Aliens. I am not egocentric enough to believe that we're alone in space, but I do cock an eyebrow at people who actually believe they've seen what we call "aliens". I don't believe the alien infiltration theories. If aliens had visited earth, why would they want to hide? They'd be vastly more intelligent than us anyway, and wouldn't be afraid to ( Read more... )

"I hope you feel better soon".

Seriously! Such an overused, meaningless filler which doesn't help you at all, if not to realise what friends actually care about you, and which ones don't.

Now this was a cool question that I just have to answer before going to sleep. I use two techniques. One is that I look for "signs". This is quite a ridiculous thing, but funny nonetheless. Say I need to make a decicion between... a red and a blue dress. Next time I'm driving I may for example think: "Now, if I meet a blue car first, I'll pick the ( Read more... )

Since this is J.K. Rowling's birthday and subsequently also Harry Potter's birthday, I would like to take a moment to say happy birthday to them both. These books have had a huge influence on my life so far. I was an avid reader before, but after I read the seven HP books, I've realised that there still are many brilliant stories to be told out ( Read more... )

I was thinking long and hard on this one, and I've come to the conclusion that no, I haven't had one specific mentor or other influental person. I'm someone who has grown up always surrounded with people who have been, and who still are, eager to give me pieces of their minds when it comes to my life. In one way I've been incredibly lucky. I've had ( Read more... )

I realise that I do not really have any good power outage stories. In fact, there are only two who were sort of memorable, and one wasn't even a power outage. It happened when there was an earthquake in Wales which measured 4.8 on the scale. Laura came running into my room and she lied down on the pile of pillows on my floor and said: "Did you ( Read more... )

I have not. I went through first aid training an awful lot of years ago in which we did CPR on one of those really heavy plastic/rubber dolls, but no, I've never been forced to do CPR on anyone in my life. I'm suspecting that will change if I become a doctor.

Weekend - so nice. I got a text this morning asking me if I could work some hours tonight, ( Read more... )

I have grown up with Michael Jackson, so I will do this little quiz thingy. There have been so many great songs coming from this man. The first album I ever bought was his "Dangerous" album, and the song I played to death was "Heal the world". I thought back then, and I think it now, too, that this song carries a great message. I ever translated ( Read more... )

I have. More than once during my stay in Peru I considered converting to Catholisism. Not really because I'm overly religious, because I'm not, but because it felt nice to be a part of something, and to have something in common. However, I found that I disagree with a lot of things in a lot of world religions, so I will keep to my agnostism... at ( Read more... )
