Kversteinsparken i Hyllestad

2008-05-15T11:54:00.007+02:00

This park is called "The millstone park". It is 10minutes from my house.

You can experience a stonecutter's life a thousand years ago. Clad in Viking clothes, in evocative surroundings, you can cut stone, be a smith, mill your corn by hand, bake Viking bread on a bonfire, make your own Viking soup and enjoy a shared meal around a crackling bonfire. The visit to stonecutters' camp includes a guided tour of the historical quarry in Kvernsteinsparken (the millstone park) and a tour of the Åfjordstein works, where you can see how the millstone can be used in a new, modern design.The camp is organised for exciting, natural games for children and adults.The visit to the stonecutters' camp is an experience out of the ordinary, allowing you to participate personally in history a thousand years back in time. Many groups, and tourists pay for a day like this.. it is absolutely worth it. you can also walk around by yourself like we did that day, cause it is open all the time.. even if it's not anything happening there it is a beautiful park.

(on the picture beneath is my mum, she is a teacher in the children-school, and they have projects and have been there alot in the park, guiding for tourists and other schools, making viking soup, and bread and all that..)

( For a guided tour; Price Adults NOK 300. Children 5-13 years old NOK 200.

Children under 5 free)

Do you sleep at night?

2008-05-05T15:51:00.002+02:00

I've never slept a lot. Sometimes i sleep 3-4 hours, but most of the time i sleep 2 hours during the night. Sometimes i dont sleep at all. Sometimes it feels like there is someone else in my room, not like a ghost or a monster.. just someone else,like a person. I stumbled over this photo, i just had to post it. i think it was kind of cool, and kinda freaky. Sleep well ;)

Take a chance on "P.S. I Love You".

2008-05-04T16:43:00.005+02:00

there has been so much discussion on this film that i wasn't sure what type of movie i would be seeing - a drama, romance or comedy. the movie has all three - the film takes you on an emotional journey, one that everyone can relate to, losing someone you love and learning to cope with the loss is universal. this is definitely a chick flick that will not only make you cry, but make you laugh, plus the women will fall in love with Gerard Butler. Gerard was excellent in his part and Hilary did a fine job as well. at first i didn't think Hilary could pull off the romantic comedy role, but in the end you get use to her doing it. Hilary actually makes you feel her pain and how devastated she was when her husband died. i guarantee you that you will tear up during several scenes!! you will not be disappointed with the film. it is not an academy award winning film, but it is a tearjerker and definitely makes you go home and hug your significant other and be happy to have them in your life.

"P.S. I Love You" is one of the best romantic comedies in a long while, that has a great love story. Richard LaGravenese tells a wistful and touching tale with amazing performances and chemistry by Hilary Swank and Gerald Butler.

bored?

2008-05-03T16:27:00.013+02:00

i saw '27 dresses' yesterday and i just finished 'Juno'. Did you see them yet?

- 27 dresses was fun and specially the scene when she tries on all the dresses and a guy take pictures of her.. not a brilliant film, but i wanted some entertaining, and it was!! and what about Katherine Heigl,she is so pretty,and she did a fantastic job playing the woman that I'm sure everyone has felt like at one time!(at least a pinch of it, she was kinda obsessed.) normally, in a romantic comedy it does not require much acting, but Katherine Heigl manages to put in good acting to portray her jealousy towards her sister. the performance is playful and silly when needed, and sweetly honest in the more serious moments. Light popcorn fun.. like fast food, it probably won't stick with you for long, but it's good for some entertaining silliness!

JUNO

Juno on the other side, was more special. i really liked it. Juno chronicles the story of the sixteen-year-old girl (played by Ellen Page), and the fallout of her accidental pregnancy. after deciding to not have an abortion, Juno decides that she will give the baby up for adoption to would-be parents Vanessa and Mark Loring (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) after finding an ad in the local classified section of the newspaper. it may not sound like a deep film, but right from moment one, the film draws you into Juno's bizarre world of teenage angst and wonderment. it progresses through the stages of her pregnancy (and the seasons that pass), and through the various problems and issues that arise as a result of the pregnancy. i am not going to divulge more, but you should go and see it. it is heartwarming and bittersweet at the same time. i must add, the acting by Ellen Page was outstanding. i can't remember a film that i was so drawn in by the main character + the soundtrack is amusing.

Enjoy ;)

Bergen on a Sunny Day!

2008-04-19T18:04:00.003+02:00

So this is probably the most lousy film you'll ever see.. i didn't edit it much, just put together many clip from earlier today when Sylvia and I walked around in the city. Enjoy :D

Today is Tommy's birthday!!! WOHO, Happy birthday my dear brother-in-law. I guess my sister has made you delicious food and cakes, i know you're having a birthdayparty at your house today - next year i will make it to your birthday, cause then i live in Oslo!!! :)

I am moving from Bergen

2008-04-18T16:32:00.003+02:00

Going to miss Bergen, my friends, all the shopping malls(!!), my favourite cafè&pub, the street i live in and the city. i'm moving home to mum. home to the delicious dinners&everything my mum is making in the kitchen. home to the countryside.home to the beautiful nature..with the fjord and the mountains.home to hiking. home to my cute, fat cat. home to my room and dear bed. home.

going to stay there till august, and then i have to find a place in Oslo. Oslo is the capital in Norway, so it is bigger then what i'm used to. big and scary. but i am looking forward to it, i can hardly wait. i'm going to study there,and after a year i'll be a skin-&body-therapist.i want to open my own spa some day.. at least that is my dream.

so maybe i'll give you some tip about skin & different kind of treatments in here, after i've learned something in school, if you like? :)

Saturday night

2008-04-17T01:39:00.010+02:00

I live with two girls, and last saturday we had a surprise-party for Marte. (20 years old) she went out with her boyfriend on a fancy restaurant, romantic dinner for two.. priceless look on her face when they came back, and she entered the apartment and we yelled SURPRISE & sang 'happy birthday to you'. Marte is the girl in the left corner on top of the collage. it is i & sylvia(the other room-mate) on the picture next to marte&her boyfriend. We didn't have much time to prepare it, because Marte was home all day :P heheh.. we had less then 2 hours to bake, decorate the room with balloons, dress, put on make-up ++ but it went well!
3 hours later we went out, and we had a great night!! :) ..and here are some of the pictures from that night before we left the apartment.

look at me, what a jaw.. you can almost see my uvula!

here we are safe back home late at night/early in the morning, tired and hungry!!

This is ME

Dagens middagstips

2008-04-10T19:51:00.018+02:00

Du kan jo ta ka grønnsaker du vil, ta det du liker..
sikkert veldig godt med lime, løk osv.. det eg hadde i formen var;
- Gulrøtter
- Poteter
- Brokkoli
- Sopp
(og ørret så klart..)

Del opp grønnsakene og legg dei i bunnen av formen,
hell over litt olje. Krydre fileteene godt, og legg dei oppå grønnsakene. Ha lokket på og sett formen inn i ovnen på 200grader i tja.. en liten time.på slutten kan du godt ta av lokket så det får litt meir farge og blir litt sprøere på toppen,fks.dei siste ti min. Bon Appètit ;)

..and in english;
it is not important to have the exactly same
vegetables as me, subtract or add something new if you like. like onions, squeeze a lime over it ++ this is what i had;
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Broccoli
- Mushrooms
and the fish ofcourse. it looks like salmon, but i had trout.
Cut the vegetables in slices,and put it in the pot and pour some oil over it. spice it with salt and pepper and place them on top of the vegetables. put the lid on and in the oven. 200degrees in approximately one hour. the last ten minutes you can gladly take off the lid so it will be more crispy and colourful.
Bon Appètit ;)

So this is what i had for dinner today. I'm as PROUD as i can be. you see, i've never liked seafood.. i only eat fish when i -have- to.. like dinnerpartys and stuff. And suddenly i wanted fish, and i bought 4 pieces of trout and made me and my roommate, Marte a lovely dinner.
Today i made history!! i was excited, and didn't have high hopes for it. but you know what? it was really,
really good! I kid you not. i was so surprised.
Cured? weeell, let's not get ahead of ourselves..
i like trout and salmon, but that is as far as i go.

why

2008-04-09T21:55:00.000+02:00

why do we kill people
who kill people
to show people that killing people is wrong?

Here are som pictures from easter :)

2008-04-02T22:14:00.011+02:00

This is our view through the kitchen window.

My brother Peter (in the corner to the right), has taken all the photos.

i dont know if you notice, but it was a tired gang.. i think it shows on the pictures. Noa is in his most active stage, and we had the flu. the weather was quite windy,rainy..and actually so bad that we almost didn't go out all week! we managed to see a couple of movies together, we played games, the boys played football..and we chilled out together with a cup of tea,and snacks. And we had many delicious meals as always :)

..despite the sickness, the lousy weather,and Noa being RAMBO around us (it is not his fault, he is in 'that age') i had a dashingly fine easter! (even if he is Rambo i adore him, he is such a smart kid.)
- maria and i talked about it.. it is tradition that we are sick when we get together:P it is typical to get the cold, flu in the fall when we usually have a week holliday in october and visit them, and the same thing in the winterholliday in february..and then it is easter, and finally in the summer we can DO things,and everyone is healthy(at least the others) so.. i guess we are used being ill around each other, we make the best of it - and i think everybody had a blast this easter ;)

we missed Erlend and June - however i have to admit, we are a big family - and it can be kind of chaotic some times.. the house isn't big enough anymore when my siblings have a husband/wife and kids + that my grandma came on a visit for four days. And still Peter and i haven't met the right person yet, and when we do..man then it'll get crowdy! but it is so much FUN too.
i love having a big family.. and bigger it shall be.

April Fool's Day

2008-04-01T03:39:00.006+02:00

Even how prepared i am: every year someone tricks me into believing this&that. especially my mum, she is an expert. i am sure she'll kid me into believing all kinds of things tomorrow even how prepared i am.she doesn't only do it once, last year she got me 5-6times. she tells all kind of stupid things, that could be true, so if you're gonna play a trick one someone, it is easier to tell them something that is not totally unrealistic, but something that might actually be true..
i thought it was fun making up crazy jokes when i was younger, but i dont think it's so much fun anymore.. i will not trick you into anything.because i think it's stupid.

aww.how Cute.

how my heart behaves

2008-03-31T14:58:00.003+02:00

i hate not knowing what to do, or what i'm doing.. or how i feel. but i do know how i feel, you can't not know how you feel.. can you?deep down, you know.
sometimes, i want to feel something i don't feel, or the other way around.i, sometimes try to decide on what to feel, cause my mind wants me to. i ignore my heart, overlook my feelings - and decide to feel this and that.
that is incredible stupid of me to do. cause in the end i have to listen to my heart, i should do it from the start.but then again, my heart is kinda annoying at the time, it keeps going on and on,and on about the same stuff.no wonder i ignore it or shut it up now and then. but i should listen more, so i wouldn't mess things up more then it allready is.. or waste too much time.

It is not always easy when your mind tells you what's right, and your heart disagrees. I got to have a serious talk with'em soon-they have to kiss&make up and become bestfriends again;)

ok,i've finally decided. Norwegian it is. (i think)

Green Street Hooligans

2008-03-28T18:38:00.007+01:00

this movie is So much more than a brutally violent film. the story between the character, relationships, series of events, all put together made this nearly perfect! the movie is showing us that everyone need to stand for something,you fight the best you can; to protect whats dear to you. Pete(Charlie Hunnam) says to Matt (Elijah Wood) - ”You don't run, not when you're with us... You stand your ground and fight!” Brilliant acting, especially Charlie Hunnam. if you think Elijah Wood didn't fit in this movie,you're awfully wrong..i must admit that i was skeptic myself, still picturing him as frodo. Actually..his sweet, kind demure is what was so great about the character.and all the supporting actors were fantastic!! Charlie is perfectly charismatic . Claire, Marc, all the firm members, made it feel like i was watching something real and not manufactured. it's not about the violence and hurting someone else..it's the reasons behind it, who you become, what you find out about yourself. the movie is bloody,with beautifully,brutal fights. Still..after seeing it, i want more. (by the way,i love their accent)

In the end i want to quote Matt Buckner:

”I've never lived closer to danger, but I've never felt safer. I've never felt more confident, and people could spot it from a mile away. And as for this, the violence? I gotta be honest - it grew on me. Once you've taken a few punches and realize you're not made of glass, you don't feel alive unless you're pushing yourself as far as you can go.”

ta-daaa..

2008-03-27T03:08:00.012+01:00

i am bored, and therefore i made a new blog! i have to find out how to change on some details, on the design.still working on it:D but you can still come and visit, even if not everything is how it's supposed to be.i'll still post in here, because this is the blog about me..the other blog is going to be mainly about FASHION <3

i had a blast in Førde saturday night!!

2008-03-24T09:36:00.006+01:00

i had so much energy on saturday, and i wanted to do something..so i jumped on the bus to Førde, and visited Åshild and her boyfriend Vegard. it was so nice to see her again, i had a really good time,girl ;) He's with the band, 'Jewels Of Glory' - and they were playing that night at 'pikant'. we were on the guest list, free entrance! they were excellent! the vocalist has a distinctive voice which i imagine is one you will either like or you won't. personally, i love it! Check it out!

"Stay in bed!" (Doctor's Orders)

2008-03-08T15:18:00.000+01:00

do you take life for granted?i do, kind of.. most of the time.you're just walking around, living your life, and then BOOM - something happens. maybe one in your family have cancer, a car accident or whatever..something that makes you think about life, and death, and how sudden it can change.something that makes you think about how fragile you are, how much you care for that someone and how incredibly many negative,what-if-thoughts that rushes through your mind in just a few seconds of time. i think i frightened my close ones thursday night.the last 3 days i'd been staying in bed,in the dark. i had to see the doctor, i was oh so diseased.i thought it might be migraine or otitis,or both at the same time.. 40minutes drive to the doctor - he examined me, and he called the hospital and talked very low so i couldn't hear.. he examined me again,and then he said that he suspected it to be meningitis(hjernehinnebetennelse), and to be sure, he wanted me to get examinated explicitely by experts. the ones i've heard of who's had the disease has died - but even if they thought i had it, i didn't think so..
- and then my driver had to take me to the hospital in Førde as well, thank you so much Mr. :)

a lot of examinations, a lot of doctors and nurses.. a lot of hustle and bustle :p more doctors entered the room, each one wanted to examine me, and do the same tests as the other ones.. then they had to call a doctor which was home and not on duty. noone had done the last test they had to do, they only knew how to do it in theory. they had to deplete(tappe) some (2,5glasses) fluid(spinalvæske) from my spine(ryggmarg), brain-fluid actually.. i had to lie in a special way,and to bend my back like a cat..(seen a cat in a catfight?bending their back,and the cathair stand up in the air)..so that it was easier to get the needle inbetween the bones(klotene).i took it without any narcosis actually, cause then i had to wait longer, and one of the doctors asked me "Are you tough?you look like you are tough".. and i said yes,ofcourse i am.. so therefore no narcosis. did it hurt? OH YES! IT DID, SIR!

so now i've seen my own brain-fluid, fascinating alright!!

i got the test-results yesterday; i didn't have it. i'm glad! I have a seldom virus-infection instead, so i have to stay in bed for a while. after taking out the fluid i must expect pressure&headache, pain in my back and so on.. i feel terrible. fever, pain, too much pressure in the head and back when i sit, walk, stand. boring to stay in bed/sofa all day,but i have to.
i had the choice if i wanted to stay in the hospital or to go home to mum - ofcourse i chose the second one. hospitals are boring, filled with sick ppl, and you often have to share room with old ladies who talks too much,caughing,and all other kind of 'bodysounds' ++

i'm home now, parked in the sofa in my room in front of the tv, with the laptop in my lap, all kind of food and drinks around me.. fruitplate, candy, cookies, slices of bread, tea,ice-tea, coke ++ and a phone to call mum downstairs if i need anything.

wonderful news

2008-03-06T03:33:00.000+01:00

My sister called - she and her husband,Tommy + little, dear Noa are coming for the easter holidays - woho!! looking forward to it :))

2008-03-04T19:36:00.008+01:00

you left almost an hour ago - and i miss you SO much already. it is always incredibly sad to say goodbye to my sister,Maria. i love having her around, it's like i never get enough.even if she's been here for two weeks now, i think she left too quick. with the distance and all, i actually dont see her seldom.. but ofcourse.. ca. 2-3months inbetween each time i see her. - i've tidied up in the livingroom, kitchen,the hall and in my room.. alot of babytoys,books, some clothes, his chair&bed.. there are traces from Noa everywhere - i really miss him !!

i'm going to Oslo to school in August, and then i'll get closer to them, to my father, to my brother,Erlend - and i'm looking forward to it. but then, i'll miss my mum and my littlebrother,Peter very much.. and my hometown. i'm glad i have such a nice family, i'm glad i have someone that i care for,and who cares for me - i love you guys!
- hugs and kisses from me, to you all ;)

2008-03-02T03:29:00.001+01:00

oh how it pleases me - the first few seconds when i wake up,and i feel a bit sleepy and awake at the same time.even better if it is storming outside as well.i love the morning.

..and to pick up Noa(my nephew) who just woke up,way too early by the way. warm&soft. it is so snugly when he put his arms around me, and wants to cuddle. aww - priceless feeling ;) even how tired you might be,you can't be mad at the little toddler who's smiling at you. i too want a baby.. i just gotta finish my education,and yes, most importantly; find a man.

Today i was going to post something about how hard is to find mr.right, and i asked the question if he exist and so on.. but then one of my best friends newly got engaged, and i thought i should congratulate them. i'll post the one i wrote about mr.right some other day instead.

i am so happy for you Eldrid, i cant believe you're getting married. or i had a sneaky suspicion,so i mailed you, and i asked if you were getting engaged, and i was pretty surprised actually when the answar was YES. I met Martin last summer, and i liked him, i was so relieved - he was fun, sporty as you, and i really had a good time that day i spend with you guys. The last couple of years you've been in USA, and i've missed you alot!ofcourse i hope you'll settle in Norway, but you never know where you end up girl. you are everywhere, seldom in a place longer then maximum a year ;O

this is so exiting.. what dress, what cake, what suit he's going to wear, how your hair will be(i'm picturing something natural and romantic) ..i've also wondered who your maid of honour will be (i'm guessing your sister maybe).. and i've allready thought about what to get you for your weddingpresent. as you can see i am pretty excited, and very happy for you. me and maria have been talking about it and picturing things.. you know us, we love weddings, details and planning. it is so fun. but it is also soo much to plan!!

you have an exiting, stressing and fun time in front of you.

Do not hesitate to ask me if you need any help, count me in sweetie ;)

My sister and her son Noa(11months old) came almost a week ago, and their still here. it is so nice to have them here, they live too far away from us! i think they'll stay for another week:))
they are both sick, got the flu. my sister is exhausted, and so is he.. and so are we by now (my mum and i) - poor little thing wont recover. high fever, a bad caugh, and very snotty. he wont sleep, eat or anything. he's still high and low, active and super-cute.. just a bit more whining over nothing cause he's not feeling well poor kid,and that's natural. it cant be easy being a little baby.
Also he had tooth nr.3 on the way that showed up today actually, and that's been very painful for him. and i think he miss his dad, he is back home,working. but they've 'talked' on the phone,and we've showed him pictures.
now i've got it too. fever, soar throat and my ears, you know me.. me and my damn ears. otitis is in the air.. i hope to avoid it by taking a lot of medicin!

the movie is Nominated for 8 oscars, and it allready won a Golden Globe:Best Actor; Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel Day Lewis performance is in a league of its own. also Paul Dano gives a surprisingly mature performance, showing that he has come a long way since he played the silent teenager in Little Miss Sunshine,( did you see that one?) There Will Be Blood is not the type of story that gets told very often. a multi-layered portrait of all that comes with a desire for power. afterwards i was smiling, and i felt kind of exhausted and thrilled. you should go see this movie.
It is much better if you don't know what to expect. Except for blood.

(happy) valentines day.. ;)

it's funny how hello is always accompanied with goodbye.
it's funny how good memories can start to make you cry.
it's funny how forever never seems to really last.
it's funny how when you need someone they're never around.
it's funny how people forgive, even though they can't forget.
it's funny how ironic life turns out to be.
but the funniest part of all; is that none of that's funny to me..

Happy Mother's Day Mum, You're The Best =)

i've been on an interview today at a school i applied on, in Oslo - it is not quite normal to do an interview to get into a school in Norway, but this particular school emphasize the students interests, and they prefer to meet the students.. then to see the school-leaving certificates. at first she said that she always thought about it for a few days before she took an decision - but in the end of the interview i got in! i am so pleased&excited!! oh yes, i forgot to tell you what kind of school it is..silly me! the name of the school is 'Beauty Skin Care School' .. it is one intensive year,and then i'm done. my dream is to start my own saloon some day, spa and skin care.

i have to move to Oslo - the capital. i've always thought it seemed a bit scary.. big city you know. but i guess it wont be long before i like it there. the school starts in august - and i'm really looking forward to it! this is what i want to do, it feels good to be on the right track again.

if you have a boyfriend, a lover, a partner and it doesn't work out, you can break free and go on with your life, yes? But,
if your friendship with someone are getting either tiring or complicated, you don't tell them "it's over". you can't break up with a friend.it's just not how it's done. so what do you do when you feel like you're going mad.. how do you get out of it?you can't just say "this is not working out for me, i dont love you anymore" or "it's not you, it's me" it just seem silly to tell a friend that shit - so.. you're stuck with the person, and you just gotta hang in there. you can try to ignore them, or to pick a fight so you become enemies, but still; there should be a more classy way to break up with a friend; then make them hate you.

..one of those movies that just pulls at you.

2008-01-25T00:18:00.000+01:00

take all the music, everything you've heard, read, seen in documentaries about Bob and throw them in a blender and pull them out and what you get is; "I'm not there". the more you do know about what's out there about Bob the more you'll be able to make the connections with the scenes in this beautiful movie about the poet, songwriter, and musician genius of the last 60 plus years. this is a great movie about a very complicated artist. - i loved Cate Blanchett. it was weird to see Heath Ledger, he had the second biggest part in the movie,he was great - and the thoughts of his death kept hitting me..it is so unreal. also many other great actors such as Richard Gere, Julianne Moore, Christian Bale++

it is just one of those movies that just pulls at you.one of those movies that doesn't stop when it's over.. it keeps running in the back of my mind. i believe that either you love the movie, or you feel it was a waste of time and money.

Time: 19:12

2008-01-12T19:12:00.000+01:00

Everyday at 19:12 i look at the watch - and when i see what time it is, i think about the year 1912,April 14 - The British ocean liner RMS Titanic strikes iceberg at 11:40 pm, and also i think about the Summer Olympics which were held in 1912 in Stockholm, Sweden - and so on,you get the picture.(when i see the time,and i get a year out of putting the numbers together,i think about what happened that year.i cant help it-i just gotta list up everything in my head..and then i can go on.but this particular time 19:12 i never miss.)

Do you want to get engaged?

2008-01-10T07:19:00.000+01:00

before.. like in the 'old days' when my parents were young; if you wanted to get married, you got engaged first. if you were engaged, you definitely should marry the guy.you'd set the date together, plan and wait. from the moment you decide to marry a person, and choose that person - you're engaged.it is the waitingtime till you can actually get married, cause if you want a wedding you have to plan a bit.. and save up some money maybe.
- now it is different. now you dont ask if the person wants to marry you, it seems like many decide to get engaged instead. the question is not "do you want to marry me?" but, "do you want to get engaged?"

i get all distraught when i meet people who's engaged and has no plans whatever marrying the guy/girl. many persons i know are engaged infinitely.. as long as it keeps them happy i guess - it is just interesting to see how time changes. in the old days it ment that you were going to get married - and now it is just a step further in the relationship,and it doesnt mean anything more then the fact that you are engaged.. and thats that."why do everyone keep asking about a wedding?!" :P

2008-01-06T12:47:00.000+01:00

Yesterday i saw 'Across the universe' at the cinema. It is a musical, based on the songs of the Beatles. it was great, i loved it. you should go and see it if you have the chance! (personally i dont like to see the trailer before i see the movie, it divulge too much.but i know most people like to check out the trailer first; press the link if you want to see it.)

people come, people go

sometimes it feels like i look around with a new pair or eyes.cause even if i've seen it before; it sure looks different, or it is whole new to me. it is weird when it happens. suddenly something attracts me, suddenly i notice something that's always been there.it is more apparent then it used to - i pay attention to it, i listen - and i watch. and the things or people i used to be attentive too; slowly fades away without me noticing, watching the new discovered things and people.

I'm not going to post any more pictures before next year.

Sometimes, when i hear about people who is dead or about to die, i keep on thinking about death. i don’t worry about whether it is going to be a painful and long death or not. what i worry about is how can you just like that.. not exist? How can I not be? i mean.. i understand it, but at the same time i really don't. i don’t understand that it is possible to not be, not exist, to be actual dead. Buried. Like in not breathing. People die, i know that. i will die some day too – and man.. that is weird. (and if death are as natural as everyone wants it to be, how come most people wont like me writing about it?people die, but i most certainly don't think it is natural, despite everything i know about the human body)

this christmas is going to be different from all the others i've celebrated. we have never been so few before. that's how it goes when siblings get married.. this year both my sister and brother who lives in Sarpsborg are going to stay there with their in-laws.. so it's just me, my littlebrother Peter and mum at home. at first i thought it would be a disaster, a really boring and sad christmas..but then again now when it's closing in, and i am exhausted of school and everything - i am a bit pleased as well.i am looking forward to a peaceful and lazy christmas;) and also at the same time looking forward to next christmas when everybody is gathering again like normal.

Noa is very active, and it's not long before he can walk by himself!he crawls and he can walk as long as we hold his hands.
- there was 3 babies at the party, all the time one of them was crying, eating or sleeping.. hehe.
it is a lot of fun with babies, charming, cute, but also very noisy and tiring!!
2 babyboys and a babygirl. On the bottom of the collage you can see 3 babies on a row ;
Julian, Leah and Noa :) Julian is my stepbrother, and Leah is my cousin's (Paul Atle) daughter.

it's not like i have nothing to do. i am behind in school in most of the subjects.. and i have my third exam coming up soon - but still i feel like i have nothing to do. i have done alot of homework today actually.. but i feel like life is so meaningless sometimes. not like i'm-depressed-and-feel-like-there-is-no-reason-to-live-kinda-meaningless.. but that the days go by and by, and i feel like i dont do enough.i am young,i'm in my prime-age.i mean.. this is it.now is the time to live my life - we only live Once. this is before family, children, work&all the other responsibility.and what do i do? i sit in, i dont do much.. i should live more,shouldn't i? so therefore i have been out every day the last week with friends,doing stuff.. and i also have plans the next days to come.
i guess i'm one exhausted,poor(as in Broke) girl on sunday morning when i wake up. at least i have been doing something this week and had alot of fun ;)

2007-11-10T02:43:00.000+01:00

i often think and i plan what i want to do if i win alot of money. actually,it's more like when i win.i'm quite an optimistic on this subject. i think i'm going to win every time i play "Lotto"(gambling-game). if not daily i sure think about it several times a week. like if i had all that money i would quit school and pay a private teacher to teach me what i need.. i would travel,for example: go to london on shopping with a friend(which i'm paying ofcourse), i would attend many concerts, invest in my own apartment, i would pay down the rest of the houseloan mum's got, and my brothers education-loan and my own ofcourse ++
i'm not saying that i think that my life would be painless, perfect and free of all problems.. but money sure helps.
did you notice i didn't say 'give money to charity'?i'm no saint.i dont know if i would do it even if i hope i would..it depends on how much i win;)

cathrine and me ;)

i actually dont celebrate halloween at all, it is not a norwegian tradition..and norwegians are not thrilled by the kids who's trying to introduce it to our country. what i should be doing is: reading.. my history exam is closing in - i do everything but what i'm supposed to.

i've been baking, cleaning, washing clothes and so on..

now i have to sit down and READ.

in this modern times,everything is possible in the world of dating. the sex doesnt matter. the skin-colour doesnt matter.status doesnt matter.but age!it can be a crucial thing for men who's out hunting girls.
you see, younger men - or should i say 'boys' are not accepted among most girlgangs. younger men are childish, unexperienced and..boys.

i once met a guy on a pub when me and my friends hit the town a few years ago.. he was a real charmer, handsome and fun. he told me he was 25. we talked with him and his friends for a few hours.. then he told me he'd been lying about his age.it turned out that he was 1year younger than me. in less then 3 seconds of time he went from being totally charming to totally uninteresting.real turnoff. Minimum age limit: Same age as me.
A man has to be at the same age as me, or older. Elderly men is the thing.. but then again we dont want stale,ooold men. we are sick of all the 50yearsold men who think they are God's gifth to their daughters friends. Yeah,we like elderly men, but without the wrinckles,drewling and the big beer-belly(ølvom.. ) Maximum age: 10 years older.

why is age this important to so many people, me included? 1 year younger than me is almost as bad as 10 years older. how did this happen, all in all isn't the chemistry the most important thing??and if not, shouldn't we go out and find ourselves a young,frisky man who'll live as long as we do? like Demi Moore has done.
Girls! it's time to give a shit in what others might think - quit juding other people.a number tell us nothing about a man. it is time to see that a 21 year old man can be as grown up as a 26 years old.
i have a few friends who's dating younger guys. you go girls!!

oh no! this is not good.

i got a letter in the post today from the exam-agency.. and i got an unpleasant surprise when i opened it. it was the dates of the three exams i'm having before christmas..
oh yes; i'm in big trouble. they've forwarded the dates on two of the exams. the first one is allready on the 7th of November,"new history" - my 'social studies'-exam is coming up at the 20th of November, and then it's math on the third of December. i've got to get a hold on myself on this subject too.. i have never been as slack in school before like i've been this year! specially history,i've just been to three classes this fall.. this is bad. how is this going to end?! and what tha fuck is wrong with me.. i'm so apathetic and weary of everything - and still i almost havent done anything this fall.

my dear sister, her babyboy and peter (one of my two brothers) is arriving Bergen tomorrow - i can hardly wait. i'm exited to see noa(the baby), i haven't seen him since 18th of May, he is six months old now. he has learned how to sit up by himself, started "talking" and he is quite active i hear. they are staying at my place one night, and then we'r all heading home to Leirvik on friday, home to mum:)

well, i dont know what you interests are.. but what you could visit in Bergen:

the home of Edvard Grieg, 'Troldhaugen' (great composer)
bergen aquarium(seals and penguins playing in the large pools welcome you to the aquarium that has as one of europe's largest collections of fish and invertebrates actually!)
mount floyen: the popular funicular railway to the top of Fløien from where you will enjoy a spectacular view of the city.
'Bryggen' is the name of the world famous waterfront in Bergen. the characteristic parallel rows of buildings, with their seaward-facing gables represent a building tradition dating back almost 900 years. the old wooden buildings along the harbor front in Bergen were placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1980.
the Hanseatic Museum,it is situated in one of the old trade houses at Bryggen.it is just down the street from where i live now,so i went there some weeks ago. the museum has old interiors from the 18th and 19th centuries.the Hanseatic League had one of their foreign Offices at Bryggen in Bergen from approx. 1360 until 1754.
Hakon's hall; the largest and most imposing building of the royal residency in the 13th-century. center of Bergen. 600 meters from the fish market
Stave church originally built in Fortun in Sogn&Fjordane in 1150. It is in Paradis, approx. 6 km from center of Bergen

The city is intimate, and has personality with it's narrow valleys, lots of comfortable&snugly cafè's, the white wooden houses.. it is nice to walk around here. Many toursists like the fishmarket, personally i hate the smell of fish -it isn't my favourite-type-of-smell.

Ofcourse the fjords are worth to visit.. if you're in Bergen, you should also visit my home-county Sogn&Fjordane, to see more of the fjords, the worlds longest fjord. The region where this deep fjord meets the glaciers and Norway’s highest mountains is considered one of the world's most beautiful travel destinations. The greatest attraction of the Sognefjord is its immense variety of landforms gathered in one and the same region - from wide-open fjord landscapes and green hills to narrow fjord arms, massive mountain ranges and spectacular blue glaciers - creating the natural settings for small, idyllic fruit-growing villages, modern communities and isolated mountain farms. i could go on you know, i guess it's enough for now :)

2007-09-28T17:06:00.000+02:00

do you know, and this is a fact: this is Day nr.2 since i moved here, without rain! ..and i've been living here since the 22th of August. Isn't that sick? i know i'm known for loving rain&storm and everything, but i do have my limits! i've enjoyed to be able to go outside the last days without the umbrella in my hand, fighting against the wind.it is always rain&wind at the same time, so the umbrella twists, and you look like a fool walking down the street with your hair in your mouth,eyes.. and the wind turning your umbrella inside out. the other day on my way to school, the wind destroyed my umbrella within a few seconds of time,looking like this, and i had to throw it in the trash. In Bergen.. you should always carry an umbrella in your purse even if it's sunny when you step out - you never know! Bergen is fabulous on sunny days. it is a city with soul and charm. definitely a city to visit if you've not been here yet.

it's a beautiful day, don't let it get away ;)

2007-09-20T23:32:00.000+02:00

i miss Førde.. i knew i'd miss it - but not as much as this. i miss the quiz-night at wednesdays.the one and only place to go out on saturdays 'tresken' (call me crazy.) my workplace&colleages.the apartment i used to live in.the city&the people.friends. the funny thing is that, when i lived there, i was sick and tired of 'tresken', work, the city and the same people.. stupid,right? still.. i miss it.. somehow.
Bergen is nice though.i have friends around me, the school is ok, it is more to do here and a lot more shoppingcenters.. but everything costs money, and it is more expensieve to live in bergen than førde.i hate the broke-part of living here.

-> oh man.its thundering and lightning outside - i looove this weather (read:when i'm inside,safe&dry) it is pouring down, hitting my bedroomwindow like hail.. i can see the lightning flashing through the curtains.only thing missing is to curl up next to your boyfriend..

i found this smashing cafè,you have nooo idea!!

2007-09-10T18:04:00.000+02:00

the other day when i was walking around i found this retro cafè in a narrow valley,
and i thought to myselfe that i had to get back there with a friend and check it out.i'm glad i found the way back to the cafè today, and as i entered it, i was back in the 60ties.it was just fab!!i loved it.i dig it.this is the place i wanna hang and drink milkshake&have pancakes after school, have a beer before i head out at to a party a night, or a cup cocoa one boring sunday afternoon when nothing else is happening. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

it is funny to see how much i've changed in a couple of years - this is from a trip to visit dad in Ireland when he lived there.me,my sister and her husband. inbetween the pictures,you'll see me being silly in front of the camera.. it is one saturdaymorning with lots of energi,rufflehead,no make up and so on.. so.. this is me.stupid ideas and nothing to do really.. i guess some will be a bit surprised, cause it's just foolish!! thats why im posting it - i cant always just post pics that i look good on.. cause everyone is silly sometimes.. and this is typical me. it's just so many ppl who never get to see it.

2007-08-31T10:35:00.000+02:00

sometimes i wish i could fast forward time .. just to see if in the end it's all worth it.
