Kalla kårar, en aning missnöje och en mage som lär växa

Alla som hittills valt att ge sin input på frågan jag ställde i mitt förra inlägg har antingen röstat för svenska, eller varit obrydda över vilket språk jag skriver på. Eftersom ingen hittills protesterat och uppmärksammat mig på att engelska krävs för att de skall förstå vad jag säger så kommer jag nog att gå över till svenska nu. Jag kan dock komma att skriva på engelska i de fall där jag vill kunna dela med mig till internationella läsare, men det blir nog inte så många poster i den frågan.

Läste igår ut novellen ”1922” av Stephen King (ur ”Full dark, no stars”) och kände mig väldigt tillfreds. Stephen King är ju som bekant en av mina favoritförfattare, vars verk jag började läsa när jag var 10 år gammal. Därmed inte sagt att jag anser att ALLT han skrivit håller en jämn nivå, men det mesta som kommer ur hans penna är helt klart värt kärlek från mitt håll. ”1922” kändes väldigt oldschool Stephen King, och jag gillade hela upplägget på den. Den påminde mig mycket om ”Den typ som överlever” från novellsamlingen ”Den förskräckliga Apan”, en annan novell som jag gillar att återkomma till och läsa igenom med jämna mellanrum. Jag har tidigare utlovat lite mer ingående tankar vad gäller Stephen King och då främst filmatiseringarna av hans verk – jag skall försöka plocka upp (den teoretiska) pennan och få något ur mig på detta område snart.

Min mor kommer på besök ett par dagar nu. Vi kommer att gå på bio ikväll och se ”Dark Shadows”, och jag måste erkänna att jag inte ser helt fram emot detta. Tim Burton har länge varit en favoritregissör hos mig, men jag kan inte riktigt tycka att något av det han producerat på senare tid har varit särskilt bra. Jag tror att det senaste han producerade som jag faktiskt var väldigt förtjust i var ”Big Fish”, och den är ganska gammal vid det här laget. Men ja. Jag lär ge er en headsup på mina åsikter om ”Dark Shadows” imorgon, jag försöker hålla hoppet vid liv att den skall vara sevärd. Om inte annat så är det ju i alla fall lite quality time med min mor!

Vi skall testa en pub imorgon, var det tänkt. Relativt nyöppnad, ligger precis uppför gatan från Knutpunkten mot Buttericks till. Vi hade tänkt äta där sist hon var på besök, men det är 23-årsgräns och Zzucken är ju inte ens 22 år fyllda (argh! vad skall jag ge honom i födelsedagspresent?!) så vi gick vidare och åt på Harry’s istället. Konstigt nog så blir jag alltid lite knubbigare av att ha umgåtts med mamma ett par dagar ;)

Nåväl. Tillbaka på svenska alltså. Hej.

My feet, through the lens of Instagram

I started blogging in english instead of swedish at the end of January, when I went to Gotland and got pneumonia. At the same time I more or less lost interest in keeping the blog updated. I don’t think it is because I am writing in english, but you never know. I have quite a good grip on the language, but perhaps it’s the language that is keeping me from posting as often as I’d like.

I started writing in english because I wanted my non-swedish friends to be able to read withouth having to go through Google translate. I am not sure how many of you that are actually reading though, so I actually started a new poll to see if it’s worth the time to write in english instead of swedish, where my language IS more fluent and close-to-heart. Please take your time to chose the option that makes most sense to you.

There are pros and cons with writing in english. Pros – I have the opportunity to be read by people from outside of Sweden. When I comment on american blogs the bloggers can actually peek back and understand what I am saying. Cons –  it is not my mother tongue, and there are so many pretty and/or silly swedish words I can’t use.

Anyway. Yesterday I bought new shampoo and conditioner for my poor, damaged hair – Aussie Color Mate. It must be my imagination, but after one shower using the new products I think I can already notice a difference. o_O
The plan is to have my hair repaired and then see if I can actually get ALL of my hair in one colour, instead of this brown-red rainbow thing I’ve got going on at the moment. Goddamnit, I look HAWT in red hair and I don’t want all this brown-green-yellow~ish I’ve got going on.

Ohwell. POLL people! Answer it! Please? :3

Snarling bunny is not amused

A lot of things are stressing me out right now. Most of them are easy to solve and will be taken care of today/tomorrow/during the weekend, but until they’re fixed I will be all wired up. Ohwell.

The living room is almost finished! It looks really good with white walls, so I hope that this will help us get this apartment sold. So far we’ve fixed two rooms (kitchen+living room) and we are going to paint the fugly bed chamber too, but yeah. I think that’ll have to wait a little while. Or I’ll just go bananas and start painting it this weekend… Probably not, though. The furniture in there is too heavy for a tiny zombie like me to move, so I’ll just leave that to Nath since he is the one who was going to paint in there.

I was at the movies the other night and saw Avengers. All in all a pretty good movie, but it is really overrated and I can’t really see how ALL OF MY FRIENDS thinks that this is the best movie evarrrrr and so forth. Too many cheesy jokes and logic flaws for my taste. And then I started to think: Am I too cynical? I don’t laugh at that much nowadays. I watch Big Bang Theory and it hardly makes me smile, and at the same time everyone else are rolling on the floor laughing. There ARE things that make me giggle like a school girl or laugh like a madman, but I just don’t stumble upon them very often, so perhaps I am just really numb when it comes to excessive feelings? Bah. Instead of laughing with the rest of the audience at all the very obvious jokes (the ones you see coming from a mile away…) I merely got annoyed that they would go for slapstick and such boring jokes. Agh!

So, um. I guess I am just really boring. Or hard to please, could go either way.

Tomorrow Nath is going to host a Magic the Gathering party here, so we will have 6 other nerds in the kitchen. Me and Nath counted in; 8 of us. I will perhaps be going out for a beer after the first couple of games, but that is yet to see. Rumor has it we will have cake and beer while playing, so I might just as well just stay in to spend the evening with the Magic dorks ;)

A slight change of weight and body

I wrote this post (in swedish) a year ago, showing the picture to the left with the then current measurements:

Weight: 68 kilos
Waist: 80 centimetres

Ugh. I was not at all pleased with that.
The picture on the right is 10 minutes old, and shows the current measurements:

Weight: 60 kilos
Waist: 72 centimetres

I like myself better like this. I am not going to lie about that. I want to have my current body and keep it, and I don’t want to put on a lot of weight again (unless I find a boyfriend and get pregnant ♥) and that is that. There are several women who look awesome in their Big and Beautiful bodies – I am not one of them.

As usual – I put my own opinion about myself first. People can like this or complain about this as much as they want, but as long as *I* think I look better now that is actually what matters most. Then, of course, I don’t mind people agreeing with me ;) But yeah. I need to have my own approval before I start caring about others.

Just wanted to share the change, seeing as how I have already posted the first picture :3

I feel pretty, now I have value!*

Just got out of the shower, after putting some more dye into my hair and eyebrows. Now, for a week or two, I will feel like spooktactular Zombie again, before the roots are visible again and the brows have lost their red touch. Ohwell. I will feel pretty at least for a while! ;)

Apart from some sidetracking and labyrinthine thoughts of the dark kind, I am still high on happiness and love here. I can’t believe that I will be working for a new company in just two months! Yes, I repeat myself, but fuck you because I am happy and this is MY blog :P

Looking forward to this weeken when I will go out clubbing with Lotta. Finally time for some Distortion again! And if I can find a fitting top I will be wearing my uber-tight leopard spandex pants. They are so tight and thin they make me look nekkid. And, um, leopard spotted. Err. Anyway! Awesome ass amirite? (not really, but I will pretend I look good in them and my good friend Alcohol will help out there ^^)

I am also hoping that Paret Hårdrock will be joining me! I went out for a beer with them last month which was really fun, and also much more rock ’n’ roll than all the tweenyboppers and fashionistas and their blog meet-ups. We listened to some rough music and had beer, so yeah. Metal! .\,,/

Today I am still hungover from the wine I had on monday. My original plan was to spend Walpurgis finishing the paint job in the living room, but Thomas decided that I should go to Gothenburg to party with him and his friends so he actually drove all the way to Scania to pick me up. The fuck? Well, that was awesome and I had a really good time, even though I somehow finished a *whole* bottle of red wine (Motörhead Shiraz, ofc) and ended up falling asleep on the couch when the rest of the people were listening to music on Youtube. Ohwell. I am tiny and pretty cute when I sleep so people are mostly OK with me falling asleep randomly :)

Still got one wall left to paint in the living room though, but I will do that tomorrow since Nath is working late today and I can’t move the heavy furniture on my own. Urgh. Damn these thin arms of mine ;(

Ohwell. Kisses and hugs, kiddos ^_^

*if you know where this quote is from you’ve got my undying love! Or at least some of it :3
