I'm trying to read a weeks worth of lj-posts from my friends here, but it's going to take me a few days. To be completely honest, it's the only thing I want to be doing right now, but since I'm leaving for a larp in 1 hour, still haven't packed, showered or dressed (or eaten) I guess I'll be leaving you guys again. The larp will be awesome, I hope. I'm playing Briar Rose from the comic Fables.

Edit: I did it! I am now up to date on everything posted here the last week. (Still didn't have time to comment though, but what can you do?

I just realized I now know all my credit card information by heart and no longer have the stopping power of actually having to leave my computer and finding it before shopping stuff from Amazon.com. This is now so dreadfully easy I might be poor forever. Also, I got another credit card when I went to the US this fall, so now I have the added possibility of spending 10 000kr I haven't even earned. Today, this resulted in a beautiful set of jewelry that I desperately wanted, and an eye soothing creme that I really need but is ~~way, way~~ too expensive (and a new mascara, a second set of earrings, hair spray and sushi). I now officially have no money. Luckily, I have leftovers in the fridge and the champagne for New Year's eve. So I should be good.

In other news, I'm officially done with being the clumsy one. Today, I fell flat on my face, twisted my ankle and seriously bruised both knees and palms walking to the local store. Then, I spilled a giant mug full of coffee on my couch, floor, self, and friend. I topped it off by nearly dropping my computer on the floor about 4 times. Seriously guys, did I piss someone off? 'Cause if I did, I'd like you to tell me. Sitting there, jinxing me from the other side of the world is just cruel, you know. I'm sure I could make it up to you, whoever you are, if you just give me a chance. I don't want to hurt myself and others anymore!

I'm done for the year. All books are put back in their shelves, all the exams are handed in and passed (quite well, actually), all Christmas presents are bought and soon my bags will be packed to go home to Holmestrand for Christmas. Only trouble is, my flatmate has the key to the mailbox and I'm waiting for the last Christmas-present to come in the mail. Also, he has the key to the basement where my bags are. So I'm stuck here, waiting for him to get home.

And speaking of mail, I just got the most amazing Christmas present in the mail the other day.

chesire_monkey, you are absolutely amazing! I cannot believe you did that! *huggles you*

And thank you so much for the Spike figure

abigor60. So cool. Both Spikey and the picture of the three of us at the California state fair is up in the book shelve outlooking my living room.

Again, thank you both so much! It was way too much! (You should have let me know so I could have sent you more than a couple of CD's and a card.) Merry Christmas!

And what do I do when I have to wait? I do meme's!

My last exam is nearing it's end, and as I've told some of you, and discreetly hinted to others, the people upstairs have started listening to techno music 24/7. Just loudly enough that you hear the bass, not loudly enough that you can hear what it is. So now my apartment resonates with their music all day, every day. In addition, lately, they've started yelling over the music instead of turning it down to talk, so I can make out 3 separate voices, but not what they're saying. I also suspect they have mastered the art of sleep deprivation to a hitherto unknown degree since they were having a heated argument (possibly, or you know, maybe they're just really loud) yesterday, at 1 a.m., when I was trying to sleep, and still was up playing more music today before I got up at 9. This is driving me insane! But, I've so far had about 5 parties where I forgot to give notice to my neighbours, and thus, complaining about these guys might open me up for attack. I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do!

2) Open the book to page 123.
3) Find the fifth sentence.
4) Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5) Tag five people.

Maxine Berg and Pat Hudson have argued that most accounts of innovation in the industrial revolution in effect focus on process change, on innovation in capital goods. Berg has stressed the importance of a relatively unexamined part of innovation at that time, namely product innovation in consumer goods, especially in products that can be considered luxury goods. Thus was a key demand-side factor shaping innovation in Britain, and gave rise to major industries. Some of the evidence for this will be outlined below.

We went out and celebrated Eivind's birthday yesterday, and it was a smashing party to tell you the truth. I was home at 10 o'clock this morning, and the balloons are still hanging on the walls. Today I've done almost nothing of importance and it's been all good.

The construction work outside my bedroom window has started, the weather is bleak and I'm awake. In 15 minutes I'm going to start organizing my life and reading. Babyshambles on the stereo and I'm drinking coffee, trying to relearn how to focus while I wait for the sand in my eyes to disappear.

I overslept again...good side: I sleep really well these days and wake up rested and have awesome dreams. Downside: I don't feel like going to school when I won't be there before 12. Oh well, I can study from home today. Tomorrow I actually have a meeting at 9. Will probably manage to get me up...

In other news, I've just started a new rpg campaign with

You are a rare phenomenon. You are the expensive show with a healthy cult appeal that still somehow managed to be a ratings smash. You are living proof that sometimes, all the planets can align in the right order. Although FOX would prefer something cheaper to produce, they're more than willing to make the investment for the returns you offer and the inevitable impending cash flow from your merchandise. You live a full life of nine seasons and retire confidently, knowing that you have secured a high place in the history of television.

You're Dean! You're like those M&Ms you love so much -- hard candy shell on the outside, soft chocolate center on the inside. You're a huge flirt, and quite proud of it, even though you'd rather chew off your own arm than talk about your real feelings. You kick ass and you're smart, but without any special powers or a silly college education -- all your kickass is purely your own, baby.

I'm soon to be going home. Sad, since my last two weeks here in the US have been absolutely amazing. Good, because I think this school year is going to be really exciting. I've decided to try and live off the student loan alone when I get home. It'll be tight, but I will have a lot of time to catch up with all the schoolwork I haven't been doing while here in the US. I think it'll be good.

In other news, I think there's a couple of months since I've had the pleasure of doing one of these meme's and posting the results here. ( interesting, neh? )

So, I had an awesome weekend. On Friday, I went to a meeting after work, and then watched obscene amounts of HIMYM with [Bad username or site: ”akselwestlund” @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: ”mirazandar” @ livejournal.com] Then, on Saturday, my combined going away party and birthday party was a blast! Due to [Bad username or site: ”aj_stalin” @ livejournal.com]s unfortunate incident with a midget, we had to do it in my small apartment, and it was packed, but hey, who needs more than 1m3 anyways? Everyone got inside the door, and we mingled and talked, and listened to great music, and drank obscene amounts of alcohol and were generally awesome. I haven’t felt as sexy in a good long while and I got lots of pressies! Plus, people I haven’t met for a year showed up! Oh, it was so great!

Sunday was spent basically cleaning the apartment (or, at least taking out the trash and empty bottles), and watching Weeds and Memento. Memento, kinda obvious, but good movie. Weeds I’ve seen before but it’s still nice. I gave into my craving and ordered a pizza from Spice. It was good, and it came with a pizza roller so now we don’t have to cut our own pizzas with knives anymore, but it just isn’t the same as the Peppe’s Pizzas I’m sad to admit. Anyways it was nummy, and I didn’t eat it all, so I still feel like a good person.

There is NOTHING that can't be made cooler with the word "zombie" in front of it.

In order to test this theory, it is vitally important that you, the WPWHQ readership, do the following.

1) Count back 10 entries in your journal.

2) Take the 5th sentence

3) Insert the word "zombie" into the sentence

4) Post it as a comment here.

5) OPTIONAL: Repost this meme in your own journal

My result was: Instead, I have to, while they wait outside for me to come get them, enter the zombies they’re visiting’s calendars and find the meeting room they’ve reserved (if they’ve bothered to reserve one at all).

Did I mention that the air conditioning at my work has stopped functioning and won't come back on for another two weeks? Meanwhile I'm sitting here in the blistering heat, dreaming of being able to either get completely naked in the hope that that would cool me down, or be able to go outside where I'd at least feel the mild breeze I've failed to lure into my office. It's suddenly summer, and I'm dying from heat.

Your Score: Chaotic-Neutral

60% Good, 62% Chaotic

Plane of Existence: Limbo, "Plane of Ever-Changing Chaos". Description: An alien, anarchistic and unpredictable plane. Notable Inhabitants: Githzerai - human-like monks; Slaad - frog-like creatures.

Examples of Chaotic-Neutrals (Ethically Chaotic, Morally Neutral)

Barret Wallace (FFVII)
Yuffie Kisaragi (FFVII)
Tyler Durden
Dr. Frankenstein
Doctor Moreau
Tarzan
Peeves the Poltergeist
Fred & George Weasly
"Wild animals"

The almost totally unpredictable non-conformist loner. Will stand by and watch the white knight battle the black knight without feeling compelled to take sides.

Will keep their word if in their best interest
May attack an unarmed foe
May use poison
May help those in need
Prefers to work alone
Responds poorly to higher authority
Distrustful of organizations
Self preservation is strong but will not go to the same extent as Neutral-Evils.
They can generally be swayed easily.

Chaotic Neutral "Pure Chaos"
"Free Spirit"

A chaotic neutral [person] follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral [person] does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others), evil (and a desire to make others suffer), or be lawful neutral. A chaotic neutral [person] may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it.

Chaotic neutral is freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal.

Other Alignments and Tendencies (Tendenices are what you would more often sway towards; esp. for Neutrals):
0-39% Good, 0-39% Chaotic: Lawful-Evil

0-39% Good, 61-100% Chaotic: Chaotic-Evil
