Holy crap and I do excuse my language, it is bloody Friday again!! Time flies by sooooo fast I’m not sure I’m keeping up with it. Since I’m an absolute horrible blogger nowadays, I guess I should sum up my week. Monday me and Steven had our first date, this being a trip to the cinema in Dudley, where we watched an animation film by Tim Burton called 9. Was a nice film that was, yes we did watch it, that is what you go to the cinema for. After the film we took the bus back to his place where his mum made us tea.

Tuesday was alright at uni, my teacher asked me something, and even tho I totally freaked out over the fact I had to say something in class, took me about half a minute to speak, I did spit out some words with a smaller sense of intelligence in the end. Maybe me rather proud. Then I headed over to the library to read a god-dammed book I don’t understand, giving up on that task and being sent home by a concerned boyfriend over MSN, to get something to eat. Apparently cookies aren’t good enough to last you a full day. Then I spent the rest of the day being rather moody and soppy, cause I didn’t understand the book, and the thought of presentations closing in stressing me out. Took that out on my poor boyfriend, we had a little honest convo, still over MSN, then he came over to mine to stay the night. Waking up in his arms are seriously the best thing I know.

Wednesday me and Steven had to get up early, because his morning lecture were at 10. We were late… We met up with him mummy at her work, before heading over to Yates’s for breakfast. After that it was back to uni, where my clever boy had a bit of a breakthrough making my website, you should have seen the joy on his face. So adorable words can’t even describe it. Around 3 I had a doctors appointment, went alright then me and Ida headed into town where we ended up in Pizza Hut for tea. Once again back to the library after that, where I was sat resizing images while waiting for Steven to come back after his tea. When he did we had a little kissy before he went off to his lecture, when he came back again we had another little kissy before he had to go, quiznight at the pub with his mates. When I got back home around 9ish in the evening I surprised Ida with a card and a little pressie, and we ate some nice cheesecake.

Yesterday I met up with Magda in the library to do some epic uniwork (yeah right), rather farmville and waving to Steven on Skype that is. Two days in a row at Pizza Hut, cause Magda decided that we were going there for lunch, and when Magda says so, that’s the way it is hehe. We shared a cider, enough to get the two of us tipsy, so we were pretty much giggling throughout the lecture we had. Then another afternoon spent at the library, with my boyfriend on Skype it’s not so bad. Him being very nice making my website all pretty. Finally home me and Ida ordered Chinese and watch a film with Leida, one of our housemates.

Today I got a lecture at 2, should be an okay one, actually looking forwards to it. If only Steven could wake up and get his ass on MSN so we could do some last minute changes to my website, that would be very nice!

If you read all that, you must be very bored, my week hasn’t really been James Bond.

Hope you all had a nice halloween!

We have a sketchbook due on Friday, a sketchbook I haven’t really done much for.  I have Wednesdays off at Uni, perfect to catch up on some uniwork, so I tend to spend my Wednesdays at the Uni library. Problem. Steven is in at Uni on Wednesday, which means he can come see me. So my productive day did not really end up very productive, and I still have a sketchbook to do… Tomorrow will be a productive day. I hope. It kinda have to be, or else I’m screwed. Yes, tomorrow will be productive. Steven isn’t in at Uni on thursdays, tho he said he would come see me briefly before or after he has been to the work center. Briefly means I should have time to be productive both before and after I see him. I like Steven, he’s my boyfriend ^^

I really can’t wait for this weekend to come, it is going to be so much fun. On Friday I’m going to Stevens after my lecture, we’re then going out to celebrate Coxie’s birthday which should be fun. Saturday is Halloween, and I really can’t wait to get all dressed up in my costume. I’m trying my hardest to convince Steven to dress up as well, crossing my fingers he will. Or else I’ll dress him up!

At midnight Me, Ida and Leida surprised Maggie by knocking on the door to her room, and as she opened, we were stood there with a cake, sparkling wine and gifts, singing the birthday song. She got so surprised and so happy she almost started crying. It was proper cute. Yeah, things are alright in Dunstall Road at the moment.

Starting this round is Karina, and she had quite a few questions;

What kind of kid and teenager were you? As a kid I had a lot of temper. Really stubborn and wanted things my way or no way at all. Got angry over things real quickly, but the anger never lasted very long, and a few minutes later I could be the happiest little girl again. Yet I was very kind and not much of a rebel really, came home in time for dinner, went to bed when my parents asked me to etc. As a teenager the temper cooled down a bit, still had it stored inside me, but I needed more to trigger it now. Still a good girl, never really up to much rebellious stuff, always respecting my parents. I think I wasn’t half bad actually!

What kind of posters was hanging on your wall when you were about 16? This was early period of loving McFly, so my room was covered in all the posters of McFly I could find.

From what side do you think you look best? My right side, ’cause that’s just right.

Do you sometimes try to teach Steven Norwegian? Oh yes, and I must say he’s picking up on it rather quickly. He knows the names of my parents and my siblings, and he also knows how to say I like you and thanks in Norwegian.

What do you really want to get for Christmas? A wide-angle lens for my Camera, just because it is pretty darn awesome pretty much.

3 items that would really please you to have in your hands right now? Steven, tho he might not be an item, my beloved teddy that I forgot at home after summer and the new style black collection from MAC.

What’s your favorite color? Right now it’s yellow. I change it from time to time, but always seems to come back to yellow.

What’s your favorite way of getting from A to B? I love to fly, the feeling you get in your stomach just as the plane take off or is about to land is soooo awesome, tho the time in between is pretty boring..

For how long have you been blogging? Oh my, I seriously have no idea! My first entry on this blog was on the 12th of October 2008, which means it is just over a year old, but I had another blog before that on blogspot, so I dunno really.

The next 5 questions comes from the beautiful Merethe;

What kind of camera have you got? I have a Canon Eos 400D that my mummy and daddy gave me a few summers ago.

What’s it like studying in England? I swear moving here is the best thing I have ever done, have not regretted it once. At first it was a bit weird how everything was in English, was kinda worried I wouldn’t be able to understand everything, but getting used to it it really isn’t a problem at all.

What is your favorite thing about your blog? I like having a place where I can write pretty much whatever is on my mind, also the notion of keeping people I care about updated on what is going on in my life when living so far away most of them.

When’s your birthday? January 27th, so it’s not that far away now until I turn 21, which is a major thing here in England. Gonna be epic!

What is your natural hair color?

There's a reason I color my hair

Helene asked me these two;

What are you most pleased with with yourself?

My teeth

If you had to choose the picture you are most pleased with, which one would that be? I choose to believe you mean in the sense of photographs and not where I look the best, difficult to choose, but I really like this one;

Sandra came back with a great question;

What sort of latesomdyr would you want to have? It would have to be a latesomflodhest (pretendtobehippo), ever since I was a tiny little girl, hippos have been my favorite animal, the pretend/latesom kinds or hippos that is, not the real deal, they are dangerous!

Even tho she knows most things about me, Ida also had some questions;

What could you not survive a day without? (You can not answer lip balm or Steven); Before I had read the whole thing I was like “that’s easy, lip balm! but no… then I thought Steven, but once again.. nope.. I’m therefor gonna be that geeky and say food.

Who inspires you the most in your every day life? A concrete answer to this question would be impossible, because there is so many people out there who inspires me, in different ways.

If you didn’t live in England and were studying foto, what do you think you would be doing now? I would most likely study something else not too far away from home, possibly Trondheim. I am so glad I’m here tho, and really wouldn’t change it for the world. If I didn’t know you (Ida) I wouldn’t have been brave enough to actually fulfill my dream and go abroad to study, which means I would’ve missed out some amazing times, never met all the amazing people I now call my friends and my boyfriend. I guess this kinda answers the question above as well.

Top 3 memories shortly described?

1. Being on stage with McFly, eating pizza while watching them perform.
2. First trip to England, everything so new and fascinating, making me certain I wanted to move there (here) someday. Front on the B-stage at Wembley, seeing all the London attractions etc.
3. Partying with rockstars, epic times

Only 3? Darn I just took 3 of the top of my head now, I got so many amazing memories, that choosing the top ones are simply impossible, I have a life where complaining should not be allowed atm. Top 3 memories could easily be replaced with 3 other memories just as good. Halloween last year was good, Halloween this year will be better Oh my, I’m sooooo looking forwards to that now! I’m rambling, what was the question? Oh right. Well, I’ll keep those for now.

Are you wearing socks? If so, what kind of socks? No, in fact I am not wearing socks at the moment!

The last ones comes from the pretty Kayso, she’s got one of the best blogs I know, check her out.

When did you begin with photography, and why did you decide on studying abroad? I haven’t been doing photography that long, just about 2 – 3 years really, and it was all on a hobby basis until I moved here and started my course. So it was a lot to learn, I didn’t know half of what they were on about. I have always wanted to study and/or live abroad, especially in England. So when Ida moved here, the thought of moving that far away wasn’t that scary anymore and therefor I applied, got accepted and moved. Never regretted it since.

What kind of SLR would you recommend (me) people to buy? This depends on what you want with the camera. If you are just a hobby photographer, with no further meanings with your photography than on a personal level, a cheaper SLR is more than enough. A Canon Eos 1000D for example doesn’t cost heaven and hell, and is more than good enough. If you plan on selling your photography and make your way as a photographer, you would most likely pay a bit more to get those extra megapixels, tho you don’t really need the newest, most flashing camera out there, there are professional photographers who actually use Eos 400D and even the 1000D, you get along way knowing how to photograph what, and with the amount of lenses out there as well, you can take some brilliant photos. As you can tell, I’m a Canon girl, never tried Nikon, so not gonna tell you Canon is better or what not.

What’s the dearest thing you owe? I would be lost without my Macbook.

Introducing my new glasses!

I got more questions than I thought I would, that made me jolly happy to be honest! So thanks guys. Also because of that I have decided to split the answers into two, just because if it gets tooooo long, no one really bothers reading the whole shabang. This means you can still come with questions until I have posted part 2. So get those Qs in now!

First up is some kickin’ questions from the lovely Sandra!

What’s your favorite piece of clothing? Starting off with a question that’s almost impossible to answer, as I have so much to choose from. Yes, you see my money is not strictly for gas and electricity with a mix of food from time to time, no here we mainly focus our attention towards city center and the shops. So how to choose, I guess picking the piece I wear the most would be kinda safe to say is among my favorites at least.

Introducing the white skinny jeans from New Look!

How many times a day do you HAVE to check your Facebook or blog? I’m like the biggest Facebook whore I swear, I don’t log off Facebook ever, updating my status every other hour, checking out what people are doing all day long really. Facebook isn’t just an online community, it’s a life style. So it is safe to say a few times a day at least! Haha. Same goes for my blog really, I love my blog, and I have to check it quite a few times a day, if only just to make sure it still looks pretty ^^

If you could be anywhere in the whole wide world right now, where would you be? I know this will sound saucy and be a bit of a cliche, but seriously the place I would want to be right now is at my boyfriends house with him.

Favorite food? Oh my, I’m not picky when it comes to food at all, so all the choices! Me and Ida do make a wicked home made pizza, as well as enchiladas and every kind of pasta possible really. Also love Swedish meatballs and mash. Oh and the pies from Urban Pies.. No, I can’t choose!

Then the ball is passed over to the ever so adorable Astrid Katrine, who had these questions for me;

How did you and your boyfriend meet each other? Funny story that. Our first meeting was actually almost a year ago now, last Halloween to be exact. Me and Ida, along with our friends Coral and Sarah had been out to Cheekeys, celebrating Halloween the best we could, all of us being in a rather good mood (read drunk), when we walked out of the Civic at closing time. We were gonna walk home to our house, when we noticed a guy dressed up as Tigger a bit further away, and in all our drunkeness, of course we ran over to him to look at him. While standing there, a bunch of guys came walking past and we just stopped them, talking amongst us about how fit some of the guys were, Steven being one of them. We then somehow invited the guys back to our place for an after party, that totally made our old housemate flip, but that’s a different story for another time. After that we kinda kept in touch through Facebook and met them from time to time out drinking. It is only after we came back after summer we really got to know them better, but yeah, that’s how we met.

What’s your best childhood memory? This really got me thinking back, and I must admit I have had a pretty good life with a pretty great family, so there is enough of memories to choose from. I love thinking back to all the summers spent in a caravan in Sweden, and the christmases gathering the family in the living room while me, my sister and brother was eagerly handing out pressies. But yeah, I think the best childhood memory I have must be when Odd-Levi (my baby brother) was born. I was such a proud girl then, and so pleased with it being a boy. I had said to my parents that I didn’t want another sister, so they better give me a baby brother, which they did.

What’s the biggest amount of money you have spent on a piece of clothing? I don’t tend to buy the most expensive things, I’d rather go for the cheaper option and get two! Haha. If I should try and guess, it would be about £100 maybe, not much more than that anyway.

My sister also had some questions to ask her little sister;

What’s the best thing about your big sister? First of all, epic question there Monica, thanks! The best thing about her I would have to say is that she’s very much alike me as a person, so we get along really great. Having a big sister means that no matter what happens, I will always have someone there who I know through thick and thin is gonna be there for me and back me up, who is gonna stand by my side and who won’t ever let me down. It’s like an extra best friend really, only blood related.

List 5 things you are looking forwards to?

1. Seeing my boyfriend again

2. Getting my new glasses tomorrow, pictures to come!

3. Spending the weekend with Steven and his family

4. Halloween celebration

5. Christmas, seeing my family and friends again

What’s the best thing about having a boyfriend? Being able to say to everyone I meet “I got a boyfriend!” You would think that’s the best part right, but no. I don’t know what the best part is really, ’cause it is all pretty great to be honest. Especially when it comes to my boyfriend, because he’s pretty epic, and wouldn’t want to change him for anything. I just love having someone there for me who is willing to beat the crap out of my teachers if they aren’t nice to me.

I was thinking about doing something I haven’t done before on my blog. It’s nothing original as it has been done several times before me, on some very epic blogs. Even tho my blog isn’t as popular and epic and known as many of those who has done this before me, I still wanna give it a go. Don’t worry, I am not expecting loads and loads of response, as I know I won’t get that, but for all I care this could be a more personal and intimate version of it. So yeah, it is time for a question and answer round. You ask me questions, whatever you might wonder. It can be about me, my opinion on something or just whatever you might be wondering. I shall then try and answer as well as I can. There is no need to ask me in English, Norwegian is fine if you prefer that. Swedish sure, and Danish as well. If you go on in German I might start to struggle, and my French isn’t much better.

So what do you want to know?

At the writing moment I am in bed, macbook on my lap, missing my boyfriend. I tend to miss him a lot, like whenever I’m not around him really. Guess it is safe to say I really like the bloke eh? Sundays aren’t my favorite day of the week as it tends to be one of the days where I don’t really talk to him. Him being busy, me should be busy. I can’t help wishing I was with him, he’s the most amazing guy I know. And he smells nice ^^

♥

Yesterday right I went to his house for the first time, him leaving me sat on the bus a few stops too far, but he said he was really sorry for doing that, and how can I be angry with him when he pulls a face like this;

Awww

Meeting his parents wasn’t really all that nerve-wracking as I thought it would be, and his mum was really fuzzing around trying to make me feel welcome. She was very cute, lovely people, I hope they liked me too! Steven said they did, so let’s take his word for it.

Today me and Ida went to see The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, wasn’t really sure what to expect, but it still wasn’t anything like I thought it would be. Kinda weird actually, but I liked it. We then went to Nandos for dinner. And now I am still sat in my bed about to finish writing a blog entry, still missing my gorgeous boyfriend and sighing over the fact that she indeed have to get some uni work done..

I woke up this morning feeling rather worried as I had a very bad dream during the night, involving my boyfriend dying. It wasn’t funny to say the least, and it just gave me an icky feeling of something being wrong.  After a while I had to text him and actually ask him if he were okay. Which clearly he was, it was just my mind playing games with me. It is a horrible feeling tho, thinking someone you really care about might be hurt or worse.

Me and Ida went by Specsavers, as the two of us had an eye test booked for today. First up was moi, and I got to hear that my eyes were pretty darn healthy and all that, which was good, and that in the two years since my last test, my sight had not become much worse, yay. I then picked out two pair of new specs, as it’s like 2 for the price of 1, ended up with two designer pairs from Osiris. Will go back next friday to pick them up, can’t wait ^^

Tonight me, Ida and possibly Leida (who is Plaza Dunstall’s 4th and newest habitant) are going to Cheekeys, gonna be weird going there not bumping into Steven and his mates, cause he’s not out tonight. Bleh. But it’s gonna be a good night out anyway, dancing and singing. Oh, and alcohol of course.

Just have to make sure I’m not too shabby tomorrow as I have plans…… I’m going to my boyfriend’s house. I’ll meet his mum. I hope she’ll like me.

Have a splendid weekend!
