MIA
Ugh, haven't updated my blog in such a long time, and to be honest, I'm too lazy to look up when I updated it the last time, heheh..
Been busy with some other things and this thursday I came down with a case of the stomach flu. At least that is what I think I did. Ended up throwing up twice. Come to think of it, throwing up is pretty sick and gnarly. You rarely puke "slow" and "rich", if you know what I mean, it all just gushes right out of you. And it also likes to go through the nostril highway. Had to sense the smell of my vomit for an hour or so. Yeah yeah, I know, "gross", but I like to express what is on my mind without having to sugarcoat it.
Threw up once yesterday but had bad stomach ache, so I took a 4 ½ hour long nap during the day and when I woke up the ache was gone. Hoewever, I couldn't go to sleep later at night so I ended up watching the new episodes of The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle. Feeling rather good today, except for feeling a bit nauseous earlier. Either I ate too much french toast or smeared too much chocolate cream on them. Worth it and effin' delicious!

Also, here is a picture of my retarded cat. Which reminds me of a dream I had last night. I had to give her 12 capsules daily which would turn her into a normal and smart cat. In other words, the exact opposite of what she is now. : )

Broken Kingdom
Daniel Gillies, you may know him as John Jameson from Spiderman 2, Jon from True Blood. But mostly you probably know him as Elijah Mikaelsen in the smashing hit tv-show that is The Vampire Diaires.
Daniel Gillies, has along with his wife, Rachael Leigh Cook, and others, made a film. Unfortunately it has come to a stall because there isn't enough money to finish the movie. No, this is not about donating money, this is about watching this video, and spreading it around the world in hopes to get this movie finished!
I would absolutely love to watch this entire movie, the mere minutes of the "trailer" captivated me and I was really intrigued by it. It would be a beautiful movie!
But for people to be able to watch this movie it has to be known, and Daniel Gillies and the cast need help to spread it around. So, read the text what the movie is about, then click on "Play Video Presentation" to the right and watch Daniel and the rest talk about the plot of the movie and also the making of it. I hope you enjoy it!

Here kitty kitty kitty.
Like most of my friends know, I now have a cat!
I remember when I was somewhere around 10-12 years old and I suddenly wanted a turtle! Or a dog, but mostly a turtle. So I asked my stepmother at the time if I could get a dog, she said yes/maybe, but my father said flat out NO. I asked him why, but he just kept on saying no.
I've been together with my boyfriend a little over 2 years now, and a couple of months ago I got the cat. Let me tell you how that all went.
I was at home and doing something by the computer. After a while I went to go shower and my boyfriend said that he is going to the grocery store and will be right back. But when I got out of the shower he wasn't home yet. I figured he was just taking his time. But after half an hour or so I started getting sleepy. So I took a nap for half an hour and he still wasn't home. I was about to call him and ask why he was taking so long (we were going to watch a movie) but his phone was left at home. So I decided to just go to the store and give it to him and go back, in case someone would call him. I couldn't find him and was really wondering where he was at. So I called his mother and he said that he was with her and that they will be home soon. Her workday had just ended by the way.
Anyway, I go back home and start with the dishes and I'm home for about 5-10 minutes when my boyfriend approaches me and he said "Look.", so I looked but didn't notice at first. It took me about one or two seconds to comprehend that it was a tiny little kitten he was holding in his arms!
He told me that his mother had told him to stop by the store when her day is over to come and see something. And outside the store has this storage room, and the kitten had pushed herself up against the wall and had been there for at least a day! My boyfriends mother told me that she even fed the cat earlier in the day and she ate it all up by herself cause the poor baby was starving.
They were struggling for an hour to get her out cause she kept biting, hissing and moving around in the storage. But finally they got her out and took her home.
When I noticed the cat I stopped doing the dishes and said "Oooh, can I hold him/her?", so I took the cat in my arms and he told me that they think it's a girl. After a few minutes we showed the little kitten to my boyfriends sister and her jaw just dropped!
My boyfriend and his family actually already have a cat and have had her for 10 years, and the cats name is "Pussi". I know, original right? So, the kitten approaches Pussi and starts rubbing against her immediately and probably even considers her of a mother figure. But of course Pussi decides she doesn't like the new cat and starts to distance herself from her.
During the evening we put the kitten in a little blue plush crib for her to sleep in, but the poor thing was still scared and nervous so it took her a while to fall asleep. And after an hour or so she started walking around a bit and exploring the apartment. My boyfriend started patting her and she purred for the first time.
She also developed a habit that evening to hide under the recliner, and immediately started meowing to get her out. So we got her out, just for her to go back. She did this for about 3 or 4 times. But an hour after that we started to watch a movie and the kitten fell asleep between us, and eventually shifted over to sleep behind my head.
We figured that she had to be either 2 or 3 months old when she was rescued. She had gotten separated from her mother and her 2 siblings and was all alone in that storage. A few people tried to get her out but didn't succeed to do so. I still get sad when I think of what could have happened to her if she hadn't gotten rescued. Either someone else would have saved her or she would have starved to death or freeze to death because it was cold outside.
About a month later, a friend of my boyfriends sister had told her that they also had rescued a cat 2 weeks after we had rescued ours! And the friend asked my boyfriends sister if we could watch their cat for about 2 weeks while they go to Thailand, and I said of course. It was either us taking care of her, or having to put the other kitten to sleep, and I couldn't have that. So the same day as my birthday they brought the cat over and she was beautiful! And all of us figured that they had to be sisters cause two kittens born at the same time in a tiny town with max 3K inhabitants was more likely than two litters at the same time.
Their cat is named Nova, and ours is well, plain and simple "Kitty". We figured cause the older cat is called Pussi(cat) we could name our cat Kitty(cat). It felt like a suitable name for her cause no other name we thought of was good enough.
And that is the story of how I got a cat, well, half a cat, she is my boyfriend's cat also.
And the freaky part of it all was that no more than 2 weeks prior to that event, I asked my boyfriend if we could get a cat. He said no, and look how it all turned out!
Below are some pictures of my cat. The first ones are taken the day after she was rescued by my boyfriend and his mother. And the other ones are no more than a month old. And the last one is a picture of Nova. Oh, and Kitty is actually cross-eyed, which makes me laugh hysterically at her sometimes, but I do it out of love for her.
She drives me insane sometimes with the things she does, but I love my little purrito princess. :)

Has to be my favorite picture of her.
Praying cat is praying!
This was taken less than a month ago. She's gotten big in the past 3 ½ months!
And here you have a picture of the expression she does that always makes me laugh so much. She has this expression on her face about 70% of the time.
A photo of Kitty and Nova chilling together on the recliner.
Here is a photo of the ever so gorgeous Nova! She reminds me of Two-Face from Batman.
House of Night books.
Recently I started reading a book series called House of Night.
The book is written by mother and daughter P.C and Kristin Cast.
The book is about this girl, Zoey Redbird, a 16 year old girl that one day when she is in school becomes marked. What that means is that she now has begun her transformation from a "fledgling vampyre" into a full "vampyre". She is required to attend the House of Night school where she is supposed to spend 4 years during her transformation. But not all fledglings turn into vampires, some of them die cause their bodies reject the change, and as it is described in the book it is not a pleasant way to go.
Some of the issues that Zoey and her friends face are not covered in Vampyre Sociology 101 (this is a course they have to take to know what dangers they have to face), but they are issues faced by real-life human teenagers.
I don't want to give away more about the books or else there would be spoilers. And considering I hate it when people spoil books, movies or tv-shows to me I won't do it to others.
Overall, the books are really good and I am on the 4th book so far, and there are 9 of them in total.

Simple-minded people.
There is always two sides of a story. People see something on the internet and automatically believe it is true, instead of doing some more research about the matter.
I do not deny the fact that the Kony 2012 video is great in the way that it has opened so many people's eyes, and made them willing to help. But l the link below says, it is VERY BAD that Invisible Children won't let their financials be independently audited. Stop and think for a moment who you are sending your money to.
Find a different organization that is more legit than Invisible Children and donate money to them instead.
Here is the link of information you all should read that I just mentioned in my text above: http://thedailywh.at/2012/03/07/on-kony-2012-2/

Completely in english!
I thought I already mentioned it but I guess I forgot.
Even though I live in Sweden and have done so for 18 years of my life (I recently turned 20), I prefer typing in english. So this blog is going to be in english only. Might make a few exceptions sometimes ( but rarely) but the writing will be in english.

Kony 2012 campaign.
Now, here's the deal. I assume most of you have heard of the Kony 2012 campaign right? Well, so have I. This morning to be exact. It was indeed very emotional to watch the video about Joseph Kony, and I got really interested in finding information about what I can do to help. The more I looked around I stumbled upon this.
- The picture above is a photograph of the founders of the not-for-profit Invisible Children (founders of the Kony 2012 campaign) posing with weapons and men from the Sudan army. The Sudan army and also the Ugandan army have been critized for having their fair share of raping and looting.
- The KONY 2012 campaign calls for military intervention in Uganda to capture Joseph Kony, and to bring him to justice. But, Kony has not been in Uganda since 2006, so there is no Kony and LRA roaming around in Uganda anymore. In fact, there is a peace process in place with LRA, of course the process is stalling.
- The money that Invisible Children raises by donations from the public is in millions. However, only 31% of these fundings actually go to their charity program, but the charity has never been audited I have read. These money you fund Invisible Children with go to such things like funding the Uganda's military and the Sudan People's Liberation Army, and both forces have been critized for rapes and looting, and also associated with using rape as a weapon of war.
After reading and finding out more things about this organisation I have completely changed my mind about buying their Action Kit to help KONY 2012 campaign, and plastering posters all over town.
Invisible Children have been critized as a charity ogranization since 2006 when Joseph Koney fled Uganda and to Kongo instead. So, yes, this organization has been critized from the day it was founded.
Instead of linking the video they made about their KONY 2012 campaign, and changing your profile picture to one of their posters to show your support, then you REALLY should read this article.
The article is from november 2006, the year Kony and LRA was smashed away. 6 years later Invisible Children make a video and try to make people think that this is still going on. So go ahead read the article and educate yourself more on the matter. I know I did, but unfortunately it was AFTER I thought they were doing something good. This is not one dimensional, you have to find out more information before jumping to conclusions and re-considering about donating money to a not-for-profit organization.
Welcome!
Since this is the first official post, I guess I will inform you all a little about my blog and how it's going to work.
For a couple of days now, or maybe even weeks (not entirely sure) I've been thinking about starting a blog.
But not the kind of blog that is strictly about makeup, clothing, what you did or did not eat for dinner. It's going to be about anything and everything. Whenever I have a thought about something I'll scribble it down here. Whenever I read something funny, interesting or horrid I will share it on my blog.
I am extremely new to this whole "blog" thing so it might take me a while to settle in so to speak and get a hang of it all. Also, when I get better at maintaining my blog, using HTML et cetera, I will share with you who I am, what kind of a person I am, and other things like that.
I added a photo of a painting I found and really liked. It's made by the artist Mark Ryden, he actually has a lot of interesting and cool paintings.
