"Shut up, you will end up in the porno industry"

Well, exams are over, term 1 of year 2 is over, my time in Ottawa is up and I am ready and eager for new adventures. And no, not the porn industry.

I don't know when my next blog entry will be, so... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Lesson: don't fuck with my facebook comments, bitch.

When the roof caved in

Love love love their voices. Play at my next b-day, please?

A Christmas Carol

After I finished my 7-hour exam which I am not even sure how I did - I went to dinner with my friend Brit and some other people from CarletonU, and then we went to see the play A Christmas Carol, and it was amazing! Fantastic acting, they really kept the essence of Charles Dickens!

My Amateur Interest in Space

Take a look here at these amazing photos taken with the Herschel telescope of space. Amazing!


Southern Cross of March 1996

WHY?

So I think it's retarded that the new ipod nano has a camera. Such a useless thing to have.. and it was only put there to increase market value. It's not like it's an improved version or anything, they just need to boost sales. If you gonna shoot video's, at least don't fall for random "developments".

Tribute to the Warmer Days

Taken on a warm autumn day, when sunshine was not considered a mythical term...

I love My Mom...

...for sending me the sweetest messages on FB when I completely screwed up on an academic assignment. I woke up in the morning today and I had three different comments from her, and it instantly made me feel better. She is absolutely awesome and I would not have managed without her support. She gives me my strength to travel and study like a lunatic, yet somehow still find some kind of balance on which I fall back to.

Can't wait until I see her in January... and I especially can't wait until our trip together!

It's only Wednesday

And how do I know that I am super-super busy?!

Well, the first give-away sign for me would be my compulsive list making. As soon as I have a build up of stuff to do, I begin making lists. And since I usually never have any proper paper to write my lists out on - I write on receipts, candy wrappers, ripped out journal papers, old essays - anything I can find with one clean side. And I never forget where I put the cluttered sheet of paper. I know what pocket, bag, wallet, book I put these lists in to make sure I don't forget. For me, it serves as a sign that life is moving on for me.

But really, since Sunday I have been one busy bee. Me being busy also serves as a reason to avoid studying for like, you know, 7-hour exams on subjects which are "subjective".

So far, I've had time to:

1. Order my ungraded transcript.
   
2. Buy a bag.
   
3. Call the respective airlines for further questioning about my flight.
   
4. Cut my hair.
   
5. Buy Christmas presents and wrap them.
   
6. Make a list to what I'm taking with me on my travels.
   
7. Pack a bag with the stuff that I won't need, reducing the amount of stressed which will only increase with time.
8. Attend a photo shoot which goes together with my feature in the uOttawa's Law magazine.
   
9. Return papers to the judge I interviewed in the beginning of November.
   
10. Pay my phone bill.
    
11. Return things that weren't mine. But which I borrowed. Permanently.
    
12. Decide what things I am going to throw away or give away before leaving.
13. Watch Inglorious Bastards and completely fall in love with the movie.
    
14. Eat a good bye dinner with Becky, before she left for home.
    
15. Print out my tickets.
    

I am happy I've done most of the stuff which I planned to do the day before leaving. I saved myself a significant amount of stress, and saved my mood. Now I'm only worried about the one hour transit in Chicago, but when I called the airline, they said that it will be "more than enough". Well, it better be, because if I arrive late, I am going to hunt down the person I spoke to and they will never ever again work for the airline. Or anything else for that matter. I will turn them into my personal aircraft, if so would be necessary.

Some Random Color

I was browsing through David LaChapelle's celebrities photographs and found this lovely piece.

Good Times

What I think of exams

That's what I think of exams. Especially 7-hour long exams on subjects that don't make any sense.

Tribute to Sak

I miss my Diva. Thanks for introducing this song to me on the trip back from Toronto. I smile to myself when I remember your improvisation of the "American". You're awesome.

No matter where I live...

There will be two things I will to have at home to feel complete:

1. Great soundsystem all around the apartment/house/container/tent. Preferably not too visible, but the sound has to be amazing. This BeoVox1 from Bang Olufson is nice....

Coffee machine. A real one. Sure, I use a cafetier right now, but I would love to be able to make whatever coffee I want whenever I want - perfectly. I'm imagining myself making myself a cup of coffee, listening to music through my amazing sound system. Yes, please!

I will continue updating the list, but I feel that over the years, these are the two first things I really think about when I imagine my future and what it results in. That is, when I think about my living - I think about this. I also want proper kitchen appliances, but that is a crave I am developing because I am growing old and senile. Any moment now I will be discussing pots and plants and I will be recommending what type of chemicals you needs to grow the ultimate orchid.

Sarah's 18th Birthday

Yesterday, I came back from my friend Brittany's place and the 10th floor was celebrating Sarah's 18th birthday. I can only imagine how impatient she was to turn legal AT LEAST on the other side of the river... just one more year and she'll be able to drink anywhere in Canada and not only Quebec! :)

Which color?

I'm getting a pair of Minnetonka moccasins.. but I can't decide in what color. The purple pair is a limited edition, but at the same the brown one's are the more "classic" pair. Help?

Let it Snow! .... Somewhere else.

First of all, I have a horrendous view out of my window at residence. To one side, I can parts of the canal and the high way, and the other, well, ugly roofs.

Anyways, it began to snow here in Ottawa. A lot. It didn't snow until yesterday, and it decided to snow everything at once. It's not Chrismassy or romantic or whatever, you can't exactly look outside and feel as if you're part of a Christmas carol or something. You look outside and you see snowflakes being raped by the wind, being violently slammed into the windows, walls and ground. The wind is so strong that you can barely walk, close or open doors... Disgusting.

In Sweden, the snow falls, it's crispy, the streets are silent and the cold doesn't appear as painful because it's so friggin beautiful outside. This is not the case. I heard that it's supposed to be 20cm of snow today. I am just going to say... F*CK THAT.

Voodoo Beaver

I know what pillow I want to add to my collection....
I can see this pillow as part of Victor's collection, too.

Hello, Paul Newman.

Hello. ^_^

What I am going to use my rent for.

Meteorite Ring

So... if I ever get paid... I am getting myself a meteorite ring. To wear a piece of space... if I can't go to space right now, then at least I will wear it.

My next present to myself

I am looking for a new necklace which I can wear all the time... my rhino necklace is getting old and rusty.. and i found this beauty. Can't wait for my next loan.

:)
Dream up!

Cute Kitty

My future in PR

I have a friend. Her name is Aggie. She is a size 0 yet she eats more than a whole football team put together. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make a business out of her. I became inspired by a documentary about the heaviest woman on Earth - she weighed nearly a ton. She died shortly after her gastric bypass, but she has appeared on all possible shows and has media attention on her for several years.

This is the plan: Aggie will become the heaviest woman on Earth. It might take a couple of years for someone like her, but it will be possible to work this into a profitable business.

She will become a master in ALL x-box games (and all other game devices except Wii because that might result in her loosing the weight), and she will earn money by playing against other people online (and whatever other methods there are, this will be her responsibility).

As her manager, I will start a myspace, youtube, twitter and facebook account under her name. We will post videos, comments and pictures.

A fund will be opened in her name, and a tv-channel will be started. We might be talking reality TV here, too.

Maybe she will guest star in a show starting with O and ending on H (she might hate the idea now, but this will be good for the publicity of her book). By being on big day time shows, other shows will open their doors for her. Jerry Springer, Rachel Ray (who else to ask for baking recepies of not Aggie the Gigantor?), Ellen DeGeneres will welcome her with open arms once Aggie shares her concern for the Gay Community in Europe, and the Late Night Shows will love her quirky sense of humour.

She will have "lines" which we will copyright, such as "I eat to mute my feelings", and everytime someone says that, we will make money. T-shirts will be designed with her typical saying when she eats "Nom nom nom". It will be available in all sizes (even XXXXL) and several different colors. We will have Pamela Anderson model them with nothing but the t-shirt on, too. Courtney Love can hold a speech at the fashion show, because she brings in the necessary scandalous publicity and she can mutter something incoherent.

Japan will create a Tamagotchi in her name. The sole aim of the Tamagotchi will be to feed Aggie, and if you don't, she slowly grows thin and unhappy. It will have catchy songs and interesting applications.

Aggie is going to publish a book about her struggle with the world and how everyone fails to understand her.

She might have to change her name to somethng more catchy and flowing.

Aggie the Agatator (catchy?) has to also create a dramatic family history. If she does not have a drama filled family, she can always borrow a friends family story and use it as her own.

Eminem can sing about Aggie and her hate towards the world in one of his songs.

Shane Dawson can makes spoofs of Aggie.

Playstation will request game consultations with you, because you will master all games and game devices.

The Agatator will need a private plane, since she won't be able to deal with the public and because she won't be able to fit into a normal one.

Eventually the Agatator will have to check herself into Celebrity Rehab for the abuse of food. Which will end in drama.

Aggie will say retarded things a la Mariah Carey you'll say retarded things.

Perez can host Agatators events, if it turns out to be necessary to add extra drama.

Several pea-brained hot models with be Agators boyfriend's. They will take half-naked pictures of themselves which will leak onto the internet, hence causing more drama leading to the increase of her book sales.

Aggie will demand an OBESITY Conference with the United nations, to eliminate the discrimination against extremely-super-obese people.

Of course Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama are going to be present to discuss this important issue.

Through-out all of this, the Agatator will act her part as the apathetic, emotional celebrity.

THIS is how Aggie will buy her first mansion in Italy.

Instead...

Really, social networks advertisement surprises me. "Perfect Maternal gifts" should not be cheap looking necklaces but rather vaginal rejuvenation. Seriously, what are you going to do with a plastic necklace when you got a screaming baby on your hands?

When she was blonde.

Aggie was a smurf all along.

And she has been a smurf all along.

Such a busy month

I'm 20 years old.

Shannon's dog. Ingersoll!

Niagara Falls!

Toronto

Sak came to visit

Busy busy busy

:)

October is Birthday Month

I am nominating October as the Ultimate Birthday Month. I have several reasons:

1. It's my birthday on the 17th of October.
2. I am now the proud owner of The Space Tourist's Handbook, thanks to Crazy Hair Aggie, also known as my fiancé. My life had no meaning before this.
   
3. I'm going whale watching the first weekend with Simone and Naru.
   
4. Sak is coming to visit next Wednesday, meaning I will celebrate my B-day with his presence AND a have short trip to Toronto.
   
5. I'm going to Ingersoll with Shannon, who offered me to go and visit her hometown AND a trip to the Niagra falls!
   
6. October is also the birthday month of Crazy Hair Aggie.
   
7. We are both turning 20. That is, twenteen.
8. Halloween, hello?

Techno Jesus

If you haven't felt the love of Jesus lately, just listen to some steamy techno. I think it's kind of funny that the sign is in flames and black (resembling nothing very heavenly like...). You got to catch your crowd somehow, right? The conventional "go to church and pray" approach just doesn't seem as appealing to the young crowd of today.

Just the other day Shannon and I walked right into a sign: "Free Personality Test -Scientology". Yeah, really free.

Hey Mister! Don't Touch My Sister!

This Thursday I was on my way to Mambo with my friend Simone, and we saw a parade of women, walking and screaming "Hey Mister! Don't touch my sister!" and "No means No". Not really knowing what specific interest these women shared, I can guess on Feminist Rights or Anti-Sexual Harassment.

Bugs!

Look at these amazing insects! I especially like the first couple of photos...

What made my day today:

An American law firm proclaimed in a 1991 broschure that going up against them in court was "a little like encountering Genghis Khan on the Steppes".

Memories from Sweden

Are you an animal or a bit of an oven?

Youtube madness

So, I can't put up the video's, but please go and listen to these two songs by Chris Cornell: Part of Me and Scream.

Saturday Night

After burning my face off at the park earlier today, my friends and I decided to go to the cinema and watch All About Steve. I only noticed now that my face is bright red and that I am exhausted, as most people are after being exposed to the sun for a long period of time. Time flew by quickly, I was really into my Carnal Crimes - Sexual Assault Law in Canada, 1900-1975 book which was written by my professor... and which I had only one week to read. Thanks to her amazing narration, it has been a pure delight reading about female victims of the Canadian legal system.

The cinema's here are very different to what I'm usually accustomed to. I sometimes wonder if people go to the movie's to actually see a movie or to dine out. They have everything from the normal movie food (popcorn, candy) to stuff like KFC and Tacobell... You really want to sit in the movie's and smell like beans and onion?

Failed Attempt

So my Swedish Delight and Doodle went out last night to Mambo, and we had plenty of sangria, mexican food and random chats about Sweden.


This is me trying to take a photo of a tree close to the market, later on that same night...

Lovely Friday

So, I accidentally met a Swedish girl while paying my residence fees earlier this week. The lady at the counter wasn't sure if I had a credit or a debit card and I was explaining to her that since it's a Swedish card, it's probably different to whatever it was she was accustomed to... While my fee's were being processed, I turn around and get a question thrown straight at me from across the room, "Är du svensk?". At that very moment we decide to meet up some time later this week to fika.

So today, I have been speaking Swedish for a whole 3 hours.. and for the first time in Canada, lol! We both have a hysteria for beads and jewellery, so we went to to the bead store together (I will never get tired going there!) and then she showed me some amazing store's around Ottawa which I haven't noticed before.

Soon I'm meeting up with another friend of mine and I invited my lovely Swede with me. It's a calming thought, knowing that you have nice company.

The Sassy Bead Co.

There is this amazing store in Ottawa called The Sassy Bead Co. and it has EVERYTHING - beads, chains and tools to make jewellery, ornaments, etc.. After carefully going through all the beads offered at the store, I decided that today will be the day when I make a pair of earings for myself. I had an idea of how I wanted them to look like and this store offered all the equipment and help that was needed to create this beauty!

Bah-bah brilliant!

This is absolutely amazing! Not only is this a lovely photo, but it has a jumping sheep in it... and nothing beats a sheep. Ever. Sheep are the best.

Thank you, Aggie, for sharing this beauty with me.

My Girl Likes to Party All The Time

I think this girl knows how to party! Towards 1 am this creature passed out on the shabby seats of "Le Volt", calmly drooling to the beats of Ying Yang Twins. Can a night possibly end better than to "To the window, to the wall, To the sweat drop down my balls"? Cheers to all those who know how to party.

Sensuous Summer

I don't know.. more like psychedelic summer.
I found this picture will trying to find a photo of the advertisement of the new perfume I want to get. And this was far more interesting. I do love what the yellow does to this picture.

Lamb-meat

Best Ice Cream... ever!


Don't swallow IT!


If you are exhausted of classic literature...


I can barely hold a guitar, not to mention play one...


Buy this for your kid. Do it. Do it!

Settling In

So, today I had my first class when I felt completely helpless and just plain stupid. I was sitting in my first class of Private Law and not only did I feel a little lost in what she was saying (even though I did the required reading for that class) but it was also the words and the concepts that the teacher was explaining. I might have panicked a bit, but I though "I'll go home and do the require reading and see if it makes more sense". Never have I been so wrong. This damn book, my MAIN course material, which by the way, costs $100, was the most confused piece of academic literature I have ever held in my hands. And I have held many, many, boring and misleading books. It was supposed to be a 20 page read about Conflict Law and Constitution (this should have served as a warning), but when I began reading, I realized that I was reading the same sentence over and over again, manically in a desperate attempt at understanding what the author was on about. I hope that the Professor will make more sense in class when she unravels this topic, but right now I just feel extremely scared for what is awaiting in me in the end of my term - a 7 hour take-home exam and this wonderful subject. I really hope it turns out to be something understandable and logical. Otherwise I am so.... you know what word.

Anyways, enough anxiety talk. I went out for dinner with my floor mates - it was really nice. I got to know the people I live with and I don't feel completely alone or lost or whatever.

I feel that I should be more aware of things happening around me, but the idea of checking all these endless websites and being constantly up-to-date feels a little overwhelming right now. I just want to go with the flow and it feels like I have things stopping that.

I went on an amazing bike ride yesterday around Ottawa. My friend Vincent just took me around the area and I got to see all the different sides the city has to offer. I'm probably going to rent a bike again until it gets too cold here.

Nature Girls!

Take a look at the red shoes!




Weirdest roof so far.


This was a shelter for cats.
