(no subject)

Vaknade upp un. kl. 15. Jag tycker att jag skulle börja att skriva på svenska igen. Problemet är att de som ska läsa den här kan nog inte svenska. I alla fall...

Jag vaknade upp sen och åt museli och drack två koppar kaffe och tittade på ett program på TV-n om svenska symboler. Det berättade varför det finns tre kronor på sveriges riksvapen: de tre kronor förekom som en svensk symbol under 1300-talet och de symboliserar de tre visa män som besökte Kristus i Betleham. I senare år, kom de att symboliser andra grejer också, t.e. förening mellan Sverige, Danmark, och Norge. Programmet betraktade också den svenska flaggan. Bara den danska flaggan är äldre, och sveriges flagga förekom som en motsvar till den danska flaggan. Jag tycker att det är mycket intressant att vänliga medborgare flyger den nationell flagga bara i Norden och i de Förenta Staterna. I de andra länder, flygs flaggan bara på officiell grunder.

Oj, vad skulle jag göra idag? Jag sa till den rumänska tjejen att jag ville gå på den techno-fest vid Helsingkrona Nation, men eftersom jag gick ut igår kväll, känner jag inte att gå ut ikväll. Så, jag ska nog stanna hemma och göra ingenting. Så spannande!

night out with rose

tonight someone buzzes my room, repeatedly. i go out to see who it could
be, and it's rose. ``wanna go out?'' she asks. i haven't seen rose in
months; after being such close friends over the summer she just
disappeared. ``yes,'' i say. i grab my jacket and we go out talking
about what we did over christmas and stuff like that. visit krischansta
nation, but they're not open yet. it's only six. we walk down that street
towards kalmar and walk in to see if they're offering dinner. it's obvious
they're preparing for a sittning, requiring reservations, but we ask
anyway, in english. they're very friendly and encourage us to come next
week. we walk through lundagård and go into a pub at martinstorget
looking for food. they don't have any food so we leave, and decide to go
to the thai restaurant. the thai restaurant is full and most of the
tables are reserved, but i know a guy who works there and they let us wait
on a couch in the back. soon we get a table and we have a nice dinner,
finally some really spicy food! rose puts sweet-and-sour sauce in her
green tea. after dinner we walk back through martinstorget. it's cold!
i suggest ice cream, thinking mcdonalds, but we walk into the nearby 7-11
and get ice cream bars and chat it up with the guy who works there. he's
not the guy we know but we have a nice chat. next time i'll ask him his
name and then i'll know two people who work at the 7-11. the ice cream
tastes really good. we walk out of martinstorget towards tunavagen, to
see if we can get into hallands nation before they start charging a cover.
on the way we find an umbrella in a bush. it was super windy today and
the umbrella had obviously taken flight and gotten caught in a bush. the
umbrella is totally destroyed, and looks comically tragic. we have a good
laugh at our found piece of art umbrella and take it with us. we come to the medical
student union, a nice house on tunavagen that has good brunches on
sundays. they're having a formal dinner upstairs but we see a sign that
says that `pub locus' is open in the cellar. of course we decide to check
it out, and we walk through the yard and down the steps towards the
cellar. inside there's a joyous bunch. it's really crowded but everyone
seems very happy. rose looks around to see if there's anyone she knows
from her choir. we notice one guy is wearing a towel. then we suddenly
notice that everyone is dressed in pajamas. a medical student pajama
party at the pub! isn't that adorable? we reflect on how much we'd like to
be a part of it, but how much we aren't. so we leave the cellar and
continue walking down tunavagen and eventually we get to hallands. sure
enough it's open, and furthermore it's happy hour, so we have some cider
and some whiskey and a very good conversation. eventually the disco starts
and we dance. it's good, although a bit too crowded. it's about 1:30am
and we decide to leave. rose collects her dillapidated umbrella and we
walk home towards delphi through the snow which just started falling. as
we walk the streets change from black to white. i want to walk through lth
to see if there's a party at VV-huset. they usually have good, fun
parties, with lots of fun people to meet. or maybe there's something going
on at loftet? but rose wants to get back to delphi so we skip that plan.
once back at delphi we go our separate ways. it was a nice night; nice to
see rose again, and to go out and have spontaneous adventures.
