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.

My top 5 creative interests
- Number 5.
Architectures
Whether it is dollhouses, real houses or a house built in a videogame, I love architecture and truely enjoy staring at and/or designing houses, inside and outside.
- Number 4.
Drawing things on math-paper with little squares on it while pretending it's all pixel-art.
- Number 3.
Designing and sowing backpacks shaped like things in a cool way. This has actually been a secret of mine until now.
- Number 2.
Drawing various cartoons and strange figures or shapes with my pen/tablet on the computer.
- Number 1.
Writing. Short stories, poetry, lyrics, blogposts, you name it.
As an honourable mention, I will tell you that I actually quite enjoy music, and practice singing in my spare time. I don't think I'm very good, though, but I enjoy doing it.
My top 5 christmas-wishes
Number 5.
Jewelerry made out of lego-blocks
Number 4.
A giftcard to H&M or Zizzi. H&M's mommy-department has cute clothes that fit my fat belly perfectly, and Zizzi is the only shop I have found with jeans that actually fit me AND match my clothes.
Number 3.
Anything from Thinkgeek.com not 'Star Trek'-related. (Star Trek is a mockery of science and will not be allowed in my dwelling!)
Number 2.
A Dinosaur-shaped teacup/coffee-mug.
Number 1.
Knit things from my mom, like a long hat with animal characteristics or mittens.Her socks are the best, too.
My top 5 things to do during the weekend
You know, I come from a small town where gossip thrives like a fox in a henhouse, and the "one feather makes 5 hens"-rule has caused me to receive accusations of illegal habits over the years. Therefore, I have to be extremely careful with what I post on blogs everybody can access as people tend to over-interpret what I write due to rumours (and create more!).
Therefore, to avoid all confusion, and stress the point that I am not hiding any hints in here, this is my top 5 list of my favourite (legal) things to do during the weekend!
Number 5.
Cleaning my flat. I am usually too busy/lazy to clean during the weekdays, and I tend to stress myself out over the fact that my flat sometimes gets too messy or smelly to bring anyone home to. I have friends, you know!
Therefore, I take great pleasure of rewarding myself by cleaning my flat, so I'll have a worry-free weekend.
Number 4.
Take a shower. I'm ashamed to say it, but I sometimes forget to shower for days. On fridays, I usually go straight to a park with some classmates after school and have some beers. Since alcohol gives make me thurst for nicotine like a vampire for Sookie Stackhouse's blood, I usually end up smoking a lot of cigarettes although I don't smoke at all whe I'm sober. Therefore, my clothes and hair usually stink, and I take great pleasure in starting my saturdays with a nice, long, cleansing shower.
Number 3.
Sleep until 10. If I sleep later than 10, I'll have trouble falling asleep, but if since I want to have at least 8 hours a sleep at night, and usually go to bed around 1.Am on fridays, I like to reward myself with a little extra sleep to give myself a nice day off.
Number 2.
Wearing nothing but my pyjamas and my fluffy, pink robe all saturday long. Hey, I'm a girl, That means it's not weird that it's all pink! That robe is darn comfortable, and I like being able to wear what I WANT, not what I NEED for once.
Number 1.
Buying freshly new editions of my favourite science-magazines 'Wired' and 'Illustrated Science' and just sit on my bed (in my pink, fluffy robe) and read them. Science makes me happy, and 'Wired' is a quirky science magazine with a really positive energy and amazing articles.
Sorry to disappoint you guys, I'm just a regular dork :)
My top 5 favourite colours to hear
I have a faint crossing in the part of the nerve-center that gets signals from my senses, causing me to perceive all senses (as well as words, lettesr and numbers) in colours. This is called syneasthesia, and it freaking rocks!
So, here it is; my list of the five most beautiful colours I see when I hear things:
- Number 5
Running water a.k.a. "A cascade of light purple, a blue-ish grey, and a running smoothness".
- Number 4
The rattling of birch-leaves in a soft breeze, a.k.a. "an opaque, flowing white with gold, shiny spots peeping out".
- Number 3
The soft whisper of an electric fan a.k.a. "A white, fluffy and feathery sensation, often causing me to fall asleep.
- Number 2
The purr of a kitten a.k.a. "A dark background with big spots, alternating between red and dark blue, sometimes golden lined"
- Number 1
White noise a.k.a. "The inside of a large, loose-density cloud, carrying me away, often causing me to drift away or fall asleep"
My top 5 favourite smells
5. The inside of a plum.
4. Babies.
3. The crisp autumn air.
2. Pancakes
1. The smell of the outside of a wooden house, painted dark brown, having been heated in the sun all day. Aaah, childhood memories.
