Benefits of being a bachelor

2011-12-29T00:11:00.003+01:00

One of many (!) benfits of living a bachelor life is that nobody, and by that i mean NOBODY gives a damn if you're making spaghetti in the middle of the night.

Another fantastic benefit is the feeling you feel when you take a shower ending up clean, smooth and smelling like a coconut, putting on your dads old london tee, light a couple of candles and read a great book (one day, google it) in bed with your spaghetti. The peak (!) of living a bachelor life i would be enough cocky to say.

Cons of living a bachelor life might be that ur doing all of this shit all alone and noone will ever notice either you having soft legs or you smelling coconut. But really.. who gives a toss.

.. to start bloging again.. Maybe a bad idea or maybe not, time will tell.

Though, i rather not call it bloging because it feels so.. Not me. I rather see it as some sort of diary, or logg, or.. notes. Call it whatever you wanna call it.

I practicly just do it for me, i quite enjoy going through old thoughts and to do that i kind of need them written down. And to be honest, it feels kind of lame just writing down stuff at notes in my iPhone or texteditor in my mac. Why not a real diary? Because i will never, ever (EVER) write in it. I'll do it once and thats it.

I write when i write, i write what i write and i write it just, for me. To keep me from getting schizofrenic, or become mental ill or something like that. And maybe to keep people in my life from not rather jumping of a bridge than se me open my mouth once again.

Or maybe i just do it to do something, i dont know. Maybe i do it because i feel more pretentious.. or maybe because i just need it, end of story. Maybe i write here to somehow justift my life, or feel sorry for myself. Maybe i should just shut up :)

Dont u kinda hate those who write "welcome to my blog, ive decided to blog"? Yes, i kinda fucking noticed that... So lets stop with that and get to it! I think im already is getting benefits of this writing-stuff.. If not becoming a better person, atleast its anger management (on a high level)!

Aren't people allowed to have own oppinions without getting stupid comments, you think something i think something else, this world would suck if you couldn't have your own oppinions. I hate stupid people.

you can say that you dont agree, dont say that my oppinions is wrong and that im not allowed to write what i think.

Its cool that that girl has made it that far, fun for her, i dont like her clothes anyway.

And I dont write to her saying; You dress boring and I dont like your style and you shouldnt write what you write. Like some people do to me, that is childish. I wish her good luck.

sunday.

2009-11-15T18:21:00.003+01:00

Do you know that girl, Tavi, who's 13 years old? You like her? I don't, ofc its cool how a young girl like that can attract so many persons who wants to read her blog, but that girl has no style, i dont understand why she dresses the way she does. But we all like originality. Good luck to her in the future and so on.

And this is not my apartment hehe, its our washingroom. And i live with my boyfriend.

Please notice that the video is 37minutes long!

Im cleaning the whole apartment now, feels so good when its completely clean when you're done. ANyways Im listening to the new Kent album, you can listen to it here if you have spotify. ( I like hjärta, vals för satan, sjukhus, idioter, töntarna, svarta linjer and det finns inga ord.) And if you dont like swedish music or dont have spotify you can always listen to this and enjoy the cobrasnakes pictures. Or watch the Kent live from New York video (Im gonna se them live in gothenburg in mars, I have seen Kent three times before), now I have to continue.

Bye bye readers!

shopping.

2009-11-04T23:24:00.002+01:00

I would like to own this bag. Or the real wang. But i dont use bags so often (i live next door to my school so i dont need bags to shool really). And i have a slightly different one already, without the metal ofc. Well well.

I've been trying to netshop for weeks and weeks but do never find more than one stuff on each webpage, and i refuse to pay for the shipping costs for only one item. So i havent bought anything yet :(

cinema.

2009-11-04T20:10:00.002+01:00

Hi i just saw this movie, Up! But I wish i had seen it the english version and in 3D, but that wasn't available tonight so we watched the regular swedish version. It was good but i still think it would have been better on atleast english. So cute, a scout, an old man a rare bird that likes chocolate and a dog that can speak is traveling together.

Well well, good night.

(btw, my batteries need to be recharged, and I only have like 3 rechargable batteries and i need 5 to my keyboard and mouse. So when i did this post i had to switch the only 3 working batteries from mouse to keyboard to mouse. When I thought i was done i saw that i had spelled good wrong, only one o. So i had to do it all over again. Haha, i need sleep. Now im gonna switch back to mouse!)

I think I want to change my blog name. Mostly because I feel like the name wanting to kill doesnt fit my blog anymore. I still love the song and think that the name represent many of my pictures, but it doesnt represent me. I think i have a name done, so now i only have to do it. What do you think? You think i should change name? The name will include my own name so it will be much more personal..

Tell me what you think.

Q.

2009-10-28T19:32:00.006+01:00

old photoshoot with lisa. tomorrow we'll shoot a new one, so stay tuned!!!

I picked 9 questions that have been asked lately, plus in the post that i gave you one more chance to ask something. If your question didn't became answered and you really wanted an answer, please mail me.

1. I was just wondering what camera do you use?

Canon EOS 350D

2. How could you live alone if you aren't older than 18 years? Or in sweden is different?

You can move out of your parents house whenever you want to as long as your parents aloud you to do it.

3. How come your hair grew so fast?

I use extensions.

4. This is probably been asked from you before in these question things, but what will you be when you grow up? Any dream jobs?

I dont really know exactly what i want to do. But i probably want my own company, and i want to work with beauty such as skincare, make up and haircare.

5. Why did you decide on "wanting to kill." as the name of your blog? Of all the Knife lyrics you could have referenced, why did you choose that particular one?

At the beginning of my blog i didn't post pictures but only text, so i wanted my blog to have the name High school poem, wich is a the knife song. But it was taken. I also liked the name zapata, wich is a the knife song and means shoes. The name Wanting to kill was chosen simply because i wanted a the knife song, since i love the knife, and the ones i wanted was taken, haha. But the name has inspired me and my photographs, so now i think its the perfect soundtrack to listen to when you look at my pictures.

6.Have you ever diet? tell me some tricks that you use to save your shape?

Yes I have, I was on a diet for 6 weeks that a nutritionist made for me. Basicly i stopped eating everything that taste sweet, such as suger, sweeternes and fruit. I also stopped drinking coffe, ate less salt and more vegetables and meat. I also started with dietary supplements, wich i still eat today. Otherwise i really suck at doing cardio and stuff.

7. What is your height and weight?

Im about 161cm and my weight is about 45-47kg.

8. Could you show us how you tied your hair into that hairbow?

No but this girl can!

9.Can you put a pic of the whole jacket up please?

Please mail me if you want any kind of more info about the clothes that is for sale.

The fringe are suposed to be down, but my fringe is to long to wear as a fringe, and to short to wear as a side fringe so this was a solution i had to go for. It looks better with a fringe.

We just got back from a bicykling tour. We've been to a store a couple of days ago to look at straightener but then i didn't have money so we just looked at them and the prices. Today i thought i had money so we went down (3km) by bike just to find out that there was just one left that i wanted, and that i didnt have money for it, and that she couldnt put it away so i could come back tomorrow. Bitch. Haha. So that was a struck back.

You're looking for me. But its not what you seek. Cause i've got a twisted personality.

Four questions who didn't make it the first time.

I seriously want to know how you did that effect on the photos? or was it just natural? No, it's not natural. And im sorry but my retouching is my secret, if everyone knows it, everyones pictures will look like mine. Hope you understand.

I'd like to ask: what do you want to work as after you graduate? I dont know yet. Probably work at some place to get money so I can open my own business.
and: Is there something you hate about yourself? Ofc, for example I hate my nose. And that I've gained weight.

I'm wondering if you'll you see Fever Ray or The Knife's opera live? I would love to but unfortunately I can't make it.

questions.

It is so incredebly sad.

That people can be so mean. So dumb and so shallow.

Alot of girls (and boys but mostly girls) have blogs today, and its no doubt that you can become famous because of them. And alot of people want to become famous, ofc. So alot of people have their blogs only to become famous, so they provoke and is being mean to others. Girls that only is 14 is writing about other 14 year olds sexlife, about alcohol, others money and is talking shit about people in their blogs. I mean, what the fuck is this? Is it so frikking important to become famous and to have a big blog that you hurt people, sit all night spamming other blogs to make yours on the top on lists over 'i've written most comments'. Seriously.

When you become big, you will recieve threats, people will try to harm you, people will try to destroy you, destroy your blog, they will say how ugly you are etc. Do you seriously want that?

This is so incredebly sick.

I do not want to be threatened, I do not want everyone in the world to know my name and where i live and with who i'm spending my time with. I do not want all of you readers to know who I am. And I do certainly not, want you to write how ugly I am, you can keep that to yourself.

I have my blog to post pictures that i have taken, and i dont know why. I think thats why i stopped.

My blog-life went overboard. It didnt gave me anything. But one thing that I've figured out. Is that i dont want to spend time, doing something that makes me feel bad. I want to focus on my school, on my real life, my boyfriend, my family, my friends, me. So now; thats what I do.

I might post something here when i feel like it, but not to please you readers to have something to look at everyday so you wont stop reading my blog (like i did before). But I might just not.

The hairdo in the post below is my new fav.

This is how you do it.

Curl your hair a bit, use alot of mousse and hairspray and do the same way as when you put your hair in a bun with a rubberband but now you only use hairpins to put your hair into a 'untidy' bun. Use the double hairband to hold up the hair.

a little update.

2009-08-12T19:36:00.003+02:00

I just feel that I need to write here, since there is alot going on in my life right now. I don't feel like start photographing again or be very active here. I need to be free from my blog for a longer time. But right now I just felt that I needed to write a few sentences. Maybe I will continue with that, I dont know.

As you might, or might not know, Im moving at saturday this week to Växjö. Im looking forward but also Im a little bit scared. Mostly because Im always surrounded by peope in my home, even if I dont sit down talking to my parents or siblings, they are there. And I've lived in this house for 9-10 years and it is going to be wear to not live here. I'm not moving to a place far away, but anyway. I'm also going to come home on the weekends (not every weekend though). But still it takes alot. Its pretty massive for me to 'stand on my own feet' even if my parents will help me alot.

Anyways I hope you understand, I've noticed that I dont loose so much readers, I've actually gained few. So that makes me feel a little bit better.

Thank you for your surporting comments.

Hi guys.

I have so much to do and I can't find time to photograph or dress great. I just got home from a vacation and I just can't find the creativity to continue with this blog.

Im considering deleting my lookbook and blog and only keep my flickr and facebook.

If I close the blog down i might be able to start photographing again, i dont know.

I will atleast leave the blog for a while, taking a break from it. I will continue answer if you comment.

Peace!

How to..

2009-07-02T10:40:00.002+02:00

..get rid of pimples.

How I got bad skin

I've had so many problems with my skin the last three years and have really fought to get clean and pure skin. My skin problem started in the 7th grade when i started to use make up (and was very bad on removing it). I didnt really care what kind of make up i used and i didnt care about clean hands and clean brushes etc. I also didnt care so much about removers. In the 8th grade I guess I started to care more about removing my make up. And in the 9th grade i used so many products to get pure skin that i kinda blew it up.

What to do

My new diet helped me alot, since I wasnt allowed to eat any suger or sweeteners at all. Before I ate atleast 100gram chocolate every day and very much suger in other stuff. Stop eating suger and aspartam is really great, it does work. But I also started to go without make up more often at home and be out in the sun to get a little tan instead of being white with red dots all over my face.

What not to do

BUT I did some stupid things to. I did the aspirin mask which ive written before about, and mixed it with lemon (which i shouldnt have) because I got rashes all over my face. The same happened when i used a mask purchased in a store after i had done a home made peeling with lemon in it. (I think lemon doesnt work very well with salicylic acid.)

More what to do

So, I changed my diet and started to sun more. But I also started to eat B-vitamin regularly and decreased my intake of trans fats and aspartam and other sweeteners. I wash my face every day with a make up remover/face cleanser and use a toner. Once in a while I peel my face (with purchased peelings, not home made ones. Its probably good with home made ones but I dont dare to do it anymore). And do my elizabeth arden mask.

P.S

And if you get a pimple, pop it and then put on elizabeth ardens 8 hour cream before you go to sleep. When you wake up it might be gone. Sometimes they are stubborn and then you might have to do this for a few nights. But it DOES work!! I promise.

The end

Before I couldnt show myself without make up. I looked like shit and felt so bad when I saw myself. But now I can go without make up, or a little make up and still feel great.

Ask if you want to know anything or need help. I might be able to help!

Hello.

I've got two comments about me sleeping at my boyfriends place. 1. We do not sleep completely naked. 2. In sweden there is a law saying that we are allowed to have sex whenever we want to. BUT if you are under 15 and someone have sex with you when you didnt want to, you can go to the police. Sex is not tabu in sweden, we talk alot about it in radio, tv and magazines and we joke alot about sex.

It is normal for swedish teenagers to have sex for the first time between the age of 12-17.

So you know :)

So, Im going to tell you more about that doctor I was at a few days ago. He's not a ordinary doctor but a chemist/physicist/natural doctor and he just check if all of your organs work like they should. And my adrenal gland didn't. So I had to change my diet. For three weeks I was not allowed to eat any kind of sugger, sweeternes or fructos (fruits), drink coffe or alcohol or eat so much salt. And I now feel better, but on my check up he told me that I have to continue for three more weeks so my adrenal gland will heal properly. Anyways I dont only have to change my diet but also eat alot of herbals. I eat magnesium, kalium, pantothenic, b-vitamins. Drink a special water and drink liquoric tea (wich is so disgusting).

Yesterday I was on a nutrition course to learn how to eat non toxic food and live longer etc. (you should always cook your food from the base, do not buy anything thats half done/done because it contains so much toxics and dangerus stuff. My breakfast on the picture above is a good breakfast, but i havent bought good bread yet. But the rest. Soo.. this morning i roasted sesame seeds and mixed with salt (on the sandwiches) and made a protein drink.

Proteindrink:

Seedmilk (but i used normal milk)

1 apple

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ginger

1 teaspoon L-glutamine

1/2 teaspoon ascorbid acid

1 spoon pure whey (protein powder)

And just mix with water

Ok, i've done something with my back. Again. I was walking from the bus -> home and shivered very agressive (I can do that yes) and something happened and now it hurts. Lovely.

And no my legs dont look very skinny from the side, but I'm working on that. My lovely pyjama-of-the-day (i like to wear different each day for some reason) is a tshirt that's my brothers, shorts from monki and slippers from IKEA.

Sleep tight
