Ooops..

Okay.. So, people are telling me, I should get around to updating my blog.. And maybe they’re right. I’ts been a while since I posted any updates, after all.. So since we’ve got some time to kill before Zascha, Iben and I are heading off for a spontaneous dinner together at Bones, we figured, I’d do it now.

So, what’s been happening? I suppose most importantly, I’m not 24 anymore. Actually I turned 25 almost a month ago, I suppose that proves how lazy I’ve been when it comes to updating this thing.. Whoops! Anyways, yes, the dreaded 25.. I finally made it! And it’s not that bad after all, really.. Sure I feel tired, spend, my body’s aching in all sorts of weird places.. But other than that? I’m peachy, Lucy, the world is my oyster!

Oh and I had a really good party, too. Or actually more than one. In true drunken idiot fashion, we started the party on Thursday at Dunkel’s and had one hell of a blast which involved amongst other crazy things a five man moshpit to the tune of Soulfly’s “JumpDaFuckUp!” Crazy-ass shit but fun none the less I’d tell other funny stories, but for some reason, I don’t really remember that much.

The party continued on Friday.. I’d promised myself not to drink too heavily that day, though, as my mom had promised to drop by at 10 AM the next morning (my actual birthday) – but still, I was turning 25 at midnight, so something had to be done, right? For me, this something involved an attempt of doing one last, crazy, irresponsible, youthful thing.. Namely downing four beers in 30 seconds.. This proved an insanely bad idea as I not only didn’t make it (sooo close, though) but also managed to nearly throw up in the process

At midnight, I was introduced to one of the stranger Danish traditions; apparently young, unmarried, Danish people who turn 25 are supposed to be drenched in cinnamon (I’m not too sure what this is supposed to represent, but apparently it’s endless fun for all those not turning 25 on that particular day). Anyways, Dunkel, who was once again playing the role of host, didn’t happen to have any cinnamon laying around.. So Iben took it upon herself to find a suitable replacement for cinnamon powder. As it turned out, the best thing she could find was onion powder and black pepper.. Blargh.. For the record, being drenched in water, onion powder and black pepper isn’t much fun at all! Oh the woes of turning 25..

Saturday, my real birthday, was a mixed experience. I stumbled out of bed, still smelling of onion and God knows what else, stumbled into the shower, got dressed up and made it just in time before my mother showed up with breakfast.. She turned out to be in a less than good mood and left again after about half an hour after bursting into tears.. Lovely! Oh well, I spend the afternoon on the couch and doing a bit of cleaning. At around 5 PM, Iben showed up for dinner and a little later Ricki and Morten showed up for beers, booze and other good stuff.. After a while the rest of the crew showed; Robert, Zascha, Emelie, Dunkel, Penny.. I’d have invited more but was rapidly running out of space

The night went surprisingly well. As could be expected, there was a bit of drama (there’s always drama on my bday), but other than that, things went great and the festivities eventually moved on to the uboat where we kept the party going till well past 4 before Zascha and I ventured on to get some food and eventually went home. I was in bed by about 6 am after cleaning up after my guests and Morten who had passed out on the couch.

So yea, that’s how to properly celebrate a 25th birthday, I guess, by partying non-stop for three days straight.. Lovely!

So what else has been going on? Surprisingly little, really.. More partying, hanging out with friends and enjoying the last bit of our summer holidays.. Getting ready to start school next Monday which should prove interesting. Hopefully that also means I’ll have more time to update this blog.. Hey, I gotta do something while in class, right?

For now, I’ll just sign out.. I’m hungry as hell, and we’re off to have dinner soon!

Later, peeps!
