There are so many things you can accomplish and explore during a year, but for every year that passes, time passes even faster. When I was in year five, I thought a year was an eternity with no end. Today, it feels like I welcomed 2013 only a couple of months ago. I guess this is where I'll start mixing the years together, not being able to remember when I did this or that.
To me, 2013 has brought upon a lot of surprises and I hope all people around the world have had loads of new things happening to them during this past year as well; both positive and negative, as there is no happy moments without a little climbing.
The whether here is a little more than that of the unexpected kind. It’s as if the whole bloody country is lying next to a broken oven. Every morning it’s cool with temperatures around 10-15 degrees, so of course you put on an extra thick sweater or bring a lighter jacket, but as soon as that clock hits noon, the oven starts doing what it does best; burn shit.
It was 27 degrees when I got home this Thursday, 27 fothermucking degrees. I’m not programmed for that shit if my last entry is anything to go by.
Now, as archetypal students, me and Karin (one of my brilliant know-it-all friends from uni) headed into campus to study for an upcoming exam. In the middle of it, we decided to head to the city centre for some ice-cream and this frozen yogurt thing I’ve never tried before.
We sat outside in the sun. It was hot, humid and sunny. I was not amused; she was happily licking away on that ice cream of hers while smiling at the D-vitamin attacking her body.
I was so certain that when you live where you get -40’s in the winter, you won’t get +30’s in the summer. I guess I was wrong.
I'm like a ginger, even though my hair is blond. I burn, as easily as fuck. The redhead genes in my family are strong within me, yes they are. But I'm ready for a fight, so bring it on summer.
How easily do you burn? Or wait. You're one of those bastards that tan, aren't you?
I'm so lazy at times. I'm such a procrastinator. I just can't help it though. YouTube calls and when YouTube calls, you will stay up until two in the morning knowing you're fucked for work. But at times it certainly makes the time worth it. Gabriel Iglesias is the funniest fuck whom has ever graced this Earth.
I like comedians in general, and it's brilliant when they talk about things you can relate to. Let's bring forward and example. Fluffy says (yes, Gabrilen calls himself Fluffy): "I'll walk up to a woman, I'll say the first thing that comes to mind: Hey, you hungry?" Oh hell yeah, I'd do that. Not the chick, I meant the action.
There's no way in hell I'm going to go up to a person and proceed to ask them if they'd like a drink. I'm not spending a mini fortune on a glass of shit that will make them fall for the person behind me due to their overly intoxicated state. Because hey, I'm hotter when the person I'm talking to stays sober.
I just had to go into nerd mode as soon as I saw these pictures I'm going to show you down below, because come on, how could you not as a true Naruto fan?
Personally I am one to have liked Namikaze Minato even since before we knew he was Naruto's biological father. When Uzumaki Kushina took a step into the front light I started to like her as well. I can honestly admit I don't like her as much as I like Minato, but damn, she's one badarse mother.
I bet you've heard about the latest Naruto film if you're reading this with interest. It's the sixth Shippūden films (ninth overall) and its release date is about two weeks away in Japan: Naruto: Road to Ninja.
But what's it about? I've gathered some information left and right and I believe I've come across some rather decent sources and most of them agree on what I'm about to tell you. Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto are supposedly thrown into an alternate reality; a reality that was created by Tobi so it's not real, but who cares as long as we get to see baby Naruto with his parents, right?
The pictures that have been released (drawn by Tetsuya Nishio mind you) may or may not be animated, we don't know. Nevertheless, it gives the fans a small taste of what life could have been like for Naruto growing up with parents.
I’ve seen some scans of Sasuke and Hinata as well and damn… they’re so different, but I can help but like them. Sasuke’s actually acting like a kid and Hinata’s got self-confidence. I’m the opposite of a SasuSaku and NaruHina fan, so I sincerely hope Sasuke won’t hit on Sakura, and that Hinata will keep her flashing away from Naruto.
She's fucking scary if anything... at least we got to know why she was flashing her assests on the first poster.
Something I'm personally wondering about is whether or not there will be two Narutos and two Sakuras running around on screen, or if they're going to take their counter parts’ places in this alternate reality. Perhaps it's merely something they can watch and not participate in, or maybe Tobi's merely messing with (mostly) Naruto, giving him a life filled with love to later on take it away.
All the same, I just can't fucking wait for this movie to be released, the only downside of it being that it would be released outside of Japan until next year (kill me now).
My sister graduated today. I actually was about to write about it yesterday, but then I made that entry into an 'only foods' kind of entry and then I forgot about it, so if I had written about it yesterday, it would have looked something like this:
"...I bought my sister some presents today. It's her secondary school graduation."
I got her "Portal II", "Masseffect" and "Angry Birds Rio". She fell in utter like with the former two. I bet she's going to play Portal II non-stop until it either crives her crazy (as it's not exactly an easy game') or me crazy (she tends to use her keyboard when handling her anger).
I think the worst part is that I'm just as into games as she is, but never do I play anything outside of Minecraft and online games. I'm such a failure of a gamer.
So, I hung out with some friends downtown at a café and not only did I get a hell of a lot of chocolate from two of the guys, but we're currently planning on having a bigger event where we'll meet up and do some fun stuff. I'm desperate for social closure to people.
Now, why did I get chocolate from two guys? I helped them ace a mathematics test, that's why. I'm bloody brilliant, I know.
I had the opportunity to be a part of a rather... intense trip with a friend of mine. Apparently the company my father work for had arranged an aerial display in the southern parts of our country. I decided to go. I like aeroplanes.
Of course my father was one of the people I travelled with, but my other companion was this friend of mine from school. To be more exact, my Babouska. The trip there was not that much of a chock-a-block, because we travelled there by train in a couchette (it's a compartment on a European passenger train, and it usually contains 4-6 berths for sleeping; ours had six). We played some truth and dare while drinking orange pop and eating chocolate.
When we woke up the next day, we were off to the aerial display. I've got to say that it was a bit more exciting than I thought it would be. Planes from so many different years and helicopters that made me think of Avatar (with thiose blue aliens you know, directed by James Cameron. Yeah, not the last air bender...)
After spending the entire day there, with food, aeroplanes, a lecture held by the first Swedish female on Mt Everest, windy weather and random moments of insanity, it was time to head home again.
We also found some time alone in the bistro, and with the obvious help of sugar, Ruff and I started counting McDonalds restaurants, Max restaurants, rape fields, animals, lakes, you-name-it. We also got our hands on som Yatzy. Guess who won?
It was a brilliant trip and I really enjoyed it. Perhaps not only because of everything it coantained, but because I like to break free from my every day life and do something different once in a while. It's always fun to randomly travel by train for six hours and then watch planes from the 30's fly in the sky once more, isn't it?
I'm old enough to be graduating sixth form. I can't believe it.
I've had three awesome years with the most awesome people ever. We're so awesome we decided to diss prom and head out and have dinner instead. We even got all dressed up and made sure to look our best. It was quite hilarious to see all the people, I've gone through most of my teen years with, act so proper and look so stylish (more stylish that usually that is).
And of course it was Ruff and Anders that stood for most of the comedy, and no, they're not dating, never had. Though I do know Anders had the hots for Ruff after getting a flash of her boobs during junior year. (You did not hear this from me.)
We also had to get a group photo, so with me behind the camera this is what got caught. I love it. They're the people I went to sixth form with. (Ash and Jerry got all camera shy so they're not in the picture.)
And as you can see, Carro (pink dress) and Ruff (rock 'n' roll) are wearing heels. Heels I know came apart later in the evening when we went to a bar. They were complaining from time to time about sore feet and aches in places they'd never known before. Women are weird.
All in all, I'm excited as well as nervous. I've got no idea what's awaiting me on the other side of summer. I think I'm going to go to university, but you never know. Anything could happen. I'm glad I got to spend three years with these people though. I'll never forget that.
I know I'm a bit late about this, but I finally realised that "Hey, I can add images so how about me talking about that new Naruto movie?" Oh yeah, and for those who don't know anything about Naruto and the world it revolvs around, check - it - the - fuck - out! The movie won't come out to the people outside of Japan for quite a while, as Blood Prison hasn't even been released yet (yes, I'm counting the days... there's no need to ask), but doesn't it look promising? And with Minato and Kushina in the front? Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, I really want to know what this one is going to be about.
A-a-a-and also, what makes me even more excited is that Masashi Kishimoto has been a part of the plot making. I smell success here. I remember patiently awaiting The Lost Tower movie (fourth Naruto Shippuuden movie) and when I finally saw it I was so disappointed. I'd thought there was going to be sooooooo much more between Minato and Naruto, but I'm such a sucker for the two of them as a family so maybe I over anticipated the whole thing.. yeah...
Howeveeeeeeer; I've been reading on saiyanisland about it, and they've actually released the first trailer (that is, it you can call ten seconds of nothing-that-will-tell-me-about-the-plot-you-damn-teaser a trailer) and I think it's going to be about Tobi and his quest for the Tsuki no Me (Eye of the Moon). It makes me believe we'll only see Naruto's parents in flashbacks and such and that makes me sad to be honest.
Do you think there's going to be a lot flashbacks? Is Tobi going to reveal some more stuff regarding his plan? Why is Hinata flashing her assets? Questions, questions, questions.
Oh man, you do feel better when beating the shit out of your keyboard. And no, it has got nothing to do with Valentine. It just happened to be this day that my hands saw it fit to take out my frustration on the keyboard.
I'm just going to go to the store so I can buy chocolate. Loads of it. Why? Because no one gave me any of it today.
My baboushka Ruff has turned a whole year older, so we decided to celebrate. Or rather, she dragged us with her to a local café for some delicious latté and fresh delicacies. Not that I drink the beverage of the devil or anything. I found myself some nice tea instead. Coffine free mind you.
I also found this marvellous little thing called a "Sugar-free berry panacotta", so impulsively I decided to buy that instead of some chocolate cake. As I love my chocolate cakes, the celebrants cocked a head at this oddity. (I'm just writing this so I can show you the pictures we took, I hope you're aware of that.)
Other than that people decided to be people and therefor they started to act like Russian bears. They even found the perfect "björnfitta" to prove their point. Of course Anders was one of those bears.
We truly had a brilliant day. It was a great way of getting our minds out of our IT-infested gutters and do something besides sitting on our arses all day. What did you do today?
I've just started my senior year (three weeks ago, it's just me being lazy her) and when I got to a class known as Swesdish C (like an AP class) we had to write our teacher a small entry in a journal.
Quick note: We've got the most amazing thing called ELITS on our school where we can find all the documents we need; contact teachers; see out schedules; get information about certain days and events, and the list goes on. We also have access to our different courses and everything and anything related to that; every course have its own journal where we can leave entires.
...maybe that note wasn't so quick? So, I'd like to tell you about an entry I left our new teacher. I didn't think about the fact that it was a teacher I was addressing and when I'd sent it, hell broke loose in my brain.
My name is blah blah and I'm majoring in blah blah. I've studied at Oxford and am a complete besserwisser regaridng the English langauge, and I enjoy watching cat videos on YouTube. The humour in this classroom is overrated. Knock, knock jokes are not funny.
I wrote some other things as well, but they're not as important. I've never met her before and this is the first impression I'm leaving? Studying at Oxford clearly did nothing to my social skills...
I haven't been online here in weeks, or posted anything in forever. I really should start doing that. Now, something that made me smile yesterday was when:
1) a friend of mine expressed - in a weird way - that he's missed me. I haven't spoken to him for the entire holiday, so when I logged on to Skype he sent an IM within seconds asking whether or not I'd falled of Earth. Bromance.
2) Three minutes after the first Skype incident happened another friend of mine started talking to me and we had a rather fun conversation. She'd awesome and I I guess we just invented the the womancebromance.
3) My sister told a joke.
I found myself grinning like a mad fuck by the end of the day. I'm easy to please.
I went to McDonald’s with some friends yesterday and I saw an elderly man picking up bottles from the trash. It always makes me wonder - whenever I see such a person - if they don’t have enough money or it they’re doing it to get more money for some other reason. I live in a relatively rich country and homeless people are extremely rare.
Lunch passed with Ash and Jerry, and as they left for their respective busses, I walked to my own bus. Though at first, Jerry missed his buss. He had to run towards it but it left before he got there. Hilarious sight. Didn’t help that he dropped his mobile on the ground, causing it shatter into three pieces. He revived it with the help of CPR.
When I entered the busstation I saw this elderly man. He was checking his plasticbags to see how much he’d gathered for the day, and that’s when I noticed he had a cut on his left arm. It was located on his lower arm – near the bend of it – and it was not just a slice you can get from a piece of paper, but a sodding flesh wound. He most likely got the cut from getting his arm caught innone fo the recycling stations.
Honestly, this made me sad. He retorts to this to get some extra money for various reasons, and that’s when I truly realise that I’m quite well-off. I mean, I’ve got money in my pocket and can buy a hamburger at McD while I watch this man collect recyclable bottles.
I like strawberries and Naruto. A combination of the two works just fine. I blog about random shit when I've got the time for it. Food, games, trips and series. Anything that interests me.
