Party Trick

Hello my little readers! How are you this Easter? I am good anyway. I am watching this movie on TV. The story take place in som southern state and idk but there accounts has me think that I need to start practicing accents again. I used to practice my British accent for one hour every day. Now I think that it is okay. I mean in my ears it sounds British but I also think that my normal English speaking voice sounds American and Americans don't seems to thinks so. None Americans do. Okay, it was a while since I asked anyone or anyone commented on that but still. I mean if I really want to be an actress someday it would be nice to know some accents. It's a good talent to have. Also if the acting thing would never work out or I would choose to do/ end up doing something else it would be a nice party trick. Maybe I should practice my swedish english accent. I want to be able to do that, sound like a real swede when I speak english. your writer, Erika

Always Learning

Hola mi amigos! That's kind of all the Spanish that I know. Hmmm, maybe I should reintroduce myself to the language. Oh, I'd also like to learn French. Aw, I should have had taken French instead of Spanish. Well, well. (Remember that time I tried to learn French? If you do then you have been here a long time.) Talking about languages. My british accent is progressing. LOL. I mean it sucks. I mean it is that good (I really need to chose better words describing myself and stop trash talking myself, it's a bad habit). I have found little tricks that makes it easier to speak in a British accent. Plus I can now say a second sentence with a British accent. When's your due date? LOL. But I do a with the word "due". But I am only learning and to master the accent will take time. It's not something that you learn in like a week. I mean I lived in California for four months and I still really can't speak in an American accent. Well, my "regular" acce...

The British

Hi guys! Waddup lads and lasses? LOL, trying out my new British accent in writing (huh?!). Hahaha. Nah, but I am FOR REAL this time going to try and learn a British accent. I tried a little bit earlier and, woah that stuff is hard. Like really hard. Like I feel like I have to change the way I am thinking when I speak english. I don't want to "exchange" the accent that I do have (which is kind of more American I guess) for a British accent. I just want to learn how to speak in a British accent. I want to do it justice too. I probably should work on my so called "American" accent as well. British, first and then the American accent. I mean that seems more logical since I master (oh yeah right) the American accent better than the British accent. If you have any tips for me, please do share! I need all of the help that I can get. (OMG! I am so going to watch the One Direction films, and just learn all my British - with a slight Irish tone to it - from the five boys)...

Excited

OMG! Hi. I am just for freaking excited for this summer. I know that it is going to be just as awesome as last summer, or maybe even more awesome that last year! I have so many excited thing planned. OMG! Tell you more about all of this tomorrow. Hihihi. It just like everything I love. Hihihi. I am so excited. But one thing, can TV4 please release the artists for this summers' Sommarkrysset . Tonight I went to an early screening of this untitled Swedish movie. It will premiere this fall. It was really good considering it was Swedish. I mean no offense to Swedish movie makers, actors and all of you. All very talented but Swedish movies a often different than Hollywood films. But I really enjoyed this movie. It had that America romcom feeling to it. When it premiere's I will recommend it to you. your writer, Erika

I Am Trying

Today I have been to school and then I came home got bored and started studying my monologue for this weekend. It's going well. I just realized that it's Wednesday and that I don't have many days left to practice. I mean I have it memorized I just have to practice my acting, practice how to act the monologue or however you say it. English is not my first language. LOL. But it's funny though how the people in SWD say that I speak perfect english, like with an America accent but when I lived in America people constantly asked me "Is that an accent I hear?". But that was then, so it can be that I have learn from living there. I that I picked it up from living there. Like I didn't then but I do now, do get what I am trying to say 'cause I am like the worst at explaining things. EVER. I want to learn how to do a british accent. Maybe, I should move there? But what if my "american accent" disappears. I mean instead of having an "american acc...

Chasing The Sun

Work, work, work. Hahaha. I have a casting tomorrow and the one on Saturday. I have never been to these places before so I pray that I will find them. LOL. I have looked them up on a map so I kind of know where they are. I am praying for that I won't get lost. LOL. Since I have castings this weekend I am glad that I have already done the reading for Monday. I am always a chapter ahead with reading. It's just so that I won't have to do any homework at home. Okay (a little confusing there), I read on my way to school and during my lunch hour. That way I don't have to do any reading when I come home. I hope that the weather will be better this weekend when I'll be running around the city. I feel bad for Nathan Sykes. It's his 20th birthday today and he has to undergo surgery. I hope he has a good birthday anyway and that the surgery goes well. I mean if his voice gets damaged because of this The Wanted are kind of screwed. Damn, because Nath has an amazing voice!...

Hard Work

OMG! I could go to school in California just so that I could live there. True story. School there I can take. Hopefully the school's in LA aren't as stuff as SBCC. Hopefully. Hahaha. I was watching Pregnant In Heels earlier on SVT Play. It just reminded me how beautiful California is. Hahaha. it is though. It really is. If I was in the US right now I wouldn't be able to do the fashion show next weekend. I wouldn't even be able to do something like that in the US since I am not a citizen (hmmm, maybe there is an American hunk out there - just saying, you know where I am getting at). Maybe if I work really hard I'll be able to buy that nice house in Malibu. Hahaha. That'd be the dream. Today when I came to school I saw a sign for Filip and Fredrik's new show Nugammalt . What kind of crazy thing are those two cooking up now? Hmmm. Right now they have some weird talk show where and two or three guest sits in an elevator (fake elevator) for the whole hour just ...

Black Friday

Image
Hi guys. What up? Haha, yeah I said I was going to blog about Black Friday and yeah so I will. Haha, Mohahaha. I bought a few things. I don't know if I really made any huge deals. Okay, yeah I would call the deal that I made on the coat that I bought at Macy's. It was $89.50 and I paid $34.50. I have looked at it before so I thought why not get it. Of course I went to Victoria's Secret! Duh! I wouldn't really say that I made a huge sale. I mean I got two bras and one of them was 50% off and that I got matching underwear (which were not on sale). Hmm, with my purchase I got a secret rewards card and a tote bag. Inside the bag there was a perfume sample, a lipgloss, a body spray and a body lotion. Yeah! So even tough I spent a lot of money I got free stuff and, I mean, who says no to free stuff? Not me anyway. From American Eagle I got a top and belt. I got a sweater from FORVEVER21 that I have looked at before. Carolyn from my Intermediate Acting h...

Surprise, Surprise

Image
Urrgh! I am so annoyed! Why? I'll tell you why, that damn post office! That damn, American Post Office! What's wrong with that damn American Post Office? I'll tell you what's wrong with that damn American Post Office. They close at 2 pm on Saturdays so I didn't have time to mail my package. Fuck them all! LOL. Nah, I am just a little annoyed but what can you do? I just have to go back there on Tuesday and mail the package then. Well, well, I was going to ship a package to my mom. She asked me to buy her a few things and then she wanted me to ship it to her. Plus I bought her some surprise things. Talking about surprise things I bought Martina something today. Most people, well a few people, are getting things from. Things like Hey-I've-Been-In-The-USA stuff. Hahaha, LOL "stuff" makes it seem less exciting. People don't worry your "stuff" is very cool (and that just makes it seem very naughty, :p). I am getting Annika something from ...

Sur La Table

Hi guys! Europeans, wazzup! We are on hour closer since USA is a little behind the flow since they don't turn back the clock until next Sunday. Retarded! Just when I had figured out this whole time difference between Sweden and California, they go and be a bunch retards. Yeah, yeah it's just one week hopefully I can live with that. Hopefully. Duh, I am not going to die, but you get my point - right? Anyways, I had lunch at Silvergreens today. The one on Chapala and not the one in Isla Vista (IV, whatever you like to call it). I am not gonna go all the way to Isla Vista to go the Silvergreens when there is one on Chapala. I was going to order something with pasta but when I came there saw that they had burgers so a burger I ordered. A veggie burger with sundered tomatoes and avocado. Yum. While I was sitting there enjoying my burger (I was sitting outside since the weather is so nice) I saw someone getting pulled over by a police car. I have never seen that before. Af...

My Weekend

Image
Oh em gee, I saw the best movie today! So so so good. It was sad but that good kind of sad because it mad you engaged in the movie. Just so good. It made you feel, you know what I am saying? Okay, I saw The Perks of Being a Wallflower . You have to see it! You have to! Oh em gee! Oh, I saw Pitch Perfect  this Friday. Hehehe, yeah I love movies and plus there is so many movies premiering this fall that I want to see. Yeah, plus it's way cheaper here than it is in Sweden, it cost half as much here than it does in Sweden. Oh, yeah I looked up when some of the movies that I have seen since I came here premiere in Sweden and they premiere next year in the spring. Pitch Perfect premieres February 8th, Flight  (hasn't premiered here yet but does in a week or two) premieres on January 25th and Anna Karenina  (hasn't premiered here yet either) premieres on February 15th. Yeah. So this spring when somebody asks me if I want to go see a movie I will be like "I've already see...

A Five Year Plan

Ok, so I have this plan for how I want the next five years of my life to be. Four years of college and then maybe living a year in London some other city in England. Okay, so the London thing is not for sure just something I've kind of always wanted. I remember when I was younger like eight or so I wanted to move to England when I grew up. For now, first USA. The USA plan is two years in California and then two years in New York. New York as in NYC. Fun fact, I was watching The Secret Life of The American Teenager  earlier and Ricky and Amy were talking about a five year plan. Well, theres' was actually a little different than mine. It involved college but it also involved marriage. First they were going to go to college an then after that they planned to get married. Hmmm, I wonder what's going to happen with them 'cause I haven't seen further than that. So, please don't spoil it for me. your writer, Erika

My friend Madde is going on vaction to Austrailia for to weeks tomorrow. She is going to visit her older brother and his girlfriend. I am so jealous. I want to go to Austrailia! Anyway, I hope she has a good time and get memories for life. your writer, Erika

New Years Eve

It's new years eve today! Woop, woop! LOL. I wanted to show you guys my last outfit of the year. Well, I'll might put on a dress later tonight. Maybe. I am not going anywhere, I am just going to be at home with my mom. Nothing special. I am going to watch American Dreamz on TV later. I have never seen the whole film. I have seen it before but not the whole movie because I was so tired that I fell asleep. Talking about movies, I watched a movie earlier on TV starring Danielle Panabaker, Mom at Sixteen . I have seen it before. Anyway, when she gave her baby to her teachers I wanted to cry as much as I did. I had to fight to keep away those tears. your writer, Erika

Last day be4 school

I am sitting here om my bedroom floor thinking about the three past week without school. Always when I get a break from school I think that I am goint o do something and not just stay home and not do nothing.    That is exactly what I do. Maybe not exactly but I don't do anything out of the ordinary. I wanna do stuff. It drives me crazy that people just sit home day after day and do nothing. I know I am not the person to tell people what to do but aaaaaaa! See, it drives crazy. I can't stand it.    I wanna live my life. Not just pop some popcorn and watch it. I wanna be on that big white screen and have adventures. Don't ya? your writer, Erika. p.s. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6APxbBYnoo
