curiosity killed the cat
- Sep. 4th, 2007 at 8:27 PM
Second day at UNI was a rough start - but a very lovely one! After three and a half hours of maths we grabbed a quick sandwhich before another three hours of biology. I love my student life. It feels good to be back in the game. (Please try to tell me that on Thursdays when I have six hours of maths before working the evening shift at my job with no dinner break inbetween).
No, seriously I really love it. My classmates are a wonderful bunch of people. There're around twenty-five/thirty of them; men and women all inbetween my age and thirty-five. All very talkative and easy-going.
Parents have decided to join the weight watchers again. *sighs* even dad has left my side! Fine, so I know it's good to eat healthy and all that: and I do. What I don't understand is why you have to eat so little of the healthy food. *shakes head* I have a feeling I'll fall back on my own cooking very soon.
Curiosity killed the cat. Actually, it was the hot tea that made it for Nikki. Poor bastard. She had it coming though. (But that still doesn't explain why I got the bed full of wet cat).

For those who know me, I don't have to explain, but to the rest of you guys: I'm very good with words. I'm also very sarcastic, e. g., my previous sentence. Anyway, today this customer came up to me. He was probably in his good nineties, and was about to pay me the 106SK he owed me for the game. Then he said something like, "I'll give you 6 (In Swedish, for those who don't know, the words six and sex are spelled and pronounced the same way), or am I too old for that?" And I, of course - who spoke before I had the chance to think - said, "As long as you get it up it's fine by me." Yes, we did laugh, and I got some extra tip. XD
I actually have a day off tomorrow. And, I've planned it down to the last minute, but still it feels like it won't be vraiment complete without a few hours of working. I guess that says it all. ^__^ Still, I can't wait to see Cicci again, my little Paris Toujours and I just haven't had enough time this summer. Which probably goes for a lot of friends of mine. *sighs* It sucks, it really does, but in the same time - I'd probably go crazy if I didn't work. It's like walking a tightrope.

My week of vacation is over and I'm back in town and back to work ^__^ the stay in the summerhouse was great, just me and my cat and the sea... and of course my own captain of norrfjärden decided to show up, enlightening my stay! XD
For Daiko, an update on my RPG count, it's now... 27 XD Whew, sure know how to keep myself busy *grins* In fact, I just started on a new one, within the military genre, of course ;) I need to get out more often! Oh, wait - I do! Funny how much being out of High School has changed my social life. From having no time at all to suddenly have so many days and nights to just enjoy. It's the strangest feeling and I'm still getting used to it. Luckily, I'm still working enough hours to keep my mind relatively clear. Else, I would probably go nuts, bonzo and completely insane to quote a dear Colonel. It's interessting to watch the change in my friends as well, some of them are so diffrent from the people I graduated with. Like they've finally found the time to develope themselves a little and not just only on the intellectual plane. It's most definitely inspiring! ^__^
And then of course, there are always new people you meet along the way. Some of them takes up more space than others. McKay, if you're reading this: I'm not talking about Pete! My thoughts are heading way much longer South ;) *sighs* yes, I admit it - I really do miss you. And I can't wait to have you back for long chats through [my - not your] nights.
Oh et Kelly, le petit secret - ce n'est pas petit! Au contraire ;)

Wow, I have to say - the modelling thing yesterday was a lot more fun than I'd expected. The only time I felt any discomfort was when I caught the eyes of my principal when I was wearing the baby-doll dress from 1950. That man seriously needs to get his hormones in check. *shivers*
God, I am so glad the project presentation is finally over. It's not that I was nervous to do it, it's just nice to have it done. Something to add to my list of up-coming celebrations. As my birthday, I'm still trying to talk mom into cutting down on the cakes. It's hard, she loves making them but we're always stuck with them for weeks and quite honestly, no-one can stand cake for that long.
I just have to love the wind today, it nearly blew my skirt off a couple of times. It's so refreshing, you can almost smell the ocean in it. I was called to a second date, but I had to cancell, due to my dancing schedule. I'm still not sure whether or not to relieved. It's not that I don't like the guy, I do. But I am definitely not ready for a relationship - definitely not with everything else that's going on right now. Even if I wouldn't get hurt, whoever I got involved with definitely would be.
I was going to take the car to the summerhouse tonight, but since I promised Kelly to only use it when absolutely neccessary, I'll stick around for my parents' planned dinner. If I can just talk mom into letting me handle the dinner, it could actually turn out quite nice. I'm all in for lasange. I haven't had it in months. I haven't made it in months - which probably should set off some sort of alarm in my head but it doesn't.
I finally got the call I've been waiting for. Classes ended a little over three hours ago. Finally, I can go home.
Over and out
what a wonderful start
- Apr. 26th, 2007 at 7:38 AM
Guess what, I came to school at seven ten. Had to use the increased energy of the computer to keep myself warm. Got in twenty minutes later, where I am now. It's just me and the candy man. What a start on the day.
I'm also set for modelling today, that'll be... fun. And if not, well, at least a new experience. :)
Tumbs up for Gloria for bringing more experiences to my life.
As for the official report n my project that will be held today - I'll improvise. Can you believe that, a whole year's work and when I'm actually going to present it, I'll improvise. Oh well, who said the written speech was the best one?

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide
When I woke up this morning, I didn't quite know where I was. I found it kinda sad, as the room I woke up in was my own. On the floor laid my notes, poems - results of another sleepless night. I decided yesterday, that I'd be home again after lunch.
I'm still in school and most of the students have left.
And, I don't want to leave. Sounds really strange, doesn't it? *chews her bottom lip* I like the solitude here, when the day is done. No need to enter any conversations, no space to feel. I was going to call the educational welfare officer, as I'd been ordered. I guess it slipped my mind. It's too late to call now anyway.
dress blues and nuclear weapons
- Mar. 20th, 2007 at 5:42 PM
Tomorrow is my biggest dread: I don't want to wear my dress blues. Not at some set up conference at school. That's just sooo petty officer... *shivers*
Please save me Colonel!
Daiko?
Anyone?
*sighs and seeks comfort in the soft fur of the cat* Kita, save me - I don't wanna walk in dress blues and high heels to school tomorrow. Oh God, I'm asking my cat to save me. I'm really losing it.
So, maybe I won't be around for the summer to arrive after all. I got a reply from the woman in Darwin, I'm gonna give her a call tomorrow morning. God, I hope I'll get this job.
cattyness
- Mar. 12th, 2007 at 9:26 AM
I've spent waay too much time with Nikki lately.
We've got double-classes of 'Terms of Knowledge' on the schedule. For two weeks. Can someone give me a gun, like right now? A Desert Eagle would do fine. *sighs*
Finally got my card at IKSU, now I can use the gym at any time I'd want. ^^ It's a bit dangerous to my grades though: I was supposed to study yesterday - instead I spent almost the entire day working out. It was good though, very nice and sweaty. Unfortunately, my body's a bit soar today - and I have two hours dancing ahead of me. XD Not that I'm complaining, who can complain when there's dancing involved?
Over and out.
choco-coffee
- Feb. 28th, 2007 at 1:27 PM
Can't wait to get back to my wonderful ChocoCoffee. They make it at the cafeteria where the course is held. Whew, that is one pleasure you can't live without! Sooo good! I wonder if you could like, fill a thermos and bring some of it home. It's definitely something to investigate. ^^
I'm on the verge of sending in the applications for the CPE test (Certificate of Proficiency in English) but I just can't make up my mind. There are two dates set for the exam this year, one is at the 14th of June and the second isn't until December 13th. 14th of June would sound great, had it not been for the fact that I graduate on the 13th. It just doesn't feel right, graduating from high school one day and then going back to school the next day to get the test done. Ohw well, I have until 26th of March to decide... And I am a wiz when it comes to prolonging decisions... ^^
haunted by first year students
- Feb. 23rd, 2007 at 10:01 AM
I'm thinking of dedicating this evening to Indian spices and chicken. I just have to refill my freezer - the alarming lack of chicken has kinda unerved me. But first things first, I have a class in physiology and then I'm meeting Ida for a chat. The rookie-students are writing some articles about the seniors and so I've agreed to her writing an analysis of me - to be honest, I'm a bit scared of what she might find ^^ Speaking of that, another rookie just walked in asking to write an article about my book. This is getting scary...
Kita woke me up tonight, which was good since I was dreaming about Jack Nicholson as an axe murderer who was currently depriving the hands of a bunch of people that were situated in my bedroom. ^^ You've gotta love the happy dream-world!
As for the RPGs: I wear my crown with pride!
A bunch of hugs to y'all!

Join the Free Hugs Campaign!
I can't get it out of my head: North Sweden's like known for being 'cold' and 'unpersonal' - I really hope that this will work out somehow. We're planning on setting it up on a Saturday, mid-day when everyone's out shopping. Haven't set on a date yet, I'll let you know once we have one!
'Til then - peace out!
coffee is a drug
- Feb. 21st, 2007 at 9:05 PM
You're 100% correct Nyuu - I'm the Queen of RPGs: I've now counted to 15 RPGs where I'm very much involved. Go figure.
Coffee is a drug, everyone - there, you have been warned. And if you're anything like me, you'll drink it anyway. I had this absolutely wonderful coffee today, at my sign language course. It was heavenly amazing! I couldn't stop drinking it! Kinda why I'm so hyper now... I really should write my cultural comparison for tomorrow's English class - but, updating my livejournal seemed more fun. Wow, Kelly, can you believe I actually put this in front of school? Coffee is a drug indeed - makes you do strange things.
So what else is new, aside from the fact that my lack of posts here is remarkable? I've started dancing again. The big show's in May - I really can't wait to get on with it!
Over and out.

might have tumbled on my words
- Feb. 1st, 2007 at 10:10 PM
It seems so far to go
So long just to get here
To here and now and everywhere
We've ever been
Just seem so far away
This longing, this pain I can't define
I thought I had it in me
So filled, so scared, so close
And still so far away
From everywhere I need to be
I was stronger than ever, there
And far from here
Where I've ascended, might have fallen
Might have tumbled on my words
So far from understanding
And I will fall again
Just as all the times before
And I will find a way back to my hands
While I'm the only one
Who can help me push back to my feet again
it's the force of gravity for crying out loud
- Jan. 25th, 2007 at 1:19 PM
I need coffee.
What is perfection? If that is what we strive for - shouldn't we be able to define it: to make some sense of our strives?
According to NE, perfection is to have the best qualities in all essential respects. So there we have it - to my fellow fighters: Good luck. You'll sure as hell need it. And make sure you get 'em all rightaway. Else there won't be enough left of you to be perfect. Perfection doesn't go for damaged vials. And when you die a little at a time, every night - there is never much time. But who said there ever was?
It's a mortal sin, you know. But I want it, so badly - I need it. I want to fight, until all bones are broken and all blood has escaped this vial. This body. But you're not supposed to think that way. It's unnatural. It's wrong. And I hate the fact that I can't let it go. Hate the fact that I'm writing this in a computer room at school, not caring for the fact that my headmaster is standing behind me. Oh yeah, the very same man who made my life a hell about a year ago. Wonder if he ever knew that.
Definitely need coffee.
Definitely need to go back.

bruising
- Jan. 21st, 2007 at 4:07 PM
Question: How do you walk on icy roads in strong winds wearing high heels?
Answer: You don't. You fall. - Some of my bruises I can't even remember getting. But I think they come from falling. That, or from any of the games we played at the apartment.
Should be writing on my project. I just got a call from Nora, reminding me of our up-coming meeting tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to that. Guess I'll be pulling another all-nighter. But first, my long ago planned 'date' with Malin. We'll just grab a sandwhich at some bar with a coffee to drown it. Like in the best of worlds.
Cat is walking on the keys making it hard to type - think I'll leave it there. Think I'll have a few rounds with my punch bag before I hit the shower.
