That's why they call them business socks!

Right now I'm in English class, we're watching a documentary, "Belfast Girls" or something. Of course it's most interesting, that's why I'm writing this.
"Girls who have their hair loose are protestants, don't you think?" That's kinda sad. Suppose everyone in.. Ardoyne? would think I'm a protestant then, since I always have my hair loose.

Awrr. I think I'm gonna sleep now. I slept for almost 8 hours last night, which is highly unusual, but I'm still tired. Damn. 'Night!

Again-

Time: 03:32 AM
Location: My bed.
Status: Not tired, and should start on tomorrow's French-presentation.
Time until the day starts: 1 hour and 28 minutes.

How come I have so many posts about myself not being able to sleep? Gotta be kinda boring to read. Well I need something to do. And besides, I'm not forcing you.

Random picture of the day/night/whatever:Can't believe this was taken just some years back. Karoline and me, should you wonder. On a bus, heading towards Trondheim with our class and quite a few other people.

And now: French. Or sleep. Or getting ready for school, whichever comes first.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

The real, the original, the authentic Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks, 1/2 pound) butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated [white] sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 cups (12-ounce package) Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels (or just normal chocolate, like Norwegian melkesjokolade <3

(you can add nuts, but.. don't.)



COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE in preheated 375-degree [Fahrenheit] oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

PAN COOKIE VARIATION: PREPARE dough as above. Spread into greased 15"x10" jelly-roll pan. Bake in preheated 375-degree [Fahrenheit] oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack.

FOR HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING (>5,200 feet): INCREASE flour to 2 1/2 cups; add 2 teaspoonfuls water with flour; reduce both granulated sugar and brown sugar to 2/3 cup each. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, drop cookies for 8 to 10 minutes and pan cookies for 17 to 19 minutes.


Awesome recipe. Time to make cookies, people! :D

I do sincerely believe I've got some kind of sleeping-disorder.

Sleep, oh most dearest colorful dreams of rainbows and badguy run-aways, where have you hidden?

Night blog

Once again, I can't sleep. Not that I've tried a lot tonight though. The moment I turn off my computer, I have to read for my social studies test tomorrow, which I, of course, don't want to do. So, I'm still here.
This weekend I've been visiting Siri (The cute/scary creature in the picture below) in Fiksdal, which is a place even smaller than the postcard-pretty-stamp-sized-town I live in. Yeah, imagine that. It's beautiful though. And I like it there. It reminds me of endless summers, childhood and Harry Potter. Ah, good times, grand times.

And I've been listening to Death Cab For Cutie the whole day/night. They have beautiful songs. Right now I'm listening to "Cath..". One of my favorites is probably Transatlanticism. The lyrics, ahh. And since I'm secretly a masochist (before I posted this where anyone, anywhere can read it, that is), I'm topping it all with Incubus - I miss you. If you didn't get that, you're not supposed to.

Now I need to read. Awrr. Wish me luck, fine gentlemen.
What I want to read versus what I should read. Hum.
