Ok, not much I am going to say today, but I just really needed to share this video with you. It is
an acoustic version of a song by Anouk, called Lost. It is sung by a 16-year old boy named Erlend, at a talk show on Norwegian TV. Erlend won the "Norway's got talent" competition in May. He sang this song in the final too, but I think this acoustic version is just amazing... His voice makes me cry, and the clarity of his voice is just, well guess what, I am out of words...

Other than that I am melting as the weather is hot and humid. I hate humidity! Makes me sticky. I haven't had any bugs in ears in the last days, but it still feels like I have one tickling me. I can't seem to shift that icky feeling...
I'll be back Friday with more. I am off then so...
Lovey dovey EV :-)

The most horrible thing...
... happened on the way to forum... No, It happened in my bed. I woke up cause something tickled in my ear. Only to discover that the tickle wasn't just a tickle... Ooooh noooo... It was a bloody buggery insect. I thought it was a tiny fly. It scratched and poked around in there, making a hell of a noise. I went quite hysterical and calm at the same time. Tried to remove it by tilting my head to the right and shake it a little. Nothing happened. More stracthing and poking, and PAIN! My God it was painful! I could basically feel the bastard scratching at my ear-drum... HEEELP! You wouldn't believe the noise. And that feeling of discomfort, helplessness, hysteria and fright! It felt like it was inside my brain or something. It just wouldn't stop!! I went into my bathroom and tried there for a while. I was freaking out by this stage. Fluid actually came out too... I shook my head insanely hard, to the right, and after 15 minutes the thing finally came out, looking like this:

As you can see; clearly not a tiny fly. This insect was much bigger than that! Double dip yuk! Can you believe this was in my ear not wanting to come out. When it finally plunged into my sink I cried, and I cried and I cried. I couldn't stop... It had scared me, a lot. I had heard true stories about insects causing damage like this. You know through crawling into ones ears. I couldn't go back to bed, so I turned my computer on, and here I am. It is almost 6 am now. My ear still tickles a lot, probably casue I still "think" there's something in there, plus it is
still a little painful...
Guess who's going back to bed with earplugs now? I probably have to blame Shira. The insect undoubtedly came with her. I must seriuously consider banning her from my bed during summer. Argh, I wihs my ex never permitted cats in the bed. But when I try to ban Shira, you can actually see that the cat gets depressed... Her whole being tells.
All disgusted out EV

Oh no, there she goes again, mistaking me for someone who gives a damn!
Another week gone by. I won’t mention, again, just how fast I think time flies. *lol* Ups, just did! And I will certainly NOT mention that it is close to two fecking years since I said goodbye to Bob. Holy macaroni! Am I bordering on pathetic in that department, or have I already crossed over ages ago? Let’s not answer that question. Let us just leave it hanging there, like a bad plant. Though in my heart and soul, I know the answer…I always seem to conclude with; love can never be pathetic. Oh the ponderings! I most definitely will shut my hole now.
I’ve been at Hege’s tonight. We had a good laugh. Earlier today Rønnaug and her baby girl Karen visited. Lovely to see them both. Rønnaug and I ate something that we call raisin bread, which is totally yummy, and talked a whole lot. I hadn’t realized just how much I had missed her when I didn’t see her for a few weeks. Rønnaug and I used to hang out for hours and hours when teenagers. She and I were the type of “pair” that could hang, and never tire of each other. She is also the girl I went to Ireland with the first year. It never becomes the same after one has kids and that whole package… It makes you a bit melancholic somehow. To know that things never ever will be how they used to, with friends like… I miss that, I really do. And that undoubtedly doesn’t mean that I am not happy for my friends and the lives they’ve been able to create for themselves.
Tomorrow is Norway’s National day; 17th of May. My only plan is to eat “komle” at my mum’s. I can’t wait. “Komle” is one of my absolute favourites of the Norwegian dishes. It is a marvel that those grey sticky lumps can be so un-fucking-believably gooood. Meanwhile; talking about food. My brother has been going on and on about some Thai food in Stavanger, and about one dish in particular. One day he came home with some take-away from there. It was noodles, beef, some vegetables, and topped with crunched peanuts. When I first stuck my teeth in that it was like my taste buds exploded. The tastes were indescribable and flavoursome. It was the best food I had ever eaten. I almost wanted to cry, that’s how good it was. I’ve dreamt about it since then, and I must have it again! Maybe I should send Bob a message and ask him on a Thai date. *lol* Yeah right like he would go!
I am sorry, I know the Bob thing is in fashion again on my blog. I can’t help it. For some reason I’ve thought an awful lot about him over the past weeks. He’s so incredibly handsome *sighing*
Enough! I have a bloody assignment to write as well. When is that going to happen? It needs to be very soon. Must write! Must write!

My eye

How weird to see my eye that up close from the side... But it actually turned out to be a cool picture, I think.
Here I am, yet another Sunday morning where I wasn't able to have a lie-in. I SO hoped to sleep until at least 10-11, but nooooo.... I woke up at the unholy hour; 8, with a blasted headache. Please, give me a break. I am so tired, and I need to sleep for days, or so it feels like.
We have summer temperatures here now, and yesterday was no exception. I had been out shopping some when I got a text message from Agnete. She asked would I come over and sunbathe with her, and so I did. It was insanely roasting on that veranda and garden! It was great to see Agnete! She is home visiting, since it's a Bank Holiday weekend. We had a good talk about loads of stuff. In the evening the two of us plus Møyfrid, another friend from our "gang", went to Janne. They had wine, we all had a fantastic warm salad that I hardly could stop eating, ice cream and fresh strawberries + more. It was the sort of evening I sorely needed. I went home feeling happy and giddy. I love those girls!
Work practise is going better all the time. I had my first client all alone on Wednesday. I got a new case that I alone am responsible for you see. The first meeting went quite well. I know I could probaly have cut the meeting shorter, but the woman needed someone to talk to, so I let it go...
I am sorry, but I have nothing to write about. I am severly uninspired lately, and even though I think about stuff that annoy me, make me happy, excite me etc etc, I can't find it in me to sit down and write anything about it. How sad is that. I am extremely embarrassed by the way this blog has evolved. I think it is a tragedy. Where's the spunk? I want to, again, write things I can laugh at, be proud of, and be touched and affected by. Argh! Now it is like the biggest boring blog ever!! Somebody spank me! ;-)
Oh yes, If you haven't watched the BBC series "Planet Earth", DO! I got tears in my eyes from some scenes. Amazing! They took 6 years to make it, and it shows. It takes you to places rarely seen by mankind, and it makes you fall totally in love with this planet of ours. What a magnificent planet it is.
I just want to say that I am very happy for all my blogfriends. I can't believe how great you are. Some day I hope to visit you all! I'd love that, for sure!!!
It says Saturday on the heading, but that is because Iposted sometihng last night, and then edited now... So it is Sunday...
I'll go now, for some breakfast EV :-)
BOB BOB BOB BOB...
