About Me

Once, I saw this video on Youtube, about these dudes who RAN ON WATER! Yeah, seriously, they ran on water. Just like people used to do 2000 years ago. I think that if I could do that, the other kids would think that I'm actually cool.

Over all, I am one friendly piece of Swede.

I like making lists. Lists will never let you down. Lists are always there when you need them. Lists will be your friend for life, and always give good advice. Lists. Lists...Here is a list:

Things I do not fully enjoy

1. Snails. True story. Once, when I was little, my grandma put salt on one of them, and it just melted away! Just like the Gremlins. I believe that snails are actually a mutant to the real Gremlins, and therefore I just try to avoid them.

2. Lumbermen. It kinda speaks for itself.

3. Trees. When I was 6, because of lack of insight in Newtons laws, I decided to climb a tree, and fell and broke my wrist. Ever since that, I have tried to avoid trees. Don't let their green leaves fool you!

4. Conflicts. If someone starts yelling, that someone might just be an irrational A-hole. Or having a sandy vagina. However, get over it.

5. Cheaters. Come one, are you really gonna cheat? Playing Scrabbles?

PHILOSOPHY

"Det löser sig" (-"It will solve itself")
And if it doesn't, well it's probably not gonna be too bad. And if it is that bad, well at least I tried, and that's the most important. And if I didn't try, I was probably doing someting more interesting or exciting, so some good came out of it anyways, and that's what really matters.

Interests

1. Make lists.
2. Anything that involves food
3. Cross-words and word-puzzles
4. Fluteplaying
5. Ride bikes!
6. Read "intellectual" books which I can brag about later.
7. Languages (Next on the list - pirate english!)
8. Nintendo - I'll kick yo ass MF!
9. Donald Duck - Let's face it; He is the most genuine character that Disney created. Objections? Didn't think so.
10. Hiking - What a waste of two legs, not going out for a walk every now and then.

Music, Movies, and Books

So. I have this thing for 80's rock ballads. I stand for that. I also know the full lyrics to "Gangsta's paradise" if that tells you anything.

Books
I lik'em a lot! 1984 is a favorit.

Movies
If movies could not be longer than an hour I would be a much better person. But the more twisted the better! Harold & Maude, Requiem for a dream, Battle Royale...you know, that kinda stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've seen was my grandmother (may she rest in peace) eat a hamburger for the first time. I swear to God, she'd have been famous on Youtube if I'd had my camera.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
The basics in flute-playing
How to take a bus in Bogota AND survive it.
How to make Swedish doughnuts and other food as well

Learn
I'd like to learn naughty expressions in any language at all.
I'd also like to pitch up my coordination, so if you know how to dance I'm all in!
Secret family recipes are very welcome to my kitchen.
