Half Term Happenings

Days getting shorter and weather getting colder, I somehow found myself starting half term.

A great Copenhagen tradition was repeated: KulturNatten. Cultural events to kick off the half term every year. This time I went with Rasmus and Maria + a ton of internationals. It was great fun to show the event to people not familiar with it!
We went to the National Museum's Tolkien themed opening and tried our hands at archery! It was a long queue but worth it - and one of the guys even broke one of the long bows...

We then went for a light snack - free pancakes made over an open fire. That was a challenge...

Thorvaldsen's illuminated their sculptures throughout the night and the different setting made them all the more interesting.

We even got a flashlight to light up details we wanted to see clearer. The theme was "world submerged in water".

We then headed to the Jewish Museum. It never fails to make me slightly dizzy - the architecture is screwing with your sense of perspective etc.

We went by Arbejdermuseet on our way to Botanisk Have where we just made it in time to see the green house in beautiful colours.
It was such a good evening! It was not as cold as other years (even though the Americans thought it was freezing). We did end up going for a drink at Studenterhuset to get warm though.

The next evening I went to Kit's 25th birthday. It was so good to see people from the old gang. It's so odd to have gone from seeing each other as a group every week to only once in a while. 

Kit even made a Kit Kat cake !

Monday Louis and Maria joined me at Bastard Café. We played board games for many hours and just had such a nice time. And afterwards I went to my first ever croquis session - and I was complemented a lot for my work which felt really nice.

Then came GeekCore (will be posted seperately) and in the middle of the convention... Sophie and Mikkel's wedding!
It was such a special experience to be inside Vor Frue Kirke since you are not normally permitted to get married there. And to share their day was so nice.

I made this video of clips I recorded throughout the day as a little extra wedding present.
It truly is special how many people I've gotten to know through the years inside the community. Sophie had invited so many friends - since we've all been a part of each other's lives for so long.

Tribal makeup sweeped the nation and I just had to join ! It was such a great feeling to wear this hahah - I did NOT want to take it off.

I went to the DR Frit Spil event a week ago to partake in the cosplay catwalk.

The event was hosted by DR and it was really weird wearing cosplay in the halls of the Danish media house.

But it was nice to hang with some bbys.

And we had personalized dressing rooms!

Monday we went to the quiz night at Søhesten. The questions were real hard and that took some of the fun out of it. Still had a nice time though!

You can still feel like a million bucks with greasy hair.

I've turned up the drawing again. Or rather I'm drawing by hand instead of digitally. It's fun getting back to irl medium!

And my Swan Princess necklace arriveeeed.

Cold autumn nights calls for magic.

I've been using my Vespa a lot before it gets too cold. 

AND I GOT INTO UCLA!!!! I'm happy but suddenly also very stressed. So much to plan...

Going out with bbys such as Pernille and Izzy can end in weird earring stains?

Me and Izzy went to this flea market where you paid what your stuff weighed! Pretty fun. I found four super nice things (such as the baseball jersey from further up).

AND I've been baking in my new glasses. Yup.
