Why are nitting loving men always thought to be gay??? Why do we judge other people??? Perhaps someone should shut down my computer now before I go nuts :)

Its sometimes tough being the only girl in the class, I adore my boys and enjoy being with them but I miss having (fun) girls around me... I have no backup when not trusted with a drill or a hammer or my advise are not taken seriously since Im just a girl (It never occurs to me that I might not know what Im talking about nonoo ;) Nobody means anything bad with it though but I keep wondering if I would be treated differently if I looked more like a truck driver. I´ve heard similar stories with many female film makers I have spoken with, its a mans job and women should just be home nitting... And when women dare to talk about it the males just accuse them of being feminists and hating men. Well Im just letting out some steam here, nothing serious, but I have to ask the big question, when will women finally be considered equals to men?

Reason for crankiness and exhaustion found and I have started taking antibiotics, nothing serious though ;) Tomorrow should be fun but a looooot of work, we will be starting to build the set for our comedy. Its going to have to look similar to Bessastaðir (the presidential residence) so its a big challenge. I cannot wait to start though since school has been a lot connected to computers in the last couple of months, very important stuff but I am very excited to get my hands dirty and start making a film again !!!

Im not being myself these days, all cranky, annoyed and stressed... last time I remember feeling this way was when I collapsed of stress in Australia when I was about to leave. I´m a good example of what stress can do to you but I´m working on feeling better... On the positive notes there are tons of fantastic stuff in my life, my class is working on a very exciting project, Edda Björgvinsdóttir (the one and only Stella í orlofi, famous actress/director in Iceland) is working with us on our final project and she has gathered a team of amazing actors (Jóhann Sigurðarson, Björgvin Franz, Steinn Ármann, Margrét Ákadóttir, Brynhildur Guðjónsdóttir (Edith Piaff)) and more). Very exciting stuff but very stressful... Today I almost died because of the script of our sit com and Murphies law but its too long and too painful to tell here... BUT my pregnant friend Ingileif has arrived to Iceland and I cannot wait to see her and her belly. And two other really close girlfriends are pregnant as well so I have a lot of reasons to be happy so Im going to snap out of it... snapping...

I just came from the hairdresser (Gulla snilla) and she did miracles on my hair with all kinds of hairstuff. Its very very soft now and my curlies are curling again, but the hair is still so short that it pretty much look like a blowball (biðukolla). I dont think blowball is the right word but Im talking about when the seeds of dandelions get all fluffy and you can blow them... well never mind, it is starting to sound pervie :)

I got hit in the face on karate practice and I have a huge bruise on my cheek... People might think I suffer from domestic violence by my sister :) She is so strong that she usually beats the crap out of me when we are one on one in practice but this one was actually not her fault...

The big skiing adventure was a bit different from the original plan... When me and Steinunn got to the mountains all the elevators were closed due to bad weather. Soooo typical... We went back to the car and had a real picnic there with hot chocholate and cheese. We decided to walk up to a small slope and go for one ride. Well, when I had squeezed myself into the 20 year old ski shoes and had walked 2 meters I felt something strange happen. The right shoe had a huge crack underneath... well I decided to continue and up we went, after a long wresle I got the shoe on the ski and I had 2 seconds of lovely skiing. Then the shoe exploded and I fell off. Me and Steinunn were rolling in the snow laughing and finally she went to get the camera. I was determined to use the whole slope so I showed some fantastic one-footed skiing moves... Then we decided to use the rest of the day and went for a ride on the Reykjanes peninsula, so amazing landscape, frozen lakes and hot springs. Fantastic :)

Im going skiing with Steinunn after school.... JEIIIIIIIIIII.... I will put on my 20 year old skiing gear and make a complete fool of myself since I have not been skiing for over 5 years (or more). BUT Im going and I cant wait :)

I will be working in Westman Islands this summer doing puffin research. YES PUFFINS !!! Someone asked me if I wasnt afraid of the bird flu but HELL NO, Im not afraid :) I might do part of my final project at shcool there so I will bring cameras and stuff with me, I am sooooo excited about this :) Talking about the bird flu, I cannot beleave how paranoid people are about it. Yes its potentially dangerous, yes its coming and yes its a bit scary... but there is no need to panick !!! Icelandic bird farmers are already killing their stock, its just rediculous, and people are afraid of eating chicken. People dont listen to the fact that you cannot get infected by eating bird meat. PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS !!!!!!

Hey, long time no see. Its been more than a year since I last blogged and then I was just back from Australia. Now my life is very different but still Im having a great time. But not having so much fun tonight, went to see Brokeback mountain in the movies... Great great film but during half the film drunk teenagers (behind us) were screaming and throwing popcorn around. I HATE teenagers !!!!!
I also noticed that ALL comments since 2002 are GONE... blogger.com has somehow erased them all... how can that happen... perhaps it was my fault, everytime I come near a computer these days something awful happens.
