Bifröst 2003

No socks, no sex and NO SHEEP!

Friday, November 28, 2003

Hello everyone,

Sorry for not writing that much. I could tell you i have no time ( half true ) but the truth is i am lazy enought sometimes and internet is not cheap here ( 4 euros per hour ) and i am not very wealthy even if i am propably getting a job in an art and essay cinema. the one taking care of the nordik movie festival in france, taking place in Rouen each martch. So speaking english, have travelled and having an icelandic gielfriend helped me out a bit to get it ( yeah yeah i have to admit i used you love...;) ).
LEA is interesting, i am getting very goo in spanish, but i am working a lot ( brand new for me cause i never did a fucking thing at school, arguing with teachers, not turning up at school, and bla bla ) and improving my english. German is easy enought so far even if i have the very bad habit to say the few words i know with a dutch accent.
My fellow student are quite young and i am basically teaching them about life ( arrogant isnt it ? ) and kicking the asses of the ones thinking they know so much more about strikes and demonstrations than me ( sooo easy when you started to strike and protest since 1995 ) and get almost each time a kind of orgasm when i see the gap in some sectors of knowledge between them and me.
I am starting to miss saga like hell and it is not easy. It starts to get on my temper and i have to admit i am a bit depressed for the past 3 days ( saga + 3 months in a country full of french and french inside idea of europe and the world ( cf the stability pact, typical from the gvt cause the people here think what a lack of respect for the rest of UE ) = spleen )
I have been thinking about moving to swedem to work and live ( dont know why ) but i wont cause now its time to work.
Rouen is nice but the weather is a bit depressing sometimes.
I dont go out that muh cause i dont want to be involved too much with people even if i found some english and spanish to hang around ( i dont trust me when it comes to go out by night )

ok bisous et bless bless,
Seb

AArrrgggg.... I was in such a good mood this morning. Snow has covered the whole city, lights are up and everything is so... christmas! Ok, just thinking of that got me in a better mood... Im in school right now, and we just had volleyball in gym, one class vs. another, (people almost never annoy me, and I dont really care about stupid volleyballgames) but the judge was this REALLY annoying girl in class one and all "the rules" she made up! was in favour of her class. . . bitch, all of the girls in the "another class" are so frustreded now that you would not want to meet any of them alone in a dark alley.., I almost had to hold my friend back so she wouldnt attack the annoying girl. . WELL you just had to be there. . .
Ok... think christmas. . .
Ok, I am better. . . just had to get this off my mind.
Miss you all
Love Drífa

Ok for those of you who have been following the rugby ....that will probably be Seb, Marie and Gulli i have one thing to say...F*****g Poms!!!...but one thing must be said about that last game and if you saw it you got to agree it was if not THE game of the century it was up there amongst the best despite who won. I mean what a f*****g cliffhanger...i reckon the whole of New Zealand was on the edge of thier seats in the extra time but then probably so was the rest of the world. I mean how many times does a game of Rugby ever go into extra time .....one might as well say never. I was rooting for the Aussies all the way but alas as we all knew it was going to come down to Wilkinson and his boot in the end....but in the last seconds....f*** me!!!One to rmember for ever....what a f*****g legend!!! Now i have said my piece and now the All Blacks have 4 years to sort themselves out and bring the cup home..........

To change "headlines" of the page. . just go in "Settings" ->Basics. . .change into whatever you like.. and press "Save changes". . .then when you go out of it (the settings.. to do that you can press "posts" on the left of settings). . . and at last press the ORANGE "publish" button on the right, middle of the page. . . .voila! Easy, yes:)

In addition. . here is: Pixies - Where Is My Mind.mp3
Gulli....i am pleased to hear that even if you leave France with no knowledge gained whatsoever at least you have started to gain a passion and understanding for the game of Rugby and also good to hear you were behind the All Blacks as well. By the way if you cannot understand the rules you are not alone as there are many rules that a lot down here do not understand...as it is said down here if you are not sure what rule has been broken then just yell offside and everyone will agree as that is one that everyone is finding it really hard to come to grips with. And who are you going to be behind tonight....the French or the All Blacks???? Whatever may the best team win...preferably us. Cheers!!

oh.. yeah and by the way brian, i sympathies with you i really do... i've been playing a real hot shot here telling everybody that the all blacks were deffinetly going to win, since they had after all won the tri-nations cup... kinda was hoping to see them play in the finals...

but anyway for you kiddies in iceland that have never seen a rugby-game... just to tell you that i've found this to be a better "thynnku-ithrott" than even the formula 1, and you can actually watch this, even if you dont understand the rules...

gulli
Just out of curiosity, would anybody out there be interested to go to marocco next summer for maybe 4 or 5 weeks? maybe go to algiers and tunis for a couple of days as well? just wondering

Hey guys i know you have heard very little from me from the deep south and unfortunately you are going to hear even less as after the shock defeat yesterday of the boys in black by them f*****g wallabies( yeah Marie i bet your other half is on top of the world just now .....but who u going to go for if it comes down to a Oz - France final?????) the whole nation has gone into mourning ....suicides have risen dramatically in the last 12 hours or so .... domestic violence,divorces and alcoholism too....and the very upper levels of New Zealand Rugby Supporting Society is calling for John Mitchell and his sidekick Deanes to be subjected to making a mass apology to all New Zealanders live on tv and in the middle of Eden Park and for all New Zealanders to be able to access the Park free to vent their personal greivances and disgust at Mr Mitchell and Deanes in what ever way they see fit be it physical or otherwise. But for the team itself to be all given knighthoods and forever ordained in the New Zealand Hall of Fame...up there with legends like Hillary,Snell and Blake....to name a few. For having tried to go and nearly got to where o other All Blacks have gone since 1987 and just for having had to put up with the Mitchell and Deanes of this heavenly land and having been led astray by their f****d up preachings!!! A national day of mourning has been declared for next Saturday...all work will stop be it essential or not and there will be a 24 hour display of silence....in honour of the greats who fell in battle through the errors of the not so great two. And for Seb and Marie i truly hope that the French kick some serious ass when they meet the English tonight ...then the Blacks will meet them Poms on Thursday and we give them an even bigger hiding...it will be a more devastating and traumatic defeat than a World War 3....and boy will it be so sweet.
As for a France - Oz final....i am sorry my French friends but i shall be behind the Aussies all the way. May the Cup remain in the South as it always has and always will!!!!!! Anyway now i have said my little peace in the name of all New Zealanders i am taking my tear streaked face to the pub and to join the rest in mourning over a jug or two of New Zealands finest anti depressant. And well we can all look forward to and dream of victory(????) in 2007.

Kia kaha ..............Brian

would just like to point out that marie actually lives in the middle of fu**ing nowhere! but here place is too cool! and yeah emil dont let her lie to you! she doesnt have any sheep!!! none whatsoever!!!

anyway like i said her place is too cool, the surroundings to beautifull and her parents to great, to kind! love it there! and even though she doesnt have any sheep she still has some chicken :D

and the thing on sunday wasnt my fault! i had to do that you know! had to "represent" my homies in iceland! had to show everyone that being icelandic means being alcoholic!!!

and oh yeah marie, you were WAY drunk saturday :d but then again, so was i kinda...

Gulli
dont even try to put this one over on me marie!!! anyway, "somebody" i know played some handball last saturday night, (not the best playing i've seen but still they tried), and afterwards decided to try to forget that which had just happened in the game... anyways later that same night you could hear throug out the middle of nowhere: "j'suis pas bourree!!!" (i'm not drunk) and "popplag i g-duuuuur"...

anyway this "somebodies" friends seem to think that after this person has changed after being in iceland, she... sorry, this individual seems to get more often drunk, a LOT more drunk... could this be the icelandic phsyce?
it has been now 2 days that my icelandic ,alcoholic friend surnamed Gulli has left the middle of nowwhere (French side).
SOrry guys for the one we woke up or we disturb on Saturday night! But once again my Icelandic friend was crying , and asking about his Bifröst 'family so I could not stop him to call in the middle of the night.
We had a nice, quiet Saturday but you should have seen our Gulli on Sonday night in the night club totally drunk , trying to speaking some French"j'ai mal a la tete, so wasted!!!I had to ask my friend to help me to take Gulli to the car he couldn't even walk. ahlala your were so funny Gulli!
it's a long time we have heard from you all, you should be very buzy! Ya Suvi, I know you have a lot to do....It's not so obvious to prepare a big new year for all Bifröst 'Family...
Allez, A bientot .
Bonne Nuit

Hi hi,
yes Suvi, ofcourse we are all coming, it's never to late. ;o)
You know what, this is a very small country. Last night I was just watching TV in my room, pretty bored, nothing in the TV and then suddenly my phone screams. I received an SMS. It turns out to be my little sister. She asked me if I knew anyone called Sjani. Yes there was a Stjani at Biiiiifrost. Anyway,apparentlyy Stjani is my sisters boyfriends best friend ! This is TOOOOO small country ! Just wanted to share this with you !
ciao Sandra
I think Brian is really smoking..He just hid it very well in Bifröst and you can only see it in the pictures..
I'm having my friday offday, which means that I'm not having school on Fridays in this episode. That's not too bad and I have decided to dedicate this day for cleaning=) So soon I'm going to scrub and polish, hoover and wash..What a beautiful morning!
We are having our first home warming party tomorrow. I think it should be called home warning party, because I'm almost sure we are going to get a warning after the party..Oh yes, you are also all invited and I have prepared some beds for you if you want to stay overnight. I hope the invitation didn't come too late and you will all make it..You all know that me and Pekka will definately take it personally if you don't come! So see you soon!
Love, Suvi

Sorry I haven't written lately yadayadayada...

I just found myself sitting here at the hotel pulling an extrashift, realising it's been a while since I've written something, although I have had time on my side, so here we go:

I spent some days in Denmark, ( hmmm.... wait a minutte, maybe that's why I haven't posted anything for while...! ) more exactly 11 and I'll have to say it's more fun down there than I remembered. I had some alcohol, threw up and repeted myself the next day and so forth. I used to do that before too, but it just seems more fun now... maybe because it's been so long.

Returning straight back to work somehow made my life up here seem a little bit more boring, so now I'm wondering if I shouldn't go back to Denmark and get on my way to becoming a chef, ( yes, the kind of guy that makes food... Haukur and Kári, you are probably kicking yourselves in exitement... ) to spice up my life a little.

When you think about it as "going to to school" the excitement sort of dies out, but then again most of you guys seem happy with it, so maybe I'll give this education thing a shot.

Anyway, happy to see the pictures ( and there are even one of me... very good! ) and to get a sign of life from the southern hemisphere. I'm hereby pledging that my next mail will be sent downthere, so, Brian, I hope you're clapping your hands joyfully together. For the rest of you, I don't hear very much neither here or by mail. What are you guys doing all the time?

Emil.
