Quite uninteresting but sometimes funny…

Yep, been listening to Bowie again…

Got some rather disturbing news this morning. First I realised that everyone at work seems to hate me and that I need to win money so I can quit and never have to work again. Second, my family is having big, BIG problems back home.

Anyway, I try to be in a cheery mood! What else can I do? Except for buying lottery tickets I mean.

Im too down to write something funny today. Ill try to bounce back tomorrow.

I love you! Yes, I do! Whos a good reader? YOU are, yes, YOU are!

Im gonna stay at AJ’s tonight. Not another night on that fucking mattress! Or I mean, Im going back tomorrow, but that will mean only two morw nights. I thought I fixed the damn thing, but nooo. I was wrong, it didnt have a hole somewhere else (feels a bit dirty here…) it was the same fucking hole (very dirty…) that was leaking…air! But now its gon from bad to worse so I woke up with my back flat on the ground with my legs up in the air (very dirty!).

Lee came by yesterday and we talked about him shaving off his beard. I said that he would probably get more girls without the beard. Then Lee was quiet for a bit before he said: “but when we moved here I didnt have a beard for more than six months and I still didnt get any girls!”

Life is hard

Thought I managed to fix the mattress from hell (you know what Im talking about) with help from a new fixing patch and loads of nailpolish an a finish with a bit of plastic from a Boots bag. I can be quite handy when I want to! Anyway, I waited three hours before i sat on the mattress so it could dry and everything. While I was waiting I was sitting on the floor I watched some more Harry Potter and realised the one that B fancied the most in those movies was Viktor Krum, the Bulgarian quidditch player…So not my type but totally hers. Enough about Harry Potter (Rupert is still the hottest…).

Also saw “Hollyoaks later”. Brittish readers know what Hollyoaks is and for Swedish readers, Hollyoaks is a daily (mon-fre) soap like “Vänner och Fiender” or simular. And sometimes they have “Hollyoaks later” which is extra uncensored episodes that starts 10 at night. These episodes is mainly people getting drunk, shagging everywhere and swearing like sailors! Its wonderful! And it happens like one week a year…I used to hate Hollyoaks but then I started watching it and once you started its really hard to stop! Ive tried, but now its too late! Was sitting in my room chainsmoking watching it and saying stuff like “no, way!”, “oh, you are a very naughty boy arent you?” and ”oh no, she didnt!”. Ok, not really, but you get the drift!

Btw, yesterday I called my friend B who lives together with my other friend Stringan. I absolutley love B and Stringan, they are wonderful people and I love hanging out with them. Anyway, when B answered the phone she was laughing and then she told me that both her and Stringan had their computers up and was reading this blog at the same time! B was ok with me outing her moviecrushes thou she had to admit they where all true…

And back to the mattress again! I think I fixed the hole, but I still woke up in a bowl of Jello and had to fight my way up. I have my suspicions that there is another hole in the mattress that Ive havent found yet! Only 4 nights left thou, Im counting the days! Ive decided to really murder the mattress on sarurday! Im gonna inflate it as much as possible and then Im gonna take the sharpest kitchen knife I have and stab it repeatedly until I know for sure its dead! Then I can finally get my closure on the mattres from HELL!

Other things that goes on in my life is that Im getting a stand whisk in a red retro design for christmas from my grandmother! How do I know this? Its because the devilish thing weighs around 8-9kg so I cant take it on the plane with me back from Sweden when I go there so I have to order it myself here in England and then get money from my grandmother on Christmas. And because I cant wait, Im gonna order it tomorrow when I get paid. I thought about getting it delivered to my job, but then realised I now (after saturday) have to take two trains and a bus to get home, so Im getting it delivered to AJ’s work instead. He only has to take one bus to work. Hehehe….! The amazing machine also kan knead dough so Im making Lussebullar for Christmas! A small part of me kinda wish that AJ doesnt like them so I will have them all for myself! Come January I will be Hurly-from-Lost- fat!

Im in christmas spirit! Like Tiny Tim would say: “Come on, lets get this party staaartin’!”

Ive been listening to a bit of gaypop today. When I say gaypop i mean gay as in happy with a twist of gay as in homusexual. Gaypop for me is for example Mika, Alphabeat and some Bowie songs. Alphabeat is my new favourites in the genre (which i just made up) gaypop. Basically its pop that makes you want to sing a long loudly on the train and makes you happy. Kinda. From my point of view, certain songs can be gaypop, even thou the rest of the songs on that album or from that artist is rock, hiphop or whatever.
Anyway, Alphabeats 10,000 nights makes me that happy. It might be commercial, mainstream or whatever bad words true music “know-it-alls” would call it, but it makes me want to stand up in the train and engage all the other passengers in a sing and dance number or have this happy inner film be played for me of me running around with my friends etc.

So to come to a conclution, GAYPOP RULES! Especally in grey, cold, credit-crunch times like these!

My weekend was far from funny and interesting. On friday I had plans with IL which ended in horror and drunkeness like never before. But at least it wasnt me this time. We started at IL where I met Ellie’s brother who was telling me how it is to be a journalist and how much funnier it was to work on a small local newspaper than on TT (Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå, its like Reuters), yeah right! Then me and IL went to Clapham and there it went baaad. Well forgive and forget and its gone. It like God used to say; “shit happens”.

Saturday I spent writing christmascards, drinking coffe and shopping. Met up with IL and R on Costa and we complained about life like we do. I love hanging out with them! Realised in the end I didnt have any money left and had to borrow some from Leo…
I stayed in by myself on saturday, something I havent done in ages and it was so nice! Had a Johnny Depp/Chocolate evening and started with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Brilliant film, it never gets boring!! Started to think about my friend B who has a crush on Willy Wonka, yes I know, shes insane. She was also the only one in school who liked BIRK from Ronja Rövardotter and Tommy from Pippi Långstrump. And people think I  have a weird taste in men! Finished the evening off with Chocolate. Two movies that has Johnny Depp and loads of chocolate in them can never go wrong!

Tried to fix my air mattress as well. I found the hole. A tiny devilish hole that was the reason why I always woke up feeling like Ive been swallowed by a bowl of Jello. Naturally I didnt find those fix patches that came with the mattress, so I tried to fix it with a bikini wax stripe. Went ok…

Sunday I spent packing and throwing away stuff. Why oh, why dont people (me) throw away those window envelopes that you bankstatements etc comes in? I never do even thou I know its only the actual letter thats ment for saving. I found about 6 months worth of window envelopes from my bank, my phone operator and so on. Not even with letters in them!
Naturally my waxstripe fix didnt work so after finding the patches i thougt that this would be a piece of cake. Obviously I was wrong. The devil hole refused to be patched up. In the end I put nailpolish around the egdes and then some plastic over. This worked for an hour or so. Then…it all went to hell again! Ive got 5 nights left on that devil mattress and then Im gonna throw it away, laughing an evil laugh while I do it. Maybe cut it to pieces first just to get the true feeling of that Ive destroyed it!

Went through my DVDs yesterday and found Harry Potter 1-5. Started watching them and oh, god the first one! Americanised and you see this sweet innocent Daniel Radcliffe who now is a total diva sleeping around (who wouldnt? I would if I was 18 and was Harry Potter). In the third one Rupert Grint is starting to get hot. Also noticable in the third one, all the characters has better hair.

In the begining me and my friends where all too old to fancy anyone in the Harry Potter films, but now when they are older, if still feels wrong, but wrong in a naughty way…the good naughty way, haha! Wheras I can imagine Daniel Radcliffe to have the most fans and wannabegroupies I for one never fancied him. Ive always fancied Rupert Grint. The redhead who gets muscly arms later on in the movies and….ah, well, shouldnt continue that sentence.

And then we have Emma Watson. Its just wrong, shes gorgeous! And when you live in the UK you see her face everywhere!

On the older side, I will join in with my mum and say Ive alwasy kinda fancied Snape…but hot of hot is Sirius Black! B alwyas had a crush on him as well as Oliver Wood (captain over Gryffindors Quidditch team). I think B is going to hate me four outing her movie crushes here on the blog…and I think I have to realise I know way to much about Harry Potter…

So to come to a conclution here as well, Rupert Grint is hot.

Is it just me or is there a limit to plucking your eyebrows? I mean, yes Im shallow now, I do pluck my eyebrow cause if i didnt I would look like a mixture between Frida Kahlo and a wookie but jsut enough you know. I see this woman on the train almost every day and she looks like a normal woman, dresses in buissnes chlotes and shes not a chav, but still, her eyebrows are like two tiny hairs on each side. It just ´makes her face look enormous and I just want to shake her and say “stop it! It doesnt look good!”. But maybe that would be stepping over the edge a bit…

And talking (writing?) about people on public transport! Yesterday I was sitting in the corner of the bus and next to me a mouthbreathing old man sat down next to me. And what does he do? Oh, yeah, take up a pack of cheese and onion crisps! What is wrong with people in this country?! And due to traffic, the bus ride who normally take about 10min, took about 20 min! Which meant 20min sitting next to a man eating cheese and onion crisps. And those stink like hell!!

This post was almost as unintersesting as the dinner I had last nigh so Im stopping for now.

Have a good weekend all!

European guy: I just saw Sven, that weird Swedish guy, an hour ago. Thought he already left?

American guy: I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe Scandinavians aren’t human after all –just robots from the future.

Sorry for no uppdate yesterday, I vas very, very stressed and had, for the first time ever, loads of imposrtant stuff to do. I was running aroung with a notepad and my Pilot G-2 07 gel ink (black ink) pen (also called the best pen EVER!) and my phone in the other and everytime I sat down my my desk I had 10 new important emails to take care of. I think I handle it well, but I really know I didnt. Now, I get the feeling, maybe Im not good enough for this job?

Anyway had people in for training yesterday, signing contracts and whatnot. Today everyone hates me cause I acted like a total bitch yesterday. Have appologised thou. Dont know if it sunk in, but one can only hope.

I see my readers are increasing a bit! Makes me glad and a bit more evil. Please tell your friends! Im gonna get worse than Alex Schulman!

What more? Im moving in with AJ next week. Insane I know. To the south!!! But he has promised me Clapham after new yrs!

I need to do more stuff, thats just it! Waking up from the coma!

Saw “Never mind the Buzzcocks” yesterday…ah, Simon! I want to take you home you sweet, sweet gay man!

Hi all!

Friday was very, very, VERY drunken. IL backed out due to tiredness so I met up with John alone. We had, as always, a very nice time! We went to one of those pubs that have Alpine lager for £2.10 a pint and that is very dangerous regarding you can get drunk for less. Then Lee met up with us and Lee and John started being mean to me as usual. When they do I just take a deep breath and smile. I know they mean well, those evil bastards. Me and John started talking about sex, as we always do and the very asexual Lee was feeling a bit uncomfortable, haha! Had a few and a few more and then Bradybunch and American friend came by. Went to another pub and kept on drinking while making art with PISA pieces. Also played some bingo of which I was the natural leader. American friend turned out to be crazy but also very lovley.

When it was way too late to go home, both me and Lee stayed over at Johns. Who happen to live in the same corridor as Bradybunch and (for the night) American friend. S2 and girlfriend also lives there but they where full asleep when we got there. Anyway. Lee stayed in the livingroom and I stayed in Johns room. Me and John came in to deep stuff and talked about life. I really, really like that man. He is a very good friend. Woke up with hangover like hell and after saying hello to S2 and girlfriend and moaning around in the flat for an hour or so, me and Lee decided to go in to London Bridge for coffe. Met a grimreaper or something giving me cupons for “The London Bridge Experience”-simular to “The London Dungeon” and asked if Lee was my “manfriend”. “Well he is almost a man and he is my friend so I guess he is my manfriend”, I answered. Got five cupons anyway…
Then we sat like two hangover monsters at Cafe nero by the “Golden Hind” while I was puting make up on to create the illusion that I was fresh. Which I obviously wasnt. Thats the thing I hate when you spontaniously spend the night at someone. You have to get up the next day wearing yesterdays knickers and it just doesnt feel right. After some coffe for Lee and juice for me (didnt trust myself of drinking coffe just yet) we went back to Borough Market to meet up with Bradybunch, American friend, S2 and girlfriend. Lee left not long after that and then I was the fifth wheel, woohoo! Called IL who promised to come by, unfortunally it took such a long time and I realised i had someone coming by to look at my room so I had to get home. IL went on to the Francis Bacon show instead, which Im a bit afraid to go to…

Well home I showered for an hour and still hungover cleaned my room. After showing my room for possible new tennant, I went home to AJ and have spent the rest of the weekend there eating candy and watching movies. Life is great! Except that yesterday I had to do some foodshopping and I felt like a housewife stuck in Surrey. Not fun.

Now, at work. Not so  much of an surprise I guess. Tomorrow the two people that I hired are coming over to go over their contract. I feels very, very weird having hired two people, I gotta say!

See ya

I saw a documentary on Channel 4 (I think) yesterday called Rich Kid, Poor Kid about the differences in society. They where interviewing one rich kid who had grown up in a 6 bedroom house in the nicest part of Clapham and who went to Eaton. The other kid (kid, and kid, they where both around 16-17) lived in a council flat thats seen better days with her mum and her brother. The houses lay about 10 min walk from eachother, but still theese girls have never met.
I understand the thought of the whole documentary. Two different worlds brought together and where they really so different and so on but all I could think of was, yes it is insane that Britain, who is suposed to be a rich country has so big differences between rich and poor, but both of the girls were whiny little well…bitches. I dont want to come of wrong here, they where both about 16-17 and who isnt a whiny little bitch around that age anyway? I certainly was.

It was just insane, seeing the poor girl trying to get a job and support her unemployed mom and little brother, living in a councilflat and then go over to the rich girl who didnt think they were rich at all, cause to be rich “you have to have at least a few milions in the bank” and apparently they only had 1-2 milions in the bank. Ah, life is hard. I dont blame her thou, its all about the uppbringing. Her mom where talking about the dangerous “blacks” who would stab you if you went by the councilflats. And, sure, that was racist, but I promise you, if she would have met a black (if thats allowed to say anymore) family who had 7milion pounds in the bank and was living in say, Westminster, I doubt that she would have a problem with them. Its not only a thing about racism between “races” (and I write “races” cause i dont belive in “races” when it comes to human beings), its about racism between rich and poor. All the predjudices that we have. In sweden, I dont think they are as big as they are here, cause its better to be “poor” in Sweden than in the UK. Ok, Im not saying its easy to be poor in sweden, that would just be wrong, but comparing to the UK, its easier. And off course we are full of predjudices as well, but it seems to be worse here and thats not surprising cause the gaps are worse here.

Anyway, enough about that! Then I watched Russel Brands Ponderland. And what a load of shit! I used to like Russel Brand, I used to think he was funny, but now? And no, this has nothing to do withe the Brand/Ross story. That was childish but what could you expect from them? Russel is Russel and Jonathan Ross clibing on 50 yrs now, is desperatly trying to hold on to the top and is doing that by hanging on to Brand who is still there.
Anyway, I used to like Russel Brand. I used to think he was funny. But now? All that he does is scream very loudly like a kid and talk about masturbating. And the thing is, hes always done that. I used to cry of laughter about what this man said and the fact that he had no boundaries. But that desperate screaming voice. It looks like he now is the one who is trying everything in his power to stay ontop. And maybe he things “well, if I start screaming LOUDER, then people would find me funnier??” Tone it down Russel, be good again, cause this is hardly your best! I belive in you!

Shit, I forgot! I have work to do!

See ya!

Ive been trying to reach my bed company about the delivery on my bed. Ive been calling them and sent them emails and today I got an answer saying that unfortunally my bed wasnt in stock…which is weird cause I distinctly remember my bed being in stock when I ordered it! So no, I wont get a bed on friday. I will have to continue sleeping on my fucking air mattres!

Im so mad I want to go over to their office and scream and kick down their computers and thorw around their important papers until they give me my bed!! Unfortunally their office arent in London, so I cant do that…

The only thing thats been chering me up today is looking at THIS link that i got from Klas Lindbergs blog. I was looking at the pictures in a mix of disgust and delight. And some of them made me laugh out loud!

Hope your days are better than mine!
