Soooo. I kind of upset my friend because we were talking about high school and college and so on. And he is going to re-do 8th grade which means, well exactly what it means. And I said to him "Isn't that going to mean that you'll have just another year of not really doing anything?"
and of course he replied "thanks for shit". That's just the situations where I think. "No dude, shit srsly." I know that what I said was cruel but it's the truth. The fact is that I know this boy VERY well and I'm worried. I'm worried because he sometimes get really depressed about not moving forward in his life, but it's only sometimes he sees this. So other times, he just takes a step back, like this thing. Is he afraid? I don't know. But if he is, damn! I sure understand how he feels. I have been, and I still am so INCREDIBLY scared because I know what happens when you move on in your life. Everything falls apart, the daily routine. And sometimes that's a good thing.

So what do you think? Was my comment over the line? Should I have stayed silent?

17 and blindness

Hiiia guys. So what you might not know, is that I'm secretly planning on publishing a short story collection. (Which first of all mean I need to write one ^^,) which is actually going very well.. Writing it anyway. Today I printed it so I can keep in my folder, so that I can read the stories and edit them whenever, wherever I feel like it or I see something that I want to be changed. So I just printed it, and it's 17 pages so far. Considering that my stories actually are very short, that is alot. ^^

I've been getting alot of comments on my facebook statuses lately, which presumeably is a good thing (; *wink*, but one of them was from, I guess you'd call it "and old friend", and frankly I wasn't too happy about it. It's not that we had a fight, or something like that. I'm just disappointed. We are, and have always been really, incredibly great friends. Like sisters who understood each other. But when she went away (change of school) we would never meet up anymore. I have a picture of her hanging on my door. She's a poster child (; and we've once mixed blood. Not that is was very successful, but we did it and I guess that it's always meant something to me. It's probably a combination of going down memory lane, and listing to this soul-y track that my heart skips a beat and I can feel my tear ducts vibrating. Holding the tears back, tipping my head and smiling a crooked smile. I really miss her, yes. I've always looked up to her. But not seeing her makes me lose respect. I simply can't respect that we've both not found the time to get together. I wish we could see each other every day as we used to do. But that's the consequence of time. Time makes us grow older and then it tares us apart and lead us away from each other. Yeah sure, I have other great friends. But you know.

So now. Well yeah I'm mad at her. I choose to be, after all it's easier to be mad at her than crying over not seeing her. And she doesn't know, is she blind? Nah. I didn't show. Then it's easier for her too (: I know she keeps an eye on me. She always did and I really like that. It makes me feel that she never really forgot me. Maybe she'll know I didn't forget her either <3

xo Elk, by the way finished reading "Leda". (Greek mythology is crazy as f**k!) and "The curious case of the dog in the night", damn I'm such a book eater!

Books: Dyrekredsen by Kim Fupz Aakeson review (Danish)

Hiaaa. Just finished off reading "Dyrekredsen" (in danish). Psssssh, junk. *Hmpfh*
Here's the review, in danish. Sorryyyy. xo

Intro
Kim Fupz Aakesons roman "Dyrekredsen" er en bog uden genre, kedelig handling og fladt sprog.

Handling
"Dyrekredsen" tager udgang fra de 12 stjernetegn. Det er tolv fortællinger om 12 forskellige hovedpersoner med 12 forskellige stjernetegn. Hvert stjernetegn har fået tilegnet sig en kort beskrivelse af deres stjernetegn, og derefter lille novelle om en periode i sit liv der afspejler deres stjernetegn.

FortolkningDet er formodentlig første og sidste gang at jeg læser noget af Kim Fupz Aakeson. Jeg kan ikke engang bruge undskyldningen at "det er et af hans tidlige værker", for så tidligt er det ikke. "Dyrekredsen" er udgivet i 1996, og jeg har regnet mig frem til at være hans 21ende bog (børnebøger talt med). Forfatteren formår at få hvad ellers lyder som et spændende tema om stjernetegn til at blive utrolig kedsommeligt, og indholdsløst. Handlingerne i fortællingerne er kedelige, sproget er passivt, negativt og flat, moralen i historierne er svære at finde og beskrivelserne af stjernetegnene i fortællingerne er ikke pakket særlig godt ind. Har jeg overhovedet noget godt at sige? Ja da. Bogen er sat fint op, det danske navn på stjernetegnet som titel på novellen, derunder det engelske navn på stjernetegnet, derunder fra hvilken dato start til hvilken dato stop og sidst men ikke mindst en kort beskrivelse af stjernetegnets kvaliteter. Desuden er bogen kun 129 sider lang.

Forfatteren
Kim Fupz Aakeson har bevæget sig meget rundt inden for den kunstneriske genre. Han har skrevet flere filmmanuskripter, heriblandt "Okay", "Den Eneste Ene" mfl. Han har udgivet tegneserialbums, børnebøger og romaner. Han har vundet flere priser både i Danmark og i udlandet.

Outro
Jeg ved ikke om det er mig eller ham den er gal med. Hvis du har læst denne bog så læg endelig din mening, men for mit vedkommende var at læse "Dyrekredsen" kun spild af tid. Nå jo, og så undskyldningen for at skrive min første dårlige anmeldelse.

Nails: Naiiiiiiilz!

Made the orange/purple this morning and the blue one I made a couple of days ago. The blue one is really gorgeous with long nails (and when I made it I had long nails) but my nails cracked MASSIVE so I had to cut them. R.I.P. nails :(

Boxes, shiiiet.

Today I did a list over all the things in my room that needs to be cleaned up. 24 points, and that's just my room - how is that possible!? I should know. I wrote them.
Today my neighbors came home from Germany, bringing me alot of hot new nail polishes.. Yummy! I'm really getting bitten by this nail thing!

Have you watched The Shawshank Redemption? This movie has been nominated for 7 Oscars! Why is that prize called and Oscar? When I hear Oscar I think about toddlers, hmm I wonder.. Anyways, even though it's a long movie it is awesome! Definently something you can pick up next time your in Blockbuster!

Well, I guess I gotta eliminate some points on my list.. Well... I'm probably just going to play tetris anyways. Love ya! xo Elk

I got nominated!

After several years without being noticed, it took me over half the time I went to grade school to get noticed, and be popular. Now when I moved to boarding school, started in a new class with new people I thought I'd never be noticed again. For me, it's been hard to see what role I had i our class. I could see that Sabrina was the very straight forward one, Laerke the one who sucked up, Emil the annoying but also funny class clown, and of course Lisa the sweet one. But what I was? I didn't know.

So the school year is soon coming to an end and we're having a "departure dinner" where all the teachers and student of 10th is invited. To this dinner, there are several entertainment acts and one of them is handing out prices to particular people in class. The cool thing is, I'M NOMINATED! I just think it's great! I have NO chance of winning because the other two, Veronica and Lisa are as sweet to look at as sugar! But still, I got nominated = I got noticed <3
