I know I tend to lack wirting that keeps you reading, I don't know why, but I think my brain has sort of shut down on itself or at least it feels like its trying to. I try to keep my everyday life more or less out most of the time. Not because I am ashamed or anything, its just that most of the time, its so dull and routine-based. I work almost everyday, and when I get home, I usually just sleep or read, I spend quite a lot of time alone - and that because I like it. I have never been attached too much to people to have them around constantly. I have no problem with spending days after days all alone, why? I don't know. But I have never been a social creature and I feel much more calm and connected when I'm in my own company. Of course I love my family and friends and wouldn't give them up for everything in the world. But it all boils down to at the end of the day, I prefer to be alone. I sometimes feel like the protagonist in the game Dear Esther. 

And because I don't see how me staring into a wall for hours would somehow turn out to be a interesting of portraying this blog, I would rather tell you about my interests. You know, music, books, movies, pencil dresses, cheesy writing and pictures I find just as cheesy as the writing itself. I curiously enough get asked almost everyday by family, friends and co-workers if I have a boyfriend and why I don't have one. I can't see why the obsession of knowing this is interesting, but I don't because I don't feel like it, nor am I in love with anyone at the current moment, as I said, I prefet to be alone. And jee, I am the least romantic person in the world. I hope this has satisfied your urge to know, interesting? Not really, but I just felt like throwing it out here.

I think I tend to be fairly arrogant form time to another, and I don't thank you enough for all the sweet and wonderful comments and feedback you guys are giving me, so I hope you know that it means a lot to me, all of your writings has truly made my usually non-emotional being melt a little bit. You are all amazing, so thank you, I hope you have a wonderful day and do enjoy the weekend as best as you can!

Happy birthday Norway! Ive been downtown since morning, just mingling and spent the day with my loved ones, sadly it has been raining all day (...) but a great day still! Oh, and I still remember when quite a few of you asked to see me in my bunad, for you non-scandinavians, the bunad is our traditional garment of sorts, what it looks like, depends on where you live in Norway. And so, without any furthar adue, here you go, me in my bunad. Try to ingore the fact that I look like a fifteen year old, and that I might look rather uncomfortable because the skirt is rather ichy. But nonetheless I love wearing it during special occations. I'll say this in norwegian because there is really no way else to put it, I own a green trønderbunad. Do you have one? If so, from where in Norway do you live and is your bunad from the same place? And too be fair, and slighly patriotic, I think the trønderbunad is one of the most beautiful ones, this is higly subjective of course, but I just find it really, really gorgeous. 

And honestly, my highlight of the day is when 501 legion pass, as a hardcore Star Wars-fan, I when a bit crazy, I want a stormtrooper-costume so badly! Actually I am thinking about joining the 501 club anytime soon, but first I need a costume, I am thinking an imperial offiser suit, sounds rather fashionable doesn't it?

I just love male bloggers, and those with style the most. I can't really describe how mindblown I get whenever I find a new guy online, with both the style and attitude I just love. So in honour of my favourite male bloggers, I give you this post. Lest start off with the amazing being pictured above. I found him on lookbook and was just swept of my feet. That hair, the coats, that face. And as a cherry on top, hes even french! I don't know wwhy that makes the cherry, but I love France and the french language, meaning not only does he look great, he propably sounds great too. (...) I am fangirling over here. His name is Clemet Louis, and you can find his blog here.

Edward Honaker was propably one of the first guys I fanned on Lookbook, his style is really simple, slick, elegant and classy. Just spot on, I love how he take such simple garments and puts them together into such wonderful looks, and not to mention his hair! Ive noticed I am a big fan of guys styling their hair as the bloggers featured on this post. I don't know why, but to me its such a turn on. Edward is american, lives in San Diego and goes to college, at least Ive heard so. You can find his blog here.

Our next one is this Australin bomb named Ben Galbraith. Hes also a guy with a classic, simple, yet slick and elegant style. He usually wears suits and shirts everyday, and somehow manage to style them in a way that feels casual and laid-back, but still keeps this oozing class by wearing ties, boots and sunglasses. I am doing my best not to sound too stalker-ish or creepy, but those eyes of his...too beautiful. You can find his blog here.

Spencer is a canadian with a very interesting style, as it is versatile. As you can see, you can keep it all on a rather simple, grey-white-black sort of lever, or go overboard with colourclashing. Either way he manages to look amazing in both styles, and he has a good eye for details many people tend to lack, just look at those socks! Can you say amazing? You can find his blog here.

And last, but by no means least, Adrian Cano...hes british, need I say more? No. but I'll do say anyway. He is not surprisingly a guy with a passion for suits aswell, giving his looks a fun twist by wearing brightly coloured jeand or ties. He keeps it simple, but very, very classy. You can fin his blog here. Do you have some favourites of your own worth sharing? If so, please do, because I never ever get tired of reading blogs with quality, stand-out style and amazing pictures. 

My life is a series of unfortunate events from time to time, the other day I got late for work because I blind girl got her cane stuck between the doors at the bus as they were closing, the driver spent about 20 minutes trying to get her cane out, its the kind of event that seem so unlikely to happen I am tempted to say I oversleep because it seem way more believeable. Being too socialy awkward as myself doesn't help the least bit, Im just sitting there waiting until the problem solves itself. So after 20 minutes it did, and I was so frustrated I didn't know what to do. This is one of those moments I am tempted to feel sorry for myself but try not to because I really I am just an idiot. Oh, and what else have been happening lately? I have been crushing severly on Tom Hiddleston, I have this weakness for good-looking british men in their 30s. Surprised? No? Yeah, me neither. Me and my obsession with men...never seem to end, figures. Men and shoes, jee. I just can't help myself.

Besides being a bit too obsessed with the british men, I have also been in love with these shoes I got in London, from Zara of course, where else? I love their slick design and timeless clothing, as Ive said before, they never ceases to amaze with their collections. And these heels of the most dreamy colours of emerald and cobalt just have been stuck on my mind since. And hey, May 17th is the day after tomorrow! Ive been so busy lately I almost forgot, rather silly of me, but I guess I will be spending the day with friends and family downtown like the entire city does, eating ice cream, just walking around and greeting each other. Do you have any special plans maybe?

Sometimes life just feels so different from what you are used to. What if everything you know is just your own disortet view of something else? I often get told that I shouldn't "think so much" and I have to say of you really believe giving up thinking is just as easy as saying so, then your view on thinking itself, also is really disortet. I guess some things just can't be understood, like online, you can be whoever you want, and still some many people choose to be stupid. Why we find the sunrise so beautiful and why, even with six billion people sharing the same planet as you do, one can still feel so alone. Its strange how everything works. How you can be filled with so many organs doing its job the keep you alive, but still feel like there is this big, empty void just beneath the surface of your skin. How you seem so fragile compared to a mountain but so strong compared to an ant. How candyfloss, rocks, birds and cars are all som different but still built by the same material, atoms, carbon, hydrogen and iron. Why has life given us so much to think about, when you clearly get exhausted before you can even understand so.

Socrates once said; If the human brain was simple enough for one to understand, we would still be too stupid to understand it anyway. And yes, so very true, although it appears we can't understand ourselves still, why? Because the brain is too complicared, or because we are too stupid? Propably both. So why even bother. You'll propably never understand yourself or life anyway, but nobody is going to stop you from trying. All they can say is "you shouldn't think so much" and you know that will never have an impact on your thinking anyway. Life makes me...nervous. But I guess thats a good thing, because if it didn't, life propably wouldn't be worth living. 

And you know, I like being alive, even though it makes me nervous.

I got today, feels wonderful! I basically just slept in and spent some hours out in the sunny weather, not to mention windy. Some of you may be thinking "oh, this dress again" yes, you see, it happens ever so often when you find a garment so perfect you feel just as amazing when putting it on for the hundred time as you did for the first time. I am a big fan of the navy colour, the slick lines and the big collar. This dress is just perfect and fits every single point of what I requirer of a dress. I have also been searching various sites for perfect dresses to wear this summer, and I've found a bunch I just want to click home this very moment, but I am trying to hold back at least until the beginning of June. Though I sense my willpower will leave before so happens. 

What have you guys been up to lately? As you know, I have just been working and working and working even more the last weeks. I love having something to do all day, but of course a day off every now and then is even better. And as summer approaches, one would rather take a walk in the park eating ice cream and savour the heat, than sitting inside for hours. Oh well, thats just life I suppose. One just have to learn balancing it all out so it turns out just the way you want it to be, right?

We live in a world dominated by the urge to look like the opposite of what we are. It doesn't matter what you look like, what colour your skin, eyes or hair is, somehow, we will always find a way of thinking we shouldn't look the way we do. In the western world, a golden tan is something most people really wishes for, why? Because its exotic and beautiful. People will go way far to achive this goal of being tan all year around, self-tanning lotions, solarium, hours laying flat in the sun - beauty seem to come before health, no matter what it matters, it does. Whilst in the eastern world, a fair skin is just as exotic as the tan skin is in the western world, see where I am going with this? Its rather odd isn't it. Are we really so strict and mean towards ourselves that we have to go so far we might hurt ourselves, to achive what you think is beautiful. What media calls beautiful? Its rather ironic isn't it, media wouldn't be anywhere if we wheren't here, we are what media feeds of, so why do we bow down and follow their rules? When we, the people, individuals, all really, really beautiful, are the ones who gave the tern media a meaning? Humans are such complicated yet simple creatures, if you are satisfied with yourself, you should be called selfish and arrogant, because surely why would you feel good about yourself? If are unsatisfied with yourself, then you should be called insecure and shy, surely, why shouldn't you feel good about yourself. One way or another, we will always find a way of trying to convice ourselves that we aren't good enough, smart, enough, beautiful enough, because we think that surely, "I could always be better". Why don't we ever try to convice ourselves that we are in fact good enough. The only one holding you back and telling you aren't good enough, is you.

Why wasting your time think about what you could be, when you can think about what you are. That you matter, you make a difference, and that you are in fact, just as great as anybody could ever ask you to be.

I don't like the way everybody is trying to portray us as something we should be rather than salute us for what we are. Its so strange we have to twist and turn on everything to turn it into something negative. Actually, I am surprised we haven't all broken down in tears long ago because of the constant pressure of being something. You can't be everything, nobody is asking you to be everyting, we are just asking you to be you and do it the way you know best, because if you don't, then who will? We aren't clones, so why try to act like so? Isn't different talents, looks, interests and thoughts the most amazing thing in the world. Don't worry about fitting in, worry about not standing out, because, wouldn't you like to stand out? Be you, act like you, and look like you. You are the only one who knows how to do so. And if we all try to "fit in" then where would we all go? No space is so big everybody could ever be the mirror image of each other, and still feel unique. Life is to short to fit in, life is to short to not stand out. Too many is already blended in, don't do it, the mix so big the propably wouldn't ever get out.

Instead of complaining about pointless things, I though id rather show you some pictures and talk about things I love instead, like The Kinks! And I know you may ask yourself "Oh again...?" but should one ever stop talking about the things one value? I say no. I remember when I first discovered the band, I had been listening to Pink Floyd a while and was finally starting to understand the consept of music and bands like Pink Floyd alike, thanks to my father I had loads of LPs and cds to search trough and hopefully find something I liked, and I bet you I did. The first band that I fell in love with after Pink Floyd was, yes you guessed it, The Kinks. I don't really think I could pick a favourite song, but a really like Waterloo Sunset, as I do like all of their songs in general. 

And I just have to share some random thoughts Ive been having on my mind lately, you know people say the think too much about everything in the shower? About where they are in life, what they should do and if they are where they want to be in life. I am the total opposite, I use to overly think about everything possible at all time - but when I am showering, my mind goes blank, I don't think about anything, I just shower. I have never been thinking in the shower, nor singing, doing fun stuff with my hair when its shampooed, anything. And its so wonderful, showering, is to me, the only way of letting go of everything, showering is the only thing that makes me totally calm and stop to worry about everything. Its kind of strange really, but so, so fantastic. Oh my, this was way to detailed and boring. 

As you may have noticed, I have had no timeat all to shoot any pictures or write something overly creative, but as I said, I have been working so much I just go to sleep when I get home. Sad really, because I have so many ideas and things I want to share, but things just have to be put on hold for now, but i promise I wont forget them. Now I have to run to work again, wont be home before tonight, and then working really, really early tomorrow - on a saturday. I think my brain has shut down on itself. Maybe I'll get some time to do some pictures later today. Oh well, have a great weekend! 

I have been so tired lately, I've been working alot and basically taking all the work I could get the last week, maybe saying yes isn't that smart after all? However I get paid alot, and thats fine by me, but it takes energy ans effort to pull through, and even though I have a lot of ideas for my blog these days, almost every single one of them as been put on hold, because I simply can't find time to make the ideas reality. So don't let your claws out just yet, maybe there is something YOU want more on the blog? Tell me, because I really want to communicate with my readers. There is one side saying I should just give up blogging because it drains my energy, and the other one says I shouldn't, I have been thinking alot about this lately, because I'm just not sure about anything anymore I find myself in a weird position and I have a lot of thinking a head. Sounds easy enough, but right now...I don't know.

When I got home from work, I stepped out in the sunshine and enjoyed an ice cream, it has been way to long since the last time I ate one, to me (and propably most of us) ice creams are the very symbol of summer approching, right? You all know I love being cheesy, and today I can only use cheesy words to describe the feel, blue sky and fluffy white clouds, like candy cotton. Its safe to say that these evenings during early summer is the most beautiful ones. I bet I'll indulge into some more ice cream tomorrow, since I have both tomorrow and friday off, feels amazing. And the ice cream was really the cherry on top, how ironic, I should propably stay on the fit side during summer, but I am so into ice cream that my summer bod (whitch doesn't ecxist) may have to suffer because of my sweet tooth. I mean...the italian ice cream here in my town is just beyond amazing. Coffee, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, strawverries and cherries, all those wonderful tastes. I could propably write an entire post about ice cream, and I guess I just did. How deep. Anyways, I am really tired, and will be back on track with (hopefully) more enjoyable posts Hope you alle have had a wonderful say so far, take care, and I'll be back tomorrow.
