WHY THE HECK IS IT ALREADY THURSDAY :O

Okay, are you ready for a blogger-link-extravaganza?! YES you are! ^^ As you may have noticed, I constantly add new links to the link section on the left side. And some of those are so incredible that I have to give them some more attention.

You know how there are some people who make this world a better place? Mother Theresa, Madonna, Jesus? Well there are some people who make the world a prettier place. And one of them is Katie. I’d like here to be my new bestfriend, but since she lives in New York, and is waaay out of my league. She takes pretty pictures, buys enormous amounts of paper and seems to float through life on an orange cloud of fun. Beejeezus, where is my cloud?

When you need a little pick-me-up, you know when you’ve just gotten your Spanish test back and you realize that your Spanish teacher doesn’t appreciate your imagination (When did it become weird up your own words?), you should go to THIS site. Because some people can make ultra-cool things with Paint. And they have stories to tell. Which they tell WITH drawings.

As stated earlier, I am a celebrity lover. And if they are a part of the Glee cast is it even better. So when I saw this tumblr site on my friends Robin’s site I had to take a look. Because Diana Agron plays Quinn on Glee, and she is secretly awesome. My goal in life is to bring the awesomeness to the people and this is my first step. Smile.

I've got sociology in 3 minutes and then it is WEEKEND! Tonight we're going to the cabin, of the grandparents of a friend of mine, and I'm looking forward to it :) Is going to be fun.

If I get rich...

I was THIS close to getting through a True Blood episode without sex and then, in the last 10 minutes they all decided to start banging each other. I could honestly call it disturbing, but it is weirdly entertaining. I get the addiction, I do, but I’m more a Glee girl :P

You know what I want if I get rich? An infinity pool! They are so pretty...

And this is the infinity pool from hell, otherwise known as the Devil’s Swimming Pool. Yes, if she goes over that edge she will die a slow and watery dead. It is near the edge of the Victoria Falls and according to Wiki-dude-I-love-you an average of one person per year dies there. It is only safe during the months of September and December, which I don’t get, but I really have to get back to reading for my history test, so I can’t find out why :P



AWKWARD

Awkward situation 1

You are walking through the hallway. You are walking, walking  strutting you stuff and then you see someone you know coming to meet you. You walk. You walk. You meet their eyes. You say hi. They say nothing. Dead silent. They look down and avoid you. You are still smiling into the nothing air. You pas each other. Other people look weird at you for talking to invisible people. AWKWARD.

Awkward situation 2

You are (still) walking through the hallway. Walkity-walk. Otherwise known as dragging your 10 kg backpack back and forth through the school. Then you see someone you know. They walk up to you. You relax your face. You are going for an easy smile and eye contact. No words. Naah. Then you get to the point where you can hear them. You smile quickly and the look away. But then you hear it. A high-pitched hi. Unexpected. Panic. Heartbeat fastening. You try to save yourself, say a quick hi back, but no. Too late. They keep on walking with their head hanging low. AWKWARD.

Awkward situation 3

Yes, you are walking through the hallway again. This time you are also worrying about your new skirt, which honestly is a bit too tight. It keeps creeping up and you keep dragging it down. So you are walking, you know, placing your feet in front of each other. Then you see someone you know. But you don’t want to know. You want to ignore then, to be honest. So when you are about to pass them you look down. You look past them. You look up. You look behind you. And so do they. And then finally you have past each other. And then you feel bad. AWKWARD.

 

So yeah. At least one of these happens to me every day.

Remember Robert Pattinson?

DUDE. I went in to alter a spelling mistake, and somehow I deleted the whole thing. ?. Fu Blogger.

Well, it was about Pattinsons flick Remember me, and because it is half past 11, I'm not going to re-write it. Sorry.

-.-

Big bangs

YES for you tv freaks, this is the theme song of The Big Bang, and it is genius. The Barenaked Ladies are probably one of the coolest bands ever, with their One Week and now this song. For something completely different:

Our troubles break and drench us.

Like spray on the cleaving prow

Of some trim Gloucester schooner.

As it dips in a graceful bow ...

But why does sorrow drench us

When our fellow passes on?

He's just exchanged life's dreary dirge

For an eternal life of song.

From "Life" by Ronald Reagan, age 17

I actually think that Reagan is starting to be my favourite president. I don’t know if the bombed anything he shouldn’t have bombed but the guy is a writer. That’s just cool.

But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.

Soy un perdidor

I'm a loser baby, wo why don't you kill me?

Beck - Loser

(Which actually is a rather genius song)

There are many things I’m not. I’m not calm. I’m not good with make-up. I don’t know how plants grow, buy the correct light bulb (true story) or remember that I have food in the oven. But you know what I am? It is horrible, it is pathetic, but I’m not afraid to admit it. My name is Marieke and I am a celebrity addict.

I’m deadly serious. Okay maybe not deadly but, my friends, it is true. I check several celebrity websites a day, I LOVE reading glossy magazines and I’m scary good at facts about those people you see on tv or in the movie theatre. People ask me in what other show/movie or play they have played and I know it. I usually know who they have been together with before, where they live, if they have children... The same with tv shows. I may not have seen everything, but I sure have heard of them, looked them up or have decided that I hate them before I have seen them. What can I say, it interests me.

EXAMPLES.

I check these almost everyday:

Go Fug Yourself

Celebitchy

Perez Hilton

(Even though Perez is getting on my nerves...)

Because both Jennifer A and Barbra S rule I saved this like 3 weeks ago.

This was saved to be posted, but it ended up somewhere inbetween my saved files for school and, you know, it isn't that interesting...

And I can promise you that there are many more then I can be bothered to dig up now.

You see what I'm talking about? What normal person does that? Just saying. I'm just happy that I've managed to keep out of the Twitter rage, because I would go all stalker on some of those celebs. Poor people.

OW and btw, I managed to solve my Rubix Cube!! Can I get a woowoo?! I knew I'd figure it out :) Now I just have to pracice, practice and practice some more until I can do it in less then two minutes. I'm proud to say that I'm proud of myself.

Switch face?

That's me. I wish my nose were smaller, my smile brighter and my eyes less droopy. I wish I were that person who is happy with their school portrait.

Do you ever wish that you weren’t you? That you were someone else, someone that maybe is cuter or smarter or mouthier? I do. Regularly. It’s not that I don’t like myself, but some other people seem like so much more fun. I’ll see them on the street and I think ‘’Yeah! That is what I want to be like.’’ Then I copy them. I get their clothes, their smile, their tan and adopt their accent. We’ve all tried it. Killing you hair with hairspray until it looks just like that models, smearing goo on your face until you’re an exact twin of that movie star or pumping you muscles until the pro athlete is beaten by you. But it never works. In the end we all have to accept the fact that we are ourselves. We can get inspired, but never copy. Never steal. Never act that way just because it seems to work for other people. Just keep on breathing and being [insert name here]. And I promise you that you will find happiness somewhere.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! I'M OFICIALLY 17. LOVE.

I had the best day. I always feel like a little kid when it's my birthday, and today is no exception. J'adore being congratulated, being hugged and feeling appreciated. Christmas is fun, New Years is pure enjoyment but my birthday, my birthday is something that is better, brighter and lovelier.

I still have a little more then an hour left and you know what, I'm still enjoying it ^^

Cry me a river

I REALLY don’t like my horoscope for this week. Here, you read my lousy translation.

There is the possibility that you will hurt yourself, pretty hard this week. Watch you elbows, knees and shoulders. One of the household machines will also break, and that mean that he won’t work right for a while. Even though it is a machine and therefore doesn’t work the way a human does, the best thing is to leave it alone and try again next week. It will, very strange, work again. But not for long.

You will also drop something and that is for the best, because broken pieces will bring the Virgin happiness and you will need it at the end of the week. And not even a little bit.

NICE huh? It basically says I will have a crappy week, with bruises, broken things and machines that don’t work. Yay me.

Ow and one of my roommates has got mono, so me and my other roommate are pretty scared that we’ve got it to. She is already kind of sick, and I’m not all healthy either. I hope I haven’t got it, because you can be sick for like 4 weeks or so, and in that case I will bore myself to death. Now I am going to brush my teeth, read, sleep and then decide if I want to walk up that damn mountain all the Norwegians want to walk up. Life is hard as a 16 year old. Luckily I will be 17 on Wednesday. That’s 2 nights baby! TWO NIGHTS!

I guess I ahve a new favorite artist

This is my face

 covered in freckles

 with an occasional spot and some veins

And I use mouthwash

Sometimes I floss

I got a family

And I drink lots of tea

This is my face,

I’ve got a thousand opinions

and not the time to explain

And this is my body, and no matter how you try and disable it,

I’ll still be here

And, this, is my mind,

and although you try to infringe you cannot confine

And, this, is my brain,

and even if you try and hold me back

there’s nothing

that you can gain

A smurf cake

Today: I baked a cake. A pretty blue one with white flowers and apricot filling and the best cake-cake recipe ever. I spend like hours and, let me tell you, it wasn’t easy :P It was my first marzipan ’’lid’’ so I kind of panicked figuring that out. The fondant flowers were easy, because of my ultra-cool cut-outs, but, being the perfectionist as I am, I kept un-agreeing with myself about the decorations. But I ended up with pretty white flowers in an easy pattern over the cake. The cake even ended up delicious! Moist, as it was supposed to be, and sweet and filling but nice. Here goes my recipe, as I did it today. Remember that there are a thousand ways to make this your own, so just have the guts to be creative and try out recipes.

YES the first recipe is in US measurements, and I’m just too damn lazy to Google the correct ones right now. Do it yourself.

1 cup of butter (room temperature)

2 cups of sugar

4 eggs (room temperature)

3 cups of sifted self-rising flour (I just measured the flour and threw in some baking powder, you know, went with my feelings xD Prof baker.)

1 cup of whole milk (room temperature)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 175oC

Grease and flour 1 cake pan.

Using a mixer, cream butter until fluffy.

Add sugar and continue to cream for about 4 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time. Beat well after each egg is added.

Add flour and milk, beginning and ending with flour.

Add vanilla to the mix; until just mixed.

Put the mix in the cake pan.

Hold the pan about 5 cm above your counter and carefully drop it flat onto counter several times to ensure release of any air bubbles. This will help you have a more level cake.

Bake for 25 – 30 minutes (depending on your oven) until done.

Cool in pan for 5 – 10 minutes.

Remove and immediately wrap it in plastic wrap to seal in moisture. Cool completely on wire racks

(This took like forever and I got bored, so I took it out and cut it in half, you know, horizontally.)

THEN I filled it with this mixture and spread it all over the cake to.

4 plates of gelatine

1 dl sugar

2 dl whipped cream

2 eggs

1-2 dl jam, I used apricot

Put the gelatine in cold water for 10 minutes and let it soak. Squeeze out the water and let it dissolve in some spoons of boiled water. Mix the egg and the sugar together and mix in the dissolved gelatine and the whipped-whipped cream. Have the jam in in the end. Leave it in the fridge until it is just ’’set’’.

Then I put the cake in the, coloured some of that awesome marzipan blue and rolled it nice and thin. TIP: If you have a wooden rolling pin, you should cover it in plastic foil so the marzipan doesn’t stick. You should also roll it out on baking parchment, and use normal flour, not icing sugar! Then it get too sugary and it doesn’t stick as good :P

Put on the lid; try not to scream too much if you succeed and not to swear too much if it doesn’t work.

Then decorate it all you want! I used normal white fondant and made the cute little flowers.

I should SO do a cookbook.
