I'm a Frenger
Not Quite Friends, Not Quite Strangers is a Frenger. I may be a Frenger in your eyes. You problaby don't really know me, but because you read my blog you will get to know me and some things about my life anyway. So I won't really be a stranger in your eyes either.
You can call me Kamira, everyone does. I'm 20years old and live in Sweden. I choose to write in English so all of my friends around the world can read about everything that I have on my mind. I won't write much more about me here, you will get to know me anyway if you continue to read my blog.

2hours of doom. In 2 hours I'll be sitting in the car doing my final driver's test. I passed the theory yesterday! Oh how I felt relived! I just wanna pass this test too so I can close this Driver Chapter. It has really been a busy month!

Gonna eat breakfast now!
Countdown!
I'm writing the theory test for the Driver's License in two days. And the 3December is my final Driver's Test. I'm getting nervous now. I have some problems with left-turns on main roads with somewhat high speed. I really need to fix this. I have 3lessons 40minutes each tomorrow, but they are my last ones before the test.
I can't belive I have gotten this far! One month ago I could barely drive at all! And now I feel kinda confident when I'm driving. I hope it will all turn out OK and that I'll pass these last tests...
Please root for me! <3

Miss you!
This week just flew by without me really noticing it. I have had my hands full at the Driver's School. I don't feel it went too well today... but hey, all days can't go well all the time! It is also getting more and more difficult each day. But I have alot of fun!
I miss everyone. My family, my friends... I miss David alot. After Hannes and David left my apartment got really lonely. Lucky I have my hands full with studies!
As soon as I get the driver's license I will hopefully be more free and visit everyone more.
I have installed twitter in my Vista side bar, so I can see what everyone is up to. In some way I don't feel as lonely when I can see my sister's and brother's updates. Silly, isn't it?
Do you have twitter? Tell me your usernames so I can follow your days (read as stalk you).
My username is Mierine. (Kamira was already taken! How evil!)

REVENGE!
Yesterday I started my Driver's License Intensive Course. In 4weeks I will have my driver's license if I don't suck too much! But I will do my best. I just can not mess this up! It is waaaay too expensive to mess this up!
Today I spent the whole day at the Driver's School. I finnished one test and I'm one step closer to the license. Tomorrow will be a long day though with another test, 80minutes drive lesson and a theory lesson held by a teacher. So 9.30am-8.30pm tomorrow.
So from now on I can look forward to 80minutes drive lessons and 8hours of study at the Driver's School for 3-4weeks. I'm excited!
When I came home my neighbour had made dinner for me. That made me really happy because I was starving! My rat traps arrived today. Me and Benedicte loaded them with Euroshopper Chocolate and just half an hour later a loud BANG came from the cupboard. One dead already! Funny they like chocolate!
I hope they disappear from my life soon, they are disgusting. But when I saw it dead like that I can't help to think it is kinda cute in some way... I guess it is the poo part that are disgusting... shit in the frying pan. Eww. And they eat my food! NO ONE TOUCH MY FOOD!

MICE!
Ok, I'm really upset right now. My kitchen is full of mice shit. I have moved all my food and utensils to my living room. I'm mad. I will go crazy. Seriously. I have a CAT, why doesn't he do anything against the mice?!
I'll just go and clean up. Have a nice day. I look forward to go to sleep.

Machinarium
David bought a game yesterday. Machinarium. Oh how wonderful this game is! I'm in LOVE! I thought it was a kid's game, but if children are this clever these days I'll seriously go and drown myself in the river behind my apartment. Seriously, the small robots are making fun of my IQ.
This game has awesome graphics, cool music, hard riddles and is one of the best point-and-click riddle games I have ever played!

I just wanted to wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Friday night was celebrated with tacos, Sing Star and a game named Alias. It was kinda like a good bye party because on Saturday (yesterday) Hannes would go back home and live in Sunne again, David would go away on a movie set and film for 3weeks and I would begin my driver's license intensive course on Monday (tomorrow).
We ate good food, drank wine, ate cake and snacks. Played alot, had alot of fun and then we slept really well until the alarm clocks went off the next morning.
We followed Hannes to the train and said good bye. Some hours later a car came and picked David up and now I'm all alone again - for the first time since spring!
I'm just gonna take it easy today. Play some games and watch House MD.

Röstånga Stationhouse.
I'm really sorry that I'm terrible with the updates. Alot has happened. Worked my ass off at the Old People Home and also managed to smash in a short vacation up to North Sweden and meet my parents and some friends. Now when I had met David's parents I just had to introduce him to my parents too. It was an awesome trip, but I will have to tell you more about it later because right now I mainly update because....
... I'm just so happy now! I GOT A NEW AWESOME JOB!
At an Irish Pub/Restaurant! I'm starting the 6th of November!
I'm slowly progressing forward.
BYE BYE OLD PEOPLE HOME! I loved the people over there, both the clients and co-workers. Just hated my bosses for driving me mad. I'm gonna annoy them a bit more before they get rid of me though. Sending me off to alot of educations just to find out I have found a new job... they would kill me if they could. Gonna turn in some papers that says I have finished some of their educations and also my salary report so I get my money.
I'm REALLY looking forward to start working together with John Ryan at his restaurant. I'm really happy and thankful that he gave me this chance. I will do my best and I'm so excited!

Bye Bye Germany!
So sad. After alot of adventures like David's parents party, visiting a german church service, the visit to the Hartz mountains, strolling around Köthen town, bathing at the public bath house and meeting David's relatives it was finally time to return home to Sweden. I really didn't want to return home just yet. I would had loved to stay for a couple of more days. Time always fly by too fast! I wish I could time travel...
BYE BYE GERMANY! We will visit soon again!
David's Parent's House in Germany.
This is David's parent's home. Front door and backyard. It felt really exotic in some way. Not only because of the weather (which was really HOT!) but the whole feeling about the house was exotic. I really liked the house, the garden - yeah everything about it. It was in the middle of the city, but it didn't felt like it at all!
Front door. I love how the house is like a terrace house filled with apartments like a four-storey's house. But still like a house. (Ok, I know I confused you now).
A part of the backyard. This is the backdoor, and behind the awesome camera man is a BIG garden. Sadly no picture of it yet... (Mmm, I loved the backyard.)

Monday's trip to the Harz Mountains
Monday morning we went on a short trip to the Harz mountains. We made some quick breaks on our way over there. We stopped by a field kitchen where we bought some lunch - Gulash. It was really tasty! We were searching for wild animal meat but we ran out of luck and never found the kitchen that we had heard about which was supposed to sell that. Anyway, all food tastes better when eaten out doors and in company!
The next and final stop on our road was Thale. In Thale we took the aerial ropeway to the top of one of the mountains. There was an old amusment park and animal park which we visited. It was so much fun!
Thale town was really pretty, alot of people gathered there to visit the mountains, stroll around and climbing the assault course. Next time I visit I would like to try climbing the assault course. But it sure looked hard - but fun! Too bad I didn't take a picture of it. It was really big though so a picture wouldn't be any good anyway I guess.
The view from the mountain top was awesome! I will post a better picture later. David made an panorama of the "Mountain Theater" that it was called. They even charged money for entering this special spot where the view were the greatest. Paying for the view sounded crazy, but we paid and ooooh how beautiful the view was! Definitely worth the money! Haha.
We took a stroll in a nature reserve at the foot of the mountain.
We strolled around and sat down at the river for awhile. We put our feets in the cold water to cool them down. Icy cold! David and his parents really enjoyed the icy water, though it was a bit too cold for me so I didn't splash around as much as they did. Shortly after that we arrived at a small café where we bought Cappuccino and a really tasty cake.
After we had eaten we walked a bit more and then turned back to the car. It was a refreshing day and I was all comfy and tired so I fell asleep in the car. Really good day! I'm really greatful that they showed such a wonderful place to me!
Sunny Sunday in Germany
Sunday was REALLY HOT! Germany could as well has been Italy! I learned alot of stuff about Germany on this day. One thing being that people in Germany are really stressy. Or at least really fast! There was even a sign in the harbour that said "Welcome to the country where the people awake early!". Everyone are so fast in David's family, and all meals have to be eaten properly at 8am, 12am and tea time at 3pm and then dinner again around 6pm. Well, it's really comfy anyway. The food is awesome! David's mom is a great chef!
This day started with waking up early.
Eating a big breakfast with alot of
different cheeses, jams and Germany's special sasuages that are really tasty and spicy! The usual coffé and toasts though. Mmm.
David's family are all Christians and after the breakfast we went to church. I haven't gone to church in years I think. It was okey but maybe a bit too much for me because the sunday service was really long.
After the church we went home again and ate lunch. After lunch me and David went for a walk. He showed me around in Köthen town which is famous for it's cow farmers. So all over Köthen are cow statues in different forms. I couldn't help but think of a friend of mine named
Jonathan who works as a cow farmer
in the US.
After dinner we went to the Public Bath and swam around for a couple of hours. We also ate a really nice cake and drank great coffé at the Public Bath.
I found a really cute cow <3
This day couldn't get much better. David's siblings, Damaris and Tobias, went home. That was kinda sad, because I would had loved to hang out more with them.

I shot some cow pictures for him and here they are!
After awhile it got too hot so we went home again - and ate. (It feels like I eat all the time over here!)

Saturday's Birthday Party
The day after we arrived in Germany was a special day. David's parents, Jürgen and Angelika, celebrated their birthdays together. Alot of David's relatives came over and there was a big party. Everyone was so nice and it was easy to love all of them! I had a really great time and I enjoyed myself.
David and his siblings had made special T-shirts for their parents as a memorial of this year's vacation in Sweden. They printed their faces in the front of the T-shirt and the Nordkap statue on the back of it. It was a really fun idea that David's younger brother came up with. Tobi also made a really cool calendar of the Sweden trip! I bought cloudberry preserve for them and wrapped up the gifts. Tobi wanted to wrap them up in newspaper, but I didn't want that. Haha.
The day was really awesome. We ate great food, great cakes, great cookies, I met great people and I just had a really great time!
After the party. Tobi, Jürgen, Angelika, David and me in the living room.

Bye Bye Sweden!
Me and David left Sweden two days ago. We went to visit David's parents in Köthen, Germany.
We begun our journey 12am in Billeberga, Sweden. After travelling two hours by train and bus we arrived in Trelleborg. We had one hour before our ferry left for Rostock, so we went to a restaurant and ate some really tasty food. I chosed oven baked chicken, pasta and curry and my darling chosed meat, potatoes and redwine sauce.
After a short wait we boarded the ship and soon left for Germany! Nothing really exciting happened during the trip. We arrived in Köthen 12.30pm.
David took some nice pictures during our trip though.

Pancakes!
I felt like I wanted to do something and Benedicte asked me if I could make pancakes. Of course I was up to the task! Making pancakes for four people sure takes ALOT of time!
Almost done now~~
A special pancake for David.
All of us squeezed down in the sofa and my bed and ate at the TV table.
Days like this I really miss to have a real kitchen!
