New Year's trouble
I was going to make a last minute decision on whether I should join a colleague and his friends at a club for New Year's Eve or just stay at home and have an all night "The Office" session. Unfortunately, I already plowed through all the seasons my brother gave me for Christmas so the decision has pretty much been made for me. Shame on NBC for not producing more episodes!

This means that not only will I venture into a uncomfortable social situation voluntarily but I will also pay good money to be subjected to hundreds of strangers who let a solar calendar dictate their mood for partying. I can only hope to get lucky and be killed by a stray firecracker before the clock strikes midnight.

In unrelated news, my flatmate K is telling her friends that living with me is like living with a ninja. This either means that I make very little noise or that she thinks that I'm an assassin. You decide.

Escaping from the culture shock
It's been a very efficient move. The boxes are unpacked, I have a resident permit, a Danish social security number, a current AND a savings account and I even signed up for Danish lessons. However, I still haven't figured out how to buy tokens for the washing machine or where exactly the washing machine is situated in this building.

Granted, it's been less than two weeks since my move but I still expected it to feel more like home by now. It doesn't help that my flatmate probably thinks I'm a loner freak who's secretly in love with her 40" TV and kills Mother Earth with her 5-layered non-recycled toilet paper.

That's probably the reason why I spent an inordinate amount of money on a plane ticket o go to a housewarming party in London this weekend. Incidentally, a lot of the friends that will be at the party are people who live in Copenhagen. It wouldn't be life if it made sense.

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.
