Small tropical island - Here I come!
Ok, not until fall - but still! Something to look forward to!! I never been to Malta, but always wanted to go. And now I am. We are going there with Derek's family to celebrate that his father turns 60 and his aunt 70. There was a some back and forward on wheter I was going or not, but now I am so I hope this means that I get a chance to better my relationship with Derek's parents and his brother.
Not that the relationship is bad or anything, it's just a bit off. A lot I suspect due to Derek's lousy memory and communication skills. For example he often double books us with his parents when we already have plans with my family, leaving his mother pretty pisses. I don't think she realizes that it's her son who screwed up, if she had come straight to me these problems wouldn't occur. I'm referring to a spesific situation a few years ago where we were going to my grandmother 75th birthday, which we had know about for 6 months in advance, and Derek told his mum we were availanble to go to the theater and she bought tickets. In the end I suspcet she felt it was my fault she wasted her money, but what was I suppose to do? Ditch my grandma?? I think not.
Anyway, this is what I have to look forward to:

Have you ever been??

Song of the week
I'm feeling nostalgic these days. I really miss my friends from high school that I completly lost contact with. They were so more like me, then my current friends are. I know, differences are great and yada yada yada, but sometimes it's nice to be with people who think the same way you do so that you don't have explain yourself, have confrontations or misunderstandings all the time, who enjoy the same music as you, the same clubs as you and who shares the same beliefs as you. The last year I was still close with all my hs friends we listen to this song a lot, and i been playing it alot lately. I love it. Do you? Take a listen and tell me what you think of it.

2010
I recently discovered (in the past two weeks) that there are some debate around how to say 2010. At least there is in Norway. The alternatives is :
1) Twenty-Ten
2) Two thousand and ten.
The "correct" way to say it in norwegian is the long one. Two thousand and ten. The state tv channel is not allowed to say twenty-ten. I think I will say two thousand and ten, when speaking Norwegian. It feels most natural. When speaking English it feel natural to say twenty-ten however.
I know in spain, they say twenty ten. And as my friend who lived with me in Spain said, we did say nineteen-nintynine.... Hm. What people can spend time debating in the media, oh my!
How about in your country? What's the right way to say it?

Loves it!!!
I'm not a big fan of the cold winter. I love the seasons, don't get me wrong, but the extreme cold - spare me! (Spear or spare? Unsure of spelling, english natives please help me out (: ).
This week hasn't been so bad, but we it's suppose to fall down into -20/-25 again next week! Br!!!!!! The posetive thing about winter is among other winter coats! I love winter coats. I have a baby blue one and a red one that I love. Remember I shoved you the red one last year? And now I'm thinking about buying these two. The pink because I been dreaming about owning a great pink coat for a while now, and the black one because my old bl
ack one is a mess. What do you think of them?

The pink one has the cutest bow on the back, but they store wouldn't let me use that photo. Both coats are from Dorothy Perkins.
I'm aslo considering this one from forever 21 for a more casual look, what do you think?
They have it in green, red and yellow I think to, but I prefer the classic taupe when opting for a duffelcoat. So let's pray for a bit warmer weather. If not, I won't complain to much, as I got this great big and warm jacket from bergans from Derek this christmas!
I love it! It's super cozy!! The only thing is that unless the light is bright the jacket looks more red then pink. And while looking for this picture online, I found out that the have a light pink jacket too.. not just this darker version. Bummer! But, I could never exchange it! I never seen Derek so proud of a gift he's given me before. He has picked up that I wanted a pink jacket like this already in october! So cute!
What are you wearing in the cold??

Music help, please! Thank you.
I'm updating my ipod which is needed because I'm completly bored with what is on there. And there hasn't been anything new on put on it for six months either. But after downloading some gaga and britney my mind is blank. What else? So please, give me some tips. What I want is party, feel good song. I love Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Micheal Jackson, Samsaya and Bertine Zelitz, so anything in this neighbourhood I would love.
If there any great "calmer" songs I should check out, please let me know about them to! For chillig out I love David Grey, Beyonce's ballads and some various songs like "Philedelphia" by Bruce Springsteen.
Oh, and if anyone feel like inviting me to Spotify I would be forever appriciative!

2010
Happy New Year! How was your celebration? I spent the evening first at a dinner at a friend's house, before we headed in to the city to a club. I hate clubbing on NYE. But Meagan talked me into it. It was crap, so Derek and left and went to his friend for a small party. Here I had the great pleasure of meeting the most obnoxious person I ever met. She was sooo rude. She came, and told the owner of the place how ugly the appartment was. She asked Derek what time is was, and then pointed out his watch was crap. She went to the owner asked if Camille was his girlfriend, and when he confirmed se told him how nerdy she looked...
Oh, and she shamelessy threw herself at Derek. I was with one of her friends talking, she came over and starting telling her friend how hot she found Derek, not even acknowledging my presence. Then her friend told her that I was his girlfriend she just shrugged it of, and went over to him throwing herself at him, at sending me dirty looks. What a bitch. After a while the owner of the place had enough and threw her ugly ass out. Not a moment to soon.
As for resolutions go, I normally don't have any but this year I've settled on these three.
- Loose weight. Eat healty. Cut out potatos, rice, pasta and bread. Day 7 today. I'm experiencing cravings.
- Be kinder.
- Listen more, talk less.
What are your resolutions if you have any?

Feature Friday: Second Edition
Last week I did a feature post on "My Kafkaesque Life", and today it's time to do another feature. There are so many great blogs which I love to read, so I have many to choose from for this, my second edition of Feature Friday. But today I wish to feature one the first blogs I became a regular reader of, one of the first blogs I ever commented on, and first blogger who ever commented on the blogette.
Amber is the amazing woman behind Mommy Mania. I first noticed her because she lived in Ohio, a state I lived in for a year. And then I came to love her blog because she is brutally honest, and doesn't hold back on anything. These type of personal blogs really are my favorite. I'm a sucker for reality TV, just because I love to see how real people think and how real people react inany given situation. For me blogs offers a wonderful oppertunity not only to learn about different cultures and different parts of the world, but to actually se it through someone elses eyes. I love that, and Amber gives you that on Mommy Mania.
This past 6 months have been extremly hard on Amber. She had to move from Ohio and to her home country Canada, and move in with her parents. Can you imagine moving your whole family (husband and two sons) into your parents home? And Amber have some horrfic experiences from her childhood which I would think makes the return to Canada even harder. She is so brave to share her pain on her blog, I really admire her for that. She is also incredibly brave in searching for answers. Maybe someone can pull some strenght from her's.
If you are not a follower of Mommy Mania, you are missing out.
