Rory on the Obama campaign trail

You know the funniest, sharpest, quickest show on TV?
Full of jokes and references to obscure pop culture. Which gets better and better each time I watch it, 'cos I get more of the references each single time.
They also predicted Obama for president. The whole show ended in 07 with Rory going off to follow Barak Obama on his campaign trail. This before he even decided to go for president.
I just heart Gilmore Girls so much <3<3

Cool Schoolthings I have bought

I am a little late with this post, as school have been in session for a while, but I bought some cool stuff, as I always do at the start of the school year. Sorry about the pictures being crooked, I hate blogger's picture upload feature, I have to flip all pictures every which way on my computer before they turn up right, and honestly I am too lazy today.

These first  pictures are my book of spells day planner. It came wrapped in a article about Albus Dumbledore. Isn't it neat?
It has a page per day, and it's all tidy and a nice size=D

These are my notebooks. They were way different size than I thoughXP
But I'll find some use for them^^,
They came in a plastic sleeve with a "Plans for Global Domination" paper plate for stiffness.
Cute, neh?^^,

Going on a saving spree

So I might have a shopping addiction. I don't like to buy stuff, or clothes. And it's not the satisfaction of spending money, I hate being broke, which is what happens when you spend too much money, as we all know. It's more that I like owning a lot of books. It's not the buying that does it for me, it's the owning. The owning of ways to spend my time. Of books and movies and music and games. It's at the point where I'd rather spend 800kr on books than spend 300 on a new pair of jeans. On top of that I keep giving my clothes away or actually tossing them, due them not fitting, being ruined or simply belonging to another life.
I also spend a lot of money on nice smelling soaps, bath fizzers, shampoo bars, and other nice smelling beauty stuff. I have become almost addicted to smelling good and pampering boyfriend and myself, and it just costs too much.
This cannot continue.
And then the boyfriend decided that he is taking me shopping in Stockholm for my birthday. And for that I need money.
So until my birthday I am going on a saving spree^^,
This means that I am not gonna buy books, movies or games. I am gonna use up all of my soaps and such before buying more, but I have to be allowed to clean myselfXP
But lets be honest, I have books. I have movies. And I have games. I have not seen, read or played about half of it. No, untrue, I have not read most of it, and have seen nearly all of it, but I just keep watching my favourite movies over and over anyway, and I have played all of my DS games, except one, which I haven't taken the plastic off, but I have decided to make it a birthday gift, so I think I am excused at that game. I have not however finished any of the finishiable games. Not one. Pokémon games can't be finished, but I haven't even taken on the Elite Four in about half of them.

So I think that I will not buy anything but food and cleaning supplies until my birthday. I will play games I already own, watch the movies in my bookshelf, and read my own books. That I have a few of.
I will give or throw away anything that I ended up not liking.
And when my birthday comes up I will hopefully have a neat little pile of money that I can buy clothes with, so that I can throw out my frayed jeans, faded sweaters and dated... well everything. Last year I bought two party dresses, 'cos I needed two party dresses, and some underwear, and that was it. It's too little.
I need a less dated look. So I am gonna stop shopping so that I can shop^^, Maybe even pay to get my hair cut, and get it cut right, and in a way that actually suits me, for the first time in... over 5 years I think. At least. Maybe more. The last time I can remember paying to go to the hairdresser was when I got black streaks when I was 15. I am so over being a model for random people and not even having straight bangs afterwards.

So yeah, I am going to be sugar free. and well dresses soon^^, It's gonna be a whole new me=D

Public announcement directed at men

I have been raised good. It means that I am a nice person. I pride myself on not being a mean bitch until I need to. I means that I will smile and listened until I you are done talking and actually answer you nicely.
None of these things means that you have a shot in hell to get laid by me.
I am just being polite.
Men everywhere thinks that nice girls are interested just because we are not rude if we don't have to. A lot of these men make me have to.
No matter where I meet you, I do not want you. On line, at school, at the library, at parties, no matter where, I do not want you.
Can you hear how I am talking non-stop about my amazing boyfriend? That is because I have an amazing boyfriend, that I love and do NOT want to trade out with you!
Nice girls =/= easy lay!
I am NOT going home with you, tonight or any night.
I am nice 'cos I am nice, and a little naive, so when you are nice, I think you are being nice, end of business. I don't automatically think that you have romantic interests, I think you maybe wanna be friends or you are being polite.
Argh! Stupid men! I need to start being a bitch straight away, so that I won't have to be a bitch later on when I have actually discovered you are a nice guy, that I could be friends with. FRIENDS with, No More.
Stupid men. I am so over stupid men.Bah

Candy-schmandy

I am gonna stop eating candy.
Sugar rots your everything.
Sure, you need carbs. I can eat pasta instead. Just as tasty.
I think I am addicted to sugar, so I am gonna stop feeding my addiction. See if I won't be better off for it.
My mom has done it successfully, so why can't I?
It's expensive, and really bad for you. I am gonna slim my flat stomach (as if I need it, right?XP) and fatten my slim wallet.
So, who's with me?

There's a few exceptions to the rule:
I get to drink cocktails and alcoholic sodas. I am gonna be better, not boring.
I get to eat cake at special occasions, like when I visiting my grandma or other people who like to serve cake with the coffee. Or birthdays. I do not however get to ravage the chocolate bowl XP

It's gonna be hell for a while, but then it will be better. I can drink coffee and eat apples. If my mom can, so can I! (Even if she has a much stronger willpower than I doXP)

Changes

Life changes. Love changes. Soon the place will change. I have changed. A lot. So I think my blog should reflect that.
What do you think?

Go clubbing in Korea with me?

Anyone wanna buy me BoA for my birthday?

Bonus points for aggressive clappingXP

Changed my mind want Bom instead. (I actually bothered to find out her name, that's hoe cute she isXP)

And Suzy please^^,


Just because we can go clubbing in Japan too:

I think I heart perfume a littleXP

I had almost forgotten hoe much I love Ringo Shiina. Couldn't find Bou Jackson Fujin, so it is what it is.

And last, for nostalgia's sake. The first Japanese song I really hearted:

Saturdaynight dinner

Niiiice glass of red wine.
Making entrecôte for dinner. With oven baked shalotts and potatoes on the side.
Pokémon on the DS. Complete with shiny legendary dogs and brand new Celebi.
Boyfriend bringing home cake from downtown^^,
Whoever said I don't know how to cook are too wrong^^, Poor people, who doesn't get to taste my delicious entrecôte stuffed with garlic with a nice redwine reduction drizzled over^^,
Bah on you peopleXD

Stupid cold

I have a cold. A stupid cold that makes me sneeze and cough and makes my nose run and my head heavy.
It's no point in going to school with such a stupid cold, 'cos I can't think, and I will probably just infect everyone, and that's just bad form.

I love my optician shop. I broke my glasses the day before yesterday, but one of the nice girls at my optician shop fixed them free of charge. I have the typa e of frames that only have metal on the top half, and a platic wire on the underside of the glasses and it was just the wire that snapped. I have had them for a couple of years, and it might be time for new ones.
I kinda want contacts. I like glasses, but apparently glasses on girls are bad, and I like being thought of as pretty^^,
That and my glasses are pink. I want midnight blue ones. I still like pink and I think that pale pink suits me in small doses, but I am evolving more in the direction of blues and reds. I think that people are always evolving and at the moment I am evolving away from pinks and into other things. I have other friends who like pinks thou, so I am able to give my pink clothes to them, so that I don't have to throw them away. I have a little too much pink in my skin I think, and wearing the baby pink sweaters and dresses that I used to often make me look a little washed out. I figured with my light hair and fair skin I should wear bolder, brighter colours. I really like red. I think I look good in them too.
I am thinking about perming my hair also. I have always wanted curls.
My hair has gotten a sort of golden/honey quality about it. I am using Lush's blonde shampoo, which sadly has been discontinued, and their Marilyn hair cure, and it has brought out the honey tones in my hair.
I am trying to learn how to curl my hair with a straightening iron, but it's sort of difficult.
I am getting better at doing my makeup also. It's amazing how much a tinted moisturizer can even out your skin. I am gonna pluck my eyebrows when I get better.

But now I am gonna go read some.

Follow up post ZOMG O.o

I got a comment on my last post, or rather on the TV makes kids stupid part of it, and as a first on this blog, I think I am posting a follow up.
I totally agree on the part where Norwegians are good at English due to TV. I attribute my good English skills to watching a lot of TV as a child. But there are some contributing factors here: The first one being our age, and the second one being the age that we start to learn English.
I can see that I was very unclear about that in my last post, but these findings are mostly directed at children of 3 years and younger, so they are very young, and are still learning our mothertounge. When we start to better our English through TV we already know some English, which brings me to my second point. In Norway we start learning English in 1st grade. Or at least a lot of us do. I learned longhand instead, and therefore did not start to learn English before I was in 4th grade.
So: When we start to learn English from TV we are old enough to do so, and we already know English. You cannot simply pick up a language from watching TV, unless it was a language teaching programme. If we could how many teenagers would not be fluent in JapaneseXP
I wholly agree that our very high exposure to English through the media contributes hugely to our adeptness at English here in Norway, and the fact that they have deemed English a second language in Norway (as opposed to a foreign language) somewhat attests to this fact.
But then you have other people who don't learn as much as say you or I have. I know a man, exactly my age, who has watched as much English TV as I have, and who started learning English in 1st grade, four years before me, who cannot speak it at all. He almost flunked out of English in high school. So then we have to ask ourselves: This kid, who has had all the same things as us, and who doesn't have our skill, and you do not have to look far or hard to find others like him, what did his parents do differently?
I was speaking and writing poetry in English (very bad poetry thou) when I was 11. I did not grow up in his house so I don't know his amount of TV watching, or what he watched, but I know that he has had a similar upbringing as me and all that.
The fact that Norwegians are generally better than Germans or Finns does not mean that most of us are very good. We all grew up watching the same after school specials, and the same soaps, and the same sitcoms. We had the same TV available, but still a frighteningly large amount of Norwegian teenagers are very bad at English. And I believe that this proves that it has to be much more than TV that makes us good at English.

Britnzzz

You know how I like Britney and such when I am drunk?
Sleep deprived apparently works also.
I do realize it's 8 to 10 in the evening as this sentence is being written, but I don't sleep well these days. Weekends are better. Weekends bring companyXP

Aaaaaanywho. Britney is the shhh when I am sleepy or tipsy so I clicked a random mashup with her name on it. And she has just released a new song.

Ohohoh! Do NOT put your kids in front of the TV. Television makes kids stupid. In the Dream Garden might capture your kids like nufink else, but it's gonna hurt your kid in the long run.
The thing is: Kids can't learn language from TV, and there is a direct correlation between people's adeptness at the talking thing and their intelligence. You might sit there and think "but I learned (insert word/language here) from (programme)". But how old were you. Kids can learn some words from TV when they are older than 3, but no grammar. When we were kids here in Norway Cartoon Network was not dubbed to Norwegian, and I have heard so many people my age go on and on about how good they were at English from watching Cartoon Network. Funny thing thou, a large portion of these people are really bad at English. Really really bad. Horrible.
So: TV makes kids stupid. Don't make TV be your babysitter.

Oh! Luke puts Megaman Protein Powder in his shakes. How's that for your random referenceXP

I need to eat more green stuff. And I need to not drink so much coffeeXP

I went swimming today, so my poor tummy is feeling better. Actually the biggest help was shuffling snow. I hate shuffling snow.

I am gonna download Jul i Svingen and watch that soon. Christmas ain't over 'till Easter right? XP Makes me sad sometimes. They haven't even taken down the Christmas decorations in town yet. I guess that will be nice up north thou. I am so done with this drab city. Next year will be better=D

I am so annoyed at Nintendo right now. I have ordered Pokémon 5th gen from the states to get it early. BUT it's released March 4th in Norway and March 6th in the states! And then I have to wait for them to be shipped. There better damned well be some event only Pokémon in it for me!  XP
I am getting it half the price thou.

To cap the rambling off. If I am ever audition for Idol or something, I am singing this song:


5 points and a hug if you can place it
