Wow, there is a serious lack of new posts on this page, which is something I really should try to do something about. When I have the time. Right now, I'm busy sewing... there's a LARP next week and I need to put the finishing touch to a pair of goggles, a gas mask and a long, brown coat. Afterwards, I'll have some chocolate. When I've finished ( Read more... )

2012

However shall I begin writing about the year of 2012? It seems as if this year has gone on forever and ever. Nowadays, it feels as if years move quickly by, but not this year. Looking back at the twelve months of 2012, I realise that I wasn’t prepared for what it would bring - and at the same time, I have been preparing for this year the last ( Read more... )

I know the year isn't over, but I guess this is as good as it gets, as the world possibly ends tomorrow...
How did they year turn out? Did I accomplish any of that stuff I promised to accomplish?
Here you go: The failures and successes of Saga.

- Graduate (the scary moment has come).

I kind of managed to do this! My essay and all my courses are ( Read more... )

~ An ordinary (?!) day in the life of Saga ~

8 a.m.
I phone the Headmaster of Fornby Folk High School in Falun (FALUN?!), and tell him that I'll gladly accept the job he's offered me as a teacher. Plans are made. I get all dizzy. The scariness! :O

9-11 a.m.
Meeting with the Faculty Board. The Dean thinks the most important of today's messages is the ( Read more... )

Life.
Been thinking a lot about it lately.

Isn't it ironic? You spend your days living, yet never actually pausing to consider what actually happens to you, or what it feels like. Maybe that's just me. I find myself experiencing a lot of things, but they don't seem to blow my mind like they used to. "Going through the motions" is what Buffy would've ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I was at the University Building, the official and very sombre-looking lecture hall of the city of Uppsala... but not to go to a lecture! Oh no, I was there to hear the Royal Academic Orchestra perform... wait for it... video game music!

THEY PLAYED THE TUNES OF LEGEND OF ZELDA: WIND WAKER! Imagine, like, fifty really good musicians - ( Read more... )

Meep, I really should write more often. But now it's Monday, so traditionally I shall now try to improve last week's mistakes (not writing) and, just in advance, repair the rest of the week's preemptive mistakes (not writing).

I have written!

...hrrrm, I guess I should try to write something meaningful. The Gamers' Guild is alive and kicking - we ( Read more... )

Ooooooh my.
      The last two weekends have been crazy, and I've spent them both sleeping on the floor in other towns. The weekend before last, the Gamers Guild went to a small place called Smedjebacken, a couple of hours away from Uppsala and home of one of our members' parents, to have a conference.
      Well, when I say conference, I don't ( Read more... )

New Year's Resolutions

Gundamwingit if I shouldn't be able to accomplish some things this year. And thus I thought, if I publish some resolutions on LJ, I should feel more motivated to keep them...

Keywords of 2012:
- Creativity.
- Spirituality.
- Pathfinding.
- Fellowship.
- Realisation.

This year's horrendously big goals:
- Graduate (the scary moment has ( Read more... )

How was the year of 2011? It all began with a skiing trip to Norway. I was convinced I'd die, and I didn't, so I'd say that the start of the year couldn't have been better.

It continued with a cold and icy spring. My second cousin (Albert's cousin) got married. We were late to church so I had no time to put on shoes. Church floors are FUDGING COLD. ( Read more... )
