The amount of snow where I live is insane. In many parts of southern Sweden there hasn’t been this much snow for decades. My personal experience is that I haven’t seen this much snow in ten years, since I moved from the northern part of the country to the south. In the north this weather is normal and something to expect but not where I live. The snow fell more than two months ago and it has stayed ever since. Usually there’s snow which melts away, then new snow falls, which also melts away, repeated through the winter. Not this year though. The snow fell in December and has stayed ever since and what barely covered the grass two months ago has turned almost waist deep in the past two months. Well at least for me and my 161 cm.

Here’s me earlier today in my parents front yard.

By the way, I got a DeviantArt account. Add me if you’re on there.

This is my favourite photo of myself – ever. I look like a friggin model in this photo and that’s not a look I usually convey!

I miss the pink hair I had back in 2006 but I won’t dye it that colour again. Extreme colours needs so much pre-bleaching that it just ruins my hair.

Speaking of hair colours. After almost two years of dying my hair black I’m getting a bit sick of it. I think black suits me best and I love the colour but I like change. Since I’ve been growing my hair long for almost two years now and plan on growing it even longer I can’t change my hair style so what has to change is the colour. There’s a problem though. My hair is about as dark as it gets so dying it another colour really won’t do much good. My reddish blonde roots will change colour but that’s it. There’s of course bleach but there’s no way in hell I’m doing that to my hair again. That leaves the option to grow out my natural hair colour and then dye it but that would take like three years. Oh well I guess I’ll have to stick with black. Or perhaps I could just buy some clip-in hair extension of a interesting colour and wear once in a while. That way at least part of my hair could be pink again – without bleach.

I finally got my student loan money and to celebrate I did some shopping at www.vampfangs.com. This is what I bought:

Blood Vial Amphora Pendant

Morbid Spooky Bottle Covers

Can you say COOL AS FUCK?! Now I just need to buy a couple of cheap bottles of wine to put my spooky bottle covers on.

It’s amazing how much happier I’ve become since I started studying. I can ignore all the things that used to bring me down because now at least I’m doing something to change my situation. I’m getting an education which will get me a job I like which will get me money which will get me more freedom. It’s a plan and I’m following it. It’s great to feel that I’m moving forward again rather than being stuck at some dead end job. Retail, I’m through with you!

I went to my old job (the thrift store) yesterday. The book section looked chaotic. Whoever’s in charge of it now clearly isn’t as good at organizing things as I am. It was a bit hard to see after spending hours and hours making that section of the store perfect. I had to remind myself that it’s not my problem since I don’t work there any more. Still, it made me kind of sad seeing something I’ve worked so hard with ruined.

Speaking of something entirely different… I’ve reorganized my showcase.

This is what it looked like in December.

So, now that the layout is done I can focus on blogging again. Once I’ve started working on a new layout I don’t feel like blogging until I’m done with it. It’s not fun updating something old when you’re working on something new and better. And man, this is so much better than my previous layout!

Aaanyway…. I don’t really have anything to blog about since I’ve barely left my home besides going to my parents house or the grocery store for the past couple of weeks. I’m in between stuff right now. Worked my last day at the thrift store the day before Christmas and will start school the 18th. If I feel that I have the time I might work at the thrift store one day a week, just to get out a little since studying from home will make me even more of a recluse than I already am. Haha, I don’t mind much though. I could call people and hang out but I like being alone.

Going to continue with the laundry now but I leave you with some random photos.

Part of one of my closets. I laughed a bit when I realized how obvious it is which colours are my favourites. I barely ever dress in any other colours than black, white, grey, pink or red. Or blue, but only on jeans.

Today I went to Linköping with my family to shop since pretty much every store in Sweden hold major sales between Christmas and New Years Eve. Of course I’ll show you pictures of what I bought. I did buy more than what’s shown in these photos but I thought that you might not be interested in seeing my lint roller and the other boring household stuff I bought. I do show you my new dish rags but they’re cool dish rags so that doesn’t count!

Two pairs of ear rings and a necklace.

Christmas came and went. As usual I celebrated with my parents and my three siblings. All our relatives live in the northern Sweden and we live in the south so on Christmas it’s just us. I don’t mind since we’re a big family just the six of us. I made a photo blog post with tons of pictures from Christmas. If you don’t want to look at all thirty-eight of them you can ignore that and just look at my gifts in this entry. So here’s what I got:

1: Sodastream, must mix and red berries mix.
2: Vegetable chopper.
3: Milk foamer.

These are a couple of the things I’ve bought this month.

Eye shadows in pink and purple, pink matching nail polish and some glitter eye shadow top coat stuff I got for free. The colours are kinda off in the photo. The first one isn’t white, it’s light pink and the two last ones aren’t black and grey but different shades of purple.

What happened to blogging often? I don’t know. It’s not like I’ve been busy or anything. On the contrary I took three days off from work this week. I guess I’ve just been lazy because I do have things to blog about and I even have finished posts waiting to be published. Oh well, here I am now.

So I got into several web design courses at colleges all over Sweden. Since I’ll study online and don’t have to move I applied to colleges all over the country. Out of the courses I got into one called “CSS-based web design” at Umeå University was the one I felt was most interesting and therefore chose. I’m glad I’ll study online since Umeå is located in the northern part of Sweden which I’ve swore never to live in ever again.

Today it’s been snowing all day so it’s white outside to say the last. That’s really nice since it probably means Christmas will be white but I would love for the snow to melt away as soon as Christmas is over. Rain may be unpleasant and not beautiful like snow but at least when it’s raining you’re not freezing cold.

Aaaaanyway, moving on! I’ll end this post with a couple of photos.

A green Christmas tree just don’t suit the colour scheme of my home so I bought a black one. Wonderful, isn’t it?

During the three years I’ve lived in this apartment my interior decoration have changed a lot. The room I had in my parents house was very much the room of a teenager even though I was twenty-three and when I moved to my very first home of my own I brought with me not all but some aspects of that room. Comparing photos of my home from 2006 and 2009 I realize how much my style has matured. Here follows a comparison of my flat then and now. And if you want to see more photos of my home check out the pictures I took yesterday as well.

2006. I didn’t own a couch back then.

2009. Nowadays I have a couch bed. And compare the size of the TV!
