Okay...I'm preparing for a long post here about the trip to Denmark yesterday...I just don't feel like writing it now (an hour before lunch). I think I finaly arranged pictures and banners and icons to look okay on my index page, but I guess no one cares but me about that matter 8)

I want to say something referring to my last post. I think...it's all coming back to me a bit. The need to be online. It felt funny..yesterday, in Denmark, I got these silly "I wonder if I could get online anywhere here?" thoughts...and it felt GOOD! I didn't feel bad for not being able to, nor did I actualy try to get on, but still. The past weeks getting online just...felt like going to the dentist. NO! Wait! I have a dentist appointement on friday so...I take that back. I just didn't have that itch to get on. I'd rather sit and read 40 minutes while waiting for my puter, than try and hassle someone so I could get a puter for 5 minutes while waiting. Now I'm suddenly bombarded with cravings to mail people, find crazy online sites, to get my own domain name (www.jennie.com was taken..blah. I am getting some domain name though, hopefully something outrageous...8). I want to snazzify my page..find out new gadgets I can abuse for my page (I found a place where I can provide an e-post card service form my page, using my pictures...so neat..it feels GOOD! *phew* I feel a lot better. Heehee 8)

I know I'm geeky, but right now I just feel...great 8)

Okay...yesterday:

Got up at 6 a.m...got on the bus...*shrug* At least I got a window seat. I like window seats because then I can huddle up by the window and look out, and make it generally feel like there's no one else around. I got a bit baffled when I realized people were already drinking beer, and it wasn't even 10 in the morning. *shrug*

11.10 a.m - we arrive at a medical museum. It was scary!At least I found it to be. All those medical instruments on display...ick. The bottom floor was devoted to things used on the psychiatric ward. The other's all seemed to not care, but I got all teary eyed and very emotionally upset, I mean..they had a bed with different types of straps displayed, and equiptment used for electric shock therapy. There was even a bathtub with a special cover, with a hole cut out for the head, where the patient would sit and soak in a bath for 12-18 hours, strapped into the tub. *shrug*

Around noon we drove aboard the ferry, and went to..you know. Denmark.

At first we went to this mall type of thing. All the others rushed in to buy beer, beer, and more beer (It's a lot cheaper than in Sweden you see, as with other alcohol). Hmm? What I did? I went straight to their toy departement. I found glow in the dark stars! I bought the largest pack, with 30 stars...and then I found two stacks of Star Wars toys..AND A TV SET playing the movie! So basicaly I stood there, among toys, watching the last hour of Star Wars, clutching 30 plastic glow in the dark stars in my hands. After the movie I went to the cheese and other dairy products departement. They had a zillion different desserts and cheeses..and readily mixed chocolate milk (we don't have that 8() I bought half a litre. As I walked out, I noticed a bakery section, and bought a huge ginger snap. It was quite funny. 40+ swedes already semi drunk on beer, carrying more quantities of beer to the bus, and me, eating a ginger snap, drinking chocolate milk.

Then we drove into the town we were to shop more in, Helsingoer. I rushed into a tattoo parlor, and found two images I wanted (japanese sign for 'woman;female', and a tiny black gecko 8), only to be informed they only do pre-booked appointments, no spur of the moment things. Blah 8(. After that..I stumbled right upon a FALAFEL PLACE! I ran in, ordered a big one, and just..got real giddy. The guy making it apparently thought I was funny, being so excited over just falafel, so he started hitting on me (as in flirting. Not actual hitting, as there was a desk in the way anyways). I didn't quite appreciate it, as he looked 16, and asked if I went to school there 8(

Then I spent the following 3 hours looking for, and looking through 3 cd stores 8) I ended up buying Björk "Homogenic", SWANS "Soundtrack for the blind", and a PJ HARVEY BOOTLEG!!(pretty In pink...it was soooo good!) All and all. It was wonderful. I distanced myself from the others, and walked by myself, and just...felt great, even though I spent way too much money. On the way home most of the people were drunk, making really lousy smutty sex remarks about everything, laughing wildly about said remarks, as if they were real witty, arguing, necking, sleeping. I...starred out the window. I love landscapes by night...the lights of the towns swooshing by.

When I got home I listened to the cd's, fell in love with them, put up the stars on my ceiling above my bed, asked them to protect me from bad dreams, and went to bed with them glowing above me..they were still glowing when I woke up. They made me feel...all violently happy and safe =)

And now I'll go find some food to spend too much money on...food. I know. I'm npot even buying very fattening food, so...it's not that. I'm just..learning to enjoy things a little more.

Okay. I have..become addicted. *sigh* I'm addicted. I'm addicted to this clip of Tori Amos covering the Cure's "Lovesong". (T.O.R.I) I'm addicted to the PJ Harvey bootleg "Pretty In Pink". I'm addicted to my friends online. I'm addicted to writing html. (I don't understand it, in interviews I always read of how webdesigners etc are sick of all the typing of raw html code. That's the part I LOVE! heh. Maybe I am weird.) And..I'm addicted to Chocolate Coated Wheat Puffs - Peanut Flavoured. Incidently that's the name of the new KICKASS BAND me and Jessica (and Tetsuo;) started tonight.

I wanna be in a band 8(((((, but something tells me these online constellations will have to do. AH WELL. That's okay..because I can make .wav's and mp3's on my own you know..you never know...one day I might exist online as an..online artist. yes. ;) But FIRST I'm trying to break the 100 html document barrier for my page.

Gunna go buy 3 bags of Chocolate Coated Wheat Puffs - Peanut Flavoured now. Bye 8)

*sigh* I had this long post planned, and yet all of a sudden I looked up, and found I had 3 minutes to write it. Ah well. It's silly though, because I've been online for 10 hours and 45 minutes. It's not like I didn't have time...what I did? Well. I spent half an hour looking for good urls about Maya Angelou, because a girl I don't know found the poem, and asked if I had any info for her paper, and being the sap I am, i thought I'd help her out.

That reminds me of the time this 10 year old girl e-mailed me and asked me if I was the real Alanis, and she told me how she was my biggest fan and stuff...I felt really bad for having to say "No, sorry, I'm not", so I spent a day finding good url's and some fan snailmail addresses for the girl. I didn't hear back from her though. Ungrateful snotty kid, dontcha think?;) The rest of the day I spent downloading this entire page, including the Tori pictures onto disks, so in a case of a crash it'll be intact. 9 disks. 1 disk alone for this diary. hehehhehehe. =)
