[thirty-nine] what is your natural hair color?
Light Brown... However, people tend to think I'm a natural redhead because of my damn freckles!

[forty] who was the last person to make you cry?

People rarely make me cry...




Wow. You managed to stay awake, congratulations!

it'll be just like starting over

I wrote a blog post earlier today, it was a few lines about how all of this holiday related family stuff was starting to drive me slightly insane.
What was I thinking? I am so lucky to have these wonderful people in my life, and I should appreciate every single moment that I get to spend with them.
Have the events of this past month taught me nothing?!

This December has been more surreal than usual, an emotional roller coaster ride of extreme dimensions... Being in the same room as your mother as she takes her last breath, asking the one who loves you to leave for good. Those are not easy things to cope with and honestly I haven't quite experienced anything like this before in my life, I have no clue what my reaction to all of this will be. In a way it feels as if I am watching my own life from a distance.
Someone told me that the sadness will come in waves, which is true.. the first wave was rather small. I'm certain, however, that the bigger ones are yet to come.

I am looking forward to a new start in 2009. Surely, the events of this year that has passed will haunt me in the years to come, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. The losses experienced, the mistakes and choices made will most likely shape my future in ways I can't possibly begin to imagine.

I feel that this coming year will be one of great changes in this little life of mine.

simplicity

the simplest things are often the most beautiful ones.
yet, simplicity is so difficult to achieve.

it is truly complex.

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

smoking & smiling

It might kill you, but damn it's sexy...


Can't stop listening to 'Suzanne'. It's in my top ten, definitely.

***

I really dislike department stores, a lot. The snobbish people who work in them and the overly expensive items they sell. However, in order to celebrate the holidays my friend and I went to the fanciest one in Copenhagen and tried on overpriced head gear...
(I want this hat so bad!!)



Some people you've just gotta love.. this is one of them!



We went ice skating and had a fantasmiclysuperamazingly great time...



This is how freakin' beautiful this city of mine is at Christmas time, I'm so in love with it...



...and I made plans to party Mexican style in January. Oh happiness, thanks for stopping by today!

a whole lotta blogging

Well, what can I say. I just feel like writing something which is not related to the role of the presidency in modern American government. So a blog post it shall be...

Today I've been decorating my apartment (it's quite late, I know) I haven't really been in a Christmas kind of mood at all this December, but then today it hit me right in the face - and it felt good. I've been listening to Chris Rea's 'Driving Home for Christmas' all day whilst drinking cinnamon/vanilla flavoured coffee. AND I also managed to put together a short Christmas video, hooray for me.

School has been killing me lately, I had to do a 15 min presentation on 'Punk and Thatcherism' which I barely survived and at the moment I'm struggling with a 10 page essay on the US presidency which is due on Monday, then I have Exams on the 2nd, 6th and 8th of January - two of which i feel completely unprepared for. I know I could easily get a sick note and just take them this summer instead, but then that would just give me a double up of exams in June... gah. There's no easy way around it I suppose.

And then there's my little Christmas shopping issue, I thought it was a really clever decision to purchase all of them online about a week ago, however, only ONE has actually turned up.. which means that the rest will not arrive in time for Christmas, so yeah, I'll have to go christmas shopping on Monday the twentyFREAKINGsecond of December - GREAT!

Okay, despite the obvious self pity in 2nd and 3rd paragraph of this blog post, I would like to announce that I am feeling quite happy today, and I am looking forward to spending Christmas studying.


Q: which song makes you feel christmas-y?

the urn and all that

How I feel: If I Fell by The Beatles

Today I'm meeting my brother at the Central Station at noon. We are going back home to bury her ashes. I am feeling very strange about it, it is the last funeral-related (or what ever to call it) thing we'll have to do.

Yesterday I was hit by this overwhelming wave of sadness.
It's been years since I moved out so I wasn't used to having her in my everyday life at all. It's the little things, really.. the moments where I might have wanted to call her to ask her one of those 'mom-questions' about laundry or cooking, to tell her that I passed an exam or that I bought a new hat.
I am becoming increasingly scared that the day may come when I no longer remember her voice, the way she smelled and what an amazingly good person she was. I constantly think of things I didn't get to tell her, questions I didn't get to ask, secrets I never got to share.
The fact that I, one day, may have kids of my own who will never have had the chance of getting to know her, saddens me.


I hope I will never forget


Q: which song(s) makes you cry/sad?

dead cat

There was an earthquake this morning at 6:30 am, unfortunately I slept right through the excitement of the whole thing.. When I got up I went to check this news site to at least read about it, and what was the headline..?
'Earthquake - cat squashed to death'
Yes, it's true.
That's all there was to be found on the Danish earthquake. Did I mention that this is a pretty tiny country.. any news is big news, apparently.

Oh, remember Columbo? The really crappy detective TV series? Well, as it turns out Peter Falk (the guy with the weird eyes) has alzheimers. Poor guy.

How I feel: She's not there by The Zombies



Tonight I have hot date with life. We haven't seen much of each other lately, life and I.


***
Many thoughts have been running through my mind lately. However, I am not able to structure any form of writing at the moment... So here's a list:

Passed my first exam yesterday (four to go)
Experienced the awkward Facebook break up moment
Single for the first time in years
Christmas feels strangely surreal this year
Haven't seen my dad since the funeral
Got family coming over Sunday to celebrate my ageing
Today I'm gonna wear the indigo tights I bought on the 29th


Life has been turned upside down,
I feel free

Sunday, December 7, 2008

am i the only one?


T
his kinda made me smile...


I always do that when I go shopping in December...

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

you are important to me

Saturday: what do you do when your older brother cries in your arms
Sunday: how do you leave your dad alone in an empty house
Monday: I am not able to cry. Why am I not able to cry
Tuesday: still no tears
Wednesday: today I'll put on my brave face and hope for tears to come

29th of november at 5am

Yesterday my mom passed away.

Thursday, November 27, 2008

a mixed bag of... what?

a detour of dimensions
ended up taking me all the right places

or so it seems

for how do you know if you're in the right place
will you know at all?



***

In other news, I am now the proud owner of the cheapest ukulele that money could buy. I haven't played any instrument in years so I'm quite rusty, however, I am actually mastering a few simple chords already (how very proud of myself I am).

This semester is almost over.. I feel like it just started, how time passed so fast is still a mystery to me. It is always like that.

It has almost been a year, but I remember that day like it was yesterday. I probably always will. It's funny, how it is the saddest memories, those you would rather forget, that will stick to your brain like an old piece of gum stuck under your shoe.




so many ideas, so little time.

lyrics i wish i'd written

string


hang my eyes up on a hook
swells the panic i can't look
inside my own skin i fail to find myself again

a million faces look the same
and their replies evaporate
there's no soul behind these eyes
if they can't glue me back again
ghosts drop hints and whisper things
just blood and bone and bits of string

family portrait on the wall
quiet confusion circle this
i can feel my mother's hand
but i can't find her face to kiss
there's no soul behind these eyes
if they can't glue me back again
someone's life inside a box
nothing here resets the clocks
ghosts drop hints and whisper things
just blood and bone and bits of string

when it falls..

The first snow of the year fell yesterday, it went on for hours, just quietly falling.
I like the way everything seems to move in slow motion when it snows.

There's something magic about it, the snow...


Thursday, November 20, 2008

a thought

I wonder if you at one point become immune to bad news.
Right now all I feel is this numbness.
I should be devastated, I know.

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

ooops i did it again..

Somehow this financial crisis doesn't seem to stop me from spending way too much money on records... I wonder why? Yes, I accidentally went into this shop where they had millions and millions of used records (no lie!). And since I needed some Beatles albums in my little collection pretty badly I picked up these three babies... And I've been listening to them constantly all afternoon! Rubber Soul is my favourite as it has one of my all time favourite Beatles tunes, 'In my Life', on it... OH, and it is t
he UK version of the album which apparently means that it has 14 tracks instead of the 12 which is on the US counterpart - yay! I would like to frame the Abbey Road and Help! covers, it would look so cool, but it is not really an option it seems..
My last purchase of the day is Tom Waits' Blue Valentine which is quite fantastic as well, I just love that guy's voice. So yeah, I definitely found a new favourite record store, but I'm afraid I'll go completely bankrupt if I go there again - maybe next month..!

I was in the mood to do a video today, however, all inspiration seemed to have left my body... It will come back though, I'm sure.
And hey, how about all of that love flowing around on the interwebz lately? If that's not amazing I don't know what is... It makes me awfully happy! The only downside is that I feel so far away from everything being stuck in this tiny little country of mine...

Oh well, what to do about it?


<3

Sunday, November 16, 2008

direction in life! where the heck did you come from?!?

OMG... I just had an epiphany! It's true...

I know exactly what I want to do with my life for the next 3-4 years. I've never felt like this before.
Wow... this feels really, really odd. But in a good way.
I started thinking, and suddenly everything just fell into place. Everything.

I've found this really great Masters Programme that I want to do once I've finished this Bachelor of mine. And the best thing is that I'll most likely be able to get in...

Oh sweet education system of Denmark, I think I love you..!
This means that my long lost motivation is back. Hell, I'm gonna climb that effin' mountain of academia that my professor rambled about a few weeks ago, and I'll do well!!!

Saturday, November 15, 2008

life happens

It really does.
Sometimes it just blows your mind.
It is quite good at the moment, life.

I've been considering marrying Leonard Cohen. However, I've reached the conclusion that he is probably a bit too old for me. He makes good music though...


Oh, talking about marriage, a 'boy' that I used to like is getting married - on my freaking birthday! What a coincidence, huh? ...I am not invited by the way.



C'est la vie...

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

on my mind.

If it happens soon, I'm afraid I'll blame my dad for not trying harder. Though I know it wouldn't be fair.

Sunday, November 9, 2008

oh, sweet nostalgia.. (early adventures in fluffiness)

I went back home this weekend to visit my parents. I spent some time looking through old family photos and this is what I found.... I am not the proud owner of a scanner so you'll have to live with these, which are basically digital photos taken of old crappy photos.
Um and yeah, I used to be blond... And also, I am a true child of the 80s!


Early adventures in fluffiness...



Yes, I actually did have a pet duckling (yea, now is the point where you should feel great pet-envy!)... Sadly, one day, the dog we had at the time ate the duckling, while I was watching... talk about childhood trauma!!




Me and a ton of cats...



My brother and me.. did I mention it was in the 80s!!? And how cool is that blue Volvo?



Well, I hope that you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane as much as I did... I know the picture quality is not the best, but hey, sometimes a girl has to improvise a little!

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

change

I'm sure that I witnessed a piece of very important history this morning.
I am quite happy about the way the US elections turned out.
What I find most impressive though, is the fact that so many people registered to vote and actually took the time and effort to get involved... this makes me feel some sort of reassurance.
There's still hope.... and people still care!


This is me... waiting for change.






It's gonna come I'm sure!

losing my vinyl virginity...


S
o, I went record shopping today for the first time in my life... It was like going to vinyl heaven... After leaving the store I felt SO high on adrenalin, it was amazing!

I got a few albums and some 45' singles - two of which are simply too awesome not to share with you:


This one is a classic, unfortunately they did not have the entire album...



And this one... Um yeah, I have no idea what this is... I just had to have it! I mean look at the title and those bananas!


Now, all I need is a record player... I will go and get that tomorrow.

Sunday, November 2, 2008

heart shaped fall


I found this amazing tree at a cemetery nearby... This is possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.







Tuesday, October 28, 2008

trashy.

Things I am not proud of in life (an ongoing list):

  • Eating pizza and drinking coke while watching Gossip Girl.
  • Not attending those boxing classes I signed up for.
  • Sometimes sleeping until noon.
  • Having no direction in life at the moment. Whatsoever.
  • Not being able to handle her disease.
  • My job.
  • Using public transportation when it rains.
  • Having the Thriller album in my CD collection.
  • The way I am not able to end things.
  • My tendency to avoid conflicts.

Saturday, October 25, 2008

all you need is love?

had a wonderful evening.. listened to old beatles tunes and discussed music with my brother (while the rest of the family seemed to be a bit bored). i feel kinda happy. stupidly happy. maybe it's because of the wine and beer..

<3

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

coffee, lots of it

I have not been able to focus on anything lately, let alone my studies.. Three more semesters and I will have my bachelors degree. That's an effin' year and a half!
Listening to Death Cab and drinking coffee, almost slept until noon.. need to do a translation essay for next week and I haven't even read the book yet!

I've become slightly addicted to Twin Peaks, and by slightly I mean completely! I simply love it.. Last time I watched it I was like 5 and the only thing I really remembered was the theme (which is great as well). I especially love those amazingly funny one liners of Agent Cooper.. this might very well be my favourite tv series ever.



Maybe I will go to university with my 'morning hair' today.

Sunday, October 19, 2008

back to black

Ever get the feeling that you are going slightly insane? Well, I'm right there with you.

I've been thinking about how a professor of mine rambled on about climbing the mountain of academia, how he as the enlightened person he is was at the very top of that mountain, and we, the students were still at the bottom. And well however fond I may be of the great outdoors I've been thinking that this might not be a mountain that I really wanna climb...

Oh metaphors, you gotta love them.


Blog layout changed... apparently black is the new green.
And yes... I know, my Photo Shop skills are hugely admirable - that banner is perfection isn't it...

a series of unfortunate events

not a series really.
just one very unfortunate event.
i had my shoes stolen. they were in the locker room at work, when i'd finished my shift they were gone.

people are idiots.

also, this morning i woke up with great hair.

starting from scratch

english is my second language, and i am not a very well structured writer. i don't care about capital letters and my punctuation is hopeless. i try though.
today i considered deleting all of my old blog posts, reading through the stuff i've posted on here made me stop and think. what i saw was extremely superficial entries about shopping and everyday life, this was not my point when i started this whole thing. honestly i do not write this to entertain anybody, i write this for me, or at least that was the idea. i wanted to look back and remember these past months, but when reading what i've written, i hardly remember any of those days.


DELETED


this is the event that made me start this blog. this is what i wanted to write about. but i just couldn't bring myself to do it. until today. and it feels strange writing this, a bit uncomfortable. nobody i know irl knows about this blog, i'd like to keep it that way.


adios

Thursday, October 9, 2008

?

blogger, youtube, skype, msn, twitter, facebook, myspace... where did real life go?




I'M ON TWITTER - go stalk!

Thursday, October 2, 2008

not really bored, just lazy

what to write, what to write...
biking in the rain is not pleasant at all it turns out. who knew?

one week from now we will have a one week break from school which is much needed, i have so much catching up to do on course work - it is not even funny.

and what's up with this financial mess the world has gotten itself into, seriously!



need more time. much more time. like an extra day in each week. that would be nice.

Saturday, September 27, 2008

what i hate


these... cancer cells. cancer cells dividing to be correct. i hate that. with all my heart.

Thursday, September 25, 2008

should be studying

sitting at uni, 45 minutes until my next class starts... so why not do a blog.

if i had a webcam i would have shown you, dear reader(s), my lovely university, maybe i should just google something to insert....

hm, this is the best i could do... it's a graphic image it seems, but you get the idea i guess!


anyhow, my little trip back home and the birthday party i attended reminded me how quickly people change... my old friends and i seem to have grown in two very different directions, if that makes any sense? we have basically nothing in common any more, all we could really talk about was 'the good old days', and trust me, that was not a big enough topic to keep the conversation going all night - thank god for white rum!

Saturday, September 20, 2008

semi-sick

stupid fall has gone and given me a cold :(
(no, not stupid.. this is my favourite time of year!)

anyhow, i have gone back to my home town to attend a b'day party of an old friend - that should be interesting since i haven't really 'hung' with that crowd for more than a year. also i need to visit the local h&m in my quest for a cool hat.. will i ever succeed?

oh, and somehow i ended up being featured for this trendspotting tuesday thing of youtube.. that was pretty surreal, but hey strange things happen in this world everyday.

also i have been recommended heart of darkness by a few different people lately - i'll see if can get the time to read it within the next month or so... i haven't had time to open a book, which wasn't study-related for about a month now-- i'm really letting myself down on that point!


i am a geek.
i like short blog entries and coffee.
i'm starting to understand american politics - scary.
got a black moleskine 2009 diary/calender :D

Tuesday, September 9, 2008

...deep and profound :P

...i've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror and bending over backwards just to try and see it clearer...

god, i'm afraid i just made the biggest mistake of my life... in a moment of boredom i signed up for boxing-exercise - what a stupid, stupid idea! my entire body hurts so bad... oh noes....!

paypal account seems to be out of order... how annoying!

Saturday, September 6, 2008

tired

work today and tomorrow and a ton of studying to do... feel behind already. one good thing happened, instead of the SA studies which i wasn't particularly looking forward too, i was offered a course in english history: punk rock and margaret thatcher - how cool is that! yay!

Thursday, September 4, 2008

nyt skab

first day of school tomorrow.
have to be at my first lecture in less than 7 hrs.
one of my courses got cancelled, which means that i need to study South African literature/history for a semester.

best day this month so far.... haha it's only the 3rd!

Sunday, August 31, 2008

summer's gone, days spent in the grass and sun...

last day of summer.










when possible, i read books in their original language. my experience is that things tend to get lost in translation.

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

ramblings

today i finished John Green's book, looking for Alaska.
it basically tok me less than 24 hours to get through it which i guess is a good thing, for its genre i must say that it is good, however i had kind of an empty feeling after having finished it, as if something is missing - i don't know what.
however it did inspire me to purchase a used copy of Famous Last Words: The Ultimate Collection of Finales and Farewells, that should be interesting.

talking about reading, i also have a ****load of studying to do for my postcolonial studies course which starts in less than a week, however, since it is a history course it should be fairly interesting and easy to get through.

this weekend is gonna be pretty much fully booked for me, i've taken a lot of extra shift at work (i have ordered a new fancy laptop which sadly needs to be paid for) plus i have to go and visit my family as well. busy me!

oh my, what a long entry....


i better end this now.

Monday, August 25, 2008

nah...

better.
content.
idealistic.
optimistic.
semiinspired.

still forgetful though.


watched the band's visit the other day; should you have the choice between the dark knight and this film don't choose batman.

Sunday, August 24, 2008

uninspired.
egocentric.
forgetful.

new watch

i am now the very proud owner of this ultra cool 80s digital watch - yay!



oh, and i just spent about a million on books for this semester... apparently 'the american political system' is an extremely expensive course to attend when it comes to books :'(

that's all really...

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

all the books...

my oh my what a dilemma!
have an acutal copy of looking for alaska in my hand right now. should really get to reading it. however i'm stil stuck in chapter two or three of the great gatsby which i should finish first. anywho, what i really want to start reading is this one:
yeah!

Thursday, August 14, 2008

problem fixed?

***excitement***

i have officially uploaded/posted my first videos on to the tube... (strange feeling)!

slice of life:
the other day i needed to remind myself that i had to go to the post office later on - as a reminder i wanted to write 'post' on my left hand... however, i unintendedly ended up with the word 'pot' instead.


oh, a picture....


leaving now, have a party to attend!

Wednesday, July 2, 2008

ahem!

oh yes indeed, that was hindi you saw in my last post...

well, i've started full time work for the summer and so far i am absolutely loving it [...]

also, i've bought myself a new camera, which means that i am now able to take pictures and make videos - hooray!

................well allright then, i will insert a nice little picture here:

how cool is that...?

Monday, June 23, 2008

bonus info

and by the way, the pulp album has not arrived yet... bohoo

coolness can be bought

'first day of my life' by bright eyes has been playing on repeat all day long (and made me cry once), fabulous dresses bought on ebay (new obsession) have arrived, five bananas and a litre of milk have been purchased from the supermarket across the street AND tomorrow is the day of my final exam - yeiks!

thinking that blog layout needs to be changed- too dark and winter-ish.... thinking that new camera must be bought so pictures and videos can be uploaded.... thinking that i will appreciate this blog in 10-15 years.... thinking that i must insert masterpiece here:


this is a picture illustrating the weather outside at the moment... i believe it is called summer?!

i will be going now, will be facing my worst fear tomorrow... must prepare!


out she went

yay!

soooo, ten page essay about freedom and race can now be considered done! what a relief, at first i really did not think that i was gonna make it, now it is just to hand it in tomorrow and enjoy a sunny and hopefully super-warm weekend.
uh, i found the pulp album, which i have been looking for for ages, online yesterday... so now i am waiting in excitement, at the same time i accidentally bought some clothes online as -really gotta stop that though, becoming a very, very bad habit!
so, i wanna travel, now! i've been considering amsterdam actually, (not for the legal drugs but for the canals), seriously though, i need to get away from here... a short trip would do really, no demands of caribbean islands or the bahamas from me, even london would do! or malmö! my last exam is on the 23rd and then i need to work for a while... and then i wanna go... away.... far far.... away! maybe just a cheap vacation to somewhere sunny.

i do enjoy having a secret and superficial blog.

secretly superficial.

superficially secret.


enjoy!

Too much red wine?

Hell no! so I've been having a great day so far, I'm ahead (or at least not behind) in most of my classes and feel really well prepared for a change - the best feeling ever.... however something evil is lurking in a very near future, or two evils actually!
evil no. 1: need to to a 5 min oral presentation for my 'oral proficiency' (spelled right??), no subject is being forced upon me so I can choose pretty much whatever for this presentation but i really hate doing it!!! And if i don't do a presentation it means that the class is failed... and that would be a waste! so i need to get started on the preparations for this... or at least find a subject that i know something about.
evil no. 2: oral exam in British literature AND history.... this one is definitely the worst one! don't get me wrong i love the class but just the thought of this exam gives me the creeps. thing is we have 2 different teachers, one for the literature part and one for the history part (apparently no funds for 2 separate classes, that's uni of cph for you alright...) the guy who teaches us the history part of the course is super cool and really knows how to communicate with the students and an oral exam with him would be great... but the one teaching the lit part is so unlike him! yes he knows his stuff and no doubt that he is very qualified for his job... it just seems that he has been in the academic world for way too long and somewhere along the way started taking himself WAY so serious! SO thing is the university can only afford that one of these teachers is present during our oral exam, and we will not know which one before hand! and that is just mean! right?
pheeww, so i got that off of my chest.... what a relief!
i just ordered the first 2 seasons of 'sex and the city' online (the other four are on my shelf already), i feel a marathon approaching, it's gonna be great... and the movie is coming out soon as well!
SO all in all a really great day except from the two evils... I've been shopping, studying, baking, relaxing AND blogging. maybe it's some sort of good karma.... what good deeds can i have done to deserve this... BUT hey maybe it's just the whole 'winter is gone' thing that just makes you feel super good? summer is coming soon and i cannot wait :-)

ending this now..... happy, happy, happy!

.............well,

wow found out how to change the colour on this thing.... clever me!

random stuff AND easter!

.......so i go a new neighbour and seriously, that is like the best thing that has happened ever! before this super noisy crack head was staying next door; he was playing nothing but the most awful techno-crappy music one could ever imagine.... and at all times of the day from 7am until late, late night! HE WAS HORRIBLE! AND NOW HE IS GONE..... YAY!!! celebrating all over the place right now....!
So, easter is coming up- fantastic! i am not going back to school until the 24th this month, need to study a bit thought but i guess i can live with that... but i can just stay at home and do absolutely nothing at all?? no... obligations!!! have tons of people that i need to catch up with/go see so i will be busy as hell, and then there is work on top of that.
a great thing happened at work today actually... or well not actually AT work but i got a niiice e.mail from my boss, confirming that i can start doing some day shifts instead of ruining every friday night with a shift, which is really great... now i can actually enjoy my weekends - what a luxury!
WHO THE HELL INVENTED THE INSERT BUTTON??? IT MAKES NO SENSE, WHO ON EARTH USE THIS KEY??? I'LL BET THAT THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO IS NOT ANNOYED BY THAT STUPID KEY! this one definitely goes under the category - 'things that should not exist and never have been invented'..........!

goodnight!

...online shopping?

waiting, waiting, waiting for some clothes i ordered online... actually I think I'll have to send it all back, it seemed pretty nice when I looked at it online, but somehow I have the feeling that i will be super disappointed when I receive it! But we will see... maybe it'll turn out great!
One thing I love to buy online though is MUSIC, there is no better feeling than coming home from a long day and when opening the door there's this little square package lying in the hallway just waiting to be opened.... and heard! I tend to forget what specific Cd's I have ordered so it is like a present for myself, how GREAT is that??? I just got Oasis' 'Definitely Maybe' two days ago and it is absolutely fantastic, at the moment I'm looking for the Pulp album 'Different Class' which was for some unknown reason not available at CD-Wow.com and that really sucks! Yep, brit-pop is having a well deserved renaissance on my stereo and I've been missin it sooo much. Used to be a big Blur fan when I was a teenager...
Anyhow, so this clothes I ordered online from American Apparel is supposed to be arriving today, but it looks like I'll have to wait another day for it (boohoo), so guess I'll never buy clothes online again. That is unless it turns out to be super successful and the best clothes ever, but somehow I doubt it... Hopefully I can return it.... gulp!

I've just been cleaning my bathroom and god how I hate doing that... Seriously if I had the money I would pay somebody to do it!!! EEEEEK! AND I also just finished my reading for tomorrow something that came completely uexpected, really two days ago I made a deal with myself that it was ok not to read this text... I am amazed by my own self diciplin.

UUUUH.... EDIT, EDIT, EDIT.... ups- guy just rang my door bell and delivers American Apparel package..... exiting!!! will open straight away..... a catalogue.... old school green running shorts.... cooool navy dress.... a red hooded sweat shirt which I might return.... see pictures below....need to go and try this on!!!

2nd day...

Sooo, still in denial about this whole blogging thing... What to do??? I need to get a camera though so I an post some pictures and stufffffff.... otherwise this is gonna end up as a pretty boring page, but who cares? Anyhow, I need to prepare some super notes for my two history classes since I've read around 1000000 pages or so (and my memory is not the best) - EXCELLENT way to spend a thursday afternoon! Lately I have been kind of distracted by something... One Tree Hill!!! I've become addicted, and seriously it's not even a good show, still everytime I'm supposed to be studying or doing anything else really, I find myself watcing this kind of crappy show... Grrrrrrrreat! That's really something to be proud of, huh? But not today, today I'm gonna be the super-student... the super-nerdy super-student actually... starting now.... right now!!!!
