I Don't Eat Enough?

O.K., my parents say I don't eat enough. As you may know, I only eat super-healthy, vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free food and it can't contain anything that might be unhealthy in any kind of way. On top of that I don't eat food that tastes bad. My parents say I don't eat enough, but I think I eat anything that they serve me... Except if something tastes bad.

So, my father "interviewed" me a bit about what I could consider eating and he wrote it down on a writing pad. I copied the list and I've decided to post it here, just for fun. Oh and in case any of your will cook for me in the future, you know what to make me he he he ;) Nah, just kidding, you're not good enough to cook for me :D

Here's what he wrote...

Lasagna
Pizza
Tacos
Pasta with GOOD sauce
Pasta with margarine and boiled vegetables
Mashed potatoes
Tofu is often OK to mashed potatoes
No weird flavors
No onions
No tomatoes
No weird textures
Nothing that STANDS OUT

So, that's the list

Moving on... Hedvig won't have her birthday party tomorrow after all, because she suddenly got sick, but her party will be in a few weeks instead.

Also... Last night, I woke up and fell asleep over and over... Well, it was more like, I went to sleep late at night, then I woke up in the morning and then later, like late on the morning or early day I fell asleep again... But I cannot recall how many "sleep sessions" I had. Anyway... I remember lots of little dreams and parts of dreams I had last night.

One thing I really remember well from the dreams was a strange thing... I had went with my mother to a zoo, to photograph animals and maybe some children playing with animals... So far the dream is very much similar to my reality, ha ha, (I didn't really laugh out loud there) but the thing is... Yeah, I had gotten to the zoo and there were these tiny tiny cows...

And I asked, "So can I photograph any of these little cows with the children?" and some lady working at the zoo went all like "Yeah, but this cow is too shy and that one is angry and bla bla bla bla", so there was really only one cow I could photograph... But then suddenly, a lady and a man and three little extremely formally dressed children grabbed the cow and sat at a table, with the cow as company, they were smiling and looking really happy and stuff.

I looked at them and I said "No offense but... I really didn't come here to photograph some hired actors that are supposed to pose with the cows... What I want to photograph is children and animals playing together, in the natural way, not dressed up and posing at a table... I didn't come all this way to photograph some hired bunch that get paid for being photographed... That's just ridiculous!"

Then the actor-daddy and the actor-mommy and their dressed up little kids left, the parents seemed pretty angry and said something like "OK, forget about it then, we'll just leave!" and then I felt really sad and angry... Like, why couldn't I just photograph some kids playing with animals? Are people too afraid that I'll photograph them or their children that the zoo has to hire actors that can be photographed? Lots of children love to be photographed, it's their parents that are paranoid and think all people that actually like children are pedophiles.

Another thing that I dreamt last night was that I somehow used magic to temporarily turn my cat into a bird. I let her fly free, thinking, if she wants to fly away and never come back, I guess I will just have to accept her choice. She met a boy bird and I was thinking - Hey, maybe they can have bird eggs that baby birds will come out of!

So, she and the boy bird flew away. Then I thought - Oh, no, what have I done? Why did I turn my cat into a bird and let her fly away with some strange boy-bird that I don't know, what if she gets hurt? My house was quickly rushing through the air, so you couldn't really go in or out through the doors.

I heard my cat meowing outside and I pulled the door open, though it was difficult. Then I lift my cat down, she had held on to the door with her claws. The cat was safe at home and I said to her, I'll never let you go, never let you fly away in the dangerous world, never leave you with a stranger, never change you.

After that I woke up... I mean, for real, woke up, stopped dreaming and that... And my kitty was there and I held her and I thought: I'll never change you, I'll never let you out in this world alone, I'll never let anything happen to you, I'll never leave you. My perfect kitty Gloria, of course I'd never let her out in the scary world alone.

U.S. Election 2008


OK, I don't usually like to hope for someone to win an election, mainly because all politicians suck ass, but this is an exception. Come on, seriously, evil McCain and his bitch Palin against the cool and admired Barack Obama. Barack has said some pretty cool things that even impressed me!

Now, I gotta admit I don't really know shit about McCain. But I know shit about Sarah Palin. And she is a real douche bag. Now, if McCain believes in the same shit stuff she believes in, him winning would be bad. Barack Obama, however, didn't really impress me much at first, but I've changed my mind more and more and he might probably actually be a really good president.

I wrote a letter to Sarah Palin a while ago, because she is a bitch and I needed to tell her how stupid it is to allow aerial hunting of wolves. See, that's when you shoot wolves from the air, we're they can't possibly defend themselves and supposedly it's because there are "too many wolves" or some other shitty sadistic argument like that.

A Little About My Life

I still don't have a job, karate practice is going great, I'm invited to Hedvig's third birthday party which is this Sunday. Hedvig is a wonderful child, I am not related by blood to her, but I've known her ever since she was a baby and her parents are very close friends with my aunt and her boyfriend. My cousin Olga and Hedvig have grown up meeting each other regularly and even had a shared baptism.

Little Hedvig is turning three.

I noticed that my hair was getting long, so I cut it off. Now it is really short. The fall weather in Sweden is just magical, but to me the magic disappears and I realize that it is just plain weather and that there is no magic. If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound? Can there still be magic even if I'm an unloved piece of shit?

Magic or stupid dead matter?

Halloween and Samhain are coming up. Samhain is an old pagan holiday, dedicated to getting rid of all the bad and inviting all the good in. All Hallows Eve is dedicated to honoring your deceased family members and friends. I guess you could say Halloween is a combination of the both, but with candy and scary movies thrown in.

An altar with a candle, flowers and a wooden turtle to remember my dead turtle Ayo.
