Happy new year to all my readers from north america and from Sweden also! My parents came down and we had a pretty good time on xmas and the new years eve. They gave me lots of gifts which was nice. I am so glad that I had all that time off because I had been working really long days and trying to make a good impression at the company I work for. I think I did a pretty good job and hopefully soon I will be able to get a promotion. I know I haven't been there very long but my manager is named Lars and he is from Sweden too so he likes me and thinks that I have potential so I am very happy about that fact and so are my wonderful parents.
I went out with that girl Theresa before the new year. We met at a bar and had drinks and she introduced me to a few of her friends both girls and guys. They are a pretty cool bunch of people. Not big party people, they are very intellectual and socially conscience so there was a lot of talk about politics and what not. I spent much of that time just listening because obviously I am new to the USA and I don't know much about the politics here but I was able to share with them about how Sweden is and they all appreciated my insight on how things are done in another country different than the United States.
I was having a hard time flirting with Theresa because there were so many people in our group and there was a lot of intense discussion going on and not a lot of playful activity. I wanted to take her to another part of the bar and be alone with her so we could talk more and it could feel like more of a date but I was too scared to ask cuz she seemed to be listening so intently to what her friends were saying all the time. She was one of those people that listens really hard and nods up and down when you talk etc. It was cute but at the same time I could see how this type of behavior could get really irritating really fast.
Towards the end of the night I did get a chance to talk to her a bit one on one but by that time the vibe was slipping. I was pretty confused by the whole evening. I was wondering what was wrong with this girl. I think she is very guarded and that is why she invited me on a date with a group of people so that she had a cushion to deal with and didn't have to be alone with me and answer pointed questions etc. It is a shame because she is a good looking bookworm type of girl and she has a lot of potential but not with all that shyness and being so guarded.
I never got a chance to hold her hand of kiss her so I was like blah this sucks and we parted ways and I didn't bother to send her any messages because I thought she wasn't interested but she just sent me a message today asking me why I never messaged her and I was like wtf. So I asked her what happened and she said that she had a good time and that I was a nice guy and she thought I was cute. I asked her why she seemed so distant then and she said it is because the last guy she was with was an asshole and broke her heart and cheated on her etc so I was like ok. So I told her I will go out with her again but this time it has to be just the two of us and we need to go somewhere quiet so we can chat and stuff.

Sarah Update
Great news everyone! I heard from Sarah and she seems like she is into me. Well I am not sure but I think so lol. She was wondering why I had taken so long to talk to her more online. She asked me if I was too busy with all my other girls I have on the side. She actually sounded a little bit jealous to me which was cool. Anyways she said we should go out again sometime but this time just the two of us. I told her I would love to and asked her what she had in mind. She said something simple like go to the movies would be cool so I am going to take her out on Friday night and watch a movie. I am not sure what kind of movies she is into so I better ask her that first. I am a really big film buff so I hope she doesn't say she likes gay movies with guys with hats and shirts and stuff cuz that would suck.
I really like a song called "That Song" by Big Wreck. I dunno if you all have heard it before but if you haven't then you should check it out.
Hockey was fun this week except that I got hit in the face with the ball like 3 times and one of them even drew blood. I was argghhh I am bleeding externally. Heh. My cardio seems to be getting better and better with every session plus I am not having as much pain in my legs and stuff. It is basically easier each time and I have more piss and vinegar each time. I am craving chicken big time. I need to eat some good chicken dishes. I am still getting used to the food over here. I prefer to cook swedish stuff that I am used to but who has time to do that. Easier to get fast food.
My parents are talking about potentially coming over to USA for xmas but then again they might all go to my uncle's place in Austria and in that case he would probably pay for me to go fly over there cuz he is rich. He is an investment banker and he does a lot of big deals between europe and the states. I don't really care either way. I guess I would like to go back to Sweden or Austria for christmas but I hate the long plane ride and the holiday travel headaches that always come up although it would be nice to rack up some more frequent flyer points. I don't really have much money for presents and stuff tho so having a quiet christmas here would be fine by me.
I met a Korean girl online named Lynda. She has very soft features and long flowing brown hair. She said she loves Radiohead and she has a lot of piercings. She seems kind of freaky to me and I have been chatting with her over email and on msn chat. She has a webcam but it's kind of dark. She said she is gonna buy a new one this week so that is cool. Man I can not wait for Entourage to come back on tv. I miss that show. All of my friends in Sweden watch this show all the time cuz it is our favorite. I have never really spent much time with exotic girls but I think they are interesting because they are different from me and in sweden there isnt much exotic girls. Most girls there have blonde hair and blue eyes. All of the guys I have met here in the USA so far are obsessed with girls who have blond hair and blue eyes but to me it is very common so for me it is the opposite and I am liking the brown/black hair with the brown eyes. Most swedish girls have very pale skin and it is cool for me to see darker and sometimes olive coloured skin - I like it because it is different. Anyways this girl Lynda works at the grocery store and said she would like to come over and see my place and I was like wtf why it is just a small dumpy apartment and she replied with "thats hot"
I am going to have her come over sometime soon
