Awe

This little heart breaker, was abandoned by her mother only a few days ago. Luckily a human couple touched by the Christmas Spirit found her and took er with them home. As you can see she found that these humans, so humongous as they may be, they had nuts. Our little squirl was in nut-heaven^^ Unlike the squirl in Ice Age, let us speer a thought for his likes. Merry Christmas and remember to watch NRK tonight a quarter to nine, the countess and the butter, never Christamas without them.

Snow^^

Marriage may be the closest thing to Heaven or Hell any of us will know on this earth - Edwin Louis Cole

This has never been more true then for my parents it seems, especially the hell part. The source of this misery is non other then my mom's naivety. She's amongst those who never think before she speaks, and she can't stand critic. Especially not when it comes to her relationship to vine... Can't she just take one glass and then stick to water? urk never mind this


Look outside your window now! It's finally falling white flakes from the heavens. The gods have finally found it fit to bless us with snow^^ Guess that means it will become Christmas this year as well. Put all your troubles aside.. Now only one thing missing, and if I'm not mistaken we're one day over due: My dear friend is stranded in France one day more:( She'll be home tomorrow so I hope to see her then^^ Now when she comes home tomorrow, we'll be skating again and all our troubles will be forgotten^^ Enjoy the snow folks^^




As an extra treat I'd like to remind all the astronomers out there that the night between 4 am and 5am Christmas eve, Mars will journey behind the moon. A sight worthy of seeing
Marry Christmas, just two days left^^

end or not

Today I watched a show on National Geographic Channel about how some Christian fanatics believe that the disasters and the wars of this century are indications to warn us that the end is near. The apocalypse has begun. Maybe, maybe not all a question of beliefs however when they say "those who believe shall be raised from hell on earth to the heavens, whilst the sinners shall be left behind to face their dark faiths". Why only those who believe? Just because you believe does not mean you're any better than the rest. I can't help but to think of the quote of the philosopher Galen Sawson:

It's an insult to God to believe in God.... So my suspicion is that the people he really loves best now in the twentieth century are probably the atheists and agnostics, because they're the only ones who have ever really taken him seriously.

Believe all you want, but unless you try to make this place a better place I don't really see why you should be allowed to escape the end. You don't have to set out to save the world, just be friendly and helpful. Make it a bit easier for the person next to you, some times a smile or a "Hello, how are you?" can do the trick.
Anyway, whether the end is near or not, today's the 16th December. Which means 8 days till Christmas eve and only 6 days till my friend comes home^^ It's the end of the weekend and what have I done? Not much, I started my homework but I never finished - I've been throwing up:S - I'm sick. *Urk* Oh Well school tomorrow, have to finish up my presentation, and the rest of my homework... I've gotten glasses but the headche's still there. Same as my fever...At least it's only a few days left till the holidays^^.

Yay...yeah...

Now, headache, fever, stomachache and other aches has never been welcomed during Christmas or actually not at any time. Nonetheless, they do come, just as uninvited guest sometimes do. Well in my case it's more unfortunate then for others. For one, I regrettably must agree to put a way my vegetarian "era". And I may miss out on most of Christmas :( It's the bad news I've been waiting for but I never thought it would come. Well their not exactly bad news, could be worse, but they're unfortunate enough. As it seem I'll be gone for a couple of days - Yes, Steive..I should've stayed home, but I didn't it's hard to undo that - I'm almost done with the gifts to those I care about. And I'm not going to miss a close friend's arrival, only eight days now^^ and *urk* only ten days left till Christmas :s so little time, so much to do :S

Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer - Jean de La Fontaine

Well enough whining, I found a couple of Christmas gifts for some friends^^ I hope they'll like it^^ enjoy hugies for all

A little guidance

Since Christmas is approaching fast I thought perhaps I should let you guys out there in on a little secret about how the female mind works. It's not all evil or incomprehensible. When a girl hold her tongue, millions of things are running through her mind. When a girl is not arguing, she is thinking deeply. When she looks at you with eyes full of questions, she wonders how much longer you will stay. If she answers " I'm fine " after a few seconds or if she avoid the question, she is far from fine. If she stares at you, she is wondering why you are lying. When a girl lays on your chest, she is wishing for you to be hers forever. When she wants to see you everyday, she wishes to be pampered.

If you ever hear the words " I love you " come across her lips, she means it. And it should not be taken lightly. If you hear her say " I miss you ", no one in this world can miss you more than that.


To the girls out there: Life only comes around once make sure you spend it with the right person. Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, calls you back when you hang up on him. Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who, kisses your forehead. He wish to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats. Who holds your hand in front of his friends. Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!! " or gives you the look that says he'll protect you because he cares. If you doubt whether or not he's the one, ask your selves: Does he make me feel as if the worries of the world is far beyond your reach?

Right back at you

Good news seldom comes alone..Isn't that how the saying goes? Although there's no mention of what comes along with the good, welcomed news. From today it's only twelve more days till a dear friend, who has taken upon herself the long journey home, will arrive in what should have been this snow clothed country far up north. My math exam went... I passed... Although I panicked and was disappointed when I received it earlier today, taken the circumstances into consideration(as a friend reminded me) it doesn't really matter whether I passed or not. It shows strength or just pure stupidity that I am not too far behind with school work. Some has tried to convince me that I should retake IB, however I can't be bothered - Yes, I am stubborn. Which will be proven the next - whatever period of time - until I am either healthy enough to disregard my doctor's advice or ill enough to realise I have to follow his advice or else :/ Then again Christmas is coming up and somehow I believe that some doofus will try and force or fool me into taking the advice... Right now I'm waiting for my dad to be done at work so that I can be on my way to that place again:( However I'll keep intact my roots, perhaps change a few leafs on the way but not my principles...

The tenth today... So lets see how many days left till this crazy period is over/just begun(who knows), yes fourteen days.Oh sweet agony... Today's quotes:

"One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes" - Andrew Wyeth & "The art of love is largely the art of persistence" - Albert Ellis

Winter, here to stay?

Guess what I saw today when I woke?
It was snowing^^ Finally winter. The best time of the year. Nobody who taunts me for being to white - too colourless. Not my fault btw, either I become red as a tomato or I can stay white as the snow. Think I'd rather stay white, the red does not suit me and it arrive with certain tenderness.
So here I am sitting on my little terrace rapped in blankets, with a cup tea, and my laptop in my lap. I most certainly love the cold. Strange how I can't feel it now, but earlier this winter or autumn as it were I was shivering as every wimp out there. Guess I'm regaining my strength. My heritage has at last returned^^ I am after all of the cold north, snow and ice is in my blood. Then again I have less of that blood, however, it doesn't matter the cold air is fielding my lungs. I feel more alive now then in ages... Fifteen days left or perhaps some would count thirteen.

To create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage. Love is an energy which exists of itself. It is its own value. Search for it, and you may find it.

Calender!!!

I sat down to think. I haven't really been content lately, and I stopped to think why. What's wrong? Besides from the obvious? Well frankly that's a lot. Lots I wish I hadn't lost and a lot I wish I never gained. Summing up and I reached a conclusion that I am in red concerning what I don't have. Amongst those a functional family, a good relationship to my parents or the feeling of belonging to a family(Sad to say it's lost). Though there's my dad's mother, she's fabulous. She's raised me and played the part my mother should've since my birth. I owe her so much and only the Goods know how much I care for her. But her husband had a regular saying he used to repeat when I and my brother felt bad whilst growing up, concerning the relationship to our parents.

Friends are the family you chose yourself.

I have a lot of friends, very good and close friends. So I guess I have something resembling a family. But it's sort of sad that I don't have that with my own family, or that's to say with my mother. Nonetheless great friends! So what's wrong then? There's no snow;( I WANT SNOW!! That's one. It's Christmas ..soon...And I have NO calender O.o Hm..What to do about that. It has always been the calender that gave me the Christmas joy and spirit. Can't have the conventional calender with chocolate or candy so something else. Ah! I know although it's a bit late to start but never mind that. From to day and up till the 24th December I'll post a post as a slot in my calender. Let the count down begin^^ Today's the 8th so that means it's 16 days left or 14 days till a dear friend comes home^^

December Strength

From early December: I was at that place again where you have nothing else to do then to think, unless you're sleeping. Once in the beginning of this, I was placed in a room with a 7 years old girl. She had severe lung cancer. That wasn't all she had, and the diagnosis the doctors gave her was not good. She would most likely die before Christmas. It didn't look as if she would make it since her body would not except any donor found so far. However she and her family was not devastated. They saw hope where others would have given in to disappear. When everyone had gone and only she and I remained, she told me that she didn't fare death. She merely saw it as a possible road. She said she loved her family and that she knew they loved her back, and that they'd do everything they could for her. And if she died despite that, at least she would know they'd tried. I was amassed. She was so strong, and I, several years older then her, was scared and worrying about how this would affect those I held dearest and I was longing to experience all that which I had yet to experience. She taught me how she was so calm. Her strength came from that her family, she said. Well I have never relied on family, but at that time it felt like i had a family. Only a few people as ever meant that much to me that although they weren't my family it felt like they were. She thought me how to be strong about this. Cause even in the worst case scenario, strength is what's decides if you win or not. Even if defeat is the scenario you can still go out in victory. Wonder what became of this wise girl. Is these days her last, or did they find her cure? Light a candle for her, lets hope her strength won through. Cheers! This is for you.

Insomnia

Since last Thursday we've been subjects to the mock exams:S It's been horrible at times, but surprisingly, the subjects I thought I'd do poorest in seemed to be the ones I am less worried about. Quite frankly I liked the mock exams. Vary strange but I managed to prove that I can write far more in an hour then I could in five. I am less worried about the future tests to come now. But during the exams an old friend came visiting. Insomnia she's called. Strange how she comes creeping back after such along time. I guess old friends are hard to shake. Well I just hope the exams went respectfully OK.

Insomnia can become a form of contemplation. You just lie there, inert, helpless, alone, in the dark, and let yourself be crushed by the inscrutable tyranny of time - Thomas Merton
