Marieke is a 16 year old girl

In English class today we had to choose from a couple of tasks. I chose the one here we have to make up names and then describe the person behind them. It had to be all Dickensy and creative. I had sp much fun with the task :P I'd rather do this every English lesson then having to listen to boring, yeeeeeah-we-got-it grammer lessons. Here are a few of mine ^^

Loddy WithoutTaste

Loddy is an 18 year old girl. She is very tall, with skinny legs and half long jet black hair that usually hangs in a sloppy ponytail in her neck. She is clumsy and doesn’t know how to act around people. She has abandoned her education, has no job, and just bicycles around the little village all day. Everybody likes her, but people have started gossiping about her careless attitude. Could there be something wrong with her, like, mentally?

Noah Purpleton

Noah is the overly helpful neighbour you don’t want. He is a short, chubby balding 36 years old. The local girls consider him handsome-faced but too pathetic to bother with. He lives with his unmarried mother both afraid to get a place of his own and way too attached to his mothers liver stew. He is a free lance gardener and collects dead frogs in his spare time. Noah is the local gossiping machine. He is always eager to help, if you asked for it or not. Yes, the rotting apples in the back of the hallway closet are from him, he left them there last autumn, but forgot to leave a note.

Clarisa-Jean Glittera to Bourdoix

Mrs. Glittera to Bourdoix is the eccentric older lady that you spot riding her bright blue step down the main street. She is a 67 years old widow experiencing her second youth. Three years after her late husband died, she threw away the black widow clothes and started sewing her own. And she got the hang of it. She is usually spotted wearing a long bright coloured dress, complete with sequins and glitter, with her hair in a messy up do. She owns a number of illegally imported parrots and everyday there is another one on her shoulder. She likes handing out lollipops to little girls and giving little boys make over’s. The villagers avoid her.

Annie Hack

Anne Hack is the scariest thing on this side of the ocean. She is 8 years old and looks like a little angel, with blonde curls and big blue eyes. But she has the foulest mouth. She’ll lure you inn, all smiles and dimples, but when you get nearer you can expect a kick in the shins. She knows more swearwords than a perverse teenage boy and is not afraid to use them. Her hobby is to scream at people until they give her money. She is the leader of the local 4th grade criminal group, known for their blackmailing.

And the winner is...

Germany!

Yay, go Lena, with her cool song and attitude! Here you go, I coulnd't get my typing hands on the live video from tonight, but this will do:

She was better live though! And she was so cute after she won, just all quiet and asthonished. And when they told her to sing she said ''Do I have to sing now?'' Sure, her english sucked and she had the weirdest accent I've ever heard, but it was funny. And after her performance she was babbling away in German, and my dad told me she said ''I don't know where to go now, I'll just keep talking.''

Winners like that make me smile. Can she be my bestfriend?

I'm happy.

IT’S NOT MY FAULT, THEY TRICKED ME! I’m sorry for another ESC post but I love this competition and I need a vent. And that’s your guys.

Spain: This was so cute! And I was honestly impressed by the dancers. All of the sudden this guy comes inn but no one seems disturbed. But then I realized that he was NOT part of the group :P And yes, he runs of stage and these scary looking security men come after him. Later we catch a glimpse of him being dragged along. This guy must be good, that he has actually gotten on stage and stayed there for like 30 seconds too... Respect man, respect.

Norway: No, I don’t like the song, but I’m nonetheless impressed by Didrik Solli-Tangen’s performance. He is a good singer, and I think that they actually make a chance at winning. It would be supercool if Norway scores high this year. I would like if at least one of my homelands has success at this :P

Moldova: The song isn’t even that bad, but the guy singing is just plain creepy and everything looks just crazy. I thought we were past this crazy stage now guys?

Bosnia & Herzegovina: I liked this :D But not really entertaining.

Belgium: My favourite, but that is probably just because I have heard this song for about two months now, and it’s on my I-pod. I simply love it. And audience went nuts, so I’m guessing it has a chance :D

Serbia: IEWWW. Decide your sex, person. You scare me.

Belarus: One of the girls dyed her hair blonde but forgot her eyebrows. Honey, that’s just ugly. Song is pretty pretty though, but to boring to win. Where can I buy one of those dresses?

Greece: Midlife crisis. I say no more.

United Kingdom: Catchy, boyband-ish, not worthy of winning. Sorry cute singer, you are lovely but I’m not a fan.

Albania: Yeah, yeah.

Iceland: Reminds me of Ireland.

France: Allez. The energy is all over the place.

Russia: DRAMAQUEEN.

Germany: Such a fun song, a song for me! Sure her English pronunciation could be better, but it is catchy, in a good way. I’m rooting for you Lena!

Portugal: Yeah, yeah.

Now I’m gone, got to watch the results ;) I will be back with the winner!

It's a circus, but it is sure as hell fun

So, I just watched the second Semi Final of the European Song Contest, and like everytime I love watching it. I feel like a little kid, though I am certainly not giving little kid critism. I like breaking the performances down, and I remember the ones I liked from the past years. People have wondered why I care. I don't know. It facinates me.

Lithuania: I actually LIKED this :P They were funny and inventive. Hm, never expected that.

Armenia: Honey, your boobs are falling out. Don’t get too close to that ancient flute player that is fake playing, he will swallow his instrument. And why do you have a see through trail over your white jeans. And why is there a wannabe hippie with a homemade cut spazzing out behind you?

Israel: CUTE. And since when is Arabic such a beautiful language? Since THIS and today THIS.

Sweden: Ehm. Taylor used-to-hook-up-with-Lautner Swift imitator much? But without the voice.

Denmark, Azerbaijan, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia: BLÆH

Switzerland, Ukraine, Bulgaria: That is just WRONG.

The Netherlands: My cheeks are red with shame. The Norwegian program leader even said that the song was slaughters by Dutch critics. Nice commercial talk. Sieneke doesn’t deserve to win.

Ireland: Is that a guy? A guy with a wig wearing a bra with socks?

Cyprus: Kind a cool, but creepy guy.

Georgia: Great singer, idiotic dancers.

Turkey: It was like... Background music?

Romania did have a supercool piano though. I’m guessing it was fake, but it sure was spectacular. Soemthing like this:

Songs that are going to the final on Saturday:

Georgia

Ukraine

Turkey

Israel – Yay, the cute guy :D

Ireland

Cyprus – I liked them.

Azerbaijan – Nooooooo...

Romania

Armenia – The stupid song about the apricot pit, with the retard and the falling out boobs? I am MOVING.

Denmark

Cracks in our foundation...

I just wanted to share this song and vid with you. Now I am off watching European Song Contest, because I'm cool like that. The Netherlands is on tonight, and they SUCK. I will laugh at Sieneke and her ''soar throat'' That is stagefright darling, I would have that too if I had to perform a ridiculous sng dressed like a 55 year old maid. Very Susan Boyle, very hideous.

Valentine's Day

I’d say that I rather love this movie. Sure it is the same concept as Love Actually but Valentine’s Day is actually really funny. It was romantic, full packed with your favourite American stars and cool one liners. If you liked Love Actually you will like this one too. I watched it twice in two days and I never do that ^^ Especially the scenes with Taylor & Taylor were cute and made me laugh. Be aware of the clichés though.

The owner of this video has decided that the video is not able to be on any other sides, so I'm forced to do it like this: WATCH THIS NOW. Anyways, Taylor S is supposed to be the dum blonde, stereotypical American teenage girl, before you start judging her ;) These scenes are cool, but I must admit that they don't add anything to the movie. But I bet that a lot more younger people watched it because of the two T's.

Male Anchor: There you have it, folks. Young love. Full of promise, full of hope, ignorant of reality.

Willy: I don't feel comfortable taking my shirt off in public.

Yes that WAS Taylor Lautner's line ^^ This line made me laugh so much, but I guess that it was only funny to Twilighters. You do know that Taylor Lautner is basicly shirtless throughout the whole of New Moon? That his impossible musceled chest was promoted sick last year? That he took off his shirt EVERYWHERE? Well, that is the funny thing. Duhuuh.

Kara Monahan: I have my best friend, Candy.

Kelvin Moore: Oh, that's good.

Kara Monahan: Cause I can't get enough.

Someone unwilling to do homework and a great week

Last week passed in such a blur that last Tuesdays seems like much more than a week to me... Last week was the Norwegian national day, I ahd my math’s exam, two sunfilled schooldays, 4 free days in which I travelled to Lavik and back, and to Lavik in back, with a birthday party, a evening baking bread on a stick above the bonfire and a few movies crammed in between. A lot of fun, but also tiring. Right now I’m supposed to work on my growing pile of homework but instead I’m rewatching Pride and Prejudice. I will get my new cell phone any day now, and I’m looking forward to ditching my ancient Nokia. It’s a gorgeous Sony Ericsson Hazel, and I’m hoping to get it tomorrow.

I was in the local paper this week. Yeaaaah, did you hear the enthusiasm. Sure, I’d answered the questions, but they always change the language so much that it becomes ridiculous. Ow, and I wasn’t pleased with the picture. But I never considered myself photogenic, so there is no surprise.

Hm

On my own

Pretending he's beside me
All alone

I walk with him 'til morning

Without him, i feel his arms around me

And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me

In the rain

The pavement shines like silver

All the lights are misty in the river

In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight

And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know its only in my mind

That i'm talking to myself and not to him

And although I know that he is blind

Still I say that theres a way for us

I love him

But when the night is over

He is gone

The river's just a river

Without him, the world around me changes

The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him

But everyday i'm learning

All my life i've only been pretending

Without me, his world will go on turning

A world that's full of happiness that I have never known

I love him

I love him

I love him

But only on my own

You know what I need to work on? Holding grudges. I wont forget someone who has done something bad or irritating to me, but I just can't stay mad at someone even though they might deserve it. Hm.

Hammer to the head

Believe me, Natalie

 Listen Natalie

A go-go dance to disco now

Please believe me, Natalie

Listen Natalie

This is your last chance to find

A go-go dance to disco now

Hola Carola! I got a headache right now, so I'm going to sleep soon, but I thought I'd write a bit beforehand. Right now I'm side-watching the extras of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and its fun. I'm always an extra buff, I find film-making interresting. And the cast is extremely funny ^^ Emma Watson is growing on me, she actually seems nice, and not the stuck-up beyotch I imagined her to be... Tomorrow we are forced to take a hour and a half bussride to this museum, AND the worst thing is that we have to take notes on the way. yes, in the bus. While it's DRIVING. As if I'm not carsick enough. Butbut, I hope it'll be fun. And it always turns out to be.

You know the world is going down when:

 

• You hear a 6 year old saying LOL.
• You hear a 40 year old saying LOL.
• People wear Teletubby skins and call them clothes.
• Girls only fall for you if you sparkle.
• 50 % of all marriages end in divorce. All the wasted money on gifts.
• One of the most popular female artists is someone who calls herself Lady Gaga and who raises debates if she is a lord or a lady.
• People wear sheep shins on their feet shaped like ugly socks and call them shoes.
• Being pant-less is considered cool.
• We haven’t made any alien friends yet. (They WILL bomb us if we don’t start sending mini muffin baskets.)
• It is almost 2012.

 

DONE with the math hell!

Oh what a beautiful morning,

Oh what a beautiful day

Oh what a beautiful morning

Everything is going my way

Lisa Mitchell

(Except when I find out that I got a D...)

I SURVIVED. I answered everything, only guessed a few, I didn’t panic even though I forgot some fairly important sheets and I’m still in a good mood. I’m happy actually, because this means that my school year is kind over. No maths anymore anyways ;) And NO CHANCE on oral exam! Yes that’s what I say. The weather is lovely, even a bit hot, and I’m arguing with myself if I should go swimming or go cell phone-and-sunglasses shopping... Dinner first!

But, you know what, when I got at school I realized that I was dressed for a funeral. All my clothes were black. And I usually consider myself colourful, but apparently my math demons made me forget my coloured clothes that actually DO exist in my closet. Seriously all the clothes that I was wearing were black. Even (I shouldn’t say this on the internet, when I’m rich and famous it will hunt me, but, yeah, whatever) my underwear. I felt like one of those people who only dress in black because they believe it makes them look slimmer. Bull shit according to me, you should dress to your shape. Tomorrow I’m wearing my bright pink Spongebob shirt.

BTW: This old(er) lady that was sitting behind me as a ''guard'' (She didn't know a thing and looked confused the whole time, I bet I could've Facebooked without her knowing it :P) told me that she found my hair so pretty and that she wished she had such hair. I smiled and thanked her. I of course didn't tell her that I considered showering this morning because my hair was getting greasy or that I was cursing my never-listening lockes when I pinned them to my head right before I got out the door. That my secret. Shhhh.

Let me entertain you

And I´d give up forever to touch you

´Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You´re the closest to heaven that I´ll ever be

And I don´t wanna go home right now

And all I can taste in this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

And sooner or later it´s over

I just don´t wanna miss you tonight

You know those songs that you hear in movies and that you know by heart, but that you’ve never really heard fully? This is one of those songs. It is quite old, but so pretty!

So... Hi there! It has been a while. This weekend I did everything except maths, but I’m not worried. Nothing can kill me. Maybe a stress disease, but then I’ll live on in the after-life where there is no maths.

Today I saw this girl. She was pretty, even though her clothes were rather slutty and her hair ratty (Me and my compliments) But then I saw something on her face. It was above her blue-circled eyes and under her bleached hair. It was ugly and unnecessary. It were tattooed on eyebrows. You know, like this:

Or this:

Or, the horror, shield your eyes, this:

People, this is UGLY. Feel free to mess up your face anyway you want, but don’t tattoo on eyebrows unless you’ve had chemotherapy or they are burned away. Because, you know what, tattoo’s are for, like, forever. They won’t fade, you can’t scrub them away, the only way to get rid of them is to laser them away, and that hurts and is expensive. So there are NO reasons to tattoo on your eyebrows.

If that didn’t convince you look how they look when you’re old:

So ladies, for god's sake, please go to the salon, pay extra money, or even LEAVE the bushy hairy eyebrows that you have, but don't just accept this ugliness on your face. Remember these wise words, and you’ll live a happy life.

I am NOT amused

"If you think something small can't make a difference, try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room."

Waaahahaha, maths exam! On next Wednesday! I know that I state that I will die about three times a week, but this time I'm serious. The thing is, it is so unfair. I would be okay with it if everybody had a maths exam, but now only 20% of all firstgraders have exams. We're the only class in our year at our school that has it! There are two T-math classes (Advanced or something like that) and two P-math classes (The ''less'' advanced. My ass.) and MY friggin P class got picked. FU Norwegian school system! Talk about bad luck. I'm jinxed. My weekend is ruined.

Finally, my theory about Twilight, Harry Potter and teenage girls.

So, why do we girls like these Twilight books so much? This question is in the head of many guys. They don’t get it and at one time I didn’t either. Why is there all this fascination for that sparkling vampire and his ow-my-god-I’m-so-plain girlfriend? I love it, don’t get me wrong, but it can be quite stupido. The question is why? I’VE GOT THE ANSWER PEOPLE!

Okay, so first of all, why is Harry Potter so friggin popular? That is easy. It is well written, it is funny, and it is original (Maybe not everything but most of it...) and it is loved. Both girls and guys around the world can’t get enough of the magical world. It is one best sold book series in the world. There are fan fictions, parodies and spin-offs. There are coffee cups, loads of different candies and calendars. Written, made and invented by both girls and boys. But Twilight is only for girls. And we all know that is true. The reason is that Twilight is not good literature. It is not special, and not surprising. But it is a fantasy. When you read Twilight as a girl you imagine you are Bella, and you imagine that the perfect guy called Edward, who sparkles, falls head over heels for you. There is no sex pressure, your heart beats every time you see him, and he would give his life for you? Isn’t that perfect? Apart from that there is some adventure in your life, and BOOM BATS this muscular nice guy falls for you too. And hey! He’s a werewolf. You have to make a choice, poor you.

Yes, even though they won’t admit it, that IS every girls dream. At least when they’re 13-18. It is like one of those cheesy doctors roman’s, that are in every supermarket, the ones with Pablo and Jasmine on the front, he half naked, she almost fainting, with a sunset and floating cloths.

So that is why we read them guys. They are our porn. We will forget about after a while, don’t worry, but right now, I understand the hysteria. I don’t get the thing about R-Patz though.

Sports can murder!

So, has anyone noticed the f*cked up attempt to make tabs under my header? Yeah, I struggled with HTML codes, CSS images and other cryptic stuff for a while, and got to this... I will fix it, don’t worry. When, that’s another question. Anyways, it should be possible to read my interesting questionlist when you click on the Contact tab :P I’m also changing my header, but I’m not bothering this week. I SHOULD be reading for my test tomorrow, but of course I’m not. My nice post about Twilight and Harry potter will be post alter tonight.

Did you know that the teacher are putting us trough the Coopertest tomorrow again? Yeah right, it’s torture... But, instead of dying, I have to talk to the PE teacher about not participating. I’ve got back problems for a while now, and after a few talks with doctors, an X-ray shot and another talk with a specialist, I’m redirected to the physical therapist. The doctor said that it was bad for my back to run on hard surfaces, so that’s what I’m telling my teacher. We’ll see if he makes me run anyways or what I have to do. Probably something unnecessary, but painful. Us poor students.

Apart from having my heart explode tomorrow, this week is kinda cool. Just school tomorrow and on Wednesday and then we’re done. I’m heading home, because we get another visitor ^^ On Wednesday we get to know if we have to have an Exam. I don’t get the system, but I’m rolling with it, to be nice. We’ll see.

Hello!

My name is Marieke, I’m 21 years old and a student living in London. I’m studying English Language and Literature at Greenwich University. I like to read, write, bake. I laugh a lot and often very loudly. I also talk a lot and often very loudly. I love my family and friends. I have a big nail-polish collection. When I get angry I go from zero to hulk in a nano-second. I’m good at names. I tend to make inappropriate jokes, even though there’s nothing I value more than politeness. I am the opposite of photogenic. I watch loaaads of shows and am Netflix-obsessed.  I’ve been told that I am melodramatic (something I would never admit to but secretly kind of know). Aaaaaand that is all there is to know!

My blogging rule number uno:

I might officially be an English Language and Literature student at Greenwich University, but this blog is my own personal dumping ground and I just can’t be bothered with any more spellcheck than word does for me. So you are just gonna have to take me, my horrible punctuation and awkward sentences for what it is.

....?

Sleeping through the evening

singing dreams inside my head

I'm heading out

I've got some ends who say they care

and they just might

I'll run away with you

if things don't go as planned

Planning big could be a gamble

I've already rolled the dice

I spit and stutter stuff and clutter

worries in my worried corner

Maladjusted

Just untrusted

Rusted

Sometimes brilliant busted thoughts

Think I'll stay for a while

I'm intrigued and I'm

Red as a newborn, white as a corpse

Eve 6 - Promise

Don't you hate it when you write a whole text about teeenage girls, Twilight and Harry P and when you get back to your computer everything is gone, and then on a dreary Sunday evening you just feel like sleeping and eating cookies, so you decide to write your whole text again tomorrow, when your supposed to read for your test on Tuesday? I hate it.

Radio goo goo, radio bla blah

I’m getting into my Queen faze. The band got together almost 40 years ago, the lead singer genius Freddie Mercury died almost 20 years ago, but I’m just starting to listen to them.... The shame! My favourites: Radio Ga Ga (YES, that is where a certain pop star get’s her name from!) , Hammer to Fall and Crazy Little Thing Called Love ^^ They have been on repeat on my Spotify list all day.

I hear your cries: How is the headcount for the facebook group going? Well, my darlings, right now and I could not be more pleased ^^

Another thing, check these out.

Souvenirs in perspective, basically holding up one of those silly souvenirs in perspective of the real ones. Talk about cool.

Some of these might be photoshopped though...

Facebook-group FTW

I made a facebook group. And people are actually joining! That is what’s amazing to me.

So, I go to school in this city called Førde. A Norwegian city, please note, 12 000 inhabitants. And Førde is a proud city, they think they are great. I got nothing against Førde. But today this facebookgroup showed up called: (loosely translated) ‘’I don’t want to brag, but I’m from Førde’’ I laughed at the group, made fun of my classmate for joining and couldn’t care less. But then I got it in my bubble-head to create a group on facebook, and wondered what kind of group. A nice HP group? Naw. The trick is to be original, failing is embarrassing. But then I got it. ‘’ I don’t want to brag, but I’m NOT from Førde’’ I put in a NOT and made my group stating that Førde inhabitants are just A LITTLE too proud. And yes, it hit. Within three minutes I got 6 members, and it hasn’t stopped since, right now there are 431 members and the numbers grows every minute. The other, original group is FAR behind and I’m proud. I did it people :D

Now the bug has bitten me. I want to make more groups. Think, my little brains, think...

(I tried to do print screen and copy it in here, but no such luck. Google images was my saviour)

Dabbadidabbadaa

Pressure pushing down on me

Pressing down on you no man ask for

Under pressure - that burns a building down

Splits a family in two

Puts people on streets

It's the terror of knowing

What this world is about

Watching some good friends

Screaming 'Let me out'

Pray tomorrow - gets me higher

Pressure on people - people on streets

Queen – Under Pressure

My nose is stuffy. My head is heavy. My throat is raspy. Can someone help me get rid of this cold? It like someone in a Hummer drove over my brains a few times, thereafter stuffed all the openings in my face with cotton wool and topped it all off with teary eyes that make me look as if I’m allergic to cats, rabbits or plants that fly through air. I want to chop my head off, clean it and sleep, but that won’t work. Instead I’m stuck without any desire to eat or drink or be calm and watch tv. I’m forced to read Twilight and to remember how much I loved that book before Kirsten Stewart raped Bella. Maybe I should get another glass of juice to pour down my hurting throat and read another chapter about Edward, Bella and their romance... I’m blue, dabbadidabbada-ah

Pure evil = Maths

Can you believe that it is already time for another math preliminary exam? No right? Me neither, but tomorrow at half past 8 sharp, I will find out that this isn’t some nightmare I can snap out of. I will DIE. I will struggle, try, gasp for air and help, and then die. But that is tomorrow. Today I’m still alive. And I can stuff as many brownies in my mouth as possible, since it is better to be buried with a full stomach. Helps the rotting process. ;)

I ADORE the striped house! Do you think that it is legal to have those in real life? Bet I could pull it off ^^
