Shiit!

Shit, vad fort tiden gar. Det var redan 4 dagar sedan jag skrev i bloggen och det kandes som om jag gjorde det igar. Wow!

Soo, jag och Kiel ar.... hmmm.. jag vet inte. Men vi ska umgas imorgon och han fragade om jag ville folja med honom till Florida nasta helg. Det vill jag och Mimi sa att jag fick ocksa :D Sa jag far aka ner till Florida igen :D

Larry aker pa lordag och blir borta i tva veckor, sa da ar det bara jag och Mimi igen.

Barnen har Spring Break nasta vecka. Usch, en hel vecka nar dom ar lediga. Hur tusan ska jag orka? Och vad ska man hitta pa varje dag? Sa tragiskt!

Adela var har i lordags. Vi festade sa klart. Eller mer hon och Lesia festade. Jag korde, haha. Dom drack en flaska champagne var, och sen blev Lesia arg nar jag sa att hon inte fick kora. Hon var askalas om vi sager sa. Nar vi var i Down Town sa traffade jag pa Handsome Joye (som ar Travis van och faktiskt riktigt trevlig). Jag festade med honom en kvall och tusan vad roligt jag hade. Cute Joye sag vi ocksa, vilket ar en college student faktiskt :O. Vi ar lika forvanad. Sen sag vi ocksa Prince William (aka Jackson). Alla ar Lesias gamla flortar. Det var sjuuuukt! Jag och Kiel akte tidigt sa jag kunde ge honom skjuts hem. Utanfor hans barack sa var det ett helt gang med soldater (klockan ar halv tva pa natten) och dom SPRINGER?! Lite tortyr! Kiel sa att dom antagligen hade traning. Daligt nar dom har traning mitt i natten, haha!

Fortfarande inget kort pa Kiel. Kommer senare!

Spanska

Idag pa spanskan sa skulle vi skriva mycket, och jag har valt att publicera det jag har skrivit. Allt jag kan saga ar att jag maste ha varit pa ett valdig melankoliskt humor idag, haha. Jag kommer oversatta den for mina icke spansktalande lasare (sa som familjen och Sara:) Just ja, det ar inte en direkt oversattning fran spanskan utan den ar omgjord till sa korrekt svenska jag kan gora.
Forst skulle vi skriva om vart favoritdjur och hur vi identifierar oss med det.



El Cisne!
Yo escojo los cisnes de mis animales favoritos.
Los cisnes pueden volar y para mi, es simboliza libertad. Yo quiero poder volar y ver cosas nuevas cuando me aburro con la vida.
Los cisnes son, tambien, muy bonitos. No tal vez con estan bebe cisnes, pero sabe siempre creceran seran bonitos. Yo creo todas las personas creceran y seran bonitas tambien.
Los cisnes estan con sus companjeras hasta la muerte. Es un compromiso de toda la vida. No soy casada, pero creo, si estoy con un muchacho, yo estoy solo con el.
Svanen
Jag har valt svanen som mitt favoritdjur.
Svanen kan flyga och for mig symboliserar det frihet. Jag vill kunna flyga och se nya saker nar mitt liv trakar ut mig.
Svanen ar, ocksa, mycket vacker. Kanske inte nar den ar en baby svan, men man vet att den alltid kommer vaxa upp och bli vacker. Jag tror att alla manniskor vaxer upp och blir vackra ocksa.
Svanen ar med sin partner tills den dor. Det ar en lifelong commitment. Jag ar inte gift men jag tror att om jag ar med en kille ar jag bara med honom.
Sen skulle vi skriva en dikt, dar vi skulle svara pa fragar. Jag skriver fragorna forst.
1. Vem ar jag?
2. Varfor ar jag jag?
3. Vem vill jag vara?
4. Nar?
-------
5. Repetera fraga 1
6. Tills nar?
7. Hur mar jag?
-------
8. Vem ar jag? (annat an #1)
9. Var?
10. Repetera 8.
11. Var ar jag och varfor?
Soy la chica extranjera
Porque yo queria intentar mis alas y aprender volar
Pero yo quiero ser yo y no extranjera
Yo quiero ser yo ahora
Soy la chica extranjera
Hasta la gente me ve y no ve mi nacionalidad
No me siento sueca pero para los americanos, sueca es todo soy
Soy una chica perdida
En un mundo grande
Soy una chica perdida
En un pais extranjo solo porque yo queria aprender a volar.
Jag ar den utlansdska flickan
Darfor att jag ville prova mina vingar och lara mig att flyga
Men jag vill vara jag och inte utlandsk
Jag vill vara jag nu
Jag ar den utlandska flickan
Tills manniskor kan se mig och inte min nationalitet
Jag kanner mig inte svensk men for amerikanerna ar svensk allt jag ar.
Jag ar en vilsen flicka
I en stor varld
Jag ar en vilsen flicka
I ett konstigt land bara darfor att jag ville lara mig att flyga.
Tjohopp!

Jag tycker faktiskt vi skulle ha skickat Linda Bengtzing och Markoolio for deras lat var sa jaaavla skon! Synd att dom inte tavlade :/

Saying it's simply that, is simply a lie

Det har lanade jag fran en bekant som jag pratar med pa myspace. Han skrev det i sin dagbok. Jag haller med. Och for att inte vara army sa har han otroligt stor koll pa kanslorna som ar inblandade.

I wrote this in my dream, believe it or not. Then I wrote this the next day and DEJA VU.

On a personal note: If you don't support the war, that's okay, but I think you should support the troops. They're out there everyday fighting, full well knowing they might not even make it back home. I think they deserve, and have bloody well EARNED, our respect. If you don't think so, then fuck off to Canada.



I want to hold you close and tell you it's okay
But I know it's not and there's nothing I can say
Your mom's trying to explain to you
But she's just as upset as you too

She said I'm sorry baby
But the world's an ugly place
Full of hate and death and misery
I'll tell you when you're old enough to know
Why your dad won't be coming back home

Soldiers die and lovers lie
But it shouldn't have to be that way
A few mother's sons sent to run and fight
But we don't want to hear it's fate

She said I'm sorry baby
But the world's an ugly place
Full of hate and death and misery
I'll tell you when you're old enough to know
Why your dad won't be coming back home

There's much more at stake here
Than an ugly war we all love to hate
We lose the fathers, the brothers, the sons
All the others, all the men we can count on

In the end, even if you all win, we don't win

Untitled

Hon har akt. Kim har akt. Det gjorde mer ont an jag trodde det skulle gora att saga hej da till henne. Och hon sa att hon skulle sakna mig och det holl pa att brista for mig. Hon lovade att forsoka komma hem i en del iaf. Nat att vara tacksam for.

Otur

Han aker snart. Eller han aker pa typ mandag och blir borta i tva veckor. Vem tusan ska jag prata med i tva veckor? Ahhhh! Och nej Carro, jag ar inte kar :) Jag vet att han lamnar mig... och sen kommer jag lamna honom ocksa. Saaa, vi har den har veckan och tva veckor efter att han kommit hem igen. Sen kommer jag nog aldrig se honom mer. Det ar sa konstigt for innan jag kom hit sa tankte jag att om jag inte hade traffat nan under mina 4 forsta manader sa skulle jag vara ensam. Men det funkar inte riktigt sa. Jag gillar verkligen att vara med honom och han far mig att slappna av. Jag ar mer avslappnad med honom an vad jag ar med nan annan kille. Jaja, jag visste att det kunde bli sa har. Vad fan maste han vara army for!

Kim aker idag ocksa. Jag maste saga att jag ar faktiskt deprimerad. Hon kan do. Och... nej jag vet inte. Idag ar en jobbig dag bara. Hoppas att det gar battre imorgon!

Ha det bra!

Utmaning

Sarah har utmanat mig att berätta 6 underliga saker om mig själv!

1. Jag alskar jordnotssmor och crackers.
2. Jag tycker en army uniform kan gora nastan vem som helst hot.
3. Nar jag ar ute och gar pratar jag alltid med mig sjalv.

Jag utmanar: Ami och Lynn, eftersom det ar dom enda jag vet som inte har blivit tagen an.

REGLER:Varje spelare börjar med att skriva sex underliga/egendomliga saker om sig själv. Bloggare som blir "tagna" ska skriva sex saker om sig själv i sin blogg och samtidigt ange reglerna för spelet. Till slut väljer bloggaren sex nya bloggare och gör en lista av deras namn. Efter det är gjort skriver han eller hon en kommentar i deras bloggar för att låta dem veta att de har blivit "tagna" och att de ska läsa ens egen blogg för mer information

Some info you wish you didn't need

A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1) The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2) The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around specifically to cut clothing.

3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their purse, or doing other activities while walking because they are off-guard and can be easily overpowered.

4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between 5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m

5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is grocery store parking lots. Number two: is office parking lots/garages. Number three: is public restrooms.

6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to another location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.

7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.

8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9) These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.

10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevatoror stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: "I can't believe it is so cold out here," "we're in for a bad winter." Now you've seen their face and could identify them in a line-up; you lose appeal as a target.

11) If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell STOP or STAY BACK ! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes), yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

13) If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm (between the elbow and armpit) OR in the upper inner thigh VERY VERY HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands - the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it - it hurts.

14) After the initial hit, always GO for the GROIN. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble and he's out of there.

15) When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

16) Of course, the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts!!!You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you....chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.

B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a zigzag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP! It may get you raped or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well-educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her "Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door."The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it , but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby. This should be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

Another day in Paradise

Hmm, jaa, det har kanske paradiset. Eller om man vill bli fet som ett hus sa ar det paradiset. Jag vagde mig igar. Forsta gangen pa jag vet inte hur lange. Pa 13 manader har jag gatt upp 6 kg. 6 KG! Nu ar det andring pa det! Nu ar det verkligen andring pa det. Jag har alltid sagt forut att jag ska sluta ata kakor och sant, men nu ska jag verkligen sluta. For jag menar, jag motionerar apmycket, det ar ju det att jag ater heeelt fel, sa borjar jag ata mer ratt sa borde det ga nerat. Eller hur?

Nog om det, blir sa deprimerad bara! Pratade med Amelie igar och hon ar nere. Jag onskar att det fanns mer jag kunde saga gumman, men du kommer ta dig igenom det!

Lynn ar nere, Amelie ar nere, Adela ar nere, Buntarica ar nere, jag var elak i veckan. Undra om det ar tidpunkten pa aret som gor manniskor nere? Hata Mars!

Foresten sa forstod jag nu Carro vad du menade. Och jaa det var bra. Det andra var bara fjantigt. En annan sak som Carro och jag har diskuterat sa ar det Harrys snorre. Jag sager att den ar lite medioker, medan Carro sager att han ar valutrustad for att vara 17. Sa lange han vet hur han ska anvanda den klarar han sig nog fint, tror jag.

Idag ska jag aka till Adela i Pinehurst. Meningen ar ju att jag ska traffa Malin ocksa, men hon har inte hort av sig sa jag har inte en aning om var hon bor. Da blir det svart! Uppd. kommer om jag traffade henne eller inte.

Blir Philly i April ocksa. Jaaaa! Amelie och Adela och jag tillsammans. Vi kan inte ha trakigt!

Ha det bast!
