The One Who Tidies Will Find...

Haha... While I was tidying my apartment I found a photo from the day when Jesper was baptised. Afterwards he was so tired and while sitting in my arms he started biting my thumb... eventually he fell asleep at the table, still with my thumb in his mouth... poor child. Now he is 4 years old, a big guy! ;-)

The Magic Snow

This is what my eyes first saw when I walked out of my apartment this morning... and it felt great. I love winter's first snowfall. It's magical and I never stop feeling amazed about it...

Believe It or Not...

...I'm going back to Ireland the first weekend in December. It means I'll have to live on porridge for the next four weeks. But, hopefully it'll be worth it. At least I'm looking forward to it, to see Anthony again. I'll bring with me some "Konjaksglögg", "mandel+russin", "pepparkakor" and perhaps a "lussebulle" or two. Hehe...

Went to a seminar today where we discussed how to use poetry in class, it was really interesting and I had forgotten how fun it is to discuss and analyze the meaning of a poem. Anyway, Loretta, who held the seminar introduced an Irish poet to us (Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill) and I really liked one poem we read. Here it is. Enjoy!

Blodewedd
[translated by John Montague]

At the least touch of your fingertips
I break into blossom,
my whole chemical composition
transformed.
I sprawl like a grassy meadow
fragrant in the sun;
at the brush of your palm, all my herbs
and spices spill open

frond by frond, lured to unfold
and exhale in the heat;
wild strawberries rife, and pimpernels
flagrant and scarlet, blushing
down their stems.
To mow that rushy bottom;
no problem.

All winter I waited silently
for your appeal.
I withered within, dead to all,
curled away, and deaf as clay,
all my life forces ebbing slowly
till now I come to, at your touch,
revived as from a deathly swoon.

Your sun lightens my sky
and a wind lifts, like god's angel,
to move the waters,
every inch of me quivers
before your presence,
goose-pimples I get as you glide
over me, and every hair
stands on end.

Hours later I linger
in the ladies' toilet,
a sweet scent wafting
from all my pores,
proof positive, as if a sign
were needed, that at the least
touch of your fingertips
I break into blossom.

Could You Please Show Me the Direction To Prince Charming?

When you least expect it, and when you least are looking for it, they seem to pop out of every corner... and they want your attention and they are all very charming... but it can be quite confusing for a poor girl to have too many "suitors"... who's prince charming? Which way leads to his house? What I need is a map-reader who can show me the way to Prince Charming...

Ignorera en man...

...och han kommer snart krypande tillbaka... konstigt det där... just nu verkar de komma krypandes från alla väderstreck och oberoende av geografisk hemvist.

Fortsätt halstra!!

To My Colleagues

Alright so... as you might have noticed I no longer have the time or patience to write in English as often as I should, and this blog will be no exception. Ha... I dag var kanske inte den allra bästa dagen vad gäller undervisning och struktur, men fasiken om jag inte alltid har roligt på jobbet ändå. Kära arbetslagskollegor, ni förgyller min arbetsdag och det är kul att se att det finns fler lika knäppa personligheter som jag på denna jord. Ni är underbara!

Indeed Very Interesting

Saker och ting har tagit en MYCKET intressant vändning. ;-)

Ska bli kul att se hur det här kommer att bli...

Hi hi...

It Was a Great Crack!!!

Jag hade så.... (känsliga läsare bör nu titta bort för den här bloggaren tänker använda ett kraftuttryck)...JÄVLA roligt igår!!!! Se...jag använder till och med mer än ett utropstecken fast att jag som svensklärare vet att det bara ska vara ett... det brukar räcka bra så. Men nu var det så... så.... så himla kul!....kul!!!!!! Haha... hade med mig digitalkameran och nu på morgonen när jag tittade igenom bilderna så skrattade jag länge och väl...

Foton och rapport kommer senare... ;-)

Fanns ju en riktig sötnos där... men har tyvärr inget foto på honom... men kan ju bli ett så småningom. Hehe...

Hard Rock Flirt

Went downtown today to buy some wine for the evening. On the way home on the bus I caught the attention of a guy in his early twenties. He was dressed like… well, if you saw Idol yesterday you can say he was dressed the same way as Danny was. You could tell from his appearance that he likes rock music anyway, for example he had a bandana. He was quite cute and all… Hehe...

Well, he got off the bus two stops before mine and forgot(?) his shopping bag on his seat. Although, I didn’t notice that until I was about to get off the bus myself. Without thinking I grabbed the bag and hopped off. But what to do now? I could put up a note on his bus stop because he’s likely to take the bus again someday… yep, think I’ll do that.

Anyhoooo… really looking forward to going out tonight with my sister, Marcus and Marcus’ friend Johnny whom I never met before.

Sayonara,
Lady Di

A sort of a tipplers way or just clumsy?

Isn't funny? When you least expect it, you find another person on this earth who ALSO manages to walk right into lampposts that happen to be in the way at the wrong moment. We've both succeded in doing this... not just lampposts I might add... but EVEN trailers or cars parked in the street. It's quite amazing that we've never ever suffered any real injuries. Jenny, I'll watch out for lampposts for you if you'll do the same for me. ;-)

Time to go to O'Learys to wet our whistles now...

BUT...

...Thursday will be a better day...
After work at O'Learys...

STILL HUNGRY!

Crappy Day!

In every aspect, a crappy day...
AND I'm starving! And NO!
I will NOT cheer up!

Karlssons klister någon?

Cheap glue I'm telling you, you can never make it stick.
Cheap glue I'm telling you, that it going to make you sick.
Cracked up in pieces and you still think it'll work this time.
I'm telling you again, you'll have to try a different kind.

You think that it's going to make you feel alright.
You still think that it's going to make you feel alright.
But cheap glue is just going to make you feel bad,
I'm telling you that it's never make me feel glad.

Cheap glue I'm warning you, you'd better open up your eyes.
Cheap glue I'm telling you, that it just ain't worth the price.
You try your best to patch it together, but you know that it ain't no use.
'Cause cheap glue will never hold, it just makes you look a fool.


You think that...

To Freak Out and Let Out Some Steam

Wind me up
put me down
start me off and watch me go
I'll be running circles around you sooner than you know

A little off center
and i'm out of tune
just kickin this can along the avenue
But i'm alright

coz it's easy once you know how it's done
you can't stop now
it's already begun
you feel it
running through your bones

and you jerk it out
jerk it out

shut up
hush your mouth
can't you hear you talk to loud?
No I can't hear nothing 'cause I got my head up in the clouds
I bite off anything that I can chew
I'm chasing cars up and down the avenue
But that's ok

coz it's easy once you know how it's done
you can't stop now
it's already begun
you feel itrunning through your bones

so you jerk it out
jerk it out

(Caesar's)

From Now On...

...ska jag försöka sluta hänga upp mitt liv på andra och vad de gör och inte gör. Försöka hitta en egen hatthylla att hänga upp erfarenheter och upplevelser på. Först måste jag hitta klädhängarna... men hur och var gör man det?

Kan just nu relatera till det som Marica skrev i sin blogg nyligen. "I'm right and you're wrong so you can go fuck yourself!" Nu ska jag ta hand om ME, MYSELF and I!!!

Skål och salut!





BTW, drack ett gott vin igår, Bengt Fritiofsson Primitivo. Rekommenderas varmt... godare än Rawson's Retreat.

Veckans citat

En oförglömligt beskrivning om hur det är att hjälpa elever som inte alltid är så samarbetsvilliga... Kan tyvärr inte ta åt mig äran för detta eminenta uttalande. Så Peter, tack! Du förgyllde min dag! Haha...

Det är som att
raka en gris med
en slö rakhyvel!

Strange Days Have Found Us

Stange days have tracked us down...

Met up with Johan for the first time in almost five months yesterday. It was a strange feeling, I was all nervous and my legs were shaking. Why, I really don't know, 'cause there are no hard feelings between us and we have talked on the phone a couple of times. Anyway we went to Hammar's café, "fikade" and talked about this and that. Then we walked together towards Herrhagen and Bojsenburg and said our goodbyes at Kålgårn. So... all in all, it was nice... nice but strange... We have known each other since 1997 and experienced so much together and now, it all felt very odd...

People are strange when you're stranger,

faces look ugly when you're alone... (the Doors)

I'll probably change the name of this blog soon so give me a shout if you would like the new address later on.

The Wonder of Technology

All right so, just found out how to publish my old blogs from lunarstorm.se so that they would end up on the correct day in my blog here on blogger.com. So, from now on you can read all my old ones as well.... from January 2001 to October 2006.

Porno Cat 2006

Haha... Let me introduce to you, this year's Porno Cat nr. 1

Something to Look Forward to

Yeah!! I'm going to a concert with Sugarplum Fairy
the 26th of October. Really looking forward to it...

They're GREAT!

It's the Small Things...

...in life which in just a second can change your mood, from the deepest misery and hopelessness to joyfullness and happiness. It could be a phonecall from a friend, an invitation to a party, someone buying you an ice-pop. ;-) You know what I mean... I have been working way too much and way too hard lately and therefore been feeling kind of down and miserable. Furthermore, it isn't that fun working from seven in the morning to seven at night, going home by bus in the darkness just to get home to an empty, dark, silent apartment. NOT fun at all!

Feel a little bit better now... still have a lot of work to do, but I feel alive again anyway. A-K and I took a walk in the sunshine today. It was a nice walk on a beautiful autumn day. Marica and Marcus are always able to cheer me up... have been laughing a lot together with them. It's great having them so close.

Yesterday Anthony called me, he was having a party. It was nice talking to him and all his guests.. haha... ;-) Anyway, it also made me more light-hearted and hmm... inspired... think I'm going to have a party soon, inviting my friends over and having a laugh.

All right so... Miss Wall is on her way back to life... she found it under her bed, dusty and all... but still intact. :-)

"Handen på mitt hjärta... blaha blaha blaha blaha..."

Last weekend M&M held a house warming party and I, A-K and Anders went over there with two bottles of wine. Haha... shiraz, merlot... anything goes... We ate some nice food together, talked and laughed. THE moment of the night was when Marcus started his lecture about... well... hmm... what was it again? Bla bla bla? I wouldn't make it justice trying to explain so let Marcus do it instead... have a look further down the page, you'll find a link there.
However, I laughed so much at first my stomach hurt. Had to hide under a big pillow 'cause I was laughing so hard... after about five minutes I decided to use my camera and film him. The film has been edited by Marcus (Mc Ynnes) himself. (link further down)

Anders and Anna-Karin are sharing a footstool.

"Finns det hjärterum, finns det stjärterum"!

Wouldn't you agree?

Mc Ynnes is giving Anders a private lesson
about The Art of Music Production


Idun slept calmly in her bed while we were
chatting, laughing and drinking...wine... ;-)


Marcus


Marica poses patiently...


...but enough is enough!

F***K OFF SIS!


We were baby-sitting (kitten-sitting?!) Hugo who
also slept, but used the rug instead.

Anders, Anna-Karin, Marica and I (Diana)

Looking like a saint with a gentle
smile on her face...

Thinking of Bellman?

Anna-Karin trying her best to hide behind me...

Anders in total control of A-K.
"Now, loooook intooo the camera...
and whatever you do, DON'T blink!"

Anders is sucking up to Idun... which wasn't that hard.
He had much more trouble charming Wilhelmina,
who doesn't like males on two legs.

Don't really know who these two maniacs are...
but I heard some rumours about a break-out
from the Säter's psychiatric ward...

Anna-karin's attacking me in an attempt of illustrating
how one of her students behave at school.

Marica has thrown away her halo, her gentle smile
and the look of a saint... now she tries to imitate
the snobbish people in Falun.

Anders is looking really content and pleased with himself...
or has he had a wee bit too much to drink?

The lads hanging out in the living-room,
probably discussing sound, music and bla bla bla...

Cheers mate!

I think Marcus is trying to imitate Wentworth Miller
from Prison Break.

Lopploella och Norpan all grown up and constantly blaming
the genes for everything that ever went wrong or will go wrong!

"Why isn't anyone listening to me... come on...
don't you understand? It's so easy. It's just bla bla bla...
and then bla bla... see?"

http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h101/fiaskrutt/?action=view&current=Ynnesfrelser.flv

"Me? Drunk? Whatever are you talking about?"

Time to go home... What's wrong with Anders?
Is he having problem with his left eye?
Hmm... let's have a closer look!

Nope, can't see anything weird... but doesn't he look a lot
like Baloo from Torsby who plays in the
bluegrass band Lonesome Mountaineers?
Music video

Oaidnaleapmai
(a saami expression... coming from the "åttondelslapp"(= one eight saami) in Falun)

Angry, Sad and Tired...

Mina bärande väggar är rivna,
jag är arg, ledsen, trött
trött på tomrummet,
trött på hoppet,
trött...

What's the point?

It's Killing Me...

This PODB-writing will be my death...

Come on! Sing with me!

Söndagsångest

Så sitter man då här... lite lätt bakis, med en dagen-efter-ångest utan att riktigt veta varför. Vaknade alltför tidigt för mitt eget bästa. Borde ha sovit mer, för jag ska ju till jobbet i dag (på en söndag!!) och rätta, städa, röja, arkivera, podba och så vidare. Känns lite läskigt att vara helt själv på skolan men det får väl gå.. ibland känns det som att allt jag gör... gör jag ensam. Trött på det... rent ut sagt less...

Igår var vi på inflyttningsfest hos M&M och mer info och foton från den kommer senare. Om ni har tur så kommer det finnas en länk till en liten film där... där Marcus håller föreläsning... kan ju vara intressant att ta sig en titt på.

En liten reflektion... är det för mycket begärt att vara ärlig mot varandra, att tala om hur landet ligger och inte bara dra sig undan, ljuga eller kanske till och med låtsas, att vara den man inte är. Jaja, lite rörigt...men vad fan...
