Current mood:  embarrassed
For those that have been reading my blog from the start,  know I hate rap with passion. Especially norwegian rap. Well... I still do. But this video has been going over and over on TV, and it shows some thing about Norwegian rap and music videos. And, it has gotten stuck in my head.

- Rap doesn't go fast, it's more like a slow speech thingy over here,.
- We do not copy the way americans make music videos.
- Rappers have humor.

And just to give you a hint about how small Norway is. I know three of the girls in this video.

I've had about journalism and war today. The first thing they taught us, on the official journalism school in Norway was; Do not trust the Pentagon.


I always knew the information that comes out from the government during a war is limited, but I had no idea it was this bad. Our professor said: You HAVE to realize that The Pentagon will try to direct you, and the main part of the reporting is hacking that network. And last, but not least. Always take the victims side.


PENTAGONS MEDIA STRATEGY


1. Limit the journalist physical reach of the area.

2. Deny solders and other military personell to talk to the media.

3. Harass journalists that are not a part of Pentagons program.

4. Control and limit sources.

5. Strong reaction on military personell that gives critical comments on official politics.

6. Secure articles, photo- and video from the pool.

7. Strong sanctions against journalists that does critical reporting.

8. Hold back information that can put solders in a negative light.

9. Give out wrong information and statistics about the war.

10. Make restrictions so american deaths and injuries will not be reported.

11. Make it look prettier by making myths about high technology bombing.

12. Minimalize the focus on deaths and injuries of civil people.

13 Make it look prettier by influencing the language.

14. Use media to mobilize support back home.

15 Use media as a party of the psychologic war.


This is what they teach in journalism school in Norway. My school is owned by the state. It is not left wing or anti-american.

 I'm sick.



I haven't been sick in a good while. I think it's been about a year since the last time I had fever, muscle ache and slime coming out everywhere. I'm serious. I'm disgusting. I wouldn't be around myself if I didn't have to. On top of this I have to make a newspaper this weekend. So I'm working around a lot of people. How charming I must be. I moved the trash can over to my computer at school, so I can throw all my snot-paper in there. I think I am responsible for the death of about a 20 trees after all my paper waste.

I've been sick for a few days now. And I started with toilet paper.



See, I even decided to make a picture of it, to make sure you all get what I was talking about. Yes, that's toilet paper. *nods*.

After about two rolls my nose started looking like this.



Yes, it's read, and it's soar, and it hurts to blow it. For some of you this might be something you experience a lot. But for me it's something new. A red, flaky nose is not sexy and not not very easy to hide. I'll take a big yellow zit over it any day.

To make myself happier I decided to buy some candy. But then there's a problem. I know to much. I know that if you eat sugar while sick  the bacteria will be very happy. I was picturing this happening inside me somewhere.

Bacteria 1: Ohhh... looky, sweets! brarg bragr bragr (that's bacteria sound)
Bacteria 2: Let's invite everyone brarg brarg over and have a big party! BRARG!
Bacteria 1: No, let's make it an orgy! I'm sure we can all have tons of sex and makes lot of babies. Brarg!
Bacteria 2: Yes, sugar makes my wenie go yippie! Brarg brarg.

I'm sure you got the point; sugar= happy bacteria. Ok, so no candy. So what do I buy. Vitamins! of course. That will make me better. So I bought a flask of fluid vitamins, cause swallowing stuff doesn't feel very good for my throat right now. I used to work in a health shop, and I know the recommended dose is not high enough. So I sipped the whole thing.

Recommended: 10 ml
Flask: 500 ml

The result of this was that beside the slimy head, soar throat, fever and muscle ache I got something else. Because for some reason they had decided to add some sweetener to the vitamins that works like... you guessed it laxatives. And then put the warning on in really small print!

Angry as I was I called my friends in Oslo and told her about my helplessness. When she stopped laughing she told me something that has changed my days a sicky forever. here's the answer.... *drumroll*



That's not regular Kleenex my friends. That's actually kleenex for people with soar noses. So, whenever I use this kleenex it leaves some "balsam" on my noes. I'm serious. We've sent people up in space, and we can see each other on cams over the internet. But this, this is the best invention in human history. People have thought of something for everything. I'm still sick, but at least I'm a little more comfortable.

Who Stole Feminism?: How Women Have Betrayed Women

Category: Travel and Places

Ok, let's talk about the power of sex. I just read a blog by Jimmy Ska. I haven't read much of his blogs, but the bulletin that pimped this one caught my eye.  The bulletin read "Why Women Are Sluts And Men Are Pimps???" You can read Jimmy's conclusion here.

There is a new wave of young men that actually uses his arguments (that I guess is meant as a joke from his side) to state their case. The popular belief is that feminism has gone to far. That women are master over male sexuality, and are the ones who decided when men can have sex.

It's funny that men actually think like that right now. Most of the entertainments industry is there to satisfy the male sexuality. Hookers are there to satisfy the male sexuality. And of course, the god that is porn. Not only is this degrading to women, it's degrading to men. I have a lot male friends that don't want to be looked upon as sexual monster, that want  to stick their dick into anything with two shoes. And I am no hooker, and you are no pimp. We don't sell sexual favors for money. I could go on about this, but I want to talk about the ones who do.

I was in Amsterdam earlier this year, and I was shocked by seeing the hookers lined up in the windows in the Red Light District. They stood there as if it was the most natural thing in the world. And there was a lot of them in every shape and size. In Amsterdam, prostitution is legal. The hookers are employed, and they pay taxes. I talked to some locals about prostitution. And in a company of 15 radicals, I was amazed to see I was the only one against it.

"Those women are not the smartest ones in this country. If they could do something else they would have. But they're just not smart enough. At least now they have a job", one of the guys said.

"Yeah, and think about all the frustrated men that might go out and rape some innocent woman if they didn't go to the hookers?", an other one added.

My jaw was so far down I could hardly talk. Where to start? What a twisted and sexist look upon the world? If men go and rape women, it's the man that has a problem, not the women. How twisted can the pride of the male sexuality be. That a man HAS to HAVE sex! And any thing he does to get that is maybe not totally acceptable, but it's totally understandable? Because men need sex for any price or cause?

And the hooker... she's there because she's stupid.

I tried to talk to them, I tried to tell them my side of this. They thought I was the most conservative person they had ever met. Especially when I said I think we should criminalize the customers and not the hookers. 

What do you think about prostitution. should it be legalized?

Category: Religion and Philosophy
I did something I haven't done in a long time time this saturday. I actually think it has been close to ten years since last time. After we closed up the pub saturday morning at 4 am, we stayed to have a couple of beers. I've done that before, but what I haven't done is talking about religion. A subject I usually look at as out-debated at the age of 16. Everyone has an opinion, and most people know what they believe. And they are stuck. You hear the same arguments over and over again. You throw out the same arguments over and over again... it's a circle dance you never get out of.

What was different this time is that none of us had a religion. But after about an hour I realized I was the only one that actually believe in nothing. This is the truth, I believe in NOTHING- Not an higher power, not god, buddha, allah, not a spirit, not ghost, not satan, I don't believe in a life after death, a state after death. I don't believe the people that have passed away can see me, watch over me, hear me. I don't believe in angels, and I don't believe in anything bigger than what I can see and touch.

I DO believe in people. I believe we are alive, and I believe we can do out of life whatever we want. Because I don't believe in faith, a chosen path or any other spirit that has chosen what you should do.

I don't believe what you do in life will affect what happens after, because I don't believe in any afterlife. I don't believe any god or written word should tell you how to act. I DO believe in common sense, I do believe in tact, I do believe in morals, ethics and I do believe in love. No matter how mushy that sounds.

My mum is dead. She died when I was very little. When some spiritual hypocrite tries to tell me she's watching over me. I think... my mom was no peeping tom. And yes she's dead , she's gone. I will never meet her again. She can't think, she can't see, she's nowhere in any form. That's how it is. And that's what we have to deal with. I think everything else is just fooling yourself.

When I die. I die. And my "soul" dies with me. Whatever this soul thing is. I'm not sure I believe in that either.

Am I scared of dying? Yes. I love life. Not because of some god or spirit or hope about what comes after. Because I love what I do, and I love the people around me. Right now.

Then what are we doing here, if it's not for a greater cause? We're a fine piece of machinery. Evolution has done a good job on us. But we're here out of coincidence. That's what I think. And I'm glad we are and I am.

What do you believe in?

Thanks for all the feedback on my last blog, everything is taken into consideration. Thank you so much. You're making it easier for me to get my thoughts straightened out :)

When I was a kid, I hadn't heard about Halloween. It sometimes appeared in American TV-series, but that was it. There has never been a tradition for dressing up, tricking or treating or anything like that.

When I was a kid, I hadn't heard about Valentines day. It sometimes appeared in American TV-series, but that was it. There has never been a tradition for having a day where you get force to love everyone around you.

About three years ago, Valentine came to Norway for real. For that reason I boikotted it. If anyone tries to give me something on Valentinesday I will hit them, point and laugh. I have nothing against love, and if you're going to celebrate something... love isn't to bad of a choise. But meh... If I wanted to be an American, I would move to America.

Last year at 31th of october kids started knocking my door asking for candy. First of all I didn't have any. Second;  if I had something i would have eaten it myself. Third, why should I get them candy when they don't do any effort. In Norway we have an other tradition called "julebukk" . It can be compared to tricking or treating, just without the trick. It's the week between Christams eve and New years eve. Kids dress up as small santas and go from too to door, singing, dancing, even comedy. for this they get some candy in a bag. I have no problem with that. They did an effort to entertain me. And it's our tradition.

Now you're all like... "Didn't the tile say picture blog?" And yes. I'm getting to that. This year, my class threw a halloween party... and that where my problem is. I can have morals when it coems to trick or treating and love. But When it coems to partying... I'm lost. So I gave in, dressed up and got silly drunk. They told me to dress up as something scary, so i went as the scariest thing I know. An Emo kid.

And this is an emokid that dances. Check out the red nailpolish that gave me the slashed wrist effect.

Siri and Anette as two sexy devils. (why didn't I think of something original like that)

Dildo down the pants, chest hair and sunglasses... Isn't it obvious. he's John Holmes.

Keeping the emo spirit alive. I don't look good in pale.

 

So happy Halloween or something like that. No, give me candy.

Category: Friends

I have been on and off Myspace the last couple of months. I can be on every day one week, and the next three, I'm off. Because of this I missed the departure of my dearest friend here on myspace. 

 Kit, also known as Moghdor the Destroyer.

I've gotten in touch with a lot of people here, but Kit is the only one I've really gotten to know. We have spent hours talking together. He know's stuff about me that not even my closest friends know. I've probably spent more time talking to him than I have with a lot of my friends. I know it's the internet. But there's still people at the end of the letters. And Kit is a good person. He is basically like a brother (in a weird internet 21th centry way).

This spring Kit fell down from a roof and hurt his back. Being the detective I am. I went through messages. And after about half an hour work I found his last name, then his address. I went to google search and typed "florist maryland". The same day Kit got some roses delivered on the doorstep. (yay for internet and visa) That was funky. I loved making him happy like that, with small surprises. And he deserved it. Falling down from roofs is never any fun. Not that I've tried it, but I can imagine.

This summer I was really bummed. I didn't feel like I could talk to any of my friends or my boyfriend. So I shared all my inner thoughts and shames with him, and he didn't judge me at all. (sappy and emo... Fuck it. It's allowed sometimes) I know I already said it, but I'll say it again. he's like a big brother. And if there's any reason in this world. One day we will meet and give each other a good hug, and get silly drunk. While we comment on every single person passing by... hm, maybe he was more like a sister.

He was also the second person to subscribe to my blog. (after the fabulous spilt>milk <--- that guy can spot talent :P) I still remember the first message he sent me.

"You are a funny girl, I'm subscribing"

A couple of weeks after that we started to give each other music tips, and that's when the ball started rolling. Not to brag, but.... I think 50% of the songs that have been on Kit's profile the last year has been of my influence...

It's not like he's dead. But it's weird that he's not on myspace. He was a fantastic blogger, and I'll miss to wake up and have a cup of tea while reading through his angry ramblings.

Luckily there are email and msn.. Maybe I'll send him some chocolate this time.

Ok, so I'm closing up on my one year anniversary here on myspace. I's actually only about two moths away. So my new theme is: people on myspace. '

What I want to present to you now is: The three guys I would i  have gotten to know better because of the fact, I have a feeling they are people I would probably have fallen for in real life. (because this is fake... or whatever.. no, but ya, I'm drunk. Who cares?)

 

So, let's start at the top. Why?`Because I work so out of the box. I don't want to start on the bottom. Even though the bottom isn't really the bottom. Top three is a good place to be. Unless you think I'm a whore of course. But I'm not so... Ok, Inga, stop being drunk. ( I have a feeling this blog might be deleted in the morning)

The person I really really wish I had the guts to get to know better is:

dhcmrlchtdj  

This guy is very very smart. I think he could actually challenge me. To leave comments at his blog is like asking for a death wish, cause he could actually outsmart me. I hate him for it, but I think we could have had some good discussions. Very good. And when trying to get him to bed, I would probably make an ass out of myself. Which always shows that it's  a good man. And he's hot, but that's beside the point.

GR smith II

This guys also. He writes the kind of blogs I would write if I wrote in my mother tongue. Only thing is... he's better. He's a person I really look up to. I seldom comment his blogs because I can't do then justice.

 

A

This guy is someone I KNOW I would have a good time with. I hardly know him, but I still KNOW: I very seldom use caps lock, but there's a time for everything. And this is one of those times.

The funny thing is. None of this guys would have expected this.

Go look them up. They are worth it.

A few weeks ago I left the cold and dark place that is Bodø, and traveled to the town of sin. Yes, I've been to

Amsterdam. I did see both hookers and coffe shoops, but I did only do one of the two.

 

My reason for being there is more nerdy than you could ever imagine. For those who have already read my blogs for a while, you know I've been playing the online sensation that is World of Warcraft. I'm in what we call a guild. My friends like to call it a clan. I call it Ripspawn. A group of players that spend a big amount of their time playing together. After about six months, with an average of an hour daily talking and playing with these guys. We decided to meet up. And yes, we did call each other by our in game names. Which means that people ended up calling me Whatever the whole weekend. Fun fun fun.

 

I was expecting; pale, fat, pimples, glasses and a big love for coca cola and doritos. 

 

I was wrong. This is what nerds look like:

 

 

Yarr... had an awesome time. Being back in Bodø has been a big smack in the face. Not only do I miss my dad and friends back home. I miss Amsterdam as well. I have only fell in love with a city once before. That was NYC, and I moved there. So there's only one thing to do. Move to Amsterdam, as soon as I'm done with school.

 

If you want to get inspired, Amsterdam is the place. Order tickets now. I'll come down and show you around.

Category: Romance and Relationships

It's been about two moths since Dennis and I broke up. And I have basically been living in celibacy ever since.  Ok, two months isn't that long. And it's not even the sex I miss (ok, maybe I little), it's the cuddle. This is where Morten comes in. My super duper perfect guy! Who ofcourse is gay...

Over the past six week we have been like girlfriend and boyfriend, erm.. maybe more like girlfriend and girlfriend. Just with some more cuddle. We talk for ages on the phone. We miss eachother.  I even get jealous if he talks to other girls. And I've me his parents.They took me out for this great dinner, and we laughed and talked. Almost felt like being a couple. They have now invited me to visit them this summer. I wonder if his parents are pretending we're a couple aswell....

 As both Morten and I just got out of some serious relationships I think we're both comfterable with the situation.

Well, Morten isn't presisely living in celibacy. As he's better than me picking up random guys.And a part our relationship consists of me listening to how big of a dick his latest catch had. But believe me. I'm not bitter. Who neds sex, not me! Ok, maybe a tad bitter... but it will wear off. Hopefully.

When I left school last night Morten yelled after me.

"Don't get me to drunk, I have been known for fucking girls after some tequila."

Yeah right. After he applied their eyeshadow...?

If you thought I was normal, that will probably change after this blog. I have a huge fear, flying. I know what You're thinking. Flying? Like every second person is scared of flying. But I'm not talking a little nervous. Every time I get on a plane I think I'm going to die. I cry, I get panic attacks. So every friend that has traveled with me, swear to never do it again.


I haven't always been scared of flying. I've Been flying to the USA and back by myself about 20 times when i lived there. I've been all over Europe. I've lived in the Ukraine. And every summer me and my dad went down to the mediterranean to swim. Back then I just spent the flight eating all the candy from the tax free shop and watching the in flight movies. Those days are over.


People that are not scared of flying always tries to tell you facts about planes. And the ALWAYS ALWAY say: "Look at the pilot." So what? Who cares about the pilot (except for the fact that he has my life in his hands, andcould drive me straight into the ground of he had a bad day). The thing is, peoplethat are scared of flying know everything there is to know about planes. It's like having an eating disorder, you read everything you can get your hands on about planes and safety. If there's a plane crash somewhere, you're glued to the TV thinking what it looked like in the cabin just minutes before the crash.


- What are you scared of. If it crashes, there's nothing you can do!


- Thanks a lot!


WEll, some of my fears are ok, but some of them are kind of weird.


- Plane will explode in the air. This is my biggest fear. And what's so scary about it. is that it will happen so fast, that i will not even have time to think. So every plane ride. I count down from 10 to 1 in my head. When i get to one I start over from ten, and I replace the 1 with the "word" BOOM. Sick?


- The wings will fall off. I know this is not possible. Did you know that the wings on planes are so bendable they can meet at the top and still not break? I'm still scared though.


- Birdstrikes. Yes, that's what the pilots call it. Birds that get into the engine. My friends Thomas is a pilot. he has stopped going out drinking with me, because he's tired of asking questions. I ones asked him how many birdstrikes each type of airplane could handle...


- The pilot decides to kill himself. Erm. Wives of pilots can not cheat, their children can't die and they're parents do not get cancer. If that pilot has a bad day and thinks "What the fuck, I'm ending this". he will take me with him. Maybe I should start bringing the pilot some muffins.


- Crashing with another plane. I know this is not very common. But the news show how close it is almost every day. I once saw a plane from the plane I was in. If that had been now, I think I would have fainted. Planes go sofast, so if you see another plane. It's not even seconds until you'll crash.


- Technical problems. Yeah, the standard. The engines doesn't work and you crash and die. THE END.


- When you land, you can't find the earth. This is the only fear I have never met anyone else who has. And I think it's because... I dunno. But how weird would it be, if the pilot was trying to land and he couldn't find the earth, because it's gone!


So why am i writing all of this. Well. Next week I will have to take no less that four plane rides. It's been one and a half year since last time. I've been putting it off as long as possible because of my fear of flying. I live in Bodø now, if I want to take the train home I have to be on a train for 18 hours. The plane take an hour and a half. I just have to get real. So wish me luck.


Thank god I have my valium.

I wrote this blog about a week ago. Because the wonderful Cheryl tagged me. I'm one of the people that write my blogs right into the myspace window (you don't say?), so Myspace decided it had to dissapear. So it did, but now I'm writing it again... except, not as long.


So, the tagging game is; that you have to tell six things about yourself. So, here we go.


1. I'm in radio class right now, and should pay attention, because I'm not fit for radio. It's weird really, because I love TV and I love writing. Radio I can't do. I will make a serious podcast soon to show you.

Today my radio teacher actually said "I think Inga is the only one who totally failed today."
I'm so ashamed.


2. I'm going to Belgium and Holland in two weeks to meet people I've met on the internet. Geeky and scary. I'll do my best not to get raped and killed.
To be honest I'm not that worried, I'm looking forward to meeting some funny and smart people. My next stop will be NYC.


3. I have 56 pair of underwear. Some people like purses, I like underwear.


4. Sinse I moved to Bodø, I've eaten 2 kg macaroni. it's my dinner every single night. Sometimes when I'm really good to myself I add some cheese or ketchup. Sometimes even both. I think every noutritian will agree that's not a good diet. But I'm young, I'll live. Hopefully...


5. Elections is to me, what the superball is to America. I try not to talk to much about politics, because I know a lot of people find it boring. But if there's election somewhere I buy popcorn, beer and can watch tv for ages and ages. If it's in Norway, England or US I'm known for bringing a mini TV to school to see how it goes. Sick? I know.


6. I spend to much time online. Way to much... Oh, you already knew that, did ya? Erm... ok, I ran out of ideas.



So that's it. Sinse I did the tagging game before I will not tag new people this time. Coming with a nice pictureblog soon :)

Category: Jobs, Work, Careers

Two weeks ago I was sobbing about how scared I was up here. Just to let you know, that has changed. After three days of sulking I got a hold of myself. Now I'm the editor of the student newspaper, I drink way to much beer, I have to many new people on my messenger and I've started working as a bartender in a rock pub. Yes, give Inga two weeks and she has it all figured out.

I started the job at the pub this weekend, and since one of their bouncers were sick, they asked if I could step in. Not knowing the city, the drinking pattern of the people, or the 6000 people that were visiting to town to attend the music festival... I said yes.

Friday night they give me a huge jacket and ask if i want to put on a bulletproof vest underneath. It was big and heavy, and I don't really remember anyone being shot in Bodø. So I decided to test my luck and drop it. The jacket was big enough as it was. Something the drunk guests also noticed.

Drunk man: Are you a bouncer, or are you just pretending to be?

Me: No, I just like to stand around.

Drunk man: *short laughter* You know it looks like you have 20kg boodie and 60 kg jacket there.

*more laughter from the line.*

I swear I had a good comeback, but I forgot. I might not have had one to be honest.

During the night I had to kick out 5 people. All of then guys two heads taller than me and  twice as wide shoulders than me. It's amazing how easy it is. What's really amazing is how much a girl can say to a drunk guy as long as she smiles. I also started giving everyone I asked to go a hug. That made them happy. I think I might ask if I can be reserve bouncer even though I'm just supposed to work in the bar.

Drunk people are cattle.
