It finally happened you guys!! The car drove straight past me! It was so close! I could have touched it! I could have jumped into it! (The roof was down. No idea why as it is freezing during day, and even colder in the evening..) It is so gorgeous! I got practiacally star-struck! I could have sucked in all the details, but I wasn't able to (I was able to detect some writing on the side and on the tail, but I wasn't able to read, that would require too much constructive thinking ), coz it went right by me, and it looks amazing, and it(the front) looks just like Metallicar (except for not having the awesome side-head-lights), I just imagined Dean and Sam driving by, and it was beautiful and it went right past me! I'm almost still shaking (And now it drove past my window) I want that car!!! I was just coming out from supper (The school and, obviously, it's cefeteria is one building, the dorm building is another one), and I am glad I went in kind of late, and ate just what I did and spent exactly the amount of time I did, and left as I did, coz if just one of those took longer/shorter, I'd miss it! I was walking back, had just gone out the door, when I heard a car and automatically turned my head to the sound. I saw the lights (it was already getting rather dark out) and I thought "..that...can it be..? no... is it?" (Bless SN eps showing us Metllicar driving off in the dark. I can ID it by the headlights ) it came a little closer, and, it had music on (not rock some Norwegian summer classic. I guess he needed a summer song to keep himself warm), but the engine... this was a big one...and the lights... it came even closer, and, in the light from the surrounding bulidings, and the street lights, and the tiny bits of remaining daylight, I could see it, this truly was the Impala! And the timeing was so perfect, coz the road goes between the dorm and the school, and with the phase I was walking and the speed the car was driving (which was slow) I walked straight onto it It was so awesome! It is gorgeous!!! This chick was walking next to me, and as the car had passed (not as it passed, was too busy staring/drooling to be able to form words), "I love that car!" "Yea, it was pretty cool." "I'm so gonna convince him to sell it to me." "Are you?" "Yes!" "It's probably expencive.." "...Yea... I do have a plan tho, I'm gonna make him run over me just slightly, and then I'll get the car as compensation." "..Right... nice plan.." Ahh... I was so lost in my thoughts as I got up here. I went into the kitchen (there's a kitchen in the doorm building aswell, but we get food at the cafeteria 3 times/day) to put something in the fridge and grab some water, and as I was about to go out the door, another chick came in, and I jumped

BTW, I know, too many details, all you really needed to know was that the car just drove past me. But I am on an Impala-high right now, so sue me (or don't, coz I'm gonna need my money to buy the car..)

(So I'll go on ) I actually haven't seen the car in...2-3 weeks. Last week we were on break, so I wasn't here, so, not surprising I didn't see it then. But I don't think I (There it was again! Yes, I do look out the window every time a car drives by It's kind of depressing as about 95% of the time it's not Impala, but it is awesome everytime it is Impala, and I don't wanna miss it ) saw the car at all the week before that either, if I did it was on Mon or Tue, and I hadn't seen it this week before now. I was getting worried. I was in the potatoefield again yesterday, but the car wasn't home so I couldn't take convinient staring/drooling breakes like I did last time

Ok...That is enough Impala rambling for now SN Thrusday tomorrow! And then SN Friday the day after that! I am really looking forward to this one! It looks way, way heavy, possibly too heavy, so I'm not sure I'm gonna like it, but I'm still so very excited! I was tepted to see the prewiev on Facebook, I never do that! I am a complete spoilefobe, so all I know is what the SOON preview in the last ep showed, and the ep description on tv.com. And the title of course. I am expecting a lot of Cas, hopefully some Metallicar action, and hopefully I'll like it.

Hehe..I'm all hyper now after the Impala sighting(s)...

Hope you're all doing good! *hugs* *special hugs for KDT*

Hello!

So, I don't know if you remember (or have any indication of time on this matter), but 1 year ago, my grandparent's house burnt down... Well, actually, it was Sept 15th, so it's slightly more than a year, I've been thinking to blog for 2 weeks, just haven't gotten around to it..Anyway.

I cannot believe it's been a year already.. It feels more like three months. Well.. it just feels odd really, I still sometimes feel like it just happened, sometimes it feels as if it's always been this way.. But for the most part, it only feels like a few months, not a year.

I realized around the middle of Aug that it was 11 months, one more month and it'd be a year, and, so, in a way, the 11 month day was harder than the 12 month/one year day.. (of course I had been thinking of it for long before that, I just didn't realize in the same way) . On the 15th we had a bit of a family reunion. All my aunts and uncles, and most my cousins, and Grandma of course, live close, so we often meet, but we rented a location for the day, and (I think it was) 27 of us got together in the evening. First we went to the grave,and then we went just to hang out and eat together and stuff. Just to mark the day in some way. Just to be together. It wasn't sad at all actually, I did half expect I'd cry, but I didn't. It was nice. Grandma had spent a few hours by the house aswell (well, not the house, the house is gone, but where their house used to be, in their garden), and talked to the guy who first arrived, and practically saved her, the night of the fire. She has talked to him on several occations after the fire, but he still told her some things she didn't know. Coz she doesn't remember. Like, she remembers being inside, she remembers detecting the fire, and trying to get both herself and Grandpa out. (He didn't get out.) She remembers the grass was cold, how her feet were absolutely freezing, and she remembers screaming for Grandpa to get out, and for someone to come help them. She partly remembers this guy, R, coming, and getting into his car, and that's about it. Just bits and pieces after that. She does not remember seeing the fire from the outside. She does not remember seeing her house on fire. She remembers it from inside, seeing her livingroom on fire, but she does not remember seeing her house on fire from the outside. She remembers running around outside, screaming and freezing and scared and disoriented, but she cannot recollect any image of the house burning. Which is good, I guess. Blocking that part out. Now, she does not remember everything else from being outside, such as where he found her, that she does not remember. She remembers him coming, but not where they were. This guy, R, he just happens to be married to, I think it's her cousin's daughter. So when he came, he said "Do you know me?" and she said "Is it you R?" She kind of remembers that. And she remembers she was so happy, felt they were soo nice to let her sit in their car. (Him and his son) After that she only remembers bits and pieces. She does not remember the ambulance coming, or getting out of the car and into the ambulance, but she does remember my dad came into the ambulance. And she remembers they asked her over and over and over and over when she was born. She remembers slightly struggeling to get the words out, but managing it, and getting just a tad bit annoyed that they couldn't just write it down already so they didn't need to ask her all the time

Wow..I write too much... Like I said, I've been meaning to do this blog for 2 weeks, and decided that this week I would do it. But honestly, I have to admit, why it happens now, is coz of school. In my homework for tomorrow, it includes quite a few pages and tasks on protection against fire. Some days, that would be okay, some days, like today, it's not. So I just needed to get it out of my system on a more personal note, before getting into reading/doing the tasks. Coz I do not want to cry at school tomorrow, and I think if I am able to distance myself from it while doing homework, it will be easier to distance myself from it at school aswell. But I don't know. I still got no way of knowing how I'm gonna react to fire. Like, some days, just randomly hearing the word, even if it's like "Fire in my heart", that kind of thing, that's all it takes for me to start crying. Other days I can watch a movie or something, and there'll be a house burning, and I don't care, (I mean, I do, but I don't) I'm able to smile and laugh, not necessarily about the fire, but joking about something else, and then smile while seeing the fire on the screen. Honestly tho, photos are the hardest. I mean, I didn't see the fire, I didn't actually experience it, physically nor visually, but I did see the house after. So now, seeing pics of a burning/burnt down house.. That often gets to me. And there's a picture in the book... I keep looking at it (I'm not sure why I don't just close the book/turn the page really, but..). Ah.. No, I'm gonna finish this blog, and then I'm gonna do my homework. If I cry, then I cry. And if I cry at school, then I cry at scholl, I'm sure everyone will understand. I might txt the teacher, haven't decined yet. Haven't made up my mind wheither I want him to know or not. I'm not sure I want him to know, coz then he'll be thinking of it, and then I'm gonna feel some kind of sympathy, weither he shows it (to the class) or not, but then again, if he does know, then he'll know why I might react to it.. But it's not until after lunch tomorrow, so I got several hours to prepare, and to find out how the day is.. But, again, if I cry, then I cry, it's not worse than that.

I guess that's enough fire talk for now. I'm not sure the whole "getting it out of my system" angle worked, but It is therapeutic to talk about it anyway

Ok, otherwise.. School is good... Still not entirely adjusted to this dorm life.. But I can say I totally understand people complaining about their roommates (We only share a tiny hall and a bathroom. Kitchen and shower is shared with the entire main hall, which should be 12 but is 11 people.) She's okay really, she's just annoying.

Here are a few, more or less random, SN assosiations

One, some of you should know of already, as I mentioned it in my last blog: One of the neighbours has an Impala! It's not an exacly Metallicar double, but it is an Impala It is black and gorgeous. Drop top. I think it's a 66, but I still haven't been able to identify it really. I will talk to the guy who owns it, and I will convince him to sell it to me. That's the plan! I haven't seen it this week But saw it quite a bit last week, when plucking (what do you call it btw? "taking up" maybe?) potatoes. The potatoe field was just below the Impala's house. My effectivity may have sunk when I realized that Was too far to really see any details, but I could clarly see the car, so I was like "Ok, time for a break *drool all over Impala*"

Also; the sound the door into the main hall (from the stairs) makes. It is just like that creaky sound that is part of the S3 namecard sequence! Amuses me every time (And I walk thru that door several times a day! )

Third: Oxytocin. You remember it? It's the hormone Cara was talking about in S&V, the one that all the men who'd killed their wifes had such high levels of. She said it's produced during child birth, lactation and sex. For me, this is a topic in school because of lactation. You know, cows, milk, lactation: Oxytocin. It is not impossible I smiled pretty much every time it was mentioned, and it did help me on my test

Speaking of SN: It is SN Thursday! I just rewatched FTBYAM just before sitting down with my homework (which wasn't a very long sitting at all ) And I get to see the new eptomorrow! It kind of sucks tho, I haven't figured out a way to see it at school Not able to dl here. I don't know if it's just me or not. I think it may be a firewall (fire..) thing, and I don't really wanna mess with the school's set ups so.. But yea, that was one of my big concernes before moving here; Will I be able to dl SN?? Is there Internet? No (I think), but, (obviously) yes.

Another tv concern of mine is when biathlon starts back up in a couple months. Will I be able to see it?? Here are a few tv's but everyone has to share, and I'm at school, you know. Hopefully I'll figure something out. And I can always watch in the weekends, at home.

From the topic of TV, we'll smoothly jump over to movies. I'm gonna go watch Up with my bff this weekend I've already seen it tho Misha twitted about watching it 3 times, and it was so good, and if it wasn't then he'd be furious (something like that) about a month ago, I figured, since it was so good he'd watch it 3 times without being furious, then it had to be good. I'm not really that into animated movies, but this one was amazing! I loved it so much! So much deeper than I thought it would be. It was so fabulously unrealistic, yet so amazingly believable! Told the bff about it, and she said we'dgo see it when it came to the cinema, and it came here last weekend, but we couldn't go then, so we're going now The local/district paper gave it a 6 I'm so excited to see it again! It's been over a month since I saw it, and I have made myself not watch it again coz I don't want to remember the whole thing when seeing it now

Okay, I'm gonna wrap this up. Seriuosly, I need to learn to keep my blogs to a reasonable lenght!

Just one last thing. Fall has definitely sat in. It's been COLD this week. Snow on the mountains. Bring on winter.. The trees look amazing There's this huge, yellow, almost golden tree just outside my window, and there's another tree just behind it, about the same size, but still green, and seeing them up against eachother..beautiful!

Ok, that's enough! Time for food and homework now. Thanks for reading.

As we all know, this week will bring the return of Supernatural! I'd say that totally deserves a blog

I've spent the last month rewatching the entire series. Started Aug 3rd and finished Sept 5th. Saw the two first seasons in 10 days, then chilled after that. Started with worrying weither I was even gonna make it, but ended up being done a week before I had to, and I could have been done sooner. I think I did good.

Figured I'd do a little review.

All in all, what I'm left with.. I dunno, I'm a little underwhelmed, but not really.. I don't like to say it but in a way I feel like Kripke, without really doing it, has sort of ruined his own show. What I mean is, it has been building up, and building up, and building up.. Which of course is amazing, but looking back, albeit the quality of the show is just the same, meaning it is still an utterly amazing show, but the impact it leaves, is getting smaller.. I like to use the finale of S2 as an exsample, coz I remember I was all over the top excited about it, and it was so awesome, and we thought we were really starting to see some of Kripke's plan, and we knew all about YED... But, turns out, we were wrong! Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just lowers the impact. Of course, S2 is a long time ago, lots of things have happened, we know so much more now. But that's not ethe issue. Not really. It's not what has happened, it's how it's happened... Uhm, I feel this got messy, makes more sense in my head... Further on this tho, and I know I said this upto several times during last season, everything has gotten too big now! It is too heavy! It has taken away the impact from previous serasons, but has taken on too big an impact so it's hard to comprehend it all.. And even bigger it gets...? But ah, bring it on!

Ok, on to some of my thought that I have collected during my watch, and that I still remember right now

I just can't get over John! Everytime when I rewatch, it builds up all thru S1, more or less stays with throughout S2, then sort of fades away a bit, gets a boost every now and again, especially early in S4, and still, now.. I'm left here, wondering; Just how much did John know!?!?! Supposedly, he knew. But knew what? Did he know the full extent of YED's plan? Did he know only to the end of S2, or did he know beyond that? Did he know all the way thru to the end of S4? Is it even bigger? He did not break for 10 months/100 years, which might indicate he did know. But did he really know the whole, full plan? Everything? All the way down to the Apocalypse? Why did he keep it to himself? Did he know Sam was gonna (be tempted to) go down the rute he did end up going down? The "Save him or kill him" idicates he might of. But how? And did he know that Dean might start it by going in after he got out? I could go on, but you know where this is all going. How much did John know, and how did he know it??!? Also, have to say, John, IMO, has to be the best hunter! (That we have been introduced to anyway. I know there are others that we have not heard of, and there are those we have breifly heard of, and those we have met briefly, and there are those we know...and, by what I can tell (and if John really did know...which I'm leaning towards he did), he has got to have been the best!)

Another thing that I can't let go, but I think we're supposed to get an answer to, Croatoan!??! I hope so... but I'm not sure (No spoilers please! Uhm..ok, if you know anything, you can confirm or disconfirm it, but no more info! )

One more thing: Do we know why the CRD said she could get in trouble for dealing with Dean?

The best episode: What Is and What Should Never Be! Such a fantastic episode! It is just about perfect! Honestly, it's the best episode I have ever seen, of any show, ever! It is so amazing! I love it so much!!! I mean, the story, the writing, the acting, the directing, the editing, everything! It is all so incredible! It doesn't hurt that it is kind of special with the fact that it was the first ep Kripke ever directed. But that's just a bonus. And he did a great job! And, I mean, the acting! Jensen, the guy who always deliveres, outdoes even himself on this ep! I just can't get over it! Why did he not get an award for that ep!?! And the editing/cutting! It is so amazing! Seeing Dean's reflection in the pictures/the computer. And when he sees/remembers from the warehouse. (The girl and the people hanging) The first time he saw those people hanging in his closet, I thought that they were actually there, hanging in his closet! I thought like, "what, the dude thinks he's normal, got a normal life, and then the poor kid goes off to find people hanging in his closet!?!" But then the girl was there, but then she was gone, and so were the people... Man... Aw, Dean continually broke my heart! Seriously, the first time I saw it, I cried straight thru the whole ep! From the first scene with Mary, and throughout. And occationaly I lughed. And then I cried again, then lauged, etc..such an emotional rollercoster for me this ep!I love it! I mean, the jokes were so great, and maybe, because it was so emotional, those tiny moments of humor just became all the more pleasant. But come on! "I can't believe were even related." ... "You're still my brother." "B1tch." "What are you calling me a B1tch for?!" "You're supposed to say jerk...nevermind." And the end!!! Dude is actually apologizing to his imaginationary family (and he knows they're just his imagination) for not staying! And he's willing to kill himself for something he's 90% sure of! He had everything he ever wanted, but was 90% sure it wasn't really, so he killed himself! Or, he almost did, then they confirmed it was imaginary and tried to convince him to stay, and then he apologized and... And he "wanted to stay so bad"!!! Obviously, I'm glad he didn't stay, and I appreciate all the crap that happens to them, coz the show wouldn't be what it is without it (the core of the show is to torture the main characters) but it breaks my heart every time! And there's the lawnmower scene!!! And the graveyard scene! (had to be mentioned..)And I could go on, but I'll stop myself there I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!

The ep I wish I loved: The Rapture. I want to love this ep, but I can't. It just..it could have been so much more...Or maybe it was enough, but it could have been done so much better! I mean, it's a great story, and Misha is....well, he's Misha! But the writing just... Especially some of the dialogues.. and some of the monologues aswell.. and just general conversations.. Some is good, but some just doesn't sit right with me. Also.. the guests could have been better. Actually, the girl, Claire (Not bothered to go find their names) she did a good job. She was just sort of there as Claire, she was an important, but not a very big character, but I felt she did Castiel justice. And that is not at all a bad accomplishment by a young girl Amelia on the other hand.. Ok, to be fair, she was abit victimised by the bad writing I mentioned. It was especially the (first) dialogue(s) between her and Jimmy that felt odd to me (After he returned. Present time, not past.). I blame both the acting and the writing there.. The one when he is about to leave again, and she is sitting in the car, he's kneeling down outside the car, that one was nice tho So yes, all in all a good episode, but it could have been done better. And I wish it had been done better. I can't fully enjoy it when I know it could have been so much better! And very easily so! And I wish Castiel/Jimmy/Misha could have gotten a really fabulous episode! Considered how big and important Cas/Misha is, both to the show and the fans, he should have gotten a truely fabuous ep! He had a great story, but, unfortunately, they just weren't able to execute it..

That's all I can bring to mind right now...

How excited are we tho!?!?!?!!? I cannot wait!!!!! It's gonna be gooooooood!!!! I am fairly spoiler free, but the little bits and pieces that I know.. It's goona be gooood!!! So excited!!

(Please go wild on the comments, but no spoilers )

Argh!!!!! I am so freakin pissed at tv.com right now! I might be overreacting, but come on! I'm sure you are all familiar with the Facebook Connect thingy.. Well, I've been clicking Cancel, I don't even know how many times, but the stupid window keeps showing up, and today I accidently clicked Connect, realized it and immediately clicked Cancel, but too late. And now I'm stuck, coz this stupid site don't even have a freakin disconnect option!! Seriously!!!! Stupid freaking ass of a site! Seriously you guys, if it weren't for all of you, I'd be long gone! It's like the people behind this site are putting all their effort into draging all the fun out of this place! All was good before the changes started, why do they have to ruin everything! I am seriously tempted to leave. But I wont, coz I don't wanna leave my friends here, so... Again, I am staying here ONLY because of you guys. I will not let tv.com ruin the friendships it helped me create.

Edit: For the best kick, read thru this:

http://www.tv.com/tv.com-general-user-support/facebook-connect/topic/15904-1312911/msgs.html?msg_id=13419949#10

In short, tv.com is actually violating FB ToS by not providing a disconnection option. Also, they advised us to change our name on FB to make sure it doesn't suddenly show up all over this place ((I think, so far) it only shows at the top where my username is supposed to be, so only I can see it, but who knows if that'll last ), but even that is a violation on FB Tos. You're supposed to use your real name there. Not to mention, FB is for real life friends, not just for random online chatting, how are people supposed to find you on FB if tv.com is forceing you use a fake name!?

Hello you all! I know, awesome title.. Ok, I'll just get on with it

I've started back at school. I'm at my nature/animal/agriculture school now. Well, not right this second, I'm at home for the weekend, but yes. All week I'm staying at the school/dorm. It's fun. I like the school. It is exhausting tho. I don't really have much/any spare energy to be social after school, so that gets kind of boring..it's actually a lot harder to be anti-social when there are bunches of people running around right outside my window.... But I just gotta try and get into everything, learn how much I can take during a week, and so on.. So yep.. The actual school is pretty cool tho. I get to hang in the stable during school time Also, I drove a tractor this week! That was pretty awesome. It was sooo slow tho! I walk faster than what I drove that tractor But that's ok. It was an old tractor. And they're not made for fast driving anyway, they're made for working. Hard work. I like tractors. I want a New Holland The school don't have any of those (Tho there was one visiting one of the days) but they got several others, so, you know, it's cool
Otherwise.. I've only really been there for a week, so I'm not entirely adjusted yet. Will bring the rabbits there sometime next month I think. Beyond that, there's not really a whole bunch more to say on that... Except for this one really, really awesome thing that I am totally, completely, freaking excited about

One of the closest neighbours to the school has got an Impala!!! I don't see the car/house from my room, and, seeing as it's a big school (you know, it's an actual farm, so they got quite a big area) closest neighbour isn't entirely close. Well, not far either, a few hundred metres. They gotta drive thru the school area to get to the main road tho, so, if I'm by the window, hear them coming, look out.... It's just annoying that 99% of the time it's not the Impala but some other car One of the times I saw it drive by, despite the obvious differences to Metallicar, it was just like seeing Dean and Sam dring by! And the sun hit the car perfectly, it was so beautiful Some day tho, I shall be lucky and actually be outside, about to cross the road myself (gotta cross the road to get from the dorm (and most other places) to the actualy school building) as the car drives by... I do have a plan tho, I'm gonna be there for 2 years, I got plenty of time, I am so gonna convince the dude to sell me the car! It is not a total Metallicar double tho. It is black and gorgeous and well kept and all of that, but it's a drop-top and it is not a 67. I don't know exactly what it is.. Haven't seen it too close ( Was close enough to read MPALA on the side That was the first time I saw it, we were out on a little sight-seeing and drove past the house), and I have to admit, my general Impala knowledge could be better... But it really does look like the Metallicar, so, based on what I do know, and Google Images, and the fairly little that I have actually seen of this particular car, I'm guessing on 66 (possibly 65, or some other year, but, based on the detailes that I know and love on Metallicar and the quick comparison I was able to do, I'm gonna put 66 as my official guess). Close enough. I am in Norway afterall, and the car is living right next to my school! What are the odds!?!

Another thing I'm excited about is: A1 is back! Well, semi back anyway. For those of you who don't know them (wouldn't surprise me if none of you do ) they're a British boy band from late 90s to early 00s. I love them, I really do. They are still my faves a1 is Ben, Mark, Paul and Christian (Chris is Norwegian btw, that's kinda fun. One of Norway's biggest/most selling artists ). They were formed in 99, released 3 albums, were huge in Europa and Asia, then they split in 02. Paul left first, then about a month later the rest of them decided to «take a break to work on solo stuff». That break has now lasted for almost 7 years. Chris has had success in Norway, 2 solo albums, plus a Christmas album. I don't remember exactly (don't pay much attention to the charts) but he's had at least one top 3 (think there was more than one), and several top 10 (singles and also the albums I believe). He has also been writing and producing for several other artists. Mark just released his solo album this summer. He's been doing a lot of writing (and producing I think) for bunches of other people aswell. Ben (my fave, I have to say So he's the one I've been paying closest attention to. I keep up with the others aswell, and I kind of get some free info on Chris seeing as he's Norw, so that is always fun ) Yes, back to Ben. He released one single. It flopped. I do know which song he should have done instead, and that was supposed to be the next single, but then he broke with his label (he did that upto several times) so nothing more has happened on that front. He has also been big on writing and producing for others. They all do that. That is one of the reasons why I love them so much. They're not just some pretty guys thrown together, where half of them can't even sing but are there just to make it look like a band. For each of their albums they wrote or co-wrote most of/all of their songs, and played their own instruments. Not all (boy bands) got that quality. As for Paul, he was for a while in this cover band (they covered RHCP mostly), so he stayed with music aswell. Just in a smaller/less recognised way. Supposedly he left coz he was uncomfortable with the celebrity status. Also the reason why he's not on now with the comeback. I miss him too, tho...
Now, info on the comeback! It's not a comeback for sure (They say they don't wanna call it a definite comeback, tho they also (always have, and still) say they don't wanna rule it out completely. Then again, they also didn't call the split a split at first, they called it «break» I stay optimistic, they have proven they don't always stay entirely true to what they say ) It is just a reunion, a 10 year anniversary. This summer they performed together as a1 for the first time in 6 years. They played on a Norwegian show. Coz they asked! The people from the show called Chris and he called the other guys and they just thought «Why not?», so they did it! And, despite all the time that had passed, and even the one member missing (they did perform a few times just the 3 of them back right before they split aswell but still), they claimed it felt like no time had passed, it just felt natural, and all the songs were still in their heads/fingers And they enjoyed it so much, the guys were here for about a week (they were gonna do that anyway. They've been keeping contact and have visited each other several times over the years) and did some writing and stuff, and, they decided, to the total excitement from all their fans, to do 4 gigs in December! In Norway! And I might go!!! And, you know, I got online friends from all over, who I met just because of a1, and might meet up with them..some of them.. There's this one chick in particular, I've been talking with her for years, she's from Holland, and she might come! I don't even know which I am more excited about! Seeing a1 or seeing her!

To continue my music talk, Good Charlotte are working on a new album aswell! Well excited about that! I love those guys! I think there's only like 2 songs out of their 4 first albums that I don't particularly like. All the others I like or love on some level. They are so wonderful! They got amazing songs/lyrics and Joel and Benji got great voices, and they all seem to be genuinly nice guys all thru I heart them.
And yes, there you got my top 2 within music.

TV! I am in the middle of rewatching SN before S5! Very excited! I think I've decided on doing a SN blog once I'm done watching, do a rewiev of sorts of the first 4 seasons, coz this is getting long enough as it is, and I'm not done with S4 quite yet, so. And when I get done, S5 will be really, really close! It already is really close but then it will be even closer! That will be so awesome!

Harper's Island: I am really slow at getting to this (even for me, as I finished about 2 weeks after the rest of you guys ) But you know, with everything that's been going on with the blogs and all.. And I promised Emiko I'd give her my thoughts, especially on the finale, so here it comes (possible spoilers) : Basically, the show, thruout, it just got better and better. I LOVED ep 12. It was awesome! The end was the most fantastic thing ever! I mean, the whole, with Trish running thru the forrest in her wedding gown, that was gorgeous! I love that scene! And then, she runs into Henry, and then the whole revelation.. It was amazing. Incredebly well done. And I never, ever, not in a milloin years did I suspect Henry! Never! I thought, if anyone were to get out alive, it would be him, Abby, and maybe Trish...well.. I was kind of almost right...tho not right at all.... I started suspecting the sherrif (Jim! ) rather early. Until they started blaming him on the show, then I figured it wasn't him afterall. Didn't believe it to be Jimmy, but I did start to suspect Sully becoz of his total convintion(sp?) it was Jimmy. You know, like he was trying to hard to get everyone against Jimmy so that people wouldn't start questioning him. But then it was Henry. Again, I never saw that coming. After it finished, all I could do for several moments was to just sit and stare at the screen going «Wow...wow...Wow! ....wow...» Ep 13... I was a little underwhelmed. Probably becoz of what happened in ep 12, so ep 13 kind of didn't have the same klimax.. I didn't really like the end.. I mean... Once it was all out in the open... and Henry started explaining himself etc...it kind of didn't make sense... It just....I dunno, felt weird... Obviously, the guy killed everyone so that he could be with his sister, still. And him not killing Jimmy, that was random and unneccesary So yea.. The show was good, the finale was not, but the second last ep was fantastic.
I only really liked one character here. It was kind of odd, seeing as I usually watch, at least partly, for the characters.. But here, the only one I actually liked (and him I really really really liked ) was Cal. He was so adorable! And his death was so heartwrenching!

Castle: (Kinda slow on this one also, tho I only finished a couple weeks ago) I really enjoyed that show! I've seen it now, over the summer, following the Norw TV schedule. I don't think I'll be able to wait for Norw tv for S2 tho! Plus I want to rewatch... I loved the Pilot. It kind of didn't really get much better, but it also didn't get worse. It evolved nicely. Excited for S2! I want more back story. Kate has really grown on me. I didn't not like he to begin with, but she has gotten so much deeper thruout the season. Rick is just..Rick Alexis is probably the one who has grown on me the most. I still find it semi annoying with the, like, not at all rebellious teenage daughter vs her partying grandma. But they have sort of toned it down a little bit, it's more bearable now. And, like I said, Alexis has really grown on me, I like her now, and I love how they do her and Rick's relationship
And the finale! Man, I got so mad at them!! I was so ready to get some huge revelation, then *black!* Me: *.....Huh? WHAT! NO! Nooo no no no no!! :O :O :O That is so mean! That is so mean! That is like.... almost Kripke level!! :O :O :O * hahaha So yes, bring on S2! And, coz I'm lazy I'll just ask here so I don't need to go search for it : Do any of you know when S2 starts? And how many eps will there be?

How I Met Your Mother: I really wanna see HIMYM. I don't know, I've only seen a few randoms eps, but the last couple of weeks I've been having these like withdrawls. It's weird I am kind of in the middle of watching L&C and Heartland, but I had to pause them to get to SN, so maybe I'll just continue keeping them on hold, and start watching HIMYM just as I finish SN.. Or I'll watch all 3 shows at the same time, that works too (Possibly rewatch Castle also... ). All I know is I need to get to it soon I have been thinking to watch it anyway, just didn't think I'd feel it like this, making me push other things aside to get to it

I saw Flight of the Phoenix last night. Was on TV. It was good. Jared wasn't in there a whole lot, he was there only to get lost really I found that rather amusing, how he got lost, and the last bit we saw of him..all.. hah! If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about All in all, a good movie. Not a great movie, but a good movie. I didn't really feel any of the characters tho. Uhm..what's his name (see, I don't even remember his name, that's a great sign!),*looks it up* Elliott. He was kind of interesting. But not really. He was a bit odd. And then too odd. So yea.. I think they tried, a little, to provide some kind of connection to the characters but they failed. More or less. I mean, at the end, there was this far shot where all of them were shown, and I counted them just to see how many where there, coz I had no clue. That's about how fascinating they made their characters. Ok, enough with that. Despite the lack of fun characters, the movie really was good. The consept sounds kind of over-done and all, but it really could have been executed in a far more terrible way. It has been done in more terrible ways. It was actually a pretty good version. It was kind of frustrating tho, coz everytime they (characters) got something right, made some improvement, got some hope, soething happened to put them back again. And again. And again.. Like I said, good movie, don't avoid it if you're a Jared fan just coz he's not in it much, coz it is still worth the watch. And if you're into House/Hugh Laurie, he's got a kind of big part. And those are the only two that I know from before. Enoguh.

On an entirely different level, Firefox has stopped working on my laptop I love Firefox! I thought it was only at school, coz that's when I first had the problem, but now I can't get on here either No way I'm gonna do with IE, so I'm on Opera for the time being. I miss the Firefox tho! I gotta get it fixed. Probably take the lappy to the computer dude at school. Supposedly he's a genious.

To jump on something entirely different again: Election: Monday September 14th is the Norwegian election. Stortingsvalg. I suppose this is when I tell you about how things work in Norway? We're very much like UK really. We do have a king, but he doesn't really have any political power, he's just got the title. His job is to represent Norway in other countries, go on official visits all around the world, and to visit places and organisations and stuffs in Norway. Our Parliament is Stortinget. That is where the prime minister and all the other ministers are sitting (or standing or whatever it is they do while they're at work.) (Also, if Misha was Norwegian, Stortinget would be where he'd be at when working as an intern He would not stay at the prime-minister's house, he'd be at Stortinget ). They are the ones with the real power. Tho they can't really make any big decitions by themselfs either, it all goes thru the people, or at the very least thru lots of seperate divisions. So yep. More or less. I don't really care, nor know, too much on this really. Might show? But, election is this year, I am old enough to vote this year, and I plan to do that. Only problem tho, I have no idea who to vote for! Politics bore me.. I mean, I know it is important, and I want to do my part, but I have never been able to pay attention, and I still can't. I'm trying, I actually sat down last week to catch a tv debate, but I zoned out all the time... I did find out who not to vote for tho, that's a start! Also, I do have one «safety» lot(?) that I'm gonna vote for if I'm unable to make up my mind on a more constructive level. I might vote for them anyway, of course, but I just want to make sure I really do agree with them on as much as possible, and compare them to all the others etc. Make sure there is no other I should vote for instead.

Ok. I guess I have bored you enough for now.

Hi. Just thought I'd let you all know I'm still alive

I've been having issues with tv.com all week, kept kicking me out, I basically had to re-log in for like every 3rd click. I'm sure you can imagine how that can become annoying after a while. Plus I'm rewatching SN. Suddenly realized last week that I only got about a month (been thinking all summer that I got plenty of time, but as it seems I have completely wasted it what tv-watching is concerned )

I miss it here (I miss all you guys!), but I'm sort of protesting, plus I'm busy with SN, plus school starts back in a couple weeks, so busy with that too.. So, between all that and my fear of spoilers, there really isn't that much tv.com time left for me..

I'm not gonna make any more out of this blog. I do have a few topics I want to go into, but I don't even know if the blog is still gonna be here tomorrow, so.. No serious blogging. I think most of the topics will still be worth something when I eventually do get to them, and those that aren't will just have to pass, and there will probably also be new topics for me..

Here is the link to my disappeared blog btw:

http://www.tv.com/users/supering/profile.php?action=show_blog&entry=1307021#comments

So...for now... Enjoy the rest of the summer, I'm off to watch Croatoan!

June has arrived, meaning summertime! Altho the weather hasn't been very representative the last few days. It has actually been snowing on some of the mountains around here But hey, that is Norway for you! Last weekend was quite amazing tho. Lots of sun and warm nice weather then.

First swim of the year was done a month ago. Then the second was last week. Too far between the two. Seems like the sun is planning to come back now so I will have to go find a lake in the following few days I guess.

The ocean is completely green lately. Due to plankton and stuff.

Phf I got nothing to say really.. Just felt like doing a blog..about summer..

Plans for the summer anyone?? I don't have any really. Nothing concrete anyway. Well, there's one thing that is pretty much set. Going to Oase (a Christian festival thingy) next month, with two of my very awesome cuzins That should be cool. It lasts for a whole week and it's kind of far but.. Should be ok. And got at least one more thing planned with a few cuzins. And theres some (road)trip talk with my fam. Other than that I'm mostly justgonna chill and try spending as much time as possible in the lake/ocean. Oh, and I have a goal set to reach the top of the mountain. There is this one mountain in particular. It's not very far/high. It is sort of "our" mountain. We got lots of mountains around here but still, everyone seems to think of this one as the main one. I do too. I have been on a few mountains the last few years, have been on this one too, but not to the top, so that I will do this summer.

Um. Saw a bat a few days ago Love bats. Well, I don't know if I'd love them as much if I had a huge, like one meter huge bat after me..or if there were 1000s and 1000s of them.. but a few tiny, about 10 cm bats that we got here..they are cute And now I have seen one this year, that means summer is here.

I don't have a summer job. Not really planning on getting one. But my grandpa thinks I should. They were here a ew days ago and he started asking me about it, and got it in his head I had to do something, trying to come up with something he could hire me for. Took him a while. So they have this cabin right, awesome place. We were all there a couple weeks ago, and my other grandma was there aswell. While we were there, my two grandma's were talking about how they could live there all summer long. When they (grandma and grandpa) were here last weekend, this came up(wheither it was them living there, or just the cabin as a topic or whatever, I don't remember),and grandpa was like "There it is! That's your job! Your grandma's can live up there, and you can be their maid! I'll pay you for it." It's not even a crappy idea. I could do it, for like a week. I love it up there, but there is a limit. And only my two grandma's for a whole week.. Love them too of course but.. Yea I dunno. Well see.

Ok, pictures! Took some pics of the ocean yesterday, figured I'd show you. And then as I was looking thru the pics I found a few more worth showing. So some of the pics are included coz of what I've been saying up here, while some of the things I talked about were inspired by seeing the pics. (Sorry if they are huge, forgot to resize. Got no clue how they will turn out.. plus I'm lazy)

This is the cabin. *lovelovelove* It's not the best pic but it's the only one I got here. This is from about two months ago.

This is my gran's car. From the same time (at the cabin). It had just been standing for like, two-3 days I guess, and the snow/ice was melting away, so it appeared to be flying

The very green ocean. I don't know how well it comes off on screen but.. it does look pretty cool! And beautiful! And it is my fjord, which is love

And the mountains. They are pretty aswell. This does not show the one I plan to reach the top of. These are some of the ones with snow on them. It is gone now tho, the snow on them now/in these pics is old snow. Will probably be gone in about a month or so.

& My babies! In their new cage. Being all innocent, probably don't even know I'm spying on them Or maybe it is me not knowing they know..hm..

Ok, that will have to do. I didn't really have a plan for this blog yet it did manage to get longer than what I had in mind.. Weird that..

Just to make sure as many people as possible know about it. Go to Mandy(shmandda)'s blog

http://www.tv.com/users/shmandda/profile.php

for more info

So, most of you probably knows but anyway, and for those of you who don't, there's talks about doing Insomnight the weekend following the final. The details haven't really been worked out yet, but it's Friday or Saturday, possibly Sunday, maybe even as cool as a 2-3 day event So, if you're interested, maybe got an input on when it should be, how to do it/games etc, please visit the Insomnight thread.

I'm so very not good at blogging lately It's been well over a blog since my last blog. But what am I gonna say?.. Um..

Well, Harper's Island is on Norw TV, ep 4 to be shown tonight. We're only 1 ep (10 days I think) behind the US! It's awesome! It's pretty cool. Lots of familiar faces, both from SN and other stuffs. I don't love the show but it's good enough and it's only 13 eps and by the end everyone's gonna be dead so I'm gonna keep watching.

SUpernatural?? Yes!! We have to talk SN!! Only one ep left.. But I think it's gonna be good... I'm sort of avoiding the forum and blogs and everything this week, coz experience has thought me to be exstra careful just around the final, with what spoilers are concerned, coz I don't want to know anything I left my thoughts in the ep thread tho, and as I was typing I came up with a cute little theory (That I don't believe for one second but I'm gonna live on a happy, pink cloud this week, so go with me ). If you've been in the ep thread you might have seen it, anyway, it's that Sam or Dean more or less accidetly end the world by killing Lillith (ok, that part I actually do find plausible) and for next season, Castiel rips out his grace, thus creating a beautiful place with a huge tree and all of that and Cas, Sam and Dean live happily ever after in the gorgeous, peaceful place created by Cas' grace I love it Ok, but seriously tho, this show is so messed up, and I so can't wait to see the final (tho I dread the end...it's gonna be a long and painful summer ) And I'm looking forward to it starting with Carry on my wayward son! There'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more. Bring it on Bring it on Bring it on!! Can't believe it's the final tho, the season has gone by insanely fast. But still, it just can't come soon enough

Otherwise, life is keeping me some kind of occupied with everything that involves. I am very ready for summer to arrive and school to end and all that. The first swim in the lake is done, spring is over as far as I'm conserned, it is still over a month left at school. I just want to get it overwith and the weather to get as amazing as it possibly gets here so that i can go swimming every day and do the stuffs I've started to plan with my cuzins and whoo awesomenesses.

So, I promised to keep you all updated on my grandma and all of that. Well, good news there. Not even really news anymore, but, you know, no blog = no updates. Anyway. I dunno if you remember but I was going on about the whole living situation and how messed up it was and all of that (2 blogs ago) It is now setteled. The complaint got thru, and she now gets to stay there until something else/better becomes available. That, honestly, is the best we could ask for, coz that's the plan anyway, and now she doesn't need to worry about rushing in fear of being throw out from where she currently stays. So yes, awesome, I'm impressed.

EDIT: Dude, you guys! It's official! I spend way too much time on here and I take all you crazy people way too seriously. My English teacher thinks I totally cheated on my last essay. I blame all you guys! Apparently my vocabulary is way better than what it's supposed to be, and I had a lot of clever sentences and I'm not even trustworthy! It's not setteled yet, she's gonna consider it some more/I get to try convince her a bit more, but I think she's either gonna fluke me or give me an A. I can't help but find it amusing. Wheither I can get her to believe me or not, I'll always know it's my work, and I'll take the A anyway. But I just find it kind of fun that I'm too clever for my own good. And, again, I blame all you guys, even Kripke, coz it's your/his fault I'm constantly on here, and you are all so clever and most of you are native English speakers (but this isn't only for you English people, it's for all you non-english people aswell), and you come with all these words that I need to look up, both on the random talk, but also, and maybe more on the heavy discussions/speculations, and Kripke was able to get all you clever people to obsess all over his show, and I watch the show, and I read your thoughts, hence, it is your fault my teacher doesn't believe me! Phff, I want to thank you, I love all you guys! And I suppose if I tell my teacher about you then maybe she'll believe me anyway. You got me into this, it's only fair you get me out of it aswell.

Alright. I guess that's it. *Sits and waits for Friday*

Well hello to you.

First off: Supernatural season 4 will start on Norwegian TV tonight! Norway is adopting the US SN day to be thursday. We're also adopting having it on a teen/girl focused network.. It was supposed to be on the network that aired s1-3, and theyhad set it up to start on Feb 15th. But then they cancelled it and put up some other show instead. So now this other network, owned by TVN btw, is gonna air it instead. See beyong fact that it's a girlie network, I think it's better. TVN had put it up for Sundays 11.30. FEM (new network) has it on Thurs at 10.30. Smacked in between two eps of Ghostwhisperer. Hopefully people wont be fooled by that it's on FEM, and hopefully the GW watchers will sit there also during the hour between the two GW eps. I think I (and the show) can very much live with this.

Otherwise. Went to see the Biathlon World Cup live when they were in Norw last weekend. About a 6 hour driv one way, but completely worht it. Was supposed to have two cuzing with me, but then one of them wrecked him foot 2 days before we left, so he couldn't come afterall. He's now gotten a snowboarding prohibition for at least two weeks before the next time the WC comes to Norway So was me, a cuz, brother and parents, plus uncle and aunt, plus another uncle who lives about an hour further (so we don't see him too much) who came down and got the extra ticket We stayed with a friend of my mom. They're such awesome people.

The races were good! OE Bjørndalen won both the races we were there for. And Tora Berger won one race. And the atmosphere was so freakin awesome! My cuz and I, we're both somewhat French-fanatcis (the language in particular), and between the two races one day we noticed 3 French people, so we just happened to be standing next to them during the race. Unfortunately tho, they weren't very talk active, and it was a lot of noice there, and we think maybe it was only one of them who was actually French.. But he talked English/French with his pretty French accent, so the little parts wedid hear were good (: Anyway. My dude's didn't really do too well tho. Lars Berger and the Fourcade brothers.. Well, Martin, younger brother Fourcade, he did kind of good actually. Finished 12th one day, but with 4 errors (16 hits out of 20 shots). That was the best result by the 3 of them the two races I saw, both ranking and shooting wise. And Simon (older Fourcade) didn't even start one of the days, and got 7 errors on the one race he did start in. He never misses the target 7 times during one race, he's a good shot! But still, it was good. I kind of like them all on some level anyway, so the entire course is basically filled with my faves. And it's cool seeing them in person, these people I spend all winter long watching on TV. And then my cuz (who doesn't really care about biathlon but was there just coz I convinced her to come, and coz the tension around sports events is really awesome. ) laughs at me coz I know them all just by the suits and the way they walk and their bodybuild. Yeah, it's fun.

Oh, and, my grandma and a cuz were watching the races in hopes of seeing us. We tried explaining to them where we were standing, what we were wearing and such. Apparently grandma was sitting there "Is that them? There, that's them! There they are! *waving at tv* I see them! Or, there maybe, there!!" Everytime she saw someone waving (which should be pretty much all the time) or she thought it was us, she waved back. I can totally picture it!! When I was on the phone with my cuz I could hear grandma in the background kind of half asking herself, half asking the tv and half asking me weither it was us she caught a glimps of there or not

Andnow the season is very soon over. Last round is this weekend. I'm gonna enjoy it, and then start waiting for the season to start back up in Nov/Dec. I kind of wanna go to the NCh, but, can I convince my fam (who, btw, doesn't really care, they were just so shocked when I suggested it last year that they agreed to go, and figured it was kind of fun beeing there so they weren't opposed to doing it again this year) to do 2 biathlon weekends in less than a month? I can try.

Moving on. I know I talk too much btw. My fingers run a little wilde when I first get started.

Um, school? Is pretty good. Except for maths. Can't get my head around it. At all it seems. And there's a test on Monday. Yay. but other than that, school is good and the subjects are doable. And my science teacher is funnier than ever. I still think it's without him even being aware of it. I'm a little sad whenever I'm there tho, and remember they have cut down some of the trees just outside the window. Including this one cute, tiny, little tree that I noticed one of the first days at school this fall, and immediately started looking forward to spring and seeing that tree going green. Then, just as stuffs are supposed to go green, it's gone. Bummer. And then there's the cab issue. Not much of an issue anymore. They went bankrupt, then they didn't, but then they did, but then they were bought up by another cab comp, so all is good. Pretty much all the "old" drivers have quit tho, only one left and he's only staying out April. I was really starting to like some of them. But then there's one dude in particular of the new oneswho's kinda cool so. He likes good music. Keeps listening to rock. And asks if I've heard certain songs before. And all I'm thinking is "SN music!! "

On to the sad part of the blog.. Today it is exactly one year since a building collapsed in my city. I still remember the shock ans disbelief I felt when first hearing about it. Can't really imagine it's been a year already. Time just *phooof*..

Yeah, well..I really should just shut up soon. But don't be surprised if pics to illustrate the biathlonfun shows up. The pics are on the other comp so I'll see if I bother when on that one. Uhu. Yep. SN for me in just over half an hour now! And then a brand new ep first thing tomorrow morning! Oh, me can like this! Bye now!

I realized my last blog was a month ago, and that wasn't even a real blog.. So I decided I'd just ramble on for a bit. Aren't you lucky

Ok..so..let's start off where I left off: Birthday

I had a great day. Had a few cousins over. I made them dinner. It's not something I often do, but I decided pizza/taco was too boring/common. Had to show off in some way, it's not every day you're officially declared a grown up So I had 5 cuzins here, then one more plus one's BF (fiancée actually) came later. After dinner I opened the gifts. Two of them (sisters) got me like 8 seperate little things. It looked like Christmas Eve I got some great stuffs. Well, great for me, I don't know how many 18 year olds would be excited about receiving rubber ducks and all kinds of randomness After that we played Ligretto (best game ever!) and forgot all about time and space and candy and chocolate (yes, I actually forgot about chocolate!), and then suddenly they had to leave..coz it was Thursday, which means Friday came next with school/work.. But it was great while it lasted.

Saturday my bestie threw me a private little party at her house. She wasn't here on my bday, so she decided to make up for it. Again, I had the best freakin party! Just the two of us, prezzies for me, movie (Benny and Joon, I'll get back to it), chocolate, cake (she made it. It had 18 candles on)... Aw, she's the bestestest!

Sunday, a small family get-together. Grans, uncle & 2 (rather small) cuzins. It was rather chill and fun and all that. Got another cake with 18 candles on.

I had 3 parties. Wasn't really sure I was even gonna do one.

Moving on: Benny and Joon. I love this movie! I have seen the end like 4-5 times, coz I always miss the beginning (coz I don't know it's on, or it's on at a bad time. Usually I've just been lucky to turn on the tv/zap thru just at the right time). Saw it first almost 2 years ago I think, then again about a year later, and now 3-4 times the past couple months. The day I was going to my bestie it would be the 4th time I saw it. I was late then aswell. Phff. But, about 2 weeks later I got to see it They keep showing it (and I keep looking for it) so I finally got to see it I was a little worried that I was gonna be dissapointed once I saw the beginning, coz I basically loved it already after only ever seeing the end several times, but I love it even more now. It is such a sweet movie, and it came together nicely, and these little in-jokes that didn't make sense before, do make sense now and makes it even better. It's from 93, has a young Johnny Depp in it. Well, it's great. Do watch if you ever get the chance!

Biathlon! (Had to come! ) The World Championships were last month (On my bday actually. I spent the morning of my bday watching France winning the Mixed-relay. ). It was a great WCh seen thru my patriotic eyes Ole Einar Bjørndalen got 4 golds(including the relay). Lars Berger came to the WCh as an extra, not sure he was gonna go at all, but first one of the other dudes got ill, and just as he got better, another dude got ill, so Lars got to go all the races. And he took good care of the opporturnity, he got one silver, plus one gold on the relay. Awesomely This past weekend the VC was held in Vancouver. I wonder if the guys took the time to go see them Or if any of the biathletes watch SN and took the time to go and try to see them Next weekend it's in Trondheim, Norway, and I'll be there! I'm pretty much in charge of dragging my parents, brother, and 2 cuzins with me. Only one of them (one of the cuzins), besides me, actually care Well, and there's my aunt who's also gonna be there. Don't be surprised if I come with a biathlon blog in a weeks time

Supernatural: It's fantastic having the boys back! Last ep was GREAT! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season, dread the end of the season, and excited/scared about next season... But we're getting it, and Cas'll be there, so I'm ok. Me going to Trondheim this weekend means I'll (most likely) be a few days late with watching SN. I hope I at least get to dl it before we leave on Friday. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to see it but I thinkit's gonna be too much stress(and interruptions and whatnot). I could watch it in the car I guess (it's 5-6 hour drive both ways) but I prefer to watch a new ep alone the first time. Then I can really just zone in on SN and forget the world, and I can't do that in the same way if there's people around (specially if they don't fully realize my obsession ) or if there's lots of other stuff going on. So, I'd rather wait and watch it when I'm alone, even if that means I might have to wait. I can't really wait for it but I'll force myself.

Desperate Housewives. Coz it's on in about 20 min. It's so good this season!We're up to ep 11 (tonight). I'm this *shows with fingers* close to being impatient and dl the entire season!

Bunnies: They got a new out door cage. The old one was pretty much falling apart. I was gonna do before and after pictures but forgot about it. You get the idea anyway, it was a mess, now it isn't.

Otherwise.. Not very happy today... As some of you probably know (and still remember?) my grandparents' house burned down a few months ago (was exactly 6 months on Sunday actually). Grandma was lucky to get out. So, you know, we're still trying to deal with all that, which, not easy. Certainly not for my Grandma who has to start all over again at the age of 78, after losing her husband, and her home for over 50 years, and everything that includes. Not to mention she almost died herself. She's recovered really well, as far as I'm aware there's not really any still lasting physical issues caused by the fire. But the pain is there. She's temporarily living at some care residence, while waiting for something else, more fitting for her living permanently comes available. She went there coz that's what was best suited for her just then(and the only thing available), and she wanted to go there, she felt some added securitly in having close acces to extra help if needed. Which she doesn't really. She was already almost too healthy to get to stay there when she moved in in the middle of Nov (just 2 months earlier she was close to death. It's pretty amazing.) But, her being lucky with her health after the fire, that's being used against her! She got premission to stay for 6 months, I think those are the rules. We always told her not to care about it, it's just to apply again and get extended her time being there. That's what we thought, and that's what I think she thought aswell. I mean, it's not like they can just throw her on the street or something. But still, it's always been there, as an added, and most unneccesary burden in the back of her (and our) mind. Her time would be up in May, so the application has been sent. Today she got the respond. Denied. Seriously!!?!! Where else do they expect her to go!?!? Yes, she's at good health considered what she's been thru, but dudes! SHE GOT NO WHERE TO GO!!! It's not like most others they have staying there who have a house to go back to. It burned to the ground! Six months ago! You can't build a house in 6 months, certainly not the winter months! AAAAGHHTHGHTHTDI!!! Obviously we're gonna sent in a complain, and I do expect it to go thru. I hope that they were just going blindly by the rules when they turned her down, and that when going over it again they'll consider her individual situation. If not, I don't even know what's gonna happen. Of course, we're a big family, anyone of us would let her stay with us any time, as long as she could possibly need. But she's trying to move on. She feels at home with her family, but it's just not the sme. Now, she doesn't really feel that much at home at her apartment now, but she's trying to, and it's her place (or so it was) and it's the best she can possibly get until something else comes along. But there is nothing else yet! She knows where she wants to go, but there's no apartments available. She's just waiting for it to become available! Arghhh!! Rather pissed off at the system right now. They better work it out!! She really does not need this added crap on top of everything else she's had to go thru. If they don't let her stay we will have to demonstrate or something... Grr... again, not happy, but thnx for letting me rant. I'm gonna leave now.

*Smiles innocently and wonders if anyone takes the hint*

Yep, we got snow. about 2 ft I think. I haven't actually checked, but it's definitely more than 50 cm, I think more around 60 cm, or even more than that. We usually do have about 30 cm/1 ft or more at least once every year, but it's been a few years since last it was this much. And I think it'll even come more. I love it. I think I love it too much, I'm getting exhausted coz I can't just sit inside and waste the snow, I gotta go out and use it while it's here, and that can only go well for so long I keep sledgeing (right usage of the word?) and taking saltos (best thing in the world when it's enough snow ) and it's been cold enough to go ice skating. Now it's too much snow for that tho.

Ok, pic time

These were taken yesterday, it's even more snow now.

See the pile of snow in the middle here(below)? In between the bushes. You sort of see a trail leading towards it. That's supposed to be the bunny cage. They are completely drowned in snow But they don't mind. They like snow. They like having "extended their cave". Snow hotel. Iglo. We took all the snow away from the cage yesterday, but today they are just as snowed in again. I gotta get out to them soon.

It's too cold to build anything with the snow now, but last time (about 2 weeks ago) it was great building temp. Mom and I made this "snowlight"

And we made this snowman. He got really tall. Like, Jared tall. My brother and two friends came along just at the right time, so they helped us connect him Then, during the night, it got warmer, and he lost his body, crashed to the ground

Alright. I think that's enough for now. Just enough for you to see all the fun I'm having

I wish I could send some of my snow to Australia to help put out the fires...

First, let us start off with a moment of silence in memory of Kim Manners...

Rest in peace Kim.

Now. I've been kind of busy lately with watching biathlon. It's taking a lot of TV time for me I know most of you probably don't care at all, but I love it, so I'll go on about it for a bit.

Season's been really awesome so far IMO Svendsen is in the lead of the World Cup total. Bjørndalen 4th, and seeming like he's really getting back on the right track. A few more Norws high up aswell. And my fave Berger is doing good. He shot clean for the first time in his pro career, and won a race for the first time in 5 years. The Norw women aint all bad either.

As for my other faves, they're a little all over the place really. Some of my biggest faves last year haven't really shown themselfs at all this season, some have been great yet again, and there's some new one on my fave-list. There's lots of new, young, up-and-comers this year. First time WC'ers with lots of potential. Of course there is some new ones each season, but I feel like this year it's been really high quality on several of them. And not necessarily first-timers, some are in their second or third year in WC and doing a great job now. Should be fun following all of them in the next few years, see just how far they can go.

A little status report on a couple of those I follow closest: On the women's side, Iourieva(RUS) is currently leading the WC total. Men: Fourcade(FRA) has gotten company by his younger brother, so now there's 2 Fourcades for me to pay attention to Good thing I like them both, coz they often are around the same level/time, so I see two names Fourcade on my screen and have no clue which is which

I just have to talk about Ole Einar Bjørndalen for a bit. Dude is so awesome. He is, by far, the most-winning biathlete of all times. 83 indvidual wins. Plus one win in coss-country. With 84 wins total, he's currently the second mostwinning ski-athlete. The most winning is an alpine-skiing Swede, Stenmark, who was big in the 80s. He made it upto 86 wins. I said OEB was "currently" the second most-winning, coz chances are he'll get at least 2 more wins. Afterall, last I heard, he's thinking to go on till 2014. So he still got a few more years. I think he may go up on 90, maybe even (closing to) 100 wins. How awesome whouldn't that be?

OEB, obviously, has bunches of fans from all over the world. His name's practically synonymous with biathlon. Of course, winning over and over and over etc will get you noticed, and as impressive as his tremendous succes is, I think that is not the only reason why he is so popular. It also has a lot to do with just how down to earth he is. I mean, with 144+ times on the podium, 84+ of them (more than 50%) on the top, you'd think he'd start to get a little done with/full of it all. But he's not, at all. I've seen him cheer for getting 2nd. I've seen him cheer for getting 4th. I'm sure I've even seen him cheer for getting 6th, or even further down the list. All within the last couple of years, when he already had like 70+ wins, and already was the most succesful biathlete the world has ever seen. And seeing/reading an interview with him, it'll just strike you. Sure, he loves winning, and that's always a goal for him as for everyone, and you'd think he'd start seeing it as a waste of his time everytime he doesn't win. Then, you realize that the person who probably cares the least about where he ends up on the ranking after each race, is him. He loves his sport. What matters to him is to always improve. He may be the best, but he still tries to improve. If he feels he did a great race, then he's happy. Doesn't matter if he ended up 1st or 6th. That is what keeps him going, that is why he can be happier for getting 2nd than 1st, that is how he manages to still, always be excited and nervous before the start, and that is why he is one of the greatest sportsmen the world has ever seen.

Ok..that got longer than I planned. Anyway. Next up now in the biathlon season is the World Championships (Feb 13-22). That should be fun. It always is. Biathlon every day for over a week. Add my birthday being during the WCh week, doesn't make it any worse. And maybe OEB will get his 2-3 wins. (Yea, I just can't shut up about him can I? ) I hope he does. He had a rather slow start of the season, first time in 11 years that he didn't have a win before Christmas. But he won 2 races (plus 1 relay) now after xmas, and his main focus this season is said to be the WCh, so. Yep. And even if he doesn't live up to the hype and expectations, someone is bound to win, so no matter who it is, it will be very fun for them, and hopefully lots of excitement for me and all my fellow biathlonfans.

Right. Moving on. I suppose school should be next up. This year is just the same as always. The news on that department is I've got my application done for next year. I've applied to the school that I told about last time(I believe I did it last time, too lazy to go back and check. But pretty sure I've talked about it before anyway) The "animal school". I dunno what the English call it, Nature-course? Just hope I get in. And that my health will allow me to attend, and get thru the year.

The bunnies are all semi-excited in their usual bunny way about possibly going to school. Yes, they will come with me. They are however more excited about spring lurking just around the corner, and it shouldn't be too long now before the first little taste of fresh grass They are enjoing winter, except they are starting to get a bit annoyed with their water occationaly freezing, and the frost keeping the ground too hard to dig in it.

I am enjoying winter aswell, but I still haven't seen the northernlight this year. I miss the northern light Also haven't been ice-skating yet, but we just learned a few days ago that there's safe ice on a lake nearby, so I think we're gonna go during the weekend.

As for my TV watching, like I said in the beginning of this blog, biathlon takes a lot of that time, so I'm blaming it for not having gotten around to see any of the new Kyle eps. It is very much on my to-do list. Trying to catch up on Lost. Not easy. Trying to see all of S4 before S5 starts on Norw TV. All my other shows I'm following as they are on here. Except for SN of course, couln't get myself to wait any longer than absolutely necessary for my SN! Officially new ep today, for me that means I'll get it tomorrow. Very excited about that (when am I not excited about SN anyway? ) except of course...it is the first ep to air after Kim passing.. wonder if it'll be weird.. wonder if they already have gotten time to do the "in memory of" thing.. won't be long before we all find out, but do any of you know how fast that stuff usually takes?

Well I think I'm just gonna end it there. Can't really think of anything else to say anyway. Thanks for reading, have a nice day. Drive safe, don't fall down the stairs, and don't eat so fast you miss your mouth and end up getting a fork in your eye. (No Shazz, that is not directed only at you )

Merry Christmas everyone!

And to those of you celebrating other things, Happy Holidays!

And to those not celebrating anything now, Happy week

Wow, it's been a while since my last blog, hasn't it.. Which also means it's been a while since what my last (real, not about the blackout) blog was about, happened.

Well, if you remember, in my last blog, I told you all I had recently lost my Grandpa in a housefire. It is now almost 3 months ago. Things are starting to get back to normal, but I kind of see, and realize, more and more, as the shock goes away, that it will never be the same.

They tore the house down last week. Or, you know, what was left of it. I was there a few days later, and..it is still just so weird. I mean, when the house was still standing, everything seemed so..semi-normal, and the burnt house felt more like a prop that just happened to be where the house was supposed to be. Now, from the road, it doesn't even feel like their place anymore. It's just so..different. Everything is evened to the ground. Like, it was me and Dad who were there, we were gonna get something from the outhouse, and driving up, and walking towards it, it just didn't feel like..you know..it..there.. The house wasn't there to tell me that this really was the place my grans spent most their life, and where my dad grew up, and.. But when I came up to the outhouse, I had walked past the "house", and was standing with my back towards it..I just, sort of, pictured Grandpa standing there by the door, waiting for us to come back down with what we were getting. Just like it used to be.. I so desperately wanted it to be real, but I forced myself not to think about it coz i was just about to start crying. Coz, turn your back towards the house, everything looks just like normal, and it is so easy to imagine it still is, but knowing that it isn't, and that if/when you turn around you'll see that the house isn't even there, much less Grandpa....You might have guessed it but I'm crying right now, typing this...I'm gonna move on..

Grandma is doing awesome. Seriously. She's moved in to a new apartment now. She's been there for almost a month. And seriously, the way she handels all this, I mean, obviously, it's hard, and she has her moments, but they're not that many, and she's just so amazing! She has always been one of my biggest rolemodels, and her & Grandpa's relationship, that's how I wish my marriage to be(50+ years and still clearly in love. They almost even seemd newly inlove sometimes.. ) and as much as I have always looked up to her, now I do even more. I mean, having to go thru all this, and still being able to look forward, that just brings on a whole new level of respect. And I am so happy I still got her! We all are. She never gets any peace from us now Apparently, yesterday, she had visitors prety much all day, she hardly even got time to eat So, that's awesome. Honestly, I have to say, I actually didn't think I would really get her back. I mean, when the docs said she was gonna be fine, physically, I immediately believed that, but I didn't think I would get her back with her mentally being, you know, good ol' Grandma. Surely not right away. Maybe after a while when she'd had time to prosess it all.. Because of both the physicall and the mental stress she had been put thru, there was a possibility she wouldn't recover, there was also the possibility she wouldn't wake up from the coma, but she did, and, straight away, she was the same woman she has always been. Like, she even jokes about it! She went to the hospital, I think the week after she was let out from there and to the nursing home(so, about a month after the fire), and she said "I went to the hospital and brought with me everything I own." which really wasn't far from the truth, and is a bizzar thing to joke about, but she did, and if she hadn't convinced me she was fine before, surely that was the point where I just knew that, really, this woman is just so strong, so amazing, she's gonna get thru it all. She's gonna be awesome. And she is. And it's fantastic.

I think I'm gonna stop there with that for now. Life goes on. And really, it's still lots of joy in the world, and in/with/for the family. One thing to really show that is, my cuz got engaged last weekend! I'm really excited for them! She is one of my best friends, just one of the sweetest, nicest people ever, and he's an awesome dude aswell, and they're gonna be great, I'm sure. I got a good feeling about them So that's fun

Otherwise..what has happened to me the past 2-3 months... Um..School...is going well. I've started thinking about what to do next year. What I do now is I have 3 subjects. The "main" ones, the basics, that everyone gotta do. There's 2 such subjects remaining. So now the question is, do I stay at the same school, finishing those subjects (which, basically, would mean, rather than moving up each year, I actually cut down, which, not ideal.) or, do I go to another school, a school that actually offers the line I want to go, and try to do all the vocation-directed subjects aswell as the 2 remaining basic subjects. It would also mean me moving away. I do kind of like the latter option the best. Now I only have theoretical subjects, and it's rather boring, and next year I expect to be even more boring, and the line I want to go is with animals, so the possibility of being around animals at school is very tempting. The only issue tho is I'm not sure I'm up for it. This year I have 8 lessons/week, next year will be either, I think it was, 5 or 27. This year is going better than I would have thought, and I now think I would be able to do a few more lessons, but 27? I don't know..

I also don't know what will happen to the bunnies if I move. If I do, I'll be gone Sunday-Friday, leaving someone/everyone else to take care of them for 5 days/week, and I don't think they're up for it..I am very much aware the only reason we still have them is because of me, and, the rest of my family likes them well enough, and they do enjoy being able to see them from the livingroom window and all that, but still, they also don't hide that fact that they don't really care one way or another wheither we keep them or not. So..And I can't very well stay home for possibly another 5 years or so, just coz of the longeared creatures.. Now, I THINK there MIGHT be a possibility of taking them with me. Not sure, gonna have to check that, gonna visit the school, so I'll find out then. But I claim to remember reading something about the school a while back, about some students there having rabbits/small animals as their, what do you call it, elected subject? The school is mainly about bigger animals, horses and cows and such, but, I'm just thinking, coz I don't remember if what I read said anything about it being the student's rabbits or the school's, or both, but as people can bring their own horse, I'd think it should be possible for people to bring their own rabbits aswell? Well, we'll see what I end up with..

And. What else?.. Oh, yes, Supernatural! S4 is freakin fabulous! I love it! And I love Castiel/Misha to pieces But, I guess, if you've seen my posts around the forum, chances are you know that already And now it is just a little over a month till it returns! Woo! And just around the same time Kyle XY will start up again aswell, so that's gonna be good Until then, biathlon WC just started this week, so I got that to keep me busy. For months. WEEee! It is so much fun with biathlon being back. Today's races, especially the men's, was really exciting Aw, man, I love biathlon! Love for Lars Berger and Simon Fourcade And Raphael Poiree, who's training Lars this year, and dude, I think it works! I love the fact that two of, or more the two top faves of mine, are working together like that And in any case it seems to be yet another good year for Norwegian biathlon. If only Ole Einar Bjørndalen wins soon, preferably gets his, I think it is 5 remaining WC wins, he'll be the mostwinning winter athlete ever (I think he's got 81 wins in biathlon and 1 in x-country ATM, the record is 87 I think, set by a slalom dude. A Swede nontheless! OEB needs to get the record to Norway! Kick the Swedes! (Sorry, just a little bit of inborn neighbour rivalry there ))

And Christmas coming up. That's gonna be good. This year has gone by fast tho..and these past 3 months..just, poof.. Part of me is kind of still stuck back in mid Sept..but yet I am very ready for Christmas and New Years..

So well yes..This just got crazy long didn't it? 2 1/2 months of nothing had to lead somewhere Just wanted to update you all a bit..

Thanks for reading and hugs all around!

I've had more time to ge annoyed with the site, so here are some more things I would like to see changed

1: On the episode guide, include the guests actors/actresses on that list(like it used to be).

2: Fix the 2nd page in comments already!

Those are the main..

But, I have found some improvements already, so I'll include that here too, coz that is good

There is now a scroll when writing a new post. That is good.

And a few days ago, I couldn't see a "next episode" and "previous episode" button when reading the on the episode summary, and also no "next season" and "previous season" button on the episode guide/list. It is there now, so that is very nice.

1: Please just take away the white background! And the colouring in general. I mean, seriously, bright on bright??

2: Show more than 4 blogs, and include how many comments they got.

3: Show smilies and actual visible text in comments.

4: Drop all the random userinfo that shows up in the comments and in the forums (such as the date they joined and that stuff. If we really care, we'll visit their profile).

5: Keep the userinfo on the side of the posts/comments. The way it is now (with everything on the top), it's hard to differ between what's general(yet somewhat random(see above)) info, what's the post (and if quoting, where the quote ends and the actual post starts) and what's the signature. It's all smashed into one, and it's just basically confusing and annoying.

Some of us who are unhappy with this new layout are going to stay away from tv.com on Sept 30th. If you are not happy with this new layout either, and want to try and get something done, please feel free to join. Check out Glenn11523's blogs for more info.

You may or may not have noticed I've been sort of absent this past week? I wish so bad I could say it was to prevent getting spoiled on SN, or even to avoid this new layout, but unfortunately that's not it...

Last Monday(can't believe it's been 9 days already) my grandparent's house burnt down. Grandma managed to get out, but Grandpa did not...

Grandma is gonna be fine. She was aware when the ambulance came, but when they came to the hospital they found it best to put her into a coma. They(docs) said that having her sleep like that so soon might make her forget her most recent experiences, and we were sort of hoping she would, but she remembers everything..

She remembers being woken up by the fire-alarm, going down to check, and finding the livingroom on fire. She sees/hears the glass shakeing, and then it shatters. So she goes back upstairs(to the bedroom) to wake up Grandpa, and tell him they have to get out coz the house is on fire. She knows he got up and followed her into the hall. She runs down the stairs and out, but he doesn't come..... Then she starts screaming, and running around(obviously in shock) she's screaming for him to come out, and for someone to come and help them, and just..(Only wearing her nightgown, it was less thatn 10C, but the heat from the fire was extreme. The firefighters said they were in on the thought of moving the trucks when they were standing on the road, coz it was just that hot. But seemingly, to her, and what she has mentioned later, the biggest problem was the grass was wet and absolutely freezing and she had no shoes) After a little while, someone does come, but they don't dare to go up and get her, coz it's just too warm, and,"the house looked like a bonfire", and she was running around, mostly on the upside of the house(where the door is) and they just don't dare to go past the house. They are able to get her down tho, and they have her sit in their car while waiting for the ambulance to come. and this is where she don't remember much more. She remembers these two coming and letting her sit in their car(and to give a sense of how aware she was, she recognices this man. At the scene of the fire. He's married to her 3rd couzin, so she knows him, but not that well, but still, in the middle of everything, despite the shcok she's in and all that, she knows him. And the other dude is his son, she probably knows him too). But she doesn't remember the ambulance coming. My uncle and dad werecalled out to the house, so they were there, Dad was in the back of the ambulance with her(again to show how aware she was, and what consern she has for people, Dad was on the phone to his sister, and told her to call their other sister, and Grandma says(and my aunt hears this thru the phone)"No, don't call her, she might pass out". They called her, and she didn't pass out, but she just as well could have..), and my uncle in the front, and all her kids are at the hospital, but that's gone to her. (This based on what she's been saying both now after she woke up again, and on the night of the fire, and witnesses)

They're still not entirely sure what caused the fire. The investigators have been there, and they're done at the house. They got their theories, but they're not sure. We might get an answer once, but they have said it was so burnout that they might not find anything..

Yesterday was the funeral. It was totally weird. I don't think it has fully emerged on me yet.. And also, it was so weird, coz Grandma wasn't there.She was too weak to attend the funeral(there were about 400 other people tho, at church, and around 150 at the..memorial-get-together? after) But we had a memorial-service the night before the funeral. Which was at the hospital(supposed to be in church but they moved it to the hospital for Grandma's sake) so they just rolled her down, so she was in her bed the whole time, and it was just the very closest family, so even tho all the rest of us were at the funeral the next day, and that was just absolute final, it just sort of felt more like the last goodbye and that there.. Altho it was emotional and a nice funeral, and I was not really fully able to grasp that it really was my sweet Grandpa inside that white coffin, the whole feel, and everything with the memorial-service just..it was so real, and so simple, and just us(just us meaning like 30 people..big family ) so that sort of felt more like IT sort of, and then the funeral was like...."official" but on a very personal level..if that makes any sense..

So...that's why you haven't seen me that much lately, and why you probably wont see me quite as much as normal in the nearest future.

I just gotta tell tho, the house is basically gone, and we didn't really expect to get anything from it, but my uncle asked the police once we were there (on Wed, 2 days after the fire), just to have asked really, like "There is no pictures or anything is there? I guess that's all gone?" Policeman: "Um..Wait a sec.." He goes up to the house, digs around a little bit, and comes down with two little boxes with photoalbums in them. We go a little nuts right there, even tho we don't have high hopes of finding lots of pics that are still intact. We put it in the car and are about ready to leave when he(cop) comes down with even two more boxes. We go over to my uncle who lives about 3 mins away, and we start looking at it. And, there's lots of pics! Some are slightly burnt, or melted, and they're mostly all wet, it was like they were just wet enough so that they hadn't stared to dry so much that they totally stuck to eachother yet, and not wet enough to fall apart when we touched them. It really had to be that day for us to deal with them, a day later they would all be ruined. So we startedputting all the pics out on the ground. Took out blankets that we layed them on. And when we were mostly done with those, my uncle went back in hopes that maybe there could be more, and he came back with another big box, plus a giant bag full of pics! It may seem like little, but we didn't expect to get anything, so when we got those pics out, and so many were still working, only a very few that were ruined, that was just..fantastic. Everything was still crazy, everyone still in shock, but yet starting to actually realize some things, and semi able to think straight, and we had goten some semi good new about Grandma that day, and just to be able to do something, have something from them to go thru, just be busy, have soething to do with them, and fully with the fire to do, yet not, that was just amazing right then. So we were stuck fixing those pics the whole day. It was great. And such a fantastic luxury problem when there was no more room on the blanketsso we had to find boxes to lay the already dry pics on. In the middle of all the crap, that was really great

Alright...well... I guess you know more than you absolutely have to right now.. And it's getting way long, hope it's not too long..:/ Anyway...yep... I gotta eat now, and I'm gonna visit Grandma in a bit

Hope all are doing well
