Pernille's Little World

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!

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

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

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)

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 ^^

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

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
