Can't sleep.

This song is beautiful. I haven't written anything here in years and I'm sure nobody's ever going to read this but it's 3:30 am and nobody's awake so talking at everyone and no one in particular will do for now.

I have to write a silly blog for one of my classes this semester and it reminded me that I used to have an actual one, and now I'm nostalgic. And that's all for now. Maybe I'll write more later. Maybe.

ϕεúγω

I'll give you a few pictures to explain why I've been too busy to write.

Summed up in words: The apartment's a lot of work and still a bit of a mess, Ancient Greek (which I'm just taking for fun or something) is killing me, but my room is finally starting to look like a room. And that's all I'll give you at 1:30 am when I should be working on my Greek translations and stuff.

Returning

Heeey there. I've neglected this blog. Y'know, for the last few years or so. I'll try writing again a bit though, I realized the other day that I've missed it. Even if most of my blog has been me whining about things I need to do but haven't done. Sorry about that, dear readers of the past. I'm moving into my new apartment tomorrow (in Trondheim, if that has escaped anyone who might read this), so perhaps I'll post then. This will be all for now, as I have to make a complete IKEA list for tomorrow's money-draining shopping. Yikes. But here's a beautiful song/video if you can't bear parting just yet.

Leaving

For those who actually read my last post and are dying to know this: I didn't fail my French exam. I even got a 4, which is beyond anything I expected. So now I'm done with high school (again), and I just recieved proof of my achievement in the mail. Yes, because we fancy Norwegians receive our diplomas in the mail. Anyway.

Know what most people do on a Saturday night when they're about to move to another continent? They party with their friends, or meet up with family members. Know what I do? I paint my nails.

After a long day at work I kinda needed some me-time. I'll multitask from now on though. Maybe I'll paint my nails with my friends, imagine that! Gaah, 5 days to go! Happy/sad/nervous/excited. Oh, it'll be grand. Honestly, I can't wait. But I've got a lot to do before Friday... After a good night's sleep, of course.
'night!

Les trois mousquetaires

So, we get one chance at an oral exam. Just one subject. I sorely wanted English. Religion wouldn't murder me. I could suffer through most of the other subjects. If I got French I would surely die. So of course I got French. Unless the examinor is charmed by my ability to perfectly pronounce "Je ne sais pas" and "Je voudrais une licorne rose", my chances at even passing are slim. But after a couple of hours contemplating schemes to end up in either jail or the hospital on Wednesday (the day of my exam), I.. well, kept on contemplating even more complex schemes. But by now I've decided that I wouldn't very much like to spend my last weeks in Norway in either a hospital or a jail, so I guess I'll have to study and try my best to pass. So far "studying" has meant listening to someone reading Les trois mousquetaires by Dumas while trying to read it as well, all the while not understanding shit. I think I'll need to work on more basic stuff. Like saying "Hello, my name is Heidi" and such. Oh, I simply cannot wait for Wednesday.

Oh, I got a fancyass "I feel your despair" present from Julie (thankee hon :D), with a note begging me not to live up to my nickname. It's staring creepily at me right now, so I'd better get back to mon francais. Tuer-moi, s'il te plait.

This is becoming ridiculous.

I can't sleep. Not so unusual, aye? The thing is, I haven't been able to sleep for weeks. Not at night, anyway. And I've overslept a lot, and ditched a decent amount of classes to catch up. It hasn't been too big of an issue, though it's been annoying as hell. Why am I only complaining tonight, you ask (not really, since you're all goddamn fucking asleep by now, but pretending to be asked a question makes me feel less alone in my insomnia, so there)? Tomorrow's my first exam. A very important exam, making up an entire grade on its own. I have to get up in about four hours to make it to that exam in time.

I have a theory that I've become accustomed to sleeping when, and never unless, there's something important I should stay awake to do. That's quite a plausible theory, judging by how I sleep my way through all my assignment deadlines. So I've been trying to think of things I should be doing for hours. Finally I threw all my jeans in the washing machine. If I don't stay awake to hang them up or to put them in the dryer, I'll have no dry jeans tomorrow. It's idiotic, I know. But hey, if I show up at my exam with wet jeans tomorrow, we'll know that it worked.

And here's an illustrating picture of a complete stranger's possibly comfy bed, simply because said bed has fancy lights and an Asking Alexandria poster. 'night!

You're never really done for, as long as you've got a good story and someone to tell it to.

You know those days when you wake up and everything feels right, and you're unexplainably in a wonderful mood? And then by the end of the day you wonder how the fuck you could have been so happy that morning? Yeah, today was one of those days.



I'm gonna go drown myself in blankets and pillows now. Cheerio!

I've been alone here, I've been afraid, my dear,

So. I barely ever write and just might shut down this blog one of these days. But I'll keep it for now.
Anyway, I'll do another music recommendation. And the band I'll recommend this time iiiis... *drumroll* La Dispute. Their music is a mix of screamo and poetry, but also so much more. The singer has a really unique voice, and you'll either love it or hate it. It's an aquired taste I guess, but I love them.
Some songs to start your La Dispute loving life would be:
-Andria
-Such Small Hands
-Said the King to the River
-Fall Down And Never Get Back Up
-The Last Lost Continent

Gotta have some pretty pictures with fancy quotes from some of my favorite songs:

La Dispute - Said the King to the River, aka the song I'm currently playing on repeat.


Oh, and also I'm moving back to the states for a couple of years. 'night!

Waiting for the sunrise.

So, I didn't sleep tonight. Nor did I do anything productive, like the social studies report that's already nearly a week late. What did I do? Well, I:
-Listened to Oomph!. I think I just entered a new Oomph! period, last week it was Linkin Park (the old stuff, of course).
-Had some tea.
-Watched a few episodes of Grounded for life.
-Took a shower.
-Wandered aimlessly around the house.
-A bit more of wandering.

Oh so productive. And then I decided I haven't watched a sunrise in ages, so now I'm just waiting. And if you're deadly interested in what I'm listening to and too lazy to youtube it, here you go:

2 am post

Here are some random pictures, because frankly I'm too tired to write anything sensible.

Oh, Thrice. This must happen.

I really can't wait for December. I've had ten pages left to read in my very nice illustrated edition (Thankee, Latus!) for weeks now, but the thought of finishing it is somewhat unbearable.

But yeah, sleep, now. 'night!

And besides, there's so much beauty in a storm.

I haven't written a decent blog post in ages. Don't get your hopes up, I won't today either. I just wanted to show you, O' devoted readers, my project for the past few days. I can't see why anybody who doesn't know me, and by that probably sees my room regularly, would bother reading this, so I'll assume you will all see the difference.

Aand since the picture below is me at the moment, that's all I have for you right now. Because "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!" (Being Juliedeer and some fancy sparkly strawberry stuff I got from my mom for my birthday.) Cheerio!

Enough said.

These are the best days of our lives. It's a terrible thing to know, but I know it.

After celebrating my birthday, I realized that that night may very well be one of the best nights I've ever experienced. And without doubt it's the best birthday I've ever had. When I get all the pictures I'll write a post dedicated to it, but right now I figured I'd list all the other (the ones I can remember atm) such best days/nights I've had. So ta-da, a list of my happiest moments, in no order whatsoever:

-The day of the System of a Down concert in San Diego.
-The entire day/night spent in a rubber boat with Amalie and Julie.
-The first ever pumpkin-carving day with Siri.
-The Sunday in late July, 2009.
-A small party at Amalie's many years ago, at the end remaining with only Amalie, May Britt, Julie and me.
-The day this February when I made a surprise visit to Norway.
-The day Lars Erik, Victoria, Silje and I went to Hunderfossen.
-A random summer's day many years ago. It was nothing special, just a crowd hanging out at the beach and playing volleyball and soccer, but it was perfect.
-The day at Raumarock with Cec and Julie. (and don't you even dare think what you're thinking. It's on the list because of the festival feeling with two great friends and great music)
-The day of the "Scenen er din" contest several years ago, when we reached the finals.
-First lego league, the actual day of the contest.
-The day when Karro and I were out all day in that boat.
-The All Time Low concert with Sally.
-And now, of course, night of the 3rd of December, a great party with incredible people. I love you guys.

Alright, the list turned out a bit longer than it was supposed to. And there are more days that should be on it, but y'know. I don't have time right now, but I'll soon edit this to contain some pictures from these awesome days.

Matte-privatisteksamen

Also known as the-exam-they're-making-me-take-today-because-last-year's-math-in-the-US-apparently-cannot-count. Too bad, I wish they'd use my grade from last year. It was one of the very, veryvery few classes I got an A in. Which is weird, since, y'know, I sort of despise math. But let's hope the weirdness continues, and that I will have a somewhat successful exam today! Cross your fingers for me, alright?

Oh, and I feel like mentioning that I've never worked so hard for anythig in my life. If you saw my math book you'd understand. Or maybe rather if you know how much I usually work for things. Ohwell.

I need to get ready now, so wish me luck!!

This is getting me through the day (Not that I'm allowed to listen to it during the exam though. Grumblemumble..)

October 31st

Just saluting the best day of the year.





Happy Halloween everyone! And yes, I'm a few days late, but y'know.

Wenn du wüsstest wie sehr ich befürchtet dass ich dich verlier.

 Today has been uneventful. Got two more ear piercings though.

Aand I have to wait a month to get the last one. Meaning I have to walk back into that jewelry store with the overly talkative lady who lacks a social antenna. Things I've learned today, between missing the boat and finally excusing myself to at least catch the next ferry:

-Her father who's been ill for some time is coming back to town in a week's time. Along with a nice description of his illness.

-She has two young boys. One of them is only her step son. He's in forth grade, her other kid just started first  grade.

-She does not want the summer vacation to last for two months. She'd rather have the kids do no homework throughout the entire year, and then just have a month off. This is mostly due to the fact that she has a firstgrader who cannot be home alone for two months, and she cannot take all that time off. And a bunch of other reasons which she explained in detail to me, but I just won't put you through that.

-Her step son does not like all the stress with living a week in each home. And then she listed the reasons and what they have done to solve the problem.

 -Last week she went to the store with her family. The guy behind the counter messed up the reciept, so she paid too much for the kids' candy. This annoys her, because it has been her favorite store.

-Oh, and she has a friend who has a father in Germany. The fact that I have a German line from some lyrics as my title is, trust me, completely unrelated.

Now, after the summary of what she told me in the 20 minutes it took me to get my piercings and escape, you could be her stalker. No need though, just drop by and she'll tell you everything herself, and tons more if you don't have an excuse to leave and you are too rude to make one up.

Now that I am assured that you have a lot of interesting and informative reading, I shall take my leave and go study for the history test tomorrow. Or go for a walk while listening to Oomph!. Probably the latter.
