Books. Again.
Remember I said that I couldn't find something to read and all that jazz? Well I was hovering over the swedish trilogy Millennium by Stieg Larsson a couple of weeks ago and I have to say that my reading frustrations are over. Those are really good books and if you have the time you should read them! They were above any expectations and I'm so glad I decided to read them. The books are in most cases better than the movies and this was one of those times. And then I really like the movies. Anyway, when the books ended I hurried up and switched to another book I'd gotten the same day just because I felt so empty when there was no more. :( That is the hardest about reading; the fact that they end.
And the resolution is that I am a book-geek. :)
The first snow came today, the 5th of december.
Or maybe I shouldn't say the first, we've had some flakes before but according to me they didn't count because they only lasted a night. So I hope this snow is here to stay. I don't know if I've said it yet, but I'm going to learn how to slalom this winter and I'm just waiting for the snow now. I've made up my mind; I want to tumble headfirst down the mountaintop. :)
Love!

Bro's dinner party
I told you I was going to get back to you about Japan and it's decided: Me and Jennie are going to Japan from the first of March to the last and we are going to just travel and see the country. :)
To be honest I'm a bit nervous. I don't want to meet everyone again, teachers and stuff, and suck at japanese. But the truth is though, that I have barely opened a japanese book since I got home. I want to change that now though and as a wise man once said: Practice, practice, practice...
Tonight my family have been invited to my brother for a sort of dinner party and to see his new apartment. I'm looking forward to it and we are soon leaving so I have to change out of my sweatpants now. ;)
Love!

Wonders
I was just sitting here thinking about the celebrity world; Do those people who are world known really know about what the world write and/or draw about them on the internet and as jokes? And then I'm not thinking about bad stuff, not at all, but the funny stuff.
I imagined some of them gathering in front of the computer on a friday night with beer and maybe something stronger and googleing their own names, laughing about the comics or comments made about them. They should.
Like this one:
The girl who made this said that she and her friend calls each other Mrs. Robert Downey Jr and Mrs. Robert Downey Jr as their own intern joke.
Would he laugh? Robert Downey Jr is the real person, it's not any of his characters. Or would he think "Eeeh, that's life as a celebrity", because it kind of is part of the package deal of being an icon: they will be the official base of personality jokes.
And then someone had comment on the picture; "I have not known one single person that wouldn't have sex with Robert Downey Jr, male or female."
Again I wonder what he would do, say or think if he read that. Or if someone came up to him and told him like: "Hey, I know a lot of people who'd want to do you." A stereotypical guy would go: "WOOOOHHOOOOO!" but I wonder what he'd do. :P
And then I saw this one:
HAHAHAHAH! I can't not laugh at this! Again, J.K. Rowling... what would she comment if she read this? Have she read it?? There are so many different HP stuff out there; comics, fanfiction etc. that she's bound to stumble across some of it!

I hope I've made my point: I Want To Know What People Think Sometimes.

Seven days
I gave some thought about giving in to temptation when my friend asked me if I wanted to go with her to Japan for a month. I've all but said yes and this week we are going to make a decision. I really want to go and I don't see why not actually. I miss the sun-land a lot and I keep thinking I should go back there soon. Anyway, I'll get back to you about that.
This tuesday I was working at the theater again. A play about lesbianism and confused sexuality and then a whole different one about hooligans and men and fighting had thrown themselves into one play with two acts but they were still separated in to those two different plays. They wanted to bring those totally different stories together and show them one after another to give the full effect of how far away, yet emotionally close the feelings of being confused in yourself is. It was two really good theaters! I was glad I worked and got to see them.
Wednesday I was on singing lesson and it was my dad's birthday as I wrote last time. I bought him whiskey and chocolate in the end and it was a good present for him. Think he appreciated it. :)
We had the closest part of the family here and it was really nice.
The song lesson went good. Up until the end at least when I just couldn't focus anymore and I just seemed to drop everything. Not intended, at least know that. We sang Colors of the wind, Don't speak, Everyime we touch. Colors of the wind must have drained me; it's a really hard song to sing. For me anyway.
Then on thursday I saw TinTin with a friend and I think it was good. I'm not going to get in to it so much but watch it if you have the time, it was like watching children's movies again and remembering how it was to like them. :D
Yesterday my dad sang at a pub nearby. I went and it was really fun. I was sober so I didn't have the guts to dance but I still had a good time. Most of all it was nice just listening to my dad's band again.
Well, not really seven days but almost right? ;) Today I'm working a couple four hours so I'll have to make sure that I'm not entirely motionless. Don't think I will be but I got to bed late last night and so you'll never know.
Love!

Slowdance
I have a headache and though I really want to read these new books I just bought from Amazone I have to give up. My tired brain is just not allowing it. :(
The books are by Keri Arthur and it's her Dark Angel series. Look it up if you're interested in Australian kind-of-futuristic fantasy with many different kind of creatures, humans and nonhumans in the main theme "life and death". I was surprised at the strong sexual content in the book and if I had been any younger I think I would've died of embarrassment. :P
I give it a 3 out of 5, because it was exciting all the way through but there was some things I think were not explained as well as they could've been and I got the feeling you'd have to have read her previous books to know what she meant sometimes. Even if it's not in the same series... :S
But don't let it scare you, it takes a while but everything falls into place after a while. It's an easy read book, big letters and understandable english, and it's fun to get involved in someone else's messed up life sometimes. :D
Anyway, this saturday I was on a party! My uncle turned 40 and had an open door from 2 - 2 for everyone who know him and wanted to congratulate him. :) My family was there from around 6 and all the night through. In the end we were like 10 people left. We danced and sang and drank and let me just tell you that if we were living anywhere else we would have gotten a warning from the police for loud music and disturbance. ;)
That's it for tonight. My dad's birthday is tomorrow and I have not yet anything to give him. Fortunately from me he is celebrated in the evening because he wakes up at 5:30 - 6 and goes to work at 7 so we wouldn't be able to keep up with him. :P

Rainman turns to...
Halloween here in Sweden isn't really that big of a deal but nonetheless, because of it we did not get into the club saturday night and we stood in line for about an hour. I'll take it from the top:
Friday night and I get a message from my friend saying that she is going to have a little halloween celebration despite it all and asks if I want to come. I say "yes, sure!" and saturday I get going. I'm dressing up as a dead girl in skirt, dirty white top, rubber boots and an umbrella. I rubbed myself in white make up and did some more make up and then I kill people in the rain. *nod nod*
We get dressed and drink and are having fun. Then the four of us takes the bus and went down to the club where the entrance were free for people with approved costumes. But we never made it that far... The line was long and people were cutting and it ended with disappointment for our team. We headed home after that, I took a cab to my brothers' place where I, once again, got sick after drinking. I can't seem to drink anymore without getting sick. It's like I've forgotten how to do it. :(
Anyway, the time before the club fiasco was really fun and I know some pretty cool and interesting people. Me and my friend agreed that we have to do it again soon and go someplace funnier.
That's all for now, I'll write later!
Love!

Passion
I am one of those people that walk in to a bookshop and feel like there was probably something more important that I was supposed to do but I can't remember because look at it! Books on every shelf! Big ones, smaller ones and just books you write in yourself. Even ordinary notebooks gets me smiling and I don't know why or how all of this even happened, I just seem to be crazy in love with books.
I have a lot of books that I haven't read yet. But every time I start I get bored and can't seem to go through with it. Then I want to write instead but when I'm writing I want to read. It's a mess in my head and I'm not happy with it. I have to find a way to finish some of the books I have.
I've probably said it before, I'm currently reading Alice in Wonderland and Through the lookingglass but I've been on that(those) one(s) for a year! I just read it when I really have nothing to do and sometimes I get an urge to read something more or less weird.
I'm also a big fan of the notebooks called Paperblanks. They are also very interested in the old looking and the old making of books and I have a lot of their books. I've written in a few of them and the one I use the most is a calendar that I bought in Japan.
At the moment I'm kind of positive that I will soon purchase one of the newer in their collection (see pic below). When I have space for it I'll put all my books up and take photos of them.
Love!
