Halloween

Saturday we decided to go gothic, inspired by Ben and Lindsey's history in the goth scene. Me and Maria went out and got black outfits, gloves and dog collars - adding a bit of makeup and we were ready to go! First to Bedminster to check out Ben and Lindz's new gaff, then off to The Hatchet; home of goths, punks and other mischievous creatures. We were way too happy and bouncy to fit in among the goths though, our serious moments lasted for about 3 seconds.

The reason why we don't make good goths - happiness!

Sunday evening and I'm just back from the first floorball training with our new team. Me and a few other guys decided to break out from Trowbridge and create a Bristol team as we got fed up with the attitude of some of our old team mates, and the first training looked promising. I reckon we will have quite some fun playing together!

Not a Real Girl

Today as I was out walking I was suddenly hit by a wave of nausea. I'm not sure if it was triggered by the thought of a long-term relationship or the fact that I stepped into a shopping mall. Most likely a combination. I had to sit down, get some fresh air and calm my nerves. 

I went out to buy a dress, but only managed to walk through a few shops as I felt rather sick and panicky as soon as I entered them. Also, my i-pod was out of batteries so I couldn't distract my mind from where I was. I managed, with a lot of focus and determination, to buy some underwear. After that I bought a Pepsi-Max, went out and called it for the day. In one of the shops I noticed a nice sweater, but saw no reason to buy it as I already have 5 functional ones at home. Apparently I'm not a real girl. 

On my way home later in the afternoon, believe it or not, I actually managed to buy a dress. I'm not sure it's a nice model, or if the colour's right, or if it's at all in fashion. It's lying in the hallway and I feel a slight resentment towards it, maybe because I feel I now have to wear it.

Sickness

I woke up this morning at 07:35, light still on and the phone still in my hand. I felt rough, remembered I forgot to set the alarm and went back to sleep. 3 hours later I dragged myself out of bed, head pounding and body aching. Had some yoghurt, realised I had no appetite, took 2 Paracetamols and went back to bed. I called in sick.

I have felt better. My mind is spinning, I wish it would go to sleep.

The Little Things

Things I will miss when I move away from England.

• Asking for normal tea, everyone knowing exactly what that means (English breakfast, milk no sugar).
• My oversized Homer Simpsons slippers
• Insulting Welsh people by mistaking them for being English
• My Norwegian duck down duvet
• Pubbing on weekdays
• Rugby
• The panic caused by the tiniest little snowfall

Change

First blogging on my new computer and I love it! My old one is probably still trying to start up since I turned it on 20 minutes ago. It's been time for retirement too long now, I should let it off before it kicks the bucket. 

Today was fun, slightly frustrating and very confusing. I'm talking about the first friendly floorball game of the season. Our team consisted of 15 players with a variety in experience, skill and nationality. In the end, the few of us who have been playing in proper teams before could do nothing but shake our heads and laugh. It was terribly unorganised and the amount of people shouting change throughout the game was ridiculous. The league is starting in 2 weeks time, and boy, will that be interesting!

This video makes me happy, although the music is terrible!
