Anticipation and God

In 17 days I'll be in New York. In the mean time I'm trying to do whatever I can to get the days to go by faster. Like going to the AC/DC concert (which was abslutely awesome, hats off to 60-year-olds who can rock like that), or spending a day with my sister in Oslo, or going to my friend's cabin for a couple of days, playing basketball, or going out. Anything to forget about the countdown that is constantly in the back of my head. I even, in a moment of insanity, started reading the bible. I am without a doubt in my mind an atheist. But I think I should at least know what it is I'm not believing in, so last week I started skimming through the old testament. I quickly discovered my prejudices were all justified; it is absolutely ridiculous. I've given up for now, if I'm going to be reading fairytales I'll be reading some more interesting ones. I actually shouldn't be reading at all, I should be packing. Since I finished the Twilight saga, there's been a hole in my schedule, so I should have plenty of time. But my room is barely visible through all the cardboard boxes and the mess that is produced by my failing to organize, so I'm just gonna have to pray it will all be magically sorted out. If I slice a sheep open and burn it, maybe God will help me out.

Wow, 15 minutes less until I head off to the US.

Today's thought provoker:
Genesis 3:3 "but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "

What's going on?

And I say, Heeeey ey ey ey Heeeeey ey ey. I said hey. What's going on.

For some reason I haven't written since I came home from Iceland. Maybe not enough interesting stuff have been going on, while I've been busy planning the stuff I'll be doing. It's all approaching rapidly. I cross the Atlantic ocean in less than a month. Before that time I have to have mye entire life packed into cardboard boxes. Ugh.

Between then and now I have a few things going on to keep me busy: This Monday I will see living rock'n'roll legends, I was finally able to get myself a ticket for the big AC/DC concert in Oslo. I'm hyped about it, it's supposed to be a great show. So Tuesday I'm afraid I'll be busy trying to recover my voice. And then it's back to work for a week, my second last week of work before I'm done. Ahhh.. Done.. Sounds so good.

And then I have a week of packing, suitcases and cardboard boxes, everything I've ever owned. Arrangements have to be made for moving all of this the 260 miles to my new home. I'm spending a day with my sister in Oslo, a few days with my best friend at her cabin, and after my last week of work I'm gonna try to get a few things settled in my appartment. And then I'm off. Wow, sounds like even less time said like that, but I'm not panicking yet. I don't have time.

Oh, I almost forgot, something interesting has happened over the last few weeks, that's part of what has kept me busy too, my sister's confirmation was on Sunday! It was the nicest ceremony, with lots of food and cakes and gifts and speaches. Absolutely lovely. And we have enough leftovers to make it through the rest of the year. My mom did a great job, despite all the fretting and near hysteria. It turned out great.

And another thing that's been keeping me from the computer the last weeks; the Twilight saga. Freakin' Twilight. It is absolutely addictive. Not necessarily a masterpiece in literature, but most certainly a pageturner, and I can't seem to put the books down for any length of time. I guess there's a reason close to 50 million copies of the books have been sold. Anyway, I'm a good way into the 4th and last book, and boy, oh boy will it be good when I'm done, so I can focus properly on anything else than Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and Jacob Black..

SO, that was a little update. I'll be sure to post some pictures from the concert next week.
