The Real Princess Diaries

Celebrity Look-A-Like

2009-06-30T10:19:00.000-07:00

Have you ever been told you look like a celebrity? It’s a very peculiar thing isn’t it? To be told who you look similar to. In a way it’s the ultimate way of seeing how other people view you, in a totally superficial way of course. However, someone can look like a person but not at the same time. Like twins, who look the same, but one is more ecstatically beautiful and the other is not. For one I look like my dad, even I can see that, but I most certainly do not look like a 60 year old man (Right?!). There was this one time, in Magaluf (yees, tacky I know. I was young, don’t hold it against me), some random British lad told me I looked like a cross between Victoria Beckham and Jordan (???????). What is that? Was he hoping to get lucky with that line. Well lets just say, I would never.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

However, my sister-in-law once told me that I kind of reminded her of Chloe Sevigny. This was the first, yet not the last time someone made this comment about me. I can see where they are coming from, we do have some similarities. I don’t know if we really look alike, but I do know I wouldn’t mind my wardrobe to looking like hers! She is one freakin cool chick!

I am an Animal!

2009-06-30T09:09:00.000-07:00

I love me some animals, although I tend to be more scared than loving when I first meet one. Its never quite love at first sight between me and our furry friends. It takes me a while to get comfortable, but when that time comes I am all good..I guess you could call me timid, and even a bit shy. I have to feel my way, so see if I actually like this animal. Do we have anything in common? How is the cuddling? How far can it really go? Is it a caged animal, because I stear away from those. Wild, too dependent, too agressive, not agressive enough? There are lots of questions to be answered, but in the end nothing beats a nice pet! Or am I still talking about animals???

My favorite animal is the goat. Trustworthy, cute and quiet yet strong and independent! I want one..like now.

But remember, we must be kind to our friends!!

Old School Glamour.

2009-06-29T09:28:00.000-07:00

I was watching an old movie with my dad, and it got me thinking. Women just aren’t classy in the same way they used be. Now, I know I am a bad example, a girl who has spent most of her life adoring sports, of course I’m not very glam. But even the celebrities and movie stars are not the way they used to be. Back in the day they looked effortlessly beautiful, and always so womanly. Everything was thought of, and there was never a strand of hair out of place. To me the definition of glamour is simple, only two words: Grace Kelly, the late princess of Monaco.

The lack of poise is probably due to the constant attention that they experience, making it impossible to portray the kind of glamour the stars used to exhibit. It may not be physically possible, because in the end of the day they are just like the rest of us. Just a bit more well off and maybe better looking. Maybe it’s a good thing, because I think girls everywhere would struggle to look like the stars of yesterday. However, just because their time has passed and time has changed, we can still appreciate their beauty and elegance.

Elisabeth Taylor

Marilyn Monroe
Grace Kelly

The closest thing today, in my opinion, is Kate Winslet.

I'M BACK!

2009-06-14T12:18:00.000-07:00

So after a looong break I am ready to give the blogging another chance!

Popping the champagne..

2009-01-22T02:19:00.000-08:00

To quote Miss Carrie Bradshaw: "Isen't delayed gratification the definition of maturity?". I have been waiting a long time, and its finally time for some gratification. Yesterday some girls from uni came over and we popped the champagne. Now I go to London..First stop: East London!

Waiting for tonight..

2009-01-21T02:57:00.000-08:00

Today, at three I will be free! Wow the lyrics are flowing hahaha. I have my last exam today, sports medicine. Then I am heading to a pub on campus to celebrate with some people on my course. Later my friend Matt, whom I have not seen in ageees, is coming down. We are going to Terry's for some take away.

Tomorrow I am heading to London (to see the girl in the pic: Stephanie). Yay!

My Bloody Valentine 3D

2009-01-18T13:39:00.000-08:00

Me and my housemate Ruth went to see the scariest 3D movie ever! It was soo good. What was even better was the funky fresh glasses we got. We had to do a photoshoot on the way back...HOT DAMN

Forever21 Love..

2009-01-17T04:10:00.000-08:00

I really like these outfits, especially the first one. However I am going to London next week, after my exam so I will see if i can get some nice stuff there before ordering online. All the items are on www.forever21.com

Black and Whiteness

2009-01-14T01:10:00.001-08:00

Study outfit

2009-01-14T00:54:00.000-08:00

Does this make me look smart?

One down, two to go!

2009-01-13T06:07:00.000-08:00

My day today

9.30-11.30 : Physiology of Sport Performance Exam (I have repressed the memory already)

11.30-12.00: Library searching for books on psychology

12.00-12.30: Top Shop retail therapy

13.00-14.00: Lunch with Ine at TGI, spent complaining about exams

Now until forever (when i go to sleep) studying for psychology.

Sex and the city therapy

2009-01-11T11:15:00.000-08:00

I need some serious relaxing down time spending the whole day reading about blood pressure, muscle fibres and creating a mastery climate in a sport setting. I love this movie, I mean the outfits alone is art! It makes me miss my gals in Norway already. I have good friends all over the place, but my gang in Norway is similar to the SAC girls. We can talk about everything, and boy do we. You never know what topics will come up over a couple of glasses of wine. Many of my friends aspire to be like these girls, especially Carrie and Samantha. Personally I don't get it. I think Carrie is too weak and I don't believe any girl can be like Samantha. Yet I do love the series and the movie, its like watching the life you know you will never have. Do you want to be like them?

I have a new project going on. My girl Steph asked me to be her personal trainer (I am not a qualified trainer..yet). So I am going to start making a great program for her! My ribs have finally healed and as soon as she gets back to Bath we can start working. When I asked what she wanted, she was quick and consise: Britney "I am a slave for you" abs. Bring on the pilates!!

Bye bye Norway.

2009-01-08T10:04:00.001-08:00

The lovely city of Bath Tomorrow morning I am heading back to England. Next stop for Siv: Bath! Fortunatly I will be back in Norway already in Feb!! Weyhey!

Waffle House.

2009-01-08T09:45:00.000-08:00

Some of my friends invited me down to theirs for some delish waffles. The first one didn't come out that great, but it tasted like a waffle. It got me thinking though, of my days as a high school student. Back when I was a junior living in Gainesville Florida (GO GATORS!) we always used to go to Waffle house. Whenever we had been out to a party, or just a sleepover, we would often stop by for some niiice breakfast. Thank god for the places that are open 24hours a day. I have some great memories of us, still half drunk or very hungover, sitting in a booth next to Hot truckers (aren't they always soo goodlooking..haha). Those were the days, when I was a naive 16 year old girl..now I am 21 year old naive girl still getting excited by the thought of Waffles. Come to think of it, it was never about the waffles and its still not.

Huh??

2009-01-05T08:34:00.000-08:00

I am really confused right now. It is officially one week until my first exam and I don't even know what exam it is..I am stuggling. You know that feeling when you have too much in your head and it feels like you have nothing in your head? Its all a big moosh. That is how I feel right now. And I haven't even started to revise for sports psychology. Oh dear, how will this end? I hate university..I wish I had some skill or talent that does not require studying!!

Well this quote seems to cheer me up lately. Its Ludacris from the TI song On top of the world "celebrating coming from nothing to winning grammys and rappers winning oscars, and they say rappers shouldnt act nahh suckers, we see samuel jackson like whats up mother fuckerrr" Such beautiful words!

BagLady..

2009-01-04T08:06:00.000-08:00

This is what it looks like to live out of a suitcase, and be messy at the same time..

Since my room was such a mess, I ventured into the bag room. I found bags I had totally forgotten. I took some pics of a few of them. They have all lived wonderful lives, however now they are stashed away. When my niese is old enough I will take her there and she can have her pic of bags! I HEART bags.... Quicksilver

2009 is here!

2009-01-03T11:10:00.000-08:00

I think this will be the best year..ever!...Until 2010 of course. You can't beat the winter olympics in Vancouver (Ahhh LOVE) and the World Cup in South Africa in one year...

Climate Change

2008-12-29T12:19:00.000-08:00

With the current financial situaiton in the world, everyone has forgot about the greenhouse effect...this weekend I went to the mountain but there was so little snow. My dad said that he has never seen it be like this at this time of year. We had to go way backcountry in order to find somewhere to ride. I don't know if it's just this year, I don't know if it will get worse but I know that I don't like it. Let's go green people!

Cabin Fever!

2008-12-27T07:25:00.000-08:00

I am heading to my cabin for some much need rest..no wait no rest at all. I am going there to snowboard and revise for my exams, which are coming up way too quickly! Have a great weekend people..

Party Party

2008-12-27T07:19:00.000-08:00

The 26th of December is a prime going out day. Everyone is out, and yesterday I was as well. It was a crazy night as usual, and i met lots of old friends. Sweet! Instead of posting some pics of my outfit I wanted to post one of my friend Stine. I mean WOW, Isent she beautiful??

So that was christmas 2008!

2008-12-25T09:40:00.001-08:00

I hope everyone had a great christmas, because I def did! I got lots of nice things, and people liked what I got them. The food was great, and it was so nice to see the fam again. Especially nice to see my cousin, she even dedicated a post to me. Its shit when we live in two different countries, I dont get to be a part of the everyday life. (My cousins blog: http://linnka.blogg.no/ note this is in norwegian!) Now I am looking forward to tomorrow night, another night out with the girls and then I am going snowboarding this weekend! Yay. I just hope my ribs heal in time for that. Merry Christmas everyone!!

Here are some of the things I got this year:

Merry Little Christmas Eve!

2008-12-23T02:31:00.000-08:00

I love layers! In this coldness layers is key to keep warm. Today its little christmas eve! Yay! I can't wait for tomorrow, not for the gifts but for the food. Oh dear I shall eat! And then eat some more. Today I am heading to town to get the last gifts, I always end up doing it the last minute and I am also meeting a friend for lunch. Should be good fun!

Merry Christmas Peeps!

Recovery.

2008-12-22T05:57:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics of my outfit on sat, sorry about the shit quality!

I find that as I get older, it takes longer to recover from a night out. Saturday was great. The food was amazing, the girls were beautiful and the convo was funny! There were even some tears of joy. At about 1.30 we decided to leave and go out, we got a taxi and went to Silver. There we only had time for a quick pee, one drink and one dance. Then we headed to McDonalds for some late night greasy food. And then we walked home, I love living downtown! I just want to say thanks for a great night girlies! Bring on friday!

Christmas dinner/Julebord!

2008-12-20T09:05:00.001-08:00

Tonight I am going to a christmas dinner with the gals. It has become some what of a tradition, and I love it. We (in all 9) are all students, and living in different places and different countries. Its nice to really spend some time when everyone is home. However this year we are missing Anbjørg! We love you sweetcheeks!! This year Tonje (in the red thingy) is hosting the party. She is leaving us! She is going to Costa Rica for 8 months, the lucky girl. Lise is going to Australia for a semester, Anbjørg lives in Egypt and I will be going back to England. So I am really excited for good food, nice drinks and amazing company. These are really my girls, I have even known Mariette since before I could speak! Childhood friends become grown-up friends (as soon as grow up that is..) Guess which ass is mine!

Big BergN!

2008-12-19T07:20:00.000-08:00

Honey, I'm home!! I have officially landed (arrived with a train) in Bergen. Today I am going to spend some time with the fam! That always important quality time.

Peace

To Siv From Santa!

I got myself some x-mas presents! Weyhey. I think I deserve them, after the amount of work I have done and since I have 3 exams waiting for me after christmas. The hoodie, which I have in green, is my new favorite thing in the world! Love it! And the hat is HOT, its a boys model but who cares. Its nice being a girl as we can buy boys and girls stuff innit?? Sweetness!

Today I am finally heading home! I am doing the train, seen as I feel like I spend way too much time in airports and on airplanes already. I hate the security..It annoys me so much to have to take off all my fake bling! Because you know that shit will beep like crazy. So I am planning on doing some good hours of work on the train. I am even going First class, check me out. BERGEN here I come!!!

Peace out peeps.

I love my Life!

2008-12-17T02:24:00.000-08:00

I love my life, it is great. I left England saturday and went to Hamar with my friend Ine. There we spent some days in the slopes! It was amazing, because there were so few people it felt like we had Hafjell for ourselves. I have also improved my style a lot, however I had a little set back when I was switching my stance and managed to fracture some ribs..ahaha. It is a bit painful to breath and laugh and I cannot sleep on my tummy which sucks other than that its fine. I am used to injuries. Now I am in the capital with my brother. I will be spending my time shopping for christmas presents and looking for a outfit for the christmas party with the girls. I was thinking a Diesel dress? They have the hottest dresses nowadays! I still dont have a camera so no pics, but I think santa might give me a cam for christmas..because afterall I am a good girl!

Here is some of the things i want for x-mas (all from asos.co.uk):

Diesel

I am trying to do my psychology work, but its just not working. So I am watching some snowboarding online instead. Only a week left! Yesterday I had a christmas meal with my team, which was really nice. Gotta love that curry! mmmmmmmm

Peace.

Citizen of the World..

2008-12-03T02:41:00.001-08:00

I have lived in Connecticut, Florida, Bergen and now Bath. I tend to fall in love with new places, and I am wondering where to go next? There are so many places I love, and I have added some pics of my favorite places. Vancouver next? Maybe Switzerland? I love London, but I am a not a London girl. I will always have ties to the city, but I am way too laid back for that lifestyle. I just need a a place where I can chill. Late at night I dream of waking up in Colorado..It is truly the perfect place. I can hike, bike, snowboard and ski. Can you ask for anything more?

Play nice girls!!

2008-12-02T09:14:00.000-08:00

I am sick, silly..That is what you get for staying out all night in London. I never learn. So I have spent the day in bed, complaining to my mummy on the phone. Do you not feel you miss your parents way more when you are sick?? I have been doing work and watching tv. Soooo boring....However when I was reading one of my favorite blogs, I started thinking (Link:http://www.christina-sin.blogspot.com/). This girl had gotten a comment on her "big" calves. And this girl is tiny and even if she wasn't who cares what size her legs are? How come some girls have to be rude to other girls? Some of the nicest compliments I have gotten in my life have been from girls. I love going to the toilets when I am out, because I have the best conversations with random girls about our outfits or whatever! I myself am a proud member of the big booty club, and towering 5foot9 the booty is pretty big..But I love it, and there is nothing you can say to make me be less proud! Many years of playing football has gone into that piece of ASS!!

Please realise you do not have to put anyone down to feel good about yourself. We need to stop comparing ourself to others, the only person you should be compared to is yourself. Be the best you can be girlies and remember; play nicely!!!

Music: I am crazy for the new Solange (B's little sister) song: Sandcastle disco! Check it out!

Sorry!

2008-12-01T07:42:00.000-08:00

Okay, I know its been ages since last time I blogged. Not good. I have been really busy, with uni work and social stuff. And my camera is broken, so there arent that many pics! But I will be better now.

So only two more weeks and I am going home! Well I am going to Norway. I will be going to Hamar, to friend Ine. There we are chillin, doing some boarding! Should be amazing. I love that part of the country. Stopping by Lillehammer, for a meal with my sweet Lise. Then I am heading to Oslo for some quality time with my brother. And then, finally, it is home to Bergen to see my mummy and daddy! Yay!

So I was in London this weekend. Oh my god was it crazy. Saturday was spent shopping. This is some of the stuff I got:

A new The north face parka..It is HUGE!

Skinny jeans in blue and red

New seablue shoes

A yellow statement bag

Shiny Tights! Sooo hot i cannot believe it..

Some christmas gifts
+++ lots of stuff I cannot remember now ahha

The saturday night was Estelle concert! She was great, so cool. And after the concert we headed to a bar, and then to Matter in the O2 arena. We jumped the que seen as my friends knew the owner. It was huge! If you are ever in London, head to Matter. Amazing! Had the best time, and spent only 3 pounds the whole night...So many funny stories like the Russian who told me he could buy me anything I wanted in the world, the guy with the pink wig (does it look good on me?) and the skaters whom I had a long discussion: who is cooler, Kevin Pearce or Shaun White...We didn't agree, but he was sweet.

The pics are from saturday and my scandinavian society social in Bristol last week!

Germany-England!

2008-11-19T13:21:00.001-08:00

Boredom has reached new heights! Me and one of my housemates Ruth have been chillin in the yard for ages, yes. There is always trouble around when we are together! We've bin doin our work, and watching my dawgs play some footy. And I aint impressed...England just aint that good! Going out tomorrow! yay!!!!

I have some bad news, as my precious Lemna is now at the vets. He has fluid in his lungs, but nobody knows how it happend. Two possible scenarios: He managed to electrocute himself..or its due to him being an inbred. His parents happen to be sister and brother.......

I miss my home!

2008-11-18T12:51:00.000-08:00

Okay so I am being a bit emo at the moment. I think it might be due to the mountain of work I have to get done the next 4 weeks and the fact that I really miss my home..as in home country, home as in house and home as in family and friends. I do Love me some Norway. The end is getting near, and as the christmas decorations come up I find myself dreaming away. Ah the smell of mummys food on the stove, the fireplace lit and everyone coming home for christmas. I just hope there will be snow on christmas eve this year..nothing makes it more special than loads of snow! I have already started listening to Mariah Careys "All I want for christmas is you" There is no better song to get me in that holiday mood...The pics are from last christmas break, hope you enjoy it!

I miss my friends!

2008-11-17T11:10:00.000-08:00

I have friends from all over the world, and today I just want to dedicate a "I miss you" blog to my friend Katie. She is partying it up in Australia while we are stuck in rainy England. I miss going out with you sweets!! Hope you are having a great time at home, and dont forget about us babe!

Today was totally uneventful, seen as I didnt make it to any of my lectures because my housemate is still not back..I have no chance, getting to Uni on my own..But last night I went to see the new movie "Zazh and Miri make a porno". It was way funny, but so graphic. Still a bit shocked hahaha

Google Her, Baby!

2008-11-16T04:18:00.001-08:00

I Love Teyana Taylor. She has a wicked style and fresh music. With songs like Google me, Boy You and Me and Really Got it Bad she brings something new to the music biz. I can't believe she is only 16! And who discovered this girl? Mr. Pharrell Williams himself, and you can't argue with him..

Kitty!

2008-11-15T02:40:00.000-08:00

I am left on my own in Bath..My friends are either in London, Norway, Florida or at a Kanye West concert! So its only me left, well almost. I did have great time last night at my friends house. But for next two days I have the kitty to hangout with so thought I might post some pics. This is Lemna, also called Kit. How cute is he?? And he likes to chill with a bottle of wine from time to time..

Please excuse the horrible t-shirt, it was carnage and you have to wear it to get into the club..Have a great saturday peeps!

Weekend = No Party

2008-11-14T07:58:00.000-08:00

Well it's finally the weekend, yet for me that does not mean party party. That is one of the downsides of being a student at one of the best uni's in England. My weekend is going to consist of doing biomechanics, writing a chapter on how to be a good coach for sports psychology and preparing for a presentation on creatine supplementation in elderly men..Does that sound like fun?? However I am going to allow myself some fun stuff. Tonight I am going to my norwegian friends house for take away and a movie..sweet!

Since there is no party hardy I will add some photos of the days when i could party hardy..

Glasses.

2008-11-13T07:27:00.000-08:00

I really want some BIG geeky glasses, to go with my geeky self. In boring, conservative Bath there is none to be found. But I am going to London soon enough, and luckily I have great contacts to show me great shops...Hopefully I come back all geeked up!

Finally!

2008-11-12T20:20:00.000-08:00

I have finally made a blog, something I wanted to do since like forever. I always thought I had nothing to write, nothing to contribute. I still don't have anything to say, but one good thing about getting older is that you stop worrying so much and just do it. It might not be fun for you but it sure is fun for me! HOT DAMN

By the way you can easily wear sunglasses despite no sun..
