Ég þori, get og vil!

Yesterday I was surprisingly pleased to be a witness of "all" the women in Akureyri coming together and protesting for womens rights. Yesterday had 30 years past from when women in Iceland walked out of their workplaces at 14:08 and met together to protest the wage difference between the sexes. The women of Akureyri all met in Sjallinn, which was so full that people had to stand outside and listen to the speaches that were taking place inside. Women came together and listened to their history, a history that has changed some, but not enough. While there is still a difference of how much two individuals who have the same exact education but different wage is going on, we really need to reconsider out outlook on life. Do we as women think of ourselves as being less? Do we feel that it is fair that a man, who does not have the same education as you, will move up faster and in the workplace? This is crooked to me, and should be to all people. Women have been fighting for their rights for many years, and we should not take for granted what they have accomplished... so if you are being discriminated because of your gender, make some noise and sue the bastards :)

A little of my "Life´s ThEoRy..."

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

These words, coming from the magical wonders of the screen, should be admired and followed. Why is it that in our day in age, we forget what it is that we are living for? We are always thinking about what we could have done better, how we wish we could go back and change it, what we would have done different. Can you imagine all the time that gets wasted on thoughts that irreversable? Why do we linger on these things?
To live is smile, cry, laugh, love, pick yourself up after plummiting off a cliff of disappointment. Though not always easy, we manage to keep going and look for the next thing to come. Those that do not, those that regret and sulk about what has happened in their lives, are not living at all. We may dream of things from our past, dream of things that would make our lives "easier", but one must not get caught in a dream that stops you from living and enjoying every minute of your life.
Dreams are great, keep us motivated and striving to be more than what we are... but to live...

"IT DOES NOT DO TO DWELL ON DREAMS AND FORGET TO LIVE." -Dumbledore

Richmond is for Lovers

Yes yes yes, i'm still alive here... no worries. I've spent the last two evenings in Richmond. On Thursday I went to meet up with the girls at Gabes house... saw the Richmonders there. Always a pleasure. We went to eat at this Italian place which was pretty good. Leah took bloody forever to decide what she wanted, ended up with rock paper scissors. She also told us how very smart she was and that her vocabulary is very advanced. She even gets a word of the day sent to her BOTH from Webster.com and some other dictionary... forget. How fun it must be to be an English major. :) Anna also enlightened us how her freezer and fridge situation did totally not work out this week. Drama in the house. All the roomates went shopping at the same time, and there was just mountains and mountains of food in the freezer and you couldn't find anything!!! Lifestyle of the rich and the famous. JUST KIDDING! We all came to the conclusion that we are grocerie snobs and don't like foodlion brands. eh... it happens. :)
Last night I went to Richmond with my brother and his friends. We stayed at Cliff-dawgs! We hung out at his place for a while, went to the basement to jamm a little, until I picked up the guitar and everyone left... hmm? Is it a sign?? After being so rudely left alone in the basement... we went to a VCU party. It was pretty lame... guess i'm not used to the jist of college parties here yet. I thought they were growing on me this summer... but I guess it's different if you don't know anyone ;) possibility? yea. It was kinda funny though cuz Danny and Claire and Hugh were all freestylin and people kept coming up to them trying to take them on, but they were NOTHING compared to them! TAHAH!
So I head home tomorrow... a bit excited to see some people in Akureyri! I already spent today shopping for basically everyone BUT myself. How lame. No, but i do it for the peeps that i luv!
Well, maybe I'll write later, maybe I won't.
ciao,

day # 1 in USA

Righty-ó...
So, I´m safe and sound in my parents home after a long trip to the USofA! Lovely, absolutely lovely to be back. Today we woke up at 5.30 in the morning to get ready to go to the immigration office, SO EARLY! We were there, till about 10.30 or so. Long day, especially if you have a little brother, who´s not so little anymore, but has the blabbering mouth of a 5 year old... and another brother who laughs at all he says, and me, the sister, who loves to play stupid little games while waiting and LAUGHING her ass off. Yea, our parents decided to sit somewhere else. ;) But... they people were nice there... started say things like... "how you doing girl?" "what a nice picture girl!" and "what numba was ya mamma girl?". haha. fun times.
Then my mum and I went to get something to eat, some lunch, and we chatted and laughed and had a ball...! SO good to be home for a little bit!
My dogs are doing super... always have to say something about them... my babies! Sable has lost weight and Týra is still as cute as ever... in case anyone cares :)
UGH, i´m so pissed! I took pictures of the Sprellmót... BUT most of my pictures are out of focus!!! DAMN! stupid camera stupid camera.... (notice how i blame the camera, not the photographer... clever)
LEAH, I´LL CALL YOU IN A LITTLE BIT! ;)

loves yas!

Sprellmótið on Friday was a blast! KUMPÁNI got second place... I kicked ass in the beer-bong competition... i thank Leifur for my SkIlLs! Those many summer nights when we would be seeing if little Hildur could actually do more than 5.... hmmm?!?

I just watched Jeepers Creepers 2 tonight. I don´t understand why someone would make a shitty sequal. It wasn´t THAT bad, but it was just terrible how almost the entire movie was set on a school bus, and the entire story took place in one night. hmm? I don´t know, I thought it would be better...
OH WELL.... :)
I´M SO EXCITED!!!!

And the ex´s finally meet again

So, the warm-up for Sprellmótið was this Friday. A lot of people came: very good! The town was full of university students since both the social science and legal department, and the faculty of health sciences were both doing something to warm up for the Sprellmót. The red head found her long lost friend who has been cooped up in Drekagil with a cold... and gave her some gold fizzing elixer... aka beer. Always a pleasure. So, the ex-roommates finally hung out downtown... after a summer of silence ;)
