I still heart CPH I'm in Copenhagen now and loving it, except for the bit of trying to fit the furniture that I had in my 45m2 Berlin flat into a 25m2 room with slated walls. Unfortunately, no internet at home yet, so to keep you entertained here's an email I wrote to myself a year ago and that I received a week ago:
The following is an e-mail from the past, composed on Friday, December 1, 2006, and sent via FutureMe.org
Dear FutureMe,
today is a special day: 3 weeks of anticipation built-up will (hopefully) dissolve into a warm fuzzy feeling when I go to pick up M at the airport.
I do not know what to expect from this weekend and my inner bachelorette is already protesting vehemently that she will be denied her well deserved exit from the world: being eating by her 40 cats after passing to the other side.
I am even less sure if I want to trade the emotional and mental stability of the previous 2 years of singledom with the turmoil of grounding your happiness in another person (especially a person who is an island away) but my mom agrees that it's time to quit the cradle snatching and to start dating more mature men (but only those who still have their hair).
So, FutureMe who knows of drama to follow this, I can picture you having a good laugh at the stupid naive girl in love while stroking cat #37 but with it please also think back of the constant grin she had been wearing during the 3 week wait.
Happily yours, A
PS: Talking about quitting, did you manage to stay off the cigarettes? Did you get incredibly fat by doing that? This would explain the cat fetish.

Back from the fleshpots of humiliation So speed dating... even more punishment than dream f*cking a fat middle-aged mobster and by far more surreal. Also, the women were stuck at their tables without waiters so I lacked the appropriate social lubricant after my complementary glass of Prosecco. Most of the conversations were about as much fun as knitting a sweater out of tapeworms while the strain of trying to act normal in an artificial setting turned me an unbecoming shade of red. I was glad when it was my friend B's turn at my table to start the best conversation of the evening.
Me:[fake introducing myself] Hi, I'm Annie. How are you? B: I'm B. Me: Hi, B. Oh god, where did you get the alcohol?! Gimme that! B: I got an Asian fetish. Me: And I have an Aryan fetish. B: Right. See, I'm not so much into breasts. So you'll just be fine. Me: Do you have any hereditary diseases in your family? Heart attacks? Mental illnesses? Diabetes? B: Nope. Me: Cancer? Drug addicts? B: No. Me: Good, good. Would you rather have a cat or a dog? B: If I had to, a cat, but I hate animals. Me: Oh, me too, except on a plate. B:[out of character] Oh, that reminds me, my vegan friend invited you to her birthday party next weekend. But you really shouldn't come and it's going to be boring as hell. Me: That's nice and I would love to come but I'm in Amsterdam that weekend. B: Phew, I really didn't want you to come anyway. Me:[back in character] I want your babies!
Among my eleven speed dates:, a "Dirty Dancing" aficionado, a painfully earnest (and potentially color blind) boy, a couple of guys that in my memory have morphed into a single specter of yawn, a "funny but ugly" guy, an IT guy that made a gagging sound when I told him what I did for a living the classic frat douchebag, and a hobbit.
To be fair I admit that I didn't come across as Heidi Klum with Mother Theresa's personality either. I had a little out-of-body experience and saw myself hovering over this stuck up girl that talked too fast and actually listed every single country she has lived in so far.
In the end, I ticked one box on the rating sheet, so stay tuned for next episode when we get to know if the people B and I chose also like us. It'll be all about "Why didn't he want to meet me as well?! It must be because I'm FAT!!"
