Today was the anniversary of something that happened 4 years ago for me. The first anniversary of this day for the other person involved was a surprise. They had not expected it. There was slight deal made the second year. The third year it was on my mind the whole day but the deal was made from the other side. This year there is little to no communication. This was saddening. It was my fault, I was a dickhead over the weekend. If I had not been a dickhead, a joke may have been made. It probably wouldn't have gone down to well because there really is little communication. Sometimes being civil can take a lot out of you.
That said, today was a good day. I got to hang out with a new person, I will be hanging out with them at the weekend also. I also hope to have good news tomorrow that was related to today but will wait to hear it myself first.
Tomorrow will be a good day. I'm going to hang out with Amy in Copenhagen before she gets her flight home. I would guess she is looking forward to hearing an Irish accent and to be able to talk at her speed and not worry if she will be understood. I am looking forward to that but I haven't slowed down my speech while here. Might have to repeat myself a bit! I still need to find out from her how she was traveling from Umeå since it seems to have been a bus, a plane and a train. Nights in hostels in different cities and another plane. Maybe she just wants to see Copenhagen. The Climate Change talks are on in Copenhagen at the moment. I have only been over there twice since I first saw the sign for Hopenhagen, the first time they were just setting everything up and today it was snowing so I didn't feel like having a noisey around. Maybe tomorrow. It does look impressive. That green ball in the centre of the picture is one of the main items on display. It's like a world projector screen. There has been riots in Copenhagen because of these talks but I live in my own little bubble and don't really know any details.
It was also pretty disgusting out but it was snow, I like snow. I do however want it to stick, which it did not. It kinda looked like it was sticking on the other tracks as I was getting the train back to Malmö. There was no snow when I got back to Malmö.
I have had the feeling all last week that this week was going to be good and that everything will be alright. Last week was a good week and this week has been ok. The weekend was awesome but there has been some repercussions. I saw Matt & Kim, they supported The Sounds. Matt & Kim were awesome, they are the happiest people playing music. I really enjoyed them. The Sounds put on a decent show but are very much like the other bands in their genre. The lead singer has Karen O's wardrobe. Malmö is their home town so I would have like to see something great. None the less I was in great form heading to the every once in a while metal club that happens to have Karaoke! This is were it's fuzzy. I remember buying more than one beer, I do remember singing Billy Joel's classic "Pianoman", I am pretty sure I have also sang that at the marvelous Fibbers Rock Karaoke but that also could be fuzzy. I also remember talking to a friend of mine that was staying in my apartment this weekend at said metal club. I did not remember the texts that I had been sending to see were they coming to said metal club. I also do not remember singing the Police classic, "Roxanne" which I do remember an excellent performance of it at the marvelous Fibbers Rock Karaoke. I also don't remember being a dick to another friend of mine who happens to have a video of my "Roxanne" performance from the said metal club which I think has had them forgive me, I hope. I have a vague memory of being at an afterparty and then arriving home. Now the timeline of this night goes as follows, Matt & Kim 8pm, The Sounds 9.45pm, Distortion @Deep Nightclub 11pm, after party sometime after 5am ( i think), getting home, I had thought that was around 6am, actually it was 10am. 10AM!! I don't remember seeing daylight. I woke up and my clock had said 7.30. I then fell asleep thinking it was 7.30am. I woke a little while later and saw it was 7.45pm. The last time I lost a whole day was after my 23rd at which I had been drinking Jack Daniels at 9am, I saw the sun come up so that wasn't as bad. NO daylight, today is the first day that I feel alright.
This memory loss has happened too often since I moved here. I am actually worried for myself. This weekend was strange as I remember most of the night but certain parts are gone. Other times that this has happened, I remember to a certain point in the night and then nothing until I wake up. That can be the worst.
I am going to be home from the 23rd till the 4th. This will be the first Christmas and New Years which I won't be working in the last 6 years maybe, definitely worked every New Years over the last 3 years. I don't mind working New years but something tells me that I probably wouldn't be able to work on New Years this year. I do still hope that I will be able to watch Jools Holland's Hootenanny and have 6 Dutch Gold as that has been the case for the last 6 years.
The new year should be great, I'm looking forward to it. I have a place in a college in Malmö to start studying Computer Programming starting in January. The Swedish course that I have been applying for since I got here should hopefully start in January. I should have a new apartment to live in, and by should I will cause I have to move out of this one. And if all is going well I will have a new job. Here's hoping. Time has changed everything for me. I hate waiting for it to change.
