Only six more days until graduation. I already had a dress but apparently I have another one now. I kept my friend company while she was looking for something to wear for graduation when I saw this wonderful blue, summery dress. Being cheap, I didn't want to spend 360 crowns on a dress when I already had one for graduation. Then I started to think ( Read more... )

I love how my friend Amira and I had a phone conversation while she was cleaning the kitchen in her dorm and I was scrubbing my bathroom floor. Who says that cleaning has to be boring ( Read more... )

9:00: Went to an apartment display with my friend, who happens to be male and gay. The apartment could have been great, except that it was in desperate need of renovation. The caretaker stopped us on our way out to inform us that they would renovate the place before the new tenant moved in and kept saying "you two" when referring to us. Afterwards ( Read more... )

I've been feeling very stressed out this week since there's so much to do before Christmas. I have a poster size "To do"-list, a very detailed one with lists of what I was supposed to do every day of this week plus a "Others" column where I wrote a grand list of stuff that I had to do but wasn't tied to a specific day. Luckily I've managed to cross ( Read more... )

I reread the entry I wrote earlier. The wording came out kind of wrong. It made me realize how staying here has made me feel so removed from everything that is my ordinary life. I feel like it's been ages since I've talked to the people I usually talk to every day or so. It's like my present self has slipped back into the life of my younger self ( Read more... )

In one of my previous entries I wrote about how I hated being back in my hometown and how I hated bumping into former friends and classmates. I've been here a little more than a week now and that is exactly what has happened. I've seen so many people who I used to hang out with when I was 13-18 but then lost touch with or just didn't want to see ( Read more... )

Writer's block: Where do you call home?Oh, I remember doing a speech in high school about this. This topic is rather special to me because to most people home means a place where they've grown up and lived in for a long time. It does to me too, but to me my home is my third uncle's house in El Monte, CA. I've never actually lived there, just stayed ( Read more... )

I must be bored tonight, I never post this many entries in one day ( Read more... )

This weekend has been about celebrating my birthday, which has been a thousand times better than I expected. I've been meaning to do a whole post on the men in my life because the ones that are here for me right now are so wonderful and I can't praise them enough. The night of my birthday the guys decided to cook for me. They made pancakes and ( Read more... )

For some odd reason I felt like making an entry in form of a list.

• I've been back in Stockholm for a couple of days now. Most of my time has been spent doing laundry and unpacking the gazillion things I bought this summer, but nevertheless it's good to be back. The ever trusty guys that I live with are still here and still as adorable as ever.
