They say no news is good news and while it’s not always true that getting news is BAD per se, it seems like thats how it works for me. Things have been emotionally difficult for me lately. I’ve already told you about my mums arms and neck and the hernia that’s causing it. Well, it turns out life thought it hadn’t taken a big enough dump on my mum just yet and so we’ve recently found out she has a serious heart condition. Go life!
I’ve cried a lot, and to be honest.. I’ve been thinking about what would happen if she died. Not a nice thought considering she’s only 43. Damn life.
It’s been hot here lately. The grass has turned yellow and brown and many plants have flowered and died, much faster than usually is the case. I’ve been very reluctant to make any kind of food where you have to heat things so we’ve mostly lived on boring sandwiches and pasta. Nothing exctiting at all.
I was tagged by Sarah @ vegtoveg so it seems this post will be all about me and not about the food I eat.
Here are the rules :
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post and list their names, linking to them.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs
1. I am a huge collector. I collect: journals, paper, old videogames, cups, glasses, plates, tea towels, bed linen, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, hair pins, shoes, bags, books, piggy banks, erotic novels from the 60s and 70s, old comics and stickers. Just the other day I went through my jewelry and sorted things out, there’s about 150 pairs or earrings there!
2. My absolute favourite things to do in my free time are going to flea markets, auctions, car boot sales, garage sales and markets. I find so many awesome things there. My obsession with this is what keeps our tiny flat so cluttered and kitschy.
3. I am fat and that’s ok. It bugs me so much to hear vegans talk about fat people like they don’t exist within the vegan community. I know I’m not the only fat one! Not all of us fatties follow the standard american diet, I don’t for one, I’m not even american and not all of us are unhealthy lazy slobs. I’m active, happy and healthy and that’s not going to change and neither is my fat status. I’m fat, proud and happy, how about that?
4. When I get tired at night you’d think I can’t speak.. at all. The confusion of speaking English and Swedish all day (when I’m with mum and Alex together I keep swapping) breaks out in all it’s glory at night and I say things that no normal person can understand. Alex laughs and laughs. Sometimes I just resort to grunting.
5. I love colourful make up but I rarely have the opportunity to wear it. I usually don’t wear makeup to work and I won’t put any on when I come home, but when I get the chance I break out the blue and the fuschia, gold, purple and orange. I think I look quite good in it actually, it’s all about confidence (I have plenty!) but it helps if your own colours are good with strong, bold make up.
I don’t think anyone hasn’t been tagged already, so I’m not going to tag anyone. But if you haven’t already posted this on your blog… DOOOOOO IT and let me know!
