met up with Marthe in town today. we went to a cafe and shopped a little. i bought a new summer dress. i was worried it might be too "sweet", but Marthe disagreed. what say you? I want to wear it to my cousins wedding, but mother says its too ordinary for that...

later today i am going to Aalfoten to our cabin in the country with my parents. wont have internet in a few days.
The summer has been rather calm this far. Last weekend I went to Bergen and I visited my cousin Andrea, hung out with Vanessa, met up with Astrid and met good friend. It was nice. We went to Floeyen, shopped abit and visited the Aquarium, which I havent been to since I was a little girl.
My parents are in Nice in France at the moment, and my big brother has packed his suitcase and set out for Australia to study down under this semester. Im happy for him.
Saturday, Heidi and I and two friends went to Malakoff rockfestival in Eid. We saw norwegian bands such as Susanne Sundfoer, Sivert Hoeiem, Skambankt and swedish Timbuktu & Damn! I really enjoyed Timbuktu, especially when they played "Alla Vill Til Himmelen Men Ingen Vil Doe", and "Det Loser Sig". We drove back to Foerde in the middle of the night, drunk and tired (minus the designated driver, of course).
Tomorrow my parents return and we will go to Aalfoten to our cabin. I havent been there in forever and I look forward to water skiing and learning how our new boat works. The weather has changed for the better the two past days and I have been able to lay outside, reading my book and get some tan. Most of the summer has been awful weather-wise, raining like crazy. Those days I spend scrapbooking like a lunatic (I can scrapbook for hours, I enjoy it so much). Take a look at some of the pages I made:
i rented this movie a couple of days ago and watched it with torstein. its a movie thats a winner for bots genders by my opinion. its about a girl and her dad and uncle who attempts to cross the boarder from Mexico to the States illegally by train. we also follow the story of a guy that is a member of the latin american criminal brothership of the "maras". the maras are easily recognized by their many tattooes, foremost by facial tattoes. if a mara has commited murder, he will have a tear tattoed beside his eye. the boy wants to get out of it, and while on a misson (while robbing emigrants on the same train as the girl is, he decides to kill the other mara that is with him). there is a 11 year old kid there who is struggelig to be a part of the gang. the kid looks up to the old guy, and finds himself in a difficult position, having to return to the gang and telling them about what has happened. he swears to avenge the death of the leader mara, and promises to kill his former hero. the guy is now on the train, also trying to get out of the country and the mess hes left behind, knowing the maras dont forget easily and will be hunting for him and wont stop until they find him. the escaped boy and the girl on the train finds each other and decides to jump off the train for an optional exit out of Mexico.
I recommend this movie alot!
According to Wikipedia, this is the description of the "maras": Maras (or marabuntas) are gangs originating from Central American countries such as El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
Maras activities range from drug trafficking and prostitution to assaults and burglaries. Almost all maras display tattoos on their bodies as a sign of their affiliation to their gang. "La vida por las maras" or "the life for the gang" is a very commonly used phrase by these gangs. The killing of innocents is part of some gangs' initiation process, most notably MS13, and these activities follow them for the rest of their lives.
Why can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you Why can't I keep you safe as my own? One moment I have you the next you are gone Rehearsed steps on an empty stage That boy's got my heart in a silver cage Why can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I crave you
I walked into the room dripping in gold Yeah dripping in gold I walked into the room dripping in gold Dripping in gold A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told Or so I've been told My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled Oh I cannot solve
Why can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you Why can't I keep you safe as my own? One moment I have you the next you are gone Rehearsed steps on an empty stage That boy's got my heart in a silver cage Why can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I crave you
It's true I crave you Crave You It's true I crave you
Let's just stop and think, before I lose face Surely I can't fall, into a game of chase Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled I try to reach out, but he's in his own world This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games I simply want him more because he looks the other way
Why can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you Why can't I keep you safe as my own? One moment I have you the next you are gone Rehearsed steps on an empty stage That boy's got my heart in a silver cage Why can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I crave you
i went a short while to work. my boss gave me two bags of chocolate that was left over from the festival. all of the sudden i felt bad about the t-shirts i took yesterday from the storage room.
i bought some Koss-head phones to a friend in Mexico. he besically runs the café i go to every day after school, and he promised me Ill be able to eat and drink for free if i could get his hands on some Kosses. no problema. but they were rather expensive, 399 kroners. oh well, i suppose itll be worth it.
i also bought a new 16 GB ipod to 1400 kr., and a new Sony camera (its really girlie and cute) to the same price. both pink! i like. now i wont have to fill my blog entrys with random pics from google:S
ok, turns out i claimed my freedom a little too fast i have to work 4 more days, cleaning up mess tonight its the world cup final in soccer! go spain, the netherlands are just foul all the workers at the festival are gathering at Rica hotel for a meltdown good timing, NOT i must prioritize this game, i feel it anything else would be inappropriate considering the abnormal dedication to soccer related interests running in my family
by the way, stole some t-shirts at work today. they were gonna give em away anyways, so i dont feel too bad abt it. peace!
so i worked 12 hours today. saw parts of a concert with the Irish "Altan", it was great...the vocalists voice was as clear as wedding bells, in fact it reminded me a great deal of Enya...i got goosebumbs! from 9 to midnight i sold tickets outside of a concert at the hotel. now i def feel ready to hit the sack and start a new and fresh day at the office:S only two days left now, and im freeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alle bildene eg kunne finne oss sammen paa face. eg trur vi ville utgjoere et dream team! skal for oevrig moete heidi igjen i bergen snart, og det ser man fram til. peace! no maa eg legge meg og hvile ut foer arbeidet paa festivalen igjen kaller.
so ive been thinking... after i finish my latin american studies, i want to travel asia/oceania for a couple of months. i would have to work up some money, but will try to keep my journey as economic as possible by mainly coutch surfing.
i want to go to kambodia, thailand, vietnam, china, indonesia (bali), australia, new zealand and the fiji islands. these are just the ones i can immediately think of.
what do you think? is it time i got my feet on solid ground and stop traveling like a lost wilbury, or should i just do what i do and like the best? i mean, im still young, i want to see the world before i settle down and decide to dedicate the rest of my life to some offsprings.
ive been working like a hero tolerating yelling activating being efficient as an ant in a tue knowing its place ending the day with watching Eclipse which was magnificant!
tomorrow is my last day at work and then my second job starts for real its okay, itll pay off i have things to look forward to so i endure the wedding in august seeing the one ive missed recharging my batteries and go back to Mexico for another round a better one ill be ready by then after getting some perspective but its good to be home having people who actually cares about me around its nice being loved
