Sometimes I'm in a great mood, and I want to feel even better. Or, I'm not in such a great mood and wanting to change that.
These are the songs I like to listen to:
(Do yourselves a favour and listen to them with headphones to make sure you get all of the nuances.)
Number 5 - Jean Jacques Perrey - 'Schwing'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urfaO5ZmMMQ)
'Schwing' is made on a moog, an old electronic instrument they used in the 80's to make funky electro music.
Number 4 - DJ Sasha - 'Magnetic North'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrD_42qodoQ)
This is a wordless trance-piece that is I feel is deep, relaxing and rhythmic. It makes me
feel like I am on a train, driving through space and the ocean.
Number 3 - Lemon Jelly - 'Space walk'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVCB3qpplLk)
This piece is so calm (despite its rough start), and it fills me with positive energy. I feel as if I'm just drifting off into space, leaving all my worries behind. It always leaves me with a big smile on my face. :)
(... Just don't try and read the history about the astronaut whose voice they used, it will kill your good mood)
Number 2 - Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't worry, be happy'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU&ob=av3e)
Such an inspirational song. The lyrics are so uplifting, and reminds me to just forget about my troubles and relax. Oh, and also, Robin Williams, the comedian is in the video!
Number 1 - New Radicals - 'You get what you give'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7-CKirWZE&ob=av2e)
My most favourite song of all time. I remember hearing it several times during the end of the 90's and the beginning of 00's in the radio, but I never figured out who made it. Then, in 2009, I downloaded the soundtrack to the entire 5 first season of Scrubs, and another song by New Radicals was on there. I searched for them on youtube, and this song came up. 2 years later, I'm a hardcore fan of all of Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois's work. This song is so energetic and uplifting, and it makes me feel awesome each time. And the bass is so cool!

My top 5 favourite runnnig gags in 'Family Guy'
Number 5 - Cleveland.
Cleveland in himself is just one big running gag, and he takes part in most of the other ones. Like when he says "Oh no!" or his house is blown up by peter and he goes "no no no no NO!" while he slides down in his bathtub.
Number 4 - 'That guy who likes everything'.
He is also just one big running gag. I just love the way he talks!
Number 3 - When peter hurts his knee.
A running gag in the 'Family guy' series is when someone falls and hurts their knee, and then grab it repeatedly.
It started when peter fell and hit his knee, and kept grabbing it while going "Hh-aaaaaarh..." over and over again.
Number 2 - When stewie does somethnig gay.
Seth MacFarlane said they made Stewie's sexually undefined on purpose, and I just love it when Stewie does or says gay stuff. He is so adorable!
Number 1 - When Peter does 'Surfin bird'.
He actually does it in several episodes, and it just cracks me up every time!
Family Guy is awesome!
Honourable mention: Conzuela.
She is so funny!

My top 5 favourite flavours of ice-cream
Number 5 - Caramel
Chocolatey goodness *drool*
Number 4 - Red Berries
Anything that has anything to do with blackberries or raspberries
Number 3 - Pistachio
Tastes like a lovely mixture between marzipan and play-dough.
Number 2 - Vanilla
It might be too regular, but I tend to like the unsoiled flavour of pure vanilla icecream.
Number 1 - Cookie dough
Hey, it's a real thing! It's from Ben & Jerry's, the company that makes the best darn icecream in the entire world! It's vanilly icecream with chunks of cookie-dough in it!
Needless to say, I was very disappointed to find out the icecream in itself was not, in fact, cookie dough flavoured, but it is still my favourite icecream.

My top 5 strange criterias for a partner
When I look at someone as a potential partner, they need to pass some criteria.
Some are obvious, like good hygiene and great communication-skills, but others are just plain strange.
Most of these involves the need for common interests, but as you might already know; my interests are pretty strange.
Number 5 - Has to understand why I think the music I like is great
I see good taste in music as a sign of intelligence, and I am just arrogant and aware of my intelligence enough to consider my taste strange, but good. I have the ability to see the skill and talent in what I think is good music, and I need my potential partner to be able to do the same. This might also be why I have a thing for musiscians, but who knows.
Number 4 - Has to like science
I like science. I LOVE science. A potential partner doesn't have to be good at it, but he/she/they need to be able to appreciate science as much as I do.
Number 3 - Has to like Pokèmon
As I explained in my previous blog post, I quite enjoy pokèmon for many reasons.
If my partner can't understand why I enjoy Pokèmon... Well, then there's a fundamental conflict of interest.
Number 2 - Dental hygiene.
Yeah, something that attracts me a lot to a person is the teeth. The position of the teeth, how they shape the mouth, everything about it. Good dental hygiene and great teeth are a sign of health and good genes, which also appeals to the instincts of the human race. I just can't bring myself to kiss nor date someone who doesn't even care about something as important as their teeth.
Number 1 - Has to like Star Wars and understand why it beats Star Trek in every way.
Star Wars is freaking great. Star Trek is lame. This is why.
I have met people who have not even HEARD about Star Wars, and it has made me want to kick them in the shin.
Granted, the last two movies were horrible, and don't get me started on "Lego Star Wars", but the old movies are a gem! A treasure! And did you know George Lucas had written more scripts, but as he saw how Hollywood, greedy for profits, butchered the newer films, he decided it wasn't worth it.
Oh, and when it comes to Star Trek... That show is so boring! The aliens are just humans with extra foreheads or monobrows, and their pseudo-science is boring and confusing. Besides, their weapons are totally lame compared to lightsabers, and they don't even have telekinetic powers like the Jedies!
I like plausible Sci-fi, and though Star Wars isn't that more plausible than Star Trek, it still has more... Realism behind it, more... Depth.

My top 5 things to do when I'm bored
Don't you all have those days where everything is boring?
You come home from a boring job or lecture, and nothing is interesting. You have watched all the episodes of all the shows, and nothing is happening on facebook.
Nobody interesting is online, and you can't fall asleep, so taking a nap to pass the time is out of the question.
You are even out of beer (or whatever you people ingest to pass the time.)
What do I do to make things interesting?
Here are my top fives:
Number 5 - Clean my room.
I'm sorry, I know I've mentioned this before, but I like to pass my time by cleaning my room.
Number 4 - Practice singing.
This is also one I have mentioned before.
Number 3 - Creative writing.
Yeah, I write stories, poems, lyrics, articles, you name it.
I'm a member of a forum for just those things, and I'm loving it there.
The adress is http://www.writeforums.com check it out!
I also love drawing, in all sorts of ways. Sometimes I do it on the computer, sometimes on squared mathpaper to make it look like pixels, sometimes I draw cartoon characters or cartoons, or I just practice proportions or shading.
Number 2 - Practice cooking.
Being the nerd that I am, I like to use my knowledge of basic chemistry to make great and nutritious food.
I love teaching myself how to cook things in a tasty way, and I love getting to eat the food afterwards.
Number 1 - Listen to music.
Due my to afforementioned synaesthesia, I go on great journeys when I close my eyes and listen to music.
I see colours and shapes based on the music I hear, and when I listen to the album "Airdrawndagger", I see all sorts of things, most of which having to do with a train driving through space and oceans.
Honourable mention: Blowing smoke-rings.
I don't usually parttake of the deadly nicotine, but if I get bored enough, I like to enjoy the perk of a nicotine-rush. Blowing smoke-rings is a fun skill to try to perfect, and if I'm going to take away 7 years of my life, I might as well do it with style.
Maybe I should start crafting objects to make soap-bubbles out of instead...

My top 5 favourite things from the 90's
The 90's were pretty great, and I wish I had been older and able to enjoy more of it.
Number 5 - The pants.
I liked that the pants had a little schwang, you know, they waved when you walked and didn't make you look like you had a giant butt and chopsticks for legs?
Number 4 - The music.
The music of the 90's was happy and upbeat, and despite there being produced a huge amount of "swears-they're-not-gay"-boybands, the music of the 90's had a major lift in quality compared to the 80's, at least in the more... Happy genres of music.
Most of the music I listen to today was produced and/or written during the 90's, and I prefer it to much of today's music.
The 90's were more pure, less... Commercialized.
Number 3 - Romantic comedy.
The 90's have all the best romantical comedies, featuring the good actors like Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts. For a girl like me, there is nothing that gets you over a breakup better than a big bucket of Ben & Jerry's and a stack of 90's romantic comedies.
After a few films, there would be no tears left, and I'd drift off into a peaceful sleep.
Besides, the movies were much more realistic back then, and they weren't as retardedly stupid like todays "comedies".
Number 2 - Friends.
Not as in "my friends", I didn't really have that many... I'm talking about the TV-show!
That show was a big part of my childhood and teenage years, and I am almost done rewatching the entire show! Now that I'm older, I'm able to understand it so much better, and it gives me hope.
Besides, I love their hair in the first seasons, and the clothes. The 90's were a schwag decade!
Number 1 - Pokèmon.
A game that teaches you classification, breeding, training, morals, stimulates your brain and has enough plot to keep you interested and encourage a smooth progress in the game?
Too good to be true? Then you, my friend, have never heard of Pokèmon!
Despite the fact that I can never remember how to spell it right, it was a HUGE influence on my childhood and early adulthood, and I still play tons of the game.
I'm studying to be a zookeeper, and I find it really funny how realistic the different factors of pokèmon have become. I love it, and I feel it keeps my brain alive during periods of... Low stimuli from, say... The lack of interesting classes.
I also watched the cartoon/anime/whocares a lot when I was a kid, and it caused me and my friend to get up at 7 in the morning each morning in the weekends to make sure we didn't miss it.
The card-game is interesting, and reminds me a lot of the "Magic"-cards, and oh my god, I just realised what a dork I am.
Okay, time to stop typing now.
