MY OWN FLAT, GODDAMMIT !
YES ! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes and YES ! I've finally, F I N A L L Y, managed to get my own flat in Gothenburg. For you who don't know the living situation in the big cities of Sweden, it is a mission impossible. But I've finally made it. Move in date 1st of may, so obviously it will be empty for a bit but didnt want to gamble and risk not getting a flat. But this is all mine, for myself, as long as I'm at uni in Gothenburg. I'm so happy I want to cry. I've moved 10 times in the last 2 years, so for me not having to move for a while will be fucking amazing. Sorry for my french but it's unbelievable.
Love you, love you, love you.

Sloppy saturday
Oh, just had a day infront of loads of tv-series yesterday instead of doing uni work. But sometimes your head needs that to be able to really beast what you are suppose to do when the time is right. Today I headed for the library with the swedish comedians Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingson. Good shit. I've written a bit on the essay but it's time to call it a day and work instead.
See you later, cheers, thank you, ta !

New but old iPod
A
s I said, my iPod broke last weekend. It's was fine except for the menu button, that didn't work. Went into Apple store here in Glasgow, and was told I had to book an appointment for examination... I know, it's like taking your iPod to the doctors. But I took it and was told that everything was fine except for the menu button and because of it being a closed product there was nothing they could. I got a couple of days to backup my music through Senuti and to say good bye. Went in yesterday and have to give my baby away so receive a new one. It was hard, I have to tell you. It's been with me for over two years, and it's done me well. I gave it a wee pet and got my new baby to take home. It's now plugged in and I've transferred most of my music. It did give me the opportunity to do a cleaning of my music library and get rid of that music that no one really listens to more than once.
So, my new baby and I are now trying to get to know each other.
XOXO
It's been a while...
Oh, and that sentence makes me think of that song. Can't remember by who, but it reminds me of my teenage years. The last week has been busy. I'm swamped in uni work so I doubt that I'll do anything fun before next weekend when my dear dear Helena is over for a visit. This week has also involved Dino's birthday, the making and eating of hajktarta, as well as a lot of lost keys and a night of too much afterpartying in the flat by other people when trying to sleep. So I've been tired for a bit as well. My iPod broke, so I'm picking up a new one today. And, I twisted my ancle and fell down the stairs in the lecture theatre. Such a good friday... Everyone's away for the weekend so my plan is to beast one of a million essays and finish it. I'll come back with an update on that when I know if I failed or not...
Love you
XOXO
Wet silence
Sorry for the silence, guys. But the week did not start the best way. Were sitting alone in my living room on monday night, talking to Julia and Carro on skype. All of a sudden I here what I thought was the shower. Which was weird because everyone was away. So I went to have a look and when I open door for the bathroom their is a flood of water coming out of the bathroom light. I panic and throw in like on towel before trying to get in touch with the landlord. When the plumbers finally came, a lot of the water had made its way down to the neighbor downstairs. So not only is our roof and floor ruined, her roof as well. Apparently the water tank over our bathroom over flooded because it was rusty, and instead of the over flowing pipe going out the building it was pointing down our bathroom... And because all the electricity lying loose up their we're not allowed to use the electric shower. And as our landlord so nicely put it - 'You guys have a bath don't you?'. So, for now all of us just have to take baths...
Oh, the relaxing feeling of a bath.
XOXO
New York, New York, I'm longing for New York
I want to go now. Now, now, NOW !
This week is New York Fashion week and where ever you turn you hear someone talking about it, in a blog, a magazine, the TV. It makes me want to go back so bad. I'm obsessed with the blog NioTillFem, and off course my fav, Where Did you get that. A while back I discovered the blog Ett annat New York, where a couple in NY is giving you the best tips on non-tourist places. And I've now got a ache in my heart for NYC, I just want to go back and that is soon. I'm thinking late August. Who's with me ? Ten days of just walking around Manhattan, Brooklyn, Williamsburg ? Anyone, please say yes. I need this. We'll rent a flat and be proper New Yorkers for a while, wouldn't that be great ?!
Who's with me ?
XOXO
As comfy as it gets
I'm in love with my new cardigan. I'm going to live in this. From Topshop.
God, my flatmate Dino must have had the worst day in the world. Went up this morning to say good bye to her, she was suppose to go away on a road trip through England for a week, and she was so stressed. Gave her a hug good bye and went back to bed. Got a text from her about 30 minutes later on where she told me she was an hour early for work and had to sit in her car and wait. Then she came back, apparently they sent her home because she hadn't ironed her shirt. Fair enough, so I said good bye to her again when I left for uni, but when I came back four hours later she was sitting in the sofa, looking seriously depressed. This time, she lost her purse with her bank card, her railway card and all, so she couldn't take the train down to her friends in Wales. I would be completely gutted.
So my day was pretty good compared to hers. Bought 19 pairs of knickers, so tired of having to wash all the time because I'm always running out of underwear. So know I'm well prepared.
XOXO
Less is more
I could look like this all day everyday. Hands down for Columbine.
Ain't no sunshine
Emptiness
Last night, with a proper cold luring in the back of my throat I was kind of happy that the weekend was over, and that reality were approaching. This morning, when I woke up in an empty flat, no swedes and no flatmates, a big knot appeared in my stomach. It's been such a good weekend, maybe just a bit too much time spent on shopping. But I guess it's different for my guests, they don't see it the way I do. And I've spent way to much money, so from now on, till tuesday next week it's lentil soups and eating out the freezer. But hey, at least I'm ill so I won't spend any money on tobacco... Mama will be happy.
I've got some plans for this blog of mine. Hopefully you'll see some of them tomorrow already.
Miss you, love you, hate the books...
XOXO
Break ? Break.
So my dear friends. I can't promise I will at any point during the rest of this week give you guys a post. Because when you have guest over you have to entertain. And to be completely honest, it's tirying just to think about it. What should I plan for them ? Two of them has been here before, one hasn't. All I know is there will be a few nights out. So just to say sorry for the lack of posting in advance, I'll get back to you after the weekend of visitors.
Miss the rest of you, it breaks my heart !
XOXO
PS. Saturday fun if you don't fancy a night out: The Stand in Woodlands, if you need a good laugh !
MbMJ
Oh, Marc by Marc Jacobs. You've done it again. Anyone that knows me, know that I'm a sucker for beige and this camel beauty is gorgeous. Anyone feeling generous ? No ? If so, visit Net-a-porter.
Mac n' cheese
These two are arriving tomorrow at 7, and Julia on friday the same time. EXCITED !
Almost posted a pic on my dinner with this post but realized it looked really nasty. Just pasta and a really cheesy sauce. But it was really nice, just what I needed. Just now I've been tidying the flat a bit, yet again done some laundry. Basically preparing for my girls' visit. I'm so excited, been looking forward for this for ages, it's going to be so much fun. But first I'll have a day at work before I go and pick them. But now, my bed is calling...
Love you,
XOXO
