Reunion

My friend Lily just came back to Norway yesterday, after being in Ohio for a year. I'm hoping on seeing her as soon as possible. Gotta say I'm psyched. I've been to the US, but I honestly can't imagine what it would be like to live there. For the record, Lily is the one I'll be moving with. To New Jersey, that is. She's a musician too, and we're thinking that hell, maybe we'll get lucky and break through while we're there for college. And I don't want to hear your shit about how that's never going to happen. I've had enough discouragement already.

Lily is a pianist and a singer, I'm a guitarist and a singer. Personally I think it's a great combo. Although I'd rather be playing rock, I like doing ballads as well, and who says I can't do both? Maybe I'll find a band over there. I can't find any here, that's for sure. It seems like every band in my area needs a drummer. And if they do need a guitarist, they need a fucking super shredder, and they play death metal. Which isn't really my style. I found a band who played music that I actually like, but I never heard back from them, and they were even the ones asking if I were interested... Geez. Some people.

I'm hoping I'll get to see her as early as today. I still don't have school, so that'd be just perfect. I'm just sitting around all day anyway. I'm actually kinda nervous about what to wear when I meet her, because she's into fashion, and I'd like to not look like a fool walking beside her. I guess I'll just wear my killer heels. Even though I always twist my ankle wearing them. You guys just be happy you don't have to wear that shit.

My sleep pattern is all over the place lately. I can sleep anytime. Anytime at all. Except at night. It's incredibly frustrating, and I can't seem to be able to do anything about it, either. I read somewhere that in order to reset your sleep pattern you'd have to fast for 20 hours or something, and the time you ate again would be what your body thought of as "morning". Not sure if this would work. But I haven't eaten in 20 hours, actually. I ate breakfast at 9 and slept from 12 'till 2am. Wait, it's 6am now. That would mean I haven't eaten in 21 hours. I think. Not sure. Brain isn't functioning properly.

Oh, and I've noticed I have one or more readers from Russia who checks in quite often but never comments. I wonder who they are.

Here's a song for you because I was listening to it.



Super interesting fact of today: In Albania, nodding your head means "no" and shaking your head means "yes".

I don't even

My mom just slapped me in the face with a cheese.

Other than that - weather's still nice, but not quite as warm, which suits me just fine. I think we're going to the beach later. Right now I'm watching Cartoon Network with my brother, "Tom and Jerry kids". Why. They even dubbed it to Norwegian.

Why.

Other than that, I'm still having a whole lot of trouble sleeping. I can't remember the last time I slept at night. I usually just have naps randomly throughout the day. Which, of course, is a bad idea, but even if I don't have them I can't sleep at night.

Spotted a cat earlier this morning. It meowed at me, so I went outside to it and petted it for ages. Turns out it was shedding like crazy and needed me to scratch/pet it off. Of course I'd just applied sunscreen before going outside, so I looked like a gorilla afterwards. I still have cat all over me. I even inhaled a hair.

I'm still playing a lot of Sims. In the family I'm currently playing, both the parents died while their kid was still a teen.

Was totally sad, man. Seriously. I felt sad about it. But I won't rant about Sims here. I should probably make my own blog just for ranting about Sims. Yeah. I should do that.

Adios.

Achievement unlocked:

- Eat 4 pounds of chocolate in 10 days.


So, I haven't been blogging much lately. Sorry about that. It's because I haven't been doing much lately. See, on Thursday the teachers of our school went on strike. On a strike. Urk. You get my point.
(damn you, Norwegian brain!)
So I haven't been to school since, and I also very unfortunatly lost my math exam because of this. I admit I have been swimming in my own tears these past few days.

While we're on the subject of swimming, the weather is super-fucking-nice lately. I seriously can't believe it. I know that it's summer time and it is to be expected, but I was expecting it to happen gradually. Which was not the case over here. One day it was randomly snowing, and it was 5°C (that's 41°F), which shouldn't at all be happening in the first place since water freezes at 0°C (that's 32°F. God, Fahrenheit is lame.) Then the next three days or so rain was just pouring down all over the place, and it was windy as fuck. We even had a storm in there somehere. Then the day after...

KA-FUCKING-BOOM

30°C. 86°F. I mean what the hell. How does that even happen. How is that even possible. It's been around 20°C-30°C (68°F-86°F) now the past week or so. Mom had to take me emergency shopping because I didn't have any clothes skimpy enough to survive in this scorching hot weather. Wtf, Norway. Wtf. You're supposed to be ice cold, with polar bears walking the streets and such.

Can't complain, though. This is what we go on holidays for.
(I will never ever write about degrees again in my life. And if I do, you'll just have to convert them yourself.)

Mom wants me to go to the beach with her and my brother tomorrow, which would be great if I didn't have this ugly-ass tattoo on my ankle that she doesn't know about. I guess I'll be wearing socks and converse. Won't be THAT suspicious.

Who am I kidding. Who the fuck wears converse to the beach. People walk barefoot on the beach. I'll just tell her that I have a wound or something that I don't wanna get stuff in. Luckily my psychiatrist is coming over on tuesday, I think, so I can tell her. I feel like I'm gonna need some backing up when I do, because let's face it - letting a guy tattoo you just because he has the equipment isn't really a super great idea. I honestly do deserve all the shit she's gonna give me for it. But that doesn't mean I want it.

I hope mom doesn't read my blog.

Super interesting fact of tonight: Prosopagnosia refers to the inability to identify people by their faces. In severe cases of prosopagnosia a person may not be able to identify themselves in a mirror.

The Royal Family

Today I saw the King of Norway. In person. I also saw the rest of the Royal Family. But not so close up. I stood maybe 10 feet away from the king as he walked by. He's really awesome. He looks like this:


Don't know why, but it felt really awesome. Also it was scorching hot today. I swear to god there wasn't much difference from Florida at this time of year, except it's less humid here.

... Which means, of course

Florida - 0 - 1 - Norway

That's about it, because I'm really tired. I didn't sleep last night. Did I mention my sleep-every-other-day-pattern? I hope I did. In case not, I did now.

I have a math exam on Friday. I'll know around midnight if the teachers will go on a strike or not. Hopefully they will, because then I won't have to have that stupid math exam at all and it won't be my fault. Which would be completely fine by me because then I'd probably also pass maths. Which would be a very, very good thing.

Interesting fact of-- lol jk, you already got one today and I'm really tired. Tatah.

Today I shall wear sunscreen!

And shorts! Oh dear, oh dear.

Many of you may just not comprehend how big a sensation this is for us Norwegians. I'm not even lying when I say that some years we have only about two weeks of sunscreen-and-shorts-worthy weather. I am thrilled. I even have a sunburn on my nose. The fact that this is a happy thing for me should explain a thing or two.

It's 7am and I haven't slept. I'm developing a pattern of a kind. A weird one, at that. At the time I'm only sleeping every other night, and it's actually working for me somehow. Surely this can't be healthy?

Allow me to include a picture of myself and my sunscreen. I would also have included my freshly-shaved, sunscreen-slathered legs, but I'm just not that flexible.



I now realize that bloggers are supposed to use nice pictures of themself looking not like a maniac decent. Well, fuck. Can't say I give a shit, because the weather is freaking awesome and I get to wear shorts and show off my hideous basement tattoo. And I didn't sleep tonight, meaning I could get up early and shower and shave my legs and yay. I'm usually not able to shower in the mornings because I spend eternities in there (I seriously don't even know why myself, must be a glitch in the matrix), and my hair takes 3-6 hours to dry. Yes, it takes six hours in the winter. Yay thick, curly hair!

Well, I suppose I should go drink coffee or something now. I don't know what people do in the mornings. I usually tend to throw on some clothes, brush my teeth and bolt out the door.

The times I actually manage to get up in time for school, that is.

Mentality, why must you do this to me. Why.

I've also taken up the same project as you, my dear reader. You know who you are. I don't know your name. I'm just going to dump your blog here so people get the point. Do tell if you are in any way offended by this.

http://alifetimeofphotos.blogspot.com/  <- the blog

I've taken three pictures. So far so good. Wonder how long I can keep up with this. Wonder if I should use a new DailyBooth account to do this instead.


Super interesting fact of the morning: Japanese research has concluded that moderate drinking can boost IQ levels.

Oh bitch hell no

A girl posted an Annoying Facebook Girl meme to my facebook wall.
Can't help but wondering if I am, in fact, one.
Thinking of just deleting my facebook for this.

And for Lewis:

Yes, the Mythbusters managed to fold a piece of paper 11 times. But they used a piece of paper the size of a fucking football field, and also a steamroller and a forklift.)

Well, that's unusual

I just got home from school. When I walked out of the bus and crossed the street, the man in the car that stopped for me called to me and said

"Hey, are you crossing here?"

And well, I was, so I told him yes. He held something out the window and asked me if I could come closer to the car (creepy, yes, but there were like a million other people there, so what could happen?). Then he handed me what he was holding. It was a CD. "Papa Slide - What Are We Livin' For". He told me to pass it on to everyone else I knew who played guitar, and he told me to learn to play slide. Then he told me that I had to cross the street, which I had completely forgotten about because hey, I got pretty puzzled.

Not sure if weird or genius way of promoting your music.



Sorry for weird and too bright picture. It's super sunny today. And really really hot! I wasn't prepared for it at all and ended up wearing too many clothes when I thought I was really wearing too little.

Andddd the guy I was dating not too long ago, who dumped me because he didn't want a relationship, is now in a relationship.
Lol ok, thanks.

Also my cell phone is being a bitch lately and refuses to charge from time to time. It also will not always send or recieve text messages, and if I send someone a picture it will take anywhere between two weeks and two months before the other part recieves it.

I'm really tired right now. Thank god it's getting semi-late. It's 4:30pm. I didn't sleep at all last night, and I fell asleep on the bus on my way home which was pretty awkward. I hate sleeping in public, especially when I wake up and find that my mouth is wide open or something.

Super interesting fact of today: Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

Summary of the past days

FRIDAY
Ate a fuckload of chocolate. Played The Sims 3 all day. Pretended to study for my math exam on monday.
Thought I had a lot of time on my hands, so I didn't have to start 'till tomorrow.

SATURDAY
Ate a fuckload of chocolate. Played The Sims 3 all day. Opened my math book and read the first page. Thought I had a lot of time on my hands, so I didn't have to start 'till tomorrow. Decided to uninstall The Sims 3 so it wouldn't distract me, but downloaded the file again so I could install it again soon.

(2am: installed The Sims 3 and a new expansion pack. Played it until 7am.)

SUNDAY
Ate a fuckload of chocolate. Realized the exam is tomorrow and I haven't done shit. Proceeded to read three pages in my math book. Realized I'd forgotten everything in there and I had very little time to learn 200 pages of math. Found the math exam from last year, opened it, looked at the very first task. Cried my eyes out because I didn't understand shit of it. Proceeded to play The Sims 3 and cry.

Posted my worries on Facebook. Found out that my exam is on Friday.

Exploded with joy.

Proceeded to celebrate with The Sims 3 and chocolate.


Super interesting fact of tonight: No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times.

May 17th

So today is the Norwegian Constitution day. (you can read about it here)
I was supposed to hang out with two friends of mine in the city around 2pm. Got a text around 12 saying that they weren't able to come after all. Lol, fuckers.

I thought I was gonna be forever alone all day, but then I found someone else to be with. I had a good time, even though walking in three-inch heels is enough to ruin anyone's day. Also it was rather cold. But it doesn't matter, because I had a good day. Here's a picture of me and Daniel.

(click to enlarge)

(Yes, he always looks like a serial killer in pictures.)

In town we just walked around, looking at all the random stuff they were selling in the booths. SO. MANY. BOOTHS. All of them sold pretty much the same stuff, though. T-shirts, zippo lighters, candy. Things that make noise. That kinda stuff.

There were also a lot of fun fairs spread all over the place. We didn't take any rides (because the guy I was with is a pussy and it's not fun to go alone), but we played some games. Including the wheel of fortune.

Result:

































Sorry to ruin anyone's impressions that I don't look like a pig when I'm smiling.

Well, that pretty much sums up the day. Didn't eat any traditional food or walk in any parades. Didn't eat ice cream or hotdogs, although I guess that would go under traditional food. I forgot my flag at home, though, so that kinda sucked. Although I suppose it was all for the best, since it would've been a pain to carry it around along with THAT HUGE-ASS PIECE OF MOTHERFUCKING CHOCOLATE.

That is all. Have a great evening.

Super interesting fact of today: Eating eight strawberries will provide you with more vitamin C than an orange.

Wtf, brain

I was so sure I wanted to dye my hair red, and I've thought about it for a long time. But now I'm getting all nervous about it all of a sudden. Wtf.

My stepfather brought all my painting stuff from the other house. I was never a good painter, but I decided to try again. I'm using oil paint, so it's really difficult and the layers take a long time to dry. I'm experimenting with stroke patterns. Right now I'm trying to paint a portrait. I have a problem painting eyes (drawing them is easy, but...), so I decided to kind of paint the entire eyeball first, then add eyelids. So I get the proportions right and stuff. The result is a really freaking scary half-finished painting that's always staring at me. I'd better finish this up as soon as possible.

I love the smell of turpentine. Reminds me of mango.

Other than that I've been doing some stalking, and found out that Dakota Rose is editing her photos and videos, and does in fact not look anything like that at all. Ego boost. I still love the way she does her makeup, though, and I've started doing something similar.
I kinda feel bad for her. Since she's been fooling everyone with her editing, she's getting a whole lot of hate. She kind of had it coming though, telling so many lies.

You can read more about the true Dakota Rose here. It is albeit not a very neutral article.

Tuesday, May 15, 2012

I have decided

To dye my hair dark red, like I've always wanted. I have also decided that it will look good. Period.
(lol funny. Because it's red, right... no?)

I also want to buy some new clothes. I want a jumpsuit. I've always wanted a jumpsuit. Like this.


Or even better, this.


I also want new skirts. And shirts. And jeans, because I have none. And I also want Dakota Rose's face. And body. And life. Gosh, she is wonderful. I heard she had a nose job, though, so I don't feel -as- ugly.


Nevermind. I do.

Ugh.

I know the coolest people

Man. I just found this. I know these people. Bandana guy has even touched my boob.





I have the coolest friends. Swagswagswagswagswag.

Super interesting fact of today: When hippos get upset, their sweat turns red. And you probably already know that hippo milk is pink.

I took my lip rings out. I need you guys to tell me if I should keep it that way or put them back in.

Excuse my weird-lookingness. Oh, and I need answers quick, in case it heals!

To be truthful

I don't really feel like blogging lately. I also don't have much to blog about. I haven't been feeling so well.
(I wanted to add "lately" to each of those statements, but it would've looked dumb.)
And I'm still on my period. This may or may not be related to my less than fantastic mood. I'll probably die soon or something.

I'll be back sometime, though. In less than a week. Promise.

What the hell, uterus

I've had my period for 15 days now. It doesn't show signs of stopping.
(And I've brought some corn for popping, har-de-dar... no?)

In case I die, I want to thank you all for reading my blog. That is all.

Pokémonium

I've told most of my four regular readers about this already. I know. I know. But there is this game, and it's totally awesome, and it's called


POKÉMONIUM
(insert dramatic music here)

Anyway, it's a really awesome game, and everyone should play it. Not only because it's awesome, but because it's in beta and they need people to help them find bugs so they can fix them and stuff.
(I expect everyone to have stopped reading at this point.)
Also I need someone to play with, because my Pokébuddy Luke isn't online 24/7 like me. Loser.

Oh, and. About the game itself. You've probably played the regular Pokémon games for Gameboy and DS. Gold, sapphire, whatever. Those games. You know what I'm talking about. Pokémonium is just like those.

In Pokémonium, you can play in Johto, Kanto, Sinnoh AND Hoenn! And here comes the best part...

IT'S A FUCKING MULTIPLAYER GAME
(more dramatic music)

So as you can clearly understand, this game is awesome. And everyone should play it. It's not that I don't enjoy playing with you, Luke. But it's always cool to have more than one friend. 

I just realized that the yellow and red is going to look awful on my blog layout. Oh well. Pokémon colors are Pokémon colors.
(EDIT: It did look awful. I had to change it and stuff.)
Anyway, if you decide you want to try out the game, click this link. My in-game username is Chuukai


Interesting fact of today: When you blush, the lining of your stomach also turns red.

Am I the only one wondering how they find out this kinda stuff?

Monday, May 7, 2012

Dear readers.

Since I now have people who actually read my blog, I'd like to know what you like reading about and what you don't like reading about. Also are there other things you'd like me to add? I mean, we all know people who read blogs like pictures. But I don't know what kind of pictures I'd blog.



Seriously though, please tell me what to do here. I'm also kinda running out of ideas here. I was thinking this blog-about-your-life thing would be pretty easy and interesting. I guess not when all you do is sit at home and watch MLP and look at funny pictures on the interwebs.

So, besides that I got to sleep in today. We were originally throwing a birthday party for my stepfather, but then he and my brother started barfing all over the place. And you know how when that happens you're just waiting to barf yourself, right? It's awful. I feel sick. All. The. Time. Wish I could just be sick and get it over with.
(Also then I wouldn't have to go to school which would be good because I forgot to practice for piano class.)
(Also it's 3:30am and I have to get up at 7:00 and gee I really do feel sick wtf.)
(Then again I've been practicing like a god for guitar class)
(And we have two tests this week so I should probably fetch my books so I can study or something (Lol as if) since the first test is on Tuesday.)

Oh oh and also I've been having unexpected amounts of money lately. I just assumed my bank had run dry so I never check anymore, and then when I did check I had quite a lot. And by that I mean about 150 bucks. But I spent 70 of them on new guitar strings. But I still have some left. And by "some" I mean an assload. I'm used to having the odd 30-40 bucks a couple times a month. So I was thinking I'd buy a nice present for my friend's daughter. She's having her first birthday on the 19th. Also I was thinking I myself would indulge in these babies:



But they cost 45 bucks and they're hand made and I could probably do it better myself and shipping probably costs more than the headphones themselves. The actual headphones seem to be of good quality though, and I need some new ones. All I have now is earbuds for iPod, and one of them looks like a cat ate it, digested it half-way, then decided to barf it back up. In other words, only one of them works. And it sucks. And these headphones are pretty cool. Someone please tell me to buy them. I need someone to tell me it's okay to buy them because I really want them and I have a lot of money that I need to spend before I spend it on stupid things.

TELL ME TO BUY THE HEADPHONES.


Interesting fact of tonight: There are some ice creams that are 75% air.

Why.

Why, why, why.

Why do I always get this impulse to cut my hair in the middle of the night.

Why am I stupid enough to follow that impulse.

Why do I own a pair of professional hair scissors.

Why can't I just go to the hairdresser like a normal person.


Luckily I'm not half bad at cutting my hair.
(Loads of practice ohlol)

It could've been lots worse.




Interesting fact of tonight: Hitler only had one testicle.

Awesometastic

This is a word that can be used to describe what clouds look like with the moon behind them when it like illuminates the edges of the... no? You don't know what I mean? I wish I had a camera. I'll find something similar on google.


(Source)
Kinda like that. Except it's 1am and absolutely no light out at all. It was really cool, I swear. Although this is a tad more beautiful.

It was more like this.


(Source)
But still darker. Anyway, it was awesome. And we have a full moon. They said on the news today that the moon would appear a lot bigger now because reasons, but it doesn't look different to me.

Also I downloaded a new Pokémon game. It's pretty much like the regular games for Gameboy and DS, but multiplayer. It's totally neat. It's still in beta and really glitchy, and I feel kinda important to get to be a part of finding and reporting glitches to help make the game better. Even though it's open for everyone. It's called Pokémonium and you can find it here.
My username in-game and in the forums is Cilantria if you want to add me!

Restringed my acoustic!

Which means it will be unplayable for about a week or two. Hurr.

Mom, why did you had to leave the guitar in the winter garden. You know what happens when sunrays hit glass. You know all the walls in that room are made entirely out of glass. You know that that particular room gets sun for about 10 hours daily.You know that  that particular room reaches 50 degrees celsius on a good day. WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE A GUITAR OVERNIGHT IN THAT ROOM. ARE YOU AN IDIOT.

No, she just didn't know the strings would snap. She's a computer engineer. Mom, I am disappoint.

Bought new strings for my electric guitar as well. Feels nice to have backup strings for once. I bought 0.10s this time instead of 0.11s. Hopefully it'll make a difference.

This probably only makes sense to me.

Interesting fact of the day: The water inside of a coconut is identical to human blood plasma. 

Okay.

One of my best friends was like "I'm throwing a pinup-themed coctail party. Do you have any clothes I can borrow?"

Gee, thanks a lot.

Interesting fact of the day: The name Wendy was made up for the book "Peter Pan".

My fingers are bleeding

At least one is. I've been practicing like hell, and I gotta say I'm mighty proud at the results. I'm not at all there yet, but I am getting closer to playing like Gary Moore. I'll be playing this for my guitar exam.




(He stops improvising and starts playing the actual piece around 2:14)

Oh Gary.

I also decided to post one interesting fact every day. And by every day I mean in each blog post.

Interesting fact of the day: An ostrich's eyeball is larger than its brain.
