had a very quiet weekend, in order to recover from the last two weeks (loss of a friend, current job being stressful, not getting an interview from JET, in that order) and feeling much more like myself again today. went to fitness kickboxing class this morning and while it was really really hard, i feel so much better for having gone. truly, exercise helps a lot.

one of my favourite things to do at the moment, is to walk home from town, across the moors, listening to my iPod. it takes about 45 minutes, and is guaranteed to make me feel good at the end of it. i did so on monday: clear skies, sun, and a wide expanse of untouched snow. and me, tiny in the midst of it all.

maybe it's because i've felt so all-over-the-place recently, unable to keep up with everything, but i've felt a strong desire to organise my entire room to within an inch of its life. a few days ago i decided to re-decorate the wall over my bed, from a mess of photos and postcards:
to something a bit more organised:
if only the rest of my life was so easy to sort out!!!

on wednesday i found out a friend of mine, whom i'd met while i was living in tokyo, had passed away, very suddenly. he was only 23.
i never got to know rodger swan as well as i would have liked. he was an inspirational person: he knew what he wanted in life and he wasn't afraid to go out and pursue his dreams. he was kind, funny, and proud to be himself. the first i knew of him was really through his popular youtube series 'tokyo swan', which eventually would have over 5000 subscribers.
i couldn't continue my 365 project without saying something. i miss you, rodger. you made my world, and so many others', so much brighter. thank you.

i have a middle ear infection, which means that every time i move my head a lot, i get dizzy. so i am mostly staying still, and catching up on my favourite tv shows and the like. i'm finally watching glee. now i know what all the fuss is about!! i love it!!!!!
la glace, a gorgeous cafe in the centre of copenhagen. always packed full of people, and selling some of the most decadent and delicious cakes and teas i have ever had.

just rediscovered this photo, of tree decorations in tivoli, copenhagen, christmas 2008.
quietly falling for owl city. i have a feeling in a week i will be sick of hearing their music, but maybe that's because i'll have played it to death before then...

last night i went to my friend's sister's 21st. amazing indian food and kick-ass bhangra style dancing all night.
tonight i ate chinese food and watching 'rachel getting married' with my mum. it's a beautiful, tragic film. thoroughly recommended.

sometimes, there is nothing nicer than a quiet evening. candles, familiar surroundings, hot chocolate, and something good on tv.
i found this towel in a tiny charity shop hidden away up in pitlochry, scotland. it's a perfect rug for my bedroom floor.

trying to find that balance between spending time being 'productive', and spending time just on me, messing around on the internet, watching tv, doing nothing very constructive at all. do too much or too little of either and i feel bad, so surely there much be a middle point somewhere inbetween?
just thoughts.
my dad had left this sticker stuck to the coat hooks next to the front door, and i couldn't resist capturing it on camera. the text means 'christmas with a heart', in Danish.

so i did indeed visit my lovely friend down south, but snow made for rather large train delays which wasn't welcome. still, i made it home in one piece, and though i'm shattered today, i'm really glad i went.
to make up for a couple of days lost:
got my first two fish tonight. they're very sweet. trying to think of good names for them...

tomorrow i'm supposed to be visiting my friend in beaconsfield, way down south. i really want to go, but am questioning the wisdom of braving this weather.
if you don't hear from me again for a while, i have been snowed in in the English countryside, indefinitely :D :D

...or so i thought. but the copious amount of snow meant classes were cancelled, so i just went for a walk instead, in my dad's wellingtons :D
started watching bbc's 'being human'. it's actually quite addictive.

most certainly the most important part of my bedroom.
i genuinely don't think i could exist without anything to read. if i could only take one thing to a desert island, it would have to be a book of some kind or another.

so our family is one of those families physically incapable of throwing christmas decorations away. while also being physically incapable of not buying new decorations each and every december. which means that each year our tree looks more and more like someone fired a christmas decoration cannon at it, with the aim of fitting as many decorations on it as possible in one go.
being danish, the little flags were sort of mandatory for us :D
