Läskiga Vägen
I've been stressed out this week. And since I've been told to really slow it down, I've tried my best to take it easy. It's hard, however, when there is so much to do before my VFU starts and we have a gig next week!
Oh yeah, I haven't mentioned it here, I've started playing bass-guitar! In a band called Misplaced, we've been rehearsing a lot the past week (and the week before) and next week we have a gig! I'm crazy nervous about it, but it's going to be so much fun. Check out the website and listen to some songs, we are really awesome. I'm happy I could join.
I haven't been working anything at ICA though, so it kind of adds up with all the other stuff I'm doing. I've been writing in my other blog a lot too, that's why I'm not writing here so much. And now I'm having an early dinner, then I'm meeting up the girls downtown, we're watching Alice in Wonderland tonight! Yey! Haha. Maybe party afterwards, we'll see. Have a nice weekend ! Also found this pic on my old phone, gah, I miss home, spring, and "läskiga vägen" which this is, not so scary in daytime though!
Well..
I guess I should write something interesting and smart here.
I don't really feel like it. I started writing in Swedish in my old blog again, just bullshit really. I don't know why, but I'll write here occasionally too of course. I need to use my English and yesterday one of our guest lecturers actually gave us the tip to "start a blog in English". Well, I thought, I already have mine. I don't even know why I like writing bullshit. Mostly I don't even care about what I write, it just feels good to get it out of my system. And the important stuff that you have in your head, they won't make it to the blog, so why bother writing here? I apparently can't live (I always exaggerate, sorry) without it, maybe I seriously should try and write a book or something. With my imagination it shouldn't be a problem. But it's not a walk in the park.
Anyway, I've been listening a LOT to The Smiths the last two weeks. When I say a lot I really mean it. And today I found a great live album with John Mayer. It's perfect home alone-candle-studying-chill music. And since I've been a fucking nerd for the past few weeks (not to mention a sick nerd not being able to do anything) I've been needing some chill music. Just a tip to you guys.
Okay. I'm going to bed. Sleep tight. (what does that actually mean haha?)
What's this about?
I'm going to bed soon. It's weird, how life freaks you out occasionally. Focus.
And a deep breath.
7:45 a.m
My body is really getting used to this getting up before eight. And I even decided that this saturday and sunday I would be allowed to sleep as long as I wanted, what happens, first I wake up at 6:40 a.m "I feel so awake, it must be like 10! ehh... okay, back to sleep". One hour later, here I am!
And today is one of my chill days, me like! Doing nothing today, studying, playing guitar and watching movies.. That's the plan! I loooooooove weekends. My cold must disappear soon though, it's driving me crazy. My head's like a balloon. I wouldn't mind eating breakfast on the place shown below. A trip me and my ex made to Thailand two years ago, a really awesome trip. I could use some sun right now, I feel as white as the snow around me ! :)
I incite murder for your entertainment
Sitting with my essay now, thought I'd take a break a couple of minutes! So, today it's friday, finally! I'm still not doing anything this weekend, and it feels really good. Just working a couple of hours tonight, and then my saturday and sunday will be really chill.
Played bass guitar with a band called Misplaced yesterday, a guy from my class who's the drummer and he asked me if I wanted to play some bass with them, and it was awesome! So much fun! I'll keep you updated. It's the first time I'm not playing guitar in a band, but hey, bass is not that bad after all, actually really great!
Anyhow, going back to my essay now. Can't wait until I'm finished! Have a nice weekend :)
Here comes your man
I feel a little bit better today! Still a little tired, but no fever, and my eyes are killing me (when you have lenses a cold is not that fun) so going next week to a check-up, it's about time. Today it's freezing in Umeå, so I'm not really looking forward going down to the university. Been up since 8, studying.. I feel good about myself today, yes I do!
And it was so funny, got a text at 7:30 a.m, and I thought "who the hell would text me this early, you shall die!" and then it says "pendeltåg mellan nynäshamn och västerhaninge är inställt" Haha! Fuck you sl, I hate you. Since I worked in Sthlm I had this service from sl.se, they sent me a text every time a train was late or cancelled. I still get them occasionally, and it always makes me feel good going back to sleep thinking I'm not taking that frikkin train.
Do you remember?
This day has been very long, and it has involved a lot of reality checks. Feels like my time isn't enough. Anyway, I'm just trying to hang in there and focus on all the stuff
we have to do in school now, which is a LOT. Feels like that is everything right now, just focus focus focus. What a life huh? It's just a lot with four modules at the same time. But it's just until our VFU. And then we'll have even more to do haha.
I'm really dying to get down to Stockholm for a weekend to see my family and friends. Run away from all the crazy up here. It used to be the other way around! Gonna try and stay in this weekend even, no alcohol! But I'll decide that after working on friday, maybe that's what I need. If my cold suddenly disappears that is. Or maybe boarding or something. Would be nice. Well, I'm off to finish a translation and then I'll probably go to bed. Would easily trade it for a TV and a PS3. Give meee.
Semlor
Semlor, ahh! Blev ju ingen fantastisk Müllers semla med rosa grädde i år, för dom är verkligen dom enda i sitt slag, utan det blev en ICA semla. Två faktiskt. En tills imorgon också! Haha. När man är sjuk så måste man få skämma bort sig. Nu ska jag sova och hoppas att snoret/febern/huvudvärken försvunnit lite tills imorgon. Och denna knarkiga röst jag fått. Inte okej. Universitetet imorgon hela dagen, ingen tid att vara borta på grund av sjukdom, så det är bara att bita ihop och smitta alla andra. Godnatt.
Razor
What does a girl do when she wakes up and feel like crap? Well, she takes a long shower, some Alvedon and puts on the Skin and Bones record. Ahhh. And she suddenly feels a little bit better.
Dinner
I'm not feeling that good, but at least I've been taking it easy today, well, a little. Trying to think of a thesis statement for an essay that we are turning in next week. It's so hard to find a good one!
Just had a great dinner with Anna, Sarah and Andreea. This is one of the best advantages when you live in a student corridor. I haven't been writing that much about my living situation, but like I said, I live in a corridor with eight other people. Anna and Andreea are two of these people (Sarah is a visitor). This semester is a bit different if you compare it to the previous one. But when I moved to Umeå I didn't know anyone here, and 19C seriously is the best thing that could've happened to me. Of course we've had parties and stuff, but that's not the best part about living in a corridor (believe it or not). The best thing is cooking, sitting in the kitchen, talking bullshit, watching TV, just chilling. Because when you live alone you don't really feel like going somewhere every night to meet friends or stuff like that, but here you don't have to go anywhere. There's (almost) always someone here to talk to. About nothing, about everything. Yesterday me and a new girl who moved in jammed for a few hours in between studying, me playing the guitar and her singing. It was brilliant. So I can really recommend living in a corridor. Because even the people who you don't like entertain you in different ways! :)
My head, nose and throat is killing me now, so I'm going to bed. At 9.39 p.m.
Well, at least I'm trying to get well, haha. Punx.
Sick
My body really hates me right now. But I'm going to bed, just hoping I'll feel better tomorrow. My throat is killing me and I'm getting a cold, dammit. Okay, I promise myself, that next week I will take it easy until I feel better! I hate being sick, especially when you're just "half sick", because then I'm always at full speed, and I really can't stand lying in bed all day. Sometimes it drives me crazy not having a TV and a ps in my room. Then I could lay in bed all day without feeling bad haha.
And from this week on I will have more to do at the university, which means I'm having more than 4 lectures/week, and I'm going mon-thur instead of monday, tuesday, thursday. Okay, boring, my point is I don't have time to be sick! And I want to go to IKSU! Haha.
Just talked to mum also, I miss my family so much. But 90% sure I'm going home in 2-3 weeks! Well, now I really have to go to bed. Didn't get that much sleep last night. Next week my only mission is to get well, wish me luck.
Valentine's Day, wohoo
Yesterday was really great! Started my day feeling like shit, (my body wants to get sick or something, but I'm not letting it, so it's messing with me, but seriously, my throat needs to get better, I want to go to IKSU haha!) so I was inside, lying in bed, watching series. Vampire Diaries actually, haha, embarrassing I know. And the funny thing is that it's not good. At all. It's okay, but not even close to being good. Haha.
And then sweet Sarah made me and Andreea dinner, before going to a pre-party in the hood (Ålidhem) and then we all went out to Rex, a club downtown. Also met Erika and Johanna there, so we danced until we died (or actually until it closed), and then we sat at home talking bullshit till 5 a.m. And of course I woke up at 9:30 a.m, been sleeping way too long! Haha. And while we were waiting for the bus home Andreea realizes that her wallet is gone. Haha. But everything worked out perfectly and she got it back !
Today I unfortunately have some studying to do, mostly reading so it's okay, and since it is Valentine's Day and everything me, Sarah and Andreea are going to spy on our local hottie, pizzaboy, and then sit at home with loads of crappy food enjoying being single! ;) Happy Valentine's Day, especially to all the hot guys out there haha!
It's where you wanna be
I love it. Love it love it love it love it !
Every day this week my alarm has been set to 07:50 a.m. And every day this week I've woken up around 07:45 a.m by myself, with the sun shining outside, and I've just been jumping out of bed feeling like the king of the world! Putting on my "upp&hoppa" playlist with the most awesome tunes.. Yes, life is good alright!
Brilliant !
"friends"
Just cleaned out some friends on facebook, it's crazy how many acquaintances a person can have on facebook, but to some you won't even say hello to on the street. So bye bye to some dear "friends". The funny thing is that I don't give a shit, and I know that they don't give a shit, haha.
Either way. Today's been good. And tomorrow will be better. I really am a positive person, too bad everyone else besides me think I'm emo. How did that happen?
Wäwäwäwä
Wäwäwäwäwä. I have to read this book, which is kind of okay, but I just want to have dinner but it's too early, haha, that's my problem so I'll just write some bullshit instead!
Btw, if your humor is totally retarded like mine and my brothers you really should watch Dance Flick, I'm forcing Andreea to see it with me again tonight, I know she will appreciate the simpleness! Called my old job today also, so I'll probably hang around in Nynäs/Sthlm a lot this summer, which feels really good actually. I miss home. I've realized it takes me about two months to want to go home again. So I think I'll take a weekend now in march.. It'll be nice. It's weird how you really want to be somewhere, and then when you're there you just want to be somewhere else, haha! Well, a weekend in Nynäs is exactly what I can handle right now, especially if I'm spending most of my summer down there. Gah, can't wait for lazy summer days, drinking beer, getting around with our boat (well, when we buy a new one since the bastards stole the other one and destroyed it in september), swimming etc.. Not that many months to go! Seriously, give me summer noooow ! Ringvägen, I miss you.
My throat is messing with me also. Think I've been too much of an IKSU freak the last few weeks, haha. The yoga, btw, was really nice! I think it takes a few times until you really get into it, because when she said "breath with love" I really couldn't concentrate. But maybe it will help me to chill out a little.
Okay little book, I will read you now and then some dinner and then linguistics. Hooray what a beautiful day!
Fuck Yoga ?
Gonna try yoga tonight, will be interesting! I'm just afraid I'll get bored after 10 minutes and leave, but I'm taking Erika with me, so yoga + some swimming + dance flick = tonight ! I've really studied a lot today, so I feel I deserve something relaxing, lets hope yoga is.. I find it stupid, maybe I'll change my mind haha. Otherwise I just felt some anxiety downtown today when a nine-year-old girl who stood ahead of me in line opened her wallet and had more money in cash then what I've got for the rest of the month, haha ! Okay, wasn't that bad, but her mommy really shouldn't let her kid run around with that much money.. Speaking of money they called me from work today and said they have 3 fridays/month for me, scheduled. Let's hope it fits with my schedule when I'm on my teaching practice! Just five weeks left.. Haha, well, a lot can happen in five weeks I guess, wink wink! Now some more Millencolin! Punx!
Sambulans
I really wish I could have captured a really weird thing that happened this morning. On my way to IKSU, by the bus-stop, a bus drives by and where the regular 7, 6 or 9 should have been it says SAMBULANS.
Sambulans my friends, sambulans !
You stand here with me
I'm dead. Dead being a non-gradable antonym in this case.
But actually I'm alive, couldn't be writing this otherwise, could I?
Had a really productive day, good literature seminar and a fun translation lecture, add a little spinning to that and some amazing dinner (made by me actually, it's a miracle!) and here I am! Now it's 7 p.m and I have to read some more linguistics. If it's one thing I am sure of it's me wanting this linguistic course to be over. Well, I have the exam week 11, so until then I'll just have to hold on.
Too tired to think. Boring book, here I come.
The problem of today...
... is that I have so much good music to choose from, that I cannot decide what I want to listen to. Woke up half past eight from the sun shining in through my window. Turned a little, and god damn, my body hurts so much from boarding yesterday! But it was awesome, the snow, the weather - everything! This whole week has actually been really good, just as I predicted. Working, studying, drinking, IKSU, yeah the usual. And I also got my VFU (teaching practice place), and I'm not going far at all actually, 30 km outside of Umeå, so it's like a 30 minute bus ride there and 30 minutes back. So for eight weeks that will be fine! Since I am more than used to travel to work/school. Well, that's all I had really. I don't have any predictions for next week yet, so surprise me!
Apparently it's really common seeing reindeers on the roads in Norrland, still, a first for me.
Snärta lite då Erika !
Erika kicked my ass today at Punch Out. I am so incredibly tired I don't know what to do with myself. Well, going to bed soon of course, but first I have to watch another linguistic movie online, that will definitely make me sleepy. Otherwise I got a letter today saying I failed my Realia course. I got pissed off, since I got a VG on my last exam and a G on my exam in october, so I call them up, and turns out it was all a big misunderstanding and I got a VG on the whole Realia course. Made me happy, that's for sure! In your face Realia!
Bought a bus card btw. Feels weird, but it's so nice to take the bus everywhere, to school, to IKSU, to Ålidhem, downtown. But hopefully it won't be that cold at the end of february when the card expires, so I can start biking again. And then only God knows where the hell I'll be in April and May. But it'll be interesting.
Well, guess I should watch the stupid movie and go to bed. Otherwise I think this week will be awesome if it goes as planned!
Note to self
Hahaha, I was laughing so much seeing my previous post this morning... Note to self - I will never use my computer when I'm drunk. (Remember last year playing WoW being totally brain dead. That was stupid) Otherwise, this weekend has been great actually! And interesting, very interesting indeed! And tomorrow it's monday again, but until then there will be pizza and chillin' @ 19C.
lovely
Karma = Frozen ass
Hahah. I am so tired right now I don't know what to do with myself. I'll go to sleep in five minutes, that's for sure! Just have to tell you a funny story about a little retard known as myself. After working for four hours (which felt like 10 hours, okay, not really but still) I walked to the bus. Now, as you from Umeå know, there is no bus between Ålidhem and Mariehem, which sucks, but yeah, that's the way it is. So I walked to the university to take the bus from there. I was waiting for it for like ten minutes, and then it came, so I got on the bus. I just sat down, tired as hell, and after a minute I heard the next station coming up. "ålidhems centrum". Wtf!? So I took the bus back where I just came from. I get out of the bus, and if I was normal I would just have went home to Erika, got some warm tea and chilled and slept there, but since I didn't have my school or IKSU stuff or food for tomorrow, and I was really stubborn, tired and pissed off I decided to walk home. 35 fucking minutes. Walking in a snowstorm. The first five minutes sucked, but my friends, after that I was so happy I walked. Crazy loud music in my ears, Foo Fighters, jumping/walking/running in all the snow, singing all lyrics in my head. It's not that often I have really golden moments with myself. But this was one. Reminded me of a few years ago back in Sthlm when I was on my way home from school and got stuck in a snowstorm on a bus for nine hours. And then a gang on the bus, total strangers, all different ages, walking out on the highway where loads of cars were stranded, and we walked all together to the nearest city. Talking bullshit, and just enjoying the chaos. And right now I'm drinking warm chocolate out of a cup with a naked guy on it. A great ending of a great day.
so beautiful so clear
Okay, it is beautiful, but not that clear. The snowstorm I mean. But I like it. I won't like it at much in two hours when I have to go to work. Yes, I got a job, finally! So I'm sitting here, just played guitar for a few hours so my fingers are burning (I said buuuurrrrning), cleaned, took a long shower and soon I'm heading off to work! And of course I studied before that, so today I just feel really good. Karma my friends! Life is fuckin' good ey!
don't think, just do
Started my day with a breakfast for champions, got a phone call if I wanted to work today (which I really wanted, but no cutting class for me no!) and took my bike to school. I realized I should make peace with my bike and not blame it for sucking. So it has been working pretty well actually! Of course there's the problem of actually cycling in the snow, but hey, works pretty good. I do enjoy walking though, believe it or not. Gives me time to listen to great music. And time to clear my head. But now I can take the bike too if I want to. Oh, the wonders of life.
I've really been missing summer today though. Bare legs, a t-shirt, a cold beer. Even though the snow is perfect, especially if the sun would come out once in a while.
I can't believe it has been a year already.
klassiker !
About A Burning Fire
I almost put the kitchen on fire again today (the last time I did it is another story). Haha. We were making popcorn, and all of a sudden the micro started sounding funny, so I turn around and what do I see? It's a fire inside the microwave! And now, my friends, NOW the hero (me in this case) runs to the micro! I turn it off with the speed of lightning and open it. With bravery most people only would dream of I take the burning popcorn bag, throw it on the floor and start stepping/jumping on it. And the fire stopped! Or did it?!? NO, I look at the microwave again, and it's burning on the side, and now (if we say that I am batman, now Robin steps in, except it's a girl called Andreea), and she uses her super power, blowing the fire out. Wow. It was amazing. And we survived. Five minutes later we made popcorn again, this time, no fire!
YEY!
I did it! I got a VG on my resit on American Realia!! I feel life slowly coming back to me. Haha, never thought I would be so happy for a test score! So tomorrow, PARTY! (would start drinking right now if it wasn't for important stuff I have to do tomorrow haha) And tonight cake at sweet Erika who turns 21 today! Happy birthday honey! I am so fucking happy right now!
Have It All
You're my size, I need to try you on
Todays 123
1.

3.
2. 3.1 - Today I sorted through last semester's papers, tried to get a little more organized, and I realized how much we actually did last fall! And this doesn't include the course books of course. But I guess you really can go through a LOT in a few months. I'm really excited about this term actually, and the courses we're having. Not to mention the two months on teaching practice.
2 - This is what I'm doing right now, to be a little more clear, playing with backing tracks ! So much fun, but now my wrist is a little fucked up, so gonna go to bed soon so it'll get better! Can't wait until I get my amp up here, it's not that good, but still loads better than that piece of crap standing on my desk.
3 - Aggie. I'm disappointed in Irish chocolate, nothing's as good as marabou. (Okay that's a lie, but Crunchie is not what I expected haha, thanks anyway honey!)
wake up call
I can't sleep. And I have this song in my head, I just can't get it out. So instead of trying to sleep I thought I would just listen to this song over and over again and ignore that I have to get up early tomorrow. I went to IKSU today, tried to get as tired as possible so I would just drop dead looking at my pillow. It didn't work. I think it's always like that, when you've had a lot of free time for a while, and then all of a sudden you're supposed to do things at certain times again. Who came up with that? I kind of like it though. A schedule. I will be so extremely tired tomorrow, doesn't matter if I actually could fall asleep now or not, I'll be tired tomorrow anyway, so why not just do what I feel like until my brain stops processing so much and I'll fall asleep?
This song I'm listening to is truly amazing. But I can't write which song it is, or who made it, because I know it will be ruined for me when I do that. I just love the feeling. When you listen to a song, you don't really know why you like it, but it feels like it's written just for you. In this case, just for me of course.
I've been a stranger to myself this week. Many reasons. But now I feel like myself again, and I feel like this spring will be great. And my fingers hurt of playing too much guitar. I missed that feeling. I even wrote an email to an old friend, which I've been thinking of doing for a few years, but I never came around to it. And now I did it.
I've met a few people now who moved into the corridor also. At first I was sceptic, since Aggie moved out I just felt like no one would be good enough to live here, and even though that's still true, the new people are really nice. Like I wrote in the new years text, I have a hard time believing in the good of people. But I really try to, because it gives you good karma, which is something I do believe in.
And I've got some really good ideas. For small things, for big things, for everything. Even if a part of me is kind of low right now, there's another part of me going crazy. Positively crazy. I just feel kind of okay. Inside. And everything actually works out for the best. A year ago I was going through the hardest time in my life. And now I'm sitting here. Feeling older than 21. Which I'm not. "There are two kinds of people. Men and Women".
Play faster, crazy bastard
Not good, not good!

"Ett plan har halkat av banan på Arlanda.
Inga passagerare skadades.
Men planet ska stå kvar i snödrivan i väntan på utredning av haverikommissionen."
If this would happen to me I would freak out so much! And I promise it will, just because this is what I'll be thinking about the next time I'm flying. Okay, there wasn't any accident NOW, but these things shouldn't happen!
the 19C crew
Tomorrow 19C will not be the same. Without my sweet Aggie leaving for Ireland. Thanks for being the most wonderful friend, and I will miss you so much. It won't be the same without you sweetie, but I'll see you soon !
morning light therapy @ nydala
Exit Music
Guys. I'm taking a break. Quitting. At least for a while.
Who's got my back now?
DIIIIEEE. Is what my body is going to do tomorrow. After sleeping most of the time the last month I don't think my body was prepared for the shock of actually moving. Body Pump today, and doing that after spinning yesterday? Haha. I know it seems like I whine about it, but it feels really good actually! Was going to pick up my exam today also, but the lady wasn't there.. So I have to go to the university tomorrow again. It's not far, but when it's -20 I don't really feel like going outside. Bara att bita ihop!
The last week I've been listening a lot to Creed, haven't done that for a couple of years, but some songs are brilliant. Like this one.
Hm.
Even though my corridor is pretty much empty at the moment it's still great to be here. Feels like I went home weeks ago, not yesterday. Been studying all morning, soon some lunch, then study and then IKSU with Erika. The only thing I don't want to do today is go to and from IKSU, but I'll survive. Because Spinning, here I come! Btw, this is what I came home to yesterday, I think my flowers hate me. Yes, flowerS, there is another one. Poor thing.
Hide
Came home a few hours ago, bought some food, took a hot shower, slept a little. My after-panic from flying almost disappeared. Almost. Anyway, finally got some photos from my camera, but right now I still feel a little tired. So guys, I've been dancing with the devil way too long
Stuff.
I'll have to get up really early tomorrow. Take the plane back to Umeå. I know I wrote it before, but I hate flying. But I don't want to write too much about it, that will just freak me out more. So I'm packing my stuff, trying to decide what to bring and what to leave here. It's difficult. And I'm trying NOT to think. About anything. That's more difficult.
Me and Bilbo, just chillin'.
010110
You can read about my new years evening in Alex blog, so I'll just take the opportunity and say this. I am so happy. Stressed out, yes, but happy. I have great expectations of this year! One day at a time my little geeks! (Because only a geek would read this blog, haha) Puss !
Gott Nytt År!
I can't believe it's ten years ago everyone was waiting for the year 2000, and now there's a new decade coming up. I can't stop thinking that in ten years I'll be 31. Now that's a number I'm not looking forward to. Anyway, soon having dinner with the family, and then heading to Alex.
I'm really looking forward coming back to Umeå. But it's on tuesday, so soon I can relax. Because living at home = Driving me slowly insane.
Happy new year!
Bones
Bones. I'm addicted. Watch it ! And I know I'm behind, haha, but I love that I've got five seasons ahead of me ! Yey!
Lesson number one, which I will never learn
My feet are freezing. FREEZING. Don't wear converse when it's -8 C outside.
Mr. Jones
2009
It's time to do some thinking. About this year. For me this has been the most difficult year of my life. In every possible way. But this has also been the year I've found myself. I know, it sounds cheesy, but fuck it.
2009
What was the single best thing that happened this past year? Well, I would have to say my tattoo I did in March. It really means a lot to me.
What was the single most challenging thing that happened? Moving. Moving home, moving back in with my ex, moving to Umeå.
What was an unexpected joy this past year? I would definitely have to say 19C. My corridor. Never could have imagined living with such great people. Of course that includes a lot of people in all of Umeå also. And the first half of this year, really enjoying working with the most amazing people also. AND, this is important, I learned how to fillet fish. I can gut and fillet a salmon, oh yeah.
What was an unexpected obstacle? Moving also. When I started this year I never could have imagined it to turn out like it did. I guess that is the great thing about life.
Pick three words to describe 2009. Change, Party, Independence
What were the best books you read this year? Hm, I never remember which books I've read. So I'll just take the one I'm reading right now. Orwell - 1984. Haha. Or maybe Marilyn Manson's biography. But that mostly reminds me of laying in the sun by the ocean alone.
With who was your most valuable friendship? Mom. But a lot of people have supported me this year. Thank you.
What was your biggest personal change from January to December of this past year? I'm not proud to say it, I've become so cynical. But I'm working on it.
In what way(s) did you grow emotionally? I guess I've learned to listen to myself. It sounds stupid, I know, but you know, just being able to make your own decisions without listening too much to others.
In what way(s) did you grow spiritually? I didn't grow spiritually this year.
In what way(s) did you grow physically? Haha, well, I've lost about 6 kg from this summer to today, and I bought an IKSU card. Yey !
In what way(s) did you grow in your relationships with others? When it comes to new people I'm really naive. I want to think that every new person I meet is nice on the inside. Well, life is not like that, but I think having faith in people is important. You see, I really try not to be that cynical. I'm almost fooling myself.
What was your single biggest time waster in your life this past year? World of Warcraft. But not since september !
What was the biggest thing you learned this past year? That everything works out. And that even though there's rain, the sun always comes back. No matter how down you feel.
I feel ready for 2010.
My hometown is burning !
This is completely crazy ! There's been a major fire just two streets from my parents house. And they estimate that they should be able to save 4/10 houses, the other six are totally destroyed! And at this moment it is still burning down there. Thankfully nobody's hurt, but still, this is really insane. I feel so sorry for the families.
Strange.

I just have a hard time imagining how difficult it must be. To me it's like a story, it's not really true that people go through this. It's just news. I think we get emotionally cold after a while. We hear so much from newspapers and TV that we don't really take anything in anymore. I guess it's normal, nothing really gets to someone unless it happens to oneself or to someone near to you. Now I don't mean just smuggling of people, but also war, natural disasters, trafficking and so on. It's unreal.
.
wtf
You would also say wtf if you looked outside my window this very minute. It's snowing like crazy! I don't really have much to add, except that tonight will be fun! And I should probably get out of bed and make some breakfast, enjoy our christmas tree and get back to The Big Bang Theory.
God jul !
Det är dags. För 15 år sedan var jag sjukt spänd på vad som skulle ske om några timmar. Julafton. I dagsläget --> Nja, inte lika mycket. Men God Jul allihopa, hoppas den blir precis som ni har tänkt er. Puss&Kram // Ems
lite finpop att sova till
svenska filmer.
Jag vet att varje gång jag skriver (i alla fall i min blogg) att jag ska göra något senare på kvällen så betyder det egentligen att jag förmodligen till 99% inte kommer göra det. Nu har jag till och med skitit i min gamla dator och langat fram macen istället. Alltså, har man väl ägt en mac går man inte tillbaka. Då är man fast, for life. Skulle aldrig kunna ha hemska windows igen, usch! Men jag ska langa en massa foton hit, det lovar jag. Först måste jag bara fixa över bilderna till denna dator. Så håll ut!
Idag har jag kollat på Stieg Larssons två första filmer. Män som hatar kvinnor och Flickan som lekte med elden. Blev ju lite sugen sådär eftersom det är så mycket snack, och när jag letade efter ett ps3 spel jag var sugen på så hittade jag istället dessa två filmer, och jag om någon är så extremt skeptisk till svenska filmer. Det finns få som berört mig och som jag någonsin skulle vilja se igen. Men jag vet inte. Jag är positivt överraskad. Okej, Flickan som lekte med elden sög ju mer än väntat, men Män som hatar kvinnor, grattis schweden, ni har gjort en BRA film! Jag är seriöst förvånad. Om det inte var för Peter Habers insats som psyko. Men annars så.
Nu sitter jag bara i min säng och väntar på att julskinkan ska bli klar. Vid nio ungefär. Vem är det som äter en julvörtsmacka med senap och varm julskinka då kan man undra?! Skulle det vara jag?! Jo, jag tror det. Ahh, jag längar.
Ska förmodligen till sjukan imorgon. Har mått väldigt konstigt senaste veckan, dags att ta reda på vad det beror på. Även om det är dagen före julafton. Så håll tummarna för att det inte är något jobbigt!
NO!
I'm so stupid. I thought since I'll have so much freetime here I'll document it with my camera and share some pics with you guys, but now it turns out I forgot my usb for the camera, so that sucks.. But I guess I'll just have loads of pictures when I get back to Umeå instead! Took some nice shots of the snow today though.. So nice! I hope the snow will stay until newyears so I can show Mat how a real Stockholm christmas would look like.. !
Just came back from a fika with Therése, one of my best friends, she also doesn't live here anymore.. It's so great catching up when everyone's here for christmas. :) Now I'm gonna continue relaxing, and tonight I'll have some real old-school pics waiting for you.. Probably involving Alex, mwoahah.. I think I'll slowly grow younger the time I'll spend here, and by january I'll be fifteen again ! Lets hope that not happens. Haha. Enough bullshit, have a nice evening, I will!

Home Sweet Home
I don't know if it's that sweet really, it's mostly weird, but I finally have some christmas spirit! So maybe this will be a nice christmas after all? Anyway. This day has been terrible. Terrible. I've been feeling pretty bad the last few days, mostly feeling sick, so today taking the plane to Sthlm wasn't that good. But hey, I survived it, ate dinner my mom made and voila, I feel better ! It will be weird sleeping here though, I'm not used to a 120 bed anymore!
And dad fixed up my old computer, and he saved a harddrive I thought was dead and gone, and I found loads of old pics on it. Guess if I've been laughing? I'll sort them out a little tomorrow! Now I feel so tired I could fall asleep in a minute. So I'll go down and be social a while, and after that, SLEEPING! For a month!
Here's an old pic a few years ago, I miss those jeans dammit.. Haha. Kisses and hugs from a very snowy Nynäshamn!
HAHA
Couldn't stop laughing. Aftonbladet is so stupid sometimes. God jul, du ska dö, hahah. http://www.aftonbladet.se/wendela/relationer/article6311329.ab
Andra presentkort man aldrig vill se under granen:
-Ett års psykoanalys. (God jul, du är knäpp!)
-Penisförlängning. (God Jul, din snopp är för liten.)
-Ett års oväntat medlemskap i Viktväktarna. (God Jul, du är tjock!)
-Årsavgift i en ”alla kan sjunga-kör”. (God Jul, du kan inte sjunga. Däremot måste du dras med Caroline Ugglas.)
-Presentkort på skrapning. (God Jul, älskling. Jag vill inte ha det där barnet vi väntar.)
-Begravning. (God Jul, du ska dö!)
LOV !
I'm proud to present myself, my four week vacation that I have ahead of me and a smile to all of you! After feeling sick the whole night, I still did my exam this morning and now I feel great! Now all I need is to come home for a few weeks to my best friend and get new energy. I miss you. <3
Leende Med Kniv
Now it's winter. For real. -17, and now when it's dark it's even worse. But you know, it's not that bad when I sit here studying for my last exam tomorrow, with some candles, Bo Kaspers Orkester and Yoda on my wall. The last two days have been really cold, but also the sun's been shining on Umeå, which we all needed up here.
But it sucks a little, because I have three sweaters on me. And I'm still cold. But apparently winter has come to Stockholm also. But then I'll have Dexter as my sweater. And since I'm going home on sunday, this means I'll see Umeå again next year. 2010. But until then I still have three more days here! I think it's time to check out the hill of Mariehem. You?
Mozart and the Whale
Underbar !
The King
I just read my friend Johanna's blog http://stringstrumpa.blogg.se and she met the King at NK! How cool is that? That made me realize that I've actually never seen our king irl. Or have I? I think I would have remembered it haha. Anyway. My days right now are so crazy. Sleeping for 11 hours each night, studying for my realia exam on friday and.. yeah, that's about it. Except, today I finally got an invitation to Voddler ! Yey! Voddler is like spotify, but with movies.. So it's really cool. It's just a beta right now, but I think it will be awesome one day.
Anyway. Back to my books ! And soon some dinner. :) punx
21 years later
And here I am! Going to try and be effective for the next few hours, wish me luck.
Breakfast !
After sleeping for 11 hours I think I deserve some breakfast. Especially after watching all the new episodes from How I Met Your Mother!
Music.
Today I experienced a good thing. Something I haven't experienced since I was seventeen. Now I finally can say that music isn't ruined for me. To explain it a little, since I went to Rytmus (my high-school, a pure music school) I haven't been able to enjoy watching amateur bands that much. I only analyze, everything. The song, the guitarist (especially the guitarist) and yeah... Everything. But today at lunch there was a band playing in the Universe (also known as Universum which is a building on campus, and yes, I know it's funny) and I really enjoyed it ! Of course I analyzed some, but most of all I really liked it! And this is a huge step for me. Maybe there's hope for me after all.
And btw, I still can't believe I'm going out in a school for eight weeks next term for teaching practice. Insane. But by then I'm at least 21. Haha.
pju.
I just biked so fast from Ålidhem to Mariehem that I can barely breath, I'm so close to throwing up right now. You want to know why? Because I chose to take the road by the lake, surrounded by trees and dim lights, and people who know me know how mental I am. Afraid of the dark, always imagining scary things coming to haunt me. Yes, I guess you can call me paranoid. I'm so fucked up. Anyway, first it was okay. I was biking, listening to Dream Theater - Learning to Live. Some people were walking on the road. Then everyone disappeared, I was all alone biking in the woods. Faster. Faster. SO FUCKING FAST. Haha. And then my bag from ICA broke so all my (three) stuff fell on the ground. Haha.
So now when I got home I was so tired. And I couldn't find any music to fit my mood. But then I remembered. Which music is so chill that it's perfect? Pat Metheny's Bright Size Life record. B-e-a-utiful.
Breathe.
Decisions
I've decided to be strong and not whine anymore. At least for now, because I woke up and felt like I wanted to sleep forever. Then I actually got out of bed, and as strange as it was even for me, I felt really good! Because now my little darlings, I only have two weeks left of my first term as a teacher student. Isn't that pretty weird? Anyway, to make myself even more happy this morning I'm going to share some nice pics from our baking yesterday. The big one is my lovah.
I am not deceased and I do not have a disease
I'm tired. And I feel a little... Tired. Just two more weeks, and then I can start up again. My brain. My body. Myself. Right now I have three things I absolutely must do this week (this week, it's after twelve!).
- Vocabulary Exam tuesday
- TLOE (teaching and learning of English) presentation tuesday or thursday
- Start studying for the Realia exam which is on the 18th.
Probably after saturday I will feel much wiser and everything will go sooo smoothly.
Semi-Charmed Life
We just watched American Pie - Beta House. Wtf. And the sad thing is that I've already seen it. I am so tired right now, this day has been soooo long. Tonight I can finally sleep. SLEEP. I love sleeping. Tomorrow I can sleep all day. I shouldn't and I won't. But I could if I wanted to.
Otherwise guys, you should really see City of God if you haven't seen it. Master piece.
Cold Day in the Sun
Jag tror det är dags. Dags att rycka upp sig. Även fast min cykel har gett upp hoppet så finns mitt kvar.
Idag så gick jag hem från skolan. Med betoning på ordet gick, för senaste månaderna så har jag ju faktiskt bara cyklat. Och jag blev positivt överraskad. Har glömt bort hur skönt det kan vara att gå, med lite bra musik, och bara njuta. För solen har ju faktiskt tittat fram idag, det är inte bara ett sammanträffande med titeln på dagens inlägg (grym Foo Fighters låt) och den egentliga sanningen.

Cause you said it all before
Think it's time you walk this lonely road all on your own

It's your cold day in the sun
Looks like your bleeding heart
Has already won

Wish I could take it away
And save you from yourself
You get so lost inside your head like no one else

Looking for someone to blame
Blame me all along
You'll take the heat, but you would never take the fall

Die Buying
Today I was really close buying lots of crap. As I've written many times before, when you really need to do something, everything else is so much more appealing. And today H&M is the bastard who's keeping me away from my studies. Okay, not anymore, now I'm just sitting here.
I had the worst morning btw. Well, first it was good, I woke up next to Mat, even though it was 7 am I pulled myself out of bed. Got ready, had breakfast. THEN my friends I went outside. Cold. Freezing. And since it's been raining in this town every day of november it was kind of slippery. Kind of. Very. Extremely. For a minute I thought "Hey, maybe I should take the bus?". And then my devil half told me "No come on, don't be so stupid. Get on the bike!". And the evil half always win. So I started unlocking my bike. Frozen. Fuck. So I took my lighter and warmed it up a bit. Tried again. Yay! It worked. I didn't really care about falling, well, maybe a little since my macbook was in my bag.
I started cycling. Not so bad, even though my brakes were weird. Frozen. But I managed. Until five minutes later, right before going down a long hill, the brake on the front wheel froze. On the wheel. It got stuck. Fortunately I almost had no speed, so I didn't fall. But my front wheel wouldn't spin. So I had to carry the bike back home. When I was outside and locked the bike my class had already started. Fuck it, I thought, I'll just take the bus. I waited by the bus stop for 10-15 minutes. Two buses came, and none of them were going to the university. Then I got really pissed off and went back home. Nothing is worth this bullshit.
( a time long ago when my bike actually liked me and I liked it back. )
So I came home. A warmed up bed waiting for me, perfect. And here I am, almost 3 pm. Bored, tired, whiny and hungry. I think my aunt Flow is messing with me. Bitch.
Way Out
Fuck. I haven't studied all weekend. Haha, but I do know what I need to do, so I'm not that stressed, there is something wrong with me head I think. (yeah, congrats) Anyway, yesterday was awesome. Weird, stupid and strange. But so much fun! After a normal pre-party (if you mean by normal guys dressed like girls and vice versa) we went to the party. Only one problem. No one had any fucking idea where the place was, so what should have been a 2 minute bike ride turned out to be a 45 minute ride. Don't even ask. Haha. Then we got there, danced, got drunk, a lot of fun things happening (which is really boring stories for you but fun for me). Bags and bikes got stolen, and being the last ppl to leave the party we came home 4:30.. A stupid night, in a good way :)
And today has been so nice. I've been absolutely useless, everyone's been in the kitchen all day, eating, watching TV, eating, talking bullshit, eating.. Aaaaaand.. We've put up some christmas decorations ! They are so beautiful so I thought I would share them with you.
Help I'm alive
Just woke up. I slept so bad. Couldn't sleep first of all, so I had my computer by my bed watching the SAME Gilmore Girls episode like five times. I think I was up till five or something. But now I'm up, and a new day awaits.
Yesterday was really great! Me, Anna and Andreea made pizza for Aggie, wonderful pizzas, and then we went to see New Moon. And I'm surprised how good it was.. And I'm also surprised how much bullshit we can talk when we're all together. It's great ! And tonight the plan is to drink. We'll see where we'll end up. Time to start using my camera again I've noticed !
Halo.
I still get amazed. (And why shouldn't I, I'm only 20)
About everything. (Even though I haven't seen a lot)
About life. (It's out there honey)
Haha, enough bullshit for tonight. Sov gott.
My first day, August24
Today I thought about my first day here in Umeå. It was great. Now I feel so safe here, it is like home, but I thought I'd tell you about my first day when I still was a little bit broken. So not just the excitement about moving to a new town where I did not know anyone, but also the relief of finally getting away from Nynäshamn. I think a lot of people (at least in my generation) from Nynäs (or any suburban little shit hole) are so scared of getting stuck. I was one of them, but now I've let that go. Anyway, with a too heavy suitcase my parents gave me a ride to Arlanda airport, we left at 6 am, and just 10 minutes after we'd started driving Lars Winnerbäck - Solen i Ögonen comes on the radio. The sun was up, I yawned, but realized that this was a great start of a strange day.
So after lots of carrying, eating breakfast on the plane and arriving in Umeå, I took a taxi to my hood. My first encounter with someone from Umeå was the taxi-driver. His accent was distinct, and he told me about my neighborhood, I felt a bit relieved, and then he told me about the neighborhood where most students live, how crappy it was. (Haha, now I actually like it, but kind of funny) I was one of the first to arrive in my corridor, I live on the third floor, there was no one there. Carefully I checked out the kitchen, in the fridge I just found some old potatoes on a plate, otherwise empty. It was around 10 am, I had been up for five hours, and after leaving my suitcase in my room I decided to go downtown and try my luck with the buses.
I had no idea which one I should take, but then I asked the bus driver on the first bus that came by if this one would take me downtown. It did. (Because now I know that every fucking bus goes downtown) Anyway, that guy was so nice. Told me about the buses, about downtown and everything. And finally I got around and bought too much crap as usual. Even though I had so much stuff I still needed stuff to my bed. So I asked a nice person in a store which bus I should take so I could get to Jysk. So I went on that one, but that part of town is really weird, and you need a car if you want to get around smoothly. But eventually I found it, bought stuff, called a taxi and came home.
Tired as hell I went to ICA and bought food. A shrimp/egg sandwich for dinner. It was perfect. And that same evening I met Aggie. Crazy girl who I quickly realized I would get along with, we watched True Blood together, talked a lot and Umeå suddenly did not feel that scary anymore. I slept really good that night.
That same week a lot of stuff happened, but that is a different story and I'm tired. Now I'm going to the crappy side of campus, where me and Erika probably will live together next fall.
They're gonna eat me alive
I hate mondays. I don't really know why, it must be so worked in to your mind that mondays are bad or something. I just have one class from 10-12, so I should be really chill today. I though have to study some today, which sucks, but not really if I compare it working from 10-19 which would have been a normal day for me at Konsum.
You've always have to see the bright side of everything. Today I can sit with my irish honey in the library all day. I seriously have to go to Ireland !
IKSU, watch out, I'm back
Going to meet up Erika in an hour for spinning, and after that sauna and jacuzzi. Life is good, I know !
Björklöven - Borås 0-1
I'm sorry Björklöven, but you kind of suck. But since I'll probably live here for another couple of years I will support you and stand by you.. I might not see every game (I will definitely NOT see every game haha) but I will be there for you dear Löven.. Haha.
I'd rather be home in Nynäs and support my brother, but hey, what can you do ?
2012
It's like Mat said, a mix of every catastrophe/doomsday movie during the last 20 years mixed into one. 2012. Even though I have a thing for crazy end-of-the-world movies this takes the fucking price. Crazy. See it. Because you have to. And after you've seen it --> Laugh. Maybe you don't get my tone in the text, but what I want to say is that this movie is a f-ing joke ! But in a good way. Or I just feel like that because I had a sweet man next to me when I saw it.. Well, that's for me to know and for you to find out! See it.

Life.
I'm slowly coming back to life. I know the darkness is trying to get to me, not the supernatural darkness (stoopid) but the darkness that visits Umeå every day from 14:30 --> next morning. It is hard, especially when the snow refuses to stay. But certain things in life make this much more easier, so I'm not really complaining. The only thing I really could complain about right now is my cold which is stopping me from going to IKSU.. And that is about it..
Perhaps dinner could be in order.. And then it's back to Zelda again.. A Link to the Past, oldschool! Me like!
love
Rain.
I still don't feel well, but like yesterday I really need to go to school today again. But the good thing now is that I just have a very bad cold, I don't think I have a fever or anything.. And today is Aggie's birthday!
I just want to sleep, but fuck it, we will see where the day takes me.. Probably to bed sooner than later.
Sick.
I feel so bad today. Fucking cold. I just hope I'll manage the two hours at school, because we're starting our last course for this fall today. I can't miss it. I just want to sleep.
Tired.
I don't know how I do it. Every day goes by so frikkin' fast that I can't keep up. Like today for example. I am so tired right now, so I can't really provide you with something interesting. Except that I'm reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, a book I've read a couple of times. It always gets me in a good mood. Read it.
Me and Erika baked this delicious cake for Andreea and Aggie. You have no idea how good it was.
Snow and Pizza
You know, today very few things could bring me down. I've just been cycling in the snow for 20 minutes, and I've been watching Next all day and I even had a pizza.
Yesterday was Andreeas birthday, so we had a great party for our favorite girl, I'll give you some pics tomorrow! Tonight about 20-30 ppl are going to a guys room in his corridor and watch the match Ireland - France .. Interesting. From tomorrow I will give you a better update. Especially since this german keyboard is so weird.

.:.:.:.:.:.
Tomorrow I have a big grammar test. I'm a little freaked out. Wish me luck, even if you do not write it, think it. Maybe it will help ! Haha... !
Big Bang Theory
I'm with you now guys.. I've finally started watching BBT and it is greeeat. See it dammit !
I went to Punch Out yesterday with Erika, so much fun! You punch the hell out of each other for one hour... And today we're going to spinning.. Gogogo
Stay with me
This is what I need
Zombie Land was great. Really great actually! And yesterday I watched Paranormal Activity with Mat. Damn! Scary movie. But I'm not that freaked out today as I thought I would be.
--
And yeah, the snow has reached Umeå, as I wrote a while ago. It all melted away and the streets got frozen, so yesterday every street was so icy. So after me and Anna, one in my corridor, had been at IKSU working out we took our bikes home. On our way we took a different road than I'm used too, but it was okay. If it hadn't been the downhill awaiting us, and me loosing control over my back wheel which almost made me glide straight into the road when I car was driving by.. So close. So kids, do NOT take your bikes when the streets are icy. That's my lesson. Even though I'm sure they are pretty icy tonight also, and I promised to go to Punch Out with Erika today.. Well, we will just have to see if I will make it back. Wish me luck !
Winnah
Did I mention I kicked ass at bowling last saturday? I actually did win, but none of us were that good, but a victory is indeed a victory!
The truth is, I miss you
Sometimes it is hard to force yourself to do things, even though you know you will thank yourself later. Like doing laundry. Like studying. Like not eating candy. I'm doing (and not doing) all these things right now, and frankly I do not even miss the candy.
I am watching Zombie Land tonight. First I was going to see Paranormal Activity, but since I am sleeping alone tonight that is out of the question. Next week is going to be a bitch.
Five years.
It is weird and nice at the same time. As things look right now my life is so secure for the next five years. I will graduate 2014, and I just got my whole education sorted out, every semester. Of course things will happen, preferably I'll go abroad for a year or something.. But still. In five years I'm almost 26!
Alta was geht ?
And by the way, it snowed last night. Now I feel alive again.
Ouch.
Fuck you bodypump! Haha. My arms and legs... Pju.
Hjältar.
There are a lot of great musicians I look up to. And when it comes to guitarists there are even more. But I've chosen three that I really like. Because three is the magic number. First, some jazz, and also my old World of Warcraft character.
Pat Metheny
Born august 12, 1954, Missouri. Jazz my friends. He's the leader of the Pat Metheny group. Everything is from the heart, and I love it. One of my favorite songs with this awesome guy is Bright Size Life, not only written by Metheny but still his playing is wonderful.
Eric Johnson
Born august 17, 1954, Texas. I think everyone have heard Cliffs of Dover at this point, after it became a hit in Guitar Hero 3. But this guy is great. And it's not only that he plays like a maniac, he's also really inspiring. At least to me. I chose his most known song, the song doesn't really start until 5.30, but everything before is great also.
Mark Knopfler
Born august 12, 1949, Glasgow (is every great guitarist born in august?) I don't really think I need to present Knopfler, I can just name Dire Straits and you all know who I'm talking about. I just love the feeling. And if I die, this is the song I would like on my funeral.
yoyoyo
Haha, yesterday didn't really turn out as I expected. After a couple of hours in school I went downtown to fix some stuff, and everything went crappy and I was in the worst fucking mood when I came home. And did I mention I lost my gloves when I went to Stockholm? Anyway, got new ones, and I lost them yesterday too. So now I'm on my third pair. Really good work. The last two weeks I've been hopeless.
But the day didn't end badly, we went to Origo to watch the game and then later on to Corona to dance a little. We started off with some russian vodka which made the whole night a whole lotta more interesting. And today I've just been chillin' with M and now he's making me dinner! Perfect for me. :)
Tonight I'm going to tell you about something very interesting. Mina favorit gitarrister! So stay tuned.

But, Honestly
Good morning honeys. I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have any time for you, my blog, I'm so sorry. Yeah right. Okay, anyway, had my second vocabulary exam yesterday. And I feel good about it, but I'm scared I might deceive myself. You know when you feel calm about something, and then it just blows up in your face. But yeah, it felt really good! The exam wasn't until 4pm, so it was pretty late. Afterwards I went to IKSU (for you who haven't read my blog before and doesn't live in Umeå, it's our big wellness center here with gym, swimming and everything.. Yeah, you name it.) Went to Step, which was really fun haha. You're like dancing round a step board.. I was really tired after that!
Wow, this is boring. Sorry guys, might give you something good tonight ! After some studying. ;) Now --> Breakfast!
MJAU
Yesterday was fun, when I first went to Erika at 6 I wasn't that excited about the night, but after having our own little pre-party, me painting my ears (my cat ears on paper, not my real ears) and listening to good music we came in the mood ! Ebba (great girl from Erikas class) came by with two friends and then we went to Carmen, an awesome girl from spain, who had a pre-party too. There the other guys were getting ready, crazy black people and mummies. Very scary indeed! A couple of hours after we went to the big party, a LOT of people. We could barely get down the stairs. And at half past eleven the speakers broke, so all the music came from two small computer speakers. Haha. But it was a great night. Thanks everyone.
Now I have to study like hell for my exam tomorrow, wish me luck. And here's a couple of pics from last night. Enjoy. ;)
Halloween
This is the first time in many years that I'm not going to the cemetery in Nynäshamn on Halloween. And it is not because I'm some crazy goth person who wants to destroy graves, no, every year mum and dad goes to the cemetery to light a candle on my grandparents graves. And everyone does it, which makes the whole place so beautiful. I wish I could be there and just see the view, it is so beautiful with lighted candles as far as the eye can see.
Well, I'm not sure how tonight will turn out, but I will bring my camera and show you guys tomorrow. Have a great halloween, and imagine this: It's the first of november tomorrow. That is insane.
zomg
I've been crying for like 10 minutes because I'm laughing so much.. Hahahha
Dreams.
My alarm went off 5:50 this morning. I planned to do laundry all morning, which I have done, the last machine is running, anyway, we only have one washing machine on our floor, so it takes like 4-5 hours to do your laundry. And in between running back and forth this morning I went to sleep again. And I had the weirdest dream haha, me and some other person had moved in in a gated community, the thing was that it was only one house, and when the other people living there found us we ran like hell, and when two persons finally caught up with me they were going to do an exorcism on me ! Thank god I woke up before that happened.. Freaked me out a little haha.

I should never have taught M to play Zombie.. Now I can't get it out of my head, haha ! Anyway, it's been so great to play my guitar again and today I bought the crappiest but funniest thing I've bought in a while. And I found an acoustic guitar I really really want. Soon me and Erika will start our project, which I will tell you all about when it is time. But it involves guitars, harmonicas, great songs and a gig next year. Yeah. So here it is, my new amplifier. I don't want to brag, but the sound is legen... wait for it... sucky .
There's a first for everything
Today was not a first. But a first in a while. Today I finally bought my IKSU card, and went to punch out with Erika. And damn, she hit me silly ! Crazy woman. But a lot of fun. So, from this day on, I'm going to feel a little bit better, sleep a little bit better, eat a little bit better. Hey, maybe even study a little bit better? Because guys. I've got an IKSU card.
My weekend at "home"
Well, I suppose I should write "home" without the ". But what the hell. Anyway, I could sum up the weekend real quick just writing three words. Eating, drinking, sleeping. But that wouldn't be that fun, would it? So if someone actually gives a shit, here we go;
Thursday
Eating. Eating. Eating. After my parents picked me up at Arlanda after a terrifying (I'm over exaggerating just a tad) flight we went to one of my brothers apartments in Stockholm, such a nice place. Got a little jealous. But then of course I thought of my corridor up here in Umeå, and who would choose a great apartment over a small room in a corridor? Hehe, I love my corridor, you will tell. I'm serious! Hrm, back to my brother. Then we got back to Nynäshamn, which is my official hometown. Had dinner, had some dessert. Watched Men in Tights and Young Frankenstein, EYEGOR. That's good freakin' humor. Felt so weird sleeping in my old room again but after a couple o hours my eyes finally closed.
Friday
Eating. Drinking. Eating. Throwing up. I got up at 7. Went down to my old job and had breakfast there with all the wonderful people from konsum. That's right, I do miss you! I don't miss the job, but the people, oh yes. After that I got a haircut, went home and slept for a few hours. Watched some crappy TV, then I met up with my childhood pal Elin and we went in to Stockholm to meet up with some "old" friends, haha. Magnus, Johan and their friend Jakob. After a couple of beers we went to Gås and had some more beers, danced to a couple of songs. Then food, back to Magnus place, and then you can figure out the rest. No, nothing dirty, I ate so fucking much the whole day so everything came up. The way of life. RIP.
Saturday
Okay, this is getting boring. If you've read this far, you must be bored. Eating. Drinking. Dancing. Sleeping. After a nice day I met up with some of my girls, Denise, Johanna, Alexandra, Sara, Elin etc ! We had a great pre-party (you can read all about this night in Alexandra's blog too), and then we went out to TG (TeleGrafen, the only place where people our age can go out in Nynäs). So, a great night. I love my girls.
Sunday
Woke up and realized I had won something. One hour ! Great. Got a call from Therése, one of my best friends, and we met up and talked about life and everything around it. This fall has been pretty crazy, because no one of us lives in Nynäshamn anymore, so that I managed to meet up with all these people this weekend is insane. Anyway, a great day. When I got home I ate and watched movies the rest of the day. Perfect for me.
Monday
Today. Went to Arlanda, and here I am, writing this text. It bores me to read about my weekend. Haha. But now I'm back in Umeå again, and I'm ready to get right back into my real life. I have lots of great stuff with me from home. My favorite guitar, and an old lunchbox. A lot of clothes and shoes, some CDs and DVDs. Umeå feels more and more like home. The first pic is my old bands record What from 2000-never. Like five years ago. And the second pic is my Hagström.
