Royal Wedding moaning

Every single person who is complaining about the royal wedding costing so much when we could use it for better things (like third world countries, starving children etc) can stick it, misery guts. It makes me really angry to see some of the comments people are leaving on FB.

Amount of money spent annually on cosmetics in the United States: $8 billion. Amount of money spent each year on pet food in Europe and the United States: $17 billion.
-Carlos Dourado

Do YOU own a pet? Do YOU use make up (or any partners you may have)? So not only are you a misery guts, you're a hypocrite. Thanks for clearing that up!
Yes, the money could have been used for better things but did you say the same thing when Diana was married? What about when she died? Her funeral must have cost a lot. How about the Olympic Stadium that's currently being built?

They very well could of aired the wedding on a pay per view channel and donated the money to a charity.
-Vanessa Avalos

The wedding should have been pay-to-view with money going to charity? I bet you will watch the olympics. And I bet you'd watch the World cup, or Eurovision. Oh no wait, you're AMERICAN. That must suck, having such sour grapes over not really being able to join in the celebrations. Naww. How about we make it pay-per-view next time you get a new president, shall we? That'd make it sort of fair, apart fromt he fact a royal wedding only happens once every, shall we say, 20-30 years or so?

A marriage nowadays is a contract between the man and woman coming together with the controllers and the illusion the state. The illusion must be maintained otherwise the king is seen to be naked.
-John Mathieson

I think this is bloody disgraceful. Diana only met Charles about 10 times before they got married. Kate and Wills have been together for almost a decade. I bet you celebrated Dianas wedding. I bet one day you'll get married to your partner, is that only a "Contract between the man and woman together with the controllers and the state"? I'll know to not bother congratulating you then.

To be honest, if you all care so much about the New World Order or starving children, you'd all be giving every spare penny to the charities, or even better, working out there yourself. Anyone can sit at home in their nice comfy chair sat on their new computer with 3G internet and post on Facebook that the Royal wedding is a disgrace, but to be honest you're all as bad as eachother, you're all hypocrites and you're all misery guts.
The royal wedding was not about publicity nor making money, nor was it two people making a contract with "The controllers" whoever these controllers may be, it was about a man and a woman, who loved eachother and had been together for almost a decade, committing themselves to a lifetime with each other and the only reason it was so big was because one of them happened to be the son of the future king of England. I bet you anything that to Kathrine, William is not "Prince William of Wales" but just Wills, and that's all there is to it.

Shrewsbury

I'm thinking of applying for a school trip to Shrewsbury. We have to write an application explaining what we can bring to the trip, as only 6 people can go, but I don't know if I'll be overlooked because of being English :/

Woahhhhhhh

Long time no writing.
Since the last entry, qhuite a lot of little things have happened.

First off, for the last week and a bit, mum's been in England. This means free run of the house from end of school till 19:30 every day. LEGEND!
On the other hand, it means I have to cook and tidy and all that jazz, which is really annoying since I have stuff like homework to do too :(

Also, I've fially got a diagnosis - I have Autism. they don't know what type of Autism it is yet, they only know that I have it. I had to go for more tests, but my last one was yesterday, after filling in some questionaire, they said I don't have to come back again for the forseeable future, which is all good. It means no missing history lessons again.

After starting school in Uddevalla, Henrik got a laptop. That means more online activity from him (Ending up in me using Mafia Wars.....) Which, overall, is pretty damn good. I'm well pleased. Ta love ^^

We also had IB camp at Sjöhaga. There's not really much to say about that other than we sat up by the fire by the lake untill about 2am in the morning. Well, 8 of us did, the rest went off earlier. They were smart.
Saying that, we were all pretty much 100% awake at 7am when we had to get up after just 5 hours sleep. It was well good.

Henrik's supposed to be coming round on friday, providing he's allowed after his antics on monday. His mum got pissed at him because he decided to.. wrestle the cat..
..Yeah..... Anyway, I'm going to find out if he's allowed or not some time today. Hoping he can!

&& The Beautiful Mess are no longer :(
Jordan has a new band (Him, Thomas and Tobbe). They've got a gig on friday saturday which I'm almost deffinatly at, so I shall report back on the potential epicness of this new band (No name chosen as of 2nd September).

Tuesday 7th July - London

All day on a bus usually sounds boring right?
Wrong.

Today it was "Bus tour round London" day (Even though I'd seen most of it before anyway, but oh well xD)
We had this crazy tour guide, who sat there telling us about all the different sights, called Phil. He was so funny. Can't really remember that much now, but I remember it was way cool xD

Then it was off to the Trocadero Center in Picadilly, where I bought 2 t-shirts, a watch, a pair of those sunglasses that have slits in them (They got the Union Jack on the frount 8D) and some little things from the shops there. The flashing lights and colours are amazing x_x

Then we went to the Pasaje Del Terror, on the other side of the Trocadero Center, which incidentally was only a 10 minute walk away from where the Harry Potter premier was going on AT THAT VERY MOMENT. (I was very tempted to ditch the Terror thing and go stalk Draco Malfoy instead *drool* but my stepdad wouldn't let me <_<)

Ahem. anyway, I digress. The Pasaje Del Terror was kinda like Gastern Ghost Hotel (However you spell it) In that you walk around holding onto the person in front while shit jumps out at you, only this was actually scary.

I can't remember all the chambers, but I can remember some of them.

The first corner you go round you meet a monk who tells you that you must complete the labyrinth as it is the only way out, to hold onto the person in front at all times and NOT to run. you walk for a few seconds round another few corners, and then you have to walk through a chamber where there is a fence on your right, behind which is a guy dressed as a Zombie who is smashing a shovel against the bars. Once the last person (In this case, me -.-') has gone halfway through the room holding onto the others, the gate opens and the zombie comes running out screaming and shouting while chasing after you till you round the next 2 corners.

The same sort of thing happens a few times and then you reach halfway where you see the monk again. "Well done to have made it this far, you must all stick together now, not long left to go. In the next room is a girl. She is the prettiest girl in the world, yes she is, but you MUST NOT LOOK HER IN THE FACE, or doom be upon you!! Continue now, and pray you make it to the end.." and then you're off again.

When we went round the next corner, everyone had their heads down looking at the floor. All you could see from this position was a load of flashing white lights, like lightening, lighting up the floor and the feet of the person in front of you, and you could hear this girl screaming and cackling. Once round the corner everyone looked up and forward to the stairs ahead, but me, being the dickhead that I am, looked back to see what was behind, only to see a woman dressed like the girl from "The Exorcist" running like a spider behind us all. This shocked me so much I started screaming, meaning the other 7 people ahead of me turned round to see what it was about and subsequently started screaming and running too.

Oh how I like to boast about being able to make Mass-hysteria run wild.

Again this happens a few more times (Although, even though it's pretty much the same thing each time it does not get boring or predictable at all, in fact, I loved it.) till you come running out of the door at the end, change your shorts after shitting yourself so many times, and carry on your merry way home, looking over your shoulder periodically expecting to see some disfigured person running after you.

All in all? fucking ace :D

Sunday 5th July - Hampton Court Palace

Hampton Court Palace. Former home of Henry VIII. It was fun :)

On the way there we saw a sign by a church that said "There's probably no bus, so come and enjoy God" LOL. It was next to a busstop. That busstop is known for ALWAYS being missed by busdrivers because hardly anyone wants to get off in that estate hahaha.

Our GPS took us down some country road, meaning we were driving about like fools for about an hour before finding the ACTUAL way to Hampton Court, but oh well.

I met a guy who works there called Ian Franklin who told me all about ghosts and stuff, and is known in the Parapsychology community as being a very good referance when looking for work. He said that he'd send me a letter saying he's talked to me and it convinced I am genuinley intrigued by the paranormal blah blah blah. Basically I'm going to get my first referance to universitary already :D

Can't wait ^^

Holiday to England (The journey there)

FRIDAY 3RD JULY
Woke up at 6:30. Left 10 minutes late at 7:25 to go to the vets for some vaccine that the dogs had to have to cross the borders.
Everyone was squashed in the car, I couldn't move my legs at all xD

Practised my french a little, seeing as we'd be going through 3 countries where you must speak french if you need help and can't speak dutch (France, Holland and Belgium).

Estimated time of arrival in Hamburg: 14:46.

My camera batteries were dead, so I had to wait till we got to Denmark to take photos so that Mark could go buy some more X_X
There were SO may lorries about, it was weirdly scary diving next to them all. It felt like you could be squashed at any moment D:

I slept all the way to Varberg haha.
We got to Denmark at 14:30 after crossing a bridge where there were windmills IN THE SEA. Why?!

Estimated time of arrival in Hamburg: 15:30.

Mark swapped with my mum once we reached Denmark so that she could rest from driving, but it didn't last long - after an hour or two when we reached a second toll bridge she swapped back cause he kept drifting from side to side in his lane O.O

Estimated time of arrival in Hamburg: 19:30

We then spent half an hour looking out the windows for any signs of a petrol station as we were running out FAST. We found one, and subsequently topped up on gas. I then insisted we listen to Michael Jackson for a bit, so my mum put in my MJ CD, only to take it out again after 2 songs because she found his voice annoying. Pfft.

We reached the Danish/German border at 19:35. Everyone was tired and wanting to eat tea, so we stopped off and ate.

Estimated time of arrival in Hamburg: 21:30.

When on the final leg of today's journey, we past a field that smelt SO bad, even though the windows were up and the AC was on, you could STILL smell it. THIS IS WHY I HATE PIGS.

We got to Hamburg at 22:30, almost 8 hours after our initial arrival time, because we had to drive at max 100kmph on the motorways and shit because we had a trailer, so we got absolutely no time to see the city, we just had to go straight to sleep, although, the campsite we were stayingat was SHITE. It was horrific.



SATURDAY 4TH JULY
Mam woke us up at 4:30 this morning because she HATED the place we were staying. She couldn't sleep because it was annoying her so much, so after a few hours she woke everyone up and we set off about 4 hours earlier than planned XD We left at 5.

By 9:00 our estimated time of arrival in Calais (to get the ferry to Dover) was 14:00.

I tried playing "I Spy" with Mark, but when it was his turn to choose, he chose things that no one could ever have got, so I gave up and told him he failed.

The radio stations in Holland are great - just like in England haha. we had loads of fun listening to random Dutch music, and listening to the news was also a laugh :P

I slept for a bit before getting to Belgium at 13:17.

We reached France at 16:15. Time of arrival in Calais: 16:54.
I love France. I changed my mind from all those Anti-French things, it's beautiful. I'd love to go on holiday there.

We reached Calais at 17:01, so were able to get the 18:00 crossing instead of the planned 19:00 crossing, which was good. It was fun being able to see both France and England at the same time in the middle of the English Channel.

We landed in England at 18:37 Local time (19:37 Swedish time), so although the crossing took 1½ hours, we only actually lost 30 mins ;]

We drove past a sign for Ramsgate (LOL <3) and were at Mark's parent's house by 8:45pm :)

Fun fun fun

Not done much over the last few days. Had some test thingy on wednesday about my Autism that should've been on thursday too, but I work so fast that they didn't need to. I was therefore sat at home on thursday doing sweet fuck all.

Either friday or saturday I was supposed to go into Göteborg, but in the end I didn't, so Mark's going to buy the hair dye himself instead ^^

Friday we went to eat out in Falköping, but mother refused to listen to me when I said that everything would be shut, so we ended up going to McDonalds.. Because everything was shut -.-
We then went to Ninni's house to see kittens, and MY GOD O_O

They're so fucking cute!!
9 days old, I could hold them in one hand *melt*
We have to wait till august to get mine though, I wanted to take her there and then ;o

She's like, dark grey/black with a white patch on her chin/underneath of her neck, one just below, and one down my the back legs, and she has little white "socks" on her feet :3
I'm naming her Lyla :D

Saturday, 13 days before we drive to England, my stepdad managed to put our new car in a ditch somewhere near Vedum.

I knew he was a smart person, but I didn't know he was that fucking smart.

Apparently he was driving along from Herrljunga back home, and suddenly he was driving on the verge, so he tried to steer the car back up onto the road, and ended up rolling it into the ditch completely.
One of the wheels failed, and it's dented all over.

And this is about 3 weeks after he told me off for making a dent the size of a 50öre/1p coin on the back bumber. HAH.

Yesterday I bleached my hair. It came out an.. interesting colour. Ginger. It looks so cool! I almost don't want to colour it now haha.

Studidag

Woooo no school today. Spent the whole day so far working on french and on English stuff, although to be honest, the English stuff was just reading Harry Potter, so i dont know if that counts haha.

Karina went off to see Simon, so I bet she's been making out since about 11 -.-
I thought today was going to be shitty and boring, but actually, it lived up to higher standards.

Hoping that someone loggs on MSN soon though, cause I'm bored as shit on the talking front.

Sucks to be me I guess.

Well.. What more..
Thinking of typng a loooong email to Beckie some time today. I've been meaning to since about.. January?
She keeps asking me for one too, I guess I'm a big failure on that frount haha.
Also need to write to my nan, as I don't get to say all the stuff I want to when she rings at the weekends. I should get her to read it out to my grandad too, caus eI hardly ever get to speak to him, as he's always in bed when she rings.

I've been really missing people in England lately. I think it's come from the fact we're all chosing Gymnasiats and shit, and they're already halfway through GCSE's. I kinda wish I was doing them instead, even thoughthe prospect of doing them instea,d as I would really really love to be doing more History, and less Swedish!

I'm kinda worried about the whole Nationella prov (National Test) in maths on thursday too, It's going to go good, I know, but I can't stop the feeling that I'm going to fail. I think that's come about because I finally found a Gymnasiat that I want to go to really badly, and obviously that leads me to think that no matter what I do I'm going to fail and not be able to go there.
It kinda sucks really, cause I know I could be an "MVG child" and get MVG in everything (Apart from Swedish and Gym) but I lack the effort needed, and that worries me.

On a completely different note, we're finally getting to the bottem of this Autism issue. syster Johan has finally recieved the "Formula A" that my mum had to fill in, and the school doctor rang Skövde Hospital to find out what to do next, so hopefully we're on or way forwards with that, so that it's all sorted.

We're getting a new car soon too, after my mum had a run-in with a Volvo in our other one, and it had to be written off. I'm kind of gutted, cause I loved that old car, but now we're getting a Hyundi, so I'll have to speak Japanese to it all the time HAHA. My mum's gutted too, cause she liked the old car for one, and also because she's now got to get a wierd Swedish car, so we wont be able to drive like English people anymore, we're going to have to be more Swedish xD
I was hoping she'd be able to get another English car, but the cost of buying one and then flying over so that we could drive it back, and the time that would take was just too much for us to be able to do, seeing as my stepdad can't take time off work and they can't leave me and my foster sister home alone all day, which admittedly would have been rather fun. Parties all night! Woo!

I've managed to write 12 A5 pages on my story, including the Preface, and so far it's been going good, although I now have a writers block, so if anyone could help, that'd be amazing!

Anyway, must be off to go do some work.
Blogging soon
