Budapest, here I come!

2008-03-12T01:22:00.000-07:00

Last week I sent an application for a seminar in Budapest, Hungary, with the topic "Beyond Tolerance - Intercultural Solidarity - Vivid Human Rights". Today, when I checked my e-mail inbox, I saw that I'd got an e-mail saying that I was chosen to go to the seminar!
I'm so happy!
I'M GOING TO BUDAPEST!
YAAAAY:D:D

So far, so good

2008-03-04T00:40:00.000-08:00

So far today I've been very healthy. A protein shake and a carrot for breakfast, and I have also made myself a healthy lunch; two slices of bread with chicken and a dash of mayo, and two carrots. So..I guess we'll see how it goes the rest of the day:p

Plan failed

2008-03-03T11:55:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I wrote that I would try to keep my appartment tidy, don't eat as much sugar as I usually do, and go to bed earlier.
Guess what.
I don't think I've started yet..:p And if I've started, the plan failed..:p
Last night, I went to meet Sivert, one of my very best friends here at Inderøy. We went to Shell (the gas station), and bought chocolate-easter-eggs, Solo (a soft drink with orange taste), and then walked back to my appartment. We wathced funny clips at YouTube, ate the easter eggs and some carrots, and drank tea and Solo. We started to get tiret, and when we took a look at the clock, we discovered that the clock was 2.30 AM...so we decided to go to bed.
We stopped talking at 3, and at 8 we got out of bed and made ourself ready for school.
I'm kind of tired now, and I'm actually going to bed pretty soon..But first I'm going to eat a carrot or two.
So I guess my new and healthy lifestyle starts...now.

Promises for a better life

2008-03-02T12:46:00.000-08:00

It has been a month since I wrote last time, and that is way too long. I'm going to try to write more often now, I promise!

This weekend I have decided to become more healthy. I'm not going to eat/drink so much sugar that I do, and I'm going to eat more vegetables and fruit - and I'm also going to swich some of the bread I'm eating with crispbread.
Healthyer.

I'm also going to go to bed earlier than I usually do (because I don't really sleep much), I'm going to do my homework earlier than the night before I have to hand them in, and I'm going to try to keep my appartment tidy.

Wish me good luck.
I'm going to need it..

I don't understand

2008-01-02T13:00:00.000-08:00

I don't understand how people can live with themselves when all they do is lying to their friends, hurting their feelings, disappoint people just to make them sad. I don't understand how anyone can be happy when they are faking everything.
I just don't understand it.
It must be a hard way of living.

Dancing in the backyard

2007-12-30T15:08:00.000-08:00

"Minor Majority - Dancing in the backyard" is a song I really really really like. Actually, I love it.

The song can be found here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=iWTz3WKEAm4

Lyrics:

She came to me
With that look on her face
There is freedom she says
In changing our ways

I don't believe
In staying the same
Cause I just don't relate
To the things that I say

When there's no one there to correct me
To put me in place
And there's gonna be a dance in the backyard

[CHORUS]
Oh, come with me
Oh, don't be sad when there's a party going on
Come with me, I'll take you
Dancing in the backyard
Dancing in the backyard

She's the kind of girl
That'll mess up your head
There is freedom she says
In being mislead

I don't believe
In being myself
Cause I just don't approve
Of the choices I make

When there's no one there to correct me
To put me in place
And there's gonna be a dance in the backyard

[CHORUS]
Oh, come with me
Oh, don't be sad when there's a party going on
Come with me, I'll take you
Dancing in the backyard

Oh, come with me
Oh, don't be sad when there's a party going on
Come with me, I'll take you
Dancing in the backyard
Dancing in the backyard
Dancing in the backyard
Dancing in the backyard

No one there to correct me
To put me in place
And there's gonna be a dance in the backyard

[CHORUS]
Oh, come with me
Oh, don't be sad when there's a party going on
Come with me, I'll take you
Dancing in the backyard

Oh, come with me
Oh, don't be sad when there's a party going on
Come with me, I'll take you
Dancing in the backyard
Dancing in the backyard
Dancing in the backyard
Dancing in the backyard

Merry Christmas!

So, finally it is Christmas Eve - the day so many of us has been waiting for.
Even though I am an agnostic I was in the church earlier today, and the preast prayed for all those people who dread for the Christmas holidays, for those who are lonely and alone, for those who are afraid, and for those who are hungry and helpless. I started to think about how much money Norwegians spend at bying gifts to each other. We use so much money, bying games, electronics, jewellery, make-up, and a lot of other things that nobody really needs. And then I thought - what if we spent our money on somebody who needs them? What if we gave money to charity or solidarity workers, who would use the money to make the world a little better place to spend a lifetime on? Would not that be better than buying expensive gifts to our family and friends?
I think so.

Next Christmas, I am going to do something good for somebody who needs it, and not only spend money on those who aldready have more that they need!
Why don't you do the same?:)

Yes!

I dyed my hair again last night, and now I've got dark brown/black hair.
A bit to dark, but still, better than being orange by the roots and dark brown at the rest of the hair.

Oh no...

2007-12-16T06:45:00.000-08:00

I was going to dye my hair today. So I did.
The result was going to be dark brown. It is not.
My hair is now orange by the roots and 5cm out on the hair, and the rest is dark brown/black from the last time I dyed it.
It is not very pretty.
I guess I will have to buy some new hair color today.

Long time no see

2007-12-15T15:22:00.000-08:00

It has been a long time since last time I wrote here..
But now I am writing again, and it feels great:D

A lot has happened since last time, but not much is important.
I injured my ankle, and I've been sick, but beyond that nothing has happend that is worth telling about. except from the fact that I have applied for a school in Norwich..I really hope I get to go to England for the next school year:D

So, it is December 16th...only eight days for Christmas! I am looking so much forward to Christmas this year - more than I usually do! Maybe it is because I am not living at home anymore, and can hardly wait to be with my family again..or maybe it is just because everything is much better and I am more happy in general this year:) Anyway, Christmas is going to be great - and I am filled with christmas joy and happy thoughts!:D

More colours:D

Now I've edited my blog, so that it looks more colourful.

What do you think?:)

Election time = candytime

2007-09-08T12:37:00.000-07:00

In Norway there's local elections this monday, and all the political parties have stands outside of stores and such to tell people about their politicial views, and give flowers, candy, pens, cds, flyers, balloons and such to the people passing by.
This is why I love election time, even though I'm not old enough to vote - I get a lot of free candy and stuff^^, My father is in a political party, and I of course visit him at the stand to get some chocolate, caramells, roses, buttons, and a lot of other stuff.
So, I've had my daily doze of sugar today - and I got it for free.
Isn't that just great?:D

Silly me!

Yesterday after school, I was going to the city. A Trine, a girl in my class was also going to the city, so she said that I could come with her and her boyfriend, Johan. So I did.

When we'd been driving for a minute or so, I started looking for my cellphone - and of course I didn't find it. I looked in my purse, in my pockets, everywhere. I actually checked my purse 3 times, but still I couldn't find it.

Johan drove back to the school, and Trine and I was looking for my cellphone everywhere. We couldn't find it, so we agreed that I should take a look in my locker, and in the meantime she was going to look in my purse once more.
When I got back to the car, Trine was gone. Johan told me that she was looking for me - because she found my cellphone. In my purse, that I've checket 3 times.
I felt like an idiot, and we were laughing and joking about it all day:p
But hey, I guess I should be used to be embarassed by now:p At least we had a great laugh that day, so I guess there was SOMETHING good about it:)

Today has been a wonderful day!

2007-09-05T09:40:00.000-07:00

It started with school, and in the lunch break me and my candyfriend Marwa bought candy, ate our lunch, and ate nuts. When the lunch was over, we went to listen to two guys who had a presentation about when they were studying in USA and a nother country which I don't remember the name of. It was interesting, and one of the guys was kind of cute;)
I was so lucky that Marwa gave me a massage, and we also ate candy. It was a very relaxing and nice lesson^^,
Afther the presentation, we had our dramaclass - which always is funny! We practiced at trusting eachother, and we had some concentration practicing as well. We always do many different things in the drama classes, so I don't remember all of them:p

After school, Marwa, me, and my neighbour Christina walked home from school. Me and Marwa made chocolate pancakes, and they were SO GOOD:D
It's like the best pancakes ever!

Here is the reciepe, if you want to make them yourself:

8 dl wheat flour
7 dl milk
3 eggs
2-3 dl sugar, it depends how much you like sugar;)
6 table spoons of butter
A little bit of salt
1 small spoon of baking powder

You just make them like you make ordinary pancakes, and you can put on cheese, sugar, chocolate butter (or what it's called in english..you know, chocolate to put on the bread), or anything else you think is good together with chocolate pancakes.

Tonight my other neigbour Synne, Christina and Marwa comes over, and we're just going to talk, play the guitar, and maybe watch a movie or something. Just hanging out and having fun! We laugh all the time, it's so nice:D
Marwa and Christina are going to sleep at my place, so there'll be like a girls' night/slumberparty^^,
It's going to be so great:D

But now I have to clean up the mess from the cooking..

I'll write later:)

Ooops...

2007-09-04T10:56:00.000-07:00

I made a fool of myself today.

I was going to my math class, but I didn't know which classroom it was in because I've been sick. Someone in my math group told me that it was room 3, so I went to room 3 after gym class. I was a bit late, so when I opened the door, everyone stared at me. I walked into the room towards an empty chair, when a guy whispered "I think you're in the wrong classroom!".. I took a quick look around, and I couldn't see any drama students, only music students. So the guy was right: it was the wrong classroom. I stood there like an idiot, asking where my classroom was. They were nice and told me, so I found the right one at last.
I was so embarassed, I bet I was as red as a tomato!

But I guess I've made bigger blunders than that..:)

I've got a blog!:D

2007-09-03T12:33:00.000-07:00

I've found out that all the cool people have a blog, so I made one myself to fool you guys to believe that I'm cool as well. Who knows, maybe it works?

So, what have I done today?

Besides being at school and vacuuming the floor, I almost made a flood in my kitchen. I had boiled some eggs, and was going to cool them down under some cold water. While the water was on, the sink went tight. The water was about 3 cm from the top of the sink when I discovered it.. So I guess I was lucky:p

But now it's time to eat, and watch Valen TV.

I'll write later!:)
