Sidsel's week in Northern Ireland (and a tiny bit other places)

This is maybe more a blog written for me to remember my amazing week in Northern Ireland where I was visiting my long-distance-boyfriend Chris.

Friday my mom picked me up after school and drove me to the train station, where she bought me some chocolate and then waved at me as I left for Copenhagen, where my aunt was waiting for me, well that is to say, she thought it would be my sister arriving, so she had quite the look of surprise on her face when I walked out the train. That night after dinner and a bit of reading I went to bed early because I had to be at the airport at half past eight the next morning, after a lot of waiting in the airport I finally got on the plane, where nervousness and excitement hit me, I'd never flown on my own before, and I knew that Chris would be waiting for me at Dublin airport.

And Chris was waiting for me in the airport, and as the lovely boyfriend he is, he'd dressed up fancy in a suit and everything, and then we had a two hour drive (we laughed and ate M&M's all the way), after which I was introduced to Chris parents (who later that night got dressed up all fancy, and we drove them to a murder mystery party - a trip where Chris' dad sat in the back seat  pretended to be "a German archaeologist" and claiming that the left side of the road was the correct side to drive in...) Chris and I spend the afternoon watching a terrible Batman movie, it was so terrible it became hilarious, we pretty much spend the evening cuddling and watching television (British television is just way better than Danish television), actually we pretty much spend every evening like that.

Sunday was a slightly lazy day, we did go on an adventure in a supermarket where I was shocked by the amount unhealthy stuff you can buy in British supermarket, where we ended up buying more M&M's actually there wasn't a day in the week where we didn't eat those, we ended up calling them Mmmmmm'n'Mmmmms!

Monday we went down to Belfast where Chris else from showing me his favourite nerd-shop took me to the Victoria Square, and we did a bit of dandering around Belfast, dandering around is one of biggest talents.

On Tuesday we went Groomsport, which is a beach-area near where Chris lives, we brought Chris' dog with us and dandered around the beach for a while, I collected a few stones that are currently lying on my desk. Tuesday night we went out on a date, we ate at a New Orleans themed restaurant the food was really good but we decided that we'd make dessert at home, we made the most deliciously digusting dessert, we had earlier that day made M&M-pancakes, and we had some pancake-batter left, we made pancakes and ate them with Ben and Jerry's ice-cream and M&M's.

Wednesday morning Chris had to do Skype-calls with his teacher, I slept most of the time while he did schoolwork, and when he was done Chris needed a nap, so he napped while I tumblered on my phone, Chris woke up after a bit and we watched Brainscoop and Chris decided that dead wo´lf looks rather delicious, which I decided not to comment on, after lazying in bed for a while we ate really late breakfast and spend the rest of the day being a bit lazy, and then went to the cinema in the evening, where we watched Django Unchained, we had a lot of fun, but the heat seemed to have been turned all the way up, so it got really warm and Chris giggled at me when he found out that I'd taken one of my boots of to cool down a bit.

We spend Valentines Day, Thursday, going to the Ulster Museum in Belfast, which to me seem like the perfect date, Chris got overlt dramatic when we read about the Vikings raids in Ireland and Northern Ireland, but he couldn't keep a straight face very long when I played along. We looked at all the animals and might have spend a really long time "awwwwing" at animals, and we fell in love with a leatherback turtle (and learned that they are quite a lot bigger than we thought they'd be), we went for lunch at a Subway and dandered around Belfast for a bit, we ended up like a soon-to-be-married looking at rings, it took us a while to realise how weird we were being. We went home when Chris feet started hurting (poor baby), we accidentially scared a kid away on the trainride home. That evening Chris cooked tuna-steaks for us (he even allowed me to help him a bit), after dinner we went to buy eggs and M&M's because we wanted to make pancakes again, but this time we found blue food colouring in the cabinet and decided to have some fun with it.

Friday we went for a dander around Bangor (which is the town Chris lives in) we walked around a park and looked at pretty birds, then we went for lunch and in the afternoon Chris had to meet with a woman about some school stuff, and I went a long with my book and sat there reading while Chris was all seriousface with his school stuff in the evening Chris and I went for indian food, which we ate in front of the television, enjoying a bit of quiet time before his brother (who'd come home from New Zealand Thursday morning) came home from the airport where he'd picked up their sister, and then there was no more quiet, I was surprised to learn that Chris might be the silent one in his family.

We decided not to go to bed that evening and ended up napping a bit on the sofa, and two we got up to get ready, a little to three we got into the car and drove to the airport where after a difficult goodbye I got on a plane twenty past seven, I travelled home via plane, train, bus and then some walking, were I came home to an empty house, I napped a bit and have now written all I feel like writing about my week.

My week with Chris was amazing, I love spending time with him, we can be silly about Mmmmm'n'Mmmmms and do silly things in public, we can be serious and talk about our future for hours. I've never felt this right with someone, I love him so very much.

And now after pouring my emotions on you aswell, I'm off to eat a bit...
