It's a new year!

Sooo, I've been completely overwhelmed by emails over the past two months, people begging (and demanding) that I update my blog.  I do realize that my life is the center of everyone's attention at all times, and my inability to deliver has left my fans greatly disappointed. Eeeehh... this may not be completely true... or have any truth to it at all.... but I'm sure you've all suffered in silence.... ;)

To begin with, I'm back in California, and have been since the beginning of January.  I'm not even gonna attempt to give a detailed update as that probably would require me writing close to a ten page paper.. There are several reasons for it, first of all, I don't wanna stand responsible for anyone o-d-ing on my nonsense to thoughts. Second, I don't write excessive amounts of bla-ha-bla-ha, unless I'm getting graded on it.  I think that's fair enough!;) 

The greatest change that's taken place in my life lately is doubtlessly the introduction of a certain boy, whose presence brightens my every day. 09 has only just begun, but I have a good feeling about this year and I'm excited see what else it has to offer.

So Long!

Hello Sweden!

Since I arrived on thursday I've:

° dinnered at McDonald's, Enkoping, with daddy

° struggled with my jetlag (always have a great strategy to beat it, haven't found one that works yet though))

° dinnered at Ceder's restaurant with mommy and micke

° had Tindra chocolate and rom flavored  glogg (different, but nevertheless very good)

° walked around in DT Vasteras at an hour when most people enjoy a good night's sleep

° forced Uffe to wake up and entertain me at 5.30 am on a Saturday, haha!

It was a very long flight, and the 8.5 hours I spent in Amsterdam didn't contribut to making the whole thing less painful, but I finally made it here and it feels great! Nice to spend some quality time with my family and catch up with friends I haven't seen in a long time. It's cold but no snow so far. I'm hoping for a white christmas, but I have yet to see if that'll happen. My fingers are crossed! However, my planned trip to Vilhelmina will surely satisfy my snow-urge, so excited! Cannot wait to see my sister! She'll get here on the 23rd, but I've phoned with her quite a lot since I got home. 

So far so good! Later!

Air, Amsterdam, and nut!

I am the queen of procrastination, actually did my laundry, STARTED packing, and cleaned my apartment this morning. Did finish most things on my agenda though, will be interesting to unpack and see what necessities I forgot to bring, hehe, well, I'll only be gone for two weeks so I'll be fine.. I'm actually writing from heaven (literally) right now, haha, the plane took off about two hours ago. It was supposed to take off early (only 10 minutes, but still), ended up more than an hour delayed instead due to some sort of technical problems..hmmm... Hopefully they figured it out, since I'm in the air now I mean...

On Monday I spent some quality time with my dear coworker, and friend, Lina. We went on a hair-searching metro-road trip, great success! Then we got cheated on our card-discount at Ralph's, that's right! Cannot trust anyone these days, haha! In some strange way Lina's hair grew about 14 inches that night, my hand got scissor-stabbed, and I probably gained about 10 pretzel-pounds, hehe, it was a great night! Oh, I almost forgot!! We met a humanized myrschloook! Or maybe it was a myrschloookized human... Either way, it was pretty cool!

What else, oh yeah, my finals are over and it feels great! It's been a long semester but I think I've done well, hope so... think so... yeah... guess I'll find out soon enough..

So I arrived to Amsterdam! Just got back from a three hour city-trip, it was perfect as I had 8 hours to kill before my next flight. Amsterdam is beautiful! I loved the architecture and all the little cute stores around town square. I've been awake for 24 hours now, my eyes are burning...

Armen i vinkel horrni, snart ses vi! Puss!

One more thing...

In order to ease up some expectation-based pressure: I will most likely arrive as the palest human being within the Swedish (well, probably Scandinavian... or maybe even European....) boarders. So, the answer is NO, I'm not tanned.... not even a little bit! I have not been sunbathing at all this year (except for like 2 times in june), and I'm not planning on starting now... 

Nice to have that established and out in the open! ;)

Final(ly) Week!

Here I go again, last week of the semester... exhausting as always, but nothing can beat the feeling of turning in that nasty bluebook! Was up pretty much all night last night studying, managed to squeeze in 2.5 hours of sleep before the alarm went off, sweet..... oohhh......

I think I did pretty good though, so hopefully it was all worth it! It's now 12.52 pm and I don't have anything scheduled for the rest of the day. I may go for a walk down to the beach and back, weather is beautiful!  Even though I'm very much against the death penalty, coming from Sweden, I do consider wasting a sunny day a capital crime.  

Speaking of which (Sweden, not the latter;), I'm coming home for 2 weeks over xmas and new year's.. Arriving on the 18th and leaving on january 3rd. Rumor has it that Looptroop will be performing on the 26th, so that's definitely something I'd like to check out! Then I'm off to Vilhelmina on the 28th to visit my sister, but don't you worry guys, I know what you are all thinking; will she be in V-as on New Year's eve? The answer is YES, haha, like anyone would care! Hahaha! 

Well, I'm gonna engage in some form of activity now or I'll fall asleep...

Cheers! 

And so it's done...

I just submitted my UC application.... Have mixed feelings about it, both relieved to have it over with but at the same time I'm scared to death that I screwed up on some essential information... I looked it over probably a hundred times.. but still... Shit, feel like throwing up...

I decided to apply to UCLA and UC Berkeley, this means that I skipped UC Davis, a school I was determined to include, in the last minute.  Well, I can always add it later if I change my mind... Ok, have to try to focus on something else now... for example my sociology research paper, I'm more in the mood for a  beer (or 20), but I don't think that would lead to anything good really, except for a terrible headache tomorrow... which is actually pretty bad so; no.. Sociology it is! 

I might as well post a short update in general while I'm at it:

Since my last post I've:

~Been wining with Anna in Venice

~Attended Meleja's 2nd B-day party

~Discovered Jason Mraz (late, I know)

~Celebrated Thanksgiving in Brentwood with Lina and her "Family"

~Been made fun of, by Lina because of my Jason Mraz fetish 

~Sipped Margaritas at Baja Cantina with Filippa

~Been complaining about life in general

~Bathed a lot (this Californian winter is killing me) 

~Studied, worked, and played with Meleja

I think that pretty much covers it all....

Cheers!

Arets roligaste artikel!!!

Man satte sig på barn

Polisen: Ett mycket märkligt beteende

En medelålders man i Borås söks av polisen efter att han satt sig på två elvaåringa pojkars magar.

– Mannen bad om hjälp med att hitta sina vantar. Efter en stund tryckte han ner dem mot marken och satte sig på deras magar, säger Björ Blixter, presstalesman, polisen Västra Götaland.
Det var strax efter lunch som polisen larmades om att två pojkar utsatts för ofredande av en medelålders man i Borås. Polisen har ingen förklaring till mannens agernade och vet inte heller vad mannen ville få ut av situationen.
– Det är ett mycket märkligt beteende. Men pojkarnas föräldrar har inte velat polisanmäla händelsen, säger Björ Blixter.
Polisen har trots det valt att spara mannens signalement i fall han skulle dyka upp i senare sammanhang.
– Han var lång cirka 190 centimeter och pojkarna blev mycket skrämda av honom. Men eftersom anmälan inte kom in förrän 40 minuter efter händelsen hade han försvunnit när vi kom dit, säger Björ Blixter.
