Hello there!

6 min read



Well, it certainly seems like all I do on dA is write 'I'm back'-journals :giggle: Seems like I'm gonna be sticking around for a while now though. Not quite so busy, and also not so tired when I get home as I was before Christmas.

Yes, it's really been that long. The number of deviations and journals in my message center is proof of that. I seriously had over 12.000 messages! :omfg: I know, right? How is that even possible, you say? Well, you try watching around 200 people, where quite a few of them are GMs or really just posts a lot and you'll get there too in about six months. If I hadn't deleted most of the journals I'd probably use six months just to get through what's there. At least it's been cleaned out now though :woohoo:



Part of the reason I've been gone so long is because of the insane amount of work I've been doing. I've been working 40-hour weeks at my regular job and then I have a weekend job as well. Oh the thrills of having to pay back the student loan for a degree that's basically useless  :stupidme:  Right now I actually have three jobs. One as a telemarketer, one as a bartender/DJ and one as a home services employee. It's not all fun and games growing up I gotta say. And I who always thought life would be easier once I grew up! :crying:

With my return to dA I bring a new CSS by the lovely GinkgoWerkstatt  I swear, after using her journals I'm never going back. They are simply the best out there. No wonder she's the GM for that part of dA. She really knows her stuff.

But now, a few features!

And it really is. There's been frost on the road twice this week, and I don't think it's gonna stop anytime soon. Call me back in April for a frost-free environment. I do love the light this time of year though, especially at sunset. Walking home from work yesterday there was this beautiful, warm light through the trees and I wish I'd had my camera with me. Oh well, I'll see what I can do later.

In other news, I've taken a second job to help pay my bills. No matter what anyone say you don't really get more money after you've finished school. Well you do, but you have more things you have to pay like insurance, rent, phone bills and quite a lot more I don't wanna get into. Anyway, I've got a job as a cloakroom clerk at the local gay bar. It's actually pretty fun since I can hang out with my friends and instead of spending money I'm earning it. And before you ask, this place is nothing like the Blue Oyster. If you don't get that reference, then shame on you! I have this weekend off though, after three weekends working. I can't wait to relax and maybe go out on Saturday. No cover charge for me! :D




Lately I've had some bad luck and some luck and then some more luck. You see, last weekend my scooter was stolen when I was at work. I was pissed to say the least, 'cause it's my baby! Besides, I was planning on riding it home from work at 3 am when there are no buses going my way. But no, I had to get a ride from my boss, who luckily was there. I was so tense I didn't get to sleep until six am that night.

The next morning I woke up by a rather pleasant phone call from the police. Someone had found my scooter! Unfortunately I couldn't start it since the thief had ruined the ignition. Now my bike's being fixed, and it won't cost too much thanks to a very good insurance. To be honest, I don't really care how much I have to pay. I'm just glad someone found it and it's fixable!

Well, I'm off to check out my message center. Toodles! ;)

Wow. It's been a while. Haven't posted here since May or something! And just look at my messages! I've got around 3000 messages left to do! Maybe I should just start over and remove all the journals and news... I mean, what use do I have of going through three month old news?

Anyway, it's good to be back! Anything important I need to know? Drop me a line and fill me in! Oh, and how do I get a portfolio? Link me please!




So what has kept me so busy that I didn't have time for dA? Well, I finished my Bachelor's Degree in occupational therapy! :D  I'm currently applying to jobs while still working my telemarketing job. Other than that I've actually had a social life! :shock: I know, it's a shocker!

BTW, did you know today is my two-year anniversary here on dA? Wow. It doesn't feel that long! Crazy!

Well, that's all I have time for right now. I gotta go clean out my message center! Toodles! :D

Happy Constitution Day my fellow Norwegians, wherever you may be!

Today we have many reasons to celebrate, not only the signing of the Constitution back in 1814. Let's also celebrate the fine weather (which seems to be all around the country), ice cream and children! And don't forget Alexander Rybak's great victory last night! I hope you all have a wonderful day! :D




So what are your plans for the day? I'm not gonna bother with the parade. In my opinion it's mainly for the kids and their parents, and since I'm not even near a kid this year I'll pass that up. I think I'm just gonna stay home, eat ice cream with peanuts, nonstop and chocolate syrup and watch a few movies. Maybe catch the rerun of Eurovision later on. That's my idea of a celebration!

EUROVISION!!!

3 min read



EDIT: Thank you Europe! We beat Lordi's record to a pulp! Almost a hundred points more than the European record! Amazing! We couldn't do it without you! You are all welcome to Norway in a year for the next Eurovision! Now it's time for :party: :cake: :dance:



Europe, turn on your television and find your phones!

I'm usually not that into Eurovision Song Contest but this time I even found the time to see the semi-finals! The reason? I wanted to see Norway's competition. After seeing all the contributions I still think Alexander Rybak's song is the best, mostly because of his presence on stage and his musicality. It doesn't hurt that he's cute as hell either, and his charm will win over even the hardest cynic! For once I think we might actually win! Wish Norway luck!

For you guys who haven't heard his song, go here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8JRtG…
