don't burn out, even if you scream and shout

Was just scrolling through my Tumblr dashboard, and I said "oh, hi!" to this gif of Liam Payne and my sister, Monchita asked whether I was talking to her, or if I was an insane person talking to myself. In which I answered: "no, I'm just talking to the pictures (on my dash)". Then she looked at me, and responded: "Well, that doesn't really help your case". Story of my life. Ah, I'm pretty sure I'm obsessed with jackets and shoes. Mainly men's jackets. Those are the best (oh my goodness, coats and bomber jackets-- my favourite things this season). On another note though, I'm really grateful for a lot of things today. I'm so grateful I was born and grew up in Norway, and not in a country where the differences between rich and poor is scarcely high. I've just seen and read a few things, that's made me realise that I should be thankful for little things.  Not that I never am. It's just easy to lose perspective sometimes. I'm currently watching cross country skiing-- have been all day, really. It's the first time I've watched the women's this season, because I've always been asleep when it's their turn. It was a bit disappointing on the Norwegian women's side. But I'm still very impressed with Kowalczyk (I'm definitely liking the black attire!), not to mention Kalla. The latter has been a bit disappointing the previous season, so I hope she'll be better this year. I'm currently watching the men's now, and it's looking good. The trail is rather different with loads of hills, which is a good thing, because the people who are better "climbers" gets to show off. People have different strengths, you know. For some reason I find myself cheering on the Swedes (especially Hellner-- I do love him a bit). It's just that a lot of them were on the top not long ago, and the previous season it looked like they were all going downhill. And I guess I like cheering for the underdogs. I told my mum yesterday: "mum, I'm going to watch cross country skiing tomorrow, is that okay? Oh, and then I'm going to watch handball as well". And she sighed, before she asked when. She hates watching sports, is the thing. It's rather amusing how different my mum and I are. Oh well, I'm going to IKEA with Monchita in a bit, and then it's handball tonight. And as for my mood-- it's so much better today. The weather is looking nice, but I'm a bit sad there's no snow at the moment. But then again, I've not been able to find my winter boots, so maybe it's for the best. If I don't find them, I might have to freeze off my feet this winter. But then again, I doubt I'm going to be spending loads of time outside the next month or so. Oh god, that reminded me of "praksis" after Christmas-- jeez, it's going to last until March. So loooong. In nine days, it's the start of my exam. I know it's going to be okay in the end, but the thing I'm most worried about how stressed I'll be during the days of my exam. And the fact that my siblings are all coming home at that time. Oooh, I think it's going to be a Norwegian first place on the men's side today! No, I don't think-- it is! Not to mention, the third place goes to a Norwegian as well. Great, great news. And so nice to see other faces than the familiar faces on the podium. Oh my goodness, the winner is crying, and now I'm becoming all emotional too. I've got to go get ready now, so have a nice Saturday. And must you all have a nice and interesting day.
