Coffee

Learned about making coffee last night.

All drink knowledge tend to be very nerdy with silly details and insider only knowledge.

Maybe that's why it intrigues me. =)

Now I want to learn about bartending. Or actually just making drinks, to actually "tend a bar" is not the point for me. But I'm not going to be that nerdy that I call it mixology. ;)

Food knowledge seems to make more sense to me. As soon as it's liquid I have a little bit harder to grasp it, (yes, it's a bit of an ironic metaphor) but I'm guessing it's basically the same when it comes down to it.

Very interesting to learn!

Want to know moooore now!

Wind

A windy morning in Queens

Popcorn

Swedish cookies

Cooooookies from Ikea, nam nam nam, (havreflarn, pepparkakor). Slooowly decorating the tree...a few things every time I pass... Most of the other Christmas stuff already up...so pretty. Done lots of laundry today. Took a walk taking photos this morning. After a night of dancing. Will post in a near future. (Tonight? Tomorrow? Next week?) A little bit busy. Going to have a housewarming party this weekend so trying to do the finishing touches to the apartment...and the Christmas decorations.

Joined Google Wave today. Don't know how to use it yet or what to use it for...but I'm going to figure it out.

Want to see a picture of how I look right now? Here it is:

Everyone is a little entitled to some late night anxiety right? Referring to the friend post... In Sweden we call it the wolf hour. Ouwouwoooouuuu!
Now everything feels much better again! And as you can see yesterday was a fun day. Everybody was extremly nice, suprisingly helpful...from busdrivers in Brooklyn to another security guard to Ikea customers...(except the employees just because they didn't know more than us.)

Really...?

Security gard: Ooh I've never met sweedes before! 
Me: Really...? 
Sec guard: Never. 
Me: ...But you work at Ikea!?

Friends...

I hate coming out from a period of being sick. The world around you has forgotten about you.

I haven't had energy to get in touch with my friends, or even call them back. Never any good news or interesting things to tell makes it harder. You could argue that it's not real friends if they aren't staying through that....but at the same time I haven't been a good friend at all. Being sick is depressive. No energy for anything fun. Just comes with guilt, stress and anxiety. Thank God I'm not severely sick at least. Just "blame god" that I caught so many colds after each other this last year...Exhausting. And it's nothing you can be proud of so when I'm sick, I'm hiding.

Well I've been feeling well for a while now...trying to catch up with friends. Seeing who's still out there. It's rough. Some are sweet and understanding. Other's hurt but trying to be forgiving. Some have had so much going on themselves they're oblivious. Others have left.

Family's bound to stick around though. And here's a big Thank God, not only are they bound to, mine actually do =) Without my family I'd be nothing. They're the best friends I could ever wish for.

And having good friends...is the best things in life.

Living across the ocean far away from some of them doesn't make things easier at all. They probably think I've forgot about them. When in reality I miss them most of all.
