Only five months to go! Impressive, if you ask me XD I can’t believe I’m almost done with school. I mean what does one DO afterwards? 17 months ago

QUIRKY, QUIZZICAL, QUACK

... Yes, I’m a bit of a quack. And I’ve been defined as quirky more than enough times. As to quizzical, my love to question everything and everyone is a large part of why people want to kick me. 17 months ago

POLYLINGUAL

With four and a half languages, I consider myself to be pretty rounded in the language area, although I’m really only on European ones (I’m planning to learn Mandarin Chinese to stop the European flow). 17 months ago

OUTGOING, OPEN

New food? Let’s try it! New place? When can we get there? New people? Hi :) I find being open and outgoing is the only way to go through life. If I didn’t I’d probably feel as if I were missing out on potentially fantastic experiences. 17 months ago

NIGHT

Not an adjective, I’m aware. I’m terrified of the dark, and I don’t know why, just a case of nyctophobia, I suppose, and as much as I hate it, as much as I try to change it, I’m afraid it’s starting to define me – a lot. But if I manage to get over it, I’ll get back to this one. 17 months ago

MANIPULATIVE

Not nice, but it’s true. I actually find it fun to mold people’s minds to agree with me without letting them notice it. It comes in quite handy, I guess. But I am aware it’s not really a virtue. 17 months ago

LAID BACK

When I’m not running errands for school, I’m the most chilled person around. It actually tends to worry people that I don’t worry about things, ever. Everything can wait, I just live for the moment and take it as it comes – up to the last minute when I do everything like a hectimaniac. 22 months ago

KALEIDOSCOPIC

I’m constantly changing, I’m not a very stable person, I’m easily distracted, change my mind about things every few seconds, can never decide what to do, start doing something and then stop because I decided to do something else – It’s always me, I’m just switching around all the mental and physical functions I have – a bit like a kaleidoscope is always the same set of colourful plastic or glass or whatever, it’s just what’s where that changes :) 22 months ago

JUVENILE

Every bit of me wants to be young and happy and free. I don’t want anything holding me back, I don’t want responsibility, I’m quite happy when left to do whatever the heck I want. Pretty much your average teenage girl, except for all the girly stuff – and the idea of ever having children tempts me to run in the opposite direction very very fast. 22 months ago

INTELLIGENT

I know I’m intelligent, I tend to notice it more around stupid people. I don’t always like it, especially cause it raises people’s expectations as to what I’m capable of (I’m VERY lazy), but hey, apparently it’s a good thing. 22 months ago

HUMOROUS

I love humor in almost ever form, I see myself as being quite a funny person, although most of my own sense of humor derives directly from sarcasm and misfortune. But still, I’m always up for a good laugh, I’m the one people come to if they need cheering up (that, and I always have chocolate, which isn’t bad either). 22 months ago

GOOFY

Self explanatory, really. I like doing silly things in the wrong places, I dance in the street, sing in the supermarket (with air instruments, of course), play stupid pranks on strangers – and I like it :] I reckon if I act childish enough, adulthood will just get pushed back to the point where it’s squished to a pulp. Well, that’s the hope. 22 months ago

So, interesting facts about the U.S.!

1. The only wild venus fly traps in the World are found in the Carolinas

2. California is home to the World’s tallest living thing – a redwood tree of ginormous 367 feet!!

3. If you are ever lost in the Mojave desert, fear not, for there is a telephone booth there… somewhere.

4. It costs more to buy a car in the U.S. than it took Christopher Columbus to equip three ships and sail off to what he believed was Asia.

5. The original Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper – paper made from the Cannabis plant, which is today widely used (rather illegaly) for smoking.

6. – one more for bonus, cause it just came to mind – the thirteen stripes on the U.S. flag stand for the original thirteen states of America (I’ll leave you to figure out their names) 22 months ago

I’m afraid there are two for this one (but it’s my name’s initial, so I get an extra)
FLOWER POWER!

This is mostly because flowers are the first thing that come to mind when I think of the letter F, as it is closely related to my name. I guess I grew up to what people would expect of someone with my name, I love flowers, nature, anything green, anything wild and anything alive. I could spend days, literally, just sitting around in a forest exploring every nook and cranny, the peacefulness I find in nature is hard to describe.

FLIGHTY

Not much proud of it, but when put in front of a “dangerous” situation, my mind immediately goes to “fight or flight” – unless someone I care about is involved, I’m likely to run, leave, hide, or ignore the situation. I’m not very easily caught off guard and am quite untrusting of people generally, it’s probably also because of the fact that I’m easily scared, scared of the dark and don’t really like being surprised by someone jumping out of the door at me :] 22 months ago

EXPERIMENTAL

I love trying new things, even if it comes to things such as eating congealed blood, falling backwards off a six foot beer-case-tower into a few people’s outstretched hands or climbing Wales’ highest mountain (which I greatly regretted during the actual climbing part). Just the idea of doing something I have NEVER done before is quite exciting, and I have gotten some pretty great experiences out of it, such as scuba diving, quadbiking, bareback horseback riding, Arabian sweets too good to describe with words, and haggis, which is really not half bad. 22 months ago

DEVIOUS

Not always something I’m proud of, but I am, I guess. I have a big issue with lying, I lie so much it’s just become a natural instinct, I don’t think about it, I don’t mind it, it really doesn’t bother me much that I can really be a deceitful little ass. I tend to be able to sneak myself out of annoying situations and find it spectacularly easy to make others feel sorry for me when it’s really my fault, to blame others when I shouldn’t, and just generally to give people an impression of me which isn’t me at all. I’ve had people call me devious, devilish and deceitful several times (a week), but I’ve gotten over minding it. I guess nobody’s perfect, this is just a side of me that, well, I’m not proud of, but that comes in handy rather often, and is probably going to define me for a long time, seeing as I see no way to get rid of it. 22 months ago

Norway!
So, interesting facts about Norway:

1. The coast of Norway stretches over 20 000 kilometres

2. Norway means “Path to the North” from some language’s “Nord” for North and, well, “Way”.

3. Norwegians read more than any other country in the World

4. Norway and Sweden have a sort of U.S-Canada relationship (apparently not so hateful, just jokes and laughing about losses at football)

5. Roller Skis – Skis in winter and long rollerblades in summer. Perfect! 22 months ago
