I survived this weekend ...but only with some mistakes, drama and lack of sleep..and I know I have stepped on some toes and hurt someone's feelings..unintentionally of course..
Let's start from the beginning..and that was on Thursday when my best friend came to visit me for a long weekend. I had to sneak out from the Anatomy lecture to pick up my friend at the train station with auntie Red slowing me down..and leaving details out..
We decided on cooking at home instead of going out for dinner...and on the menu was Vietnamese cooking: Soup, Vietnamese tapas, fruit cocktail with ice cream and some wine.
We invited a dear friend of mine that was totally wrong if he expected the food to be ready and served..oh no, cause my friend put him to work helping out preparing dinner, LOL
The best company and great food makes a perfect evening!! :-)
I had no school on Friday so we had all day to just catch up and enjoy each others company. No need to bore everyone all with details but on the schedule was "The Annual Food Festival" at Aker Brygge where we tasted a lot of delicious Norwegian food, "The Book Festival" on Karl Johan where we fetched some freebies as well, a concert we didn't have time to go to and also a night out with "New To Oslo".
We got invited to dinner at my friend's uncle's place where we had some delicious
Vietnamese Duck and meat soup with a tasty cake and red wine.
We still managed to go out that evening with the intention to join others at "Sosialen".. just to experience that it was very crowded there since we got there so late, but on the bright side, there was lots of good looking guys to rest our eyes on...and lots of people to socialize with.
My friend was recognized by someone that came over and asked if her name was... just when she answered him he walked away..so she didn't get to know the name of the guy who knew her..oh well..LOL
All of a sudden someone I couldn't place at first passed by us..I had to wave and he came over to talk and then I remembered that he was someone I dated a few times. Please don't think I date so much I don't remember them but it all happened so quickly while I was having a conversation with someone else. While I was chatting with this guy another woman new just interfered and started talking to him...like she didn't know he was having a conversation with me??
I know and have seen guys doing that if they wanna talk to a woman but this was the first I ever experienced a woman doing that, LOL.. I sat there watching it happen and another guy next to us told me I should just get the guys attention or else he would tell the girl to back off..I didn't want to make a scene but as soon as I looked at the guy he saw the chance to turn away from the other woman...quite funny if you ask me, like if it mattered to me who talked to who but there's somethings you just don't do and that's to break up a conversation..at least that's my opinion..
We got a pretty early start on Saturday and met up with some guys that were having lunch...one a writer with a hangover and the other just visiting Oslo for the weekend...and before we knew it with had a personal driver, a nice tapas dinner and company for the rest of the day.
We decided to have some drinks at my place and invited some guys over.. and a little later the ciders and vodka bottle was empty and time to head out.
Then it got complicated...and I should know, but always forget that it's hard to please everyone when deciding on which bar to go to so in the middle of the street we had to split into 2 groups...I went with someone and my friend went with someone else without even having a cellphone on her and not knowing the streets of Oslo. We were supposed to meet up with here but she didn't have a great time where she was and ended up going to the bar where I was. It was more going one there and more lively.. lots of people to chat with..and me starting a conversation with a tall gentleman (X) wasn't so popular by someone else in our company and I stepped on someone's feeling just by being myself and socialize that I normally do. I haven't been out partying in a long time so it was really nice to just have some drinks, a good time and chat with people..just saying it was good I didn't have much to drink or else I could have made more damage...I was only being myself and having a good time without knowing I was starting to ruin someone's evening and that person to walked away pretty upset with me, without a goodbye and leaving me kinda speechless...something that happens rarely.
I never want to hurt anyone's feelings and being put in a corner about it all wasn't fun..in the middle of the street after midnight...with a phone with a dead battery so I couldn't even say sorry or explain myself :-(
The night went on regardless, with a cab ride to another bar where we stayed until closing time..with stomachs that were killing us from a day of almost no food. X ended up taking us for an after midnight meal before walking us home.. and finally in bed @ 5 am sending an apologizing SMS before snoozing off.
Sunday morning was tough after a long weekend and almost no food, feeling kinda sick and my friend giving me grief for not asking for X's number since she thought I should have stayed in touch with him...and to quiet her I showed her I could get the number if I used my investigation skills..
Give this blonde girl some credit, ha ha....what I did with the info I got you can just wonder...;-)
Sunday slowly ended and we had to say goodbye. I just hope it won't be long until her and I get to have some crazy fun again..girl-time rocks!!!!
