I’m hungover. Or, actually, not as much hungover as experiencing ‘dagen derpå’. ‘Dagen derpå’ is not as bad as having a physical hangover. Which may include symptoms like nausea, headache, shaking / trembling, second guessing who you are and the path you’re headed in life, trauma to the mind and a general sensation of fear and anxiety towards the world and everyone in it.. ‘Dagen derpå’ is more of a general term we vikings use for the day after drinking and doesn’t necessarily include running to the bathroom to throw up. We have another term for that. Fyllesyk. ‘Dagen derpå’ means more just, you know, worn out. Often just used as an excuse for looking like shit. Like how your dry and sore lips you’re now left with looks after last nights frantic, and unnecessarily frequent lipstick application. 
I don’t know about you, but I always turn a little bit manic when I’m wearing lipstick. Matte in particular. Paranoid even. That’s a real sport and the women doing it daily should get more credit than they are. So many dangers to it..
Went for dinner to celebrate my sis-in-laws birthday with her and her man. Best thing in the world maybe, couples dates.
Anyways, here I sit, dagen derpå, eating oatmeal contemplating which work task in front of me acquire the least amount of energy and brain activity. Temporary conclusion being I can allow myself an episode or two of Paradise Hotel first. It’s still on in Norway, yes, and is possibly ranking highest as the trashiest of trashy in one of my favorite genres in the entertainment industry today: Reality <3
Poor judgement calls, lack of insight, backstabbing, selective amnesia and people trying to convince themselves they’re not going to have intercourse on national television and then having it. Fighting for not that much money and talking tactics that don’t really matter all that much because the people behind the show are genius and like to do whatever the fuck they want in the game. Feeling like kings and queens should the game allow things to go their way for a second, throwing tantrums when they don’t. It’s beautiful. And a study of human nature in its self.
Yes. I’ll do that.
How it’s called the feeling of “dagen derpå” like for … your whole life? I probably have that.
Alcoholism
LOL i laughed really really hard.
But I meant without the drinking part. 😁
hahaha I know
As we say in the UK, “budge up Viktoria” , make room on your sofa for all of us (your readers).
If I had run in your marathon I would need more than a week on the sofa!
<3
Sofa was my best friend today <3
Viktoria. You are a true martyr to your artistic works, it shows real dedication seeking inspiration like that on a Thursday (Vikings even get in there…Thor’,s Day)!
I have not looked it up but I wonder if ‘budge Up’ is a reference to the way budgerigars sit together on a perch in a cage?
