ANNA, get well soon!!!! :o*
love ya girl!

Is it all SO NECESSARY?!?

For those who know, I am a member of AOL. For those who don't know, AOL mean American Online, similar to hotmail or yahoo. When I logmyself onto my aol page, I am always confronted with news headlines that are so obviously written to get the public's attention... President Bush ready for fatal virus, American under threat, More bombs in Iraq, 15 Soldiers Killed, Moving up from code Orange to code RED... I think you get my flow. Anyways, I know most people have seen farenheit 911, and this is going to sound a little in the same direction, but why all the threats, stress and fear in the news? It's like I can't even log onto aol to read my mail WITHOUT being bombarded with news headlines basically telling me, or scaring me into thinking how I'm going to die. What a pleasant pleasant thought. hmm... don't you agree? Fear has always been used as a persuasive tactic though, which is natural if you want to get the attention of the public, BUT EVERY DAMN NEWS HEADLINE has an aim of scaring it's readers. Now people all over the US are going to be scared and panicked over the bird flu that has not reached them yet. Hey, Mr. Bush, what about all the homeless people living on the streets that that $7.1 billion dollars could go into helping? What about the thousands of HIV positive children that are suffering because there is no money to pay for their medication? What about the environment... the environment that probably has the answer to our illnesses, but we don't hear those answers because we're too busy KILLING it?!?
I do not disagree that a deadly flu would be, well, deadly. It is said to be on the top of things that could hurt us. But, is all the fear, threat, and taunting really necessary? Is it all so necessary?

The school´s Halloween Party was on Friday, and it was a blast! The planning, decorating and partying was superb! I was in 1st place in the costume contest... haha wonder why??

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.

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! ;)

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´m going to Reykjavík tomorrow.... Stína... here I come! I´ll be staying with "my sistah" Friðdóra, and man are we gonna celebrate my passing Íslensk Réttarsaga. Good times good times.
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 ;)

- "And what do you think of the Icelandic boys?"
- "They´re frozen."

This question was directed to an exchange student here at HA on the trip on Saturday. Frozen. Hmm, what... when you kiss them it´s like you stick your tounge on a frosted pole, you get stuck and impossible to get away unless you rip yourself off? Interesting.
Wouldn´t that suck though if you were kissing a guy, need to gasp for some air and... woop... you´re stuck! You can´t get off him. What a conniving trick! So, when someone says you´re cold as ice, that really means that they just can´t get enough of you... The world is so much clearer now!

What single word can a girl say to get a guy to think about sex in a milisecond?
- "Hello."
Not much more needed than that.

What a great world we live in :)

Ice-Queen

snow, moss and a little comedy

aight... the trip to the country was fly... christmas snow and all... hljóðklettar was gorgeous! Pictures will come in later... nature+ beer+ hotdogs+ guitar= ONE HELL OF A TIME.
So yea, it's still snowing here... it's been snowing nonstop for what feels like A WEEK! Kræstnes! Very very rómó though...
I still haven´t heard anything about my hot-diggity test... pff, surprise surprise... (probably didn´t pass)
Kate Moss appologized to her family for her whole coke abuse thing... and who said it´s so good to be famous? I would never want to be famous. My little life is all I need. I don´t need people snooping around me trying to get some fake information out of me and publishing all the bullshit I say. What good lives we all live. Some people on the other hand think it´s AWESOME to be famous or know someone of that class. Those are the type of people that would sleep with a star... just because they´re famous. Colin Farrell anyone? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! wicked wicked wicked. ;)

2. I believe the lyrics in the Beatles tell us all there is to know about life.
3. I get pissed off when people drive by me when I'm walking to the same destination as them in the snow.
4. I'm not embarrassed by how little I can play the guitar, actually... I think it's a damn good amount.
5. I secretly watch Bold and the Beautiful even if it is "RUGLAÐ"... alone...

--- musical weekend ---

I love postcards! Leah has already sent me 2 postcards! All from the beautiful island of Jamestown, Virginia. People don't take the time anymore and send postcards... so when you finally get one, it's like the first time you ever got an email! Wonderful.
Anyways, I saw Bubbi on Thursday. WONDERFUL! He is such a great musician. I wish more people were musicians. It's like people can communicate so much better through songs, whether it's through the text, the force of the song, or the melody, people can express such different emotions. Writing songs and poems for example often seems to be a kind of therapy for people. Bubbi has definitely used his music to get away from his crazy life. I went with Sólveig, she teared up a couple of times ;) It was beautiful.
Stuðmenn were playing on Friday. That was a free-be because domus I think it was, opened their offices that day here in Akureyri. It was a blast... a lot of uni-people there. I mean, come on, IT WAS FREE! Good times.

I have to study now, a busy weekend equals HEAVY studying.

This was the aftermath of CHRIS GOODE and co.

Yes, as we can see... the "hryggur" that my father brought from the Klake... did not get the correct treatment that it should have gotten. BBQ sauce all over the place. Yummy :os

RIGHT THERE BABY!

Comparative Constitutional Law

All right... so class with the Faroe Islands guy has started. Who knows where the Faroe Islands are?

TOMORROW IS THE DAY!!!

DA DA DA DA DA... DOOMSDAY TOMORROW!!!! Man oh man am I nervous! The test that I have been dreading all summer is finally going to take place tomorrow, Monday the 12. of September at 13:00 Icelandic time. EEKS! Wish me luck.
and P.S. if it doesn't work out... then I'm going to become a nowhere man, sitting in my nowhere land, making all my nowhere plans for nobody.

and the nEiGhBouR gets angry

Why is it that the United States, the country that holds the worlds millionairs, NO billionairs, was unable to help a massive area from devistation when in need? I talked to my mum today and she was telling me how this one man from California filled up his airplane with water and supplies, and took it to New Orleans, taking some families with children back with him to CA. Where are the rest of those types of people. I know he´s not the only one who has a private jet in the US of A. I know it´s maybe wrong of me to put the pressure on American´s, but it is the duty of those who have more (this is at least my opinion) to give more. Especially in a time of need... people need help there and the weight is only shifted onto the military? Whatever happened to brotherly love, oh stupid me... we´re not talking of Philadelphia.
No but seriously, do people care about their neighbours like they tell ya in Bible Class?
AND WHERE THE HELL WAS BUSH?!?!?!?

Now that is the question of the century, where the fuck was that red neck?

A response to Leah´s comment ;)

HEHE, yea they call that a millipede... i do believe so yes. Here in Iceland we do not have that problem because it´s so fucking cold here ALREADY!! Yes, believe it or not, but the mountains already have snow on them and it´s chilly chilly chilly. Not good stuff. But hey, no damn bugs, that´s for sure... except for Fred, he´s my pet fly that I keep stuffed on my windowsill. Well, actually it´s not stuffed, just dead. But, he keeps me company when I´m studying, doesn´t make any noise except when I blow at him and the wind coming out of my mouth makes his wings rustle a little bit. Then when I get lonely, I pretend he´s Leah or Anna, and I talk talk talk talk talk. Yeps, no more calls to the US of A... just little talks with my pet fly. Gotta love it.

France... the home of wine

So in France, local farmers are standing on the side of the road handing out red wine in a little baggie with a pamphlet to those who drive by... and I ask myself... WHY OH WHY DON'T I LIVE IN FRANCE?!?! What a wonderful land they live in. Scenario, driving home from work, had a crummy day, can't wait to see your special someone (or your pet, if you are single), and BAM a local farmer from a vineyard on the other side of town gives you a bottle of red wine! Red red wine.... gets to my he-ea-ead. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
The reason these local farmers were giving away wine was because the French are buying more foreign wine, and less French wine. So, how do they promote their wine??? THEY GIVE IT AWAY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE PEOPLE DRIVING BY. Genius.
Orientation week went well here at the University of Akureyri. We grilled on Monday, had department night and sing star on Tuesday, Movie night (Dukes of Hazard) on Wednesday, relaxation on Thursday, and on Friday we went out to Kjarnarskó and ran around and grilled, then went to Sjallin where Drekktu Betur, a question competition which includes a little bit of drinking, don't let the name fool you, took place. All in all it all turned out perfect :)
All right, well I have to get to studying, ciao!

Chicken Soup for the Chris

So, today i spent the entire day basically packing. I'm starting to get a little excited about going home. I took a little break in my day, drove my mum to work and took Chris some Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, since he just got his tonsels taken out... aww! Poor kid. Then the Leah-ster is getting 1, yes 1, singular, wisdom tooth out, and she's flipping shit. Poor Gal!!!

Turning Chinese, I think I´m turning Chinese...

All right, BACK FROM NYC! Oh my God, what a place to be. I seriously can see myself living there. Not just anywhere though, but in China Town. I don´t think we saw more than 5 white people when we were there... it was like being in a completely different country but still in the same country! Totally awesome. But we went to Times Square, 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Center, China Town and walked around and watched people ;) hehe my favourite thing to do! It´s so funny to be there though, because your such a tourist and don´t know anything... don´t know where you´re going, unnecessarily run through massive rain drops cuz your father was yelling "TRAIN" when, for the twentieth time, it clearly wasn´t your train ;) HEHE I tell ya´ll, some funny ass shit happened on that trip. We got lost in the wooden paths of Central Park (not everyone can say that), we went to a Irish Pub where the occupancy was a total of 5 when we got there (it´s all right cuz we just threw some money into the jukebox and had one hell of a time), and we managed to spend AN INSANE amount of money on food, which my dad so greatly and fabulously picked out!!!! ;) Man oh man, it was lovely. London and China Town are the next living stops for Hildur.

Hmm... I was going to write about something so interesting and intelligent, but clearly nothing is coming to mind. I could nag a little bit more, but I sincerely don't feel like it, so i'm going to stop. Maybe I'll write some more later today, maybe not. We'll see. All right, ciao!

Last ALEX-day!!! :(

Alex leaves tomorrow!!! AHHHH what am i gonna do without my merndawg... damn. So, I think i´m gonna go with my mum to Norfolk for a little bit today, then i have to hang out with "look who it is!!!". So last night mum gave me a massage... hell yea! I think she stretched me out to make me at least 5 cm. taller. Most definatly. Starbuck´s was also a place to hang out last night, with my chia and Anna, Leah and Henry to talk to, what could be better? EXCEPT THE FACT THAT WE LISTENED TO A LITTLE MICHAEL BOLTON WHILE WE WERE SITTING THERE.... I NIGHT TO LOVE!!! ;) Yea, I don´t think the other cool cats were liking it as much as me. Then we went to a friends house to hang out, a house full of junk... but still "organized" junk, so we weren´t allowed to play with the many straw hats and giant scissors. Some peeps managed to do it anyways :) (Anna and Alex). Crazyness.

So these days I´m just studying and trying to get everything done before I have to go back to the land of Ice. This weekend my mum and I are going to go to NYC! That´ll most definately be a blast!

Darren, the maker of "DARREN KITCHEN" just launched his computer television show tonight, the thing was a complete hit! I think maybe about 70,000 + viewers... that's pretty damn good for a debute show. I'm going to Norfolk tomorrow for a housewarming, but not housewarming party. Gonna get crunked! Oh no, the elephants have started flying again... gotta get some shut eye... adios!

I am spartacus

boy oh boy oh boy... this summer just keeps on going... it's already the middle of July!!! Holy moly! Last night my peeps and I went to this kids Darren's house, where we played a game for like 3 hours. It's a pretty cool game, it's called "six", you can check it out on his homepage... www.darrenkitchen.net
Then we started rhyming some shit... pretty entertaining, didn't come home til 5. Maddness.
The life in the spa is literally trying to kill me. I swear, those towels are starting to talk to me, complaining that they aren't folded good enough, the shower caps just don't want to go into the damn lockers, and the slippers are trying to bite me. Never a good sign, eh? Coaching is always fun though, that's what keeps me going. I had a life moving realization yesterday though... here it comes... da da da... WORK IS SO MUCH BETTER IF YOU'RE NOT TIRED.!!! The genious said it, yes she did! :) Today is hot as shit. I took the dogs out and i literally almost fell into a puddle of my own sweat that was forming in front of me. NASTY. ;) hehe. Aight my klakes, you know i LUV YA... my noregs... you know i LUV YA...

Theme Party and I´m Miss Yeller!

Takk fyrir pakkann Vala! I just got a birthday present today from my friend Vala.... muah! kiss kiss kiss! So, Williamsburg is still good... I coach every weekday morning, and then i usually work at the spa from 3-10 during the night... unless there is a swim meet. Um, it's all right... I guess I can just say that it's a job. The other night I had the "coaches" over for a grill evening, and then some of my friends came over, and the pictures from that are fuckin hallarious! I'll put them sometime on the internet if I get permission from Chelsea, who is in a lot of them. Chelsea is a girl I work with, goes to William and Mary... crazy girl!!! :) It's her birthday today... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELSEA! She's having party tonight, a theme party where the theme is colors. Everyone is to be a color.... I'm gonna be yeller, Ashley red... we even bought little kids patio chairs to take along with us... INSANE. It'll be a crazy time. Will indeed take some pictures.

Righty-o...
So, i've started my second job, today will be my third day... i am a spa attendant at the Kingsmill Spa. I fold a lot of towels, show some wealthy people the lockerrooms and kiss ass :) I love it! Coaching is going well, everything is coming along. Mum flew to Austria yesterday... i hope she has ONE HELL OF A TIME THERE!!! So exciting.
So, last night a couple of us went over to our friend Harrison's house. We sat there, reminisced about middle school... fun for those of us who went to Berkeley... anywho... We decided that we were all going to go swimming, most everybody had trunks on, or some sort of undergarnment that could be used as a suit. I had just come from work, did not have a suit or appropriet undergarnment, and therefore sat on the pooldeck... until Justin and Harrison said they would dive in naked and swim 1 lap if I got in... so... i did a backflip into the pool, in my work clothes, and they then dove into the pool in their birthday suits... quite funny. So, that was the highlight of my day yesterday... since I worked from 3 till 10. I was exhausted afterwards.
The weather here is lovely, too hot though.... wish i was at the beach, maybe this week.
Righty-o i'm gonna go lay out,

The Story of One Fish

All right... so back in the USA, have been for about two weeks, and no blog. Sorry about that... won't happen again. So, my current status is as follows, jobless, i'm a red head now, LOVE being at home, all coffeed up from Aroma's coffee and just hanging with my Williamsburg crew. For those who saw me in Iceland when I had just got my hair done, it has faded a lot. It's not as bright red as it was before (still red though, and lookin good)! My job hunt isn't going too well, the job people need to START CALLING ME! ugh!
So, last Friday I went to Richmond with a couple of kids, and I just have to tell this HALLARIOUS story. These two guys were arguing about some shit and they got to fighting. The fighting kept going on, until one of the guys realized that the other had brought his Chinese Fighting Fish into the house. So, this guy (who did not own the fish) takes the jar that the fish was in, runs down the street with it, AND EATS THE DAMN FISH! HE SWALLOWS IT WHOLE! THE DUDE'S FISH THAT HAD BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR 6 MONTHS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Damn, it is hallarious! The EX-owner of the fish wasn't too happy though, it was a part of his family member you know... i mean come on. :) (Ég er að segja ykkur það, hann var alveg brjálaður og bað gaurinn að kaupa annan gullfisk handa honum. Hann var alveg brjálaður! ótrúlega ótrúlega ótrúlega fyndið!!!)
All right, i'm going to go try to find a job... i tell ya, it's gonna be Hooters... haha!
BIÐ AÐ HEILSA ÖLLUM Á KLAKANUM!

I´m going home today... yippee! This day is finally here, unbelievable... so the next time you will read a post from me, I´ll be in the USssssssssss,,,,, no, not the USSR, the USA! It has been great being in RVK though, Stína, Kris, Kólbeinn and I played taboo and bolderdash last night, UnBeLIevaBLy fun! Who would have thought that with all this technology, board games would be on the top of the list of FUN things to do.
Well, I have to go jet, I´m gonna try to meet up with Stína before I leave... AWWW! tár tár tár.

Tuesday loves me...

Tuesday. What happens on Tuesdays...? Garfield didn´t like Mondays, 'just another manic Monday',
'Wednesday´s Child' that Emiliana Torrini sings so well
Desperate Houswifes are on Thursdays (who can forget that)
Freaky Friday, Thank God it´s Friday, TGIF, Friday football
One Saturday Morning, Date Night
Sunday- Church day!
Tuesday is the only day in the week left to make up the day for itself. It´s not given a serious name, it doesn´t have any pressure... it just does what it wants. That´s the beauty of it! SPLENDID!
So, the play that I saw on Thursday was about Nietsche. It was really interesting and made one think a lot. On Friday I got my hair done... I cannot tell you guys how it looks yet, not until I show my mom!!! She´ll flip! Then I went and had PIZZA at fabulous-e Stína´s house, always lovely. Later I met Krazy-K at Prikið, hung out for a lil. Yesterday Stína and I hung out for-almost-ever! It was grand! Then I met up with Vala, we went to París ;) and then trollied over the street to Brennslan! So Fun FUN FUN! Today I´m kinda hanging out... want to go do something... Friðdóra is HELLO GREAT!!!!
I swear, I am so greatful for her... really makes me feel at home... (watch me actually be a pain in the ass ;op) just kidding... MUAH!
Well, I am gonna hop in the shower and see where the city leads me... I GO "HOME" TOMORROW!!!! FINALLY!!!

The City Slickers of Reykjavík

Ó borg mín borg...
Reykjavík is the place to be at the moment! I got here around four... that´s when the plane flew in. The trip went well, the kid sitting next to me and I were playing hangman and making time fly! LITERALLY! But, since it´s only an hour flight, time didn´t matter too much. Olly, a friend of mine, was on the same flight. Talk talk talk about the exam and essay... we will never escape the sphere of the university.
Olly and I are going to go to the theater tonight, i´m not quite sure what we are about to see, but it has something to do with philosophy and Hitler´s inspiration. I hope it will be fun, if not... then at least it´s in all of good company. :) Magga Stína is also in RVK, i´m gonna have to meet up with her lata on too.
It was wierd leaving the appartment, since it looked different because of the things moved out and in... the feeling was wierd.
The city and I have a date tonight, so I will keep ya´ll posted how it goes ;)
bis dann...

Summer Vacation!!!

So, now all there's left to do is drink coffee... Yes, that's what I have been doing to relax, ride my bike to Cafe Karólína and just sit and drink coffee. Always a good way to relax. On Friday the legal department went out into the country and hung out there. It was quite splendid, games included running around with a chicken and egg, chickens shiting all over the place and eggs kept between breasts. Genious! Then we played guitar and sang, some louder than others, but all in all a perfect evening. People smelled bad (after having been in the barn- fjósinu), were crazy drunk and loud. I don´t believe it could have gotten any better... the future lawyers of Iceland. :) Taha! My excitement to go home keeps increasing and increasing... i´m about to burst!!! No longer am I a spinning top, now i´m just relaxed and feeling good. I just want to wish my classmates a GREAT SUMMER and hope they all enjoy not being in school! Ég veit náturlega að þið geri það :) Anna and Leah, I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET UP WITH YA´LL!!!! woohoo! I´m gonna stop now, toodles! xoxo Hildur Sólveig

SPARIFATARDAGUR

THIS IS THE LAST LECTURE!!! yes! So, all that is left is a test tomorrow and an essay that I have to finish before the 9th! NO SWEAT! The legal department dressed up today to CeLebRatE!!! THE SPINNING TOP KEEPS SPINNING !!!

I´m A sPinnInG tOp

Tell me... if my mind is spinning, if my ideas are spinning, if information in my mind is spinning, if names and dates in my mind are spinning, if important thoughts in my mind are spinning, if I feel like the world is spinning... am I then a spinster? If one can not figure out... then my world is spinning like crazy at the moment. I am forgetting important thoughts and sometimes because i'm crazy busy, i seem like a bitch. Entschuldigung! Whoever pulled my string.... Cheers, the SPINNING TOP!

Pheww.... This is a great day! The sun is shining, once again, the weather is great, once again and I don´t have that test hanging over my shoulder anymore! Man, Friday was quite a day, I had the test that i had been stressing about for months. Wouldn´t you know, we got the same bloody test! Haha... isn´t that strange. I tell you, we got the test in our hands and we were like 'you have got to be kidding me!' ... not something that we expected in University. Then that evening one girl in my class had a class party. There I saw the side of my fellow classmates that I had not seen before :) usually a pleasure though!!! :) Then that Saturday I went with the kids in the swim team to a swim camp in Dalvík. It was lots of fun and the kids were so happy being there. I was there from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon. Kids are hallarious. Now I only have one week of school left. I do not even know how to explain this feeling in my stomach... EXCITEMENT i guess. I cannot wait to go home and see the fam! I cannot wait to go to the pool later on today! The sun is gorgeous!!! toodles Hildur the Sun Creature

Gleðilegt Sumar!!!

HAPPY SUMMER! Oh the weather is great today, not as sunny as yesterday, but still great. It is 10° c outside, and i walked to school only in a sweater. All right, i was wearing pants too, but hopefully ya´ll know what I mean :) So, the big test tomorrow... I´m feeling nauseous! The Legal Department is inviting Kumpáni (the social and legal department) to go to the beer factory, Víking, tomorrow! After that there is a class party for us cool cats. On Saturday I may be going to supervise some kids in our swim club at swim camp. That could be fun. It´s in Dalvík and what the hey, it could be good to get away... especially if the weather is going to stay like this! Well, I am gonna keep studying... xoxo the cOoL CaT

No longer is there a

Guestbook. I decided that i am no longer going to have a guestbook, and I am just going to hold on to my decision. It is though fun reading the comments for the posts, so if you have an opinion, THEN COMMENT! This week has been fairly insane, especially yesterday. I went to class, went to spinning, went to study, went to a Torg, went to a FSHA meeting, studied once again, went to a coach meeting and went back once once again to school to study. When I finally got home I passed out on the couch. Crazy stress this week... I have to take a re-test on Friday which I am crazy stressed for, cross your fingers for me :) First day of summer tomorrow. Icelanders celebrate summer and make it a holiday, CUTE. Hope eVeRyOnE has a SPLENDID day! xoxo Hildur Sólveig

Trouble with cars? GET A BIKE!

Tinna and Adda arrived yesterday. Man, what a trip they had getting here! They were driving along the mud roads, and then da da, Tinna see´s a glacier in the ocean. The photography prodigy in her felt the bursting need to go take a picture, so Adda stops the car in the middle of a hill. Mistake number one. Tinna takes a picture, names the glacier, they get back in the car and try to drive off... without luck. The car starts fizzing, smoke coming up from the engine and they, except for Adda, jump out of the car for the fear of it blowing up. Luckily, there was a car behind them with a bottle of water, they pour it in the water thing, and are able to drive off. In the frantic moment, one of the girls with them drops her wallet on the dirt road and they drive off. They have to make pit stops at random farms and ask old farmers for some water in their 4 water bottles. Finally they make it to Akureyri, after having calling police all around the country, in desperation of finding the girls wallet.... now tell me, who said girls can´t drive, travel, and hold on to valuable possessions? :) The long road brought them here though, and a fun weekend is expected :) xoxo the one who thinks bikes are much more conventional

Íslenska öskra þau!

Æ... ég er ekki viss.... þoli þið það.... geti þið virkilega.... nei.... æj..... hmm.... kannski? Við skulum bara segja að þið getið það. Svona þarf ég mikla sannfæringu til að skrifa á íslensku. God help me. En, ef þetta er eithvað brenglað, þá er það Hauki að kenna. Hann er svo latur og nennir ekki að lesa á ensku, synd... gæti hjálpað honum í skólanum ;) Tja, ég sit hérna nú í matsalnum í þessum æðislega skóla mínum, drekk kaffi, hlusta á Jay-Z (respect) og er að fylgjast með karli að setja svona plast á 'fiskabúrið' svo að ekki er hægt að horfa inn. Það er sammt alveg ágætt, ég meina, skiljanlegt... þetta er fundarherbergi. Vá hvað það er mikið að gera hjá mér. Morgundagurinn er síðasti dagurinn til að skila inn Sæluhelgarlag til Mannsavinina. Ekki tók ég þátt. Ég held að mér er farið að leiðast svoldið hérna á Akureyri, en vonandi breytir sumarinu því. Ég hlakka svo til í að fara heim! Skál fyrir kaffinu! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hildur Sólveig

The stork who brings a live surprise

Cha-cha-cha-cha-changes... turn and face the strange, CHA-CHA-CHANGES! I like this new look. I like it a lot. Sometimes things need to change, it goes with the seasons. Today is a b-e-a-utiful day. Sun is shining, um... and that's it. But, it's better than it being cloudy without any sun. I am in school at the moment, learning about the United Kingdom laws... splendid. We just took a coffee break, and something interesting came up in the conversation that my peers and I just had. (By the way, in the UK, a peer is the name of a member of the house of lords) The topic of the conversation's topic: being pregnant without knowing it. How strange would that be if all of a sudden you started having contractions without knowing you were pregnant?? This really does happen from time to time. I mean, if you are taking the pill, then you can still have your monthly outings to the pharmacy to buy some ALWAYS... and some people really do not drastically change in outlook. What a pleasant surprise it must be to all of a sudden just pop out a kid and all of a sudden become a mum, without any preparation. Does one agree...??? hmm, no not really. The act of being pregnant must be an experience for itself, and I would not like to miss out of it, and all of a sudden pop out a kid. I mean, come on, pregnant women get spoiled by those around them!!! ;) (hmmm... how many agree with that?) hehe, this is all on the light note... xoxo one who will not get a surprise visit from the stork!!

Little angel in my ear

Jeez, I'm starting to believe that blogspot.com is a load of bollucks. Every time i try to post a picture on the blog itself, it doesn't work. I just spent approximately an hour trying to get a "visitor counter" to work, without success. It sucks when you work so long trying to do something, and then it just doesn't work. It's like one of those DEADLY long math problems, like trig or statistics, that takes forever long... and when you think you've finally gotten the answer, you get slapped in the face by a 7 and get scared because seven ate nine. Funny how life is. So yesterday there was the annual meeting of Kumpáni, the Social and Legal department here in the University of Akureyri. I am going to be the representative of the Legal department in the new council. It should be tons of fun, I do not believe anything else. Fun events will hopefully be planned while we are in 'office'. I finally got Doro´s msn address... So I am talking to her a lot more now. Splendid! I STILL CANNOT WAIT TO GO HOME! Tinna and Adda are coming to Akureyri for the singing competition between the junior colleges. Tinna will stay at my place the entire weekend, Adda will only stay one day. Should be a lot of fun! A little angel is always whispering in my ear though, telling me to study study study for the re-take of the Líndal test. Lovely. I´m gonna go bounce, but in the meantime... keep your feet on the ground :) oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo xoxo Hildur Sólveig*

Headlines Headlines

Let us see, news news news... what was in the news last night? Oh I've got one, Sharon is visiting Bush at his ranch in Texas. Great, just what another leader needs to know about the American people: talk with a crazy texan accent, wear gi-normous cowboys hats and hang around all day, from the break of dawn til the sunsets, in our ranch. Yes, not every leader gets to go to Bush's ranch, that's where they go to get a little down to nature, and God knows that's exactly where Sharon needs to go to realize that he's making a huge mistake. But, for some reason I do not believe that will be accomplished in Sharon's trip, for he is going to a ranch that is run on wealth from the oil companies. Can one relax when surrounded by corruption? -sure, i guess if corruption like, for example building walls that seperate and enclose Palestinians from Israelis, makes you comfortable. I think Sharon will have a blast there, discussing with the world's most dangerous world leader, Bush. Speaking of world leaders, the president of Iceland, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, is speaking today at the University. Perhaps my feet will lead me to him? Perhaps not. Last headline: I cannot wait to go home!!! xoxo HiLdUr SóLveIg

No Cars??

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if there were no cars. What kind of an invention would have taken the place of the 4 wheeled vehicle that we use oh so much? Would we have made more technological things to fit a horse or maybe some crazy convenient boat that gets from point A to B like the snap of your finger? HOOVER CARS! Most definatly. Maybe not in the form of a car, since the form does not serve the same purpose. When driving from Ísafjörður, me and this guy were talking about how cool it would be if you could just hoover over the billion fjords that you have to drive when traveling the West Fjords. Instead of Land Rover, you got the Land Hoover. As they say in the beer commercial... BRILLIANT!!!

Yea Yea Yea Yea YeaYea Yea

Lalalalalala lalalalalala soul captives are free!!! So on Saturday I went to Sjallinn here in Akureyri and saw another rock concert. The main event... Nine Elevens were playing. They are a group that has their origin from Ísafjörður, crazy ass mother fuckers that wear leather pants and are bare chested... much like the vikings were in the olden days ;) There was a lot of yelling, headbanging and guitars on fire. I have to admit that that was pretty damn cool. Valdi´s facial expressions when he´s up on the stage belong on the big screen, i´m telling you, Jack Nicholson nr. 2!! hehe. After that, Herdís and I went to Kaffi Akureyri, and it was fairly fun! Some were preoccupied talking to certain someones... and some were stuck on the dance floor. Hmm... who could those people be? So, the Pope has passed away, I really have to read up on him... don´t nearly know enough about his good acts. Michael Jackson is still on trial... wish we would learn about that in school. Instead, we are writing an essay on the International Court of Justice, which is amusing and fun, but come on... some court in Haag... or Michael Jackson....?!?!? Coffee still tastes damn good. Bob Marley is still an idol. Bob Marley will always be an idol. Bob Marley was the pope of Reggae. Reggae is not rock. This is crazy. Over and out. xoxo Akureyrar Sól

komin norður

Back am I to Akureyri. JOY! Oh, Suðureyri was great! It´s unbelievable how much fun one can have in a hmm... 350 people town. Great fun. Aldrei fór ég suður was splendid... I think i´m in love with the singer in Hjálmar... his name is probably Hjálmar. Reggae guy who I think is gorgeous! I took some pictures while I was there, I´ll have to put them on the net soon. I also am going to put my new photopage on this blog in a little bit. I will not put a lot of older pictures on it, but we´ll see. As i am sitting in class, all i can think about is ONLY A MONTH LEFT TILL I´M DONE IN SCHOOL!!! woohoo!!! I can´t wait to go back to the USA. Bobby Fischer is an Icelandic citizen now... haha, that´s great. I don´t have much to say at the moment. Ciao.

Aldrei fór ég Suður

Oh how life is good here in Suðureyri. Gram and gramps are slendid, the friends are great and the pool is fantastic. Tonight is 'Aldrei fór ég suður', a rock concert with many many bands. It´s in Ísafjörður and it´s gonna be KRAZY FUN! I´m going to a dinner party first though, but then Ísafjörður is on the artinerary. I went to a birthday party last night, and i felt like i was in a hen house... yap yap yap yap yap... thankfully my friend tinna was there to even out the insanity. Afterwards me and Tinna walked around Suðureyri for a while, instead of going to a concert (ball). We have a life.
So the little bro has a blog page... how funny! He´s such a cutie. Pictures from this spring break will come on the page sometime soon... i got another photopage that i will need to put on the net soon. aight, ciao!!!

The bloody dentist

As I was writing a letter to my lovely friend Doro in Germany, I had a slip back to my last dentists visit... this is what I wrote her:
'I tell ya, them dentists can take a really long time, and they don´t make the wait pleasurable at all.... you go into their office, smell the nasty plastic and toothpaste smell in their office, have a seat, scrounge throught he many magazines until you finally find one that is somewhat appealing, 'Home Gardening', sit there actually noticing that your nails are growing because your waiting so long. When you finally get into the office, you sit with your mouth open for hours, try to answer the questions that they ask you while they are cleaning your teeth, with no success at all, for if you answer their questions, you either swallow the nasty ass shit they put into your mouth, or just end up mummling some words that do not make any sense, spitting a little on the dentists goggles. Not wanting to be rude, you try to answer, resulting in spitting and swallowing. Finally when you walk out of there your jaw is killing you, you look like your dog (tounge out, drooling, mouth open because jaw is so tired) try to look normal, but look even dumber because as you attempt to make it look like your mouth is closed, you are clenching your entire face looking like a toothless old man. Then you have to book your next appointment, try to set a date, spitting all over the place while trying to make out words but not working because the novicane was too damn strong. finally after you´ve given up and let the lady in the office just set the date and time for the next appointment, you go home, try to drink some coffe, but fail because you just burned your entire mouth and neck, for you forgot you couldn´t feel the burning liquid in your mouth.'
uuuuufffffff..... what you do for healthy teeth... ;) hehe

Yes, the lovely dentist... i think the lovely trip to the manicure and peticure studio will be next on the artinerary :)

No new photopage

I have been deleted. Barnaland no longer wants my beautiful pictures on its homepage. Well, considering that it is a program for newly mothers and mothers to be, I do not find it wierd that they threw my drinking pictures off. Hmmm, what´s wrong with them? I do not know. This weekend we had the "Yearly-celebration" or Árshátið. The theme was casino, and it was SPLENDID! I had sooooo much fun! Wish I had taken some pictures!!! MAN! Well, not like some of you would be able to see the pictures... hmm. This is not good, I have to find some way to figure out a new picture page. Akureyri is good. The weather has been good. School is, um, still going on.... grand fun. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

The Beatles truth

If there´s anything that you want. If there´s anything I can do. Just call on me and I´ll send it along, with love from me to you.
What a beautiful line. Is it not? That is a person saying that they will do whatever you ask them to do, and they´ll do it with love. What a great jesture! Is this only something that was back in the good-ole days, the 60´s, or do we still do these kinds of favours willingly? Maybe it was all the free love back then, or people´s reaction to war and they just felt like they should do things for people without thinking "what do I get from this?" Wouldn´t that be a great world we would live in if people thought more about others and less of themselves? Has our world turned into a place where you cannot survive unless you suck the soul out of you mates?
Love, all we need is love.
Love is all we need, I agree with you Paul McCartney. I would do anything to see the children in Africa smiling, to hear that AIDS is no longer a problem in this disease infested world of ours. Love is a healer and we must learn to nurture that thought. If we stop the racism, facistm, and predudice, them maybe we can learn to love those who are different from us. Put aside the money, the greed, and notice that there is more to the world then what you think. This world could be a beautiful, beutiful place if we broke down the walls of naiveness and shortsightedness.
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world. You may say I´m a dreamer, but I´m not the only one.
-Lenon

Akureyrar sitý

I'm in an Akureyri... state of mind.... So, Reykjavík was grand! I had so much fun! We got there on Thursday, and we went on the town, Friday was basically free time. I met up with Stína and we hung out all day. Then that evening we went to Póstbarinn and hooked us up with some cheap drinks. Then we went to Pravda and partied till the break of dawn. Well, maybe not break of dawn, since it doesn´t get bright so early, but ya´ll get the point. Then on Saturday I met up with Vala and Anna from Suðureyri, and then I went to Hveragerði. Then when I left Hveró, I went back to the hotel where madness was going on. There were tons of people just hanging out at the hotel with a guitar. I ended up taking the first song, getting the guitar party started (with my abnoxious voice) and then the guy playing the guitar ended up playing "rap". This guy Hannes, who is in the "party commitee" started dissing some people, and they all started dissing him back, and then people were like, THE LAWYER´S NOW! That meant me, cuz i was the only law student there, and it ended up that me and Hannes were going back and forth the entire night rhyming and dissing each other. We were standing on chairs and it was straight up HALLARIOUS! Then we finished with a peaceful rhyme, sang some songs and then went downtown. The entire night people were telling me how I kicked his ass, which makes no sense because he dissed me soooooo bad. But, since the public opinion is what matters, we´ll stop the story there ;) When we went downtown I met up with Stína again and we had soooooo much fun! I HAVE MISSED HER LIKE CRAZY! It was so good to meet up with her AND KRISTÓFER again! I saw a glimps of Kólbeinn, but he was working so I didn´t see him too much... :( I just shat on myself today in a test, shit. We´ll see how that went. I think i´m getting sick... when does the madness stop? I can´t wait to see gramps and grams again... they´re lovely I got an email from Leah the other day, miss her!!! I talked to Anna on the phone the other day, MISS HER TOO! I want everyone to take care of themselves and stay happy :) xoxo Hildur Sólveig

Reykjavík city here I come

Well, the University is going on a "field trip" to Reykjavík. We leave today, drive back on Sunday. I cannot wait and I know it will be tons of fun. I cannot wait to see my Rvk people! I will most likely go to Hveragerði on Saturday, Soffía´s 40th birthday, and see the fam there. Yippee! It would have been great had mum come to Iceland, but you can´t have everything ;) Well, cheers till then, and I just want to tell people that I just added some viewable pictures to the picture page. All right, I hope everyone has a great weekend. Adios xoxo the RVK gal

Terrible things are happening

Yesterday I was watching the tube, like many others, and after Jay Leno came a biography movie about the children in Palestine. Yes, it was a movie about the Israel- Palestine problem that has been going on since after WW2. Palestine is a country, or maybe that is just an ideal thought, that is being taken over and invaded by the Israelies. When I was watching the film I tried to watch it with an open mind, tried to see it from a neutral point of view, but my anger just soared as I saw a huge army tank rummage through the streets of Palestine, scaring children by speeding towards them and Israeli soldiers shooting in order to scare the children. I will admit that the children were throwing rocks and such at the tanks, but what are several pebles to a huge army tank? Being a soldier in one of them tanks, getting rocks thrown at me non-stop, I believe I would get a little bit annoyed, but then if I was an Israeli soldier in a tank, in the Palestine area, pretending to have some power over the Palestinians, I would think to myself... "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?!?" It's also amazing to see how the Palestine people worship the people who die. It is seen as being inappropriet to cry when a person dies due to Israeli soldiers. Those who die are martyrs, dying for their faith. You saw small children talking about how they wanted to be martyrs and die for Palestine. Where does this nationalism come from? It of course comes from the hate for those who are invading their lives. The Palestine people are prisoners within their own towns, checkpoints blocking the roads out, Israeli soldiers in the mountains, ready to shoot at any Muslim when they find the need. The constant terror that the Palestine live with is not a thing which people should have to put up with. It is a violation of their human rights, the right to be a human being. Living constantly in fear of course draws out the anger and irrationability in the people. Damn, I can tell you all that by watching that movie, I became ashamed of being where I was. Living in Iceland in a country so peaceful, studying a topic that will, most likely, help those who have money. I felt that I should be somewhere else helping others, letting others know about the war crimes being done by the Israelies in Palestine. Hopefully this post will open the minds of others, and show them that the way that the Israelies are acting towards the Palestinians, is the exact same way that the Nazi's acted towards the Jews. Just terrible that this is what the USA are supporting. Pray for peace on Earth, Hildur Sólveig

HELP!

If anyone can tell me of a photo page that does not cost anything and has a lot of memory for you to put on it... PLEASE tell me. The new photo page doesn't take any more pictures, and not everyone can view the old page. Therefore, I need a new album. I just wasted quite a lot of time trying to find stuff, and I really need to start writing my 6-8 page essay. JOY! HELP ME PLEASE!

Pictures Pictures Pictures

I have just posted the pictures that I took this Christmas on the picture page! Please tell me, those of you in the US, if you are unable to view the pictures. I don't think ya'll can, so i'm going to have to find another picture page... but until I do, the pictures are GREAT! take my word for it! :) xoxo Hildur Sólveig

The Mockery

Akureyri, the place where Icelanders want to go to go ski. It would be great if I would actually have my ski's with me. MAN OH MAN! I really should check it out and see how much old ski's cost. That would be the solution to my problems. But seeing how old ski boots treat me, i'm a little skeptic about how long they would actually last me. Hmm, we'll see. All I know is that I really should go skiing soon! The great outdoors. So, I finally moved all my stuff into my place on Thursday! FINALLY! My room is so ultimately COZY that I just really don't ever want to leave it, but then my parakeet starts yelling at me and will not stop... the constant nag of a sharp piercing chirp. So, then I have to get my ass out of my room, or... throw the damn thing into the storing room :) No just kidding, I don't really do that. This weekend was all right... ELSA (European Law Students Association) Iceland came to Akureyri and had some sort of lecture which included beer for us while we were listening. Then we went to Víking which is a beer plant, and we got to taste some of their delicious beer, then we went out to eat, and then a party which had 2 fairly big buckets of beer. The law department paid for the beer (can´t wait to see the expression on the foreman when he finds that out)!! :) Then after that we went downtown. There weren´t that many people out that night, but I had fun. Stopped some young bloke, who probably just got his drivers license, and had him jet me home. Haha, hey what can you do? These kids drive around the town, in the same circle every weekend, and expect not to get stopped? No, but the kids in the car thought I was hallarious (long time since that happened!) and really pulled through with the nice gesture. Then on the Saturday I rented some movies and just had it really cozy, all by myself. I woke up Sunday feeling great and cleaned the entire apartment. SVO DUGLEG! thank you thank you... ;) But yea, it was a nice weekend. Today my group lost in the mock trial that we did for class, even though I think we kicked ass! hehe... reasonable doubt there... NOT! the mockery... Well, this is sounding like a journal so I´m going to stop. SEND ME MONEY SO i CAN GO SKIING! Mock loser

The Commoner

How good it is to be a commoner. Use the common language, read the common book, see the common things and laugh at the common jokes. The commoner wears the common clothes, eats the common food and thinks the common ideas. He wants to be among the commoners, blocks out the non-commoners and walks about the commons singing his commonly known song. Oh, the commoner has a good life. That is also why the commoner uses the Common Law. Life here in Akureyri is going well. My plan to move in though isn't going anywhere... still have not moved my bed and stuff, oh how time flies when you are sleeping on an oh so comfy couch. Times are busy and no time to move. My aunt will help me though perhaps tomorrow. Coaching has started again, twice a week. The kids are so great and I am just so happy at work. Classes are all right... just haven't really fallen into the "study mode" yet, but that'll come with a little time. Um, homesickness has hit a couple of times... not good. But, before you know it, i'll be in the sunshine hitting the waves. The ski slopes have opened here in Akureyri, if only my ski boots hadn't exploded on me. Damn boots :) SO HALLARIOUS! Well, i'm really hungry and am going to go eat. I have to be more consistant with writting here. Adios! xoxo Commoner

They call me the walking Snowplow

All right... well i'm back in Iceland, sitting in the library listening to The Smashing Pumpkins, trying to keep the tear from falling from my eye because it reminds me of Chris. When I think of Chris, I think of Anna, Leah, Gabe (who i didn't get to say bye to), John, Jeremiah and just everybody. All of a sudden I just got a homesick feeling, so I decided that I would blog. Yea, I haven't done that in a while, but hey... i was on break. Yes, sometimes I need to part away from my lovely computer... but I think the thing was that I was just having so much fun and so relaxed there at home, that I really just did not find any reason to blog about anything. I had all I needed. Well, it is good to be back here in Akureyri, but quite uneventful. I have a 20% test tomorrow, God help me. It is going to be a christmas tree test. Hopefully my lucky dice still works. Um, the apartment is good. My room is a bit small, but rooms usually look smaller when there is nothing in them. I haven't gotten anyone to help me move my bed, bookshelf or drawer. It'll be interesting to see how that will work out. Well, nothing will happen til tomorrow, because I have to study! So, you wanna talk about weather? Yea, -12 degrees C, TONS OF SNOW!!! Lovely, eh? Well, yesterday I decided to go to the store, had to buy some food for the new apartment, and I filled up two bags of groceries. Well, I decided to walk past my old house, when I get this brilliant idea that I will hang the two bags on the wheel of the bike so that my arms won´t fall off. So I go get my bike, covered in snow, dust it off and hang the bags on the steering wheel. Then I start walking. It was a little bit trivial at first, but I got the hang of it after a little bit. So I keep walking, even attempt, KEY WORD ATTEMPT, to sit on the bike without success, until I see that the trail in the snow all of a sudden stops! What the hell was that?!? The wind had blown the snow all over the walking path, and there was only this tiny trail of footmarks left. Since I was wearing my snazzy new rubber-boots, i walked in the snow and tried to plow my bike through the snow, grocery bags flying all over the place, a Cambell´s soup can banging against my leg and NO GLOVES! TE-RRRRRR-IBLEEEE hea hea hea hea (haha, Anna that´s Claire! ;) ) HAha, well i´m over and out. Miss Plowman

what a wonderful morning

MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS! MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS! MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS! yeps, and that's all i gots to says.... xoxo christmas bunny

23 December 2004

All right! So, back again! SKIING WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! Wow, the guys were great, saw a couple of stallions, 1 snow bunny (seriously, there was a guy dressed in a bunny suit) and a whole shit load of snow. I think that bunny guy was wearing the Easter costume, hmm... we'll never know now, since i didn't ask him. The main goal for the guys during the evening hours was to go to a bar and find some snow bunnies. I showed them the guy in the suit, but that's obviously not what they were talking about. I'm so confused. Hehe, no... they talk about bunnies, i talk about stallions. We all had an understanding of how the system works. :) Um, since i've been back i've just really been hanging out. Not doing much at all except for rotting at coffee houses with Anna and Leah. Arnþór is convinced that there's some coke in the coffee... he really doesn't understand why I go to Aroma's like 2 times a day. The mysteries of Hildur. But maybe there is some interesting point in Thor's inquiry. Maybe not, we'll never know. Well, this blasphamous writing is giving me a headache... so i think i'm going to stop. Tomorrow is my Christmas! I can't wait.... i've been singing WHAM! all day :) "Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away!" Cruel cruel people, hehe MERRY CHRISTMAS! XOXO Hildur

Everything is WOOHOO!

ALL RIGHT! WooHoO! So i'm back home! Úfff you don´t know how good it feels to be back! I´m flabergasted cuz i´m so excited! This morning, I woke up and it was light outside... 7 o´clock and light! OH MY GOD! So good to be out of the dreary darkness. Not only was it light outside, but I also actually spoke to people! yes, my friends, you heard right, PEOPLE! not were these people only people, but they were my FAMILY. Oh it was so nice and homey! Today I just kinda hung around, until I went to Aroma´s (coffehouse in Colonial Williamsburg). Oh, funny story. On my way there, I had to get gas. Pull up to the pump, look for the button to open up the gas flap (don´t know what it´s called), but to my surprise, there was none. I was seriously sitting in my car trying to find the damn button for like 15 minutes! I kept thinking to myself, "hmm... it´s probably soooo obvious, but i´m to disturbed to not see it", so I (feeling like a complete dumbass) ask this guy (a mexican who didn´t really speak english) to help me find the button. He was hopeless so I just said thank you and called my dad collect on the payphone! HOW PATHETIC IS THAT! And to my surprise, he said that there is no button (yeaps, figured that out myself) and that I just needed to push on the flap. TECHNOLOGY THESE DAYS! Unbelievable! haha! Yea, so I went to Aroma´s and sat there chillin, drinking my latté, and drawing, when no one else but LEAH came! WOOHOO! I was so excited that... um... I just couldn´t hide it! So, we drank some teath staining coffee, chatted and just enjoyed the moment, when no one else but ANNA shows up! WOOHOO! I tell ya, what a good day! awwww... :) So, now i´m waiting to go to my brothers violin concert... that little mozart... and then i´m gonna call my bizes up. Tomorrow I go on a weekend trip with my bro to go skiing! WOOHOO! It´ll be a blasted blast! I´m so excited! UGH IT WAS SO GOOD, AND STILL IS, TO SEE MY FAM! best feeling in the world! xoxo the "WOOHOO" girl

a penny saved is a penny earned

All right... so i'm ALMOST done with school! WOOHOO! i took my 40% exam yesterday, wrote about the barbaric invasions of the Germs and so. It went fine... cross my fingers...! So yesterday there was a cocktail party at KB Banki, a bank here in Iceland. The law students were invited to the bank, where they introduced a little bit why lawyers were needed in banks and so. They also freshed us up with red wine, white wine, beer and snacks. I tell you, I most definatly think we should invited ourselves to KB Banki a little more often! IT WAS GREAT! Free party night! Didn't have to worry about buying beer or nothin. "KB Banki, they're GRREEEAATTT". Oh can't you see Tony the Tiger saying that in a suit with a breafcase in his hands? Well, those of you who can't, suck. Hehe no just kidding. After the cocktail party, I changed and went to a birthday party. It was so much fun! Haukur had a karaoke party going on and, no... I didn't sing. That comes as a surprise! Knowing me, I would have thought I would be singing waterloo, dancing and going crazy. Well, I did all of that anyway, except sing waterloo... I'll just leave that to ABBA. Of course I had to show my skills on the guitar and play "ÞAÐ BLANDA ALLIR LANDA Á SÚGANDA", crazy skills on the GuItAr. Then, I went to Amour, sat there and watched my FAVORIT trubador play!!! HE'S SO COOL! Haha, didn't get his number though... haha Sólveig! Oh, something exciting... Sólveig and I are getting an apartment in January! FINALLY I GET TO TALK TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN MY COMPUTER! woohoo! I´ll have to keep ya´ll posted with news on that. Well, I´m kinda worn out from last night, so I don´t have much to say... and what I say is fairly dull... so I think i´ll stop torturing you all. "a penny saved is a penny earned" - how I wish I would follow this moto. toodles, the tired one

Ain't no sunshine when it RAINS

So, lovely day today here in Akureyri, wind blowing, ice melting and practically no daylight at all. Oh how the weather in Iceland is unbelievably good. YEA RIGHT. You know, i'm not kidding when i say it didn't get light at all, because it did't. And now, at four o' clock, it is dark and dreary, raining and just wet. Wet wet wet. I was contemplating this morning if I should buy iceskates, because I was slippin and slidin the whole way to school. It's unbelievable what we vikings have to put up with. Haha, I even started thinking, because I do so much of that on my walk to school, how "cool" I would be if I would show up to class with iceskates flung around my shoulder. Further into that thought, I started laughing... realizing that if I would pursue my idea, I would most likely fall, stab myself with the skate that were flung around my shoulder, and die. Hmm, best leave that idea only in my head... oh the great things that I come up with! :) (even though I would look awesome with my skates)!!! So, I think I should get a medal. No, not because of my brilliant idea with the skates, but because I conquered my bed this morning and was able to get to class! WOOHOO! Only about 15 minutes late (we'll blame that on the skate-less walk to school) ;) Oh, I forgot to write about the SPLENDID and most beautiful concert that I went to last Thursday. The concert: Eivor Palsdottir, who has the most beautiful voice ever!! Seriously, when I left Græni Hattinn, I was in a trance. Her voice is a beautiful piece of art... if you can say that. Sure, it´s my sentence, I say what I want. On the way home, Sólveig got to hear my constant squeeky voice describing everything, oh and i mean EVERYTHING, which I thought was great. And when I wasn´t talking, I was speachless! It was LOVELY! Haha, and when I parted with Sólveig, I sang the whole way home, trying with great passion to hit the pitches which she sang, which turned out to be an ungodly act of me... but hey, it made the ICE under my FEET start cracking!! Maybe that´s a method of survival which I should continue to pursue... especially when I´m walking my ass to school. Then there´ll be no falling for Miss Hildur... xoxo The Ice-breaker

13 DAYS!!! bed FiGhTs and frost...

OH i can´t wait to go home. THERE´S NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!! Ahhh... this is seriously starting to become an obsession. I can´t fall asleep at night because i´m starting to plan what i´m going to do while i´m home. Take the dogs to cw, go get coffee, and sow. Knowing me, i´ll probably only spend 1 day in sowing, won´t give a damn about the dogs, even forget to feed them, and sit all by myself rotting at the coffee houses. Haha, no just kidding, I think i´m going to have a blast. Relaxing and stuff. Oh, so something good happened today.... an essay which I though I was supposed to hand in tomorrow isn´t due til after a week! Ha! God must be playing with my head, I must have hear wrong. The Christmas spirit must be in my stallion of a teacher, haha! no, he´s a great teacher, just feel a little guilty because i haven´t been showing up too often. Actually, I´ve barely been showing up at all. I tell you, every single morning I have a terrible terrible fight with my bed. I hit it, bite it, and yell at it to let me wake up and go to school, but where as my strong will is just not AS STRONG as the will of my bed, I usually sleep through lesson and just go up to the school library. The battles which one must go through every day. It´s not strange though that one does not want to wake up, I mean, it doesn´t get bright til around 11, and before then, all you can hear is the wind blowing and the frost forming on your window. No desire to go into the cold I tell you. And also the fact that I have to walk 15 minutes to get to school just destroys my will. Oh how my life is hard... wah! haha just kidding.

Well, 13 days til I go home! I´M SO DAMN EXCITED! CHEERS!
