Christmas tree

Hello once again!

Today I went out to find my family's Christmas tree, with my father.. We spend a couple of hours, because we are quite picky when it comes to our choice of tree. Of course the tree has to fit in out living room, but we like a tree that is actually shaped kind of like a triangle, with fine branches, good distance between the branches and good proportions.. It sounds weird, talking about a tree like that.. Anyway; my father and I went to a café and got a cup of cacao when we had picked out a tree, and it was just a really nice way to get to spend some time with my father, a thing I don't get to do very often. We found our tree, and we're sure that we can make an amazing Christmas tree out of it! :-)

This year I'm doing it!

Hi guys!

Sweayyy, it is almost halfway through December - and I still haven't posted one freaking thing, better get started!


This year I have decided to do my very best to be in the best Christmas spirit ever! The last few years I have been fed up with Christmas, how the shops starts waaay too early and how there's just Christmas decorations every-freaking-where in mid-September! I am still fed up with all of those things, but I just decided not to let it get to me, because this year - I want to like Christmas, and be in the most Christmas-y mood I've been since I was 7 years old!

I it (as mentioned) about halfway through December, and I would dare to say that I'm doing pretty good! I haven't worn my Christmas hat (wtf do you actually call that?? Holiday hat? I don't know.. Elf hat? Sigh, I think you know what I'm talking about, so I'll just go on) yet, and honestly I haven't had an occasion to wear it yet - which is odd because last year I actually wore it pretty much.. The Christmas hat isn't a necessity to ensure the Christmas spirit for me, but it is a nice little Christmas-y thing to do!

At home we have a tradition for baking Christmas cookies, three different kinds of them! We all enjoy them in our family - and it is one of my guilty pleasures, I probably eat too many of them, and I do it every year - I sometimes regret those actions, but mostly I am just cold ass when it comes to that, and I just need to try to run it off after Christmas. I have to get just a little bit more fit for week seven, where I'm going on a skiing trip, anyway.

It has taken me some time to get this post done, since I have a lot of stuff  I need to do before the Christmas holidays, including assignments. Buuut, I've pretty much got the Christmas spirit going for me, which is good - and I might not be jumping around with a Christmas hat all the time, but I'm feeling more festive than I've done the last few years, and even through my family is going to take over "my" entire house by Christmas, and this Christmas is going to be held in a weird order, I am looking forward to it!

I feel like my "social gene", when it comes to my family, is withering.. When I was younger one of the best things ever was Christmas with all of my siblings, I didn't see them very much - and they were kind of my heroes back then.. But growing up, I've come to realise how my siblings aren't really that much of heroes, and don't get me wrong - I love my nephews to bits! But imagine a house full of eleven/twelve people, five dogs and two of the people are rather whiney small boys.. It gets to your head eventually.. It is going to be a loooong Christmas.. ;-)

I am, sad I said before, I am excited for this Christmas! Even though I am getting a dental operation the 21st, the house is going to be run over by dogs, babies and people - I am sure that it is still going to be a fantastic Christmas - and I am looking forward to it, and I am still nursing my Christmas spirit! ;-) Merry Christmas to you all, or what event or religion you might be celebrating!

Let the feast begin

Just came across this. Slightly scary, but highly exhilarating that it is actually possible!

Picture time

Since it, where I live, is a grey and gloomy Thursday, I decided to brighten your mornings (it is 08:40AM here), with this lovely little picture. I get mixed reactions when I show people this, everything from small snorts of laughter or grossed out grimaces to people dying from laughter. I admit, I died when I first saw this - it really made my day. I'm a girl - and I enjoy fart jokes, suck it up! ;-)

Time flies

Hi guys!

A couple of days ago I was told some news that really made me think about how time flies. It's good news - no worries, but it just came as quite a shock since there was no way that I had expected this. Okay that might be a little bit of a lie, but I surely didn't see it coming. As some of you might know, I have three older siblings, who are all a lot older than me. I'm 17, my sister is 28, my "younger" older brother is turning 32 this year, and my other brother is 37.. Yeah, I am kind of a late-comer.

Let's start out with my sister. She lives about 200km away, with her boyfriend and their child Liam. Liam is turning one this weekend, and that was something that just hit me here the other day. It really doesn't feel like it has been an entire year since I held that little boy for the first time. I even started doubting it as I wrote this, but the picture prove it.. Damn this is weird! Since my sister and her boyfriend live so far away, we don't really see Liam that often, which might also be a reason why it doesn't feel like it has been an entire year.

The younger older brother, Peter, and his girlfriend is expecting a baby in January. It feels like yesterday I was told that she was pregnant, and it doesn't like like months ago we were told that it is a girl. Now that Pernille went on maternity leave last weekend, it feels like time has just went by, by a blink of an eye - I can't comprehend how time just sort of.. Disappeared. No doubt, I am so fucking excited for this little baby-girl to join our family, but it just scares me how fast time is going!

Now, last but not least..  My oldest brother just got engaged. I.. honestly don't really know how react to this? I am happy for him and his fiancée - but I am baffled that they actually got engaged! My oldest brother and his girlfriend has been trough A LOT of shit, and they're both diagnosed with a sort of depression and/or ADD. I do believe that they are very good for each other, and I really do hope that this lasts.

The reason why this event got me thinking about the time, is that I honestly thought that this would happen a couple of years in the future.. And then I realised that this kind of is the future; my sister has had a child for a year, one of my brothers are expecting a child in two months - and the last one is getting married. No idea when.. but he is. And then I am here, the little late-comer suddenly feeling old, because all of my younger friends are starting the same school as me, going to the same parties and getting drunk - and having the sort of "pre-grown up"-problems that we all dislike. My God, time is fucking flying, and I have a hard time keeping up - but I sure do enjoy it!

Cheers mates! ;-)

Shameless promoting: The gaming blog

Hi guys!

One of very good friends Marcel as recently (as in yesterday or something) started his own blog! And being the fucking massive nerd (yay!) he is, his blog will be about gaming stuff, don't judge me for calling it "stuff" - I just like playing the games and laugh at the bugs, I'm not that much into it, as Marcel is. It is not a bad thing, that's not what I am saying, at all! ;-)

As mentioned, the blog has just been started, so so fat there's only one post, but I have faith that he will get his ass together, and get writing - and I trust that he will write something good.

The blog: I'm game - are you?

Being a new blogger is never easy, you might not know what to write, how to write it - as for layout, tone of words and generally how you do your blog so you might get some views, and yet still have a personalized, unique blog that you like yourself. You might think that I am over-dramatizing, this whole blogging deal, but if you're running a personal blog it is actually a bit hard.

I hope Marcel is going to love blogging, just as much as I do - I think his passions for the gaming world will clearly shine through, and help him make his blog awesome! He is a really down-to-earth-guy, and we share a similar sense of humour, and I wouldn't be surprised if he pops in a few jokes, even if they're terrible! ;-) Marcel if you read this, you know I am joking.. Though you do crack some terrible jokes and puns.. Still not as bad as mine though - you've got to practise hard to get to my level!

This has been a shameless promotion of Marcel and his blog, and if you care for gaming I will recommend this blog, as I am sure that this blog will be great!

Where is my voice?

Hi guys!

Sooo.. I have had a sore throat for some time now, and I have had a bit of fever for the last few days. This have given me a few problems, some in form of clothing crisis (with the fever it is impossible to predicts if I will be warm or cold as fuck, so I have more or less just been dressing in jeans, a small top and a giant jumper, sweater or something like it..), other in where I have just been in pure agony - not being able to do a single shit about my situation because I have been close to "overdosing" (nothing serious, calm your tits guys) on the painkillers and throat-lozenges. I have had an abnormally high consumption of tea and coffee lately, anything to sooth my throat.

Yesterday, at my school, there was this café in the evening. Some of my friends were going, and I had planned to do as well - but then my throat decided to hurt like fuck with the slightest sound or littlest amount of food I tried to swallow. So I was planning on stating home, and I was just heading out for my running program (I am very fucking stubborn about this program, I dropped it once, it is not going to happen again! So I headed out despite feeling like crap.. maybe a bad idea), when two of my friends stated bombarding me with texts, telling me to move my ass to the school and be with them instead of my warm, cosy and lovely bed.. It probably was a really bad idea, but I honestly don't think that I would've gotten better, just by laying in bed.

I went to the café after some persuasion by my friends, after my run of course, and I had a really nice time with my friends. And lets just say the playing twister in skinny-jeans... Well it's fucking hard and almost impossible, I dare to say! It was, to say the least, very fun to watch some of the boys having a hard time bending their bodies in the ways required to stay in the game. Ah, well - I got home, took a few more lozenges and headed to bed a little late (there was a film on that I watched before going to bed, woops).

Today.. I woke up feeling like utter shit. Just just a sore throat, but a throat that felt like it was on fucking fire just by breathing, nausea and a feeling that my body temperature has risen to about 47 degrees Celsius - I basically felt like I was dying by melting.. What a fucking great idea it was to go to the café while my body was fighting an oncoming cold (or whatever this shit is..?), but I had a better time than I would've had if I stayed home in my bed. So yeah - worth it maybe.

But now.. My voice is gone.. Not just low or hoarse.. It's actually gone. Gone, dead, pow I have no idea what happened. I was this morning, and for the morning assembly I was perfectly able to speak, well it was a bit hoarse (BUT MY VOICE WAS STILL THERE!), but then during the free block thing, my voice just somehow magically disappeared.. I was laughing at something someone said, and then when I tried to say something again, my voice just failed.. No sound, whatsoever could be drawn from me, and it was freaking annoying! I have often been in silence as a protest or to prove that I was able to do so (I am normally a very talking person), but actually loosing the ability to communicate for while was horrible!

After a while I was able to make small noises and speak in a very low and squeaky voice, but if I tried talking "normally" it would hurt my throat like fucking fuck. I am aware of the fact that that phrase isn't particularly creative, but I think you get my drift. I was horrible having German, we had to discuss rules for Criminal films or series.. And me having a almost destroyed voice.. Well it was a different class.. I tried contributing with something constructive to the talks.. But I ended up just sitting and listening to the others talking. It was honestly quite boring, and I started writing this.

Finishing up this freaking novel I've written here, to go make some of my homework - hope my throat gets better, and I'll talk to you guys later, peace!
