May or may not have dranken an entire case of beer.

May or may not have to stay home today due to my hangover.

[benjamin-liljegren]

Shay.

Miss who?

[benjamin-liljegren]

I miss her.

She's out there in the world and I just want her here.

[benjamin-liljegren]

I want one!

My paint ball gun arrived. I’m taking it to the field when the sun rises to test this bad boy out. I’m such a child.

[benjamin-liljegren]

I once drank 5.75 redbulls in one day. I almost finished the 6th but.. I had enough energy at that point.

Oopsies.

Turns out that I had a little too much caffeine today. Guess my coffee and then three red bulls wasn’t the best idea.

[benjamin-liljegren]

Please be safe.

I’ll be back— 

I know that.

[benjamin-liljegren]

Goodbye, Shay. If you.. ever come back, I'll be here.

I didn’t want to hurt you— I just didn’t want to get up and leave in the middle of something. Perhaps it was silly of me committing to something. But I don’t regret it, Benjamin. For the little moments we had, was the best moments I’ve had and I shall cherish them. I was scared of hurting you— I know I still hurt you. I hurt myself for letting you go— 

[benjamin-liljegren]

I understand.. You want to see the world. I just wish we could've.. Nevermind. I.. I don't know what to say.

Benjamin..

[benjamin-liljegren]

Goodbye, Shay.

Goodbyes are always the hardest.

Benny and The Abe || Benjamin & Abe

After the break-up with Shay, Benjamin felt lonelier than ever. He felt that what he needed was a boys night out, and who better to do that with than Abe? They decided to meet up at a restaurant/bar downtown LA, and though Abe was under 21, his fake ID worked just fine - money is money. They ordered some food and beer, and began to talk. About Fraye, about work, about the break-up, and about upcoming videogames that Benjamin was working on. After a few beers, they ordered a round of shots. Slowly, they were getting drunk, and when you put two European men together with alcohol, things get loud.

"So, what are you doing in Los Angeles? I've been to Ireland, it's beautiful", said Benjamin, "Though, Sweden is also beautiful, but I came here anyways." Abe sighed. "Well, my friend, it's complicated. I came to find my father, and I did, but we don't talk as much as I hoped.." Abe trailed off. "Ah", said Benjamin, "Do you ever miss it back home? I do." "People are so much ruder in America. I wasn't expecting that. So yeah, I miss it sometimes. Especially when people cut me off in traffic." They both laughed, and continued talking about things they missed, and things they didn't like about LA.

Benjamin had thought drinking would take his mind off of Shay, but it only made things worse. "You know what?", said Abe. "What?", asked Benjamin. "You need to flirt with a new girl. Prove to yourself that you don't need Shay. Like... That girl over there", he said, pointing to a brunette sitting by the bar. "Are you sure?", asked Benjamin, sighing. "Of course!", replied Abe. "Go. Ask to buy her a drink. Get her number!" Benjamin stood up, and nervously walked over to the girl. "Hello!", said Benjamin to the girl. "I have a boyfriend", replied the girl, with a voice that sounded like she was auditioning for Jersey Shore. Benjamin nodded and walked back to the table Abe was at. "So?", asked Abe. "Another thing I miss about Sweden... the girls." Benjamin said, laughing.

[benjamin-liljegren]

I'm a business man... Sort of. I design videogames, but sometimes we have meetings or publicity things... and sweatpants are apparently not acceptable for those. I have learnt.

I'm quite silly myself.

Benjamin & Aubrie

[benjamin-liljegren]

That's pretty convincing!

So, after classes, and lectures, and note taking one of my friends from uni asked me how I felt after all of the information given to me. I told her… it made me feel like I’ve lost all sense… I think I made it look convincing.

[benjamin-liljegren]

The camera.

#What'cha lookin' at?

[benjamin-liljegren]

Orange is The New Black and Supernatural! Both amazing shows.

I've spent all day in bed watching Netflix.

[benjamin-liljegren]

That's actually what I watched! It's... it's something, alright. It's amazing but emotional. I'd recommend it.

[benjamin-liljegren]

I'm Benjamin Liljegren, and there's nothing clever with my name. Nice to meet you.

Good news and bad news.

[benjamin-liljegren]

Thank you, miss!
