mixed stuff and what the heck?
I started feeling sick some days ago, but I decided to drive the illness out of my system by training like a maniac. which I did. both in our own training and with the women's team. and it worked out splendid!
so right now I guess I'm preparing to go to Impact this weekend, meeting some sweet people, talking about sweet stuff, and then going straight back home to gather up some old favorites.
anywho, you'll hear more about it when I actually feel like writing this shit down.
oh, and I'm missing out on a great opportunity to play a game of volleyball with the women's team on saturday.
pissed.
reminders and awesomeness
the movie night was all set up, and I had bought tons of things for us to eat, counting on us to be about ten. we were six, but that's not too far off! It was time to pick up the first people from the bus, and despite myself I was a bit nervous. It was such a long time since I last set up a movie night, and I'd nearly forgotten how to. it all went splendid after all, and now I finally started to clear my floor from the mattresses.
I look at them and I freeze. how long has it really been since the people I love lay sleeping soundly between those covers? it seems like a huge vast wasteland of time that we may never cross again. I remember almost all of our nights together, when we'd disrupt the entire house with our laughs and cries and movies. I miss the smell of sleep laying like a haze over the heap of blankets and people, I miss the feeling of lying between people so close that I could faintly hear their hearts. I always slept best those nights.
but we never really do that anymore, and it sadden me.
are we growing up?
three weeks of memories and change
at night, I can still hear that shower running. I can feel the hard mattress and the thin wierd pillow wrapped around my head. My nostrils fool me that they feel the scent of chocolate and nuts and tea and rain in the sun. I trick myself to hear the laughs, the cries and the soft murmurs of people at night in conversation by the lights in the street. I hear the slamming of doors, and the echoes of footsteps in the stone staircase. I feel the wind under the bridge, hear the clinks of bottles, curse over blisters that I realize a second later I don't have anymore.
and somewhere in the midst of all that, I miss you. I miss you so damn much.
Tales of Thursdays and heavy work
the street was cold, my legs were frozen and the chord to my earphones had gone stale from the chilling wind. It was half past ten in the night, and I was standing outside of Platå, waiting for Frida who had convinced me to go out on a thursday night. I felt, for the first time in my life, like one of those girls who goes out drinking without knowing what they're doing, without telling their parents, but knowing that the night will be special and mysterious. yea right, okay so skipping that crap, Frida came out to meet me and we both went in to the club. She introduced me to Linnea whom I already knew and Madde who would turn out to be a real amazing girl and danser.
drinks were bought and alcohol was drained, as were all the thoughts about the book I have to make a report on. seriously, fuck that book, it's awesome but.. no.
the music was loud, the drinks were good, and the dancefloor was packed with people and full of life. we were in there, right in the middle, drifitng here and there, and in that thriving pulsing crowd there are suddenly hands on my hips and lips on my lips, and whythefuckshouldIcare and he's touching me and he's not looking too bad either. I save him, leave him on the dansefloor becuase nooneshouldbewithme and the four of us girls hit the road with burning cheeks and wobbling legs and hearts full of laughter and those frizzy bubbles you have in soda.
on our way home we get distracted by three young men whom we talk with for a while and find out that they're actually not assholes shameonmeformyprejudices and we hang out with them in their apartment for half an hour. we watch youtube, talk about cool stuff and listen to music. Linnea eats some noodles and we have some salty pretzels, and half past four we head towards Frida's house. taxi and streetlights and Resorb and a movie makes the eyelids drop, and before I know it I'm asleep. I didn't even watch the start of the movie.
we wake up after barely two hour's sleep, eat a little breakfast (Fruit rocks!) and I get to take a clementine with me to school. I stop by at McDonald's and get myself a coffee and toast, and then I ride the bus in the early morning light. it feels amazing to be alive and wake at those kind of hours.
I was slightly hungover, but we had art, and I could actually take some time waking up for real. I ate my clementine after lunch, and it was all I ever wanted; christmas and daycare and sour sweetness.
after school I was going to read the book that I neglected on Thursday, but my eyes dropped and I slept on the red sofa in the back of the school until father came and got me home. and when I came home I read Brokeback Mountain instead and wept.
skipping insanity, going straight to business
I woke up in an extremely cold room, realizing the heat doesn't reach my room in autumn. and Saturday. aka, game time! (I will tell you shortly about my insane thursday later) frost was coating everything outside, giving it a fariyteale-like shimmer as I sat in the dining room with my tea and my toast. Read a bit from Jonathan Livingston Seagull to pass time, and then we were off to Folkunga.
The game was at home, and I felt that we had pretty nice chanses of winning. Sollentuna were late, so we had enough time to get calm and collected and set on our goal, but somehow, somewhere, we didn't perform too well. we lost three sets in a row and that was that. we played both good and bad, but I guess Sollentuna just were better. It was quite a strange game, to cite Frida Ryman's words. We did manage to get some points on them though, so next time we see them, we're going to give them our best! it that aint going to be too bad either.
Sabina; about to crush some bitches
lemonade
long weekends and short games
woke up on the floor of Tom's home, ate some breakfast (DELICIOUS YOGHURT) and then Tom gave me a ride to the station where I took the tran home. it was a beautiful golden morning. got home and changed my clothes before going to work, yadayada, and arrived at Ellen Keyes at two o'clock. to make a long story short, we went and had pizza, and that was basically it. I LOVE MY JOB. the best part about it though is the fact that they asked me if I could keep working with them. GET REAL! They actually asked me, not the other way around! It made me so so so happy that they want me to stay with them so bad that they're actually going to ask their management if they can keep me. OH JOY! more updates on this will follow soon.
let's cut to the chase of this post. today was The Day. It was sunday and finally time for Team Valla to enter the women's 2nd division league. We went there with all we had, but regrettably it still wasn't enough. we were really prepared, but for some reason we kept stressing and spacing out, always being one step behind the play. we lost a great deal on short balls, and it was a mystery how we could miss those. because they just kept coming, without variation. but we will learn from this. we will not alllow a team of old hags to make fun of us, and on saturday we will bring everything we have got and CRUSH! we will be on top of the world and on top of the game, definitely!
so come and cheer on us the 16th in Folkungahallen, it's going to be worth it.
Love
another fulfilling day
right.
so, to actually make this an update and not just a random post with a picture of my ghastly face, I will reveal one of my most secret secrets...
or, rather, slap in your face THIS PICTURE!
yeah a nose piercing! I am actually thinking this over seriously- for the second time. I don't know why I rejected this idea before, it must've been when I was too pretty for a thing like this. now it simply makes my face interesting again (ooh, hars words! lucky they're coming from me and not some bitch with beach blonde hair, sorry, extensions.)
to summarize this day: AWESOME. I finally got to sleep long, Mom and I can take longer and longer strolls with Fia, I hade porridge for breakfast (EPIC) and I just watched a hell of a lot of tutorials from amateurs on how to straighten/curl/frizz/style my hair. not that I intend to use any of them, but there is something about the way they talk and look in the mirror and really concentrate that gives the same feeling as someone scratching your back. it's just really comfy. (freeaak)

bad news and good news go hand in hand.
so, getting that off of my mind, I am fully set on the weekend! tomorrow will be my sleep/do nothing day, friday will be work and party with the heart-warmers, and saturday will be work. again. but I am such a lucky bastard, because my times got changed. so Friday will be work between 10 and 16, and saturday will be from 14 to 19, which enables me to sleep some shit off and actually wake up before going to work! SCORE! my life rocks, and yor sucks.
not really though.
soon there will be... what?
speaking of girls, i can't wait until friday and when this long weekend starts. thursday till sunday, here I come! no, seriously, friday and saturday are going to be like, work, party, work. and sunday will be...
dundundunduuuuuun! GAMETIME! score! playing opposite (right-side) will be yours truly, and I hope you hold your thumbs for us!
now, off to bed to fight with Capten Sleep!
training horses and what happens afterwards
I'm very excited for tomorrow, for different reasons. first of all, it's the cinnamon buns' day, which means that our mentor time is going to be filled up with awesomeness. second, there will be speeches about different things in English C, and I am slightly unprepared, which makes it even more of a challenge. ehm, not really, I'm actually going to study the article I'm having my speech about like a ranchor between classes. That is, if ranchoors study, I don't know, you tell me! third, there will only be one word; TRAINING. oh yes, I will get up there and smash those sets into the face of reality. yeah, I'm so full of myself I'm beginning to fear that my crown won't fit when my head becomes bigger.
anywho, the weekend has been great, I partied with my work (oh god I love people in wheelchairs) and had a movie-night with KE on a whim of ours. I also bought yoghurt that tastes like applepie (KING!) and I helped mom with Fia again, which is making me nostalgic for the times when I still owned a horse.
wish me luck on sleeping, I will see you tomorrow.
the first october
I arrived at Filbyter square just in time to see my teachers bring in heaps of the junk we were going to biuld a statue out of. yes, you heard me correctly, art lesson was scheduled to the square, and the subject was: build a statue for City Art Link.
okay, so first of all, it was cold. but that didn't stop us from having fun and making the teacher parcticants do some hard wotk as well. ah, good times! after we had put all our stuff up (which was pretty hard some of it) we had mudcake (score!!) and ate lunch in town. aah goodie goodie.
at half past one we were back in school, and it was time for English C, and I got my essay back.I have one word for you guys. ouch. G plus is not ookay, even though I was sick during the preparatory discussion and had no clue as to us not being allowed to use our notes.
then again, that just increases my will to study harder, mouahahahaaa! so you better cheer me on..
after school I spent some time with Rasmus, which was very appreciated since I haven't really talked to him in a while. we made pasta with some cheese and tomato stuff which was, incredibly enough, deliscious! I cleaned his kitchen area (you will thank me when you don't get sick from using it!) and we watched family guy. sweet life.
Friday came to an end, and I took the bus and train home, longing for a car of my own as I stared at the stars and tried to make smoke-rings with my breath.
