool! it was so nice hanging out with my sister a lot! we went to the gym at my dad's condo a lot and that was nice... we had our secret mission to keep off the january fat! and i think it worked... I fly with her to quebec to see her university which is at the end of butfuck-nowhere. Was also visiting in ottawa and montreal with friends. I love hanging out with my sister, she is the best regulator in my life. to be completely honest I would so love to live with her because we are the only people that are fully brutally honest with eachother. she can really put me into place and I love her and argue with her for that! med det samme... anyway, we know our situation and she is so wise beyond her years it's amazing. I can't believe how she has grown up in the past couple of years and how wise she is beyond her years. she handles everyone so well although she does take a lot of liberities ;)
my family is so whack these days... conflict of personality not to mention families and priorities... but it was still nice. My stepfam has really changed and things are all up in the air... our house was under renovation and my stepsister and her wikid boyfriend are living in the basement along with their pyschotic dog. so it was a big cabin fever kind of situation... that was bad... emotions ran high and people popped their clogs...
but that's what xmas is all about. to say the least, we have agreed that we are all going to mexico for christmas and newyears... xmas is just for meget. leaving was a bit of a relief but i am hoping it's not like that in future years... I had to get a suit for my interview in denmark which was a horrible experience and i was fighting with my dad and the salesman about how long it should be... i kept yelling, it's not supposed to look like this and they we're like... shut up and get used to it...
æyyyøøøø!
i really couldn't see all the friends i hoped to as I have to watch my time management with fam despite the fact that I got shunned a bit for whatever reason...
the whole situation confuses julia and i... sådan er det jo!
i think my family is welll pleased that I have interviews coming up! wow.. that was nice!
