News.

Good news:
TODAY IS GOING TO BE AMAZING. Me and 7 freaking other girls are going to see TWILIGHT. I've looked forward to this freaking movie since I knew it was coming out... which was like A YEAR AGO. Those 7 girls are Jasmine, Abi, Caitlin, Lina, Lydia, Sarah, and Ekali. Also I think that TV and Floop might go but I really have no idea. (Uh, yeah, neither of those are their real names. It's just what everyone calls them. They're actually Tianda and Filip.)

Then, Abi, Jasmine, Caitlin, Lina, and Lydia are spending the night. Here. In my apartment. Which is going to be pretty freaking awesome.

OMG. OMGOMGOMG -goes to watch the trailer for the millionth time-

Yesterday I sat my whole family down to watch the trailer together. They needed to share in my overflowing excitement. It was necessary.

News that would normally be bad news but today isn't really:
SNOW. LOTS OF IT.

COVERING STOCKHOLM.

And, I mean, if you know me at all you know I despise snow, right? Growing up in Colorado it isn't something unusual to me, just something terrible and much dreaded. But no. It's so, so unfathomably beautiful here, covering everything, that I can't hate it. And it fills me with, like, actual Winter Cheer. Not Christmas Cheer; I'm not really the type to get all excited about uncool shades of the colors red and green, and a fat guy with a beard. Nope. I just like winter right now. It's too pretty to not like.

Like, from this thing like close to where I live, I can go and look across to the water where Slussen turns into Gamla Stan and there's Djurgården right over there and all the Djurgården ferries, which yes is normally very pretty, for god's sake I can see Gröna Lund. And that is pretty cool. But right now it's all covered in white and looks like a POST CARD.

I love this city.

More good news:
Holy crap do you know where I'm going in February?

Like, Africa?

Yes, that's right.

One more freaking CONTINENT to mark off the list of seven.

I AM GOING TO MOROCCO. OR MORROCO. OR WHATEVER. I'M GOING THERE.

And it's gonna have the best food ever, and tents, and markets, and camels, and monkeys on ropes...

Oh man >< It's gonna be like Mataam Fez x 100000!!

And I LOVE Mataam Fez.

Pretty cool news:
And on the 26th of December, I'm going to Prague. Awesome. Never been there. Apparently it's almost as cheap as America, not to mention freaking beautiful and Winter Spirit/Cheer-filled.

Wheee!

Who else do you know, my American friends (my Swedish friends, I know you know like a hundred people or something) who can call going to Prague "pretty cool news"? And not be like freaking out about it and using some large chunk of their life savings or something like that?

Like, nobody?

Oh man. My life is pretty fantastic right about now.

And guess what else?

I know one thing I'm getting for Chriiiistmaaaas :D
