Wishful Thinking

I have always adored dandelions. There's just something about them that makes them special. When i talk about dandelions i mean when they are white and at the stage where there pedals turn into little seeds, which will be caught in the wind and be blown away forever.. I have always liked taking pictures of them, capturing that hope and whit fluffiness that they contain. I went outside to take some pictures of them today and get a feel for their hope. There is a 'myth' (if you want to call it that) that if you make a wish and blow away the seeds, your wish will come true. I love how the dandelion represents hope, and that they usually come during the summer time. A time where there is sun filled days to be spent in joy. Since they occur in the summer time and they symbolize hope.. i think that they represent summer, in a way that summer is filled with hopes and dreams and that is what the dandelion is all about.... I also did an art project on them, because we had to choose something related to summer.. so i had to capture the dandelion in an art form. Which was harder than you think it would be.. to get the proportion size in the drawing just right was really hard, but it was fun taking pictures of them and then trying to paint/draw them.

When i was little my parents would take my brother and i into the forest to this little spot where we would play 'i spy...'. We called it the 'the secret i-spy' place because it was like a look out, an opening in the middle of the deep dense forest. I have been meaning to go back ther ever since we moved back here in Norway. Guess what...... i found it, today when i was wondering the forest! A lot of new trees have started growing there and it is hard to tell that it was ever a lookout spot.. but i know it was it because i remember when i was little there were tree stumps that we would sit on while we were playing the game.

Today i watched some documentaries that were on TV which were fascinating. I actually love watching documentaries, because i am interested in the behaviour and facts about animals and nature, (if you didn’t already know that) ;). There is also this other documentary that i have and it is about the 'cosmos' and it talks about the dark science and all that cool stuff! I love learning about that stuff, because then you view the whole world in a different way. For example on the show i learned that when you are moving, you are actually moving slower because you have to share your time with space. But when you are sitting down, time is going faster, because you don’t have to share it with space, (i'm sorry if that didn't make any sense to you guys what so ever, but at least hopefully i satisfied all those scientists out there) ;). I also watched this show called ' flying wild Alaska', which i also fell in love with, because it show the lifestyle of people living in the extreme cold. I have always wanted to live somewhere extreme for a few years after my college experience, to do some research and stuff. Alaska, australia and the Yukon (canada) have been some choices that i have been considering. :D

Also today i decided to experiment with makeup since it's a good thing to do in the summer, cuz at least today i haven't seen anybody yet.. :P

Anyways.. It is almost time for me to start heading over to my soccer game so hopefully all goes well!

Being Creative

Well today i felt like being creative. I mean being creative by not just artwork (drawing) but also doing creative tasks in other subjects. So today i was being creative with drawing, taking pictures, cooking and with litterateur (quotes).

So lately when i have been doing my morning jogs, i started taking nickie with (my dog) but he is more interested in finding out what lurks in the dark interesting forest than just going for a jog. So now when i started off my day, i went for my morning jog withour him :(. But dont worry i did take him just for a normal walk before that so he would get tired and sleep while i was away on my jog. Since i didnt have my dog with on my morning jog, i could time myself, and i went faster than i thought. I also think i beat erlend.. (but dont tell him that) ;) I always prefer jogging in the forest by myself, because it is just more peaceful, and i am that kind of person who likes to enjoy nature that way. ;D

Anyways.. back to the creative thing. I baked these delicious "cinnamon hypnotizers" (thats what they were called in the cookbook) and it was basically tortilla, with melted butter and a mixture of cinnamon and sugar to go inside. I also found myself writing some quotes and drawing some pictures. I also took some artistic photos with my beloved camera. ;)

Oh and i found this disc (full of pictures) that was kind of like our yearbook in my old elementary school back in Canada. I have been looking for it ever since i came here, and now i found it!..It was funny because i found it while looking for something else..it was a TOUCH moment! (If you have ever seen the new TV series "Touch".... then u know what i mean..) I think it was meant for me to realize that 'looks attract the eyes, but personality attracts the heart'. ;) Haha when i looked through the pictures i just realized that i kinda looked like a nerd! but i guess everyone does in grade 6. But apparently i wasnt too much of a nerd because i had 6 boyfriends that year. ;P Well you know middle school (or shall i say 'elementary school') relationships never last. :P

Today was a relaxing day, had no makeup on .. and i just came back from horseback riding so that was fun like always. What a perfect dayy.... ♥

Numbness: loss of sensation, no feeling

Today had a lot of components... from acting like a gangster, to not having any feeling in my mouth, to going on a rather peaceful walk in the forest, to spilling water all over myself and now i am just chilling (so i guess it was an adventurous day but i have experienced worse before..)

So i will explain more in detail what these things meant. ;) So today i had to wake early to the bright sun (oohh what a joy it is.. -.-) then i had to wake my cranky brother up, then rush to the bus stop to find that we were early.. Then we took that city bus to go visit the "lovely" dentist office close by and go attend our appointments. I will just say now i did go there because i did have a cavity :O ( i know.. i know.. well i do have some sort of an excuse, that i did have my braces not too long ago... so i'm trying to say that the dentist said that it usually happens because the after the braces the teeth are more exposed. If that made any sense to you guys... :)

Anyhow now i am sitting here having no feeling mostly in my left cheek but also my right cheek. So it feels REALLY weird touching it. I don't know if any of you guys has ever experienced this numb feeling before but it is just downright weird and unnatural. It just isn't right for the human body to experience!! :P I have always wanted the dentists to perform on my teeth when i am "under" (under on a anesthesia) like they do for cats and dogs!! (i saw this when i volunteered at a vet clinic in Canada). Becuase then we wouldn't hear all those shrieking noises! Anyways.... the good thing about it is that it prevents pain, and makes going to the dentist pain free! :D

Ok.. enough of my "science lecture" now i will continue on about what happened next in my day. Oh did i mention that we were also early to the dentist office so we (again) had to wait, but this time for an hour!! I was staring to really get sick of staring at my iPhone screen! O sorry did it again.. now i am back on track! So after the dreadful appointment, my brother and i headed over to shell to fetch ourselves some snacks and sodas (we like to counteract what the dentist tells us to do right After the appointment, so we feel like rebels ;O). But the thing was i Kind of forgot that i had numbness in my left cheek.... so when i went to take a sip of my villa.... well you guys can probably already guess what happened.. the villa just slurred into my mouth but then came right back out again. At least nobody saw me.. or at least i don’t think.

After that our dad picked us up and we headed home. Erlend (my twin brother, IF u don’t remember) ;) and i headed to the forest to take my dog for a walk. There i basically just took some pics and afterwards came home to chill.

Oh I almost forgot!! In the morning I decided to act, no BE a gangster. So since my brother came home after the baseball tournament he got all this stuff from the team.. including this cool hat, that I stole for a bit and used to make me become a gangster (for about 20 min or so..). And of course I took pictures.. I think the hat could be referred to a snapback ( but im not quite sure if I used that terminology right). I just wanted to be a ‘semi-gangster’ for the morning. :P

Sky High

So yesterday was the Sola Air Show, i went to go see it with my dad because my mom stayed home with my dog, and my brother (twin brother actually) Erlend was recruted to go play for the Norway national academie's team in Oslo. So he went there without us by train, but he was sad because he missed the air show. D; Luckily though my dad and I took lots of good video and pictures, mostly with his camera, so he will see the wlohe show in 2D when he comes home ;) :D That day it was rainy, but you know we norwegians have fun no matter the weather! So the pictures i will show you now are mostly taken by my dad (c) Stig Meling - 2012. It was really fun because i alwasy like seeing old planes, because i have only seen them in movies :P, and plus they even sounded old (well of course.. but it was fun hearing it in person) so you got the real effects!

Since my dog is afraid of loud noises (thunder, hard rain, jets..) he was apparently getting freaked out at home, because the sirport (where the air show was) is realy close to our house! He is moslty freaked out becaue when we lived in Canada, we got robbed ande my dog was the only one home it was also thundering and raining that day, so he relates the loud noises to bad people coming into the house and creating violence! :( But now he is all good, and exactly now he is eating a pistachio he found on the ground... ;P

the quote for this blogg will be: " Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed throughlife trying to save." - Will Rogers

Oh and i forgot to mention that on one of the planes (the yellow one) their were people standing on the wings!! I thougth that was sooo cool, i almost want to try it myself one day. ;) And by the way my hair is weird in the picture of me, because i had my hood on the whole time cuz of the rain! But atleast there were a lot of good looking guys there, and AWESOME hotdogs. ;)

Bye and remember.. Stay Golden ;)
