Swineflu

So, i’ts been talked about alot now, haven’t it?
Just kind of wondering how things are like in your country, where you live, in you school, you friends? Do people have it? Is the public really afraid? Do they do anything to make less people get sick?

Well, here it’s what it’s like where i live, in Norway (if you didn’t know). In public places, library, the ferry, cafes and school cafeterias have tubes/bottles of liquid to disinfect our hands. And there are several posters and commertials about the flu, and how you should sneeze and caugh into your elbow and wash you’re hands several times. There are also sold these small bottles and tissues of disinfect-products EVERYWHERE (like, the coffieehouse, the food-store, the museum, yeah, you name it).

I’ve had a few friends who’s had it. They where pretty much our for 3-5 days, and then up and running. High fever, lots of sweating and caughing. It’s never fun being sick, but it’s nothing to fear.

I think I am imune. I dont think I will ever get this flue… (well i guess i just jinxed that now). I’ve been around two sick guys, most of the time they were sick.. and I’m still here typing.

Well, how’s it with you, are you sick?

Traveling

So alot of you guys have asked how my trip to New York City was. Well I’m just about to tell you!

It was so much fun I didn’t want to leave! I saw alot of cool and typical american stuff (Except Poptarts, seriously, i think they were hiding them from me). Well, I even ate sweet caramelizes popcorn! (We don’t have that stuff in Norway).

I visited the Museum of Sex, The Empire State Building and Central Park.
I took the free ferry to Staten Island to get a closer look at The Statue of Liberty!
I went to a Broadway show: The Little Murmaid. Oh so many memories from my childhood! And on first row! It was awesome!
I went shopping everywhere! (And spent a little more money than I should have).
I took the City Tour Sightseeing bus!
I ate at Hard Rock Café, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, TGI Fridays and Planet Hollywood.
Got invited to a private screener for The Hangover! It was awesom to see it one day before everyone else!

Well, now to my REAL reason for blogging today.
I travel. A LOT.
Yesterday i ordered 2 plane tickets to London. Because I’m going to see The Fray in London at the 20th of October!
And just today, I ordered plane tickets to Spain.. to just, relax, get a tan, eat and drink and be with my friends. I’ll miss the first two days of my new school year.. but I though it was worth it.. One week in heaven. Srsly. I cant wait.

Prices for planetickets:
Lonodon 100 NOK (£10, €10, $15)
Spain 400 NOK (£40, €40, $57)

Do you travel alot? Does it cost much?
I think this was so cheap I didnt even hasitate!

The Snow

The snow came to Norway as it did in alot of countries these past days. It has been cold for the last days, so it was kind of in the air. I was just waiting. Even though i was waiting, it hit me. I woke up.

“It’s Snowing”
“No-way”

And it was. The ground was covered and the sky was white. That was about all I saw before i crawled back to bed.
Into my warm bed.
Closing my eyes.
Pretending it wasn’t true.
Falling asleep,
Skipping school.

All of this, cause of the snow. It’s cold, its depressing and it melts when it gets to hot. That’s what it always does, that’s what it will do forever. Its depressing. Its not cold enough for the snow to last. We get the snow in october, but it won’t last until christmas. I wish snow would come on the 24th of December and stay just until the 1st of January. That would have been nice.

The snow is alreaddy just wet, rainy and mushy. The weather is still cold. I call that rip-off.

Twilight

This post is about the first four books in the Twilight series.

If you dont know what this is please continue reading. If you are sick and tired of this book and all the fuss around them, you can stop now.

Since I come from a land far far away, we are a little late in the books/movies/TV from the states. I have just recently read the first book, even though the series is finished, and i have three more to read.

I first heard about this book through Youtube, of course, where else?  And I am soooo glad i did.

This is a romantic book between a girl and a vampire boy. All the challenges this meets and how incredible strong their love is despite their differences.

I don’t know where in the world you are form, or if you are speak one of the 38 languages this book has been translated. You may never have heard of it, and if that is correct, its YOU I’m writing this post to.

This book took me by surprised. I was stuck to the book for a week since i got it. I was shocking how i just LOVED it. I fell for everything. This author, Stephanie Meyer, knows herself, she knows what girls want in a boy and what a boy should say to make a girl melt and shake.

It is kind of dangerous, since you will be comparing all other boys to the main boy in this book, Edward Cullen. You will never find him. Just as simple as i can say, you will never find a vampire. But what do I know? right?  We don’t know what’s hiding in the darkness.

All boys, This is was you guys call a girls book, a book full of clichés. You are so right. This has everything you guys hate. But I do have one theory. If you read this book, and study Edward Cullen, and the things he say, and the little details he does. You will know what you need to understand women. I believe so. Get on with it

The Outsiders by Susan E. Hinton

Have you ever though about reading a book and never knowing what is a great book? This is a great book! The Outsiders by Susan E. Hinton. Many have read this in school, and therefore they hate the book, because they read it by force! I god this book from my sister, and it is absoutely wonderfull! I read it first in Norwegian and then I wanted to try the original version.

The book has everything. It is funny, exciting, sad, moving, and there is fighting, loving and friendship.

It is about a gang of Greasers who have to live in the same town as the Socs. And how they do not get along! The wrong girl leads them into a fight and this is where everything starts to happen.

I love the book, thats why I have to write about it. Have you read it? What do you think?

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay

There has been made a movie about this book too. It’s not as good as the book and I won’t reccomend it for someone who hasn’t read the book first, because there is so much you miss out. But the movie can be found on Youtube.

Outdoor-Movie

So yesterday the cinema in town showed a movie outdoors. Totaly free and totaly AWESOME.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall ( 2008 ) was shown, and it was sooo funny! I got a little surprised when I got to see Jason Segel wee-wee and Mila Kunis tits. But it was funny Oh so funny

And it was so many people there! And the screen was like 13 metres, and the sound was good, and not to many people was standing up in the middle of the movie, and not alot of smoking! It didnt cost a think, and me and my friend had the best chairs ever.
