the Romantics

It's 4 a clock in the morning and I'm in a serious lack of sleep, and part of me wants to stay lurking in the closet, but part of me says not to, so... In lack of better judgement, I'm going to tell you a big, fat, juicy secret about me. I am somewhat of a romantic. Bam! There! I said it! And this, my dear readers, is a real kiss.

(Ps. If you've seen the series, you'll probably understand better)

the Reader's list

I think I might have told you about a "task" I've had this summer to read all the Harry Potter books in a row. First I was supposed to have finished in time before the release of the last Harry Potter-film, but then  I took away the time-limit as I was just about to finish the second book at the premiere. There are a few books that I have been wanting to read now, for quite some time, that I have decided to read before Christmas instead, and a few of them will probably not be on this list, as my memory might be flawed. So here goes:

1. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - J. K. Rowling
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - J. K. Rowling
3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J. K. Rowling
4. Mein Kampf - Adolf Hitler
5. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë
6. The Communist Manifesto - Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels
7. Les Misérables - Victor Hugo (In French)
8. Kokain: Drogen som fick medelklassen att börja knarka och länder att falla samman - Lasse Wierup & Erik de la Reguera

And maybe also "Cannabusiness, om konsten att legalisera en drog" - Johan Anderberg
As you might have understood the last two mentioned books are about drugs. This is mainly because I have always had a sort of interest in the use and abuse of these and their consequences. (I'm not a crackwhore - even though it sometimes might seem like it) Ps. The books will not necessarily be read in that particular order.

It's funny because a friend and I had a conversation about something similar some week ago where planning on bringing a sofa outside someone's livingroom window, look up the TV-guide and come and watch the films we wouldn't be able to see at home. Hehe, I know, it wasn't a very serious conversation, but honestly though, it would be fun, wouldn't it?



And the road becomes my bride, I have stripped of all but pride, so in her I confide

Roots. Listening to Metallica is truly coming home, it's been too long. Just listen to those drums and that guitar.

Wherever I May Roam - Metallica

A few moments ago.

Why isn't my scar from the infection going away? I'm starting to seriously wonder if it ever will.. I really hope it does!

I don't think it's all too visible on this picture but if you see a darker spot right above my eyelashes, that'd be it. It's not eyeshadow or anything.

"What is the exact function of a rubber duck?"

I don't actually have much to say now, but I can't seem to make myself fall asleep just yet, so just to clear my brains out, I guess I could tell you a few truths about this very moment.

Wish I'd had this book to read now, I should've bought it when I saw it in Glasgow earlier this year. I mean with a killer-title like this one, how could it be anything other than great reading?

1. I am hungry, but I don't feel like anything in the fridge is all that appealing (don't you hate it when you develop immunity towards the insides of your refridgerator?)
2. I always tell other people to read the manuals of stereos and such to be able to sleep as they are long and dull, but I've never actually done it myself.
3. I refuse to follow my own advice (see point no.2).
4. Still refusing.
5. Yeah, see, I didn't really have anything to say this once.

Hope you're finding it easier to sleep than I am, if you have any good advice on how to lure your brain into sleep-mode feel free to share this valuable information.

Beyond Borders

Angelina Jolie is growing on me. I recently heard from a random person that I look like her, which was pretty unexpected and of course very untrue. I googled some pictures of her just to check if I could see any resemblance (yes, I'm the type of person that does that) and nothing. But I did however understand now why people thinks she is beautiful, sh has very classical lines and very nice eyes. I especially thought that was visible in this picture, and also, I realised that I really liked her makeup in it, it look very naturally soft. I'll probably try it out some of these days.

I do not own the rights to this picture or any other picture on this blog unless I claim otherwise.

That was of course Angelina in very shallow terms, but I do support the whole "save-the-world" stuff she does also, and I especially enjoy her acting in films that are not action-related, she is an incredibe actress; see Changeling and Beyond Borders. I also like her tattoos and the names of her adopted children, and the idea of adopting children.
