So my LJ is basically Friends Only completely now. I've decided to have it this way instead, at least for now. I might change it back in the future though. :)

But if you want to add me just let me know in the comments. I like meeting new people. ;)

My mom and her boyfriend will pick me up at around 6 am tomorrow morning. He's driving us to the station where we will take the train to Gothenburg, where we'll fly out. (With a stop-over in Munchen) I've been doing laundry and packing most of the day. Now I'm eating something before bed. I'm very happy to travel now. I love it and I really need to get away and have a good time. I will be updating my travel diary as usual and I'll link to it here again. I won't be updating LJ or Twitter while I'm there. Travel diary is enough. :)

If it's in Swedish when you access the link, there's a link at the top right of the site where you can switch to English. If for some reason my page won't turn up, you can search for travellers. My username is Serenity84.

I saw the complete season 4 gag reel from Supernatural today. (Which had the scene Jared mentioned to us at the coffee lounge where he can't do the scene with the snake. Heh) Good times! I love their gag reels. Then I've received e-mails that my season 3 dvd of Brothers & Sisters as well as season 4 dvd of Supernatural have been packed and shipped. It's not even September. But hey, I'm not complaining! Hopefully both dvd's will be waiting here for me when I come home. My dad is in charge of taking care of my mail while I'm away.

I sent in three job applications yesterday. And I messed up on one of them. Fudge. Two were done by snail mail and the third by e-mail. And the copy I sent via e-mail still had the reference number for another job. So I had to send a separate e-mail to them to tell them the application is for them but that said number just happened to get on there. :S Awesome.

Anyway, what's done is done. Italy, here I come!

Look! Bloopers!

Just for fun, if anyone wants to do it. (Not that there's anything to be envious about. ;))

the i-envy-this-about-you meme

I decided it was time to change my lj's layout because I'd had the other one for a long time. I went through every layout page before I chose this one. Yes, I'm picky. In other news; I'm feeling much better. I've been sleeping a lot so I'm well-rested. :) I've been planning the Italy trip and watching a lot of Hell's Kitchen. So three days in a row of doing basically nothing is pretty awesome. I'm back to work tomorrow and it's going to be fun. Only three workdays left until I'm done.

1. I used to have a stepsister
2. When I tried driving a car at 17, I hit a tree, which makes me scared to drive
3. I used to suffer from anxiety attacks

Can you guess which one is a lie?

Edit: I'll tell you the correct answer in the next post since I can't answer in the comments cause that way people will see it. :)

Yep, it's my 500:th post. I could say I can't believe it's been that many already. But I can. The way I ramble and the fact that I post so much, it doesn't surprise me. ;) But, I've had this LJ since November 2005 so it's still been almost 4 years. Hopefully there'll be many more posts and you guys will want to continue reading my ramblings. :D

Spent 12,5 hours at work today. My hips started hurting towards the end of the shift, for some reason. I might be in my mid 20's, but my body is screaming "97 years old!". How many people my age have hip pain? I'm old.

So, I decided to do something fun for my 500:th post. If it's fun for you, I don't know. ;) But Frida and I went to Vancouver with a couple of friends in August 2007 to look for Supernatural locations. We only posted the mini-documentary of our trip around Vancouver, but never any pictures on lj. So I'm just posting a few of some SPN sets we went to. We did find the current one (They were filming "Sin City" when we were there) but the boys had already left. It was still pretty cool. So this is a mix of pictures belonging to both Frida and me.

( Vancouver... )

Jessica approves. (I don't approve the amount of clothes in a big pile in the background. I cleaned yesterday. ;))

This video is making its way around the internet. I just saw it on perezhilton and thought it was excellent. Now this is how you get married. :)

Meme time again.

Leave me a comment with "Who we really are" in the subject line.
I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

paceyringwald  gave me these;

1) The super power that you'd like to have: I'd like the ability to fly. That'd be awesome.
2) Your favourite book that you can keep reading for over and over: The Harry Potter series. Those books never get old.
3) The music genre that you tend to listen: Hmm. I listen to a lot of alternative as well as some pop. But I really listen to all sorts of genres. It's difficult to mention just one that sticks out the most. :)
4) The first concert that you went: Backstreet Boys in 1998. I was a huge BsB fan so that was a big moment for me.
5) The things that you like about Jared. ;D: Do you have all day? What I like about Jared... That's a lot of stuff right there. I like how goofy he can be, how funny he is and that he's really nice and sweet. He seems to be a big heart. And that's a few of the things I like about him. ;)

So there you go!

My favorite current one is Olivia Benson on Law & Order Special Victims Unit. I really like her as a character and Mariska, who plays her. She's a very strong and independent woman and I always love female characters like that.

I'm updating in a minute with some pretty fun stuff. :)

There's no way he sees this, but anyway, Happy 27:th Birthday Jared!

To see what the world looks like outside my work place. Ha. Right now I'd say going to Liseberg with my family. That was great.

Speaking of work; I'm heading there in just a little while. Time to work the night shift.

Time to stop spamming your lj's. :D

paceyringwald ! I can't believe I've reached the 3000 mark. Thank you everyone for visiting my lj and giving lovely comments. :D

Here's a picture for you pacey, for being my 3000:th commenter :D;

I have such a soft spot for stuffed animals and teddybears. I still buy some occasionally. But I will never get rid of my big white bunny I got when I was 5 years old. It's sitting on my bed and I will always keep it in my bedroom. I really love it. Her name is Ninis, by the way. Ninis is a short nickname of endearment for Kanin, which means rabbit in Swedish. Named her that when I was 5. :)

Just got back from seeing the new Harry Potter movie. It was really great and had some really funny moments and sad ones. But I bet the 7:th one, part 1 and 2, will be even more awesome. There won't be any spoilers here. Just wanted to say I loved it! :)

Before that I met up with my friend Sophia who I hadn't seen in a while. We had a great time catching up and then headed towards the city centre where we went to some stores. I bought two books for the Italy trip. One about what you can do in Rome and one with phrases and words in Italian. I also bought some scrapbook stuff. (That really wasn't needed. I just wanted to.)

So, on to the tribute. Today I dedicate this post to Sophia who got engaged a few months ago and became an aunt to a baby girl called Minerva. (And yes, I had to make a joke about Minerva McGonagall from Harry Potter when I heard it.) Her fiancé had videotaped when he proposed to her, that I watched on his blog. It was sweet. :) Sophia didn't know he was going to propose. It was a complete surprise to her.

Sophia lived in Chicago for six months while she attended college, 3 years ago. Then she lived in Australia for a year. (Where she met Chris.) So I asked her about what she thinks about moving and living in another country for a while. Since I'm thinking about doing it for a summer or something while attending college. She said it's definitely an experience and that I should try it. She said it also made her appreciate how good things are back in Sweden. :) She's moving permanently to Australia, with Chris, soon. They're talking about New Years, but aren't sure yet. But she said she might move back to Sweden someday too. :)

Oh, and Happy birthday again to witchy78 !

It's been posted all over the place, including perezhilton.com. It's pretty awesome.

Came back from Gothenburg this morning after spending all day yesterday with Frida celebrating her birthday. We went to play mini golf, which she won :D, ate lunch together and then stopped to have milkshakes at Mc Donald's and stuff. It was some eating and drinking going on there. We went around the city looking in different stores and Frida shopping some stuff. We then went to buy some cheese and wine for Frida's party later that evening. We arrived home at her parents' place an hour before her guests would arrive, so we were in a bit of hurry cause she had to make a chocolate cake. Frida's close family and boyfriend, along with his family, were there. I had a really good time, like I always do though, when I'm with her family. :) We laughed until we cried at some of her dad's funny stories. ;) I gave her two dvd box sets; season 3 of Gilmore Girls and season 3 of Ghost Whisperer. I still have some gifts left to give her that wasn't finished in time, so she'll be getting them later. A couple of you guys on my f-list know what the secret presents are, so don't tell her! Cause she hasn't gotten them yet. *Looks at Lisa and Lonnie* ;) I know you won't though. Just wanted to give you a heads up that she doesn't know yet. You will get them soon enough though, Frida. :D

Speaking of the lovely Lisa xxtornxxapartxx . She gave me these 5 words from a meme that she associated with me. We did this not too long ago, but I'm a sucker for memes.

Reply to this meme by yelling - or typing - "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you. Or explain in the comments. Or not at all.
( Lisa's questions for me )

Today is kelbub 's birthday and I want to wish her a big happy birthday! I'm on my way to her soon to celebrate her.

Here's some nice pictures to celebrate the most awesome Frida who I'm very happy to call my best friend. :D

I had so much fun at work today. We went to a lake to have some barbeque. Thing is, it was some thunder (though far away) and the rain was basically hanging in the air. We had this grill you can only use once and we couldn't start the damn thing. There were some people on the beach, and even doing some swimming, despite the weather. And they looked over at us trying to start a damn fire. It took us, literally, an hour. S (not Sa) was really stubborn and insisted she would succeed. We tried to help her with opening up the grill a bit to throw in paper and stuff. Along with branches and parts of a paper bag. It just wouldn't start. I even screamed once because a burning piece of toilet paper came flying towards me. Ha ha ha. Then almost an hour later things did slowly start to happen and S was waving her arms like crazy to keep it from going out again. At the same time she was blowing air the entire time too. It looked so damn funny that I laughed and laughed and almost fell over. Tears were streaming down my face and my stomache was hurting like crazy. And when S is standing like that, a group of people that had been swimming, walked past us and looked at S wave her arms, so she looked up at them and said "You don't happen to have some lighter fluid with you?" The way she said it and when she kept doing that, I just lost it. I laughed until I almost keeled over. They just laughed as a response. She finally got it going after burning up all our paper, parts of a paper bag and some branches. And after I was almost attacked by a burning paper, burning my fingers and she burning hers. I had to wash my hands in the lake cause my fingers were black. But we all got our hot dogs. But it was hilarious. Started raining though, so I walked around with my jacket on my head cause I held my own umbrella over one of our kids. I looked like an idiot.

Now for some pictures from the themepark Liseberg we visited (dad, Jenny, Martin and me) this past weekend. These are the photos we bought from the rides Balder and Flumeride. Flumeride is a water ride and Balder is a wooden rollercoaster. And just so you know; in one of the photos from Balder, we always try to do something funny for the camera and I decided to pretend I was sleeping. But I couldn't keep a straight face, so it looked like I'm really enjoying the rollercoaster... :S My family and I laughed our asses off at that photo.

I've really started posting a lot lately. Hope you don't mind me spamming your f-lists every day. :D

So my question is; has anyone on my f-list ever been to Italy? I talked to a co-worker today about my trip there in August and she told me that Pompeji isn't very far from Rome and that we should go there. So, does anyone know the best way to get there and exactly how far away it is? Or a good site where you can check for transportation and stuff? Because I love history and culture and both me and my mom would love to see it. We just have to be able to get there. :P I did find out it's outside of Neapel (or Napoli). Would be pretty cool to see the volcano Vesuvius too.

That was more than one question though. :P
