So a couple of acquaintances of mine and myself decided to go out yesterday, after having been on my balcony sipping beer the rest of the day. We ended up on Aker Brygge, and ended up emptying some pitchers of beer (about 1.6 liter of beer).

Due to the probability to white-wash money, the terminal doesn't allow you to tip the waitresses more than close to 100% of the price of the item purchased, no matter how cute the Swedish waitress is.

This actually took two attempts to find out, but I got "sum too large" twise, which screwed up my plan to leave my business card in the terminal after the swipe (keep the business card right next to the debet card an it is stuck when your card is out). Why? Because I had to swipe another time to be permitted to enter the 3rd grand total (which it accepted, although that only gave her a 13 USD tip for the last pitcher instead of 45 or so).

Well, I thought screw it and gave her my business card anyways, and I must admit the color of her face reminded me of a cooked lobster (fairly red)

She probably won't call, but at least we had a fun time out.

I must say I don't at all enjoy my status as single, which I've been now since February.

My (now) ex and I were together for about two years, of which we lived together for the past eight months. Despite our differences and arguments I have never been as proud as when I had her in my life. I confronted her with this the last time we spoke, the same day we decided not to have any further contact at all. Her response was, "what, like a galleon figure?"

I tried to explain to her that it was a matter of feeling belonging, of having found a girl I cared for, someone I actually imagined spending the rest of my life with. Well, she obviously had other plans.

I really do have to find a new girl to care for, because single life just isn't my thing. For that matter, neither is one night stands, I find myself repeatedly missing having someone in my arms while watching a movie, or just sitting and talking more than sex itself.

Of course, to find a new girl I have to listen to Brad's guidelines, which he posted in a comment on another blog of mine. I still fail #1

Brad’s n rules for meeting chicks for geeks

1. In order to meet girls you have to actually go outside and meet girls in places where girls are likely to hang out. Think of it like a directory on your harddrive. You have to go to the music directory to find music.

I'm not a very outgoing person, actually, I'm a very little outgoing person. If I find a girl at a club, I can be fairly sure that she isn't the girl for me, unless she is the one looking exceptionally bored in a corner. I actually even signed up for a matching site the other day, I have nothing too loose. The only thing I could've lost would've been my dignity, but somewhere in the breakup the ex got away with what I had of that.

My summer vacation progresses, with the company of my cousin from out of town that is attending a summer internship with Earnst & Young.

I completed the form to enroll to Law school today, well before the deadline to send it in at 4th of August. This comes in addition to the business school I'm primarily attending at the Norwegian School of Management, where I'm on my way for a Masters of Science in Business and Economics, with a major in Finance.

I still haven't found a new girl to care for after the breakup with the significant other in february, so should probably put some effort into that throughout the summer, at least there is an oasis of possibilities right across the street. That dorm house is fairly nicely located.

So for everyone else, maybe except for the ex, eh 🙂 have a good summer
