Hey.

I just read through a bunch of my old entries, and I actually feel mortified at how stupid and shallow I seem. But I also enjoyed keeping this LJ, so I'm wondering if any of my old LJ friends are still active? I really like the LJ service, so it doesn't seem like the worst idea to post every once in a while. It's Sunday evening, the soccer is on and I should make dinner soon. I guess a lot of stuff is new since my last entry (which is almost two years old), but what's new right now is that I've started wearing glasses (as of June), which makes me feel a lot better, and I've become a manager at the job I started after my previous entry and after going to South America for the second time. It's going well, but sometimes it feels like I don't know what I'm doing. But maybe everyone feels that way every now and again?

The Jayhawks take up a lot of my time at the moment - I've liked them for a long time, but after seeing them at Øyafestivalen, it's really become fandom! We also saw Pulp, which was amazing! We were in the front row, several old friends, and it was just wonderful! I banged my knee something good, and I was sore all over after, but my gosh, the fun.

I've also felt a little different since the Oslo/Utøya terror attack on July 22, I mean different to who I used to be, but the positive thing is that I think the Norwegian people are now closer than ever. I cried through the subsequent days, along with the King, the Queen, the Prime Minister, and the rest of the people, and I was so proud of everyone, especially the Prime Minister, he really came through for us. What happened was so horrible, I don't know how we'll ever get over it, just thinking of all the people who died and what fear and terror they went through in their last moments alive, it gets me every time... All we can do is try to stay strong, be kind to one another and honour their memory. When you live in a small country, you feel very close to people, even if they're strangers who live in a different town. We love each other. We're holding hands.
