Oh my!! I’ve forgot to blog!
August 12, 2009 19:56
Hey folks! I’ve totally forgot to blog. Last blog was miserable, so I thought I should write a more happy one today. Not that I have had the best day for my life, but it did get better. “New” job (complicated, can’t be arsed to explain). Me and a co-worker had to start there. It’s under my old job..just different house, different kids and different co-workers. Struggling to “get in”. But I guess it will get better after a while. I just have to wrap my head around the idea that I have to stay there.
Aaaaaaaaaaanywhoooo…. It’s only 25 days to the big trip of the year. Los Angeleeeeeeeeeeees. I can’t wait. I’ve started the shopping, of important stuff. Might shop some clothes, but not much. As I’ll probably shop a lot in LA. Gotta have enough space in my suitcase 
Well…dunno what more to write. Just wanted to let you know that I’m okay, alive and all that. Tata!
I’m back!!

I’ve been without internet for several days. But now I am finally back!! Thank God!!!
Well..I haven’t been doing much lately. I still have vacation, but nothing to do most of the time. Which is very annoying. At least a bit better now that I can be in contact with the internet-world. Last week I visited a co-worker at their island. Now, that’s kinda cool to say; THEIR island! Anyway, I had a great time out there. Really a lovely place.
Well..I dunno what to write this time. I just wanted to announce that I’m back…hehe. Here I am!
Two parties in two weeks.
July 13, 2009 21:22
One week ago I went to a party at a friends house. It was great fun! We all got drunk and acted as we should do when we’re drunk – weird and crazy. Brekstad houses a lot of fun, but somewhat odd people! They know how to party…haha!
Anna Marie decided I should start my holiday of with a party as well. Meaning last weekend. One hell of a good idea! I didn’t really plan to invite many people. Just a few close friends. But somehow we ended up a bit more…hehe.
To sum it up: music from early 2000, guy in mums t-shirt, another guy with anoter shirt of my mum, swing and “hot, sexy dance” (yeah right! haha) +++ We had a lot of fun. It looked like someone dropped a bomb in here, though.
I had a blast! Not so good with afterparties, though..or what Anna???
Well…that’s it. I just wanted to let you know I’m still alive. I have 2 weeks vacation now. Probably some more partying awaits? Who knows!?!? This is a short post, ’cause I’m not really in a blogging mood lately.
Have a great summer, folks!

It still feels unreal! When reading about it or listening to his music, I suddenly get overwhelmed by grief. It’s not like I’m sitting here sobbing and mourning for hours, but it’s very sad. I’ve been a fan since I was 7-8 years old! I watched his Dangerous Tour-gig on tv when i was 8 or 9, recorded it and all. I danced to his songs, trying to copy what he did. Sang all his songs, even though they were on English and I was just starting to learn the language.
His music has followed me since then. I haven’t listened to it all the time. It might even have gone years between me putting his CD in the cd player. But everytime his songs was/are played on the radio, I’ve turned up the volume. He really is the King of Pop (rock and soul…)!!
I downloaded (yeah…sorry…I’m also buying it, but couldn’t wait!) his Dangerous Tour-gig in Bucharest. The same gig I saw as a kid. It was as great as last time I saw it…but this time also sad of course. Watching/listening to She’s Out of My Life and other slow songs made me weep a bit. But everytime a fast song came, I sang with and loved it. We can remember him in several ways, but I will remember him as the great artist/man he was. I will remember him by playing his songs, sing with and celebrate him. He might be gone, but he will always be here…in his songs and in our hearts.
Here’s a YouTube clip from the gig I’ve been talking about – Black or White.
SUMMERTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!

Just thought you should know…haha! It’s sooo nice to have real summer weather! It’s VERY hot, but I love it. Gettin’ tanned and all..yay! This weekend has really been eventful. Came to my parents house on Friday. Was just gonna relax. Did some sunbathing and just chilling out. Later on we had a BBQ. And right after the first sip of my pear cider, a friend called and I ended up at a small party not far away. I didn’t stay long, as I didn’t have much to drink. But I was there long enough to join the drinking game “I have never…”. Yeah…it was my idea…hehehe. Saucy details one usually don’t wanna share with just anybody, was shared like we’d never done anything else our whole life. Oh well..it’s just friends!
On Saturday me and my Aunt went to a beach by the ocean. Sunbathing and swimming was on the list.. we did both…and it was c-c-c-coooold! But hey…it’s summer…so swimming it was. Something has made it’s way to my thighs and bit/stung me all over at the backside….of both. Nice… Moving on. Anna Marie came over after her well earned and long nap. We made pizza, which was DELISH! After that we did some serious SingStar…hehe. And I must say…DAMN, we’re good!
Anna Marie got a call later on, from a friend of hers. He wanted us to come to a party he was at… at Goatabeach (yeah..that is directly translated from the Norwegian word…Geitastranda) at Goat(a) Camping (Geita Camping for you Norwegians). Nice names, right? Anywhoooo…off we went. He had tried to give Anna directions, but I don’t think he did too well…hehehe. Good thing I went along, if not she’d used hours to get there! We entered the “beach party” with our Pepsi Max and two paper cups from Shell. Party on! We had a blast! Everyone there was pretty much drunk, to say the least. We laughed ’til we teared up,got bitten by bugs, got spanked (yes, you read right) by a lad who told us we were nasty, naughty, sexy and pretty…all at once and we got hugs from a man that was around my dads age (who also thought we were beautiful…). As you can see..it was a crazy night. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed so hard and so much at a party…sober!!
After being eaten up by bugs, we decided it was time to head home. I got home 3.30 am…we went out around midnight. One fun night! I actually had trouble sleeping, ’cause I was still laughing when thinking about the party…haha! I had to get up early today…well….10 am anyway. Me and my Aunt went to a lake today, to do the same as Saturday…sunbathing and swimming. The water at the lake was a lot warmer than the ocean (d’oh!). Stayed there 3 hours or so. Now I’m back at my flat. I’ve packed some boxes, for the move. Books and stuff. And now I’m tired of writing on this blog entry..hehe.
So I’m calling this the end of this entry. Enjoy…. Toodles!
Another decision.
June 23, 2009 16:25
After alot of thinking, I’ve come to the decision to move. I have found out that I can’t afford renting this flat, because of various reasons – medical bills one of them. I need to find a cheaper place. So far I haven’t located anything, so I have to move back to my parents for a while. I’m not planning on staying there for very long. But I might have to settle there a few months. Hopefully I will find something that I like and that’s cheap enough.
My USA-trip was beginning to look bad….well, I would have gone no matter what. But I will probably have to use some of my LA-savings to get through the month (vacation money + tax refunds). Wont use all of course, not even close. But still…that’s money I wanted to save for LA. But when I move back home, I will have more money each month…so I can put more away for LA. Thank God!
It’s not easy, folks. I’m just lucky to have a place to move back to, when something like this happened. And even though Norway have so called “free health system”…it ain’t free!! That’s for sure. Since I’ve been to and fro’ doctors offices the last year, it has become very expencive for me. Every month 3-4 extra bills, that I haven’t planned. You get the idea.
Well..it’s not like I’m poor or anything. I’m just doing this before it gets too bad. So I can get back up on my feet, and to find another flat without having to beg them to not rent it to someone else…’cause I can’t move right away. It will be weird moving back home. I have been staying at my parents house a lot lately, during my sick leave. But that’s something else…’cause I could leave and go home if I wanted to. But I think it’ll be alright. Worst will be the 40 minute (prob more ’cause of queue) drive to work.
I wish it wasn’t so expencive to live. I mean…people need to live somewhere! The prices in the cities are ridicilous (did I spell that right??)!!!! BAH!!!!
Well…that’s all….
New camera.
June 19, 2009 19:52
Yesterday I picked up my brand new camera! A Canon Ixus 95 IS. I already love it!! Here are some pictures I took with it.
Well…at least some photos. I really loooooooooooooooooove my camera…haha! Other than that I don’t have that many news. I’ve started back at work a bit. Which was good. Yesterday I planted vegetables and some flowers with the kids. We’ll see if it grows…hehe. And on Wednesday I had to babysit a 6 yearold for a friend, that got admitted to the hospital. Poor thing! No fun with stomach cramps like that! At least they took her seriously and found out what it was. Her sister took over for me, as I had to get home….since I was going to work the next day.
Tomorrow it’s partytime. Dunno if I will drink that much, though. We’ll see. Gonna have a reunioun. Meet old schoolmates. Will be fun!
That’s it for now. Cheers!
Cinema, police and dog.

It’s Sunday, 5.40 pm. Weekend is soon over. It’s been a calm, but nice weekend. On Friday I took a friend to the movies. I had free tickets for X-Men Origin; Wolverine. Hugh Jackman….yum!!! Movie was good! But I managed to lock my damn car keys in the car…AGAIN! Extra car key was in my flat…and my flat key was on my keys inside my car. Typical. I called my landlord, but he didn’t answer. So my parents couldn’t get the extra car key from my flat. While I was trying to get a hold of my landlord, my friend came running out from the movies saying her dad could help! He’s in the police Yay! I called the police first, you see. But they don’t help out with that anymore. And it costs A LOT to get help from rescue-companies…
Aaaanyway. After the movies, we called her dad. He came over and started on my car. Put the thingy inside the door…and it looked bad. I really thought it wouldn’t work, since he struggled so much. After 20-30 minutes of work, it finally opened! Thank effing God!! Finally we could go home. I’m sooo glad Anna Marie has a police-dad…hehe! We were both hungry, so “dinner” at the gas station was a must. Then we laughed our way home.
Yesterday (that would be Saturday, if you were wondering) I got delivered a dog. I’m going to watch him until next Sat. I went shopping (food) with my Aunt, went to a market and then home. Other than that, I didn’t do much. I made a delish dinner. Relaxed infront of telly and had some snacks. A friend called and we agreed on having wine and singstar later on… Around 10 pm I suddenly started to get stomach cramps and I felt sick. It got worse and worse, and I thought I would throw up. So I placed my self on the loo…just in case. My stomach acted like when I had diarrhea the last time. My friends got here, for wine/beer and singstar and I felt like crap! I ran to and fro’ the toilet, ’cause it felt like something was about to happen at any time. I searched through the drawers and found tablets that works against diarrhea (Imodium). I took two and after ten minutes I felt much better. I didn’t have any wine, though. We sang some singstar, played one round of pool and then they went home.
Anna Marie also got stomach cramps, and felt like she would faint. Luckily it passed after 30 minutes or something…but still. We suspect the food from the gas station is the reason behind it all. Today we’re both fine. So fine we have walked Lego, drove my cousin home and then we had dinner on a local restaurant. Kebab…mmmmmmmmmmmmm!! Oh…by the way.. laughter is contagious!!! Very contagious! Hehehehehe. Gosh!
That is all for now. I didn’t know what photo to put up, so Ewan McGregor got to decorate my blog this time. Not a bad choice, eh?
Well….peace out!
An eventful weekend.
June 10, 2009 20:27
Actually, I’m not in a blogging mood….but here goes. I can’t even remember much from the last days.
On Saturday we went to a gig. We had some alcohol in the blood and all happy! We got great places as well! Gig started great. I saw them 3 years ago, but I thought that gig was better. ‘Cause I knew the songs then. This time I didn’t. Well, most of them anyway. Still good, though! Some girls figured they take our good spots. So they pushed and squized to get us out of our way. We got furious, and pushed back. It got really nasty!! I wanted to get out, but I was stuck! The guards didn’t to squat either, and yelled at my co-worker instead. Fucking fabulous! Finally I was able to see a way out, and dragged my co-worker with me.
From further back, we still had a great view. And got to enjoy the gig again. My foot hurt like hell, so I had to walk around a bit. Those girls ruined my day, but the boys still did a great gig. Will buy their cd.
Next week I’m starting back at work. Not much, but just to try it out. 2 days, 2 hours each day. Will be nice to get back! I’m also watching my friends dog, Lego, for a week.
Yeeeah…I dunno what more to write. See ya!!
