The dark, cold , beautiful season of winter and Christmas is upon us, and I’m sick. I’ve been coughing and sniffling since Wednesday morning, and my head feels like it’s stuffed wit...
Oh boy….Has it really been three months since I blogged last? I blame the…eh…eh….t he mountain trolls. That’s right. The mountain trolls. *nods* I had not simply forgott...
Tada! Here it is! Part 2 of my top 10 or so childhood obsessions and things. Let’s kick it off with something epic, shall we? 6. Dinosaurs:I used to love, love, love dinosaur toys as a child. O...
I am one of the lucky million who gets to beta-test Pottermore, and yesterday, after what felt like an excruciatingly long two week wait, I finaly got my Welcome mail. Honestly, I understand that the...
I work part-time at a library. Libraries have all kinds of fun,wonderful, strange things. A few months back I found a book called “Childhood-the 90′s.” It listed and explained diffe...
Everyone has their big What If”s. What if you had turned right instead of left while driving? What if you had chosen a different career, or had the courage to go for that seemingly impossible g...
This past week has been so strange. After the bombing in Oslo and the massacre at Utøya, the entire country went into mourning. I’ve been feeling a mixture of numbness, shock,sadness and grati...
This song speaks volumes right now.
I am writing this with tears in my eyes, and I’m unable to sleep. Today, at 15.20, Oslo, Norway, was hit by a bomb, and a following shooting at a Labour Party youth camp. 17 people have been co...
It all began close to 14 years ago, in 1997. I was twelve, and my father had recently gotten back from the U.S. after a trip there through his job. Back with him he brough a book - Harry Potter and t...
Reading Badgers story of her brothers soapy adventure, I was inspired to tell a little story of my own. When I was little, I used to love the smell of our apartment during spring cleaning. My mom wou...
My love for Plinky keeps growing. This post was very much inspired by two of their prompts: “What does your fitness routine consist of?” and “Share your preferred form of exercise.&...
It’s been ages since the last time I posted one of these! It must have been at least two and a half years, I think. But today I stumbled upon a quotation I really liked and I figured I’...
So, I’ve been ignoring the picture challenge I have going for a while now. I lost interest and just didn’t feel like it. But I’m going to try to pick it up again. So here it is, day...
When it comes to music, I’m weird. I’m pretty much omnivorous, and I’ll listen to just about anything as long as I think it sounds great, genre be damned. As such, my iPod is packed...
25 years, 6 months and 13 days. That’s how long we’ve known each other. From the second I was born, you were there for me, even if it meant raising me alone, or spending your nights onl...
Another Plinky-post! For some reason I haven’t had a lot to write about lately, so these topics have been lifesavers! Could have something to with the fact that most of my free time is spent ha...
I was bored. Beyond bored. There was nothing interesting on Facebook, nothing interesting on tv – not even on Animal Planet or Discovery, my two default channels! – for once I didn’...
Plinky prompted us to describe the place we grew up, and explain why we still live there or why we moved. I don’t really have a place I grew up in. As an “air force brat” I moved a...
Imagine this: You wake up. A bright, blueish light fills your room, and there’s a chill in the air despite the heater you’ve bought to combat the winter temperatures. You look outside, an...
This post I dedicate to you, my epic friend and neighbor Jasnette. I’m so proud of you!!! You got through your first Yoga class! And you did great! *Beams* Much better than me on my first try...
A picture of a book you are currently reading. Right now I’m reading Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees. I’m about half way through the book, and so far I’m really liking...
Todays mission: A photo of you that your hair looks nice in. Well…I couldn’t find a picture where my hair looks good. It usually just looks like a tangle of curls and knots. I blame it on...
Yes, the challenge is back!! And todays mission: Nicknames you have – why do you have them? I’ve had a few nicknames. In elementary school it was Rake, the Oracle ( In Norwegian, Rachel and o...
Tomorrow is the last day of 2010. I can’t exactly say I’m sorry to see the year come to an end though. It’s been a rough 365 days, and I wouldn’t relive them if I could. Hopef...
After a “short” break, I’m back, and here is day 16 of the photo-challenge: Your favorite lyrics! My favorite lyrics, and one of my favorite songs in general, is Nightwish’s ...
It’s been almost a month since I blogged last. I suck. I’ve just been completely uninspired lately. There are so many things I would love to write about- school and exam nerves, having st...
A photo of something you enjoy doing: Drawing. Pain and simple. It’s just one of my loves, thought. Reading, music, watching movies, taking pictures…. And now I’m halfway through t...
Since I’ve been really bad at posting one of these every day(blame it on laziness and tiredness), I decided to post two days with of the challenge today. Day 13: A picture of you last year and ...
Yes, I realize that this is almost a week late. I just haven’t had the energy to blog at all. I’ve been too busy pretending to be a human hamster. Anyway, here it is: The 30-Day Picture C...
