Two Worlds Collide

This week has been awesome. My best friends from Sweden are in Los Angeles and I've been spending time with them. It's always so surreal for me whenever they come and visit. Every time we see each other we're much older. We lived in Hallsberg together when we were younger. Then we were split up when they moved to Uppsala, but we still visited each other whenever we had the opportunity. Then my family decided to move to the US. They have come and visited us three times since I've moved here. Hopefully I'll be able to visit them in Sweden next time <3We've been to Downtown LA (Chinatown/Little Tokyo) and the Silverlake area. We wanted to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain but we all overslept from staying up all night so we're planing on going next week (school starts for me ;_____;)!!!! Luckily my friends like roller coasters like I do ^_______^ <3

I have chopped my hair. It is very short and I'm KIND OF regretting it because it's just sooo short. What was I thinking.....

Been reading Dune. This book is filled with awesome sentences.

I hope you guys are having a good weekend so far <3

Janna Penguin

It's hot again! Everyone at home is laying down...trying to move as little as possible. I've got a slight headache from the A/C being on too much. Luckily the sun has gone down and slowly a breeze is coming through the house. I've been keeping cool with frozen yogurt. I was out with my dad earlier and he suggested it. It's funny when he asks if I want sweets because he is so against them generally...but I think he has a soft spot for ice cream. We went to Yogurtland. They have super cute Sanrio cups! The penguin is so cute <3

I've been playing a lot of Starcraft II for the past two weeks. School is starting in about a week so I want to play as much as I can now. I suck but it's so much fun. Two of my friends have been 'coaching' me and they tell me that I'm improving! My goal is to beat them...within a year hahahaha.

I bought tickets to see a Pagan metal/viking metal? band that I like called 'Moonsorrow'. They're coming to LA on the 12th of September. I'm really excited! They're from Finland...I never thought they'd come all the way over here, but finally they are~

Happy Friday everyone~

a day at the office

I was working at my parents' place today. I take care of the networking/technical issues at the office and whatever else they need help with. During our lunch break, my dad and I were experimenting with some extra pieces of plastic he had laying around. He has a small room in the kitchen where he makes molds, dental night guards, etc. It's a tiny area that's very messy, but awesome.

Hope you're week is going well~

Sunday Funday

Sunday is usually the day that I dread the most during when I got to school but during the summer, it's the complete opposite. My friend and I decided to play tennis during the day for some stupid reason. It is so incredibly hot over here right now. We were on the court for an hour and my face was already red (even though I had slathered on sunscreen..I don't burn easily). It was so hot and we had run so much that I couldn't control my breathing. The sun light reflects off the courts too...everything is so bright. I felt like I was in a sauna that I couldn't escape.

After tennis I drove to Atwater village where my other friend lives. We walked to a nearby food place called Link-n-Hops. We ordered Bratwursts and he got a beer and I got a really good pear cider. We walked to a used book store and browsed around. They are selling a lot of Harumi Murakami books for very cheap! Then we drove to Silverlake for gelato. The afternoon light was really beautiful there. I love afternoons the most.

After Silverlake, we went to his house and picked up Ponchik and walked along the LA River. The river is such a wonderful place...it's not hidden away but it sort of feels that way. When you drive on the freeway, you don't notice it. It's always very peaceful. Last night the water was moving very fast and was making a lot of noise. I didn't remember it being like that last time I was there~

Also! I kind of /sort of changed my layout. I've been wanting a small change for a while now but I was too attached to my old layout. I had it since 2008...and I still like it very much hahaha. But I just wanted to try something new and see what happens. Who knows...maybe I'll bring the old one back next week if I miss it too much!!

Have a wonderful week <3
