You´ve got mail!

Overdozed on coffee. Can´t see straight anymore. We are three girls trying to puzzle together some kind of essay on diversity within our own university. Running the last meters of this marathon-writing-course. My article on a segregated Helsingborg is getting published on thursday! And I´m leaving for Antwerp the same day:)

It is getting freezing here at night..runs below zero and I sleep in 2 layers of pyjama. Dear Santa, please make some snow.

On snow - You try to push a postwagon over-the-top FULL of christmascards in a snowstorm. You´ll love it.
Believe it, once again I´m working in the christmas-postelf-crew helping out the local post office delivering the BILLIONS of christmascards we icelanders choose to send. It´s becoming a tradition of mine during the holidays; torture myself with waking up at 7, surrounding myself with crazy people (who can know where you live just by knowing your name) and having my fingers nearly fall off due to frostbite and/or by getting them smacked in a mailbox. But it is a cheerful feeling delivering people post full of holiday spirit from their loved ones. I say Joy to the world!

I´m hungover and I woke up with a cocktail-umbrella in my hair.


I love birthdays. thank you people again and again for phonecalls, postcards, packages, messages etc - made me really happy:)

This year I wasn´t going to celebrate at all.. Karin and I were suppose to be diskplockers at the club in Malmö. When we arrive we get locked up in the Garderobe taking peoples coats. Sounds fun? It was not.

The party sucked. We were so bored in the garderobe we almost had a two-women-fashion-show with peoples coats...for the bouncers. We did not. Instead we smuggled beers into our nest..and decided to get wasted in the garderobe. Talk about closet-drinkers. Happy birthday.

At one the party sucked even more and after a few sad attempts to escape our post we finally got the go to leave. So we drank a large amount of alcohol in a short amount of time. Ingrid joined in and the last thing I know we stumbled into Bodoni..before I knew it I was at the title of my post. All in all it was a great birthday in a garderobe.

Today Im laying in bed listening one of the favorites..Tegan and Sara

Tegan and Saras new video to "the con" is out!!:

Heima - means 'at home'

I want to see this movie...

When you land in Iceland the flight attendant always says:

"Íslendingar, velkomin heim" ("Icelanders, welcome home")

It is such a nice feeling to land in Leifstöð, get out in the midst of nothing but lava and get that rain/storm smash in your face like being smacked with a wet tablecloth.

It would be recommended that I´d start to study now.
When I have too much to do..I usually (always) postpone everything to do in the middle of the night. When everyone is asleep.

I miss the drama. I need the drama. Everyone is settling down. Take "high school" - it was basicly one drama after the other (in one state or the other). It made the gossiping so spicy. Whatever happen to getting wasted and making out with strangers? What happen to having a crush on a person all wrong for you? What happen to the girl group-meeting to write a sms to some guy? Analysing every situation? Hopeless chases after the Romeos and Juliets?

I need to hang out with more single people.

I think I spent too much time laughing over this:
Torn by Johan Lippowitz w/Natalie Imbruglia

If this is not one of the greatest videos made I don´t know what is.
U2 - Numb


p.s. I have a confession. I clean the house to Kelly Clarkson. She is always so mad in her videos and that makes my floors so clean.

Perkele. I just missed the train to school.
I couldn´t find my traincard anywhere.
was a stupid lecture anyway.

Put my travelmug-coffee in a normal mug and just goofing around. I have to point out yet again. Always when I go to the library I´m always surprised I don´t go to the library more often. I mean, the place is a goldmine.
Lunds Stadsbibliotek has an impressive collection of cd:s..finding stuff I long gone stopped listening; GusGus, Bob Dylan, Cat Power, The Ark, Frank Sinatra and so forth..

Tomorrow my parents are leaving for Beijing and Tibet! I wonder how long a postcard takes to travel from Tibet to Ulrikedalsvägen 4p2/327, Lund, Sweden.

I had the worst red wine yesterday.. California Red - be aware.

Garbage? Who here listens to Garbage these days? Not me, not yesterday, not for years..Long gone sent for recycling. Today is a Garbage-day. Literally. It´s my week to take out the garbage.
Garbage Version 2.0.. Come think of life gone easy..It was summer and we were working a "gardening-job" (english: laying about in a flowerbed listening to radio and gossiping). This was the summer of concert Garbage and Republica in Reykjavík.

Now is the summer of missing your train to school in Lund. Funny that.

Garbage - I think I´m paranoid

Lime in the coconut
My milk carton is best before 11 oct! It´s almost christmas! My favorite time of year. The time I get to bug Marlous with annoying holiday spirit, christmas songs 24/7 and baking and decoration.
Skåneweather is at its best now; no wind, a bit chilly, sky´s clear blue and beautiful colors. Makes you want to wake up at dawn for an autumnwalk..see the day rising.
Ulrikedal and neighbourhood:


I found this beautiful hidden statue in my neighbourhood..
As you see I´m living the calm mans life. I´m even wearing my glasses right about now..Everything is a bit more clear.

This weeks addiction: 24!! My brother borrowed me the whole first season..how could I possibly get anything else done?! My life was on hold for 1041 minutes.

Upcoming; tonight´s bartending and tomorrow´s Sunday. Writing articles and groupwork..this course is lasting three more weeks.

People, for my birthday I´m possibly attending a Swing dance course! Very random. Why? I don´t know.
