I Wish…

It’s 4.45 am, and I’m standing at the reception at the hotel where I work. its been a sloooow night, too slow for me. I’m almost sleeping.

To occupy my time I think of where I’d rather be at this exact minute, and I wish I was in Key West. I wish I was on a cozy bed at the angelina guesthouse, listening to the thunder outside, drinking vitaminwater and eating popcorn. And I wish I was there with Mia. Summer seem so very far away now, and I just wish I was back there again….I was only there for a week, but apparantly thats all it takes to fall in love with a place.

Key West, pretty pretty place. I’ll be back, or at least I hope I will be. xx

Can’t stay away

Last post I made this huge deal about taking a break from the blog, but from where I sit now in a quiet hotel reception after midnight writing my blog actually seems like a great place to spend some time. no, not to read my own posts, but to write you this one :)

The record of visitors on my blog was a hundred and ninety something, last day of August. I am hoping it might reach new heights now, after posting another post.

I am currently halfway through Breaking Dawn (the latest and last installment of the “Twilight series”), and i am enjoying it. So far its nothing like I expected, but then again I had really no clue what to expect. So far though, I can tell you that Stephenie Meyer is brilliant, and she took care of the “most important issue” in an elegant and classy way (wont tell you what, i wont give away any spoilers).

I’m still in love with PostSecret, and read it every week (new cards every Sunday). You should too, it’s good for you. Food for the soul ;-) check it out at www.postsecret.com

I noticed a lot of people stopped by to read about my fight against Norwegian whaling. I love that so many people seem to be interested in this topic, but I do wish more people would sign it. If it helps your decition I can tell you that i am a Norwegian myself, and have only once in my life even seen whale meat. Some guy knocked on my aunt and uncle’s door and asked them if they wanted to buy whale meat of him (I know, DODGY!). They bought it, and I was disgusted… One of the Norwegian governments arguments for Norwegian whaling is that it is an important part of the Norwegian everyday foodconsumption, which I can tell you it honestly is not. Maybe in the beginning of the 1900’s, but thats a looooong time ago. Times are changing, so should Norway too. Help me fight Norwegian whaling by signing my petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/JMM/petition.html

This is a cause worth fighting for, and it will only take a minute of your time!

For news and more on the Twilight book series and the upcoming Twilight movie, go to the writer’s homepage, and read all about it,find playlists for the books and find links to interview videos both with the Twilight cast and with Stephenie Meyer herself. www.stepheniemeyer.com

I better get back to my breaking Dawn book then, since nothings happening at the reception and i am runningout of things to write. I will write back as soon as I feel like it, but am making no promises as to when exactly this will occur.

Goodnight good people!

This is it (for now!)

So, for the people who read my blog (if any), you will have notice my absence from the blog. I apologize (mostly to myself), but sumemr and life in general got in my way.

I think that this is it for me, at least for now. I might start writing again soon, or I might stop all together, or i might start a new blog (to fit my new life). I will let you know ;-)

I got a job, so I will be a nighttime receptionist at an airport hotel in Norway. Uni. is over, and its time to settle for a bit, and make some money. My lovely friend Mia is heading to the Netherlands, where she will study for her masters. I’m not sure, but I think its european politics (aka. the EU). Should fit her nicely :)

I am still awaiting the Twilight movie, and I will be there, front row, when the film premieres (wherever I might be at the time). The fourth book i nthe series, Breaking Dawn, is on it’s way to my home in Norway, from Amazon UK. I have two copies arriving. One for me, and one for my youngest sister. My middle sister has decided to borrow our copies when we’re done. I can’t wait !
For any information about the film or the books, check out the Stephenie Meyer website (www.stepheniemeyer.com).

As for postsecret, i still read it every week, and I’m also a friend of postsecret on myspace and on facebook. One last postsecret postcard here for you (from this week):

For more postsecrets go to www.postsecret.com – new secrets every sunday!

Thanks for reading, and I hope to reconnect in the future :)

sorry (kinda)

sorry for going all AWOL when I said in my last post how I was gonna give you tons of updates. The truth is that then sun came out, and the beach is more tempting than you (no offense).

As soon as it starts raining, I’ll be back :)

Struck by lightning…

It just dawned on me… I am not anyone anymore… what I was is over, and I dont have anywhere to go now… I might have thought I was lost before, but now I know that I wasn’t…until now!

Its all changed and I got stuck in the in-between place on my own…

PEAL – Beautiful Baby Elephant

I just bought my first official itunes cd (bought the ipod in Miami), and I chose Peal’s “Beautiful Baby Elephant”. I heard some of their songs on myspace almost two years ago, and have been “looking” for more of their music ever since. Trying out the whole itunes thing was my excuse to finally get my hands on some more of the PEAL songs.

I love Carousel Junkie, Fall Away, Maria and Lines.

They have kind of a Goo Goo Dolls sound to them, but still very much in the start out phase. I do think that the melodies are especially good, even though I’m not sure about the lyrics yet. The best line is from “Let Me Breathe”, which goes like this:
“When there’s nothing wrong there’s nothing to say”
And when you think about it its true. I know that I feel most inspired about my writing when something’s wrong..

All in all, good first itune album for me and my lovely pink ipod, that I have chosen to name “JurassicPod” in dedication to my all time favourite film (thats “Jurassic Park” for you slow people out there ;-) )

Jetlag…!

I am back from my Florida-ventures, and landed in Newcastle yesterday. I am very tired, completely jetlaged, and not all too happy to be back here. Reason 1 is that I would rather be still in Key West or at home with my family, and Reason 2 is that there is this whole house(+mate) issue to deal with here. I really need to relax, but istead I get drama, and I also have a house to clean and try to pack all my belongings into only two suitcases….not happy!!!

I am very happy about my Florida trip though, and I wish it (or at least the feeling) could have lasted at least a bit longer. I will come back some other day with details and photos from the adventures.

Till then I will try to get some updates on PostSecret and the whole Twilight deal on here for you to read, and I will be off being annoyed by everything I HAVE to do (cleaning, packing etc.etc.)

There is also an exciting film premiere to come one of these days, as I am working on the Florida-mentary about my trip, and should be done soon-ish. I shall off course let you know so you can tune in on YouTube to check it out if you are interested :)

Miami greetings!!!

Sittign in Miami now, and its warm. Spent most of the day in the car. Woke up in Orlando at 6am, and hit the road at 7am. drove to Cocoa beach on the space coast, and then to the Kennedy Space centre. Spend a good few hours there, taking loads of pictures for my dad who is very jealous that I got to go there and not him.

Got back to Miami about an hour ago. Merediths flight is delayed, so right now we are just chillin’ here for a bit (internet cafe). gonan go eat/drink soon, and then I want to buy some new clothes. all my clothes are soaked with sweat (not nice!!!)

Spent yesterday at Universal studios Orlando, and Universal islands of adventure. Got to go on the Jurassic Park ride, and I’ve never been happier ;-)

I will come back with more when i get a chance, and then maybe Ill add some photos too :-)

from Florida with love xxx
