Mood: Excited!!
Listening to: nothing right now, but I will be watching Rooster Teeth Podcast #220 pretty soon.

So, I got myself a PS3. And I bought Just Dance 4 and Skyrim. I tried Skyrim… It’s hard! Not at all how I expected. The controls are all over the place, and I’m pretty sure my Kajit looks drunk. But I’m having fun.. and I’ve only died once, so far. I think it was Riverwood I’d gotten to.
But yeah, I’m really enjoying it. It’s scary, but what can you do.
I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

A MELODY is a linear succession of MUSICAL TUNES that the listener perceives as a single entity. In its most literal sense, a melody is a combination of pitch and rhythm, while more figuratively, the term can include successions of other musical elements such as tonal color. It may be considered the foreground to the background accompaniment. A line or part need not be a foreground melody.

A SONG is a composition for voice or voices, performed by SINGING. A choral or VOCAL song may be accompanied by musical instruments, or it may be unaccompanied, as in the case of a cappella songs. The lyrics (WORDS) of songs are typically of a poetic, rhyming nature, though they may be religious verses or free prose.

I don’t know why it bugs me so when people get it wrong, but it does…

Mood: =D *jaw dislocation from happiness*
Listening to: ABBA – Super Trouper

We were out earlier to pick up some stuff and we went to the place where the Jan knows work… so I talked to him. MY PLAYSTATION 3 WILL BE HERE ON TUESDAY!!!! *squeeee*
And I’ve ordered some games on cdon.com too. I got Just Dance 4 (to get fit and have fun doing it) and Skyrim: The Elder Scrolls. I know it’s dated, somewhat, but I really want to try it. I’m going to have such fun making Xanthe, the cat person. I’m happyyyyy <3
I’m going to spend a year just leveling up and then do all the quests.. hee.. I know that’s like “why the hell…” but why not. I finally got Skyrim, and I’ll play it how I want to play it.
I can’t wait for cdon to get Dark Souls into the store.. I’m going to get it and play the hell out of it. And later on… Dead Space.. and never dare to play it ever!
*sighs happily*

Be utterly excellent to each other.

Mood: Pretty good. I’m at the tail end of a small cold.
Listening to: EpicNameBro playing Demon’s Souls.

Things have happened. I’m not going to lie. Jan turned 50 years old on May 17th and we went on a mini cruise with his kids to celebrate. Camilla also brought Hiep along, and it was all very lovely. We left on the 16th and came home on the 18th. When we got to Kiel on the 17th the weather was just fantastic. We got a little shopping done and among it I found Captain Morgan Spiced Gold. I bought 4 bottles. We did the math and figured out that buying those 4 bottles I would pay about 100 kr more than I would for ONE bottle in Norway. Roughly.
I was talking with my dad about it last night and we agreed that the politicians who decide what we’re allowed to pay for alcohol in Norway, they aren’t FOR the people. They are for themselves. They get payed the big bucks so they don’t have to worry about the things that us, the little people have to.
And this again makes it very hard to know what to vote for since whatever party says they want cheaper alcohol will get railroaded by Kristelig Folkeparty (Christian Peopleparty) who seem to think that we are mindless cheep who cannot be let lose in the ways of alcohol. So then, arguably, since state and church has been separated in Norway, they should stay away from politics.
Honestly, I have no idea what I need to vote for. I could give a blank vote to show my disagreement with the united politics of all parties. It is tempting.
Enough of that crap!
I think I wrote earlier, a few months back, that I started knitting a sweater.

No, that is not me… but it is the sweater I was knitting. I picked dark grey and lighter gray for the heart.
I finished knitting the back piece and came to the neck. I had no idea what to do, so I waited till we visited the family at Easter when I handed it to my mum so that she could help me. She did, of course, cause she rocks. I then started the front piece and got to the heart. My mum said I had to do something strange with the heart so I just handed it back to her and said she could have the honors or finishing it till they come to visit this summer.  I cannot wait to see how the end result is.
What else….
I started reading “World War Z” after having heard about it on the Rooster Teeth podcast. They keep talking about it, especially since the movie is coming out soon. I started reading it the other day, but since I only read after I’ve got to bed I haven’t gotten that far… and it’s in English, so I don’t have to worry about getting annoyed at bad translations. So far the book is great! That said I should also mention that I’m only about 20 pages in or so 😛
I’m also still trying to find The Thing (prequel to the 1980 something one) on TV. Yeah, yeah, I know.. Netflix blah blah blah. I don’t have Netflix. We pay enough money already for a handful of movie channels and it should be there! I’ve already seen them show it once, but WTF! Why not one more time for those who missed it the first time around. I’ll wait. I also want to watch Prometheus. I haven’t heard good things about it, but it’s an Alien prequel, damn it!
I’m also trying to get myself a Playstation 3 500G. I’m waiting for Jan to talk to a friend of his who was going to check out some prices for me. It seems like he either forgot or something… It’s starting to frustrate me. I want to play Dark Souls!!! Jan is also pretty good at procrastinating when it comes to asking people about things. I have no patience when it comes to things I really want. I think it’ll end with me going “Fuck it!” and getting it online somewhere.
I know I’ve been talking about it for a long time, but it’s taken me some time to save up money… and I was also waiting to see how much of the saved money I had to use for back-taxes. So I’ll get my Ps3 and then start saving again. I’m pretty sure I have to pay next year too.
Next year I could use the leftover money for tattoos. That’s a great idea =D
I really can’t think of more. I’m sure I’ve forgotten loads, but there will be other days.

Take care.

Mood: Pretty good. Got a tiny head ache, but I just took some pain killers, so hopefully it’ll go away soon.
Listening to: The Rooster Teeth guys playing Minecraft. What can I say, I’m an addict.

So yeah.
Nothing a whole lot has happened lately, except for me working a whole lot more than I am used to. An more pay means more shopping. Yes, I want on ebay and got stuff. I got some useful stuff too. Like eyelets for shoes. I really need those. And I got a hard cover thing for my cellphone. It’s really cute and I’ll post a picture when I get around to taking one.
I got some wallets too. I couldn’t decide weather to get the black one or the pink one. I’m still waiting for them to be delivered. It’s being send from Asia, so it’ll take some time. I’m expecting them in mid-April. I really don’t get that, tho. The cell phone covers got here pretty fast, and they were sent from Asia too. China… Honk Kong. The wallets are from China too… I really hope they get here soon, tho. U want them.

I also have a small grievance. More an annoyance, really. I decided long ago that I won’t have any kids. Kids annoy me. Like little kids… mostly under the age of 5. After 5 they tend to be more reasonable and you can actually talk to them without loosing your mind. If I wanted something small that depends on me for everything, I’d get a puppy.
What really annoys me is people who are all “Oh, just wait till you have your own kids” whenever I get annoyed at screaming toddlers. No, I won’t wait till I get my own. I won’t have my own to get annoyed at. And when I say that they say “Oh, you’ll change your mind. Just wait…”. NO! I won’t change my mind! Just because you want to get preggers and have kids doesn’t mean that EVERYONE wants one. It pisses me off that they can’t see that I don’t want to have kids! Sure, it’s not very normal for a woman not to want to have kids, but as soon as I figured out that kids piss me off I decided that it’d be best for me and for the potential kid not to be. A puppy you can leave at home all day without problems. Do that to a kid and you get problems.
I’m pretty sure my mother is sad that both me and my brother have decided we won’t have kids, but that’s our choice. Honestly, we’re enough people on the planet already, and I do see it as a very selfish act to have a kid. Of course I understand that if you love someone you’d want to mix genes with that person, to have something that’s “yours”, but I can’t help but think of all those kids that need parents. And of course I see the irony of my statement. How can I damn others when I’m not willing to take on a kid of my own. Well, I’m not going to increase the population, so that’s how I justify things.
And I still want a puppy.
Just keep your comments to yourselves. I don’t want to hear about how I’ll change my mind. No, I won’t. Having a kid is not appealing at all to me.
