IT'S A SUPER SPECIAL SUPER MONSTER SUPER COLLEGE UPDATE!!
As promised, I may present you the Bjursta kids' college life in one update to reduce the total number of updates of generation 2. And as I predicted, we have exact 500 pictures here! So make yourself a coffee or tea, call the babysitter, make yourself comfortable, because reading this might take a little while!
Unfortunately I exceeded the livejournal limit of characters in this entry, so I will split it into two parts.
Previously at the Bjurstas: Oh, wonderful college years! The Bjursta children started life on their own in a little shack. Besides Vika having a hole in his neck, a thrilling adventure in the college's coffee shop and Bjørn catching some butterflies, nothing spectacular happened. But suddenly something got caught in their kitchen window ...
Takeshi: You know, I think it would be better if you closed that window. I still have the slight feeling that something crawls through my head.
Vika: Well, that's a good point! I'll think about it.
Takeshi: Yeah? That would be so nice, thank you!
Vika: Oh, what's this?
Takeshi: What? Do I still have a piece of window in my face?
Vika: No, I mean behind you!
Takeshi: A piece of window behi-- ... ?
Takeshi: Oh, you mean Jill? Forgot to mention, I brought my roommate.
Vika: Ah, I see!
Vika: That's nice about your roommate, but who's this?
Takeshi: Dude, that is my roommate. She's totally hot and stuff, right?
Jill: ...
Vika: Totally right.
Takeshi: But let's have a philosophical conversation to impress her!
Vika: OK OK, have you seen, uhm ... the beautiful rain recently ...
Takeshi: Oh, yeah!
Vika: When the, uhm ... raindrops touched the ... raindrops touched ... the glass of my window ...?
Takeshi: Oh, I'm impressed by your sense of beauty, my friend!
Vika: Thank you ... *checks hand* ... Takeshi.
Takeshi: Dude, have you written my name on your hand?!
Vika: I'm sorry, but it's hard enough the remember the names of my sisters!
Takeshi: Really? So how's the name of your younger sister then?
Vika: Pff, I have no idea!
Vika: But I remember that her name is Jessica.
Takeshi: Jill. Her name is Jill.
Vika: That name is as hot as her.
Takeshi: Which name?
Vika: Well, her name. Jennifer.
Takeshi: You're sure that hole in the neck is alright?
Vika: Which hole? I don't see a hole in her neck. *stares*
Jill: Are we ... are we really at college?
Vika: *stares at butterflies*
Jill: Uhm, I'm sorry about your butterflies ...
Vika: Oh, about them? No no, they're sleeping!
Jill: If you say so ...
Vika: They are sleeping.
Jill: OK, OK. I believe you ...
Persika: Hej Vika, Kajsa said it's bedtime! :D
Vika: Yaaaay, bedtime! :D
Welcome to the Bjursta hospital bedroom.
Jill: That guy just now ...
Takeshi: You mean Vika?
Jill: Yes. He's quite ... fascinating. Somehow.
Takeshi: Are you serious?
The next day.
Vika: First day at college is over.
Persika: Yep. And so many more days to come.
Kajsa: I want to be honest with you. I don't like that college thing very much.
Vika & Persika: *nod*
Vika: You know, Kajsa, when I look at you, I somehow remember that we haven't bought a shower yet.
Vika: I wonder why it's you that reminds me.
Kajsa: I-I ... I don't know either.
Vika: Say, do we never leave this table?
Kajsa: Is there a reason to leave it?
Persika: *back from drama class*
Vika: When I'm married with children and stuff ... could you please remind me to restrict my future children from going to college?
Persika: Of course we'll do this for you, Vika! That's what family is for!
Later that day Persika invited
someone special over ...
Vika: Oh my god, is that a burglar? Are we getting robbed? Stay calm, Vika, stay calm ...
Persika: Sigh. Vika probably thinks we're getting robbed ...
Burglar: I think I remember that girl ...
Burglar: Hey, weren't you that little girl whose house I burgled recently?
Persika: Y-you ... you remember me ... ?
Burglar: Of course I remember that silly little girl that seems to want to go out with a bad boy now! Pff, how old are you? Fourteen?
Persika: Wha .... ?!
Persika: I'm not a silly little girl! I'm in college, you idiot!
Burglar: Oh yeah?
Persika: Yeah!
Persika: OK, you know what? We better start again, OK?
Burglar: Alright. sigh You're Persika, right? I'm Amin.
Persika: Nice to meet you, Amin. I like your shirt!
Stranger: I haven't farted.
Persika: Sigh. Great way to ruin an almost romantic moment.
Amin: That guy is disgusting.
Persika: Hej, everybody calm down! He's our guest, OK? Not a burglar!
Persika: Eh, Vika ... I don't think it's appropriate to get naked now ...
Kajsa: Great, I lost my appetite ...
Amin: Uhm ...
Persika: Sigh. Not awkward at all ...
Persika: Oh my god, Vika! You made the light bulb explode!
Kajsa: It's enough, Vika. *pats back* I'm sure you're clean enough for now ...
Persika: That's it, I'll go to bed ...
Amin: Don't worry about that exploding light bulb, kid. I mean, who needs light bulbs?
Vika: ...
Later that night.
Amin: Ohhhh, I like that!
Persika: *doesn't notice the audience in the dark*
Amin: *switches lights on and sits down to watch*
Amin: *is in love*
The next day the Bjursta children had their exams and brought ~*money*~!
And so they could finally afford a shower!
Vika: Persika, you're going to need a glass to toast with us! :D
Persika: Like this?
Vika: Yes, that's better!
Vika: Let us drink a toast for finishing the first semester! In hope that it won't take too long until we graduate! :D
Persika: And a toast for our shower too!
Vika: I'm so happy that I have you two as my bestest friends!
Persika: I think it's called best, Vika ...
Vika: Oh no, we're getting robbed again!
Amin: Hello, madame! :D
Persika: Hello, sir! :D
Amin: You know, your house was the cutest I ever broke into.
Persika: Oh, that's so sweet of you! ♥
Persika: And you were the most cutest burglar that ever broke into our house. ♥
Amin: Reeeeally? ♥
Amin: So, are you studying hard?
Persika: What?
Persika: Please, don't go home yet.
Amin: I'm sorry, honey-bun, I have to burglar the house of someone called Vladimir Bencek.
Persika: Vl--
Amin: OK, you know what? I will stay tonight, OK? I'll break in tomorrow.
Persika: OK. ♥
And when Amin used the shower, the truth was revealed ...
Persika: I can't believe you're losing your hair already ...! *looks away*
Amin: W-w-well?! What are you gonna do? Break up with me?!
Vika: Hej Kajsa, do you also hear the electric razor?
Amin: ...
Persika: See? Problem solved! You look so much better now!
Amin: You're right, honey. I feel a bit cold on my head, but as long as you're happy ... :D
Persika: :D ♥
Amin: You know, Persika ... since this was our first fight, I was wondering if we could ...
Persika: ... woohoo?
Amin: Yes! :D
Persika: No. :)
Vika: It'ssssssssssss beeeedtime! :D
The next day it was Vika's turn in romance.
Jill: So Takeshi told me you like horses ...
Vika: Uhm ... yeah.
Jill: ... and robots ...
Vika: That's right.
Vika: But why talking about such serious things when we have better things to do? :D Your sandwich is getting cold. I'll help you!
Jill: HeyheyheyHEY! Hold on a second!
Vika: H ... huh?! D:
Jill: Who allowed you to touch my sandwich?!
Vika: I'm sorry, madame ...
Jill: It's not like you don't have a sandwich on your own?!
Vika: ...
Vika: *changes topic* You know, I'm a college student! :D
Jill: ...
Jill: ...
Vika: Is everything alright?
Vika: You know, the worst thing that currently could happen to me would be a bad date.
Vika: Or a demotion. But I don't have a job, sooo ...
Jill: Why doesn't he stop that nonsense?!
Vika: I think I totally impressed her.
Jill: *enjoys silence*
Vika: I like how your shirt matches mine!
Vika: And I like your hair color! Such a beautiful black!
Jill: Oh, really?
Vika: You know, my hair color is more like that fridge over there. So not very pretty ...
Jill: :D ... ♥
Jill: I like people with fridge hair!
Vika: Wow, seriously?
Jill & Vika: *stare*
Persika: You both aren't looking at my ass, right?
Jill: Oh, those sandwiches smell so good!
Vika: Yeah, like a sunset at the beach! ♥
Jill: You like the smell of sunsets too?
Vika: Yeah, totally!
Vika: You know ... I think we should date and stuff.
Jill: I ... I think so too!
Vika: So that my fridge hair ...
Vika: ... and your black hair ...
Vika: ... can become one of those expensive microwaves in that shop down the street.
Jill: Haha! :D
Jill: I'd love to become a microwave.
Vika: Me too! But I like to call them "robot that warms food".
Vika: Oh, those sandwiches smell so delicious!
Jill: Yes, like a clear blue sky!
Vika & Jill: *stare*
Vika: We have quite a lot in common!
Vika: *whispers* It's destiny that our shirts match!
Jill: You think so?
Vika: Definitely.
Jill: I can't believe how good the sandwiches smell!
Vika: Me neither!
Vika: Are those umbrellas on your shirt?
Jill: Huh ... ? ♥
Vika: Doesn't matter ... *kiss*
Jill: I ... I'm sorry, I have to go now.
Vika: Oh ... OK.
Jill: But be sure to call me tomorrow!
Vika: Y-yes! Promised! :D
And so that he won't forget to call her, Vika fixed the hole in his neck with a new hairstyle.
Which inspired him to do his homework next to the toilet.
Kajsa: Hej Persika ... did you hear? Vika has a girlfriend now.
Persika: That girl that stared at my ass?
Kajsa: I think so!
Vika: *is in love*
Vika: You know, I still like your boob shirt-- eh, I mean, blue boob-- eh, no I mean ...
Jill: What are you trying to say to me?
Vika: But Persika, it's important to stop air pollution!
Persika: Stop trying to impress your girlfriend with sentences you read in a comic book ...
Vika: B-but ...
Vika: Jennifer, but you are impressed, aren't you?
Jill: Jill.
Vika: Huh?
Jill: My name is Jill.
Vika: Yeah, I know.
Vika: And by the way, Persika, I don't need to impress my girlfriend!
Vika: Right, Jenn-- Joe-- ... Jell? :D
Jill: ...
Jill: It's Jill. J-I ...
Jill: ... -L-L.
Vika: Thihi, I blew a kiss!
Jill: Awwww. ♥
Persika: Oh god, you two are so boring!
Persika: *makes out with Amin*
Amin: So, you two are going steady? Did he sponge bath in front of you already?
Jill: Uhm, what?
Vika: ... I have nothing to say.
Jill: :O
Jill: Say, isn't it time for your exam, Vika?
Vika: Oh, you're right!
Persika & Kajsa: How did you know?
Amin: Hey Persika's sister! Hey! Hey, do you hear me?
Kajsa: What is it?
Amin: Do I look like the robot on the poster now?
Kajsa: I think you have to turn your head more left.
Amin: Left? Your left or my left?
Kajsa: To the poster's direction ...
Amin: Like this?
Kajsa: That's not exactly left ...
Amin actually spends almost every single hour at the Bjursta's.
While Kajsa, still being single, usually spends her time on her own.
And Jill is mostly studying ...
Amin: Oh, kid, you're back! How was your exam?
Vika: Jill ... drop that book.
Amin: The book. He wants you to drop it.
Persika: :)
Amin: *whispers* You think he's going to ask her what she wants for lunch?
Persika: No, honey, they're kissing!
Amin: Oh ... oops, haha!
Persika: Oh, young love!
Amin: :)
Kajsa: I'm a happy single, thank you very much.
Persika: Oh, do you remember our first kiss, honey?
Amin: Uhhmm ...
Persika: In front of our house? Yesterday?
Amin: Uhhm ...
Kajsa: I miss going to school!
Kajsa: It was so exciting and there was so much interesting to learn!
Amin: ...
Persika: I only remember that
creepy busdriver who was grinning all day.
Amin: Say, hoooooney ... ?
Amin: I wonder if we finally could woo--
Persika: No.
Amin: B-but ... !
Amin: But I don't want to wait anymore!
Amin: Mr. Robot, is that fair?! She even ate the last sandwich!
Meanwhile strange things happened. A gravestone and a puddle of pee appeared next to their house. Might have been another college student or similar, but I haven't seen anyone dying ...
I've actually planned to send the Bjurstas and their mates to a big outing, especially to find Kajsa her special one, but it seems like Jill had that idea first. So Vika took all of them with him to his date.
Unfortunately Kajsa came back from class when the taxi was already on its way ...
And so it's a double date!
With bowling!
Vika: Yesss! Two pins!
Receptionist: Mr. president, we have a champion!
Waitress: Did you already hear about that bowling champion? He sure makes a lot of money!
Leo: I hate people that are that successful!
Pao: Me too. I'm not jealous at all. Not a bit. Seriously.
Amin: That was quite good, but that champion-guy is much better than you, Vika.
Persika: Amin, please, don't do this.
Amin: No, Pers', I can do this!
Persika: I'm so tired of this.
Persika: We better eat something and then head home, OK?
Amin: But-- ...
Vika: Seems like Persika is using violence to get her will ...
Amin: Hm?
Persika: What is it again, Amin?
Amin: I know that coat from somewhere.
Persika: Could you please stop looking at her ass?
Amin: I'm not looking at her ass, I am looking at her coat! Stop being mad, honey! :)
Persika: I'm not mad.
Waitress: Oh, you two are such a cute couple!
Persika: *avoids eye contact*
Amin: See? We're such a cute couple, so stop being mad! :)
Persika: ...
Meanwhile ...
Pao: *staggers around* Gawd, that woman has no style.
Pao: Are those umbrellas on your shirt?
Pao: Umbrellas are hot!
Vika: Should I hit him?
Jill: Sigh. No, not necessary.
Persika: Amin, I told you to quit staring at her ass!
Amin: What, am I going to jail for this?!
Persika: Yes, and you know what? I won't pay your meal! :D
Amin: B-but ... !
Vika: Uhm, mr. chef, sir, could I have a bowl of soup please?
Leather jacket guy: I know that guy from somewhere. I have the inner urge to hug him.
Persika: While you pay our dinner I will fresh up my make-up a bit, OK?
And then she fell asleep.
Amin: :D
Persika: How embarrassing!
Man in the background: *tilts head*
Persika: I'll call us all a taxi home.
Amin: Yeah, we better head home. People started stinking already.
Kajsa: Hej, you're back! Did you have fun? :D
Vika: Yeah, we were bowling and making out and stuff.
Kajsa: Ah, I see.
Kajsa: Sigh.
And so we take a little commercial break, in which I'll show you their house, because it finally looks like a house now (at least a bit)!
Hallway.
Bathroom.
Kitchen and study room in one. I'm sure they put the books on the floor on purpose, because it makes it look more authentic.
Small television-room, but basically the hallway to upstairs and the girls' room.
Kajsa's and Persika's little bedroom, which became pink shortly after this.
Vika's bedroom, with the bedstand in his bed. Sigh.
And the view from the balcony.
Persika: I HAAAAAAATE COLLEEEEEEGE!
This was actually an accidental shot, but it offers a good overview. :D
/commercial break
Vika: You should start dating a sumo wrestler, I heard they get a lot of money!
But because it made me sad to see Kajsa all on her own, she invited
an already known face over.
Kajsa: Do you remember what a good time we had when we were kids?
Frederic: Hello no, after I
first met you, I was
followed by a tattooed guy with a tennis racket for a week until my parents called the cops!
Kajsa: Oh, I'm sorry about that. I just ...
Frederic: Y-you ...
Frederic: That's nothing against you personally. I like you pretty much, as far as I still remember you.
Kajsa: I ... I like you too!
Frederic: And I like your b--... shirt as well.
Kajsa: What's a bshirt? :D
Kajsa: So, this means ...
Kajsa: ... that we're a couple now, right?
Frederic: Oh, OK. :)
Vika: Oh Amin, your sure want to speak to Per--
Vika: Uhuu, uhuu.
Vika: Mhhhm. Yes. Yes. Mhhm.
Vika: You miss what?! My kisses?!
Vika: I--
Persika: Does that idiot confuse us again?
Vika: Say, does my voice sound girlish somehow?
Frederic: Why do you want to know this?
Girl: Oh, hello over there! Could you please help me getting that window out of my head?
Girl: Thank you.
Amin: How can somebody can get caught in a window?
And suddenly there was so much autonomous love in the college shack.
Except here.
But here!
And while it was time for a huge dinner ...
... Amin found something more important to do.
And then the ghost from the mysterious grave finally showed up. It seems like it's the nanny they had only once when Persika was a toddler.
Nanny: There's no healthy food in here! Nothing healthy at all! Nothing! NOTHING!
Nanny: I want revenge.
Vika: Huh? Wasn't there just-- ?
Jill: It's a bit awkward to use the toilet when there's someone dancing in front of the window, but I can't hold it any longer.
Jill: Oh, hello. ♥
Jill: Not awkward at all.
Vika: !? Waitwaitwaitwait.
Vika: Why didn't you tell me you were in here? You were peeking, weren't you?!
Jill: But I said hello?!
Vika: You ... you ... YOU ... !
Vika: Come, we're going to my room.
Vika: I-I ... I didn't fell asleep, I was just testing the floor to--
Jill: Vika, stop that and come here.
Vika: Eh, OK, madame.
Well, and then it happened.
And while everybody was asleep ...
... Amin was still dancing.
Nanny: Keep on dancing, little sunshine.
Nanny: Dance.
Nanny: DANCE.
Nanny: DANCE WITH ALL YOUR PASSION.
Amin: Hey ghost lady, how-- where is she?
Persika: AMIN!
Amin: Yes, honey?
Persika: What are you doing here?! I thought you went home already! We're trying to sleep here!
Amin: But Persika, I was dancing with a ghost. A real ghost! A friendly one!
Persika: *facepalm*
Persika: Amin, there are no such things as ghosts. And if there were, they wouldn't rather eat you than be dancing. You better go home now, OK?
Amin: O-OK.
