Wow...
I just really cannot believe it. I'M AN ADULT. I'm forever shocked... but there is one other thing, besides the fact that I'm in Dallas, that makes this day extra frickin' special.
The sun is out. It's not raining. For like, the first time in 2 weeks and it's all because of me!!!
Mom and Bri are taking me out to a nice restaurant, but the whole celebration thing will be another day.
Woot!
So I'm eighteen now, I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT!
xx
What a treat :)

Well I survived...
So I'm not dead you guys. I was at Bri's house yesterday and the day before, just spending some quality time with my sister :)
So we went to Target and bought her a new DVD player...and for some reason it took over an hour to get out of the store... Bri has trouble making decisions like me. After that we went to Blockbuster and rented some movies.. Brianna rented 3, but the only one i remember is 'Children of Men' which is a GREAT movie about the last baby on earth after 18 years of infertility. And I got 'An Inconvenient Truth' aaaand 'Fast Food Nation'.
Can't wait to watch 'em. I actually watched An Inconvenient Truth, but fell asleep halfway through. And I own Fast Food Nation the book.
Bri's so much fun to talk politics with. She's like me only a little more twisted and even MORE of a conspiracy theorist than I am. Wow, imagine that.
Must. See. Harry. Potter. And. The. Order. Of. The. Phoenix.
Fuck yes.
I have never seen that much flooding up close.
It's been raining for the bast 3 days and last night it was so heavy you can't even imagine it. There were thunderstorms and tornado warnings and flooding on every street, which we had to drive through anyways. And a kid drowned to death last night.
So I might not be able to update everyday if the weather's stormy, don't want to fuck up Mom's computer even more than I already have.
It's supposed to rain like hell and storm until Saturday.
Oh and back to tornadoes. If you haven't already experienced them I'll tell you what they're like.
Usually it's pretty warm and muggy and humid outside, kinda windy sometimes. And then the sky, which is already cloudy, turns purple and GREEN which is when you know something is terribly screwed up.
So you turn on the news and they tell you there's not only a tornado warning but a tornado WATCH in your county. They tell you to take cover in your basement, bathtub or interior clost with no windows. Not many people here have basements, by the way.
Scary as shit.
Right now it's windy, dark and cloudy and sunny from time to time. Sounds like a storm to me.
Take care :)
The Bravery kick ass.

I'm eating salad. In the United States of America. No joke, my friend. No joke.
I don't think Mom was too keen on letting me drive today. I got to for like 5 minutes, tops. Hope she realizes that she's the one who has to teach me so I can get my license here.
Oh well.
Still hopeless, still hopeless my friends.

I think I know what tattoo I want for my birthday/sometime while I'm here. Might include a picture later.
Cheers!

The current state of America is enough to make anyone sick. Or at least it should be.
OK, I've eaten out (this includes fast food) all but 2 days since I got here. And this is the norm... no, actually I'm guessing it's below the average frequency.
We just got back from Kroger, the grocery store and OH MY GOD!
When someone asks me what I do when I'm bored I'll know what to reply: I count people who AREN'T overweight. I looked around the entire (moderately busy) store and my total when we left was 4. fucking FOUR people were not overweight.
Not including myself and my Mom.
So yeah.. and them my mom threw out suggestions for tonight's dinner and she wondered if fried catfish and french fries sounded OK.
DEEP-FRIED fish and DEEP-FRIED fries, and she doesn't consider it unhealthy. Fucking Jesus Christ.
I wasn't kidding when I said I won't be able to fit into my clothes when I leave the States. I am dead serious.
I swear there's even fat in the water... it definitely wouldn't surprise me.
Oh, and get this; Although the value of the dollar has dropped by 50% in the past 8 years, minimum wage has been raised 50 cents. Yes. I'm not fucking kidding. The government is screwing us all.
And no one cares.
So I suppose today's rant is over.
On a lighter note:
I'm about to switch from Mom's Soul whateveryouwanttocallit radio station to my favorite rock one. It's been sorely missed, fuckers!
And. i. Must. Order. Warped. Tour. Tickets. Now.
I'm bummed and way too anxious for my own good. Please kill me now.
Adios!

For your tastebuds
And here are some of my favorite videos/songs of the moment. Enjoy.
"I Still Remember" by Bloc Party
"Alfie" by Lily Allen (I love her)
"Nan You're a Window Shopper" by Lily Allen
Sorry about the Lily overload. But it's love.
"Icky Thump" by The White Stripes
"Disconnect The Dots" by Of Montreal.
Yeah, I've gotten into 80's-ish synth pop. My apologies ;)
..And I couldn't bear to not include Jay. (Oh! If only I were gay...)
The song is called "Lower My Gun"

What has become of the world of entertainment?
I fell asleep on the couch again. Then I woke up at 8:30 when Mom called, but I couldn't answer because THE FRICKIN' ALARM WENT OFF because Mom set the motion sensor thing. YAY. So I stood there trying to remember the code while still half asleep, but I eventually remembered it and all is well in the land of burgular alarms ^^
Haven't heard from the boyfriend in a while.. I'm starting to get (just slightly) worried. Oh well?
Lily Allen performed on Last Call with Carson Daly (or was it Kimmel?) last night. She is so my new idol. SO gorgeous, so talented, so fucking street smart.
So yeah.. right now I'm watching a day-long marathon of My Super Sweet Celebration on MTV. It's really over the top, totally superficial and the girls are generally fat AND ugly (oh and the music just flat out sucks), but you can't help but envy them... just a little bit. But the girls are SUCH bitches.
Oh dear.
Oh, and why are there no sweet 16's for boys? That really bothers me :
I wish there were more real dances and balls in Sweden.. like Homecoming, Cotillion or just more dances. I just need a reason to dress up :)
Went over to Bri's yesterday, so I saw her new apartment for the first time. It's really cute and has two stories, kind of like her old one but a lot cuter.
Oh and it's in the "gay & rich" part of Dallas so you really don't have to worry about being raped (by men). My hair is a total mess.. I need it relaxed, cut and dyed, and I already know how I want it. but I'm not telling, it's a suprise MWAH HA HA HA.
HMM... Bloc Party performed on Jay Leno last night, and you know how much I simply LOVE Bloc Party. But i fucking missed it!
I promised myself I'd stay awake, but it was on at like 2:45 AM and I fell asleep. It was the very first thing I thouht of when i woke up, even before I figured out how to deal with the alarm.
Mom's supposedly going to let me drive her car this weekend. She doesn't seem to believe I can drive... BUT I'LL SHOW HER WON'T I??!! *shakes fist*
Mom, Bri and I went to the movie theater and saw Ocean's Thirteen yesterday. It was AMAZING. So damn good. Go see it!
Can't think of much else to say...
So have a good one!
Cheers! XX

Hold your head up and do your best to save some face
A cloud hangs over
This a city by the sea,
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be
Out there and sober as a well for loneliness,
Please do persist girl its time we met
And made a mess
I picture your face in the back of my eyes,
A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize,
Anomaly, anomaly, anamoly

MCR are good... wow.
I love clothes and fashion.. especially when it's over-the-top and unsual. Therefore, even though I love several different designers, only a few make it to the top of my scale. Here's a sample:
Armani would be a 4.
Dolce & Gabbana is a 6.
Anna Sui and Guess? are 7's
Ralph Lauren is a 7 1/2.
But the only 10's are Betsey Johnson and Heatherette. Well, maybe Betsey's a 9 1/2, but whatever. She makes beautiful colorful dresses.. they're wonderful, but really Heatherette's the only label that's crazy and funky enough without being flat out ugly.
Richie Rich and Trevor Rains are geniuses.
They've got their couture dresses, like these two;
But then they've got a ready-to-wear line as well, and it's surprisingly affordable.
LOVE THEM.

"...and no you can't have my number, 'cause I lost my phone"
Did some new quizzes...
KILL ME NOW. I certainly do NOT resemble Hilary Duff in any way, shape or form, thank you very much!
My sister, Brianna came by today, around 4pm. Originally she was gonna be here around 2 or so, but y'know she's ALWAYS at least a few hours late. High maintenance.
Listened to Lily Allen <3
Chatted with Jarrett and Robin.
Bri actually started crying when I answered the door, I believe her exact words were "Oh my god! My little sister's all grown UP and so GORGEOUS! You're so beautiful, Catwoman!"
Yes. Catwoman, kitten, and anything to do with "cat" are my sister's nicknames for me. She said she's take me to one of t he modeling agent places (whatever) around here so they can "...see what they can do", and THEN I reminded her that I'm 5'3'', not five-foot-seven.
I must admit, the attention was nice... yet exaggerated and kinda weird.
So then Mom, Bri and I got into Bri's white BMW SUV (gas guzzler, I hate SUV's) and headed over to Jefferson Street (I think?) for Mexican seafood and stuff at a really cute, quaint restaurant I can't remember the name of. The food was delicious. Headed over to wherever (was it Duncanville?) and bought shoes. Well, I got 3 pairs and Mom and Bri got a total of nil.
So now it's 8:30 PM and already getting dark. I guess i've gotten used to the Scandinavian midnight sun.
This post makes me feel all Valley -girl and cheerleader-ish. That wasn't the intention, but that's how it is.
Still no sign of my luggage.

I knew it!
I nearly missed my flight from Amsterdam to Minneapolis... ended up just making it. Unfortunately my bags didn't. TYPICAL.
And everytime I mention the concert my mom changes the subject. How very tricky of her :)
So, i got to Dallas around 10:15 last night and got HOME at.. 11 pm?
Mom's house is nice, cute and chic. The only thing missing is a pool.. and I think I may be able to talk her into getting one. The only problem will be fitting it in the yard.
Watched TV for like 2 hrs after getting home.. went to bed and woke up at 8 this morning. WHAT IS WITH THIS INSOMNIA?!!!
Dammit, IB syndrome has followed me across the Atlantic Ocean.
I'm wondering what everyone's up to... in Sweden and elsewhere. But i'm so fucking happy to be here, and in one piece no less!
MOMMY and I watched Spongebob this morning... which reminds me!
Emma and Jennie were over the other day (in Sweden, duh) and they brought me early birthday presents. Besides a cute frame with a darling photo of the two of them, I got a SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS sandwich maker!!!
Oh. My. God. it's true.
Now let me see if i can find a pic so my dear readers can see it in all its glory.

In case this is it?
Gah. No. Just kidding... disregard the title.
But in case I do die during my little adventure to the world of all things fundamental and all things greedy, just know that I have the best fucking friends in the world.
'Tis TRUE! So I'll be boarding a moving can (steel this time, not aluminum or tin) to Arlanda at 7:10 tomorrow morning.
To my fate, to my destiny, into the abyss? Not really.
Only if 'the abyss' can describe Dubya's home state and the land where 'everything's bigger'.
But it'll take a while to get there.
My itinerary looks something like this:
12:10 pm DEPART from Arlanda
2:15 pm ARRIVE at Schipol/Amsterdam
3:35 pm (remember the big-ass time difference - Europe/US) DEPART for Minneapolis/St. Paul (Minnesota)
5:30 pm ARRIVE at MPS
7:25 pm DEPART for Dallas/Ft. Worth
...and finally... I ARRIVE IN DALLAS AT 10:51 at night.
Tomorrow night. I cannot believe it. I haven't been in Dallas in 3 years, and I'll supposedly be there tomorrow night! Please share my enthusiasm :D
My summer should be filled with concert-going, messing around with friends, going to Hurricane Harbor (giant water park) and Six Flags (theme park)... and of course, STUDYING.
But I do believe my dear Extended essay will have to take the backseat for a little while once I get to the States.
So I'll try to update like a hamster on speed, so people can peek in and see what mischief I'll be up to.
If you care, that is :P
Oh, and I forgot to mention the fact that I plan on getting really fat and living off junk food for the first week of my stay in Dallas. I can't wait!
TAKE CARE, peeps!

I don't know what to say. Flabbergasted?
Wow. usually i can talk for ages, on and on about anything. Not this time.
I've just realized that the IB2's will be gone FOR REAL in 2 days. Like I probably won't see most of them ever again in my life. Haha. It feels like the IB is one big sect-like unit.
ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY.
But I wish they could all be like Pieter and come visit periodically. To me, Pieter's living the ultimate life. Not only is he studying at a good university abroad, he's also doing musicals(!!!, Yes it's a big deal) and ballet.
I think that's how I want to start my "life after the IB". I just want to move to the States, start studying, do my fashion thing and play music. I want recognition and for my dreams to actually come true.
I KNOW I come off as a self-centered, self-assured person... but guess what? That's actually only the case about 10 percent of the time. The rest is just blah. You know what BLAH means, so don't ask. I get depressed, stressed-out and anxious like the rest of you. And, at times, probably more.
Just clearing some stuff up.
So yeah, IB Night was wonderful last night, from Tony's copying a bunch of whatnot and Marianne's dotting the I's halv a foot from the actual letter. Really great work, I wonder how lond the show actually took to put together.
Next year's will be better though. I has to be, we're gonna blow the IB2's out of the water :D
Tingvalla without the IB2's... I just cannot imagine it.
I suppose now is the time to make friends with the 07's PDP's.
sigh.
whimper.
tears..
You'll be sorely missed my dear nerds!
"Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violins, just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it’s more than just bad luck
There, there, babyIt’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’Oh don’t lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah"

YES. Sunbathing. With sunblock and chemistry books, sans reading glasses or a properly functioning brain.
That's what I did all weekend, folks.
I am:
1. Dead tired. Was upp all night studying chemistry and then jennifer decides to make it an OPEN BOOK TEST. But you know I'm thankful ;)
2. Pissed off at my brother because he never returns my calls.
3. Annoyed that I still have 2½ lab reports to write in the coming week.

I did it! I bitched out my grandma! She called me last night (first time we talked in 2 months, mind you), to ask me where I want birthday money from Aunt Ruth sent. She was like "Well, I guess you want me to send it to Sweden.." and then I told her that that was the stupidest idea of the century, and that of course I want the money sent to ME while I'm at my MOM's in the UNITED STATES. Duh.
So now I'm gonna send her my mom's address. And, for some reason, my grandparents are still giving me presents this year even though I´'ve referred to my grandmother as a passive-aggressive manipulative bitch countless times in the past few weeks, as well as having told her to fuck off at least twice last night. But she deserves it. I know I sound like a horrible person.. but I'm not. My grandmother is, though.
So.. in 2 weeks... I'll be in.. the promised land? Not really. But Texas'll do anyday :)
Chem. Test. Thursday. Panic? YES.

Oh dear
In less than a month I WILL ME AN ADULT.
Och visst, jag vill ju vara fri och så.. men sen kanske man inte kan ta för givet att "Mamma/Farmor betalar?!"
Jobbigt blir det i alla fall. Med pengar, IB och hela köret :/
Ja... jag vet inte riktigt varför jag valde att åka till skolan idag, helt onödigt egentligen. Har bara musik och TOK(som egentligen inte räknas...).
När jag stod och väntade på bussen i dfs imorse och det ÖSREGNADE på mig och mina söta ballerinaskor så tänkte jag nästa vända mig om och gå hem. But I went to school ... for reasons unknown.
Paraply=värdelös.
Chevelles nya skiva, Vena Sera är bara för bra. Lite tyngre än den förra och lite mindre A Perfect Circle influerat, vilket bara gör det till en bättre platta.
Ö-R-O-N-G-O-D-I-S säger jag bara. om du gillar sånt alltså.
Idag! Ska jag sitta i skolan och plugga kemi ett längre tag och kanske även äta lite lunch, beroende på om jag känner för det/har någon att käka med.
Sen tänker jag åka hem... kanske läsa lite TOK. Kanske. Till kvällen blir det återigen kemiplugg, har ju prov på torsdag och jag har förträngt allt med Rates Of Reaction att göra.
Imorgon! Ska jag träffa min kära pojkvän "Knut", som Helen och Per säger (nej, han heter inte så, han heter Robin... och han är 18, inte 65). Vet dock inte vad vi ska hita på för nåt, det beror väl på vad det blir för väder!
Och SJs hemsida suger. Fo' reals, yo. Det går liksom inte att beställa biljetter, åtminstone om man har Visakort.

We last because we're colorful
And as for fools,
Just play the opposite"
