If I Stay

Hi guys. How are you? I am good. I went and saw If I Stay  earlier this evening. Oh my God! That movie was so freaking good! There was not a dry eye in the theater. OMG. The tears just kept running down my chin. OMG and every time that I had calmed myself down the water works started again. There was this one woman who totally broke down. You could here her sobbing loudly in the quiet theater. The movie is so beautiful! I really have to read the book now. I just did a little (quick) internet search about the book and there is a sequel titled Where She Went . My mom was happy when I told her that, because she would have had liked a different ending. Like she would have wanted to know more of what happened after she woke up. I totally have to read book books now. Hehehe. I gotta say, Chloë Grace Moretz was amazing in the movie. She has too win several awards for her role as Mia. I mean she IS going to win several awards for her role as Mia. She is really talented. I am kind of je...

These Are My Confessions

Hi guys! OMG I am sitting here watching the end of the World Cup finale, playing Farm Hero Saga and listening to Hunter Hayes. Just kind of an amazing evening. LOL, I haven't been watching the whole game (hahahahahahahaha no), I've been watching Confessions of a Shopaholic.  LOL because it's  Confessions of a Shopaholic , maybe not the greatest movie of all times and as in all cases where book-made-into-a-movie the books are way better. Since the movies is based on the first two books about Becky Bloomwood.  Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Takes Manhattan . You know she is British, right? I mean the character Becky Bloomwood. I just check wikipeda and it says that there is another Shopaholic book coming later this year. According to wikipedia the book will be called Shopaholic To The Stars . Aaaa! Another book! I am so excited. Like I thought that the fifth book Shopaholic & Baby  was the last one the she released a sixth book about Becky and her sho...

Ender's Game

Hi guys! How are you? So two posts today, huh. What do I do to myself? Hahahaha. Nah, it's all pleasure though. So I saw Ender's Game  last night. Finally! I have to say, like in most cases (book-becomes-movie) the book is a billion times better. The movies was okay but I don't think that I would have liked it as much if I hadn't read the book. Have you read the book? I honestly think that everyone you go and read the book. It's way way way better than the movie. One thought really struck me when I was watching the movie last night. The book was first published back on January 15th 1985. 1985. Think about it. Like Orson Scott Card who wrote the book was a little bit a head of his time. I mean like how he describes the mind games and how they are on these like iPad like things. Idk but that's the vision I had in my head. your writer, Erika

Hi guys waddup waddup waddup (that's how you spell it right, "waddup", I mean the slang version? Gosh I don't want to seem illiterate or something)! LOL. I am good, I am cool. I haven't done much today. I have just been home all day long since I don't work today. I work tomorrow tough. Like four hours, between 4 PM and 8 PM. Four hours isn't bad but it's just the time of the day that those four hours are scheduled. Like, I rather work those hours from like 10 AM to 2 PM. Sounds much better to me. I'd probably get asked if I can get in a little bit earlier. Maybe I'll take it. It spends on how much earlier. One time they asked me if I could get in like an hours earlier but I told the I could get in like 30 minutes earlier and that was okay. Hmm, maybe I'll do that. I bought a new book the other week. The Fault In Our Stars  by John Green. Everyone is reading it but that is not why it bought, because it's hot to read it. I first heard a...

Something New, Something Old

So basically I haven't done much today. I mean like I haven't left the apartment, except for opening the door to reach the mail box so that I could get the mail but like that doesn't count. Hahaha. I did bake some more bread tough and I did do the dishes. So, um, yeah. At least that's something. Tomorrow I am not going to do much either, except for studying. You see I am starting this new job on Wednesday and they gave me a introduction book that I have to read but like it's mostly obvious things. I mean to always be nice to the customer and always have a smile on your face etc etc. But like the book is (I think it was) 137 pages but there is not a lot on every page so I will probably finish it in like half an hour or so. You also had to write down things in the book. Like OMG, I thought that I was done with school. Homework, I meant homework. Hahahaha. Hmmm. Don't know what else to write here so I prompt you all to check out my tumblr,  http://eriikaworld.tum...

Lifestyle

Hi! So I continued reading in Conor's book today. Just so unbelievably awesome! What a sweet life he seemed to be living. I mean when he moved to London, like he got to be in the recoding studio everyday and still kind of be a part of that uni lifestyle. I mean visit his friends in their halls, go to popular places where all the uni kids hang out. I mean it sounded pretty sweet in a way. But he complains about in the book that he kind of relied on his friends at uni for a social life since he didn't know anyone in London, that he was pretty much alone without them. Except for that it all seems pretty sweet. I really recommend that you buy his book, Take Off . You won't regret it. It's really good. I really hope that I get to meet him again. He's just, I mean I am a really huge fan of him. I have about 30 pages left but I'll finish that tomorrow, this is a book that you latterly have to tare me from. The only reason that I put it down is because I really need to ...

Still On The Ground

Hi guys! How are you? I am good I have done much today except for doing laundry and taking a long walk with Merlin. I really don't like taking long walks with him. Like I was already going for  a walk and my mom asked me if I could bring him since she was going grocery shopping and I guess she didn't want hime to be alone, plus I guess he hadn't really been out for a while. So, IDK, I brought him. I mean, yeah, I love him he's a nice dog but like, you can't keep a steady pace with him because he likes to sniff things and all of the sudden he just starts to run like a maniac until the leash pulls him back. Like it's just easier to take a long walk on your own. Like Merlin and I went for an hour and a half long walk. I like long walks. I mean it's relaxing and freeing. And sometimes not so much. It's only nice if you're alone. I have been reading some more in Conor's book Take Off . Oh my God it's just so incredibly good! Like I am just learn...

The Day In Between

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...

Right Back To Work

How are you all of my luvies? Good I hope. Hahaha, today I sat in the audience for some weird Swedish show that I'll probably won't watch when it airs on TV this fall. I'll probably just watch to see if I can see myself in audience. LOL. I am glad to get back to another show tomorrow. I've missed it. I hope it will be as fun as last week. I am going to bring my book (I am reading Mini Shopaholic  by Sophie Kinsella) so that I have something to read on my way to work and on my way home. Especially on my way home 'cause my phone tend to die since I don't get a chance to charge all day, I mean I bring my charger with me plus I also work until usually around 9 PM. So that is, yeah kind late and I am not usally home until 10:30 PM. I want to buy a hat. I think that it would be a cute accessory. I saw a few at TGR in Sollentuna Centrum (okay, not hat related but a funny story. Before I had to be at studio today I went to Sollentuna Centrum and I went to Lindex just ...

@ School

It rained today incase you wanted a weather report. I don't know the lines for any of the plays I have to learn study lines for, which means a lot of studying this weekend. Film paper and three fucking scripts to study. Okay that fucking might sound like I am nagging like it's a bad thing. I mean yeah, of course I am complaining I have alot of schoolwork to do and not knowing any of the lines is going to show the most. If I don't know the answer to a question on one of my finals okay it's just one question, it's going to hurt me more if I don't know any of my lines. My professor for my Beginning Acting class told me that on Monday he will take note of who can and who doesn't know their lines. Ooops! Fortunately, I don't have that many lines for that play. I am in one scene. We are doing the first two acts of Our Town  by Thornton Wilder and I am Mrs Gibbs. For my Intermediate Acting A I have lines to half a scene to learn. The second half of the first sc...

Ender

Hi, hi.  Today has been a confusing day. Daylight savings time. I mean just the sun. I mean (again), when I came out of the shower this morning the sun was really shining trough the blinds. When I came was on my way home from school today, you could see the sun about to set and then - BOOM! - it was pitch dark. Yeah, all that happened in like 30 minutes. Damn! Yeah, I know. The weather has been nice today 32 degrees celsius/ 90 degrees fahrenheit. That's not what a scandinavian girl like me is used to for November 5th but I am not complaining. Have I told you this? If I have, well, then this will just refresh your memory. We are reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card in my english class. It's a science fiction book about a boy named Ender Wiggin (his real name is Andrew but he prefers Ender). He is six years old and super smart. Therefore he is sent to Battle School in space to be trained to be a solider so that he can save humankind from buggers (aliens?). Anyway, Summ...

Today

Image
Hi lovesters! How ya'll doing? I am fine, thanks for asking. Nice it's only about 11:50 AM I haven't done much today. I talked to my mom on skype and she told me about Cornelia's first birthday party. She ate so much cake that her parents had to change her clothes. LOL. I told my mom that I thought that it would be fun to go to a Julbord (Christmas buffe) when I come home. We talk about it every year but I don't know why it seems to be the only thing that we do, talk about it. Well, she said that she would keep an eye out for ads in about a month when they start popping up everywhere. Today I am going to check out some sight here in Santa Barbara. I have already seen the Stern Wharf (the pier) so I thought that take my Southern California travel guide to use. One of the places that I thinking about visiting is in one of my favorite movies, It's Complicated . How cool isn't that! Right! Good thing that I have my camera so that I can take alot of pictures....

Shopping Spree

LOL, I kind of went on a shopping spree today. Well, it depands on who you ask. I mean, I didn't buy much but I bought a few things. Like my graduation dress and new earphones. Just the neccesary. LOL. your writer, Erika

The Cover For My Project Plan

Image
What's up my peeps? Jkjk. Well, I just wanted to show you guys the cover I made for my project plan. I made it today in like, maybe, 20 minutes or less. I'm just guessing because I didn't time myself. What do you think of it? your writer, Erika

A Friend For Life

Today in school Linda and I wrote in each others' year book. First I just blanked and didn't know what to write since it is not a common thing to write in each others year book in Sweden. I thought it would be a fun thing to do since it is our senior year and all. A memory for life. First I didn't know what to write, so I wrote "I don't know what to write" because that usally get me started. So it did. I started writing about when we first met (almost two and a half years ago). I hated that week, well not hated but it felt kind of unecessary and I am sure she felt the same way. It was neccasary in one way, we met. your writer, Erika

Sweet Little Lies

Image
Today I went to Kungsträdgården. I sat there for a while a read Sweet Little Lies by Lauren Conrad. I am on page 108 at the moment. And so far so good. Lauren is a really good writer. I love L.A Candy . The book gets better and better towards the end. It is ok in the begining. What I mean is the if you are considering reading these books you should. If you know any other great books in English, please tell me. My plan is to only read books in English until the SAT's. your writer, Erika

This Friday Night

"There's a strager in my bed. Glitter all over the room." I am have no plans for tonight. So, the offer from last night still stands. You have my number, so what are you waiting for? Take this innocent beauty for a night on da town. LOL! JK! Seriously. I think I am going to read a little bit in Shopaholic And a Baby later. I love that book. I started reading it five days ago and I am on page 322 (Swedish version) now. The book has 412 pages (incaes you were wondering). The book is so exciting. You should really read it if you are looking for a good book to read. I think you should the other books in the Shopaholic series. Especially the four books before this one. Not that you have to because everything gets explained in the book. I mean if something has happened in one of the previous books you get a breif recap. What do you like to read? your writer, Erika
