Apparently I forgot to submit my valentines, even though I have them ready. X_x
I guess there's always next week... |

It's amusing when you have to explain to someone, who doesn't know you very well yet, why you stayed behind when everyone else went inside and you have to say "it was because I was going to take a picture of myself". Kind of awkward. XD |

| Oh sweet Valentine <3 |
[Aug. 22nd, 2009|01:11 pm] |
Awwwww...I just saw the valentine's posts! I got 3...and as I figured the culprits were probably on my friends list or following my journal in some way I thought I'd show my appriciation here;
THANK YOU SO MUCH! You made my day brighter!
I was thinking of joining in on the "movement" this week too, but I figured the valentines I would make would be swept away in the flood...so I purposely left them for next week...so that the love will continue. ^^ |

| Sail Karlskrona |
[Aug. 15th, 2009|02:21 pm] |
 Wee, 1000th journal post!
Every year around this time my town, Karlskrona, has a festive event called "Sail Karlskrona" (or "Sailet" as it's more commonly know as). It takes place at the largest of the harbours and consists of first and foremost of a sort of exhibition of boats, mostly wooden large sail-ships. But also market stalls, carousels, resturant & beer tents and music performances are set up along the harbour.
This year they had decided to combine efforts with the Navy and have their open house event at the same time, so I expected there would be plenty of boats as the usual big ships were bound to be there as well as the military boats. But wow, what a disappointment! Four military boats of which two were almost the size of fishing boats and 1 ship made out of metal. That was it this year. Incredibly lame compared to previous years.
But I managed to entertain myself, having some food and looking out at the amazing view you have from Karlskrona's guest harbour...as well as checking out the cool little 18th-century styled military camp that I'm guessing a local military history group had set up, complete with men from Poland, Chech Republic and Sweden in 18th century uniforms and weapons. The Museum also had tents of their own, where women and men in aristocratic clothes from the same period socialized...and they also had a sign that they had free classes in dancing (ofc period accurate dancing) everyday at 5 pm, which I am very bummed that I missed.
I managed to catch this man while speaking on his cell. A true Kodac moment. XD

I'll split up my pictures from my Stockholm trip into several posts, mainly to spare you from having to wait for like a hundred pictures to load at once.

I will do a picture post tomorrow, but for now...here's my daily_lolita post. I am a little sad I didn't get any outfit pictures from the day AFTER the flea market as I felt quite pretty when attending Quarter Void 's birthday tea. Another time, another time. |

| Midsummer's Eve |
[Jun. 21st, 2009|02:47 pm] |
We had a BBQ at my place on Midsummer's Eve...unfortunately Bella ( ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ofinns) couldn't come due to unexpected circumstances, but I got to see Frida ( shizuka_85) and Maria ( shibahime) who I hadn't seen in a while and we had a good time together with my other friends Filip, Anders, Kim and my BF Daniel.
I was sporting my new half wig and Bodyline hairpiece, as well as my H&m dress that I've worn time and again already but haven't really posted any pictures of. Some of you may have seen a couple of these already from Frida's daily_lolita post.

| Happy Swedish National Day! |
[Jun. 6th, 2009|01:15 pm] |
At a recent party with relatives, one of my younger cousins broke out;
-"Ugh I want to move abroad..."
-"So did I, when I was your age" I replied.
That is one thing that has come with age for me, realising just how well off we are here in Sweden. I'd rather live here and travel often than acctually live abroad, not that I wouldn't try it for a while...but in the long run I still feel like Sweden is a pretty good place to be.
10 Random Things You Might Not Know About Sweden/Swedes
1. We are among those that drink the most coffee in the world.
2. We almost always take our shoes off when we enter someone's home, but unlike the japanese it's not common courtesey to have slippers to offer to your guests.
3. We are the second most internet-connected country in the world.
4. Our tap water is so clean that even some bottled water doesn't meet the same standard.
5. Housewives are very uncommon.
6. We subtitle foreign tv programs rather than dub them and start learning english in school from second grade and therefore around 89% of the swedish population can speak english.
7. We are a monarchy, but the royal family does not really have any power, they are more like ambassadors. The official name for Sweden is "The Kingdom of Sweden".
8. We have not been directly involved in a war in over 200 years.
9. The zipper is a swedish invention, so is dynamite and the pacemaker.
10. The Nobel Prize is handed out in Sweden, except for the peace prize...which is handed out in Norway due to a union we used to have with them over a 100 years ago.

| Oh My Dita! |
[May. 17th, 2009|10:06 pm] |
Ok, so Frida and I watched the Eurovision Song Contest, together with her brothers and her boyfriend last night....and when it's time for the 17th song, Germany's entry, the swedish commentators suddenly tell us that they had apparently flown in Dita von Tease to perform during their song...
And we both gasped and looked at each other.
Dita von Tease?
ON EUROVISION?????!!!
Hell, who cares about the songs anymore....JUST GIVE THE PRIZE TO DITA!!!
She's just elegantly in the background until about 2.13....
Well, in the end they didn't win....the right song did, Norway (aww isn't he adorable, in a little brother kind of way?), but man.....Dita von Tease sure did make it worth watching the whole 3,5 hour long contest. |

Ok, so I haven't really been excited about the Matthew Williamson collab with H&M....but oh man...I love this new commercial so much I almost want to buy something just because of it.
