Last thursday was australia day, and it was the day of our exam for the danish course. There are a lot of australians here, and they Love to drink, so of course there was a party. I got invited third hand, since I'm not properly in with the australian crowd, but it was all good. On the way in the door, we met a guy going to the same party as us. He's a polish canadian, and he's in copenhagen to make a movie, but he wanted to take some danish, and that's how he got involved. Oh my, that's a very danish comma scheme in the last sentence.

Anyhow, later on, the polish canadian dude (whose name has disappeared from my head for some reason but I hope if we meet again, it will return) was smoking in the hallway and I went by and chatted with him and his friend (or just a guy he met by the ashtray, see, smoking is good for making friends and being bitter, so two things) for awhile on the way to the bathroom. And his friend was belgian and tall and skinny with a huge grin. If we had babies, they would have the best smiles ever.

And then he left, this smiling belgian. And we said "oh, we should hang out" and I said "I'm sure we'll see each other around, I'm so glad to have met you, and we can get each other's phone numbers sometime" and he was like yes. And then he was unsure of when and how we would see each other around, so we decided we'd better exchange numbers then.

So now I have his phone number, and it's a week later, and what do I do? I think I will text message him... Do you think just a general, hello, do you remember me, sort of thing? Or is it better to say hello, do you remember me, and would you like to go for coffee (except I don't drink coffee, so hot chocolate)? Or even "would you like to go to the cafe (which is really a bar) under my apartment and have a drink?" Or is it better to just phone him? No, I can't face that, it's too much stress. It's not like we have to date, either, really I just want friends, although he is adorable.

Also, there are other people I want to call/text and further my friendship with, but I am sick. It seems silly to call them and say "hey, let's hang out, but we can't talk because my brain is too fuzzy and I don't really want to leave the house or have you over to mine".

And now I should... go... buy some peanut butter... and eggs... and broccoli and tofu... Yup!
