J'ai besion de la lune

I have a feeling my blog isn't really read by anyone anymore. I don't know why this feeling has occurred, or if it's even slightly well founded, but I have a feeling that my words have become more private all of a sudden, as if they have not been absorbed by other minds.

My friend Kristine trying to solve the knots somehow.

And strangely (or perhaps not so strangely) this doesn't bother me at all. I'm quite through with this blog myself. MMIX, or 2009 as someone choose to refer to it, has nearly come to an end, and I'm feeling relieved. Yup, relieved is the best word to use I guess, the word that describes my inner state of mind and soul at the moment. I'm so relieved that this year will finally come to an end in a few days. It's odd in a way, the turn of the year has technically not got anything special to it, it's just another day followed by another day followed by another day, restricted in time by the human made calendar. But still... it always feels like a new start to me. To me it's never just been "another day", it's always been a great turn, a new chance, and new prospects and opportunities. And I swear to whoever is out there... this January is going to be a good one! I've had enough of bad Januaries, I really think it'll have to start smirking up to me soon in order to restore its good reputation in my books.

La lune.

I think I'll have to devote another blog post to my resolutions some other time - maybe I can make it the first post in my new blog? Because yes, I've already created a new blog for myself, for next year. It's still empty though, and I'll hand out the link to people I know will have pleasure in reading my endless ramblings when the time comes. This time I'm using WordPress, it takes a while get used to it, but once you do, it's kick-ass ossum.

J'ai frois!

Also, I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas eve yesterday! Or, I guess that's my Norwegian side talking... seeing as most of my readers are of foreign origin (seen from a Norwegian perspective), you've probably spent this morning, or will spend the evening today opening wonderful little presents from family and friends and spending time with your loved ones. We're having some distant family over for dinner today, that could be interesting.

Yup, that's actually a lake.

Went for a walk earlier today with two childhood friends of mine, they were going skating (my dad wouldn't let me join, because he kept insisting that "the ice is not safe", even though it's been more than -10 degrees for a week now), and I kept them company on the way to the lake. Then I left them to their happy skating, and went back home on my own. It was really beautiful. I couldn't see the sun at all, but it was still a sort of light spreading across everywhere. The moon was already in the sky (I don't think it even leaves at all these days), and it was bloody cold - but still, I didn't freeze, which must almost be a new record for me. Applaud me, anyone?

Beautiful, neh?
