Okay, so it may be cold out today, but the SUN IS SHINING!! It's really a special day when the sun shines. I know it shines a lot in AL in the winter, but here in Denmark, it's usually just cloudy and gray most days.
Sam and I sat outside on plastic chairs, drinking tea! It was so delightful! I think I actually have a little sunburn on my face! I know, not something to celebrate, but I have missed the sun!! You guys just don't understand! It feels like Spring. I know it'll probably snow tomorrow, but I'm trying not to think about it. The sun really makes me happy and not depressed. Amazing. I just had to post about it!

Not much time to post, but as I was looking through my calendar today, I realized that I've been in Denmark for 7 months now! So for those of you who are counting down, that's 4 months left.

James is leaving the 12th, so this was our last Thursday at the bar with him. I'm going to miss him like crazy! He's always been here, and now he's going to be gone!! We're getting a new exchange student from Brazil with Rotary, so I have to be an 'Oldie' to her, like James was to me. I don't know what to tell her! I hope she's not hot! Everyone's going to love her more than me. People are going to say, "Have you seen the new exchange student? She's hott! She's also really good at Danish!" The Brazilians (and those exchange students who already speak 2 languages..and their native language isn't English) are good at Danish, because they're not timid to speak it. If they don't speak Danish, then they have to speak English. So either way, they have to speak a 2nd language to communicate with anyone else! Whereas, James and I can just speak English to get around! Now I understand why James' Danish isn't as good as I expected him to be! This should be an interesting next few months!

Hopefully I'll post pics from last night at Bykroen soon! I'm ALWAYS lazy...

EDIT: Okay, so I've been reading LJ entries and listening to all the hits on MTV, and I must say, this is the most homesick I have been since coming to Denmark. I just want to go home to see you babes. Right now, I don't think I can handle 6 more months. I know they'll go by fast, as they did for James. At the same time, a part of me feels bad for admitting this, because I need to enjoy my stay here. I'm having a great time and all, but I just miss you all too much. Eh, I'll feel better once I go to Sam's this evening..or maybe not..we usually end up bashing Denmark or talking about how homesick we are! Not exactly the smartest.

Lie to me.
Tell me stories so beautiful.
Give me something worth living for.

weird.

196 days

left of my stay here! I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Perhaps just a bit of both.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY (yesterday)!!!

I saw HARRY POTTER last night at the biggest movie theater in Copenhagen with James and Christine!!
I love Harry. I want to marry him!! I'm seeing him again tonight with T and D!! AND, we're going to eat fondue beforehand....

I made a pumpkin pie for my English class yesterday, because it was THANKSGIVING!!! The verdict: it tasted good, and some people actually asked for seconds!!

So the Haslev Library has a pretty good selection of music. I've checked out Ciara, Dashboard Confessionals, and Ben Harper recently, and just today I checked out Lifehouse and Badly Drawn Boy. Of course all the really good CDs get checked out before I get a chance (such as Jeff Buckley and Franz Ferdinand), but I'm listening to Badly Drawn Boy right now, and they are QUITE good. Anyone heard of them before? Their name sounded familiar to me, but it could just be all in my mind. I wonder if I can illegally copy any of these....

*Here are some rockin' lyrics from BDB...*

If we materialise the myth
Never trivialise the kiss
Oh it feels like there's no fire left in your eyes
This is how love dies"

Hej med jer!

2005-09-26T06:56:59Z

Hej!

First of all, I would like to apologize for slacking so much on my email. Last week was a bad week, and I really didn't feel like emailing. Because of that, I now have 30ish emails in my Inbox, some dating as far back as August 30. SO, hopefully I'll get on that. If not, then I will be screwed!

Why was last week so terrible? I don't know. I was just in such an odd mood. I was tired and wanted nothing more than to be home in the US--I actually daydreamed about my nice, cool, comfortable bed and my ability to get in a car and drive wherever I pleased! Nothing bad is happening here, I can tell it's just me. I wanted to be cut off from the world around me but, at the same time, not be alone. I wanted to be with people my own age and do crazy things and I don't know what else. I also haven't written in my diary for about a week...so I MUST catch up on that. Ugh, too much work. Therefore, I've pledged to make this week much better!

It's starting off well, because I got bunches of sleep last night. Also, I don't have to be at school until 9:45! AND when I get there, I won't have to go to Sports class, because that class is cancelled today (and is substituted with Religion...which is always fun)!! I bought the James Blunt CD on Friday (I probably won't buy too many CDs, because they are around $30...), and it is QUITE good. I recommend it, definitely.

Well, I need to go now. I'm going to bring James Blunt into the bathroom while I shower so that I can dance and sing while getting ready! That always brightens a dreary day (the weather has certainly been dreary this past week; perhaps that's affected my mood, too)! Keep checking your email, I just might have emailed you back!

By the way...my house here is going to a 'no English zone' starting today and lasting until I leave. woo. I can just tell that these next few weeks will be SO frustrating! You know how much of a perfectionist I am and how easily I am embarrassed. Wish me luck!

JEG ELSKER JER!

The perfect human.
12 Cruelty, 19 Anal, 34 Pushover

Congratulations. You're easy-going, friendly and know when to stand up for yourself. You're perfect. In fact, you're a little bit too perfect. Chances are, hoards of jealous people are plotting your demise at you read this. Tough luck, pal.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 0% on Cruelty

You scored higher than 0% on Anal

You scored higher than 58% on Pushover

My box finally came to Haslev's post office! It only took 7 weeks. I'm about to walk 1.5km to pick it up!

I know you might not want to hear it, but I'm having a marvelous time here. Denmark just relaxes me and puts me in high spirits. Don't get me wrong. Denmark's not perfect. It doesn't have you guys. The only place that feels like home is wherever you girls are, so that is a drawback about Denmark. If you were here, I would never leave. Again, don't get me wrong--I love the US. I think you get the idea of what I'm saying. The point is I miss you all terribly, and I cannot wait to see you next June. I don't know what I'm going to do when I see you. I might become paralyzed with excitement. Just I beg of you, don't ever lose touch with me. I fear that we won't be as close when I get back, and I don't know if I could ever cope with that. Hopefully I'm just over-worrying! I love you all!

This is a belated message to the fantastic Sonj, and a very appropriate message to Ms. Whitney:

TILYKKE MED FØDSELSDAGEN!!!!

Jeg elsker jer!! Have en god dag!!

What a weekend...

2005-08-21T14:39:23Z

Hej fra Danmark! I must say, these past few days have been amazing! Let me recap...

Thursday...
I was invited to Stephen's house for dinner. Stephen is in my drama class. His mom works with my host mom, so she invited me to come eat with them. Stephen's girlfriend, Kristina, and James, the Australian exchange student, came to dinner too. James is here with Rotary, so he changes host families 3 times during his stay. Stephen's family was James's first host family. I had a lot of fun! We had stuffed pitas for dinner. Later, we had some beer (yes, beer. It was good, not like American beer...) and played fooseball. Out of 3 games, I won once! We then watched Veronica Mars until about 10. It was quite exciting to finally hang out with people my age. James is having a party next Saturday, and he invited me. I'm definitely going. For him, anything.

Friday...
Friday was the best! It was the night of the school party, and a girl from my class, Lise, invited me to her barbecue before the party. My only problem was that I didn't have a ride to her house. Tinne and Dennis both had their own parties to go to, and Lise lived 11 kilometers out of town (not exactly walking distance). At lunch, Anne Kirstina offered to give me a ride! She picked me up at 5:30 and took me back to her house to get ready. She let me borrow a cute tank and a belt to wear. I really need some new, cute clothes. Her boyfriend picked us up at 6:30 and took us to Lise's. We were supposed to bring our own drinks, but I forgot mine (I was frenzied when Anne Kirstina came to pick me up. I couldn't figure out how to lock the front door. Before you call me a moron, you must lift up on the door handle before you're even able to lock it. It's quite confusing.). So at the barbecue, I drank some of everyone else's stuff. Therefore, I had some Pepsi Max, red wine, sweet white wine, and...Raspberry Twist Smirnoff with Faxe Kondi (the Danish equivalent of Sprite). Needless to say, I was drunk before the party even began. In Denmark, people like to 'skål'(say cheers) a lot. It just happened that everytime they 'skål'ed, I didn't have any alcohol in my glass. So, I had to pour some before I could 'skål' anyone. Wow, that was a lot of alcohol. My classmates got a kick out of me being drunk (they were pretty tipsy themselves). One girl from my class, Rebecca, came and talked to me. She told me how she thought I was so quiet and innocent. She was surprised when she saw me drinking and such. HAHA! She and I talked for some time, and she said I was awesome (although, I hope she remembers that. She had quite a bit to drink, too).

After the barbecue, Lise's mom drove us to the party at about 10. People helped me check my purse, because I wasn't quite sure how to do it. I found some more friends, and we headed onto the dance floor. I danced (like a fool, I'm sure), and I didn't care because I was drunk! A boy from my English class came up to me and told me that I was going to crowd surf in the next song, because they needed someone small enough to do it! I told him no! I suppose it would have been fun, but I didn't feel like it. I wonder if I'll ever get the chance again. Then, someone suggested we buy some beer. OKAY! I bought a beer, but I only had a sip of it. I was feeling VERY nauseaus and knew it was because of all the alcohol. So I ended up giving my beer to Anna Kirstina. I was drunk for about 2 hours or so. During that time I danced some more. I danced with a girl from my drama class and a girl, Anna, who's my friend. Then, I headed out into the hallway (because the dance floor was SO hot) and found Maggie. She was talking to the exchange student from France. Il s'appelle Baptist. He was very nice. I was drunk and enjoyed speaking French to him. He taught me how to say 'you are beautiful', which I already knew (tu es belle), but I loved hearing it from a native speaker! He's 17, which isn't too bad, but I don't know if I'm all that attracted to him. But hey! He speaks one heck of a sexy language!

After talking to Baptist, some guys came and started talking to Anna Kirstina and me. They were from the town Køge (which is about 20km away). They were a bit strange, but when you're drunk, you don't care! I went back to the dance floor and sort of danced with one of the guys. They played "Yeah", and I nearly died! I knew every word and felt so freakin' awesome! I love Usher!

Unfortunately, at that point, I began to sober up. I didn't feel like dancing like a fool, so I went outside with Anna Kirstina. She and I talked to Mathias from my class. He's so freaking cute, and I've never talked to him before. The three of us must have talked for 15 minutes until we got cold. We went back inside to get our things, because the party was ending. Baptist found me and brought me back outside with him. We started walking to a picnic table outside, when we were stopped by one of his classmates. I told his classmate I was from the US, and he thought that was freaking awesome! He said he was going to the US with his class. Of course I already knew this (the principal told me about this trip that one of the classes in the 2nd year gets to take to New Hampshire). I told the kid I knew he was going to New Hampshire. He freaked out. He was like, "How did you know that?". I told him that someone had told me already. He said, "Oh. But how did you know that?" He was very much drunk.

So Baptist and I left him and sat down at a table. The first thing he said to me in his broken English was "you're very beautiful". MELT! Then he said it in French--Tu es vraiment tres belle. SIGH. I sure hope he was hitting on me, or else I don't know what the hell to think. His host mom came to get him at 1, but before he left, he asked me to meet him on Monday for lunch. Hmmm...I wonder what will happen.

After he left, I met up with Anna Kirstina, Kristina, Katrina, and James to go to the local bar. We walked there, of course. Damn. James is super freaking hot! Unfortunately, he has a girlfriend. Of course. At the bar, everyone else smoked--even James (damn. Why does he have to smoke?). I was offered but didn't. We went up and got some shots. I had this really yummy caramel one. However, I didn't get drunk. James and Kristina played pool, and I ended poking James with the pool stick. I might as well have my fun, right? Well, Tinne came and picked up Anna Kirstina and me around 2:30. Anna Kirstina spent the night at my house.

Damn, what a fun night! I love being drunk, and I love Denmark! I can't wait for the next party!!!

LOVE,
Emily

I just got really excited. I forgot to mention that I found pictures of my town. Go here: http://community.webshots.com/slideshow?ID=48391172&key=ZBVHPo

It's a cute place. And I just typed in the name of my school in Denmark, and I found a website. And if you scroll to the bottom and click on "Broget aften se billederne", you'll find pictures of a HOT guy! Go here: http://www.haslev-gym.dk/

I hope that's actually a site of my actual town. It's not a big town, I don't know how it could have so many websites. OH well.

These pictures on my school site are HILARIOUS. crazy denmarkians.

Denmark...

2005-06-18T03:50:39Z

I HAVE A HOST FAMILY! They OF COURSE don't live on Jylland! OF COURSE! They happen to be 2 islands from it! I will be living with a young (30 year olds), married couple who have no children--Mr. and Mrs. Engslev! They live in Haslev, Denmark, which is an hour from Copenhagen by train. My town has a population of 12,000 people. We have public schools, a library, a cinema that plays one movie a week, a train station, and various shops. My host dad, Dennis, is an accountant in Copenhagen, and, in his spare time, he enjoys golf, books, and computers. My host mom, Tinne, is an elementary teacher in Haslev, and she enjoys dance, theater, and books. Together they like board games, friends, and family. GOOD NEWS: they speak English. My house was built in 2003, and it has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It is located 2km from the train station. This is ALL I know of my family. I hope things turn out all right with them. I know we'll get along fine, but they won't really be host 'parents'. They're not even twice my age! I guess we'll be more like friends. I've never lived with 30 year olds before--it'll be strange. I bet they'll be all modern, and hopefully they'll never cook any gross Danish food. They almost sound rich. They have 2 extra bedrooms in a house in Europe. Oh well, I hope it'll all be fine. I found out at 4:00 today that I had a host family, and I did not stop shaking for 2 hours. I'm so nervous. Today marks EXACTLY one month until I leave for New York. Good crap.

too bad I won't have Soren.

FREEDOM!!

2005-05-19T22:44:27Z

Wait for it....

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR THE SUMMER (and the rest of forever)!!
This means no more homework, people I don't like, stress, wasted hours (wait...scratch that one), and plays...at least for the summer!! And now there is more time for sleeping, shopping, money-making, cleaning, and organizing my life!! I've got roughly 2 months to organize my contact information, learn Danish, nanny for 2 kids, pack, and finally say goodbye to everyone. This is going to be an interesting summer.
I had an awesome lunch today with Andrea, Becky, Sonja, Jenny, Rachel, Jackie, Stephanie, Casey, Erica, Anelisse, and her cousin at Ruby Tuesday's! Then Becky and I ditched everyone and went to Bruster's! AMAZING. We enjoyed ourselves until the stupid Liberty kids started coming after school. They were so annoying. I've never heard so many hick accents and whiney people in my entire life. Oh well. Becky and I escaped to her house and sought refuge by her computer. We did a little stalking online....just kidding! Becky and I don't stalk people...that's absurd! Then I left, and, well, here I am!!
I've decided that I can probably keep my livejournal up while I'm in Denmark. That way, I won't always have to send out an email or something like that. I'll figure it out when I get there!

RANDOM: So here's a quote I found to be entertaining:
A question that drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
-Albert Einstein

Well, farvell (farewell)!

La liberté, c'est vivre dans la simplicité.

Have you ever felt so bored with life? It's not the people--I love the people. I just feel like I'm doing nothing. Nothing that I want to be doing. School-fine. Drama-fine. Nothing that I'm passionate about. I'm just so restless and unsatisfied with who I am at times. I firmly believe that life is what you make of it, and I just think I'm not making much of it. Sure, I'm incredibly busy ALL the time, but it's nothing great. I'm not doing anything of importance. I feel I'm capable of so many things, but I haven't done any of them yet.

Eeergh...I suppose I should brighten up and work on my econ project!!! I think that sentence was paradoxical. Boo. Perhaps I'll exercise and release endorphins. That could work.

Love,

Emily

18 days...

2005-03-06T18:46:08Z

Yet another beautiful Sunday filled with homework, television, and endless butt-numbing computer fun! However, this Sunday is going to be quite exciting! I get to work on my ECON project at Nierim's house in an hour!!! Could life be any more thrilling?! I HIGHLY doubt it!

To recap the past week:

Nothing happened until Tuesday. The school performances of This is a Test went over very well! It was amazing to have an audience that laughed! The cast fed off of their energy and had a blast!--this is why I love drama!

Nothing happened Wednesday, except that Craft left for SETC (which means wonderful class periods of doing absolutely NOTHING!!!). The best part of the day was when I headed to Andrea's house to sleep over with the girls, but I got there kind of late and missed PILATES!

Thursday was great!! I felt so free driving to Birmingham and navigating through Alabama's highways! It's the most freedom I've been granted by my parents, and I abused it as much as I could! Jenny, Becky, Andrea, and I enjoyed lunch and a little shopping at the Galleria. Then I brought Jenny home and headed to rehearsal for The Glass Menagerie. I'm worried about how that play will turn out. We don't have much time, and since the Madison Theater Guild is in its second year, I fear we don't have the money to do anything with the play. But everyone should still come out and see it April 29th and 30th! On the same note, everyone should come out Thursday night (March 10th) and see This is a Test!!

Friday was a blast! We are learning the Waltz at the dance class--and the Waltz is my absolute favorite ballroom dance!! Dave came too, because we have to waltz in The Glass Menagerie! HOW FUN!

Yesterday, I went shopping with Dave and bought a cute khaki jacket from Kohl's! He and I ate at Backyard Burger, and it was delicious! I also had lots of fun with the girls last night! There is nothing better than chick-fil-a, rainbow elementary's carnival, Starbuck's Tazo Matcha Green Tea, and hours of driving aimlessly (not being crazy stalkers, of course)--this is definitely my favorite!

And today is the marvelous Sunday! We'll see how today turns out...I don't see how it could possibly top the week I've had, but I hope it will!! By the way, 18 days until my 18th birthday(I'm just letting you know how many more shopping days you have)!

Love,

Emily

Why can't I be one of those cool kids who posts the longest blogs in recorded history?? OH WAIT! I'm Emily. I forgot. I don't need long, cool blogs.

(random 4 hours go by)

HA! YOU KNOW WHAT'S HILARIOUS?! I began this post at 4:28...it is now 8:41!! I suppose I'll finish what I began. Today was a very tiresome day. I was at BJ at 7 for Key Club, did the school thing, then the evil drama thing, then French Club. And I swear, either I've gotten weaker, or my bookbag is like 897798462 times heavier...gah. I got home and basically crashed on my bed. Then Dave came over, and we hung out for a bit. Then it was EB time! Becky and I headed to the mall to look for clothes for her and presents for someone (hmmmmm). But we had no luck with the presents--oh well! Now I have to go memorize my lines for This is a Test (we're performing it Feb. 28th--mark your calendars). I'm upset at how that play is going. Today was our first rehearsal for it (yeah, and we have less than a month to get it down!), and Craft wasn't even there! He was running around doing his own freakin thing...it really pisses me off!! He's not dedicated to this show, and then he'll yell at us for things! UGH! But I know it will turn out well, so come see it!

Goodnight all, sweetest of dreams!

finally...

2005-01-09T00:43:17Z

Wow. I've done it again. I've managed to take a huge break from livejournal and then return! This makes the 983234th time I've done this!
I don't have anything awesome or profound to tell you guys. I'm mainly posting because I'm bored and not in the highest of spirits. Eh, what else is new!?
I stayed up until 4:30 this morning finishing my AFS application. Okay, so it wasn't finished when I went to bed. So, I woke up at 7:30 and finished it. Then I went to Sci-Quest and picked up my letter of recommendation. THEN, my mom and I put everything in a large envelope and headed to the POST OFFICE!!!! There was a huge line there, but we did express mail and used a computer. It was sweet! OH, we saw Glenn there (he was getting a P.O. box)!!!!!
Once that huge weight was lifted from my shoulders, I layed down watching television!! I eventually fell asleep from like 3:30-5:00, but then I woke up to go to lunch with Jeff!! We went to Sushi Boat, and *the best part* he let me drive his Honda there!!!!!!!!!!! I can now cross that off of my list of things to do before I die!!! Sad, yes, but I DON'T CARE!! Now I'm going to make a mix cd of mellow songs. woot.

ADIOS PEEPS!!!

It's scary. I don't know what has happened to Emily, and who has taken over this body, but it's not me. I swear. I'm sorry for the way I've been behaving lately--major bitchfest. My plan for tomorrow is to SLEEP!!! I must get well. I'm so tired of feeling the way I do, and no one deserves to interact with that person.
Well, lately I've been really enjoying the poems we're reading in English. Today, we had to write a sonnet of our own. So here's mine. It's horrible, but I feel like posting it. (Keep in mind...it's Petrarchan and in iambic pentameter)

A brilliant smile shines from my weary face,
Shunning me from the pleasures of my day-
A suffocating cloud stalking my way.
I cannot flee from its joy-stealing trace.
Rhythm of my doubts keeps a steady pace,
Building a beat that numbs the heart, I say,
Ripping it apart to rest where it may
In the palms of my hands, adorned in lace.

This smile does deceive those who glance upon,
For it conceals the sad feelings inside.
It mocks those who take joy from its beauty.
And when I see another smile that's on,
I feel the pain the other one does hide.
For our smiles are all dying to be free.

Yep, so laugh if you'd like (but don't tell me it sucks)! Just for your information, this poem has a paradox and tons of personification! GEEK!

Adios,
EMS

What a day.

2004-10-28T22:40:44Z

Wow. Emotional day for me. Maybe today wasn't as bad as days I've had before, but let me tell you. The morning started out hectic. I woke up early so I could finish Lord of the Flies. Then, as I was out the door to go to school, I realized that I had forgotten to paint my toenails last night, and they looked like crap. SO I ran back in, grabbed the polish, and headed to school. I painted my toes at every stoplight on the way to school--such a rush. ANYWAYS . So I got to school and had to lug the Key Club candy upstairs to Mrs. Coker. Then I raced downstairs to finish the last 10 pages of Lord of the Flies before my test. Well, let's just say, the test sucked so hard. I know I failed. I'm not joking like I do when I think I made a B. I failed so bad. And the fun part? I READ THE BOOK (eventually). I was so pissed--It's not fair at all! GAH!! Then calculus happened...eh, boring lesson. The best part of my day came 3rd Block--DRAMA! We ran the play, and it relieved all of my anger--so fabulous. So choir was pretty fun. Jim and Patrick kept making fun of me (actually, Jim would talk to Patrick behind his folder, then both would laugh and look at me. Childish, yes. But I do believe they were saying actual things about me, so I'm slightly angered). But who cares? Not I. So yes, choir was fun until the fire drill!! SCORE I love the rain making my hair wavy and frizzed!! Eh, then afterschool, I had to go with Molly to find Mr. Craft so she could talk to him. Then, she and I went to French skit practice, where we stayed until 5:00. Wheeew!

Tomorrow's Friday. yay. I hope to go to rehearsal, and then go to Madison Academy's game and see TYLER!!

Adios, EMS

DAY 2

yesterday was fun! we woke up around 8 and got ready to head out for the day. We walked over to Café du Monde and had some beignets and some café au lait! C'était très délicieux (english: It was delicious)! It was fun, because there were so many people around, and we were sitting outside, and there was a man playing live music! After breakfast, we walked down the riverside towards the aquarium. We spent a fun-filled afternoon looking at fish, jellyfish, sharks, otters, and seahorses (and these REALLY awesome relatives of the seahorses called 'Weedy Seadragons' and 'Leafy Seadragons'. I want one.)! I found it to be tons of fun, but then again, i'm a big geek. Then we watched an IMAX movie called "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea". It was cool as well...they ventured to the deep ocean (it was so tense and exciting). We left the IMAX and decided to get lunch. So off we went towards the Central Grocer's Co. to get a Mufuletta (a really big circular sandwich that feeds 4 people and has all kids of meat and cheese and an olive relish on it). However, the store was all out of then when we got there. So we decided to eat at the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen. GOOD. We ordered their Spinach and Artichoke Dip (one of the best ever), and I got the Greek pizza...man it was good. After our late afternoon lunch, we came back to our place to relax. I worked a little on my paper. boring. Then around 8:00 we left our house to go to La Pineche for some dessert. Well knowing me, I ordered more than dessert. I wasn't hungry in the slightest, but I wanted something salty before i ate my Oreo Pie. Food is the devil. I'm glad (and a little upset) that i dont live down here...or else i'd be broke and fat (oh, but a girl can dream). Emily's going on a, uhm, "diet" when she gets home. HAHA. right.
