I watched you crawl into my bed

I have once again fallen in love with Ryan Reynolds. His humor is .. crazily funny!

I still remember this town

I watched "And then came Polly" today. It inspired me, and so I decided to go outside biking in the rain while eating ice. After awhile I got bored, and went back in side. At school today, I had a presentation - and it felt great to be done with it. After school I went to the library, and I borrowed Travelling With Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd - also known for her book The Secret Life of Bees. I've actually never read The Secret Life of Bees. I just can't get myself to read it. Something is holding me back. Anyways, this is supposedly about a mother-daughter relationship. I've read a novel about the same before, and it was really interesting. So I decided to go for this, as I couldn't find Something Borrowed. I love reading books!

By the way, I've recently discovered Jeff Pianki on Youtube. He is a very talented musician, and writes lovely tunes. I have not yet decided which song is my favorite. I think I like everyone equally! Oh, and then there's Radical Face (another musician .. or group, not quite sure). I randomly heard a song of them in the background of a skatingvideo - and it turns out that it's on the Skins Season five music track too. I love Skins-music. My favorites are probably Welcome Home and Wrapped In Piano Strings.

It just happens to be your birthday

The time is 01:21, and it's May 29th - your birthday, my bestfriend. I'm not the one to really show any emotion .. you already know it. You are seventeen, not longer sixteen. The last year has gone by really quick, and I am not really able to point out things about you that have changed since. Well, perhaps your eyebrows. Haha. We don't meet up as frequently as before. We don't speak to each other as much as before, nor do we play as much as in our childhood. But that's perhaps the most wonderful thing about us. We manage to jump right back on track where we left it last time. Sometimes we have lots to tell each other, and sometimes we are silent. It takes hell of a lot to be silent and comfortable in presence of someone. But with you it's just another day.

I sometimes fright that we may not stay friends forever. We all know that people change, and promises are broken. What if she gets another best friend? What if we grow apart? What if we have a big fight? I cannot answer any of those questions. I cannot say that we will be best friends forever, because I don't know what will happen in the future. But I do know that I wish for us to stay best friends till death. Happy 17-birthday! ooxo

committed by elizabeth gilbert

"At the end of Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born Australian citizen. Resettling in America, they swore eternal fidelity, but also (each a survivor of a divorce. Enough said) swore never, ever, to get married. But when providence intervened in the form of the US government, they faced a stark choice: either marry, or Felipe could never return to the US. Effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert delves into the subject of marriage and, debunking myths, unthreading fears, celebrating love, suggests that sometimes even the most romantic of souls must trade in amorous fantasies for the humbling responsibility of adulthood." (description from the back of the book)

I finally finished reading Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert. What did I think of the novel? I was very open-minded, because I had read Eat, Pray, Love before - and I really enjoyed the first novel! I was excited in the beginning - because I wanted to know what happened after Eat, Pray, Love. It turns out that Felipe and Liz have to get married in order to stay in America. Meanwhile their case is being investigated, they live in various Asian countries. I found this novel quite .. annoying - which is probably why I spent so much time reading it. I had to take some pauses. The lack of action - like in somebody doing something, made it almost unbearable for me. I already knew Gilbert had a love for rambling, but I cannot remember that Eat, Pray, Love had this much rambling. I do however have the ability to read through a book like this. I know there are many books out there, that sometimes can be hard to get through, however - in my experience, they have turned out to be fantastic in the end. Hence my patience. Out of 279 pages, there are probably 40-50 of them where something actually happen. The rest is just rambling about marriage. I would not recommend this book, nor would I ever told anyone to not read this book. Everyone has different perspectives and ways of interpreting things - that's just how it works. So if you are looking for good-researched information about marriage, I would recommend it (uhm, exception from what I said earlier). Because there are lots of wise information in the novel, and many times wise information about feminism. I do also love the fact that Gilbert quoted Marge Simpson: "Marriage is a beautiful thing. But it's also a constant battle for moral supremacy". Do whatever makes you happy. Read it, or not.

the thought of you waking up next to me is so lovely

I had a very bad day today .. I'm not quite capable to understanding why. I guess all the negative thoughts won - and I was miserable. I just wanted to go home and watch a sad movie, and just sit down and cry. Right now I have very little time left for my two presentations and my paper. But hey, it's all gonna be over in some days. I really hope the sun will pop out again! I love when I randomly stumble across talented musicians on youtube. It's delightful!

when the lights go down

"I want to be with my wife… Sitting on a deckchair, sipping some tea, and reading books in a retirement home, in a beautiful and warm place. I'm a romantic guy." - Robert Pattinson.

I think I might have fallen in love with Pattinson for saying that. Who am I trying to fool? I am programmed to find him repulsive. But it was definitely cute! It's a day of quotes. I started the blogpost with a quote, and I will end it with one as well.

"You know, I wrote a song about you.." "Really??" "Yeah, it's called Bitch in a Uniform" - Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.

the movies

When people get weepy at movies it’s because in that dark theatre the golden pool of magic is touched, just briefly. Then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again and it dries up. And they’re left feeling a little heart sad and not knowing why

-Mark Schwahn (One Tree Hill: 8x22 This is my house, This is my home.)

new sheets

Today I've spent most of my time in bed. You know that feeling of annoyance when you have loads of time and lots to do, but then you waste all that time away? That's how I feel right now. I do believe I deserved some time off though. I've spent the last days studying for math. I did not only lie in bed the whole day, but I finally cleaned my bedroom. I only clean when I can't see the ground anymore. Okay, a bit exaggerated .. anyways school is soon finished, and everything seems to go pretty good for me at school. For awhile it looked a bit dark, but I feel quite opposite now. Since Gossip Girl ended the season, I decided to catch up on One Tree Hill. Oh my gosh, the episodes always make me shed some tears. And James Lafferty is extremely hot! I'm tired .. need.sleep.now.

jag tror mitt hjärta blöder

Tomorrow is the day of horror. No, I'm joking. Since Friday I've been stuck in my room studying math. I don't find it too .. well horrible. I just really need more time - though I have gone through 2/3 of my book - which makes me extremely proud. The only chapter that annoys me is chapter 2. I need to use my computer with it, and it's so easy for me to just watch Youtubevideos, or check out Facebook/Twitter. Right now my music taste is very Scandinavian .. I love Veronica Maggio!

my heart is on the table

Don't you love life? It's so easy to become happy by the smallest things. Well, in my case it's not very small. In fact, it's the biggest thing in life. I've been stuck in my room studying for a long time now, and it gets very boring at times - so I often procrastinate. I'm going to become an aunt! I've known since February, but now I know the gender! And guess what? It was exactly what I had guessed. It's a boy. I was so sure that it would be a boy, that I made up a story for the baby if it turned out to be a girl; oh you see .. when you were in your mama's belly I thought you were a boy .. I love my life.

say that we'll be together

Wait .. someone please explain what this is! (picture) Right now I'm a bit stressed out. Turns out that my exam is on Friday. I thought it would be tomorrow. Anyways, that means I'll have less time for math. Plus I have a text due on Sunday. Which means even less time. How am I supposed to get an A? How? After this I have a presentation in german, and another text due May 31th. Oh wait .. I have another presentation in between this. Ha-ha, looks like I have to bleed in order to do well. Don't you love school?

Happy birthday

Today is Norway and my friend's birthday. I started off my day in Oslo, the capital city of Norway. Me and two friends went to the Royal palace, which normally takes 15 minutes. However, as everyone wanted to wave to the royal family - it was a long line. At one point everyone stood by each other as if they shared an intimate dance .. I'm pretty sure I mistakenly touched a few bottoms. Haha! Anyways, there we stood, pushing each other, trying to get to the castle. In the end, we managed to go as far as we could get. After standing there awhile, we decided to go all the way back. We were supposed to meet some other friends to eat at Egon. I ate a delicious cheeseburger. Then we went out, and the others ate some ice cream. By the time they were done, the time was 15:30. Me and A went to catch the train to an amusement park. We meet my lovely friend who turned 18! We only went for one roller coaster. I did want to go for another ride, but the others didn't want to .. and my head really ached - so it was probably for the best. It started raining a bit, so we decided to go to a cafè called Pikene På Hjørnet. I ate some delicious ice. And that's basically how my day was. I could have amplified a lot more. However, I'm not so sure it would have been interesting. In fact, I don't think you bothered to read this either. Oh well. Happy birthday NORWAY!

like a million little stars spelling out your name

(Pictures: various Tumblr's as usual.)

Right now I'm taking a break from studying german grammar. Fun fun fun fun. Tomorrow I'll have to stop by the mall to fix some things, and then I'm just gonna be isolated in my room .. studying. I guess that's what you do when you have an exam to prepare for. My exam will be on May 19th. I don't care about that, however, I do care about the fact that I will not recieve a grade before late June. Approximately when my Summer vacation starts. It would be a really bummer to receive a bad grade when it's supposed to be the happiest time of the year (for me at least). Anyways, my playlist right now is a mix between old, new, and eurovision. Congratulations to Azerbaijan.

they wanna hold you back

Long time, no see. I've been doing schoolwork, and hanging out with friends. Yesterday I was informed that I have an exam in German. It was not exactly the subject I wanted to have an exam in, nor was it the worst alternative. However, first I need to finish a paper. It is soon the national day of Norway - and I cannot wait. Right now I am listening to Chris Brown and Keri Hilson while eating strawberries. Lovely.

you're way too beautiful

Yesterday was Saturday, as if you didn't know. Me and A was hosting a girlsnight .. with facial masks, snacks, pizza, strawberries, muffins, and chick flicks. All I can say, is that it was lovely - though some of my closest were not attending. As it's very lovely weather today, I am going to try get a bit tanner :) Have a lovely Sunday!
