Birthday, lazing about

The insane winter in Stockholm goes on... We didn't get snow until January, and some people were freaking out over global warming, but now we have all the cold nasty slippery snow we could ask for. I'm doing absolutely nothing this weekend which is kind of a nice relief. Last week I had a birthday party which for unknown reasons unleashed my inner Martha Stewart and lead me to force some of my long suffering friends to join me in cooking lots and lots and lots of clever finger food that took about 4 hours to make and 30 minutes to eat. Oh well, at least it tasted good.

I can't believe I'm 27 now, it's such a grownup age... farewell "around 25" hello "almost 30". Anyway, it was nice to see my friends - for the first time in ages. It's so stupid how we all live in the same city but almost never hang out. Everyone seems to be so busy with school and work... I feel like I have at least two or three full time jobs right now. With school, the blogs (ok, so I write a lot less in this one than the other), the music stuff plus all the other time consuming projects I'm working on, it's getting a little crazy.

I read this article in the newspaper the other day about how Swedes my age don't worry much about their careers, and they don't feel like pouring their heart and soul into some job, because what really matters to them is hanging out with their friends and besides they know their gonna get some awesome job anyway so why worry, right? And I kept thinking "Who are these people?" Apparently they exist, because they keep showing up in polls, I've just never seen one in real life.

So. This weekend I'm going to do nothing except hang around the house, watch movies and possibly, if I can muster up the energy, go down to the store and stock up on junk food. Who knows, by sunday afternoon I may have turned into one of the "why should I care about a carreer"-people. Not likely though.
