Or really over 30.000 even, because I had to get a new visitors counter when the last one hit 10.000 (because I managed to get one that only had 4 digits). There's a lot of blogs out there that has higher counts than that, heck there's a lot of blogs out there thas has higher counts than that a day, but for me...it's a a high number. I mean it's 30 thousand hits (!), 30 thousand individual humans (or sorts of, some of you come back of course) that klick on my blog to read my thoughts about life, love, school, music, movies and other random-ness.
When I started blogging (quite a few) years back, I never thought that so much people would be interested in what's happening in my life. I've never really thought about myself as an interesting person. Not boring perhaps, I'm much to strange to be boring, but not really anything special enough to read about. My life is the one of an ordinairy teenager (well not a teenager anymore, but it was when I started), nothing I say or do is remotely special compared to some people that I know (or know of). Sure I consider myself to be farely apt at writing, but I never figured that I was good enough to make people understand my feelings just by writing them down. By some wonderful luck (or talent, I don't know what to call it) I am able to though, and I am so grateful for that. For being able to share with all of you the events that unfold in my life...at the moment and in the past.
A lot has happened during the course of "the time of 30.000 visitors". I mean maybe it doesn't seem like a lot for some of you, but for me - who has always had a failry quiet "good girl" kind of life - it is.
I got drunk for the first time. Ha ha I know, I really am that innocent (correction: I was that innocent). It was on the 3rd of april this year...20 years old I got drunk for the first time. I'd had alcohol before, on my graduation and some other times, but never been drunk drunk. Don't know if it's something to "celebrate" or not, but it was a really great night. That night I realized that alcohol is fun (in resonable quantities of course, and - for me - only on the weekends and special occasions). For a good part of my life I'd been scared of acohol, thinking that it's scary because it makes people think less and loose control. I'm such a big control freak, has always been, but that night I learned that it's okay to let go every once in a while...and I think that was good for me.
Speaking of things that was good for me...That same night I kissed a guy for the first time. Well actually I sort of made out with a guy for the first time too. Ha ha...whoops! Stuff like that is known to happen, as someone once said (about another subject, but it's a useful sentence ne?), and I don't regret it at all...Or I should say I didn't regret it back then. I still don't of course, it's just I don't think about it anymore because it was a long time ago. The person that kissed me wasn't one I had a relationship with, he was just a classmate (I know I know, it's something about me and classmates >_<), but that doesn't matter to me. Sure he will always have a special place in my heart (I don't think he knows that though), because I cherish that night as the first one when I felt desired...but I never wanted anything more from him than some affection in that precise moment. Which is what I got...and so I was quite pleased (not so pleased with the aftermath of this whole thing, but that's a terribly long story - that had almost nothing to with the incident itself and all to do with me - that you can find in another post).
Hm...what's happened more..? Oh yeah this:
I picked a direction in my life. Or something like that. Picking a direction sounds a little serious, but I guess you can (sort of) say that it was what I did. My first year at the university I studied history, which I loved and don't regret at all, but it didn't really lead me anywhere. It's not an easy thing making a carreer from that standpoint, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to either..so I had to go in a different direction. Which my mother (who I think just wanted me to stop playing around, even though she didn't say so out loud) was more than happy to help with. And that's how I ended up studying Behavioral Science, which is what I'm going to do until 2012. It feels secure to have a way to travel on, at least for a little while longer, so I'm really thankful to my mother for steering me a little (I need that, I'm to shattered on my own). Will I work as a behavioral scientist when I'm finished? ...Who the hell knows, but at the moment that's not what's important. At the momet I'm just happy doing somehthing with substance.
Oh and this last one (I couldn't think of more, even though I'm sure there are loads) some of you know about. It's a very recent development, and the post that told you was family only, but now I'm saying it here...dunno why I'm a lot more open all off a sudden, but...Well no matter, I suppose I'll be a bit exhibitionistic and just tell you. During this, "the time of 30.000 visitors", I also slept with a guy for the first time. Yup. And here's the kicker: He's a classmate too. And nope, he's not someone I have a relationship with either. Just as the one that got my first kiss this guy was someone that just happened to be there in that moment. There was alcohol in the picture once again, but not a lot, and it's not something I regret either (there's no use in regretting things, you can't take them back anyway). He's a good guy, it's not weird between us (*and we used a condom so it was safe*) and he is cute. And I'm sorry but I'm quite visually oriented so this last thing is important to me. You want them to be nice to look at. I mean honestly, the ones that says that it's only personality that's important are lying. Of course you want a good personality too, but...well you all know what I mean (right?).
So there you go. The innocent girl that started this blog isn't gone, but she sure has changed quite a lot. I would never have thought this about myself when I moved down here last year...I never figured that I was a person capable of this much development (yeah I'm going to call it development instead of change, because that's what I think it is)...but apparently I was. He he...and I love it.
Oyasuminasai mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!
Have you ever tried adding some cinnamon to the coffee beans (well ground beans obviously, it's not like I have time or energy to grind my own coffee beans) when you put it in the brewer?
I saw it on "2 1/2 men" once a while back and decided to try it just to see what it tasted like...
...and it was really good!
Thank you tv! ^_^
It tastes like Christmas (sort of, they say that in "2 1/2 men" too), and I like that. I mean who doesn't like Christmas?
Anyway...I watched "Friends" on tv when I was about to start this post...(Do you understand the subtitles?? Hi hi, they're in Swedish >_<).
I have seen most episodes more than once, because my youngest sister has the dvd boxes of all ten season, but it's still funny.
Moving on...as I got around to start writing, "Friends" ended and I changed the channel to watch "CSI Miami" instead. I like CSI, most crime shows amuse me, but Miami is the one that's the least fun...Horatio and his silly sunglasses is just too much for me.
The coffee is finished now. Meh. That's too bad.
Shouldn't drink more of it anyway though, because it's 8.30 p.m and I will never be able to go to sleep if I add more caffeine to my system. And since I got up at 11.45 or somethink like that I will be up late (probably very late) even without it...
And speaking of, well nothing really, I turned in my paper today. So now all I can do is to cross my fingers and hope that it's good enough. It's a little scary..aaaasa!....or a lot.
But that's a problem for another day.
Ki o tsukete mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!
Before I start writing I must confess: I spend a while staring at the pictures of Jin from my previous post before I was able to get myself together and click "Create". He's just soooo hot, how am I suppose to focus?
Now to what I was going to say...
I finished the book!
248 pages read and it's only 3.21 p.m.
And I have washed and vacuumed and picked up in the apartment too (I feel so happy when it's clean these days, who knew?), so I guess you could say that it's been a pretty productive day ^_^
...one that I will get on with now. I think I will call home (I do that every day, call me needy or whatever but I love talking to my family), and then go for a walk.
Yoi ichinichi o! (^ - ^) Matane!
Konnichiwa mina-san!
I woke up at 3.15 (p.m) today (!!!). Very late I know, but I suppose it's because I was out yesterday and didn't get to bed until 2 (a.m, of course). Still I didn't think I'd sleep for that long though, I usually don't...but well I guess I was just extra sleepy for some reason.
Actually I don't like sleeping for that long, the whole day kind of passes without you getting anything done, but since it's done it's done (there's no point in regretting things, I've told you that that's something I live by right?). It just means that I have to get going with what I was suppose to do today a little later....
And to be honest what I was suppose to do isn't much (so there's really no point to get stressed). I'm going to go for a power-walk (I think), and try to read as much as possible of the book below.
Looks complicated huh? Well it's not really. Not as far as I have gotten anyway (which is not that long, but still), which I am very thankful for (I don't have either the time or the energy to struggle...and most of all I don't like it, as you very must know by now I have zero patience with things that's hard for me).
I'm watching Lipstick Jungle as I'm studying (as you also must know I can't focus at one thing at a time, ha ha, I'm a multi-tasking kind of person).. .I don't really follow the series but it's nice afternoon tv and that's enough for now.
I hope to be this stylish when I'm that "old" (I don't really mean that they're old...not really, just older than me).
Anyways, I'm thinking about joining Twitter, what do you guys think about this?? I'm not really sure why I'm asking you (it's not like it's a big life-chaning desition), but...well I am, so what do you think?
See I'm not sure myself, because I spend a lot of time on the internet already (perhaps I shouldn't add more time to it??) and I hate it when things become shores instead of fun (perhaps I will feel like I have to update often if I join). But on the other hand I like being on the internet, connecting with others and getting to know new people. And I probably like it more than I think of spending to much time on the computer. Hm...what to do?
Ha ha! I'm thinking waaaaay to much, right? I know I am, it's something I do often (try all the time).
Well tell me what you think (okay?) and I'll try to figure it out too. I'll get back to my studying now anyway.

Genki?
It's 11.13 p.m here and I'm watchin Heros (Peter/Milo is sooo hot that I don't know what to do with myself in this episode, I think I wanna marry him a little) and studying during the commercial breaks.
Ha ha! Don't you think that's a very responsible way to study?
I do. And it works for me. Pushing "mute" on the remote and reading like crazy for like 5-7 minutes (we have terribly long commercial break here, it driver me nuts when I don't have to study during them), then watch tv then read some more...and so on and so on. Actually I get a lot done this way.
Sounds like a have a need to rationalizing my own behaviour/laziness? Well perhaps that's it, I don't know. All I know is that this is how I've done if for years and yeah...not to brag by my grades speak for themselves.
Oh commercial break! Time to read some more.
I'm back! (Ha ha, as if you guys would have noticed that I was gone) 13 pages. Not bad huh? I told you that I could get a lot done this way...even if every single person that studies how be read in the most sufficient way (and other such subjects) would argue against it.
^o^ I don't care about those people. You have to do what works for you, ne?

*Yawn* Hi guys!
I know it's really random to photograph your own pyjama pants (and terribly uninspired, white socks), but I found it funny for some reason. Don't ask me why, it was like 7 in the morning (or something like that) when I took this photo, so my brain wasn't yet fully awake. Who schedules a lesson at 8.30 in the morning? That's just not nice at all.
However, in my sleepy state of mind I managed to take these photos of the view outside my window. Considering how tired I was, I'm pretty pleased with them.
The fact that it was sunny but still early in the morning made it very difficult for me to decide what to wear (more so than usual, and it tend to be almost impossible so you understand the trouble I had, ne?).
But that's not what I was going to talk about now. I was going to tell you guys about
"The hunt for soy flour"!
Ha ha, it's not nearly as dramatic as it sounds (and it doesn't even sound that dramatic...hm, well my life is quite calm so I guess it fits). I was going to make this pie that I found in my GI cook-book (isn't that ambitious of me?), and since GI doesn't allow weat flour I (as the "headline" tells you) was going to use soy flour instead.
So I left my house and went the five/ten minutes by bike to ICA (the supermarket)...
They didn't have soy flour.
Just great.
I went to City Gross instead (another supermarket)...
They didn't have soy flour either.
Even better.
Since I didn't have any other choice, I went to the other ICA.
That took like 15 minutes (or something like that).-
They had soy flour!
All and all this little endevour must have taken me about one hour, running/biking around Lund like a crazy person. It wasn't fun at all...Good every day exercise I guess, but not fun. But w/e, now it's done...and the pie turned out quite well I might add.
Ki o tsukete mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!
PS. Sorry if there's spelling misstakes, my spell check doesn't want to work.
Homework for today? Check
Homework for Thursday? Check
Nails painted (must be careful not to mess up the nail-polish now), dishes cleaned and exercise (power-walk) done.
It was a long time since I had everything under control like this he he, usually homework is squeezed in either in the middle of the night or outside the classroom waiting for the lesson to start >_<.
Dunno how long this new found ambition (concerning school that it, nails and such will always be a priority XD) will last for, but I'll "enjoy" it as long as it does.
Ha ha!
(Random I know *smiles*)
It's 11.28 here, so there's even time left before I have to leave for school (that starts at 1 p.m)...which is lucky thought because I want to have lunch before I go (I'll get to hungry to focus if I don't ^o^).
Yoi ichinichi o mina-san! (^ _ ^) Matane!
Gome ne for being delinquent with my blogging guys (well for being me it's being delinquent anyway, since I tend to post about everything big or small, interesting or totally boring), I've been busy with being social.
Hence the photo. It's from this Friday, and in case someone was wondering it's cider in the glass (I had a little warm-up party with myself before meeting my classmates out). I was going to take a picture of the two different stamps I got at the two different clubs I visited on Friday and Saturday (someone once joked that the stamps are there so that people can look at them and know where they were the night before >_<), but it didn't turn out so well...so I didn't.
Anyway. Moving on.
I bought new shoes today, two pairs. YAY!
Did I need new shoes you might ask? Well..erhm I sort of needed the 1st pair, because every girl should own a pair of black pumps (that's just a rule, don't blame me for obeying it ^o^), but well the reason for buying the 2nd was more as followed: a) you got the 2nd pair 50% off b) they are sooooo cute (I have wanted shoes like those for a long time).
I also bought a dress (I know, I'm hopeless shopping when my budget is as limited as it is, but I can't really help it..it'll work out somehow), but the picture didn't come out well so I'll show it to you guys some other time.
As far as school goes (ha ha, wasn't that a great and subtle way to change the subject from money?) everything is pretty much under control. I have two lessons tomorrow, both introductions (first to psychology and then sociology) but no assignment for them.
For the lesson in educational science/pedagogy on Tuesday I'm suppose to read a whole book though (plus one chapter in another), but it's not a long book so I'm not worried about it. It'll get done...eventually. Ha ha, I'm the queen of procrastination, it's lucky that I work the best under pressure.
Well that was all for now I guess.
Now you know what's going on in my life at the moment.
More: I'm listening to Because I'm stupid with SS501 and my knee hurts because I've walked to much on asphalt with bad shoes...but I will continued doing so anyway, Because I'm stubborn. Ha ha ^o^
Ki o tsukete mina-san! (^ - ^) Matane!
As you could see by my previous post I was really nervous about my first day in school (which was today, duh! as if you haven't understood that by now). By the time I entered the waiting hall (or w/e you should call it) outside the classroom we were going to be in I had almost convinced myself that I was going to be alone and bullied for three years (which is the duration of the education).
But then people started to talk to each other, and to me. I was soooo relieved. Everyone seemed to be keen on getting to know each other and make connections, which is great for me because then I don't have to feel overly pushy and annoying if I try to talk to someone.
*Smiles* So now I'm sitting here in my pjs watching NCIS (ha ha, NCIS became The Mentalist as I finished the post, double ha ha, I gave up watching The Mentalist as I finished this post) and I'm feeling good.
Nope, I'm feeling great actually ^_^. I survived the first day and with it it got to meet some really nice people in the process.
I'm so ready for it to start for real now! Last year was wonderful, I don't regret any part of the choice to study history, but it wasn't a whole lot to do during some periods. This time it's for real, and I'm prepared...
...*Yawn* prepared and a little sleepy. I didn't sleep so good this past night I guess (nerves, they always play tricks on you).
Tomorrow we'll meet in a park in city to play "brännboll" (it's sort of like baseball but not nearly as complicated and serious, more of a game than a sport). He he, it sounds silly and very un-serious, but it's to make us all get to know each other better (like a bonding exercise or something like that). Honestly it's not really my thing, but still I think it could be fun. Just hope that the weather is good ^o^

The day that I start school, all alone in a new class for the first time in my life.
I'm so nervous!!!
What if no one likes me (I mean I know that I'm quite weird so it could happen)?
What if I don't find the right classroom?
What if I'm a lot younger than everyone else?
What if, what if, what if....?!
Gees this is a little too exciting for me to be honest.
Sure I like meeting new people and doing new things and all that, and I'm confident that it'll all be in order and that it'll turn out great eventually, it's just the way there that's...well nerve wrecking is the only way to put it I think.
Hi hi *nervous smile*
I feel like a small child, all excited and scared and happy in one deliciously mad mix.
I'll give you a full report tonight okay (when the dust have settled and I've calmed down a bit).
