Hi everybody
For some reason I cannot read my mail these days, gmail seems to be down
Anyway, I dont have access to internet often, as I am visiting my family in the north of Norway
Just wanted to say to everybody I know, that I am having a great time and that I miss you all and hope you are well
Many kisses

Tu decides

A photography taken of a wall I pass every day on my way to school
"...Free love, crazy love,
love in an encounter, brute love,
love for a lifetime or love for a minute?
You decide."

The old days

I had to send somebody
a scan of my passport today,
and I thought it was a
little funny looking at
the old photo.

I am actually just 16
in this photo.

Don't I look small
and innocent, ha ha!

Maybe even a little tortured.
I don't think
I was a big fan of getting
my photo taken at that time.
I was really shy and introvert.

You can see it in the plagued look, ha ha!

Bad girl again...

I am supposed to read for my exam, but I am hooked on this!

Quotes...

...from "Benny & Joon (1993)"

Sam: You don't like raisins?
Joon: Not really.
Sam: Why?
Joon: They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes.

Sam: How sick is she?
Benny: Oh, she's plenty sick.
Sam: Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

Life...

Life is sometimes difficult, there are moments when you stop up and ask yourself;

Do I really know who I am? Where I am? where I am going? And will I ever know the answer to any of these questions?
Maybe the comfort is that these are questions we all have to ask at some point, and that makes us all less alone in a way, and more connected.
Cause these questions can sometimes make me feel so, so, so small and alone, and everything is so big, and I don't know why I am here and what I am doing and where I should turn next. And the tiny little everyday trouble seem so laughable. And my possibilities so endless in a way, that it is nearly scary.

Kitchy, blasphemous, nasty or nice?

Clouds are soft when trolls look upon the sky
and grass whispers when they
slowly walk barefoot into the darkness of the woods

Mrs Klink and the wire people
I am going to use one of these photos as a school work for portraits.
Which do you think I should use?
Very glad for help

Mrs Klink dreaming on a cloud
Sleeping and dreaming about better days,
Mrs Klink do not know what faith awaits for her















The wire people take over Mrs Klink
This photo is based on a story me and my roommate (The girl in the photo)
came up with about wire people. Maybe I will tell more about it later






















Mrs Klink became a wire person
After they took her over she became one of them





















Mrs Klink is a wire queen now
And nothing can save her

I made the following text yesterday after smoking a joint:
Tell me if you can make any sense out of it...

It is not here, I say. It is to the left, on the other side of it. You cannot really see it, the way you are looking now. Close your eyes. You have been seeing in a wrong way, do you understand that now? The difference is the background of it all. He was peacful because peace was non excsitant. And what you undersand in the end is stat you start backwards every time, and when you understand you blank it all out and start over. Thats why ever time you wake up in your mind, you also go blank, you are wise and you are new. You are are a white sheet again, and this is knowing a lot. The reason is that you know nothing at all, and that si the wisest thing of all.

A woman who....

Tractor monster















Digital image taken of a tractor.
I placed a bowl on it to make "eyes" with candle lights in them. The "teeth" is made of masking tape. In the background I made smoke with a burning stick, to capture the smoke I used flash.
The image is taken in the night

17.Mai

Gratulerer med dagen alle Nordmenn der ute!
Today is the national day of Norway,
where we celebrate that we finally got our own constitution in 1814.
This is the day where we all get soaky drunk, over eat ice cream and hamburgers and pass out in the park from alcohol poisoning - just as described by our forefathers in the Constitution.
Others just stuff as much ice cream they can down their children's throats and pray that the day will be over soon. but the most important tradition of all for the Norwegians on this day is the parade. Here in Barcelona my Norwegian friend Mari and I will of course follow this up with our own personalized version.
The parade in Oslo starts early in the morning with the children. Walking from their school thought the entire centre and up to the royal castle. There they greet the royal family. They are as always standing on the porch waving to the people until they get wrist infections, simultaneously suffering from the serious disease I like to call "superfake smiling". The adults that are not scared of being smeared in with icecream often joins in the parade as well.

If you haven't been hugged for a while and need some serious crammy body contact, this is the day to visit Oslo. Extra exercise is also a bonus. It is absolutely impossible to get a train, tram or bus, so no matter where you live - you must count on your feet to take you there. (For reason - see picture)
I have heard a lot of Norwegians claim that people all over the world are jealous at our parade and how much we "love our national day" in Norway. (Especially the swedes they say.)

So....Mari and I will go around in the streets as a two woman parade - wave our flags and shout "Hurra" and pretend the trees are the royal family and wave our Norwegian flags at them.
I am sure everybody will understand what we are doing, and maybe even join in

Or not
Big smiles and waves with the flag

Tomorrow is a special day

Anybody who knows why????

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams.
For if dreams go,
Life is a barren field
Covered with snow.
