Lambafell Christmas times

Christmas has been so good so far! I am starving right now, which is unusual for Christmas, but its my own fault, I stayed up late last night and slept in til noon and when I finally got up my parents and siblings and rest of the family except for the grandmothers wanted to go out for a walk, so I didnt eat anything and we walked for a bit and now I am starving.
Plan: get a plate of last nights leftovers and eat up, then get a cup of hot chocolate and some candies and watch the muppets Christmas Carol. End of plan, and we will just see what happens after that. Matti is calling us at 5ish..we are eating dinner at 7ish.
Other than that we might:
sit in the hot tub for a bit, eat more food, play games, watch Beauty and the Beast, go to the beach and take pictures, help prep for dinner, take a shower, hang out with people.

Lets start from the Beginning.
Tuesday at 3ish Maliana and I left town, I got to leave work early because there was supposed to be a storm later and we didnt want to drive down in a storm. So we got there in time for Skata, the grossest fish besides shark there is. It also reeks! we had to cook it in an abandoned house down the road from the log cabin so the smell wouldn't kill us.
We ate it and then sat in the hot tub.
Morning of the 24th we were eating breakfast, grandma was vacuuming and someone knocked on the kitchen window, when we looked it was a santaclause! (we have 13 of them in Iceland) so anyways, two of them stood by our door and brought us oranges. so nice! turns out they were a couple of guys from one of the neighbouring farms, who went between the farms wherever there are kids and give them oranges, someone from the farm that takes care of the cabin told them there are kids here this Christmas. So cute! but they were totally in character and so funny. We were all smiling for the next few hours!
everything went smoothly, the whole day was so good! we got things ready, I got ready in time and we started eating on time and then opening presents was so much fun.
We hung out, watched leatherheads and had fun, after which a freind read me a news article which was highly interesting and I went to bed late....
the end. it was good!!!
Ill post pictures soon!

Only real men grow facial hair!

Listening to the Jonas Brothers inspired this post...its dedicated to hairy men!

Not all facial hair is hot or even cool, lemme explain....no there's too much...lemme sum up...

Johnny Depp is a fine example of a non hairy man who looks hot when as hairy as possible!
Good job on the stash too, so hot!
Jake, my stranger friends, looks amazing kissable with the mountain man looking facial hair.
All in favour of the artsy looking facial hair say I......cricket....cricket......that's what I thought! I didn't hear anyone say I!!
I have a thing for older men, funny guys, facial hair and criminals.....Robert Downey Jr .......check, check, check check....need I say more?

It really doesn't matter what Shiah does with his face or his hair, he is always very attractive...but check out the chest hair...this is a real man! ...except this photo is just a drawing...but he still is...a real man...

A day out with Binni

k, so my brother and I were hanging out today, and we were driving around in the crazy snow, and since its right before Christmas down town was really busy, and even though there was plenty traffic the roads were still real slidey-like. Anyways, we were making a left turn on an intersection on a two turn-lanes road when our car starts sliding in the wrong direction, not that scary until it kinda started overcorrecting but Binni had it under control and we ended up right where we were supposed to be, alough both of us were a little shaken, him because of the sliding into the sidewalk part and me because of the overcorrection part. Anyways, we drove on and got to a round about in Kópavogur where whilst trying to get through the roundabout the butt of the car kept trying to slide off into different directions (see Newton's law, or the law of inertia...I think...) whilst going forwards, to the side and off a bit from where we were planning on going Binni all of a sudden says to me "I wish were going where we're supposed to be going". It made me laugh...

Please read following newsletter carefully.

A couple of things I feel the need to talk about, and just so you know, this is another angry post, so all of you peacable people please heed my warning and avoid reading this blog entry, since it will not bring you any feelings of joy, kindness or peace.



1. my blog url has been changed. it was is supposedly a "skráð vörumerki" which basically means it was paid for and any use of it by other people is illegal!



2. Little kids should know why we have Christmas, its not because of Santa, or lights, or presents. Parents, don't be so busy that you forget to teach your children about Jesus Christ.

(wow, what a hypocrite I am, talking about punching peoples faces in and then the next subject is teach your children about Jesus Christ).



3. I can't even really remember... lets just have number 3 be about how I have no Idea what I should do about my education. Maliana told me to have Miriam plan my future for me, that way something will happen, instead of me just sitting here feeling hopelessly lost and seeing no real options when it comes to school and education. I want to be an art therapist, but I don't want to have to go through Háskóli Íslands when I have already finished like half of my degree at BYU.

I am 110% sure I was supposed to come back home to Iceland when I did, and I dont regret it, but I need to know where to go from here. I might just do the independent study thing regardless of how much it costs. Man! its gonna be expensive! maybe I should have peopel donate money to my education fund, to help a poor icelander gain an education! thats a worthy cause!



4. I love my job, I am not really upset about the blog url anymore, just the fact that I now have to contact all my friends and tell them about the change.

Best.Day.Ever

Title=quote from Heroes (yes...yes I believe I am all sorts of nerdy)
Yesterday, what a day it was! I woke up after a good nights rest and went to work, where I was able to do my job well, take care of things concerning my calling and talk to one of my best friends, Rakel, on the phone.
In the afternoon my dad came to work and we took a walk to the bank and just talked, it was nice, having some dad time. After that my sister Sóley and two of her kids, Danni and Yrja came over along with mum and we cleaned the garage while trying to call a radio station giving out free tickets to Twilight, this was for Danni and Sóley since Maliana and I had already bought our ticket for 10:10pm last night.
After work I made cake with the help of my beautiful sister, went to singing practice for an hour and then had FHE with the YSA ath church, it was fun, so relaxed and an ace lesson. Refreshments were also superb! Gunnar brought a game I wanted to learn but everyone with a key had to leave early so I will have to learn it next week.
Maliana and I went to Kringlan Mall wearing our Team Edward and Team Jacob T-shirts (team Edward = Unnur, team Jacob = Maliana) to see the Twilight movie, but we were like an hour early just to be sure we would get good seats, and we kinda thought the mall would still be open since it is December, but no, all the stores were closed and there was no line for the movie, I guess I am one of only a few twerds in Iceland (twerd=twilight nerd) so we went to the pub in kringlan which is well nice, had some nachos and then went to see the movie.
It was a weird feeling, watching the movie, finally! I was totally and utterly happy and relaxed but yet excited. A very grown up comfortable feeling of excitement. I am a grown up...how weird is that!
Anyways, during intermission I met Hera in the hall, I haven't seen her in forever, and her fiance was there with her, he is very nice too. We just talked and were almost late for the beginning of the second half of the movie. Which continued to meet my expectations.
And then there was Bella's Lullaby, which I am pretty much in love with! it's so beautiful.
After the movie Malian and I sat in the kitchen for a bit discussing the movie and nicknames and such, it was great fun, but because of that I got to bed really really late and then this morning found out I forgot to set my alarm, which was potentially very non-good, since I was supposed to open the store, but thankfully I had to pee at 9:18 so I woke up in time to get ready for work and opened like 3 minutes early even. Good times! and today has been really good as well! I hope I have good times for eternity.
ahhhhh....life is just good. just perfect.

Before I die

I finished reading this book last night, Before I die, by Jenny Downham. My friend, Sara, told me about it a while back and it sounded really good, but everytime I read the description on the back I didn't feel interested in reading it at all. But then I was at the library the other day and saw it sitting there on a shelf by the check out counter, so I asked the lady if I could check out one of the books on the shelf and she told me that should be alright, they had already been checked back in but hadn't been put in their shelves up on the second floor where they belong, so it must have been just waiting for me there. So without reading the back of it again I just checked it out of the library, went home and started reading it. Before I started reading it I did something I haven't done since high school, I read the last line, SPOILER ALERT!!!!
and by doing so my suspicions were confirmed. She is going to die. After reading the last line of the book I stopped to think about what I was about to do. I tend to make deep connections with fictional characters, so I am very careful about the books I read. Now, by reading the last line of the book I knew the main character was going to die, and I was most likely going to be very very sad about it. After about two minutes of careful thinking, I opened the book on the first page and started reading. At first I didn't mind so much that she was going to die, she was a brat, evil little teenager who made everyones life a living hell. But then slowly, she changes, and for my artsy little brain, the color of the book (the feeling I get from reading the book put into a color I find suitable for that specific feeling) went from being grey to being a pleasant sort of orange, and yellow, with some deep greens and blues inbetween along with some white and red. All of a sudden the book is filled with life, and the worst part was that I knew it was going to end.
I took a test once, which one of Jane Austins characters am I most like, and it turns out I am whats her face from Northanger Abbey, for all you non Austin fans, that basically means I am naive, but smart, rely on feelings more than my brain, am trustworthy, and picture myself as the heroine of every book I read, and for an artsy type person who has an overly active immagination that's probably not the best thing when you are reading about a dying girl.
By the time Tessa was told she only had a few days to live, to the time she dies, I cried! and let me tell you, theres a few pages between those two parts of the story. So basically, I cried so much that I had to drink two full glasses of water to make up for the loss of water while reading the end of the book.
It definately makes you appreciate life more, and realize you probably shouldn't just float through it! life it, enjoy it, love it!
Like Elder Wirthlin said, come what may and love it!
