Lentil this
Mood:  happy
Topic: On tour

My stomach's really fed up with lentils by now. I couldn't even have breakfast this morning. Even though there were two entire rooms filled with just breakfast foods. Instead we went to more meetings, but at least I didn't sleep my way throught it as some did, hehe. And apparently some people were so sick from the food last night that they'd gone home.

When it was time for lunch, they didn't have any food for me. Even though the caterers have a veggie-ish café. But they suggested that I'd eat the...ta-daa, lentils on the plate and leave the rest. Instead we decided to hit Burger King on the way home. We ate, made a stop at the mall (B slept in the car in the parking garage) and stopped for some candy. Halfway home it started to snow, which probably fit our moods pretty good.

This was one tired girl this morning, but the breakfast buffe cheered me up a little and the (not great) latte helped a bit as well. We sat down and discussed (and listened) for the most of the day, with the exception for lunch (sea food salad) and coffee breaks. The afternoon was kinda slow, probably because I didn't really understand some of the technical stuff. Otherwise I actually managed to keep the attention most of the day. Yay me! In the evening it was time for dinner, at the same place as last night. But they'd promised us more food, bigger portions, this time. The dinner turned out to be calamares and then some kind of really really spicy African stew. I got quesadillas and the same lentil thing as last night. And a couple of glasses of a nice red wine. Australian, I think. Once again we had to skip the feature to check in. We gathered in one of our rooms, but one guy was missing. He was sick from the food. The rest of us decided to go somewhere, but we never made it past the hotel bars, which we researched thouroghly. We started off in the lounge, then, around midnight we examened the hot dog stand outside the hotel. They had langos, onions rings AND veggie hot dogs, so they had all the food groups I needed. Then we went back in, to explore the land unknown (the other bar).

Good day

This has been a good day. We didn't leave too early, we had to make a couple of stops to get rid of snow from under the car, but we had time. We even had time for the police, stopping us under the bridge next to the highway exit. We made it there, in time, said hello to some people and found out that we weren't actually staying there. Boy, were we glad we had a ride and didn't have to carry our stuff all over the city. We got lunch (a gigant bowl of soup, really good soup) and had some intresting conversations. Then a gigant coffee break buffe and more discussions. Then off to a restaurant for dinner. What we thought were entrees turned to be out the main course (mini spring rolls and some kind of lentil thing....and white wine, that did not go with the food). Unfortunately we had to skip the feature for the night to check in. They'd forgotten to schedule that in. We got a cab back to the venue and has a xider before trying to find an open shop (B forgot his BIG bag of toiletries). Went into a sports bar of some kind, had a beer and some Walkers, before getting into a cab and having them driving us to the store.

Even though the weather was terrible, I enjoyed the train ride. Just to listen to music and let your mind drift. It's just what I need.

Big city tour

Topic: On tour
I just followed some young boys who brought all the way to the crossing path thingy...where I met a girl in hotpants. In the snow. Weird place. Walked through the "hood", past stores with names like "Yuppienallen" and "Hemlyx" (an entire shop filled with Buddha's and porcelain dragons). Found the gallery and stepped inside. Had just about time to have a look at the guest book when a man showed up and interrupted me and just had to shake hands (very firm handshake) and discuss my name (Very pretty. He named his daughter the same.)  Had a look around at the colourful paintings (mother, daughter and...psycho bunny?) and then headed for the door when he was distracted by another man. Followed the crowd while smiling all the way. Walked passed some sort of castle and a church. I was happy just to see a Pressbyrå and an O'Leary's. Looked at some clothes and let my heels be loud as I walked down the street. Happy to be there. Happy to have seen the paintings. Happy to alone and to be me. No one around to tell me what to do or what to think or feel. For once. Ended up in an art's and craft's store where I bought a lot of expensive, unnesseccary crap. But I didn't care. For a minute I was an arts and crafts girl. Finally I went back to the train station (without getting lost a single time) and bought an overpriced sandwich and a really overpriced juice of some sort. Then happily got on the train and sat there smiling (until we had to stop in the middle of that garbage smell). 

Pizza?

You know you're back home when the guy next to you on the train is ordering a pizza, while still on the train.

Roadtrip
Mood:  not sure
Topic: On tour

I went on a roadtrip to a fair with "the gang" today. After about five minutes I was prepaired to jump out of the car. One lady was crying and shaking even before she got into the car 'cause she was afraid the driver would drive too fast. And then someone else was annoyed because the lady was complaining. And because it was too cold. And because she needed chocolate. Then there was the drunk. And a guy from Grängesberg. When we finally arrived I calmed down a little. Looked at males there, even though it's probably a stupid place to look for a rich husband, haha. Had some free chocolate. Ate at a confusing Chinsese place, and even had time for some shopping. As always. Haha.

Also forgot my handbag when we were leaving. D'oh!

Back

It was painful to get up that early again. But that's life I guess. The trip went well, except for the stupid cleaning man at the station, stupid ass, and the girl with the nail file, gave me chills. Forgot that schools starts today, ignored the kids and pushed my way to the front of the bus queue. Older's better hehehe... Had a shower and rushed over to my L :)
