Good times, good times!
Simon and I celebrated our 2-year anniversary today - so we had lunch (burger and fries and milkshake, ultimate american meal) at Hard Rock Cafe. Oslo didn't get a HRC until a month ago, you know, so I thought that was cool. We had one of those long funny conversations I appreciate so much. And the burger was good too.
We decided we wouldn't get each other presents, but instead buy something nice together. A together-gift. Suits me just fine. :D I like having things together with him. We talked about marriage. His attitude towards it surprised me, in a good way. Not that we're getting married in the immediate future, but I'm young and in love so I can daydream about being together forever, can't I? ^^
Then I had my salsa-lesson. My fourth! I still can't dance salsa, though. :P But it's fun. I was paired up with another girl today, she had gorgeous eyes and an even more horrible lack of rythm than me. We must've looked awful, but we actually did learn something together.
Today I tried dry-point needle for the first time. First you draw an image, and then you carve the image into a metal plate with a needle. The plate is then covered in ink, which is wiped off with a cloth (but all the carved lines are filled with ink). Then you put a piece of wet paper over the plate and roll it through a very eighteenth century-looking thingie and voila, the image has been transferred to paper. Looks neat, but the process is definitely much more tedious than just using a pen and a sheet of paper. Obviously. But it was really fun to try out!
