Currently listening to: Yay! Kid Rock's 'Cowboy' Ever since I found it I've been listening to it non-stop. That makes me sad *shrugs* Ah well, you think I'd be used to it by now
I quite like that poem/limerick/song/thing. I have a use for one or two of the lines.. Next time you go on IM you'll see what.
Relive the 60's? Biba? Twiggy?! Noooo! How can they do that to us?! The 60's were hell! And Bob would be in his element, I don't want him to be happy! I've made it my job to ruin his gangly 16 yearold life.. *evil snigger* Anyway, back to the real issue:
I agree! Let's all relive the 30's! Clark Gable, the sexiest man ever to have lived.. *drools everywhere* Yup! I'm with you 99%! We shall lead a revolution! Hee hee! *goes a tad crazy*
Odd! How can you have a collection and not realise you had a collection You probably are the oddest person I know when it comes to regular everyday things. How do you do it? What's your secret? Ooh, please tell me how I can accomplish complete insanity such as yours... I long to know!
Wow! So I'd be in the same year as you if I went to live in Norway?! Wow, that's not going to happen but wow none the less. And there was me thinking you were in a higher year, Tilly, you've made my day
I'd better go and have a shower. It's incredibly hot here too Think snowy, cold thoughts..

Currently listening to: Michael Ball singing 'How Can I Be Sure' "How's the weather, whether or not we're together, together we'll be so much better, I love you, I love you forever..."
Ah, you've used two lines from possibly the weirdest children song ever made! And you even use my crappy translation! That's so nice... Any particulary reason you chose it?
"You probably are the oddest person I know when it comes to regular everyday things."
Oh! Say that again It's so unfamiliar to be described with no other words than "boring" and "possibly female" I'm not quite sure how I got the knack, but I think it follows with my name... There you have it! Just have a really weird name, and live with all the traumas that gives you for 15 years
Today on the class trip I got to prove one of my theories.
"I'm now going to prove my point that no matter how elegant, cool, respected, or generally classy a person is, the act of eating a banana robs him or her of all this. Look here at exhibit A, a teacher called Prof. Petter Even though he is dressed in fashionable dark short and a well-fitting shirt, and he is elegantly leaning against the pillar, he still look rather... simple, eating a banana..."
- Especially when someone commented that he "should stop acting like a pioneer for homo-erotica" and he couldn't stop laughing
I'm going to clean the dishes now. Ah, the glamour...

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."

Currently listening to: 'The Trail Of The Pink Panther' on TV. God this is hillarious
"Monsieur, I believe you have a massage for me?"
"A massage?"
"Oui, a massage... you gave me a massage this morning!"
"Oh, you mean message!"
"I know what I mean and I want a massage!!"
Ah, ok... You probably are the oddest person I know when it comes to regular everyday things. Happy? It's true though, you really are! But it's fair to say I'm probably just as odd, maybe even slightly odder
My Mother stole my trousers! Yes, petty crime has hit our family. She needed them to copy the pattern for somthing so she made me strip off it the kitchen! Jeez, now I'm wearing a skirt. I haven't worn a skirt out of school since.. last christmas
You have a gay icon for a teacher eh? I really wish you'd stop talking about Prof Petter like that. You make him sound like a god among teachers! I'm ashamed to say, I think I'd like to meet Prof Petter. And not just to beat him up... but I'd bring lots of bannanas Oooh, I think I may love your teacher now... what did his shoes look like ?
I've been wondering, what time do you get up for school in the morning? And what time do you get back? I'd still be at school now.. although you're an hour.. in front? Ahh well, never mind

Currently listening to: Tine complaining something about beds, my mother complaining about socks lying around the sofa and Missy mieowing in a complaining manner...
Oh, the Pink Panther movies are hilarious! Maybe except the last one, where the major actor is deceased It went a bit down-hill from there...
Well, Prof. Petter never used polished shoes - he mostly use blue sport sneakers, or on hot days, like today, he uses a kind of feminine sandals... Tell you what; I'll see if I can sneak photograph Prof. Petter some day, and then I can scan it for you! An evil plot is hatching...
Oh, sorry - Francois is coming over (wanting to see some of my Michael Ball videos) so I gotta go and clean up the mess in the livingroom...
Toodles!

Currently listening to: 'Child Of Our Time' with Robert Wiston. I must admit, I do quite like this sort of thing At the moment they're predicting that Francis is going to be an egotistic womaniser with an identity crisis. Heh, this is funny
Gee, your family do like to complain. Mine prefer to moan It comes from my fathers side, my Mums family complain too but I tend to lean towards my fathers tendancies As you can tell I'm writing this quite late at night...
Yeah yeah yeah! Me wanna picture of Prof Petter! *gets excited* Yeah! Pleeaassee! As soon as you can sneak one, it would be much appreciated. His mobile number and e-mail address would be an added bonus...
I went to Ikea tonight. Ugh, why has it got to be so big?! We spent waaay too long walking round that blooming place, we were there almost 2 hours! Crikey, my Mum was in her element! We ended up buying £60 worth of goods! I can't stand that place any more! It's driving me insane
Gosh, I'm reeally tired! Methinks I should go to be going to bed now I'll speak to you tommorow, say hi to Prof Petter for me

Tilly - back in mauve Posted Aug 21, 2002
Currently listening to: My own giggling and combined groaning... It's very hard, and I only make it if I concentrate The reason I'm giggling is because I've just returned from seeing the old movie version of 'The Producers', and I had no idea it was so funny! My family never wanted to see it, and since I was home alone and it was playing on the Swedish channel, I couldn't help seeing it. What's worst, I can't get that awful song out of my ead, "...Springtime for Hitler and Germany..."
The reason I'm groaning is because right before I came here, I checked a very popular musical theatre Board, and they're bitching about Michael Ball fans again... I'm so bloody sick of being genrealised! Because, appearantly, "every" MB fan is old, pushy, rude, air-headed, stupid and a middle aged housewife! 'Blue rinse brigade', is what they call us... God.
Okay, I've let out some steam. I'm fine now Daniel is staying over for dinner, and Tine is making the meal That can't be good. I think it's time I write my will or something...
It can get a little hard, photografing Prof. Petter... Most of all, I need a reason to photograf only him "Uh, Prof. Petter, I'm producing a calendar called 'Male teachers of our age', and I wonder if you would like to pose There, make yourself comfortable on the fur rug..." Nah, I think I'll just bring my camera on the next class trip of somethin' There are always some nice opportunities, and we go on class trips a lot I'm afraid...
Tomorrow there is a class trip, but that is based on cycling to the forest and take a water sample of the pond there. Hardly anything exciting, and with my usual luck ti will be raining. Ah, I'll see what I can do.
- Toodles!

Currently Listening to: Star Trek the next generation Oooh, what fun! Gah, I can't stand this, I'd rather watch Buffy than this! And that's saying something!
*snigger* The 'Blue rinse brigade' now that is funny Aww, I'm sorry! I'm not in the position to talk, as my man is loved by bored housewives all over the world too. In fact, neither of them are loved very much at all...
Woah! You've had more class trips in the past few days than we've had all year! Pond water collecting is one of my hobbies. Surely I told you about it? Oh, and don't forget to take a camera. I'm sure you can come up with some creative exscuse as to why you're asking Prof Petter to pose in a pair of teeny tiny speedos Your 20 somthing, professional Kate Moss lookalike english friend has heard good things about him and wants to see what he looks like.. that should cover it
I'm going away (yet again) tommorow. But this time I'm going for certain, and I'll be gone 5 days I't should be fun, cos I'm going to my Dad's friend Micky's 40th B-day party! He's having it on the beach, and there are gonna be Donkeys (Ok, sure. I'm afraid of Dokeys, but that won't happen this time ) and he's gonna have fish 'n' chips and all his friends are intellectuals!!! A decent one on one conversation for once! The last time I had an interesting R/L convo was with you in London.. this should be a treat!
Don't sell my things while I'm away, I know I did it to you but it's not nice to copy.. No monkey see monkey do here!

Currently listening to: 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' once again ... Suddenly I feel a lust for figure cookies... Only got ice cubes. Oh well *Starts licking a tray of ice cubes*
God, it's just too hot! I felt like killing myself today; A many kilometre's trip at 27 degrees C We got down there, measured the pH on the water (which left us with nothing really - we only got neutral, which it's not meant to be ) measured the speed at which the water travels, check the mud for life, note the smell of the water... And all while being told repetively that we are not allowed to use the water to cool us self down - it's not any healthy
We were also introduced for the new Art teacher - she had brought slides of her previous work She is appearantly one of the few Norwegian artists that work mostly with porcelain. She sculpts out of every form - mostly things that we are used to everyday (like Action Man dolls and light bulbs) and then sculpts porcelain figurines by mixing several figures to make a grotesque sculpt Like for instance, she had started out with the face of Action Man, molded that on the body of ET, and placed a light bulb on his head... And then there was a cute, idyllic figure of a resting deer, and she had made it a second head ...
Her most famous art is appearantly from a collection called 'Kengu-land', where she has taken a mold of her own limbs, and made a life size sculpt of a pregnant woman, only with a kangaroo's head. She made a whole family of these part human/kangaroo giant porcelain figures...
I'm not quite sure what to think of her yet
No, I didn't get to take a picture of Prof. Petter today - I would probably only have dropped the camera in the pond anyway - I'll keep you posted how the scheme goes
Have fun - I actually believe I'll miss you Send a Congratulation to this Micky from the Norwegian crazy girl.

"Argh! The Robin! Nooo..."
-Me
Currently listening to: the Robin that followed us from the campsite Oh, it's my Mum. When we were at the campsite (I swear I'm not making this up!) I was sitting down reading when a Robin flew at my face! I screamed and whacked it with Ibsen's 'A Dolls House' and it went tumbling into the bushes. I didn't come out of the tent for 2 days.. *nervous twitch*
The weather wasn't suitable for camping. It was so cold and wet I think I developed trench foot As I didn't have a very bright torch I couldn't read past 9 without having to do so in the toilet. So we had nothing to do but sit and play with.. dare I say this, a candle We melted all the wax and I became a regular pyromaniac..
Micky's party was certainly 'unique.' I had one or two intelligent conversations, namely with Micky and his girlfriend. We discussed all manner of things but mostly planes and the twilight zone that is Lincolnshire. That place is so weird they put Private Eye on the topshelf with the dirty magazines.. I swear that's true!
What a weird Art teacher! Gosh, if we had her I would probably be in hysterics! Crikey! Wow! That is odd.. I can't quite get over that, with the face of Action Man, molded that on the body of ET, and placed a light bulb on his head?! Please tell me this is your idea of a bad joke
Darn! When will I see that god Prof Petter?! *sob* I must me patient.. I will look upon his David face soon enough! I've gone all romantic over the past few days. The one good thing about Lincolnshire is it's abundance of 2nd hand bookshops!! I found this one place which was selling brand new Anne Rice novels for less than half price! Lord knows where they got them from but I bought 2 in one sitting. The next day I bought another 2 but these weren't new, they were a bit worn in but I got a fair(ish) price for em So I'm feeling very happy and lovey dovey...

Currently listening to: Michael Ball singing 'Hushabye Mountain'... *Sigh* "...So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain, wave goodbye to cares of the day..." There's a funny story to that song, actually. That is the lullaby Caractacus sings for his kids in Chitty, and when Michael intended to sing it on one of his concerts, he introduced the song saying "Just try to picture yourself snuggling nice and comfy up to me" - and recieved some rather suggestive comments from the female crowd He appearantly had a laughing fit for quite some time...
You're back! You're back! Nate is back! Yahoo!! I've gone so long without a sarcastic outlook on my affairs I feel like a regular teenager ... Only kidding of course *Shows off a cake* Welcome back! Uh, I wasn't so lucky with the cake. *Watches some thick cream slide pathetically to the floor* I've missed you and your weird humour for quite some time!
Ah. Sure Robins are lethal. Murderous little birds there
I'm going to school in half an hour or so - we're meeting up late, because we got to reach the bus for our school trip Yes. Another one. I'm getting quite sick of them now. Today we're going to see how the sewer is rinsed or something. Wu-huu
Wait a minute... *Hatches plot* No, on second thought *Hatches egg* Class trip. Today Prof. Petter is coming along. He's even in the group that bisycles there, so he'll probably wear shorts even. Conclusion: I'm bringing my camera! Sadly, I only have a non-digital camera now, so it will probably take some time to scan it and all, but I'll try! Although a lot of people will probably sneak on the photographs, so you'll appearantly see some classmates of me too
"the face of Action Man, molded that on the body of ET, and placed a light bulb on his head?!"
Yes. All tastefully made in porcelaine and painted in red I think she named the creation 'Dance fever' or something. We haven't had a real class with her yet, but I'm still a bit nervous of what she expects of us
Surely I must be living in the silliest country ever Have you heard A1's (I think) song 'Caught in the Middle'? Here's some trivia for you - you know that when that song first came out, it was officially banned from Norwegian radio? And why? Because 'caught' is pronounced in the exactly same way as the Norwegian word 'kåt', meaning horny/aroused That they sang about being 'Horny in the middle' was too pornographic for the leaders of the radio Jeez...
Private Eye? Listed as dirty Mag? Jeez, on second thoughts, maybe you should win that prize for silliest country ever
Well, I have to wrap it up for now - the bus is leaving soon Have fun with your books! And welcome back yet again
Toodles!

"To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost."
-Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880)
Currently listening to: My Dad laughing at me from upstairs He's being really mean to me today! Do you remember that conversation we had quite some time ago about doing things for no apparant reason? Well I decided to pay a small tribute to, the not-so-well-known (anymore) comedian and small piece of cheese, Alexei Sayle. Normally most people would read his book or watch 'The Young Ones' or somthing to remind themselves of him, but I (having already done that while on holiday) decided to go a tad crazy I thought I would celebrate Alexei by wearing my pair of brown, really old DrMartens (because of the song) I decided that since I looked stupid already, I may as well go the whole hog So I put on my shorts (previously trousers) which are all frayed and put on a pair of black & purple knee-high socks, my big beanie wooly hat and a stripey t-shirt.. my Dad actually told me not to come downstairs as he may have visitors So I got changed..
When I came back last night, I knew there was somthing a bit odd about the place. I've only just realised.. you sold my house! So now I'm living with someone called Mary and her husband Tim I would hurt you but nobody's ever missed me before! *her eyes well up with tears* Alls forgiven, besides, Mary and Tim are very nice.
Ahh, my world famous sarcasm! We wouldn't want you being a regular teenager would we now ? *catches sight of the cake* Aww! You shouldn't have.. *watches it get up and walk about the plate* Uhm, I think I'll have a slice later But you know what would make the perfect welcome back present... making sure you get a picture of Prof Petters legs! Yeah! Oh, and the rest of him.. And don't drop the camera in the sewer.
How the sewer is rinsed?! Wow! That's incredible, I wish we had school trips like that! We go to factories and abroad. But we rarely go on them and when we do they cost a fortune! I think I've only ever been on 4 school trips the whole time I've been at this school (3 years) There was the one to France, the one to the top of a hill , the one to the theatre (the best one) and the one where we went to the National Gallery.
When you say he "recieved some rather suggestive comments from the female crowd" does that mean you? Poor man, getting harassed on the stage by kåt 15 year old Norwegian girls. And he's in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Uh oh, I'm gonna get beaten up for that one)Well, it could be worse.. he could have been doing CATS. I know they stopped it (thankgod!) but it's still annoying me from beyond the grave That makes me sound a tad insane and paranoid doesn't it?
Heh, sexually aroused in the middle *snigger* I dread to think of what they did when the song 'Horny' came out.. was there a national scandal? "I'm horny, horny horny horny, so horny I'm horny horny tonight.." They liked that word didn't they I want you to send me a big list of dirty and rude Norwegian words, I only know the one so I'll have to keep repeating that.. kåt, kåt, kåt, kåt, kåt, kåt, kåt, kåt, kåt, kåt, kåt! Well, I am 14.. I think that entitles me to act slightly immature
""the face of Action Man, molded that on the body of ET, and placed a light bulb on his head?!"
Yes. All tastefully made in porcelaine and painted in red"
When I read that I was in fits of laughter! Especially the 'tastefully made in porcelain and painted in red' bit! I don't think you realise how funny that was to me! The daughter of an art expert... God, that was funny! Would you please tell her that I'm a fan already, and could she perhaps make me somthing with Hannibal Lecter's mask, a pair or DM's and a few Anne Rice novels painted tastefully in red *sigh* Gosh, I haven't laughed so much since we went to that pub in Lincolnshire and saw that 90 year old man singing 'Let me Entertain you'
I'm having a lot of fun with my books I get so excited when I get new books, instead of reading them I arrange them on my shelves first. I've got over 100 books on my shelves upstairs.. hmm, I'm sounding crazy again, but I've stopped caring! I have books so I'm too happy to care about your sniggerings
I forgot to tell you before I left, I've managed to get Bob on h2g2! If you wanna go and bug him use the link from my page. He's Apostatic or somthing, ach, I dunno! Don't be scared, he's quite a.. um, 'nice' chap really. He likes the 60's, Brad Pitt (), Friedrich Nietzsche, 'Interview With The Vampire'(I'm not sure if he actually likes Anne Rice novels or if he's just read them), Muse and his guitar. Oh, and he likes hitting me but not as much as I like hitting Ferdi (long story) I don't think he's had an Ace come and welcome him so would you do the honors? Poor guy, I think he scared everyone off..
*sigh* I've got less than a week left of the holidays... I think I'd better go and sort out all my new things. I know I said I was going to do that a week ago but then somthing worth watching came on the TV I promise to do it now... or a bit later.. or sometime in the near future.. or sometime.. in the future.. Ooh! DangerMouse is on!

Currently listening to: 'Heartbeat' on the telly I'm may be what we Norwegian's call "harry", but I think that is a cool song! "Heartbeat... Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?"
Oh, and yes, I'm so relieved: We have just bought a new TV! I love it allready - our former TV missed 1/4 of the picture, besides the left side of the screen was green and the other part purple Well, it's been in use since the early 80s, so I think I spotted a tiny tear next to the control panel when my father carried it into the car to go to the dump...
Ah, I'm sure you looked very... adorable, wearing brown DrMartens, frayed shorts, black and purple socks, wooly hat and stripey t-shirt Remind me to pick up some useful hints by you next time I get invited to a "bad taste"-party (Which also reminds me, why do I ALWAYS get invited to "bad taste"? That is the only kind of party I ever get invited to...)
Ah, ye-yes... The matter of your house I... I... *Creeps into a corner* I thought you wouldn't notice... Please don't hit me. *Pushes forward chest* Well, I gues you got to accept it. You can't stand in the way of progress! This bypass gotta be built, and it's going to be built -
Ah. Wrong speech, right?
And, er... About the... The picture of the Prof... Well, it sorta - wasn't taken But I have a really nice reason for it though - the problem was, you see, that since I was too lazy to bicycle the whole way, I took the bus - and Prof. Petter didn't. I didn't get to talk with him for the whole time, so I didn't feel like jumpin in front of him from a bush with the flash and scaring the wits out of the poor guy Surely you understand...
It was a meaningless trip too Some people bicycled for two hours to get there, and when they got there, all they got was a really boring speech ("You know, someone calls water 'H2O'...") , a quick glimpse and whiff of the rinser pool , and they left after an hour, not a bit wiser It was meaningless. A couple of pictures would have done. - At least afterwards, back at school, the only free teacher was the music teacher Trond, so we sat for two hours singing Beatles and ABBA (you really got to hear him sing 'Black Bird' )
And it's a bit sad, really I've finally found a music teacher I like, and then he's quitting in December, after 30 years of teaching!
No, I swear, I wasn't even in the audience when that happened and Michael said those double-edged lines And if you're looking for sexual undertones in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, it's easy enough to spot... Okay, look at these innocent lyrics: "Don't waste your pucker on some all-day sucker... Toot sweets, toot sweets, the candies you whistle..." "Me Ol' Bamboo, Me Ol' Bamboo, you never better bother me with me Ol' Bamboo...' Okay, I better stop myself soon.
Gah, I couldn't stand CATS Sir Andrew, what were you thinking?! Singing and dancing cats? Living in an alley? Huff...
Ah, I've delivered a nice little message for Bob. Hope he won't sue And although you are the big important friend of an ACE, don't think I will continue doing you these little favours... You can't order me around, I'm not your slave Nah, keep 'em coming. There are hard times. With as many ACEs we have now, in the end of the day, all that is left for me is the weirdos and hackers... *Starts playing sorrowful violin-music*
And, poor you Only one week left of vacation. Oh dear. Oh my. You're slowly losing your precious freedom and free mind. Soon you'll be back in the same routines, hour after hour, day after day, month after month Muahahahahahaaaa!!

Currently listening to: Yeah, I'm listening to Kid Rocks Cowboy again I need a hobby. It's not like it's even a good song or anything.. I'm just extremely retarded.
Bad taste parties? Wow, we don't have those. And if we did I'd just wear my normal clothesA harry? *snort of laughter* Over here it's a Larry. I'm not sure whether you meant that or not. Gah, too tired and confused to think.. does that make sense
Sounds like you had a really good time Makes me wish
Damn! When will I see Prof Petters legs?! There's nothing for it, I'll have to travel over there and pull his trousers down I'm sorry Tilly but there's nothing for it. I will ritually humiliate you while I'm at it. My Alexei Sayle costume should do it
When I told Bob that you'd left him a message. He completely panicked and even asked me what to write (lets keep that to ourselves) Well, it is his first time.. hmm, my turn to sound dirty He's written a reply! My goodness, you should be honored! He's totally blanking me on h2g2, I haven't decided if that's a good or bad thing yet
I've decided I'm going to lurk around your conversation and make myself known every so often, just in case you think I'm not there and you can be mean behind my back Uh oh, paranioa setting in again...
Why are there so many ACEs on h2g2? You wouldn't think there would be a need for so many.. how hard can your job be?
You know Nick Berry.. he used to/maybe still is in Heartbeat. And I've met Nick Berry, and he's stood in my garden and my Mum talked to him and I've told you about this all before and I'm really unoriginal and I'm really stumped for conversation so I'd better go and have my dinner

Currently listening to: Whatever Tine is zapping around at the moment...
Yes, I always get invited to bad taste parties, but I've never won I'm not even good at looking horrible... I was runner-up once though! Let me see, I had black/white striped pants just too short, a horrible colourful jacket a car-salesman wouldn't even touch, lots and lots of 80s-makeup, and a birght orange/silvery tie around my head I think I still got pictures somehwere (Where? Where?! They must burn! )
And you know, I did it, baby! I did it! I photographed Prof. Petter! He was a bit embarassed though, because he appearantly hadn't shaved, wore the wrong kind of shirt for him, and had dirty jeans... I thought he looked okay though You should be flattered: He was anxious of what you would think of him I think he even blushed when I said a friend wanted a picture of him.
You still have to wait some, though - first I got to use the rest of the film, then get them developed, and then find someone who's nice enough to scan it for me... But the toughest steps are done - it really is hard to bring such matters up in the end of the English class, "Oh, Svein-Petter, by the way..." but I got it done
Oh, I see by the newspaper that the popular bits of the Norwegian royal family (Haakon Magnus, Mette-Marit and Marius) has moved to London. Keep them, please! And ignore them..! If I ever find an article in OK! or HELLO about them, I won't ever forgive you
On second thoughts, you are most welcome to return prince Haakon Magnus - he's the only handsome member of the family - Mette-Marit you can do what you like with. Send her to some remote cattage somewhere and let her lead her own life
Well, I gotta go research for school tomorrow - our current subject is Charlie Chaplin - most of tomorrow will be used for looking at the videos
Toodles!

Wahooey! It took a while but you got a picture! I swear to give my full and honest opinion, but you must promise to edit out the 'phwoars' and the wolf whistles What exactly did you tell him? How do you go about telling a teacher you want a picture of him for your English h2g2 friend person thing, without having to explain what h2g2 is? Just talking your way into it is a feat worth talking about I'm patient, I can wait.. *waits* Hmm, still waiting.. *holds her breath* Mmmmhhpphh.. *turns purple*...
I had to suffer the humiliation of underwear shopping with Mum today While we were there a man in his 60's was standing with an old woman talking to the shop assistant. As I browsed the racks of knickers and bras I over heard the conversation..
"Yes, well mother has rather sensitive skin so a smooth material would be best"
"Hmm, I see. Would madam like to try somthing on?"
"Yes, I think she'd like to try this one [holds up bra]"
"Ok. The changing rooms are over there.."
"Would it be alright if I went in and helped her try it on?"
"Well men aren't allowed in the changing rooms.."
"Oh yes, of course. Would you help her?"
"Uhm.. [pulls face] let me get my supervisor.. [runs off to get the manager]"
My Mum then dragged me into the changing rooms where I half expected the old woman to go "Seymour! With an attitude like that you'll never be principal of the changingroom" "Yes Mother.."
Wow, I want to be invited to a bad taste party "black/white striped pants just too short, a horrible colourful jacket a car-salesman wouldn't even touch, lots and lots of 80s-makeup, and a birght orange/silvery tie around my head" Your outfit didn't sound too bad, just my regular day wear
I hate HELLO and OK! magazine I only buy private eye, with good reason! Why must you send your royal family over here? We have Prince Charles for god's sake! That in it's self is a tradgety...
*sigh* Only 4 more days left of the holidays... Aww, I don't wanna go back! I'm too young to be confined to a strict routine! I need my freedom I say! Freedom! *people in white coats rush in and sedate her*
Ta,

Currently listening to: 'As If' playing on the telly God I hate that show. Please tell me that not every teenager in London behaves like that...
Well, I had to think it all through before I dared to ask him, and I waited until we were both alone in the classroom (although nasty rumours often emerges from such ) and I told him I got this friend in England, and she have been nagging me for a picture of my teacher (I decided to keep it simple and not mention girls with cannibal-fixations and such) in which he replied "What? Me? Now? Here? Why me?" and so on, and as I was preparing the camera he kept insisting I at least should have asked him a day he had shaved, and he wasn't wearing a wrinkly untucked shirt. I assured him I looked particular good in wrinkly shirts, so in the end I got the picture taken... I might have cut off his head in the one, but he's got a nice body too (Gosh, I wonder if my grades would go up or down if he knew I was saying this )
Ah. Underwear shopping; The biggest of humiliations No actually, I think I found another one today; In gymnastics, we were having a "buttocks marathon" (only the title makes me blush ) in which you sit on the floor, legs stretched out in front of you, and basically drags yourself forward by this really awful movements of your thighs and buttocks What was worse, I came in last, being watched by all the ones that had passed the final line...
I'm thinking about dying my hair completely blonde... I like to change my hair drasticaly every now and then. Like, after a year as a blonde, I changed my hair completely to black, and I felt really great afterwards... I'm checking if it works the other way around too. No use in using that "gradually colour change", because no one in their right minds would actually believe I was born with black hair
Well, gotta go and scout for something good to watch on the telly... I'll come back to you in year 4023 ...
yippie!

Currently listening to: The Simpsons Halloween special Ooh, I'm so scared, someone hold me *jumps into Tilly's arms* Agh! *jumps out and into Anthony Hopkins arms* What a coincidence..
As If.. hmm, heard the name before but I can't remember what it is.. I'll ask someone *goes and asks* Ah, no. I'm nothing like that
*stands tall and puffs out her chest* While I was doing my regular lurking around on my comrades personal spaces, I noticed you had a new friend on your friends list I looked at your friends space, and to my horror I discovered that his name is...[dramatic chord] Marius! Now, I hope this isn't the Marius with whom I am sworn enemies? Not the Marius who I am intending to beat up? Not the Marius who I hardly know? I hope this is the vampire Armand's maker, Marius and not the other..
Yup, you're right! That's much more embarassing.. uh oh. Gotta go, I'll write some more here tommorow,

Currently listening to: One of my favourite songs of all time: Moloko "Pure Pleasure Seeker" What can I say.. I have warped taste in music I actually listen to Monty Python songs!
Buttocks marathon?! May I ask if you do PE with the boys? If you do, my heart goes out to you. It's one of the many advantages of going to an all girls school.. No BOYS! Yes.. now don't get me wrong. I love boys as much as the next girl but going to school with them is hell! How do you stand it?
Tilly, there's somthing I need to tell you. *sits down and hands her a cup of * Since you last saw me, I've experienced some.. 'changes' It's been expected for a long time now, what with my Hannibal fancying and all my odd and mobid behaviour. I have, apparantly become, a goth... I'm sorry, but I've succumbed to social status. Well, not quite! I'm still unique! It's just that people keep on asking me and I've decided to say that I am.. I apologise for any shock or emotional damage I may have caused
I think blonde would be an interesting colour change... I decided to keep my hair.. the colour that it is now (I'm not actually sure what my hair colour is) instead of dying it. My parents weren't keen about it in the first place, so I decided to leave it. It's quite ok to be a goth and have hair colour other than black..
Hmm, I'm considering becoming a man. Ah, I really should state my reasons before blurting out somthing like that I was thinking how easier it is to be a man, although I'd have to be gay.. as I wouldn't fancy women.. As you can tell, I have had too much time on my hands to think about things like this. I blame Bob.. you can tell him that If I'm going on about things like this it means I should be back at school.
I've gotta go now. I'm running out of things to say except: Tell Marius I'm challenging him to a duel.. we will resolve this!

Tilly - back in mauve Posted Aug 30, 2002
Currently listening to: Some Clint Eastwood movie blasting on the telly... And Daniel's sarcastic comments now and then
Well, I can say that PE is gender separated Or else I'd surely die of embarassment... It can be pretty hard though - we are only separated by the large plastic curtain in the middle of the room, and the boys often take turns peeking in all the wholes in it to see us do jumping jacks
*Takes cup of tea* You're WHAT?! Wow, this really... What can I say? It came somehow as a shock... Hm. I've never even talked to a goth before - they're not so usual around here (All I ever encounter of goths is in the cartoon 'Nemi' ) I must say I have some questions:
Does this mean you'll have a dark, crappy outlook on everything form now on?
What on eart defines a goth?
Will you start listening to Black Sabbath and Judas Priest?
Will your personality overall change?
What has mother to say on this? (Oh boy, gotta know this one
Excuse my ignorance, but you must keep in mind I'm just a simple weird girl from the middle of Norway from a small race of wheel-makers... I must say I'm somewhat fascinated Congratlution with making a (perhaps) tough choise. Please tell me more about all this
A man? Weirder and weirder... Yeah, I admit there would be some good sides to it: You wouldn't have to fall into either category, "bitch or babe"... You could pee standing (MAJOR improvement)... You could, er, be picked as the pope ... But there's one big dark side of it: In Norway you would be drafted to the military I remember when there was a big debate if wether women should start getting drafted, and I couldn't sleep at night, but luckily they decided we're still the weaker sex
I've discovered a major, er, doscovery : Prof. Petter has... He has a... Well, that kind of... Oh God... He is, er... He has a tattoo!! (Got you disappointed there, eh? ) But seriously, I should have known all along This is how it goes: I found some essays and articles I wrote about a year ago, when Prof. Petter still was new to our school, and I've found that more things I add about myself (because he like when we write in that kind of honest manner), he will sometimes wrote some side comments where he shares things about himself... Well, and when I wrote an article about tattoos, mentioning how it is a choice that is permanent, I only realized a couple of hours ago that in red ink underneath, he had written "Know what you mean... I got one and I really regret it"
And now, keep in mind that I've seen him in his training clothes, and still haven't caught a glimpse of anything of that kind... I wonder where he has it?
Oh, please go easy on Marius He didn't know he did anything wrong and he probably have forgotten about the whole thing. Besides, I suspect he is still a bit terrified over the sheer amoutn of informatoin that is found here
Well, speak to you soon. I feel like lying down horizontally and practise my snoring
Toodles!

Currently listening to: Hi-De-Hi! On the tv. I never found this programme the slightest bit funny, in fact, it rather gets on my nerves.
*screams* Oh my god! Oh my god! Look Tilly, Look:
Oh my god! Wow! New Smileys! Wow! Wahoo! Wowey! Sorry, I didn't know. I only found out just now! I'm probably the only one who didn't realise but there ya go.. I think I should calm down now, I don't want to get too over excited. Talk about playing it cool
In answer to your questions:
I'm the same as I was before. My dark cynicism is still there and I already had a dark outlook on life before I became a goth. So there are no major changes on that front
This h2g2 page may help:A473924
Probably not. I will always love Classical, The Blues and Jazz. I'm going to try listening to some of it but if I don't like it I'm not going to pretend otherwise to 'fit in' or be sterotypical.
No, I'm still the same. It's been a gradual change and I'm just the same as I was before, all that's changed is my taste in clothing. Sure I always prefered black but now It's a statement.
Her biggest fear was that becoming a goth meant me becoming a satanist or somthing. But I've explained that I still believe there is a god(Ok, I admit, I'm not quite telling the truth when I say that) and that I am still keeping the faith. Besides, most Goths are Pagan or Christian anyway.. so it doesn't mean I'm gonna join some creepy cult
It was (belive it or not) a really hard choice to make. I don't feel the need to belong to a social group but this feels right. I'm not sure how to explain it but I feel like I'm in a more complete frame of mind. I like gothic things, the art, the architecture, I love it. And being a goth makes it feel better. I'm not sure how to explain this at all but I'm trying really hard to give you a clear idea. I think this will shock my friends and classmates most of all.. they're not very open minded and I've already recieved some nasty comments about it. Most people don't know what to say, Vicky and I went shopping and I went wearing quite a 'gothy outfit' as she put it. She looked shocked and said:
"Oh.. I like your um, bat deeley.. and your nail polish. It's very.. um, black and urr, shiny"
So you're the only person who's asked me why I'm doing this and it makes me like you even more Nice to see you're interested and are going about it in a polite way.. unlike some people
A tattoo?! Ooh! Is this one of those games where you have to guess? Well, I guess that Prof Petters tattoo is on his... ahem, shoulder? Would you ask him for me? Aww go on, you photographed him for me (Or was that just your exscuse for getting a photo of him ) May I ask how you managed to see him in his training clothes? Or would that get you locked up in prison..
Aha! So it is Marius! Well well well.. well well well, well well well.. well well well. Would you tell him that I like his name I wasn't going to admit it while I was threatening to beat him up but now we're acting all peaceful I think I should say it. Apparantly Marius means "The Martial One" in Latin, Natalie means "Born at Christmas Tide" and Nate means "Gift of God" There's an irony.. I don't know about Tilde, you probably told me and I forgot, so maybe you could fill that one in for me.
Hmm, go to war or become the pope. I think we know what the answer to that is.. The Pope! Wow! Imagine me as the Pope, imagine you as the Pope! My Grandma would be so proud... while I'm on the subject of religion, on the radio yesterday the DJ said "Ok guys, I don't want you to all panic but apparantly this country is currently undergoing a crisis, we're having a national shortage of nuns.."
Yup, so Tilly, we're all gonna have to become nuns. Also in America the nun is becoming an endangered species. Their numbers have more than halved since the 1900's. We need nuns people! Sign up today.. cummon, it's the best way to rebel! You need never see or talk to your parents again, black and white are this seasons colours! Go on, become a nun today Wow, I can really sell that..
They made my saying into a smiley! Can you believe it! You say toodles and I use ta! I actually stole it off Hannibal Lecter but that's not the point! I have my very own smiley! Wow! I'm really happy about that! I've noticed you don't have a 'toodles' smiley *sneers* Ha! I guess I'm a trend setter.. *tries to look fashionable and fails* Damn...
My ignorance is unbelievable! I was sitting watching Tv and that funny travel bloke came on the telly. You know, the one who tried to travel around the world in 80 days.. so I was sitting there watching it and all of a sudden it dawned on me.. that Micheal Palin bloke, you know, the one how tried to travel around the world in 80 days, was Micheal Palin! I had no idea he was Monty Python Micheal Palin! Wowee! I can't believe it took me all those years to realise! I knew there was a Micheal Palin who traveled the globe and I knew he looked the same is MP's Micheal Palin but I never put the two together I even have a book by him upstairs! I can't believe it! I really can't believe I'm so slow! It's the aliens Tilly.. they do things to my brain while I'm sleeping.. maybe they do it to us all to stop us realising it is him and I'm the only one that knows!
I think I should go take my medicine now
