Erika's World

Yo! I made my very own almond paste for the first time today! It was really easy. I also made nutella but I have made that before. I am going to make a Christmas candy called "Mozart kulor" tomorrow so I just wanted to try to make my own almond paste just to see how easy it was and to learn how to do it. The most annoying thing was to peel off the peel on the almonds. I mean to took a few minutes. It was just boring. Oh my God you guys! Like I am so freaking bored right now! I mean seriously I could go to bed to just because I am bored. My boredom has led me to looking through pictures from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. I don't now but for some reason I had a thing where I always took selfies of myself in the mirrors in the WC at the movies. For some reason the WC was always, well often anyway, empty so I just snapped some pictures. Hahaha. I am looking at all of my selfies from SB and IDK they are awesome, I mean hmmm I don't know how to say this in english (it so...

YOLO everyone, YOLO. How are y'all feeling this fine fine Saturday? LOL, nah I am good. I am just sitting here and watching a movie. Nothing special. Tomorrow there it's Sunday and after that there is another week and that means back to Partaj again. Well on Wednesday anyway since we shoot on Wednesday's. But tomorrow, what am I going to do tomorrow? Hmm, anyone who has any ideas? Hahaha maybe you are just as bored as I am or maybe it is just me. Hahaha I am weird but you still got to love me right. I am adorable. I am going to leave you with an old video from when I lived in Santa Barbara, what's in my purse. (Oooo, might do another video like that tomorrow, well I am going to video blog since I have kind of had a writers block the last few days). your writer, Erika

So I was thinking earlier about what I wrote yesterday and surely I can suck it up for one semester because so that I can go and see One Direction. Hmm or maybe I should just try New York. Mohahaha! I don't know, NYC seems like a lovely city. Seems, since I don't know. Hmmmm. I just did my nails. Well, I did them started this post, "spaced out" (aka got distracted by something else). Anyway, what I wanted to say is is that I do not like the result so tomorrow night I will redo them. I have to buy new nail polish remover tomorrow 'cause I don't like the one that I do have. Why can't they have CVS in Sweden or at least sell CVS's own brand here? Hmmm. I used their nail polish remover when I lived in SB and I liked it. Hahaha, the one that I have now is some cheap brand that I bought at Inn och Finn (like the 99 cent store, it's cheap but not just 99 cent cheap, lets just say that it cheaper, okay). Never buying that again, I can tell you that. Hmm,...

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...

LOL. So I rented this movie, Think Like A Man , today but I don't think I am going to watch it. I mean I don't think that I have time to watch it. Because soon it's Lotta på Liseberg  and an old friend whos' a backup dancer for Mary N'Diaye is going to dance behind her tonight so I want to watch that. I mean it's always fun to see people you know/ used to know succeed in whatever makes them happy. Hopefully I'll succeed in something some day. I like a lot of things. I feel like the most successful thing that I have had the last few years was Have It Hollywood but I stopped that. I mean when I first moved to Santa Barbara I ha barely no internet at all so I couldn't blog at all for a few days. Then I just didn't have time because of school and all I have now is Erika's World. I mean this blog is not as demanding as as HIH was. I mean I used to update HIH at least 20 times a day. I mean when you're in college you don't have time for that. I...

I get so weirded up when I have no school and work to worry about. I am like it's Friday but no it's only Thursday. Soon it's Friday in less than an hour. I need a focus or something. LOL. I know what I want but that seems impossible. Like what am I even thinking but I am going to try to do my best and go for it. I have not direct plan for it just go for it! YOLO, life is to short to make plans! Live in the moment. Plus right now it's summer time! Hahaha. Sometimes I just say stuff without really explaining what I am talking about. I mean sometimes I don't want people to know the underlining story, maybe the whole thing is too complicated or it is just gone too long for me to actually say what it really is. Sometimes I feel like should start Have It Hollywood again. I mean you know it got kind of successful but at the end, well why I stopped blogging was because when I moved to SB the hostel I stayed at had a crappy wi-fi and then I just didn't have time/ didn...

YOLO! How's life for everyone out there? Mine is okay. I am sitting here blogging to keep you all happy while blasting music in my earphones. LOL. You know the life of a fangirl. YOLO, that's the motto. Anyway as you all know (if you follow me on twitter and instagram and have me on facebook, you know all of that shit) I went to the Ke$ha concert with my best friend Linda last night. Awesome night. Why didn't Oscar Zia know that Ke$ha was there (hello we could have hung out and danced together in the crowd!)? Why didn't see William Forslund (FML)? Except for that awesome night! Linda said it was the best concert that she has ever been too! Nah, clearly she hasn't been to a One Direction concert or a Justin Bieber concert! Clearly! Ke$ha is the second best concert that I have ever been to (1D and JB are tied for 1st place or whatever you say). Two girls at the concert handed these out It was a really good concert. I have never gotten so many good pict...

OMG! Today has been along and hot day. Reminder to self: not to wear as warm clothes tomorrow. I didn't wear warm clothes, okay maybe my black leggings (okay maybe I should have worn shirts instead). Plus, I just check the weather prognosis for tomorrow and it's going to rain, why does that matter? Huh, I am going to be inside all day so maybe I can wear shorts anyway. Hmm. Eh, I'll just wait until tomorrow to see what the weather is like then. I am glad the weather is good! I just wish I was in Cali instead, I mean is much more fun to got to the beach there compared to here. I remember the first time I went ti the beach in SB. I took off my shoes (because I was on the, that makes sense right?) but I had to put them back on because the sand was burning my feet! Seriously, I don't understand how the people playing volleyball didn't get burn injuries on their feet?! That, yeah that surprises me! It really does, cause I tried to fight it but I was too weak. LOL. I ...

Watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians is not good! I miss Cali. LOL, but when I am in Cali I miss Europe. Hmm. Maybe I should move to London. Australia? LOL, that's even further away. Whatevs! I am not going to school next semester. What I'll be doing I haven't quite figured out. YOLO. Work I guess but I mean other than that. No, I don't know. All know it's summer now and I am going to try to enjoy my time the best way I can. I am also going to try not to over think the little things that upsets me, which is alot easier said than done. 'Cause I tend to do that alot. Hmmm. I feel so free! I mean no school, like what the heck am I going to do. Have fun! I want to go the beach but the beach here is not the same as in Cali. Gosh I miss. It's a different way there. Things are just different. Hmm. Maybe someday (obviously) I'll go back there. I need to. I'll buy a house in Malibu, Venice, Santa Monica or something. I don't know. Maybe in The Hills...

OMG! Today I went to school IN SWEDEN for the first time in like 8 months or so. It was weird. They spoke swedish. Nah, but it was weird. I don't know. It's like people are different here, I mean yeah of course they are. I am just, I don't know. I've gotten just to the Cali style of life. Just how people are and act and represent themselves. Here people are much more reserved. In the US (well in Cali, or well in SB - 'cause that's where I lived) people are more outgoing. I like once you get to know someone here there is no difference between the two it's just, hmm, I guess people are more cautious. Lisa (the woman that I stayed with the longest) said that people in New Work (she's from NY) are not as friendly as in SB. Like, in New York people wouldn't just start talking to a stranger. If someone were to do that people would just like at them like their crazy or just ignore them and way away. So that's in the same country. I feel like some Swedes...

Hmmm, so I guess it's time for the last post for the year. This has certainly been a year out of the ordinary. I graduated from high school, I went to Berlin with my senior classmates, I moved to the United States (and back again), plus (and do not forget) I went to school in the United States. Something I've always wanted to do, though I had high school in mind but if you do that you have to repeat that year when you come back and no than you. Now 2013, what do you have in store for me? Can we top 2012? Well, I think that we can if we just try? Where should we move next? Hahaha, away from home would be a good start since I can't live at home forever but for now it suits me. I mean it's comfortable. (Oh, damn I was just looking through my facebook pictures and I forgot about the release party/ fan event for Justin Bieber's Believe ). I don't really have any New Years resolutions. I never have any. It's just always the same. Do whatever you can to be whatev...
