November!

Good day and welcome to the closing chapter of November month, it sure has been eventful.
To let us look forward to November extra much next year: Here's all the things you can do!

November month is NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month
- Write 50, 000 words in just 30 days, the novel you've always had inside you.

NaArMaMo - National Art Making Month
- Make one piece of art every day (it's actually for August, but August\November, who cares - right?)

November is Month of the Moustache
- I do not agree, moustaches should not have a month, never, not any time of the year. But go ahead, please - grow one and REMAIN SINGLE for all I care!

NaSweKniMo - National Sweater Knitting Month
- Knit a 50, 000 stitch sweater in just 30 days, sounds familiar? Sounds fun!

NaBloPoMo - National Blog Posting Month
- Post every day in the month of November! Do this if you find it hard to get into a blogging - routine.

I also Finished my NaNoWriMo myself today. I've decided to at least remove about five to six chapters that I added purely for the word-count, and all the shit I wrote today. Maybe add perhaps one or two new ones that have to be done with more care than the previous ripped and smashed together ones.

In addition I have a word-count syndrome that will ensure long posts in the near future, but I am sure the internet will teach me how to shorten the length of my thoughts with some nifty new abbrevations.

Thank you everyone, and Good night .

Life is round, has a hole in the centre and makes no sense whatsoever

A circle is the shape that symbolizes everything that goes on forever. A circle goes around, and after going around; it goes around again, and then again; around one more time, always.
We have other shapes to simulate the same motion, but a circle - we are certain - if complete: Goes on forever.

If love eternal; decides to stay with us until the end of time - love is much like a circle too, this certain love of course, that will never end (the love that goes around and round).

Life is not just to be alive, life is to give and take, teach and learn, to hold and let go of. The only thing we know for sure is that we won’t get out of it alive. But life is not just about being alive, life is about loving, and if our love is eternal, may life then go on forever? A different plane of reality where to breathe will not be necessary, that can be life too, can it not? Will we (our spirit and soul) cease to exist?

Let’s say that life is like that then, it will end, but not completely, our heart will stop to beat, technically we will die, though our life will be round – embraced by love that will never end. Like a doughnut.

But if we are dead, our senses will not sense.

And if we like to believe in this, then after death maybe life is round, has a hole in the centre and makes no sense whatsoever.

FLONG!

TOOOOOOOOO-BA-ba-ba-ba!

















That is all.

The IWNBBAB

Hello, I've recently (actually only this moment) started this fab organization! It's called:
I Will Not Blog Blogs About Blogging (IWNBBAB)
Please join today!

It is all very easy, place the image(s) on your sidebar of your blog or wherever you want it to be, but don't put it under the carpet, because then nobody will be able to see it!

NaNoWriMo - The Progress

Quote by Mary Wilson Little

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
- Mary Wilson Little

Stress does not evolve from the things that you have yet to do, stress is all the things you were supposed to have done. So even though Christmas is approaching, I'm obviously not really stressed by anything except schoolwork and NaNoWriMo. Christmas presents, decorations and family coming home will not stress me just yet. Of course the looming threat of older siblings returning from their point of departure with sledges ready for some younger sister beating - is, as always - constantly there.

Whenever I write nasty things about them, something I'd be most delighted to do, I can feel the threat wiggle like an oversized jelly. Coming to think of it (seeing I've already managed to make myself quite unpopular in terms of my older brother, of recent) the amount of beating I will receive will probably add up and make just about the same as if I DID NOT write nasty things about my siblings.

What else are they for - if not to beat me up a little?
Of course it is possible for me to be equivocate enough for them to not fully realise that I'm actually writing dodgy things about them, and so the amount of beating would still be the same. So why waste time trying to be subtle and discreet, when I can simply be loud, rude, direct and evil? Well, my dear reader: It would not sting as bad.

Grown-ups seem to find it stressful to call somebody what they are, like if a person is a bit of a spac, they would say things like "challenged" or "special". I know for certain that if a grown-up would call me "different" or "exceptional", I'd be sure to aim that bullet straight, because that is even worse than getting the real diagnosis. Equally, a sure undertone of truth would sting far more than an overly loud lie. Being called an "idiot", when one is in fact, not really an idiot, the insult would make very little impact. Minuscule, in fact.

Been blogging for one year and a day!

Whoop! How incredibly amusing, I have actually updated this blog an entire year, not bad - eh?.
And now, for something completely different:

Last night, I discovered something lurching around in the bushes outside my room. Since I was incredibly busy sticking my feet out the window, I did not bother to take any notice to it, but after a short while: I simply had to! Being a bit tired I found it very hard to clarify exactly what it was, but it was making this sucking. pulsating, squirming sound, just like somebody were vacuuming the insides of a watermelon. Of course I discovered that it was not a pulsating and squirming vacuumer sucking the juice out of a melon - it was, in fact: A deadly-razor-hopping-spider-reptile-sneezer-with-wheels. And this was an exceptionally large one too.

Since I had never seen one of these before, I was unpleasantly suprised at first, you know the deal: twitching up ones face to express the deepest disgust and then heavy up-pinching of nostrils, eyebrows and chin. After going through the whole "eeeew" procedure, I wanted to poke it a bit, which is naturally always the thing that follows finding something that is rather revolting. Well, thing is, I do not usually keep a stick well suited for poking in my room, so I had to find the second-best thing to poke something repulsive with, which at the time seemed unavoidibly to be - Tim the cross-eyed giraffe my left leg.

This morning I was sooo excited to hear that crutches are SO trendy, and is going to be the No. 1 fashion accessorie this winter.

A part from that: WH0OP-who0p-WHOoP-Kaaaaaaaa-CHING!

Claymation!

Nobody makes a good toast like Spongebob Squarepants

Both dog and Viking were satisfied with the result.

And here's some more from the Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band concert that Liv Elin and I were on the other day:

A hydrogen atom lost its electron and went to the police station to file a missing electron report. He was questioned by the police: "Haven't you just misplaced it somewhere? Are you sure that your electron is really lost?"
-"I'm positive." replied the atom.

A patient says: "Doctor, last night I made a Freudian slip, I was having dinner with my mother-in-law and wanted to say: 'Could you please pass the butter.' But instead I said: 'You silly cow, you have completely ruined my life'."

Two buddies were sharing drinks while discussing their wives.
"Do you and your wife ever do it doggie style?" .
"Well ... not exactly." his friend replied, "She's more into the trick dog aspect of it."
"Oh, I see, kinky, huh?"
"Well ... not exactly ... I sit up and beg and she rolls over and plays dead."

Son: "Daddy, I have to write a special report for school, but I don't know what Politics is."
Father: "Well, let's take our home as an example. I am the bread-winner, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mum is the administrator of money, so we'll call her Government. We take care of your need, so let's call you The People. We'll call the maid the Working Class and your brother we can call The Future. Do you understand son?"
Son: "I'm not really sure, Dad. I'll have to think about it."
That night awakened by his brother's crying, the boy went to see what was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled his diaper, the boy went to his parents' room and found his mother sound asleep. He went to the maid's room, where, peeking through the keyhole, he saw his father in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went totally unheeded by his father and the maid, so the boy returned to his room and went back to sleep.
The next morning he reported to his father. Son: "Dad, now I think I understand what Politics is."Father: "Good son! Can you explain it to me in your own words?"
Son: "Well Dad, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, Government is sound asleep, the People are being completely ignored and the Future is full of Shit."

So perhaps there is no wonder that people don't understand why one might set oneself a personal goal. Take NaNoWriMo for example; to win you have to write 50, 000 words in 30 days, if you win you get your name on the Winner's List, nothing more. No trophy or diploma, just the honour and glory.

People ask me why I don't just copy and paste the same chapter over and over until I have 50, 000 words, or why I don't sit on my keyboard until I have enough words. It is so easy to cheat, so why not?
Sometimes, my dear friend, it can be nice to set a goal purely for oneself, even though it is ridiculously hard to reach or perhaps even unachieveable. There doesn't have to be a prize, or an award, it is a reward enough in itself to have accomplished something. Maybe people don't understand, maybe it actually is a waste of time.

I am actually suffering on the very brink of insanity, I have the most irregular progress bar going on, every word I write, every word I see or think of, I grab it. I will take the words and put them together, force them and mash them together, even though it might be incoherent and nonsensical, something inside me has stopped caring. I have written 31, 536 words so far - and I'm lagging behind, so i am most likely not going to make it, but I still try, I'm still working on it. Still writing, gathering, grabbing, thinking, putting together, forcing and incoherently mashing.
The result of course, is wondrous! It might not be classical and priceless, beautiful literature, but all this pressure is creating something spontaneous, something creative and strange, something tipped over the edge from peculiar, something dangling alarmingly close to stupid, but still managing to balance it - most of the time. It is brilliant, not as much the novel I'm somehow "creating", but all the pressure it puts on me, all the different ways it makes me use all of my creativity, forcing it into action!

(One of my other novels is actually 47, 046 words in Norwegian, but I spent way more than just a month on that, so considering that I'm used to be able to work a bit more relaxed - I'm very screwed under these conditions).

Ralph Myerz and The Jack Herren Band

Last night Liv Elin and I went to a concert to see Ralph Myerz and The Jack Herren Band, I've seen them live before, but this was even more amazing! iiiih, I'm all fuzzy and excited just when thinking about it.

They take the level of really ENTERTAINING so much further than just chatting between a few of the songs, even though they're all a bit plump and rather freaky, they spent most of the concert standing on their drumsets while playing! They pour water on themselves and everywhere and they throw their drumsticks around wildly.

Not to mention that their music is awesome! It was teh sex.

Sparkly with icons

Since you posted a song about my name, I'm posting something sparkly for you!
And also all these nice icons! whoop <3 src="http://xe5.xanga.com/f1c884000113114158736/z5213802.gif">



You will also find that 13 chapters of my NaNoWriMo Novel is out!

Have you seen this song?

It's some sort of an italian techno beat song, with a bit of house-ish style, quite heavy.
Sounds like something out of an anime theme-tune.
Goes a bit like this: "Ari-bari bara du du du-du du du"

So, if you've seen it, let me know alright?

Also, you should visit Mushroom & Muffin, she's done a proper job with her blog now, full of things that sparkle, shine, blink, glow and glitter. Worth the visit.

Love Online, Nothing to LOL about? - Redone

I love reading about people exploring things they don't know much about.
Like people seeing snow for the first time, or eating something they used to have yet to taste.

Today people can experience things new to them without even leaving their house, and even more splendidly: They can write articles about it. (Article from The Star).


Recommended! You should read it, it is quite cute, especially the part about claiming a warrior to have found his voidwalker. It is funny, whether you have played World of Warcraft, or not.

Pikablu aka Marill

At school today I was drawn into a discussion about whether this particular Pokémon's name was Marill or Pikablu.

Well, I suppose that called for some investigation.

So, using the wonders of Wikipedia I found this article.
Edited Excerpt:
Marill was one of the "preview" Pokémon to the second generation of Pokémon games, cards, and anime.
Before the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, rumors of a Pokémon named Pikablu had spread via the internet throughout the Pokémon community. When preview images of Marill were released, many fans thought it was to be the rumored Pikablu. These rumors were proven false when "Pikablu's" name was revealed to be Marill and when it was found that Marill is not related to Pikachu.
The Pikablu rumors are completely false. Pikablu does not exist and therefore there is absolutely no way to catch Pikablu.

I also found this:
Edited Excerpt (I kept the CAPS, it had such charm):
MARILL IS NOT PIKABLU. He never was and never will be! And Marill does NOT EVOLVE INTO RAIBLU! If you ask me, they look more like Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff than Pikachu and Raichu!

Stumbling over this next:
Edited Excerpt:
Marill: At first, many thought it was related to Pikachu and named it Pikablu. This, however, is not the case.

Conclusion: The real name of the Pokémon is Marill, the name Pikablu was purely hype and the creature only has one personality! Congratulations Marill, you are you, and not somebody else, bet that feels great - doesn't it?

If you're still not entirely convinced, why don't you get yourself a Marill and ask him in person? - let me know if he lets you in on a secret.

Thank you, and Goodnight!

Green Tea

Currently listening to: Silence is Easy by Starsailor
(recommending anything by Ambulance Ltd. and Groove Armada as well)

I just now brewed myself a cup of tea. It smells as if somebody have not recently deceased in it.

Green tea, with some lime and sugar in it. It arrives in a very tempting bag, it is pink and silver and it's called "Flower of the Geisha" or something, and it tricks me every single time.

The apparent smell of rabbit fodder doesn't immediately tick off my "danger danger don't drink" alarm, though few things actually do. I do like sherry.

However, this tea might be lightly green and have little things floating around in it, I am still determined to drink it all up.

So if anything happens to me, like I grow blisters around my eyes or die spontaneously when I notice one of my shoes are missing: You will know what caused it.

It doesn't make me feel any safer, and this tea still tastes like licking the face of the main-event in a funeral. (Not that I've ever done that, just the flavour I imagine is the very same as to what I'm indigesting right now).

Saluté!

How to Stop Talking to Yourself

Where are the keys?!

Okay, yesterday, Monday, Liv Elin and I had two hours in the middle of the day without lessons, so after doing Geography, Ancient History (In Elin's case: Biology) - we decided to go to United Bakeries. After all, we hadn't been there for eight weeks (I counted them!)

Because we use laptops for all our schoolwork, we also have these incredibly large and unflattering backpacks, seeing it would be very unnecessary to bring them aaaaaaall the way to United Bakeries, we locked them into our book-lockers.

So we went to the bakery and we had some coffee, it was all very nice.

When we arrived back at school, standing in front of our lockers, we realised that we had locked our keys in to the lockers!
UH-OH!

Luckily my next class was Law-Studies and we watched some predictable family comedy (what has the world come to?) so I didn't need my books. It was a raining cats and dogs (not literally, just a manner of speech) and took the bus home to get my extra-keys for the locker. Note that my laptop, my mobile, my housekeys, all my schoolbooks (and what's worse!) my iPod were in that locker. Just by getting home I got really wet because of the rain, so I got the key and I took the bus back again. Now I was really getting completely soaked, and I arrived at school looking like I had been swimming for yonks. Actually, I only came to school to discover that my extra-key didn't FIT, and I had to go back out into the rain without any of my stuff...

As I was approaching the bus stop, my bus had just stopped and was letting on some passengers. I ran to make it, and I could reach out and TOUCH the bus, still he closed the doors right in my face and drove away!

Someone up there, were having a lot of fun.

Liv Elin brought her extra keys today and got our things out, we will probably never lock our keys in again, ever. If we do, I will let you know, and you can come and hit me. Hard.

I like the Orange glow -Again!

"Orange Glow" by Me

Ok, ok, I know: Old news! - You've seen this before!
And: I haven't removed the two thirds of black screen! Zomg, you are starting to wonder why I am putting it here at all!

Well, to be entirely honest, it is there because I just figured out how Google Video now can put videos in your blog, just like videos from YouTube.

Nifty.
Anyway, I have made a newer version of this film with the same theme, but a bit longer. It's called "Careful What You Egg For", though it is not done yet! I've got all the raw material and the first part all edited, but then the rest is not all that finished. Not finished at all.

BLING BLING

Edit: Html bjoken, lol.

Step-brother!

Yes! YOU!

Today is your birthday - Happy Birthday!

And to celebrate your very happy and jolly birthday - let's play some good music!

I did not embed all the video's here, instead you can visit them yourself and have a look.

Happy, happy birthday
from all of us to you
we wish it was our birthday
so we could party too!

Whoop! whoop!

icon frenzy

Of course you have noticed the gobsmacking and breathtaking amount of icons at the bottom right of my sidebar?

Well I was actually safely strolling the internet (safely being slightly relatively put, seeing nothing is actually safe on the intarweb), and I walked straight upon Franksicons.com

What a huge mistake.

Anyway, such a shame to neglect all the nice icons I made, so I put them here! Please watch this too, because this song is wonderful.

"Moving" by Supergrass

Blogging was a revolution through media and allowed authorities or just the random average Joe to do the wildly-discussed mass communication.

These days, blogging is at it's most revolutionary when allowing one-to-one personal communication through messages to particular people.

Three cheers for this revolutionary mind.

Now that we suffered through the ENTIRE song

- What exactly is a "Fiskebolle"?

Yes! Of course! Please allow me to explain.
A "fiskebolle" basically means a "Fishball", you might know the asian version, but in Norway it is made of Norwegian white fish, served together with potatoes in white sauce with a hint of nutmeg.

For the playful and naughty ones, let me recommend some shrimp in the white sauce.

I am not going to tell you how it's made, because this is not a blog entirely about food, it is about viking thoughts. Now, some clever viking, I believe it to have been my sister (you might know her as "Stinky" or "SS Gestapo 3000" - my personal favourite is "Sugefisk" meaning "Suckfish" (Whitefin Sharksucker), anyway take your pick) and she taught me the song I just performed for you. To make your nights sleep a little easier, here's a little translation!

The Fishballs live in the ocean
The ocean is the Fishballs' home
this was the 1st verse
Now only 99 remains
and so on, and so on!! Fantastic! - isn't it?

The Entire "Fiskebolle" song

Brought to you by some Copy and Paste magic performed by yours truly!
Is best enjoyed when able to count.

Woho!

Funky Town

In English we had a school project last year, and it was about creating a fictive city in the UK using a wiki. I think people did a "naah" and wrote approx. ten words each.

Considering we were supposed to embark on a breath-taking adventure of collective thinking, I have reached the conclusion of there to have been very little thinking going on in the first place.
Anyway, as usual I could not resist the temptation of writing way too much, this time about the post office.

You can read the entire project about Funky Town here.

However, that is hardly very interesting, I think it is about time I write about something that is at least half-way captivating.

.... I wont do that now though.
Maybe later! Here, have a rain check.

A special eye for beauty

Not many have an eye that can capture things that are breathtaking, percieve what that is exceptional or gather all the little flaws, to make perfection.

To carve a stone in to a diamond or to change a piece of paper in to a bird.

Perhaps it requires a special mind, perhaps you need to be detached from other things around you.
Open one door, close another. Let the wind in until the curtains flow the exact right way.

One person, I think, that has a very special way of finding wonderful things, is my uncle Justin, he took a lot of photos when travelling the world, perhaps you would like to see them too?

One day I hope I can be as good as him at collecting things that are angelic.

"Nøkken" Norwegian fairytale creature - by Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914) is not as beautiful as it is scary, but is in a subtle way, at least for me, a little bit of both.

The things I don't like

I have serious trouble understanding why people would eat pickles.
You say the word 'pickle' and I hear the word 'poop'.

I think the cloying scent of pickles is the only thing that can beat the exceptionally revolting texture of canned mushrooms, and pickles is actually also the only thing that stand a chance at conquering the stinking mountain of sundried tomatoes.

Pickles are in other words a champion at being beastly and repellent.

I do not think that calls for any applause, but I do, however, think we require some Cilit Bang to remove your sudden urge to splutter down your intolerance towards my food selectiveness in the comment box.

To save the cash I suggest I just write down all the things that disgust me instead. (Of course this is not the least bit interesting, but I have been writing several thousand words on my NaNOWriMo novel today and need to express my deepest frustration).

1. Pickles - I believe I have made my point.
2. Sundried Tomatoes
3. Mushrooms - Fresh or canned, you are banned
4. Tom Cruise
5. Rocket - BLEEEURGH!!!11
6. Heavy perfumes
7. Bambi - worst. film. ever.
8. Reality TV
9. Pencils that break when you sharpen them
10. People walking slowly in front of you
11. Excess amounts of honey
12. Physical contact - Touch me, and die!
13. Cross-country skiing - AARGH!
14. Being cold - Which is like, all the time!
15. Compliments
16. Snot
17. Inpoliteness and Arrogance
18. Flaggpunch
19. Green-tea
20. Tellytubbies
21. Marzipan
22. Out-chewed chewing gum - you know when it kind of dissolves in your mouth
23. Sports!
24. Too much Coriander
25. Evil Jellyfish
26. People without confidence
27. Forcing Oneself to Write
28. --- Especially blogs

NaNoWriMo 2006

National Novel Writing Month 2006!

NaNoWriMo is about writing 50. 000 words in 30 days (starting November 1st) and to manage that, you have to write approximately 1667 words each day. Today (which is day three) I have written 3. 160 words, so I am lagging a bit behind, heh. The whole thing was introduced to me through Foss, thank you for that :)

Their site is experiencing some trouble, but it is a very nice project I think and you should definitely check it out.

I do intend to reach the goal of 50. 000 words, if you want to have a look at my progress, you can see it here.

Name of my novel (which is obviously quantity before quality) is "Forever Autumn", I believe you can read an excerpt on my progress profile. ZING.

The Norwegian Backpack

Serves one

You will need these ingredients:

• 1 way too large a backpack, preferably waterproof,
  (flourescent or strong in colours and equipped with
  lots of little clasps, hooks, buttons, zippers,
  pockets and plenty of room.)
• 2 oranges, hard to peel
• 1 Norwegian chocolate of choice
  (according to regulations: Kvikk Lunsj)
• 1 Matpakke
  (this is your lunch)
• 1 pair of extra woollen socks
• 2 pairs of extra woollen mittens
• 1 extra woollen jumper
  (according to regulations: Lusekofte)
• 1 map of your destination
  (note: "Tur" theoretical course for beginners)
• 1 camera
• 1 pair of sunglasses
• 2-3 bottles of sunscreen/sunblock
• 1 Jacket
  (Anorakk according to regulations)
• 1 skiwax kit
  (make sure you have all the different colours)

Pack everything in the repulsive backpack and go skiing. Remember to show respect towards the weather forecasts, and more importantly: It is not a shame to turn around!

(Yeah right, if I catch you attempting to turn around ONE more time, I'm withdrawing your Norwegian Passport for good)

Winter!

Winter is here! yes I know that all that sounds a bit early. But it snowed in Oslo yesterday! At first it didn't stay in it's original shape, but melted instantly when touching the ground. However, as the traffic increased and the temperature went down (even further!) it decided to stick around.

So, while I am writing this, I can absolutely confirm the presence of snow in our garden and out on the streets- terrific!
I also did the clever move of stealing my duvet back today, because I had put clean covers on it and let Audun use it when he was here this weekend. But today I decided that it wasn't actually of much use when nobody was using it (strange how that makes sense, eh?)

I have slept wonderfully without my own duvet of course, as I have just been using another one. It's just that there is something special about using your own duvet. I am fully able to sleep anywhere, I think I could even sleep in a fishtank if the opportunity would cross my path.

(the drawing I made is of how well I could sleep in a fishtank, and also how it is possible to drool underwater).
