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)

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:

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
