Happy birthday destruction___! Mental muffins for you.

I am really very busy this week, and next week will be mock exam galore so I'm not gonna have any time for computering except maybe next weekend. Cabin trip with class on Thursday 30th because we have the Friday off ♥ and then I'm packing for Russia. Again. Going to Saint Petersburg this time, which is allegedly more tourist friendly and prettier than Moscow. We are a more select party going this time, there were only three open slots, but there were only three including me who voulenteered so it's not that special. Not sure what we're gonna do just yet except see the city and meet some pupils at a school and participate at a environment conference. Fun! (irony?) That's three weeks ago from now, exactly.

So yes, very very busy.

Oh, and I've been wearing skirts and dresses for like four days straight, and I'm planning on wearing dresses/tunics/skirts at least a coupla more days. Hah, wth self?


I said I was going to post a picture, I didn't say I was going to look sane. No, the haircut doesn't normally portrude from the back of my head like that. Oh yeah, I'm the blonde one.

I need to go do homework grrrmbl it's all I ever do and I feel like I never do it. All I want to do is sleep, I'm so sleep deprived there's a cold sore developing on my lower lip. Tits.

Oh hell no! I am every inch as stubborn, prideful and idiotic as any male stereotype when it comes to this. I once ended up taking an hour long walk instead of a 30 minutes one because I simply refused myself to ask anyone as to not look stupid. Appearance in that way is really important to me, and I love to impress people. It's my worst enemy, I tell ya. It's a sort of If it ain't perfect, it ain't worth it attitude towards myself. Strangely not towards anyone else, though; whereas I have no problems if anyone else isn't perfect, I can't stand to be less-than, myself. I think I really need to work on that.

That said, I do think I might be an exception. When my mom and dad was together, and now, with my dad's new girlfriend, he always seems to be the one who's most hesitant to stop and ask if we're lost. Maybe it's because I'm tomboy-y. *shrug*

School is friggin eating my life like ants on spilled sugar. It's nuts! Yet I would almost not have it any other way (take out a little bit of the amount of homework and the rate at which we are supposed to be learning things and I'd be happy as a plundering baby). It's scary to think that I will be leaving this secure and mandatory pattern which has been more or less my life for 10 years in less than three years. O_O

I was at this cabin trip from Friday till Saturday with the theater people from my school. It was nice, but I am very tired right now because I slept for something like 4 hours. I kissed a girl, but I didn't like it that much (she was a bad kisser, her teeth were all over the place). I'm sort of afraid people are going to label me as a lesbian. I'm also sick, and I bet not wearing socks for a whole day is going to help me get a lot better, ohyes.

Here, have a picture from it:


Anyway. Nothing really interesting happened otherwise. I didn't go to a Machine Head/Children of Bodom/Slipknot concert cause my sister, who was gonna come with me, got sick, I finished reading my first Chuck Palahniuk novel three-four days ago and I'm plowing my way through the second one right now, I don't really think I'm in love with that guy who's oh-so-ironically named Love (though I won't say he's not easy on the eyes or that I wouldn't go for it, lolz?) annnnnnd I like the new HP and the HBP trailer.

Now, to take a warm bath and read me some more Survivor (also, my elbow hurts and I think it's because I've been inside and on the computer all day. Serves me right).

DEAD IS THE NEW ALIVE!1!@!

But seriously; Emilie Autumn last night was am-az-ing. It was the most show-oriented concert I've ever been to, and it was really very cool. Just.. the set-list was great, they played all the songs I really like, and they were so nice at the signing when I talked to them. They seemed genuinely happy that I told them that I was impressed, and one of them signed the CD I brought with "Follow your dreams!" and another called me gorgeous, which was nice but not really something I took seriously seeing as she went around kissing about any girl who was up for it, haha. And I went all by myself! First concert I've gone to alone ever. I was surprised it could be that great still.

As a consequence, I've been dressed up sort of cabaret-ish today.

( Here's the attire and the new hair )

OMG EDDIE IZZARD ON TV *runs* and Harry Shearer, on The Graham Norton Show! But my dad is being stupid and says he was watching a movie (THAT YOU CAN RENT), so he just swapped channels. I gotta pester him to see the damned thing. I hate when dad doesn't understand what is important to me. Like back in 2007, when My Chemical Romance came to Norway, I ran around crying in the apartment and asked if I could go, and he just went: "No". Without even hearing me out! He's so unwilling to communicate sometimes.

Comments on the show: Harry Shearer is the nicest man ever. He just agreed to call a fan who made a lego-Simpsons intro. In a Mr. Burns voice. But honestly, that guy sucked at English. Mr. Izzard doesn't seem to agree with me. And they're showing The Death Star Canteen :D Ahh, the small pleasures of being a geek. And Harry Shearer's released a CD with satirical songs that I want. It's called Tales of the Busmen, and features pres. Bush with a bone through his nose on the cover.

And and I was at this concert that I forgot to mention a week ago or something, with Kaizers Orchestra. That was cool, but the least interesting show I've been to because we had to be in the "Under 18" area. 's cool that they're Norwegian, though. It makes the fact that their music is good so much more interesting.
And on Norwegian music, check out this song. It is awesome. I heard it last night, and it's all I've been listening to today.

/end ranty blog-post.

I'm leaving for Iceland today, coming back the 7th. Drat everything in this world for me losing my camera. I might steal some space from my sister, though, so I can post some pictures. Dammit, I haven't done ANY of the concert posts either. It's not like a whole lot of people care, but I like having it written down so I can go back and read things over.

Anyway. I haven't been doing much lately besides lurking around with my friends, both old and new. And I think I'm finally over that damned crush on Adrian, yay! This is something that is defintitely worth celebrating. I still love him, but in a completely different way. It's so relieving :D
Also, there's this guy who's expressing interest in me, but I'm not sure if I'm really that into him. I mean, he's a nice guy, funny and sweet (he's even in a band) but I just don't have those feelings for him. I love the feeling of being validated but I want to keep my options open too, in case there are any nice guys at my new school.

About that: I was accepted to the school I wanted! YAY! It's called Oslo katedralskole, and is widely known as the best school in Oslo. Henrik Wergeland, Edvard Munch, Jostein Gaarder and our Prime Minister, amongst others, have attended this school. I have one of my definitely better friends there (namely nokomedandrea. Babe, expect a snuggleglomp first day of school), and bokhylle is most likely going to go there with me too. :D I'm so excited, I've met two or three others who go to this school already this summer, and they are literally fabulous. I can't wait for the 18th.

And, in case you didn't notice, I've changed my icons. I have yet to do some minor adjustments, but I'm much more happy with how everything is now.

Right now, life is good.

This is (l to r) Tiril and me, btw.

We haven't gotten our internet yet, and the connection to the ones I'm leeching off is bad. Interneting will be resumed on the 23rd, hopefully. That's when we're supposed to get it, anyway.

I'm working on giving my icon batch a total makeover. I have a ton of icons I want and only room for 15 D: LJ should expand it to 20. If having unlimited space for icons is one of the pros of having a paid account, 5 icons won't matter much in the grand scheme of things.

Aaaaaannnd my picture with the Dolls cuz I can't contain my excitement about it. When I stood there I was so OMG WHAT TO DO WHEN ARE YOU TAKING THE PICTURE HOW DOES MY FACE LOOK? and I've been walking around thinking that my smile looked totally fake. Turns out it didn't. I dunno what the hell John is on, but I love his expression xD ♥ I've edited it, but only the red in our eyes. My eyes didn't have an iris or anything, they were just all over red. It was slightly scary, to be honest. I look totally ridiculous, try to ignore that, eh? And as you probably can see, my hair has faded quite a bit.



Gah, the picture's grainy. I resized it in rich mode, not photoshop. Well, lesson learned. Right now I was just anxious to get the entry done before the 'net decides to die on me. Fixed :D

Happy new year everyone :D ♥ I hope this year will be prosperous and challenging in a developing way. Or something. I've never been quite good at that sort of thing.







Anyhow. That pictures above is from Valdres, where I was just recently (27th to 30th, I think. I lose track of time when it's holidays), visiting my fathers girlfriends family. It was nothing too funny but nice in the sort of seeing family you haven't seen in a while (though I have never met them before), but it was a pretty place and my gosh, all that snow! 'twas lovely, I've been missing it so much. I'm a no-winter without-snow kind of person, and finally it has started snowing down here in Oslo too. Yay! I know a lot of the people I know don't like snow, but there you go; I'm born in the winter, and thus I love snow.

Finally turned 15 the 31st. One more year or so to go, and I can actually start feeling my age. Amazing how the time flies, I swear I've had the feeling that it was Christmas 2006/2007 just yesterday all year.
And omfg, I got an el-gitar. <3

I'm not sure whether I've had a good Christmas or not. It's like, I've been doing so many lovely things with my family and friends and holidays always cheer me up, but my mom and dad are quarreling quite fucking much and I just hate it with such intensity. Not only do they make everything hellish for me and my little sister, but they are so childish about it. I can understand that they have problems communicating, but in all honesty, they should handle it like the adults they are. *headshake* I seriously considered leaving through my window and just piss off until so they would actually realize how fucked up the whole thing is, but I didn't because I didn't want to ruin everyone else's celebrations.

At any rate.

YAY new moodtheme by rory_tutorgirl! :D MCR-theme was just too good to pass on. I feel I don't give them enough credit for being an awesome band.

And the last thing: I expect updates will be slow until summer. School is sadjakfjk stupid as ever.

FINALLY. I have uploaded the pictures from Italy. Prepare for picture-ness.

( Picture heavy, yesyes. )
