A Story of Life & Love and Possibly Other Things
Timeline
Bought a House
An Upgrade
Over the weekend I finally got around to installing the new hard drives that arrived during the previous week. I’d run out of space for TV-shows on my media server, the 2TB drive was no longer enough. Now there are two 4TB drives in there, but one is being used to keep a backup of the other drive.
30th Birthday
Started working at Robotservice AB
New server online!
I finally broke the old server a couple of days ago which has forced me to finish setting up the new server. This is new hardware, most notably a hard drive upgrade from a measly 120 GB to 2 TB.

I started GM’ing a Dungeons & Dragons group set in my own world using custom races.
Breakup #1
As of this day I’m no longer together with Zandra.
Returned from Europe-trip
We returned from the Europe trip slightly earlier than planned. It was pretty great overall with a couple of hiccups along the way.
3 Week Europe Trip
Going on a trip with a bunch of friends and Zandra!
It’ll (probably) be fun!
Omelet
I made an omelet for the first time! It turned out better than it seemed initially.
It contained bacon, red peppers and onion. And eggs obviously.
Moved to Apartment in Skara
I moved away from my parents home and into my own apartment.
Started working at Entos
My first proper full-time job.
A Second Chance
As we were sitting on the sofa watching a movie with her brother as usual I noticed she was leaning slightly towards me, unsure I put my arm up on the backrest, and she leaned against me. I couldn’t believe it. It’d been so long, but, had she changed her mind? Turns out that yes, she had.
A few weeks passed, we snuggled lightly in the couch as usual, until it became very late, her brother went outside to smoke. I finally gathered enough courage and kissed her. I asked “Are we together now?” and she said something along the lines of “Yeah I think so.”
I thought I’d have to ask more formally, but she said I’d already asked, which didn’t really occur to me when I did it.
Started Working at InfoCare
Via StudentConsulting. The job was supporting a set of schools that had gotten a set of laptop and tablets through a program.
It was a part-time job that involved a bunch of sitting around and a bunch of driving.

Rejected
The rejection was unexpected for me. I received a text. I was sad but accepted it. I didn’t reply which I kind of regret.
A while passed before I started coming over to watch movies and play games again. But things eventually returned to normal.
The Second Date
This time we went to Italia, which is an Italian themed restaurant which is right next to Bullseye, and has the same owner.
The First Date
On the first date we went to Bullseye. An “American style” hamburger restaurant in Lidköping. I’d been once before with my family.
Started dating
I came over regularly to watch movies and play games, then one night I did something I wouldn’t have expected myself. She put her hand down on the sofa next to her, underneath the blanket she was under, and I took a chance of the century and reached under and put my hand on top of hers.
Later when I asked she said she put her hand down because she was curious if I’d take it. And I’m glad I did.

A Chance Encounter
