I couldn't help myself

Before I move on to something new today, I just quickly want to post these four pictures ((c)me), click for a bigger size:

What am I up to now?

What am I up to right now? Not much, I just saved my dog from eating a magnet that she found on the shelf (just think about the consequences) and I think that after this post I'm going to find something fun to do. Sometimes I just get tired of being on the PC, thank God.

BTW if you are wondering what fun is to me, its either shopping, photography/drawing/cutting&pasting&etc, or sneaking out of the house to catch some glimpses of the sun.

P.S.: Earth Hour went just fine for me . Now excuse me, I have to save my dog from eating a pencil... she has developed some addiction to eating unknown stuff. Not that shes hungry or anything. My dog :

Earth hour

Maybe its all the propaganda they've been spreading these last weeks, but I'm already excited when I think about Earth Hour. As last year didn't go so well, I'm thinking of being more careful this year. What happened last year, you ask? Here it goes:

March 28 2009: I couldn't keep myself of talking about Earth Hour all day, which, of course, annoyed my parents a lot. They finally decided to save some energy and switch off all of the lights. This made me quite happy but I should mention that they switched off the lights for only 15minutes (!) and 2 HOURS BEFORE EARTH HOUR!
This means that when the time came for the real E.H. (I'll call it like this from now on) we were all sitting before the TV watching the evening news. Great. You cannot imagine how disappointed I was, even when my parents told me that we had "already done Earth Hour". Yeah right!

March 27 2010: ????????? *to be updated*

I already know that I need to FIRMLY convince my parents to switch off the lights for real this time.... The other possibility is that I cut off electricity in the whole apartment, say by poring water on an open cable (veryveryverymega dangerous but of course I like precautions. BTW I know I could just switch off electricity but I don't happen to be very good at handling those little buttons in the box-of-which-I-don't-know-the-name).

Mixed feelings

Photography, photography and more of my photography:

Nothing to see here

Witty... witty... weeeh-teee... yup. Nice word! Unfortunately its not the word to describe this post. I'm not even sure WHY I am writing this, because after all, the only thing I wanted to post was this [click here to see it]. Now look at that animation. Yes it is in fact a lady and a man (that by now should be about 200 years old) dancing. Boring but I somehow I can't stop looking at it!

P.S.: I think that my brain is trying to make up for all the posts I missed. This is probably why I have written three posts in one day.

I wish I was a Punk Rocker

There are some urges, impulses that a person must obey. This is why, when you let your eyes roll a little more down, you will see the lyrics of my favorite song right now. The tune is ok, but the lyrics really mean something to me.

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When the head of state didn't play guitar
Not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered and when radio was king
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When pop stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
My mom and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

Epic uninteresting post.

I've got no excuse whatsoever for not writing anything for so long. 'Cos I haven't been extremely busy-- trust me. The most exciting thing that has happened to me these last days is probably going to the Foam Café with some friends. Not cool... we ALWAYS go there. (BTW, recently I've heard that the Princess and her bf go there a lot too, which is kind of off putting as somehow they seem a bit dorky to me. I'm not sure I would want to sit next to them... oh well. I know, I'm spoiled.)

I'm not even sure WHY I am writing this post. When I re-read it it seems so... so uninteresting.

P.S.: I received an invitation to a birthday party two days ago. I might mention that everything went very well until I quickly opened the envelope:


ME: Oh wow, you're having an un-birthday party?
HER: Yes [grins].
ME: Wait a minute, is it your REAL birthday party?
HER: [looks surprised] uh... yeah?
ME: Well... then its not an un-birthday party.
HER: Sorry?
ME: An un-birthday is every day EXCEPT your real birthday!
HER: What [looks very annoyed]!?!! I call it what I want!
ME: Ok, but technically its wrong.
HER: Ugh-- give me that [takes invitation from me]!!!

And this is why, my dear friends, never try to impress anyone with being nerdy when getting an invitation!

With love. L-O-V-E

Ok, I have to make this post really quick as my mom is eager to have me pulled away from my PC. So-- I FINALLY watched Michael Jackson's This is It movie! It was great although at times it got a little boring. You know, with all the more classical songs... I'm also surprised to say that the only part that got me at the verge of tears was the ending and "Memories of M.J" (located in the special features part). I expected to be going through hundreds of Kleenex tissues and drowning the whole apartment in tears, but astonishingly that wasn't the case. But no doubt, the film is a success!

No one can deny that this movie enhances the genius we all love in Michael Jackson, and as someone said, he is not only the King of Pop but also the King of Friends, King of being a father, King of Love, King of Music, etc. We love you Michael!

I also didn't forget to compose my movie fact file, for the rare ones, like the me of 3hours ago, who haven't yet set their eyes on This is It.

↓ FACT FILE OF THIS IS IT ↓

Favorite character: M.J of course
Composition: 4,5/5
Emotional rate: 3/5
Recommended for ages: 0 to infinity
Warning: you may have the urge to browse M.J fansites and Wikipedia for hours after watching this movie.

P.S.: I'm sorry if this post may seem a little messy and maybe not written at my best, but I'm quite tired .

I felt obliged....

[see title]... to post this. Apparently I'm not the only one to crack for Alice in Wonderland. Even the greatest designers as Alexander McQueen and Nicholas Kirkwood have fallen into the trap of curious curiosity, take a look:

Gosh, don't you think that this collection is amazing?! I do . BTW, those shoes will be available this summer, as in 2010, and are expected to be very very expensive and on auction only. Those are the kind of shoes that even the most known celebs have to borrow... except Bill Gates, but I hope he doesn't have the habit of wearing woman's shoes (or feminine clothes in general)... That would just be pure awkward....

Weekends that are worth living for

Today I really felt like I had been wrapped between the covers of a storybook. As suspicious as that might seem (no I'm not on dope), I'm serious. For me there's nothing better than knowing that I'm escaping educational slavery, aka school, to rush towards a sunny freedom. I have no reason whatsoever to be sad: I'm a "new" aunt, its soon the weekend, I have a dog and a family, friends, I have an immense imagination buzzing around me 24/7, I've got a working radio, I can open a window to let in the fresh air, it's sunny and finally I can sense everything starting to grow all around us again.

I just wanted to remind you... that life is good .

A flow of emotions *updated*

I have never felt this before, because when my mom went into labor with my little sis I was too little to notice anything. Yes, I think you know what I'm writing about... my brother just sent me a message saying that he is rushing to the hospital (or wherever you usually have babies) to be with his girlfriend. YOU CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I'M FEELING! In a few hours or so, I'm going to be an aunt!!! My brother... the guy who watched Cartoon Network and played with me, is going to be a dad! God, I hope that the baby and the mom (my bros girlfriend) and my bro will be, and are, OK. This is so weird and exciting! I can honestly tell you that my insides are filled with fluttering butterflies...
Anyway, I really hope that everything goes well!

P.S.#1: Tomorrow is my little sis' birthday: she will turn 10 on the 10^th of March two 2010, which also happens to be the 10^th week! Lucky girl.

P.S.#2: Wouldn't it be such a wonderful thing if the baby was born after 12pm so on March 10^th? He would have the same birthday as my sister (see P.S.#1:)!

P.S.#3: I just lent the original collection of Alice stories (Alice in wonderland, etc.) by Lewis Carroll and I'm more than sure that I'm going to have a tough time giving it back.

EDIT (MARCH 10 2010): The baby was born 9^th March 2010, at 12:55pm. Really, couldn't he have waited 5 more minutes to be born on the 10^th ?

Name: Daniel
Sex: Boy
Pics?: The first pic is a webcam screen-capture !

Oscar's glam

I'm a bit cranky today, after having slept only ca 2 hours... yes my dear friends: I watched the Oscar gala. So as you probably know, I live in Sweden and this means that I have to get up 2:30am to watch it only to go back to sleep at 6:00am. So basically this was my Night Plan:


8pm March 7^th: I go to bed and try to sleep
10pm March 7^th: Nowhere reaching my goal... I count sheep
11:40pm March 7^th: Finally I'm asleep
2am March 8^th: I wake up to my alarm clock and drag myself to my sis' bedroom to wake her up. Note to self: next time do not wake up the dog (woof, woof panic!)
2:30 March 8^th: LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED yeah!
4am March 8^th: to prevent myself from falling to sleep I go get some cereal...zzz
6am March 8^th: Thats all folks, the Oscars are over for this year! Finally I go back to sleep in my warm, comfy bed.
6:15am March 8^th: Great, WHY CAN'T I SLEEP?!
6:29am March 8^th: I sleep...
6:30am March 8^th: *alarm clock* time to walk the dog and drag my ass to school !

If I look back into the recent past (this morning) I find that I don't regret waking up to watch the Oscars at all. Seriously... and to tape the show wouldn't of have been the same at all! The thing I regret is having to go to school today, but weirdly enough I was even more hyperactive than usual... Its only now that I started feeling really tired... oh well.

Anyway, congratz to the nominees and the award winners, especially for the films Precious and The Hurt Locket. I really can't wait to pop up in a cinema to see those two. Or are they on DVD already?

God, I think I'm in love

I'm sorry to bore you out AGAIN with Alice in Wonderland, but its really one of the few things I can relate to! I'm not another crazy fan who feels like she can relate to any popular movie and runs after the celebs-- I actually can relate to the story .

Anyway I found something that I will beg for until I can't beg anymore, but I will still find a way to beg more for this (I have to beg because I spent my money on a necklace that the store wont take back... shit).
Ta-da:
The ultimate Alice in Wonderland jewelery that can be bought here. I showed this to my mom and of course the first thing she noticed was the price: around £30... [words that are too nasty to be written go here to express my feelings]. Sadly my parents believe in economic-independence and this is why I have to A) Wait for my b-day to get these or B) scrape some money from my allowances to come (lets say my allowance is only 15€ per month, so I could buy a bracelet in... lets see... 3 months. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG ! It will be my b-day in that time!!!).

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: begbegbegbegbegbegbegbegbegbeg

A simple matter

This may be one of my shortest posts so far in the area of text, BUT I have a couple of my photos I'm bursting to show you. Not that they're the best quality or amazing talent show-offs but I love them so much. There's everything I love: unique & experimental photography and colors, colors, COLORS! BTW I like hanging stuff (as in clouds and paper planes) from my ceiling-- that's just the way I am!

Who do you want to be when you grow up?

[SEE TITLE] When I was about 7 years old, I would answer "dentist". I just loved the smell and look of a dentist's office, latex gloves and all the little tools and lights. Not to mention the huge sunglasses that I eagerly put on. So in conclusion, unlike so many other kids I loved going to the dentist & orthodontist and I was sure to want to become one of "them" when I grow up.
But now its different (especially after the torture I went through when I had my braces up AND down ): my dreams of pursuing in the art of teeth-examination have faded. So what do I answer now, when a sweet, smelly old lady walks up to me with one question on her mind--who do you want to be when you grow up? Well honestly my answer is rather vague: "I dunno... something with art I guess. That would suit me best... or astronomy. Although I adore animals more than anyone I know so I would love to become a vet but my intelligence isn't good enough...So maybe a wildlife park director? Otherwise I move back to a villa in St:Tropez with my dog and work for V."

Oh BTW, you don't know V. and as she is very paranoid I prefer to use an abbreviation. Also as you see my self esteem concerning my intelligence has been gradually lowered by some friends and family so I am very afraid to even think about being a vet .

But am i too young to think about this right now? Yes. No.

Premiere-- Alice in Wonderland

Of course, premieres here aren't half as glamorous as the Hollywood ones far from this place, but nevertheless I find them worth mentioning.
I just got back from the Alice in Wonderland premiere and I though of one word to express myself: AWESOME! Maybe I'm so in awe because I watched in 3D but still! This film happens to be a must, especially for people like me (aka weird & creative ppl). Although, I wouldn't recommend it for viewers who want to see a thriller or something. This movie does have a wonderful plot but its not the kind that has you holding on to your chair for dear life.

Anyway, I'm quite sure that this tops my favorite films list as #1 . Plus, from now on, I've decided to do a little fact file on every movie I watch :
