My nose feels funny.

For those of you who don't know, that't my standard line for "I think I'm on the way to getting drunk." My nose felt funny two hours ago.

Now my head is going buzzzzz and I should go to bed. Big day tomorrow and don't worry, you'll get to know all about it. I'm dragging an Italian guy I've never met before to the May 17th parade. May 17th is our national holiday, it was when, in 1814, our constitution was written. And having an exchange student here who doesn't realize what's going on, and will miss out on the whole thing unless I help him out, is just not cool.

It's the children's day, we don't have military parades at all, it's all flags, music, hot dogs and as much ice cream as you can eat. It's a wonderful day and, no matter how far I flee to get away from Norway, Norwegians and the Norwegian language, this day makes me proud to belong to this country. Whether I be in a small town in the middle of nowhere, or in a park in Paris marching alongside the ambassador, it doesn't matter. A May 17th parade is a Norwegian thing, we love it, we can't leave it, no matter how far we run.

Which Religion...?

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic
Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither
believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a
theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic.
Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the
existence of God (nor lack thereof). Agnosticism is
a philosophy that God's existence cannot be
proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and
follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout
believer if he or she does not truly believe.

Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)

I could believe that. I always cross the 'Other' box when asked about my religion and agnosticism sounds close enough to 'Other' for me not to think they're trying to categorize me too much. You don't categorize me. I'm special. And so are you.

Friday 13th

It's not. Not anymore. It's just late now. And the day has passed. You just wait for it and wonder every month "Did it start with a Sunday? Will the 13th be on a Friday?". It happens once or twice a year. And now it just did. And I didn't even do anything. Almost didn't even think about it. Nothing bad happened. That I remember. I just posted a post that looked weird.

The next Friday 13th is... January. Man.. that's a long time.. Eight months. You almost have time to have a kid before the next Friday 13th. Today I read about how the brain develops before you are born. Did you know that when the egg...cell...embryo thing gets attached to the uterine lining, it doesn't just get attached, but it actually starts to grow inwards, in a way. Its cells grows into the mother's body, it's not just something that grows inside a woman and is attached through the umbilical cord, but the cells actually grow from the uterus and into the body of the mother. There was a picture. I'm never having children.

What Are The Keys to Your Heart?

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.



Considering this is a random Blogthings test, it strangely enough sounds quite a bit like me...

And someone please please please help me get the white thing on top away. I can't just delete it and I can't find anything in the html codes that explains it. What do I do?

Edit: I did it, I did it!

My little heart

Today my heart broke. It came as a complete surprise, I didn't expect it to happen but it did. There were no signs, no warnings. You would think you'd see flashing lights and sirens for such a thing but no, there was nothing, just warm drops running gently down my cheeks.

I was in the shower when my necklace got caught on the sponge-like thing. It keeps doing that and I just ripped it off, it would take too long to untangle it. Then I saw a little circle.. thing on the floor. It was the thing that attached my heart, my darling little heart, to the chain around my neck. I looked everywhere, realizing my heart had broken but hoping it wasn't lost.

Not a lot of people see that heart. I've been told it's "simple" but I love it. I don't remember how I got it I just know I've had it for a long time. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve, so to speak, whenever I wear it, I keep my heart hidden under my sweater. Hide it so nobody knows I have one.

I found the pieces, now I'll try to put them back together. I'm relieved I realized what happened. It's so much better knowing how and when and why rather than just being left hanging, not knowing what happened or where my heart went off to.

Now I'll put it where no one can find it. Somewhere safe where it can't be touched. I don't want to have my heart broken again.

Panty Personality

You're a Hipster



That's right, funny girl, you know how to use your quick wit and wise cracks to work a room, a party, or even that cute guy you've been eyeing. So even if you've never donned some super silly and sexy hipsters, these funny undies match your sweet and fun-loving personality.


Hipster? My whole panty drawer (and all those that don't fit in there) just shuddered. Don't worry, I won't throw them out and start buying hipsters. I love my funny thongs too much.

Summer's coming

I've been able to see the sun set four days in a row.
I've picked flowers and seen blossoms on cherry trees.
I've seen men with dogs and babies sitting outside reading books.

Sure, exams are a week away and I won't have time to read all the books I'm supposed to read.
Sure, I still haven't found a summer job and it seems like I'm not meant to get one.
And sometimes, just sometimes, you catch yourself wanting things you can't have.

Shit happens.

But now summer's coming.
The sun is shining
- and life is good...


no... that's only true half of the time.

The Hair Mystery continues

I found another one of these today. It was lying right next to my pillow, beside my teddy bears (the rabbit seemed completely undisturbed by the whole ordeal). I checked the rest of my bed for dark strands of hair but didn't find any more. I checked under the bed to see if there was a monster there but found none. I even checked my hair to see if if it had turned all dark in the back (after all, you never see the back of your head so all kinds of strange things can be going on back there).

Then I thought maybe it's not hair, maybe it's some kind of thread or something. I had a closer look and saw that it was thinner in one end, just like normal strands of hair, there was no root but there was a darker spot at the other end. Again it is about 10-15cm (4-6 inches) long and it's straight although a little 'curved'.

One of my roommates (the four of us all have our own rooms but share kitchen and 'living room area') has dark hair, maybe she drops hair in the kitchen and my clothes suck them in and spit them back out onto my bed...

This is getting spooky.

"We're sorry! This offer is not available in your area. You will be redirected shortly."


I'm too far away to unsubscribe!

What are you gonna do?
