It's been such a great weekend! And I even had today off! ♥ Since greatest therese_chan was here to visit me for the weekend and she had a test today for a school she wants to get into, I took today off to keep her company! ^^
It was great to have her here for a few days, sicne we practically haven't met at all since the both of us left Japan. :( So it was great to spend a few days with her - even though I'm the most hopeless friend on earth, and made her come with me to work on Saturday! *faaaiiilllsss*
Other than working we watched some movies, Idol, Tsuba's D&R DVD, the FudoSide Tenimyu, read some manga, spent all our money at coffee shops, went shopping...

And speaking of shopping - I looooove all the clothes in the stores right now. So many pretty dresses and skirts and cardigans and uwaaahhh, I want new clothessss! Even though I really don't need to... but I want...

Random end to this post - I literally put my hand on fire on Friday! \^_^/ I so fail at life! ^^;

Though it doesn't really matter that it's Friday, since I work both Saturday and Sunday. That's what I get for having a few days off at the beginning of the week. ^^; Though I don't mind working this whole weekend; I'm happy for the money, since I spent too much money in Finland and on the cruise on my way home. ^^;

I've been too lovesick for takitsuba these past few days. Been talking about them constantly at work... talking about concert-memories, songs, videoclips and... ahhh. I need to get back to Tokyo!!!
I started thinking about Tsubasa's WW show on his birthday last year when Takki was there and it almost made my cry, since I miss them so much. They were so happy, wonderful, cute, beautiful... and happy together that day!!! Want them back! I want, want, want! >_<

Yesterday at work, I cut my finger quite badly - I had to steal borrow a bunch of band-aid's from work just so I'd be able to function normally at home. It still hurts. :/ I'm too clumsy. :///// I think I should've gone to the hospital and get stitches but... I don't want to. :/
And speaking of hospital's - did anyone get the swine-flu vaccination yet? I haven't, but I guess I should, soon...

Back from Finland! Heard it's been a massive chaos at work for a few days - can't have been because I were away, can it? ^_~

Either way, Finland was nice. It was great to meet the grandparents again for a few days. Though I've eaten So. Freakin. Much. these past few days, so I think I'm going to be full for weeks and weeks to come!

Some shopping was made, too - found a nice winter-jacket at Seppälä. And some other nice things. I also bought Britney Spears new perfume, "Circus". It smells soooooo nice. ♥ Most people who know me in real life knows I've used Britney's "Fantasy"-perfume for years and years;... I loved this new fragrance now, though, so maybe I'll finally change and wear something other than "fantasy". XD

Now, sleep sounds like a good plan - need to get to work early tomorrow! ^^

Happy Halloween, or if you're in Sweden - ha en trevlig Allhelgona! ♥

For once I'm not going to a halloween party; I was invited to one but sadly I can't go because me, my dad and my sister just planned a sudden trip to visit my grandparents in Finland. I haven't seen them for ages and, well, it was about time for us to go and visit them. ^^ The reason for the sudden trip is that I actually have a few days off now - I don't work until Thursday next week since, appearently, my employee thinks I have worked "too much overtime" and that I have too many hours of overtime saved up, and they want us to get rid of as many as possible before next year. (They realized this NOW, when November is just a few days away? -___-)
Either way, I am hoping to get most of my overtime taken out as cash instead, but well - a few days extra weekend seemed pretty well needed, and thus - a trip to the grandparents in Helsinki! (curiosa_cabinet, you don't happen to be close to Helsinki or Porvoo around the beginning of next week? ^^)

Tonight I'm staying at my mom and dad's house - it feels strange to be back, in a sense. I'm not in my old room, since my little sister's already taken over my old room, so now I'm in her old room, on the floor. It's almost completely empty save for a writing desk and the bedsofa I'm sleeping in. :3

In other news - a few months ago, around may or so, I started looking for a new job... I sort of gave up on the job-hunting, though, since I randomly and suddenly bought an apartment and the pay at my current job was too good to give up... anyway. One of the jobs I applied for called me yesterday, and wanted me to come for an interview and try working for them for a few hours next week. And I said yes - it can't hurt to try, can it? ^^ I'm excited, though as said I don't think the pay is good enough... but who knows? And I didn't tell either of my boss' yet... I don't think I will until I've been to the interview and seen how it feels and everything. ^^b

I got a pair of new winter-shoes/boots from my mom today! ♥ I am so spoiled. (#^_^#)


I love them to no end; they're warm and cosy and a tad too big which makes it possible for me to have double pairs of socks in them. I don't know if I've mentioned this but I'm freezing ALL the time. Though now, with these shoes, I feel ready for snow! Bring it on, Swedish winter, yo! o\(-_-)/o
Though, no that's not really true, since I still haven't bought myself a proper winter-coat. I have the same trouble every year (except for last year since the Japanese winter hardly isn't winter at all - another reason to miss Japan!!) with finding coats. Either they're too big and bulky, ot they're too heavy, or too fluffy. Or too short or too long. Or they rustle/makes too much noise when you move. Or they're not warm enough. Or some other silly reason that makes me hate them. ^^;;; I think I'm not just made for cold weather.
I live a life full of hardships, I know!

However, there is one thing that's nice with winter; that you can spend all your freetime and money at coffee shops! ♥♥♥ I am one of those people that loves hanging arouond in coffee shops for hours just sitting down with a few friends just talking about everything while sipping a cup of chai latte and eating a sweet cake... ahhh. ♥ It's my favorite hobby, save for Johnny's (Which is more like a lifestyle than a hobby, though. XD).

This is a picture from my latest visit. A sun-dried tomato/mozarella Foccaccia at my favorite coffee shop in Stockholm. ♥


I was watching Youtube videos the other day and found one of SMAP and Coldplay singing Coldplay's Viva la Vida. (Viva la Vida is currently my favorite song in the world since the former Swedish Idol singer Darin's made a fantastic cover of that song!! ♥).
HERE! is the SMAPxColdplay version.

And continuing to look though SMAP/Coldplay at YouTube, I found a fancam of Coldplay singing SMAP's Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana, in Japanese. It's absolutely wonderful and am so impressed by, well, everything!! It's wonderful!! ♥ Find the video HERE!

I slept for 12 hours last night. My body's really not feeling the joy of working every weekend for several weeks in a row. ^^;

And this was all really random - sorry!! m(____)m

Starbucks + Sweden=♥♥♥ I've been waiting for this day!! \^____________^/ Though, the スタバ will probably be inside Arlanda Airport so I guess you need to check in to get to the planes to get your Caramel Frappuchino??

But, yeeeeyyy, Starbucks in Sweden!!!!! \^____________________________^/

No I shouldn't look though old takitsuba-pics on the computer. No I shouldn't look through old takitsuba-rabu-clips. I really shouldn't have. It only makes it worse. :/

Not cool. -___-

I suppose I'll just go and eat dinner instead and try to think about something else...!

I hope he got even more bananas for presents this year. ^_~

Thank you, Tsubasa, for always being you and always being wonderful. I can't wait to get to see you (and your aikata-kun) again.

Happy Birthday; I hope it's been a great one. ♥

I has internetz again! \^_______________^/

Two days completely without emails, blogs, lj, updates, facebook... I was ready to die. It's okay to live without internet if I don't have computer-access at all. I don't really know why but to have the computer sitting right there, but not being able to get online. Ahhh, it was awful!! *needs some serious distance*

So the week's been really tough, just like I thought it would be. I've been working overtime every single day since Monday and I'm going to work tomorrow too. X_X I don't really feel like it, but it'll work out somehow. The cold I had a few weeks ago also came back full force - today I lost my voice completely since my throat is so messed up. :/ Not okay, yo! >_<
Though after tomorrow afternoon I'll at least get Sunday off so I'm going to just ~*~*~relax~*~*~

Somehow it feels like maybe I wouldn't actually get sick if I didn't work so much all the time? ^^;;; Though it's worth it; Japan's getting closer and closer... :3


And speaking of Japan - I made Okonomiyaki at work today! I had planned to buy the Okonomiyaki sause premade at one of the japanese foodstores in Stockholm but when reading the ingredients-list I found out there is Oyster-sause in it and since the Okonomi's were put on the vegetarian-menu... so it didn't feel like oyster-sause/vegetarian-dish were a big success together. So I had to make my own sause which was quite tricky since my tastebuds are so messed up from the cold and I had no one to ask at work about the taste since no one's tasted it before. But in the end I think I managed okay with both okonomi's and the sauce. XD
I was so happy since the head-chef suddenly came up to me by the end of service, saying, "Emma, there was a man here, and he said he's been to Japan and he was extatic about your Okonomiyaki's! He talked about eating them in Japan and was super-excited about yours now, too!" And then he said that he's also thought they'd tasted perfectly and I went all, "♥♥♥!!!" It was really sweet and I'm happy someone who knew what it was supposed to taste like enjoyed it. :3333

And, I want to go to the D&R cons. -_________________________________________-

Another weekend's passed by. It's been a good one, but too short - like always. XD Yesterday, I went to the Eastasian museum with my little lister, and listened to a very interesting sort-of "lecture" about Johnny's and Johnny's fans. It was a friend of mine who held the lecture and I was very happy to see that so many people showed up to listened to it! ^_^~♥
After that me and my sister went to eat dinner at an asian buffet nearby my apartment and after that we bought lots of candy and chocolate and chips and popcorn and whatever else you can imagine and then we had a sleep-over at my place. ^^ It was great to have her there, since I hardly see her now since I moved away from my parents. ;_; So, yeah, it was great to just spend some time together and watch movies and such. I finally saw Tonari no Totoro wich was soooooo cute! I haven't really watched many Ghibli movied before just recently, but now I'm really getting onto them. They're all little masterpieces in different ways. ♥
We also watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which both of us have seen about a million times before, but oh well. XD I'm in a Harry Potter mood, after Underwater Light, so I think I might start to reread the books soon too. XD The wonders of fanfiction...

Speaking of UL, I bought "Maya's" (Sarah Rees Brennan's) book, Demons Lexicon, which I'll start reading tonight when I go to bed.

Next week will be a tough one - I work long shifts on both Monday and Tuseday - hopefully Wednesday-Friday will be regular 8-hour shifts - and then I've also promised to work on Saturday... I'll be a mess on Saturday night, I just know it. XD Though it's good money, so all's good. Money's always good, when one is homesick for Japan. XD

Though, my homesickness has eased a teeny tiny bit since Thursday when me and a friend made Japanese curry at my place. It was extra delicious with the fukujizuke I found at one of the the japanese shops here in Stockholm. ^^ Mmmmm, curry. ♥

I also realized that I need to scan all my purikura's - I though I'd done so already, but when looking for them in my photo-folder I found out I was wrong! O_O
I looked through the one's that sassy_86 scanned of the two of us, though. ^^ Even though it wasn't that long ago, it's nostalgic to look at them. :3




Also - yesterday I saw the singer in Green Day - I think his name is Billie Joe? He was SO TINY, OMG! He was walking outside Hotel Sheraton in Stockholm and everyone around him was so much taller/bigger than him. Fans were taking pictures of him and he was smiling and looking content! ^^

Firstly - Happy Birthday, dearest crystallekil! I hope your day is absolutely amazing! ♥♥♥

And concerning me, things are great. Well, save for some kind of teeny weeny infection in my body that gives me a slight fever and evil headaches at times, but I think it'll go away if I just rest a lot - which I've been trying to do as much as I possibly could the past week - and drug myself with anti-inflammatory (is that a real English word??) painkillers. XD And eat a lot of C-vitamins. oranges and ginger. ^^ I'm sure all will be well soon - as far as I know, I'm not even working any long-shifts the upcoming week!? Yey! ^^

And I miss Japan so so much right now. I get this knot in my belly just thinking about Tokyo. And I think about it. A lot. Often, even. ^^; Several times a day, I'm like, screw it all, and then I'm THIS close to order a plane ticket to the end of March or whatever, and then I realize that what if (of it's even likely anymore?) there'll be takitsuba cons after Osaka-chanel and Takki-Enbujo... and I don't think I could bear missing something like that... IF there will be. And all this drives me mad, the not knowing when, or if ever... Sometimes, it's really difficult, being a fangirl with no distance. ^^

And speaking of Japan, I promised to post some pictures from the japanese-fashion exhibit I went to the other weekend. ^^ It's justa few pics, but... yeah. ( Japanese Fashion )

I finished rereading Maya's Underwater Light yesterday. As an old Harry Potter (And, of course, Harry/Draco) fan, I really must say, once again that... this fanfic is perfection. I am not surprised that Maya is now a published author. Because, omg, it really is that good. I don't know if I already posted about my fruitless atempts at finding this fic again. I read it several years ago and it has alwats been my absolute favorite HP fanfic and a few months ago I got these urges to reread it, but since Maya did get published and had to remove all her fanfics from online, all her works have been IMPOSSIBLE to find. But then, about two weeks ago, thanks to fate, luck and fennec_zerda I finally found it again. And... I remembered that UL was good but not that it was THAT good. I am still all giddy from reading it because OMG. Her Draco, her Harry, her angst, the fights, the UST the subtle language, the snark, the characterization... It is all perfection, andf I'm going to go order her published books right after I've posted this entry. *___*

Also, some random amusing things - but after all my endless babbling about how, "OHMYGOD OKONOMIYAKI IS THE TASTIEST FOOD EVERRRRRRRR~~~~~!!!!!!" at my job, my boss decided to put in on our restaurant's menu. XD So now it's up to me to go and buy all the ingredients and learn how to make okonomi's properly and über-tasty to give everyone a good impression of them. XDDD I feel nervous. It'll be a vegetarian dish, so it'll be without the bonito-fish-flakes (which I never put on my okonomi's either way. I'm not particularly fond of them, really. ^^;). But, well, I'm gonna go and buy the okonomiyaki-sause and, if I can find them, agedama. And of course, also, japanese mayonnaise. Yumm! :3
Me and a friend/collegue are also gonna have a japanese-curry date sometime soon. We're gonna try and get the kare raisu to taste as similarly to the CoCo Curry House as we possibly can. I think I even know where I can find the correct japanese pickles that they use, yummmmmmmmm! ♥♥♥

And now, I want something to eat after all this talk of food. Maybe some ice-cream. Ice-cream would be nice. :3

Went around walking on Söder in Stockhiolm today, and saw this hilarious sign on the door of a store. It's an opening-hours sign and I lol'ed so much. XD



translation:

for some days, when we've been away.
Booked appointments, only!

LOOOL! ♥♥♥

I've worked so much this past week, but somehow I feel pretty well rested and energetic! (Which makes me believe I'm going to be completely dead when I need to wake up for work tomorrow. XD)

Need to watch the D&R DVD now - I've been wanting to watch it all week but haven't had the time - and relax with a cup of macha tea. ^_^

I am finally done with the apartment! ♥♥♥ I am so happy it's finally done - I feel like I never, ever, ever wants to move again since it's so much work, and it feels like one never will get done. XD I am so happy the apartment I bought is so tiny - if I'd bought a bigger one, I probably wouldn't be done until after Christmas or something. XDDD
I officially moved in on Wednesday night, and it already feels so much like a home. :3 I am really happy both for all the time and all the money I put out, since I am so happy with the result. :3


Anyway, I took some photo's of the apartment to show the ones of you who wants to see the "end" result. :3 ( Compact living for the win! ^_~ )


I don't know if I really have anything else worthwhile to talk about. I've been to tired and busy both with work and apartment-thingys to even think about anything else... O_O This weekend, though, I have two whole days off and I'm trying to take it as easy as I can without making myself get bored. XD Yesterday was a really lovely day - me, bumbiblue, fennec_zerda and J-san all had a great day. All of us save J-san met up outside my job after I got off and we went to the eastasian museeum on Skeppsholmen. They had an exhibition called Kimono Fusion which was interesting, though quite small. The thought behind the exhibition was the mix of the traditional japanese fashion and the modern fashion-culture with cosplay and so on. They had several gorgeous kimonos, geta's and other things - I'm going to try and do a post with the photo's I took. >^.^<
After museum-visit we went to Coffehouse by George and feasted on chai's, latte's, blueberry pie and muffin's. ^^ J-san met up with us after work ended for her and we started heading off Kungsholmen where I live now. ♥ We ate an asian buffet at a restaurant where we just sat chatting for several hours - it was sooooo nice for me to just have fun and relax after not having had the time to meet ANY friends for what feels like several weeks!! ^^ When we left the restaurant we walked home to my apartment where we ate more while talking and watching 17 again on DVD. XD I try to introduce my friends for the wonder that is Zac Efron, yes. XD Omg, so hot, yes, omg. *_*

Today I went to my parents house, though no one was home, so I just sat down in the sofa and watched reruns on tv. ^^; My dad came after a while and we went out in the wood to go and pick mushrooms. We hardly found any, though we were gone for almost an hour and a half. :/

I think I might watch the first episode of Orthros, now, finally. Time never is enough for me to watch dramas anymore, so I'll try and squease an episode in where I can... *sighs* And speaking of Orthros - I think Hikari Hitotsu might be my favorite of all the solo-singles Takki's released so far. ♥ And Takki looks soooooooooooooo good right now. It's strange because I usually prefer him with the blonder hair but I am as weak for this longer dark hair that he has now, and the similar hair he had at the end of 2005. OMG. *_*

Should get some sleep soon, too - I think I'm going to the movies tomorrow and watch Gake no ue no Ponyo. It finally opened in cinemas here in Sweden a week ago! ♥♥♥

Still behind on everything. Email, fandom, Orthros no Inu, Tsubasa-news and and and and... Though I will probably be done with the apartment in just a few days. I work a few long-shifts this week to - were supposed to do so today to, but I had to say no in the end - I was both too tired and had too much to get done in the apartment.
Left to do in the apartment now is only to hang up a lamp in the living room and then to get the sofa there, and then I'm done. ♥ Wheeeee, I'm so excited! ♥
I worked this Saturday, again. So I'm again back to +70 workhours/week. ^^;; I was so tired after work on Saturday evening that I didn't even make it to the bed - I seriously fell asleep on the rug in the living room. X_X Only for around 15 minutes, though; my phone rang. XD

Now I'm going to watch the "Swedish Hollywood housewives" documentary on TV... It seems to be pretty, ehm, yeah, I don't even know... ^^;;;

This week, I've been so extremely homesick. Homesick for Tokyo, that is. And I still can't go there for at least a few months - thanks to their stupid visa rules. But even so, I've missed Tokyo so so so much these past few days... I miss everything about it ALL the time, but this week the longing has been a little worse than usual. I get these waves of extreme longing, and I can't explain it in any other way than that it is homesickness... I've been back in Sweden now for a little more than 5 months. I miss Tokyo so much more than I missed Sweden while I was there for 6 months. :/ Of course, I missed my family and I missed some Swedish food but I never really wanted to go back, at all - I more felt like my family could come to Japan and bring some of the food I yearned for with them. XD

Ah, I so hope for a trip there next spring... I wonder what the takitsuba-schedule will be around april/may...? Takki will probably have Enbujo, but after/before that...?

In other news, I have a new job. But only for some random weekends, though. I don't know where I'll find the energy in me to manage, counting my more-than-fulltime-schedule and now weekends on top of that. X_X Of course I won't work every weekend, but it'll still be more than enough. I worked this Saturday and I'll work next Saturday, too. I think I'm going to avoid Sundays as much as I can, though...
So on the minus-side of this new job, is that I'll have no energy whatsoever for anything at all, outside working. And on the plus-side... the pay is really good, if they'll keep going by what I got for my few hours yesterday. ^_~♥
And money... is ALWAYS a good thing. Especially since I bought the new apartment - WHICH IS ALMOST COMPLETELY DONE NOW, BTW!!! Soon, soon, sooooon, I can move in for real - and it'd be nice with some extra cash for the above mentioned Japan trip which will happen... well, as soon as I can and as soon as a concert (preferably a Tackey&Tsubasa con) is announced...!

Now, sleep seems like a good plan... ^^

The weekend's been as busy as the week were. On Friday I went for - what I thoughs was - the last visit to IKEA for quite a while. It turned out to be wrong since I'll need to go there again since our car couldn't fit everything at once. XD So I had to skip the dining table and the big drawer that I'd planned to buy. But at least I got two chairs, a bathroom cabinet and a small drawer for papers, notebooks, printers and pens and things like that.
After the visit to IKEA I felt very poor. ^^; We went home and the next project started - cooking and baking for my cousins bbq-party! I made loaf-rolls filled with feta-cheese and sundried tomatoes. For dessert I made the panacottas with raspberry's - I also made some couscous salads, tzatziki and a feta-cheeze dip. I was happy, because everyone at the party seemed to find it tasty - it made all the hard work worth it, especially, since my cousin and her boyfriend were so happy with it all! ♥
The party was lots of fun, too. We had a darts competition and surprisingly... I won, lol! I never win ANYTHING, so it was seriously the biggest shock of the year. XD Beginners-luck, probably, so I don't foresee a new career anytime soon. XD

We went home quite early though since we had lots of things to do today, too. Went quite early to the new apartment, and built up all the new furnitures. I also glued mirrorrs to the wardrobe doors and finally got my takitsuba altar in order. It looks prettyyyy ♥ So now pretty much all of my Johnny's collection are in the apartment save for the posters and some of the magazines.
There are still some things left to be done before can move in - the internet-company that were supposed to come and install the broadband never even called me so I'm going to call the landlord tomorrow and ask them when they're supposed to come and GIVE ME MY FREAKIN' INTERNET!!!!! Because, no, I can't survive a day without internet. I is tragic person, yes. ^^;
I also need to change some lamps so I don't have to wander around in darkness and I also need to get my bed-settee there. Then it's just some small things left like getting all my books and the rest of the johnny's-stuff in order in the bookshelves... and then everything is completely done! I CAN'T WAIT!!! ♥ I also can't wait to post pictures of it - the apartment really is turning outn to be so much "me", in every way!! \^_^/

so, well, even though it's been quite a busy weekend, it's also been very productive so I also feel very pleased about that! ♥

I'll end this post with a photo of me and my sister from the bbq yesterday! My forehead looks so wrinkly wtf!!!! Not okay, I say!! -__-

Went shopping with my cousin today - she's having a party on Saturday and I've promised to cook and bake some bread for it, so we went shopping or ingredients. I'm planning on baking a italian-style bread with sundried tomatoes and feta-cheese. Also some coucous-salads and panacotta for desserts. *_* The panacotta will be half-raspberry and the other half of the glass will be filled with a mixture of "fluff" (you know - marshmallow-fluff?) and philadelphia cheese. Uwaahhhh, yumm. ♥ It's like the simplest thing to make in the whole world, but also the tastiest. ♥♥♥
Of course I'm also attending the party on Saturday. ^^ I wonder when I'll have the time to actually move everything into the new apartment!? O_O And when I'll have the time to move myself in there, too! *laughs* Maybe next week? As it seems now, at least, I don't think I have anything, wither on the weekend or after work - I haven't even agreed to work any long-shifts at all next week! \^___^/

Also, this is really random but - I went to a ostrich farm a little while ago. So odd. O___O They had this huuuge fenced field wherer they ran around. You remember that scene in Jurassic Park, where they have to hide under a fallen tree or something from a hoard of running dinosaurs. The ostriches reminded me of them SO MUCH, wtf!?


Also randomly - I think some kind of insect bit me on my eyelid. I have a small sore wound and it hurts to blink. It's not swollen at all, thankfully, but seeeriously annoying!

This weekend has been so insanely busy. I managed to get Friday off from work, and that day was spent painting and putting up wallpapers in the hallway and the living room. Yesterday, I went to the wedding of a childhood friend of mine - it made me think about how really different lives can turn out to be. We were very close from that we were around 10 to maybe 13-15, or something like that, but we lived far away from each other and as it sometimes sadly happens we just drifted apart. She's a really sweet person and I really wish her all the best as her new life as a wife and the mother of (soon to be) two children.
But as I said, it really made me think about how different lives can turn out to be - she is one year older than me and she's already married - she has one child and expecting a second. She lives in a big, big house out on the countryside and works for her father and has done so ever since she left school. As for me - I've just bought my first own apartment - a small, small, tiny apartment right in the city. I can't even imagine having kids now (if ever) since I don't feel nearly matured enough. I've worked a lot ever since I left school. Though irecently took half a year long vacation to live, breath and study my biggest interest and passion in the land of my dream. As for the marriage - I'm a tad bit jealous because I also want to find the love of my life, my knight in shiny armour, and get married and live happily ever after. But for me marriage and eteral happiness doesn't equal big houses and lots of babies. But that's just me. I'm not trying to sound like I don't accept others way of life if it comes off that way - I just found it really faschinating how different people are - even old, close friends. ♥

With that said, I really do wish my friend all the happiness in the world - I know that she'll be a great mother, and a great wife. ♥

I got kind of sidetracked there for a moment! Anyway, Wedding was on Saturday and today was spent at the new apartment again, the whole day. me, my mom, dad and sassy_86 spent the whole day getting most of the things I'd bought into order. While I took care of the kitchen and got that finished, the others put up curtain rod's, put together book-shelves and writing desks. It really is coming together now and the aparment is starting to look so nice and pretty. ♥
I have a few things left to do before it's completely done, though. I need a dining table, and chairs for it. A small wardrobe and some lamps, and also a sofa - and I need to move all my clothes, books and my Johnny's collection over there, too. AND I NEED INTERNETZ THERE, or I won't be able to survive. XD
But really - I love the apartment so much, I think it'll turn out so well when everything is done! ♥♥♥

I am silly, so I don't want to post pictures of the apartment before it's completely done, so instead I'll show you a picture of the color I chose for the hall - it's called Barbie. ♥

Working another long-shift today - I'm still at work now, trying to kill some time, while waiting for the guests to finish their food and drinks. They had a reservation in the restaurant until 7 p.m, but it's now 8 p.m and they still don't really seem to want to leave... -___- Mouuuu, I want to go hooomeeeee! And I'm the only one here from the staff - boring, and scary. I swear there are ghosts here... I hear and see strange things all the time when I'm here late at night. -__________-

At least it feels like it. I thought I could feel the change in the air between Wednesday and Thursday, and by now it really feels like it's definitely here. It's still warm outside - not today, though, because we've had storm-strong winds ever since last night - but you can really feel it in the air, that it's here now. I love the autumn - the beautiful colors the cozy rain - so I don't mind, but... I hate the winter more than anything in the whole world!! -____- And last winter I managed to escape the snow and the worst of the cold, since I went to Japan. So I really managed to elude Swedish winter for a whole year, which was the best decision I ever made. Though... I think this year will be even worse for me, since I'm not used to the harsh, cold weather anymore. XD

On a brighter note - I started packing today, finally! Went and bought cardboard-boxes this afternoon and finally started packing earlier tonight. \^_^/ So far I've only packed ONE box, which is kind of hopeless, but still it's something, right? ^^; I think I must be an idiot, though, because I only bought 5 boxes - did I seriously think that would be enough for all the junk I have???? O_O I didn't even fit half of my takitsuba collection in one box. And I don't even count the magazines. X_X
I'll never get it done. XDD

And to end this random entry since I need to go to bed soon; I have a busybusy week in front of me... you get a picture I took while I was in Spain on vacation. I've only been back at work for a week since my last vacation-week, but I already feel like I want vacatiob again. NOW! XD

Spain! the blondie in the foreground is my little-sister. ^^
