/// today will be perfect.

and it was.

if ever there is something that i will take forever into my heart: it is this day. this day will make me brave, and when i go back, i will be able to face anything.

because we woke up early and had the perfect "better than hotels" breakfast at cafe sirap. we had blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon for me, salad for you. coffee, because we are swedes. and you held my hand and you told me that i could stay.

because we walked high up to observatory hill and "hold your glass up, hold it in. never betray the way you've always known it is!" flew out of your hands and landed on the grass below us. and because of summer.

because of s:t eriksgatan and the funny elevator which speaks like a metro stop voiceover. because our fears and our beliefs and because love (for me) and beauty (for you) will always conquer death. because there is one truth and we could find it.

because of the street art below the bridge that we crossed ("i want to cross bridges! i want to see the water!") and because of my sticker that says GELEO WAS HERE!

because of the 5 SEK records that we bought in that obscure record shop under the bridge, because of that moment at the staircase, because of talking heads.

because of your pesto spinach pasta, svenSKA records and time flying fast (it's 19:48!). 

because we danced to cats on fire's "higher grounds" (my favorite) together at the very front of debaser medis' stage and you carried me up in the air towards the end of the song, while everyone was clapping. "i am so happy." 

because of the laser green lights criss-crossing your face when we were dancing to "in between days".

because we were in between rooms and in between days.

because i won our bet: there IS a vegetarian burger at mc donald's! the evil empire is not so evil after all. it has mc bean. haha!

because you told me that you had no doubts about me being able to do what i need to do, and because you told me that it is just one punch.

because there is summer, because there is finland. 

today is the perfect day. and tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that... will be as well. because of today. 

happy new year you're my only vice, L!

/// happy new year you're my only vice!

HOLD YOUR GLASS UP.

HOLD IT IN!

NEVER BETRAY THE WAY YOU'VE ALWAYS KNOWN IT IS!

/// nikolaus day

happy nikolaus day! christine surprised me with a gift when she came over! <3 <3 <3 a funny little frog belle and sebastian poster! with a milka nikolaus chocolate figure! she said, "i was hoping you don't hate the song now after what happened."

i realized, no. i don't hate the song. it's about love, waiting, living museums and hoping to tell you all about it someday, no reason to hate it just because it's about you.. but breaks my heart a little of course when i hear it. especially "dress up in you". oh, dress up in you.

i still love funny little frog because it's me, and i loved and love and i will love! will you wake up someday? or will it be another living museum for me?

/// something else

claudia's three main strengths according to her:
1. has an organized and structured mind
2. very dependable
3. has a habit of analyzing and categorizing people and trying to figure out why they act the way they do.

a: haha that's true!
c: yes! i always try to figure out people. and try to pair their personalities to someone else that i know or i have met for example, gretha is like anna. and johanna is like etc. etc.
a: and where do i fit?
c: you? you are something else.

hehehe!
