At around 12:40... I decide to walk to a small pond not far from my place and rest in the grass. Before I get there I make a phonecall to a friend (Sven) and ask him if he can buy me a pizza later (I am really hungry at this point, and not in the mood for apples [or raisins/sunflower seeds]). He agrees to do it, though it will take a couple of hours before he's done at school. When I reach the pond-place I stay there for almost an hour, just lying in the grass trying to relax and get some sleep. (note on attached pic : the railway, as seen in the previous pic continiues [perhaps 20 meters] behind the trees in this pic) |

After about an hour, I am visited by a couple of wild ducks. [see attached picture] Are these the same ducks that appeared in the tibbarvideo that I shoot last autumn? I have no idea, but they look very much like them. I take a picture of the cute couple before moving away. They tell me they've got some eggs coming up and they wish me good luck in finding true love. |

I walk back to the area where I strolled at around 11:30, but another part of it. I Take pics of some nature I find, on the way to and inside of that forest... |

But everything isn't all natural and living, I also discover junk during my stroll: |

At around 14:30 Sven gives me a call, telling me he's done (with whatever he was up to at school earlier). And I hurry back to the place where we decide to meet. (outside our appartmentcomplexes; we're neighbours). [see attached picture] (note: The photo was taken yesterday, just before I went to ICA and thereafter started my mission. Though this is where me and Sven meet up). |

At around 14:50... I finally get my pizza! Yay! Sven also lends me money for the pizza since I've got no cash on me and can't get into my appartment without 'breaking the rules'. [see attached pic] (Sven standing outside "Kryddan" [english: "the spice"] a restaurant not far from home, where Sven buys a pizza for me.) What is pretty funny is that the people that help me on this mission sortof agree with what I do and that I can't enter any place without breaking the rules. They know I can't enter places, so they help me out. But the way they do it, is sortof naturally. And I am starting to agree on it myself, and I feel banned from being indoor. A weird feeling. I thank Sven for helping me out, but ask him for one last favor before we split up : I need a fork and a knife. He agress to supply the requested things and We walk back to his place where he, from the balcony, throws down the fork and the knife (luckily, not simultaniously), which I (magically in a way) manages to catch. "Great stuff!" I think. |

Then I walk back to where I was at around 05:30, where I felt my skin being dry on my head. I really regret not preparing the mission more (e.g. eating the big salad I was planning on eating [but didn't cause I was lazy] before going out) but at the moment all I can think of is : foooooooooooo0o0o0od!...

The pizza looks good, and tastes good: It's a pizza with olives, and mushrooms (no meat); with a double bottom: |

When I am almost done with the pizza... strange but recognizeable feelings appears in my stommach. Damn I need to take a shit. And I feel this is the moment when the whole mission goes down the drain and finally ends. I am atleast twice as far away from a natural toilet (a forest or something where I can take a shit undisturbed) as from my place - and I need to go real soon. Being tired of everything, feeling like I have a fever, being tired again, feeling like a sack of dirty laundry, I decide to walk home and abort the mission. At around 15:30-something... When I get back home to my dorm... [see attached pic] (note: pic taken yesterday, before starting mission. Frank was not present when I got home) the first thing I do is to fly into the bathroom in my room and use the toilet. - Nothing else matters. I just need to get these brown demons out of my body, the hard way. When I am done I notice I've been quite sunburned (my face is all red) and that my lips have turned extremely red; they have never been this red before, and I think it's because I've been out in the sun, and been cold for so long (atleast 10 hours). After I check my e-mail for loveletters (none recieved) I finally hit the bed, and fall into a lovely sleep. |

[feelings:] 18 hours, it's a new record, but the mission failed; in being completed and the amount I enjoyed it. But I spent 18 hours under the sky, for the first time. I just walked around, or sat, just like an animal (just 'being', outdoors), and the feeling was quite unique. Also the feeling of not having a place to go home to, and the feeling of not being allowed to enter any place was special. If I ever do this again, I will do it more prepared and in a warmer weather... ----------------- I would personally like to thank the following persons for helping out or in one way or another participating in the project: CHRISTOPHER J > DIGITAL CAMERA > DIGITAL CAMERA CHARGER > MOBILE PHONE CHARGER > COMMUNICATION FRANK H > GLOVES SVEN L > FOOD SERVICE MOM, JIMMY, MATTIAS > COMMUNICATION MATTHEW, BRYAN > PARTICIPATING EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN SUPPORTIVE > SUPPORT ----------------- (note: attached is the official 24 hour outside mission-failed symbol by Matthew Whitley) |
