Pernille's Little World

At the mall & A Christmas Carol

2009-11-08T01:12:00.003+01:00

Yesterday Maria and I went to the mall in Fort Smith while Vickie visited Brandie at the hospital.

But after a while it got kinda tired of it, cuz I'm a biiiig shopping fan.. (-_-")

So we walked around and looked at random stuff but didn't buy anything.

Until we met Tori, Carrie and her two little boys. They asked us if we wanted to come to the movies with them, and of course we would!

So we went with them up to the theatre in Fort Smith and watched "A Christmas Carol" in 3D. That was really cool, and it felt like the snowflakes were goin to hit my eyes. I also got scared a lot xD But I liked it very much, and I recommend others to see it too ^^

After the movie we went to WalMart and I bought new Christmas ear rings ;D

They jingle xD

Today we cleaned the house and relaxed
Maria and I also ran around the house xD That was kinda fun ;D

Crazy hat/hair day

2009-10-27T23:37:00.008+01:00

Worked more on my facs project too :)

Had some fun taking pictures there today, so u guys can see ^^

They moved Brandie to Fort Smith last night..

Hope she's doing better soon.. "/

Pajama-day =D

2009-10-27T00:07:00.003+01:00

Today we had pajama day at school! ^^

Everybody dressed up in their pj's an wore them to school =p

We also started our FACS project today =D

I'm making pj pants ;D

Good Morning Sunshine

2009-09-02T12:42:00.002+02:00

I'm really weird.. I woke up 5 o'clock this morning xD I could have slept for 40 more minutes, but I just felt like waking up =p

Why does that happen sometimes? Why not everyday?
Usually I try to lay in bed as long as possible, and then I find out I have like.. 15 min to get everything ready xD

I think it's up to you. You just have to decide and tell yourself; today I'm going to wake up as soon as the alarm goes off.

Like today, or last night, I decided to wake up 5 o'clock today. And I believed I would, that's an important issue.

So this morning I opened my eyes when the alarm went off and just stood up, without thinking about it. It's easier then, and when your out of the bed it's easier to think about bathroom and other stuff than when you lie in bed. Then it's easy to think: "Just a few more minutes". (I do it all the time xD)

The key is to not go back in bed after you stood up. That can be a really hard test sometimes, but if you pass the test u will feel much better ^^

Anyone who have some good advice to get up in the morning?

Btw, this was a part of my FACS assignment xD I don't think it was really good, but it was something xD There was more to it, but I can't remember everything right now, cause it's 6 o'clock in the morning.. o.O The assignment was to solve problems.. And I have problems in the morning, so she gave me this one xD I also had one about picking the right cereal at WalMart xD And you have NOW IDEA how hard that can be! xD

Ghaaah!!!! Which direction? Which direction?!?! Help...T_T

2009-08-03T17:26:00.004+02:00

Today I got my departure info ^^,

I have to be at Gardermoen 4 am on thursday :p (Early.. =_=")

First I will take a plane to Frankfurt, switch plan and go to Chicago. There I'll have to wait 4 hour before a new plane goes to Memphis. And from Memphis I will go to the airport in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where my new family will pick me up ^^,

So please! Everyone have to pray for me, cause I have no, and I meen NOTING AT ALL, no sense of direction!! =S And the airport in Frankfurt is the largest airport in Europe! What am I going to do if I get lost?!?! =O =S

How is it going to end, with my bad sense of direction, switching plane 4 times!!!

*Crying in desperation*..

Haha, just kiddin' ;D I think it will work out fine ^^;

But wish me luck! ^_^,

See ya =p

My American Fairytale

2009-08-01T18:25:00.005+02:00

New blog everyone! (If there is anyone who reads my blog..o.O)

Anyway!

Check out this adress if you want to follow my year in the states ^^;

http://oklahoma-fairytale.blogspot.com/

Just to let you know: It's in Norwegian! This way I can't forget my language xD

And something else: I bought a laptop today ^^,

It's sooooo cute! ^^,

As you can see it's very little, so I can easly use ity on the plane ^^,

It's an Acer Aspire One D250 =p

I also talked with my hostmother on the phone today =D

She's such a lovely person! ^^,

I can't wait to meet her! :D :D :D

Oklahoma, yey ^^,

2009-07-29T19:30:00.003+02:00

Yeey!!! I got a hostfamiliy today! ^^, At a place called Poteau in Oklahoma =D
My High School starts at August 13, which means I don't have much time. Because of that I have only a week to prepare everything! And I don't even know the exact departure date! =O It's August 5 or 6. And before that I have to pay the embassy a visit. But I can't go there without an appointment. I was supposed to come there the 10th, but since I'm leaving 5th or 6th I have to make a new one.. =_="

Anyways, I'm going to live with an old couple and I'm going to have a "sister". She's also an excange student, but from Switzerland (or how it is spelled..)

I have a lot to do!

BTW, I'm going to create a new "special" blog about my year in Oklahoma (it feels soooo good to finally be able to say where I'm going ^^)

Aaaaaand! I'm going to (maybe) buy my own laptop tomorrow! ^^ Yeeeeey!!!! =D =D =D

Maybe next time I'll blog from America, from MY OWN laptop ^^ =p

See ya! :p

Nice to meet you, daddy's computer!

2009-06-25T23:36:00.003+02:00

Long time since last time I blogged! :O

But I haven't had a computer to use, and I've been ill, so.. No excuses.. =_=''

Anyway, this weekend I'm going to a motorcycle.. thing? xD It's like a camp.. with motorcycles xD

Going to write about it when I get home ;p

Norbert is sooo cute! He's packed and ready ^^ Have to show a picture of him next time =p

Bought him some new bags (or what I should call them) earlier today. They're supposed to be used on bicycles, but since Norbert is small they fit him perfectly ^^,

Benedicte and daddy are riding Benedicte's bike, so they don't have any space left to their sleepingbags, so Norbert and I have to take one extra, and mom one too. That's why Norbert looks so funny xD

Now I'm only writing crap xD

=_=''

...

That's all for now!
(Have to go, cause I'm using my daddy's computer. And if he finds me here he's going to be mad, because I'm supposed to help with cleaning the kitchen and stuff before we go tomorrow.. xD)

Improvisation

2009-06-11T10:52:00.003+02:00

Role play

Today is our last "normal" day at school, since my class is finish on Monday ^^

That means this was our last last English lesson, and Lena wanted to do something special:

She divided us into groups, and gave each group a situation. Then we had 5 minutes to set up a role play before we had to present it to the rest of the class.

She wanted to see how we managed to improvise.. :p

My group was Jannicke, June, EJ and me. I was supposed to be an exchange student named Lars, and the others were my super weird host family. The father (June) was tired of the city life and wanted to move and live in the mountain with no phones, no Internet and no modern technology. The mother (EJ) agreed with everything the father said and adored him, and "she" overdid it extremely. Their daughter Jane (Jannicke) was anti-social and pretended I wasn't there.

It was fun xD

The new Ronan Keatings

I think some of the boys in my class are a little fond of boy bands.. xD

They thought it was fun to improvise, so they figured they wanted to do a song.

Here they are; Joakim, Morten, Christoffer og Nils Arne ;p

(Sorry about the poor quality..=_=")

Home, sweet home

2009-06-10T09:57:00.004+02:00

Last night, after I checked on Fighter I went for a little walk. And; wow, I'm really going to miss my home! Not just my family and pets and motorcycle, but the whole place too!

I actually began to cry when I thought about leaving our farm, the beautiful sunset we can watch over Glomma and the fresh air. Little things I've learned to love ^^

You know, I feel kind of like Becky in the Mustang Mountain Series. When she first came to Mustang Mountain Ranch she hated it and was sure she would never feel at home there in the deserted place with no neighbors in miles range.

But when she had to be away from the ranch one year, she missed it badly. And I think I'm going to be that way too in the beginning. Maybe even the whole year, I don't know :p

First I hated the rural place, now I love it ^^

If I end up in a city or a town in USA it's going to be weird and a little exciting :p I don't remember how it is to live in a town, I'm too used to live on a farm now ;p

Haha! Suddenly my home has its own post xp

The sun is shining and life goes on

2009-06-08T10:24:00.006+02:00

Many things have happened since last time; some good things, some tragic things..

The good things first:

---------------

Good things

---------------

Pentecostal weekend:
--------
We were at a camp with our church at a very nice place called Ytterbøl ^^

Emeli:
--------
From Wednesday to Thursday I spend the night at Emeli's place.
First she came with me to our church after school on Wednesday ^^
Emeli also has drivers licence, but her bike doesn't go faster than 50 km/h..
I think it made 60 once, when we drove downhill.
THAT was a little challenge, but it wasn't so bad, I thought it would be harder :p
We used an old, deserted road, so we drove most by ourselves : )

Summer
--------
The summer is finally here! ^^,
Just one week left at school before the summer vacation;
One week left in 1SDT (my class ;p)
Looking forward to a nice summer with my beloved Norbert :p (xD)

-----------------

Bad things

-------------------

Mozart
--------
Mozart, my cat, died on Wednesday..
He got run over by the neighbors hay cutter and died momentary, with no pain

R.I.P Mozart, we miss you

Fighter
--------
Fighter, my horse got colic this weekend
He just wanted to lay down, and we couldn't get him up.
When he finally stood up, I had to walk with him until the veterinary came, cause he wanted to lay down over and over again.
If I had let him he could have got volvulus.

The veterinary came and gave him some medicine intravenous.
It was a little scary.. Fighter began to bleed.. :S

But he's much better now.
I still have to check on him all the time, and he can't join the others at the pasture, but there's no danger anymore, and that's good.

The first night I didn't get any sleep:
First I was with him from the morning (when I found him) to 8 pm
After a little replacement, from 8 pm to 9 pm, I was back in business
About midnight I went inside, but 3 am I had to check on him again.
I got some sleep, and then went out 7 am and stayed with him until the rest of my family woke up.

To summarize my weekend in one word:
Hectic!

Laptop
--------
I can only keep my laptop one more week, then I have to return it to school.. -.-'
I don't have a computer my own, so now I have to borrow one.. =_=''

I want my own laptop! T_T

Yawn..

2009-05-28T09:28:00.003+02:00

Late

I woke up this morning with the feeling that something wasn't right.. It took me 30 seconds to realise that I had slept too long and that I was going to be late for school.

I got 20 minutes late to school.. =_='

But we were still watching that movie in Social Studies, nothing very important

English

Still watching Brave heart.

I really like that movie ^^

Mel Gibson fits that role very well, he's a good actor

And I like their accent ^^

It's so cool ;p

Short Day

We have a short day at school today

We're just going to have Math, and then we're finished

After school I'm going to take a walk, watch a clip of twilight, a clip of Pride & Prejudice and then pack my bag, since we're going to this.. camp.. this weekend, with our church ^^

The Movie Day

2009-05-26T09:49:00.003+02:00

My day today:

Spanish

We watched a movie in Spanish, and it was really scary.. :S

It was a horror movie called El orfanato, or The Orphanage in English.

Un cuento de amor. Una historia de terror - A tale of love. A story of horror

Plot summary:

The former orphan Laura raises her adopted son Simón with her husband Carlos in an old house and former orphanage where she was raised. Simón is HIV positive and tells Laura that he has five invisible friends, and she believes they are fruit of his imagination. Laura decides to reopen an orphanage for handicapped children in the location and during the opening party, Simón calls her to show the little cabin of his friend Tomás. The busy Laura does not gives much attention to her son; then she sees a mysterious masked boy and Simón vanishes. Laura feels the presence of other persons in the house and months later, the desperate Laura invites a team of parapsychologists to try to unravel the mystery.

(Taken from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464141/plotsummary)

Social Studies

We're watching a movie here too;

A Norwegian one called "Kunsten å tenke negativt"

I guess it's something like "The ability of thinking negative" in English.. :p

(If you want to know the plot, you can google it or something)

Information meeting with EF

After school mom and I are going to Moss.

It's an information meeting about my year in the States ^^

The big question is; are we going to find the hotel where it's held?

Mom's sense of locality are about the same as mine, maybe even worse.. :S

So, there's a big possibility that we might end up in a totally different place, and that can be a

problem!

But I'm sure we're going to work it out! ^^

That's all for today I think! :p

See ya! ;D

I love grass cutters in the sun ;D

2009-05-23T15:48:00.008+02:00

I've decided to get more order in my blog, so I'm going to try out a new thing today ;p

Birthday

Carine had a birthday party yesterday ^^ This is everyone who were there :p

Trampe

I took a walk with Trampe in the beautiful sunshine ^^
(He's my rabbit if you didn't understand it)

Grass Cutter

I'm cutting the lawn ;p

Me on our grass cutter :)

(Is that the correct word?Is it a word at all? o.O)

Perfect Weather

The weather is just PERFECT today ^^
I think Fighter (my horse) enjoy the sun too :)

Actually, the weather is too nice to waste at blogging, so I'm going to move my butt out to the grass cutter again! (That's my favourite word at the moment.. ;p)

See ya! ^^

2009-05-22T13:53:00.006+02:00

Hi!

Haven't had much time to blog lately, cause there's been so much to think about. Exam for instance. My class was the only one at our grade that had to take the exam.. -.-' But I think it went pretty well ^^ The topic was 'visiting, studying or working in an English-speaking country', so I felt I had a benefit there, since I'm going to study in the US next school year :p

But I said I was going to post some photos from our national day ^^

My family went to Oslo, our capital city, something we've never done before. Partly because I played in my school's marching band and partly because we've never felt the.. need, or what I should say, to go to a crowded place instead of being with our family and have a barbecue.

But this year we did, and we went to see the King and Queen wave to the parade ;p

Here are some photos ^^:

Because of the parade most of the streets were closed, so to get to where we wanted, we literally had to climb to get there.. Not the easiest thing to do while wearing our national dress, Bunad, like they're doing at this photo.

Jonathan didn't want to go to Oslo, so he was at Grandma's place instead. But mom, daddy and Benedicte was there ^^

Daddy wore his hat ;p

The King and Queen waved to us

---------------

Can't use more time on blogging today, have to get back to work! I'm tidying the house, and if I'm going to be finished before I go to Carine's birthday party I have to speed up a little!

---------------

Here's a little video from Norway's national day last year.
(We were much luckier with the weather this year :p)

Bloodtype and Jane Austen

2009-05-18T09:06:00.004+02:00

We're blood typing in Science right now ^^
(Little scary.. :S)
I have type A.. -.-' It's the most common type in Norway, and I don't like that! I want to be special! xD Ha Ha (just kiddin' ;p)

By the way, I'm in a little Jane Austen phase at the moment xD
I just love Pride & Prejudice ^^
I like Sense & Sensibility too, but there's just something about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy ^^

Well, that's all for now! Maybe (if I'm not too lazy) I'm going to tell how my May 17 was, maybe.. xD

See ya later! :p

twilight-obsessed mothers are something you never get tired of watching

2009-05-13T10:04:00.006+02:00

Today I drove Norbert to school for the first time in almost one and a half week! :O

I don't have any gasoline left, so I just hope I'll make it to the gas-station after school.. :S

Lovely weather today! One look out the window is all that needed to make me smile ^^

When I get home I'm going to grab my book and a quilt and lay down on the gras to study :p

Have an English oral presentation tomorrow, and it's kind of important, cause my grade depends on it.

Anyways, we have sort of a "twilight-wave" at home right now xD Moma is almost obsessed right now. Last night we watched the movie, and about five minutes after the end mom looked at me with such a look in her eye that it made me want to laugh, and asked in a funny pleading voice; "Can we see the part when they meet again? When he has that sexy glare?"

Haha, it all ended with her watching the movie. Again xD And when Benedicte demanded to watch Paradise Hotel, mom sat there impatient and waited for it to end. I almost expected to hear her foot tapping xD

On Sunday, after the confirmation, the entire family sat and watched twilight on a big screen in the living room. Yes, my daddy likes it too xD

The funny part is that mom is the one to ask about the movie all the time, cause before she saw it she really hated it. She didn't understand how the books could keep me up at night because I couldn't stop read xD Ha ha :p

When I asked what she likes about the movie she told me it was the intensity of his stares, and the way he can't stay away from Bella. One of her favoriteparts is when they're at the diner and Edward says: "I don't have the strenght to stay away from you anymore" ^^, I like that part too :p

Wow.. I wrote a long post! :O Maybe because it's so beautiful outside and I'm in a good mood ^^ Plus, we have Norwegian right now, and to be honest, this is the most boring subject in the world! I love math in comparison! We have something to do in math! In Norwegian we just sit here.. and the teacher is talking.. and because I think it's so amazingly boring I don't get a thing of what he's saying.. >.<

Let me out! Please! *Shake my computer*

Hm.. I'm surprisingly awake.. I didn't get to bed last night till 4.30 am and got only two hours of sleep.. But I'm not so tired I thought I was going to be.. I had to do my Geography project.. T_T

No, now I'm going to stop bugging you!

If you have read all this you should get a medal ^^

See ya later, alligator! :D

New hair ^^,

2009-05-12T13:07:00.007+02:00

I forgot to tell you: I've cut my hair! ^^ yey! ^^
Now my hair is about 25 cm shorter! :O

I really don't have anything else to write about.. Though I wish I had, cause Tuesday Norwegian lessons are always boring.. =_='

Anyways, have to go now.. Norwegian to do T_T

Feels like the day is never going to end.. Gaah! >.<

----------

My new hair :^_^:
(Wow, I look pale.. O.o)

Twin-confirmation

2009-05-11T12:51:00.003+02:00

My brother and sister had their confirmation yesterday ^^

First they had this kind of show (which was really good ;p) and then we went home to our place where we ate and had fun. I played violin by the way xD I think I did well, cause no one looked like I'd ruined their day ^^

I also cried a lot, (no shock there xD) though it only was tiny things, like my brother singing and my sister smiling while dancing in front of nearly 700 people. But it was when their.. teacher? Oh, what ever. We call him that xD

So, their teacher wanted to say something about people that had made an impression on him through the year, and he mentioned my brother ^^ So beautiful! ~^_^~

I even started to cry when the "teachers" were praying for them xD Ha ha xD

But, anyways: they got around 27 000 NOK each :O Twin-confirmation was kind of fun :p

Thank you SO MUCH Madeleine for helping us out! ^^

------------

I'm going to add some photos later ^^

Emotional Me..

2009-05-06T13:57:00.003+02:00

Some times it's good to be emotional; other times not so good. In school for instance, while watching a movie or reading a book. It sure would look weird if I suddenly start to cry..
And if I'm trying NOT to cry, I have to concentrate so hard that I don't hear or see things around me, cause it's a really strong feeling to me, which is hard to hold back.

This happened this morning, and since I don't wear waterproof makeup it would have looked really weird..

See, we watched a Norwegian movie called "Buddies", and at some of the scenes I had a hard time not to cry. It took almost all my concentration and I ended up missing some of the things that happened =_='

The problem is that I can't watch a movie (or read a book) without being really in to it, and when I do I don't sense things around me and I forget the time.. (Yes; I'm crazy.. >.<)

So I can't appreciate stories unless I'm alone or in a cinema where it's dark and no one interrupts..

So, since I liked the movie, I'm going to rent it and watch it at home, where I can release my emotions and not feel embarrassed afterwards :p

Where are you, sense of locality?

2009-05-04T11:11:00.005+02:00

My weekend:

Friday I actually used most of the day to tidy my room ;p
We didn't have school, so I had all day ~^^~
And I finally got curtains! We've lived here for two years (I think) but I didn't get curtains until now :p (I'm weird O.o)

Saturday morning daddy, Benedicte and I went to Fredrikstad on our motorcycles. Daddy and I were going to work at a drag race called Street Legal.

I drove with them some of the way, but they were so slow (and I don't have any patience when it comes to driving slow) so I took off on my own. And I'm actually very proud, cause I found the way all by myself though I have a terrible sense of locality.. :p I just drove the wrong way once! ^^

But before Street Legal started we were at Planke MC in the center of Fredrikstad.

I tested how many horse powers Norbert has. His back wheel has 18, so they said it's about 25 in the engine.. What's legal is.. 15? *whistle*..

Then we went to Street Legal and I worked there from 2 pm to about 7 pm

I was supposed to work a little longer, but Stine called and asked if I wanted to come to her place together with some friends. I haven't seen her in two years or so, so I really wanted to go. Daddy was an angel and said I could just go ^^

And on my way back, from Fredrikstad to Heia (where Stine lives), I just drove the wrong way three times! ^^ Go, go Pernille! xD

Østfoldbadet

2009-04-24T09:01:00.003+02:00

Yesterday, right after Madeleine and I left the library, we went to Østfoldbadet. We hadn't planned to go there, but I had two free tickets which had to be used yesterday ^^

Madeleine got interviewed for the local newspaper yesterday :) She laughed a lot xD
I also rented The Lord of the Ring. I think I'm the only person in Norway that hadn't seen it yet xD

But back to Østfoldbadet. It was fun! (Østfoldbadet is a swimming hall in Askim by the way) We saw a lot of weird people xD

Now we're watching "Bonanza" in English class ;D

Later :p

Norbert, Violin & Library

2009-04-23T15:30:00.004+02:00

I'm at the library right now ^^ With Madeleine :p

I've just had my violin lesson (or Benedicte's xD) Actually very fun! ;D
Before we got there, Madeleine and I drove around a little with Norbert.. We didn't have a specific place to drive to, we just.. went where the wind blow xD (And it's blowing a lot outside, so it was a little difficult to drive -.-' But! As the perfect driver I am, it was a piece of cake =D (Just kiddin' xD)

But I don't really have anything more to write about, so I'll just end it here xD

See ya later, Alligator! =)

I want to yawn sleep

2009-04-22T09:33:00.015+02:00

I'm just posting some photos, cause I'm too lazy to blog today xD
There's been a lot of important tests lately, so.. *yawn*.. :p

By the way: check out this blog; http://bloggbuddies.blogg.no/
I think they would be very happy if you did xD

Mom and Dad

Benedicte bought a motorcycle last week ^^
An Aprilia rs 125 ccm :)

Norbert and GPZ

Norbert ^^

A magic dude who visited our church this Sunday.. I think he called himself Timian or something

(He was a little weird, but funny in a way)

You are what you eat

2009-04-20T10:31:00.004+02:00

After I saw a television program called "You are what you eat" last week I got so sick, so now I only eat healthy food.. It was so.. so... SCARY! xD

So now I'm eating salads and whole-grain bread xD But I guess it's going to pass soon.. I'm too addicted to junk food =p xD

Lady and the Tramp

2009-04-14T18:49:00.003+02:00

Oh, I just LOVE that story! ^^

I thought; hm.. I think I'm going to watch it!
So I did. But that wasn't enough, so I watched the second movie as well xD

What a lovely love story ^^

The Tramp ^^ He's sooooo cool! ^^

-----------------------

Bella Notte ^^

English version:

Or Norwegian version ^^:

Benedicte & Jonathan = 15 + 15

2009-04-14T11:30:00.013+02:00

Hi again! ^^

I'm in a gooood mood today =P Weird, actually, cause today is the first day at school after the Easter vacation.

But my brother and sister became 15 today ^^ (Yes, they're twins xD)

Mom, dad and I woke up early this morning and sang birthday songs :D

We celebrated their birthday two days ago, though :P

My brother, Jonathan. He got a balloon with his name on it xD

Because I'm going to the U.S. next year I can't use all my money, so I figured I could lend Benedicte Norbert as a birthday present, cause she's been nagging about that for a very long time. So when I let her drive him around our barn she was super thrilled.

Here you can see; proud, because she was so good at driving

But then something happened: seconds after this photo was taken she tipped over and fell

So, from this photograph, taken right after the accident, you can see she's a little tensed..:

But I let her drive some more, cause it's the same as with horse riding: if you fall off, you have to get right back in the sable again if you don't want to be scared later. The bike can't take control! You're the one with control! xD

Only two more things to say:

- Happy birthday Benedicte ^^

- Happy birthday Jonathan ^^

Independence Day

2009-04-10T00:45:00.003+02:00

One of my favourite movies are "Independence Day" by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich.

I just finished watching it right now, and like I do in every movie/book, whatever, that make an impression on me, I cry. I just can't stop cry. But that's because I'm so freakin' emotional! The tiniest thing affects my heart and I start to cry..

But I think it's kind of nice in a good way. It means I have feelings! :D

Alright, enough of my emotions, and back to the point: the movie.

What I think is the best part of the movie is the President's speech before they attack the spacecraft. It gives me goosebumps.. I think it's really good ^^

---------------------------------

---------------------------------

Summary:

On July 2nd, communications systems worldwide are sent into chaos by a strange atmospheric interference. It is soon learned by the military that a number of enormous objects are on a collision course with Earth. At first thought to be meteors, they are later revealed to be gigantic spacecraft, piloted by a mysterious alien species. After attempts to communicate with the aliens go nowhere, David Levinson, an ex-scientist turned cable technician, discovers that the aliens are going to attack major points around the globe in less than a day. On July 3rd, the aliens all but obliterate New York, Los Angeles, and Washington. The survivors set out in convoys towards Area 51, a strange government testing ground where it is rumored the military has a captured alien spacecraft of their own. The survivors devise a plan to fight back against the enslaving aliens, and July 4th becomes the day humanity will fight for its freedom. July 4th is their Independence Day...

Water

2009-04-09T18:06:00.002+02:00

I'm so glad the Spring is finally here ^^

It's water EVERYWHERE! But it's OK ^^

Actually I'm kind of fascinated of water.. You know, the sea and stuff

Water can have so many shapes and colors. It's kind of mysterious too..

Here's a picture I've edited: (I have to admit that I'm a little smug, cause I'm not good at this, but I think it's pretty good ^^ (to be me))

Library Forever

2009-04-07T18:35:00.005+02:00

Today Norbert (my beautiful motorcycle) and I took a trip to the library. I have a school project I must finish and the library is a perfect and quiet place to study ^^ And they have some books I need :p

I really like the library! You can just sit there and read a book without being disturbed, or just think. They have so many books, and you can take whichever you want and read it. They also have computers you can borrow :D

Yeah, I think I'm in love with the library. The library in Mysen. I'm not a big fan of the library in Askim, nor Skiptvet. I've been in the library in Trøgstad too. It seemed OK, but I don't think it can be compared with Mysen ;p

Things I've been doing lately

2009-04-05T21:02:00.013+02:00

OK, so here's some of the things I've been doing since last time:

March 31

School.. Math.. =_=

Dinner at Grandma's; Fish sticks ^^

-----------------------------------------------

April 1

Went to the culture house were we met some cool people..

..and Askim Janitsjar (Janissary) had a Broadway-concert

Aleksander played a really good solo =D

------------------------------------------------

April 3

We went to Sarpsborg to get Benedicte a dress.
Streets of London has a lot of dresses

After some shopping we ate at McDonald's.
Well.. The rest of my family ate there, though. I prefer Chinese food ;p

------------------------------------------------

April 4

Our church had a sixties-night and it was just AWESOME! =D
This is Sunniva BTW. She got elected as the best dressed girl of the night ^^

Benedicte and I were swing partners, and we won the contest! :O
Isn't she cute? ^^

Lise looks like a real 60's-girl :p

------------------------------------------------

April 5

As a tradition in our church we have "Ester breakfast" every year on Palm Sunday.
Delicious food.. *drool*

Of course we sang too; we're a Pentecostal Church for crying out loud!

My egg cup ^^

After breakfast we went to take a look at my mom's new workplace..

They're renovating right now ^^ It's going to be a spa ^^

When we got home I spent some time with Fighter ^^

I'm really going to miss the horses while I'm abroad..

They're so beautiful ^^

------------------------------------------------

I just have to add that I don't like Blogspot right now.. The pictures and text never gets right!

So if it looks weird, don't be mad OK?

English VS Math

2009-03-30T10:51:00.008+02:00

I want to show you how my schooldays are like!
Here's my subjects with teachers:

Today I want to tell about my math teacher and my English teacher:
-----------------------------------

Lena

Lena is my English teacher. She loves to tease my math teacher Svend (below) and after every
lesson (when she knows that we will have math afterwards) she doesn't dry off the blackboard, cause she know that this goes on his nerves.

Svend

Svend is my Math teacher. He don't like my English teacher, and before every math lesson he goes out to get a sponge so he can dry off the blackboard, while he mutters something like "stupid English teacher"...

Spanish & Vaccine

2009-03-27T11:24:00.007+01:00

I'm going to Spanish soon. I'm really looking forward to see Åsbjørg (my Spanish teacher) again!
... Yeah, right! xD

We have this kind of project going on, so I'm NOT looking forward to go to class! Oral presentation; in SPANISH?! I'm not THAT good! T_T

But because I love Åsbjørg so much I'm going to dedicate this post to her. To honor her hard work. I'm also going to add a little drawing of her, so you can see what she looks like.

But I have to leave Spanish around 1.15 pm, 'cause I'm going to take a vaccine again.. :S
Wish me luck! ^^

The Butter Choice

2009-03-25T13:03:00.005+01:00

Here in Norway we have this problem when it comes to buy food; which butter to choose. Cause we have so many different types of butter. It's really annoying T_T

My family always argue when we're in the store, cause I want one type of butter (Soft flora), mom and Benedicte one type (Brelett) and dad and Jonathan one third type (Bremykt).

This butter-problem is enough to start a fight at my house. (Please, do NOT jump to the conclusion that my family fights about the most tiny, stupid things in the world or that we never agree on anything and are mad at each other all the time xD)

Why can't it just be one type of butter that everybody likes? It would make everything much easier! :D Especially when we're at the store!

Norbert Sven Rolf

2009-03-24T11:45:00.006+01:00

Today I want to write about my beautiful and fantastic motorbike Norbert.

He's a Honda NSR 125 ccm, 1998 model, and I love him sooooo much ^^
His full name is Norbert Sven Rolf, but I just call him Norbert, cause the full name is too long, and I'm too lazy.. =p

I drove him for the first time this year on Thursday ^^ Yeeeeey!!! :D :D Perfect ^^

I don't have time to write more.. (Norwegian to do.. T_T) But you can see a photograph of my little beauty here:

----------------

For a few days now I've had this Beach Boys-song in my head.. It wont go away! xD

The Beach Boys - Little Honda

Spring, come to me

2009-03-18T12:44:00.002+01:00

Finally the spring is here! ^^

I've been waiting so long for it! :D

The winter was too long..

But beautiful though

Here's a photograph from outside my house in the end of February :p

Beautiful isn't it? ^^

Graff and Books

2009-03-18T09:08:00.002+01:00

Now I'm pretending to do my Geography.. But I want to write in my blog instead ^^ We're supposed to do some research on earthquakes and cyclones, but that's just boring, so.. :p

Later today I'm taking Grandma to Graff! I haven't had a chance to give her a birthday present yet (her birthday was in the beginning of February..) and she don't want anything expensive, so I'm going to buy her a good cup of coffee or whatever she wants :D She agreed that this was a good idea, cause then we have time to talk too ^^

I want to read a good book! Something I haven't read! Suggestions anyone? I'm reading American history, but I want to read something else too.. I have to try to not just read the Twilight-saga.. :p Or "You Can Never Go Back Again" which is an extremely good book ^^ It's still my favorite, when it comes to single books. The Twilight-saga is four books.. Five if you count Midnight Sun in.. So I think it's not the same thing.. Though I love them both very much ^^

What's your favorite book? Do you have a favorite book?? I want to know! :D

See ya later, alligator! ^^

Horse riding, Grandpa, etc..

2009-03-16T08:12:00.006+01:00

I know I've been sloppy lately with my blogging, but now I'm going to let you know short what I've been doing lately..

First of all; it's been a lot of application stuff. Since I'm going on an exchange year it's a lot I have to do. Taking vaccines for instance. (The Hepatitis B vaccine is one of the most terrible vaccines I've ever taken.. :S)

Benedicte and I began horseback riding two weeks ago and now we're doing it every Monday. I didn't remember how fun it was! :D

Besides that we have school and homework and duties at home. I've also been reading and thinking a lot.

March 14 my Grandpa became 70 years old, and we held a little party for him. We ate pizza from Go'biten and a little too much cake :p

Today we're going to the horses again! I'm really looking forward to it! ^>^

--------

Here's Grandpa when we woke him up in the middle of the night on his birthday and him his present from mom and dad. He didn't believe that they gave him a trip to Croatia.. :p

2009-03-13T08:54:00.002+01:00

I don't know why I'm using my computer right now, cause my head is aching and this definitely don't help.. But I have to use it English, so I guess I can write in my blog now since it's been a while :p

Tomorrow Grandpa turns 70, so we're going to have a party to celebrate him, though he doesn't want to.. (Like he has a choice xD). And we've bought many nice gifts! Benedicte and I spent about 950 NOK on our present. Mom and dad some thousands I guess.. The neighbours used a lot too! 10 000 or so put together! :O

Tonight we're going to brake into their house and decorate while they sleep ^>^ And when we're finished (if we don't make to much noise and wake them up) we're going to surprise them with songs and cake :D

Thoughts

2009-03-05T09:46:00.003+01:00

What would you do if you knew someone was going to kill you? Would you ran away, sit and wait or would you fight back? If you were out shopping with your friends and a man came and pointed a gun against one of your friends head and said he was going to kill him/her, would you step forward and say: "Take me instead"?

I couldn't sleep last night, so I had plenty of time to think, and this was one of the things I thought about. Do I have the guts to do such a thing? If it should occur in the future? (I hope it doesn't) Or would I just back out like a coward in the end? I say now that I would take the place instead of my friend, but it's easy to say it now, when all my friends are safe. Am I strong enough to do it if it happens?

Wow, this is kind of scary. I'm deep O.o I think I need to sleep more..

Books and stuff

2009-03-02T10:50:00.004+01:00

OK, now I feel like a nerd... You probably know by now that I'm more than less obsessed with the Twilight-saga. Well, now I've read the saga trough but I can't get enough of it, I still want more! So I thought I as well could read it over again xD
Twilight, the first book, I have read three times or so already, so I almost know it by heart by now xp

But I have to read something else too, so I'm reading about all the American Presidents from George Washington to Barack Obama and American history. I AM a nerd.. >.<

I really enjoy the English lessons nowadays, cause we learn about American politics ^^ It's very interesting!

To get to another subject: I simply HATE snow! Last week I was so happy cause the highways were almost clean from snow, but this morning we had to dig our way to the car. Why?! Why does it snow now? It's March! It's SPRING for crying out loud! T_T

Spring is supposed to be the best season of the year! The snow is gone (or should be gone.. =_='), the birds are coming back, the flowers once again show their beauty, the sound of motorcycles on the road, the air is clean, all the signs of Spring. And, of course; it's a time to fall in love.

In Bambi the movie, it's called "Kvitredilla" in Norwegian. I don't get the English word, but the owl says it in the clip below :p

Oh! I want to see Bambi! ^^ It's one of my favorite children movies :p

Challenge! :)

2009-02-26T08:53:00.003+01:00

Challenge! :)

1. Find a song you like on YouTube.
2. Post the song on your blog.
3. Find the lyrics and post the third line.
4. Why do you like the song?

The third line from the lyrics:
"And save these questions for another day"
(Wow, interesting line.. xD)

I really like this song, it's so beautiful. I don't know exactly why I like the song so much, but it touched my heart. I think the piano in the background is a big part of the reason. So amazingly beautiful!

Yeah, this is my favorite song at the moment. For some reason I couldn't get the original song here, but you can find it here on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKZ34LnzQDM&NR=1

A new day

2009-02-25T08:11:00.001+01:00

Great! Today I arrived school at 7.40 am... Early! T_T

So I have to sit here 50 minutes before school starts. But since I am the first student at school today it's nice and quiet ^^

Yesterday I watched Bolt and High School Musical 3 xD Benedicte downloaded them xD I liked Bolt actually. Though it's a cartoon movie I started to cry :p (But I'm pretty emotional, so.. xD)

Good morning sunshine!

2009-02-23T08:42:00.000+01:00

Wow, I'm in a good mood today! First day at school after a week with holiday. It wasn't so bad to get up early, but I'm feeling little sleepy though.. But it's my own fault! I told myself to go to sleep, but then I found out I wanted to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire.. So I was awake the whole night and watched something I don't even like.. =_o

But I'm in a good mood! Now we're going to have Science, so can't write more! See ya! :p

US and A, here I come :D

2009-02-13T09:02:00.001+01:00

Yey yey yey yey yeeeeey!!!!!! I got accepted! Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah! I'm so happy! ^^ Everything feels much easier now! ^^ In August I'm going to the States! :D

Mum also surprised me yesterday. After I played violin (Benedicte is still ill) we went to Mim, a lovely cafeteria in Mysen and ate. There I met someone I haven't seen for years. It was so nice to see her again! The food tasted really good, and mum paid it all! She also bought me plenty of chocolate and cookies and other stuff. But the huge shock came when she bought me Eclipse, the third book in the Twilight saga. I just; "What's going on? Why are you buying me all this stuff. You don't even like the Twilight saga and you're getting mad when I get to excited while reading it". Then she just looked at me and said she got too much money since her business is running good and she wanted to spend some money. Well, I don't think 1000 is just "some" money. We even bought wigs!

I've read about 200 pages of Eclipse already. It's so thrilling! I want to read more right now! :p

Bowling, Ski, Work ++

2009-02-08T17:06:00.000+01:00

On Friday Amanda, Emmelin and I went to Ski to go bowling after school. I got several strikes! :D After that it was shopping time. I bought a new pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a new bag. All of them was at sale. We also ate at Peppes. (I have a feeling that I've been eating a lot at Peppes lately..) We ate a large pizza all by ourselves, so we had to be hungry! :p

(Pictures coming)

On Saturday my grandmother had birthday, so we were in Mysen and ate more pizza and cakes :D

From Saturday to Sunday I was awake the whole night through to read. I finished New Moon after 2-3 days :p About 600 pages with English ^^

Monday I helped mum out at work and wrote a lot on my short story. I have a feeling that it's going to be a long story.. I've really put my soul in this story, so I hope it turns out good :)

A handful good incidents

2009-02-06T09:39:00.000+01:00

I'm so happy!!! :D:D:D:D Yesterday I bought New Moon, the second book in the Twilight saga ^^ They had the book in Mysen. I've already at page 200 :p I just love it! Though it's a little sad. I have cried while reading a book before, but not as much as I did in this book. I can't wait to read more!

Benedicte plays violin on Thursday,but yesterday she was ill, so I took her lesson. It was actually pretty fun! So we made a deal; I'm going to take every lesson Benedicte can't make. Vladimir, her teacher, said I got talent. (Me, proud? Nooo :p)

Mum and I also ate at Venezia, a restaurant in Mysen. Margarita pizza, just like in Bulgaria :p
And before we went home we paid Kiwi a visit and bought cakes, some muffins and many chocolates :D

Cruel money

2009-02-05T08:39:00.000+01:00

I have a little problem.. I'm writing a short story, but I can't find names to the characters. Suggestions anyone? I need both girl names and boy names. When it comes to things like this I'm hopeless.. It's OK to write the story, that's easy! (Actually, I can't stop when I've first started..)

I'm nervous today.. Math test and eye check :S

I can't describe how much I dislike money. Why do we need money? Which asshole was stupid enough to invent "money"? Everything would be better if we didn't have money. Nowadays people with more money have more power. Everyone want to be rich, get a big house, fancy car and be better than the others. Why? What's so great about it?

I don't want much money. I just want enough money to survive, get a little house and just be happy. Does that make me weird?

What would it be like to have unlimited with money? Would you trust people like before? How can you know if they want to be a friend or just want your money? And if you are a superstar, can you trust people? I don't want to be a superstar. Cause I can't imagine a life with no privacy. I don't want to go on the street being afraid that someone would recognize you. I want to be for myself. Besides, I think I would be cruel if I had unlimited with money. No, I really hate money..

Pajamas party and Twilight obsession

2009-02-02T11:10:00.000+01:00

This has been an interesting weekend. Friday I ditched Gym, cause it was so boring.. So I went to Mysen to visit my Grandparents before I went to Filadelfia, to the pajamas party.

The pajamas party started 9 pm. We had a little meeting before we ate. (Jane made the food by the way). I didn't like the food very much, but I wasn't that hungry either, so..

We had a really good time with many funny games and nice music. But we didn't get too much sleep.. Sunniva and I didn't sleep at all. It was actually the first time Sunniva was awake over 24 hours without sleep, so she was a bit proud ^^

Here's some photos:

This didn't look good.. But Twister is fun :)

On Saturday I went to my grandparents again. I was so tired and fell asleep on their couch, but 10 minutes later I woke up because my other grandmother came (my dads mother). She wanted to take us to Askimtorget. So Jonathan and I went to Askim with her and I bought two bras on sale. We also ate on Peppes.

After that we went home and I got some sleep before we went to the cinema with my grandmother again and watched Twilight. This time I understood much more of the movie since I've read the book. I really enjoyed it ^^ I also met Johanna, one of my classmates from junior high school. I haven't seen her after I began in high school, so it was very nice to see her again.

When I got home Jonathan and I ate fish sticks with noodles and chili sauce. Mom and dad are in Oslo, and Benedicte is with my grandparents (on my mothers side), so it was just the two of us. We got home from the movie about 11 pm, so Jonathan went right to bed after we ate.

I began to read the second book in the Twilight saga. I had decided not to, but I couldn't wait! xD And it's so interesting! Just hope I don't get disappointed when I see the movie.. To be honest I think I'm obsessed with the Twilight saga.. I just love it! It has a special place in my heart ^^

And the second book, New Moon, is great. I've just red one chapter and have already cried once..

Mom and dad came home Sunday. Dad has been in Estonia the whole week before he went to Oslo with mom, so haven't seen him for a long time. He had presents to us from Estonia. I got nail polish. Nice to see him again.

Restlessness

2009-01-28T11:07:00.000+01:00

One of the most disgusting feelings ever known is restlessness. You feel you have nothing to do. You want to do something, but you don't know what. I feel that way right now. It's such a disgusting feeling! I don't want to be here at school. I want to take a long walk in the forest, just sit down and lean against a tree and think. Take some photos and read a good book. And what I want the most is Spring.

I want Spring to come now! Spring is the best season of all; it smells good, beautiful flowers wakes up after a long and cold winter and everyone seems so happy when it's Spring, everything feels so easy, like you can climb every mountain in the world, it feels like you can do everything! The snow is gone and you're feeling free.

But NO! Here it's just comes more snow! Problems and anxiety accumulates and I just want to quit everything! Why do everything come at once? Can't it smooth out a little bit? Right now I simply hate snow, the cold and everything. I need a vacation. Only three weeks till winter vacation..

Now I'm going to stop crying about my own problems and do something about it. And I'm not going to write more about it.

Over to something more cosy: From Friday to Saturday the youths are going to have a pajamas party in our community. I think it will be great. Twilight is also coming to Askim ;D I want to see! :D

---------------

I just wanted to add a clip of the ending of Gegege no Kitaro ^^ I really liked this movie. (Little weird though xD) Here's the Ghost dance.. Wentz Eiji ^^,

Books, Shopping and Movies

2009-01-26T10:08:00.000+01:00

It's been a while now, since I wrote in my blog last time. Many things have happen; Finished the Twilight book, interview with EF, shopping with Madeleine, Fila, Jumper, etc..

So, I'll just start:

It took me three days to finish Twilight. It's about 430 pages with English, so I'm a bit proud ^^, I loved the book! And now I want to see the movie again, cause now I know more because of the book :D

One of my favourite quotes from the book is when Bella get sick in Biology, while taking blood samples. Edward helps her to the nurses room and want her to go home, but Bella don't want to skip the rest of the day. Then Edward says: "It's healthy to ditch class now and then". And I think he's right! I know it's not good to say, but I actually feels a little better when I once in a while ditch class. (But don't think I do it too often! I've only done it a few times xD)

Friday afternoon, at 5 pm it was time for interview. I was sooo nervous at school, cause I wasn't done with the application.. :S But after school Madeleine and I went to this café called Graff. There Madeleine bought me a really good cocoa and helped me with my application.

Here I sit and writes about EF, interview and applications without telling what it's all about. So if you don't know what EF is, read this:

EF Education began in 1965 as a small Swedish company. Their mission: to make it possible for people around the world to communicate with one another across borders, breaking down barriers of language, culture and geography. Now, more than 40 years later, EF Education First is the international leader in study abroad, student exchange and international internship programs worldwide.

I was going to an interview because I want to go a High School Year in the United States.

EF High School Year is a student-exchange program where teenagers can go to another country, live with a host family and attend a local high school.

If you want to know more, check out: http://www.ef.com/

The interview went great! I got accepted! :)

After the interview I went to Madeleines place to sleep over. To celebrate that I got accepted we watched a Japanese horror-movie, One Missed Call. On Saturday we went to Askimtorget to shop. And this I can tell; I've never spend so much money in Askimtorget, ever! Suddenly we became shopping freaks! Madeleine and I who normally hate clothing stores! But we had fun though. That's the important thing.

Here's our shopping lists:

Madeleine:

Blue sweater/t-shirt thing.
A pair of pants :D
2 bras
A singlet
Make-up bag :D

Pernille:

One gray dress.
A pair of high-heels. :D :D
2 small tubes of body lotion.
A sexy turquoise dress you use when you go to sleep.
Make-up bag :D

I spend one more night at Madeleines place, cause I was going to come with her to Filadelfia Sunday. We also watched some more movies. One Missed Call 2, Shōnen wa Tori ni Natta & Gegege no Kitaro.

Sunday was Filadelfia-time. The band (that Madeleine's leading) had to practice before the meeting. I got interviewed by Erlend. I didn't know about it, so I was a bit nervous, since I hadn't prepared anything. But I think it went very well :)

When I got home I watched Jumper. Benedicte had downloaded it. So many people have said I should see it, and now I finally did. It was OK, I want to see it again some time :D

Here's the official Jumper trailer:

Snow, Amanda, Askim, Twilight, Sex & the City

2009-01-19T10:58:00.000+01:00

Some times I'm asking myself; why don't things come when you want them, but comes when you don't want them? (Weird phrase.. O.o)
I prayed so much for snow on Christmas Eve, but did it come? NO! But NOW, when I want to start drive Norbert (my bike) again, it's falling so much snow that we hardly comes out of the house! WHY?!
I only like snow in December. Now I just want Spring to come..

From Saturday to Sunday I spend the night at Amandas place. First we went to Askim Torget. There I bought a new mascara, one I'd never tried before. I loved it! One I definitely will continue with! :D

I also bought Twilight, the book. It's totally different from the movie: lines from the book is switched to other places in the movie! Things that appears in the movie, isn't in the book at all. And like almost every book made a film of; much in the book isn't in the movie.
The book is in English btw..

Amanda and I watched Sex and the City.. A lot xD I the end it became very boring. We also discovered many sick Norwegian games.. O.o And we played "Mujaffas BMW" on 123-spill.no xD

All days are alike

2009-01-16T09:05:00.000+01:00

When mom drove us to school today, my brother was asking over and over again which day it was. He made fun of me because I didn't remember it was Friday today.. (Been a little confusing week). Then he started to ask; "Which day comes after Friday?" I said Saturday. "And after Saturday?" Sunday? "After Sunday?" I was getting little tired, so I just answered; "Jonathan, it's Monday, you know that. When a week ends a new one starts, and the same days repeat over and over again, week after week."

This phrase got me thinking. Everyday is just the same. Just once in a while it changes.. I don't want it to be like that! Sometimes I just want to drop out of school, travel around and just take each day as it comes.

Same with our school days. Every day is the same. We wake up early, go to school, take lessons and goes home again. What's so excited with that? Learn this and learn that. I'm so sick of it! It's the same, boring thing every day!

But English is a funny subject. Right now we learn about poetry. We're sitting in groups and making poems. Two poems each group to be more correct. All these poems are going to be a book.

Here's one of the poems my group made:

Our school day

Our teachers are very crazy
But the students are just lazy

Twilight and new camera

2009-01-12T08:53:00.001+01:00

On Saturday Martine and I were in Ski and watched Twilight. Awesome movie! Right after the movie was finished I wanted to see it again!

Before we went to the cinema, we walked around in Ski Storsenter. There I found a camera. Finally I found one. Originally the price was 1.724, I got it for 999!

We took train both ways. Our train back was going 20.26. The movie was finished 20.32... So we had to take the next train, 22.26. But the 20.26 train was 20 minutes late, so we made it in time! :D Thank You!

Here's a summary of the Twilight movie:

"Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal."

Some days ago the weather was so nice, so I grabbed a camera and went out for a little walk. And while I was walking around, I understood what a beautiful country I live in. Especially now in the winter.

Kristin Lavransdatter = Mario Forever

2008-12-17T10:02:00.000+01:00

In Norwegian class we watched a boring movie called Kristin Lavransdatter, Kransen. It's an old Norwegian story from 1920 about a girl named Kristin who lived around 13oo. The movie was made in 1995 and it feels like it never ends.

And what is right to do when you watch such a boring movie?
You play Super Mario of course! Mario Forever! ^>^

Today I chose a Japanese Christmas song. Or.. It's not Japanese, but this is the Japanese version.
Here it is:

Akahana no Tonakai (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) あかはなのトナカイ

Soon it will be Christmas, again :D

2008-12-16T12:55:00.000+01:00

The time goes so fast! I remember the last Christmas like it was yesterday! When I cleaned up my room on Saturday, I found some of the presents I got last year! I can't believe it has been a year already! Soon it will be 2009! Where did 2008 go?!

Jonathan came to me some days ago. He was wondering why the time went slover when we were small. And I totally agree with him! When we were little, it felt like Christmas and everything else never was going to end!

We also felt the Christmas-spirit much more when we were kids. Everything was so nice when we were small. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again. Specally after arguing with mum and dad..

But it's also good to be older. When I was little, I was pretending that I was going in High School. And I had so much fun! And now I'm here! :D

Another thing.. I still haven't found a present to my dad.. T_T
Have to speed up, cause it's only 8 days till Christmas! Yey! ^>^

2008-12-15T09:23:00.000+01:00

I'm not a good weekend-blogger.. But I don't care! :P I'll just write it on Monday instead ;D

On Friday 12, school started 12.50 for me and my classmates. Awesome! We had a Spanish lesson and swimming rest of the day (From 13.40 to 15.10). So we had a really short day ^>^
But I didn't go home right after school.. I went to Askimtorget. There I bought some cute Christmas stuff :P When I got home the clock was already 17.30 or something :O

On Saturday 13, I woke up early. I didn't eat breakfast, just grabbed my clothes and ran out to the horses. I was with them in 2 hours or so ;D
After that I began to clean up my room! :O Because 17 o'clock Madeleine, Silje, Carine and Amanda (+ some friends of my siblings) were coming to us. We had Christmas decoration workshop at my home. Most of the time we made things and figures of marzipan. It was fun and cozy. ^>^ Amanda, Silje and Madeleine slept over. Carine went home around 02.00. We have to do such kind of things more often! :D

So, on Sunday 14, we woke up and my family and everyone ate breakfast together! Yammi! ;D ^>^ After that we didn't know what to do, so we just sat down and watched CSI xD

School, Things That Doesn't Make any Sense

2008-12-09T13:50:00.000+01:00

I'm at school right now (shock :O) and I'm eating my lunch; bread with clove cheese ^>^ (yummi)

My head is totally empty.. Why is it so difficult some times to write in my blog? The whole thing ends with me sitting her and write a bunch of meaningless things! Hanne, Sarah and I talked about it. It's difficult to write blog! Especially here on our school in Askim! Nothing happens here!

So now you don't need to wonder anymore why I write things like this that doesn't make any sense xD

Sorry, but the weekend has been very hectic. Had no time to write in my blog. So I'm going to write now instead ^>^

December 6 started with me putting on my makeup in the car. Amanda and I were going to Oslo, and of course I overslept. =_o But I did make the train in time!

In Oslo we ice skate. In the beginning it didn't look so good.. But in the end I think I became really good! And I didn't fall even once! :O :D
We also had some time to go shopping. But it was so many people in Karl Johan, so we just ate a burger on Burger King and I bought a present to my grandfather. After that we went "home".

I write "home" cause we didn't exactly go home.. We went to Filadelfia in Mysen. Since I was in the organizing committee I had to be there one hour earlier. Because we had a Christmas party!
It was fun, but Amanda and I fell down from a chair in one of the games.. Amanda got a bump in her head and I got a scratch under my knee. xD

4. December, Math Mock Exam & Shopping

2008-12-05T08:52:00.000+01:00

Yesterday I had math mock exam, so I totally forgot to write in my blog. Therfore I'm doing it now! ^>^

4. December

Like I wrote up there I had math mock exam yesterday. Just hope I'll pass.. :P
When I came home I didn't do so much.. I made a Christmas gift to Jonathan, my brother, and that's pretty much it I think..

I also had a snowball fight with my dad and our cat, Mozart.

Song of 4. December is "Strømpestrikke sangen" from Blåfjell. (In English it will be something like "stocking-knitting song" I think :D)

5. December

Today I'm going to meet mum, Benedicte and Jonathan at Askim Torget after school. We have to finish some Christmas shopping. Tomorrow it's a Christmas-party on Fila, so Jonathan has to get a new shirt. I have to buy five more presents, and then I'm done.

But right now I'm at school. Today I will actually do some homework. I have to finish some work in Norwegian..

Song of the day is "Santa Clause is back in town" with Elvis Presley.

Isn't it a great feeling to feel Christmassy? Last night my house was so full of the Christmas spirit and I became so happy! I couldn't do anything but smile! :D

Now it's REALLY much snow outside! I get a little bad conscience when I think about the horses. It's been a while since I paid my horse a visit.. And now when it's snowing he look so happy! He looks so beautiful in the snow! When I come home from school I think, no, I know I will go to Fighter (my horse) and give him some carrots. ^>^

That's all for now!

"It's the second day of December today, today is the second day in December". This is the first line in one of my favourite Christmas television programs for kids called "Amalies jul", together with "Blåfjell".

Today on Blåfjell, they're going to wake up Queen Mountain Rose. So exiting! (I know what's going to happen though.. I've seen it many times xD)

Yesterday I didn't only see Blåfjell. I also saw "The Julekalender". Scary.. "It's a dark and stormy afternoon.." xD

When I woke up this morning and looked out of my window it was snowing. Yey! ^>^

Now I have to go! But I can't forget my Advent calendar!
The song of the day is "Walking in a winter wonderland" with Dean Martin & Nat King.

Some pictures

2008-11-23T22:04:00.000+01:00

Some pictures I've been taken :P And I'm very satisfied with them ^^,
See, sometimes I just have this feeling that I have to take pictures of special things. To others they might not be, but to me these things are beautiful. I know it sound weird, but I can see the beauty in ugly stuff. (Well, the pictures under here aren't ugly though..)

Grandmother says I have a little artist inside me, just like my aunt :P

This is from Sunny Beach in Bulgaria

I shot this picture of my mum in Bulgaria. I just love it.

The sky, the water, everything! Perfect!

And of course my beautiful mother :P

This is taken on Glomma

Also on Glomma, from our boat

I don't know, but there's something about this picture of my dad I like..

This is my favourite picture ^^

This is also (shock :O) from Glomma

We have some rocks outside our house, and last week I took this picture.

So something good came out of the rocks (finally).

Outside my house

I'm crazy, I know! But I really like this picture! Don't ask me why!

Something about it maybe? Or maybe my mood when I shot it?

I really want this cellphone! It's an "old" phone, with no MP3 and not so good camera. But I want it anyways! I've always wanted a "flip-phone". And it costs only 527 NOK!

When I ask dad if I can get it as a Christmas gift he always telling me to be patient. I don't want to be patient!

Here is a picture of the cellphone Nokia 2760 Smoky Grey:

Peugeot Fox.. A funny little machine :P It's the same bike I drove a while ago. I think I wrote about it in a post earlier.. Well, now I'm gonna get one myself xP I need one to drive in the winter-season.

Christmas & Knitting

2008-11-18T22:29:00.000+01:00

Yey! Soon it will be Christmas! ^^ I just love Christmas. And hopefully it will be a white Christmas this year :P

The thing I like the most about Christmas have to be the presents. But not to get presents. I like to give presents. It makes me happy to see the faces when they get the thing they've been wishing for ^^ Presents..

This year I'm giving a little unexpected gift to many of my family members.. Believe it or not, but the only thing in my head this days is knitting. I'm doing it all day long! Well, it's nothing bad about it. It's cheap, and I have made it myself :P In a way it's more.. personal xD Oh well.. That's all for now! :P xD

Since I wrote something about white Christmas up there, I felt it was right to add this video.. xD
This is from the movie "White Christmas"

Yesterday I wrote that I almost fall asleep.. Well, today I actually did. It's a little embarrassing, but I fell asleep in the social studies lesson. We were supposed to watch a movie called "Darwin's nightmare". It was so boring!

So.. I have no idea what happened in the film.. Just hope we not get a test in it or something. But it wasn't just me who fell asleep.

A boring visit at the school library

2008-11-12T11:11:00.000+01:00

In the Norwegian lesson today we visited the school library. BORING!

We got some exercises we were supposed to do on Internet. And when I was finished with all the exercises that I got, the lady in the library said that I had to write it down. So.. I had to do it all over again. =_o

So boring! I almost fell asleep!

I had to find this book:

Youth in Uppsala 2008 Day 3

2008-11-07T09:23:00.000+01:00

(2. November)

We had to take all our stuff into the main building before breakfast.

While people stood and waited for their food, this man drove around on a weird washing machine. And he didn't care if people stood in the way, he just drove their way so they had to move.

After breakfast started the morning meeting. This morning Carl-Gustav Severin was preaching.

The singers on the conference

Silje, Madeleine and Joonas

Some dancers

We met Pille-Riin and the others after the meeting. It was sad to say goodbye.

Then, after some hugs, we went to find the "Zoe-bus". And we found it! :D Yey! ^^

On the bus

We stopped on McDonalds and ate on the way home

Youth in Uppsala 2008 Day 2

2008-11-03T09:05:00.000+01:00

(1. November)

I woke up with a really bad throat. And I also had a small headache. Oh yeah! Great..! =_o But this couldn't stop us! We put on our make-up and Madeleine and Silje fixed their hair.

We ate breakfast in the cafeteria were we met Pille-Riin and the others. And right after that the morning meeting started. It was Aaron Jayne who preached this morning too. He talked about king and priest.. It was kinda boring..

After the meeting we tried to find a supermarket.. We ended up at McDonalds xD Joonas tried to explain the way, but we didn't find it. But we found McDonalds, and on our way there, we found this strange marking on the way; one to bicycles and one to walking people. The bicycles even had their own traffic light! :O

Then we went to a workshop about how to use music in your christian life.

And after that we just sat on our room.. Silje and I watched "Super Size Me" on Youtube while Madeleine borrowed my camera.

Before we went to the meeting we finally found the supermarket. The girl in the info-desk helped us. But they hadn't got cough pastilles. My throat!

We also ate pancakes. And then we started to play with the food afterwards.. xD

The evening meeting was great! Joakim Lundqvist was preaching ^^ He talked about Heaven. Awesome meeting :)

Youth in Uppsala 2008 - Day 1

2008-10-31T22:35:00.000+01:00

Finally we're here in Uppsala! (We = Madeleine, Silje and me). Luckily there was Internet on our room. We share this classroom with someone from Finland (or something..)

But I think I'm going to start with the beginning of the day.

I woke up about 8 o'clock this morning. First I took a loooong shower. I think that's because I'm not going to school today, and I just had to have the "not-going-to-school"-feeling xD Then I packed the last piece, and I was finished packing.

Then mum and I drove to Madeleine. And Jan, Madeleines father drove us to Uppsala, and he used our car ( the Hyundai). It went pretty well! We leaved Madeleines house around 11 am and arrived in Uppsala 6 pm. Jan is very kind ^^ But I forgot to change my Norwegian money to Swedish, soo.. When we paid for dormitories I had to use my card.. And I remembered my code! Yey! ^^

Silje and Madeleine in the car

The meeting who started 7 pm was awesome! ^^ Aaron Jayne preached. He was cool :P

After the meeting we met Joonas and Pille-Riin and the others ^^ So nice ^^

Tomorrow we have to get up at 7.30 am, because we have to be ready for breakfast :)

We're packing out

October Snow

2008-10-29T09:56:00.000+01:00

"What a warm en good bed".. This was the first thing I thought this morning.. Until mum began to scream: "Nooo! It's snowing!" And I just: "What?!" Cause.. Hello!! It's October?! Why does it snow now?

And thing got even better.. Since dad is still in Estonia, my grandpa had to switch tires on our car. That took.. let me see.. one and a half HOUR?!

Mum didn't let me drive today because of the snow.

The whole thing ended with Benedicte and me coming late to school.

I have nothing against snow, but I don't like that it comes so early. Why can't it snow on Christmas? If I remember right, it hasn't snowed on Christmas in 3 years or so..

But I love snow. (In the winter.. around Christmas..) :D

Love you Norbert

2008-10-27T10:06:00.000+01:00

Today I'm happy ^^ Because I'm driving Norbert today! It's been a while since I drove Norbert to school. Most because of the weather, but also because I had to help mum out at work. But today mum said I didn't had to come to her work if I didn't want to. Yey! ^^

I have decided to drive Norbert as much as possible, cause soon the winter comes, and then I can't drive him at all.

Heh.. Somehow it's little weird to write him, since it's a motorcycle xD But I think he has soul, and if something has a soul, it should have a name. So I gave him a name; Norbert (Sven Rolf). This might sound even weirder, but I think he is special.

My dad once said that bikes are like us humans. We try to find the right one. Maby Norbert is the right bike for me? You can call me crazy if you want, but that's how I think.

Well.. That's what I had on my heart this morning when I drove Norbert to school. I also found out how much I look forward to the spring. What a great feeling! The first time you take out your bike after a long and cold winter! :)

Back to School and a bad day..

2008-10-24T09:10:00.000+02:00

For some days now I've been home from school. But this morning mom said I had to go to school, because I'm not that ill today. Yesterday I had a fever and didn't feel very well.

But since I didn't want to go today, this morning didn't start very well. First I overslept and than I had a fight with my mother. And this bad mood influenced the rest of my family.
Because of the bad weather I couldn't drive my bike today. That made me even more angry. So in our little car mom had to drive me to school and my sister and brother. I came late to school, my brother and sister came late to school, and my mother came late to work.

Right now I have a little bad conscience, because the last thing I said to my sister when I got out of the car was "din lille fitte, ikke tro at du er den eneste som er stressa her" which means something like; "you little slut, don't think you are the only one that is stressed here"..

Actually, after the Estonian trip, me and my sister finally became friends. I don't want this to ruin our relationship.. But in a way, I don't want to apologize. Why? Why is it so hard to say "sorry, I didn't mean to say that"? And my mother also became more angry when I said that.. Sometimes I feel like mom and dad don't understands me at all.. It's like they always take sides with Benedicte. The reason I think that is because I feel sorry for my self right now.. How pity..

Benedicte & me in Estonia

Like this wasn't enough I forgot my English-book. PERFECT!

And; I just got to know that dad is going to Estonia tonight. And you know what? Just some miles from where we use to be with The Zone.. He he . . .

Test in Science, English and late work again

Now we have English. Our teacher just said that she sold her sister when they were together in London for 1000 pounds. In the middle of the trip they went out of money. They were young and when they met a businessman from Egypt in a bar, they knew: this was the chance! So they asked this man if he wanted to marry my teachers sister for 1000 pounds. And he said yes! So they took the money and then they ran. xD Clever way to make some money. xD

And I also have to help mom out at work today. But this time I shall only be there for three hours.

Shame on me

Today I drove a scooter for the first time. Actually, I hate scooters! So this is a little weird.. I promised myself to never sit on a scooter, ever! But.. For some reason, I asked to try it! Maybe it's because it was so extremely ugly? (Not nice of me to say, because the one who owns the scooter is my friend). I don't even know if I can call it a scooter. Well, it looked like a scooter, but it was really small and somehow it reminded me of a mosquito! And when i drove it, it was like driving a little inconstant grass cutter on two wheels over a suspension bridge. Terrible! Can't imagine how it would be to drive it for more than two kilometres!
But though.. (I'm sad to say it), it was kind of fun to!

I have to say this; even if I thought it was fun, I will never, and don't misunderstand me: never, get myself a scooter! I still think they're ugly, and if someone says the ugly word scooter (that I've been using a lot in this text), I will ask them to not swear. Because to me, to say scooter is the same as swearing! So when I'm finish with this post, I have to clean myself and ask for forgiveness. Cause in this contribution I've been swearing a lot.

Madeleine!!! My book!!!

2008-10-17T08:45:00.000+02:00

Today when I got to school, the first thing I see is a desperate Madeleine: "I need an English book" she shouted. "I have a test". (Okay, she wasn't that desperate, and she didn't shout, I just like to be little dramatic, since I need the book myself). So now I haven't got any book. But I borrowed another book so it's okay.

Now we read "Snow". It's a book about a girl named Yolanda. She is an immigrant and have just began in a Catholic school in New York. And it's in the middle of the Cuba crisis, so everyone is worried. And Yolanda has never seen snow before, so she thought is was dust from a bomb.

This is my English book by the way:

Test in social studies

2008-10-16T10:41:00.000+02:00

This morning I had a test in social studies. There weren't too difficult questions, so I think I did pretty well.. I hope so :D Even though I didn't practice before the test.. I was in Oslo yesterday and forgot my book. But the politics we are learning about in school aren't that hard, so I think it's gonna be okay :P

Hungry

2008-10-15T10:04:00.000+02:00

I'm sooo hungry! And I know that this is a very weird thing to write about in a blog.. I want to write about something, but I can't think of anything because I'm so hungry! And it's over two hours until lunch break! :S

Have to pay attention to the teacher.. Norwegian lesson.. =_0

Looong day..

2008-10-13T16:44:00.001+02:00

I promised mom to help her out at work today. Have been here for one hour or so, and I'm already bored. And here I'm going to stay until twelve o'clock tonight.. Fortunately there is a wireless network some place around here so I can be on Internet. (Lets just hope the one who owns the network not finds out that I'm using it).

But I don't want to be so negative! So I'm going to write about some other stuff. 'cause today was the first time I went with the bus in High school! And I think it is the first time after I got the drivers licence that I'm not driving at school. Soon I have to take the bus, because (hopefully) there will be snow on the ground, and too cold to drive. But that time, that sorrow. Now I'm being negative again!

Hmm.. I have no more to write right now.. So.. xD

English Lesson

2008-10-13T10:45:00.000+02:00

I'm at school, and now we have English lesson. Actually, this is an interesting and, believe it or not, funny lesson! We are watching parodies of Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet. And that's pretty much it! xD So we're just sitting here and enjoy short movies on Youtube about folks who make fun of Romeo and Juliet and of course; Shakespeare.

Here is one of the videos:

School is confusing..

2008-10-08T09:23:00.001+02:00

When I came to school this morning I was very confused.. First I thought that I was one hour late, but my classroom was closed and non of my classmates were here. And than I found out: We have the two first lessons free today, so I'm one hour early. I have to sit here one hour and do nothing!

But now comes my Norwegian teacher.. oops.. :S I don't have books! Because I have no money right now. The Norwegian-book cost 500 NOK, and I don't have them.. :S

Pernille has to find the real blogger inside her

2008-10-06T13:21:00.000+02:00

From now on I'm going to be (or try to act like) a real blogger. And I'm not going to write things that have no connection. So! I'm going to start the new blogger me, with explain the Estonian trip. (Though I can't remember very much..)

So here it comes;

Friday 26/09/08
Madeleine and I woke up at 6 am and around 8 am we arrived at Filadelfia. And finally we could take our seats in the bus. Lucky for me I got two seats for myself :D
The boat left from Stockholm at 6 pm or something. (I don't remember)
And.. that's all the "interesting" what happened that day.

Saturday 27/09/08
We arrived in Tallinn around 10 am (Estonian time). Benedicte (my clumsy sister) didn't find her cellphone, but fortunately someone on the boat found it at turn it in. But my dad had to go and get it in the boat. So while he went all the way from were we sat in the bus into the boat again, Preben, Stig and Madelene found out that they in the meantime could collect some money. So they sat down outside the bus and started to sing and play the guitar. And; they actually got some money! Believe it or not!
We spent some til in Tallinn before we went to the church. There we perform our stuff. And the Estonian guys also performed some songs. But before that we had a football match. I was satisfied to watch. It ended like this: Norway 3- Estonia 5. But next time WE will win ;)
After that we went to the place we were staying.

Sunday 28/09/08
This day we performed at the church again, but this time it was for the whole community, not just the youths. Madeleine and I started to cry, because we were so proud of Benedicte. She is very frighten of being on stage, but now she actually smiled and danced perfect! And that's what I had praid for! That Benedicte would enjoy to perform in Estonia! :)
Today we also talked to "that guy" and "that guy 2" (Kaarel and Joonas). I became "that girl" and Madeleine "that thing" xD We also talked to some other girls and boys, but most with Kaarel and Joonas. (Or.. Madeleine talked the most xD)

Monday 29/09/08
From early in the morning until noon, we helped out clean Savikoti. It was here we stayed the first year we went here with The Zone. It was dirty! You could write in the dirt on the wall! But when we finished, it looked exceptionally xD Next year I want to do a renovation. ^.^
After we finished, we went home to were we stayed were we jumped in the shower before we went to the church again. This was the first time they had a party for people who had given their life to God. Now we became even closer friends with the Estonian guys. And when we left they didn't want us to go. They also gave everyone a real hug. Awwww, I love those people! Didn't want to go! We also got their MSN-address and phone number.

Tuesday 30/09/08
Time to go home.. But before that we went to a school and did our performance. We had half an hour to disposal. You know what? The atheist principal loved our show and kept say; "one more song, can you play one more song?" We used around an hour, and they want us to come back next year! Awesome! ^^
And! Kaarel and Joonas came! On Joonas' bike! He drives a Honda 500, custom made (by Joonas himself) ;) They wanted to see us one more time before we left, and gave us escort when we left the school. And some of the guys are going to Uppsala in October! I want to go there! ^^

Before we went to the boat we stopped at the big shopping centre in Tallinn were we ate pizza and bought some stuff.
It was really fun at the boat. We sang karaoke and danced in the disco.

Simon also got his driver licence today! Finally! xD Well done, Simon xD

Wednesday 01/10/08
We arrived in Sweden. The bustrip home took 8 hours.. -.-' But I slept most of the way, and we ate in McDonalds :D
It was nice to see mom again. She picked us up outside Filadelfia around 6 pm.

Home again

2008-10-04T14:14:00.000+02:00

Well.. No I'm home from Estonia. Why do this kind of trips go so fast? Want to go back again.. But my friend Madeleine and me are maby going back to the summer =D

But it's kind of weird.. This is the fourth time we were in Estonia, and three of the years we have been there with The Zone (A christian youthclub). And this year was the first time we got to know some of the people there! So now I want to go back!

Hopefully I will meet two of the boys o the youth conference in Uppsala later this month..

"Dear God, please do so mom and dad let me go there! Not only to
see my new friends, but also to hear about your name! Amen"

First time..

Hi!

This is the first time I'm writing here, and I hope I will do it much from now on. I'm not so good at it, but I hope this will help me with both my computer knowledge and my English grade.

Tonight I'm going to sleep over at Madeleines house. Because tomorrow we're going to Estonia. I forgot some of my stuff at home, so I hope my mother remember to take it with here tomorrow ^^ Ooh! I'm so excited! Hope many good things happen! We're going on this trip because we want to share the name of Jesus. And my exercise at the trip is drama. I'm the main character in the drama I plays in.

I don't think I will write more today.. Sorry if my English isn't very well. Have to work a little bit on that subject.. But soon, I will become a good English writer, just wait and see ;) (but please be patient.. I'm not that fast :P).
