My current obsession: Pushing Daisies! OHMYGAWD! It's PERFECT! The best show ever! I can just say: watch it, you'll be smitten before the first episode ends. I understand they can only push it so far, if they manage to make the second season interesting that will take hard work, I think.

What's it about, you ask? It's about a guy who can wake up the dead by touching them. But if they stay alive for over a minute someone else will die, so he has to touch them again within that minute to make them dead /re-dead again. He uses this to solve murders along with a PI. Fate has it that he has to wake up the girl who was his first (only?) kiss from when he was a kid, and he decides she should live. Yay! :D So now she's alive/undead, and in love, they just can't touch.

I hope it comes on TV here, I've only watched the 9 existing episodes online. Just saying, y'all should watch this show!

I think.. not 100% sure, but I think this is my first blog to celebrate me levelling up! :D (what first did you think I was talking about? :P please, that happened ages ago, i'm 26 after all:P)

Happy level 19 me! :D

If you're on any of the forums I'm on, you know how I love this smiley :D :D :D

Other than that.. it's february! And I've survivedmy first nicotine-free month in 6 years. :D Told ya I'd live. ;) I'm also starting a challenge today, to watch 500 different episodes of tv shows in 2008. Since an awesome net-friend sent me the L Word seasons 1-4 I'm gonna do a couple of marathons of those, it's been too long since I saw the first seasons! I'm of course also hooked on the current season 5, which I'm youtubing for every monday/tuesday. :D Isn't youtube terrific?

So, there are a couple of tv shows on dvd I'm gonna use and abuse to get to 500. TLW, Gilmore Girls, Friends, Cybill, Remington Steele, Moonlighting, Seinfeld. It feels like it's gonna be sooooooooooooo easy, like 5000 would be more of a challenge, but you never know. Do you think 2 or 20 tv episodes a day is closest to the truth? lol (I work, and occasionally sleep too, but a sitcom is only 20 minutes!)

Bye, luv ya, some of you :P *waves to the lurkers*

Blog blog, me. Blog blog me, Blog blog. So, that was my version of Mika's Love Today: Blog today. I got Mika's cd for Xmas and iz addicted to him now. He's coming with me in the car every day at work.

It is now 4:30am over here btw. I couldn't sleep, in fact I haven't slept great for a few weeks, I think it's because I quit nicotine... grrr. I didn't smoke, but this other swedish thing you put under your upper lip, snus, snuff. :D It was getting more expensive after New Years so I decided to quit, and I've been really determined about it and is doing well so far, if you don't count the no-sleeping thing. Well, I haven't been sleepy during the days either so I'm not suffering. I'm O.K.

On Sunday I woke up to snow. :D I LOVE SNOW! Winter and summer are my favorite seasons and I hate it when they don't come for real, just for fake :P so snow makes me happy. I ran outside to make a snowman. Say hi to him:

Then in the afternoon it rained and washed it all away. If that makes you sad, pretend I'm lying. I will.

Thanks for making me blog, BB. :P

*grouphugs*

I'm back from my two weeks vacation inHurghada, Egypt. :DHad a great time if I don't think about the fact that instead of having one room with my sister, we had to share one with mom and dad. Ugh. I'm26 and haven't lived with them for more than a weekend since I was 19 so.. yeah.Obviously whenin Egypt you just had to go to Cairo to see the pyramids. :D This is a random person posing. (okay, it's me :P)Other than that I swam around in the Red Sea, got a Red Tan and had Red Meat. :lol: Okay, not the meat thing. We ate yoghurt, fruit and bread and didn't get sick. :DHope y'all are doing great!

Happy Halloween!

Sweden does not do Halloween great, and for that I am grateful. Everything scares me! Seriously! Say "boo" and I jump. :oops: No kids have ever knocked on my door trick or treating either, or "bus eller godis"-ed. Phew.

One does what one can, however, and today I dressed up as Batman. In front of my Spider-Man covered closets. I don't own any costumes, those are my normal clothes. Yeah, I dress like that every day, I work as a burglar. :P I am also 26 years and 10 days old today, wheeeee!! I've never felt this mature. :D

While I was sitting here with all this free time a good friend told me she had joined facebook. So now I'm there too.
