Stuff and more Stuff

I'm so creative with titles, no?

I feel like I've been run over by a train today. I'm so sleepy after my unrelaxing weekend of studying for my German exam and trying to run errands. But the good news is that on Friday I got to meet with the builders of my apartment, and for the first time ever I was able to walk up and actually SEE the space that will be my new home in 5 months. It's larger than I thought, except for the living room, which feels a little bit smaller somehow, even though it is 25 m2. I got to pick where all the electric sockets are going. I wanted lots of them, as this is the 21st century and I run a million devices and appliances at a time. I'm actually surprised I haven't started a fire in my current (unrennovated) flat. I want to move in now. The roof terrace would come in handy in these months more than in the winter!

I'm having a lot of design inspiration lately. I haven't designed anything in almost a year. I have no idea why but 2007 was kind of a sleeper for me. I didn't design anything, write anything or do anything really. I cammed and I slept a lot. I need to make myself a new dress form. My old one is from the end of 2005, and no longer fits my proportions. I'll post pics of my creations as I make them! I have a feeling I'm going to be making a lot of cocktail dresses that I'll never wear.

PS I am in love with this blog: http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/

Tortilla!

So there is this tortilla delivery service in town that a lot of people like. This Mexican guy makes his own tortillas, and delivers them to your house for a small price. This is almost always a cause for a party, because you have to eat them fresh and what are you going to do with 100 tortillas? Well tonight my friend Marcus and his girlfriend Katy ordered some, so they had some people over. It was a nice evening with good food and capis (I can't spell capparinha...) and it was a nice bike ride home.

(I admit, I posted almost the exact same thing in my livejournal....sorry if you read both!)

I haven't heard from Felix yet....

(yes I'm giving them names now. I'm not Belle de Jour...)

Year's Supply of Tampons

Ladies and Gentlemen, I now have a whole year's supply of tampons.

I keep forgetting them when I go to work, so I have to buy a new box. I bought 2 boxes this week, not to mention the tons of Tampax I already get sent to me from Canada (though I MUCH prefer those ones to the OB ones I have to buy here!) Need a Tampon? I'm your gal!

Still thinking about F. He's in Spain right now. *le sigh*

I went out with F last night, and it was great!

I met up with him for coffee. He'd said earlier that his friends were grilling in the park to celebrate their bday and if I was up for it we could go but if not no worries. We decided to just meet at Balzac and take it from there. We were there for about 2 hours, and talked sooo much and it was great. He's intelligent and has a great sense of humour, and he even said he was interested in learning more about fashion (which I think that could be BS, and if it is that's really sweet that he made the effort anyway..if it's true, then cool as well.) I felt like I could be myself and wasn't nervous or feeling fake at all.
We eventually did decide to go meet his friends in the park, and totally got lost looking for this hill, in the dark. It was kind of creepy because we started talking about scary movies and zombies (eep) but also totally hilarious. We decided to just go back down and drink some wine by the pond where there are lights and people. The friends decided to come down and meet us, and it was fun.
We went home around 12:30 (both have to work in the morning), and he took me home and we kissed on the cheek. I couldn't find my keys and he said I could always stay at his place in Dom's room (she's away)...was a little disappointed he didn't ask to stay in his room, but mind you that I'm really glad he didn't because it would have been rude and presumptuous and I'm glad he's not that kind of guy. In some ways I was surprised he never made a move the whole night but I was also kind of happy because I got to know him better without physical stuff and I think I always move way too fast that way. I texted him to thank him for the coffee and the wine (he paid) and to say that I had a great night, and he answered 'and I was just trying to find the words to say what a nice eveing it was. thx.' I thought it was SO sweet, and a definite sign that he likes me :) I'm totally infatuated.
