I liek Torchics^^,

My two third generation games arrived today^^,
Ruby and Sapphire. I chose Torchic for my starter on my Sapphire game. Of course I'll do the whole start-trade-start over to get all the starters^^, I hope the wireless trading works for GBA games as well.XD
I like Torchic, might be because I like Dawn, but I like Torchic anyway. Mudkips are cute and all, but Torchic is way cuter. And Treecko is mildly cute but Sceptile is a truly foul-looking Pokémon.
Actually all the third generation starters evolve into really ugly Pokémon.
I mean Combusken and Blaziken are cool and all, it's just that... not really. They look weird.
Marshtomp is a total dahling, but Swampert is really fugly.

Seriously thou, the out-of-battle graphics are really bad. I have played ROMS before, but I had totally forgotten just how spectacularly awful they are. I mean, the out-of-battle graphics always was a little bad, but they look all tiny and squashed. The IN-battle graphics are unrivalled in horrifficness in the first generation. I mean, Machop looks like a it could be drawn by a kindergartener XD

I will probably be distracted from my exam-studying today, but my plan is to go back to studying fulltime again tomorrow. At least I'll tryXD

I liek TorchicsXD

I hate exams

I really hate exams...
I have two exams the next month, and I sit down to study, and I just don't... get what I read.
And that makes me stressed.
I managed to get quite a lot of reading done today thou, mostly repetition, but then I go to the bathroom and I look myself in the mirror. Now, I have a nervous habit of picking at zitz and scratching myself and whatnot. And in the mirror I see I have scratched soars on my neck and chest. O.o
I need to get some anti-acne medication. I am have started some new meds, and they make me break out a lot. My forehead I am very careful not to pluck on too much, but my back usually gets pretty beat up...
And now my neck. I have never had zits on my neck before. I think that's why.
Turtle neck for me until exams I think..... TT.TT

CoffeeCoffeeCoffee

See what I did there? I looooove Gilmore Girls!
Oh man! I am so wired right now (oh my, I just realized, that was another Gilmore Girls quote.)
About half an hours ago I have a cup of rrrrrrrrreeeeeaaaaaaaally strong coffee. Whicg does not explain the wired part, until I tell you that it was my super special student thermo cup, filled to the brim, so that's like 4 and half dl of coffee. Really strong. It's like 15,2 fluid ounces of coffee (yeah, I looked it up.) I thought that two packets of instant coffee meant for one cup (2dl) each looked like they would make weak coffee, so I added a little more from a jar, and it just feel out, so it became a little more than a little, so there was probably caffeine for about 6 or 7 dl of coffee in that cup.
Oh man, my hands are shaking.
I am so multitasking right now, I am blogging, and watching Gilmore Girls, and playing Pokémon and I just finished sticking stickers to all my electronic gadgets. So there are Pokémon and Hello Kitty stickers on my DS, and my tv-computer (also known as the old Dell, which I use to watch DVDs these days, while I play on this computer, 'cos I can't anything at all when I have my Gilmore Girls on fullscreen, so I now use the Dell as a tv, sort of XD).
I am gonna wash the kitchen just as soon boyfriend is done baking cinnabons.
Also I drank all the coffee on an empty stomach. So I will probably calm down once I get a cinnabon in me, but then again, there's heaps of sugar in them, so I just might get worse.
Boyfriend use to say that when I wired like this I go spoingspoingspoing like a bouncing ball, just bouncing all over the place, and talk alot, really really fast, so he can't understand what I am saying. Last I got like this was under the OIFF. My friend had fed me a 1 meter long tube of flavoured, coloured sugar. That would be soooooo awesome right now. But I would probably become super fast, like Fry when he has had 300 cups of coffee. You know when he starts to vibrate? I am vibrating like that right now. My entire body is shaking, even my teeth are clattering if I don't clamp them shut.
I feel really good!
I am gonna go scrub something now=D=D=D=D=D

(Man I'm gonna laugh so hard when I reread this when my pulse slows to a normal speed. I am guessing I am waaaayyy more rambly than normal!=D=D=D)

Things I found on youtube^^,



Gil (Sebastian Bach of Skid Row) singing Hollaback Girl. It's the hottest version of this song ever made^^, His voice is so sexyXD (I am a bit sleep-deprived, can you tell?XD)

Okey, next I was going to find the credits for Bitch Slap, with the hot girls you know?
Buuuuuut, I STILL can't find it. Seriously, it's right before I buy the DVD, rip the thing, and post the damned video myself.>=O
If someone can find it for me so that I can embed it, I'll be eternally grateful^^,

Leeeet's see.... What else can we find on youtube?

Oh em gee! Do you remember this one! I loved this song!


I have a tiny obsession with Japanese popprincesses/actresses. Namely Anna Tsuchiya and Mika Nakashima^^,
This is the former^^,
Wow O.o Boy, that takes me back.......



Remember V?
We could sit for hours, reading and listening to her album......


I used to love this song.......
Still do.....


This is the single brightest example of how obsessive I can become about songs.
I saw this video on ZTV, and I got my dad's friend to burn it on a CD for me. So I had a whole CD with only this one song on it. And I had it on repeat, all day. I would sit in my room, doing what-ever listening to nothing but this song. Drove mom crazy.^^, Sorry, mom. Still one of my all-time favourite songs thou^^,


Once upon I had a friend called L (I have many other Ls now, this is a completely different L)
We were the best friends in the entire world. And we would go down Karl Johan, hand in hand, singing this song at the top of our lungs, wearing all black, with tons of make-up on, just having a great time, while everyone stared at us like we were crazy. Which, of course, we both were^^,


This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
Why did I ever stop listening to this kind of music?

Why is it not allowed to listen to both bubblegum dance and orchestral metal?
Makes me sad......

I also used to listen to a spoken word duo called Lille Ulv og Svane around this time. I can't find them on youtube thou. They had the most gorgeous music......

Ooooh! Look-see! I found something fun! Sad nostalgia time over now^^,




German MIA:


Indian MIA:


Beatles:
Warning! It appears to be violence in this particular video. Which is as it should, seeing as there is violence in the song^^,


Tom Lehrer:


More Tom Lehrer:


An entirely different Clementine:

I get goosebumps from this song...^^,

I think I need to stop this showing of my subconscious now^^,
Not because I don't have more, but because I can't think of it right nowXP
I am gonne curl up with my leftover popcorn and listen to all my music now^^,

Edit:
I could think of some more^^,

I love love LOVE this version^^, Too bad Tarja got too greedy. I was never really that into Nightwish, but I lust adore her voice^^,
(I will refrain from posting this song twice and save the Sarah Brightman version for laterXD)

We have Zydrate Anatomy AGIAN^^, It's a must for these kind of posts^^,

Sorry about the slide show, the real video had it's embedding disabled=(
Paris is just too hot in this movieXD


Yeah, I know. Eeeeevrybody had heard this song. But I like it okey?

The Late Isabel


All my friends are tired of Flowers, so we are doing Desert instead^^,



Been kind of obsessed with this song lately. I love this song^^,


And this^^,


I have an entire video in my head for this one. I am gonna make it one day, and it's gonna be really disturbing.


Likewise with this.... I need to learn to animate. Soon.


You know who you are^^,


I love murderballads

Speaking of Nick Cave:


Speaking of twisted lyrics:

I always saw Candy as a really broken little girl putting on a pretty face for the world.


She has really sick lyrics sometimes.
Toned it down a little when she switched labels thou. Which is why all her best songs are on the first album.

(On a side note: I hate EMI! Why on earth should I not be allowed to listen to a Norwegian artist, when I am in friggin' Norway?! Stupid EMI, hate EMI!!!)


I see a ballerina music box falling, mirror shatteing on impact, broken, cracked ballerina, all bloody and messy rising from the wreckage. Anybody want to make music videos with me?

Let the related reel take you strange and wonderful places. Strange anyhowXD



Yeah, I like Aly&AJ. So hate me. See if I care.

Yup... Out of ideas again. Might another edit in ten minutes thou^^,
I am bad at limiting myself^^,

Edit:
Well what do you know. I could think of more^^,


This song still makes me cry....

Well what do you know. I find NANA in the related reel for Maria Mena. I am pleasantly surprised.


I need more non-melancholic music memories. I need to make myself a better past...
(As in being happy now, so that the past I'll have in a couple of years will be better....=j)
Make a happy music memory with me, won't you please?




Typing randomness in the search field can on occasion have wonderful results^^,


luffluffluff^^,


LUFF!!!


Another song that makes me cry... (Figuratively speaking. I rarely cry...)
I discovered her in the metal section. She had been sorted after the V-method. (The male V, not the female. I need to get me some friends who start with different letters....)


luff^^,


LUFFFFFFFF!!!!


I had almost forgotten all about Danzig O.o I used to LOVE Danzig!!!!


I LOVE this song!!! I was obsessed with this song!
I have been obsessed with a lot of songs over the years...O.o




Cue emo memories. I was such a mess at 15.....

I should go to bed.......
I really should.....

Wikipedian vandals. The bottom feeders of society

So I go to look up iambic pentameter on Wikipedia. And some jackass has replaced the entire article with some inane, poorly phrased, and grammatically incorrect one-liner about losing ones marbles.
Why is that fun? How drunk do you have to be to find that funny?
Or do you just have to be really dumb.
I find that stupid people have a great love for their stupidity, and therefore seek to destroy all that threaten to actually help alleviate their glaring stupidity.
Yeah, I realize that I am extremely elitist when it comes to intelligence, but stupid people seriously rub me the wrong way. Extreme stupidity (like Jackass for instance, or certain Republican politicians) make me seriously aggressive.
So yah. Don't ruin Wikipedia please, or I might give in to my desire to hunt you down and hack you into little tiny pieces. I will allow you your stupidity, as long as you don't force feed it to me.

Birthday party^^,

We went to see An Education for my birthday. Almost all my friends were there, even my friend's boyfriends came=D Which was really awesome^^,
The absent friends were sorely missed, but coordinating 18 people to see a movie on a Thursday night is hard. Especially when I find out today that one of my friends have changed her number, and that I have been sending all the messages to a disconnected numberXP
So we went to see An Education, thou a few people short we still had an awesome time^^,

I got some presents, even thou I had told everyone we were not doing presents this year. But I felt really good about it, because it felt really like "we love you so you should have presents", not "you have recently turned 22, so we feel that we have to buy you something". And that was nice.

I got a Happy Birthday Hello Kitty chocolate bar, and 5 cupcake lipglosses, which I will totally have to post pictures of, from my gorgeous little sister^^, She is russ this year, which is a very Norwegian month of partying to celebrate the completion of senior high. It basically consists of being head over heels drunk for about a month. Which, because some politicians about 20 years ago tried to make the russ time be a little less about being drunk for a month, is the month right before exams. It culminates on the Norwegian national day.^^,
Norwegian national day is apparently are very different from other countries' national days. For some reason, most countries thinks that national days are about flaunting the awesome power of their superior armies. I can't for life of me understand why thou.
In Norway we have children's parades, and it's really happy and festive. It's a day when we celebrates how much we love our country, not a day where we go "oh em gee, we are so awesome, we would totally smash the entire world in a war". Why not take your nukes out and parade them around as a token of your awesomeness.
Sorry. Don't mean to rant. Totally not the point of this post^^,'

And then I got a pink plaid mini-dress (which I am going to wear a lot this summer, damned be cold weather! I will wear my birthday dress!!!^^,), and a pink bento box with printed bows on it, which matches a set of chopsticks I bought at the same time that I bought the heart-shaped maki mold that I wrote about a while back, and a Hello Kitty maki mold that works the same way as said heart-mold, from the Gachas staying abroad. Thank you M and IS.=D=D
Super fun!!!^^,

Anyway, we saw An Education.
It was so sweet, super sweet. I could see it again about 5 times the next month kind of sweet^^,
It's about a 16 year old girl and an older (possibly around 40, his age was never mentioned that I could hear) that falls in love. She is bored with school, bored with her boy, bored with life. He is exiting, he swirls her away, into a life of glamour and fun. Cue complications.
It's based on a true story.
Carey Mulligan plays the female lead, and she does it absolutely wonderfully. She has the same waif-like quality as Audrey Hepburn, and she has the same bubbling lively quality about her as Alexis Bledel. She can very easily become my favourite actor in the whole wide world.
To any and every film-anything, please use this actress! Make her the lead of EVERYTHING! Help her become a great actress!
I gotta find all her other movies tomorrow!

I bought the super duper mega giga sized popcorn, because, well, I wanted popcorn. And it was my birthday party, so I bought the humongous popcorn, and now I know what I am having for breakfast tomorrow. And lunch. And dinner. And supper. For a week. Just about^^,
Gonna go beddy bye now^^,

Seriously?

Why on earth do they put lactose in anti-histamine tablets?
So I think I have gotten something in me that had nuts in it. I ate some chocolate earlier, it doesn't have an allergy warning for nuts, but you never know. I go around feeling queasy for a couple of hours, because I forgot my allergy pills at home, so I go and buy some. They help on queasyness, but I get slight stomach-cramps instead. So I check the instruction booklet. And what do you know? "These pills contain lactose."
So just trade one sort of discomfort for another?
I should have checked before I took them, so it's my own fault.
Oh well....

My eating habbit, my business

I watched a Petrilude video on youtube just now.
It's a tutorial about how to make hip/butt padding for drag artists. (Some of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen have started out as men BTW. So NO hating of drag artists or transsexuals please. They don't want to hear it, and I don't want to hear. So just don't, okey?)
It's kind of immaterial what the video is about thou, because what I want to talk about is that he felt he had to start his video with a "I know I am skinny, don't tell me I need to eat" comment.
And it seems ridiculous to me that a comment like that is needed, that he really needs to request that people should not make those comments. The result being a lot of "so true, so tired of that sort of comment"-comments. Which shows just how necessary his commenting on that was.

Now, I have a freakin' awesome body. I am so happy with my body you just wouldn't believe it. But I wasn't always like that. I have never had an ounce too much fat anywhere on my body, but all the little bitches in elementary school pinching their non-existing tummies going "oh em gee, I am so FAT, I soooooo need to diet", they kind of made an impression on me. I decided at one point that anything over 40 kilos was too heavy. I totally freaked when I weighed 42 at an age of 13. Needless to say I was on the fast-track into anorexia. Then I got committed for something else entirely, and I luckily avoided the anorexia.
But it's still hard to tell myself that 60 kilos is an acceptable weight. I still struggle with this need to be thin. Even if I know when I look in the mirror, and I see just how amazing my body is, it hurts a little when I look on weight and it says 60 kilos.
(And please don't call me vain, because I need to be a little vain to not get all diet-crazy. Please allow me my little vanity^^,)

Which is why I get so incredibly annoyed when people get tell other people to eat more or less, because it so entirely not their business.
I have had friends both on the heavy and skinny side during my time, and none of them has had abnormal eating habits. My best-friend is skinny as a rail (incredibly hot, but still thin) and she eats just as my as I do. A little healthier than me (I eat like a total pig XD), but still just as much.
Studies have showed that you need actual nutrients to put on weight anyway. The absolute skinniest people can eat their own weight in BigMacs but still don't put on any weight.

Point being that it's really none of anybody's business what anybody else eats or weigh.
Besides all my friends are drop dead hotties (seriously, I don't surround my self with fugly girls). There are hot ass-sets and breast-sets and hourglass waists all over the place=D
(And I am bi, so I aught to knowXD) You are hots girlies^^, I would do you all any dayXP

But but but... Celebii!!!!!

So, can anyone give me a good reason why I should not go to Japan for a couple of days at the end of summer to get event-only shiny legendary beasts? And a special event-only Celebii?
Japan is hella expensive, so I wouldn't really be able to stay for more than a week tops, but it's shiny event-only Pokémans!!!! I wants them!!!
Some please give me a good reason not to do something rash, like ordering tickets to go to Japan for about two days, enough time to get my Pokémon, but nothing more, 'cos that's all I can afford. I WANTS them!!!!!!!!!!

Do I write a pornografic blog? Google seems to think so

One of the funnest things I know about Google Analytics is the section where they tell me what search words people have used and ended up at my blog with.
And while I can certainly see the trends change when I write posts about different things, the two things that I get most hits on are searches about various pink and/or fluffy things, and porn. A lot of porn with underage girls actually.
I find this really scary sometimes. A lot of it aren't for specified age groups, and I have never gotten hits for actual children's pornography. But once in a while there pops up the request for teen age porn.
And a few of the hits I get. After the Bitch Slap review I got hits on teen strip videos (and I will probably get some more now), after the post about the new kiddie porn laws in Australia I got hits for young boobs (and I will get more for that line=/), and I am sitting here and asking myself: Where do I draw the line? I have a lot of respect for the personal lives of other people, and I don't want to but in and make them criminals for something that I personally don't find wrong. (Yes I find the exploitation of underage girls wrong, they shouldn't be in porn, but for a young looking 20-something porn actress to present herself as 17 doesn't not seem that awful to me.)
I am terribly opposed to the way some countries, especially the US, treat their "sexual offenders", mostly because the vast majority of these people have not abused anyone at all. In Illinois it's illegal to have any kind of sexual relations with anyone under 18, even if you are under 18 yourself. This means that a 17 year old couple making out, and possibly going to second base, can get slapped with a "statutory rape"-charge, go to jail, get on the sex offenders list, and have their lives destroyed. Just because they like each other in more than a platonic kind of way.
It's hella hypocritical anyway, because while the male usually get his life completely ruined forever, the lady hardly ever gets more than a slap on the wrist, even thou what she did was just as illegal as what he did.
So I don't want to do that some poor person who just happens to like young girls, and who even might be a teenager themselves and just want to look at girls their own age.

But at some point I might get an age specific hit for someone way to young. Someone who should not be seen naked by anyone except for themselves in the shower. Where does that line go? Where do I draw the line for what I can deal with? At what point do I alert someone about it? Do I ever?
It's kind of hard for me to know what to do with this. It has been an increasing problem in my head. I could take the posts down, but I would feel like I was the criminal if I did that. And I am not. I don't spread kiddie porn, and I certainly don't approve of it.
I don't really know where I am going with this post....
I think that maybe if anyone could... I don't know... Help me figure out where the line goes... When and if I should ever report anything at all. If I should take anything down.
There isn't any porn here. The most pornographic thing I have here is the Bitch Slap trailer, and that is just T&A, of obviously adult women.
My mom reads this blog! I wouldn't post porn here if you payed me. This isn't that kind of blog. (Oh, and I just remembered to boobies and kitties videoXP)
So any opinions anyone?

(And there is really a lot of people out there searching for Tinkerbell porn. I was always more of a Jasmine girl myselfXP)

Pokégasming so hard right now XD

They are releasing Generation 5 in Japan this fall. And I want it so bad I can literally taste it!
They have amped up the gorgeous 3D graphics, it soooooo PRETTY!!!!
Go see for yourself^^, Pokémon Black and White *fangirling all over everywhere*XD XD
I have not been able to find out almost anything, except that it's gonna be for the normal DS console, and not for the 3DS. This is the first time ever they have released two generations for one console. And now don't you come here and wave first and second generation in my face, because the first were for the regular GameBoy, and the second were released in gorgeous full colour for the GameBoy Color.

Oh Em GEEEEEEE!!!!

Okey, breathe....

So I started to tally my collection again.
And I own 23 games. Which would seem a lot... Well, it IS a lot. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time and money on this little hobby of mine, but we need to look at the big picture here. I have been collecting since '98. And it's been a good 12 years^^, We do of course not talk about the Dark Ages. (Another name for the Dark Ages is of course the Teen Age Years. Which was when I went goth and became to "cool" for my biggest passion in the world. We do not talk about these years. Except to sulk about the humongous hole they caused to appear in my Pokémon collection='C )

I am missing 9 games. I have about 70% complete collection.
I am missing the entire 3rd generation (damn those Dark Ages. Most wasted years of my entire life. Puberty should be outlawed....). Which are 5 games.
And then I am missing Green. Which was only released in Japan. This makes it kinda hard to come by, but I am going to have it. I need it for my complete collection.
That completes the list of the main games that I miss. 6 games in total.

Then there is the spin-off games.
Of which I am missing:
Trading Card Game GB 2. Which was also a Japan Only release.
Pokémon Pinball Ruby & Sapphire
And Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (Which I can go out and buy whenever I feel like it. I would too, if it wasn't so ridiculously expensive in Norway=/)

9 games in total. Plus Black and White when they are released in Japan in the fall. That will make it 11.

I actually during the research for this blogpost (yah, I occasionally research my blogpostsXD) I actually managed to track down both of the Japan Only games to prices that I can afford. Without even having to skimp on almost anything. I can totally do without mushroom soup for a couple of months, and I buy no clothes or books almost at all already. (I have way too many book that I have not read yet anywhoXD)
So I am buying them for myself as a exam-gift for myself^^,
And before you go off about regional restrictions, it's not an issue. All handheld Nintendo consoles are regional-restriction free^^,

Oh em gee! I am so fangirling out over this!!!! Breathe.
Gonna go play SoulSilver now. You know, to tide me overXD



(And before anyone goes off about the ridiculous amounts of time and money I have put into this obsession, or want to ridicule me for having it in the first place I just want to say this:
It's the only hobby I have, and have ever been able to maintain interest in. They don't take up very much room, and unlike games like WOW I can put them away without missing out. I can go months without them if I have to. They are the only things I have that I will never get rid of except if I ever get extremely strapped for money, and then I will cry, probably for weeks on end. They are my childhood and they have gotten me through some of the darkest times in my life. Even during the Dark Ages I would sometimes sneak away and play Pokémon to calm myself down, and remember better days. They mean an incredible lot to me, and I don't think it's stupid or childish of me to want to complete this one collection. I would much rather collect these games than some other random thing. V collects bunnies and L collects cows. We collect things that mean something to us and that are special to us. I collect Pokémon. If you think it's childish or stupid or wasteful I simply do not want to hear it. Some people think that I am too old, and that I should grown out if it soon, and I think that is as stupid as expecting my mom to stop quilting. So yah. If you have anything to say except "yay! Pokémon! Cool!" I do not want to hear it. I am tired of being looked down at for this. So if you don't like it, you can just skip the Pokémon posts here on this blog, and you can hold your tongue, because I am simply not interested. I am a Pokémaniac, and I am damn proud of it!)

Internet is the scariest place on earth

Never mind disturbing videos like "One guy one screwdriver" or scary websites like the various religious extremist sites, be that Christian, Muslim, Jew, or the religion of the Great Spaghetti Monster. Never mind the unending supply of really disturbing things online. The scariest thing on the Internet is the past.
Over my long Internet carrier I have been found a lot of places by a lot of people. I have met people I know or knew in real life in the strangest places.
And then I joined FaceBook. And FaceBook is, in my experience, a place totally dedicated to finding network with people that you know or knew.
I have been discovered and added by the strangest people. People I haven't talked to for years, and sometimes people that I knew for really short periods of time.
And I always accept. I have no idea why. It's sort of like a morbid curiosity I think. Some kind of need to know what is going on with these people I had some kind of relationship with years ago.
We usually don't talk, we don't catch up in any way, we just sit there, in each others friend lists.
And I kind of like that, for some reason. It makes me feel connected to the past that I left behind. The life I couldn't have.
That being said I have the most horrendous friends list ever. If know maybe 5% of them. The rest are game-friends. People that I have added for games, and that I don't know, and that are blocked from actually seeing my profile.
I think I need to clean it up soon, but I really want the advantages they give me in said games.
Yeah, I am a Playfish addict^^,
Fortunately I have not been added by any people I really don't want contact with yet. We all have them, and I really don't want contact with them.
I occasionally look for people I used to know, but I don't add them for some reason.

Internet is seriously scary. It's the place where your past catches up to you.....

First sun burn of the season

In April. That is a new record for me^^,

I spent the day at my grandma's today. And the weather was lovely. So after eating giganitc amounts of lunch (you know how grandma's are^^,) and drinking eaqually gigantic amounts of cocoa (my grandma makes the best cocoa in the entire universe. Also she is an amazing cook, so her breads are to die for and it's mostly my own fault I eat too much when I am there, simply because everything to entirely too delicious to say no too^^,), we went out on the patio to sit in the sun.
And then we stayed there for a couple of hours, just soaking up the heat and producing D-vitamins, and we had coffee. And I didn't realize I am now the proud owner of a chest the colour of a boiled lobsterXD
It's not so burned that it hurts, and I don't think I will do any huge amounts of flaking, but I now have a tan(or burn)-line^^,
Also, my collarbone is a bit hot to the touch, just like a very mild sunburn.
Great thing thou, is that usually, after I am done being red I turn tan, so in a about a week and a half, I will have a nice tan in my face and chest^^,

So, I have broken all my tan-line records^^, 14th of April^^, YAY^^,

Soon there will be exams....

I need to study for my exams. I try my very best to study for my exams, but there is some sort of issue, residing presumably, between the chair and the book.
I take up my books, and stare at them for minutes on end, and then my hand moves toward the keyboard on it's very own, types F and hits enter, and then I trapped in a maze of FaceBook games and the books are completely forgotten. Once in a while, if said hand wants to mix it up it types Y, and I am instantly lost amidst videos of cute kittens, videos teaching Japanese or drawing or make-up, or videos of awesome Asian supergroups.
Yesterday my brain decided that UrbanDictionary needed the definition of mine and my friends inside expression for changing the subject of a conversation: Apropos kjøttkaker. (My dad makes the best meatballs (or meatcakes rather) in the world^^,)
About five minutes ago the hand decided to check how many hits this blog had gotten today, and then went on to decide that I had gotten entirely too few, and that that was probably due to the fact that I haven't updated since Friday. Hence this post.

I had originally inteded to sit down with Gacha-L and study today, but there was an issue with the train and she could not make it. We'll catch up thou^^,
The result was ofcourse that my pesky hand have only wanted to play on FaceBook.
I think I have proven beyond any hint of doubt that the problem most definetly resides between the chair and the books.

I have been walking some today thou. 11k steps. I have started to walk to and from school. I takes a good 40 minutes, but the fresh air and sun really feels good^^, Also it gets me lots of watt for my Pokéwalkers^^,
For some reason, my Pokéwalker did not want to unlock Hoenn Field this morning, even thou I have transferred more than 5000 watts to my SoulSilver game. I will see later thou, but I might have to beat Elite Four first. That is my current thoery anyway. I should be able to have them beat by the weekend at least. I can have them beat today, but I trying not to play for several hours every day. It distracts me from the exam-cramming I supposed to be doing.

I could ofcourse leave the computer at home, but I need to look up things that I don't understand.

I really love spring. It's almost half past 5 and the sun is still high in the sky.^^,
I left my jacket at home this morning, it was a little chilly walking to school, but not freezing, but then I remembered that I have to walk home (or ride the Metro) at 8PM tonight, and that might be cold, so I had to go home and get it.
I am thinking of popping home to my parents sometime this week to get my spring jacket.

I think I am going to at least try to read a bit today. I have actually gotten some reading done today, but there's no way in hell that I am going to get through everything if I keep going at this pace. Especially if you take into consideration that I have only started on one of my subjects.

If anyone have a study tips I would love to hear them.
I all have is trying to write mock-ups of exam papers and eating lots of sushi. (You know, because Omega3 is supposed to be good for your memory^^,)

Kick Ass

You know you are desensitivized when an 11 year old girl slings a wire around a guys hand, loops it around his head, and yanks, making him shoot his own brains out the top of his head with his own gun, and the first thing going through your mind is is "I sure hope the books in the background doesn't get ruined". Yeah, it's that kind of movie.

It's an absolute orgy of blood and mayhem.
In the intro of Hit Girl and Big Daddy (daugther and father, of course), Big Daddy tells Hit Girl that at close range a gun shot will fling her (her being small and all. Seeing as she is about 11) a couple of feet. And then he shoots her in the chest.

I don't know if I will bother to lay out the plot for you all that much, but it's basically:
Guy diggs comicbooks. Guy wonders why nobody tries to be superheroes. Guy decides he wants to try. Guy beats up thugs. Guy gets his face plastered all over internet. Cue bloody violence for the next hour.

The violence was gorgeous. The blood was absolutely everywhere, and thou the first couple of fightscenes seem realistic enough, it soon morphed into full fledged, coreographed, bloody fightscenes that would give Jason Statham a run for his money.

I should have put this at the very top, but my scrolling finger is not in the mood. This movie is not for the weak stomached. The first bad-guy scene features the sound of a guy getting his finger cut of, the second has the visuals of a guy being toasted in a giant micro-wave-oven, until he pops like a popcorn.
I don't really even feel that I am going to ruin the movie for you by telling you these things. They are all in the first 20 (or so) minutes of the movie, and it just gets better and better (read: bloodier and bloodier).

The plot was a little lacking thou. The minute all the characters are done being presented you know exactly how they are all going to end up and how the movie is going to end.
But the plot was insanely believeable, and I could not detect a single plot-hole.
So while it was a tad predictable, it was natural.
Everyone developed in a fashion that seemed natural. They developed the way I think I would have developed under the same circumstances. Things seem to be going one way, but then something happens, and instead of stubborly sticking to the planed development (like so many movies do) the characters adapt to the turn in the plot the exact same way I would have.
It really bugs me when some excecutive producer sets his foot down and goes "we want this to happen in the movie, but we want the character to end up like this. And we don't give a rats flying arse wether you can make these two things work together in a believeable fashion, we have the money, and therefore the power, so you just be nice little movie-makers and as we say". And this was nowhere to be seen in this movie.
Where the plot twisted, the character twisted with the plot, not in a different direction and they did not fly in a straight line toward their previously assumed destination.


Trailer can be found below the rather lengthy musing about how we have a screwed up idea of what is damaging to young children.
What age-group a movie is recommended for and why is a tell-tale sign of a nations view on, well just about anything.
It's an intensely graphic movie, where some of the heroes kill in cold blood. An eleven year old girl has the highest bodycount in the entire flick.
But since she swears, it got an R rating in the states.
In Norway it got 15. (We state the age in Norway. And we make sure that the agelimit is observed in all theaters. So 15 means you have to be 15 if you are going unsupervised, and you can be down to 12 if you are accompanied by an adult. 18 means 18. Period. The can card you for any age group if they think you look too young, and some friends of mine back in junior high was refused admission to a 15-age movie when they were 13 because they didn't think to bring an adult.)
In France it got a PG rating.

I wonder what this says about our society, when the fact that an eleven year girl says the word "cock" is deemed inapropriate, but the fact that she off-handedly shoots and kills an unconcious man isn't?
And mind you that was only in America that was considered inapropriate. In Norway it got 15 due to the blood and the violence.

The fact that we let 12-13 year old children see these things (younger even in the US, as it's only guidelines for parents to take into consideration, and not actual rules) is very telling of the way our minds work. We adults need to remember that children don't separate reality from fiction in the same way as we do. And I certainly don't think it's wrong to show this to pre-teens, I just think that you need to sit your kids down and explain that it is a movie, it's not real, and they can't go around doing these things themselves, becuase they will (not might, will) get themselves killed.

I do think that this movie is going to have a greater impact on the impressionable minds of young children than lets say SpiderMan or X-Men. And that is because they see themselves.
They see a hopeless dork, with hopeless friends, and no lovelife what so ever, that one day just up and decides to become a superhero, and succeeds.
What they don't see is that the first time he tries to stop the bad guys he almost gets killed. He should have died, but for some reason he lives, and that is what they are goint to see. They would die in this situation, and they will if they try.
And you need to sit your kids down and explain that to them if you are going to show them this movie. It's fiction. And even thou KickAss an HitGirl basically kicks ass, they are not real. And what they do, can not and should not be reproduced. By anyone. Ever.

People show things like this to their kids, and then they wonder why violence increases. They blame the videogames and Marilyn Manson, when they should maybe think a little bit about what they let their kids see at a young age.
Kids will act by their parent's example, and by not reacting to these levels of extreme violence you make sure that your kids never will.
This movie is not for 5-year-olds, people.

I don't know why I devolved into a lesson in morals like this. It mostly that I know for a fact that some parents are going to take their 5-year olds to see this movie. and they are going to upset about the swearing.
It happened with WatchMen, and it will happen with KickAss. I will not be amused at all when I read about the myriads of parents complaing that the girl has a bad case of potty mouth to the cinema staff, when the cinema staff tried their absolute best to discourage them to bring the 5 year olds into this movie due to the blood and violence.
I will just be sad.

That said, if you enjoyed movies like Crank, Shoot Them Up, Transporter, you are going to have a gay ol' time indeed at this movie.
If you are looking for something like Ironman or Batman you are looking in the wrong place, but I do think you should stay seated thou, because this movie rocks.
It's a superhero movie like you have never seen before, and it is freakin' awesome.

Warning. Redband trailers. Mature audiences only
I don't expect anyone to actually care, but don't come say I didn't warn you
(and if you think the trailers are a little on the edge of what you can handle, I suggest you stay clear of the whole flick, because the redband trailers are toned down ALOT from the actual movie. Enjoy^^,)




Why South Korea ROCKS MY PANTS!!!!

Forget about super groups. You can take any fifteen guys and have them dance any day, I will never be impressed by anything less than a couple hundred inmates dancing at once EVER AGAIN.
South Korea just plain ROCKS!!!!




Okey, so I am so scared of zombies I am sometimes afraid to go out when it's dark, so the intro to this one freaked me out. I am seriously cold-sweating and shaking right now, and I skipped it once I saw the twitching walking men. Yeah, just laugh, I am used to it. God, my heart is beating right out of my chest O.o
But: It's Michael Jackson!

Took the video down. You can find it yourself if you need to see it. It was Thriller performed by the same inmates that did the video above.

And in case you wonder, I skip every Weregeek story line with zombies, if recurring zombie characters appear in anything, I stop reading or watching whatever it is.
Reapers can make my scream, and I have recurring nightmares about them.
I have to cover my eyes if I walk past Sense and sensebilities and Zombies in a bookstore.
My chest hurts right now, because I was stupid enough to not switch the thriller video off and I accidentally switched over to it. Luckily I have flashblock thou, so even thou you can enjoy the inmates being zombies I can just not load it.
I wil probably take it doen when I get home thou.

And yes, I know damned well that Reapers are not Zombies, but they are alike enough that I freak out if I am a little fragile that day.

Seriously, the cover of Shawn of the Dead scare the heck out of me.

Aaaaaand, I am babling, that si how freaked I am right now.

And M, I am so grateful that you are taking the zombies out of the D&D, you have no idea. I got scared just talking about them that night. I am not exagerating here.
Just the idea of zombies freak me out. So thank you.

And whoever shows up to any Halloween party I might hold as a zombie won't even be let in until they go home and change.

Seriouly... My hands are shaking.

Why I love Datakjeden

Yeah, S, I know that you are way less than impressed with Datakjeden, but I think they are the most awesome webshop EVER.^^, Let's agree to disagree, ne?

So I wrote yesterday that my computer broke, and then started working again. Just like that.
So I sent a rather upset email to Jørn, who is the tech dealing with case over Datakjeden, explaining how frustrated I am with this, and how I really can't be without a computer this close to my exams, and how, if my computer really breaks down it would be a catastophe, and how I can't really afford to pay the fee if I send it in and it's not really broken.
I got an answer today, from a very concerned and understanding Jørn. He wants me to send my computer in to be looked at on monday (becuase it's obviously not feeling well and you can't have it fail on you right before your exams), and in the mean time, while it is getting fixed I get to borrow a computer from Datakjeden, so that I won't be without a computer, and so that I can study for my exams.
He seems as frustrated with this as I am, and he totally understand how awful this is for me.
And seriously, it really is awful. I spent my study fund on this computer, money that my parents have saved up for me for many years. And then it just breaks over and over. I cried. I am not ashamed to admit it. When it broke the first time I cried, when I got it back, after almost two months, and it was still broken, I cried. And when the screen just went black, and it told me I didn't have an OS (Windows) yesterday, I litterally shook with tears.

I am starting to develop a strong hate for this computer (which resulted in a rather graphic poem over at Deranged Poetry), and I will never buy anything labeled Acer EVER AGAIN.
Yes, I know I was told to go with Dell or HP, but they just could not match the battery time (which was the main reason I bought this hunk of junk in the first place) within my price range.
And in any case it was the harddrive that failed, and that can happen to any computer at all. If the harddrive fails, it does so within the first three months. Which mine did.

It is mostly the treatment I have gotten with Acer that appals me. (yeah, you've all heard it, but I am going there again)
It took them a month to fix the damned thing (the rest was used on mailing it back and forth and the diagnostics Datakjeden performed to find out what was wrong in the first place). And I understand that they have a lot to do, and that they get backlogged, so I acept that, it's just annoying is all.
But when I get the computer back and it's still broken. Yes, the new harddrive works, but not in my computer, as the device drivers was probably not for my model, but another model which uses the same harddrive.
Jørn tried to fix it for me, but it was little he could do, so he directed me to Acer. Where they talk to me like I am a blasted idiot, and I probably killed the damned thing myself.
And did I remember to tell you that Acer refuses to fix anything at all, if it's sent back in anything but the original packaging with ALL the parts and papers it came with, but that they don't send it all back? I got my computer back wrapped in poorly taped bublewrap, with the power cord lying loose on top and the screen cover crumpled in a corner. Jørn was amazed actually. He said that that is not the way it's supposed to be done.

So the stupid second tech I got to talk to at Acer (the first one told me to run the test that made Jørn tell me to call them directly in the first place, again) listen to the things that I tell him and then goes quiet for a couple of minutes, asking for my information from time to time. Then he tells me that he has sent me an RMA number so that I could send the laptop in and they could fix it. And that's when I told him in no uncertain terms exactly what I thought of sending my computer back so that they coulod spend another month installing my OS, when I am perfectly able to run a freakin' recovery disc, which was what I asked him for in the first place.
So he very meekly told me he had transfered me to the recovery department, who would send me a form that I had to fill out, and return to them, and only then would they send me any recovery disks. I don't get why they can't just send them to me, it's not like they work on any other computer than my model with my herdware.
That was last tuesday or wednesday, and I haven't heard from them yet.

So yah. I effing HATE Acer.

Why my birthday sucks...

I am so upset right now, I just want to lay down and cry.
You know the nice new computer that I had to borrow money from my study-funds to buy, right?
The one that broke after a month? The one that it took stupid Acer almost two months to fix? The one that I got back with no Windows, and that we had to crack a Windows so that I could use at all while we wait for Acer to send us the disks with the legal Windows (which I still have not gotten)?
It broke again today. It's been less than two weeks since I got it back, a glorified papaerweight, and now it's back to paperweight status.
I hate Acer with all my black little soul right now. My wonderful new machine, that I was going to use for school, just dies and dies and dies, over and over again. I just want to throw the damned thing in an industrial shredder.
And to top that off, it's my birthday. I am turning 22 today, and here I sit, crying, with a broken computer. At least I didn't lose any important data this time.
This is why my birthday sucks.

EDIT:
And then for some reason, when we do diagnostics the damned thing just decides to start running again. I am still calling Acer tomorrow thou, to tell them to hurry the hell up with my discs, and to ask what to do when the harddrive fails again. Because the two things that can have caused this are: the harddrive is failing (again), or some device drivers are doing mortal combat, because without the damned discs we cannot be completely sure we have the right ones.
I do repeat thou, do NOT buy from Acer. EVER

Home at last

I've been home since about 8, I think.
I've had a shower, brushed my teeth a couple of times (genius that I am I forgot my toothbrush at home), I slept for hours a couple of times, and when awake I have been watching Gilmore Girls and played Pokémon. I am a little behind you see, I have owned my game for a week and three days and I have not reached the Indigo Plateu yet, but I beat Clair today, so if I should be able to have the Elite Four all beat by Wednesday.

God, I am so tired. I have a crack in my hand, due to dehydration, I think. My hands and feet were so dry this morning you have no idea. I am apparently not good at remembering to drink when at demo parties. Or eat for that matter. Or sleep.
So I am tired. But I ate a roll earlier, and I have had some chips so I am not hungry anymore.XD

Also, my head hurts. I am so tired... I think I am going to go to bed...
Maybe, I am too tired to think...

But I have Cool American Doritos, so I am good^^,

Sleep deprivation makes cute girls cuter^^,

No, I am for once not talking about myself.
There's this competition up the big screen, the how-good-coordination-do-you-have kind^^,
And there's this one girl up there, and she keeps screwing up, and laughing at herself, and generally being adorable^^,
Just thought I'd share^^,

Today I hate gamers

Yeah, I know that a vast majority of my friends are gamers, but I like to believe you are polite gamers, who when the Demo showing is going on, will turn down your music so that it does not bother the people who actually want to look at (and hear) the awesomeness that apperently is beyond the grasp of the feeble minds possessed by the gamers here at The Gathering 2010.
Loathesome, foul children, the lot of them.
Is it really necessary to have your speakers blaring the worst music known to man when people are trying to watch art?
Seriously, today I loathe, I despise gamers.
Foul little children, the lot of them.

DemoScener's Oscar Awards

So apparently there's an Oscar type award for DemoSceners. It's called Scene.org awards (unless it's called something elseXP).
It's just finished at BreakPoint in Germany, and we got it live here at TG^^, Which was fun^^,
There wrere lot of awesome nominees, and all the winners were well deserving^^,
It's awesome that they stuff like this. I want to be up on that stage somedayXP Fat chanceXP But I am allowed to dream rightXP

Oh, and it's allowed to consume alcohol at BreakPoint. I saw alot of underwear tonightXP

DemoScener's Oscars Awars

Rude Dude Resolved

For those of you who saw the Rude Dude post before I took it down, because I thought it was too agressive, the matter has resolved itself. We did not get him to move, but I found somewhere else to sit, still next to boyfriend.
My computer is up and running again (yeah we dowloaded windows, but it's my right! I have legally paid for windows, and it's acer's fault that I don't have a legally installed version right now. Send it back, my behind), but I'll still be mostly unreachable thou, because I will be playing with Blender^^,
(Which is a 3D modelling program, in case you did not know^^, I am already Noctural's main lightpainter, but I plan to become their 3D modeller also. I plan to make myself indespensibleXP)

The Gathering 2

So I gave up on the whole "not sleeping for 24 hours"-idea.
First I slept a couple of hours on the concrete at the stands, and then I slept a couple of hours at my desk with boyfriend's sleeping bag as a pillow. As you can probably guess, I'm hella tired.
But the blaring speakers have calmed down, and there's someone a couple of rows over playing techno remixes of songs I like, which is really cool^^,
We are going to enter another contest and then we are going out for breakfast. I'm gonna drink a gallon of coffee, I swearXP

The Gathering

So I have been up for 18 hours and have eaten next to nothing today. Or, I have eaten some chocolate.
We arrived an hour and a half ago, and thus far my only impression of TG is that it is noisy and flashyXP
There are strobe lights, blaring speakers and people absolutely EVERYWHERE.
Anyone who really knows me should be damn impressed I'm not cowering in a corner right nowXP
It's just about everything that freaks me out at once^^,
Social training is important thou, which is why I'm here in the first place.
Oh, and the photo contest. Which I took second place in^^, So hah XD
The prize was lame thou, a t-shirt and a mousepad^^, None of which I need, and seeing as they didn't actually have any girl-fit shirts, do not particularly want, but I WON SOMETHING. Yay us, right L? We rule^^,
So now I'm sitting at boyfriend's computer while he is off photographing^^,
I am running the drunken singing list on full volume on my pink skullcandy headphones to drown out all the other noise and writing this blogpost.

The lights are purdy thou^^, Even if they make my head hurtXP
I'm guessing it will be better when they turn the lights on in the morning.

The prospects for Pichu is looking up thou (she might need a new name now thou, seeing as she has a new harddrive and therefore is basically almost brand new again. Since I have to set her up again with my settings and programs and everything).
We are downloading Windows 7 of the net, and installing that. And before you go report me to whatever stupid people that you would report this to: I am using my own product key, which I payed for, and if you are going to report anybody at all, you can damned well report Acer, who sent my computer back BROKEN in the first place *glares*

Yeah, I've been up for 18 hours, can you tell?XP

Maxwell's Silver Hammer is the most genius song ever written.^^, My Norwegian textbook in junior high said the Beatles only wrote half-assed love songs. They obviously had not heard Beatles. It's one of the most deviously innocent murder songs I have ever heard. At least the Curse of Milhaven sounds evolXP
Beatles definitely rank up there with Bertine Zetlitz and Kaizers Orchestra^^,

Meh, my stupid armband thingy is really annoying=/

I have been up for 18 hours, and I plan to stay up another six, so expect more nonsensical blogposts during the night^^,

Yeah, and until my own 'puter is up and running, this will be the only thing I will do at a computer seeing as I have to borrow boyfriend's computer, and I guessing he wants to use it himself at some point during the nightXP
So no mail, no facebook, and no msn on me until I have my own toy to play onXP

Oh and one more thing before I go hunting for something containing ridiculous amounts of sugar and caffeine, TG has a nautical theme this year, so there are giant Tentacruels having from the ceiling, and Tentacools on stage.
And if you are here and the thought did not occur to you, you are most certainly the wrong kind of nerdXD

Hell has frozen over

Tinkerbell likes country.
Boyfriend discovered this country singer called Miranda Lambert, and she's awesome. No Jenny Hansen at all. (In case you are not Norwegian, Jenny Hansen is the most awful country singer known to man. But if you like her, that's cool, I am not judging, I just don't.)
Here's my favourite song so far=D=D



It's called gunpowder and lead, and it has the most awesome quote ever: "His fist is big, but my gun is bigger." Seriously you need to listen to the lyrics in this song^^,

So yah, Hell has frozen over^^,
