getting to know Chicago

I'll tell you about my Thanksgiving and my Chicago trip, but right now I wanna put out TONS of pictures... And the stories behind everything is coming soon...

Happy Thanksgiving

Haha, Happy Thanksgiving y'all :P

I'm probably in Chicago by now, "celebrating" and eating.
My first and maybe last, hmmm...
Think I'll be back on Saturday, enjoy everyone. :D

Happy Thanksgiving, once again.

Christmas soon to come

Well, only 32/33 days to Christmas, that means crazy-ass shopping, wild money-spending, happiness and joy, lots of stress and a lot of decoration and lights...
Anyway, think I can be selfish enough to tell everybody what I want for christmas.

* new purple iPod(-chromatic)
* new, bigger lens for my camera
* winterboots (bought that myself, so nevermind :D )
* one tree hill dvd collection
* super way too sugar cute necklaces and earrings

Norway = porn freaks ?

So I got a big package from Norway, full of chocolate. 21 big chocolate bars, 4 Advent calenders, two Norwegian magazines and 4 Kvikk Lunch's.... :D

The magazines are the one with the funny story, cause I brought them to school to buy myself some friends for a moment... Haha...
They did, for two seconds. People gathered around wanting to look, they opened them and of course the ads and pictures in there are more sexual than what's allowed in America...
So people opened and went "WOW! Hang on! What kind of magazine is this?"
I can't find any pictures like the one that was in it online, put I found some Dressmann ads, that sends the same message...



Dressmann
is hoooot!

And selling underwear, NOT sex!




When are you too old for a christmas calender?
I'd say; NEVER!
But then again, I'm a childish kid, and I like it.
I'm the most childish person at school, in one way.
Everybody has like Jonas Brothers pictures in their lockers, and there's actually people who's obsessed with the Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, High School Musical, Cheetah Girls and Selena Gomez (and also obsessed with dating and talking about sex, nevermind, not the point)
They're like how we were when we were in 7/8th grade, only they're not....
And then you got me. :D
At high school, a senior and with a princess backpack...
And giggling/laughing all the time, some kind of hair band or some kind of hippie band in my hair, not that much and doesn't really care about what other people might think of me.
It's kind of like I'm the only one who dare to be childish.
At the beginning they were like whispering to me "You can't have a backpack like that, you in high school," and stuff like that, but now more people have actually told me that they like it. :D












Well, most of you know how I am and how I mix my "style".
(I don't think I got a style btw, it's just me.)

I'm not that weird, right? :P
You'll be the judge....

Tinkerbell

I have a new favorite movie; Tinkerbell... I think it's cute and funny, it makes me happy.

* The mouse's name is Cheese?
- It must be, he always comes when we yell it.

*What is the Queen's review?
- Well, you see. The queen comes here to review...

How can you not like Tinkerbell?


Eeeh. Other news... I'm sick... and everything is kind of falling apart...
My grandma had surgery, my mom had surgery and my aunt had surgery, kinda. A friend commited suicide last weekend, it's snowing and it's cold, I don't have any friends, and I look worst than ever... and there's nothing I can do to help.
Wanted to say to my family. Good luck, it probably won't help anything, but I don't know what to do, even though I wanna help, so badly... But you're in Norway/Dubai and I'm in America, and just to take a quick trip isn't really that easy.
Therefore, during Thanksgiving, I figured, I'm gonna be thankful for.... that we're still a family, and we're still alive :D

Love you ;D

Happy-Go-Lucky

too...
tired...
to...
write...
anything...

Happy-Go-Lucky
(it's a movie)

bummer !

Of course it was raining today. I've been braging about how warm and sunny it is here, so it just had to rain today.

Nothing special to report... Kris and I went to a concert... Stefan was singing in the Concert Choir and the Jazzkor. Yes, that is correct, Jazzkor, all Norwegian in this cute little Stoughton town.
Nothing special, really. The solo artists weren't really that good, but it was really funny watching people's facial expressions when they were singing. Some people are just too involved. And at one point I couldn't hold it anymore, so I just started laughing and it was really hard trying not to make a sound. (Lets put in a Daddy phrase; It's a miracle I didn't fly away at that time) Haha...

My cute Norwegian town btw, all the way through main street, every store/shop/gallery has a Norwegian flag.. And they have a Cheesers place where they sell "lefse" with sugar and cinnamon, they got the goat cheese and guess what they call it? Geitost :D I've never been there, put my grandparents were there when they where in town a couple of weeks back. Or maybe a month ago, I can't remember. Time is running soooo fast. I've been in America for almost four months. Lets see... 109 days? Is that correct? It seems like it so much more. Anyway, I left Norway July 19th...
It's been an amazing journey so far, and now we're planning on going to Hawaii. That'll be AWESOME!

I can't find a single picture with all four of us from camp :O :(


Hawaii ? <3

Haha. Lars is funny .

Hehe, well some new stuff about last night.
Yes, we all know who's the next President, so get over it.

No, just kidding :P
Anyway, last night Lars and I was trying to stay awake to see the Presidential speech, and of course we're both sooo tired and Barack is the last one to talk.
We're trying to stay awake right, and there's nothing to watch on TV, at all, it's only the presidential thing going on, and it's a lot of commercial, and we didn't really wanna watch all the analysis stuff that was on, so we ended up having a "web-cam-lesson". I taught Lars about my web-cam and different things you can do with it. It was really funny :P He/we took over 50 photos. Haha, it was so fun, I couldn't stop laughing, and it was really pain-ful.






And then, FINALLY, Barack Obama was gonna talk. He walks out on stage with his family (his wife's name is Michelle too btw, in case you didn't know that :P) and I can hear him saying something about today being the answer... And then I fell asleep. Of course. I was waiting for that one big time, and I end up sleeping. It's just typically me :D
But now I have seen it, I had to go online and watch it... Cause after all, I was only like less than three hours away. Soooo close to the next President and Oprah. Of course, how could I forget, Oprah was there too, in Chicago (cause that's where she lives and has her talkshow) but she was there to watch Obama...

Other than that I don't know what to say... Eeeh, it's Lene's birthday today. Congratulations Lene, you're awesome. Hope you had a good day. And right now, it's not your birthday anymore, for you, but I can still celebrate your birthday for at least two more hours. And guess what? I will, I'm gonna go eat some ice cream and watch Leno with Lars again. Hehe.







Happy birthday Lene, you rock my socks off :D

We created history...

(Or maybe we didn't create it, but we sure changed America)

Now, only ten minutes ago, American history was made.
The first black President of America will start leading January of 2009.

Barack Obama = 44th President, (and 1st black president)

Congratulations, and thank you

LOLLYGAG !

First of all, if you don't know what lollygag means, it's fooling around.
Another funny word; hornswoggle means cheating. And ishkabibble is a dismissive statement.
I'm having a lot of fun with words today :D

From Friday to Saturday I slept 3.5 hours. We were going to Madison Saturday morning and I wanted to bring my new camera, right? But then I needed to take the pictures that was on the camera and put them on my computer, but before I could do that I had to install this software, and then transfering all those pictures took... FOREVER... I wasn't ready to go to bed untill 3.30.AM and then Kristin woke me up at 7. We were going to Farmer's Market... And we went to Trader Joe's and the World Market. The world market was a neat store. It had things from all over... :P Gingerbread cookies from Sweden, VOSS from Norway, even sparkling water from Norway. It was just like Farris <3>

And on Sunday I had to do some extra credit chemistry work, because I changed classes, so it was a lot of stuff I needed to do, and I was working with it, for a LONG TIME. I did my make up homework untill 4.am. FOUR IN THE MORNING. And I wasn't really done, I just fell asleep cause I was soooooooo tired. And then I was up again at 6... Man, Monday was a funny day, I'm telling you. The two first classes was really energizing or something. I don't know. I had like a shit load of energy in those classes. Not like a hyper active, ADHD-kid. It was just insane. Like I was on crack, marijuahana, ecstacy, methanol. You name it. I was crazy!
And then the energy just died... From third hour and out I was slowly getting more and more tired.

Then I got home and I decided not to sleep, I wanted to stay awake and go to bed super early instead. But around 6 I fell asleep, without really knowing it :P and then Kristin got home and it was dinner..
And I wasn't tired anymore, you know. So Lars and I watched Leno, and Conan Brian, Letterman and the British guy...
Leno is the best talkshow/liveshow, especially on Mondays, cause that's when it's Headlines... hehe. That's really funny, you should watch it sometime.

Well... What else is new?
I'm watching the presidential thing right now. In less than three hours we have a new President and I know, you're not suppose to talk about your own political choises, specially now, but I'm totally hoping for Obama.
But then again, you can't vote based on Presidential candidates this time. McCain is gonna die before his four years are over, and Obama is gonna get killed, so you're actually voting for Vice-Presidents; Palin and Biden. And Palin is just... STUPID !
"I can see Russia from my house." Come on, seriously? You're trying to win votes so you can be the next vice-president, and that's what you come up with. Russia? What you can see from your house? Oh, and she was Miss Alaska. Not only is the music business turned upside/down because of looks, but when politics are going the same direction. This can't be good.
I don't know what yo say about Biden, but he's definitely not as stupid as Palin. Just because of that, he has my vote.
I know I can't vote, but you know how it is... :P People always has an opinion, so there you know how I'm thinking.

The thing I worked on, my chemistry make up thing; it got me up from and F to a B :D Just because of that one thing.
Roosevelt served three terms as president btw. Lars wanted me to let you guys know.
Back to my chemistry achievement. From a F to a B, just because of one assignment, and the other great thing about it, since it's two months late, they only counted as 80% as full score, so guess what !
I'm super sadisfied :D
My 1st quarter grades are sooo much better than my mid-term grades. Every "old" grade is now omproved, if possible. I think I'm kind of proud of my grades, for the first time in history... :P
(That was almost like the Raining Man song lyrics... hehe)
The only thing I'm not so happy about is my American History grade, but all the other grades are gonna be ass-kicking.

I'm sorry for my language btw. But there's something with "butt-words"...
(Butt actually means gun thing, but the bottom-back thing. Hehe)

Anyway it's almost Thanksgiving now.... And we're going to Chicago, yeah..........
Thanksgiving is 27th, and that's Stefan's birthday too.
And even though it's in November, I can still wear shorts. It's really cool. And then suddenly one day it's freezing again. Like there was some days back a week ago when it was sooo cold, I was wearing mittens inside, but now it's warm again. It's very cool So even though I'm in Wisconsin, THE coldest state in USA, we can still wear our summer outfits :D

And I have a new blog, about "interesting" stuff, and a Flickr.
My blog is kind of secret, if you want to know it, ask, but my Flickr is open for everybody. If you don't know what it is, it's a place on line where people put out there pictures and then other people can make comments and tell you like pros and cons about the pictures. So, my Flickr; http://flickr.com/photos/camillamichelle (it would be awesome if you could leave a comment, and I do already know that I'm not a very good photographer, so don't be dissapointed.)

Go Barack !
