Thoughts on a Monday morning

It's 10.33 a.m here in Lund and I'm sitting by the computer with and almost empty cup of coffee, listening to finals songs on MTV's "top ten at ten" list (not my favourite show or kind of music, but there's nothing else on that's even remotely good).

As usual the weather is grey outside my window.

Grey 001

I totally hate it, cloudy and rainy isn't my cup of tea at all (well I suppose there aren't a huge number of people that like it, but I hate it more than most I think). For the time being it's not raining at least, and so I hope that it'll stay that way at least until I get to class.

At the moment I am waiting (impatiently) for the Christmas presents that have ordered to arrive. It hasn't been that long since I ordered them, so I'll probably have to wait for a day or two (or three) more, but we all know what I think about waiting...so you get the picture (the picture being me staring down into an empty mailbox with a sour look on my face).

And besides, it's not just the fact that I am bad at waiting for things, it's also that I would like to pay for it all before my economy goes to hell. Again (because let's face it, it will).

My mother (who I am speaking to at this precise moment) wants me to get a part-time job...Because I am bored and poor (ha ha, like you didn't know that). I know that she means well but frankly I'm getting a little tired of hearing it. I'm not made to work at a job I hate just to get money (and yeah, most part-time jobs for students are shitty ones that I would hate).

Mum thinks that I am snobby and silly when I say that, so I'm trying as hard as I can to avoid the subject (conflicts on the phone is never a good thing). We're on completely at different pages when it comes to this, that's just how it is...and for some reason my mother can't just agree ti disagree. 

Hm....oh well it'll work out in one way or another. It's not like we've never discussed (and fought over) this before.
I'm going to get back to getting ready now...My hair is (as usual these days) a mess and in dier need of help.

Have a great Monday guys! (^ _ ^) Matane!

Now playing: "Supernatural"

It's quite a good show actually. I started watching it a while back (it might have been more than a year ago) but then I stopped because...frankly it's a little scary (I'm a chicken, we have covered that). But now days it's on before some other things I wanna watch, so therefore I've started following it again.

Supernatural

It's about Sam (Jared Padalecki - left) and Dean (Jensen Ackles - right) Winchester. They are so called "hunters", which basically mean that they travel America searching for and battling against supernatural evil like demon's and such....or that's how it starts anyway. (I won't tell you anything more because in case someone hasn't seen the whole series I don't wanna spoil it.) 

I know that it might sound like a silly plot, but as I said I like the show (I suspect you have to watch it to get it actually)...not to mention the fact that Jensen Ackles (playing Dean) is very hot.

Supernatural-Dean

I first saw him in the series "Dark Angel" (featuring Jessica Alba) and when I noticed that he was in "Supernatural" I had to watch it. Because seriously, hot guys are never as hot as when they're a little roughed up. Wouldn't you agree? (Question asked to anyone who feel inclined to answer.)

☆ Buying Christmas presents ☆

Today I am spending my time trolling the Internet (well mainly 2 pages and not the whole Internet, but still) for Christmas presents for my sisters (I have 2 - 18 and 13 years old - in case you didn't know) and my dad. It's still quite early I know, but you all know what usually happens to my economy near the end of the month...so I figured I might as well do it now, while I have money to buy things for.
Why only these people? The simple answer is that their gifts are the only ones I've figured out so far (I love buying Christmas presents, but I'm terrible at figuring out what to get).

Anyway, this is what I got for my oldest sister:

Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel

Lauren Weisberger

She wished for an English book because she needs to improve her vocabulary and spelling (for school) and I figured that since she's not an avid reader this would be "challenging" enough for her. She read "The devil wears Prada" in Swedish and liked it, so I thought she would like this one too....The future will tell though, ne? ^  ^

My other sister is getting a book too (I'm giving both of them books because they both wished for it, and because I am the only one in the family that actually likes giving away books). Oh, and for all of you who doesn't understand Swedish (which is a majority I suppose) this is the fort "The sisterhood of the traveling pants" book. 

.,.,

As for my dad, I am getting him the dvd of "Angels and Deamons" (the titel in the picture is in Swedish, if you hadn't figured that out already). He listened to the book on cd and liked it, and since he and I are the only ones that does (well I don't think anyone else has read it, but w/e), I am the one giving it to him. 

.,,.,..

These 3 gifts will set me back about 60$ (perhaps a little less, but I rounded up because it was easier that way), but even though that's a lot for me I am glad to pay it. Because I love these people and I want them to get something they will be happy about...so it's worth it if I have to starve a little (or a lot) at the end of the month. And I am pleased because I know that since I am ginving them things that they've wished for, they will be happy to get tham...which makes it all 100% worth while. 

Hi hi.....did I meantion that I love Christmas!? And buying Christmas presents too!

Yoi ichinichi o mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!

*☆ No work all play ☆*

HappyFriday

Going out tonigth! ....and tomorrow! It's a hard life....or not. *Smiles*.

QotD: Happy Thanksgiving!

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

Okay so technically we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Sweden (it's a pity if you ask me, it seems to be a really nice tradition), but I figured that I could still list a few things I have thankful for...just because you don't celebrate it that doesn't mean you can't think about it.
So here I go. I am thankful for:

• My family and relatives - They may be loud and messy and over all not 100% politically correct all the time, but I love them all unconditionally and I feel so happy that I get to have them in my life. My family (including relatives) aren't that big, so therefore I have been able to properly get to know them all (and have them all over for birthdays and things). Sure I have some thing more in common with some of them, but they all mean so much to me. ♥
• My friends - Sometimes I wonder what I have done to deserve such great people. Really. I'm a selfish little minx that talk to much and to loud and I'm completely rubbish at listening to other people's problems...and still there are people that's there for me no matter what, always unhderstanding and nice when I do strange things. I'm such a social person that I wouldn't be able to be completely on my own, and so these people mean more to me than I could ever put into words. And on this note I have to give special thanks to my very best friend Michaela. There is no one that's there for me like she is, and I hope she knows how much I appriciate her for it.  
• You guys - Honestly. I never imagined that I would feel so in touch with people that I have actually never met but only knows over the Internet, but I do. And you're all so good to me, so sweet and caring and understanding when I comes to all my strangeness (and there is a lot of that last one, we all know that). Your comments really warm my heart, always know that.
• Myself - Ha ha, that sounds terribly narcissistic, I am aware of that, but for one I am quite narcissistic and also I think that everyone should be thanful for themselves. There is a lot I don't like (duh! as if you haven't noticed that by now), but over all I am thankful that I am me. I'm smart, socialble, healthy and on good days I think I'm quite pretty too...It was hard for me to write those words, because I suck at thinking good things about myself, but I'm working at the self-esteem thing and so I'm going to be happier about what I have trying not to think about what I "lack" so much.

Okay so there are a lot more things I'm greatful for, but they're smaller and if I started typing them too this list would go on forever (and we all know that I could do that, every single post that's suppose to be short turns out a million times longer than originally intended)...so I think this'll have to do for now.

Ki o tsukete mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!

Quote of the day

"No one dances sober, unless he is insane."

Soooooo true.

Good morning mina-san! ^^

It's 11.08 here in Sweden as I'm typing this, and I am pretty much done with my morning chores (being power-walk, breakfast, makeup, hair and clothes...that last one's not quite done yet).

Morning 001

This is the perfume I'm having today:

Thanks to my beloved aunt for thinking about the dirt poor me!

Me vs. Vox = Communication problems

Vox doesn't want to send me messages when someone comments/replies to a comment at the moment. And so I am trying to remember where I have commented and check if someone has replied (as well as checking all my posts to see if anyone has commented on them)...but I'm only human so I might miss something.

.,.,

And I guess what I wanted to say with that is that if I haven't replied to a comment somewhere or if you (you being random person that might feel affected by this) have left a comment that I seem to have ignored...

...it's not personal in any way.

It just has to do with the fact that I am quite forgetful (hell I would forget my own head somewhere if it weren't attached to my body) and that Vox doesn't seem to want to work with me at the moment.

You get it right?

Okay now that I have straightened that out I will get back to "preparing" my breakfast/lunch (it's 12.18 p.m sp techically it might not be breakfast anymore, but I haven't had one so...). It's noodles again, because I have nothing else at home.

Ki o tsukete mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!

A bowl of cereal on a dark winter's evening

So I have almost no food at home (new money on Wednesday though, luckily) so for "dinner" I had noodles (you know the "3 minute kind") and for my evening/afternoon meal I'm having All-Bran cereal with non fat yogurt and raspberries. It's not that bad, really, but it's not that funny either.

It's dark outside even though it's only 4.40 in the afternoon and I'm....well that's the thing really. I don't know how I am. Good for the most part, but there is something in the back of my head...something that I'm not quite happy about without being able to pinpoint what it is. I hate feeling down without knowing why, yet it happens every now and then. These days I'm never really very upset in the way I used to, but just sort of blue in this terribly annoying way.

I'm a little restless I suppose...and you all know how I get when I am restless. It's a part of my personality though, and I am used to it (I'm an artist on the inside, my emotions run me in a big way), but still it's not fun of course. When I was younger (I know it sounds a little silly when someone as young as me says that, but keep up) I could cry when I was sad...and afterwards I felt better. Now days it's not that easy (I don't even remember the last time I cried...which is of course both a good thing - I have been quite happy - and bad - crying is my way of venting, like some people scream or argue).

Luckily it stopped raining, which made the view outside my window even more bleak a few hours ago. However it's so dark now, that you probably wouldn't have been able to see it anyway.

*Sigh* Oh well...it'll pass. It's just the darkness at the moment I think.
