Home!

I am so happy! I'm home! And there's snow!
Joyous times!

So this first picture is what waved goodbye to me in London. Can't say I'll miss it.


And this one is what welcomed me home <3 Now THAT was magnificent. I was like a little child sitting on that plane. "Can we go out now? I wanna go out! Let me play in the snooooow!" And so on. As you do.

I soon also found out I had been so fortunate that I would miss my plane due to baggage claims and fuel. But thankfully I was given 150 kr to buy some food! That helped a lot on my mood. After not having slept that night, I was pretty close to weeping in the middle of the airport. Not that I did. But that food perked me right back up. Thank you air plane-lady.


This met me when I got home! <3 Mum! Snow! Joy!

SNOW!

Really hoping for a white Christmas this year.

Chillosaurus Rex

Assessment times are upon us.
It's actually mad that time has gone so fast!
I can't believe I only have 1 and a half year left here in Britain.... It's so sad to think about...!

So let's not! It's advent! Yay! Happiness and joyous times, indeed! 
I've found Amalies Jul (Amalie's Christmas), a TV-advent calendar from when I was a kid, so I decided to watch that every day this Christmas...
I got so eager I found some more TV-calendars as well, because I don't know when to stop... ALL THE KIDS TV! YEAH! I love it. Christmas is so awesome.

They have snow back home. I am well jealous, innit.

I've demanded people to send me pictures... It's gorgeous! Beautiful! Magnificent! I love it!


It's Christmas! Thank you Stina for sending me pictures! And mum. Yay!
Can't wait to go home now, to see friends and family and stuff. Yay! Merry Christmas! Have a lovely advent-time!

Horror.

I was meant to post this a few days ago... A week or so... I am tardy!
Building up anticipation:

That moment of sheer terror.
That moment before you are being invaded by a needle,
that moment you realise that there's a car coming right at you when you're in the middle of the streets.
That moment a giant shark is coming at you with its teeth bared at you
or that moment when a GIANT EXPLOSION goes off very close to you!

That moment.
I had that moment a while ago.
My computer screen went pink!
CUE THE HORROR MUSIC!
My pulse is raised when thinking about it....




Fortunately it worked itself out after desperately pressing the weird hinge-things that keep the laptop together... Thank God!

Patrick Wolf Concert

The 7th of November, we saw Patrick Wolf live in Cardiff. The Gate.
Oh my god.
Oh my actual god.
He was amazing. So amazing. I loved every second of it.
He had a few technical difficulties, and handled them so well! Really funny. Stopped in the middle of a song just going "You know what, I hate that shit, just turn it off!" when the projector wouldn't cooperate.


He is amazing live.

Played all sorts of instruments like it was nobody's business. Such an amazing show. The transformation from electronic songs to acoustic was executed really well. So beautiful. So happy I finally got to see him live!















The opening act was really good, too. Abi Wade I think her name was. Worth checking out! She tapped the cello whilst playing and.. Doesn't sound cool when I try to describe it, but it looked really cool. And sounded cool! So many sounds drawn out from one instrument.

I am so happy! He's one of my favourite artists. Easily.
The sounds he creates are incredible, the texts he writes, amazing.
I am a fan girl without shame concerning Patrick Wolf.
Beautiful!

Crushed Bug In the Windowsill

I freaking love life when I see things that are basically taken out of songs. Like the parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme in Scarborough Fair.
....Or when you rearrange things into that order of the song and take a picture of it, giggling like a maniac whilst doing so, making the people around you stare at you....


Well. I'm having my dearest Malene over again, going to watch Patrick Wolf play in Cardiff the 7th.
Can't actually wait.
It's going to be mental to finally see him live.


My sister decided to start a picture war with me.
Naturally, retaliation is a necessity in picture-war. I must admit, hers were a lot funnier than mine, but I'm just going to post mine at this moment.
 I always thought I was adopted... :)


I just realised that we may be a slightly strange family.
Us kids, at least.
It's all good. We're going to be children until the day we die, I think!

Realization

I want a tiger.

A massive white tiger.

A massive white tiger that needs to be fed horses.

I realise that I would really like one.

A tiger.

Tigger!

Tigger means beggar in Norwegian.

Stressing out.

Pony!

All tomorrow's parties.

Velvet Underground song. Blatantly plagiarised that.
So much has happened these past weeks, it's mad.
Had the surprise party of wonderful Alan on Friday which was a lot of fun.
Danced the Gangnam style-dance, whilst trying not to kick peoples' teeth out.
(What, you never know if someone passed out on the floor! Screw looking where you stomp!) The song is shit, but fun to dance to.

Took this one evening. The moon was so nicely reflected in the water, regrettably, a lot of houses were in the way, so you can't see it as well. Also, the quality died a bit when I used paint.

Watched Felix Baumgartner jump out of a balloon, breaking three -I think it was- world records and land safely on the ground.
Gave me goosebumps and duckbumps and all other kinds of bumps when he jumped. Intense moment right there, can't imagine what it must have been like to actually do it.

That makes me think about how advanced we have gotten in so little time. It's quite mad how intelligent a species we are. Yet, we're not intelligent enough to see we are destroying the planet we live on bit by bit.
Strange how money come before home.

I made a cake! It was originally meant as a birthday cake for two friends of mine, but they sort of didn't come over for it. But it was fine, Eveline came over instead! It was nice. It's gone now.


I don't think I've properly ever made a cake from scratch before, except those rollie-cake-things filled with jam in the household-class-thing. They don't really count though.
Shoooowing oooooff.

Anyhow, don't think I have anything else to say about that.
KTHXBYE!

Wasting Paint

So now all the house-mates are in the house. Good times!

Though the urge to kill is slowly rising... This will be an interesting year...
Been playing Dungeons and Dragons basically all day yesterday (IT'S NOT "ON FRIDAY" UNTIL I SLEPT!!!! :P). As we do most Fridays. It's quite good! Frank's the DM (Dungeon Master. GM or Game Master works too.) in this game, and it's good fun.
I love my Genasi Wizard. She's awesome! ...When she actually get a decent number on the die and hit the target.... But she is still kinda under-powered compared to the other characters.
I have probably done something wrong somewhere, though.
It's good fun. She's the headmaster at a magic-school, where they let them be exchange students into the Fey Wild, which is another plane... NO, I AM NOT TRYING TO MAKE HER INTO DUMBLEDORE! Or anything like that.
I won't mention the deaths that happened there, though... As... Shit tend to happen... When.. Working with... Magic stuff... That explodes...
Yes.

So as we were doing fuck knows what in D&D, I decided to waste some paint that I never used anyway. Why not make a fucking creation out of it!
...It became sort of shit.
Like a child that tried to do a Munch. And naturally failed. Because children can't ... actually, scratch that, a child could do much better than this.
I FAIL!

HAH. Lets pretend it was on purpose.
Squishy paint.














I can't wait until uni starts back up, now. To start working and to see what you have to do this 2nd year of university. I hope to God we won't get two certain "tutors" that only end up teaching us bullshit this year... Really hope not.

I will do my best to work my absolute ass off this year, and make a real effort. Try to get some firsts. Better to try to over-achieve than to under-achieve, eh... I've never had good grades in school because I've been lazy as fuck, but... Will try now. I do actually pay a lot for this.

Also, bad news for me! The last of the milk chocolate is gone! Sad face! A very sad face, too! Think the opposite of the joker! ... That's technically a sown-together mouth... But I meant a frown instead of a grin.
Yes..

This is a sight nobody wants to see. They really should be selling these in Wales. No doubt about that.

Sleepless in Swansea

The title almost worked. Seattle... Swansea... Almost the same thing!

Today, a room-mate and an amazing friend, Cira and I demolished the kitchen.
We didn't really demolish the kitchen, we just cleaned it. For 3 hours. Possibly more. How filthy is your kitchen when you have to use 3 hours straight on cleaning! Without a break!
I mean the fact that we spent 3 hours cleaning it, is worth bragging about.
Especially when you cleaned your room afterwards as well. And hoovered the bathroom. But now I am slightly above-average in the whole Loving To Brag matter...

The day started with me wanting to go and preorder World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, so I dragged dearest Cira with me down to town to grab a pre-order. Naturally, the shop closed 30 minutes before THE FUCKING THING WAS MEANT TO but said "ah, nah we always close now, 'cuz we're like... lazy."
Assholes.
So we went to grab some necessities instead. That turned into a giant bag of "necessities" (read: crap). I bought so much shit. Dust cloths, cloths for cleaning away big bad scary stains, gloves, pillows, another water filter jug-thing (I decided to try a new one. And also, the filters themselves apparently only last for a month each. Oops... Used the old one for a year X) ...)... And yeah, even more than that.
It's all stuff I will use though, so it's not all that bad. Also yellow dust cloths are so cute! And they are soft too! I wish I was 5. I would cuddle the fuck out of those dust cloths!

I'm talking about dust cloths...


My life is super-exciting these days...

In all seriousness though, it's been a good kind of busy. It felt so good to kick out all the shit we had in the kitchen, with the grim-looking mouse-trap-like-thing we had in the Cupboard of Creepy, with little pellets in it... That's GONE, thankfully... Thanks to Liam...
So freaking productive.

And now, because my body hates me, I'm still awake. After 3-5 hours of cleaning, I am wide awake. At 5:45 in the morning, also known as Insanely Stupid O'clock, I am wide awake. Fuck my life.
Across and straightforward.
Bottom to top.

With an insane need for food. Or snacks.

I ended up buying the WoW expansion on Amazon, if you could give a flying fuck. It felt a little like a reward for being a massive twit towards my house-mates this whole entire day.
Not sure if it's a good reward or a bad reward yet. Hoping for good reward. ICAN'TWAIT!
Though.. Pokémon and Farm Ville? Really Blizzard? Really?

Rant over.

Good day, sir!

The Bristol Conundrum

It's a talent.
Malene came with me to Swansea when I went over on the 1st of September. It was good with some company on the mind-numbingly dull air plane journey. She's very good at keeping other people's minds occupied with other things, which I greatly appreciate.




She wanted to go to Bristol and see the Stonehenge. Yeah, I know, the radicalness of this just blew your mind, but nay, it doesn't just stop there, my dearest minion.
Malene also wanted to meet up with an old guild-mate, so that was partly why we went there instead of directly to Salisbury.
It was a win-win for us though, because as it turns out, Salisbury is shithole. But I'll talk about that later.

Bristol is such a beautiful city.

I must say, though. Britain LOVE their unicorns. It's like they have some information on them that they refuse to pass on to us foreigners...

Anyway, in Bristol our dedicated tour-guide showed us all the important bits of Bristol. He showed us The Famous Wobbly Table, which was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. I mean it literally blew my mind. My mind is in the gutters of Bristol...
I take that back... That made me sound extremely unintelligent...
ANYWAY, the wobbly table. I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of the Famous Wobbly Table, but I did take a picture of the restaurant it was in.


Right, so we faffed about in Bristol for a day, with me being a massive third wheel, but the only one actually talking because Malene and Matt were too shy to say or decide anything... At all... Ever...
"What do you wanna do?" Is probably the most asked question in the two days I was there. They must have asked it about 90 times in 15 minutes at one point.... I was close to kill, that evening.


So with a lot of adrenalin and oxytocin in these two's blood streams, I'm sure, we walked around Bristol without aim. Seriously. No aim at all.
Day 2 we decided to go to Salisbury to see the Stonehenge. So we did.
We took the train around 3-4 and got there around 5.30.

Horsey! Pardon the shit picture...
Then we found a bus-driver on a Stonehenge bus, asked him when he left and got this message:
Stonehenge closes at 6.
6!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?
A pile of rocks has got a CLOSING TIME!?

At a loss for what to do, we started wobbling around in Salisbury.
We found a river...


And another river.....



AND THIS IS JUST A LIE!!!!
No WAY have they made cycles out of Stonehenge. I think we would have heard about it. Anyway, it was closed so we couldn't have gone in and demanded an explanation...

We found a church.....
And pictures of facepalming greats of the past...
Naturally I had to force Matt into facepalming beside it as he had been facepalming a _lot_ that day and the day before...
Not that my incredible puns are bad or facepalm-worthy... Because they are amazing...

We quickly found out too, why they encouraged drinking for toddlers in Salisbury... There's nothing better to do.
This is what faced us in every single direction we looked:










So we took the train back to Bristol, defeated and discouraged. We found, though, that a lot of attractions were nearby. So we snapped a lot more pictures.
St. Mary Redcliffe, a lovely looking cathedral!
Then we walked over to the floating harbour, and I discovered that I hadn't been far away from that when I was there last time. I took a picture of the bridge again (Other blog post about that is here.) and bravely walked across to explore the city more.
Then... A lovely sweets-break.
Rounding it up with a picture of the two turtle doves. Bless them to bits.
