There go my impressive last words of the year...

Oh bugger. There I was feeling all "death of the old year'ish", and now I remembered all kinds of bloody stuff. Argh. Oh well, I never was one for big poetic endings.

On to some materialism coupled with artistry:

I got a new digital camera! Wheeee! Cecilie concurred, the baby is due january 1. , and she'd also like pictures of the wee tyke. So there.

I've taken an enourmous amount of photos, which will of course be posted.
I'll probably be writing in a minute, completely disregarding the fact that midnight is but twenty minutes away. Ach. Happy new year again :P

Snowfall

All is well

Still here :)
Newyears' eve, and the baby is coming aaaany minute now. 2006 beckons, 30 minutes left of the old year. A year hopefully full of adventure and hapiness. To all my anonymous readers, (who never leave comments, I mean, come ON people, I know of at least 15 of you reading this infrequently updated thing!) a happy and eventful new year.

-Nillerus out

Sigh

Cecilie and Andreas are sleeping, Signe is on her (delayed) way here, and my mum's clamouring on the phone... It's my Grandmum's birthday today, and everything is going it's usual merry way... wheee :P.
Next week I'm off to Germany for five days, just me my dad and my siblings, I wasn't going to go, as Cecilie and Andreas were supposed to come, but Cecilie said I should bloody well go, and buy her the skinlotion she likes so well. yeah.

The sun is moving fast

Listening to System's new CD, hypnotize... aaaah, bliss.
Rolf is coming by today, I asked him to help out with some movement of furniture... and... well, gaming :P.
University is actually starting to be fun.
Soon, our baby is going to be born, technically my first-born... My gods.
I am actually looking forward to christmas this year, Andreas is going to be so happy...
Two years ago I had a semi-serious depression on and around christmas, last year wasn't too bad, I was a bit afraid it would happen again though. Luckily it did not, and this year.... there is nothing to be sad about. Apart from the Angst inherent in all human beings of course.

Normality

We live almost right next to a home for autistic people. Every morning they'll come shuffling by, moaning and laughing, mumbling incoherently.
A blessing.
Gives me a much-needed dose of sanity every time I see them.

"Normal" people are slaves to social dogma, having spent their entire lives building up such exquisite filters for what is accceptable, that they have in effect walled themselves in, acknowledging only what is deemed appropriate. Boring, grey, dead.

I've been quite busy lately. Alas, I've been busy doing everything I should not, avoiding what I must (reeeeaaaad). But I have read some none the less. Here you see a typical example of my... notetaking. colours indicate... colourfulness. POI of course, my wife just pointed out to me what pretty patterns I was making in my books. Ah yes, the arduous life of science and discovery :P

Ever wonder why you so seldomly see half elf/ half orc's in fantasy games? heeheehee...

the saga continues

My comic, starring me, family and friends. And Cthulhu. Title Pending.

Aaaaahhhh.....

'twas a nice little party. Nothing too fancy, but quite enjoyable indeed.

Halloween

Autumn is closing in, and what better way to celebrate than having an intimate dinner party with a few friends, all dressed up in costumes, and getting so drunk you can't remember your own name?
Nothing, that's what.

W00t

We're getting our new bed today! yay. The old one is 120 cm. wide, the new one is going to be 180! Oooooooooh yeah. This has been an announcement by the board of telling trivial boring stuff to the public. Because we care.

Mornings.

Ack! Bah! urgh......

The reading!

Ack, so much i haven't read, or even laid eyes on! I'm about 150 pagesout of sync. Not that this has hindered me so far, but it most probably will at some point, so I'd better start trucking.

Andreas behaved very badly on the way home, so he's not allowed any TV today. The good thing about punishing him is that his one-hour a day TV privileges, and candy, are both bad for him anyway, so taking them away does him good in the long run. As does learning boundaries of course, but the end result is less bad concience for his parents ;)

aHA! A picture of my little brother, taken christmas 2004 I believe. Note the long, black wavy locks, and the grainy undergroundish black/white ambience of the photo. Touch�!

On to the forest

On this beautiful early autumn day, off we go, to take pictures in the forest. Yay.

Another experiment in black/white.

Harmony.

Summer is about to end. Sigh. Actually, I've been looking forward to autumn, the peace and tranquility. But the sun will be dearly missed.

Urbanism.

"No trespassing", and the next one: "Children at play". Heeehehehehe.

A pirates life for me.

Feeling a bit... wonky just now. Nothing too bad, just feeling the tiniest bit depressed. Just came home from university, and well... today my social skills were not at their highest point ever it would seem.
On a more positive note, we've been granted a loan, which means we can eat this month! Wooooo.
Ach, things could be a LOT worse, nothings really wrong, it's probably just the beginning autumn thats getting at me.

Seven drunken nightsh... or wash shat beersh... *hiccup*.

How can such beauty walk the earth, without flowers growing forth were she steps? Her voice is as sweetest nectar to my ears, her eyes everchanging; At one time serene mountain pools, to gaze at them is to be lost in most delightful reverie, at another intensely blazing blue crystals, that could out-stare the sun. And she's mine, all MINE! Muhahahahaha!!!

Me and Anja BEFORE the SOAD concert. Afterwards they handed out towels, it took Anja 15 minutes to kill enough people to make a raft out of, so we could sail to safety. The place was a FURNACE. A rather soggy one, granted

mmmmm... I'll have my goddess with vanilla toppings please. Yes, that was corny, so sue me.

Me? I haven't been near the chocolate... LIES!

Picture perfect.

My lovelies. No, really. MINE :P

Look at her... I am the luckiest man alive. (sobs)

Aaaaaah, lovely. No, don't ask.

A rather nice detail from our bathroom.

Soaps : 32 kr.

Soap Dish: 15 kr.

Feeling like a stuck-up retro french Jugendstil wannabe: Priceless.

See?

My greatest work is completed! Well, actually we just moved the computer into the living room, but it was quite heavy you know.
Also my ingenious plan seems to be working, as this is the second time I'm writing today... quantity is not to be scorned, as long as there's lots of it.

Allrighty

There, I've done it. I've made blogger.com my startpage... this should insure that I update the sucker at least once a week.

I am at times amazed how much our genes play into our social interactions. Or our "racial memory" as I've heard it described. Phobias are a golden example. For hundreds of thousands of years our ancestors have trodden on spiders, and as a consequence their feet got rather swollen and purple. Their mates thought "Blow that for a lark", and as a result even small children recognise the arachnid form as bad news.
Of course, no spiders in Denmark are actually dangerous in any way, at most they can wiggle their legs at you for a bit... So thanks a lot for my arachnophobia mother nature!

At times, I get to feeling quite territorial. If someone starts flirting with my wife for example, the first thought that goes into my mind is not "Oh well, he doesn't mean anything by it probably", no, what I think is MINE. Then my cultural filters kick in, to stop me actually inflicting bodily harm out of instinct. This usually results in a bit of a rictus grin, and a rather firm handshake, but no one is harmed. Quite useful I've always thought.

Crivens!

Not dead...yet. Getting married in less than a month, travelling (to Prague) two days after that. Not stressed, or rather, I wouldn't be, if all the women involved in the wedding would please go into hibernation for a few weeks.

Sooooo

Lets see. I've started working, with telemarketing, and the neverending shame isn't too bad actually. Anywho, I call companies, not people :P. Also lots of other stuff has been happening, but this is just to ascertain that I am in fact, still alive.

Recap

Lots of stuff's been happening. I got my students cap for one. My average is 8.8, 0.1 point off, need 8.9 for European Ethnology... hope I get in. If not, there are many other interesting studies :) I've started at the commune, rather OK, sit at the internet all day, jobsearching. I have an interview friday, I'm selling my soul... to telemarketing! NooOOOoooOOOoooOOO!
And last but not least... We went to the hospital today to get a scan of the baby!!! My gods... It was moving about in there, swimming around, and finally found a cozy position and fell asleep... It's... indescribable. Life is wonderful.

Today has been a good day.

To put it quite simply. Hanne got her "students cap" today, we drank a lot of beer, Nicolai and Anja were there too... and we went grilling with Cecilie. Just on a whim. Not an earth shattering event, but... well, when your life is as predictable as it is when awaiting a child, (in the most boring sense imaginable) this is rather a big deal. Not that I don't love my life, because I really do, but once in a while a break is necessary. I got mine today, got to hang out and relax with my friends... all is well. Also I got a 10 in written danish, rather nice, means whatever I do tommorow in Psychology won't matter overly much, I'll still get into university. w00t.

Or it might get the same colour as your bloody hair. Hoho, a pun.

Don't pick your nose.

My first night on the couch.

Quite voluntarily, I might add. She's not what you'd call a heavy sleeper, and wakes up once again in the night, and can't fall asleep with me in the bed. It's not that I snore, of course. :P
Had a quite good time this evening, we were at Cecilie's mums. Usually not really my cup of tea, Cecilies siblings are nice enough, just don't really have all that much to talk with them about. Not that I babbled on this time, but everything was more relaxed. Quite nice.
Also, I had a drunken adventure last week, I hijacked Rob, and took him to Postpubben, the local pub (obviously), for what should have just been a pint or two, just to take my mind off things... But, alas, that was not how it went. I'll write more about that particular incident when... well, tommorow I imagine. When I've figured out why all those people bought us all that beer...?

Tommorow... Have to call the bank, because for some idiotic reason only known to the state, you don't get your unemployment money until the last in the month... So, have to get a loan, (update it that is), and find some work asap... grrrrr... we used to have welfare in this country. Not that I don't want to find work, I'm just completely penniless atm. Argh. maybe I'll take up pirating... now, to find me a ship.

Chronologically challenged.

It's 1 o'clock at night. Not in itself a very startling statement you might inject, but I thought it was like 4 in the morning. Because of the thunder. I fucking love thunder. As to why... Dunno, I just feel more alive when it's thundering. And time flies when you're having fun, ie. feeling alive, feeling the blood pounding, the electricity in the air...
One of my fondest memories is from last year, I had just (unofficially, shhh) moved in with Cecilie. It was late summer, and it started storming outside. I mean really tempest...ing. So, naturally, I went outside to get a little closer to the elements. Lo and behold, Cecilie followed me! That was one of the defining moments of our relationship for me, this was pretty much when I became irrevocably entranced with her. We went inside, our clothes were all wet... (oh really!?) So, we took them off and... ahaha, I know what you were thinking you naughty thing, but no, we ran outside again. And stood in the rain, au naturel, kissing. It was beautiful.

Yeah. Hey, I might as well promote myself :P I thought about printing this os stickers, and putting it up around town... As a kind of weirdass social experiment. would be kind of fun to see how many people would visit. On the other hand I quite like the fact that this place is so obscure...

Soon it'll all be over.

In the good way. My danish exam went just fine, a 7, not the best of grades, but considering my level of preparedness, it's a miracle I even passed the damn thing. Today is music my exam, last one for two weeks, I am going to get absolutely abysmal grades on this one, so I'm not too worried :D
The coming week I have to go to city hall, because the danish state in all it's wisdom doesn't think people should get any money in the 3 month period between educations, and with exams and all finding work has been a bit of a hassle, so... unemployment for me! yay.
Going to get some work asap, but not until exams are done with. Because frankly, we need money NOW, and you don't get paid before the very last day in the month if working, while the unemployment check comes in the door at the beginning of the month, so my possibilities are a bit limited. sigh.
But it's cool, could be loads worse. This weekend we're going to try and finish painting the apartment, and moving stuff around and so on and so forth, Cecilie's girlfriend is coming by this tuesday, and staying the night, before going to Switzerland.

If mum can do it, so can I. Notice the impressive abrasions on his nose: "Honey, don't jump down the stairs", "Okay dad, I won't!" smack!

Mummy's tummy. A common danish colloquialism for being pregnant is... oh wait, having "a bun in the oven"... from english... right. Damn. Cudos.

Beauty Divine

A really bad pic of my little brother. Naturally I uploaded it ;)

The face of the devil. i have exams tommorow and this evil man does his best to get me drunk. he then reclaims his good standing by giving some damn good advice, and saving my ass by sweet talking my old lady. Damn his bony ass. :D

There we go...

That's much better. Had my exam in History today, got a 9, even though the subject was The vietnam war, definetely one of my weak areas. The teacher said i was wasting my talent, what with never doing homework or showing up for class. So... very nice, I still got it. Apparently, more exams to come of course. Also, my Bluetooth adapter should arrive tommorow, so more piccies! yay.

Music and beer

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've had time to myself. Cecilie has taken Andreas over to stepmom's, while I'm "studying". I just got the new System album as mentioned. Listening to music, drinking a few beers, just relaxing... it's been some time. God, how did I get so old so soon? It is in no way a bad thing, but once in a while a body needs to chill. Apparently I feel best when acting like i did when I was 22. So I'll go down and get a few more beers, and just relax. That's what I was doing when I got my super-mega cool grades last year. Worth a try :P

Oh YEAH!

My very most favourite band, IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD I might add, System of a down, have released a new album! And I'm dl'ing it right now!(don't worry, of course I'll buy as soon as I get the chance) Life can be so rewarding. shouts out to Magnus for supplying delectable ear-goodies for long-time listening pleasure.

My dear sister... and her dolly!?!?

Me. Note the remarkable resemblance to my drawn alter ego!

A character of mine. Very inventively named Nillerus :P 

Onwards and upwards

Just got my very first 5 today... that means "not passed". Wow. That's a new experience. Not that gruelling, my grades are exceptionally good apart from that one, so no biggie... well, my academic pride has been injured a bit, I'll have to concede, but it isn't all that bad. So there, apparently grades dont matter all that much to me. Good to know :)

In the beginning there was nothing, and then it exploded.

To start off this blog... nothing much in the way of entertainment really. Be ready to be informed.

My name is Nils, I'm a 23 year old dane. I have a fiance, Cecilie, and a son, Andreas (3). We're getting married this august, and are expecting another child, to be born around december 30th.
I'm in the middle of exams right now, finishing the last of those in a month or so. Next (school)year it's off to university, or so I hope.

There.

Now you know loads about me without really knowing me... A fabulous medium, this internet, is it not? :)

More posts soon to come, hopefully quite frequently, but for now I must study. Yay for me :P
