Madeleine de la Tour d'Auvergne
I don't wanna go home from Canada yet!! What am I going to do without my friends?! I just realized I have some of my best friends here. What am I gonna do without Sheena, Lillian, Jenna, Courtney, Peter, Sheila, Candace, Maddie, Lisa, Cassy, Hannah and Jenny? What?! And the school!!!! What am I going to do in my old school when I've been to Port Moody and had drama with mr Watts and vocal tech with mrs Sluyter and law with mr Krahn and choir with mrs Sluyter and dance with ms Yorston (and Spanish with mr Kent but I could live without that)! What am I going to do in freaking Mediagymnasiet?! Only three weeks left and I am losing it. At least Candace is taking me downtown this weekend to show me all the touristy stuff. Might go to Buntzen Lake this weekend with Lillian as well, otherwise we're doing that the weekend after this one. Shall ask Candace if she wants to go up to Grouse Mountain as well, she said at Senior Sail that she wanted to bring me there. Darlene was talking about some Christmas parade downtown as well, going to google that. Darlene's brother is also famous here for the Christmas decorations he puts on his house, the tourtist buses actually stop outside his house, so she's going to take me and Helen there.
AND TO SPEAK SWEDISH ALL THE TIME! That's gonna be soooo lame. Shoot me.
Anyways. Today was a really good day. Had choir first thing in the morning, where I was the German person again. After that I had vocal tech, and I performed my Lucia song (Så mörk är natten). It went really good actually. Gaby said that she really liked my projection and that my tone was really clear. Simona said that she's so fascinated by Swedish. Spanish class after that, where I did my oral presentation with a guy named Jacob. It went really well, I got 18 out of 20 which means there was only one glitch. Me and Jacob were supposed to have a three minute long spontaneous (that means we didn't get to prepare it) conversation about a surprise party in Spanish, and I only have one glitch, and that was that I said fiesta sorpresa instead of fiesta de sorpresa. That was better than anyone in the class, just saying...
Hung out in the film room as usual with Cassy, Catey, Peter, Taylor, Sheila and Candace during lunch. Law after that, don't really remember what we did in class, just remember laughing at Jeff and Cassy. It was fun. Drama after that in which we had a sub teacher called mr Draydale I think. We got a new assignment, we were divided up in groups (I'm with Hannah, Angie and Peter) and each group got to choose a type of historical theatre to base a project upon. We originally chose Renaissance theatre, but I managed to convince the rest of the group to choose Medieval European theatre instead. Sounds so much more fun.
Dance after that during which Alva, Lindsay and Tessa held a bellydance workshop! It was really fun, and I actually did pretty well! It was not like last time when the guys in the class did a workshop in breakdancing, I failed pretty brutally. On Wednesday and Friday, there's going to be a professional bellydancer teaching us bellydancing and salsa I think it was. It's gonna be so much fun!!

Once upon a time (like a month ago or so), there was a Sound of Music performance in Brentwood Mall. I videotaped it, just need to figure out how to post videos on here because I have quite a lot to show you.
Keep talking about that ball of light touching your heart, and she'll come around
Tomorrow's choir, dance and Spanish oral presentation about surprise parties! Håll i hatten om livet är dig kärt!
Goodnight!
P.S.
It is today the 28th of November, which means.. I only have one month left as a sixteenyearold! Buhuuu! :'( It also means.. it's my birthday in just a month! Whoop whoop :D

There was a while ago a flashmob in Metrotown
När första ljuset brinner...
Idag är det Harry Potter igen med Candace och hennes syrra & mamma! Wihoooooo!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D Skulle egentligen gå med Lillian men hon kunde inte. Nu ska jag duscha, sen börja på och göra klart spanskagrejen, och sen är det nog dags att åka. Bion börjar halv sju eller sju.

Väldigt vacker bild Peter tog på väg till Harry Potter förra veckan.
Rebecka Alma Lise Bohlin
Mamma: Men jag tycker inte att det är normalt att gå och lägga sig klockan ett på dagen, så jag gjorde inte så som du sa. Du är inte så bra på det här med tidsskillnader. Men en sak kan du väl lära dig; när det är kväll hos dig så betyder det att det inte är kväll hos mig.
Carole: Mamma säger at så då gör jag också det! Fast resten säger snabel-a.
1. If you had to get a tattoo, where would you get it?
On my back or ankle.
2. If you had to dye your hair a colour, what colour would it be?
Blonde
3. If you had to get a piercing (that's not your ears), what would you pierce?
Probably my eyebrow/belly button.
If you had to change your name, what new name would you choose?
Could I have been asked a more impossible question? Hm.. Probably Astrid or Freja. Or Marion. ´
4. Would you move anywhere else if you could?
No, Stockholm's the best. If I had to move somewhere else, it'd be somewhere else in Sweden. If I had to move outside of Sweden, it'd be somewhere else in Scandinavia, probably Denmark. If it had to outside of Scandinavia, then probably Canada.
5. If you had the chance to go to Paris, would you go?
Such a stupid question.
6. If you were given 10 million dollars to keep, what would you do?
Oh my God. I would.. like.. I don't even know. Travel like everywhere and buy houses all over the world and buy a castle to live in and hire someone to trick Crown Princess Victoria into changing professions with me so she'd be the one going to Mediagymnasiet and I'd be Crown Princess of Sweden. Mohahahahaha.
7. Let's say you had to eat a live tarantula for $1,000... would you?
N.O.!
8. Let's say you could star in any movie (made or in the works), what movie?
Harry Potter. No doubt. Other movies I'd like to star in are the one about Anne Boleyn with Helena Bonham Carter that I forget the name of, any Johnny Depp movie that has been or will ever be made. Pirates of the Caribbean, of course, but I guess that's included in Depp-movies.
9. What makes your bedroom unique?
Well, the fact that it's my bedroom is pretty unique I guess. As far as I know, there aren't any other bedrooms in the world that are my bedrooms.
10. What's your favourite season of the year?
Winter!
11. Do you like cheese?
On sandwich, yes.
1. Have you had your birthday yet?
Well, if by birthday you mean the day I was born, I'm pretty sure, yes. This year, no.
2. Are you the same person as you were at the beginning of 2010?
...... I'm pretty sure I'm not schizofrenic, but you never know!
3. Are you still doing the same job?
Job = school I guess, then no. Well, depends. I'm still in the same school, while I'm at another school as well. I guess no.
4. Is your favourite colour the same colour?
Yep, blue is still my favourite.
5. Have you got the same style/colour when it comes to hair?
Uhmm, I actually don't know, I don't remember what I looked like almost a year ago. I guess my hair looks different, kind of impossible to escape unless you're bald á la Dalai Lama, which I am not.
6. Have you bought a new car this year?
Not that I know of, no.
7. Anything exciting happened this year?
Yes, definitely.
8. Have you been involved with the police this year?
Again, not that I know of, but I'm also not sure whether I am schizofrenic or not. You never know.
9. Is your best friend still your best friend?
Yes!
10. Got any tattoos or piercings this year?
Nope.
11. Had a haircut this year?
Yes.
12. Been in a hospital this year?
Not that I can remember.

Do you...
1. Whine a lot? My other personality might.
2. Yell a lot? Don't think so.
3. Want to die? No, that'd be quite unpleasant.
4. Wear dark colours? Never actually thought of it. I guess, since most of my pants are dark.
5. Dye your hair? Well, I have, but right now it's undyed.
Have you ever...
1. Worn rainbow? What? Have I ever worn a rainbow? How could I possibly wear a rainbow? What kind of a question is that? Are you drunk?
2. Talked on the phone for over three hours: I'm not sure but I don't think so.
3. Left the country? Does four months in Canada count?
4. Flashed anyone? What? I don't even know what these stupid questions are talking about.
5. Had a party with over thirty people? I've been to a party with over thirty people but I've never thrown one.
6. Stolen something? I might have taken someone's rubber when I was little, if that counts. Oh yeah, and I took something from my school when I was in grade 1 too, I don't remember what it was. Oh yeah, it was a toy cellphone. I told mum I found it in the forest.
7. Put something on fire? Uhmmm, no.
Last person...
1. You talked to? I think that'd be Ken.
2. You hugged? I think either my friend Peter or my friend Farishteh.
3. You called: Mum.
4. Who called you: Candace.
Next person...
1. You'll talk to? How would I know? I'm not psychic as far as I know. But most likely Darlene.

Hopefully no one, but you never know with those freaky ghosts. Who knows, Marie Antoinette herself might be reading my Donald Ducks this very second.
2. Favourite sport?
To watch: dance & probably hockey, but I have no idea. To do; dancing, badminton, ice skating, skiing.
3. Been on a plane?
Kind of hard to escape, you know, being from Sweden but currently living in Canada...
You're a rich girl and it's gone too far 'cause you know it don't matter anyway
Okay. Time for Spanish studying. Kill me. Tomorrow's hopefully Harry Potter with Lillian and two more people! I will pass out from happiness if it does happen.

Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly
Too tired to upload the pictures from my cell that I took, so this will suffice until tomorrow morning. Goodnight!
P.S.
It is now illegal to say "merry Christmas" in Canada. Unbelieveable! They base that on that there are so "many" (12% in Canada) who don't celebrate Christmas, and therefor, if someone would make the mistake to wish any of them a merry Christmas, they're worried they'll be offended. As if I, who do celebrate Christmas, would be offended if someone wished me a happy Hanukka! Must be damn bitter people to be offended by such a thing in that case.
However, it is not illegal to wish someone who doesn't celebrate Hanukka a happy Hanukka. Even though the risk of that happening is way bigger since 88% of all Canadians do celebrate Christmas. But apparently, people who celebrate Hanukka get more easily offended. You are from now on not allowed to say "merry Christmas" in Canada, you shall instead say "happy holidays" or "happy winterbreak". Ridiculous!
D.S.

What's the story? Morning Glory
Today was like one of the funniest days so far. After school, I went to the mall with my friend Lillian, who's like my best friend here. We didn't really know what to do, we were supposed to watch the sixth Harry Potter movie because she hasn't seen it yet, but we couldn't because we didn't have a place to watch it in, because we can't do it at my house because I wasn't sure the DVD player in my room works, and her brother had occupied the tv at her place 'cause it was hockey-night. So we hang out at the mall for like hours and hours just running around being silly. We ended up lying upside down on a bench laughing our heads off at absolutely nothing. And then we went to the movie theatre after hours and hours of walking ten thousand laps around the mall, and watched Morning Glory. It was so good!! The main characters, Becky and Mike, are played by Rachel McAdams and Harrison Ford; two of my favorite actors of all time. It's about Becky, who's an executive producer for a tv-show called Morning Jersey or something like that. She gets fired, and ends up working at a tv-show called DayBreak, which is a show with like two viewers. So her job is basically to get Mike, a very famous and successful old news anchar, to do a shit show like DayBreak, and eventually, the show becomes a success.
After watching that movie, I have this sudden urge to become a journalist. Well, it's at least in the top 7 dream jobs. I think. I don't know why though, the movie had nothing to do with journalists. Oh well.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland ♫♬
Anyways. Yesterday, someone in the office at school announced that we're expecting five centimeters of snow (OHMYGAAAASH WE'LL DROWN IN SNOOOWWW), and because of that, all the students should be watching the news all the time in case they would close the schools. Because apparently, that happens every other day here. I'm like.............. okaaay, five centimeters of snow and society stops..............
School wasn't closed today, but my buses were. Peter told me at school that Hannah's stuck in Heritage Woods. I asked why, and he said the buses to there aren't running. I was like.... I LIVE THERE, how do I get home?! But then I remembered I was going to the Scandinavian Centre after school. But what if it's closed tomorrow too? What'll I do?
Tomorrow's Black Friday in the states too. Black Friday is the night before (I think?) American Thanksgiving when there's a HUGE sale in the states, and everyone goes shopping at midnight. It's apparently extremely insane. I want to go, but there's no way I can get there. Darlene is going with her friend, but they're going tomorrow (Friday) morning at six o'clock am instead, and apparently, none of my friends are going. I don't know. It'd be so much fun to go to Seattle before I go home. Hopefully I will, it's only a two hour drive so I could always ask Candace, she's up for anything and her mom'd drive us to China if we wanted her to.

Katleigh & Bree
From the Matchmakers
(BREE, 18, and KATLEIGH, 16, are at the mall.)
KATLEIGH: Your parents are getting divorced?!
BREE: Yep.
KATLEIGH: Are you serious?
BREE: Apparently the marriage counselor convinced them.
KATLEIGH: Oh my God!
BREE: I know. My parents can't get divorced, it's not -
KATLEIGH (cutting her off): This is horrifying. This could happen to anyone. What if it happened to me and Chase?
BREE: You're not married. You can't get divorced.
KATLEIGH: Check it out! (She shows her ring finger.) I'm getting married! Woo!
BREE: That's a class ring.
KATLEIGH: We're using it as an engagement rint until he can save up enough money to buy one. I'm getting married!
BREE: You're sixteen.
KATLEIGH: I know! How awesome is this?!
BREE: You can't get married at sixteen.
KATLEIGH: My mom totally approves. But here's the best part: I want you to be my maid of honour.
BREE: Really?
KATLEIGH: Please? It would mean so much to me.
BREE: This seems a little rushed, Katleigh.
KATLEIGH: When you know, you know. He's the one. It's just like that Taylor Swift song. Love story. It came true.
BREE: Okay.
KATLEIGH: What's your deal?
BREE: I'm just not all that keen on love right now. I mean, my parents have been together for twenty-three years and all of a sudden -
KATLEIGH: That's because they weren't soul mates like me and Chase. We know about love.
BREE: I'm sure you do.
KATLEIGH: You know what you need, Bree? A new boyfriend.
BREE: I just dumped my old boyfriend!
KATLEIGH: And now you're single. Which is another word for desperate.
BREE: You can be single and not desperate.
KATLEIGH: Please. I think I know a little bit more about this than you do. I haven't been single for more than two days since the fourth grade. And believe me, fourth grade was a pretty dark time in my life.
BREE: I'm fine with being single.
KATLEIGH: Oh, Bree. You make me smile sometimes. We'll get you through this together. The first question you need to ask yourself is: what is wrong with me that I cannot accept love?
BREE: What?
KATLEIGH: You had a perfectly good guy -
BREE: He took me to Wendy's for homecoming.
KATLEIGH: So?
BREE: So that's ridiculous.
KATLEIGH: Maybe the fault was with you, huh? Maybe the Wendy's... is inside you.
BREE: That doesn't make any sense at all.
KATLEIGH: Whenever I have a problem with Chase or he does something I don't like, I take a step back and think, how did I cause Chase to behave like that? Men are like dogs, Bree. You have to train them. And if they misbehave, then you've failed in your training. They can't help it. You didn't give Devin the right road map for homecoming, so he disappointed you.
BREE: You're a little bit insane, you know that?
KATLEIGH: But I'm happy, and isn't that what matters? Let's go get a smoothie.
BREE: I can't, I gotta go help my dad move out.
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Been spending most of the time since I came home from school trying to memorize the new script I got yesterday in drama. It's two girls, Bree and Katleigh (I'm Katleigh and my friend Nicole is Bree). I'll write down the whole script for you in the next post. I'm trying to get into character too, it's quite hard even though I feel like I got the easier of the two parts because Katleigh is more.. insane than Bree. I feel like the weirder, the easier to connect with. Not saying that I'm insane (not saying that I'm not), but it's easier to give life to a character that's more charasteristic (?).
Also been watching videos on youtube with random actors talking about characters they've played. It's given some kind of inspiration. Mostly Helena Bonham Carter of course. Some Anne Hathaway as well.



Some ten year old boys performing at the Indian festival thing I went to a few weeks ago. They were absolutely brilliant!! Filmed some of it, will post it as soon as I figure out how to.

Peter and Sheila at Starbucks
Bloody brilliant
So anyways. Had choir practice as usual this morning. It was good fun, since I'm the only non-Canadian/Asian, I was also the only one being able to pronounce the lyrics for the German song we're singing and eventually performing. I read two lines, they followed. Then we sang it. I read two lines, they followed, then we sang it and so on 'til the end of the song.
Blues Monday today and therefor no dancing. Blues Mondays are every other Monday, and on these Mondays we get off one hour earlier. There are never any danceclasses on Blues.
Found out on my way home from school that my friend Sheldon moved from Maple Ridge (which is a good twenty minutes by car away from here) to Heritage Woods (where I live) yesterday, so we'll be taking the same bus in the mornings and after school.
Time to do some history stuff. And my room smells like Christmas because of my oranges with cloves in them! Bloody brilliant.

Snow on the ground everywhere nowadays, this picture is taken outside the Scandinavian Centre

This is the sailing place that I've been to twice with my friend Katrina and her family that's half Swedish. I even got to go out in a boat, it was superfun! (And slippery, almost fell off as I was sitting on the edge.)

You can't really tell from the picture, but this house, across the street from where Katrina lives, was absolutely covered in Halloween decorations.

While we were watching the Halloween fireworks from Maddie's balcony, something went wrong and all of a sudden, fire just shot from one side of the field to the other, and made a wall of fire. It was pretty scary, but it went down almost as sudden as it had shown up.

Do we have this kind of leaves in Sweden? They kind of remind me of something disgusting I ate when I was little, that we can't figure out what it was. I can feel the taste in my mouth as soon as I think of them, and it makes me just wanna throw up a little bit. So I took a picture of them.

Science World

Right next to Science World
Make way for the heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through
I wish I had a British accent rather than this boring Canadian one I've got now that everyone speaks. I got one now that I've been spending the last hour watching interviews with the Harry Potter cast, I take on accents when I speak English rather easily, I think that's why I had a more American accent than most Swedes even before I came here, even though my Swedish accent was definitely stronger than it is now, it wasn't as strong as most people. I suck at mimicking accents in Swedish though, probably because I'm more used to the Stockholm accent than I am to speaking English in general. The British one I've got right now will be gone by tomorrow morning though, and I will have gone back to the old boring Canadian one. Yes, there's a difference between Canadian and American. There is a difference in the speaking in general that I can't tell, but Canadians say certain words differently, like they say again like agäjn rather than the American agänn. And about like aboot rather than the American abaut. Not quite there yet.
In case you were wondering.
Bedtime now and up in a few hours for choir practice! Goodnight!

Ginny Weasley
La Gloria te esta esperando
Ellos son mis canciones más escuchan. No incluido ABBA porque it would take me diez años para upload todas.
Pulling up to the parties, trying to get a little bit tipsy
Sitter och fjollar mig och spelar in videos när jag mimar till ABBA-låtar. Känner mig extremt svensk nu. Lyssnar på ABBA, har på min stickade strumpor, stickad tjocktröja, stickad mössa, och skotskrutiga pyjamasshorts. Okej, förutom det sista då. Annars känner jag mig som en same.
Idag har det varit svensk julmarknad på Scandinavian Centre. Fick sitta i pysselhörnan och göra tusen och åter tusen smällkarameller till ungar som var för små/lata. Gjorde en till mig också, men det vart lite fail eftersom God Jul-texten vart uppochner och jag glömde lägga i godis. Jaja. Jag har ändå aldrig lyckats komma ihåg att lägga i godiset någon gång i mitt liv så vad gör väl det om hundra år.
Kunde ändå gå runt och glutta lite på alla svennebananheter. Det var mest stickade sockor och runskrift. Smorgasboard (smörgåsbord alltså, för alla efterblivna) och lussebullar och julmust och böcker om tomtar och en fin, komplicerad, norsk ostskärare (GUD, har glömt vad såna heter. OSTHYVEL!! Har funderat på det där hela dagen). Vet ni, att jag har i princip inte tänkt på svenska alls på tre månader, men nu när jag pratade mer svenska än engelska idag i och med julmarknaden + ringt mamma så gör jag det just nu, och då hör jag drottning Silvia säga det jag tänker. Why?!
Pysslade lite själv i min ensamhet. Det kom inga ungar förrän mot slutet. Då vart det packat. Satt i finska rummet så det var bara massa böcker på finska där, så det fanns inte så mycket att syssla med. Så jag pysslade. Gjorde en oerhört vacker pappersgran, två apelsiner med såna där svarta prickar i (namnet på dem är likt nektariner, det här är tredje gången jag glömmer bort det ordet ikväll), och en piprensare med pärlor på. Mycket invecklat. Köpte ett halsbandet med bokstaven R i runskrift. Gubben som sålde dem försökte lura mig och sa att R:et betydde resa, och inte var bokstaven R vilket "one would think at first sight". Men nej, gubbe lilla, så komplicerat är det inte. R är ett R bara, inte något psykologiskt Aristoteles-krafs.
Köpte ett par sockor också. Inte vanliga sockor, nej nej, dessa är stickade av två finska gummor i stickade luvor! Jajamänsan. Plus att de är ankelsockor. Komplicerade grejer.

Min konstnärliga pappersjulgran. Det står God Jul i skrivstil, det väckte rabalder på centret då alla vuxna på pysslet frågade om vi verkligen lär oss att skriva så i skolan i Sverige.

Bild på mig och min socka. Fint.

Jag och min socka igen. Den på bilden heter Benny och den andra heter Björn.

Och där ligger Björn på siesta

Fin ring som man kan hänga i granen om man vill. Känner du dig inspirerad till att göra en? Ingredienser: piprensare och pärlor. Men var beredd på att inte lyckas, inte alla som kan det här. Det krävs ett proffs.

Min smällkaramell utan godis. God Jul är uppochner. Det är fint.

Benny & Björn. Sitter som handsken!
Glömde ta bild på mitt halsband. Det kommer imorgon, då ska jag köra en bomb med random bilder som jag inte har postat än! Typ som dagen då man samlar alla rester man har i kylen och gör slut på't.
Two hours and thirty minutes of pure heaven
It was like the best two hours and thirty minutes of my life since the last one came out. W.O.W. Blimey, they're so brilliant (<--- typical Ron-language, he keeps saying "blimey" and "brilliant" in every sentence). They really are, all of them. It's like they took all the best actors in the world and put them in the movies that are based upon the best books that have ever been written. It's like two hours and thirty minutes of pure heaven (kind of ironic considering how dark the movies really are, but whatever). I was positively surprised by Emma Watson's (Hermione) performance in this movie. I've never really liked her as much as the others, I always thought she was being a bit over-dramatical and a bit cheesy, but she was one of my favorites in this one. Along with Harry, Ron, Bill Weasley, Bellatrix, Fred, George, Voldemort and Luna Lovegood. Yeah, pretty much everyone. One thing I missed in the movie was all the Fred and George stuff that was in the book. In the beginning, George loses his ear, and in the book, he and Fred are constantly making all these hilarious ear-jokes. It pretty much never happens in other books, but whenever I read the Harry Potter books, they make me laugh out loud, which is pretty much impossible. It's only happened so far in Harry Potter and Donald Duck.
It was awesome. Endlessly amazing. I'm going to go and see it at least once more. And when I get back to Sweden, I'm gonna kickstart my acting career for real. This would be a way better place to do it, because it's the third largest film city in the world (number one is Bollywood, then Hollywood, and third Vancouver), and a lot of movies were filmed here (it's funny because whenever I watch a movie, I keep recognizing myself and I realize it was shot here). But since I'm not a Canadian citizen and I don't have a VISA, I can't get paid, and so I can't work. I can do anything as long as I don't get paid, but pretty much everything here is big stuff that you get paid big money for. Like for example, my friend Peter worked for five days on a tv-show called Supernatural, a tv-show called Hellcats and a movie that's gonna be showing soon in the theatres called Tron: Legacy, and he got around eleven thousand dollars for those five days of work. I'm a wee bit jealous, I must say.
Tomorrow morning I have to get up as early as seven o'clock, because I'm going to be helping out with the Christmas market at the Scandinavian Centre. It really starts at eleven, but apparently, I have to be there at eight because my ride has to be there at eight.
Goodnighty!

Vow of Silence
Molle; Hehehehhe jag veeeet, fett tung. Nej, jag har inte informerat Nils-Alex om detta. Hhiihi, Snor-Kalle va! Nämen vadå inte blond, efter att man sett hur o-blonda kanadensare är så är inte ens ögon helt bländade av svennar, så nu vet jag vad blond är. Axel är blond. Believe me.
So today was a pretty interesting day. First of all, I didn't say one word during the entire school day. Wooow! I'm impressed. Well, I did cheat a little bit. Right when I came to school, and I saw Jenny and Naomi in the cafeteria on my way to vocal tech, I just completely forgot that I wasn't allowed to talk or communicate in any way (including texting, internet in general, sign language etc.), but the thought of the fact that we're going to see Harry Potter tomorrow just completely blew everything else out of my head. So I decided that when the first bell rings, that's when I stop talking. And I did. I didn't say one word. I mimed a lot, yes, and used a lot of sign language. But let's just decide I didn't communicate at all.
Now, the reason why I wasn't allowed to talk all day was because today was Vow of Silence Day. In solidarity of all the poor kids who are every day silenced by poverty and exploitation, everyone goes silent. It said everywhere all over the school, "Don't take your voice for granted because you never know when it will stop being heard". The whole school didn't go silent, but at least more than half. Last year, pretty much everyone went silent apparently. It caused some trouble for the teachers. Today was performance day in vocal tech, but only a few could talk. Today was also performance day in drama, but only very few could talk. Mr. Kent had (of course) a problem with that. It was sooo good to be able to just sit there and not do all the exercises in ten seconds because I didn't have to worry about him asking me a question. Best Spanish class ever. Last year, everyone in Spanish class was silent, so there wasn't much to do, as the only thing we ever do in Spanish class is to answer the questions mr. Kent asks us. Last year, he had no one to ask, so he simply enough didn't show up for the class. Haha!
Yeah, so everyone walked around with ducttape on their mouth all day. It was pretty awesome! Some people (Ben, cough cough) didn't make it. The people who weren't being silent were constantly trying to break the rest of us. Nicole managed to break Ben, and Courtney was this (-) close to breaking me.
Today was the Swedish school too. It wasn't Lucia practice, as I thought, that begins Thursday next week. A guy in the adult class asked me if I wanted to go to some place downtown on Sunday and get Dimmu Borgir's (a Norwegian death metal band) autograph. He told me to wear vampire fangs and red and white make-up. I said no.
TOMORROW'S HARRY POTTEEEERRRRR! I long for it so much I'll probably die in my sleep. I actually got nervous about it earlier today, when I really realized that I'm gonna see a new Harry Potter movie tomorrow for the very first time. HOW AWESOME?!

Jag och Farishteh

I'm an ordinary human instead of being a beautiful princess mermaid. I love that.
Mystery of the day; Okej. Jag ringde mamma ikväll, sen när jag la på så gick jag på toa. Och sen gick jag tillbaka till mitt rum och skulle hämta telefonen och sätta tillbaka den i laddningsmockajängen. Jag hittar inte telefonjäkeln, så jag finkammar hela mitt rum i jakt på den. En timme senare så går jag ner i köket och ser telefonen sitta i laddningsmockajängen. Hur hamnade den där?!
Jaja. Nu somnar jag snart. Ska upp om någon timme eller så, klockan är tio i elva och ska upp fem för imorgon är det kööööör klockan halv åtta. Godnatt!

Så här bra är min webcam

En sak har Jenny och Sheldon och prinsessan Diana gemensamt; de är skillade på att tajma.

Princess Diana behövde en powernap

Det gjorde Jenny och Sheldon också mitt under Senior Sail
In Stiller Nacht
ein Stimm beginnt zu klagen
der nächt'ge Wind hat leis und lind
zu mir den Klang getragen
Von herbem Leid und Traurigkeit
ist mir das Herz zerflossen
Die Blümelein
mit Tränen mein
hab ich sie all begossen
Der schöne Mond will untergeh'n
dem leid nicht mehr mag scheinen
Die Sterne fein im Glitzerschein
mit mir sie wollen weinen
Kein Vogelsang noch Freudenklang
man höret in den Lüften
Die wilden Tier' trauern auch mit mir
in Steinen und in Klüften
Auf Wiedersehen!
With our wassailing bowl we´ll drink to thee
På kören övade vi på en julsång som vi ska sjunga, en av två. Vet inte än om vi ska uppträda dem eller vad som är tanken. Ena heter i alla fall "Joy on Christmas Morning", och den andra är på tyska och heter "In Stillen Nacht". Skulle kunna tro att det är Stilla natt på tyska, speciellt som den engelska översättningen på titeln var Silent Night, men nicht, det var det icke! Det var fett med sköj att sjunga på tyska i alla fall, eftersom att jag plus läraren (som är från Tyskland) är de enda som kan uttala orden. Kände mig lite speciell, det är ju inte som att jag kan tyska eller något. Men jämfört med de här.. well, amerikanerna, så pratar jag norska, danska, finska, isländska, franska, spanska och tyska flytande. Det är ju ganska så hyfsat ändå.

Guuud vilken dag, helt slut. Nä. Har bara suttit och pysslat hela dagen. Pluggat lite (lite), rensat väskan, rensat skolmappen, och tvättat massa kläder. Rätt gött ändå. Darlenes pappa, Darlene och Kens son Michael och hans tjej Kate och deras hund Farley kom över på middag. Darlenes pappa sa så fort han såg mig, utan att veta vart jag är ifrån, "you must be nordic". Darlene sa då "how did you know that?!" och han sa "just look at her, she's so blonde! All those people from Finland, Sweden and Norway are superblonde". Om jag är blond, vad är då Axel (min kompis vithåriga lillebrolla) efter två veckor i Turkiet? Ja, vithårig kanske.. Captain Obvious i farten igen.
Nu är klockan alldeles för mycket, jag ska för tusan upp klockan fem imorgon bitti! Skolan börjar en timme tidigare än vanligt, halv åtta, eftersom att jag, smart som en myrslok, har joinat kören. GODNATT!

Jaja. Nu ska jag läsa Kalle Anka i alla fall. Imorgon ska jag inte göra något speciellt tror jag, bara göra lite plugg och tvätta massa kläder och rensa ur min väska, kan behövas. Hittade en påse med vindruvor, två en månaders-gamla clementiner plus massa mosade tuggummin där i. Och juste, har inte tagit ut den där mackan än.
Godnatt!

Nu ska jag i alla fall dra till svennebananernas hemland (Ikea) och sen till SilverCity för att gå på bio och se Megamind med Candace.

Guten Morgen meine kleine milcheauton! Wazzup? Jag vaknade för ett tag sen och har läst Kalle Anka sen dess. Ska åka ner till Robson idag med Sheila, Taylor och Peter. Ikväll blir det bio med Jenna, vi ska se Megamind.
Ses sen!

Såg precis en reklam för Nutella också. De framställer Nutella som världens nyttigaste pålägg med kalcium, äkta kakao och nötter. Yäää. "Start every day with Nutella, start every day with calcium. Fuel the day."
Har gjort absolut ingenting idag. Gick inte utanför dörren. Planen var från början att jag skulle åka skridskor med Sheila, Peter och Taylor. Men det vart inte av. Imorgon blir det i alla fall någon Lush-grej på morgonen med Sheila, Taylor och några fler antar jag, sen ska vi traska runt på Robson Street och sen på kvällen blir det kanske bio med Jenna.

Lisa och mr. Sabo. De två plus Jenny var Blue Man Group. Sjukt bra. Mr. Sabo sa ingenting på hela dagen, och behöll den minen hela dagen.

Mr. Watts (min dramalärare) som vampyrjägare som blivit biten av en vampyr. Han hade vampyrtänder och röda linser. När han höll lektionen så hörde ingen vad han sa, alla var fokuserade på hans ögon. Och att han hade lite problem att prata med tänderna.

Mr. Sabo tar zebran Taylors diadem, går in i ett klassrum där en lärare håller föredrag för en klass, och sätter diademet på en i klassen som låtsas som att han inte märkte det. Läraren ignorerar mr. Sabo.

Joinade kören idag i alla fall, längtar tills första practice som är på måndag! .......klockan halv åtta på morgonen. Varje måndag, onsdag, fredag och ibland torsdagar. Måste gå upp klockan fem på morgonen. (SHIT!) Är ju nästan så att det är onödigt att gå och lägga sig alls.
Nu håller jag i alla fall på att öva att stå på händer och dansen som vi gjorde idag och bakåtkullerbytt-liknande grejer som vi gjorde i dansen och piruetter (så lagom lätt med strumpbyxor på heltäckningsmatta) och sådant.

Jahapp. Nu har man massa juridikläxa att göra också. Är astaggad på att ha vocal tech-lektion nu. Just nu håller vi på att öva på tre sånger; en julsång som heter Green Sleeves, låten Believe från filmen The Polar Express, och en engelsk julsång som heter Gloucestershire Wassail. Hade som valfri låt (vi väljer en av de tre vi får av mrs. Sluyter, och en valfri, som vi uppträder inför klassen) tänkt att göra en Luciasång. Mina favoriter är Så mörk är natten och Staffan Stalledräng (ira), och eftersom att man inte kan göra Staffansången utan en kör bakom sig så blir det la Så mörk är natten.
Så mörk är natten i midvintertid
Men se, då nalkas Lucia
Hon kommer den goda med ljuset hit
Hon kommer med hälsning om julefrid
Hon kommer med ljus i sin krona
I mörka natten i midvintertid
Vi hälsa dig, väna Lucia
Välkommen, du goda, med ljuset hit
Välkommen med hälsning om julefrid
Välkommen med ljus i din krona
Så mörk är natten

Spelade upp min monolog på draman idag, det gick väl bra antar jag. Jag vet inte riktigt, jag är inte så uppmärksam på själva uppträdandet medan jag uppträder, det är som att jag drömmer så jag vet inte riktigt vad som händer och kan inte riktigt styra det heller. Men läraren spelade in det så jag ska få se mig själv imorgon. Sitter och lyssnar på min asgrymma pulsplaylist på Spotify och kollar på EMAs och önskar att det var Senior Sail ikväll också. Borde plugga men.. ja, ja, jag ska. Och nästa vecka är det Harry Potter som gäller!! Har väntat på den dagen sen den senaste filmen kom ut. Men samtidigt ska det bli så sorgligt, för efter del två är det liksom.. inget mer. Hejdå mina senaste tretton år liksom *vinkar*.
Ja juste, Senior Sail. Det är en dans som skolan har för alla grade eleven och twelves en gång om året. På en båt. Det är ungefär som balen i nian, utan mat. Jag åkte hem till min kompis Candace efter skolan där vi gjorde oss i ordning och sen körde hennes mamma oss till hamnen i downtown där båten väntade. Det var så himla roligt! Önskar att det kunde hända igen så mycket. Här är lite bilder från Senior Sail. Alla är snodda av Sheila.

Sooo, anyways....... Nu funkar datorn igen! Det är förvisso lite strul med internet, men det är så gott som att något aldrig hände! Den blev ju infekterad med inte ett, inte två, utan 32 virus. Så ja, den var ju rätt stekt kan man säga. Men då använde jag för en gångs skull min superhjärna och fixade problemet (egentligen är min morbror hjärnan bakom verket, men vi låtsas att det var jag för jag är mycket snyggare, så det ser bättre ut utåtifrån sett. Typ som den där kinesiska ungen som sjöng nationalsången i Peking under OS, men ungen var tydligen för ful för att visas, så hon sjöng bakom ridån medans en sötare unge mimade på scen. Då är alltså jag den söta ungen som inte kan sjunga, och min morbror den fula ungen som kan sjunga).
Ja.
Jag har ju tusen grejer att berätta som har hänt under tiden som min dator bedrog mig, men det kommer när bilderna till de sakerna kommer upp. Just nu håller jag på att försöka packa upp och få lite ordning här på rummet, och har ännu inte hittat min usbsladd. Börjar misstänka att hunden åt den.
Jaja. Nu måste jag fortsätta, måste hitta den där sladden innan min mobil lägger av också, så jag hinner spara alla 684 bilder som jag har tagit sedan datorn gick sönder. See ya'll!
A Christmas Carol
Var i Lougheed Mall idag och kopte lite grejer, som t.ex. en till A Christmas Carol-bok, hehehehe! Hade redan kopt den boken har, men det har ar liksom.. typ.. perfekt. Det ar liksom samma story, men inte samma bok. Liksom. Ar typ i extas over den.
