Soaked

It seems I have grown somewhat fond of the rain. The walking distance between the theater and the bus stop was just a little longer than your regular 'sure, we'll walk'-distance and halfway there it began pouring down. My mom and my brother immediately began running but for a reason I didn't think of at the time, the rain didn't bother me at all. Of course the Danish rain is not similar to the Korean rain, it is colder and softer but I couldn't help but feel home in the rain. It stupid and my hair looked like hell when I eventually reached the shelter but I think it took me back to Korea just for a second. It's funny how I miss it so much because on the paper it was nothing special but I can't help but lingering a little. Also I have been talking a little to Alan today and I had a moment of actually sitting in front of the screen, laughing out loud. Litterally lolling. It was brilliant. I have grown somewhat fond of the rain. Temporarily at least.

Adventures pt. 6 - A latex pout

I can't seem to figure out if I'm regularily tired or overly tired. Teddy allowed me to sleep on her shoulder on the longer ride which was far more comfy than you'd think. It had me sending thoughts to Jack who offered me his shoulder on the busride from the camp. And after all a boney shoulder is better than none. After all that is not reallu what it's about anyways, is it? I hope that he hand his companions get some sleep on their plane ride because we did kieep them up all night. Staying up all night was definately an awesome idea though I was slightly disappointed in Hadley's chickening out already a little past midnight. The night really did seem to last forever and it was the best thing since time together was what we were lacking. I have a feeling that it pulled the five of us just a little closer together which just made it the hardest part to say goodbye in the morning. In all honesty I was really surprised to see how touched the three of them seemed to be when we promised that we'd see each other again some day. It made quite an impact on me getting to know those people and I was fairly unprepared as to how they would grow on me.

Jim Olmeyer: Hello! We're your neighbors from two doors down and we just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood! 
[hands the Colonel a gift basket] 
Jim "JB" Berkely: Everything's from our garden, except for the pasta. 
Jim Olmeyer: Yes, it's from Fizzoli's, it's amazingly fresh, you just pop it in water and it's done! I'm Jim Olmeyer. 
[shakes the Colonel's hand] 
Jim Olmeyer: And this is my partner Jim. 
Jim "JB" Berkely: Jim Berkely, but people call me J.B. 
[extends his hand to shake] 
Colonel Frank Fitts: Ah, let's just cut to it, what are you selling? 
Jim Olmeyer: Nothing, we just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood. 
Colonel Frank Fitts: You said you're partners, so, uh what's your business? 
Jim Olmeyer: Well, he's a tax attorney. 
Jim "JB" Berkely: And he's an anesthesiologist. 

Adventures pt. 5 - Sleepless in Seoul

Last night - and not even sooner really - I realized that the incredible people I had attatched myself to so quickly were gonna be seperated from me and I could not just come knocking on their door or join them for breakfast whever I wanted. Of course it's sicking in now - but not entirely - that they won't be there when I come home. This could easily get really sobby because I was surprisingly close to tears when I had to hug Jack, Selina and Alan goodbye. It's always a little harder to say goodbye when you don't know when you'll meet again - if at all. To myright sit both Teddy and Henry and I'm glad I get to bring them home at least. They are sleeping and "Watch You Sleeping" has been plating on repeat the last couple of hours. Henry's lips are more than lightly partedand her head is leant back. Teddy might merely just be listening to musi-- oh, nope, she's definately asleep, her chin just dropped to her chest.

Adventures pt. 4 - Cloud penetration

The Adventures pt. 4 and 5 are written in a little notebook with a kitten on it that I received upon my departure from Seoul. They are written while on the plane: I am currently sitting on a small plane from Helsinki to home. It's not gonna be more than one and a half hour, which is a relief 'cause it's rather bumpy. You could imagine a newly educated pilot behud the... wheel? Stick? Whatever. I suddenly remembered how the Danish weather is absolutely shit compared to that of Korea. I've really been enjoying being able to step out in the rain in shirts and a t-shirt. The major downside of going to Korea during the monsoon season is that I had of course only brought flippin' slippers that would absorb the water and never dry again. That means that I have - without exaggeration - had constantly wet feet for a week and I highly doubt the healthiness of that. I had saved my Converse for traveling only and I have never appreciated my shoes more. So far the 10 hours it takes to fly across China and Russia I have had the hardest time trying to sleep; that is, it was a little easier this time because the excitement had worn off and the sadness had kicked in.
