acid food

how could i have neglected to say this on rhubarbidoo! gudni told me about two weeks ago that sigur ros AND bjork, are holding an outdoor concert in iceland, and guess what. were going! words cannot express how i felt! not even those damn exclamation marks. i have always wanted to see sigur ros..i never had the opportunity, and now i'm going to see them in iceland with my love. i couldn't ask for anything better!!!

bamboo panda

i need to remind myself to bring my camara when i walk to the crossings. i saw this random bamboo tree with long yellow limbs just..amongst the greenary. it stood out so much, i didn't even know we had any bamboo trees growing in the wild like that. and finally i took the bus to school and i didn't pay 1.50. no..i refuse. the operators don't seem to care either. so.. 75 cents it is!

salt liqorice & tart pie

yesterday i went to jeff and clara and that was fun. jeff grilled these huge pieces steak on the grill to eat. it was the biggest piece of meat i've ever eaten in my life. we had some corn and sauce and rice, it was good food. i told them about my trip to iceland and we realized that iceland and sweden have alot of similarities, despite how different they are. both love salt licorce (yuck), both provide guests with food and drink, both like to use herb salt and boil potatoes, and alot of other things. it was fun comparing words and etc. clara showed me a huge map of sweden and showed me the county where she was from, and where she went to school, which happened to be the next village over. she told me about the university in uppsala, and malmo. then i ate this amazing tart pie she baked. i loved it..i must get the recepie. haha get it.. recepie? :o)

then jeff whipped out the photo albums and i saw pictures from the 80's. lot's of hammer pants, flat tops and mullets. yeah..unforgiving fashion. i left with a swedish magazine to pan over..and i promised to send them a postcard from iceland. i'll see them next in august!

can i have a taste of your ice cream?

barbara and i decided to go out to a club that maria was promoting. i wasn't expecting to have a good time, but i actually did. but not without getting completely trashed. i mean completely, i was gone. eddi and maria kept handing me drinks and i just kept drinking them. long island ice tea's and mongolian motherfuckers. after that i was dancing and just letting loose to the music, i had a good time! all of a sudden all that alcohol hit me and i walked to the bathroom but i wasn't able to come out. maria and barbara came in and had to help me put my pants up :oD the club had already closed and they were just waiting for us to leave, so they both had to carry me out. haha makes me laugh just thinking about it. barbara kept telling me to act normal because there were cops outside. and i was like "uuuuhhhh yeeaahhh oook" after walking to the car i decided to lay down on the street because i was so dizzy. then it all came out..

after that,they carried me into barbara's car where she gave me a hug bag and said "throw up in the bag!!" haha after we made it home, barbara's roommate had to carry me in the apartment and then i said "uuuuhhh i'mm not really likke thiss" lol. after changing clothes and going to bed, i woke up next afternoon feeling alright. but later on throughout the day i had a headache, and my stomach wasn't feeling to snappy..but now i feel ok. barbara says to come AGAIN tommorrow. i don't know..

7-up days

i've come to a realization..i'm miserable here. it's not miami, it's not the weather, it's my mom. i can't live like this.. i can't live my life this way. i'm not happy here.. i don't know how many ways i can put it. why should i stay and tolerate this? our mother daughter relationship is not getting any better as i thought it would..

it's getting worse.

i've given up..i think it's time to move on. i thought nearly two years of not seeing her would be ok..but nothing has changed since i've been back. well, at least i know that. i think it's time for me to really move to iceland. not 4 years from now but..now. or as soon as my paperwork goes through which might take awhile. (about 3 months) i can pick up the language while i'm there..and be truely happy. all gudni and i want is to be together..

i'm gonna make that happen.

hour long moccasins

guðni got an apartment! he told me it's huge and i can't wait to see it. i'm so proud of him :o)

took my placement tests. passed english of course.

math..eh not so good.

i decided to walk to MDC which was about an hour long. it's not the most enjoyable experience, but it's defintely do-able. if i'm ever gonna do that again then i'm gonna need better shoes. my feet have blisters on them owww

i should get a vintage bike to get around here..

i've seen some good ones on craigslist for like $100

back to tropical palms

well i'm finally back in miami. it's strange to be back home. i see everything with a new set of eyes. things seem much cleaner..nicer. i still have to get used to it all though. i have to adjust again. let's start the iceland countdown. can't believe i'm leaving next week!

10 days til i see my love
