Language barrier
So I speak urdu, while most people speak chinese. Chinese people don't really understand urdu, and I can't say I understand much chinese yet. And when I finally think I do, I discover I don't. The thing is that it's really difficult, because not many people speak urdu. I've only met one person who does. My best friend Hjilde speaks japanese, but she still understands most of my urdu, and I understand almost all her japanese. And we agreed on that her boyfriend speaks chinese and a almost fluently japanese.
Difficult to understand? That's because you speak CHINESE!

OH YES!

After crying my bitter tears while realizing all tickets for the Foo Fighters tour in UK was sold out, I cannot even begin to describe how fantastic it felt to make the winning bid on two tickets, for the last concert in o2 in London the 18th of november, on ebay!! This will be the eternal sunshine in my black and depressed soul. Well, at least until november... and after the concert I'll probably be all high on Dave Grohl and his fantastic voice. And before I know it it's christmas, and I'm visiting all my friends in Oslo again, and voila...I got through the year being all happy and satisfied:D At least it sounds good in theory.... anyway, I get to see Foo Fighters live, so I don't really care about anything else at the moment:P

What a great day!
As the rain forced me to spend most of this stormy saturday inside, I crawled up in bed with my laptop, ready to surf the web.
I felt inspired to read more of Sylvia Plath's poetry after watching the BBC movie documentary about her earlier today. While reading several of her poetry I came over a link of poetry inspired by S.P. Several of Hughes poems were mentioned, not surprisingly, but to my pleasure I found a "new" poet named Anne Sexton. And I simply LOVED her work. So now I hope for yet another day with lots of rain so I can spend it surfing for more new poetry by this Anne Sexton!

I thought I'd finish with a Sexton quote:
"And opening my eyes I am afraid of courseto look--this inward look that society scorns--Still I search in these woods and find nothing worsethan myself, caught between the grapes and the thorns.”
