so lots has happened... i moved on saturday into my beautiful new apartment. my roommate, christophe, is the cutest and i think it's going to work out well with him.

i took a couple pictures of the place...

here is the sitting room...

this is my messy, disorganized bedroom. but notice the giant bed... that is actually two beds pushed together. why do i need two beds?

notice that you can also see the pumpkin on the window sill. now it's okay, but people are going to start thinking i'm weird in december.

this is my beautiful (and kinda creepy) view from the balcony.

i'm sure i'll get more pictures as time goes on, especially at our (what looks like it's going to be huge) housewarming party. the building is so cute because it's all students (the university is next door) so everybody knows eachother and has been very nice to me.

anyway, after moving on saturday we all decided to go out to our favourite pub, fitzsimons, in temple bar (notice all the pints of bulmers on the table.. jealous, dan? :))

from left to right that's louise, thomas (louise and preben's brother), preben, annette (thomas' girlfriend), morten, and behind is some creepy drunk guy we couldn't get rid of (as a side note, he was passed out in his chair about an hour after this picture was taken).

we had a great night there filled with maybe a couple drinks, lots of laughs, dancing, and a stumble home with no shoes on. i stayed at morten and preben's place that night, as i couldn't really get home, and we had thanksgiving the next day!

the next morning (around noon) morten and i had to go shopping for breakfast and dinner food, and we were pleasantly surprised to see jack osbourne signing books right there in the dundum shopping center!

that was a little weird. but we got lots of food (and some bedding for my new apartment) and went back home.

apparently they don't celebrate thanksgiving in europe, and i was a little sad about missing mine at home, so i offered to cook what we traditionally eat at home for thanksgiving.

they don't sell turkeys here either. so that makes it difficult.

but, i was still able to pull off a lovely thanksgiving dinner for all the danes (and one irish guy) and it felt a little like home.

so i finally went home on sunday night, made up my room a little bit, slept for a long time, then monday i set out to discover my new neighbourhood. i have all the necessities nearby, which is great, and a huge mall within walking distance.

christophe and i hung out a bit last night with some of the neighbours (our patio isn't separated from anyone else's on our floor, so we can all just walk around to eachother's apartments) on the patio and i got to meet the people in the building, which was nice.

then i had an interview today for paddypower and i JUST got the phone call that i got the job! seriously, i just got off the phone with them. that's so exciting! i start thursday morning... and it's even better because it's about an 8 minute walk from home.

i'm so overwhelmed! if i weren't in a library, i would scream.

so that's that! i don't have the internet in my apartment yet (they say this week) so that's why i haven't been on msn or skype recently. but don't worry, i'll be back in no time.

I don't know if you noticed but the crazy drunk guy in the picture MAY just be Ozzie Osbourne!!!!! Love the apartment (the view could be a little creepy at night though!) and so glad your roommate seems like he'll be good. Should be a helluva housewarming party!

we missed you at thanksgiving, but, in a related story, there was enough amaretto for everyone this year.

I like the view....and if anyone falls off the balcony you can just throw some dirt on them. Miss you Baby!

Wow. That sounds like an awesome place to live. SO jealous.

My roommate, *cough*adi*cough* is starting to drive me crazy.

If I "accidently" murder her, can I "send" her to "visit" you and can you, uh .... ya know, play the "go-bury-yourself-in-the-local-cemetary" game?
I think she'd really enjoy that. She misses you.
