Iceland has a place in my heart. UNFORTUNATE!

haha people are really terrible at trying to be less than obvious. huhu


So people tend to associate me with cooking and baking, im not entirely certain why... but anyways, so When I am in Iceland my home is (I can live wherever my heart is, which at the moment is where my family is! but sylvía is a special case, she is like family for me, don't worry, we will one day get some sort of connection to make it official hahaha) Sylvía's house!

so a few days before I left Mr. H (a friends blog references all people with letters! I think that is so fun, so I will do something similar keke) said "make me some food! for the last time!" something along those lines, so I was like "ok, but not now, some time later, BUT YOU MAKE ME A CAKE!" and he was like "do you suffer from a death wish?" and I was like "always!"

so then Ms. S jumped in and was like "what kind of cakes do you like??" and I was like " I don't like cake" and she said "... What would you have at your funeral than?? or uhm.. your last meal.. or uhm.." Where I cut her off and said "I LOVE BLUBERRY MUFFINS! AND RICE CRISPY TREATS!!! AND WAFFLES!!!!" and then I pranced around dreaming of those things, because I LOVE them!!

Anyways a day later when i got home Miss. S was like "UH *Not very smooth* LETS GO DOWNSTAIRS!" so im like ok hahaha than Mr. H comes down some times later and they are both just chatting with me, its not unusual, I juct have ultra sensitive spidey senses, and Miss. S is really not very good at sneakery.

Anyways, the next day after institute we have WAFFLES!!! (they do it once a month in Iceland hehe) and im like " I want me some WAFFLES!!" but then people are like "*not very good at, but doing our best to distract* HEY LETS GO LISTEN TO MR. M PLAY GUITAR!" so I'm like "*roll eyes*OKAY!" cuz he is super at that, its great to listen to him play! but then i became tired of the children trying to stall me so I jumped out the window of the Ætfræði room keke but then i felt bad and jumped back in and they let me go to the waffles.

THEY HAD A SUPREEZ FOR ME!!!

they had made blueberry muffins, waffles, and choco/normal Rice Crispie treats! it was Great!! super super super! I was so pleased! they are the greatest! my favourites for sure (to an outsider being my favourite isnt very special or cool since i have lots and lots and lots of favourites, but to my favourites and people who know me, Its a Super Super Super!!! because I am awesome. huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuhuh)

and the next day I left.


I am conflicted! Iceland always makes me conflicted. I go there and hate life and be miserable but its so Beautiful, and smells nice, and the people are wonderful in their own ways!! Iceland could have me if it wanted me, but I don't think it does, i think it just enjoys my company, and that simply isn't good enough.

Icelanders want me to live in Iceland, but the only way I would do that is if I were to marry a fluent speaking Icelander (has to be fluent in english as well), I am not willing to live there with a husband who also speaks broken Icelandic.

If I were to live in Iceland, I would live in Hveragerði, its so quiet and the neighbourhood is fun, the Gudnassons live there! they are a lovely closetomyhouse sort of neighbours!

Anyways, then I flew away and I dont think I will ever go back again, Maybe on my global trip of dragging my husband around to all the places i've lived, but otherwise I'm not gonna be going back, if i do it'll be to live. So I am really contradicting myself all the time, but I think I am really good at that.

Well... I will leave it at that hahaha

cookery

So I have a friend who is good at blogs, looking and writing, and she follows certain blogs about things she likes, and that is something that never really appealed to me, because I think its a bit boring a lot of the time.

BUT I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND! she showed me this one blog, and I was like "ooooooo" but it wasnt really my sort of thing. BUT I love cooking! so I thought, I am sure there are people out there who are super good at the cooking thing, cooking, baking, kitchening, all that sort of stuff. So I have decided that I want to go and find blogs that are awesome about cooking! it will be awesome! and I will become a genius cook baker chef type! it will be great, I am excited.

So I found this cake, I really like the idea, but after seeing how it was done I felt a little vonsvikin hahaha because it wasnt as magical and awesome skill as I had first thought. hehe but one day I will try it, it'll be great! mmm i love not chocolate cakes! I prefer the denser kind, I don't like the light fluffy kinds of cakes, too non substantial for me. Anyways, toodles for noodles! be sure to share any awesome blogs about cooking that you know of! unless you want to keep them a secret. hehe

Love from Pennsylvania!

I am a crazy for the crazy

... So I am leaving Iceland in a week, and its like. YEA. all my stiff fit in my bag and it was a proper weight, but on Saturday we are having an activity called Pirates vs. Ninjas! and we are going to be playing a game called the cave game, sounds cool but i have never played it before. Anyways, so i needed some dark clothes that could be ruined, so I decided to go to Salvo's (salvation army) and grab a bag full of junk for wearing. there are two that are near by, and so we went to one, because they have awesomer stuff, but I had gone to another one the other day and they were having this deal where you can buy a bag of stuff for 2000 kr. So we wanted to check the cool one out to see if they had the same deal. To my delight, They had a TWO FOR ONE!!!! two bags of stuff for 2000 kr.! I was like WWAAA!!! but they didnt have as much awesome stuff as they did the last time i went there. but they still had some cool stuff. So I ended up getting one bag for me and one bag for another, we went halfsies! so i payed 1000 kr for a bag. I got four pairs of shoes, two dresses, and... uhm.... YEAH! oh, clothes for saturday. I am majorly chuffed about it though kekeke

but now I have to throw old stuff away. OK toodles for nau!

rain of spring

I shared this back in 2008, but it is so awesome I feel like sharing it again! In case you didnt know, I enjoy going to the past, and reading the things i wrote there. its so interesting to see how different i am, because I think I have changed very much, sometimes it makes me sad.

anyways, more about the image, I think it is just Great! happiness can be like a sunbeam, where the slightest thing can make it shadow. and adversity being like the rain of spring, life giving! helping to grow, its amazing. i like it a lot. forgive my incoherency, its late and i am tired hahaha

anywhos, I best be off to bed since i have to wake up and jog in a few hours. kakaka

flex and flexibility

Ok so let me show you something thats odd and hilarious.

years ago when maliana lived on the iceland, the YSA did this thing.



some years later the creator of that was the Young mens president, and so the youth did this other thing



apparently its something to do with Sense and Sensibility, but that is only Gossips I overheard.

But Ya, I like them, they are supa fun/ny kekekek and i especiallly like the musics. well, two songs i hadnt heard before. I like them!

Excercising!

http://exercise.about.com/cs/exbeginners/a/exbasics.htm

i found this and it was interesting! i like learning about exercising and being healthy

but there is a list found somewhere among the pages called "perceived exertion scale", let me show it to you!

• Level 1: I'm watching TV and eating bon bons
• Level 2: I'm comfortable and could maintain this pace all day long
• Level 3: I'm still comfortable, but am breathing a bit harder
• Level 4: I'm sweating a little, but feel good and can carry on a conversation effortlessly
• Level 5: I'm just above comfortable, am sweating more and can still talk easily
• Level 6: I can still talk, but am slightly breathless
• Level 7: I can still talk, but I don't really want to. I'm sweating like a pig
• Level 8: I can grunt in response to your questions and can only keep this pace for a short time period
• Level 9: I am probably going to die
• Level 10: I am dead

It makes me laugh a chucklots, I personally dont like going so far as number 10.

Adieu!

book of possibilities

there is a movie called last holiday, its pretty fun, for a once in a lifetime thing ahhaha I wouldnt choose to watch it again per se.

Anywhos! in that movie she has a book that she calls her book of possibilities, in it she puts all these possibilities that she wouldnt mind becoming realities. I really liked it. I want to do one! but I am a very strange person with all sorts of fears and what not. I have mentioned before that I do not like to make (at least known) plans, and so because of this thing of mine it is very hard for me to even think about making a book of possibilities. Plans are depressing.

BUT I AM A CHANGED PERSON!!! at least I am trying to change, I am trying to be less afraid of everything, and more not afraid. haha our lesson in relief society on sunday was on being a courageous. ... woman... I think.. thats what I heard anyways hahah

so anywhos, with my new courage, I am starting to see things differently, and do things differently. Unfortunately (but fortunately), I discovered that I am (was?) a very hopeless person, and so, Faithless! because the two go hand in hand, and if you dont have hope, its because you dont have faith! and the other way too.

So after I found out about my hopelessness I decided that That just isnt good enough, how can I ever find happiness if I have no hope for it? and no Faith that I can find it??? what a wild goose I was, but now I am working on that.

So back to the book of possibilities! I have decided that I am going to make one! (are you allowed to tear out pages and burn them?) but I can only start with silly insignificant things, and I will work my way up to not silly haha

anywhos My First thing ever in my book of possibilities will beee.... drumdrumdrumdrum


A CAPYBARA!

this is a lot easier than i thought it would be, so I think it will help me a lot in realising what I actually want in life

Good Day to you!


(here is a fun song I like)
