Obsession

Picked up my copy of the new Harry Potter book from the post office earlier this week. Can't believe this is the last one. What will I do when I've finished reading it and the series is over? What will be my new obsession?
Ever since the first book I've wanted to live in that world of magic. I want to go to Hogwarts, I want to meet all those cool people, I want to be able to do magic too! *sigh* Why do I have such impossible dreams?
Another dream of mine is to become a writer and write something as good as Harry Potter, but I doubt I have as much imagination as J.K. Rowling. Where does she get it from?! How can a brain think of so many things? I could never write a story so complex.

Reading Harry Potter makes me wish I was british. I love how they talk, the expressions they use and that british accent (can't hear it when reading but I can imagine it). Who doesn't wanna use words like "blimey!" and "wicked!"? And they are always drinking tea. Sounds so cozy! I drink tea every other day as well but there is just something special when british people do it. "Care for a cup o' tea?"
Think I'm gonna go downstairs now and have some...

Out for a stoll

Yesterday I went for a 5 hour walk by the river with my sister. Was pretty cloudy when we set out but got sunny and quite hot later in the day. Ate some blueberries (full of healthy antioxidants) that we picked on the side of the path - yummie!
Pretty suprised to find this car wreck on the way. It's not a thing you expect to see in the forest! I wonder if it happened recently... I have a feeling it wasn't, but they should have removed the car otherwise, shouldn't they?

Hypnotic?

July 24. Walking around Kista with Karin.

Looking at this flower hurts my eyes! Depth perception failure?

Waterdrops

Miniature frogs and strawberries

Me and Karin walked to the beach the other day. On our way over there we saw miniature frogs and baby ducks. When we got to our destination we had a little picnic with pastasalad, buns, crackers and some of the yummiest strawberries I've ever had! Oishii!
Sad to say we didn't go swimming but at least we dipped out feet into the water. Cooooold. But that's the way it's supposed to be I guess. It's a Swedish summer.

Crushed

The world is against me, I'm sure of it. I want to go back to Japan and study but it seems like it's impossible. Csn won't give me a student grant because I have to study 13 weeks in a row to get qualified for it. It wouldn't have been any problems if it weren't for the month long break in december.
Would also like to work to earn some extra money but of course that's not possible either, because I can't get a working visa. #!¤)#&"%!/&/")#!!!
I hate everything right now.

Please, all the gods who are listening, help me get to where I want to be!

Okonomiyaki

Sunday I decided to treat my family to some okonomiyaki. Making them was a bit more complicated that I had expected it to be (especially making 4 at the same time) and I didn't exactly know what I was doing, but somehow they ended up tasting good anyway. At least that's what my family told me! Maybe it was all thanks to the okonomiyaki sauce?
Even tried making a Hiroshima style okonomiyaki with yakisoba noodles but of course it didn't taste as good as at a restaurant. The ham, red onion and corn one tasted the best out of the ones I made.


*Okonomiyaki is a kind of japanese omelette/pizza made with a topping of your own choice.
