MY NEW PINK & PURPLE “GLOAT-RING”

This weekend we had the traditional TP-tournament (Trivial Pursuit) at some of my best friends apartment. It was a bit sad and sentimental, because they are moving to a house north of Copenhagen (closer to my home, I believe I can bike to their place in 20 minutes or so…) and this was the last get-together at this address – and we’ve countless hours of fun in that apartment!
Anyway, they supplied us, the guests, with plenty of vine (not wanting to move all 130 bottles to their new home) and good food and the game began. Usually we divide different teams – smokers, girls, boys, academic (and we usually get our ass kicked…) and so on. This time we started out playing girls against the boys. And, as you probably have guessed since I’m writing this on my blog; the girl-team WON!

The boys, of course, weren’t very happy with this, and insisted on a rematch. And they wanted to increase the stakes and we all put some money on the table. It was a very exiting game, the boys got of to a good start and the girls didn’t seem to go anywhere… The boys started to gloat and thought they had it made, but that was a mistake. The girls quickly finished the game and left the boys to wonder what just had hit them. And somehow that ended the night, and the boys just wanted to go home ;o)
We shared the winnings, the incredible amount of 120 d.kr, leaving the 3 of us with 40,- to spend each.

And today I bought something to remember the victory. It had to be something I could get for 40,- and something I could wear for the next game (and really stick it to the boys… hey, they started the gloating!) and I ended up buying a new ring, pink and purple.
I’m definitely going to wear this ring when we meet up for the next TP-tournament in their new home!

BRITNEY SPEARS AND ME

Inspired by Louise’s dream about Britney and their conversation on Latex-use [giggle] and my recent live Britney experience (Britney's recent concert in Forum, Copenhagen), I’ve listened to her new album a few times. And I have to admit that the erotic message in the lyrics and music is CRYSTAL CLEAR to me now (guess I didn’t listen the right way before…). Britney’s erotic stageshow somehow makes sense now (ok, I guess I need to admit that I was a little embarrassed at the concert, because I didn’t realise that Madonna had had that kind of influence on the girl… ohm, Woman! I hope no 12-year old was to chocked after the show... I know the 3 guys in their early twenties standing next to me REALLY ENJOYED THE SHOW!). Anyway, her new album is REALLY good, and gets better every time you listen to it, if you like the erotic-techno style anyway.

My favourite song is Breathe on me. I hope my favourite spinning instructor will discover it and play it soon, I’m sure it will help me forget about the pain and start to smile ;o)

You need to hear the music, but here’s the lyrics:

--------------------
Breathe on me
--------------------
It's so hot in here.

Ohh, it's so hot, and I need some air.
Oh boy, don't stop 'cuz I'm halfway there.
It's not complicated, it's just syncopated,
We can read each other's minds.
One love united,
Two bodies synchronizing,
Don't even need to touch me,
Baby, just...

(Chorus)
Breathe on me.
Baby just, breathe on me.
We don't need to touch, just
breathe...

Ohh, this is way beyond the physical (it's a way beyond the physical).
Tonight, my senses don't make sense at all.
Our imagination, takin' us to places,
We have never been before.
Take me in, let it out,
Don't even need to touch me,
Baby, just...

(Chorus)

(Whispers)
Monogamy is the way to go,
Just put your lips together... and blow.
--------------------

The song and music definitely does something to me because all I can think about after listening is: I WANT THIS!! PLEASE! SOMEBODY PLEASE: BREATHE ON ME!

Guess I’m ready for love!

Wishing you all a hot and sunny summer!

[who has to return to her job: exploring the construction-industry… not as bad as it sounds, but THERE’S A REASON for my sudden Britney-addiction – I need some more pink in this world of hard-hats and seriousness. ]

Or maybe I’m just looking to boost my blogs hit-rate by mentioning Britney Spears in my header ;o)

THE THING ABOUT CHOICE

As you might have noticed I’ve been riding the good wave of life for a while now, and I’ve realised that there’s a distinct pattern to the Good Life that always leaves me in dilemmas.
– fortunately the good kind of dilemmas…

The pattern that I’ve identified is, that good things always seem to come in pairs, and its up to me to choose. Apparently you can’t have two cakes and eat both of them… And the damn thing about making this choice is that it is up to YOU to decide which cake you’re not going to eat. This means that you have to stick to your choice once you’ve decided and not live you’re life regretting that you missed out and the only one to blame is yourself.

How come you always meet two great guys at the same time… or get two job-offers at the same time… or even get to choose between two cute kittens…

Is this God’s, or the Universe, way to force me to reflect on life changing decisions and not just run about and live intuitively and randomly – and happily?

Or am I just kidding myself in thinking that I have anything to say in the matter of my life’s destiny?

I know that I always end up deciding by heart and not cool rationale – and isn’t the whole dilemma of choice really just an academic exercise to keep my brain busy?


Madonna's right: life is a mystery!

ADMISSION
I’ve been told that it was quite obvious that I was terrified on that motorcycle ride, so I guess the poetic description of the ride wasn’t quite right…

OK, I admit it; the main part of the ride, I was paralysed by fear and hanging on as best I could… guess someone has the black bruises to show for it ;o)

But in the end I REALLY enjoyed it!!! I did!!!
