It's been a while

This is why I have no readers. For those who don't get my point, it's because I suddenly take a month off from writing. And even after saying I'd write soon. Well, there are many other reasons why I don't have readers, but this one is among them. I know 1-2 of my friends read this once in a while, I haven't forgotten you. Thanx btw.

So school has started. This takes up the majority of my time, since I wake up at five and get home at five. Yes, I lied, it only takes half my time. But half is more than enough. Besides, I'm always tired when I get home, after a night of barely any sleep and a long day at school. Well, it makes me appreciate the weekends more I guess.

Tonight I've fulfilled a dream. I tried out the combination of a big water fountain + a lot of soap. I've always wanted to try that. And the result was wonderful. People stopped to take pictures. Well, at least before someone had to turn it off to prevent bubbles from taking over Molde. By tomorrow I expect we'll be famous.
I also went to see Inglorious Basterds today. If you haven't seen it, please do. It's great, really great.
I don't have any pictures from today yet, but I'll put them up once I do.

Home, Sleep and Sweden.

You know my imagination is running low when I give you a headline like that. It's about 2.45 AM atm, so that might be why. I'm starting to get sorta tired. But I'm not going to bed yet. I feel like talking to people. Well, those who are still awake. And If I go crazy, then will you still call me superman? A secret gift to whoever figures out what song I'm listening to atm.

I've been home for a few days now. I've seen most of my closest friends, which I'm grateful for. I've missed them. But I'll find a way to get back to the US as soon as possible. How? I'll let you know when I know.

I'm going to the capital of Sweden tomorrow, and I'm staying until the 18th. Anyone who knows the name of Sweden's capital? Anyone? I'm testing your geography skills.(This is a picture of Sweden's capital, if you need help)
I'm going with my mom, so it's a "girls only" trip I guess. This will be interesting.

I think I'm going to bed now. I'll write again sometime after I come home. How soon after I come home, that's another story.. No, I'll write soon. Promise.

I don't want to leave

Tomorrow's the day I'm going home to Norway, and I don't want to. I want to stay here. I like this place, and I love the people. I feel like I haven't done anything this summer, and yet, this is the best summer I've ever had. The last part I can blame on my friends and family. I wish I could stay until.. Christmas sounds good? I miss those at home, a lot, so I'll have to go home eventually. But just another week, at least another day..? I almost hope we miss our plane.

Okay, enough whining. I'll give you some pictures radiating happiness.

Ice cream, wonderful ice cream.Stowe, VermontYes, I know I look pathetic. But we look happy, don't we?Me and Farfar ftw!Lars Erik, me and Farfar

Some of the pictures get all fucked up with bad quality, but that's not my fault. Be mad at Blogger.
Tomorrow I'm going to see my farmor (she has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember me) before we leave, and hopefully my farfar as well. There are some other people I'd love to see before we leave, and I hope I get to say goodbye to them too. Our plane leaves at around 4 pm from Logan airport. Then we get on a flight from Newark to Oslo, and from Oslo to Ålesund. Basically there's a lot of traveling. Well, I'll write again sometime when I get home. Or if I somehow manage to pull off something so we can stay longer. Got any ideas as to what I can do to stay?

Vermont

So, for those who don't know, I'm in Stowe, a small place in the state of Vermont. I've been here since Saturday, I'm going back to Stow (MA) on the coming Saturday. Sort of weird that both places are called Stow(e). This will be a short post, I'm going to beat my brother at tennis in a few minutes.

Yesterday we were at the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory. I love their ice cream, and we got free samples. A few days earlier, we tok a ferry across lake whatsitsname, over to upstate New York. We didn't do much there, just drove around. And Alex (my cousin) and Joe (my cousin's friend) were here for a night, which was great. That's about all that's happened here in Vermont. But it's beautiful here, it looks a lot like Vestnes. Trees and mountains everywhere. Nothing ever happens here.. Yes, very much like Vestnes.

My time in the US so far has been wonderful. I do not want to go home yet. But I miss those at home of course, so I'm looking forward to seeing them again. But then I'll really miss those who are here. Arrrr.

But now I'm playing tennis. I might write again before I go home to Norway. And since many people think that blog posts without pictures are boring, here's a picture of half-a-tree, a very cute one. I want a tree like that.

Wow. Just wow.

Jamie Cullum. This is coming a bit late, but I've been busy. Anyway... Yeah, Jamie Cullum. The concert was great. No, it was beyond great. It was raining and it was freakin' cold, but still so worth it. Jamie + band were awesome. They played my favorites, plus some I hadn't heard before. Like London Skies, Get It Your Way and Photograph. And he was so funny.
"I actually worked on a Norwegian cruise ship for 6 years!" *Laughter* "Why are you laughing? That's really not funny!" *Laughter* "Seriously, every night an old drunk lady wold come up to me and say 'plaay mooun rivvver!!'. I played that song 20 times every night!"
"I know I have the body of a 12-year-old, but they say I'll be happy for it when I'm 60."
It doesn't sound that funny when I write it, but it was. If you were there, you'd know.
So I really hope he's coming back next year. Earlier than next year would be preferable. Whenever you're coming Jamie, I'll be there. I think I have a mini-crush on this guy. But how can anyone possibly not, if they've seen/heard him?

Jamie Cullum

Those who actually read my blog probably know about the Moldejazz. For those who don't, the Moldejazz is the yearly jazz-festival in the closest city. I haven't been there for many years, I'm usually gone this time of the summer. But I'm here now. And I've been looking forward to this week for a while now (Yes, it lasts for a week). And I wanted to go to some of the concerts. I found Jamie Cullum, who's playing tomorrow, and chose him as my first concert this year. I'd never heard about him or his music before, but I did some research. And I actually like his music a lot! I instantly fell for High and dry & Twentysomething. Anyone who's heard about him before? Heard his music?The concert starts 3 pm, but I have to wake up early to walk to the ferry, then take the ferry over to Molde, then buy tickets.. I need all the sleep I can get. 'Night!

I haven't written anything in my blog for.. Well, over a month. But this isn't my first priority when we've been having great weather the last month. Except a thunderstorm, but that's okay, 'cause I love thunderstorms. We never get proper ones here, but the one we had a week ago was great. I should have taken some pictures, but I didn't. Do you like thunderstorms?
