Lala nah nah naaaah!

I feel boooring. Marie will come here next weekend so we'll rock this place! I need to go out. Haven't been since I don't know when. Nowadays I'm just injured the whole time so I haven't been able but now that I'm almost completely healed I'm gonna.. And that's that! :D

Happy Easter!

Hehehehee!! Hilarious...

Twisted ancles and overtime

Yep, you heard me, I've twisted my ancle. My injured ribs haven't quite healed yet even, I'm surrounded by bad karma right now.

Since London I've worked like a maniac and actually made up almost for the hours I missed while in the big city.

Back in Sweden for easter now, nice to be here. Shame I have to spend these days on the couch. At least I won't have any excuse not to relax...

So what's going on in my life right now? Not much as usual. As I've mentioned before I was going for the orange kickboxing-belt wednesday last week, but a kick in the ribs stopped me from doing that and pretty much anything else for about a week.

Now I'm off to roll meatballs with my mum. Sweet mummy took me to emergencies today, worried that I'd broken something since I couldn't walk this morning after my much longed after run yesterday. My gracious fall must have looked pretty funny. I practically flew, while feeling my foot kind of twist loose for a second, landed in the mud and then just sat there in agony. And of course I'd forgotten my cellphone back home. Oh joy!

Happy Easter my friends!

Does it work?

I must be a vain, vain girl... I mean, how can you not be vain if you have perfectly manicured nails (including toenails), owns four different types of hair spray for different occations, spends at least an hour in the bathroom every day, own three bags of makeup, uses "holiday skin" lotion, buy perfumes for £40, and really, really craves a £100 worth hair straighteners? (=the princess)

On the contrary I don't have a problem spending months in a camp bed, climbing mountains and sleeping in mini-huts without proper walls in the middle of nowhere, go to the bathroom which turnes out to be a whole in the ground (ok, that one is not a personal preference...) and having a shower with frogs and spiders watching you without panicking. (=the traveller)

Where the heck's the limit in between? Does it exist? Am I a weirdo that actually fulfilles all the criteria for both categories? Hihi, I know, I must be a travelling princess! ;)

Wanna spend the night in a tree house with lots of spiders and no hot water?

Back in the nordic.

I'm here now, just woke up. I will need a good few days rest to recover from my trip. Good it only lasted one week, or I'd be dead.

It was really great to come back again to see that London is still London, and the people are pretty much the same.

I have to admit though, just this very second, it's nice to be back. The sun is shining, sky is clear, I'm going for a loooong walk today to see if I still have any stamina whatsoever left. I think I will enjoy it for about a week before I start getting bored again... I've got a new plan (heeeey, surprise everyone!!). I'm gonna work til christmas, cause that's about when my contract with the company I work for will expire, plus I'll be able to save a fare good deal of money til then. Then I'm gonna go to Australia to visit all the millions of people I know there, and then probably London. I'm gonna try to get into the travel and tourism business to see if I like it, and if I do then maybe I'll try and study something within that subject. Sounds good? Oh yes, I think it's an abso-fucking-loutely (quote, "sex and the city") fantastic plan! :D

True Ozzie humour. Matty, feels familiar?

Where do I belong?

I'm depressed. Not because I'm in London at the moment, but because I realized how much I miss this crazy place. I love it! I really feel like nordic people don't understand me... I'm a misunderstood misfit. :) Neeh, maybe not THAT bad, but i still feel like this is more me. Hum... I need to reconsider a few things here, seriously.

Anyways, In London, having a blast, so far the best thing i've done since Africa in September. Comparing London to Africa, hehe...



The big metropol? or.. In the middle of nowhere? or.. Pretty but boring winterparadise?
Dunno....

Look at this, Sweden in October. It's true that when you see something everyday you don't realize how beautiful it is. This picture is taken just outside our house.

I've got the flu. I'm going to London tomorrow. Could the timing possibly have been any worse? Nope, don't reckon.

All done!

I've passed my cv on to my boss, I think they really want me there! :) Funny thing was, yesterday everybody came to congratulate me because of the job. I dond't know anything... I think I was the last one to find out. Well, could've been worse!

Good news: It's spring!
Good news #2: I'm in a fantastic mood!
Good news #3: I'm gonna try for belt number two (orange) in kickboxing. I don't even have number one yet! :D

Weekend accomplished, all body parts intact.

Yep, you heard me, I'm not hurt. I'm improving. I managed to party for a whole night without falling over even once. Points for me! Wow, that really made me sound like a true alcoholic... Should probably add that I haven't been drinking any alcohol at all for the past three weeks. Even more credit! :)
The best part was probably our afterparty. Me and my neighbour Vegard went crazy with the karaokemachine til about 6am. Do I need to mention my sunday went by nice and slowly by the tv? Also met an english guy at the club, he was on weekendtrip to Oslo with a bunch of friends. His friends had abandoned him though, so we took care of him. He was very good at karaoke too!

Next weekend is coming up, and I'm going to London!! Saturday, geuss how excited I am!? MEGA-excited!

I might get a contract at my current job as well. I'm still contemplating if I want to or not. If I do, I kind of feel as if I'm bound to stay for at least a year. On the other hand, the pay is better, I like the place, and I will know for sure that I have a job as long as I want it. Tricky... It does look like I will take it though. We'll see.

What else? Not much as usual. Working, eating, training. Spring is approaching though, makes everything a lot easier. Now it's actually daylight til about 7pm! Winter in the north is so dark and depressin.

Byyye!

Morr...

I hate computers.
Why is it that last time I placed my memory card inside the card reader a window popped up and I just needed to choose what I wanted to do, copy the photos ow whatever, but NOW; nothing happens at all? Not even the slightest little indication that there's something going on? And of course I cannot find any other way of finding it either, "portable media devices" contains nothing, I could do it on my good old reception computer in London.

HELP!!?!??!

Yo all fans!

Apologize again for my low activity here, I blame work. And Åsa. I have a social life now! :) Naah, wasn't really that bad before, but you know..

Almost in London now, only 1.5 weeks to go! Tjohooo!

Week - again..

Yep I know, during the week I'm a crap blogger. I'm sorry. I'm busy working... :)
Got complaints from my dear little bitch Matty (yes, you. You know I love you...), he said my blog proved I'd done like nothing for the past month. Duuuh! Like whatever as if, like! If I would put down all the details on my incredibly interesting life, everybody would get so jealous and ban my blog. Hah! ;)

I'm out of inspiration. I'm tired from kickboxing for the first time since that advetorous night two weeks ago. Got kicked in the ribs and couldnt breathe quite as much as I would have liked to on my way home. Better now though. Also did something to my wrist, it hurts when I'm trying to move my hand.. I love that sport!

Ok, se ya'll!

Gaah!

Overslept this morning. My punishment for a nice, quiet weekend is unableness of sleeping last night. It's not fair... I had about 15 minutes to get ready, NOT enough. Stress! Bad start of the week.

Did see a great movie yesterday though. "Blood Diamond", the one about the illegal diamond indystry in Sierra Leone. Very bloody, touching and all over good. It's good to be reminded that my own life is not by far as miserable as it could be, and to appreciate what I have.

Good news: My friend Åsa from Sweden is here visiting me, trying to find work. I'm gonna be her proud hostess for the forseeable future. :) Wish her luck!

Take care my friends!

Ooohhh!!

For those of you that speaks swedish, check this out!
You'll have to admit, it's a perfect Jennie-thing to do! Oh my god! My summers holiday is already sorted, jihuu!!!

Just scroll down to "Ridresa - Rid äventyr i Transylvanien - Ridning"

package_tour.cgi?query=%C3%A4ventyr&
event=result&site=aftonbladet&search
_text=%C3%A4ventyr¨

For those who doesn't know swedish, It's a seven day horesback tour in one of Europes best preserved ecosystems, in Transylvania. Lots of wolves, bears and lynx.

Whohoo, maybe I'll meet Dracula!? Cool. I''ll have to think of something wise to say to him when I do!

Mornin' joy!

Apparently there was a massive afterparty with karaokesingning here night to yesterday. I slept like a log through the whole thing. I don't understand how it happened though, I usually wake up quite easily. I think this has something to do with the disoriented girl yesterday morning as well...

I feel so rested, haven't slept this much two nights in a row since I don't know when. It's nice! :)

Perfume and superdiet snackbars

Can someone please tell me exactly how healthy all those diet and post-excercise snack bars really are? I mean, can something that tastes soo so good really be healthy as well? I don't know.. But I'm not gonna go any further in my research than reading on the packaging, and believe that it contains everything you need for a complete meal. I love them. And they don't get all mashed up in your bag while your sweating in gymclass either, unlike bananas. Plus you don't get that "I'm-so-desperatley-hungry"-feeling half an hour after excersice if you have one afterwards. I take that as a good sign. God bless the healthy chocolate chip bars!



And look, I bought a perfume today! It smells absolutely gorgeous, and maybe even better, it has pink glitter in it... The name is "euphoria" by Calvin Klen, and was very expensive. But how often do I ever by perfumes? Like once a year? Probabaly. Love, love, love!!!

Weekend - again..

What happened to last week? I don'k know where it went. And I don't understand how it could just pass without me noticing. Strange..

Saturday today. Decided on a quiet weekend with loads of sleep. Watched a one-hour tv-programme yesterday about the clitoris. Very funny! Nina (one of my combos) and I were pissing ourselves laughing, cause they used some pretty interesting cartoon illustrations. If you ever come across a show like that, watch it!

Got a visitor this morning. Stood there in the middle of my room half naked, getting dressed when someone suddenly opened the door. Luckily, my door needs a strong push and a kick to open and also makes a lot of noise so I realized before it was too late and managed to turn my back towards a complete stranger (girl) who said "sorry" and rushed out.. Damnit, could at least have been an Aragorn-lookalike, not some hungover chick who probably was aiming for the room next door. Just to keep my fingers crossed next time. :)

Now I'm off to the swimming pool!

Sun in the snow.

Today it was so cold and icy that I decided I needed some summer, desperatley. So after work I packed my bag, found out wich swimmingpool in Oslo had the warmest water and sunbed facilities, and went. It was wonderful!! The water was some lovely 32 centigrades, and I almost fell asleep in the sunbed afterwards. Jumped awake, unable to tell what the heck was going on. Turned out it was the light that went off. Oh happy days! I feel like I just came home from Mallorca! :D

Grouse legs..

My foot looks like something from CSI. It reminds me of an autopsy. I would post a picture, but it would seriously scare you all away forever. The point of impact is still flaming red and stings every now and again, and the rest is bright blueberry blue. Pretty much the whole inner half of my lower leg is very, very unattractive. Hurrah! I'm never dancing on a table again when the alcohol levels in my blood are above tipsyness.

Had fun at work today. Not for any particular reason i think, i'm just becoming a part of the gang slowly but surely. They're starting to take the piss. Always happens to me. It has to have something to do with me, or I just have a weird ability to find people like that wherever I go. Ah well, fun! :)

Blondie vs brunette!

It's official! I've found a way to transfer the pics from my camera to the computer, so now there's just no turning back. To everyone who's ever wondered what I'd look like as a brunette, here's the answer:




Before:
Blondie blondie blondie, all prittied up and ready to paaarty!










Now:
Brunette (or actually, the name of the colour is "dark blonde")! Easier to maintain myself, and I think it looks absolutely fine! :)


I'm so cool, I'm so cool...... (Now you're supposed to compliment me...)

And by the way...

You don't feel half as nauseus from eating a 100 gram bar of dark chocolate as you do from the same amount of milk cocolate. Now THAT's science.

London calling!

I miss everybody, and I admit it! I'm going there march 17th, and I just can't wait to see everybody again. I love you guys!

Leg's getting better. Good. I hate sitting still, it's getting to me. Long walk tonight, swimming tomorrow, and by next week I should be ready to kick some ass again. :)

Today's numer one: Freia's dark cooking chocolate. Who said it's for cooking only? That person is an idiot. And dark chocolate is healthy, according to GI experts. I'm in heaven!!

Better late than never...

What's happening in my life right now. Hmm.. let's see.

Recent events in Jennieland:
*Ate a massive pizza yesterday, couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the next to nonexixtent leftovers.
*Caused myself serouos leg injury while dancing on a table friday night. Can still walk meaning not broken. What's the term for injury just under fracture? I've got it...
*I've been working 26 hours overtime over the past two weeks. Money money money!
*Spent a disgustingly big amount of money at the shopping centre.
*Got an aha-experience while kickboxing on wednesday. Realized that if i punch and kick like an idiot, my sparring partner won't seem so threatening anymore. Until now I didn't like sparring cause i don't really like hitting people, but that's all gone now, haha!
*Spent last saturday trying to keep drunk Norwegians under control in the woods back home. Why? Swedish Rally, volunteered to help. Wore a vest saying "safety". I know nothing about safety, hehe..

Ok, i've had enough for now, see ya next time!

Kissees!

Overtime? Yes please!!

I love this country! If i ever need to work one minute more than the 7.5 hours a day I'm supposed to, I get overtime pay. 50% extra for the fist five hours, before 9 pm, and 100% after that. I'm still not used to it, It's so cool! The contrast from London is enormous. And good. I've taken up kickboxing again, muscles aching from yesterday. Feels sooo good. :)I do miss London in some ways, but the things I miss I can easily catch up with on a weeks visit.
This weekend holds a Star Wars marahon. All 6 movies. Fantastic! I don't like the new ones, but the oldies rules!



Yoda lookes doped. And he forgot to attach the fishing line to the rod.

Qué? Nåja...

Well well well, antother lovely hungover-day defeated, and am currently looking forward to my bed.

Last night we had a big houseparty with way too much wine, but really good fun.
Went with some to a club downtown, and managed to get in after negotiating with security for about 15 minutes. Reason: I'm not 24, I'm 23 and a half.. But, I'm blonde, swedish and most important: girl. It's helpful sometimes. This time though I think I could've done perfectly well not getting in. Big place meat market style, packed with drunk people, crap music and just generally depressing. Plus I was too drunk myself. I sympathized with the barman who had to serve vodka through a gun, where he pressed the key and the exact amount of alcohol dropped into the glass. No shots behind the managers back there! Poor bastard. Tipped him a little extra.

When the place closed I decided to be pissed off with people, especially the drunken kind, bought a chicken kebab and walked the 5kms home alone. Good for quality thinking time (and for burning off that massive kebab I'd just devoured... :)).

Happy days to all of you!

Mission accomplished.

Chrismas is done, New Years also, I've finished work at my current place, and next week I'm starting my new job! Fun!

A bit of a shame leaving the place I work just now. Two months is just perfect time to get to know people, and start having real fun with them. Ah well, another two months at this new place and I'm sorted! :)

Still in the house, staying til march sometime.

I like Oslo!
