So, we went on the camping trip of awkwardness. Me, Marthe, Aksel and Martin alone in a cabin with no car and no means of escape for three days. Luckily it went really well and I think we can all hang out without awkwardness or bad feelings from now on. Which is good since I don't really wanna loose them as friends.

Anyways, it was a bizarre trip. We went skinnydipping, and sometime during day one turned into nudists. Probably due to the large amounts of alcohol we drank. But the best part of the trip was when I set Martin on fire. That's right, I took my lighter and his chest hair lit up like a torch. Why, you ask would someone want to do such a thing. Well, Martin insisted on setting fire to a spiderweb even though I told him not to and said that if he did I'd set fire to him as well. He insisted that I wouldn't dare, and sat fire to the spiderweb (poor spider), so I had no choice.

Other great things included....hmmm...wait, no that was about it. Instead you get this great motivational poster:





This is just amazing:

When I woke up the next morning I looked through my luggage, threw out the clothes that were really smelly, put the back-pack on again and left for the air port, right then cursing the stupid idea of mine of taking two separate vacations after each other. But all that changed when I was reading sources for my essay on the airport. I just got so relaxed. Nothing was the matter and on that day I managed to read 170 pages, which, to be quite honest, is a lot for me. I also met this really great guy, Mark, from Edinburg, who were travelling to Manchester. Luckily for my studying, he took an earlier train than me from Liverpool, so I could spend the three hours on the train studying. Then I got home to Aksels place, and the rest of the week was amazing. We climbed a three that hung over a lake, we went to see Dresden Dolls, the best band ever, we looked at apartments for next year, walked thorough the city center, had coffee at Starbucks, and just in general had a shiny time! I love him so much! And can't wait till next year.

When I got home, the reality of it all hit me though. I had a presentation the next day, which I was totally unprepared for, I was behind on my reading, my essay was not finished, and I promptly got sick. Now I'm sitting here, trying to convince myself that clothes are important, and that one has to actually get working even though one is sick. I don't wanna. I wanna be well before I start working again. Sigh! Not gonna happen...

You do anything fun whilst I was away? (I bothered to read three pages back on my friends page, but that's as far as I'm willing to go, so tell me people, tell me!)

I'm at work. There's loads of stuff to do that I don't feel like doing. It's raining outside and when I stepped outside to try and have a smoke, everyone was suddenly walking in couples. Two drug addicts in matching outfits, an elderly couple with matching rain coats were holding hands, a young glam rock couple hurried by. It looked like they'd bought a family sized box of peroxide for their hair and dyed it together. They were wearing exactly the same. It worries me that everywhere I go I see couples. It makes me feel alone even though I have the best boyfriend in the world. And the rain makes me sad and kinda wistful. But tonight we're going out, and I'm sure it'll work itself out. Most of my friends have become couples too, Eivind and Silje, Aksel and me. mirazandar invited Silje and Vegard, so that leaves her and Erik as the single ones. Oh, and aj_stalin might not bring her boyfriend even though she's got one. The world have turned weird. I don't wanna buy matching rain coats.

Sorry for spamming you all...

I'm off to visit my boyfriend in Leeds. Leaving in one hour I keep obsessing about all the things I should have done. However, I will now leave, even though I have not sent my work to my boss, invited all Holmestrand SVs members to a meeting or posted the program for this years annual meeting in Elysium. Luckily I'm surrounded by nice people whom I can bully into doing things for me. Good on me, bad on them. (Btw. thanks Marthe, you're a doll!).

It's snowing outside so the world is preparing for winter. I love winter and soon I'll be on my way. All is packed, all is ready and I will now go downstairs, look at the snow and drink a cup of tea. Life is good.

Happy halloween all!
