Christmas
So this christmas was somewhat a historic one for me. That is if I choose to use a big word about what many would see as a small thing, but I like christmas eve so lets leave it at that, historic. For the first time did my family spend time with my fathers sister and her family. It has for as long as I can remember always been a tradition that we spend christmas day with them, where we also dance around the christmas tree and get presents. However due to how things have changed we decided to do it like this, this year.
For dinner we had both roast pork, duck and goose. So as you might guess, there were plenty, and it was good. Though I missed my grandmothers meatballs. The rest of the evening was pretty much like every other christmas eve, after dinner dancing around the tree and getting presents. We were nine people, which equals a lot of present, and we were done with those around midnight, then random talking for some time. I think we were home around 2.
Christmas day we made a small visit at my grandparents for afternoon coffee, and some christmas lunch just the five of us at home for dinner in the evening. At nine I met with some of my friends from school for some partying, most of which I haven't seen the last six months. That was really nice except for the fact that I didn't drink, as I had to be at the civil defence next morning at 7:35 and drove up there during the night just after the party.
First day at the civil defence was spent catching up on some sleep and watching Harry Potter 3, 4 and 5. Next day we had to do a little work. I washed a firetruck and helped carrying some tubes. Rest of the day was spent on some random TV, inet and such.
Not much left to say about my christmas but the ultimate question: What did I get for christmas?

Avril La -FUCKING- vigne
Okay the last post was pretty angry, so I would just like that say that being in the civil defence is not all that bad, I've actually come to like it pretty well. Lovable co-conscripts, fun drills ect. Though no real fires ect. ever happens. One day left and I have christmas holiday, that's awesome anyway though :) and I'll be done on 30th January.
Lately I've been thinking about what I wanna do when I finish, and I've come up with a plan for the next half year more of less. No actual plan, but like mainly what I'd like to do, and then we'll see if it will happen.
Some evening when I was watching a few music videos I got the idea that I could travel around a bit to some concerts. Practically none of the artist that I listen to have I ever seen live, so now would be the time to do it. So I plan to get an interrail ticket (train ticket with which you can travel around as much you want in europe for x days) and then find some concerts. So far I've found a handfull or so artist that are touring in europe in the spring that I'd like to see, and just earlier today I started laying out a more detailed plan of which I'm going to when and where.
Those I have in mind are:
These are all touring in europe around February - March - April. So the plan might to do some of these in the spring and then see if any interesting are touring in the summer and take another trip then.
Somewhere in the middle of this planning I got an email from the Avril Lavigne fanclub saying that she would extend her american tour to also include europe, somewhere around June. Her being propably between my 3 favourite artist that was something I could not miss, so as the ticketsale started at 10.00 I went to the computer room in the lunch break and bought a ticket for the copenhagen concert, on June 26. Then time must tell if that'll be the only concert in the summer of if I find some others aswell.

One mad mad kopa
My whole childhood I've always wanted some radio controlled (RC) car that could run fast. I've had a few small ones but they've been really slow and boring. So one day a little while ago as I was surfing QXL.dk I remembered I had once bid on an RC car there. So I did some searching and found there to be some interesting ones there. So I bought one that uses nitro fuel (new, from some store that sells on QXL) and got it last thursday. Friday I got fuel for it. But that's where the fun stopped...
I haven't been able to get it started yet, and have been used quite some hours during the weekend, and now the pull starter is stuck. AREGGRAGJH it's so frustating buying something and looking forward to using it but can't because it's fucking hard to make it work. Besides this I'm getting pretty tired of the civil defence. Long days and having to stay there some evenings and weekends and shit. However sundays are the worst, I'm always like "now there's 10 hours left of weekend", "now there's 4 hours left" ect. ect. fuck I hate it.
As you might guess I haven't been in the best mood today. It helped a bit by rewatching A lot like love just now though.

Not that I have anything to write about..
..but I have nothing else to do while waiting for Cashback, the short movie, to load at video.google.com. Saw the full movie a while ago and loved it. Anyway, I haven't done that much this weekend. Mostly watched series, as I haven't had that much time to watch them during the week so had a lot to catch up on.
Next week will have a lot going on. I have guard (right word? thing where I have to stay barracks to be ready if a fire starts) tuesday, some drill wednesday that takes all day, some smoke diving drill as far as I know, and then I have guard again next weekend, so have to stay there the whole weekend :I Good thing is I might get around to start reading one the books I bought then.
Weekends are too short aren't they? :) Oh how I look forward to the end of this month when I start having every friday off, and will have so the rest of the time in the civil defence.

Ten feet high
I made a very nice discovery friday. Something that somehow haven't come to my attention untill just now. Andrea Corr has this summer released a solo album. Being a huge The Corrs fan (of which she's the lead singer) this would be a major event for me, and something I would pre order weeks ahead if I had known. Anyway I've ofcourse ordered it now. As I'm ordering from CD-wow it will take some days before it arrives, damn I can't wait.
Along with Ten Feet High (the Andrea Corr album) I ordered two other CD's. Good Charlotte - Good Morning Revival, which I've decided that I want after hearing their second single, and Kelly Clarkson - My December. I have only heard the first sinlge of Kelly Clarkson, which I didn't like too much, not bad either at all, but her previous album was really nice, so I'm taking a leap of faith that this will be aswell.

Normandy (part 2)
Tuesday 10 July
Today it rained a lot, but eventhough we decided to drive to Omaha Beach. Luckily enough the rained stopped as we came closer to the sea. Had been looking forward to see Omaha Beach, but well, it's just a beach and a few bunkers. Around where we were there were two bunkers and a memorial sign for the 5th Engineer Troop. But now I can say I've pied on Omaha Beach ;-). After this we drove to the american graveyard. Quite big it was. Not just many graves, but also a huge entrance portal ect. Everything there were just big. Something I found interesting there was the gravestones for those who they didn't know who were, they said: Here rest in honoured peace, a comrade in arms, known but to god. Also I could reconize the pathways from Saving Private Brian (if I'm not totally mistaken).
Then we checked out another part of the beach, which had a huge memorial sculpture. Tried to find a certain museum that seemed good, but we didn't manage to find it. So we gave up and started to drive home, but after driving a few minutes we came by it, and went in. It was mildly interesting, had a lot of stuff from the war. Guns and whatever. That was the end of the day. I had really been looking forward to seing all the D-day things, but when it comes down to it, it isn't really that interesting to see. A beach is a beach.
Wednesday 11 July
Wednesday we got up rather early to get as much out of the day as possible. We drove to Giverny, which was some 1-2 hour drive. This is where Monet's garden is located (that painter you if you don't know). The garden is divided into two parts, one on each side of the road with a tunnel between them. The first part was pretty boring. Many of the flower was something you can see in Denmark aswell and many wasn't flowering. Didn't look more beautiful than our vegetable garden. The second part however was much nicer, with a large lake with bridges, bamboos and other larger trees/bushes ect. Quite nice.
From there we drove to Rouen, a rather large city. Here we looked at some shops, none of them really interesting though. Was on a café and saw three large churches, one of them being some Jeanne d'arc memorial church, placed right next to where she was burned. This was a quite new church, and really nice designed. As we walked around I got quite hungry and found a place I could buy a pizza, which I bought from a quite cute pizza lady <3 At this I also had to pee, but what a sucky city with no restrooms :I I still hadn't found a place to do so when we started looking for some place to eat dinner, which we did for some time. Everywhere they had only french menu cards, and none of us can much french, so we never found a place in Rouen to eat. So we started driving home and found some place on the highway to eat. We came by a quite nice restaurant actually ( where I could finally pee ;) ). Then we drove home, and in the evening I did a little phone IRC.
