what a beautiful day.. not..

I guess the weather was beautiful but i missed that, so for me it was a long day at work, followed by trying on a dress i love that doesnt fit and came home to have gotten the invitation to my granddads funeral in the mail.. And i thought i was done crying, but that put me right back to that place.. oh well.. gonna try to not think about that now, do my laundry and pack for germany.. first time ever without seeing my Opa.. :/

Can you miss something you never had?

i don't know this feeling just gets over me every now and then, that something is missing, and it makes me sad. But weird enough i don't know what it is that is missing in my life.. I don't know, gonna go to bed now and reflect on what it is that is missing, if i come up with what it is i will let you know..
Maybe it's just that i'm listening to lyfe jennings that makes me a bit depressed.. maybe should listen to something else..

Longest day of my life..

Just got back home from, what must have been the longest day of my life.. working 9-8 today, and its been one of those weird slow days.. The beginning was alright, was in the stock room doing stuff, but from lunch on i was out in the store, and after the lunch rush it was absolutely dead, and imagine, this time it wasn't just till 6 but till 8.. Oh my god, i just wanted to bang my head against a wall.. But the day ended eventually and some customers came in as usually like right before we closed, i was just happy though that anyone came in.. I must have looked like a pathetic loser overly happy greeting all the people that just looked like they might walk in to the store.. Well whatever.. Hope tomorrow will be busier..
Now i'm off to take a bath, just need to call my dad before, coz it's his 58th bday, and i doubt he understands how to open messages and therefore doesn't know i sent him text telling him to come on skype.. What can i say, technology is hard for some people who are stuck in the past century.. ( love u dad =) )
OMG how could i possibly be this tired.. just wanna go n sleep, might just take a shower, would take too much energy to actually take a bath, and i would probably fall asleep anyways..
And i don't have any free minutes on my phone till the 10th.. how will i survive 12 days without being on the phone every night till i fall asleep.. Fuck this, my phone bill is high enough already :( Don't know how i can waste 700 minutes in 2 weeks, but i guess it isn't that hard, because thats what i do all the time.. Wonder why it's so damn hard to not be on the phone all day long, what did people used to do all day long, i guess talk to the people around them instead of being on the phone all the time.. But it's hard if ur close people are so far away.. Wish some people would live a bit closer and i could see them a bit more often.. The worst thing is that after a while when you never see people, you spend less and less time talking to each other, and after a while you never speak. Friendships die out so easily it's unbelievable.. I know, because it happens all the time. I don't know how many times i've had friends who i thought i'de be friends with forever, and shortly after you hardly speak to them no more. And than there are people who even though you only fight and always are mad at each other, they will stay in your life for real.. Guess the way to see if a friendship is for real is to see the length of time you've been friends. Which doesn't look good for me, coz i don't have a lot of close people who i stay friends with.. This makes me sound like a bitch Lol But people just lose contact, there is no need to force friendships..
OMG here i'm trying to be all deep and all, am just being super tired and hungry.. so i'm off to shower and then bed time :) gonna have an early one tonight..
peace out

the girls are back :)

Jojo and Nelly are back :) been with nelly most of the day in town to find clothes for the funeral, what are you meant to wear on a funeral? I don't really know? I just know that nothing I own is acceptable...
Anyways found some pictures from the other day, spend all day with Jay, it was so nice weather.. Probably the last nice day for this year.. :(
Oh my god, u can really tell how pale i am, i dont think i have ever been this pale ever.. but not really been out in the sun this summer... but you can really tell how pale i am compared to jay..
I wish i would tan like him, but i guess not everyone can have that skin tone :(
Sitting and watching Hancock at the moment, guess i should pack, but i don't really know what to pack, and i still have two days, probably will pack the same day as my flight goes, aint very good at preparing these sort of things..

New day..

Gonna be a busy time from now on, gonna be working a lot, and try to be more social again. This has been taking me down long enough, and i just have two weeks left with Nelly in Southampton, and Jojo is coming down for the week as well.. Need to get my act together, life is too short to waste it being tired and ill all the time..

R.I.P Opa..

Today has been long.. Can't believe my granddad died last night.. i know we should all have been prepared, as the doctors have been telling us for months now that he will die. But when my mum called me last night i was so chocked didn't know what to do.. So i did what i do best, took a valium and a sleeping pill and went to bed, after a long night's sleep it is easier to live with stuff..
It's weird to know i will never have coffee with him again, or go to our favorite greek restaurant or have ice cream at the italian place in the neighbourhood.. Never go to museums again.. He was always so proud of our german roots and trying to show us that it aint a bad thing to be german.. Never again will we go to café reichards again for our favorite cakes and coffee..
It will be weird to go home to germany and not be able to see him, not be able to go for a walk with grandmas dog to see him, and try to convince him that feeding a heavily overweight dog aint the way to go..
I will miss all his long stories about people i never met, stories that he could describe in such detail like no one else ever could..
I will miss how he used to always joke around with everyone and flirt with all waitresses..
I will miss how even though he had such strickt views and ideas about everything, always made an exception for me. How he always got me coke even though he hated how americanized society was, and boycotted american products.. He always had coke at his for me.. And he used to always go to the kiosk next door to get me liquorice when i came.
Or how he even though being so strickt with other people, gave me a key to his house so i could sleep there after a night out partying so i wouldn't have to walk all the way from the tube to my grandmas..
It is weird, i have never had anyone i ever been close to, or loved die before.. I guess the only thing you can do is put up and pretend like nothing happened until this feeling goes away..
I wish i could be with my family now more than ever before, wish i could be there for my mum, can't even imagine how hard this must be on her..
Wish i could be there for my brother, who found out that Opa died on the same day as his sons first birthday.
Something that should have been such a happy day for the whole family.. But at least now there is no more pain and suffering for you.
Rest in peace Opa, you will be greatly missed by many but especially your family.

Just a thought..

Now that i have a swedish key board again i could start writing in swedish here again.. But that won't happen, looks like more english people read this than swedish, so looks like i need to keep writing in english..
Just spoke to my mum, she was meant to come for 2 days mid october, but looks like that won't happen.. Feels a bit stupid to pay that much money just to come see me for two days.. So i told her i could wait a bit longer till i see her..  And the rest of the family i don't even know the next time I will see anyone from my family again the next time.. Not for christmas for sure, gonna stay here and work.. Maybe next year..
Chilling in front of the tv at the moment, should really be writing my covering letter, but don't really know what they are meant to look like.. So gonna pop by university on my way to work and grab an example one, so i can have a look through it and write it tonight.. I really don't wanna make any mistakes in this as it could decide whether i get a job or not.. I hate that it is so difficult to find a job, i mean i've studied, i have a degree, i have loads of experience, but it probably still will be so hard to get a job :(
So instead of working on my covering letter i'm watching veronica mars.. seriously could a tv series be more boring.. very doubtful.. but i guess i'm just to scared to fail in finding a job to actually work on finding one.. :(

Pancake thursday? or back to mussels thursday?

Don't know which one i want more.. well i do know i want mussels, but it's stupid to have mussels thursday if i live in a house full of people that don't eat shellfish :( So might change mussels thursday to pancake thursday.. better? Just have to check if everyone in the house likes pancakes :)

Raining :)

I know i know people don't usually like rain, but i really don't mind it.. I mean don't get me wrong i am an absolut sun lover, as soon as the sun comes out i will be outside.. But rain can be so cozy, sitting inside watching old movies you have seen a hundred times, eating soup, going to starbucks is so much better in rainy weather.. The only weather i really don't like is snow and coldness, have had enough of that in my life :(
Been having some really nice days this week, an old friend has come to town to visit for the couple of days which i'm not working.. It's weird how you sometimes don't see someone in ages, but than when you see each other it's like you never stopped being friends, makes me wish i would work harder on a lot of friendships, and maybe skip some others.. But whatever I guess I make choices of who my friends are along the way..
Here is a pic from last thursday which I just found coz Jojo put it on Facebook :)
Love Jojo's hair, and Nelly looks soooo drunk Lol but still no comment on me, don't know why i am laying down there :p

Worst ever blogger.. i know..

Been really sucky lately at updating this.. but even though uni finished i'm still so busy with stuff.. Gonna work on my CV now, and then send it to my area manager.. Really wanna get a job in Karen Millen Head-office.. That would be so amazing!! Here come some pictures from the KM meeting the other night..

:(

Just realised something.. Jojo left, Nelly is going.. This is gonna be shitty... What am i gonna do without them? Weird how my life is so focused on my friends.. Obviously i have more people here, but it will be really empty without them. But it's a good thing, i will have loads of time to focus on work.. Change can be good, even if it first might not look like it. When friends leave, it gives the opportunity to find new friends, to focus on other things.. That is just what i will have to do now.. Gonna miss my girls though.. :s

Wohhooooo

My hard drive works again, i have no clue why it stopped working, I changed the usb cable and the electric cable and now it works again, this is such a relief,  i really don't wanna go through another hard drive breaking.. :(
I just ran panicking threw the house looking for my camera which i thought i had lost last night, but i somehow in my drunken stage put it in the medicine box.. ehrm, yea i don't know why i put it there, but i guess drunken people don't make sense all the time..?
Here are some pics from last night :)
Me and my new house mate Mandie.. We had such a good night last night, really happy all the people i live with seem to be so nice :)
Yes one can def see which one was the most drunk :p

Up n about..

Why do people feel the need to message me before 8 am?? Do i look like i'm going to be awake at that time if i don't have to work or study?! Seriously people, get a hold of yourselves, no one will die if i can sleep till 9.. :( Hungry now, but have to wait for Jojo n Jay to go get coffee.. :( Just got a message he is basically here, so peace out people

HA that didnt happen..

haha yesterday out did not happen, once again.. Lol went to bed, and try to ignore all the calls i got from people who were out n waiting for me.. i know, i'm sorry people, i was too tired.. At midnight, Niko came to force me out, lol i had just gone to bed, in my pj's, fast asleep.. Had to get up and entertain him.. which, ehrm didn't happen, sorry babe.. I just fell right back asleep when he came, so he had to entertain himself.. Sorry for that.. But after 7 pm, i'm in sleepy mood n not for any use for anyone :p
Been busy all day today, went to town to have coffee with a friend, than we went toys'r'us to find a bday present for my lil nephew, who will be one year the 25th of september.. Can't believe he is already one year, doesn't feel like that, but i guess that's coz i've hardly ever seen him.. :( Now just need to find a present for my dad, and I can send it all off to Sweden..
The rest of the day i been helping Jojo moving her stuff, n cooking for my new housemates.. Made Chicken Calcutta.. My favorite disch.. Yummyy.. Wish it would taste as good as when my mummy makes it, well one day it will..!! :)
Baking a Kladdkaka (sticky chocolate cake for all the non-swedes here..) perfect goodnight food :)

Out tonight..

Been out all day sorting things out for people.. had a quick dinner in mcdonalds, n now back home watching football with the guys n trying to dry a bit after getting absolutely soaked in the rain.. Will have to start getting ready soon though, to meet the others, it's jojos goodbye party or whatever u wanna call it tonight.. So i'm pretty sure everyone will get absolutely wasted.. which will be well fun for someone like me who doesnt drink.. wohooo good times ahead..

Vote..

By the way, all u Swedes out there, don't forget to vote!!!! only a couple of days left, n now it's more important than ever before to do this..!!!

Back for real..

2Been really naughty with updating my blog.. gonna be better now though, as uni is over and i now only have work to worry about.. And obviously to get a propper job.. but that will probably take years to find one.. looks like no-one is finding a job.. sort of makes me nervous, but don't have a choice but to try to find a job.. :s
Here come some pics from the past couple of days..
me and the girls in ocean village :)
Nelly n Jojo big ass smiling!! :p
me running around like a weirdo on the buggery bridge.. yes we have a bridge called buggery bridge in southampton.. for those who don't know what that means.. this bridge has been named because the rumour has it that guys have been buggered here.. which means they basically been raped, which i know isn't funny, but the amount of times i walked here in short skirts in the middle of the night to pick the girls up, n always thinking i was safe coz i'm a girl, now that funny how naive i used to be when i just moved to soton.. i guess every year a bit of this naivety disappears...  Not the same person anymore than i was when i came here, but probably still would walk these weird places to pick people up so they don't have to walk alone.. yea yea i know it aint safe, whatever..

Back to life..

I'm officially back to life, handed in the last bits of my dissertation today, and been back at work already too.. Tomorrow gonna be working at going out :) So happy this is finally done, so now i can only hope that i did alright in my dissertation, but won't worry about that now..
Can't believe i didn't go out last night.. Everyone came out, n i fell asleep.. guess i needed it, but still feel so bad, coz some people came to celebrate with me, n i never showed up.. Feel like a bitch, but can't do anything about it now.. Will hopefully make it tomorrow when everyone is going again.. If not.. sorry guys :p

Back to life..

Pretty much done, need to burn an interview n hand the dissertation in tomorrow.. :) still got to clean the whole flat tomorrow.. but feeling like celebration is needed!! Gonna jump in the shower n chill n get ready..
haha just got scared by my own computer, was making weird noises when i was typing.. but it was just a song that went on :p

Finally!

The day has finally come in which i will hand in my dissertation.. just gonna check if my tutor is there for some final advice, and then i will do it.. feels good, but sort of a bit scared that i might have missed out something important.. n i always suck at analysing things, so hope my analysis aint too bad.. which it might be :(
After i have to go to my old place and help Jojo clean everything up, n then we can go out n celebrate that we are done with uni!!!! Forever hopefully.. i'm done with this, there won't be any further studies for my part, thats for sure!!

today song..

Been listening to fugees music all day studying.. By fugees i mean, their music including any Nas, Lauryn
n Hill n Wyclef.. Love all of them both together n alone..
todays song is an oldy..
Nas & Lauryn Hill -  If i rulled the World
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2vv_lmeP8E

See the light in the tunnel..

Can't believe i'm almost done, just need to write my conclusion today and sort the appendices out, and the whole dissertation is finished.. Can't believe it's actually pretty much done. That i managed to do this even though i been ill is a wonder.. Actually a lil bit proud :)

LOVE THIS!!

Thanks Maks to for introducing me to this song.. listening this non stop love it.. just such a feel good song in a weird way..
Cee Lo Green - Fuck You!

back to working..

Went to church with the french, can't say it often enough but i really love going.. makes me so calm.. i think everyone should go.. Not telling people to go to a catholic church, but it's nice to have some peaceful place to go to.. I guess people have different places which mean something to them.. Had tea after with one of my new house mates n the french with the weirdest movie ever on in the background.. Something with robert downey jr n jamie foxx as some sort of paranoide or mentally ill musician.. didn't really get it, i guess i'm not deep enough.. Lol na, i need to stop offending myself.. i am deep, sometimes.. lol, i do read intelligent books n stuff.. just when it comes to movies, i like light n funny more than anything else.. well back to my studies now, wanna finish this tonight.. n the guys said they might pop in later as well.. i don't understand why people don't understand that i have work i need to do.. People just come by all the time.. ok i get it, everyone is moving soon, n i won't see people anymore.. but this dissertation is more important :(

OMG

can't believe how bored i am.. analysis is going well.. but my neck is starting to hurt, coz i'm sitting in an impossible position on my bed with my computer on my knees, n my head leaning on my pillows/wall studying.. Will defo need a massage today.. Or i will walk around with my head tilling to one side for the next couple of days.. Anyways Happy Jo is coming in a bit and will hopefully brighten up my day :)

still writing..

Just want it to be 7 now so i can go to church.. I know i'm a weirdo.. fully aware of it.. Just found n old picture of me getting ready to go out..
Still in my old room, i look so mad.. I somehow always look either mad or sad.. I get why people get confused over me.. I need to start smiling more.. Guess it would look weird though if i was smiling like a freakshow whilst getting ready to go out.. Oh by the way, yea i use this to avoid studying, i need to get a hobby.. Wanna start horse riding again, been missing it so much lately it's weird..
OMG i really look like i wanna kill someone on this pic.. lol

Sunday funday..

Been shitty weather all morning but now it looks like its brightening up a bit.. Sun is coming out, maybe should have waited a bit this morning, but instead i walked in the rain to my old flat to get the toaster... need my toasted bread in the morning.. just having my coffee now, and even though i slept like a baby, i'm still so tired.. Gonna be staying at home all day and hopefully finish my stupid dissertation, really getting tired of it.. i just wanna be done with it now..

Elbowed in the face..

Did i mention that the guys kidnapped me n Jojo from mede house yesterday! Not joking, after dinner, they literally forced us out of the house carrying us out over their shoulders, Maks took Jojo n Niko carried me out knocking my head against pretty much every wall which was anywhere close to us. They wanted us to walk to the other side of town to go meet Happy Jo (Johannes got the name coz he is so happy all the time, which just makes other people around him happy too.. love being around him..). Even though we were not happy at all first, specially coz i wasn't allowed to bring my phone, or a cardigan and it was cold in just sweats n a top.. It was worth seeing Happy Jo, it was even worth maks telling my old neighbours i forgot to take my anti depressants, and when he offered mine and Jojo's services when a homeless guy asked us to buy the big issue.. Funny jokes ha, or not?! Not bad enough to joke with a homeless guy, but to offer our "services" instead of giving him money was slightly embarrassing.. I probably would have gotten really mad, if the homeless guy hadn't been laughing himself, telling maks he has a girlfriend..
A minute later Niko elbowed me in the face so my lip started bleeding.. Guess I had an eventful first day at the new place yesterday..
Really need to get back to my work now..
By the way i opened a pack of half coated chocolate cookies, the ones i'm always eating, and the smell is almost stronger than the sweaty smell of the woman next to me.. Only thing that might help more would be room spray.. Might pop in to tescos on my lunch break n get some.. Might offend her though?!

First night at the new house..

Was alright, couldn't sleep and was on the phone most of the night it felt like coz some people were stuck n had to stay awake.. Lol ok maybe not most of the night coz i kept falling asleep, but i gave my best, and i think i should get some credit for it.. Besides that, night was alright, bed is pretty comfy, and no nightmares in the first night, good sign isnt it? Someone told me that what you dream the first night in a new place will come true, and even though i believe in all sorts of weird things, last nights dreams were just a bit too weird to come true.. at least i hope so..
Am sitting in the library at the moment, as usual in one of the study carrels, and as usual i have the luck to be stuck between a woman (first thought it was a man) which i doubt has showered in the past year, because the smell is extreme, and a man who keeps burping.. How do i do this? How do i always manage to be surrounded by weirdos.. I mean i know i a pretty big weirdo myself, and maybe i attract them i don't know.. Just at the moment i wish i was somewhere else.. Have to escape to the bathroom every 10 minutes to breath coz it smells so badly here..
Need to keep writing now though because i have to sort some stuff out in the new house later, need to get new lamp for the bathroom, and some other essentials.. OMG he just Burped again, not even them silent ones, this man is burping so loud i believe they must hear him on the second floor.. I wonder if some people don't learn manners at home.. Lol just remembered my dear beloved Nells who is known for burping pretty much all the time, how lady-like.. Lol love u for making me laugh so many times because of ur manners Nells :) Gonna miss her when she moves back to Sweden, and don't even know how i will survive without Jojo.. Still i got the boyz i guess.. It will be a sad time without them two.. Might have to consider getting some new girlfriends..? or ehrm maybe not, might be enough with the guys.. Can use them as girlfriends, they already used to it, talking girl stuff and all :) LOVE U BOYZ!! :)

Still moving day..

Moved pretty much everything in my room.. new room is a lot better, which feels good.. The guys seem pretty nice so far too.. Whilst moving the cab driver tried to rip us off, wanted us to pay 35 pounds to get form my old house which is literally 5 minutes away to the new house... ehrm no, so the day started with a "discussion" between maks n a cab driver, and me trying to give him an address which was totally wrong, coz i somehow didnt remember the right address.. Lol very typically me..
Spend the rest of the day unpacking and with Happy-Jo who is here from Germany at the moment, he brought loads of german sweets which he will give me tomorrow :) LOVE U for that Joe!!
Just waiting for Ellies now, just gonna have some tea, and then bed time.. I know its early, but been moving all day and it really takes energy..
peace out..

Moving day has come..

Been up since before 7.. couldn't sleep n been having the worst dreams ever.. weird dreams.. Guess its the stress or whatever, i mean i usually have nightmares, but they are usually always the same, now i'm getting these sort of weird dreams.. Well whatever, don't have the time really to be on here at the moment, gonna finish packing my bed stuff, n than run to the library quickly to change my booking for my room from the morning to the afternoon..

last night in mede house..

Can't believe i am moving tomorrow morning, pretty much all my stuff is packed.. sitting in Jojos room at the moment, depressed.. really don't wanna move. Love it here.. Might just because i generally hate moving... Guess i've done it too many times. But i just have a bad feeling about this, maybe coz i for the first time move in with people i don't know, or because it's all guys. Hope it will turn out alright..
Anyways, have had an awful day, could be coz i have been packing mostly, but also been to the hairdresser, who absolutely ruined my hair.. for all the swedish people reading this.. I have a "hockey frilla" now.. Not even joking.. Whilst she was cutting my hair, Jojo told me it looked like one, so it's not just me, and when the hair dresser asked if i liked it i was just so scared she would cut more off, i told her i loved it, and ran out.. Only fun thing that happened was that the guy behind the till at the hairdressers told Jojo that she should do something about her curls..haha she got like the nicest hair ever.. But the guy told her he could work miracles with her hair, i think he was trying to hit on her, but he was more offending her hair, which was pretty funny, coz that girl got some attitude, and u don't wanna mess with her :p
Now i'm gonna try to write a lil more on my analysis, coz tomorrow gonna be a waste on moving :( can't believe this.. No year has ever passed so quickly, loved this year, i learned who my true friends are, i learned who will be there in hard times.. (L) u girlz n boyz. All the late night boring ass movie watching with Tam which worked better than any sleeping pill to put me asleep, the sheesha nights with the boyz, the listening to old school music nights.. All the randomness with Jojo and the boyz, all the late night calls and door knocks from hungry people.. Gonna miss it all.. But hopefully even though Jojo n Nelly gonna be gone, i still have the boyz.. N hopefully the new housemates gonna turn out as good as all the ones i have had in the past. Because i think i've been the luckiest person ever with all my previous housemates.. Touch wood..
Sitting on Jojos bed at the moment, listening to old school music n trying to study, but just really down coz i don't want this year to be finished.. Feels so sad.. :(
Now i'm off to write some more, and then time for beddy..
peace out
x

Todays song..

The Script - We cry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScJezHweiYc
Is todays song, it was on, on the radio in the doctors waiting room.. made me want to listen to the radio more often, i don't know which radio channel it was.. but only good songs came on..

:)

Looks like i might have found myself somewhere to live.. I guess it was about time, rent is ok, and the guys i will live with seem pretty nice too.. And the house is almost on swedish standard, at least what it looks like.. So now i just need to sign n i can move in on friday.. hopefully everything will go just fine, and i won't experience what it feels like to be homeless.. Kind of nervous though, never lived with only guys, even though i get along better with guys than with girls, this will be on a whole new level.. But i guess at some point this was bound to happen..
