I'm spendt..

It's been such a long week with so many things happening and almost no sleep.. So now I will count the pretty little fluffy sheep that are dancing behind my eyelids. I guess being so worn down by a few days of partying is a sign that I'm getting older.. uhhh! The recovery period seems so much longer and my body is also mixing in a few flu signs just to top it off! But I'll fill you in on my escapades tomorrow when I wake up (hopefully) well rested..

I'm gonna turn 15 years old around 21.30 tomorrow!

I'm so excited about seeing BIOHAZARD tomorrow.. They have always been a brilliant live act, and I was sooooooo into them in my teens.. I even had their logo done on my wall in my teenage room by some graffiti guy, and my parents haven't had the heart to paint it over, so it's still there! I'm really looking forward to seeing them with the original lineup reunited and only playing songs from the first 3 albums.. It's probably gonna send me down teenage memory lane! Hope it still works for me.. If it does, I'll go to Malmø and see them on Thursday, just for the heck of it!
I just wish that I could be a big motherfucker of a guy with tattoos all over for a few hours so I could be in the pit and break shit.. and singing along to that type of music just works a lot better for guys, it's just NOT FAIR! I just feel like such and ass standing there screaming along with my high voice!! 'PUNISHMENT!!'.. heheh..

It's a new dawn, it's a new day..

My little blog here has been a bit slow because there is so much going on at the moment! So I will bring it up to speed..
I am now officially separated from my husband, the papers came through on Thursday, and we're not being reviewed by the state or any of that horrible stuff.. I Denmark you first file for separation and then you can get divorced after 6 months if you both agree, if you don't you have to wait another 6 months. But the separation means you are not financially depended anymore, you just can't get re-married until you are divorced (Like that is gonna happen!!). In the separation you have to agree on a lot of different terms, that also count when you get to the divorce. Since Brian and I didn't really 'own' anything (other than stuff!), and didn't have kids, it was kinda easy to agree. So that came through on the terms that Brian keeps the apartment and I get to keep my savings.
Yesterday we split up the place, which is probably one of the hardest things I have done, going through your DVD's and stuff.. And you know that it's just stuff! But, it's stuff that you bought together to enjoy together and splitting it is a very sad and overwhelming thing! I felt like such an ass coming in there and tearing stuff off the shelves, but tried to think of the fact that I have no furniture whatsoever and no real place to live.. I know it sounds really stupid, but that is what I needed to do to be able to run off with the 'stupid' DVD's! In the end, I don't think any of the stuff is really of any value.. Something has 'died' and stuff don't count for nothing! So I spend my afternoon going between extremely emotional and egotistic bitch.
Today my very helpful parents and I rented a car and moved the stuff to their house. It ended up being 6 boxes a few bags, my bass, bike and skis. It is really surreal to have your 'life' boxed like that.. and the fact that I couldn't even fill half a Mercedes Vito was kinda disappointing! I had to do most of the heavy lifting because my parents a getting to the age where they are starting to need spare parts and a major service check, so I guess it was fine that there wasn't too much to carry (I'm sure my legs and arms will agree in the morning!). Everything went smoothly and I have to say that it was such a relief to be able to be out of there and throw the keys in the letterbox when we were done. This afternoon has been devoted to unpacking and finally getting settled at my parents house. It's temporary, until if find the right thing to live in, but I want to feel at home as long as I'm here, and luckily my parents have a huge house where I can have the basement all to myself.
So today, December 1st, is the day where I can finally start over, and try to figure out what I'm gonna do with my new found 'freedom'. I have a lot of future plans that I want to turn into reality. Work wise I'm probably gonna try to apply for jobs in London, like I always dreamed of when I was just starting out as a hairdresser. I am extremely picky and the salons I want to work in can be counted on one hand. I think I have a lot to offer, and that it is the right time, but I'm not gonna work anywhere, just to go to London, it has to be one of the top places.
I also got a very cool job offer last week that I'm considering, as color technician for Fudge (the brand that I work with) in the Cph area. It would mean that apart from my normal salon job, I would go out and teach some nights and do events.. All stuff that I love to do! It would mean some extra work but also some extra pay, and I would probably have a lot of fun doing it. I will be working with their sales rep here in Cph, and she is this very sweet, very shy, country girl (So not cut out for the Cph market!), and I think we could be a really cool team! I could be nerdy, crazy, tattooed, bad cop-girl and she could be the sweet good cop! So we have to see if that falls through.. I find it very strange/funny that she chooses to offer me a job like this with my current personal situation, if one believed in fate, this would be it!
On a personal level, I'm looking forward to doing a lot of travelling. There are so many cities in Europe that I haven't been to yet, that are perfect for extended weekend stays. My first mission is Amsterdam in January, which I am sure will be very cool. I hope I can get away every 2-3 months on a little extended weekend. Next on my list are Stockholm, Berlin and maybe I will go rape Iceland (have been there, beautiful country, love it) in the summer, they are so begging for it right now! heheh..
So short term, I on paper have a very cool week coming. Going out to dinner with Louise tomorrow, Seeing Biohazard on Wednesday and hopefully getting a hold of the guys and getting on the list for the show in Malmø on Thursday with Sanne. I don't think one show with the original lineup is quite enough for me, they are such an awesome live band and since they are supposed only to play songs from their first 3 albums, it will be like travelling back to teenage-heaven for me! (",) Saturday my bosses are opening up a new shop and having a reception with free beer (YEAH! Still works for me!) and Sunday, Keith and I are gonna be corny and go to the amusement park Tivoli and hold hands (Right Keith!?!? (",)).. I forgot how stressing it is to be single! The weeks just seem to fill up by themselves, but I'm loving it (In a very non-McDonald's sort of way!).

Under Siege!

This little guy showed up at our doorstep yesterday afternoon. He was very attention seeking for a cat, so I said hi and made a new friend. If this was a normal cat it wouldn't be a problem, because they are usually very reserved and don't really care if you are interested in them. Now, the problem is that I'm a smoker, living in a non-smoking home. I go outside to smoke at least 4-5 times a day, and stand in the blistering cold and 'enjoy' my cigarette all by myself. So this little guy was just a nice bit of company for a cold afternoon. I checked him for ear-tattoo or collar, but he hasn't got either. Then when I was done smoking and wanted to go back inside the little fellow wanted to join me, I barely caught him before he reached the living room! Since then he has camped on our doorstep and it is hell getting in or out of the house without him trying to dodge you and slip inside! We had him inside three times last night, and when I went out to smoke he was very cuddly and climbed my jacket and ended in my arms (ups!), I am not that strong when it comes to animals, and he is just soooo cute!! (",)
This morning my dad had enough and tired to scare him off with water, and it helped for a little while. But he's just so stupid, as soon as my dad stopped spraying water on him he stopped running and came back to my dad! Very silly cat!! When we came home from town this afternoon he was nowhere to be found, and we thought he finally had gotten the point.. but no! When I was sitting here by my computer in the basement I heard a strange noise from the window, and there he is again! scratching and miaowing the against the window.. I've named him Garfield now, because he is just as annoying! The question is: Will we ever be rid of him?! (and I of course secretly want to adopt him! heheh!)

A hectic week..

I am finally home again, after a long week of work and fun! It became winter this week, it went from rainy and windy to freezing and snowing, and I love it! I'm currently staying at my parents house because of my divorce. It's really nice of them to have a 27 year old teenage in their house again, and so far it's been very easy. I try to spend half my time here and half my time with friends in Copenhagen. I don't want to be too much of a pain in the ass for either! My parents live an hour and twenty minutes by train and bus from Copenhagen. It has been a really hard transition for me, who has been used to a 10 min. bike ride! But I actually really enjoy the train ride, I can listen to music, read and knit obsessively (to Slayers 'Reign in blood'! YEAH!).. It's the bus I have a problem with!! After 7 pm it runs once and hour.. Tuesday night I spend 30 min in the blistering cold waiting for the bus. That can turn you pretty grumpy! But I guess it's only a question of timing, but timing has never been one of my strong suits!!
Anyways, Wednesday I spend my evening filling out divorce papers with my soon to be ex-husband. That was a pretty strange, uncomfortable evening, but it was also a major relief! It's been 4 weeks now since I left him, and I've had this divorce 'splitting' things evening in the back of my head constantly. I haven't been able to sleep properly because of it and it was starting to wear me down. But things went as smooth as they could. I was the one who left and made the decision, but that really doesn't make it any easier. I've had to keep pushing to get things moving and I've felt like such and ass! You don't just turn 6 years of loving and caring for someone 'off' over night. But I know it is the right thing for me, and that it what is most important. Luckily none of us want to fight over our things, I guess we are both too hurt to want to fight, and there are no parades to block with anymore!
With that settled and done I've sleep like a baby since! It's been so nice..
Thursday I want out with my friend Sanne after work and had a few drinks and stayed at her couch overnight. It's really nice staying at her and her husbands flat. They are really cool people and they treat me like I'm their kid when I'm there. I get told to remember to brush my teeth and I almost get tucked in! hahaha.. They are the sweetest and most loving people I know! I find them a blast because the both look so cool.. they have the coolest tattoos, the do the coolest things (Shes a clothes designer, he plays guitar in Pligrimz), they listen to the coolest music, they have the coolest home.. and then when you get to know them, they are so opposite to everything you think they are! Sanne loves to cook, bake and pickle and Aage spends his nights watching NBA online.. and they drink herbal the instead of beer! hahah.. They are just geeks in a really cool package!.. and I love it!
Friday night was spend home at my parents doing as little as possible, I didn't get home until 8.30 pm, been having some hectic work days in the salon.
Yesterday when I got off from work I picked up A LOT of sushi and went to my friend Louise and her husband Muffe's house. Louise is my dear friend and tattoo artist, who I don't think needs any further introduction. Her husband Muffe owns a piercing shop called Copenhagen Body Extremes and used to scare the living crap out of me (follow the link and you'll see why!).
Muffe doesn't eat sushi so he just watched while Louise and I stuffed our faces. They have this really cool house where people just drop by and hang out, so you never know who'll pop by when you are there. A guy called Lars came by later, he and Muffe was in the founding group of the original 'Youth house' (Ungdomshuset) in Copenhagen, which has now been cleared out, you can find a bit of the story here. I just love to hear the tales of the early years of Ungdomshuset, from these people who are so passionate an who have been ignored by the politicians for so many years. I didn't sympathize with they way the younger generation of Ungdomshus-users treated the whole clearing (trashing half the city!), but I still think that the house should never have been sold to those Christian-Nazis, and that Copenhagen needs a Youth house!
When Lars went home we watched 'Charlie Wilsons war' and 'No country for old men'. I really liked 'Charlie Wilsons war' even though it was with Tom Hanks who I usually hate! What carried the movie for me was yet another brilliant performance by Philip Seymore Hoffmann who is always really cool. I must admit that we all feel asleep to 'No country for old men', and that didn't make it less confusing! I will give it another shot some other time, and preferably before 2 am.
So altogether it's been a busy but really nice week.. The one approaching doesn't look like it's gonna be quiet either, but I like to keep busy. so bring it on!

The toilet loves me..

During the lovely brunch (that turned into quite a few drinks!) I had with my friend Keith on Saturday, I tried to tell him this lovely Henry Rollins story.. It's definitely one of my faves (though there are many!)! I saw him with this show in Copenhagen and it was such a laugh, and he went on for 3 hours! He started out with this story but came back to 'Whap! Whap! The toilet loves me!' many times during the show! I just love Henry's spoken word shows, he's always good for an entertaining and intelligent night!
So here it goes, Henry does it sooo much better than me!.. Mainly to Keith, as thanks for listening to my endless bitching and not letting me spoil his appetite!
