Speaking of Helene running from an unknown scary entity in the dark.... I have a couple of memories of scaring Helene in particular. She was so easy. I recall times such as being at her house for a sleepover, we were looking in a basement closet for something - peering from the doorway to see… Continue reading Scaring Helene
I could swear I've told this story before... but I can't find it on this blog, my old blog, or in the manuscript for my original book... There's a broken link in a post where I talk in general about Annemieke on my old blog, I think maybe I did and then accidentally deleted it… Continue reading If Helene Starts to Run
Maja said she is done with me. Haha, sure sure Maja... This is, what? The umpteenth time you're done with me now? I was having conversations with Felix and conversations with the girl group - Maja, Ulice, and Frida - over the last weekend. At some point in the girl chat we were discussing the… Continue reading Done With Me? Naaaah. She Still Loves Me.
“It’s your turn to sit in the back, Emma.” “Only if you put the top up!” I said as I climbed into the back of Stacey’s convertible. It was the middle of Swedish winter and we had made Annemieke ride in the back on the way to the Young Life meeting. Stacey liked to put… Continue reading You Want to What to Who Now?
One night, I was walking down Sveavägen, a big main road in Stockholm, with Bethany with the intent to meet up with someone. Drew, I think, initially... But there were supposed to be a handful of people wherever we were going to be ending up. I think it had to do with a church youth… Continue reading We Were Useless That Night
In Sweden, I used to hang out with a particular group of non-school friends a lot. I met the American sisters Bethany and Christa through church, and we would get together for what was initially supposed to be a small group Bible study thing with a couple other guy friends. Eventually it kind of side… Continue reading The “Bible Study” Group
Monkey Bar, besides being the place in which I was nearly raped by two high dudes, is where Maja and I met two other guys – Per and Rikard. I, personally, was really attracted to Per, but he was dating some girl. A very jealous girl that would text me awful things when she found… Continue reading Monkey Bar
In Sweden, for several weeks in the spring of your graduation, you attend various studentskivas which are parties for various graduating friends or groups. For mine I just invited my three best friends over for a nice meal, Ulice, Annemieke, and Maja. Maja, however; was grounded and couldn’t make it. That girl was grounded so… Continue reading Vi Tar Studenten 2002
Maja is the only person I have actually threatened with a blog post, and actually followed through with it... I often say to my friends "Don't make me write a blog post about you!" or "This is SO going on my blog!" ...But usually, it's an empty threat; an attempt at humour, except when it… Continue reading I Don’t Know! I Was Pissed At You!
When I was a senior in Gymnasium, I was staying with some of my family's friends while my family had moved back to the US. This would have been the second semester of the 2001-2002 school year. These friends of the family were missionaries. And those parents tried to impose a curfew on me... 10… Continue reading A 10 PM Curfew… Were They Kidding?
