Letters from Gudrunsvej
Tomorrow, tomorrow, you’re only a day away!
Tomorrow at noon I pick up the keys to my new appartment. In case some of you hadn’t realized from my last 20 posts. Exciting! Like I said, Thursday will probably be my first real day in the appartment and the first time I spend the night. But it’s all happening now. It’s all go.
At this point in time I should like to solicit for some mail, please. Seeing as though I will be all alone and scared in a strange and hostile environment, it would really mean a lot to me if some of you would care to help me along. Anything goes. A letter, a postcard. A drawing, a garden gnome. A survival package with 25 cases of paprika pringles. Anything at all. My virgin mailbox will accept anything you put in it, he said with a dirty look on his face.
The first one to send me something, anything, will receive a special prize. I have no clue what that special prize will be, but I’ll think of something. NOTE: Goats are not allowed to enter this competition because I cannot be sending nuts and raisins as prizes, okay Mads? So don’t even think about it.
Okay, here’s my address:
I will be eagerly awaiting the mailman every day from now until forever.
But I am not just all about taking. I am about giving too. Here I give you a goat video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ANl7nBrlVqk. Just as I was getting ready to leave the playground Vanilje decided to start running around randomly. Up and down and all around. I like when this happens. When the goats suddenly get all energetic. Because usually they are rather… well I won’t use the word “lazy” but… let’s just say that they understand how to enjoy life at their own leisurely pace. So I don’t get to see them run all that often. But here Vanilje is bouncing all over the place. It even gets Mads and Magnethe moving a bit too. They start butting heads, while Vanilje runs around them. And even jumps up on Magnethe a couple of times. Good fun.
So. That’s it. I’m going to go stare at the wall until noon tomorrow at which point I’m MOVING.
PS. I decided not to go exchange my cell phone after all. Some incessant pressing of the 5 key helped a bit. It’s not 100% perfectly in order, but it’s close enough. It’s not like I’ll be using the damn thing a lot. I don’t like cell phones. I only got one because it’s cheaper than a “land line” for someone like me who barely ever uses the phone.
Really, I wish there were fewer cell phones in the world. Everyone has one. Kids have three. And they’re all cameras and video recorders and mp3 players and missile launchers as well. Man, they get smaller and smaller and do more and more. I find it annoying. My new cell is too small. I almost feel like going back and asking for a bigger one. But of course they don’t make bigger ones. They make smaller ones. If I could have a bigger one with less functions then I’d be happy. Honestly. Cell phones are what’s wrong with the world. /End rant.

I will have to check my cell phone manual and see if my phone is equipped with a missile launcher! That might be a button to avoid, just like it would be important to know if our truck had an ejector seat!
I will get a card in the mail tomorrow to your poor, lonely mailbox. Your postman or postperson will think a celebrity has moved in.

I’m glad you gave have your new address. There were so much free give-away stuff from the comic con. I wasn’t even able to get everything. Man, the place was so crowded!!
I basically grabbed all the stuff the vendors were giving away for free. All of it will be in two or three envelopes sent to you as soon as I can get them out.
I wasn’t sure what you tastes are so there will be a mixture of all sorts of items from comic books to postcards to stickers, etc. They’re fun things that people love.
Most of them will end up being sold on eBay. That’s what my friend does. Free items we get he ends up selling for hundreds of dollars depending on what the item is.
Another friend of mind deals only in Star Wars stuff-nothing else. He pulls in half a million a year! And he still lives with his parents.
There were people all over the world there. I heard German, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, and I think Swedish, too spoken. There was even one couple who were speaking in Italian.
My Italian is very, very rusty, but I think the man said he was tired and wanted to sit down.
So think of those big envelopes as a house warming gift/belated birthday presents.

Milla – Thank you Milla! Frightfully exciting! Good luck with the driving lessons! Hughshy!
Debster . A missile launcher is essential if you are to protect yourself against mountain lions!
I hope my postperson has a strong back!
LuisLemmings – I’m looking forward to my freebies! I’m sure it will all be great stuff.
Half a million a year? Dude. Now I regret selling my old Star Wars collection more than ever. I sold it for a measly 300 kroners. That’s like nothing. I can’t even stand to think about what it would be worth today..
Ich bin tired and Ich wantz to lie down. That’s all the Italian I know. And yes, I’m aware it’s not Italian.
