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^^,

Can I has Pokémans?
So I was gonna write about Alice in Wonderland, which I saw yesterday. Yeah. That's not gonna happen right this moment, it will have to be later, because today I did something I have not done in months.
I threw saving out the window and spent my birthday money in advance. I bought Heartgold and Soulsilver.
Yes, I am perfectly aware of the fact that I could have saved a buck-load of money by ordering them from the states, but I just could not wait. I have been practising very hard not to be all instant gratification, but apparently this does not apply to Pokémon games which I have been anxious awaiting for, I guess, for over a year now.
I have been super focused on not reading or watching for it at all, in fear that this exact thing would happen. It happened anyway.
The thing is I was meeting S at Strømmen Storsenter on Wednesday for some photographing for TG, and I did the error of walking past one of the two game stores the mall has, and outside there was a cardboard poster thingy, which showed Ho-oh and Lugia, in all their glory. I melted instantly. I rushed in to the store, all big eyed and giggly to find the boxes on the shelves. They had "pre-order now" stickers on them, and price-tags and they came with limited edition figurines.
When I got home, I started gushing more or less instantly and constantly. For two days, until Boyfriend offered to borrow me the money. And I deliberated for hours last night.
I finally decided to buy one now, and order the other from the states for a much cheaper rate.
But when I got there this morning (they were released today) I just could not decide, and I wanted the limited edition figurines (yeah, Pokémon figurines are not evol trinkets, they are limited edition, very rare Pokémon figurines currently on display on a shelf), so I caved to my desires and bought them both.
It is finally official, I am a Crazy Collector Lady.
Also I will be mostly unavailable for the next... Month? Depends on how long it's gonna take me to get to the mayor roadblock which is Goldenrod City. I swear that Miltank is pure evil. Or rather it's rollout attack is. It's the stuff nightmares are made out of. Some I am actually gonna be mainly unavailable until 8PM todayXP It's only the third gym after all. I am a Pokémaniac. You kned that. Don't look so shocked.
The fact that I bought them, does mean however, that I am not allowed to buy any DS games, or Nintendo games AT ALL, for a loooooooong time.
And now: What do I think about the games.
It's this simple: It is the single best generation EVER, in the best graphics to date, with lots of neat things from the later generations, and all the cool things (this far any way) from the actual original games. It's the best of everything, AND it comes with a Pokéwalker, which you can transfer ANY Pokémon at all to.
You can walk around with any Pokémon of your choosing. You know, the coolest feature from Yellow, the extra-game for first generation.
It's lovely. It's amazing. It's gorgeous. It's Pokémon at it's absolute BEST, and I have only gotten to Voilet City. I LOVE it to bits.
Oh, and don't buy it for my birthday seeing as I already have both. Sorry for any plans this has ruined. I just could not help myselfXP
There will be more gushing later

Long time no post
Been a while since I posted. Still haven't gotten a reply about uni. Have gotten loads more B-day presents. Have collaborated in taking third in a photo contest. Should be doing homework right now...
Photo contest first, shall we.
Fiancé being the wonderful computer nerd that he is goes to The Gathering in Hamar each year (one of Scandinavia's biggest nerdfestsXD) and he enters in the competitions every year. This year we took third in the photocontest with this pic:
Crouching Angel, Hidden Dragon by ~wlkr on deviantART
I did the lightpainting, he did the posing and the post work. Purdy isn't he=D
We took 4th last year with a video called Nightlife using the same technique, but I don't have it right now. We should have taken 2nd, seeing as both first and third place violated the contest rules, but water under the bridge ne?
I have gotten more B-day presents, including flavour thingys for onigiri, Japanese dictionary for my DS <3, Miffy on DVD, and a genuine D&G wallet O.o
Good times=D=D
Better go read my German homework me thinks
No word of the day today, swoowy

Coolest day of the year (belated, but anyway)
So yesterday was my birthday, I can now, as far I know, buy alcohol and vote in the entire world^^, (Except that I can only vote in Norway, but anywho^^,)
Remember I said I thought I was going to get a tablet PC? I did^^, Big thanks to all of you who chipped in^^,
I have started drawing a Marikken picture on it, in Illustrator, but I'm not very good at it yet. But, practice makes perfect, right?
But, besides from being my birthday, 8th of April is actually a very cool day.
It's the birthday of Buddha in Japan.
In 1917 Jane Stickle was born on this day, she was the creator of the first ever Dear Jane quilt. Which is almost cooler than the Buddha thing actually. I have grown up in the midst of my mothers quilts, and even thou I never caught the passion for quilting myself, I have always loved the techniques and the fabrics. I always treasure the quilts that come into my possession, maybe in part because I know all the work and love that goes into making them^^, And Dear Jane's are some of the most beautiful ones to me, because there is so much detail in them. My mom made on a few years back, and it's absolutely gorgeous=D
Betty Ford is born on this day as well, likewise Vivienne Westwood.
Thus far I have collected three books, two Vampire Chronicles which my little sister bought for me in London, and one Beetle the Bard, the tablet, and an absolutely adorable little purse my mom made, with a stitchery of my Fat Cat on it, sitting next to her bowl demanding "sånn" (gourmet soft cat food^^, Picky eater, Tullerusk^^,). That's another reason I always treasure the quilts and little things my mother make me, not only does she put love into making them, she puts love into picking the colours and the fabrics as well. Each time my mom gets packets on fabric in the mail I always oogle them for at least 30 minutes, and the preetiest one are always the Japanese ones, so what else could she make it of but a gorgeous sakura-petal patterened soft pink Japanese fabric? If it did not get through yesterday Mom, I'm absolutely in love with it^^, Even the lining is purdy (a yellow starspin fabric=D).
Word of the day:
誕生日 - tanjoubi - birthday
And just because it's fun:
Pictures of my mother's Dear Jane
And PS:
Someone with a little knowledge: please write a Wikipedia entry on Jane Stickle and Dear Jane. We need one I don't know enough about either...

Mock exam, how I despise thee
I have a math mock exam today. In like, on hour I think. And I am not ready O.o
Last week I had a mega stupid exhausting flu. And I am still tired from it, plus my math book was laying prettily in my locker at school all week, so I did not get any studying done last week at all. I even had to go early from my Japanese class, which I had dragged myself to, to have at least done something other than sleeping all week.
Yesterday I came home from school and sat down to watch Bugsy Malone on Swedish TV, which is a movie I love, but that I have never been able to see the whole thing (birthday tip everyone: Bugsy Malone on DVD), it's a 20's gangster musical, with only kids in it. It's amazing, and I love it, and actually started seeing it from the start, and then I feel asleep. And I think I slept for 5 hours, which I haven't done in months. I woke up halfway through the second Simpsons episode, totally disoriented and feeling like crap, and bone tired still, so I wasn't able to study yesterday either. And then I go to bed at half to ten and sleeps the until half to 6 (when I was woken up by a SMS about camelsXD I have funny friends^^,), which means that in 24 hours I slept 13 hours O.o
And now I have to go have a math m ock exam, and I am not prepared, and I am a bit stressed out right now. Ranting helped thou. See ya'll l8r. Luff ya^^, *runs off to start preparing provisions* XD
(And to whom it might concern: I have counted possibly 6 of you possibly in on the big surprise birthday gift, and no one is giving me any clues. It's really frustrating you know. Fiancé only laughs at me and tells me I'm cute, S doesn't even know what his in on getting me, and I don't even know if I'm gonna bother asking Auntie Mean about it all. The evil woman will only laugh at me and tell me to be a good girl and wait till my birthday. I love you all, but you are killing me here. At the moment I torn between think it's a tablet and the completion of my Pokémon collection, these being the only two thing that needs 6+ people chipping in on it. Aaargh!!! Someone feed me clues, pretty please. It's two weeks until my brithday peeps. I am dying here.)
(crossed all possible limbs and hopes for PokémansXD)
