My top 5 artists of all time

During our trip to Greece my friend Renate and I started to discuss our top artists/bands of all time. I guess this is the sort of topics that are brought up when you lay on a beach all day with one person to talk to...

These are not necessarily artists I listen to in the present time, but who I have had a special relationship to during my 23-year old life.

Anyways, after some contemplation, I decided my top 5 list looks like this:

1. Nirvana

Time: 13 - 14 years of age; although I can still enjoy listening to them.

Top track: Smells like Teen Spirit


2. Bob Marley

Time: My year in Mexico 2010 - Bob was played in every reggaebar at every occation!

Top track: Redemption Song

3. The Cranberries

Time: Adolecence - when I was around 15 and started to develop a certain personal taste of music.

Top track: Linger

4. Manu Chao

Time: Discovered him when I spent a semester in Cuba, he was my boyfriends favourite musician. I still listen to his tracks... And I am actually going to see him live is Oslo this month!

Top track: Descaparecido.

5. No Doubt

Time: No Doubt was one of my earlies discoveries...Tragic Kingdom was the first CD I bought and I am proud of it. I continued to listed to them as a teenager. I want a comeback! Gwen Stefani was my childhood heroin.

Top track: Just a Girl

Stong runner-ups: Green Day, Tori Amos, Black Sabbath, Jack Johnson

Do you have a top 5 list?

vertical horizon

So you sailed away Into a grey sky morning Now I'm here to stay Love can be so boring But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had You don't want me back You're just the best I ever had
And it may take some time to Patch me up inside But I can't take it so I run away and hide And I may find in time that You were always right You're always right What was it you wanted? Could it be I'm haunted? But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had I don't want you back You're just the best I ever had

Goodbye to you



tears form behind my eyes
but I do not cry
counting the days that pass me by
and I said, goodbye to you
closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
to a place where I am blinded by the light

why can't you want me like the other boys do?



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 am craving you

when i slip im still an animal



There was a time when my world was filled with darkness,
darkness darkness.
Then I stopped dreaming, now i'm supposed to fill it up with something,
something, something.

In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody I knew before,
long long, long ago.
But I'm still trying to make my mind up, am I free or am I tied up?

I change shapes just to hide in this place, but I'm still, I'm still an animal.
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip, I'm still an animal.

There is a hole and I tried to fill it up with money, money, money.
But it gets bigger to your hopes, it's always running, running, running.

In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody who could be so,
tell me if i'm wrong.
Now i'm pulling your disguise up. Are you free or are you tied up?


I change shapes just to hide in this place, but I'm still, I'm still an animal.
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip, I'm still an animal.

Fanny Lu - Tù No Eres Para Mi
Que me dice que me quiere
Que vivir sin mi no puede
Que lo agobian los momentos
En que no estoy junto a él

Que siempre me había esperado
Que era a quien había soñado
La que su mamá quería
Pa' que fuera su mujer

Aaaay..

Que mis ojos son estrellas
Que mi risa es la más bella
Que todos mis atributos
Son perfectos para él

Que si fuera un retratista
Y que si fuera un buen artista
Yo sería su Mona Lisa
Y hasta un tango de Gardel

Y eso no lo trago yo..

CORO:
Quiero que tu sepas que tú no eres para mi
Que tú no eres para mi
Siempre supe pero no hice caso
Que ni se te ocurra aparecer por aquí
Aparecer por aquí
Con tus enrredos y cuentos baratos

Quiero que tú sepas que yo no soy para ti
Que yo no soy para ti
Siempre supe pero no hice caso
Que ni se me ocurra estar de nuevo junto a ti
Estar de nuevo junto a ti
Mi corazón no aguanta más fracasos

Que me promete la Luna
Que yo soy como ninguna
Que parezco una doncella
De esas que hay que proteger

Que sus vicios ha dejado
Que su sueldo le ha aumentado
Que me promete la vida
Que yo siento merecer

Y eso no lo trago yo...

CORO:
Quiero que tu sepas que tú no eres para mi
Que tú no eres para mi
Siempre supe pero no hice caso
Que ni se te ocurra aparecer por aquí
Aparacer por aquí
Con tus enrredos y cuentos baratos

Quiero que tú sepas que yo no soy para ti
Que yo no soy para ti
Siempre supe pero no hice caso
Que ni se me ocurra estar de nuevo junto a ti
Estar de nuevo junto a ti
Mi corazón no aguanta más fracasos

BRIDGE:
Y yo, que tanto me decía
Que no me convenías, que eras mi destrucción
Y siempre yo, tratando de dejarte
Tu día ya llegó
Tu día ya llegó..

CORO:
Quiero que tú sepas que tu no eres para mi
Que tú no eres para mi
Siempre supe pero no hice caso
Que ni se te ocurra aparecer por aquí
Aparacer por aquí
Con tus enrredos y cuentos baratos

Quiero que tu sepas que yo no soy para ti
Que yo no soy para ti
Siempre supe pero no hice caso
Que ni se me ocurra estar de nuevo junto a ti
Estar de nuevo junto a ti
Mi corazón no aguanta más fracasos...



Fanny Lu - Celos

Celos de tus ojos
Cuando miras a otra chica
Tengo celos, celos
Celos de tus manos
Cuando abrazas otra chica
Tengo celos, celos

Cuando te encuentras con alguien
Cuando caminas con alguien
Cuando te siento felíz
Yo tengo celos, tengo celos

Hoy quiero bailar sólo contigo
Y hoy quiero soñar que tú eres mío
Hoy te daré todo mi amor en un abrazo
Y tú prometerás que nunca más
Me harás sentir, nunca más
Nunca más, nunca más, nunca
Celos, celos

Celos de tu boca cuando
Besas a otra chica
Tengo celos, celos

Celos de la noche
Que comparte tus secretos
Tengo celos, celos

Cuando te miro a los ojos
Cuando te siento a mi lado
Cuando te veo marchar
Yo tengo celos, tengo celos

Hoy quiero bailar sólo contigo
Y hoy quiero soñar que tú eres mío
Hoy te daré todo mi amor en un abrazo
Y tú prometerás que nunca más
Me harás sentir, nunca más
Nunca más, nunca más, nunca
Celos, celos

Celos de tus ojos
Celos de tus manos
Celos de tu boca
Celos de la noche
Celos...

Tu prometerás que nunca más
Me harás sentir, nunca más
Nunca mas, nunca mas, nunca
Celos...

canciónes sobre la soledad

Laura Pausini


Se fue

Ya no responde ni el teléfono,
pende de un hilo la esperanza mía,
yo no creí jamás poder perder así la cabeza por él.
Por que de pronto ya no me quería,
porque mi vida se quedó vacía,
nadie contesta mis preguntas,
porque nada me queda sin él.

Se fue, se fué, el perfume de sus cabellos,
Se fue, el murmullo de sus silencios,
Se fue, su sonrisa de fábula,
Se fue, la dulce miel que probé en sus labios.
Se fue, me quedó sólo su veneno,
Se fue, y mi amor se cubrió de hielo,
Se fue, y la vida con él se me fue,
Se fue, y desde entonces ya sólo tengo lágrimas.

Encadenada a noches de locura,
hasta a la cárcel yo iría con él ,
toda una vida no basta sin él.
En mi verano ya no sale el sol,
con su tormenta todo destruyó,
rompiendo en mil pedazos esos sueños
que construímos ayer.

Se fue, se fue me, quedó sólo su veneno,
Se fue, y mi amor se cubrió de hielo,
Se fue, y la vida con él se me fue,
Se fue, y la razón no la sé.

Si existe Dios, debe acordarse de mí, aunque sé...
que entre él y yo el cielo tiene sólo nubes negras,
le rogaré, le buscaré, lo juro... le encontraré,
aunque tuviera que buscar en un millón de estrellas.

En esta vida oscura, absurda sin él siento que...
se ha convertido en centro y fin de todo mi universo,
si tiene límite el amor, lo pasaría por él,
y en el vacío inmenso de mis noches yo le siento.
Le amaré,
como le pude amar la vez primera,
que un beso suyo era una vida entera,
sintiendo como me pierdo por él…


Gloria Trevi




El favor de la soledad

Soledad…
la única que viene
cuando todos se van,
la única con la que
puedo llorar,
que no me hace
ni un reproche,
deja que me desahogue, ah!!

Soledad… se que por un tiempo
me aleje, de ti
y rompí la promesa,
para no ser infeliz,
y ahora estoy aquí llorando
por haberlo amando tanto
--ve-- y búscalo en donde lo encuentres
y arrebátalo de entre la gente,
llévatelo de la mano
y enciérrense en su cuarto
--y-- súbelo, bájalo, ámalo
y si el quiere despedázalo
y hazlo que sienta esto
que me tiene a mí aquí sin aliento

Soledad, soledad, soledad!!!
hazme un favor yo te lo ruego,
haz que el sienta, lo que siento

Soledad, soledad, soledad!!!
hazme un favor yo te lo imploro
y que el sepa que lo adoro…
(Soledad….)

Soledad…
vestida de noche
o de claridad
me dices al oído
que el no volverá
no me das ningún consuelo
pero hablas con la verdad
--si-- ámalo como ninguno
que no quiera saber mas del mundo,
que no reconozca familias,
que no conciba sin ti la vida
que con un beso el aguante desprecio
y que sueñe envuelto en desvelos,
que sean tu alegría sus migajas
de rodillas llorando desgracias,
entonces, solo entonces,
que sepa, que lo sepa,
que es por mi que te tiene,
que es por mi que te siente…

Soledad, soledad, soledad!!!
hazme un favor yo te lo ruego,
haz que el sienta, lo que siento

Soledad, soledad, soledad!!!
hazme un favor yo te lo imploro
y que el sepa que lo adoro…

¡¡Soledad!!

¡¡Soledad!!

So-le-dad…

Cuidado, mi corazón está colgando en tus manos.



-Carlos [Marta]

-Quizá no fue coincidencia encontrarme contigo.
[Tal vez esto lo hizo el destino.]
-Quiero dormirme de nuevo en tu pecho
[Y después me despierten tus besos.]

-Tu sexto sentido aún sueña conmigo,
Se que pronto estaremos unidos.
-Esa sonrisa traviesa que vive conmigo,
Se que pronto estaré en tu camino.


-[Sabes que estoy colgando en tus manos,
asi que no me dejes caer.
Sabes que estoy colgando en tus manos.]-

-Te envío poemas de mi puño y letra.
[Te envío canciones de 4 40.]
-Te envío las fotos cenando en Marbella
[Y cuando estuvimos por Venezuela.]
-[Y así me recuerdes y tengas presente
que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos.
Cuidado, cuidado,
que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos. ]-

-No perderé la esperanza de hablar contigo.
[Quiero beberme de ti todo lo prohibido.
-Quiero amanecer besando toda, toda tu ternura.
[Y beberme de ti lo prohibido]

-[sabes que estoy colgando en tus manos]-
[asi que no me dejes caer]
-sabes -[que estoy colgando en tus manos]-

-Te envío poemas de mi puño y letra.
[Te envío canciones de 4 40.]
-Te envío las fotos cenando en Marbella
[Y cuando estuvimos por Venezuela.]
-Y así y asi me recuerdes y tengas presente
[que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos.
(Cuidado,) cuidado, mucho cuidao, cuidao
Marta yo te digo me tienes en tus manos. ]-

[No importa que diga el destino quedate con migo] (cuidado, mucho cuidao)
-Lo quiero todo de ti tus labios tu carino lo prohibido

-[Te envío poemas de mi puño y letra.
Te envío canciones de 4 40.
Te envío las fotos cenando en Marbella
Y cuando estuvimos por Venezuela.
Y así me recuerdes y tengas presente
que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos.
Cuidado, cuidado,
que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos.
que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos.
que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos.]

por siempre y para siempre

Aretha Franklin - I Say a Little Prayer

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever
and ever
you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever
and ever
we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together
forever
that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever
and ever
you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever
and ever
we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together
forever
that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
no body but me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe, oh-oh

Forever
and ever
you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever
and ever
we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together
forever
that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me, nobody but me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe
Say you love me too
Answer it right now babe
Answer my prayer

- translated into spanish by yours truly:

Al instante que me desperte
antes de que me maquillarme
hago una pequeña oración por ti
mientras me peino ahora
y pienso que vestida ponerme
hago una pequeña oración por ti

Por siempre
y para siempre
permaneces en mi corazón
y voy a amarte
por siempre
para siempre
nosotros nunca nos separaremos
Juntos
para siempre
esto es como tiene que ser
al vivir sin ti
solo podría significar mi corazón roto

Corro hacia el bus, amor
mientras viajando pienso en nosotros amor
hago una pequeña oración por ti
En el trabajo solo tomando tiempo
y dentro la hora de café
hago una pequeña oración por ti

Por siempre
para siempre
permaneces en mi corazón
y voy a amarte
por siempre
para siempre
nosotros nunca separaremos
oh, como voy a amarte
Juntos
Para siempre
esto es como tiene que ser
al vivir sin ti
solo podría significar mi corazón roto

hago una pequeña oración por ti
hago una pequeña oración por ti

Mi amor, creeme
Para mi no hay nadie como tu
Por favor, amame también
(Escuchara su oración ahora nene)
Estoy enamorada de ti
(Escuchara su oración nene)
Escuchara mi oración

Por siempre
para siempre
permaneces en mi crazón
oh, como voy a amarte
Juntos
para siempre
esto es como tiene que ser
al vivir sin ti
solo podría significa mi corazón roto.



I spent alot of time doing this, and go a little help from Lourdes. But when I searched for another translation of the song, it turns out mine was quite different. Take a look:

DESDE EL MOMENTO EN QUE ME DESPIERTO,
ANTES DE PONERME EL MAQUILLAJE,
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA ORACIÓN POR TI.
MIENTRAS ME PEINO,
Y ME PREGUNTO QUÉ VESTIDO PONERME AHORA,
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA ORACIÓN POR TI.

PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, TE QUEDARÁS EN MI CORAZÓN
Y YO TE AMARÉ.
PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, NUNCA NOS SEPARAREMOS.
OH, CÓMO TE AMO.
JUNTOS, PARA SIEMPRE, ASÍ ES CÓMO DEBE SER.
VIVIR SIN TI
SÓLO SIGNIFICARÍA UN CORAZÓN ROTO PARA MÍ.

CORRO AL ÓMNIBUS, QUERIDO,
MIENTRAS VIAJO PIENSO EN NOSOTROS, QUERIDO,
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA ORACIÓN POR TI.
EN EL TRABAJO ME TOMO UN TIEMPO
Y DURANTE TODO MI DESCANSO PARA TOMAR CAFÉ,
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA ORACIÓN POR TI.

PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, TE QUEDARÁS EN MI CORAZÓN
Y YO TE AMARÉ.
PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, NUNCA NOS SEPARAREMOS.
OH, CÓMO TE AMO.
JUNTOS, PARA SIEMPRE, ASÍ ES CÓMO DEBE SER.
VIVIR SIN TI
SÓLO SIGNIFICARÍA UN CORAZÓN ROTO PARA MÍ.

REZO UNA PEQUEÑA ORACIÓN POR TI.
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA ORACIÓN POR TI.

MI QUERIDO, CRÉEME,
PARA MÍ NO EXISTE NADIE MÁS QUE TI!
POR FAVOR ÁMAME TÚ TAMBIÉN.
Y YO ESTOY ENAMORADA DE TI.
RESPONDE A MI RUEGO AHORA, CARIÑO.

PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, TE QUEDARÁS EN MI CORAZÓN
Y YO TE AMARÉ.
PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, NUNCA NOS SEPARAREMOS.
OH, CÓMO TE AMO.
JUNTOS, PARA SIEMPRE, ASÍ ES CÓMO DEBE SER.
VIVIR SIN TI
SÓLO SIGNIFICARÍA UN CORAZÓN ROTO PARA MÍ.

the best day i can ever remember

Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep.
This air is blessed, you share with me.
This night is wild, so calm and dull.
These hearts, they race from self-control.
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine.
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me,
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours, to fill or burst,
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.

The words are hushed, let's not get busted.
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered;
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"Hey, did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close,
They can't hear, so we can get some.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me,
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours, to fill or burst,
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.

Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember.
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
The dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair,
That you twirled in your fingers.
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late.
And this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet and the gate was locked,
So I jumped it and I let you in,
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist,
And you kissed me like you meant it,
And I knew that you meant it.
That you meant it, that you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it.

killer kiss



the food that i’m eating
is suddenly tasteless
i know i’m alone now
i know what it tastes like
so break me to small parts
let go in small doses
but spare some for spare parts
there might be some good ones
like you might make a dollar
i’m inside your mouth now
behind your tonsils
peeking over your molars
you’re talking to her now
and you’ve eaten something minty
and you’re making that face that i like
and you’re going in, in for the kill, kill
for the killer kiss, kiss for the kiss, kiss

i need your money, it’ll help me
i need your car and i need your love
so won’t you help a brother out?

delirious?

there aren't alot of christian bands out there that i can declare my fandom of. Live, Creed, Little Big Town are among the few whose names i can mention in this category. However, the british rock band Delirious? must be my absolute favorite. Especially their beautiful Inside Outside lies close to my heart, and is one of my favorite songs of all times. Surprisingly its rather rare, and I cant even find it on Spotify. It belongs on their 2003 album World Service. its a longing melancholic song about how consuming love can be. check it out!



Inside outside, under my skin
Never ending love I dont know where it begins?
I dont know where it ends, I dont know how high
I dont know how deep, I dont know how wide
Outside inside around the world
Never ending love envelops me like a cloud
I feel you in front, I feel you behind
I feel you up above, And I feel you at the side

And you, youre all over me, youre all over me
Your banner is over me, I give it all cos

You still captivate me, fascinate me
You still captivate me, saturate me

Inside outside, pulling me in
No matter where I run I know youll never give in
I see you in the storm, I see you in a kiss
Ive been around the world and never found a love like this

Youre all over me, youre all over me
Youre everything I want to be
Im all over you, youre everything I want to see
Youre all over me

You, still captivate me, fascinate me
You still captivate me, saturate me
You still captivate me, liberate me
You still captivate me

I wanna sleep with common people (like you)

Pulp - Common People. song's from 1996., i like it. my v/good friend Sid tipped me off on this one. see, i've just gotten myself SPOTIFY. now im one of the cool kids! i know Jonathan! And Roberta!yay!

lyrics:
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
she studied sculpture at St Martin's college
that's where I
caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola."
she said "Fine,"
and then in thirty seconds time she said
"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you."
or what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do."

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
so it started there
I said "Pretend you've got no money."
but she just laughed an said "Oh you're so funny."
I said "Yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure?
Are you sure you want to live like common people
you want to see whatever common people see
you want to sleep with common people
you want to sleep with common people like me?"
But she didn't understand
she just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your Dad he could stop it all
Yeah
You'll never live like common people
you'll never do what common people do
you'll never fail like common people
you'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance, and drink, and screw
because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people
sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
laugh along even though they're laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite and never warn you
Look out
they'll tear your insides out
[something muffled underneath, maybe: I'm sorry,
Mr Dalton, there's no need to be concerned]
`cos everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks it's
all such a laugh
yeah and the chip stain's grease will come out in the bath
You will never understand
how it feels to live your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere else to go
You are amazed that they exist
and they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why

Rent a flat above a shop
cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your Dad he could stop it all
You'll never live like common people
you'll never do what common people do
you'll never fail like common people
you'll never watch your life slide out of view
and dance, and drink, and screw
because there's nothing else to do

I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you

in other news, ive started going to the studyhall and STUDY,. since my exams are approching ridiculously fast. and i dont intend to flunk, although its not looking too good at the moment. so, if you would excuse me, i have to get back to my argentinian history:
"Hello, my name is Juan Manuel de Rosas, and I am one of the many dictators named Juan in the history of Latin America!"

brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack

Ke$ha - Tic Tock


im prolly gonna end up hating this song cus its very likely they'll overplay it on the radio the following weeks, or shall i say months. anywho, catchy as fuck!

well., in other news, BFF Renate was in town visiting on monday. it was lovely to see her again. we went to Cafe Opera and had dinner. glaideg

my oldest cousin Marie, aka. Mie (who is also a DOCTOR if i may add), arrived bergen last night by plane. She and her doctor friend spent the night in my double bed. they are attending a funeral today, so the least i could do was lending them my room for one night. we sat in the kitchen last night and drank tea and chatted about old and new times. very cosey. love her too. personally, i slept on the sofa. which wasn't that bad in all honesty!

and! i am on the path of recovery as far as me being sick. at the moment im only somewhat stuffed up. its safe to say i DO NOT have the friggen swine-flue, to all you paranoid friends of mine out there.
