Black and white ball? I guess I didn't get the memo.

For a long time now I havn't had the time to do any art except my comic and the illustrations, but now that my boss has suddenly deciced that I'll only be working two and three days a week (it is my last month after all), I figured I'd indulge myself today.
It's like my inspirations dries up if I don't get to draw the things in my mind for a period of time. And I lose the energy I need to be able to finish something.
Today I made a collague! I can't remember the last time I did that! It was a lot of fun, but also quite time craving.
I found ONE newspaper on the floor in the kitchen, and I used it for what it was worth ^^
Turns out the sports section is in pink (I wouldn't know because I never read it, obviously), and that was just what I needed!

Since the last thing I scanned was a comic, the settings were on black and white when I turned it on, so completely randomly I discovered that this peace looks pretty cool in black and white.
I called it "Melk", which means milk in Norwegian, mostly 'cause I didn't have an idea for a title. Now I'm making birthday cards ^^

Oh Billy Brown, you are a victim of the times

mixi: "You have 1 new message from..." the name seems completely Chinese to me, but it's someone who isn't yet on my friends list. So I check the profile, and more importantly, user pic...
My inner creepy uncle goes: "Well, hello there, little fellow, are you lost? hurrhurrhurr".
Time to read the message:

"Ingeruuuuuuu! You remember me?
It's Azusa from the keion-bu (music club) at JIU!"

Oh, of course it is XDXD
It has to be said, in my defence, that she's actually so androgynous in real life as well, that until I heard her voice I referred to her as "that" for months. No intended offence, but I just couldn't be sure wether "that" was a girl or a really small dude^^
Aparrently we've spoken, at the Club activity presentation last year. Can't have been a long conversation, 'cause I don't even remember, but she does! And she wants to be boddies! SHE just hasn't had the courage to approach ME until now...
Yes, please! Let's be buddies, you adorable little human. Maybe she has a brother XD

In other good news I got another mail from someone I couldn't quite place the other day. Sana, that I met at our concert at ZX, who's also a JIU student. And guess what! Out of the blue she just suggests that I can come stay at her messy little apartment while I'm in Japan!
I love messy little apartments and Sana! Hooray for her!
I should probably still try to move around a bit though, 'cause she has a room mate and maybe I can't be in her apartment when she's not there and the gass in the kitchen doesn't work... I guess it's a bit much for her if I stay for two months. But it's great to have something settled, what with only 3 weeks until I go ^^
Also, it seems Tomo will skip clean-up day at school to come meet me at the airport.

The late revelation

So, this weekend I learned a few things. First of all, what my friends must feel like waiting for me to get my ass out of the house, and second, that there are people in this world who are even slower than me.
But it all started out like normal, with someone waiting for me. It wasn't 'cause I wasn't ready. I was fully dressed. Kinda looked like this:
(only this is my outfit from the day before, but it was more or less the same).
I had done my hair and my make-up and even vacuumed my room and painted my nails, when I suddenly got a call from Cat that they were already at the train station. Apparrently, Kimmie had sent me an sms, but it had gotten lost or something, because I didn't get it until afterwards.
So, they were waiting when I got there.
Cat was carrying an enormous backpack with laundry (she doesn't have to pay for a laundromat if she wsahes them at my place^^), but Kimmie hadn't brought enough underwear, so we had to take a trip to the town mall.
Ofcourse we were distracted from the original task XD
Cats conceiler... less than a perfect match for me. There's a point where we really don't match! Her skin is purple-ish, while mine is green-yellow XD
Good thing she likes purple!
We also quickly learned why men in my little city are so unfashionable. All the relatively fashionable budgett stores here (like H&M and Cubus) have cut the mens wear section O__o
We diod find some stores, slightly more exclusive ones, in the old part of the mall, and after going back and forth a bit, Kimmie found something he could wear and afford.
Ofcourse, by that time, we had all bought some things we weren't supposed to buy XD
I got this:
The fur-skarf thingy from H&M that I've been drooling on,
and some make-up. Gold and brown eye shadow, and a proper liquid eye liner (that's going to take some getting used to), oh and brown nail polish, to go with my pink.

After the mall we went to the recently opened grocery store on the other side of the station. It is said to be Norways biggest of the kind, so I was a little excited. Obviously I've been working in a grocery store too long, even though it's only a couple of months.
It was really big though!
This is romanesco. It looks a lot cooler than brocoly, but it is also more expencive, so it'll have to wait for a time when I'm not paying.
Here's Cat, explaining to Kimmie the shocking fact that I don't like pinapple.
The pinapple has an ezymyme that eats your tongue, did you know that? That's why your tongue gets numb from eating a lot of it.

Kimmie likes vine, so he got a Hariob kebab, and he started before dinner!
While waiting for our rice to cook we entertained our selves.
Seemed very harmless, until he tried to unzip and realized his hair was cought in the zipper XD
Then we found something else to play with.
This is actually a squash that my dad grew in our garden. It's so huge that we couldn't eat it all before it got dry!

We'd decided on bibimba for dinner. Kimmie deserves credit for taking us up on the offer of raw egg in his food the first time he's even been asked. It took me one and a half year on eating out in Japan before I gave in and tried!
It might have damaged his nerve of balance though, because he sure is clumsy! If you ever have him over, you should make sure you'll be doing all the cooking and serving yourself! Also, making and stirring of coacoa should not be left up to him XD
Cat was covered in Nesquick powder. We decided the vacuum cleaner would be the best way to get it off.
Cat didn't agree that was a super good idea, but I guess she changed her mind, considering how much she was laughing XD
Waffle-making is also strictly womens business from now on^^
Since it was the weekend we allowed ourselves to binge. It was waffles with ice cream and crunced up choko cookies and strawberries.

Kind of like crepes, only harder to eat XD
We ate so much we all got a little bit queezy.
Then the children napped while the grown-ups did the laundry.
I also made a movie, but I'm not sinister enough to post it. To sum it up we had to tickle his nose and toes and then hit him repeatedly with a pillow to meke him wake up long enough for us to pull out the guest bed.

The next day we staid in pajamas for far too long. I put on my Muhou chitai dvd (that's 12012), to watch hot swetty men, and we nerded on the internet and ate more ice cream and watched more visual kei dvd's. Lately I've really been taking the time to endulge in the music I love and it feels so good!
Also, feels great to hang out with people who still like visual kei, and not fucking k-pop ^^;

The plan was to meet up with Jack at Cats place, at around six, but we totally forgot to watch the time. Suddenly we were in a hurry, and that's when I learned that there is one person in the world twice as slow as me: Kimmie XD
I always get complaints that I'm slow or late, but this time, I was standing in the hall, with my purse and my shoes and jacket on, while he was just beginning to straighten his hair.

We did eventually get out of the house though. And we caught a train. No seats though.
These are my black-clad buddies. Finally I could be the cool kid and meet my emo friends at the station XD
Somehow they got me squeezed in her as well.
And speaking of squeezed, here's a very flat bun that Kimmie insisted on eating. He was half kidding, saying how he couldn't quite remember when he'd baiught it. I'm not sure wether to take that seriously or not^^

Finally in Oslo, we found out that the cell phone net was down. We couldn't get a hold of Jack. We tried again and again, but eventually we had to wave goodbye to Kimmie at the Central Station and head for Cats apartment in the Student Village.
I wanted to dress oshare, and I also wanted to use my new furry friend...
I looked like a gyaruo O__Olol
Eventually though, we did catch a lucky break and got in contact with Jack, and so she and her mother came over. Jack is going to live with Cat for a few weeks while the bathroom in her apartment is renovated.
We had some fishsticks and tea and watched Supernatural. I had a dream about Sam and Dean last night XD

This morning I was shoved out of bed way too early for a day off. I was out the door and on the train home before I would have usually even gotten out of bed at home!
Inspired by the frisky weather I stopped by the biggest Rema-store in the world again, on my way home, and bought this:
it's aPierre Robert undershirt, and it cost almost 300 kr.! Wich is roughly like 11,50 in GBP... that's a lot for an undershirt, but if this can keep me warm and fashionable this winter it is totally worth it! I've gotten warm recomendations from my friend, Oda, who is a very reliable source in my opinion.

Coming home I was met by this...
I hadn't had the time to clean my room before we went the day before... Luckily the only real effort was folding the guest bed back into a sofa, and the reast was easy peasy! Within an hour my room was cozy again, and I had hot brunch and a cup of tea ready to enjoy.
I'm considering wether or not to go to my Comic circle today. I'm kind of worn out and... it's really cold outside... we'll see.

♪ミチランド♪

Happy birthday, Tomoyuki!
Today is 12012s fabulous duck-faced, shoulder-showing bassists birthday!
Let's not think about how old he is now, and just celebrate!
Jack and I even had cake today, even though it's a Thursday. Yes, we're nerds.
It kinda looks like we're celebrating Nero, but Nero is actually the name of the café where we had cake.
Cat also joined in, but I suspect she's only looking for an excuse to have cake on a weekday XD

By the way, I had a wisdomtooth pulled out on Monday, and have been complaining ever since. Not that the actual process hurt so much, thanks to the shots and drugs and all, but my face have swollen up a great deal. I didn't even want to go out of the house, I was so emberassed, but I had to go to work yesterday.
Anyway, it's almost back to normal now. I'm not posting any pictures of myself with a hamster face(I didn't take any), but if you're really curious I kinda looked like Michiru XD
I couldn't really find a picture where you can actually see that his face looks exactly like a soccerball with make-up on, but I did find out he's in a new band with his old MASK-bandmates, Sana and Kazutake.
To see what I looked like, look for the white lumpy thing. To see a crime against humanity, look at the bassist....

Alot of things are wrong with this video, but what frets me the most is how they make a man like Kazutak look so... unsexy. I'm feeling the dead animal a,d maybe the indian make-up is allright, but what's with the hair and that ugly ass pirate vest!? No, my wet fantasies! And then I think "but if he's currently in a band then maybe he can be found and grouped", and then I think "Shut up!" "No YOU shut up!"
Yeah, anyway. Let's have a look at this and remember the sexy days:

Memememe

My first post!

My name is Inger, and I have been writing my blog in norwegian for quite some time now. Thought I'd give it a try to write one in english too, partly since I have some good friends who don't speak norwegian, but anyone is welcome to read! Long as you have an open mind.

Sometimes I smile too, I just wanted to post a picture of this pretty dress ^^

So here's a little introduction of myself.

I live in Norway (so my english might not be so great). I live with my dad and is currently working at a grocery store, but not much longer ^^ I quit in November and is going to Japan for various fun.

My dream job would be something I could do from home or maybe in an office where I wouldn't have to deal with costumers or cranky schizofrenic bosses. I want to be an artist, maybe an illustrator or a comic artist.

I'm not so fond of digital art, but I love drawing and making comics, and I occationally upload them, so there will be some on here :D

I used to be a japanese student and spent one and a half year at the JIU in Chiba, Japan. By the way, Chiba is NOT Tokyo!w

Through some good friends and romantic entaglements I learned to love it in Japan, and have been back again and again, even though it's mighty costy. Not sure I would like to live there permanently though.

With all this it probably sounds like I want to be a manga artist. I don't.I could write a loooong post about that, but maybe later. For now, some facts...

My favorite fashion styles:

hime, lolita, mori girl and oshare kei.

I generally respond to very feminine and cute things, but I kind of have "two sides", because sometimes I feel like dressing cute-punk or hip hop-ish oshare kei.

I'm not a gyaru, even though I like alot of things considered gyaru-ish, since I fell for the hime style. I say this because I don't have the gyaru-attitude and I wouldn't describe my style as sexy. Doesn't mean I have anything against gyarus though, ofcourse :D

Favorite brand at the moment is definitely LIZ LISA.

My favorite bands:

12012, Zoro, MUCC, One Ok Rock, Bug Lug.

I mostly listen to Visual Kei, but I'm not really a big generist. If I like it, I listen to it, if I can dance to it, I dance to it, if it's fun to sing I'll sing it. Japanese or none-japanese. However, that doesn't mean I'll nesesserily get really into it and buy CD's. I am a fan of CD's though ^^

My Favorite movies at the moment:

Pans Labyrinth and 28 Days Later.

I love horror, and I love/hate zombies. I like watching bad horror movies as well as good ones. That being said it doesn't HAVE to be horror, but I admit I easily shy away from schi-fi, fantasy and romantic comedies, unless I get some kind of credible recomendition.

Feel free to recomend!^^

My favorite actors:

Tsukamoto Takashi, Oguri Shun, Cillian Murphy, Keira Knightly, Narimiya Hiroki and ofcourse Johnny Depp.

Other than that... I don't smoke XD And I like animals and cute things. My favourite color is pink (big surprise) and pastels, and I'm obsessed with roses. I'm not really big on Hello Kitty, but I love Rilakkuma, and especially Korilakkuma.

I imagine I'm a very easy person to find presents for, because I have so many likes. I am also kind of obsessive.

I also have a bunch of dislikes ofcourse, but I'm sure they'll naturally come out in my blog posts. Don't really feel like listing them all now, I think ^^

Ok, that was ALOT of talking about myself. As for this blog, I will try to update it almost in phase with my norwegian blogs, but at the moment I can't make any promises, since it all takes alot of time, and I'm a busy busy girl.
