stevie nicks is a queen

"When you grow up as a girl, the world tells you the things that you are supposed to be: emotional, loving, beautiful, wanted.  And then when you are those things, the world tells you they are inferior: illogical, weak, vain, empty."

(great article about music, Stevie Nicks, equality ect.)

edinburgh

Some pics of us i Edinburgh, the last, non-rainy day! The curse of book buying was haunting us both and now today when I'm finishing up my packing it's only barely that I'm able to get everything in there... Hoping for the kindness of SAS (my bags are too heavy). Spent the day with Lilli and Dani in the sun, I will miss them so much, it's crazy. Tomorrow it's bye bye Leeds and hello Stockholm. 

yesterday I...

... posed nude, banged my nose against a foosball table and danced on a bar.

ella / leeds streetstyle!

g as in community

Ella is in Leeds and we're spending the night in, watching G som i gemenskap, the absolute finest of the Swedish 80s. I'm packing, organizing, saying goodbye to places and things. In one week I'm back. Happy and sad.

linguistics fun time wednesday

Playing linguistics memory with myself, the final push before the exam on Friday. Survived the poetry exam, tomorrow it's Shakespeare and then boom. Fortunately Emma's coming tomorrow too, so it's not only me and my trials and tribulations this week. Can't wait..

I took the winter to travel

Skinless day, somedays day. Buried in books and notes I long for summer and freedom.

finally finished

My first big knitting project, vintage pattern + shetland wool, is finally finished. It is a bit small, but hey, it works! I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and I love the colors. Yay! Unfortunately my studies are keeping me from starting the next one, can't wait until the exams are over so I can pick up my needles again. Best therapy ever.

god is great

Right Matilda?

this makes me happy

So, Lilli told me that I should write in English so that she can understand. And I will, at least until I leave Leeds. That's fair, innit? Tonight we've been out people watching in a pub called the Duck and Drake. And it was amazing. I now have a long list of crazy characters that I can and should try and sell off to a wealthy TV producer. It's the last weeks of uni and our big examinations are closing up on us. This may have been the last night of fun until after the 17th, at least for me.. Now it's me and my books and flashcards and my longing for a certain person who makes my heart beat faster. We survived this, we really did. And soon we'll have another summer, with sunsets as pretty as the one on the picture from last summer. I'm so happy I went here, I'm glad I'm going home.
