Currently listening to: 'Friends' on the Tee vee God I'm sick to death of this show.. it annoys me now.

That is Kåre?! Woah woah woah, I take back all previous insults! Hubba hubba, whoooo eeeey! Exscuse my wolf whistles and clucks of approval but you're right! He is gorgeous! I take off my hat to him, he is lovely

Ugh, I read Roald Dhal's "Boy"! I hated that part, where they put the red rubber apron on him and cut his tonsils and all that blood came out We were reading it after lunch and I started to feel a bit ill. I think they use anesthetic nowadays, I'll ask someone. Do I know any doctors or surgeons Nope.. don't think so. I'll ask my doctor when I go.

I think I will jump out the window! Sounds like fun.. oh you didn't mean actually jump out the window? Ahh right, I follow now. I don't approve of Harry Potter but when I'm famous I'll tell my fans what I really think of J.K.Rowlings work Ahh they'll never choose me. Whats the point, I'll just audition and get refused Good to see I'm keeping my hopes up eh?

My throat is killing me! It's really annoying, I need another drink. So far I have worked my way through 2 litres of mineral water, and four cups of lemsip. Ugh! Nasty!

I'd better go, I need a shower. My hair is starting to attract wild life again

Currently listening to: My own loud, brain-crushing sneezes I haven't sneezed all day, but suddenly when I sit down to type, the snot statrs running...

Well, of course he's gorgeous! But sadly, I am cursed to not be shallow... I simply can't aknowledge that he's something of an Adonis, without aknowledging that he is a fabulous singer, can tap-dance, act, juggle and take his pants off in front of me ... Oh, and you wouldn't believe how softly he speaks And he even hugs complete strangers (me) when he says goodbye to them!

Ptrooa, hormones! Get down! Get down! *Starts thinking about my old, wrinkly school inspector* Whoa, that helped If it didn't I'd surely kill myself...

Let me see, what will I do today? Buy new nail clipper, new batteries to my Tamagochi digital pet (I've dug it out of an old box yesterday and I will probably get hoocked again ) and... some hair dye, I'm thinking about going blonde or red again. Or perhaps I'll bleech the tips of it. Whoa! Someone stop me! I'm a shopoholic!

Oh, I see where you're going! I myself knew I couldn't start really hating Harry Potter until I had seen the movie (Hatefully, I was forced to see it more than once ) Learn to know your enemy... And then crush'em! *Starts hyperventilating* Hee... Hexgu... Excuse me... for a mom... moment! *Starts breathing into a bag* Honestly, I never understood why that's supposed to help...

I should be going now to my shopping haven Maybe I'll force them to go to the bookstore! Yay!

Toodles!

P.S.: And I thought you knew a doctor...? MD Lecter or somehting..?

Currently listening to: "I feel so aliiive!" I'm not sure who it is, Papa Roach again?

Oh I don't know, I'd much rather be listening to jazz but we seem unable to get good reception. So I'm stuck listening to 20 somthing year old men in beanies, sing about how hard their life is and how everyone hates them. I have a theory that all these bands like Sum-41, who sing about how they were loosers at high school, were in fact the most popular kids I'd better leave it before I start another rant on how bands these days are selling individuality..

You know what? I've never been on a shopping spree in my life. I'm a saver not a spender, you just have to take one look at what I'm wearing to see that I'm not even sure what I'm saving for, when people ask I just say 'my future' even though what exactly my future is I don't know.

The last thing I bought was a pack of tarot cards. I still haven't used them properly, I guess that's somthing to do on Halloween As I'm not allowed to go Trick or Treating or anything it's all I can do to occupy my mind. My parents have several objections with Trick or Treating. They say:
It's begging
It's not a Christian thing to do
Halloween isn't somthing to be celebrated (this coming from a religion that celebrates the torture and death of christ and then his departing off earth)
It's not safe (I live in a neighborhood full of old people, I'm hardly going to be mugged by the old lady with loads of cats )
You're too old (You're as young as you feel, and at this moment I feel like I'm 3 years old )

I've been looking around on the FBI website (I was curious to see if the address given in the book 'Hannibal' was right, which it is!) Sadly Dr Lecter is no longer on the Most Wanted list In case you can't tell, the line between reality and fiction has blurred for me.. *grins*

Well I'm off to that party in a minute. I think my Mum is going to make me wear a skirt Good job all the skirts I owned mysteriously went missing a few weeks back. Funny that, my Mum couldn't find a single one.. I'd better go before she tries to force me into one I wore when I was 8!

Currently listening to: Rerun of the Emmy-awards on the telly...

Well, I'm an impulse buyer, so of course I spent an obscene amount of money that wasn't even mine... Let me see, what did I buy? My mother took me, as a surprise, to an old-fashioned toy store, that kind you simply can't stay cynical in, and you really wish you could point to a doll and say "Oh! I had one just like that when I was young!" although you didn't have one, because you had toys from the 80s instead of the 60s ... Okay, I'm finished with the babbling now Again, what did I buy? Teddybear fur (I'm starting on another one ), glass eyes, leather, "growler", heavy pellets... Oh, and then I simply HAD to go to the biggest book store in Oslo, and I left with "Holmes and Watson", a book speculating if the partners were simply heterosexual (So it was on sale ) and "Down Under" by Bill Bryson; I thought I'd check what all your praising was about Sadly, I only found the Norwegian translation, but that's okay I guess; It's about a year since I last read a full book in Norwegian... Oh, and I bought one of those useless knick-knacks I'm simply crazy about; Miniature classic books! I now got books Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson and Poe small enough to fit in a tight jean's pocket I finally read the "Raven", although I had to use magnifyer to see the text... 'Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."'

Well, here up North, we don't even have Halloween! So think about that before you go about complaining But we have something of an equal around Christmas times though (Which probably isn't right to translate to "Rum-Christmas", but I do it anyway ) you dress out, mostly like something from a Christmas song and you knock on doors singing Christmas charols. But since I moved here closer to the city, it isn't celebrated so many places, so the rewards we recieve is more of a improvised type; Can food, macaroni, bags of sugar ...

Ah yes, I once checked out the FBI website too Makes me wonder how many Lecter-fans have done it before me...

Well, I'm going to bed now and dream sweet dreams about whatever hunky guy should pass through my dreams... I'm not even sure why I wrote that

Toodles!

P.S.: Oh, and I finally saw "Vanilla Sky". Thought it was dire. The cover read, "-with and ending that will shock you and will not be easily forgotten", and I was pathetically disappointed.

Currently listening to: the bbc broadcasting from the bottom of the sea Have you heard about this? They have taken a film crew to the bottom of the ocean and are filming them and broadcasting it back live! It's really boring actually..

Yey! You bought a Bryson book! It's about time, the one you got is my third favourite My favourite is 'Notes From A Big Country' and my second favourite (Me and my Dad love this one) 'A Walk In The Woods' which is so funny it makes me laugh out loud in such a fashion that people stare. You made a good decision

You don't have Halloween? Woah, that is very odd. It's my favourite day of the year, although I don't do anything to celebrate it. I feel rather odd at Halloween, I always feel different

That party was really weird. It was lots of fun, I saw my friend, I had a really good time but it was really odd. There were famous actors there, you know, those sorts of people who you can't remember their name but know the face. If that makes sense Anyway, it was fun. I seem to have developed quite a taste for rum punch after last night, I was permenantly hanging around the drinks table Well, it was very good..

I've been looking on the net for pictures of snakes for my homework. I was browsing through the sites and I came across a really funny one I had to show you this, read the text:
http://www.einsteins-emporium.com/life/reptiles/lr450.htm

I'd better get on with my homework, or my Dad will come and yell at me again

Currently listening to: Big Ben Yes, I actually have a small replica hanging in the livingroom. The loud banging each hour tends to frighten the living daylight out of guests... That's one of the reasons I'm so fond of it, I guess...

Oh, I suddenly came to think of; Yesterday, when I was having a wonderful time in the bookshop, I actually found 'Emily' notebooks! That's so strange, I've never seen them in Norway before. I would have bought them, if I hadn't just gone broke on a pair of batteries...

*Sigh* Since I was sick when my class had the New-Norwegian exam, I'm stuck with it throughout my one-week holiday! I've started on the short story (it's a very cynical piece about a girl who gets killed by a drunk driver), but I HATE writing in New-Norwegian! The teacher have completely neglected it at school, and she blames us for it.

Well, this is a very short message; My mother is taking me to Kilkenny's I love it there, although some people think it's a bit absurd to throw a little piece of Ireland right in the middle of the shopper's street in Oslo... I love it there! It's dark, lots of charisma, live music at night, and you won't believe how hunky guys there are there! I like the one's that usually hang melancholic over the bar with a tired sixpenny-haton their head and a large Guinnes in their hand. Oh, so I love a good clichè I've never talken to anyone of them, but it's really dessert for the eyes

Toodles!

Currently listening to: Kelly Osbourne crooning down my headphones. I dislike this song but I am too tired to do anything about it..

'Emily'? I'm sorry, my brain seems to have turned into mush I think I'd better write somthing here when my intelligence and vocabulary. I need to go to bed anyway, and you thought your posting was short

Ever seen a thermit reaction? It has made Science appeal to me. In case you don't know what I'm whittering on about we tried to make Iron in Chemistry today For the science buff in you here's the word equation:
Iron Oxide+ Aluminium= Aluminium Oxide+ Iron (and a big KABOOM!) It was such a big explosion it knocked the safety guard out of it's frame and the glass/plastic hit me on the head. But amongst all the chaos I was too excited to care. The whole class was in a raucus but I just sat there grinning

If you want a little peice of Ireland then there's no better place to go to than.. Ireland! You may think that what you're seeing is what Irish pubs really look like but they are a poor exscuse for the real thing For one thing, where is the funny smell? And secondly where is the trivial conversation and proper Irish music? I suggest you read 'MacCarthy's Bar' Sure it's a ripoff of Bill Bryson and Peter Mayle but it's got all you can ever want to read about dingy Irish pubs in remote locations. It is quite funny too

I haven't sat down and had a good read in ages. I think I should go and read a bit now after my exercises. Yes I did say EXERCISES

Currently listening to: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Is it just me, or does Spike's British accent sound more and more fake for each episode?

Wow! I've never experienced a real explotion! How I envy you! But I've sat on the front row of a laboratory where they've set 5 helium ballons afire Not an experience to be cherished mind you...

Well, I went to Oslo again today with my father... I wasn't meant to use any money, but hey ho... I now have one collection of Oscar Wilde fairy tales (read them a hundred times but I still love them ), one study of the movie Singin' in the Rain, and the sheet music of the musical Aspects of Love, full with delicious pictures of a quite undressed, 20 year-old Michael Ball Hah, I'm such an impulse buyer I think I'm a threat to myself and others... Oh, and tomorrow Tine and I are going to Our Saviours Graveyard (we sure know how to have a good time, huh? ) mostly because I want to pay the grave of Henrik Wergeland, handsome poet and revolutionary from 1800, a visit. I've always had a mild crush on him (how sad is that? It's over 100 years since he died ) because I grew up right next to where he lived, and he wrote these really mushy, romantic poems each time he fell in love, which was fairly often. There's even a story when he was a boy he fell madly in love with a girl who lived on the other side of a big hill. Each day he would sit hidden in a bush on the hill and gaze at the girl, writing poems and songs about her when she was not to be seen. Many weeks later he learned that the girl he had been watching wasn't the girl he originally was in love with, but by now, he was so mezmerized by the girl in house, he continued watch her and even write songs about her That's me, always ready to praise a Peeping Tom I actually once paid that hill a visit, and lied where he once had lied and generally been in love... *Sigh*

Okay, finished babbling. I'm finally finished with the New-Norwegian exam! It turned out a lot more cynical than I intended, now it's about a boy, Lars, who, after hearing that his sister died in a trafic accident, can't find himself to weep over her. He evntually find a picture of her, and it ends with him bursting out and crying for her... I called it "Tears for Monica" Gee, I wonder how many people I have killed in my short stories Each time I sit down to write something, someone dies. I wonder if the teacher has noticed...

Well, I would go to Ireland if it wasn't so unconviniently far away Besides, I guess there aren't JUST handsome, depressed guys there, as in Kilkenny's... Oh, and I went to a little bit of Paris yesterday instead of Dublin That's so convinient in Oslo - two "cities" lies only two streets away.

Well, I'm going to go now and try to break her down so she'll buy tickets to the National Theatre. "When us dead awakes" (which I guess is the correct way to translate it) by Ibsen is opening soon. Personally I hate, hate, HATE Ibsen (the man was Norwegian, you know) but since Conradi is the leading man... Yes, I might inform you that he is my little pet-crush while I'm waiting for news on Michael Ball and can't go to school and see Prof. Petter because of the holiday. Oh, and the National Theatre is also putting up "The Importance of Being Earnest", which I simply got to see

Well, anyway, Toodles!

Currently listening to: Me whistling along to no particular tune

I found todays quote while flicking through a random book I picked up in our schools English department. I have the nasty habit of picking up books of shelves while waiting for teachers and getting stuck into them Sometimes I even forget what I came for.. which doesn't please the teachers I can tell you!

Science is my friend at the moment For our Science coursework I have to poke my (un)willing subject (victim) with a hair pin and see if the can feel it Our Science teacher probably thought that the enticement of poking people with pins would improve our bahaviour until then, and he was right! My Mum asked me if she could help me with my homework, so my victim, Ahem, I mean subject was decided. I'm looking forward to revenge on my parents, they'll buy me a pony next time I ask for one

Yes, Spike's accent does get steadily worse. I gave up on Buffy a long time ago. As Giles wasn't as much of a regular in this series as he was before, there was little reason for me to keep watching

I seem to have the same problem (if it can be called a problem) Whenever I write somthing, someone always has to die.

My new English teacher thinks I only read horror. I nearly fainted when he told me I should read other genres! I nearly screamed, I read horror quite a bit but you know I branch out frequently! I'll read anything, I was so mad at him I decided to pretend I was a really morbid, angst ridden young teen

When we were doing our English essay I showed him my work, he made me re-do it three times. All for the same reason, that he doesn't like to read anything with the slightest bit of gore :
MY 1ST DRAFT STORYLINE: Small girl in war time, watches her mother get blown to peices, gets rescued by soldier.
COMMENTS ABOUT: It's very well written, but the material? *I shrug* Nah, I don't like it either.
MY 2ND DRAFT STORYLINE: Young child lives with mother. Mother has a heart attack and the child is alone for days watching the body decompose
COMMENTS ABOUT: I swear, your style of writing gets better each time! But I'm still not sure about the storyline. Are you making it more morbid each time to spite me? *I nod*
MY 3RD DRAFT STORYLINE:
Young girl goes to grandmothers funeral, has ghostly experience.
COMMENTS ABOUT: Your writing technique is superb. I love this storyline even if it is a bit depressing

Ooh, is it fun to be a hopeless romantic? I wouldn't know, I'm too much of a realist. I typed Henrik Wergeland into a search engine but no luck If you ever find any of his works and have nothing to do, please send me the URL or post a link. I must see the works of the man whos got my friend Tilly in such a state

Hoo, I'm really hot We had PE today and just now I've been jogging on the spot for 15 minutes solid. I'm exhausted, I needed that rest! I'm only doing this for my health, plus exercising (excluding certain sports such as gymnastics) makes me feel good. If I may quote that awful film, Legally Blonde "Exercising makes endorphins, endorphins make you happy, happy people just don't kill their husbands!"
I'd better get back to saving myself from an early grave, I have found that jogging is easier with music

Currently listening to: A conversation between my mum and sister about "girlie-pants"

Today I think I did the single most shocking and blasphemious thing I've ever done; I spat on a grave. Yes, there's no one who respects death more than me, but I can add that I didn't technically spit ON the grave, but the shingle path next to it. *Sigh* Well, Tine and I was walking along Our Saviours Graveyard, where about every Norwegian that has made it big is buried, and I was heartily complaining about my New-Norwegian exam. Suddenly we noticed that we stood next to Ivar Aasen's grave; The founder of New-Norwegian himself! I'm very ashamed that I did it but if you'd sit hours upon hours studying a mere dialect that a man some hundred years invented for no particular reason..! If I was catholic I would confess my sins to the priest.

Well, I can try to look something by Henrik Wergeland up for you, but most of it will probably be Norwegian There's a poem by him that just popped into my head, and I can try to translate it as best as I can here (keep in mind it was supposed to rhyme)
"Through the big window the Moon shines in,
'Oh! Are you lying there my Love,
Paler than my cheek'."
- By Henrik Wergeland on his death-bed (I think he died at about 30 )

Well, when Tine and I was in Oslo today we suddenly decided to go to the cinema. We only had enough money to see a kid's movie, though. We first decided upon, "Spirit, the stallion from Cimarron", dubbed by Conradi (that name seems to appear frequently, doesn't it? ), but it was taken off a couple of weeks ago. "Stuart Little" we never saw the first, so we thought it pointless to see the sequel. And "Karlson on the Roof" was simply too... Scandinavian In the end we saw "Lilo & Stitch" - Tine was sobbing loudly next to me while I concluded Disney has no power over me anymore, at least not the newer ones. "The Lion King" still turns me into a weeping, mushy wussy though

Jogging for 15 minutes! By George, I couldn't stand 5! Oh you lucky/poor devil - that's pobably why I will get bottom grades at PE this year too... I'm beyond caring.

Well, tomorrow Tine is taking Daniel shopping (or was it the other way round? ) so I hav the house for myself Wahoo! (Of course, my mother has made me a dozen tasks to do...)

Toodles!

Currently listening to: My hand making it's click clicky noises. I'm sure they're getting louder

Ahh yes, me and Gene Kelley I won't go into details but there certainly was chemistry! May I point out that my parents didn't name me after the actress, thats not their style. Mind you they were going to call me Holly..

You SPAT on a grave?! Woah, I have too much respect for the dead to do that. What with Halloween coming up I'm trying to avoid angering the spirits, I'm not in the mood for any ghostly shinanigans at the moment But back to your naughty behaviour, I think that's unacceptable! I have managed to resist the urge to go spit on Shakespeares grave, so I encourage you to do the same.

Gah, my friends are dragging me to a nightclub during half term (in two weeks) My friend said that she's going to force me to pull a boy while I'm there. Forgive me for saying so but I want my first kiss to be special and not because I was pushed into a corner with some stoned, sweaty lad I don't think I'll have anything to worry about, boys steer well clear of me.

I'm intending to stay in a corner looking all mysterious It's the best way to do it, rather than throw myself at anything in a Fred Perry polo shirt like some of my friends

Disney never had any effect on me I couldn't bring myself to enjoy any film (except The Lion King, which I was obsessed with!) made by them. Although Fantasia had me enthralled and still does come to think of it..

I'm going to go and do some more jogging, I'm ashamed to admit that I'm enjoying all this exercise. I always feel happy afterwards I certainly am the weirdest person alive!

Currently listening to: A soccer game... And I think something has gone horribly wrong with our dishwasher, judged by the sounds Now wait, it was pocorn popping in the microwave The microwave is placed at the top of the dishwasher, so the sound... Well, enough of that. Now I'm listening to myself chewing popcorn

Yes, speaking of Gene Kelly, I saw 'Singin' in the Rain' today. Yes, again So suddenly being bitten by the bored-virus, I wrote a h2g2 guide-entry about it Well, I could always vacuum the house, which I was meant to do, but it was much more fun wasting three hours this way...

I agree, I don't want to mess up my first kiss by group-pressure Mind you, I got kissed in kindergarden, but then I can't remember anything of it and it wasn't any serious, so I don't think it counts (except if any at my school would ask)... Then passes 9 whole years Nine whole years? I have freckles younger than that! Believe me, if that peck on the cheek I recieved from Michael Ball earlier this year counted, I'd write that in every document but... My conciense is too strong Well, next time I see him, perhaps I will jsut grab him by the collar and hold him tight. Even though they'll probably put me away

My point is anyway, I want it to be with someone I care about. Not "just so I can do it"

OH, I managed to freak out Daniel during dinner again today We were having mashed potatoes with a kind og sausage mix, and well... you know when you put a lot on your plate, because you're positive you can eat a horse, and when you force that first bite down your throat, you're positive you can't have another piece of that gross food? Well, it happened to me And Daniel comes from a very disciplined family, so I guess he got a bit shocked when I walked up to the kitchen counter, scraped all the food off my plate, put on a nice big dash of mashed potatoes and ate it with a sea of ketchup It really is not a rare occurrence in my family, but nonetheless Daniel looked at me like a cuckoo had just sprung out of my forehead...

Why has Thou forsaken me? Am I now to be the single laziest person in the world? I hate exercising, and now I have no one to plot against PE with? Nooo! *Continues munching popcorn*

You know, eating things with lots of salt is not a good idea when you're lip is bleeding Y'see, I've still got a cold, and each time I have a cold over a long period of time, the upper lip swells up beyond reconition It hurts awfully, the skin bursts, and it reaches the sizes of Heathrow Airport I look like I've been beaten up (which I often tells them when someone asks )

What's more exciting?
A) "Oh, I just got a cold, and the virus makes my lip swell up a bit"...
B) "Well, I was in the most notorious pub in town when suddenly this big mean-looking guy walks up to me and gives me a real left. Well, you should have seen him after I was done with him!"

Okay, so I never go that far, but I love stretching it a bit

Toodles!

Well, I'm going to

Currently listening to: Chips cooking in the deep fat frier Ever have those days where you just can't face certain foods? Well I'm having one of those days..

Woah, I never said I liked PE! You've got it all wrong I swear! I just like to exercise at home, I'd still do anything to aviod being made do it at school! I'm 100% with you when it comes to plotting against PE, it's sadistic. We will no longer suffer in silence! No longer! Let's rise up against them, don't let the b******s grind you down!

Well I'm going. It's been decided that I'm going with them to Batchwood club and after I'll sleep over at my friends. Just in case I go crazy and do myself some damage Oh honestly, they think I'll go mental and start to chop everyone into little peices. You see, I'm the most impatient person on earth! I can't even stand being in a crowd, I get incredibly stressed and go a little bit crazy. To say the least..

My friends had to choose the club which is known for their certain 'attitudes' towards people without handbags and Fcuk tops I'm going to have to 'goth down' if I want to avoid trouble. I've been told by several people that me even wearing my Andy Warhol t-shirts would be considered Greebo (I came to the conclusion that they're so stupid that theyd think Andy Warhol was some new Goth/Greebl band ) So I guess I'm just going to wear a white t-shirt then

I'm finally going shopping! It's going to be hard not buying books but my clothes situation has got beyond a joke! I only have one pair of trousers and a few t-shirts, I need more clothes! I want to get a top with 'One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest' on it, but the chances of me finding one sporting that motif are slim. I also need a new coat, black and long preferably. I need some new boots too My Dm's are on their last legs, also I need stripey tights and some more tops. And if I need all that, I am of course going to need.. you got it, money

Oooh! I hate it when my lip does that, it hurts a lot doesn't it? I know, I have that at the moment. It's swollen to double it's original size and I look like I'm pouting. In fact a teacher actually came up and asked me what I was so unhappy about

", I want it to be with someone I care about. Not "just so I can do it"
Exactly what I mean, but I need that person to care for me too. I'm very insecure, I'm often described as paraniod and in need of constant acknowledgment I can't help it, I need to feel appreciated all the time or I'll take it to mean that people don't like or acknoledge me. It's a very awkward way to be.. the whole reason I'm going to the club is so that I put myself in a vunerable position, apparantly (according to all the psycological writings I've read recently) it's the only way to over come it.

Ahh I'm sure Daniel wasn't do 'disturbed' by what he saw I've done a lot worse in front of guests, but the less said about that the better

I've got to go now. I have a LOT of homework to do

Currently listening to: Some cultural programme on the telly. Right now it's about Norway's greatest transvestites

Whoo, I'm relieved Let's start plotting against PE at once... Actually, I'm thinking about starting to move some more myself. Hopefully some dancing, what about tap? That would be so cool, because right now it's very 'in' for girls to do ballet and jazz, so I want to go the opposite direction and learn to tap. Why not? These long, clumsy legs aren't good for anything so far I can be Jeane Kelly. Although I have read that in dance the eyes will always turn towards the most masquline body...

I practised at a dance school every Tuesday for three years when I was a little girl, but I still am lousy at dancing The only dance I still can do is the "hike" (which was more suitable in the 50s) and traditional polka, which never did me any good. Oh, and traditional swing, it was a nightmare! There was a step where the girl should sort of squat behind the boy, he should take her hands and drag her under his legs and swing her around in front. I was very tall, and all the boys were very small. I always feared that the next morning's newspapers would read "Girl (8) with heavy concussion after banging her head in boy's (7) arse in dance"

Today I, Tine and her friend Stine went to the swimming hall. That place always stress me out, and now it was so full I felt like a tinned sardine - and I am always *this* close to start screaming obscenities to the other guests The men are large, wobbly and hairy and wear too small speedos or grab themselves. The women are large, wobbly and hairy too, and always drag around screaming babies. The teenagers are either covering themselves in the towels like scared squirrels or strutting around like young gods. The babies groan, shriek and stand in the way, and you just know they're urinating and doing worse things in the pool Today a little thing floating past me was either a meatball, some snuff or s**t - after that I went home

Okay, it's out of my system now... That was just me after a "relaxing" day in the swimming hall.

Thinking about it, I'm starting to wear thin with my clothing too. I've started digging deep in my closet after emergency clothes, and am currently wearing a shirt I used to sleep in when I was little My sister may try the one outfit after the other, always trying to find the perfect wardrobe, while I just point towards something and say, "Oh, that's great. Buy that, and let's get out of here." and I never wear it Well, perhaps I ought to do some serious shopping and actually buy things I'd like to use...

Well, good luck with the homework, I'm going to work some more on my teddy bear. I'm nearly finished with the body, and it creeps Tine out seeing the body and head separated Sadly, my mother is on a business trip to Sweden for some days, so I have to do the work myself...

Toodles!

Currently listening to: "Blah de blah de blah." Have you ever shouted somthing out for no reason on Gods good earth? Well, I seem to be doing it an awful lot recently, and just now I shouted out the most stupid and pointless thing I could "Tony Blair" Odd that, eh?

Ugh! Don't mention dancing! I am the worst dancer ever, I have little (ok, no) coordination and I can't put together even the most simple routine It's incredible really, when I was younger I was a gifted dancer (apparantly) I used to do Ballroom, Jazz, Disco, Ballet and loads of other things but now.. I can't do a thing. Also, I used to be able to read music and do all manner of things but now I can't remember a thing

I hate swimming in the public baths The whole thing is enough to make you sick, thats why I took out a membership to a gym and swimmingpool. I only use the pool, no need to worry

It's nearly time for me to go to bed I need my sleep, sorry this post is so short.

Currently listening to: I'm shouting things out again "Horse!" "Tiddly Winks!" "Cucumber!" "Cheese!" "Ni!" "Eeevil!"

Yes, I too think I have reached complete and utter insanity. *sigh* It's quite funny really, people seem to know I've gone completely wacko, and now steer well clear of me

Hoo boy! Ahm going to Camden Market tommorow Yes yes yes!!! My Mum said she'd take me, so I'm going to finally get some decent clothes. I'm so happy I'm bouncing off the walls, almost litterally

Ooh dear, got to go.

Currently listening to: A Steve Martin comedy on the TV My family's always been major fans of mr Martin, so we've seen them all about 23000 times...

Hm, it sounds fun going insane. Here let me try... Mauritzius! Carpenters! Fruit-laced!! It's quite fun, actually

Today I realized how amazingly spoiled I am. Why? Because I'm 15 years old and today was the first time I bought a video for my own, self-earned money That's right. I earned 500 NOK (= £44) last year when I last minute was offered to read one of my own writings at a meeting for specially invited authors And they have been lying in my money box gathering dust for over a year (mostly because I, in period, lost the keys to the money box) And so today, when browsing in the gigantic Norwegian Movie Institute movie shop, I finally found "An American in Paris" Yay!!

Well, I'm done with my little rant-of-the-day and are now going to have some laughs... Have fun at Camden Market!

Toodles!

Currently listening to: My Dad's Jimi Hedrix Cd My Dad is one of those people who wish they were born black, they've seen 'Shaft' one too many times and listen to black music 24/7

Ooh I do love Camden Market! It's the best shopping experience you can get in London, next time you come I'll have to insist you visit There's loads of places worth visiting, I spent most of my time in a shop called the Black Rose: (http://www.blackrose.co.uk) and just looking at various stalls. It's worth a look, even if you're not into that sort of thing.

Pah, that doesn't mean you're spoilt. In all fairness, I've never bought my own video I hardly ever buy videos, in fact the last one we as a family bought was The Lion King. We don't buy videos, we tape them off the TV or get given them. I have 'The Silence Of The Lambs' only because a friend taped it but hated it, so she gave it to me She also has 'Hannibal' and all the films I want, but I see no point in buying.

For our Citizenship project we have to come up with a way to help the community I sat up in bed til 3 in the morning trying to come up with a way of helping the people. It then hit me, it was so obvious it hurt! A fund raiser! Now the question was how can we raise the money? We needed it to be original, exciting, interesting and most of all funny. I sat pondering... it till late. What would I call 'funny', Monty Pythyon!

So I'm going to propose that we have a comedy show. We can do Python Sketches and other comedy acts etc. If it all goes according to plan, maybe I can persuade my Drama teacher to sing 'The Lumberjack Song' I'm looking forward to it I'll make sure I get a main part of course, and I'll do my silliest walk I can muster

Mmm, dinner time Roast dinner, I feel like I haven't eaten in aaaaages..
