Had one HELLUVA dream last night. I dreamt my parents bought me for my birthday (rather oddly since my birthday was 3 months ago ) - an all-expenses paid trip to Sweden and ticket to the Swedish premiere of Manana. Including a pass to the 'backstage' cast and crew party, where I met Alex. Didn't spend too much time with her, but we chatted a bit and exchanged smiles throughout the evening and she was very nice and friendly and lovely. Came back saying "That was one of the best experiences in my entire life."
Then I woke up.
F**k.

I think the poem reference would have worked better in a sequel, like Elin telling Agnes that's when she first started to think of her as a real person rather than just an excuse to not go to the other party. The bridge would be too early in their relationship for them to explore any talk of feelings about one another. I think even after they kissed there's a lot of uncertainty about what it meant, obviously Agnes wants it to mean one thing it takes Elin a lot longer to accept that's what she wants too.

And as for the dream, only one word can sum it up. "Bastard". (In a caring and sharing way of course.)(Is this the emoticon for envy? )
