2010: a summary (part one)

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

I did this last year as well – made summary posts for the whole year (here and here) – so why not keep up the tradition? Plus, you need something to read while I’m busy laying on beaches ;)

Here’s a summary of the first half of my 2010!

January:

In January this photo was chosen for a book…

And I was overly excited about my new pulse watch.

February:

In February I went wedding dress shopping with miss Maren..

And we moved into a new apartment.

March:

In March my little sister came to visit..

And I bought nerdy glasses, among other things.

April:

And April there was more buying (and trying on!) of Maren’s weddings gowns..

Easter came and went..

And there was still snow.

May:

In May I bought a metal heart..

Spring came..

Shorts were worn..

I went to a dog show and photographed poodles..

And caught a crow on camera.

June:

In June I saw my family again..

Summer came..

I re-discovered nail polish..

I missed my grandmother..

And enjoyed the sunshine.

Phew! That was the short version of my life for the last 6 months. I also ate and worked and slept and worked out a bit, but that’s not very exciting now is it? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a sun bed with my name on it!

Packing at the speed of light

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Busy day today. Worked overtime, then went straight to the movie theatre to watch Inception. Go see it! The mindfuck alone is worth every penny. This is why we sit through hour upon hour of boring old Hollywood triteness – sometimes you come across a gem like this one. The 9.3 score on IMDB is well deserved. Go go go!

About the photo – I just realized that I’ve only got tomorrow night left to pack for my holiday. I still need after sun lotion! And a floppy sun hat! So much to do, so little time. And speaking of little time, it is now time for bed!

Poison of choice

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Today was rough. Work has been stressful to the point where I think my shoulders might be permanently attached to my ears, and I caught myself  vigorously massaging my temples several times during the course of the day – this is how you know I’m dealing with a truly special breed of person. On my way home I could think of one thing and one thing only, and that is how gloriously wonderful it would be to get greasy greasy takeout and play World of Warcraft.

So we did.

Word of Warcarft truly is my poison of choice – I’ve been playing since the closed beta testing and have loved every minute of it. I’ve experienced nerd-rage, gamer’s wrists, loss of social life, spent weeks hunting particularly pretty collections of pixels, and of course, made plenty of gorgeous friends along the way. As every other WoW-player I have thrown hissy hits, uninstalled the game and not touched it for months, only to come lurching back quietly like the weaklings that we truly are. “I’ve had it, I quit!” is a yearly sentence uttered amongst my WoW-playing friends. “Have fun, see you again in a few months!” is the standard reply. It rarely fails.

Now, I’m not going to elaborate further on my in-game escapades, seeing as I know who reads my blog and I know that most of you are probably not understanding this at all, but this is my blog darn it, and tonight I’m being a nerd. So there!

(Obligatory bucket list of characters that I have played or am still playing)

Monday paranoia

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I have discovered a curious side-effect after I made a fan-page for this blog on facebook – I’ve become really self-conscious! I’ve never really been self-conscious when it comes to blogging before, so this sort of hit me by surprise. Now, I’ve been doing some self-analysation here, so bear with me for a second: I’ve got a live feed of my blog in LinkedIn. No problem here, as this is for former, current and future employers. The blog might get me a job some day, who knows, so this is fine. I also have a live feed from my blog on Twitter, no problem here either. My twitter followers are usually interesting strangers – perfectly fine, I don’t care if a stranger reads my blog the wrong way, after all! So, summary: LinkedIn fine, Twitter fine. So why is facebook scary? My friends already read the blog, my family already reads it, so who’s the scary last group? Colleagues. People who sort-of kind-of know who you are, but don’t really know you. Oh yes, I have crystallized the one sentence that is making me anxious over this whole fan-group business: “You know, that girl up on 5th, the one who made a fan-group for herself and posts photos of herself online all the time”

Oh yeah, that’s the one. I’m being ridiculous, I know I am! Everyone I work with are perfectly nice! Pah, let’s just face it, I’m one paranoid puppy. The facebook fanpage stays.

In other news, I’ve got candy-colored nails and there are four days left until I leave Norway behind. I want a fast-forward button, dammit!

(“Oh yeah, you know, that girl who posts photos of her nails.” Oh shush, I know it’s all in my head ;) )
