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...

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...

Hi guys! You know what I am actually really proud of myself. I stated yesterday that I was for real going to try and learn a British accent. I also said that it was really hard. I have practiced some today because I am serious about it this time. I really want to learn a British accent, I NEED to learn it. Anyway, I can say (after one day) I have managed to master saying one sentence in a British accent. Woop woop! Who's the queen?! Yup that is me. Hahahaha. It's a three word sentence. I can't even. LOL. That's what I can say "I can't even." I mean, I am a fangirl so what do you expect. LOL. I am going to continue and practice ever day. I wore jeans today! Holy YES! I am so happy. Might seem crazy that I am so excited about wearing jeans but, it has been so hot outside lately that (okay let's just say that it's been really hot outside lately). And like today it was cold enough so that I could wear jeans with out sweating. Okay, it was 22°C so it ...

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)...

Problem is out now! Buy Problem  by Ariana Grande ft Iggy Azalea! Awesome song! Love it! It's totally my jam! No but seriously it's the kind of the only song that I have listened to all day. It's so freaking good! Download Problem from iTunes RIGHT NOW! Here is the link  https://itunes.apple.com/se/album/problem-feat.-iggy-azalea/id864676958 . So tonight was my last day at McDonalds. I am not too sad about it. It is what it is and it's not like it was my dream job and I just needed it to work there because without I wouldn't feel whole inside. No, it's not like that. I am not going to argue for my case on why I she should let me stay. Whatever. I am accepting it and moving on. What else can I really do? If she feels that I am not fit for the job, I mean, yeah she's the boss. I am just like, I got one less problem without you. Hahahaha. Tomorrow I think that I will just work on my monologue that I was supposed to post like yesterday but obviously that di...

Another post. Another day in Erika's world. So what have you all been up to? I haven't done much today. Basicly just chillin' at home, reading more in Conor's book. It's really good, but I feel like a big bluff has been called. I mean like I first of all I thought Anth was British. Well, I guess I just assumed that because Conor is British. And second, I thought that did all the cover together like in the same room but no. Conor did his bits and sent them to Anth who edited his and Conor's bits together. Like, whaaaat?! My mind has just been blown. Like I am mind fucked. Yes, Conor Paul Maynard your book mind fucked me! You mind fucked me! Thank you for fucking me. LOL. No but other than that, I went to the movies with my mom. We saw Last Vegas . It was good. It was fun  to see all of those actors in a different movies. I mean like this is not the type of movie you expect to see De Niro, Freeman or Douglas in. Well, not me anyway. Hahahaha. That movie just mad...

I gotta say that my Friday night (well the whole day actually) has been pretty successful! I accomplished something that I have been trying do all week. I met one of my biggest idols, Conor Maynard! Plus his girlfriend Victoria Tansey and his brother Jack (who I am also a fan of) and Jack's friend Abe Garman. I met them all at Arlanda Airport. I took a chance from a tweet I saw yesterday and just went for it. This girl who met Conor and Jack at the studio which have been recording at all week  tweeted that she had been in contact with a guy who works with Conor and he had told her that their flight would be leaving at around 9 PM. So, I check Arlanda's website and the only flight (the last flight of the day to London) was departing at 9:05 PM. So, I thought that it had to be that one because there was this other flight that was leaving at 8:50 PM (which is around 9 PM) but it was a Norwegian flight at they don't have first class and the planes are kind of small, and yeah. B...

Another day of none successful stalking. Hmmm. I want to meet them so bad. I don't just want to meet Conor,  want to meet Jack and Abe too. Hopefully I will. Jack tweeted a friend earlier today that he will go back to home on England on Friday, so I don't know if I should just chill tomorrow and on Thursday and then just go at it on Friday. I mean I am already planning on getting up early to get to Arlanda early to be there all day until I meet them. The most annoying thing about that whole thing is that I don't know which flight they are taking, I mean which airline they are flying with and British Airways has changed from terminal 5 to terminal 2 but SAS and Norwegian are flying to London from terminal 5. So you see my problem? I have to run back and forth! According to Arlanda's website it takes about 14 minutes to get from terminal 5 to terminal 2. Hmmm. I have to ask my fellow Mayniacs because I HAVE TO MEET THEM! I just have to. I went to the city "early...

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...

Yo, yo it's Friday (as a black haired girl - that's now forgotten - once sang)! OMG! Finally! I celebrated with stuffing myself with cinnamon rolls and coffee. Yum! The dog got some treats too. Hahaha, funny story. I though about buying Merlin some treat but I decided not to and when I came home my mom had bought him some candy. Good thing that I didn't get him something. I mean that then he would have alot of candy and he doesn't need that. So, I have been thinking about my birthday "party" today. Mostly whom I want to invite. Since I want to have this british theme I want to have Union Jack invitation. I want Union Jack to be on the picture side of the invitations. I don't really know yet if I am going to do the whole theme british theme but it would be fun to do something different for a change. It's my 20th birthday. This March I have had this blog for six year. That's a long time. I am sitting here listing to Ed Sheeran's song Small Bu...

Hmm, I miss home. I do, but on the positive side it's only 43 days tomorrow until I fly back home. It feels better to think 43 days instead of six weeks and one day. Those 43 days will just swoop by like I didn't know what happened. Hmm, I want to go home. I just got to calm down and think 43 days. Well, 43 days tomorrow. 42 days on Thursday. 41 days on Friday. 40 days on, yeah you get it. I know that I will receive package from home either this week or next week depending on how fast the Swedish and American post office is. Plus here we get mail on Saturdays so hopefully this week. Hmm, I tried to pay an extra suitcase. Well, I did because the money has be withdrawn from my bank account but at the last step it said that the transaction couldn't be completed. Hmm. But I e-mail BA to see what they have to say about it. I mean I HAVE paid for an extra suitcase but it doesn't say anything about it on my BA page and I have received a conformation e-mail. Well, I just have...
