New year resolution 2

I have given myself a second challenge. Not sure how long I will master this one, but we will see. I am hoping around 150 days, but my aim is 365 days without shopping any new clothes or make up.

There are some exceptions here:

Things that will run out during the year:

• Mascara
• Facial cleanser
• Facial cream
• Shower gel
• Deodorant
• Shampoo & conditioner

How this will end I do not know but my aim is to have saved a minimum of €1200 by 31 december 2012. That is €100 a month!

So why am I doing this, except the obvious money saving thing?? Well I have seven closets with clothes, I have toiletries falling out of its containers and I forget what I have. I want to minimize my closet and make up bag. This feels like a good way to start.

I have informed my mom about this and her reaction was: "Well you can start with three months or something like that, isn't 12 months a little over the top?" Who knows. We will see what happens.

Jung Typology Test

Yesterday I took the Jung typology test and scored:

ESFJ- Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging

This tell me that I'm type Guardian-provider


Today I took it again and scored:

ESFP- Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving

This tell me that I'm type Artisan- Performer

Reading through them both I can see that I fit into both categories, but I do think I'm more or a provider than performer. Not sure that my friends agree or?

Day 19 - This I regret

There is one thing that I really regret and that is when I 2006 decided to go for the security accepting a job (with paid masters degree) and stay in Sweden instead of moving to Australia.

There were many reasons why I did the choice I did and I still think it was the right on (in some sense), but I'm still looning for Australia and now I really need to make sure I get there within the next couple of years (June 2012?).

Day -18 My favorite birthday

This is a hard one, which one to choose. NO not all my birthdays have been favorites. I
'll give you a glimpse of the ones I remember.

My birthday is in mid august when school usually start and since 10 years at school wasn't the happiest time of my life my birthdays were usually welcomed with mixed feelings during those years. Birthday = back to school.

Age 11 - Wake up get my usual treasure map and chase around the house for presents and in the lving room there is a brand new bike.

Age 12 - Instead of treasure map I got a basked of yarn that I had to roll up and in the end of each string there was a present. The house looked like some trapping decive.

Age 21 - A three day celebration with all my new friends in Australia.

Age 22 - Was sick, field trip. lost my voice. Had just gotten to know my dear dear friend I. She had decided to suprise me with THE BEST CAKE IN THE WORLD after my field trip. All was set except I was no where to be found (was found in bed with no voice and feeling like crap). But that cake oh my god, I think that is what settled our friends ship, the cake, the surprise and feeling loved when I was low (do I remember correctly that I went out that night with no voice?).

Age 25 - Turning 25 at the same day as the collegeball can it get better? Had loads to do at uni (as usual when you just wanna get pretty) and when I came back from class my dear friends had filled my room with balloons, Barricated my door with birthday banners and inside the mess I found a huge basket of presents from my fellow floor members. Had an awsome night, in a painful pair of shoes that resulting me getting kicked out of the casino several times (not sure why they let me in again and again and again).

Day 17 - My favorite memory

This is a hard one. I have so many memories (Yes I'm one of those persons that rarely forget).

It must be when I found out that I had been accepted to uni in Australia. I remember calling my friend she didn't really have time to talk, but was so excited for me that she totallty ignored that. I was just jumping around not nowing what to do. I me was moving to Australia for atleast 3 years to study Marine Biology.

The Marine Biology I never really finsihed (got a minor in it) but the first three years over there were the best of my life!

Day 16 - My first kiss

My first real kiss was the most unromantical you can ever imagine.

I wasn't inlove with the guy, I was desperate to get kissed and a drunken night on Teniriffe (one of my first real nights out) it happened.

I was sixteen feelling like the only girl in the world that had never been kissed (cliche yhea i know) and meet this 25 year old english man who was really fun and hot. So outside a nightclub (could have been a bar) we sat talking in the flower bed.

There I sat and remember he bends over and kiss me. I was a good kiss and let me tell you he did not put me of kissing (thank god my first kisser was a good one).

Day 07 - My bestfriend

Instead of having to decide who is my best friend. I will tell you about my friends....


There are the friends no matter how long it has been when we talk it feels like yesterday. And as my dear friend I put it "mi casa your casa". These are the friends where you feel at home in their home and are not afraid to tell them if you are hungry, need to borrow something etc. In my world these are your closest friends the ones that you can tell anything to.

Then there are the friends you have known for years but still don't feel at home with. It is not that perfect match but you have fun together and share a common interest.

Then you have the shallow friends where its ok to hang out when there is nothing else to do. Or even worse make plans and always cancell or never set a date..... These are not real friends, but they tend to pop up now and then.

What is intersting with friendship is that with some people ot takes a long time to get close but when you are there its a solid one. Then you have the friends where you get close like that and are inseperatable (yes this can occur at a grown up age to).

What I'm trying to say is that I don't have one best friend I have several. I have two party twins that I always miss ( I guess they would be classified as my best friends). Then I have other friends that I speak to at least once a week and also miss dearly when away.

Day 05- What is love?

Am I supposed to answer this?

I know this much about love:

I have never felt true love to another person.
I do know about love to parents, animals and friends. Isn't that the same type? In my world no, but for me to define love to another person.

For me that is when you can't focus when he is around, your world moves at a different speed, the air sparkles from tensions that is build up... Hang on that isn't love. Thats attraction. That I know exactly how it feels and what it is. Thats how my world feel all the time at the moment. All these hot men in this town is quickly driving me insane.

Back to Love what is love?
Its trust, giving your sinner self to someone else, feeling whole when together,,,,,

Oh... I don't know the only thing that I can focusing on at the moment is sexual attraction

Day 03 - My parents

My Parents I love them. They mean alot to me and anyone who has meet me also knows this. They have bin by my side what ever stupid decisions I make.

My dad is not happy about me deciding to go back to uni and has said so, but he still supports me in my decisions that I have done while here. That is how he is. He tells me what he thinks when his temperament flairs and that I just have to live with. Especially since my temperament is as bad as his is and he N E V E R listen. Ok you think thats the problem of all parents they never listen. But considering my complains over it to and that he proves over and over again by asking the same question over and over again (getting surprised over the answer).

My mom she is almost the complete opposite of dad and I guess that is one reason why they complement eachother so well ( I know what I wish I had gotten from each of them). She on the other hand support me to death and listen to everything that I say, sometime a little to well for my liking. She is like me will remeber something I said offhand a long time afterwards.
