#18: A problem that you have had [Freeny]

I pretty much covered this one in my last post, so... I'll let this one be.

In the meantime I'll let you enjoy yourselves with this gif.



Aw, man, I fucking love that movie. For those who don't know it; it's called I Love You, Man and God.. All I have to say that IMMA SLAPPA DA BAASS MON!

#17: Something that you're proud of [Freeny]

I'm very proud of the fact that I went from finding social situations of almost all kinds horrifying to actually enjoying them now.

Ever since I was a kid I always hid behind someone else, because I couldn't speak for myself. I dreaded oral presentations and suffered from severe anxiety at many points in my life.

I've overcome that.

I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but I think a lot of it has to do with playing music in front of other people in school concerts. If anything it made me more comfortable about having people see me. This semester I've made a bunch of oral presentations in front of full classes, and I'm very proud of overcoming the stagefright which prevented me from doing so before.

I used to have a hard time making purchases at stores because the interaction with the cashier would scare me. Those feelings still come creeping back sometimes, but I manage to push them away. I'm a lot stronger now, and I'll stay that way.

#15: Your zodiac/horoscope and if you think it fits your personality [Freeny]

My zodiac and what it says about me:
I'm a Libra
Your element: Air
Your ruling planets: Venus
Symbol: The Scales
Your stone: Opals
Life Pursuit: Emotional and financial security
Libras Secret Desire: To be consistent
Libras Characteristics: Diplomatic, urbane, romantic, charming, easygoing, indecisive, sociable, gullible, self-indulgent, idealistic, easily influenced, changeable

I find horoscopes and zodiac signs interesting, because of my plain need for vertification. Everyone wants to know who they are and why, so we rely on something a bunch of strangers came up with a long time ago to tell us who we are. In my heart, I know that there is no such thing as zodiac signs, and that it doesn't matter which part of the year I was born in. Reading about the Libra makes me look for the things I can relate to, though, and that's why I often find myself thinking they're pretty much correct.

It often says that the Libra is a daydreamer, who wishes to be somewhere else and often makes up scenarios in their heads. It often says there's a very introverted aspect to the people of that sign, despite their alleged social capability. It also says that the Libra is very scared of conflicts and always wants everyone to get along, which causes them to put themselves inbetween the two fighting people.

Those are the aspects I find myself relating to the most about the Libra, because I know, and I think some of my friends can have a say in how much that sounds like me.

Day 15: Your zodiac/horoscope and if you think it fits your personality [Hannah]

My zodiac and what it says about me:
I'm a Taurus.
Your element: Earth
Your ruling planets: Venus
Symbol: The Bull
Your stone: Emerald
Life Pursuit: Emotional and financial security
Taurus Secret Desire: To have a secure, happy and wealthy life/marriage
Taurus Characteristics: Steady, reliable, stubborn, determined, creative, kind, loyal, generous, gerocious temperament, honest, possessive, financial wizard, romantic, emotional, warmhearted, compassionate, obstinate...

Positive Aspects
The Taurus symbol has very attractive and positive features that make people good human beings. They are peace lovers and are more practical than intellectual. They are loyal and can endure relationships without betrayals. They are homely and prefer staying indoors with a good eye for materialistic things, luxury and well furnished lifestyle. Comfort and pleasure loving are few of the most prominent features of Taurus. Taureans are lovely individuals to be with, although they are quite reserve and calm. They are sensuous to touch and are strongly passionate. Taureans make good partners having taste for good food, drink and sex. They are perfect individuals who can express love with utmost warmth and affection.


Negative Aspects
Every zodiac symbols have some negative traits also. Taureans are extremely possessive with their own possessions as well as with their partners. They often tend to get jealous, if not given necessary attention. They can be very stubborn and obsessive at times. Although Taureans are gentle and peace loving, they can burst into a feat of violent anger and rage, if provoked. Taureans can be annoying at times, as they are extremely slow and lazy. They are immune to changes. This can be either be a positive or negative perspective, depending on circumstances.


Todays horoscope (I used the Daily horoscope app on my phone):
When you create a recipe for a seafood dish, for example, you can improvise and be as creative as you desire. As long as you cook the meal thoroughly, you should come out with something that is at least edible. But when you bake a cake, it is a more scientific proposition. That's because the wrong blend of ingredients - or leaving out something critical such as baking soda - could cause your cake to be a disaster. You may be inclined to be creative in an upcoming venture, but you really need to play by the rules for the greatest chance at success.

I love things like horoscopes and astrology, numerology etc! I don't let it control my life and destiny, but it's fun to look at and kind of try to fit it into your current life situation.
I do feel like a Taurus though. Most of the characteristics fit me very well, I think :).

This gif also describes me quite well

#14: What you wore today [Freeny]

That's pretty much it.

Day 14: What you wore today [Hannah]

I don't have any photos of what I wore today haha and as soon as I got home I took a quick shower and then changed into leggings and a cozy sweater :3.

BUT before that, when I was out celebrating my birthday for the second day in a row, with my friends, I wore: a pink/coral tank top, a grey cardigan with skulls, my favorite black jeans and my blue low converse.

#13: Your opinion about your body and how comfortable you are with it [Freeny]

Everyone gets selfconcious about their appearance and so on, but that aside I'm very happy about my body, because it enables me to...

... move from one place to another just using my legs.


... dance 'till it hurts and keep going.


... rock out at concerts.


... make attractive faces


and, most importantly...


scroll tumblr. :)


Body, I love you!

xo /Freeny

Day 13: Your opinion about your body and how comfortable you are with it [Hannah]

Ugh. And of fucking course I get this one on my birthday. Well ok, here goes;

Right now, I don't really like it, I'm not exactly comfortable.
But I guess it could be worse, and I'm working on both making my body look better and making me less selfconcious.
At least I don't hate being "short" as much as I used too :).

1. Quinn Allman
2. Drew Fuller
3. Ian Somerhalder
4. Jake Gyllenhaal
5. Matthew Gray Gubler

Day 11: Your family [Hannah]

My family consists of my mom, dad, younger sister and our four cats. Yes, I absolutely consider my cats as a part of my family.

We used to live together as a family, but then my parents separated and I've lived with my mom ever since. My dad has one cat and the rest of them lives with me and mom. I kind of wish I could be at my dad's place more often, and I'm going to as soon as we get my room ready, I don't have any furniture there haha.
I almost don't have any contact with my sister, due to lots of different reasons I'm not going to bring up here.

uhm. So yeah. My cats means the world to me.

#10: Put your music player on shuffle and write the first ten songs that play [Freeny]

I'll do what it says above, but I'll add my own commentary on the songs as well :). My music player of choice is my iPhone for everyone's information, and I listen to it when I'm on the bus to and from school.

1. In The Cold Light Of The Morning - Placebo
I haven't listened to that song, or really any Placebo song, in a while since I was pretty much obsessed with them throughout 2010. I like the ghosty feel to this song, and also the nice analogy in the lyrics: "A loser, a sinner, a cock in a dildo's disguise." Hehe.

2. London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines - Panic! At The Disco
Not so long ago, I was obsessed with this song. I love how the lyrics talk about trying to actually dare to do what you want to do. The opening lyric "Stop stalling, make a name for yourself" is so powerful and it inspires me.

3. I Don't Want To Know - Fleetwood Mac
I just recently added this bands' record 'Rumours' to my iPhone, and this is one of the songs I haven't listened to that much yet. So much for commentary!

4. Allergic (To Thoughts Of Mother Earth) - Placebo
The intro and entire instrumental to this entire song is so ridiculously Placebo and I love it. If someone asked what Placebo's sound is, it could easily be summed up in this song.

5. I Want You - Kings Of Leon
I love the rythm-section in this song! But I don't have a special bond to the song in general.

6. Paralyzed - The Used
Oh my God, this is one of the songs that gets me PSYCHED, y'all! The melody is so contagious, but having this song stuck in your head all day isn't even annoying because it's so fucking good! It also reminds me of 2008, when Hannah and I for the first time completely sold our souls to the sound of The Used.

7. No One Knows - Green Day
This is one of Green Day's older songs, and the first thing I thought when it started playing was "aww", because the song and the album (Kerplunk!) in its whole reminds me of sitting alone in my room when I was fourteen and recognizing the feelings of loneliness. Billie Joe was so young when he wrote these songs, and it kind of feels like I grew up with him for each album I listened to by them.

8. Northern Downpour - Panic! At The Disco
I love the album Pretty. Odd. I feel so happy when I listen to it, and I think that is the feeling the band intended to send out when they wrote the songs. I also find Ryans (their former guitarists) singing part very cute. I don't know. He has his own singing parts in some songs on the album, and I just think it's downright cute, haha.

9. Dead Ringer - Rise Against
This is one of the songs that I can see myself moshing like crazy to, haha. It awakes all of those feelings of rage that you keep locked inside and don't let out until you get to jump around to a song that reminds you of them at a show, to later feel completely rid of those feelings of anger, if only for a while.

10. Early Sunsets Over Monroeville - My Chemical Romance
This is an amazing song because it's so emotional. Not only because the lyrics are beautiful, but because of the way Gerard (the singer) performs them. He sounds so vulnerable and it fits perfectly to the melancholy feel of the song. I especially love the way he sings "Running away and hiding with you" and "I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight".

I recommend these songs to all of y'all, so look them up!

xo /Freeny

Day 10: Put your music player on shuffle and write the first ten songs that play [Hannah]

I'm using Spotify, with a list that's basically full of alllll bands I like and their full albums (290 tracks). Still, Spotify likes to annoy me by playing a few songs more often than others... Well, this should be interesting:

1. Papercut - Linkin Park
2. The Story - 30 Seconds To Mars
3. Teeth - Lady Gaga
4. Smother Me (+ Queso) - the Used
5. ATTACK - 30 Seconds To Mars
6. The Only Hope For Me Is You - My Chemical Romance
7. In The End - Linkin Park
8. Pretty Handsome Awkward - the Used
9. Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us - My Chemical Romance
10. By Myself - Linkin Park

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, SPOTIFY? Three goddamn Linkin Park songs??? Why now? Spotify almost never play Linkin Park when I have it on shuffle. asdfghjkl


These are all great songs though, so go listen to them!

#9: How important you think education is [Freeny]

I find education to be very resourceful and I feel that it should be in our great interest for every child on Earth to have the right to receive education. Yet the people in luck don't realize the privelige of being educated for free (in Sweden, education is for free until you reach a certain age) because our sense of reason is overshadowed by the amount of homework and stress that school induces on a teenager.

Right now, I feel beat down. As it's only a month left of school, I feel myself falter in the subjects I previously was on top in. It's tiring to have this pressure on you all the time.

However, education is what makes us know the world around us. If it wasn't for all those hours spent studying for that exam or learning those words, you wouldn't be half the person you are today. I used to think that school was bullshit and that they simply didn't understand me. Now I've realized that to accomplish your goals you have to go that extra mile, and when you do, the reward is not only the grade on your paper but gaining a deeper respect for yourself.

You'll never conquer anything with your fists, but with the knowledge you have learned to practice in your every day life.

xo /Freeny

Day 9: How important you think education is [Hannah]

I think it's extremely important. And I agree in just about everything that Freeny said so it's unnecessary to write an exact same blog entry.

With that said; I think the Swedish school system needs to change. There is way too much pressure and expectation on the kids in school today. Not only from themselves, but from teachers and parents. I don't know how it would get better though.. It only gets as hard as you make it, right?

Blah blah, education IS important, and maybe that's why it's so hard sometimes?

Day 8: What you ate today [Hannah]

I woke up really late so my entire intake today got all squashed together.

Breakfast, yoghurt and an apple and green tea :3
Lunch, a fresh salad and a quorn filet
Dinner, mashed potatoes and soy sausage

Had some snack in between but I didn't think it was necessary to write down

Day 7: Five pet peeves [Hannah]

In no particular order:

* Kids on buses or trams. They are loud. They are annoying as hell and especially in the morning when you're tired as fuck and just want some freaking peace and quiet. AND THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. Can't they just sit down and be calm and nice for one second :(


* People who walks abnormally slowly or decides that it's an awesome idea to just stop and stand in a small group and talk/be an idiot in the middle of somewhere people are walking. WHAT THE FUCK GET OUT OF MY WAY PLEASE. JUST MOVE. DON'T STAND HERE, PEOPLE ARE WALKING, I'M IN A CONSTANT HURRY AND YOU'RE RUINING MY PERFECT PACE. JUST DIE AND GTFO.


* People who complain and "brag" about a personal problem of theirs, writing on the internet about how hard it is on them etc etc etc when it's really something you just DON'T talk about like that. You are clearly just an attention whore who are fishing for pity. asdfghjkl.

* Girls at concerts, bragging about them meeting the band and everyone loves that person immediately. Can I just puke all over you? Not only because I'm jelly of you, but also because shut up. JUST SHUUUUT UUUUUUP. /Freeny knows/


* When a couple decides to make out wildly in front of me on the tram/bus. Get a room ok? It's cute and all, but seriously, I don't enjoy watching you ugly fucks eating each others faces when I just had lunch. Thanks bye.

Please note: I love exaggerating. All of the above should be taken with a grain of salt.

#7: Five pet peeves [Freeny]

- Unproper grammar.
I care a lot about spelling things correctly and putting the words in their proper order. I see people continously abuse the English language on Facebook and Twitter everyday, and I'm sitting here just like


- People who talks shit about someone they don't know.
Just because someone looks or acts a certain way when you first get to know them doesn't mean that they're bad people. If they've done nothing to really offend you, there's no use in coming up with ridiculous assumptions about them and telling everyone about them. It just makes you look bad.

- People who brag.
And then play it off as if they're not bragging at all. OH MY GOD. SHUT UP.

- When you're happy all day because Glee's on that night, and then come home to find out it's not airing.
First I'm all

and then I'm just sad


- Finding out you have a homework assignment the same day it was supposed to be handed in.


My memory really just sucks when it comes to those things.

----

So, those were some of my pet peeves. Another pet peeve I have is people who talk about their pet peeves as if they're really that bad... As if there's not enough negativity in the world already, right?

Day 6: Your views on mainstream music [Hannah]

"[...] the mainstream includes all popular culture, typically disseminated by mass media."

I don't really listen to radio, or watch mtv (except for mtv rocks sometimes) and it's mostly because I don't like the music they play (exception: mtv rock). I don't know.. Why is this 30 days challenge so hard? God damnit.

Ok. I listen to music I like. If I don't like it, I'll turn the goddamn radio off/change channel. Whatever. asdfghj. What is mainstream music anyway.

#5: Things you want to say to an ex [Freeny]

To the boys whose hearts I broke when I was five or six years old: I'm sorry. I hope you've gotten over the trauma of having me ask you to be with me only to break up with you over and over again.
I guess you kind of got back at me in middleschool when the tables turned, though.

That is all.
