My first night in the new appartment has passed. Without incident. It was quite a nice night, actually. In a sweet, soft bed. With light from the streetlights outside coming in through the drapeless windows. Not too much noise. I was kind of expecting a ruckus since it was Friday night and all. Keeping in mind my mother’s warnings about the people here turning night into day. There was nothing like that going on. We’ll see how it goes tonight. Maybe they all held off on the partying because they didn’t want to disturb my first night. You never know.

I woke up a couple of times, but generally slept well. I even went to bed early. At midnight. I’ve been used to staying up till 2-3 am lately. So for me it was an early night.

And I woke up in my new soft bed, still in my new appartment, still living on my own. It was not all a dream. I think.. Yes.. wait for it… yup, I think I do now believe that I have managed to move out and live on my own. Amazing.

Currently listening to R.E.M. music via youtube. Still sitting on the wooden floor, with the monitor on a moving box.

I have actually got a chair now. From my old room. My dad brought it over. He came to help me pick up my TV at the post office. We were a bit unsure about how big it would be and how much it would weigh. We talked about it yesterday, and I claimed that I would be able to bring it home on my own just fine. My dad didn’t seem to believe that. “Well, why don’t you come with me and pick it up then?”. As said, it was done. I’m getting so much help from everyone that it is almost embarrassing.

The pickup went fine. I could have handled it on my own, I’m sure. But it was nice enough to do it with my dad. In fact this whole move has given me the chance to spend some time with them all and do nice stuff and be familiar, as in “a family”. And it feels good. I have spent so long being alone, and now it’s starting to dawn on me that perhaps most of that is my own fault and my own doing. I don’t have to be alone, not all the time at least. That’s a good lesson to learn, wouldn’t you agree?

“My” new post office is in City Vest. That’s the big shopping center. It’s just around the corner. Five minutes walk from my appartment. That’s awesome. Excellent shopping opportunities. Even faster than my old place, the now defunct Favorit/Aktiv Super. And with much bigger selection and more stores. Good stuff.

And now I have a TV. A nice, fairly big flatscreen one. When I started the “channel surf” function to find the TV channels, I got a nice surprise. You might remember that I decided to stick with the basic package with just the few essential, Danish channels. But as the channel surfing program went on it’s merry way it kept finding more and more channels. All the channels of the extended package. Not the fancy payperview superchannels, but still a good and large selection. MTV and VH1 and Disney Channel and a lot of other junk that I’ll never want to watch. Haha. Now of course the question is: why? Is it a mistake from the cable company? Am I getting them for free, am I going to be charged for the basic package or the extended? Should I call them up and ask or should I just sit back and hope for the best? I think that’s what I’ll do. If I end up getting charged for the full pack well then I can afford that. And it’ll be nice to have it anyway, even though I don’t watch quite as much telly as I used to. But it’ll be nice to be able to watch the soccer at home, when Brøndby play. Instead of heading to the old home to watch the games there. And should I end up only being charged for the basic package then I’ll laugh all the way to the bank. Until my guilty conscience gets the best of me at least.

So I have been watching a bit of TV today. A Discovery special on the Shroud of Turin. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to say when you talk about you TV habits? “Oh I watch DIscovery and National Geography and the news of course”. Yes, I only read the articles. What would jesus watch?

Then I hooked up my DVD player and watched an episode of Heroes. Best show since Lost.

More importantly, though, I got mail! I got completely wicked cards from Stu and Debster! A majestik møøse and a beautiful goat! I love them. I’ll have to come up with some kind of prizes for you two. Maybe when I get all my junk unpacked… Thank you thank you guys!

Now I go. Tomorrow I relax. Monday = furniture delivery. Later in week: drape delivery.

Closing with the current rem youtube, Stand:

Stand in the place where you live
Now face north
Think about direction
Wonder why you havent before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face west
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you havent before
