What's your New Year's resolution for 2010?

Have none.

I never keep them anyway.

If you could kiss anyone under the mistletoe, who would it be?

Oh I know very well who...but I'm not telling you guys >_<

What's the worst book you've ever read?

The Long Ships

Frans Gunnar Bengtsson

"The long ships" by Frans. G Bengtsson (called "Röde Orm" in Swedish).

I hated it. Absolutely hated it. The entire time I read it (and it's quite a long book if you don't like it) I was bored out of my mind. This book is quite famous but that didn't matter one bit, I still couldn't appreciate it.

And what was worst is that it's a story that could be so good, but in my opinion never quite get there. Such things annoy me more than anything (almost) when it comes to books. It's a waste of a potentially great story. 

....Sorry if someone that reads this post love this book, but this is my opinion.

Have a great day! (^ _ ^) Matane! 

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

Okay so technically we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Sweden (it's a pity if you ask me, it seems to be a really nice tradition), but I figured that I could still list a few things I have thankful for...just because you don't celebrate it that doesn't mean you can't think about it.
So here I go. I am thankful for:

• My family and relatives - They may be loud and messy and over all not 100% politically correct all the time, but I love them all unconditionally and I feel so happy that I get to have them in my life. My family (including relatives) aren't that big, so therefore I have been able to properly get to know them all (and have them all over for birthdays and things). Sure I have some thing more in common with some of them, but they all mean so much to me. ♥
• My friends - Sometimes I wonder what I have done to deserve such great people. Really. I'm a selfish little minx that talk to much and to loud and I'm completely rubbish at listening to other people's problems...and still there are people that's there for me no matter what, always unhderstanding and nice when I do strange things. I'm such a social person that I wouldn't be able to be completely on my own, and so these people mean more to me than I could ever put into words. And on this note I have to give special thanks to my very best friend Michaela. There is no one that's there for me like she is, and I hope she knows how much I appriciate her for it.  
• You guys - Honestly. I never imagined that I would feel so in touch with people that I have actually never met but only knows over the Internet, but I do. And you're all so good to me, so sweet and caring and understanding when I comes to all my strangeness (and there is a lot of that last one, we all know that). Your comments really warm my heart, always know that.
• Myself - Ha ha, that sounds terribly narcissistic, I am aware of that, but for one I am quite narcissistic and also I think that everyone should be thanful for themselves. There is a lot I don't like (duh! as if you haven't noticed that by now), but over all I am thankful that I am me. I'm smart, socialble, healthy and on good days I think I'm quite pretty too...It was hard for me to write those words, because I suck at thinking good things about myself, but I'm working at the self-esteem thing and so I'm going to be happier about what I have trying not to think about what I "lack" so much.

Okay so there are a lot more things I'm greatful for, but they're smaller and if I started typing them too this list would go on forever (and we all know that I could do that, every single post that's suppose to be short turns out a million times longer than originally intended)...so I think this'll have to do for now.

Ki o tsukete mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!

 What’s the first thing you do when you log on to your computer every day?

Check my mail.
I'm addicted to it, I check it at least five times a day...
...or else I feel like I might be missing something.

 

What's the longest you've ever waited in line?

Oh I don't know...half an hour perhaps.
To be honest I don't really think about the specific number of minutes that passed while I wait in line. Well I suppose most people don't, but for different reasons...

Bored

(As a lot of us - I would imagine) I don't see the minutes because I am to busy being bored. Five minutes is five minutes to long.

Ha ha...I'm terribly impatient I know.

...it's a problem - sometimes - but I can live with it ^_^

I'm used to it. Mostly it's the waiting in line things that makes me really annoyed these days.

Oh well...that's enough for now, I have to get on with my day.

Do you believe that honesty is the best policy?

Hell yeah I do.
You shouldn't bs people.

But, I also believe that sometimes perhaps it's better to bend the truth a little not to hurt someone.
For example:
If a friend asked me "Do I look fat in this?" I would never ever say yes (even if I, against all odds, thought so).

But if it doesn't hurt anyone, then yeah...honesty is the best policy.

Which do you prefer? City life or country living?

City life for sure.
It's nice being on the country side for like a day or two, after that I get relentlessly bored. I like it when there is life and movement and lots of people around me. Chaos is my element, I thrive under messy circumstances. Cities are chaotic, but in a good way, I feel suffocated when there's no life around except the occasional squirrel (^ o ^)...

In-the-city

Granted we don't really have a lot of big cities in Sweden. I mean our capital city Stockholm (with surrounding areas) has only 2 million inhabitants (out of like 10 millions in all of Sweden)...

...but still there's a huge difference between the smaller cities and the biggest ones. So I think I can still safely say that I prefer city life.

There is culture in cities, and loads of different people to look at (yeah, I like to just look at people, I don't care how strange that sounds) and room for a variety of characters. You're allowed to stand out in a city, in the country people would look funny at you if you were too different.

Ah...I dream of living in Paris and Tokyo, London and New York...to see the different cultures that mix in these places and become a better person from the experience.

If you were going to write a book, what would you write about?

I am writing a book, even though I don't really like saying it like that (I prefer to say that I'm writing a story) because it sounds like I think I'm so good that it can be called a book. See in my world only real writers can be said to be writing books, but then again that might also be the typical Swedish "don't think you're anything special" mentality that's talking.

But anyway, I'm getting of track.
What I was going to say is that what I would write/am writing about is:
Just life. Life with all of it's dark and shitty moments as well as the happy and bright ones. I want to write about love and betrayal, sorrows and how to overcome them with help of the people around you and how we walk through the mist and come out on the other side a better person.
And I want to do it in a way people can relate to. There is honestly no part of me that wants to write the complicated kind of books that only a few can understand. I want to write for the people, I am aware of how silly it sounds but that doesn't change the fact that it's true. If I can make a single person feel something when reading what I wrote, that's all I could ever wish for.

Ah...that's all I think. For now at least.
