Finally an update

2009-02-12T13:04:00.006+01:00

Ok, so it has been ages since the last time I wrote anything here. I don't really have any excuses. Not much has happened though.. I have managed to contact some of the people I used to hang with, so my social life has improved a bit. I had a little photoshoot with my older sister, and here are some of the photos:

Back to normal

2009-01-07T15:26:00.002+01:00

Happy New Year, guys! I'm sorry for not posting anything in a while, but I haven't really had anything to say. Now that the world is back to "normal", and my rutines are back, it's time to start doing things again. One of them being writing in my blog.

I've decided to make 2009 a busy year. I'm not going to watch as much tv, or sit as much in front of the computer, but I'll read books, study for my exams, go for walks, visit friends, make art, take pictures, help people with stuff they need help to do, and so on. I'll definitely not be bored! I have to clean my room now..

My painting

2008-12-27T23:46:00.005+01:00

I made a painting yesterday. The very first painting I've ever been happy about! It's a gift for my boyfriend (who is a helicopter pilot, which explains why I painted a helicopter..) along with another gift which I bought today. I'm really late, I know, but since we didn't celebrate Christmas together, and are celebrating New Year's together were exchanging gifts then. Here's the painting (and my very messy room):

This Charming Girl

2008-12-25T18:03:00.003+01:00

For Christmas I got a lovely necklace from http://www.thischarminggirl.com/.

I love the necklaces from that site, and it's not that expensive! Most of the stuff is about 7-12 pounds, and the delivery is also not expensive at all. I'm actually thinking about buying one or two more necklaces. I really love jewellery..

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-24T12:24:00.008+01:00

Merry Christmas! The day is finally here, and I'm having a great time! Right now I'm watching the three movies I watch every Christmas; Three nuts for Cinderella (Czech: Tri orísky pro Popelku), The journey to the Christmas star (Norwegian: Reisen til julestjernen), and the Disney show. It's on every Christmas at the same channel, and the same time.

Here's some photos of my room:

And the livingroom:

And here's the wonderful fairytale of New York!

I really want these sleep wear thingies from Victoria's Secrets. They're so beautiful. Like art, almost..

My new addiction:

Christmas and Fairytales

2008-12-20T21:35:00.004+01:00

Four days ago I was a wreck. I felt terrible, and I just wanted to escape under ground, or something. Luckily I'm strong enough to survive those bad days, and just by writing about them I feel much better. I've had my last day at school this year, so now I can focus on Christmas and enjoying myself. The Christmas feeling I had has disappeared, so I'm going to try to get it back. I have one gift left, and it's for my boyfriend. I have never given a gift to a boy before, and I really have no clue, but I'll just have to try, I guess.. I'm going to visit him and his family on New Year's, so I'll bring the gift there.

I'm watching Big Fish right now, and I really love that movie. So magical! I love fairytales.. And I love Steve Buscemi! I think he's one of the greatest actors ever. After I've seen Big Fish I'm going to put on Phantom of the Opera on the dvd, and clean my room. It honestly looks like a bachelor pad, or something. I'm a 18 year old girl, so I should have a clean room, right?

I love this video:

Who Am I?

2008-12-16T15:59:00.002+01:00

I'm the girl who's there for all the breakdowns.

I'm the girl who gets yelled at on my own and everyone else's behalf.

I'm the girl they unload everything on.

I'm the girl who gets blamed for everything.

I'm the girl who gets pushed further and further down each day.

I'm just so tired of being the person everyone dumps their shit on! I really don't know how much more I can take. My mom just had another breakdown, and she started crying. She yelled at me, for not doing enough in the house, she yelled at me because my sister don't do enough in the house, and she yelled at me because my sister never cleans up any of the mess she creates in the kitchen and living room. She yelled at me because my sisters hardly visits our grandmother, she yelled at me for the washingmachine being broken for the last week, she yelled at me for not being a mindreader who knows what she want's each second of the day, and she yelled at me because she has to ask everyone to do things for her. I know she can't do everything alone because of her heart, but why does she think I can do everything? Why does everyone think I can do everything? Everything that is work and boring.

On the other side you have the mother who told her daughter that she couldn't start playing an instrument at the age 13. I was too old, she said. She has compared me to the drug addicts in our family, she has made it clear that she doesn't think I'll grow up to be anything, and still she expect me to have superpowers. I'm just so sick of everything!

I have the house, everyones feelings, school, exams, gifts, keeping contact with everyone, doing things for everyone, helping, finding a job, money problems, keeping healthy, not getting depressed and so much more to think about. I'm so tired. And sad.

I want to leave. I want to go somewhere nobody knows me. Start over again. I can't do this anymore! No matter how hard I try it's never good enough. I'm never good enough! I don't visit people enough, I don't work hard enough at school, I don't work hard enough at home, and I don't even have a job.

I think I'm going crazy. That would be a relief actually, because then nobody would rely on me to do everything. Anything. I could just walk around in the room with the soft walls and not worry about a thing. Everyone would walk on eggshells around me for a change.

I'm just so tired of crying alone in my room. I'm tired of being looked upon as lazy when the only thing I think about is how to make the world better for people.

I'm just tired.

The Prom

I was at a Christmas prom yesterday. It wasn't really the best thing I've gone to, but it was good seeing my old classmates, meeting new people and just being out. And it was really fun getting dressed up, doing my hair and make-up, and trying on my new shoes. They didn't even hurt my feet! They've never been used before, I've never (well, almost never) worn heels, and I didn't even practice using them before I went out! I was really lucky. I saw that many of the girls walked around without their shoes on, and a lot of shoes was lying around without their owner. I would never leave my shoes alone in a room full of drunk teenagers. I'm not surprised if some of them went home shoeless..

The Presents

I'm not even nearly finished with the gifts. I don't know what people like, and want, so I don't know what to get them. I always say it, but this time I really mean it; Next year I'm starting early with the Christmas shopping! Like january-sale-early. I don't want to be as stessed next year as I am this year. I almost feel like I'm missing out on all the fun Christmas stuff..

The Plan

The plan for today is:

-Cleaning my room

-Decorate a little more

-Go shopping for gifts

-Write letters, draw, and do other hobby-things

-Find pictures for a photoalbum

Thoughts about the future

2008-12-09T20:27:00.004+01:00

It's freezing today. I barely managed to walk to school today, because most of the ground were covered with ice. I'll have to start my day earlier tomorrow.. And I'm going to the gym for the very first time! I'm actually going to work out! With people! I'm scared and looking forward to it at the same time.

I've been thinking of next year, and what I would like to use it for. If I pass my exams, and get a job, I would like to move somewhere, live on my own, and go to a new school. I want to be on my own. Does it sound selfish to say that I'd like to have only myself to think about? I don't want to move too far though, because I would miss my family too much. I would like to be able to take the train home whenever I want. I love taking the train.. I just have to find out where they have the classes I'm taking.

I've also thought about my new year resolutions:

-Pass my exams!

-Work out.

-Get a job.

-Get good grades.

-Be social.

-Think positive.

-Eat healthy.

-Be open for new things.

Do you have any resolutions?

What's your plan for next year?

Where do you work?

2008-12-08T21:21:00.007+01:00

I want a job. No, I need a job. I really, really, really need a job. Not only have I been broke for the last five months, but I also owe my little sister a lot of money. Well, it's only about 145 dollars, but for me that's a lot. Right now the only way for me to get money is to beg one of my parents to borrow some, and that's pathetic. I'm 18 years old for goodness sake!

I think I'm going to apply for almost every job I can find (I'm desperate, ok?), but I also want to think smart when I'm applying.

-Benefits. (If I work in a clothes store I'll get discounts, if I work in the kiosk on the mountain Fløien I'll get free exercise every day, etc.)

-Experience. (If I get a job where I can use my english, I can write that on my CV, etc.)

-Joyfulness. (If the work is fun, I'll be happy.)

-Time. (I need a job where they need me to work a lot. If I get few shifts I'll have to find two jobs, and I don't really want that.. )

-Interest. (I want a job that goes with my interests. That's not hard to find, because I'm interested in a lot.)

Now I'm going to search around on the internet, and see if I find anything interesting..

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas

2008-12-07T12:09:00.010+01:00

I love the trailer for this movie! I'm definitely going to see it.

Me, myself & I.

2008-12-05T13:22:00.011+01:00

I just wanted to post two pictures my wonderful sister shot of me the last time I visited her:

Today I'm going shopping with one of my friends. Well, actually she's shopping, I'm just walking through the shops with her. We're going to a christmas prom (juleball, in norwegian), and she needs a dress. I have to stop by my sister with a dress first, so I actually have to start getting ready now..

It's Britney, bitch!

2008-12-04T20:20:00.004+01:00

I'm watching Britney, for the record right now, and I must say that I really love that girl! The music is ok, I guess, but Britney is such a wonderful girl. The way she talks, work and live through everything she has to live though.. It's a puzzle to me.. I could never live her life.

I remember when I was eight or nine years old, and how everyone loved hit me baby one more time. How all the kids made up dances to the song, collected posters, and talked about her at school. She was, and still is such an icon. Maybe not the best rolemodel, but she the way I see it she's just a girl. Everyone make mistakes, she's just forced to make them in front of the whole world..

Mercredi

2008-12-03T13:12:00.005+01:00

So today I've had french for a couple of hours, but then my teacher got sick and went home, and now I'm sitting here all alone. I'm actually just waiting for the clock to turn 14.10, because then I'm going to the gym with some of the people who teach/learn here. I've never been to the gym before, and I'm just checking it out today. They go every wednesday, and I'm thinking about joining them.. It's free and everything! But we'll see..

It's a nice and freezing day, and I think it's about -1 degrees outside. In Norway we count degrees in celsius.. I'm probably going to take some pictures after the gym. I feel really great, and I'm in a I-wanna-do-something-new/special-mood. I don't have those moods very often, so I'm really going to take advantage of it today. I'm going to draw, take pictures, go to the gym, clean my room, organize things that needs to be organized (christmas-stuff), etc.

I don't know how much blogging I can do from now on, because my laptop charger is broken. Well, it's almost broken. I think one of my dust bunnies must have chewed on it, or something.. It's annoying because I haven't had it that long. The earplugs to my iPod is also broken. The music comes out, but it cuts my ear everytime i put it in.. Also annoying. Luckily Christmas is just around the corner, so the problems will hopefully not last long.

Hope you have/had a great day!:)

Today my little sister and I has been at my older sisters appartment. We've been spending almost all day picking out photos for a photoalbum we're giving our grandparents for Christmas. It's going to be great! There's photos from our lake cabin from the 70's until today. I really think they're going to love it. We ate tacos and tortillas, and then we went to a little art gallery. My sister knows one of the artists. My little sister won four little pictures (she could choose the ones she wanted), and she gave one to me, and one to my older sister.

This is the one i picked out:

Listen to 'Believe' by Josh Groban.

Do you still feel the magic of Christmas?

2008-11-29T12:12:00.006+01:00

So I've ended the poll a day early because I really want to know if you still get that wonderful feeling of magic when it's Christmas. It seems like you want me to post photographs and some personal stuff, and that's good, because that's the two things I'm best at. I don't know anything about fashion, or what celebrities did when, or the best ways to a thinner you, etc.

Yesterday, my littlesister and I had a game/movienight, she made us dinner, and we cleaned the whole appartment while listening to Christmas songs. It was so much fun! And today my boyfriend is coming to visit! I'm so happy I could fly! So the plans for today is eating a good breakfast + tea, finish cleaning my room, decorate for Christmas, take a long shower, make dinner, and be with my boyfriend.

Little Wonders

2008-11-28T20:31:00.004+01:00

I just LOVE this song, and the musicvideo. I also love the movie; Meet the Robinsons:)

Let it go,

Let it roll right off your shoulder

Don't you know

The hardest part is over

Let it in,

Let your clarity define you

In the end

We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made

In these small hours

These little wonders,

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away,

But these small hours,

These small hours still remain

Let it slide,

Let your troubles fall behind you

Let it shine

Until you feel it all around you

And i don't mind

If it's me you need to turn to

We'll get by,

It's the heart that really matters

in the end

Our lives are made

In these small hours

These little wonders,

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away,

But these small hours,

These small hours still remain

All of my regret

Will wash away some how

But i can not forget

The way i feel right now

In these small hours

These little wonders

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away

but these small hours

These small hours,

still remain,

Still remain

These little wonders

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away

But these small hours

These little wonders still remain

What's your darkest secret?

2008-11-26T23:33:00.007+01:00

I had yet another interesting conversation with people at lunch yesterday. None of the people I know where there, but everyone I've met there is so nice! We talked about the Christmas shows for kids, a zoo in Kristiansand (a city in Norway), mean jokes, and the news from the day before. I didn't say much because I was eating (again..), and I realized how much people like to talk about themselves. They can say so much about themselves without talking directly about their lives. You can get an understanding about their personality if you take the time to listen to what they are saying and how they say it. What they are passionate about, and how they raise or lower their voice when they talk about something. Reading people has sort of been my hobby for the last few weeks, because I've met a lot of different kinds of people on the school i go to. It's not really a school though, but I take math class and french class there. I've always been interested with how the human mind works, and I often feel like a hobby psychologist. I'm the person everyone opens up to, and somehow people feel like they can tell me their darkest secrets.. Don't ask me why, because I don't even know that myself.. It's fun for me though;) And I definitely think it's good for them. It's not healthy carrying around secrets..

I want to remind you about postsecret, that posts secrets every sunday.

Winter wonderland pt.2

2008-11-25T19:37:00.006+01:00

I've had a really good day today. I've bought a little chocolate calendar, learned how french kids talk (msn-talk and such), read a lot of nice emails, gone for a walk, had a half hour sleep, and had a nice talk with my mom. The only sad thing is that the smell of rain is hanging in the air, and I'm not ready for the snow to disappear yet. I love the cold, fresh air, and that the snow lights up even when it's dark, and I love to see the children and the birds play around in it. Don't get me wrong, I like the rain also, but not so much in the winter.

I talked to some interesting people during lunch today.. One guy could tell me the date of the birth to every celebrity I mentioned, and one guy told me about his travels in the 80's. I didn't really talk much myself, because I was busy eating and listening to the two guys talk, and believe me; guys can be just as talkative as girls! It was very interesting..

Winter Wonderland pt.1

2008-11-24T09:43:00.012+01:00

What's your #1 wish this Christmas?

Yesterday I took a 1 1/2 hour walk with my younger sister in the snow. I wanted to get some photos of it before it rains away. It's still here, so maybe I'll take some more today.. It's freezing cold, and taking pictures outside makes me lose the feeling in my hands, so I'm not sure if I'll bother. I love snow though! I love the view of it, the smell, the noise of it under my feet, and the feeling when the snowcrystals melts on my face.

Norwegians celebrate Christmas eve on the 24th of December, and that's a month away from today! I haven't began shopping for Christmas presents yet, and I'm not really done with my wishlist either. I've decided to only wish for the things I actually need, this year.

I also want to remind you of the highly addictive game Winterbells.

Once upon a time..

2008-11-18T21:47:00.006+01:00

I just wanted to share two beautiful pictures of my grandparents with you. Isn't it funny how vintage photos are so much more lovely than most of the one's that are taken today? Even if you convert it to black & white or sepia -the feeling just isn't the same..

These were taken on a trip to Oslo, the capital of Norway.

Les Animaux

6 months

2008-11-17T15:19:00.005+01:00

I'm celebrating today. I've bought Elle magazine (the Norwegian edition), Non-Stop chocolate, pepsi max, and I've got a piece of cake from yesterday, when I was at my grandparents house. I'm celebrating alone. It's 6 months since I met my boyfriend for the first time. It's 6 months since that wonderful, lovely, horrible, nervewrecking day. I just wish he was here with me today...

60's music

2008-11-16T02:20:00.004+01:00

It's 02.30 in the morning, and I've just watched Elvis Presley sing his heart out on TCM. It was a concert from the 70's, and it made me remember when I was a child, and a hardcore Elvis-fan. It all started with a 60's cd-commercial, with Elvis, Herman Hermits, Nancy Sinatra, Tom Jones, Petula Clark, Searchers, The Monkees, The Beach Boys, etc. I became a fan of the old songs from the 60's in a second, and the #1 song was "In the ghetto", by Elvis. I listened to it all day long, and it became my favourite song for a good while. Other songs that got stuck in my head was "Needles and pins" by Searchers, "Barbara Ann" by The Beach Boys, "The green green grass of home" by Tom Jones, and "Stop! in the name of love" by The Supremes. I had forgotten all about that music, until now. I think my iPod will get a lot more songs in it tomorrow..

Here's a song that ALWAYS put a smile on my face. It's unfrownable;)

Love pt. 2

2008-11-16T00:06:00.006+01:00

I miss you so much that it hurts.

I miss you so much that want to scream.

I miss you so much that I don't know what to do with myself.

I know that you won't read this, because I'm not ready to share my inner thoughts with you yet, but I need to get it off my chest before it explodes. I love you. I need you. I don't know what I would do without you. I'm an independent woman, but I would be lost without you. I wouldn't know how to live my life, and I wouldn't know how to be me.

I'm scared by my feelings towards you. They're so intense, and I've never experienced anything like it before. I've had crushes, but nothing compares to this. I don't know what to do with these feelings, other than to feel them. I would put my life at risk for you, if I had to..

It's funny because I've always thought that people who say "I love him/her" after being with him/her for just a few months were silly, and now I'm one of them. I'm one of the idiots who think that they'll be together with their boyfriend forever. And I really hope I will. I don't think I'll ever find a better guy..

"I'll never let go, Jack. I promise."

Books

2008-11-14T22:14:00.005+01:00

Do you like reading books? My sister sendt me a cool site where you can add books you've read, books you're going to read, and books you're currently reading. You can also join different groups, for example "the twilight movie and books fanclub", etc.

I'm at school right now, learning french.. I'm doing ok right now, but usually I'm horrible at it. And I were just wondering; Do you have any french blogs, movies, music (or something else) to recommend? I'll take anything;)

Love, dreams and insecurities.

2008-11-10T23:19:00.009+01:00

It's weird how my heart skips a beat everytime i get a textmessage from him. I get an intense feeling of happiness, and I get butterflies in my stomack. My head goes spinning and I get an automatic smile on my face.

I've been dreaming of him lately. And oppose to the dreams I've had before, I remember every one of them. It's really weird. It's usually two different kinds of dreams, but I don't think I want to share them with random blogreaders and the two friends who read my blog. It's a little too private to share, I think.

Anyway.. I've been really girly the last month. Insecure. My boyfriend has been sort of short in the texts he sends me, and they have been further apart than before, and even though he makes sure to write that he loves me, I thought that maybe he didn't. It turned out that he had his exams (11!!), and I think he was a little freaked out over it. He hasn't said anything about it though, and I didn't tell him how I felt, and now I'm SO glad I didn't! I feel so stupid, and horrible that I could even think that. He passed 9 of them by the way, and I couldn't be more proud of him..

If you don't like to read about happy couple stuff, you should stop reading here;)

I just have to say that I think I am the luckiest girl in the universe! Not only is my boyfriend the kindest, most beautiful (or should I say handsome?:P) and smartest guy in the world, but he is also funny, sensitive, manly, generous, and mature. He is pretty shy but he still knows how to talk to people, he is able to listen to the things I say without asking the wrong questions, and he is funny without even trying. And the best thing of all; he loves me.

For you who wonders why I write about textmessages; We're in a long distance relationship. It's hard sometimes, but it works for us. At least for now..

Oh, and none of us likes to be in front of the camera:P

Wishes

2008-11-09T21:02:00.003+01:00

My list of things I know I won't get for Christmas (but I wish for it anyway):

A puppy (My sisters are allergic, and we're not allowed to have dogs where I live)
A vacation with my boyfriend (We've only been together for about 4 months)
To move in with my boyfriend (See point 2, + We are only 18 and 19 years old)
A spa-weekend with my mom and two sisters (There's so much else we need..)
A job (I really, really need a job!)

Toast

2008-11-08T14:20:00.006+01:00

Today I want to show you something really special. I think it's one of the best things ever! The name is Toast, which is two catalogues (Daywear and House & Home) with beautiful pictures of clothes, footwear, accessories, soaps, towels, bedlinen, blankets, aprons, jam, etc. And the great thing is that the catalogues are free! They come out two times a year, in the spring and autumn, and the feeling when you open your mailbox and see the catalogues lying there is just fantastic. Another really great thing about Toast is that they only use skins (and leather, and such) from animals that are raised for meat, they don't test on animals, they recycle everything they can, they are beginning to use organic cotton and will use that as much as they can, etc. You an read more about that here.

Just look at these photos. Wonderful, right?

A Little Fable

"Alas," said the mouse, "the whole world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into."

"You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.

I practice what I preach, so I've used this day to be kind. My grandmother had to go to the doctor today, and because she's very weak and fragile she has to use a wheelchair, and someone has to be with her when she goes out. So I used this day to be with her, followed her to the doctor, shop, cook, clean a little bit, and wash the dishes for her. I feel great, and I feel like I've done so much today! My grandfather and I also helped my mom driving away stuff we no longer need, so our house is much more clean, and organized now.

Right now I'm watching Oprah, and this time it's about families that are spending too much money on things they don't need, too much time on tv and computers, too much electrisity, and throwing away left-overs instead of eating it. It's pretty interesting actually, because I'm so addicted to my laptop and tv, and I use waaay too much time on it. So I've decided to check out the tv-progam for the next week, write down the shows/programs I want to see, and watch only the ones I've written down. The rest of the time my tv is going to be off. I'll try not to spend a lot of time on my computer either, but that'll be really hard. We'll see how it goes.. My heater is turned off, and I'm going to stop buying food and drinks (like bottled water) when I'm out. An occasional visit to a café with my friends or something is ok if I don't go there often. I often shower for about 20 minutes, and I'm going to try to halve it, so I'll shower for about 10 minutes. I' m really going to try to do this. Not only do I get more time to do things, but I'll also have more control over what I eat. I've already given away all the clothes I'm not wearing, so I've got more space in my closet. I'm doing this for myself and for the planet. I understand that one person can't save the entire planet, but it can't hurt, right? Think about it.

I challenge you to find something you can do for our planet.

The quote in the title is by Goethe.

Have you been kind to anyone lately? Given them a smile, or a helping hand?

Have you been listening to the words they say, without judging them or criticizing them?

Maybe you even love them?

I think this is the day to show them how much you care about them.

I think this is the day to show them that you care.

I think this is the day to be kind.

Don't you?

This is one of my favourite videos on youtube:

I'm really a cat you see, and it's not my last life at all.

I just got back from the doctor.. Well, I'm not going to die anytime soon (knock on wood), but he told me to drink more water, and always have a bottle of water with me. My bloodpressure was pretty low, and that's probably the reason why I'm dizzy all the time. I also have to drink a lot of water before my period, so that I won't faint, and I have to quit drinking soda. Now that's a challenge! I'm absolutely addicted to Pepsi Max, and I just can't seem to stop drinking it.. I'll have to find something to replace it with.. Like green tea, or something.. I'm taking a blood test tomorrow before school, and then I'll get the answers about 12 to 14 days later.

I hope it will turn out ok..

Girlygirl

2008-11-02T21:41:00.006+01:00

I feel like such a girl today. First; I read a blog where a couple anounced their engagement, and I actually started sobbing. I just couldn't stop crying. It's probably because I miss my boyfriend so much. We're in a long distance relationship, and that is really hard sometimes. But it's worth it. Then; I ate my weight in ice-cream, while listening to girly songs such as this one. Now; I'm watching In her shoes, with a cup of green tea with honey, Marie Claire , and my laptop in front of me. Later; I'll have a quick spa-night, before I go to bed.

When do you feel like a girlygirl, or what do you do to feel girly?

Great Sunday

2008-11-02T17:23:00.007+01:00

This has been a great sunday! A lazy, but great sunday. I've read a lot of blogs, magazines, and now I've just eaten a lovely dinner (moose, actually..) with my mom, two sisters, and my oldest sister's boyfriend. I'm just waiting for dessert..

Postsecret

Postsecret is a website where every sunday they post secrets that has been sendt to them.

The secrets can be cute, scary, funny, embarrassing, etc. If you haven't visited the postsecret-page you can do so by clicking on the secret;)

Roadtrip in the summer of 2008.

It's no secret that I love taking pictures. I often look like a tourist, with my Nikon-camera around my neck, taking 100 pictures a minute. Lately I've been too lazy to even think about photographing. There's not really that much to take pictues of where I live, so that means I have to take the bus to wherever I want to go. It's sort of irritating, because the lazyness that's hanging over me always comes this time of year, so I never get any good pictures in the autumn/winter-months. I need someone to slap my face and telling me to pull it together. Enough complaining, right?

Well, since I don't have any good pictures of the last couple of months, I thought I could post a couple of pictures I took this summer. I was in Rosendal, which is a place in Norway, with my mom, her bestfriend, and my two sisters. It was a great one-day roadtrip, and I took A LOT of pictures. So did my sister. The car in these photos where one of the two really cool cars we photographed. We just walked past this one, but the other car we sort of stalked. Well, my mom and her friend did, and since we were in the car with them we really didn't have any choice but to co-stalk it. We ended up talking with the owner for a long time, and he was so nice! He rented out the car for weddings and that kind of stuff, and he had done so for many years. He also lived in the area where our lake-house is, and we talked about that for a while.

So that's the story about my trip to Rosendal.. Haha, this post where not supposed to be this long, but when I first start I'm not able to stop. Anyway, I hope you have a nice evening!

The cutest games in the world!

2008-11-01T14:31:00.008+01:00

I'm not a gambling-person. Not at all. I usually don't like playing cards, boardgames, quizzes, computer games, nintendo, gameboy, or anything else that involves competition. Well, sometimes it can be fun, but I usually don't like it at all. It's weird, because my family is very competitive.. Anyway, some years ago I stumbled upon this site, and I got hooked in less than a minute. It's unbelievely cute, and oh so fun! My three favourites are Winterbells, Bubble Bees, and Chicken Wings.

What to blog, what to blog..?

2008-11-01T12:03:00.006+01:00

Ok, so Iv'e thought a lot about how I want my blog to be. I've read other blogs, I've read tips about how you can get more readers, and I've been searching for the ultimate blog-recipe. I finally decided that I don't need to be the biggest blog known to man. I don't need a lot of readers to make me happy. I love writing in general, and I could just write for myself. I mean why not? Of course if I get readers that would be cool, but I don't expect anything. Not this early on, anyway. My blog isn't really ready for visitors yet, I think. I haven't made all the decisions I should've made, about design, gadgets, layout, or anything really. So now I just have to think about how my blog is going to look and what it's going to be about.

Where will the path lead?

Augustana - Boston

2008-10-31T23:34:00.005+01:00

I love this song so much! And I think it sort of fits with the changing of my blog. I couldn't get the original music video into my blog, because the embedding was disabled (don't really know the meaning of the word, besides the fact that you can't get the video on your blog), so I found the next best thing, which is one of the thousands of One Tree Hill-videos on youtube. You can find the lyrics under the video. Enjoy!

Augustana - Boston

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...
You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah, She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see youYou said...You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah, She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah, She said

I think I'll go to Boston... I think I'll start a new life,I think I'll start it over,
where no one knows my name,I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,
You don't know me, and you don't even care, oh yeah..

Boston... where no one knows my name...
Where no one knows my name...
Where no one knows my name...
Yeah Boston...Where no one knows my name.

New Beginning

2008-10-31T20:15:00.008+01:00

So.. Yes, this is my new blog. My secret blog where I can write anything I want, without my family and friends knowing about it. The blog where I can post my thoughts when I'm depressed, my dirty little secrets, and everything I don't want anyone I know to know. This is really exciting! I've also decided to write in english, just in case I get readers from other countries than Norway.

My last blog was on blogg.no, but I decided to give blogspot a try because of some problems with pictures and other stuff at blogg.no. I also got tired of the popularity-lists and advertisings. So now I'm beginning all over again, a fresh start. I will probably do a few changes over the next weeks, but at the moment the blog will look like this.

I also need some new blogs to follow, so if you want me to check out your blog, please leave a comment! And you can make me happy by taking my poll.

Happy Halloween!
