As if there weren't enought blogs about the election...

There has been a lot of Obama-talk the last week, obviously, and in Norway we've been discussing the fact that it's history and how far America has come now etc.
But what annoys me, is that they keep comparing USA with Norway, saying that an event like this could never happen here. I don't think that's fair at all!
USA has had people immigrating for about 250 years(even longer if you count with the slavery), while in Norway, they only started coming here about thirty years ago, and so the immigrants in USA are far more intergrated in their culture than what the immigrants in Norway are. How can you expect someone who can hardly speak norwegian to be elected as prime minister? I think we'll have to wait at least another twenty years for that.
Ok, I'm being a bit generalizing, 'cause we already have immigrants with profiled positions in Norwegian politics, but my point is that little Norway, who until not too long ago was concidered quite a primitive country by other parts of the world(and definitely by Monty Python), shouldn't be compared to bigger, older and far more experienced America.
Although I think there are some things USA could learn from us;D

Ok, my original plan for this post was to complain about the Norwegian autumn, but since I decided not to be negative anymore, I'll have to do it with a twist.

It goes like this:
I simply LOVE Norway in the autumn! The grey dark sky covering the city, is firmly colouring our trees and houses and clothes in this wonderfully depressing shade.
Everywhere the leaves are moulding together with dog shit, cigarette butts and dead birds, covering the pavements and making an exciting obstacle trail to entertain me on my way to school!
Also, it's so uplifting when I remind myself that it's going to get even darker and colder!
I'm not looking forward to my London trip at all! When I go to London it will be springtime, and warmer and obviously I don't care much for sun and bird's singing.

Aw-well... I'll have to focus on the English presentation going on in front of me.... it's about the American warzzz..zzz...zzz...


No, I want to play SuperMario:D

Life's a piece of Shit...

I find myself being really Norwegian these days and constantly complaining about things!
Whether it's my lack of sleep and the early mornings, or that one of my parents is acting like a complete idiot. There are a lot of things about both Norway and my parents that could've been better, but it's not killing me is it?

I've just read this book about a girl who's been sexually abused by her father and other members of her family plus some of his friends her whole life. The book made quite an impact on me, and it made me think how great my life really is.
At least my future relationships won't be messed up because I don't know how to behave with men without beeing sexual.
I know I'm not the first one with these thoughts, but I'm just in the middle of realising what a hypocrite I'm becoming, along with a great deal of the Norwegian society.
And this isn't only the upper-class, posh rich-bitches who don't give a shit about stuff like the enviroment or the less fortunate.
The same thing goes for the radical kids who call themselves communists, and feminists and stuff like that, and who do things like pour pig blood all over another party's headquarters just 'cause they thinks they're too americanized.
Give me a break! Norway is both the richest and the best country to live in in the whole world, and these kids just don't know how bloody lucky they are to have been born with such privileges!
We can do almost whatever we want with our lives, and still have a safe ground and a chance to earn some money.
If only these people would stop complaining about everything, just to have something to camplain about.
Just so they could say: "Yeah, I had a hard time growing up... I went to a lot of demonstrations, and I was real rebellious...yeah"
Why don't we all wake the fuck up and see what it is we have the ability to do here!
Why don't we try and work on problems that don't necessarily affect ourselves, but that we still can do something about?

Just needed to get it out:p It's been a looong day... But at least I'm not complaining:D

From Oslo City to Karl Johan

So instead of getting the tube out to the woods outside Oslo, to take some lovely pictures, I ended up meeting Maddie and Fay and later on Klara just so we could spend an hour and a half at Oslo Shitty(City).
I brought my dad's camera anyway and we ended up taking over a hundred pictures all the way from Oslo City to Karl Johan:D
I'm sorry if they come in a weird order, and fill the whole page, but I can't be bothered to fix it. I've been at it all morning:p
