You could buy me diamonds ..

.. You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby, you know I'm worth it
She walks the mile, makes you smile
All the while being true
Don't take for granted
The passion that she has for you
You will lose if you choose
To refuse to put her first
She will and she can
Find a man who knows her worth
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold it down when shit gets rough
Cuz baby, I know you're worth it

I looove Alicia Keys, and especially this song. It's fabuloso! All of her songs are great, but my favorites are If I Ain't Got You and this one.
Anyway, today has been a looong one. And I've been to the dentist .. Ouch!. She gave me a local anaesthetic in my nerve at the left side of my mouth, and as a result, that half became COMPLETELY numb. I couldn't feel a thing. Half my tongue and half my bottom lip, and then the rest of that side of the mouth was totally paralyzed. I must have looked like a retard, and sounded like one too. It lasted 5 hours too .. I'm never going through that again.

This evening has been quiet .. I haven't really been doing anything. I got an sms from one of my friends who lives far away, saying how she had been eating mango chutney earlier, and thought of me, because at Oure we used to be the only ones who liked it, and ate SO much of it together. It might seem weird to others, but it's good old memories to us (: . It made me miss my friends that I don't get to see very much. After having lived together for a year, you do become close. They are without a doubt some of the most genuine friends I have. And that means a lot.

I have another looong day tomorrow too, so I guess it's time to catch up on my sleep..

Sometimes we need to stop ..

.. analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.

Tomorrow I am going to starve myself ..

Why? .. Because I have to. My crazy religion teacher has suggested that we all fast for the day, just like muslims. I might as well kill myself now. I can already feel the sugar-cravings ..

So, so far this week has been a very long one. And it's only wednesday. But long phonecalls with friends and Sex and the City have helped a lot .. I think the mixture of autumn/winter in the air, and being alone has made it hard for me to fall asleep at night, and get up in the morning. It probably just takes some getting used to .. And of course, the thought of school doesn't make things better. I need a holiday ..

Anyway, no more depressing thoughts! .. I need to go to bed soon, and get ready for my fast tomorrow. My strategy is to stock up on breakfast, and hope that will be enough for the rest of the day. But knowing me, I'll probably snooze until 07:27 (my alarmclock goes off every 9 minutes when I press snooze), quickly have a five-minute shower, get dressed and only manage to eat a piece of fruit or something for breakfast. And still manage to be late for school. My mornings don't really work out that well for me .. And then again, I suppose they do. After all, I manage to get myself out of bed and to school almost on time. Most of the time, that is.

But first, another episode of Sex y la Ciudad!

All aloneee ..

Coming home to an empty house is actually a pretty lonely feeling. I always thought I liked being alone .. But now I know that I don't like it for too long ..
I found out that my parents are actually first coming home sunday, so now I'm planning on going up to our summerhouse on friday. Just for the weekend. I could also stay here and go out partying with some friends, but .. I don't really know if I feel like it. We'll see.
This makes me think of one of my favorite episodes of Sex and the City, I Heart NY, where Carrie wakes up feeling cold because her window is open, and feels how the seasons are "clicking", and how it's becoming autumn. It makes her feel lonely, so she calls Mr. Big and asks if he ever feels lonely. He, as a man who never says the right things, just says no .. So she asks if she can come over. And then she sees that all his furniture is gone, and finds out he's moving to Napa. But the part I love most, is the ending. She comes into his empty apartment, and finds 2 things. A record they listened to a few days earlier "Moon River", with a note on it saying "If you ever get lonely" .. And in front, an envelope saying "If I ever get lonely", with a planeticket to Napa in it .. It's soooo sweet .. Sigh .. And I watch WAY too much Sex and the City .. But it just makes me so happy. So maybe I should have a "Happy hour" every evening, where I watch Sex and the City!

Tomorrow is just another day .. Wake up early, school .. So depressing. It kind of feels like a waste of life. Always the same thing.
When I got home this evening, I didn't really feel at home. It's hard to explain. Everything looked the same way I left it last friday, but still everything felt strange. I've lived here my whole life, but I don't feel any connection. And I know I won't be sad the day I move. Sure, I'll miss the house I've grown up in, and all my friends. But I'll be happy to move on.
I keep trying to find out why I feel the way I do .. And I think it's because this town is too small and quiet for me. I love cities like Copenhagen, where something's always happening .. And you can get around at any time. Shops are always open, and there are always people around. This town is like a 5th grade camp-trip .. Lights out at 10 o'clock. I guess that's the main reason. Sometimes I over-think about things like this. That's the reason I can never fall asleep in the evening. But I've figured that I better make the best of living here .. I can't go around all the time thinking "Oh god, I wish I could move away from here" .. Not that I do that, but .. still. And it's only just over 1 1/2 years till I move. So that's that.

This post has gotten really long all of a sudden, so I think it's time to wrap it up now ..
Nighty night

One of the best quotes ..

"Never take things for granted
Hold every person you love to your heart
because you might wake up one day,
and realize that you've lost your diamond
while you were too busy collecting stones"

I found it earlier, and had to write it down. So I did it here. I think it says so much .. (:

I've just said goodbye to my parents. They are going away for either a few days or until next wednesday. My dad is having a hip resurfacing operation, so they don't really know. We have a lot of stairs in our house here, so they might just stay in the summerhouse where it's flat, for a few days. I kind of wish I was coming. I mean, I like being home alone, but not for so long. I get a bit lonely .. Poor me, right? And now I can look forward to eating only yogurt for the next few days. When I'm alone I really just don't want to cook. And I don't want to be unhealthy and eat pizza all the time either. So I'm taking the easy/lazy way out.

I think I'm going to start watching season 4 of Sex and the City tonight. I've seen it plenty of times, but that doesn't really matter. It's always good.
Aaanyway .. I better get started .. My homework isn't gonna do itself.

"Nobody puts Baby in a corner"

This morning when I turned on the news, the first thing I saw was the headline "Patrick Swayze has died". I knew that he had been fighting with cancer for a while, but I hadn't seen that coming. What a shame to lose such a talented actor. I'll always remember him for his role as Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing. R.I.P

I've had a really long day in school today, so I'm really tired now. Unfortunately I have homework .. Maths, which I hate more than anything on earth. One of the things I hate most, is that I don't understand it. Most of it, at least. I guess I'll just have to work harder.

I'm hoping this week will go fast .. This weekend I'm going to see my boyfriend, and in the train on the way there, I'm going to see one of my really good friends, Claudia. I haven't seen her in over a year, so it's about time. So it really won't feel like as long a trip as usual. For the first 1 1/2 hours of the trip, 2 of my friends from my class are on the train, so that's nice. And half an hour later, and for the rest of the trip, Claudia will be there to entertain me. Sounds good to me!
On saturday, my boyfriend and I are going to our favorite restaurant for sushi. It's some of the best sushi any of us have ever had, so I can't wait. I can just taste that volcano-roll right now .. Mmmm ..

Oh well, now it's time for homework, I guess. And then I should really exercise if there's time.
After that, i HAVE to watch Sex and the City. I feel like it's ages since I've watched it, and I really need my "fix". Whenever I'm the least bit in a bad mood, I just watch Sex and the City, and then I'm myself again. It's my new drug.

Goodnight!

La Douleur Exquise!

Last night, my friend Julia and I watched Sex and the City for THIRTEEN freaking hours. We had planned on seeing all 6 seasons, but we "only" managed to see 2 of them. But still, I'm not tired of watching it .. I actually want more. And all day I've really wanted to watch my favorite episode again; "La Douleur Exquise!". I just looooooove Sex and the City .. And I can't wait till the new movie is coming out .. Suddenly May feels ages away.

What else? It's a saturday night, and I'm bored .. I just spent a little over an hour on my new header above. I think it turned out pretty nice. I decided to change the colours and the style of my blog a little. It's more stylish now, than before.

And last, a quote from Sex and the City:

"After all, seasons change, so do cities; people come into your life and people go.
But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away." Carrie

Buenas noches!
