Jeg sikler. Siriusly. Gimme gimme gimme!

   
ÅH. THEY'RE PREFECT. Where's money when I need it?

Is it possible to fall in love with a scarf? Why yes, yes it is.

AMMAGAAD IT'S SO COMFY I'M GONNA DIAAY

Having SO much fun! 

Jk, gonna do my make up now

Edit: Done, and I don't know why I bother. Gotta love my bad hair-day though 

 

First of all, I have to apologize for the terrible post last night. It was so boring, I do not even want to read it myself. Secondly, I will try not to use contractions when writing. I am so used to it, I sometimes forget to use the formal English when having tests etc. And it is so annoying to get grades dragged down because of something that stupid. Thirdly, I have to mention how super super super happy I am whenever I am using the Mac and not the PC. Using a PC is like… Not being able to see properly, the way I imagine it feels to use glasses and have them all foggy.

Today I have been shopping. Ugh. I absolutely loathe it. But I have not bought anything since June this summer, so I had to. I bought the most fantastic pair of pants, it is so comfortable - it is like wearing air! Is this the materialistic me coming out of the closet? Nah, not really though. I am mostly happy because of the fact that I do not have to shop for another five months! Oh… wait… I forgot Christmas. Fuck. Fuckfuckfuck.

I am listening to The Smiths. "There is too much caffeine in your bloodstream, and a lack of real spice in your life." Ah… Could not be more true. 

Hey y'all, I'm back. Turns out that blogg.no sucks, who'd have known, right!? I don't really have any followers here anymore, but I will continue to refer to you in plural - to make me feel important. That's the way I roll. I haven't announced the "sudden change of blog" on my former one (the blogg.no thingy,) but that's just the way I want it. You see, I find it really awkward - the whole "writing in English" thing, so I'd rather have noone reading it.

Today I will answer random question for my own pleasure. This being the first post (in a while) and everything, quality isn't important. Right? Right? Hallo? Anyone? ... Well, never mind, as we say in Norway: Silence consents. Or something.

To warm you up, here's a picture of me (of course):
This is by the way my favourite picture of myself these days. Mostly because I remember how genuinly happy I was when it was taken. It's almost like I can hear David Bowie from the stereo, feel the warm softness from my favourite sweater - and the faint tiredness from muscles who has been smiling WAY to much. Ah, if I could only go back in time... And oh, growing stylish facial hair is my hobby these day, you likie? :-)

But now... Back to the point! POKEMON. Yeah, not really though. QUESTIONS. Fraghen. Spørsmål. Questinos. (Who am I kidding? I don't know the Spanish word. For yes, that was supposed to sound Spanish. I fail.) These questions are from random sites all over the infamous world wide web, and guess what - I haven't kept track of the sourses! That's how bad I am.

What's your favourite tv show of all time, and why?
Well, obviously, I can't choose one.Four on the other hand, is a perfect number in this context. And the answer is of course: That '70s Show, Skins, The Inbetweeners and The Big Bang Theory. Why? That '70s Show is not only funny, but during the 8 seasons we get to know the characters very well - without it getting boring. Skins are first of all BRITISH, so how could I NOT like it? It's also very... It has pretty quotes and it's just pretty, kinda. With characters we like and love - and loathe. Its also a bit deeper than both The Inbetweeners and The Big Bang Theory. The Inbetweeners is hillarious, british and entertaining. Love it. And The Big Bang Theory is clever and funny - and who doesn't love Sheldon?

How many hours a week do you spend watching tv?
The answer here is: zero. I very rarely watch tv, and that's of course the reason to post the question. To sound oh, so social and non-nerdy. The fact is, I watch everyting online. And how many hours a week I spend on the computer? The anwer would be quite depressing, and not something I want to think about really. Really. Just ask my cyberfriends!

Has reading a book ever changed your life. Which one and why, if yes?
Yes! I've always loved books, and I have read many books that changes - if not my life, then the way I look at it. Haruki Murakami is perhaps my favourite author, and I always have a new feeling when leaving one of his universes. The books that have changed my life the most will always be Harry Potter. I used to be quite a fanatic Harry Potter fan, and even though I'm not anymore, there's no escaping that these seven books really have changed my life.

How many books do you read each year?
I've always tried to count, but I've never succeeded. I read roughly 3-7 books each months, so let's say 5 is an average month - I guess we could say 60 books a year.

Who's the three best looking celebs of the opposite sex?
Rupert Grint and Bård Ylvisåker. Definatley. The third is harder... Louis Garrel? Robert Sheehan? Vladimir Consigny? Aaron Johnson? Alex Turner? Adrien Gallo? You get the picture. I like the stereotype British/French /musician. That's how clishé I am.

Who's your favourite singer or band?
Morrissey/The Smiths. No doubt. I also like David Bowie, The White Stripes, Jimi Hendrix, The Libertines, The Fratellis, The Stroke, The Hives, Led Zeppelin, Pixies, Wolfmother, Tom Waits, The Wombats, The XX, Fleet Foxes, BB Brunes, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, The Kooks.

What's your guilty pleasure?
Music: Eminem. Movies: Wild Child and Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging - THEY'RE BRITISH MKAY?!

What's your favourite movies?
Hm... (Checking mubi.com) The Dreamers, Nowhere Boy, Sweeney Todd, Pulp Fiction, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Cry-Baby, Across the Universe, Driving Lessons, The Virgin Suicides, Edward Scissorhands, I Shot Andy Warhol, The Man Who Loved Yngve (Mannen som elsket Yngve.)

When did you last cry?
Like... really cry? When I watched Tears of Gaza. I didn't realize that I was crying until my scarf was wet. My eyes were soar for days. "When I grow up I want to be a lawyer, so I can take Israel to court."

Favourite person to quote?
The superawesome Bertrand Russel of course. Morrissey's lyricses are also very quoteable. And random quotes from books etc.

... There. I'm starting to get bored now, so I'll end this superawesome post with some SUPERAWESOME DILEMMAS.

Would you rather be rich or healthy? Healthy, not so fond of money really. But wait... would that mean no more chocolate? In that case; rich.
Would you rather be good looking or healthy? Good looking. Again: Not fond of money.
Do you believe in death penalty? Nah. It has, of course, a great preventative function. But I hate the idea of giving up on someone. It would be a terrible message to send out to the world. People can't change, let's just kill 'em. I like the thought of something good in everyone. Or at least: the potential of something good in everybody. Not to mention that it's so... double moralish. And easily misused. And it IS killing. I'm definitely against.
Would you rather have super strenght or super intelligence? Super intelligence! Silly, silly dilemma. The answer is so obvious.
Would you have the power to become invisible or the power to read minds? Well... after Twilight raped the whole "reading minds" thing, I'd say become invisible. To be fair, I'd say become invisible even if Twilight hadn't raped it. I really like secrets, and it would be sad to suddenly know everything. It would invade everyone's personality, and every relationsship would be fake. Of course I could try not to use the power, but I believe I would have been too tempted. And what's the use to have a superpower and not use it? Invisible would be prefect. In PE classes for example, or taking the bus for free. Stalking people... Oh, you would never be safe! I'd hate to be constantly invisible, so it's have to be a power I could switch on and off whenever I wanted. Yup.
Should marijuana be legalized? Orrh, damn! I'm still not sure what I think. I agree and sympatize with all the argumens for legalization, but I'm just not sure.
Would you rather spend the rest of your life without a significant other, or have a partner who's extremely difficult? Okay, this is the best dilemma. I... I... have to think. My first answer was: I'd spend it alone, in peace and quiet. But then... Orh. The best quality in boys in my opinion, is laidbackness. Might be the reason for my Rupert Grint-obsession. I hate when people want to fight all of the time, it wears me out. But we live in a community where "single" is synonym to "uncomplete". Which again could be a reason not to have a partner, to prove them wrong. Hm.. But if I were to live with an extremely difficult partner, it must be because I (for some reason) loved him. Damn, I don't know what to choose. Good dilemma.

... So what do you say, non forever - or someone quite nasty?

Og akkurat idet jeg forteller at jeg skal slutte å blogge, så lager jeg søren meg en ny blogg. I alle fall, nå blogger jeg på: http://petrichorish.blogg.no/! Og ja, jeg vet at navnet er vanskelig, men det er meningen!

Dette er bare deprimerende, men etter at min macbook døde får jeg ikke til å blogge. På min "nye" gamle murstein finnes blant annet ikke iPhoto. Og noe annet enn iPhoto kan jeg selvsagt ikke bruke. Pluss at alt skolepresset gjør at jeg får til mindre og mindre, og jeg har gitt litt opp. Og jeg er syk. Så, tingen er; jeg hopper av bloggingen for en stund. Vel, jeg har egentlig gjort det for lengesiden - men nå sier jeg det. Ikke det at noen kommer til å lese det for jeg har mistet alle mine ca 94 lesere - med et par stk er innom fra tid til annen ser jeg.

Okei, jeg må legge inn noe bra før jeg sier hadet! Min nye favorittblogg  er kjempefin - og jeg leser The Journals of Sylvia Plath. Har så vidt begynt å lese den, men den er fantastisk allerede. At det er en dagbok er ganske ufattelig. Jeg har ikke lest noenting av Sylvia Plath - utenom dette jeg leser nå, men jeg innser at det bør jeg.

Og ja, idag er jeg pictureless.

Thirtyseven.

But if I say that I actually had Shreddies and a mug of tea I start thinking about Coco-Pops and lemonade and porridge and Dr Pepper and how I wasn't eating my breakfast in Egypt and there wasn't a rhinoceros in the room and Father wasn't wearing a diving suit and so on and even writing this makes me feel shaky and scared, like I do when standing on the top of a very tall building and there are thousand of houses and cars and people below me and my head is so full of all these things that I'm afraid that I'm going to forget to stand up straight and hang onto the rain and I'm going to fall over and be killed.

My cello.

This is where I try to practice. 

 
 

This is my cello, it's too small actually. It's size 3/4 and I need a 4/4. I'm going to sell it, so if you known someone who's interested - send me a mail. (agneshamida@operamail.com) I'm going to sell my other cello as well, which is a 2/4 cello - and I'm going to buy a 4/4 cello. So contact me if you know someone who's selling a cello as well.

Down.

I'm still not well, I'm having a really bad cold. Can't even speak understandable. And I have loads to do today. Oh joy. There's so much work at school - I'm totally exhausted. I just want to sleep, but I can't.

There's another thing that annoys me. The background on this computer. It's my favorite picture for the moment, but I have no idea where it's from! If anyone knew I'd be super happy.

 

Anyways, back to this miserable day. 

Must do-list
 - do a whole test in math 'till monday
 - write an entire specialization about diesel
 - write an entire specialization in history

Should do-list
  - buy red knitting yarn to a project, and start the knitting
  - start the project in music

Want to do-list
 - sleep
 - go out and enjoy the sun
 - learn this on the cello, it's beautiful
 - read

Most likely going to do-list
 - stay right here, get nothing done, fail school and develop an even worse headache

Jeez, I'll go get some breakfast and start doing homework now.

Edit: Something good happened. I got a digital camera from my father. It's a Canon EX-Z80, and it's tiny - at least in comparison with my Nikon D40. This one is more pocket size, and even though it won't replace my old one at all, it'll be good to just take with me when I don't bother to bring a bag for example. 

Since you said goodbye, the polka dots filled my eyes..

..and I don't know why. The Libertines. 

 Today I didn't feel very well, so I stayed at home. I continued writing on a story for my english class and I had an iChat conversation with an invisible friend of mine. 

 

Then I fell asleep, and my sister apparently snapped a photo of me. 

 

Someone's going to have to show her the auto focus-botton. Guess that someone will be me. Right now my head is aching, my nail polish is falling off and my tea is cold. Good night.
