Ex’s…or “I really need someone who can put me in my place

So, my ex got married. It kinda hurts, but only because I’m still single and have been ever since we broke up. I know it’s not a competition, it’s more finding a person suited for you and who follows God, but I really would have liked being first.

We were great together, except for the fact he wasn’t a christian. Kind of a big deal, but at that time I wasn’t smart enough. Also, he was not strong enough for me. Not in the physical sense but mentally. He avoided so many argumentations. My roommate at that time told me, after we broke up, that he had confided some in her and had told her that it was easier to let me have my way with things rather than to question me. So I realized that I need a mentally strong man who will question me and tell me when I have gone too far. But this is just a wish. Sadly I can not be too picky as good christian men doesn’t grow on trees these days. But I have learnt one lesson. He needs to be an active follower of Christ. Otherwise I’d rather be single!

Steven Curtis Chapman…

It all started while I was about 17. I had a friend in gymnasium who listened a lot to him and we were going together with a bunch of others to a christian music festival. I can’t remember if it was The gospel Globe Festival or Connection. Anyway, my friend had lent me a CD saying “This is a great artist, you need to hear this”. This was SCC’s Heaven in the real world. I had no idea what kind of impact this man would have on my life. We went there, but there was some disappointment. He had canceled due to personal reasons. I think it was his father/grandfather who had passed away. Michael W Smith was one of the other musicians and of course I had no idea who he was either. Anyway, I kept on listening to SCC and in 2008 it was time again. He was to come to the Swedish christian music festival Gullbrannafestivalen. But again, he had to cancel due to personal reasons and this time it was his daughter. It was a real family tragedy so I can perfectly understand the decision! You can read more about it here (swe)or here (eng). Now, this spring, we try again and I pray to God so hard that He will let us take part of one of the best christian musician and not bring another misfortune unto SCC and family.

SCC have made 17 albums, received  5 grammies, 56 Dove Awards and have had 46 no 1 hits on american hitlists. I have tried to gather all albums, but still have a few left. Every time I listen to a song I discover something new, some small expression that speak to me, to where I am in my life at just that moment. So I can never listen to much to any of his songs, and that makes him a great singer/songwriter to me. So to be able to go to this concert is a pretty big thing for me. And from what I have heard, seen and read from other concerts, he shares, worships with us and speaks many truths. This is going to be a great day! April 27th, can’t wait til I get there!

Empty home…

So, now my dear friend has left. We have lived together twice and known each other for quite some time. And now she has gone back home. I didn’t see much of her this second time cause we had different life cycles, but it was nice knowing someone else was at home even though I wasn’t. It was a while ago I lived with others, so I had forgotten how to be flexible, but that was not hard to remember. :-) Miss you!!! I really hope you come back soon!

Symaskin-skin-skin syma-ma-ma-ma-maskin…

Har fått en Husqvarna 2000 i julklapp!!! Så bra! Nu slipper jag nagga mamma om uppläggningar, lagningar och lappningar. Nu räcker det med att jag kan ringa och rådfråga vid problem… Har lagat jeans förut, men det är ändå lite kul att få göra det på min alldeles egna symaskin. Har lagat två par jeans idag och det gick riktigt bra. Fick bara lite trådtrassel, men då var det bara provlappar så det gjorde inte så mycket. Kommer snart att få sy upp lite gardiner eller liknande. Måste köpa in ett tungt och tjockt tyg att hänga innanför min ytterdörr för jag har så lyhört och har fått plocka upp allt från mitt förråd för de ska göra nya förråd, burvarianten. Jag har ju loftsäng så under loftet står nu en massa kartonger och annat som jag sparar, men vill nog ha något att hänga för där också. Känns lite trist om det ska synas om man har besök…Jaja, nu blir det sova, imorgon väntar städ, skypekonferens och så ska jag hjälpa en kompis med att flytta. Blir nog mest att packa upp då jag inte riktigt känner att jag ska bära och ta i efter avramlingen förra veckan. Dansade i torsdags…JA, jag har ju kommit med på fortsättningskursen i lindyhopp!!!, iaf så dansade jag i torsdag och det känns i ryggen…Och så kommer Steven CC till Sverige!!!! Min vår blir nog rätt bra :D

A simple tournament…

So today me and a bunch of other people arranged our first Starcraft 2 tournament. We had it at the internet cafe Vasa Gaming. I have to say that it was pretty successful. We had 22 players and from what I heard, Vasa Gaming has tried to have tournaments but only had like 8 participants. We ran into a lot of trouble, but managed to solve it and some mishap happened but that is expected for the first time. We have set a new date for the next tournament and I am really excited about it :-)
