Oof. The snowpocalypse hits Sweden...

[luzula]

...and my overnight train trip takes 27.5 hours instead of 13.5 hours. /o\

I'm okay though--I brought lots of water and sandwiches in anticipation of this. Plus, the train company stopped in Ånge and got all the passengers pizza from a local pizza place.

We have also moved. Or rather, my boyfriend had to do the moving, since I was stuck on a train. But he had lots of help from friends, and most of the stuff is moved. We are now at a friendlier place (and my address has changed, so email me and ask for my new one in case you want to post something to me). I anticipate a problem from the thin wall between our room and the living room, though--I have a hard time sleeping when there's noise. /o\ Oh well, I'll probably sleep tonight, anyway. Wow, I'm tired. *goes to bed*

Ah, the joys of train travelling in a blizzard. Yesterday my sister's short trip between Stockholm and Gothenburg got delayed 15.5 hours, 11 of those stuck in Kumla (insert obvious joke here). As the true northerner I am I'm going 'those bloody southerners, doesn't know how to handle a bit of snow.'

Best of luck at the new place!

Well, I don't think it was wholly the fault of the southerners (says the southerner *g*). It can't be easy driving a train in weather like that. Also, after Gävle there was only one woman staffing the whole train (well, except for the driver, of course). I felt sorry for her.

*twirls you*

And look, Ånge is the center of Sweden. How cool!

I'm glad you've managed (well, your boyfriend, anyway) to move out of your old place into a friendly new place. Send me the new address when you have a chance.

\o/

[luzula]

Huh, I didn't know it was the center of Sweden. Cool.

Yes, will email you...

Frankly, that's the best excuse for not-helping-with-moving ever. /kidding.

Congrats on the move!

My favorite new word about the extreme winter we've been having is SnOMG. Is it starting to melt yet?

[luzula]

Hee, I love your icon.

Yeah, it's good to have moved, but most of our stuff is still in boxes. We're unpacking a little every day...

And melt, no. The snow probably won't have melted away up here until the end of April or something.

I'm glad you're at a better place!!!

And why don't I have you friended here (ponders)

[luzula]

Hi! Yes, it's a friendlier place, though it is smaller than the place you saw. So we still have some stuff we don't quite know where to stow yet.

And friended!

27.5 hours instead of 13.5 hours. /o\

*gapes* That sounds NOT FUN. I think I'm lucky in some ways to live in such a small country; you could probably get from one end of Britain to the other and back in that time.

Is that your old address that you emailed me the other day? I can has your new address plz? :)

[luzula]

Yeah, it was pretty tedious, but there were nice people in my compartment. Although they did talk non-stop for hours, which made me retreat to my book after a while.

I'm pretty sure I gave you the new address, though I can't find my email/message now. If the area code is not 903 36, it's the new one!

[kill-claudio.livejournal.com]

You sent me the new one, then. Thank you!

[luzula]

All right, I've sent off your Patrick O'Brian books now, so they should hopefully reach you soon. I forgot to tell you that the covers are different--that is, they're not all the same edition, if you're bothered by that kind of thing.

Actually, one of the covers is kind of hilarious, because it makes it look like the book is porn (which is very far from being the case). It's a picture of a guy lying back, his shirt half unbuttoned, his head thrown back, and his skin kind of sweaty and glistening. I wonder why they chose that cover. *g*

[kill-claudio.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you! Different covers don't bother me in the slightest - in fact, I can't wait to see the cover with the semi-naked guy. *g* I've just started reading the first one - I was hooked from the moment Stephen dug his elbow into Jack's ribs. So cute!
