birthdays are sad

are birthdays always extremely boring and depressing?
yep, apparantly.



I think my dad even forgot me, even if he doesn't admit it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

yep. 21
now I can legally drink in the USA
don't need to get older than this, thankyou!

all about me

some days ago, after reading jennifers blog, I wanted this simple diary for christmas
been looking on amazon, and found other books in the same series..

If: questions for the game of life
All about me

books that will make you get to know yourself, youar partner and your friends, filled with loads of tricky and interesting questions..

wanna have!

acompany me

had to go home from school today,
couldn't keep my eyes open, and I felt really ill, like I was gonna be sick
so I slept all afternoon, and now it just 5 P.M but it feels like midnight, when by the way, I will have my birthday!

I'd like some company
I have wine & crackers?

24 hours

The last 24 hours have been great
yesterday evening started with Sanne A coming over, with a bottle of wine for me, and gingerbread, crackers, 3 kinds of cheese & chocolate... after a while came Sanne S & Anna, and we had a pleasant evening with loads of beer & music..

went to Inkonst to listen to some AWESOME dubstep. it was frickin' the best EVER! Mensah from england & Slin from estonia..really, really good..
then me & Sanne A met up with Dominique & Robin, and we went back to my place for some party until we fell asleep in my bed and on the floor sometime around 7 a.m.

this "morning" we had american pancakes & oranges for breakfast...then back to bed for a couple of hours.. Mathilda came over for some nice chill & talk and she brought a gift for me a super-soft cosy bath-robe!!!! craziness! I was just thinking about it yesterday, that I wanted one..
so what I'm doing now is putting my tired body in a bubble-bath with incense, music, candles & christmas soda. then I'm gonna cook some nice saffron pasta, and after that watch the other half of "eat, pray, love"

wicked evening!!

birthdays

November 27th and it's Amandas b-day.
2 years ago we sat in our apartment in barcelona, partying with friends..good ol' times..
tuesday is my b-day, so i'm celebrating a bit tonight, with friends, beer, and dubstep @ inkonst club!!

congratulations amanda!

eat, love, pray

wtched half of Eat, love, pray yesterday.
wanted to read the book since last summer, but never took the time to do it.
so I watched the movie, and unfortunately, I guess now, reading the book will not happen. in a while at least.
longing to see the other half, was just too tired to concentrate last night.

it makes me wanna travel again. cause thats me, it's such a big part of me.
but I will.

and eat
and love.

eat, pray, love - thats all. that's really all we need.

the selby

life. the selby

spotify

I've made a spotify-list that I listen to every day, mostly when I need to clean or sort things out in the new appartment.
it's perfect for evenings home alone, perfect to wake up to, or fall asleep to..
It will always remember me of these days, so I even named it after my adress,

Uppsalagatan 23 (click)

turquoise

check this out
I need a water-boiler (is it really called that in english..hmm)
anyway, I was close to buying one today, a black one..thought it's easy to keep everything black, with the toaster and other household-machines that I'll get..but then I saw this one now..
I mean yeah it's really ugly, it's quite small. but it's cheap..and..its turquoise!!! like everything else in my apartment...hahah..i don't know..if I get this I might have to buy everything else in turquoise aswell? but that might be hard to find...

THE APARTMENT

me & my amazing pillow!

had a seminare this morning, of courseI overslept..well, I didn't even oversleep, I just put the alarm one hour too late..but I managed to come after half of it, so atleast that's fine.
then this afternoon I've been walking around to different shops, supermarkets & thrift-stores looking for furniture, didn't find any. though bought a cheap (and probably shitty) vacuum-cleaner...and other things..like food.mmm..gonna make a cauliflower-soup tonight..with coconut-milk!!
oh, also got some baby-clothes for my spanish friend who is pregnant!! there were sooo many cute clothes..almost got some myself..well..for the future..


anyway, my camera doesn't work but I took some pictures with the webcam, just to show you a bit how it looks..at the moment I don't have alot of furniture, so it's quite empty, but I'm getting there!

siple diary

I found this simple diary at Jennifer..
never heard of it before, but now I'm wishing for one MASSIVELY!

for me, who lovs to read my old diaries, but always too tired to write something new..this is perfect..

here or here

chocolate makes me happy

I'm feeling a bit sad.
sometimes you have those days when everything goes wrong..
like when you go to ikea and buy 6 new glasses, but when you're home only 2 are whole.
and you buy some boxes but when you come home you realize they are the wrong size (but atcually it turned out I needed them anyway)....things like that.

then I realized I bought a cake-thing today, so I can bake cakes!
chocolate-cake coming up NOW!

birthday kid

should clean up here a little bit if I'm gonna have friends over on saturday evening. don't know how it'll be now though, since nobody seemed to have finish the exam and now they're all saying they can't go out on saturday..that's what I said 3 weeks ago and they all said they would!! Oh such a pity, wanted to celebrate my b-day BIG time, you only turn 21 once..

turquoise

today I'm a little bit of everything
hungry, sad, happy, poor, rich

went to IKEA to buy some things I need..which are still alot, but the list is getting smaller..
wow, I now have like 6 bags from IKEA at home..craziness!! well only 2 from this time..I really really really really really really really love the corner in the end where they put everything with reduced-prices..sometimes it's shitty, but you always find something. today it was paradise!! There were several of those beautiful blue patterned blankets I love. so I bought one, cause I already had one at home..and then some curtains I've been wanting but they were waaay to expensive...they were still kind of expensive, so i tried to make it look like there was only 1, but the cashier got me in the end..too bad haha

anyway, tried to count how many days are left until my next salary/students-loan...realized I got it today soooo..one month to go..yey

also. why is EVERYTHING I buy turquoise?! my faovourite color is aqua not turquoise, i HATE turquoise?!? whatever.

finally at home

tired. really tired,
in my arms, in my mind...
but happy now spending the first night of many,
in my new appartment. at home.
there are so many things I need to do, like put my clothes in the wardrobe, but how boring isn't that?!

and I even managed to drive that huge truck today, though it's snowing outside..hopefully we managed without any scratches on the car, cause then I'll have to pay 500 euros á scratch..yey..

but there are still so many things i'd like to get for the appartment..like my sofas from home..OR, my big, soft, dream couch that was GIVEN AWAY here in Malmö! why didn't I see it before we had the car today?!?!?! oh my..it was all big and chunky and perfect to sleep infront of the tv in..
the ones I've got at home are nice but either too small or too uncomfortable (though really nice in retrodesign)

gonna eat my leftover pizza..put some stuff in the shelf I managed to put together eventhough screws were missing and whatnot.

it's too dark now, but maybe tomorrow I can show you some pics from the webcam if you'd like? well you don't have a choice

sweet dreams

regina spektor & snow

I just found this song, and I can't stop listening to it.
It makes me feel in love
though I've never been happily in love.

maybe it's just because Malmö looks so beautiful outside the window, covered in snow.
The houses around mine, look like gingerbread-cottages with icing. wish you could see it.

listen.

christmas

source: ikea

I'm packing the last things..well, as much as I can. I hate when you have to leave stuff cause you need to use it in the morning or during the night or whatever...
it's snowing outside. alot...probably when I wake up tomorrow it will still be there, and more of it! yes, it's kind of cosy but couldn't it have waited for like..1 (ONE!) day more? I'm moving tomorrow & I need to drive that frickin' 5 m long van with all my things in it..

bought some christmas-decoration today, lights & stars and stuff...but really wanna have a real christmas-tree this year, my first christmas in my first appartment :) with my mom & one of my best friends...and loads of food..and games..and maybe a nice movie, and just pecae & love!

oh! I found Settlers of Catan!!! we used to play it when I was a volunteer in France, and I loved it sooooo much, it's addictive and it takes hours to play!! you ind of need to twin land, and build cities and houses and stuff...

I just want to have a really homy home, cosy and all so that everyone just wants to come and visit me all the time & eat freshly baked cookies & buns, & drink tea & play games & watch movies...

lucky day

Oh my, I think I just woke up to my lucky day!
During the first 40 minutes of this morning, I found myself in 4 different lucky situations! 1 lucky thing each 10 minutes...I hope the day continues like this

first I checked my post,

• first one being an invoice for my salary at the clothingshop where I work extra. My salary was way better than I expected it to be, and also, during weekends you get 100% more (i.e double your hourly wage), and I only work weekends so...that's nice! I really need that money for buying stuff for the new appartment!

• second thing, I got a letter from a corean friend. first of all it was one of those vintage air-mail envelopes, I ALWAYS wanted to have one of those (does anybody know where I can get them?)..and inside this beautiful envelope, there were tiny little corean autumn-leaves..

• third thing, I got an e-mail from my spanish "sister" (the one who got married this summer), and she's having a baby!! I'm becoming it's swedish aunt! can't wait to go looking for baby-clothes to send them for christmas!

• fourth thing, I sold my first item on etsy!! somebody wanted my hand-jewellery-chain!

adios!!!

hunger

wow I have a male reader!!
(probably several..actually I now some others..but they are just to much of a chicken to admit it)
atleast I'm not writing in english for nothing then. (sorry for all the girly posts about dresses..hmm)

anyway, I'm soooo hungry!! just haven't been bothered to cook something, been busy packing my stuff..I have ONE box to put things in haha..but I'm creative, so bags, suits, baskets & plastic bags will work aswell..
only the clothes to go...oh those clothes, too many clothes!
what should I do with them? I have such a hard time separating from them..should I give them away to friends? to charity? or should I sell them? here? on Tradera (swedish eBay) ? or on eBay?

all these questions huh? it's enough with all the questions and analysises (?) I have to do for school!

but whatever..food..now
