pole fitness

Yaay, I'm back!!

It's so much fun I could spend hours there! It's also insanely difficult, bruises all over!!

I'm just happy people look at it differently now than some years ago, I'd probably be doing it anyways, but it's more fun when people don't think you're the fast track to becoming a stripper hahah! 

the most fun thing about it though is how fast you learn stuff, within the first 3 classes you'll definitely be able to hang upside down & spin in circles while letting go with your hands. Probably even in the first, but I guess it depends on your instructor

anyhow, I recommend trying it out at least, it's surprisingly fun! :D

p.s. pole dancing and pole fitness is not even close to being the same! 

what would you do?

I was watching this like crazy last week! I think it's because I don't want to study and this makes me feel a bit better about it because it's at least a bit related to psychology...

So anyways, they hire actors to do something that goes against our ethics & then they record peoples reactions..

They do this with all sorts of stuff...
unwanted flirtation
a waitress hitting on your boyfriend/girlfriend right in front of you
a dad rejecting her daughters boyfriend because he's black
bum bashing (the intro into that one seriously made me cry)

We all think we'd be the ones doing something & standing up but actually when all comes to all nobody does anything... We all look around pretending everything is alright to see if anyone else is reacting. & since everyone else is doing the exact same thing all you'll find is others being calm, when in fact they're doing the same as you thinking "wait, should i do something??" So basically at the end we are tricking ourselves into thinking everything is ok.... does that make any sense??

Here's one episode.. people actually walk past a kid that's lost. You'd like to think that if your kid would get lost someone would stop on the street and see if it's alright... buuut as it turns out almost nobody does.

I just went from one video to the next from the suggestions at the end of each video..

have fun!

he he he

Yesterday while looking for pictures of me & my sister together I stumbled upon so many random pictures, I have no clue why I saved them.

hahaha oh lennon! 

A shower of 27 minutes... 

25 minutes = reflections & deep thoughts about the meaning of life & the universe

2 minutes = actually cleaning yourself 

oh dear italy!

Funny point

Oh my god I really need one of those ! If I'm alone in the house, I simply don't wake up

A: LATEEER!

This shit does NOT work! :(

hahahahahhaah!!!

Happy birthday sys!

Yesterday my little sister (although she's taller than me now) turned 14 years old! 

I am so proud of that girl & can't believe how fast she's growing up

hahaha how cute!

2010 just after I moved back from Italy

the face our brother was desperate to teach us. 

I mastered it

From her birthday :))

dad's wedding. 

They're getting married in the background and we're just sitting there looking at stuff haha! 

Denmark last year

 

Legoland at a 7D movie.... where is this going to end??

& 2 of our primadonna yesterday

sibling row!

This is the one that she posted on my wall last month when it was my birthday! 

she's way better than me finding old pictures of us, I could only find the ones after 2008 when everything went digital in my world

& the last one, taken yesterday. Oh god look at that face, I'm going to be driving her everywhere armed with pepper spray to keep the guys away.

she's one of the bigger reasons why I miss Iceland when I'm away, I wish I could take her with me everywhere, but it's not legal for me yet haha!

anyways, happy birthday sys!

Ti amo!

bionda

Just had my hair colored.

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... 

brrrr

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

I am the lowest of the low

Confessions of a teenage drama-queen. 

The weather 

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.

#my#friend#*nameofgirl*#cocktail#rain#bad#weather#follow#followus#instacool#instagood#instalife#instamood"

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.

if you're happy & you know it..... jump on your bed

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!

kexlove

After a long hard day at work that made me want to curl up in bed, cry and never step out of the house again I got this present from work. 

A bottle of red wine and a gift certificate, yay! If that didn't restore my will to show up at work again I don't know what will ! 

"Stupidity isn't a handicap! Park elsewhere!" 

As I was stepping out of the car I notice this sign right in front of it... Just because of the awesomeness of the sign I moved my car  

Stooooorm

horrible weather

I just had to share this link with you. It's funny as hell, I laughed so much I had to pause it a couple of times so I wouldn't pee myself. I'm not exaggerating! 

The story behind this is that there has been horrible weather in Iceland, especially last weekend when the storm Sandy had just hit NY. The wind in NY went up to 128km/h while ours was 126km/h but occasionally going higher. Of course the altitude in NY is way lower than in Iceland so they had flooding and houses crumbling like packs of oreo's.

In Iceland however, we have too much pride to let weather stop us with this whole "we're vikings we can stand any type of weather" when actually they should have just had a national day off and not risking everyone getting hurt by going out into the storm.. the police emergency line got calls about tasks, roofs flying off houses, every minute for some hours which is insane considering Iceland only has 300.000 people. 

The schools didn't cancel classes until in the after noon, my friends school didn't give up until windows were being broken by flying objects and over 3 teachers had to go to the hospital after getting hurt from literally flying and crashing badly. You can only imagine having seen the video! haha 

& while all this is going on where is Katrín?? I'm driving this road... Sæbraut because my school refused to postpone a test that values 20% of my final grade. They didn't see enough of a reason to postpone the test.. Excuse me, a 10 meter long RV disappeared and was found far away smashed into pieces and you don't see reason enough to not risk 350 students wandering around since most of them don't have cars?

So anyway I had to drive for one hour to get to Reykjavík where I took the stupid test, which I by the way could in no way focus on since a bicycle literally flew past the window during the exam! But since I was already there I could just as well go to work too.  

Domino's made their home delivery time longer, there was the "right side" rule in many crossroads because the power was off the stop lights, and some places put a sign in the window to walk in another door because this one couldn't handle the wind. Just getting from my car and 150 meters into the school I needed help because I was taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps back, thank god some guy came to the rescue... On my way out I just kept sitting down and holding on to flagpoles to catch my breath because it was such a struggle, you can't imagine. 

then this happened.. fml

Oh and then a pizza flew into my window, never thought I'd use the window cleaners to get pizza off my car window!
