Erika's World

Hi guys! How are you? I am good. Tomorrow I actually have things on my schedule. I mean actual things. Not something like "Oh, I should really clean my room. I'll do that tomorrow." No, an actual meeting. How about that for a change. Ha ha. You know what. I have been thinking about my British accent thing. I mean I have found myself copying the melody in the way British people speak. I mean I am trying to. It feels easier that way. I guess it's a good start. You have to start somewhere and any in is a good way in when you're trying to learn something new. But some words, some words tough sound nothing like British english. Some phrases I feel are easier to say with a British accent. I just have to keep practicing. Everyday. Which I am. (And now Sherlock  has taken over my life, but that's not what we're talking about here.) I could really use the help of a dialect coach. I could really use the help of a dialect coach with my American accent as well. Does...

You know that saying "My room is either the gates of hell or the temperature of antarctica, well step into my room and welcome to antarctica. Seriously this is not normal. I mean, they can't be serious. No, I mean. I don't know what I mean but any way, I just, it's fucking cold that's my point. Like, I am wearing three pairs of socks and my toes are still ice cubes. I am wearing sweatpants, still cold. The ventilation don't close all the way either. OMG. If I get sick and die because of this someone is getting sue. Hmm, that might be hard because I would be dead then so I guess I just come back and haunt someone. But I promise you that if this was America someone would be getting served. So fucking cold. I just want to crawl up underneath my covers and just lay there but blogging is more fun and it keeps my mind distracted from the fact that my toes are ice cubes right now. Never happy. Well, IDK but there is like never the perfect temperature. Your either to...

Seriously though I could go to school in Cali next semester (spring 2014 that will say) just so that I could go to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday. I mean, just because of that one reason. It's not that I am loosing something from being in California for four months! I am gaining alot. Like an education! But it's also like what I talked about yesterday, you know, all that about if I really want to to go to school. 'Cause otherwise it's just a waste of money. I need to be really sure that that is what I want to do, you know. Hahaha. It will never be a waste of experience or anything like that. Actually it is not a waste of money too. 'Cause I feel like I am paying for so much more than an education, you know. Since I am not from America I am paying for more than an education. You know right. It is the experience of being there. I don't know what to say other than that. Have you guys watched my vlog from yesterday? In case you haven't watched it watch it here...

I just feel weird. Like, I want to run into a brick wall or something. That's how I feel often. I mean it's not going to solve anything. It's just for that one moment when I hot the wall everything is going to okay. I will feel at peace. Then the millisecond after, everything will be the same again. IDK. Basically life I guess. I am just bored. Mostly I am bored with just living here. Here, meaning Stockholm and Sweden. I don't know but I have seen it all and done it all. Even if I had more money, or a job it would still just be the same place. But I am not sure if I want to go back to America and go to school. I mean yes I'd like that. I think that education is very important and I encourage all of my friends to get a degree, I am just not sure that it's for me. You know what I mean? Last year when I went off to college in Santa Barbara I was excited because I have always wanted to go to school in the US but I also was like "What the fuck have I just don...

Do you know what today is? Exactly one year ago to the date I set off on a four month (and four days) long journey which involved college in the US. One year! Fuck! I mean it has been on year! One year ago (um, this post might be dated August 10th 2013, so just to clarify I moved to California August 9th 2012 - it probably will be dated the 10th since I usually blog around midnight) I moved to freaking California in the freaking United States of America! I mean it's so hard to imagine it even though it has happened! I mean I lived a life long dream of mine. There is no better feeling the living your dreams! Even though I had some rough times (and believe me I had) I am so thankful for the opportunity because otherwise I would just be sitting here and thinking "Why?", "What if?" etc. You know? I am so thankful for everything. I have so many other dreams that I want to achieve! I just have to be more driven. I know, or I mean what's stopping me from my other...

Today has been a fun day at work. An okay day, more okay than usual. LOL. Nah but it was okay. While I had a break I went outside to charge my phone because you can't bring your phone inside. Anyway, I went outside to charge my phone. While I was bringing the charger out of my bag a security guy started walking up to me (I thought that he was going to tell me that I couldn't charge my phone there). He was so sweet and told me that I could charge my phone inside so that I didn't have stand out there alone. This other security guy said that i couldn't bring my phone inside but the the first security guy said it was okay since I need to charge my phone. Oh, how sweet. LOL, the second security guy came up to me a little bit later to make sure that I wasn't going to keep my phone with my once I finished charging it. He noticed my 1D and JB necklace and said that I was wearing something very wrong around my neck. I was like "Oh, you mean Directioner. And the JB stand...

Seriously I am just so done with some bullshit going on. Just done with it. It's been going on for too long and I don't feel like being the nice girl anymore. Pretend that it's all okay. R.I.P. is what I say. Bye, bye and you're out of my life. Sad, yeah maybe but you should have thought about it before you started acting like such an asshole. I am just done. I have no feelings towards it, just simply done. Seriously next week I am working a lot! Six days out of seven. Okay it's not, six full days. Okay maybe five of them are. Hopefully they'll need me every single day 'cause then I'll be coming home late ate night. It's fun, in a way. Having a job means that I am preoccupied, 'cause when I am not working or not in school I am so bored. Yeah, yeah I am bored in school but at least I'll have something to do. Sometimes I feel like I want to color my hair. I have only done it once and it was pretty close to my natural hair color so I don...

Hi guys. Oh my god it's really late. Hahaha not that late but it's after 11 pm. Yeah but it's Friday and that means that it's WEEKEND! Tonight I had dinner with Annika and Kaj since my mom away for a few days. It was really nice. Annika had cooked salmon with some baked root crops. Yum! Especially that salmon part. I was like yes fish! My mom and I don't eat fish that often. Hmm, don't know why. I'll have to bug her the next time that we go grocery shopping. I kind of control that list and mom just pays for it. No, it's not that I write down just anything. It's that maybe I have more a sense of what we have. I don't know, I kind of was like that before I went to the US. Hmmm. Now, I have just trying to give up on being a control freak. It's to much work and exhausting. I try to have a more "whatever" type of attitude. Oh mi gosh! I watched the Up All Night: The Live Tour  blu-ray that I got at the 1D World Stockholm store. I was...

Hi people! I just watched the trailer for Iron Man 3 ! OMG I am super stoked! April 24th! Yeah. It is one of the nights that Bieber is playing in Stockholm. So maybe I can go to the premiere and stalk him afterwards. LOL. No, I really want to see that movie. I love the Iron Man movie franchise. I have the first two on DVD. I have seen The Avengers , Thor , Captain America  and  The Incredible Hulk . I love them! I just thought of an other thing that I want for my birthday, Maroon 5's album Overexposed . That and Ellen tickets. If I would get Ellen tickets I would freak but I love all the way over in Scandinavia and not in Cali anymore so the getting there part is a little more complicated. Maybe Ellen or someone working for Ellen is reading, wink wink. LOL. That would truly be amazing! I was so annoyed earlier because I decided to take the metro and the commuter train instead of the bus and the commuter train. It's faster if I take the metro. Anyway, I did that so I wou...

OMG I am pale! That's a bit funny but sadly it's true. Sadly yes. I mean I haven't become "white". No, I mean I don't have my California tan anymore. Sadly. I am not the pale Scandinavian that I was born as. Hmmm. Ha, the funny thing is that when I first came to Cali I didn't like that I got so tan at first 'cause I wasn't used to it. I thought that I looked dirty. Hahaha, now that's actually funny. Now, I am pale but it is nothing wrong with that. I mean pale people are people to. We are also humans so (please) don't discriminate us because we don't have a golden glow tan. We are people just like you. LOL. That was a joke, you got that right. Pale people have humor too (also a joke). California tan Scandinavian pale You know what a dream concert would be? I mean yeah I love Miley Cyrus so yeah I  definitely want to see Miley in concert (and One Direction) but that's not who I am thinking about. The All American Re...

Okay! I am not gonna lie, I looked up green card. I googled it just to see what it really is and what the difference it is to actually have one instead of a visa. I am domed, as of right now. I have nothing for me that will get me a green card. I am not saying that I want one. I am just saying. I know all about the student visa that I had so I just want learn more. It's a part of the common knowledge. I like learning, to a certain point and if I get to decide what I think is just rubbish and what is actually useful. Gosh! I am just saying that America has to be one of the hardest countries to get into unless you're a citizens. Yeah. No, it is not that it is hard it is just that it is complicated. Look what my mom got me today! These cute wonderful cupcake cases. Ever since I bought the cupcake stand my mom have said that I need some cute cases for the stand. So she came home with these today. Yeah! Super cute, right! Do you have any tips for cupcakes that I can make? Pos...

Yolops! LOL. I just finished watching an episode of Hart of Dixie . The second episode and please don't tell me what happens after the second episode because I haven't seen more than that. I know, I know that the show premiered like a year ago or so here in America but it premiered about three weeks or so in Sweden. I don't like to watch TV-shows on my computer. I prefer being crawled up in the couch watching TV. Bu yeah, yeah. That's why I haven't seen further than the second episode, I just thought that some channel in Sweden (Kanal5, TV4 or TV11) would have aired it earlier then about three weeks ago. No,  they did not. Now it airs on Kanal5 on Tuesdays at 8 PM (I think), if you're Swedish and didn't know that. I have also painted my nails with a glow in the dark nail polish that I bought at FOREVER21 last weekend. It doesn't really "glow" in the dark, I don't know maybe I haven't put on enough nail polish. Hmm, I mean I can ...

Oh em gee! can you guys believe it, in less than a week I'll be in the United States of America. the land of the free. Hahaha, okay I barely not as excited as I sound. I am not sitting here on the couch watching Solsidan  and laughing from excitement. If I'm laughing it's because the show is so damn darn funny. Solsidan , I recommend it. Gosh, the packing is, yeah, going the way it is. I have started over a few times. Hmm, you will see more of it in my new web series. So far I have just shoot scenes of me packing. Okay, so I haven't edited anything so the web series idea is still just in my head but yeah. I am going to try to take a lot of pictures during the trip from start to finish. All the way from Stockholm to California. your writer, Erika

Yo, yo, yo! What's up dogs? Hahahaha. Gosh, I am watching this TV show about some British families. Unusual families. The show is called Big Families , and that's exactly what the show is about - families with lots and lots and lots of children. Gosh, there is one mom - who's a single mom, keep that in mind - with 14 children! 14, oh em gee, can you believe that!? She's raising 14 children all by herself! Well, not exactly by herself because on of her daughters takes lots of care of one of her younger sisters. She gives her a bath every night, puts her to bed and so on. The girl said the when she puts her little sister to bed the little sister gives her kisses and tells her that she loves her over and over. So the older sister kind of sees as her on child. Oh my god, that is the saddest thing ever! Close to it anyway. It should have to be like that! Just want to cry for the little girl. No, no, no! I get that you sometime have to help taking siblings, but not every nigh...

I rented a movie today. Captain American: The First Avenger . Have you seen it? I hade no intention of seeing it when it came out but now that The Avengers is premiereing soon and Chris Evans is in that movie I want to see it. I mean so that I have the whole story. You know what I mean. What are you doing tonight? your writer, Erika

Look at the card I made for my friend Madde last night. Isn't it pretty! I like and I'll hope she will. It's kind of girly and it gives you a happy feeling, summer that's what I think of when I see it. Today it's friday. If it were a school week I would be happy, but now I am not because I have to go back to school on monday. But it's only seven weeks today until christmas break or winter break or whatever you guys in the english speaking world call it, but you know what I mean. The only good thing about today is that it's Aliens In America and Idol tonight. That's the only positive thing about tonight. Thank god for that! Right now I am listening to some songs by Vanessa Hudgens and right now it's Let's Dance. You should listen to it, it's a great song! your writer, Erika.

OMG, Miley's cd Breakout is awesome! I love it! My favorite songs are Wake Up America and Goodbye. They're amazing. Watch the video Miley and Mandy did for Wake Up America. It's really good. your writer, Erika.

I read a comment on the post JB in concert today. The girl who wrote it said that she was there and said that she was from Norway. Then I started remember that I actually met two girls and their mom from Norway outside in the line (not at the cd signing but outside the place they had the concert). Amazing memories. I want to met them again! I can't wait for sunday. Zac and Vanessa! Yeah! What a year! This is probably the best year of my life. I never thought this would happen but wow. I am amazed! Soon it's Aliens in America and I hope there's a good movie on tonight. I am gonna tune in on Disney Channel now and see if there a good movie on. your writer, Erika.
