Going hunting

Today I am going on apartment hunts.
Going to see 5 different places
I am a little nervous.

Think I would prefer cheering with a guy, if I am not getting a place by myself, they are more relaxed, and I seem to get along with them better in general :)

Whish my luck

BARCELONA

I AM IN SPAIN!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey

It was a horrible journey which started at 5:30 in the morning and ended at 00:30 in the night. Also I had to pay 460 USD in overweight on the plane. Damn, that hurt my wallet.
But the reward was great.

I have been walking around in Barcelona for a couple of hours now.
The city seems to be filled with smells, sounds and views that fills me up with all kinds of senstations.
It seems a lot of places smells like Vainilla and pastery. Ha ha ha, I really like that.

I have been walking a lot in the Gothic area today, maybe its the litte Goth part of me seeking its roots.
I am going to look for an appartement, possably in this area, I will see. When I get an apartement, I would say to any friend (real life or internet) of mine who would like to visit "Mi casa es tu casa"

The Gothic area is all narrow streets and a wonderfull "old" atmosphere. Theres all kinds of people going around in the streets. Punks, artists, business woman, all kinds in a good mix. Its like a European New York.
The atmosphere is vibrant and alive and people look you in the eyes when they pass you in the street. I am not used to that, coming from the cold, introverted Norway, where people look at you when you look in a different direction.
I love this streightforwardness.
This might just be my kind of town.

THE TRUE HELL

Moving is HELL
Seriously.....
HELL!!!!!

I would prefer being beaten up by a 75 meter high dinosaur,
20 hours of being stabbed with needles (or acupuncture as some people call it ;)
or maybe 10 hours of listening to Mariah Carey sing

All three agonies that would give the word pain a deeper meaning, but moving..........I am speechless

I havent had any time for internet at all these days and I must say that there are a lot of people I really miss.
To you Florian, Chris, Julien and Jessica I miss you all a lot and I think about you all and I am looking forward to talk to you soon, my life hasnt been the same without you there lately.
There are other people I could list here to that I didt talk to that frequently, you know who you are, and I miss you all a lot.
I will try to update this blog now and then so you get a little peek inside my moving-prosess.

Yesterday my dad and I moved nearly al my things. It was a hell of a workout. I was totally spaghetti after all the carrying and lifting, but also very proud.
I have waaay too much stuff though, I have to get rid of some of it I think, its not good.
I am really looking forward to a clean new start in Barcelona, everything brad new and exciting, but its truly sad to leave Norway behind now too.
I have gotten to know some new people lately that I have aprechiated a lot (especially you Pål and Stig) and also leaving behind my old friends for many years is very sad. Not to mention my mom which I love so much (in spite of our endless fights, he he) and my dad.

Yesterday I got to know that my grandmother, which is the sweetest old lady ever, fell down a stair and is in the hospital (the rest of my family lives in north of Norway, including her) and that makes it even harder for me to go. I am really worried about her, cause I love her so much, and I would really have wanted to travel up there and see her.

So, leaving is just not a easy choise, it is a mixed feeling.
But I am looking forward to this new adventure in my life....

Now I have to go back to trying to find a good place to stay in Barcelna. I have tried to find a flat for a looong time now, but I have given up in a last minute panic and I am going for a hostal intead. Something which doesnt seem like an easy task either.
Hope I am not ending up on a parkbech ha ha ha.....

Hugs to all of you that I love and miss, and to all of you reading my blog

REGGLEMANG

I found this while cleaning up in the attic. Its a list of "Rules" me and my best friend Lise (at that time) made for our house.
It was when I was 19 and went to a artschool outside of Oslo.(Moss)
We had a weird form of humor which still cracks me up. Some of it can be hard to get cause it was based on events or situations that we had shared together.
I will translate some of the rules into english in a while:

0: Finner du noe du ikke vet hva er, stapp det opp i nesa (Inspirert av Effie i tegneseriebladet Ernie)
If you find something you dont know what is, chunk it up your nose (Inspired by Effie in the comix Ernie)
1: Ikke kjønnshår i vasken (Lise hadde en skummel og luguber fortid fra et hjem med visse tendenser)
2: Hvis /dersom du "puher" (røyker hasj) skal ikke Gry vite noe om det
3: I løpet av din botid, må du drille hull i huset. Helst i stuebordet (selv om det er litt mot reglemanget)
During the time you live in this house you have to use a drill to make a hole in it somewhere. The best place would be in the liovingroom table. (even if its a little against the regulations)
4: Ikke mygg i kjøleskapet

8: En gang per stund er du nødt til å gå til din nærmeste menghet / sekt å si at du vil bli frelst (Lise hadde en stemor som var misjonær så hun hadde kristne litt opp i halsen)
9: Reglemanget krever fullstendig ærlighet (Det gjør det fortsatt) The regulations demand 100% honesty

11: Ikke lov å sitte på bordet til Gry (Men kanksje lov til å drille hull i det) (Denne ler jeg meg fortsatt ihjel av) It is not allowed to sit on Grys living-roomtable (But maybe it is allowed to drill a hole in it)

Comment-hat

Picture this in your mind:
This is a hat I have put down on the pavement and I am sitting next to it. You are now walking by me. The hat is my commentpage to this post and I am my blog.
Now you can place something in my hat if you have liked reading my blog (me). It can be anything - just give what you would have liked to give if you walked by me sitting there - just a smile will do, cause that would have made me very happy.
If you didnt like it, just walk on.................

Problems

Night walk for the night owl

I met a guy from the net in real life the other day and I can reveal to you all that it was great.
He suggested that we should go to a cafe to meet up, but I wanted to do something where I felt more "secure" in a way (was a little nervous) so I suggested we could go for a night walk instead.(I love endless walks at night, or whatever the time) And so we did.

We met outside the botanical garden here in Oslo at night. At these hours it is closed so we had to climb over a fence with barbed wire on it, something which went quite alright.

It was really nice, rain was pouring down, but we sat under a huge tree for a while and just talked.
The air was chill but not too much, just so one got a nice touch of it on the skin.
The sky was dark, but yet one could sense a dim red light from it. The entire atmosphere was a tad" wampireish", but stil calm and serene - really my kinda thing.

He had a wondeful umbrella which we walked under for a while and talked, while listening to the hammering of raindrops over us.
We spent around 2 hours in the park doing some silliness (this place was an extremely good place for making up stories and running through bushes) and some just strolling around, talking...untill we were caught by a guard and thrown out.
Some people find it embarrasing to be thrown out of places, I just think its funny. (must be the little rebell in me)
It was a very good night all in all

Lists 5 : 10 Random things I have done on travels

1 Get a guy arrested because I was skinnydipping in the middle of the nigh in the holidays (They don'nt arrest white touristst in the Caribbean for such things, so they took him instead. Can you believe it? I couldnt...Really injust)

2 Kissed a guy through the sprinkles of an old fashioned prison (result of the incident above) while a lot of other prisoners where cheering for us in the background.

3 Begged a policeofficer to release the guy pretending to be his pragnantat wife (They release people on the strangest reasons there. The entire systemtm is fucked up)

4 Hichiked for many months covering an entire country

5 Been borrowed (me and two of my friends) a huge mansion with swimmingpool for a day just as a nice and friendly gesture towards us

6 Been threatened with jail if I dint have sex or give money to a guy, who actually went and fetched the police, to take me in when I said no

7 Gone for 3 hours through an entire village looking for water that had absolutelyly none of it

8 Been robbed for all my money and creditcard and gone starving without money for 14 days

9 Cut off all my hair (2 cm short) myself with a rusty scissor after having it long (or half long) for 22 years

10 Been offered a job as a scubadiver instructor, but turned it down, since I went on an impulse trip to Germany with a guy I met instead, that suddenly inviteded me and who lived there. (Ended up living together with him as his girlfriend for 5 months)

Lists 4 : 10 Random things I have done

1 Get a guy arrested because I was skinnydipping in the middle of the night on a holyday (In the Caribean, Its very injust, they dont arrest Europeans and wites so they took him in my place, can you belive it? I couldnt either)

2 Kissed a guy through the sprinkles of an old fashioned prison with 10 other prisoners in the background cheering (result of the above) and begging a policeofficer to releaes the guy pretending I was his pragnant wife

3 Hichhiked for many months covering an entire country

4 Been robbed 5 times during a periode of 6 months

An open letter from Michael Moore to George Bush

Friday, September 2nd, 2005

Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Elven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!

I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?

And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!

On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.

There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!

You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.

Yours,

Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st."

Election 2005 in Norway

I am so happy today
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
There are several reasons
The first one is that we now have a socialistic government and SV is part of it. SV has never been in government before and this is something I have dreamed about for years. It is a historical event...Yeeeey!
Now we can finally get some real socialistic politics in this country!
A safer and better environment (environment should be prioriticed before economical growth), better social welfare (eksamples: kindergarten for all kids, better schools for all, better care for the elderly and cut in the health queues) and a battle against racism has begun!
Yyyeeey again!
And also I am just in a good mood for no reason at all *huge grin*

The sad part is the folowing:
SV lost a lot of votes in this election and therefore also a lot of influence in the new governemnet (they wil probably be foreced to a more conservative politic)
RV (the party I voted for) didnt get enough votes to get into parliament *tears* and therefore the socialistic side will probably go more to the right as the have no opposition to the governemnt (where Ap is the strong part and more concervative)
FRP (the culture destroying, racist, environmental dangerous horrible party) got 22,1 % of the votes and a lot of innfluence in the parliament. They are now the largest non-socialistic party and the second largest in parliament. This gives me chills down my spine...chills!!!!!
Here are the resutls:

A 32,8 % SV 8,7 % RV 1,2 % SP 6,5 % KRF 6,8 % V 5,9 % H 14,1 % FRP 22,1 % Andr. 1,9 %

Representants in pariament 87 repr. 45 repr. 37 repr. 0 repr. SP SV A V KRF H FRP Andre

Election in Norway 2005 (again)

Oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my!!!
This is so exciting!!!

Please let the socialists win so we can have a change of government!!!
Oh, SV in government would be heaven, ha ha! I have wished for that for years!
And RV into the parliament too!!! So they can kick some ass and be a good drive on the left wing side for a more liberal politic.

It seems FRP, the most horrible culture destroying, racist party is getting a lot of votes this year. (I am glad I am moving to Barcelona)
This will be an exciting night!
WHOA!

Election 2005

Er du usikker på hva du skal stemme på mandag? Hvis du står på vipp mellom to partier er dette to fine linker. Den første linken er til en side hvor du kan velge to partier og sammenligne deres saker.
Den andre linken er en liten test hvor du sier din mening og får en måling på hvilket parti du er mest enig med.
Og husk.... det lønner seg ikke å prøve å stemme taktisk. Hvis du f.eks er for den rød/grønne regjeringen vil en sosialistisk stemme sikre dette valget uansett! Det samme gjelder for en konservativ / sentrums regjering.
Stem for det partiet du føler taler mest av dine saker!!!!
Ha et godt valg!!!

Election on Monday

Its election day on monday, finally, and my choise is pretty easy. I am really looking forwrd to it (Guess I am weird)
here are a few of the reasons I am going to wote for RV. (If any of you out there can find a norwegain/english translator I would be grateful. Until then this wil be in Norwegian.)
I hope you dont see this as propaganda, but information.

Thank you

Den viktigste forskjellen mellom RV og SV er nå at RV er for å trekke de norske soldatene hjem fra Afghanistan, det er ikke SV. RV vil være en prinsippfast krigsmotstander på Stortinget. RV er det eneste partiet som stiller til valg som vil ha norske soldater hjem fra Irak og Afganistan.
...........
RV mener at å delta i krig ikke er å hjelpe innbyggerne i Afghanistan eller Irak. Sivile er derimot krigens ofre. Krig fører til at infrastruktur og miljø ødelegges i landene for mange år framover. RV kommer til å støtte oppbyggingen av Afghanistan og Irak, men da må dette skje på premissene fra de som bor der. Ikke på grunn av interessene til internasjonale selskaper, som tilfellet i stor grad er i dag. Vi vil at bistandsmidler i Norge skal gå nettopp til bistand, ikke til norske styrker og tropper i Afghanistan og Irak.
...........
RV arbeider for en annen verden, som både er mulig og nødvendig. En verden uten undertrykking og nød, og der alle skal ha like muligheter uansett størrelsen på sin egen lommebok.
..............
"Jeg mener at Norge og den vestlige verden fortsatt ikke er et reellt demokrati. Det er kapitalen og ikke folk flest som styrer de store linjene i norsk politikk.Det er kapitalen som f.eks presser fram en nedleggelse av Union i Skien, det er ikke de som arbeider der. Det er ikke folk flest som vil legge ned avdelinger på Haukeland Sykehus eller på lokal sykehusene i Odda, Stord og Voss. Det er det kapitalen som gjør.
RV ønsker et sosialistisk folkestyre, der det er folk som bestemmer og ikke pengemakta"

Torstein Dahle (Partileder RV)
................
Sannheten om en gammel myte:

"RV har aldri hatt programfestet at vi er for væpnet revolusjon. Dette er en myte som blir spredd om partiet. RV er IKKE for en væpnet revolusjon. I vårt program står det at vi ønsker at et FLERTALL i folket skal få kontroll over produksjonskreftene. AT vi trenger en gjennomgripende samfunnsendring. Det er dette vi kaller en sosialistisk revolusjon."

- Torstein Dahle
................
Spørsmål:
Hva vil skje med en landet dersom vi hadde fått en ren RV-regjering?

"Nå tror ikke jeg det er særlig sansynlig at dette ville skjedd. Men dersom RV fikk flertall ved valg ville det tydet på at folk ønsker en grunnleggende endring av samfunnet. Jeg kan vanskelig se for meg at det kunne skje uten at det var en revolusjonær stemning i folket. Hva som ville skjedd, folk skulle selv fått styre mer over sine egne liv. Både hjemme, på skole og på arbeidsplassen ville rfolk kunne delta i viktige avgjørelser."
- Torstein Dahle
................

RV er for at det skal vedtas en antidikrimineringslov, som gjør det forbudt i Norge å diskriminere noen på grunn av funksjonshemminger.

...............
RV er for et to-pris system på strøm. Strøm til vanlig husholdning skal være billig, mens overforbruk skal være dyrt. Det skal altså være billig strøm for normal husholdninger, mens rike mennesker med varmekabler i garasjen og boblebad på terrassen skal kunne få betale mer.

.............
RV arbeider for et skille mellom kirke og stat.

.............
Spørsmål: RV har gått ut mot nasjonale prøver. Hvorfor det? Elevene som ikke vil ha prøvene er bare late, synes jeg.
Skrevet av: Olav

"I RV mener vi slett ikke at elevene som ikke tar prøvene er late. De gjør derimot opprør mot at skolen er i ferd med å gjøres om til en kunnskapsfabrikk, der du blir opplært til å en strømformelinjet tenkning. RV arbeider mot den nyliberalistiske skolen, og tror ikke konkurransen mellom skolene og elevene er med på å øke kvaliteten i den norske skole, snarere tvert i mot."

Boring

I changed my hair again and colored it dark blue-purpleish this time.
It bores me already.
didn't like the color that much this time. Was kinda boring.
Is it me or is it the world?

...... Shouldn't people wear more tophats and capes
and shouldn't the busses be blue
and purple
and yellow
and orange
and green.
maybe even with spots

Why all the brown and grey and shitty boring colors?
And houses looking like cardboardboxes?
Do the architects and their crews want to get us depressed? (Maybe its a sly way to get us to buy more stuff we don't need)
or do they just not have enough imagination
or was the brown color on sale (a lot of times, a all year around sale it seems)
But Gaudi...He knew a thing or two ;)

Clothing metamorphosis

I just made a pantyhose into a shirt / body
I think it looks good
YEY!

A foxy man

I was at this office-thingy-fix-some-papares-notworthmentioning, yesterday .
I had to sit there a really long time before it was my turn, but when it all of a sudden was I got a surprise. The guy that was going to help me was jum. I mean JUM!!
He was in his late 30s (I don't give a shit about age) he was jumjumjummy.
In the kinda way that I sortof had trouble focusing on my paperthingys and was more into just taking in the his jumminess, he he!
And there sure were some sparks flying in the room while we tried fixing paperstuff.
I thought about going back and asking him out (Yes, I am a girl and I do that, are you shocked? Ha ha!), but maybe that is just silly.
I mean, it sure would be inappropriate in some way (Norwegains would think so, believe me), but frankly I don't give a shit about that.
But I am leaving for Barcelona really soon........bahhhhh.........
But he was fiiiiiiiiiiiiine I can tell you *sighs*
He had this " I am a MAN, strong and confident, but yet compassionate and caring and soft in some ways look" pluss some indefined sensuality of a kind that just melted me down.
I just felt like throwing away all of the papers and explore all of him with my lips.
Hmmm, maybe I`ll go back.......we`ll see.....
*sighs* (Okay I know I am being a little tacky with a picture of my lips here, but I could help it, he he)

Not Barcelona????? He, he!

You Should Learn French

C'est super! You appreciate the finer things in life... wine, art, cheese, love affairs. You are definitely a Parisian at heart. You just need your tongue to catch up...

What Language Should You Learn?

Test nr 2

Your Brain is 53.33% Female, 46.67% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

What Gender Is Your Brain?

Barcelona again baby!

I decided to go to Barcelona for something like the 1254,5th time.
I had a long talk with a guy who has been there a lot and he says its a city where you feel there is room for everything, a lot of acceptance and many different people and nationalities centered there.
To me that sounds like the best of the things a city can have
:)

Mozilla firefox

My blog looks like crap in Internet explorer. I really didn't know that. Seems like I have costumed it for Mozilla.
I will try to get this fixed as soon as possible.
In the meantime all you IE users should switch to Mozilla anyway, ha ha!
Its a lot better, most bugs are made for IE and there's a number of other good reasons to use Mozilla. (Ask anybody with a clue about computers)

??????

Its around 20 days until I leave for Barcelona and now I`ve started to think about a lot of things.
I have talked with this guy who lives a little outside Oslo in a treehouse.
I mean, seriously - he lives in a treehouse.
I WANNA LIVE IN A TREEHOUSE!!!!!
And they are a whole bunch of people living there, in different houses in the forest.
And I am going to a huuuuge city without forests at all. (This worries me)
What am I doing?
Should I just skip Barcelona and go and live in the treehouse-place?????
This was a great picture, ha ha ha!
