May 17 - Constitution Day - Ice, soda and sugar shock

So here was the day again. Our constitution day. The day many people associate with balloons, ice, flags and soda. The day started early... Very early. About 07.55, cause it was time to get the flag hoisted up. It was hoisted up with pomp and splendour. And we sung the national anthem. And of course we started to high, so it was impossible to reach the high notes so early in the morning.
The kids ran in every direction, and they were very quarrelsome, as usual.
The breakfast was served and the scrambled eggs went everywhere. 

After loads of this and that we were on the way to the city. And the kids were arguing and whimpered in the backseat.

Well in the city, we had to find parking space. So we parked outside Nature Historic museum in Bergen. And from here it went only downwards. Literally! 

We went down the hill, and up to the theater. My God how many people. There were people EVERYWHERE! It should not be allowed. Baby carriages, Bunad, buekorps, screaming kids, busy busy busy! And we ended up in a pedestrian crossing. Would have thought we were in a highway. EVERYONE was going past us.

And the kids argued, pushed and hit each other, and us, and was absolutely completely impossible.
One snapped, and then everything started.The bustle about balloons, russe-cards and soft drinks were always present. I have never experienced such a strenuous 17 May.

Yet another reason why I should not have more than 2 children. And they should be behaving nicely. Otherwise, I´ll get crazy banana.
The parade lasted forever, and the Brann players came of course last. Handsome they were!
Took a lot of great pictures, and afterwards, the demands about balloons were even stronger.

Easier said than done, and Sunniva (my niece) disappeared. She was gone, so I was looking after the 2 impossible ones. Hooray! So I was soaked in coke, kicked at, spit on, chewed on, stepped on, etc.
After a lot of searching, Sylvia got a phone that Sunniva was found, and Sylvia collected her on her way up the stairs to Johannes Church.

Then it was FINALLY time for spring rolls and cotton candy. The day was not that bad after all ...

17 mai - Nasjonal dagen - Is, brus og sukkersjokk

Ja, da var 17. mai her igjen. Dagen mange forbinder med flagg, is, gassballonger og brus.
Og dagen begynte tidlig... Rettere sagt klokken 07.55, for NÅ skulle flagget opp. Og det ble heist opp med pomp og prakt, og en nasjonalsang som ble lagt opp altfor høyt for så tidlig på dagen.
Barna løp alle retninger, og kranglet som vanlig.
Frokosten ble servert og mye søl ble det.

Etter mye om og men kom vi oss avgårde til byen. Og barna kranglet, og sutret i baksetet.

Vel i byen, måtte vi finne parkering, så vi parkerte med Bergen Naturhistoriske Museum. Og herfra gikk det bare nedover... Bokstavelig talt.
Vi gikk ned bakken, og opp mot teateret. Herregud så mye folk. Det var folk OVERALT! Burde ikke vært lov. Barnevogner, bunader, buekorps, skrikende unger, hektisk hektisk hektisk! Og vi endte opp i et fotgjengerovergangfelt. Kunne trodd vi stod i en motorvei. ALLE skulle forbi oss.
Og ungene kranglet, dyttet og slo, og var helt fullstendig umulige.

En klikket, også var det igang. Maset om ballonger, russekort og brus var alltid til stede. Har aldri opplevd en så slitsom 17.mai.

Enda en grunn til at jeg ikke skal ha mer enn 2 barn. Og de skal være snille. Ellers blir jeg koko.
Toget varte og rakk, og Brann spillerne kom jo selvfølgelig sist. Kjekke som de var! Sånn er det jo alltid, at de kommer langt bak.
Tok mange fine bilder, og etterpå skulle det kjøpes ballonger.

Lettere sagt enn gjort, og Sunniva (min niese) forsvant. Vekk var hun, så det ble leteaksjon, og jeg måtte passe de 2 umulige. Hurra! Og jeg ble dynket i cola, sparket på, spyttet på, gnafset på, tråkket på etc.
Etter mye leting, fikk Sylvia en tlf om at Sunniva var funnet, så hun ble hentet av Sylvia.

Så var det ENDELIG tid for vårruller og sukkerspinn. Dagen var ikke så aller verst like vel...

The new and cool thing...

Yes! There are still some that not uses Autotune, God bless them... Not the Autotune users but the others. And its a relief that someone still can make proper music. And I have a special group in my head. Its... 

The Overtones

 

These guys!

So charming and musical guys as The Overtones are rare. The way they mix their voices is so perfectly blended. And with Lucky rocking the bass-tune. So utterly awesome!
Its those kind of songs you just want to wake up to, and walk around smiling all day. There is SOMETHING! Something really really special with these guys.

Everyone of them brings something special to the group! Mark, Lucky, Mike, Darren, Timmy. The worlds most charming, young men.

So sweet!

(I'm sorry that the video is so small)

Its a relatively new group, and I found them while I was searching for artists similar to Olly Murs. I'm glad I did. Search for them I mean. Now there isn't a day without me listening to them. They bring joy to my life, and a new spark.
I don't know if I am special feeling this way, or that EVERYBODY feels like this, but I am sure that its The Overtones that makes my day complete.

And I have managed to make my sister love them as well. I feel some sort of accomplishment here. That is not an easy task. My sister is very picky when it comes to music I like.

So I guess you guys have done something right. 

So, thank you guys!!!
Awesomeness has reached a new level

And for those of you that does not know about these marvellous guys, then its time to google them. Its worth the 0.21 seconds it takes.

Ikke vet jeg, men symptomene er ihvertfall der. Har også tatt flere tester, og jeg heller mot en ADD-diagnose-likhet. Det som irriterer meg er at søsteren min som har nesten ikke vært hos psykolog allerede holder på med utprøving av Ritalin, og jeg som har gått hos psykolog i over 1 år, ikke har kommet særlig nærmere noe som helst.

Your ADD Test Results

Dr. Amen suggests: "More than 20 items with a score of three or more indicates a strong tendency toward ADD. Your total number of items with a score above three is 43.
Based on this calculation, you HAVE a strong tendency toward ADD

Your ADD Type Results
Your results indicate that it is likely you have ADD
Your results indicate that it is unlikely you have Inattentive ADD
Your results indicate that it is likely you have Over-focused ADD
Your results indicate that it is likely you have Temporal Lobe ADD

Your results indicate that it is likely you have Ring of Fire ADD

Så hva sier dere?
Her scorte jeg 90, og ergo, så skal jeg da ha AD(H)D.

If you scored...	You may have...
70 & up 50 - 69 35 - 49 25 - 34 0 - 24	Adult ADHD  Moderate ADHD   Mild ADHD  Borderline ADHD  No ADHD likely

Funky Facebook Statuses

Yes! I love Facebook! And I love having a funky status. And I don't know how many times google has been my faithful friend on that area.
So here are a few examples.
This is a short, informative blog-post.
Ta-dah!

1. One day your prince will come. Mine just took a wrong turn, got lost and too stubborn to ask for directions.
2. When someone rings the doorbell, why do dogs always assume it’s for them?
3. Wanted to kill the sexiest person alive…But suicide’s a crime.
4. Why is a newspaper ten times more interesting when somebody across the table is reading it?
5. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
6. Marriage is a sort of friendship recognized by the police.
7. Statistically, 132% of all people exaggerate.

8. Some people come into our lives & leave footprints on our hearts. Others come into our lives & make us wanna leave footprints on their face.
9. Just wanted to let you know that you are my BFBFF… Best Facebook Friend Forever..
10. You miss 100 percent of the shots u never take.
11. Me and the gummy bears have a plot to rule the world but shhhhh its a secret.
12. I think my neighbor just caught me stealing his Wi-Fi internet.
13. Teaching your own mother how to use Facebook is like willingly signing your own death warrant.
14. I swear my pillow could be a hairstylist I always wake up with the weirdest hairdos.
15. A guy knocked on my door today asking for a donation for the local primary school’s pool. I went away and came back with a cup of water….. Is that wrong?

And there it was again, the horrid feeling

Yes, I am sure there is someone who understands what I'm talking about.
I am exhausted, depressed and sick.
Lately I have been working a lot, and I have been getting more and more depressed. Although I don't look like I am depressed, I still am. I have learned how to conceal it from the world. I don't like being looked at like I am weak.
The feeling you get when you don't manage to do something, that is one of the feelings I have. I feel like I cant do anything, and that I suck at everything. I hate myself, I hate the way I look, I hate that I cant do anything without fucking it up.
I have never been happy with myself, and I have never complimented myself. I am not worth it.
I have complexes about everything. I hate my face, my breast, my thighs, my belly, my feet, my fingers, my arms, my toes, my hair, my my weight etc... The only thing I am happy with are my eyes! But still, it does not help to have beautiful eyes, when the rest of me is ugly as hell...

I am in a viscous circle. Like if I am unhappy, then I tend to eat, when I eat, I gain weight, when I gain weight, I get fat, when I'm fat, I get unhappy, and then I eat...etc
I think I am in more than just one viscous circle. I have one for my weight, one for my mind, one for my clothes etc.

I am not suicidal, but I do hate myself. I am quite extreme... I like cutting my arms, cause it makes the pain I have elsewhere, go away. But right now, I cant do that, cause I have work, and then its easy to see, and then I´ll get questions about it. And I think children should not be exposed to my psychological problems. So now I am like a bubble, ready to explode, and who knows what will happen when it finally does. I wont even think about it.
What would you do if I fell in front of a bus?

You may say I am a cutter, but I cant help it. I am not saying I like doing it, I say its a necessity. Its my way of handling stuff. Along with music, but sometimes cant music do it for me.
I know my friends hate that I do it, and trust me, I'm trying not to do it. But its so hard when it has been my solution to everything, and then its not allowed more.

Would you come to my funeral? Would you miss me?

And I am sick... I have been sick for quite a while now, and I am fed up with running nose, coughing, sneezing, tired etc..

Feliz Navidad
