I need a secretary
Or a secret hiding place
:P

Escapism?

I cant sleep
I want to escape "normality".... the little rat race of forced life called society created through human habit and survival........where is the life in that - the freedom - the happiness?
I am actually turning 30 soon, and I don't feel a need to get a little nice house and a dog and a husband and pop out a load of screaming kids at all....its a relief to see that age hasn't magically transformed me into a creature that only longs for safety and not experiences
Oh, maybe a lot of people can find happiness in it, but I seem to be born without that gene, in the same way that I am unable to be religious or unable to not follow my inner voice when it tells me to....even though sometimes I wish I didn't, and that I learned to belong more to the human race and payed my bills in time.
Wouldn't my life be easier if I believed in a God? If I didn't fear not being alive anymore? Surely, yes, but I cant program myself to believe.
Although, to think about it - there are so many things that seem to be planted into us. Have you ever considered your opinions - taken a good look at them and found out if they are really yours or a product of the influence of the society of today? Somehow I have always been extremely on the alert for brainwash and feared it likewise....I dunno why, but I have a strong desire for everything to be genuinely me and find my own reasons, not "theirs", I know it is fucked up in some ways but it has its good uses.
Now for instance everybody in Norway think of the US politics as hypocritical moneywhores, but just a few years ago everybody objected when I spoke against "big brother`s" wars.....cause "they were just helping countries that were ruled by dictatorships, and where would these countries be without their help" - holy mama!
Pft!
So sometimes, even though I wish I was better at "belonging" to society and can often understand my escapism well, he he!"
I wish to escape and I know for sure that some day, when I have payed off the loan and stripped my life of the false bounds of things and shit like that, then you will find me in some forest or a bloody cave if that be it, or just on a weird little island, living in my palmtreehut eating coconuts
you think I am nuts?
you might be right?
Wanna join me?

I AM...

Back from Gotland

How was it? I will soon post some more pictures

Vacation...

I am going away for a week (in two hours)

Guess where I am going...............
(I am such a geek, muhahaha!)

Harry Potter

Harry Potter was just published in Norway
I have been a huuuge fan
from the early start,
even before it came here

I made this theory reading "The Half blood prince" that either Sirius or Dumbledor will come back! One or both of them will come back somehow in some way and help, I am sure!

And Snape is good, and the "murder" of Dumbledore was plotted by Snape and Dumbledore himself....I am sooo sure about it.......but we will see, I am only at page 200 now :P
I have complicated, twisted evidence found in the other books!
I am going to read like a little maniac now to see if I am right!

29.07.07: Update:
Okay, now I am done with the book and I have serious HP abstinence. I think I am suffering from post-Harry Potter depression and I need a fix right away!!! But I liked the ending!! :)
Those who have not read it yet - DON'T read the comments!

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."

a good selection of artists

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.

My other work on DeviantArt

What do you think?
Kitchy, blasphemous, nasty or nice?
(Please click on to view full size)

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.

Photgraphy

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
