We're all traveling through time together

We had a party yesterday- where a total of two people came. Then we had a party with five people, and I actually got drunk for the first time in a while. Ever since my Birthday in December, I seemed to have lost the ability to drink. And coming from Norway, that's somewhat serious- we are raised to get drunk two times a week, and to not be able to say no to any kind of Alcohol. Seriously, do you know what a Beer in a nightclub in Norway costs? About the same as the cheapest bottle of vodka in the liquor store. It's a lot and I don't even want to know(Accuracy and memory have never been my strong side, and I believe there's some denial in here somewhere as well).

But ever since I got smashed on Tequila on my Birthday, I haven't been able to keep any liquor down, which made me puke neon green that one time I drank two lime Breezers and nine green shots in a row. Fancy as fuck, right? But yesterday I drank wine, and I now understand what growing up really means. It means ruining your body with hard liquor while your still young, and then  moving over to wine when you can't take any more.

(Or Margaritas when your 60, which sounds like a reasonable life goal.)

But wine isn't as bad as I thought, it got me giggling and dancing alone in the living room to Elvis. For a good 15 to 20 minutes at least. Wine also got me a free pancake at the pancake place by our apartment. Let's just say I've been there before. Now I will go back to lying on the couch again. Maybe make some pancakes of my own.

I've been out on that open road.

Yesterday I celebrated two years in Malta. I celebrated with falling asleep early. (For now..) I'm going to celebrate more next weekend with my sidekick, whom I moved here with. Were doing all the highlights of Malta, and I am so exited.



I've lived here roughly 10% of my life, and I'm secretly hoping I never have to leave. No place has shown me this much kindness, acceptance and appreciation. In Lana Del Rays' "Ride" she's talking about how "the men I met along the road were my only summer". Malta is my only summer, and even tho I love the idea of being free to do whatever I want to, and go wherever I want to, I still want to be here for now. I have a million plans and adventures waiting for me, but for now I belong here.

I came here seeking adventures and cheap thrills, and got so much more. I found a place that allowed me to be me, and to evolve into the person I want to become. I've always loved running away from everything negative, but Malta is so much more than running away from something, it's running to something, its running with someone and its running because you simply just love the wind in your hair.

"Who are you?
Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?
I have. I am fucking crazy.
But I am free."


I'm gonna swing from the chandelier

I love this song, and I love this video. It's been playing all the time at work the last week, and so I've started listening to it. And it's so addictive. I don't usually listen to "mainstream" music at home that often, as I get to hear it so much everywhere else. But I love this song.



And not only is it addictive, it also has great lyrics. 

And if Kate Moss is swinging from chandeliers, then I am as well.
