X-mas card exchange, sticky keys and marble mishaps

Any more people up for a Christmas card exchange? Comment and I’ll send you an e-mail.

Ahh god damn, typing at my laptop is annoying right now. You see earlier today the marble window board crashed into the floor and I was so startled by the sudden sound that I spilled glögg (spice mulled wine, non-alcoholic for me) all over the keyboard. It still works but the space bar is is sticky and hard to press down. I don’t know how to remove it to clean it so I’ll wait for Andreas to come home tomorrow and then he can hopefully help me out.

This whole window board thing was a messy deal. One of the two flower pots standing on the board now has a crack and a piece missing and the wooden living room floor was damaged as well. The heavy marble board crashed into the floor and broke into four pieces. Four heavy pieces making ugly marks at my floor. This probably wouldn’t have happened had the marble board not been cracked. It was that way when I moved into this apartment, glued together, and I never complained about it because I could still use it. After the accident I noticed the crack wasn’t the only problem but that it also wasn’t screwed to the support thingies, whatever you call them, the things it was resting on. I’m calling the landlord tomorrow. Maybe I can get some kind of compensation for the damaged floor, which I paid for and put in myself when I moved in here. The material damage annoying as it is still isn’t the worst thing. Sarah likes to hide beneath the armchair in front of that window. If she had been laying there when the board crashed down she would have died. Thank god she was somewhere else at the time. I would have fucking sued the landlord had she been hurt.

mess

Oh yeah, I made a Christmas (more like winter in general really) theme for Whirlwind. I like the colours but I’m not sure about the header. I don’t think it “pops” as much as the header with the raven did. I realize the two headers are pretty much identical except for the colours and replacement of the raven with a snowflake. Still, the raven made it pop, a snowflake is just… meh…

God damn typing when you have to press down the space bar super hard for anything to happen is really annoying! I’ve tried cleaning underneath it with a wet dish rug but it didn’t do any difference. I’m ending this post now before my thumb get a cramp because of that sticky bar.

Autumnsong

The sky is grey and it’s raining. This is a bad day.

After I’m done hoovering I’m gonna shut the blinds and ignore the world outside my window. It’s just too depressing to look at today. I plan to spend the afternoon and evening in bed, watching Jericho, NCIS, Two and a Half Men, Sveriges fulaste hem (Sweden’s ugliest home) and Svenska Hollywoodfruar (Swedish Hollywood wives).

Help needed! External hard drive, dead?!

I think my external hard drive has DIED! It’s not working and it’s a FUCKING TRAGEDY! Since my computer is unreliable and frequently crash I moved all my photos and movies to my external, not to loose them. And now THIS!

Anyone who have ANY ideas whatsoever on what might be wrong and how I can fix it? Please, please, please help me!

Seriously, OMFG it’s more than 350 fucking GIGABYTES we’re talking about!

ANYONE?

20:- i minuten

Today I saw a doctor for fifteen minutes. Guess what that costed me? 300 SEK! That’s about 28€. That may not sound like a lot of money and compared to medical bills in other countries (hello USA) it’s probably not much. It is in Sweden though.

I know that I have a maximum of 45 minutes with the doctor so if I stayed for 45 minutes it would be 100 SEK (9€) per fifteen minutes. Which still is a lot. Now I only stayed for fifteen minutes though so my visit costed me 20 SEK (2€) a minute! I wish they had charged me per minute instead. Or even better, that I had talked to the doctor on the phone instead because this visit was pointless. We talked about my medicine, she said we’ll continue with the same dose and gave me new prescriptions and that was that. Well that’s 300 well spent!

Satans jävla helvetes förbannade jävla skit!

I’m just in such a fucking bad mood! One of my cats peed in my bed and it’s too late to do laundry. This means I have to sleep under itchy wool blankets which it’s way too hot for. Now I’m in such a bad mood that every tiny mishap makes me want to scream and break things. When I lived in my parents house and was home alone I actually did scream out loud when I was mad and things didn’t go my way. It was something very refereshing about it. I can’t really do that anymore since I live in a flat and would scare the shit out of my neighbours if I started screaming at the top of my lungs.
I’m so fucking mad! When I get into a bad mood like this even a small thing like dropping a fork on the floor makes me want to throw things into the wall. Now THAT’S something I wish I could do! I really can’t so intead I write a angry blog to let out at least some of the steam.

And now I’m gonna make a sandwich and peppermint tea to snack on while I watch another episode of “Road To Avonlea”. If you live near me and hear someone screaming profanitys at the top of her lungs it might be me having dropped the butter knife or something.

The winter blues

I want times like this:

summer

Summer + sun + friends + alcohol = Happy Angelica.

Right now summer seems terribly far away and I’m already more tired of the winter than I can put into words. The darkness and cold of the winter have a terrible effect on my mood and I always feel down this time of the year. As soon as spring arrives the hippie inside me will wake up and I’ll only want to listen to 60s flower power music while taking walks by the lake photographing flowers. But right now all I want to do is stay inside and listen to my favourite sad songs. And sleep. Sleep a lot.

The depressing time of the year

Today’s been blah. A rainy, dull and depressing day. I’m sick of every aspect of my life. I think it’s the time of the year that’s affecting me this way. I always get more or less blue every autumn because of the darkness and general dying of everything beautiful in nature. There’s nothing even remotely nice about fall. The world turns grey and brown, cold and dark. All the colours of the summer fade and even if the sun shine it’s not warm. I feel like everything around me is dying and my mood drops and stays low until April.

This is one reason behind my boredom which I wrote about in my previous entry. Of course I don’t want to go out when the world outside my window is all grey and cold. So I stay inside and become terribly bored. I’ve decided on my new hobby though. A few people recommended knitting so I’m going to try that out. I’ll start with something easy. Probably a hat. Wish me luck!

Indoor hobbies

I’m in a weird place right now. I’m bored with my routines and yet I don’t really feel like doing anything or seeing anyone. I’m not really up for leaving my apartment unless I have to but I do need something new to do. A hobby. A new hobby which doesn’t force me to see anyone or go out. Kind of like all my hobbies. Except for parties and such.

I paint, I write, I read, I sew, I have this site and I occasionaly play computer games. What more hobbies are there that are best done in solitude? I’ve thought of scrapbooking but that’s not really my thing. I thought about Feng Shui aswell but I’m not too fond of the idea that mystical energy forces should be what decides where my furniture should be placed. Origami seems too dull and I wouldn’t know what to do with my paper figures anyway. I’m not a fan of cooking. I can’t do any carpentry in my apartment. I’m not into photography. Making jewelry is fun, for ten minutes. I tried wicca with tarot cards and all that when I was a teenager but I’m too sceptical for such things nowadays.

What more is there?!

Give me tips of fun indoor hobbies! Preferably creative ones. I’m an artist!

School and apartment hunt

I’m watching Austin Powers movies tonight. I’m going to bed soon though because I have school tomorrow. Not until 1:15 PM, but still. I need lots of sleep to function and I plan to be at school a bit earlier to have a cup of coffee and relax for a while.

I’ve been doing some maths today and even though I’m having some trouble I manage. I struggled with a number for ages so I took a break from it and called my mom. After I had talked with her for an hour or so I looked at the number again and all the sudden it clicked and I was like I GET IT NOW! I think I’ll manage this course. The difference between now and high school is that I’m really trying now and I won’t give up. I don’t expect do do anything more than barely pass but as long as I pass I’m happy.

Wow, I’m really becoming boring. First I don’t blog for ages and when I finally blog all I write about is school! But it’s such a big deal for me to be back in school. It feels like a new phase of my life. I’m barely managing but I won’t give up. I won’t allow myself to. This is important in so many ways.

I’m still looking for an apartment in Jönköping and Gothenburg but it seems impossible. I found a nice apartment in Gothenburg but more than 3000 other people are interested in it so it’s not likely I stand a chance. Jönköping is a smaller town than Gothenburg but it’s still very hard to find a cheap apartment there. Sweden needs a new Million Programme. The Million Program was a housing project between 1965-1974. In ten years one million apartments and houses were built. Unfortunately many of the houses were boring concrete suburbs but at least people had somewhere to live. If I had to choose between living with my parents in their big house or in my own small apartment in a concrete suburb I’d choose the suburb. Because I’m 25 years old and don’t exactly fancy living with mom and dad. Well at least I do have a nice apartment. Unfortunately in a town I don’t enjoy living in.  If I had liked Hultsfred my living situation would have been perfect. My apartment has a central location. You pretty much can’t live more central than I do. And the entire house I live in had a total renovation about six years ago so everything is nice and new. On top of that my living room, hallway and bathroom are blue. I LOVE blue! My apartment is pretty, pretty, pretty. But still situated in Hultsfred.

School’s out forever – NOT!

I haven’t studied since high school from where I graduated in 2002 but now I’m going back to school. I failed three courses in high school. Maths A, Maths B and Sign language B. I have no clue how courses are set up in other countries but here it basicly works like this.

1. You read different courses of which all have a number of points. Maths A is the first maths course and is a 100 point one, Maths B is a continuation course of 50 points. You need a minimum of x points (I don’t remember how many) to be qualified to enter a university. Fail courses = less points. Fail enough courses and you’re not qualified.

2. Whatever you plan to study at a university you need grades in Maths A, Swedish A and English A. Fail one of those and you’re not qualified.

Since I failed as many as three courses I don’t have enough points and on top of that I failed a base course. If I ever want to go to a university I have to fix this. So I’m going back to school to study maths. I’m going to Komvux, which is school for adults who need to improve their high school education. Right now I’m kinda nervous since it’s been so long since I went to school and whatever maths I once knew I’ve forgot. My knowledge of mathematics is that of a 13 year old, I kid you not!

One fun thing about going back to school was to buy school stuff today. I felt like a little kid when I picked out a pencil case, notebook, exercise book and some other stuff.

Oh btw, thanks for the replies to my previous post. I’ll take the majorities advice to buy the checkered dress. :)
