It is done.

IT IS OFFICIAL!!! I HAVE A TICKET TO GERMANY!!! for the 25th of April. my flight is around 14:44. That's a Monday.

ITS BOUGHT! I can nearly not believe it.

as I was sky ping with Mamma and maliana and eyþór for ticket buying purposes, I nearly had a complete keel over.

So Maliana and Eyþór have Icelandic bank accounts, and Credit cards, and it is easy to transfer things. So They were buying my tickets for me. and they were on the websites, and we were all searching for tickets.

As I searched icelandexpress.com I looked at the prices. What i saw was 189.00

in my bank account (at the time) I had 205.000 isk. My eyes were seeing 189.000. I had a complete panic attack, thinking i would be stuck in Iceland and my calculations were HORRIBLY WRONG AND OFF¨¨!

I start to quickly alter my plans, leaving earlier, cutting side trips (to germanland, anywhere in the US), Everything I can! but that didn't seem to change ANYTHING!! HOW COULD I HAVE MADE SUCH A FATAL MISCALCULATION!!??!?

just as I was about to tell everyone everything is off and I was going to off myself in the ocean I notice that the money is in GBP.

My mini heart attack had left me disheveled and laughing like a maniac. I tell everyone of my hilariously silly mistake. and then my body goes into mini shock. I am shaking and panicky hahahahah

so that's my excitement for a lifetime. JOKES!! but yeah, im leaving Iceland.

I haven't told everyone. I've told the Branch President, my visiting teachers (crap, I should tell my home teachers...) and I think that's all...... so I've told Ólafur and Unnur. HAHAHA

Oh Iceland, How I Love thee!

But I think I will be telling people tomorrow¨! because, I posted that I hate packing! AS WELL AS flight planning! gos! I really do. anyways, I posted that and people were like (like minutes later!) Where are you going? are you going places? where are you going places? ( no joke, complete quoting. ok not really, but I'm pretty sure its accurate.)

I think there will be many weddings in Iceland this Year!! unless people are pansy pants. which they might very well be.

But yes. that's all about it from me. Markús is being blessed tomorrow¨! cute kid. and I was invited to the eating!! wahoo! I love food!! ahhahah but only in good company, which hopefully it will be :D

Love from Iceland!

How Do I Love Thee

blablabla the last blog entry was ten years long, sorry about that, i should blog better and not at the night time hahahah

BUT THIS ONES GREAT!!

i posted it on la facebook, but i want it here, so i can find it forever. Its a devotional at BYU february 15 2000, when i was like 10, holey canoli. anywho its called How Do I Love Thee by Jeffrey R Holland about how we should love. I like it very much, i want to love like that, the way the Saviour did, unconditionally, and so selflessly, not thinking about yourself at all, only wanting the best for the other

it even mentions my favourite play, OTHELLO!!!! and all the tragedy anywhos its here


toodles for noodles!

P.S. TWO SLEEPS TIL MALIANA AND ÆTOR GET HERE!!(one officially, according to time)

you make me censor myself!

hahaha

This is post number 124! the post that preceded was number 123! hahaha great number, now I need to post 1111 posts for a Real Exciting awesome number!!!




hahahah any whosals!

sooo, TODAY WAS THE DAY I TOLD THE WORK PEOPLE I AM LEAVING!!! the country, they were pleasant! they said oh, you wonderful daughter, going to take care of your mother! ahhaha jokes they were like "do you plan on coming back? no? didnt like it here?" hahahah people are so interesting ahhaha

so I told them may-june some time.. so thats when I leave this countries! oohhh its so boring here, thats my real problem, I cant function, its all a foreign language, Sure I can speak it, but I have to think in order to function in it. It makes my brain go "blerg blerg blerg" and I forget what language I am speaking, cuz I know some tongan and some korean so when I say some words too often I wonder "Am I calling that person a pig???" (poka, poki, puaka HAHAHA)

I think Iceland has been good for me, I left my comfort zone behind a while ago, I speak to strangers and what not, in Icelandic, so I'll have ten billion times more confidence doing it in English methinks.

I havent started reading that book yet, I SUCK! I havent even gone to get the book. I'm gonna have to cram it on a computer.. cookers.

Poor Icelandic, I slaughter it mercilessly, and the more I speak it the lazier I become in pronunciation and what not, I dont like it.

Another problem I have with being here (i think its caused by the language barrier) is I dont have any friends!! in aus I had heaps of friends, and if I was bored, I wouldnt be for long.... and I knew what could be done, and there were always people there to help me if I needed. I dont feel that at all here. Everyone is too busy to do anything, and I suck. HAHA

I realized that the other day, I can't function without family and friends.

The soundtrack of my mind the past few weeks has been

Dysentery Gary- Blink 182 (just the chorus part, where he says life just sucks, I hate you all, Wheres my dog, girls are such a drag, thats not the real order or way of it, but thats how I sing it in my head hahahah)

Losing Hope- Jack Johnson )the my chorus, depending on how im feeling hahaha)

You're Not Alone - Saosin

but these are sprinkled with random hymns hahah the hymns are my favourite!

soooo My plan for this year! this is an outline, I dont do more than outline, cuz that is wasteful methinks. huhuhu ...

Anywhos! my plan for the year. Fly to Canada, maybe visit europe on the way, maybe visit the United States on the way, and uh.. yeah. aww crap, I forgot all those things I was planning on doing. Well I was thinking of going to an immigration judge in the US, to ask for my greencard reinstatment, and then if that doesnt work, to just work a little in Canada and then go to Aus or NZ to do some studying. and uh.. yeah, uhm.. I guess the whole eternal spouse looking thing.. i need to get some priorities hahahaha

im planning on getting my licence while in Iceland, and maybe going to a dentist, and also getting new glasses. im getting blinder ahaha

im trying to cut down on my unhealthy, so for lunch today i made mesalf a cheese sammich, with a couple oranges, I left out the slice of marmor kaka in the middle of the cheese cake. ég var dugletg!! hahaha

I want to be more healthy, so, you know, I wont die and be ill. hahaha and can dance a move and do whatever I want! keke like the Word of Wisdom verses tell us hehehe

Favourite song from the shinee, with english subtitles for all you non koreans!!

another great video!

I hate guys... No, I hate Everyone. HAHA

blegh. I was planning on doing a blog at least once a month this year. I missed January. Crapperjacks!

I'm becoming tired of Iceland. I think its because I am so self centred, and Iceland is too small to have such self centerd people as myself. I'm not sure I can handle much more.. I'm going to be leaving some time soonish? I think I've seen what I've come to see. done what ive come to done.

HAHA

but I hate it so much now, so I feel like leaving is escaping, so I am trying to get over hating it here. hmmmmmm

I feel like its too cliquey here, everyone has their friends, and they randomly walk off alone and talk and giggle and have their inside jokes. I cant stand That! I dont care not knowing, but to be so rude to other people. I really hate it. it happens too often, I HATE IT. its so rude. if they are family I dont mind, thats ok, Family is Family, No one understands what the heck we on about, but when they are NOT family, and are just rude idiot faces that like to make inside jokes

so... I... am maybe jealous? I .. am not a good judge of myself and being jealous, and stuff, so that might be it.. But I dunno, they are so cliquey here. I just hope I never do that.

so heres a great song I like.

DEDICATED TO ELDER TOUTAI, ON HIS BIRTHDAY! Twenty Years old little Brother! I made everyone have some rice crispy cake that had the letters HP ET! hahahah happy birthday Elder Toutai! hahahahahha mmm mmm It was good. I hate everyone. HAHAH jokes.. but really.

c : a piece used to cover or fill in a space between two parts of a structure

Wahoo... Its winter time, ferrymen and whine!

blegh. This is My first Christmas alone, or sans fjölskyldu, and so I dont want any company. I'm dramatic and emo, but I don't care, I like doing things my way! but they dont often go my way hahahaha

So. Life is interesting. I like not working, but having a Job hahahah

So I've been wondering about me, and what im doing/going to be doing, and why the heck im in Iceland..

hahahahah

Okay. So While I've been here I've been imagining a future in Iceland, and what it would be like to get married and have children and to live here for life. I was able to imagine such things.

I don't think Iceland is my life. I think I am here for the beginning of something Marvelous that is to come to pass, but I won't be here for the fruition, just the budding huhuhu so I have to do my best and a good job! I cannot be the weak link!

but then these musings bring to mind the questions of when will i be leaving? and where will i go? to me anyways. Before today I was always thinking "should I stay or should I go?!" but then today i thoughted, "i will be going".

that made everything finale, and so i stopped thinking "WHATS GOING ON???" like a whiny kid and started thinking "okay, now I must get my affairs in order, that i may be ready to go when I need to" and it all of the sudden became okay to leave, i am no longer afraid of what will happen when i go.

Now to discover when and where

I wish I could Love You

TODAY! was beyond amazingly wonderful.

Tomorrow is Iceland Conference, and so the Mission President, President Andersen, is Here! he is such an amazing man. So this morning there was a leadership meeting, for all to attend! (well.. the leaders, their councilors and the missionaries... nearly alll hahahahha) ++


this story is gonna take a while let me just warn you before hand huhuhu.



So today has been in the planning for some time now, because this is a busy two weeks for Iceland, missionaries coming and going and returning and homing. So today there was a Leadership meeting planned, and a couple hours after it there was a baptism planned. Since all of the leaders were going to be at the chapel from early to later we decided to have a pot luck! And so...

Last night I stayed up till 3 or 4 in the morning making something, I made home made reeses cups! (thats how I remembered daniels name when he was serving, cuz it looked like Reeses hahahaha Reeves, see. this is how a child hard of learning thinks.... sometimes....)

And so, because of my awesome endeavours! I slept till 8, so I only had 10 minutes to get ready and be out the door to catch the bus. those ten minutes ran away from me, but I was nearly ready. We (Sylvia and I) were about to despair when I said "LETS TAKE THE BIKES!!" so we continue getting ready and run out the door, jump on the bikes! and then hjóla hjóla hjóla!!!! we get past the first light with ease. We then get to the second light, BUT ITS RED!!!! so im about to stop but sylvia says "we can go! the turning light is green, but there are no cars!"

so I BRUMBRUM Áfram! and as i ride out in front of a car at a red light something gets caught and the bike falters and all the sudden I am on the ground with a bike on me. in the middle of the road. My first thoughts are "Oh, I better tell sylvia I fell over" because she was riding away and I didnt want to get run over. So I call "Sylvia, ég datt!" and she doesnt hear, so I shout a little "SYLVIA! ÉG DATT!" ahhahah my memory doesnt say I yelled that much, just a little, like at malianas wedding, But then she stops, turns to look and then drops her bike and comes running to help me. Before she gets there I get up and try to walk the bike off the road, but the chain isnt working. I am about to throw the bike and run so we can catch the bus, but sylvia says "the chain came off!" and then goes ^µ

and it was fixed!!! so i was like "WOW YOU ARE AMOSOME!" and we hop back on the bikes and start riding again. I cross the road and ride away to the bus stop. I arrive at the bus stop trying to check (unsuccessfully) if sylvia is behind me. when I lock the bike up I see the bus so i am like AHHHH! and then I see sylvia arriving so i am like AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! because I didnt realise she got a little behind. She locks the bike up and runs across the road (behind the bus! thats how close we shaved it!) and since I was taking a little too much extra time she was able to catch the bus


HAHAHAH that was only the begining of our Day!!

Twas a lovely day indeed.

Anywho, so awesome. missionaries going home, so i have been a little glum/rimeniscent all day, they are super! and i am going to miss them all so terribly much. okay not really, but thats what i thought at the time.


BUT! then I realised the reason I was sad was because I wanted to control everything, and them leaving and living lives is not me controling anythign ahhaha Im not controlling anyhting now, but ... I am possesive? and so it was hard for me to let the missionaries go.. This is creepy sounding. Anyways, when I realised it was selfishness that made me sad, I restructured my thoughts and realised it is Amazing that they came to Iceland in the first place! and a complete honour and blessing to have been able to know them. And now, after all their hard work and service, they are able to go home. So wonderful!


I Love them dearly, Missionaries are my favourite People!


Oh, and a side note, the action packed story in the begining all happened in a stockings a skirt and my favourite high heels. Awesome.

My first rational controlled thought was "MY SHOES!!!!!" because i landed funny and have been limping all day, but more so when I am not in heels. Interesting. hohoho Merry Christmas! and the northern lights were out as I was walkimping home, and then I rode a bicycle again home because my feet were dead after being in heels from 8:15-21:55

Nice!

Leis and Falls!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH this song, made me laugh. unfortunately (I think its very fortunate though) I dont suffer from OCCL hahahahaha

onto different better things HAHA

So At the end of the month, there will be three missionaries and a couple going home. I am going to Miss them Very Much! They are all so Great, but the couple is greaterest huhuhu. Missionaries here are so Diligent! whenever we are catching the same bus some time from the church they will chat at the bus stop but as soon as they are on the bus they are talking to other people, So Awesome! Anyways, I dont think the Icelanders show enough love for their missionaries (hehehe) So I want to make Candy Leis for them!!! with only Icelandic Candy! so yeasterday I bought a WHOLE LOT OF ICELANDIC candy, and since its christams time, they sell small ones of somne big ones! haha so anyways, I am asking how long these leis should be? im thinking of making a lei for every year! so two a pop, so thats like ten leis, interesting business! and then in one of the cubbies, I'm going to put a letter/note of appreciation! from me and maybe others. I like it! I hope they like it too... :´(

But the Koyles' wont answer me when I ask what is their favourite ICelandic Candy is!!! okay, they actually told me that hers is licrouice and his is Chocolate hahaha


oooooo there is a Crazy fin in Iceland! her name is Maria, and she is a member, she rambled intot church one day and WHAM! we were friends hahaha

but last night we went to watch a movie at the chapel, the movie was Rated R, but I only just found that out, because it said 12 on the box HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH



That is the Trailer. The movie is kind of gruesome, in the sense that people Die, and their Deaths are shown. There is no Swearing, there is one other scene. But on the box it said 12, but as we watched it I was like, WOAH! thats a big time blood movie! it seemed a bit independant, But I love the colours! and the cinemtography! and the story it all tells! but yeah I only just found out by watching the trailer that it is rated R hehe so none of yous can watch it, OH WHALE, but the odd thing is, Icelanders rate byt gore and violence, but this was ONLY gore and violence! so it must not have been and Icelandic cover hahahah


Okay! I am off to get ready for the Missionary family activity! it'll be so great! dont forget to tell me about the... LEis! and any other ideas you may have!

Love to the You guys!
