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

So it's that time of the year again, summer's over, autumn is lurking just around the corner, it's getting colder, the days are shorter, the nights are actually dark, and school starts back up.

Even I am back to school, coz my year off is now history. I'm gonna miss my freedom. But as I'm only doing 3 subjects, and only gonna be atschool 2-3 days/week, I guess it should be okay. If only the school can manage to somehow work out the schedule so that I actually will be able to be there for all my lessons. Is it okay to be even just a little annoyed with them, when we've had several convos with them, they know about my condition, they said they'd consider it while making the schedule, and I know it's not all easy putting together a schedule, there's lots of things they need to think about/that has to work, but still, with all that, they manage to put 2/3 of the lessons in one of the subjects I'm doing as a doubleclass at the very beginning of the day. I barely function before 10, and as school starts at 8, and I gotta get there and all of that, so I'd have to get up at 6.30-7 to be able to get to it. I don't have a chance. But we've talked to them about it, so we'll see what happens. If I'm not able to do it(Gotta be there for a certain amount of lessons, if not, I automatically fail. Even if it's not technically my fault I'm not able to attend), then I'm not sure I even wanna be there... But at the same time I do, coz I just wanna get it over with, and I still got the other 2. But argh.

The actual good thing about school tho, is getting together with my friends. Two of me best friends are also there lurking the halls, and a few of my previous classmates, and other people I know aswell. So that's cool.

Ok enough school talk. I don't like school anyway. Back to end of summer/beginning of autumn. I like this time of year. Despite school. One important thing I'm looking forward to is obviously Supernatural starting back up again! That's gonna be soo awesome!! Less than a month now! Less than 4 weeks! Yiihuuuu!!! Another thing, stars are getting visible again Last night, when I was going out to the bus, I look up, and the stars were looking down on me I love that first time after the summer when the full of stars! sure, I love it all year, but when I haven't seen it for a few months..It's fantastic! And on the same subject, even tho I'm a bit early, coz it won't happen untill winter, at late fall at very earliest, but it's totally worthy of a mention: the Northern Light! Aurora borealis! Trust you me, it is the most amazing thing in the world! And I don't even live far enough north to get the very most spectacular version either. We get it from time to time, but usually just a little bit, and for just a little while, and only green. Only once that I know of was there a bit of purple in there aswell. But seriously, even just the tiniest bit of it is the most amazing sight. Takes my breath away every time I'm so gonna go up norht during winter sometime and see some serious northern light full with lots of colours and all over the sky. I recommend everyone who gets the opportunity to do the same

Another thing that I find a little funny about the Norwegian autumn, is the way we can basically get every season within a day. Or a week for sure. Can go from down, even below 10 C one day, and then up in, and even above 20 C the next. Sun, rain, clouds, no clouds, wind, no wind, etc, over and over(we got that all year really, but late summer/early autumn is extreme at not being able to make up it's mind about which weather to give us ). Oh yea, that's awesome And this is the time when all the crazy people stop going to the beach, while the few sane of us keep going for atleast another month

Again, to go just a little far, late autumn/early winter means biathlon! Bring on winter!!

To not dwell on that, but go further into sports.. I don't really care, biathlon is the only sport I'm actually into, but Olympics!! Norway's doing pretty good. Got a few golds. Yey. I haven't actually been paying attention, but, as the horsegirl that I am, I did see the finals in horse jump, both team and individual. And man was that exciting! We took bronze in team, but now we might loose it coz of doping :/ I hate doping. I hope they find he's innocent, for several reasons, but if not, then I hope they kick him out. Argh it's just so annoying! But even if we lost one, and it was too late to replase him, we had two in the individual finale, and even if it didn't go too well there, that's still the best we've ever done. Woo And, just a little fun fact, one of the 4 dudes on the team(the one who didn't get to do the individual finale, Geir Gulliksen) is from the same city as me. Woo.

Alright. Time to go. I know I'm random. Thnx for reading.
