New Obsessions!!!

Hi and sorry for the absence. I didn't do it intentionally. Promise!

Lately I just haven't been feeling up to doing anything. The last month, december, just went by like that. School was kinda stressfull, and I had to work a lot more than I normally do.

Saturday was a long day, with work from 11 am til 7 pm, originally. Because my grandfather was going to celebrate his 70th birthday, I was allowed to leave at 6.15. Then it was to hurry home and get ready. We arrived, enjoyed(weeeeell...) a welcome drink which was way strong, and sat down for dinner. And what a dinner. It was lamb, grey goose and wild boar. The desserts were numerous, and also tasty. Luckily for my I had a great wine nearby, and nice people willing to get me to drink as much as I could. Around 11 I left for Bryne, Red Light and a triple 18th birthday. Once there I met up with Rebecca, who I hadn't seen since the summer. We had a blast, and around 1 am we left for the nachspiel. The nachspiel was held at Hansi's and we continued drinking there. Around 3 am we got tired, and decided to spend the night. At 7 am I was awoken by my mother calling the hear where I was.

Christmas was a great day, starting with me watching "three nuts for cinderella", which I do every christmas. After that I relaxed, untill it was time to go. We spend it at my grand-parents this year. We ate sheep and turkey, and for dessert there was "ricecream", which is rice porridge with cream. This year I got the almond, and the prize was a bag of chocolate. For christmas I got books, mainly Animorphs books, Buffy season 8 graphic novels, "Back to the Future" the trilogy, Coldplay's Living la Vida, and The September When's Judas Kiss.
Christmas is a great holiday, and I always look forward to it. But there is one thing that annoy me when we celebrate with my grandparents on my fathers side. It always makes me feel so poor. Okay, I get that one of my uncle's is way rich, and that the other has money too, but still. Giving your son a top quality laptop and a jacket worth about 500 dollars?

"Firts christmas-day", as we call it, was spend with my mother's side of the family. We had dinner and just spent it together. It was okay, boring, but okay. But of course they had to go and make my really feel remembered.
We had a present-swapping game, and I said that I was going upstairs. Yeah, that was fine thay said. A little later I came down to get something to drink, and everything was fine. I went upstairs and began thinking that it was kinda wierd that we hadn't had dessert yet. After that guests had left I came down to watch some television. I got up to look in the fridge, and lo and behold! what do I see? Dessert. I asked my mom when they had had dessert and she was like : "Earlier. You had too." I said that nobody had told me about the dessert. She said that is had been right after the swapping game, and I told her that nobofy had told me. She just went "Ohh, then we must have forgotten you." Yeah, mom, way to go and make me feel special. Nobody, in the whole freaking family, asked themselves why I wasn't there to eat dessert?


Sorry for the meltdown/rant, I just wanted to vent. Calming down now. What else...Ohh, yes!
Tonight my friend Jane and I went to the cinema. We saw Max Manus. It was fabulous. It is probably the best norwegian film I have ever seen. Everybody should see it.

Other than that, I've gotten some new obsessions. At my lj I'm posting my sims legacy, and though I haven't gotten far, it is quite entertaining.
Thanks to the facebook application "tetris friends" I've gotten addicted to tetris. I want to beat my friends at tetris sprint (I'm now no.1 with 2.24) and tetris ultra.
I was reading fandomsecrets one day, when I read a secret about some guys reading the animorphs books. I found the group on facebook, joined it and started downloading their shows. And it rocks! I love listening to those guys! I recommend it to everybody. Check them out on facebook, Animorphs the radio drama.

Hugs,
