My friend Guðbjörg was doing her final project before graduating photography. She had this really artistic idea to combine pictures of me & something that's related to me.
So, in the three pictures of me she photoshopped trees, the sky, a dock, the ocean, birds & a bit of my house. All in all it kinda represents freedom, which in my opinion is the most important thing in life.
I really like the outcome, she's going to be a great photographer!
Actually it was like 3 days ago, I just haven't gotten used to it myself. When I'm walking in a parking lot I avoid looking towards car windows because its weird seeing my own reflection.
I think blonde hair looks so much more delicious! specially with curls
It's so dark outside, the exams are starting and it's so cold that making something brighter in my life seemed to make sens.
However, I'm not really sure it suits me, I haven't made my mind up yet....
+ I'm going to saudi arabia in less than 40 days, heeh.. oh well maybe with the blonde hair they'll be willing to pay more for me than 12 camels like last time in Marocco...
How do you know it's cold outside and it's not just you whining??
When people start walking on water!!
There are actually more people walking on the water than on the sidewalk !
These were the best. They just had skates on their shoulders, came to the pond and changed into skates and took some moves while passing over. How cute!
How did the first person that walked over know that it was frozen enough??
I know this is normal for Iceland, & other cold countries... I guess I've just been living too long abroad so I find this hilarious!
Lava covered with Ice... ironic
& this is only the beginning, before I know it everything will be covered with snow :( has it always been this cold in Iceland in the winter?
Today I even parked my car illegally right outside the school. I was sitting in my car studying because it was too cold to walk from where ever I would find a free parking space and into the school library. I Parked close to get access to the internet hahaha
Why is it so cold? why why why!! Iceland should be evacuated immediately and we should all be relocated in florida or spain or even australia until the weather becomes bearable again! The second skin pants people wear to go skiing and hiking... yeah I wear those under my jeans to work...
My hair
I went to the blue lagoon some days ago. Say no more, It's like someone ejaculated in my hair and then put mustard & cottage cheese just to add to the fun. not cool...
My new sports bra
I went to buy a sports bra, like 50km away, and this girl working there forgets to take the anti theft device off. I was driving home all excited to go to the gym, it was cold and I was very vulnerable and was close to crying when I realized the stupid thing was still on.
You have like 3 responsibilities when it comes to me buying something and you can't even get that right.. ok I'm joking about that bitchy part. but still when I went back I felt like a shoplifter because the girl didn't believe me. why? because I didn't come straight back the next day... Hello I live an hour away, driving here just to take this off the next day would have costed half the price of the damn thing. Mind you, I had already told her I lived in neverland.
dating sites
STOP sending me 20 emails a day. If I'll ever really hate someone this is what I'll do to them, I'll sign them up at 10 different dating sites & the sites will then take care of making the persons life miserable. You can unsubscribe all you want, but its like as soon as one site has your email they all unite in annoying you.
maybe it's a hint..
Flight plans
My flight schedule for the trip in Dec is so tight that NOTHING can be changed or delayed. Everything has to fit exactly because I want to arrive there before 2013 begins.
I get an email from Etihad which is the main company I'm flying with, I see the email on my phone with the headline "ATTENTION, there has been a change in your flight plans" I couldn't open the attachment so being the psychotic mess that I am, I obviously assume the worst, I already imagine the conversation with the other airlines explaining that I have to change my ticket, thought of how it would be celebrating new years stuck in an airplane over kazwatkzitsan, and then thought of whether I should use fake tears to get the other airlines mercy so I wouldn't lose my ticket with them.
I come home and this is what was waiting for me..
I leave 10 minutes earlier and arrive 20 minutes earlier. are you kidding me? hahaha
I should have spent more time working on my fake tears
School
I have been so careless recently with school I'm in no way proud of myself. I just got so sick of it! I really love what I'm studying, I just feel like it's being forced so much upon me to read something within a timeline that I'm like a horrible teenager going through a resistance period. I'm so screwed that instead of even trying I should just start decorating cardboard boxes so my future home (box) that I'll live in after I fail school will at least be pretty.
Hashtags
In some cases it's very useful and helps me understand the meaning behind the picture... but in most cases, it doesn't even make sense... This is an example that I took from a friend on facebook.
This was all in the description of one picture. I feel like a grandma that doesn't get "the youngsters nowadays" What does "insta -cool,-good,-life,-mood" even mean? does anyone even know ??
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get going back to my cave.
There are no penguins anywhere! Why are there no penguins? We need more penguins.
You know how when your in a really good mood, you jump in your bed, jump out of bed and around the apartment dancing...
I do that all the time, I don't leave my bed unless it's in a jump.
ironically enough, jumping in bed has now left me stuck in bed :(
last night I was jumping in bed, jumped out of it, like I do every day, except this time I fall, next thing I know mom was standing over be because I had been screaming so loudly it woke her up. I spent the night in the emergency room. I had torn the muscle in my inner thigh badly... I couldn't stop thinking about Joey in friends that time he broke his arm jumping on his bed. Thank god I didn't have to give the doctor any explanation as to what I was doing when I fell.
I am only able to see the funny side of this now, after voltaren cooling cream, ridiculously strong pills from the doctor & elevation of the leg. I can't really feel it but as soon as I do something I get reminded.
Only 3 blogs ago (if I remember correctly) I was just talking about how much fun it is to jump in your bed. I guess that was the universes way to give me a push to grow the hell up haha!
Someone like him would come up to me going "Hi there, my name's Ted. Nice to meet ya"... well let's just say I wouldn't start kicking, screaming and running for my life. He's not my dream type in any way, don't get me wrong. But a serial killer? No way. Which makes it all so scary.
You learn to avoid people likely to harm you, but then the people most likely to do so are the ones that are the closest to you. Or, like in Bundy's victims cases, a handsome young guy that asks you for help since he broke his arm and it is now in a (fake) cast. (One of his tricks to lure girls into walking off with him to deserted places)
This looks like a fun guy, on the left he looks more like a jim carrey kinda guy rather than the "I'm going to kill you" kinda guy.
All except the first picture was taken after he was arrested so obviously that will make a guy look a bit washed up but there's no denying you can see the charm he has, in the smile and all... I can understand how he could trick so many girls into thinking he's all innocent.
Now why all these thoughts about some Ted Bundy guy??
Today I've felt like a complete social retard. I have spent over 6 hours learning about psychopaths and watching the movie, documentary, biography, interview and more about Ted Bundy. I don't really know if I'm being arrogant assuming everyone knows who he is since I probably read all about him in psychology books, buuut
For those of you who don't know Ted Bundy.
He was a teen when he found out that his sister was actually his mother, I mean, that alone is enough to mess seriously with someones head.
He raped & killed over 30 young women (that he has confessed to)
He had necrophilia, which means that he fantasied about having sex with corpses. Which he did, after killing the girls he'd have sex with them again.
The word "Serial Killer" was invented in order to describe Ted, before him the word didn't even exist.
He knocked his girlfriend up while on the death row, his daughter is now 25 years old but her mom changed her name in order to protect her... wonder if she even knows she's the daughter of Ted Bundy?
For a long time before he was killed he got over 200 love letters a day from random girls claiming they were in love with him. Hybristophilia is actually a known paraphilia where people are sexually aroused or even fall in love with someone known to have committed a serious crime. Even Josef Fritzl received a lot of these letters after being charged.
I honestly don't even know what I think of the guy anymore. First I wanted to kill him myself but at the end of all the digging I felt bad for him and not sure if he can be held accountable for his actions. He couldn't feel sympathy for anyone, so he doesn't feel bad when he's taking an innocent life. He only regretted doing things because "society had taught him to feel bad for this and that" not because he actually felt bad. We go all crazy thinking "of course it's wrong, how can someone not see that?!" but imagine if you lack the ability to feel anything for another human being, then it's not so black and white anymore.
The movie "Ted Bundy" was the one I watched. It was good but made me never want to trust anyone else ever again.
Here's the interview with him the day before he got electrocuted where he truthfully answers what made him the way he was. He brought a lot of insight to psychology into a psychopaths mind, maybe he shouldn't have been killed just for the sake of science.?? hmmm, maybe using him as a lab rat for a couple of years to maybe find a way to stop serial killers sooner would have been a way to use his existing to at least some good.
My favorite quotes by Ted Bundy (the real Ted Bundy, not the character in the movie)
1. "We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow"
Ok, ouch. But true, as soon as someone does something so horrible we don't look at them as humans anymore because we don't like to think that someone human could do such a thing... but just taking into consideration that they're actually born in the environment around us and could be anyone is scary.
2. "Well-meaning, decent people will condemn the behavior of a Ted Bundy, while they're walking past a magazine rack full of the very kinds of things that send young kids down the road to become Ted Bundy's" & "I've met a lot of men who were motivated to commit violence just like me. And without exception, without question, everyone of them was deeply involved in pornography."
First of all, I think it's funny how he uses his name as a verb. As if Ted bundy isn't his name anymore but the adjective to describe someone like him. He believed that with all the fucked up environment we are exposing to our kids we don't realize that although it doesn't affect the majority of the people it is pushing the minority over the edge to act upon their fantasies. Sure YOU don't start killing people because of porn, but what the society is making "normal" through porn is what makes these guys tick.
3. "I don't feel guilty for anything. I feel sorry for people who feel guilt."
Ok, no wait, what? that's such a paradox. haha ironic saying that you don't feel anything for other people, but as your explaining yourself even further you say "I feel sorry for people who..."
4. "What's one less person on the face of the earth, anyway?"
