This saturday I did something I've never done before. I officially moved in with my girlfriend to her place north of stockholm! It's nothing definite, I still have my old apartment in working condition so I can always do a rollback on this if it doesn't work out but so far it's going really well :) Had someone said in february that I'd meet a woman and move in with her within 6 months they'd been crazy all over! But here I am. And loving it!

| Sharks! |
|
Written by Kristoffer on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Yesterday I saw a movie that got me.. emotional. In many ways. It was called "Sharkwater" (IMDB link) and was a documentary about sharks, but not in the average way. It began by dismissing all myths about sharks being evil and human-eating killing machines and did a pretty good job of that. Then it went on about the food chain in the ocean and spent a large portion of the movie dealing with illegal shark fishing for the fins going to the asian market. It got me pretty damn pissed off seeing it. I'm not the most environmentally friendly person and even though I make a few contributions to Greenpeace but I'm not that into it. But I still got pissed at it. If we won't stop simply for the humanitarian reason of dismembering sharks and throwing them back into the ocean then do it for the very environmental reason of them being so vital for the oxygen production in the oceans! Never knew this was such a big thing and I really don't know if I should take everything in this movie at face value but it still got me going.
But it was all done with some incredible underwater footage that was just awesome!! Go see it!!

For years now I've been driving by a place called Flottsbro without bothering to really check it out but this saturday me and Helena decided to check it out. We packed a Subway lunch and headed off! The weather was ok at first but got a bit cold so we couldn't do all the activities they had there but we played some crazy golf and just walked around enjoying the scenary and having our lunch on a small pier. As usual when we're together - a kick ass weekend! And if you wanna see some cute pictures, go here!

I guess I forgot all about this place again! Everythings been so hectic recently, have had a full schedule for weeks now. Not that I'm complaining really. But me and my Helena are getting along nicely, I'd think that by now we'd start to see the bad sides of each other and just say "maybe this wasn't meant to be". But we're not, and it is! Seriously, everytime I'm around her everything else just goes away and I can't think straight. Love it! :)
And two weeks ago we went to see her brother and his family, what a crazy hilarious bunch that was. Loved that too.
And now I'm loving being on vacation, having time to catch up on movies, tv series and gaming. Unfortunately I peaked 98 kilos two weeks ago so I went out and bought me a copy of Civilization : Revolution for the Playstation3 and got up on my bike again.Down to 94 again abut I really should try to get below 90 for the first time since my teens.

Not much to report right now. Things are going on nicely at work and I'm falling more and more in love with my Helena! The only one little thing is I'm wondering where tha hell all my free time went!? When I could play Warcraft 6 hours per day, when I could lame about or have a Star Wars marathon!? Right now I don't know when I'm gonna have time to ever to the raids that I used to do in Warcraft or stuff like that. But I'm not complaining, not at all! 'Cause I'm crazy in love! :)

| Awesome weekend! |

Think I may just have had the greatest weekend of my life. It was just awesome! Had the party animal in me been in charge I would have gone to a party on friday and although that may have been fun it would have ruined so much more! I still remember a birthday a few years ago when I was so hungover it was embarrassing. So friday we had a BBQ premiere on my balcony (after checking up I was actually allowed to!), and on saturday we went home to my parents for some stuff and alot of birthday cakes and then back to my place for even more BBQ and on sunday it was time for the Eurocup warmer sweden vs. Ukraine that I went to see live thanks to my sister and then fell asleep holding the woman I love and even better - woke up when she served me breakfast in bed. Thankfully I didn't have to be at work until 12!!
Thanks everyone for making that weekend the weekend to remember! And happy birthday me!

| Coolest job? |
|
Written by Kristoffer on Friday, May 30th, 2008

One of the coolest jobs in Sweden has got to be person planning state visits in Stockholm. Right now we have an international delegation here in Stockholm, spearheaded by Condoleezza Rize, to talk about the Iraq issues (as if there's any new issue there, it's getting really old!). And how cool is it to sit in a comfy office chair with a layouot of greater Stockholm and plan what parts of the town to shut down, what roads to block, how many hundreds of police to put where! It's gotta be great cause no matter what everyone, and I do mean everyone (short of the military) just falls in line and do whatever you can come up with! Even the thousands (and I was there so take my word for it, it was thousands!) of people stuck in the morning rushhour traffic when they blocked off a few blocks in Stockholm city because their motorcades where leaving, and we all just put up with it!! And they even opened up the emergency roads that are suppose to be used for ambulances, police and firedepartment, not a problem! That one day I had decided to take the car to work cause I was going to Ikea straight after and it took me 2 1/2 hours to get to work when it usually takes me 1/2 hour.
That has got to be the coolest job! Just saying "let's block off Klaraberg at 7-9 am" and noone there to tell you "dude, that's gotta be shit for thousands of people driving to work!" or "technically that road is only for code 3 response vehicles..."

| Getting used to being in a relationship |
|
Written by Kristoffer on Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Everyone who's know me long enough knows that I can't keep a relationship going for more than a few months. But this is quite something, I can't seem to go wrong in this one! No matter what I've done so far, even those times when my mouth keeps talking and my brain yells "shut up!" she just smiles and says she loves me. So now I'm trying to get comfortable in this relationship cause it's gonna be a while I hope! 'Cause yesterday was weird. For the first time in ages I was home alone and it felt great, I could finally catch up on this and that, great!, then she texts me and asks if she can come over. Initial feeling was "so much for that evening of looking after number 1" but when she actually got there it was like there was no other place I'd rather be, no other thing I'd rather do than to lie there in my couch watching the Eurovision song contest qualifying holding her. And this morning was really sucky when I had to get up to work and here I am and the only thing I can think of is that I have the most amazing woman ever waiting at home for me!... I don't wanna work...

| I was only kidding, I love those teacups! |

As most people understood yesterday's little post was an internal joke, I really don't mind those teacups even if I have no idea how to play teaparty, I must've missed that bit of my childhood. But it feels pretty good that we have now reached the point where it's no longer "me and you", it's "us"! I like that.

My girlfriend really needs to grow up of that little bubble she lives in 'cause if she pulls out that tea set with those cute flowery teacups again I'm going bananas, enough is enough! I really do feel too old to play teaparty, jesus H christ woman, get some friends to do that for you cause I can't take it!!

| Nice guys really do finish last |

As you may know when I was in Barcelona I borrowed my jacket to a woman who'd forgotten hers at the hotel and as a result I lost my credit and ID card. So that's what I got for being the gentleman! I immediately called my bank and had that card blocked and after an hour I realised that being the stupid people swedes are just because I block it doesn't mean I automatically get a new one so I called again to make sure to put in an order for a new credit card. And thus I waited patiently for a new card but this morning I had to get some cash so I tried using my gold card but NOPE! the ATM machine snipped it and said "contact your bank". So I did and as it seems I had both my cards blocked instead of just the one card. But that's a small problem, the new card should arrive today or on monday right?.. "what new card? you haven't ordered any new card?"... So I had to order them AGAIN! and wait 5 more days to get new cardS! That's what I get for waiting patiently! Ofcourse I do have more credit cards to use until then but it's just big annoyance when stuff like this happens and you are reminded that nice guys really do finish last! I could have been an asshole and yelled at the poor girl and ruined her friday, but I didn't. And I'm not even gonna take bets for if I'm actually getting new cards this time...

| Back to my kick ass life in sweden! |

Written by Kristoffer on Monday, May 12th, 2008

And now I'm back to my kick ass life here in sweden after a few days with rain in Barcelona. After some shopping we got on the plane, bored for 3 hours, then had the worst landing ever, and for the first time in my life I had a girlfriend that was waiting for me at the arrivals-zone in Arlanda!... or I would have had she managed to sort the parking out, but it's the thought that counts! Then a small BBQ dinner with her parents and then just hanging out, talking and just holding eachother and how wonderful it felt. I love my life right now! And today I woke up next to the most beautiful woman in the world .. and I left her there cause I had to go home and see the recording of the F1 race from sunday! It sounds terrible, I know, but come on, there is no way in hell I'd been able to go all day today without hearing the result somehow!? And now I'm here at work updating my image gallery and saying "good times" :)

| The little dent in my happiness |
|
Written by Kristoffer on Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Everything was great down here. Yesterday evening it got a bit cold and one of my female collegues forgot her jacket so I, being the perfect gentleman, borrowed her my leatherjacket. Then after the dinner she went off on her nightly escapades (and me on mine) and this morning I got my jacket back ... minus the credit card and ID card I had in my pocket. We're assuming someone stole it when she handed it in at one of the nightclubs. Anyway, card is blocket and I had to file a report with the police down here because of the ID card and now we're back on track, going to lunch now then go around town and a posh dinner tonight and wild night after and tomorrow back to Stockholm. Everything is great, except for that little dent and the fact that I miss my girlfriend. (I love saying that :))
Not even the non-stop rain is getting me down :)

So here I am, having one kick ass weekend after another. I don't know how we're doing it but every weekend seems to be the best weekend ever all the time right now. At first it was just the "young and in love" hormones but now 2 months after it's still best ever. Saturday BBQ with my trekking friends, really nice! Sunday, just relaxing, doing some garden work and... just enjoying being with each other. And this week is gonna be the most stressful ever, going off to Barcelona on thursday and home on sunday afternoon. I really shouldn't since there's so much going on but who can say no to a free trip to Spain!? :)
"The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades" indeed.
