Healthy mix
Well. The War on mentor sucked big time. He is worse than ever now.
More on that some other day.
My little sister found some neat tests.
I have no imagination these days, so this is me:
More on that some other day.
My little sister found some neat tests.
I have no imagination these days, so this is me:
Your Brain is 53% Female, 47% Male |
Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve |
You Are Smokin' Hot |
You're a terrible flirt, a sharp dresser, and a party animal. Of course, you're totally sizzling too. And for you, being hot just comes naturally. |
You Are 20 Years Old |
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. |

War on mentor.
Okay, I can't recall talking sabout my "mentor", my head teacher. He is like a copy of Michael Moore. He's American, short, roundish and does documentary films.
Swedes see him as very weird because of his booming american voice and his temper, but I am used to this since I have my roots in Cali. I did the mistake of not reacting to his outbursts, since I knew how to handle them. We were broadcasting "live TV" (we were acting as we were, but it was only taped) and I got the role as the picture producer.
"Em, you're incharge of the picture" he said.
"Err.. sure." I said, not knowing what I was supposed to do. And then He said action and we were rolling.
It sucked, of course. And I was looking around making sure everyone did their job. Of course, that meant I didn't do my job. I thought I was supposed to check white balance and exposure and then I was inished, but apparently I was supposed to have my eyes upon the screens at all time.
"EMELIE!! You didn't have your eyes on the screens!! What the fudge were you doing?? That was a sucky job!! Blah blah"
Now, any Swede would just stand there and try to explain with tears in their eyes and not understand half the words. They would be afraid and just curl up. I didn't do that. I just stood there, yes. But I listened to him, let him express his anger and then told him slowly:
"I am sorry Mr. But we haven't gone through what I was supposed to do. If you wuld have told me you wouldn't have to stress about this. Now, I will do a better job next time. shall we continue?"
He was shocked. And he nodded.
Alla eyes wer upon me and big in awe. At least let me put a little bit of drama into it.
But as I said, this was a big mistake. Since then I have been his punchbag. Every word I say will be turned against me. An example: He is our teacher in Media. That is the class where we discuss he effect media has and power. We learn how to get or message out. In the beginning of each class we talk about the news and what is happening in the world. I won't expose the name of my town, so I'll call it Littletown. It describes it perfectly.
M: "Yes, Emelie?"
E: "Well in Littletown we..."
M: "Okay, how many in here ive a rats ass about Littletown?"
Three people out of thirty raise their hands. My friends.
E: "Well, I DO!"
M: "Okay, so what is happening over there?"
E: "Well, there's a rumour that The next EU-meeting is going to be held there!"
M: "Oh, why is that? Because no terrorist will find the place?"
Laughter.
E: "Hey! Oh, and.. We're having a vote about were to put our elderhome!"
M: "Oh, you're going to go into retirement early?"
Well, you get the picture.
But irony is on my side. This little scene took place yesterday. And today the biggest news paper in Sweden had LITTLETOWN on THE FRONT PAGE. Oh, I love irony.
Plans are growing. Wish me luck to master my mentor once and for all !!

Politics
"Yeah, I would like to get into politics"
"Oh don't. You don't know how to lie"
That's how I got interested in writing, because then I don't have to lie. (Plus I know how to lie in writing) I always thought it was unfair saying politicians lied. Because I've always had this dream about leading Sweden with my politics, if they wanted me to. I didn't want to lie about anything. But know I realize why all these people reacted this way.
I'm only seventeen so I'm not allowed to vote but I have more information about the different political parties than alot of people who are entitled to vote. I walked to the different places were they give free stuff, like broshures and flyers. I was so amazed about how they write in these things.
"THE OTHERS want to do this, and that sucks because you will suffer"
Why not skip bashing the other parties and just let them be? Please don't use fear. Wanna know why? Look at the American news. That's why.
"We're gonna help you by doing this and this and we are going to give more money to this and this"
But they're not talking about how they're going to get that money. For years our Socialdemocrats have said they are going to get the school finances together and that they are the party for the underpriveledged. BUT THEY HAVEN'T.
I am born '89. If you live in Sweden and was born '87-'94 you are going to go through "hell". Because Sweden was not prepared for you. Classrooms have 40 students, old school books and the morale is aweful. Twelve year old girls are posting half-nude pictures of themselves to be accepted, because they were born in the baby boom, so noone sees them.
I still have the dream of getting into politics, but with my own party. I'm going to call it "Ärliga Pariet", meaning "The Honest Party". I'm going to let everyone know exactly what plans we have. If they don't want to follow us that means we're not supposed to rule Sweden.
Too bad no one else is supposed to either. They're all lying to get that position.

Culture
On Saturday I am going to see Snakes on a Plane. I might see the best movie ever made. It's got everything:
Violence,
Planes,
Snakes,
Thrill
and Samuel L. Motha Fuckin' Jackson.
I can't wait! Seriously. I've longed for this kind of thing. This fuck-you Hollywóod. I'm going to be laughing. Iäm going to be crying.
"We got BLEEP snakes on the BLEEP plane!"
This movie has reached Sweden. SWEDEN. Gosh. I'm psyched.
Oh, the soundtrack is the greatest. The catchiest song you've ever heard. With a great-looking blonde girl, a guy who looks like Johnny Depp, a "tough guy" and a cool reaggae/outkast guy. So everyone can enjoy it! It's frekkin amazing!
Of, the Johnny Depp look-alike is GORGEOUS. He is the singer of The Academy Is... They're great too.
Just thought you'd like to know.
