So - I am safely back in Greenland and already bemoaning that I have to work where I currently work, although it's only the third day of what could eventually become 3-4 months only.

Yes, I am pensive about what I should do and how I should do them, allow me to explain... Meeting up with me kid brother again, with whom I've had developed an estranged relationship due to the physical distance betwext us, and discussing various aspects of life, it all got me thinking that I am not happy just providing enough money for expensive booze - 1 litre kurant vodka is $50 ca. - and fags - Marlboro's'll cost yer $7 ca. - and the odd expensive restaurant trips... You know, just making it by in a life of luxury, with little desire for anything else. Christfuck, I've even lost the desire to write and draw and have lately witnessed how it all seems so ill-exercised, whatever I do. So, I have a couple of blokes that could provide me with precious happiness, the one here, the other in Denmark - and that could last me into the duration of the W3. You know me, I am absolutely convinced that it'll be in July/August. Suddenly, time has become pressurized for me. If I wish to try my luck with Torben, the one in Denmark (and I have every reason to believe we will be beautiful) then it leaves me to try and save up for the fare and living in a frenzied manner, as I have spent far too much during my vacations. If not, then it is relatively safe here, and I know that my bloke here is less unwilling to restrain himself within the confines of a relationship ewven though we have golden moments and amazing sex. + the fact that I hate Greenland as a country...

Ultimately, I am to resolve this by myself but please extend your kindness to try and help me with solidifying which path I must partake.

Jeg er ikke noget stort svin - kun et lille svin og kun ind imellem.

"You are nice proper and attractive but I already have a boyfriend..."

I'm off to shoot myself.

I think.

my dad was stationed in greenland when he was in the army. he was unloading ships up in Thule. He said the only time he ever saw women were when Swedish ships would come into port, because the crew would always have one or two smuggled away.

I remember him saying he was so far north he had to look south to see the Northern Lights...

Anyway, I hope things work out for you. Let us know.

You know, life sometimes is so fuckingfucking unfair, whyfuck can't I get a fucking rest, just sometimes, huh?

You know what? I have just received this from Laila:

"Well hello there,

I worry a little about you, please tell me you are well.



What can I say, I am a bit fed up with people in general and Holland, Bendt every day, I read in the news papers, new plans to take away absolute freedom of the Dutch people, and yet these rightfully called cows, do not see or notice a dam thing. They want to force the women to go to work when they have children, they want to make it a law, they want to stop social welfare, they are going to stop the 5 day working weeks contracts into working when you are needed, so this means that they want the people to be open workers, who only will make money when the boss needs them, meaning much less money to live of, since the euro every thing has doubled in price. People are starting to complain out in the streets that they can not get by anymore, every thing has become so expensive.
Then this food thing, they are fucking major with our fresh foods, they have this new law, unspoken of and not known by the people, we do not have raw meats anymore in the stores, its all been frozen and prepared in some ways, I noticed it, the cats do not like the meat to much anymore, the meat does not contain the much needed blood for the cats, they are carnivores, remember, the blood of the prey is like some medicine shot. They are fucking with the eggs as well, its now forbidden for restaurants to serve soft boiled eggs, and they are talking about making it a law for the supermarkets, to sell boiled eggs, they say that we buy boiled eggs during eastern so why not the whole year? Now fruits, its horrible, the bananas are being washed in a chemical substance that prevents the yeast of the banana to turn into sugars, meaning they are preventing the bananas to become ripe. Then in England they are saying that they want to forbid certain tropical fruits from getting in. they have stopped the bananas from getting in England and the people are pretty angry, for many cultures bananas are a very important part of their menu. Holland is saying now as well that it wants to raise the import tax on especially tropical fruits. And sharpen the laws on importing tropical foods as well. The US is saying that they are afraid that salmonella might come into the country from tropical fruits, so they want to prevent that from happening, so they are sharpening the laws as well. Then about Brazil, and Brazil nuts, they have stop the flow of brazil nuts from coming into Holland or anywhere else for that matter, since almost 2 years now. I asked and asked and nobody could give me an answer.

[And then personal stuff]

I am at a stage where I am asking what the fuck happened to me in 2000? I know it was real hell, my friend to proof that it was real and all the people out in the street, BUT BUT BUT, why? Do you understand, I am sick of seeing sick people, I am sick of knowing what they feel, I get sick when I smell their sick body odors, or when I hear them whine and not knowing nor remembering a dam thing, that makes me sick and I am getting a headache.

I am starting to ask myself what did happen? Who where these people I heard talking about me? And why me? Bendt I have been looking and every time somebody cam close to what I know I mailed them, but non of them have come close to what I have experienced, and I really wonder, what the fuck did happen?
I think that they guy I kissed was used to set me up, that he put some trip in my desert where I took one bite from, you know that sounds like snow white and her stepmother, the apple, it took only one bite, anyway, do you understand?

You know there is something you do not know and I have only been starting to question it lately myself.
I have a scar on my forehead and I have this thing since I can remember, I thought I got it because I had some fight with my brother during a play, but it turns out he has a different memory for he has one on his forehead as well, we both have different memories of how we got it and the weird part is that my mother does not have a memory regarding our scars on our foreheads, I have told you that my brother is a visual psychic? He can bring whole scenes and faces from events and people right in front of them, he can talk to you and gues what you are wearing, isn’t that cool? Anyway I am starting to think that we might be one of these kids that they did something to isn’t that weird?

What do you say?"

First of all, I say bullfuckingshit.

You know, she has a tendency to forget all that she has been saying after her "trip," and only a handful of these have made their way here, and she has been right on all of the things she said would happen.

We have a report - I believe psychic - where we know how the other is and how the other feels. I knew she was feeling shit, I knew she was doubting herself, but I had no way to confirm it from her because I was staying away from all contact because of what happened with the military chopper and the military man verbally abusing her; and when I received a letter from the police, which was delivered personally in Denmark, I thought it was for the best not to see and not to contact her until I was safely back. Needless to say, I went through a bizarre happenstance at the airport.

But she will be fine, this much I know.

And, aww, I have also just received a letter from Torben, wherein he says he misses me.

What a bizarre fucking day.

No disrespect to you, p- b-, but yes, yes it is. Or was.

I have been through hell with no money, no place and - I thought - no future. That I could cope with, and the sensitiveness to many bad things of my surroundings and the people on this earth, that I can cope with, although oft-times aided by booze because it helps block my receivers.

But the dangerous thing that is to leave oneself vulnerable in the face of another - fark, that's trouble I haven't bothered with for many of my years, and only in the past year have I been waiting for my mate.

But it gets worse, Peter, the one here, has a GIRLfriend - kæreste = partner - and I thought it was...

It just changes everything for me, to the effect where I am willing to stay and be his occassional bitch.

I still reside in the dilemma because Greenland to me is the easy life, while Denmark is struggle and no further chances to return to my "easygoing" life.

RMR - it sounds to me as if the Denmark option might be better even if it does require a bit more effort; you sound as if you're fairly fed up with Greenland, the job, and the expense - and if you're fed up with it now, how are you going to feel in a couple of months?

Also - prostrating yourself at someone else's feet when they are attached to another person is probably not going to do your self-esteem any favours.

I hope you feel better about things very soon...

RRM, this is an oddly conventional 'angsty unrequited love' Barbe-post for you - if anything's likely to convince me the end of the world is nigh, it's you behaving so... normally.

Seriously, though, it isn't the end of the world. You know there'll be others. Keep your, erm, 'pecker' up. As they say...

Ganesh: "'angsty unrequited love'"

Well, it's a bit stranger than that. He does at the very least like me, Peter does, and the way he has behaved is so fucking sweet. It is no lie to tell you that I have never had it so good with another man. Our mail exchange of the last days has shown to me he is willing to continue some form of relationship, however odd.

But in the other corner is Torben, who I spoke with on the phone last night, and he came very close to tell me that he loves me. And he was a little mad at me because I chose to tell him everything.

What can I say, I am very loveable at the moment.

But, Torben willing, I think I am taking a trip to Denmark soon, and this time it will be permanent. Well, as permanent as the circumstances allow.
