Away AFK

I'm going to be quite inactive here for a while due to me being in Lithuania!

Already been here for 5 days and I haven't told anyone about it.

It's really nice here, although the heat is absolutely killing me!!

Recently it got a bit cooler, which is nice but the wind isn't helping at all.

What I can tell you right now is that I have FINALLY, after so long, cut off my hair.

*Crowd screaming*

I know I know, like any other person might say, ''why would you cut that beauty!?''

The thing is, it started to get extremely difficult for me to have that length.

The weight on my head was unbearable and the tangles were enormous. 

I didn't cut it super short, I cut it to the length I think I know I can handle. 

Which is a bit medium length now.

Not only did I cut it, but also dyed it!

I stumbled on a hairdresser that was a bit concerned about me hair, she didn't want to ruin it completely due to the fact that I never dyed my hair before, never cut it, so she had no idea how my hair would react.

Instead of coloring it all bleach blond, she did some thick highlights that brightened my hair.

I didn't quite enjoy it.

Not the way it looks, but the fact that my hair is too healthy and I can barely do anything with it! XD

Although I'm enjoying it a little bit now, even though I'm planning on redyeing it in the future.

I can kind of understand why she didn't want to dye my hair blonde completely, nobody ever wants to ruin healthy hair.

When I get back to Sweden, there is going to be a loooot of stories of what I have done before I went to Lithuania, a little bit more about my graduation and of course, I am going to receive the answers from Uni soon. I'm quite stressed about it and wondering how it went. 

Either way I am hoping things are gonna be good.

That's all for now! <3

Graduation

It finally happened.

Today is the day I graduated!

I feel so happy but at the same time so sad.

Even through all those struggles in school, studies and project and life getting in the way, my class were the ones who made it all better.

I never had a class like that before, who's accepting and understanding in that way and I gotta say I learned a lot from them!

The celebration was amazing. I had a blast! There was music, dancing and pure out LOVE from everyone, including other classes. I made a few videos about the performances and the truck rides, I will add them later on because I still need to edit them and cut them and glue them and what not.

Before the celebration everyone met outside the school for some drinks, snacks catching up and sometimes a little tear. We had fun and laughed and we then we received class name tags. It was extremely excited and funny how everyone received their class name tags. Some had such hilarious ones! I was happy when I got mine. It says ''Classes Artist'' I literally puffed my chest up, waved at them all and said ''Finally! My art has been recognized and acknowledged!'' It was very heart warming to get these class tags, it's a way of naming a person in one word that you knew for 3 years that describes them in so many ways. 1 word that contains 1000 words. 

 And then there is of course the throat screaming truck.

In Sweden, you ride in a back of a caravan or truck that is being pulled by a huge vehicle with a decided class poster and some music to make the ride more awesome.

Party party and what not!

''If you think labor market is tragic, you should see our absence/attendance.''

Our class was lame at always showing up in time. 5, 10, 30 minutes late. Perhaps even an hour or two. To tell you the truth, many of my classmates, even TODAY, came a little late, but juuuuust in time!

 One of the most memorable times of the day was when I saw one of my ''before-friend'' coming towards the truck and waving to me. Our friendship kind of broke a few months back. When I saw him, I gave him a pouting upset look, but when I saw his face I couldn't help but smile and wave, so that he could drop that sadness and smile back.

He came near the truck to congratulate me on my graduation and gave me a little bag with a gift in it. It was heart warming. That even after such a long time, he hasn't forgotten me.

That's where when it was time for a reuniting fist bump.

I literally pulled my shoulder after that, but it was worth it for getting a good friend back.

What I learned from my class, life and my parents, is that everyone deserves a chance, be it one or one-thousand. A chance to make it all better between each other even if it's a raging flame of lava.

Gonna have to do some catching up to do with these peeps!

And one other thing, if you care about someone, don't ever ever EVER give up on them.

Watch them from afar but never leave them and always stretch a helping hand.

''Do those things to people, that you want to be done to you'' - My Mom. <3

''Do good to people so that they can do good to you'' - My Mom <3

(It is hard to translate from Lithuanian to English, especially that incredible sentence)

After such a huge celebration, I admit it, I'm tired. My make-up was running, my hair was fluffing, my eyes were falling.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I only had 4 hours of sleep!

The tension was getting to me!

After the celebration I've spent some lovely time with my parents, eating at an Asian restaurant and just bonding with them. I've had a whole new view of things, life and my parents. Right now I just have a huge need to be around them. Now that I have a chance I hope I will!

My parents also gave me my own, private photo-shoot <3

 Sassy <3

Rock that hat! Ah-Rock it haaaard!

 All pictures where taken near the waterfall in Vindeln

And then of course, every Princess, needs a King <3

My beloved Dad.

Worlds best Dad! Love you! 

And of course, my beautiful Queen <3

I love you Mom <3

You're the strongest person I know <3

 A few little gifts I got from my family and friends <3

Not all of them fit in the little table there but I'll bring you guys up for a close-up later!

 And of COURSE, I had to take a picture of my lovely graduation hat!

It has all the beautiful words of my beloved classmates inside <3

 So.

Graduation?

It feels great.

But at the same time,

Sad.

I still have so many regrets.

So many things I haven't done or said.

Never managed to open up.

But I guess all of that taught me that if I won't risk it, I won't brisk it.

But I can't dwell on it.

I gotta move forward.

And one things for sure, I feel FREE!

(Thanks Dad for the amazing pictures! <3)

Tortures Vacation

So.

It's a week off from school and it all started so great!

Until I ended up at my orthodontist.

I got my lower jaw braces. Fun, yay.

I thought I can handle the pain and all but then I kept biting of my brackets during the process, so they placed this blue goo in my mouth and I can't bite.

Not chew.

It's like having a pencil in your mouth all day long!

GAH!

I'm stuck with soup, porridge, no meat!

So, gonna be a vegetarian for 8 weeks,

I hope I'll survive.

I'm a 100% carnivore xD

I haven't been so active lately but that's mostly because of school, and shockingly, university.

I've been searching for universities for the past few months and it's so stressful I need to play games to be able to lock myself out of here.

And now, currently I'm in pain from my braces, doing something fun is quite hard when it comes to... Agony xD

I'll try to be more active! I'm getting cool new stuff soon, so until then I'll be a bit slow! 

USA, a quite interesting place

I haven't made a new post for a while telling you guys what I saw and did the in States, but I was sooo busy going everywhere I barely had any time! Whenever I was not going anywhere, I spent some time with my cousins. I came back to Sweden a few days ago, wanted to post something here, but I got germs from my parents, so I'm sick -.-

Normally I don't get sick but now I have NO idea what happened that I managed to get sick XD

Well granted, I was living with my sick parents for 2 weeks in the same house, and in the same room, same car.... It was BOUND to happen!

What I can say what I did was - NEW YORK.

Yes yes yes, I've been in New York and BOY it was a place to see!


 The Lovely Empire State Building!!! 

A picture of New York Center from the tourbuss

Lovely Sunsent view of New York from Brooklyn

New York at night time. Sadly it wasn't that dark since the day lasts longer in summer.

Probably you may find this picture just ''nice'', I find it AWESOME. Why? Because my childhoods TV show called ''F.R.I.E.N.D.S'' was filmen in this street and they lived in this building!

CHINA TOWN!!

So many people in New York...

This is the boat we took to see the statue of liberty

This was made by the jets! Which was AWESOME

Manhattan Bridge!

Statue Of Liberty <333

New York! <3

Michaels Arts and Crafts is probably THE BEST SHOP I SAW IN MY LIFE!

Decorative fabric rolls <3

MARBLES!

We went to petco to buy some fish food.

I WANT ONE <33

This is Antoinette!! She's my aunts dog. She's quite a lovely dog, although she is blind with one eye. French Bulldog. She's pretty old, yet she LOVES to play ball. I called her ''Dog Breath'' the last days since she kept breathing into my mouth XD oh and, she's a licker, she'd lick your leg with no hesitation. If you run, she's run after you no matter what XD

Wanted to try the ice-cream in New York. Was, prett goooood!

Look...At.. These.. POLISH!

This is from the 9/11 memorial. All the names of the dead were written here. But this was the only one I saw that shocked me...

HOW cake looks like in the states.... OTHER COUNTRIES SHOULD TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS! NOT CREATING LAME BORING CAKES LIKE THEY DO HERE IN SWEDEN!

Doritos was the famous chips in the states. Cool Ranch was my fave!

This is called ''Gelato'' and it's.. SO GOOD!

THIS is the stuff that I bought in the states!

Ignore the lame placing and awful pics, I am still sick and I just wanted to take the pics quickly and get back to bed....

I remember I got footies like these on Christmas. I loved them SO much I used them EVERYDAY. And now they are old and stinky. So I bought new ones in the states!

TIGHTS! <333 Couldn't help myself but buy these. I LOVE the color!

 

From the 9/11 Memorial. We donated and got this <3

This tea is AMAZING and one little tea bag can be used 3 times.
Drinking Cherry now! It's GOOD!

I made this dog tag in the Space Museum in Washington. It has my real name on it XD And my birthday >.<

The literally have FUZZ inside!

Got this for free in an Turkish Shop from buying long dresses and ACTUALLY fit me!
This is a bunny ring holder <333

NAILPOLISH! The pink one is now my moms XD

Got this from Michaels!

These three books are like ''Costume Matrix'' that help me with my drawing!

 Although this book is a biiiiit different!

Bought a PERFECT size sketchbook for myself! Not too big, not too small!

This is a DESIGNER bag I got from my lovely aunt! The pricetag was still on.. I WAS SHOCKED!

This is yet ANOTHER designer purse I got from my aunts sister-in-law. She was a very lovely lady! She put like 8 bags on her bed and told me and my mom to choose one each.. I HAD to pick this one! It's PERFECT! <3333

Probably the best hoodie EVER!

I also bought books. I wanted to have a full series of Darren Shan books. SADLY when I was in the second hand store, they didn't have ALL of the series, the books were SO cheap, I HAD to buy the ones that were there. I'm missing 1, 3, 4, 8 and 10. I'll probably buy them later on somewhere on Ebay or something!

After running around in the lugages to find my stuff, I found this shirt my dad bought for himself and I GOT MAD!
EVERYONE knows the famous phrase ''Don't OPEN Dead INSIDE''!
DAD DIDN'T EVEN KNOW!
It was the WALKIND DEAD!
AAAH!
I got mad at him and told him I don't want him to wear this shirt UNTIL he sees the walking dead!
Even if he won't like it, he HAS to!
I don't want my dadto be walking with the walking dead shirt without even ATLEAST seing it! >.<

I DO have way more stuff I bought, but they haven't been yet unpacked, they are everywhere and it's pretty hard to find! But these were the most fav ones evah!

I'll be going to Lithuania in a few weeks now, and probably gonna buy some nice stuff there too! <3333
