Throwing rocks at your window
Just got back from taking the swedish version of the ACT, Högskoleprovet. Been there all day, from 8am til 4pm.. yay :P I think it went alright, it felt ok and if I do poorly it's just my first time and I can take it three more times before I'm even out of high school ^^ So yeah I'll be fine either way :)
Btw Mom dear mom I know you always read my posts too ^^ <3
So yeah, it's been an exhausting day but I'm glad I did it. Now I need some relaxed sleepy time ^^ Was thinking about doing something tonight, since I have no real homework for monday, but realised I'm too tired to move..
Thanks to this site, I knew what it was all about :P Awesome site about the test :) Provtips.se
My sister doing her homework. isn't in awesome?! LOL
<3
You might as well quit, if you haven't got it
I know I haven't blogged in a bit, but I have to blame it on Google Chrome... it keeps dying when I'm in the middle of writing and that always makes me lose my "in the moment want to write-ness" :P
.jpg)
I will hope for the best though and make a post that will hopefully get to the blog :)
Geez it's been a while. Only got three faithful readers haha you guys rock <3 Thanks for comments ^^ Laura dear I'm glad you like my poetry ;) and I'm glad we got to talk some the other day :) Need to do that more <3
Solveig; glad we talked too, missed that and it totally made me all hyper girlish to talk to you again <3
Trevor; just thanks for being there :* always having time for me and my moods.
So what's been up? Well... I started working out last Thursday and did it this past monday too, must say I feel pretty awesome that I've gotten started, and hopefully I can keep it going :) The gym is great, and I actually enjoy it =P
Hmm... Friday I had a very nice chat with Louise after school, and "fika" (gotta make up a word for that, Americans!), and Saturday I hung out with Cecilia, Louise and Nina all evening which was absolutely awesome and I realised how small of a world we live in. Turns out apparently everyone knows someone who knows you :)
Sunday I studied. end of sentence.
So I worked out again on monday, as I said, and tuesday.. yeah that day was somewhere inbetween there.. Mostly just looked over physics stuff and slept. Didn't feel too good.
Today I had the big physics A test and I think it went ok, didn't manage to answer all questions properly but still think I did a great job for however hard that test was.
Also today I've for the first time used some of the knowledge I got from Mr Parker's US History Class in Hurricane! ^^ We listed to Martin Luther King Jr's Speech "I have a dream" today in Speech A class, and he says "We hold these thruths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" and my teacher didn't think anyone'd know that quote so it impressed him quite a bit when I could quote it from the Declaration of Independence in the Constitution of the USA ;) Oh yes, it's all still stuck in there Mr Parker, no need to worry..
And most of the Amendments I can still tell which number is which one :P So it wasn't a completely wasted year ;) hehe jk it was an awesome year =)
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" etc etc xP
Gosh I'm Americanized :P
Waterpaint
I feel a bit like someone washed
the waterpaint away.
And I just need you to redraw
your smile and I'm okay.
I feel like you are hiding and
your head is in the sand.
Not realising we are strong,
we just don't understand.
I feel a kind of longing burn,
a need to hold you close.
Please keep in mind that I love you,
a feeling and a choice.
I feel a bit like someone washed
the leaves from the sidewalk.
And I just need you to redraw
your smile so we can talk <3

Once upon a time I had a life
Three things on the writing schedule today.
First off - YAY ME ^^I've spent so much time on the math for the big test on Wednesday, and FINALLY I just finished it all and wrote a summary of all the chapters for the test and I still have a few maths I haven't solved but I'll discuss those with dad tomorrow.. Yes my life is school right now. Sadly. I did manage to get to the gym today though and decide I'm starting thursday, and so now I'm gonna need all the pushing I can get to really use this membership and work out ^^
Secondly - Yay me again ;)
I got back my french test that I thought (I seriously was scared) that I'd fail at and that would be baaad but anyways I asked my teacher before class what to do if I got an F, and she said "nothing, just do better next time" and I was waaay worried cause it went terrible and I hate listening tests! Anyways so I found out.. I got an A! ^^ So proud of myself, so shocked and so happy :D
Thirdly. Sad sad me. I just found the pics from HHS Shakespeare Team's Competition on Cheila's fb and geeez I miss you guys so much! :') I'm glad you had a great time, sooo wish I could have been there! Sure I would have loved it too. I miss Drama so much <3 But I'm glad the new council is made up of great people :) You guys rock <3 Loves to you all!!!!
Best thing that's ever been mine
Alright. I wasn't going to put this up here but I just figured it's too pretty to just keep to myself O:) Can you tell who it is? ;P heheh yes I know I'm silly but still ^^ Isn't it beautiful?
You are so wonderful <3
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Finally this long and slooow week is over. So the speech Monday, then French essay writing Wednesday and History test + french listening test Friday... yay test week ;) History went well, but french listening.. gaah O.ô
This is my 2-year-old niece Siri and me having fun ;) she adores the hair ties, and they make very pretty rings on Lisas fingers, in her opinion ^^ isn't it cute? ;)
So, I adore making cakes ^^ Absolute love it, and to come up with designs and create.. So I made two cakes for Elsa's birthday yesterday, and they turned out pretty awesome =) Oh and coloring whipped cream is great too ;D
Congrats little Sister!! Can't believe you're 16, soon you'll pass me ;P Hope your birthday turned out just as awesome as you hoped :D Tons of love <3
Today is a pretty fall day. But fall's sorta messed up this year. I went for a walk today with Sara and mom and picked beautiful leaves and I found this bush full of berries :) isn't it pretty how there are just millions of them?
But honestly, fall is messed up because there are still flowers in bloom all over, and the bushes that usually bloom in early summer are now getting new flowers.. it's like spring decided to come EXTREMELY early :P
I don't mind though, with the roses still being pretty and the little cute blue, purple and yellow flowers below the red and yellow trees. it's very colorful and pretty ^^ Made me think of Solveig, you would love it dearie <3 Wish you were here.
So we made leaves-stuck-on-paper-thingie
I know I hate fall but today fall was pretty :)
Killing me softly
Happy Cinnamon roll Day!! ^^ Wonderful dad, I came home to find new made cinnamon rolls waiting for us =P So sweet <3
New - believe it or not but it's actually easier to focus on doing homework if I talk to Trevor while doing it. That way, he keeps me from getting on fb or just watch a movie instead, and so I get stuff done ;) and he's helping me out with math too :) Thanks <3
This morning I had my speech, that I held, and I chose to hold the one about the Walrus and the Carpenter from Alice in Wonderland, and believe it or not... I felt awesome, I wasn't nervous like at all, and I got an A+! :D yay now I feel way awesome ^^

Tonight I'm gonna go see Veronica and Tessan at the gym, need to talk to both them and the people who work there. Then I think I will take a slow and sweet evening, being lazy ^^ I deserve it :P Been studying all afternoon since I got out of class at 2. And I need to get well from this slooow and long and boring cold =)
Laterzz
October first - official fall
Sadly, I'm way converted to Google Chrome instead of Firefox.. my internet started acting funny and now I just can't stand that anymore.. Is it silly that I attached to an internet browser...? Yes :P
So, I really felt like doing something tonight but the made plans with Louise decided to not happen so I'm staying home, with my sister and parents, and gonna spend the night both talking to them and to Trevor.. Might sound weird on a friday night, but I am still sick and though going to Louise's house was still ok, I don't feel like doing anything that takes too much action from my side. Need to get well now!! It's been forever since I got sick ;)
So - I've fallen in love with a song again ^^ Though these romances with songs are usually pretty short, this is a good one :P Adore the song, and everyone should hear it <3
Today is October first. It's officially fall, there was frost outside last night and it was too cold to drive this morning so Elsa and I got a ride to school :P Can't wait for the first snow!!! ^^ yaay ;P
Our song is the way you laugh
So I found a bunch of pictures (thanks Kayla) that I figured I should put up here since I haven't really posted pictures in a while.. Enjoy!
Me, Sabi, her cute daughter Abby held by Courtney, and Jenny

Think that's it for today. Hope you comment! <3
oh and P.S. Solveig thanks for sending my flashdrive and those sweets ^^ love ya <3
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
I don't know what's up with me sometimes. I can just sit for really long looking through pictures on facebook - sometimes of people I haven't even met - just cause I see the familiar places, the typical jesus painting in the background of the homecoming pics, the parks, the school, zion and St George... it's really doesn't matter if I'm going through some stranger's photo album, I still enjoy just looking at Southern Utah ^^
That's it for me tonight. Just a random thought added. Sleep well :D
P.S. Laura! Miss you girl, need is big to skype agaaain!!! Loves and goodnight.. morning.. lunchtime.. Good whatever! ^^ <3

P.S (P.S) Please don't hate me for putting this picture up here ^^ I adore it so much and well,,, if you do hate me for it then let me know and I'll take it away, but it's awesome and real you =) So yeah, just letting you know I didn't put it up here to tease you ;) I really like it *blowing kisses* <3
NV09E
My class ^^
Don't really know all the names of all the guys yet :P Feel sorta bad about that but well they look very similar and some of them just don't seemed to care enough to say hi the first day, which is fine, but then they can't really expect that people learn their names very fast, can they? ^^
Anyways, I can at least give you the front row =) Amanda, Linnea, Catti, Sara, Vanessa, Cecilia, MEEE, Louise
Now I'm off to bed after a very exhausting day, think it's this cold/cough that's still making me so tired. Tomorrow we're writing an english essay and then we're off to a medival museum... yaaay xP hah silly
Night <3

Running through my mind all day
Just got home after a delicious dinner at Rice in town with my sisters, celebrating Sara's 13th birthday. Yesterday she had her party with her friends here; decorating cakes and throwing cream at each other.. Friday was her actually birthday and we had my brothers with wives and daughters (wow.. that sounds so weird.. haha cute) over for dinner and gosh Siri is soo adorable (my niece who's almost 2) ^^
The rest of the weekend has pretty much been homework. Have to read two books for swedish and english, and do maths and physics and read history and learn english vocab words and read about essays in english and read about global warming.. that is, those are all for monday, tuesday or wednesday this coming week. And people keep telling me to do other stuff and gaah I just wanna cuddle up in my bed with a movie and fall asleep... O=)
Found this, and well it's pretty much awesome. Would be a shame if anyone out there didn't see it ;) enjoy!

Raindrops are falling on my head
Drove to school this morning and arrived soaked from head to toe, had to walk around til lunch with wet clothes.. very not cosy at all :P And on the way home, same thing. About to get some hot chocolate to stay warm ^^ And Solveig - if you read this - I know I get sick from hot chocolate but as always I convince myself it's worth it. It never is. Sorta lost the craving for it now.. hmm.. O.o
So yesterday was my nameday. The only person who remembered it was my PE teacher, but well I barely did myself so no hard feelings ^^ My family did remember today tho, and made a cake :) Yummy!
I'm still waay frustrated at Trevor's internet being dead since Sunday, but yeah hope it will be back on soon. Miss talking to him ;P
Baguette
Hey, here I sit in my room doing homework (yes I actually am doing homework, being all good I already got all the swedish done ^^) and taking a break I thought I'd put this song up here. We watched it today in French class and well... it's pretty cool cause I understand all of it very well ;P And well just watch it and look at the face expressions and the clothes... yeah a picture says more than a thousand words so please watch ;) so worth it ^^
Btw, if anyone in the cast for Alice last spring reads this (I know some of you do) and has any way of getting hold of Courtney's mom Dina who filmed the show, I'd be forever thankful to anyone who could mail me a copy of the filming (I'll pay all expenses)... yeah just trying really hard to get a copy of it cause it would mean a lot to me to have :)
Tonight I'm going to see Veronica and drive some more with my dad so I can get my license soon.. Will still take forever, which makes me feel silly having friends so much younger than me in the US who already got theirs ;P Not fair ^^ But I will get it! Just need to get back in the habit of driving..
That's it for now. I'm frustrated at Trevor's internet being down cause I miss talking to him, but I guess that's just how it is. Maybe I should read some Alice in Wonderland in Swedish.. :D
Foux Da Fa Fa
Today after school I went to the bibliotek and looked for Alice in Wonderland for Swedish class - we have to analyse books and I've decided to analyse and compare two kids books ^^ - and I really badly wanted to find it in English too cause well.. I'm still obsessed with that story after the play :P But the library didn't have Alice in Wonderland OR Through the Looking-glass! Got a little upset with them.. Really wanted those books :P

The lights will inspire you
Good morning good afternoon and hi :)
I'm about to go meet Louise who's coming here in a little bit, and some friends are coming over so we can all be waaay nerdy and watch all the LotR movies hahaha yes we're silly but it's gonna be a blast ;) I know at least three people from Utah I'd loove to have here tonight too, and you three know who you are ;) And yes, you three are like the only ones reading my blog anyways so well.. heheh yay you three xP
I have this song stuck in my head, it's really a good one, and I thought I'd share it with you.
If I put all the songs I have stuck in my head and like up here, this would be a "music only blog" ;) but well some I just can't help putting up here :P Enjoy!
Blue is the colour
Time flies. Wednesday I spent running around the forest in the rain with a map and some friends.. or running is really an overstatement. I was coughing like crazy still and walked. There's a nice little café in the middle of a field and they have really good chocolate cookies and sweet stuff ^^ heheh yeah so we took a break there..
Today after school I've been hanging out with Veronica, nice to see her again, having a great girly time just being silly and fun, then made dinner together and watched a movie while having dessert that she made yesterday (she's soo good at cooking, so awesome!) and had some more silly fun :P Always good to see her.
This is the movie we watched ^^ it never gets boring, such a silly weird awkward awesome movie ;P
Now I'm home, still coughing but I've taken some medicin so I can sleep. Hopefully Trevor will log on so I get to talk to him for a bit, or (if I'm right and he's busy doing something else..) someone else who is willing to take up a little bit of my evening time tonight..? :)
Tired and sick. Time to count the sheep - and go to sleep. I'm off to bed. Soon :P Loves <3

Sara's Cupcakes
Yummy!!! ^^
Hold me without touch - like a melody in my head
Yes, I posted this song earlier, not very long ago too, but I just really like it, and felt in the mood for it. If you heard it already, it's worth hearing again ^^
I listen to this over and over again when I do math =) So pretty

Today I overslept a bit, but got up eventually (thanks Trevor!) and went to Speech class at 8. Then my french teacher was gone so we didn't have second hour, and then I had lunch break so I went home at 9 and didn't come back til 11.30 for PE, where I walked since I'm still sick and the coughing won't give in.. Anyways, nice to have a long break with a chance to come home and actually get ready :P For example, I had no makeup on at all for first hour. Might have been a good choice, since it was pouring both there and home, on my scooter.. yay ^^
Had PE and English, and been home cleaning my room etc since :) I like Mondays, now that I no longer go til 4.40 pm ;P
Time for some homework and then dinner and hopefully I'll get to bed in time and get rid off this cough soooon! =)
I shouldn't put this many songs up here cause no one will listen to them anyways, but I just wanna share them cause theese are both stuck on my mind all the time :P Good ones :) Enjoy ^^

Welcome to Hurricane Heat
Do I miss Utah, the people, the awesome school and classes, my wonderful hostfamily..?
Yes ofc I do.
Do I miss the heat?
