So this is summer

Found here

Exams are over. Summer for my part has started and I have "nothing" to do for three months. I finally have time to spend my days running outside (listening to Bruce Springsteen), visiting little lakes by my house that I have yet to discover or have neglected visiting for quite some time. I will bring my book and my notebook and a pen and watch the sun rise. I can't wait to work on a tan and drink pepsi from cans and read magazines over and over again and pretend I live in the 60ies and 7oies and use the nights as they should be used, not sleeping but watching movie after movie. I will be updating much more from now on and I will make sure to be better at commenting. Right now I'm going to watch silly TV and take a nap. See you soon.

The Runaways - 2010

To be honest, I haven't been that excited about movies coming out lately. Well, there was Alice in Wonderland and I guess Avatar was ok but I can't say "Last Song", "Prince of Persia" or "Remember me"(to name a few) have got me pre-ordering tickets. This movie, however, have been on my I-want-it-to-come-out-right-now list since I first heard it was being made (all that noise about Kristen Stewart cutting off her hair). As I do love anything 60ies and 70ies, especially when it comes to music, I was very excited when I finally watched it yesterday in the smallest cinema with only 10 or so other people.

I have to be honest I was a little sceptical about Kristen Stewart. Don't get me wrong, I do love Twilight and New Moon (my guilty pleasure) and I do think she fits the part of Bella perfect, but I still think she has some developing to do as far as acting goes. Dekota Fanning on the other side I never doubted. I have been pretty sure since I first saw her in "I am Sam" that she will be her generation's greatest actor.

Truth? They both were amazing. Kristen playing Joan was, in my opinion, her greatest role so far and it really shows that she has the capacity of great acting. Dekota's performance was equally great. Even their singing was great. Another thing I was curious about was the clothes which didn't dissapoint either. I think The Runaways truly captures the 70ies - in music, fashion and spirit.

Why was I born in the 90ies again?

I can't stop loving you

Metropolis or Metoroporisu (2001) is an anime by director Rintaro. One of the most beautiful anime movies you'll ever see. My favoruite scene is when the city falls apart to the music of Ray Charles.

Sorry my commenting have been bad, I'll get back to it tonight, promise.

And everything turns into something

H&M Festival Collection, Found here

It's my birthday today and I'm now *drumroll* twenty years old! It does feel different than all my other birthdays as I do feel quite much older than I did yesterday. I have changed a lot over the years since my first april day but most of the changes has been made over the last months and it has been overwhelming to say the least. I'm not finished changing yet, and I guess I never will, but now that I have a clearer image of myself I think it will be easier to finally be comfortable with who I am and the goals I want to reach.

I have so much to be thankful for in my now twenty year long life: My family, the few friends that care and my passions for music, movies and books and my love for writing. I do not know who I would be or what I would do without them all and it is easier to ignore the not so good when I remember this.

This day will be used eating chocolate cupcakes and tomorrow I will celebrate with dinner and cakes and family.

Oh, and aren't the H&M Festival collection wonderful? Reminds me of Woodstock and the love that is the 70'ies.

Because it's fine, it's ok

Spring is finally here and although my usual pessimistic mood is unyielding I can't help but feel a little more optimistic with the aspect of spring looming around the corner. It feels amazing to be able to go outside without having to turn into a snow man. The feeling of the sun on the skin, green patches visible underneat the lingering snow, is all reasons enough to go outside and just enjoy everything that was deprived by winter.

I try, as often as I can, to appreciate this. When winter comes I always miss summer but when the spring arrives I have a tendency to take it for granted and spring and summer is much too short, at least were I live.

Therefor, each and every morning, I wake up much too early and have a nice breakfast by the window. No books, no computer, no anything. I have found that having a nice start to the day has a tendency to keep a general good feeling throughout the day - very worth having to wake up an hour early!

What I have found

I'm home again. London was everything I had hoped for and so much more. The days were spent walking around London's many streets, shopping, people looking (my favourite! The londoners are all so very stylish!), eating pizza, slurping down Starbuck mocca frappocinos, buying fresh sushi packed in singles, taking the river cruise, jumping off and on the tourist bus and taking the underground to all of London's different places.

This holiday will stay somewhat special for me I'm sure. My clothing style has changed drastically over the course of the last year so it was good to finally fill up my wardrobe with clothes that are more me. Over the previous years I have moved through so many styles of clothes, I have even dabbled into the black world of goths (!), but now I think, finally, I have found something that is truly me. My belief is that clothes isn't merely a garment in which we choose to dress ourself (as going outside nude is not an option for most people) but rather a way to define yourself and, without uttering a single word, tell the world: This is me. It's no denying my belief that the reason for my messed (and not in a good way), undecided style has it's roots in the feeling of being lost and the question that has been roaming inside my head since the beginning of time: Who am I? I'm not saying that by finding your own personal style you will answer those questions but, at least for me, I think it is a step in the right direction.

Right now I'm sitting here eating breakfast consisting of Dr. Pepper and japanese Mochi, the perfect way to start the day, agree? I'm still a bit tired and I have to start stuying today again and needing to set up a new routine, (I'm in a desperate need of a good reading routine). I also have a nighttime movie prepared with Jude Law today. If I can't stay in England forever at least for now I have my dear Mr. Law.

I know I have been beyond bad at commenting and such. I promise it will all better really soon, I can't wait to go through my bloglovin list, although last time I looked it was ca. 500 +. See you all soon!

I've always loved the idea of falling into a rabbit hole and arriving in Wonderland. Arriving in a world where no rules applied and everything was as crazy as the wildest dream. I've always fallen madly in love with anything that is impossible.

Watch it watch it watch it. If not for any other reason than watching Johnny Depp doing the crazy dance. Thank you Tim Burton for making another fantastic, dreamy movie to fall away in.
