Romance

Arm in arm, dusk to dawn, with the curtains closed and a little last night on these sheets 

I'm usually not a big fan of romance, or even love. I hate those huge gestures, romantic movie style. I'll watch one romantic movie each year, just to remind myself why I hate it. I get easily bored, and can't stand being tied down to someone who doesn't want fun, travel or party in their life. Looking back - how the hell did I get through three years with someone so different from me? 

I'm in love with falling in love. It's so easy, and so hard at the same time. It means letting your guard down. To let someone get to know you, in all aspects of life. Everything from the grumpy cat in the morning, to housewife that appears every once in a while. And everything in between. 

When I'm in a relationship, or busy falling in love, I still hate the Hollywood kind of romance. The 50 roses and champagne, while having sex (or making love) next to a fireplace.
puke. 

I'm a sucker for the everyday kind of romance. Romance in a getting the other person a cup of coffee in the morning. Getting a kiss when you leave for work. The spontaneous kind of romance.

That's the kind of romance that I want in life. The kind that makes a relationship last. 

I realize that this post makes half of you want to throw up... It even makes me want to puke a tiny bit.

But this is what's on my mind right now, and facebook won't let me add gif's!

Home

I spent the weekend in Bodø with friends and family, and it was just as amazing as last time. 

This feeling of home is something I've lost at Lillehammer. And it makes me sad, because I have friends, school, work and everything else down here. 

As you might have figured out by now I have a huge urge to travel, and experience new things. This urge makes it even harder for me to not have the feeling of home in the city I live in. It makes me relax and not stress as much as I usually do. It makes me realize what Bodø has to offer.

The good thing is that it makes me even more sure that I have to move back. I have to find a way to get back home. 

The viking in me needs to go home. 

Happy Valentine's day

Life

Starting to realize that my blog revolves around school, work, food and sleep. 

Well, that's my life in a nutshell.  

This sums it up

So guess what I did today. That's right, I ate, went to school, ate, went to work, ate and now I'm contemplating wheter or not this is a good time to go to bed. 

I need to get a more interesting life... Maybe next week. 

School and other fun things to do.

Hi there!

Just got really bored at school, and while I'm taking a break I figured I'd tell you how much fun it is to listen/observe people. Spending my day at the library, and there's really all types of people here. There's one guy who's been here for over an hour, and has done nothing but eat since he got here. Two guys reading their own paper and looking quite confused. Three girls having a big discussion about pineapples, and a couple of people giving them the mean eye! I should spend more time in here. 

And me? 

I'm reading about politics. Power and foreign policy to be more precise. Quite interesting, but I'm soooo tired! 

My first exam is in a month, so I better get done with at least half of it this week. No way in hell, but a girl can try. 

Oh well... at least I'm going to the gym later, and having a really healthy dinner. 

Wanderlust pt. 2

So I read this amazing blogpost about a week ago, called don't date a girl who travels. It made all my wishes for travel come back, and it also made me realize that I'm far from ready to settle down just yet. There's so many places to see, people to meet and things to do! 

As I've said before - there are countries I want to see before I get a house, kids and all that normal stuff.. But there's also so many things I want to do! Until 2012 I wanted to go skydiving and bungyjumping. I did both in one day (can't say I would recomend that, you won't get any sleep after that). I also wanted to travel all by myself, and I did. I still want to go somewhere and just be my own company, and make friends from across the world, but I also want to bring some of my best friends across the world and let them see all the wonders with me. 

And don't get me wrong, I love my friends to the end of the world, but some of them are not cut out for travel. One friend said to me - "I really want to go to "syden" (anywhere with sun and a beach), to see some cultural stuff". And I'm looking at her, thinking to myself - no, you want to get a tan. I want to go to Brazil and see the carnival, or to go back to Australia to dive with great whites. Anything that will get my adrenalin pumping, that will drive me a tiny bit craycray, or anywhere that I can learn something. 

And this is why that blogpost hit me. 

I'll always want to see more, never want to settle down, and I'll always be selfish when it comes to travel and adventure.

"So never date a girl who travels unless you can keep up with her. And if you unintentionally fall in love with one, don't you dare keep her. Let her go."

How bad do you want it?

I got through the entire game. And when it was all done, I fell asleep faster than you can say fast. 

But anyways.. Today is Monday! It's a new week, new possibilites and new goals. Thought I'd share something with you. It's a video/speech that I listen to every single morning. I'll listen to it while I'm doing my make-up, sitting on the buss or walking to the gym. It keeps me motivated. There's so many of these kinds of video on youtube, and this one is the only one that's really hit me. I even have it on my phone!

To me, success isn't getting a high-paid job, going to the gym 6 times a week or keeping my home perfect at all times. If I manage to cross off everything I plan on doing during one day, that one day has brought me one step closer to being successful. 

Hope the video makes your Monday a tad bit better, and that it makes some of you more motivated to get stuff done!
