....And I am wearing a sleeveless dress, which means I have to work really hard this week to feel comfortable >_<.
I ask her what she wants.
She says socks.
Well I'm not going to buy that...
...I'm not going to spend what little money I have buying socks. If I'm to spend money on something, it's going to be something fun.
Hm...what to buy? what to buy...?
Geees this is hard.
I asked my dad but he couldn't be of any assistance.
Not surprising...he's a great person in every way and I love him but (sorry dad) he not at all good at thinking of gifts and such...
Does anyone have a suggestion?
It's a 50$ (circa) limit (since I am poor these days, as you very well know)..meh.
...at the moment I am open to almost anything.
Oh well, I will think of something.
Oyasuminasai mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!
I know I know, it's the worst, most boring headline in the history of headlines, but I couldn't think of a good one. And I wanted to blab on about a little of everything, so it'll have to do for now...
Currently watching (re-watching for like the tenth or fifteenth time) Gokusen 2 (episode 2). For a number of different reasons I like season 1 the best, but season 2 is great as well. I mean Kame and Jin in the same drama (!!!), it's really a treat for the fan-girl in me.
Kyyyyyaaaaaa! So hot! I ♥ them ♥ them ♥ them! So talented! So gorgeous! So....just over all great!
Hrm....sorry about that, I'll focus now and get on with the post.
It was ice on the cars this morning! The photo was taken at about 8 a.m, and as you can see the moon was still out. Ha ha, it made me feel like getting back into bed (you're not suppose to be up when the moon is), but I didn't because I had things to do (power-walk, have breakfast, get ready and have lunch) before class.
I wanted to zoom more, so that you could see the moon better...but sadly this was all my camera could master (and it's not really possible to get closer so...).
It's not 10.50 p.m and it's 3 degrees Celsius outside. Ice cold, but better (or worse depending on if you like cold or not...of course) than yesterday (it was -2 then). Brrr....the Swedish winter is cold, and I can tell you that it's not even a little warmer even though I love in the "south" of the country.
Oh well, I'm used to it ^ ^
Oyasuminasai mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!

How come a person (me) can look into the mirror and hate what she sees, and then turn around and eat some more?
It's not okay.
It's not smart and it's certainly not healthy.
And it makes me feel shitty about everything (everything concerning my self-image that is) and just wanting to don't care anymore.
But I can't do that either, give up on my quest to be skinny and fit. Because the periods I have done that (there has been more of them than I care to admit), I have hated myself for it.
However...I'm getting near my limit. I have to figure out a system that's working not just during short periods but in life as a whole, or I'll go crazy.
For sure.
Help me. Because I just don't know anymore...
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.)
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:
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!
Going out tonigth! ....and tomorrow! It's a hard life....or not. *Smiles*.
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!
