Would you look at this?! I’m way too excited for my own good. There’s still a week left until the premiere and I keep forgetting my own birthday because of it. How weird is that? Great cast, too. Harrison Ford - obviously, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent .. God, it’s going to be great! The Indiana Jones films are some of my all-time favourites and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed this time either.
I went to see these guys in Copenhagen last night. This footage is not from last night, obviously, but the concert was just as awesome as it looks in the video. I must say, any band that can incorporate gas masks, oil drums and a hips-and-ass-shaking lead singer into their music is cool in my book!
Take your pick. Okay, maybe it’s not as bad as all that - but it sure feels like it. Why, oh why, do I have make a fool of myself whenever it involves him? I sent one text message and now he thinks I’m the biggest freak on Earth. ARGH!
Much (and at the same time not that much) has happened since the last time I posted and I’d rather not go into detail with it but it involves a fancy dress party at our school some Fridays ago and then the “big” Rock Grand Prix finale last Friday after which I had too many beers, got home, tripped over our garden gate and sprained something in my foot. So yeah, it’s official - I’m never drinking beer again. Partly because I feel like an alcoholic and partly because my foot hurts like you wouldn’t believe it but mostly because S. has been giving me the cold shoulder again.

I don’t know why I didn’t stay for longer. It was surprisingly difficult to get on the plane back home. And I’m not just talking about the technical difficulties. Four days was nowhere near enough for us to explore and enjoy the greatest capital in the world.
Trudging up and down Oxford Street and Regent Street, visiting Starbucks a few times too many in one day, seeing Prince Charles at the Odeon and watching The Darjeeling Limited in Prince Charles Cinema the same day (we found it very amusing), walking from Pimlico to Trafalgar Square and back even though our feet were killing us, people-watching at South Bank next to London Eye, mocking all the other Danes we saw and heard around us in Covent Garden, playing on the swings in Hyde Park, spending too much money on food and not enough on actual things and finally getting lost in Notting Hill - I loved every minute of it. I want to go back. Now, please.
I have decided to give up on the cowboy. Something at the party on Friday made me realise that he couldn’t possibly be interested in me. I don’t know what it was but it suddenly hit me. Like a brick in the head.
It started at the party on 1st February (we really do go to a lot of parties, don’t we?) when I lent him money to a buy a beer. I had been feeling sick and miserable all day, so when he stepped dangerously close to me I automatically stepped back so I wouldn’t infect him or anything. Quite possibly the stupidest move ever. After that he gave me the cold shoulder, sort of. Then last Friday he barely spoke to me - I doubt that he was just playing hard to get. All I’ve thought about this weekend was, “I really screwed this up, didn’t I?”
Maybe it would have worked out between us. He made me feel special - at least for a little while. I only wish I could have been something more to him. I’ve come to realise that I can’t spend all my life waiting for guys who don’t want to be with me. I wasted two and half years doing that with Martin and now I’ve gone and wasted a year and a half on S. The saddest part is that Martin fooled me for more than a year while S. seems just as confused about this as me. But who knows? I’ll probably change my mind again tomorrow when I see him.
