Really now

Today I dropped a book on my phone, which was conveniently lying on a table but sticking out just a little bit, and of course it was hit exactly on that outer edge, creating a catapult backwards which missed my classmate's face. And the screen broke. How many more screens this year??? Catapult??? Really Maria???

Last two days of practice and I'm still hungover since Monday night and I've got a virus and I had pancakes for dinner.

x4 stories, true story

1. I needed stitches on my scalp twice, once when I was 6 years old and once when I was 9. But on the second occasion that doctor chose to use tissue glue instead (I think she was a student similar to myself) and I now have a thick scar on my hairline right above my face. Kids, make sure to get your stitches done.

2. I might seem strong or like I'm not so sensitive, but I actually cry really easily. I cry when I feel blissful, I cry when I'm arguing and I cry every time I see a disney movie. I basically cry with every strong emotional response that I have. I may be able to resist crying in public, but as soon as I get home I'll be sobbing the same second that I close the door. It's annoying especially when I'm arguing because I really have a hard time controling it. And if I'm almost crying, really trying not to, and someone asks me why I'm crying... there's no stopping me. Haha oh my god whyyy.

3. I drink a lot of milk. I think it's a Swedish thing... but seriously... I used to drink more than two liters a day, now I hope that I'm down closer to one liter. It's the main thing that I shop for at the grocery store. Milk has a lot of nutrients, vitamins and is very protein rich, but for a yet unknown reason high amount milk consumers have a higher overall mortality i.e. milk lovers die earlier than average consumers. Doomed :)

4. I wasn't interested in Dennis at first, he tried to kiss me after a party and I was so surprised and turned him down. Some two months later I had friends over at my house and suddenly decided that I was going to kiss him (I was tipsy of course). He wasn't the serious type back then so I was actively working hard to make him fall in love with me for over a year. I would probably do it again, sneaky like that.

Hope you liked these, haha. I felt like writing a bit tonight.

In memory of mini snail

Waiting for my raspberry-blueberry pie to get ready at this moment - so came here to put a few words down. Went to see Dennis play football today but lost focus soon enough and set my mind to getting a tan instead. What a nice weatheeerrrr. We had lunch at Roy's afterwards which was very tasty, except I found a mini-snail in the remnants of my salad after I had already eaten everything. They let me have my dish for free. Now I feel like I'd have a cute mini-snail in all my dishes if it meant that I got the food for free. The sad part of this story is that mini-snail is probably dead because of my normal, but truthfully egoistic move - to call the waitor regarding the snail instead of releasing him into the wild. This post is dedicated to the memory of mini-snail.

You know what I'm sayin'

Who else only wear 1/3 of all clothes that you own because ironing was invented by the devil?

Leave the house without mascara by mistake, after putting on eyeliner or eyeshadow, because ??

Always wake up without pyjamas, even after going to bed in pyjamas?

Feel massively victorious after throwing uncomfortable underwear into the trash?

Anyone else can't help repeating who-cares-sentences at least once because no one commented the first time you said it?

Can't watch a movie without accusing things of being unrealistic?

Who else like to smell everything in this world because it's cosy, particularly other people's candy and make up?

Sit down by the computer to send an important email but end up online shopping, reading blogs and instragram without even checking the mailbox...?

Is always late in the morning, because no matter how much time there was from the beginning, just somehow you spend 90% of it on breakfast?

... Anyone else?

Glad I asked

Some week ago, while sharing equipment with an acquaintance at the gym; the music is kind of loud and my hearing is already not the best:

- Wow Maria, you are really stressed.

I'm like, hmm... Not really feeling that stressed, maybe a little but trying to suppress it... but I probably look tired and maybe a bit tense...
- Yeah... I guess I am yeah.
- Well, at least you know about it.

A few seconds of silence... He probably means that if I know about it, I can deal with it.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Mhm... yep...

A moment passes by and something doesn't feel right...
- You said "stressed", right? That I look stressed?
- No I said, you are really shredded.
- aaaa SHREDDED heeeh well some days more some days less heeee I thought you said stressed hee-heee.....

Haha hello douchebag. I wonder how many conversations like these I'm having without knowing... I'm just glad that I asked...

Company

I love that I enjoy my own company. In other words... I love myself as company... by now you must know who I love. Today was the most amazing summer day and I went to the pool to study there. Soooo relaxing. Few people there, perfect temperature and please - feel free to go into the water whenever. Very happy that I didn't stay home in the sofa all day. Also swam 150 meters. Wow, you must be stunned by this information.

This is the triangl lulu tahiti tango bikini bottom. So fiiiine.

10 random

Just because - I like random facts, it is late, I should study and just because. Maybe some of you knew these and maybe you didn't.

1. Not sure if this is a fact about me, Dennis or insects, but I rescue Dennis from the wrath of insects every day. Capture, release or kill. I'm that good of a girlfriend.

2. I don't have a driver's licence... I practiced driving with my father once, but he was covered in sweat after only ten minutes so that was that.

3. When I have a powerful sneeze coming I start hitting things or stomping with my feet.

4. I eat strategically and arrange the food so that my last bite will be the perfect bite.

5. Also if there is meat on my plate, or something bulky-else, I cut it completely into pieces before I start eating so that I can eat continuously without cutting anything.

6. I always wear a hair tie on my wrist because at some point during the day I cannot stand how my long hair invades my face and eyesight.

7. I'm really good at playing "the game", you should all take advice from me.

8. When I like someone as a person, I get a very strong urge to tease them somehow. It is so intense that my teasing becomes some sort of compability test, like can we be friends or not. So occasionally the other person cannot deal with it and seemingly never likes me again as I am too high-hat, too annoying or simply too weird.

9. I'm a spy, but people think I'm just a stalker so they have no clue. No but I may seem clueless, indifferent or like I'm not paying attention... but I'm only being polite... Really, I'm such a spy.

10. The best thing about a gym is all the mirrors. But maybe everyone thinks so?

Traffic

Major traffic at out lot revealed by snow with no mercy. You know about Privet, well he seems to have set camp... but there are moments when he goes adventuring somewhere else, allowing our Parus Major a.k.a. Pelle to show up and stress the doorhandle (physically) for cheese. I'm not sure how it all started, feeding him cheese... but that's all he wants now and it doesn't seem as he cares very much for hypertension...

There's also the lonely deer paying a visit to out back yard at least once a day... she always finds something to snack on... and if you look out the kitchen window at night you may catch a fox snatching bird seeds... or whatever there is... fox isn't too social so we still refer to the fox as "the fox"...

We also have a squirrel visiting at times... she loves my father's socks so much that by now I'm almost convinced, they must smell amazing...

Some visitors are new, some are standard, I would even say VIP. Some are hedgehogs that get eaten by badgers...

All leaving traces and revealing their little character. Mostly, surely, this traffic by my home is very cosy.

Peas report

Spent the weekend in Eskilstuna and saw some of my dearest friends from high school. Matilda stayed over so we had a nice recap :) After that, killed my legs at the gym (apparently, got extremely sore from a small alteration to my regular workout) and brought Dennis with me to the countryside for a couple of days. Now... loneliness. I'm here with my father but I can feel the Dennis-is-far-away coming at me.

Also want to take a moment to mention that I hate the new labyrinth at supermarket ICA Flen. Yes, I know now that the exit is beyond the Taco section... walk ten meters and take a right turn... it's just that somehow, somehow... I always find my self doing a 360 at the dead end by the toilet paper...

Barely, barely but

So thing is, my natural smile doesn't really make me look like I'm smiling. Unless I'm actively laughing, I have to make quite an effort to not look suspicious or fradulent. I suppose it's a Russian thing, we all know how real Russians don't smile.

The event photographer was disappointed with my participation to such an extent, that he decided to open a program, copy my face from another photo and paste it onto the original. When I right clicked to save the image, the file was even named "DSC-048-SMILE".

Oh hell no, you ain't ruining my masterpiece missy.

Although he did upload both versions of the photo...

Damn Russians...

There were a few more photos that I managed to perfectly ruin. Wonder why he kept them like that...
I suppose he realised the young woman in blue was beyond salvation.

"I'm going to put a chili on my food"

Bibimbap

Gym at last, after a week of virus and recovery. This feeling is the best.

Afterwards had food at "Korean House" with Dennis A. and his sister. This is another Dennis that I've known since primary school. I had bibimbap (without egg, obviously) and it was mmmm' I just want to eat it again right now!!

We also went to see Dollal sleeping in his car at a parking lot near downtown. He would have joined us for some Korean if it wasn't for his 24 hours 0 sleep. Besides, he had already eaten a "pommestallrik". I took some photos but he would mind me publishing these. Hehe.

what, whaat?

Just painted my nails. What a nice idea to have them dry a bit on the balcony, in the sun and the wind.

Yes very nice, this is so efficient. But wait... I was breathing nailpolish for almost 15 minutes. At least 10 minutes... that's not good. I should cough.

Attempting two loud and violent coughings. I spit on the ground. Well done Maria.

Then! Straight down, in front of the stairs, from absolutely nowhere...!!
"Oh, don't mind me I was just walking by..!" *Old man waving with bouquet of flowers*

I try to hide behind the handrail to conceal myself... discretely as he might not have noticed yet, that I'm topless... judging by the angle I'm not really able to hide...

"I didn't see you..." says I...
"What, whaat? Can't hear you!" *walking closer to hear better*
"I DIDN'T SEE YOU!!"
"Oh! Yes I'm going now... just walking by... from house 33!"

Firstly no one ever walks there... only my neighbor is allowed to... also it's impossible to see someone standing at the balcony except from ONE spot on that road, the one where he was standing... and had I not coughed neither me nor him would have noticed eachother...

Well... let's say that I've been on the lookout ever since...

Feeling the pressure

I've been experiencing... powerful... sneezes. Yes my sneezings have really been putting effort into themselves.

After I woke up today I fell asleep again... wait, there's more to it... I had a dream that I was back home in Sweden and that there was a dinosaur outside the bathroom window. Some sort of spinosaurus, but without the chinese windpuffer... gold and orange, beautiful. Anyways I happily realised I was in a dream and took the opportunity to control what I did. I broke off a thumb from the dragon (slight alteration) to investigate my abilities, after which it went away... I jumped out of the window and landed perfectly, ignored Jasmine and began to run. I ran so fast! Then desperately tried to fly but it really, really didn't work. I could feel how I was simply unable to.

I learned that I have to believe more in myself... yes somehow I learned that.

Googled "windpuffer" and there is actually a word as such, related to the distal limbs of horses.

Soft monkey Make Up Tutorial

I just thought it sounded funny. But if anyone wants it?

Pé-em-ess

Who says that PMS does not exist? I am not normal, and can say with certainty that I'm having my period in 4 - 5 days.

Three good things about PMS:
1. When you're angry people get scared of you and retreat, THEN return with the purpose to make you happy.
2. When you're sad you are full of self-pity, yet heartbroken for everyone else. Any story is touching and weeping is out of control. People start bothering you with anything that could make you smile.
3. When you're happy, you are VERY happy. There's LOVE and life can only be defined as pure beauty. I want to cuddle in this sofa forever... <333

Once I (accidentally) ate Dennis last quarter of a Magyáros pizza. When he discovered that his last pizza was gone, I started laughing hysterically at my deed. Had to lean towards a wall for support. Then I realised that Dennis could be mad about it, started sliding down along the wall into a sitting position, crying. Not sure if it was a strategic move or if I was truly sad... but I wept. A lot.

It is unfortunate that PMS only lasts for a few hours per month.

How to disappear a weekend

Really have to start studying pathology for the final exams, so this morning... I wanted to go to the gym first... but not a chance that I'd go without food so really had to eat something... but food had to be cooked... could hear the wind storming outside and judging by the non-amount of light passing through the curtain, certainly sun wasn't about to visit Debrecen any soon... damn the bed was magnetic... could not leave... not sure what it was that made we leave... had a really good session at the gym and Dennis and I made amazing spring rolls but I still haven't studied and it's 1.30 AM :)

E-day

SO I want to start swimming a bit again. Julian feels the same. We decided to go 9 AM this morning to Sport Uszoda to get a good start of this must-study-day. I was sooo tired when I woke up though.

So we went there, but stop - today there was some sort of swimming club championship so we were not allowed to swim... We watched them swim for a while... and had a coffee.

Once back home I decided that I MUST have some sleep. Couldn't fall asleep! That damn coffee! Finally after some hours in bed I fell asleep and slept until 16.30. By then I still hadn't gotten any exercise so I had to hit the gym, because I won't have time to go anywhere for two days now. Grocery shopping, shower, dinner. Finally around 10 PM I could start studying, but Dennis and I watched a movie instead.

I just finished the pathology minimals now, 3.30 AM. So much for my efficient Saturday looooooooooool.

Lame hardship

I think that it's sooo hard to take a nice photo at the gym. Firstly it's embarrassing and secondly the gym lighting is very, very pro strange shadows. Also I never bring my phone into the gym unless I need it as timer/stopwatch.

M: Can you help me take a picture?
D: OK.

This was the result (HAHA).

IQ: lololol

D: Hur säger man hammare på engelska?
M: Hamburger.
D: Va?
M: Hamburger.
D: Va?
M: Va??
D: Du trollar mig!
M: Hamburger!! Hamburger. Hamburger.
D: Maria, hammare!
M: Jahaa jag tyckte du sa hamburgare. Hammer.
D: Aha ja just det, hammer.

How do you say "hammer" in English? Hamburger. What? Hamburger. What? What?? You're trolling me! Hamburger!! Hamburger. Hamburger. Maria, "hammer"! Ohh, I thought you said "hamburger". It's hammer. Oh right, hammer.

Update: Dennis insists that I should add, that he only wanted to hear me pronounce the word "hammer" in English. Of course, he knows the word hammer.
