Deep Breath. One, two, three – go!
Okeli dokeli, with a two week delay here finally a roundup of the time from pre-Christmas–Copenhagen until last weekend. I've been meaning to post the 'happenings' earlier but like I stated before, I'm pretty much exhausted at the moment. Words can't describe how much I'm looking forward to a weekend of complete and utter nothingness. No work, no going out, no stress. Just 48h of sleep, maybe a movie or two and some relaxed drawing. Hhhmmmmm.
Aaaanyways. The landing after my chaotic leave from CPH marked the start of ten semi-relaxed days at home. I say semi because certainly the times of just kicking back at my parents place with no to-do-list in my head and being a total slob for a week have long been lost since high school anyway. But especially so when I haven't been home in over four months.
So there was family business to attend (with my dad dropping an average size bomb by telling us he maybe wants to sell the house), Christmas to celebrate (with a whole day of gift-wrapping prior to that), friends to visit (with our traditional Raclette feast, which was again awesome! Thanks guys!), my favorite jogging route to run and some sleep to catch up on. Unfortunately and even though I
did want to chill as much as possible, I didn't get to see the Erlangen crew as much as I would've liked due to different schedules and sickness. Still, it's always good to be home, see some familiar faces and spend time in well-known surroundings.
On the 29th I was off to Norway again. After landing and having made my way to the apartment, I had exactly half an hour of chilling time before having to head back to the train station to pick up the Darmstadt mob.
Damn, it was good to see the guys again! Some of them I hadn't seen for a whole year, some almost two. Within minutes my room was a mess, the kitchen was a mess and the first shots of vodka had been drowned. Yes, as promised, they had brought a huge friggin' array of alcoholic beverages :) . Falko popped the champagne bottle and some big news, we had a nice improv-dinner and a whole lot of catching up to do. It was a bit weird to see all these guys together again – in my Oslo apartment – but fuck yeah, it was just as cool :D !
The next days were spent with lots of fun fun activities. Exploring the city with dawn always on our heels (getting up at two, when the sun starts going down at half past three ain't the smartest idea). A quick tour of Bleed. Picking up the missing crew member. Buying 'condiments'. Drinking. Cooking. Cuddling. More drinking. Making fire. Gambling. Chilling. Snoring. And of course: celebrating New Year's Eve with a nice big dinner, indoor skateboarding, standing on a smoky hill, losing that crew member again, dancing, crying, freezing, hang-overing and puzzling. But that's a whole different story...
At the very 'verstrahlt' morning of the 2nd of January all except one already left the building again. And on the day after that I had the apartment (almost) to myself once more. Sniff. Took the Sunday to relax, then three days of work and then my sister was already waiting at the airport to be picked up. More about that some other time.
For now just two pics and some big shout-outs to my boys. Thank you guys so much for getting your shit sorted, actually making it over here and spending some quality time! So good to see all of you! Much love.
And next time around we'll get the other Korean to come as well... ;)
