Here we go. What have I done the last two weeks...? Eh, Homecoming, Dave left for the South Pole, I bought a new camera, parent/teacher conferances, yearbook cover, snow and now it's Halloween...
Homecoming.
So I was planning on wearing my only nice/pretty dress, the black with pink on it, that I've had for a couple of years. But it didn't work out, it wasn't a homecoming dress, so early Saturday Kris and I went to Macy's and after going through the entire store, which really big, we found one dress that might work for me. It's a gold/silver/glittery/weird dress, halterneck and kind of a dress that's me. And even though I really wanted to wear my converse, I couldn't cause converse shoes and a dress doesn't go along that well, so I had to wear my heels. Anyway...
Lars drove me to the homecoming dance, and I paid for my ticket, and got in. It was A LOT of candy, all over. Hanging from the ceiling, laying on the floor, glued to the walls, it was every where.
And people were jumping, but they called it dancing. And if they played a hip-hop song it was like being in a porn movie, it was crazy. Hehe.
I went to the homecoming alone, danced kind of alone all night, and then I walked home, alone. Everybody around me were having a great time, but nobody had time to talk/dance with me. So I guess I was like the freak doing nothing, you know?
We lost the homecoming game btw. Can't remember the score, but we lost. I went with Kris and Dave, and it was freezing. I was one of the few people who actually put on clothes. Almost every student had letters on their stomach, it looked sooooo cold.
Last Thursday Dave left for the South Pole. Right now he's probably in New Zealand, but he's kind of on his way to the South Pole. And he won't be back untill February.
The Tuesday before he left, we all went out, yeah you already know that story.
Last weekend I bought a camera. A Canon Rebel Xsi, I like it. One day I'm gonna buy a better lense, but the standard simple one works for now. And on Monday I went out for two hours, to take some fall pictures; around the school, down main street, then up again, stopped at Pick 'n Save and bought some flowers for Kris, and then I got back home. It was really cold, and it started to snow at one point, but.. I was as tough as only real Norwegians can be in America. I kept on walking, and eventually the snow stopped :D
I didn't get any cool pictures in case you were wondering.
Yesterday Kris and I went back to school around 6 o'clock, because of the famous parent/teacher talks. Man, I hate those things.
None of the teacher said anything bad though. I thought every teacher would tell things you know. Like my math teacher, I'm always late for first class, but he didn't mention it. Hehe... Oh well, I didn't complain. At all.
My yearbook teacher, Ms. Whipkey and Kristin ended up talking about Anders... hehe. Because Whipkey's kid, Henry likes Anders, but not Anders' friends Mitch and Alex. And I can totally see why.
I'm done with the yearbook cover. FINALLY ! There's still things I want to change and I'm not sadisfied, but the deadline was on Monday so... now it's too late...
Well, now it's almost November so people are talking about snow! How can people wish for snow? If you want snow, go to the South Pole and visit Dave, go to Alaska and visit Palin, I don't know, but we don't need snow right here where I am.
I've heard it snowed in Norway? Haha... I'm still walking around in my shorts and t-shirt. Some days, some days are really cold to :P
Halloween - the real American deal, not just a wannabe thing we have in Norway
I ended up doing nothing, just watching Beetlejuice with Lars. I had fun, oh yeah, but I wish I had some friends so I could dress up. I would have been the coolest kid in Stoughton if I decided to dress up.
Back to my point here, if you haven't seen Beetlejuice, see it. I loved it, but maybe because I love just about everything Tim Burton comes up with. Like... eeh, Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Edward Sissorhand, just to name a few. He has a new movie coming out soon, the new version of Alice in Wonderland. Can't wait.
OH ! I need to tell you about the Dells...
Dave ended up going with us btw. So Kris, Dave and I were going up to the Wisconsin Dells for the GLBRC and Kris' boss were going with her husband and their foreign exchange student, Elise, from Porsgrunn... Hehe
Anyway, Nancy, Roger and Elise got this big suite, and Kris and Dave got a really bad, small hotell room, so Nancy invited me to stay with them. Partly because Elise had her own room, and she would be all alone if I didn't go. hehe
The suite I ended up in was AMAZING !
It had two of those electrical fire places, build in the walls, it had a tv in every room, a jacuuzi in the middle of the living room, a bathroom for each room... it was just awesome...
And the hotel, Chula Vista, had an indoor waterpark with tons of different water slides. To take one of the water slides you had to sit on a tube and with another person, so me and Elise picked up a double tube and walked all the stairs up to the top of it. And it took like 5 seconds to get down. Hehe. The coolest part of one of them was that it was like a toilet kind a. You got shot into a big round thing, and you were spinning around and around, loosing speed while you got down to the "bottom" of it, and then you had to hit a certain whole in middle/bottom to get out. Just like when you flush the toilet. AWESOME ! So much fun, can't describe it... I loved it. If somebody is coming to visit me, I wanna bring you to that place.
