"I AM IN CONTROL OF MY EMOTIONS! ... Boohoo."
The door to my room has a broken lock. I guess, in a way, it's actually a bit frightening, because it sometimes works, and sometimes it doesn't. I usually lock it without thinking about it (it's the teenager's wanking habit), and now suddenly, when I go to unlock it, I can't. So I'm locked in, and the only other way out is my window. I'm on the third floor.
Luckily, I've got this pocket knife on my keychain. It's exceptionally small, and also broken and dull. The blade is all loose and it wobbles when I try to use it, and I've stabbed myself with it countless times. It doesn't even leave a mark. Anyway, I use it to pick the lock whenever this happens (a few times a day), and it mostly works. Mostly. It's actually quite fantastic, since I've never considered how a lock works. I still don't know, even if I have a faint idea. The deal with my lock is, though, that something is fucked up in there. Sometimes I have to use the knife to push pieces away in order to get my key into the lock. That's just... oops. Someday I'm going to be stuck in here. I'm lucky my dad is such a strong bloke, he'll probably be able to use some violence on the door to get open. Or off its hinges.
Also, I've fallen HARD for the Star Trek fandom. My childhood phobia for the series has worn off since long, I suppose. (This is all thanks to

... and

, too.) I've started watching The Original Series now. Just a few episodes. Spock just keeps getting better and better. To hell with Quinto, Nimoy is just YES.
Speaking of

det verkar som om du haft det surt på sistone. Jag vill göra dig glad. MEN DU FÅR VÄNTA OCH SE HUR DET SKA GÅ TILL.
Nej, jag tänker inte hyra en strippa åt dig.
My grandparents are here visiting right now. I haven't seen them in AGES. But it's their fault this week has been so fucked up, really.
They were to be here on Friday, so ALL WEEK we've been cleaning. I've actually been home "sick" THREE DAYS from school to clean. Well, two days, and I was partially sick, and partially dad wanted me to help. The third day I overslept and missed classes anyway. Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah, so, due to all the cleaning and the staying home, I've felt like it's the week before Christmas. It's just the same: lots of stressed cleaning, every corner has to be SPOTLESS, and funny business in town with dad, just like when we're out Christmas shopping, and then throw some relatives in there and mix it up.
The funny business in town were really funny. We went to leave some junk from the apartment at my dad's studio. We had a rented car, since ours has been at the shop for two weeks. (It's really messed up, all of it. Some computer thing broke because there had been COFFEE spilt on the dashboard, which had made its way into the car and completely killed it. And they replaced the wrong computer part at first. And now we have to pay for both. In dollars, I think it would be about $2300.) Then we returned the rental, walked downtown, had coffee, I bought pens and a new sketchpad, and then we went to the Mac store (I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY FINALLY OPENED ONE; THE LAST ONE CLOSED DOWN AGES AGO AND IT HAS BEEN KILLING ME NOT TO HAVE ONE. I EVEN HAVE TO TYPE ALL OF IT IN CAPS TO
REALLY EMPHASIZE THIS), and I bought Snow Leopard, which by the way is AWESOME, and marvelled at how much the new Mac store (which, BY THE WAY, does not actually have anything to do with Apple, they just sell their awesome stuff) SUCKSSSSS ASSSSSS, it's so goddamn empty, and I know this sentence is really, really long, and then we were going to go geek over airplane magazines, but dad got an SMS from the auto repair shop that the car was done, but we had to get there in twenty minutes, so we called for a cab, but it never came, so we grabbed another one that just so happened to be passing through, and we went to the shop and we got the car and we weeped over the cost of the repairs, since we don't have that kind of money anyway. End of sentence.
Everything actually seems to sucking out our money nowadays. The car breaks down (several times the last year), we have to rent a new one, the freezer shuts off for no reason and lots and lots of food is ruined, the dog rips of a claw (THE THIRD IN A YEAR) and we have to pay the vet as well, dad's computers keep breaking in funny and inventive ways, and it just goes on and on and on. We were planning to go somewhere warm during the holidays. HA. Forget that.
Also, just the SMELL of surströmming ("fermented Baltic herring") makes my mouth water. It's one of the best dishes Sweden has to offer, and I CAN'T BELIEVE SO MANY PEOPLE HATE IT. BECAUSE IT PWNS. I mean, did you think the Japanese were the only ones who had raw fish? Huh? Ours is better yet, because it has a strong smell that will remain here for a looong time. Our neighbours should actually be able to smell it, too. Most people choose to flush the leftovers down the toilet afterwards. You just... have to get it out at once or you never will.
Well, I'm sure that makes all of you want it real bad, eh?
I'll bet some people are wondering, "Huh? What? Aren't you one of those vegetarians, bitch?"
Well, when I first crossed over to the dark side all those years ago, my mum happened to have a fish-eating vegetarian co-worker, so she got it into her head that of course all vegetarians should be okay with the fish-eating and all. And then she said that if I wanted to eat vegetarian meals at home, I'd have to put up with fish every once in a while. I agreed.
There's nothing in my vego-philosophy, really, that says I can't eat fish or meat. I don't see anything wrong with it. My reasons for vegetarianism are purely ecological. In theory, I could eat meat again. But it would weird me out. I just haven't had meat in three years, and I don't need it. I don't crave it.
As I see it, meat is technically something that I could eat, but I wouldn't really consider. Like how people will eat dogs in some parts of the world. It's logical, they're food, but it's not something you'd consider here. Right? Well, I couldn't look at a cow and see food more than I do when I look at my Jack Russell terrier.
Anyway, I basically only eat fish when I'm at a relative's house (none of my grandparents seem to grasp the concept of "vegetarianism", but will agree to cook fish), and once a year when we eat surströmming. Most types of fish make my stomach turn nowadays. It's because the last time I had fish (except the surströmming), I also puked and puked and puked and puked until there was nothing left to puke. And ever since, whenever I think of fish (EXCEPT SURSTRÖMMING), I feel sick. Can't help it.
What was my point again? Oh yeah. I'm not really a vegetarian, at least not for the reasons people usually are. I'm just an idiot.
Pork is also the grossest thing in the universe. So even if I HAD to go back to meat, I'd stay away from pork. I mean, seriously, EEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
The only animal I've ever thought of eating these last three years are spiders. I saw these fried spiders on TV once. Oh, and dried insects. We had students from a school in Zimbabwe come visit us once, as well as a few teachers, and they brought some, and I didn't get to taste any because they only had a few, but I think I'd like that. I mean, it's crazy that we don't eat insects anyway, they're a great source of protein.
I've also discovered that I have an irrational fear of all shops except art stores and computer stores. I cannot explain it. All I know is, I get queasy just thinking of going to the convenience store, or going SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES. OH NOOO OOOOO OOO OO OOOHHHHHHHHASgGFDJHSDSFKJjklh
DON'T JUUUDGEE MEEEEEEEE
You know, my brother punched me (REALLY HARD) in the arm in the middle of a conversation yesterday. Out of nowhere. I went, "Oouuuchhh! What?" and he gave me a crazy face and said, in a creepy voice, "It just makes me so happy!"
The scary part is, this is actually normal behaviour for the two of us.
HAAA, MY BROTHER IS AWESOME.If you hadn't figured it out already, there was absolutely no point to this WHATSOEVER. I just wanted to rant about stuff.
