The dentist is not my friend

Major problem. My wisdom tooth on the left side decided to grow horizontally. What have I done to deserve this??!?? It's growing INTO the tooth next to it. I'll just pretend it's not happening, and that frantically washing my mouth with Listerine will make it go away. Not that Listerine will make this serious, life threatening condition go away, but denial is a pretty strong human state of mind :)

My amazing man called me today. His laugh makes me feel things I've never felt before, and I'm so grateful that he'll be safe in a matter of weeks. Actually, in exactly three weeks TODAY, he's taking me to Las Vegas :) A romantic get away after being away from each other for a little more than a year. Could I be any happier? My man is COMING HOME :)

• Aced my psychology test today

I talked to Ellinor today :) You make me happy girl! I'm waiting for you :) And you can say "cool" if Marcus says "What's up?" ;)

"Sisters from another mother" ;)

P Diddy... Duddy.. Daddy.... Doddo... whatever

I'm watching the NAACP Awards, eating carrots and studying. Exciting, huh? Beyoncé performed her new song "Halo"... I'm not completely convinced yet when it comes to that song. I think she's making it too complicated with all the high notes. It sort of takes away the simplicity and message of the lyrics. Anyway, Sean Combs (the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy) got an award and I was surprised by how humbled and truly shocked he was.... I thought he had won it all already? Could be good acting, but that's the thing, I really don't think it was... Go DIDDY!

Seal is on stage now. He can SING! I wish he wouldn't have borrowed Heidi Klums nail polish though! Nail polish or not, Seal and Heidi prove what I already knew; black and white together make some REALLY cute kids ;)

Kitchen mishap!

Sometimes I feel bad for the family that I'll have one day and the food they'll be forced to eat. An hour ago I started boiling eggs. An hour ago. That's a tiny bit too long, or what do you think? :)

The Mysterious Box - part 2

So, the box is opened! The box itself was a puzzle, and pieces of wood could be moved to unveil the hidden key hole and secret key. It wasn't just any old jewelry box, it was a riddle, in the shape of a box :) It was romantic and I loved what was in the box! I've never been given a gift like this and I'm so lucky to have found this man.
Only a few more weeks to go and then we'll be together again :)

The Mysterious Box

This is the box. Now, how do I get inside the box? :)
My man is amazing!
And what's inside the box? :):):)

Fromswedentotheusofa.com?

So, I've been thinking... Should I get my own domain? Why? Why not? What is a web hotel? Actually... I don't even know what a domain is? What do I do now? Get my own domain? Or not? Eehhh.... confused :)

Night Night!

Bedtime. It's 10.30pm and I get up at 6am every morning so I suppose this is a "reasonable" time to close my eyes. I'm hoping Marcus signs on before I turn my computer off so we can talk... that's the best way to end a day :)

One year ago today, Marcus and I said goodbye to each other in Irvine. Words cannot explain how grateful I am that this year is in the past and that he is coming home so much sooner than expected. In 17 days we have our 2 year anniversary. I HOPE we get to celebrate it together! I don't think we will, he will most likely still be in Iraq or in New Jersey in 17 days, but I can always hope for the best!

My blog will be in Swedish again once he returns from Iraq.
Godnatt!

Broke + sale = tears

Ran down to the post office to send some letters to CSN. Stopped by BCBG only to notice that they have the B E S T sale EVER! I had to throw myself out from the store, and believe me I did. No shopping for Frida!

Chris Brown - that's a big no no!

What really happened? His clean cut image doesn't really fit that of someone who beats up his girlfriend? Maybe the fame got the best of him? Or is he genuinely a violent idiot? I guess we'll see in the coming days where Mr. Brown will end up, but hearing that Rihanna is working with the LAPD to build up a case against her (former) boyfriend, he is most likely ending up behind bars. So much for "forever"..... (no pun intended)

Their young age makes it even more sad. Chris Brown, 19. Rihanna, 20.

Now, on to beauty tips!
I don't really care about hair products.... hell, I've been using Fructis for 6-7 months so that should tell you how little I care about my hair. But. When something comes along that's easy to use and really makes a difference, even I had to pick it up! Ladies, I give you...... Biosilk Silk Therapy!

Use it on towel dry hair, every day or how ever often works for you. Take a small drop in your hand, rub hands together and work through hair evenly. Be careful so you don't take too much, because this really works with only a small amount. Hair will NOT get greasy and in DAYS it gets really soft. This sounds so girly, and thus NOT very me, but this is really some CRAZY SHIT :):):) It WORKS!!!
Unfortunately for you Swedish people, this is expensive! But it's worth it.
And for all of you in the US, congratulations, it's 30 bucks and lasts for a looooong time!!

I can't wait for you to come home so we can go to the channel ;)
Love!

Happiness!

I go to school on mondays, wednesdays and fridays, so today I went up at 6am to make my way over to the Valley.
As I was driving out from the parking lot after withdrawing some money from the ATM, I had this feeling of HAPPINESS come over me. A feeling that says everything is under control and on top of that very very very good.
:)
Of course, there are always things that can get better, but it was such a nice feeling after 6 months and then some of stress and worrying about everything and nothing.
Passion!

Jamie Foxx & T.I. - Just Like Me

Like the song, like the video!
Actually, it makes me laugh out loud it's so funny :)


Just Like Me - Jamie Foxx featuring T.I.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

Yesterday was the best day in a looooooooooong time. I got a phone call from Marcus and he is coming home in 4-6 weeks!!!! I had my mind set on June, so this was such a surprise!!! I cried, jumped, screamed, laughed, cried some more... I am SO thankful that GP is coming home. Words can't explain....

Everything feels so good right now. Its hard to put into words. Not having to worry about his safety every day, and knowing that he is HERE, will be amazing.

A very happy me.
Cheeseburgers & Weightwatchers ;)
Life is beautiful!

Earthquake!

Oh my God I cannot believe what just happened. I felt a small small small earthquake a few months back but DAMN this one was BIG!!! It lasted for a few seconds, but it was VERY surreal and extremely scary. I just realized that if mother Earth wants to get rid of us now, she could.
I still dont understand that the ground that EVERYTHING is built on and we all take for granted just shook beneath me.
Go to this link, you'll see that the center of the earthquake was Marina Del Rey. Magnitude 3.4..... this is crazy.

Earthquake Map

I REALLY hope I dont have to experience this ever again.
Most likely I will though. I moved to California!
It doesnt make me feel better to read an article in the LA Times that explains that "a massive quake is overdue in California". Shit.

This is just awesome! Shake it Mr. President!

BYE BYE BUSH!!

Goodbye Sweden!

Tomorrow I leave Sweden and start a new semester at CSU Northridge. I miss California and I look forward to coming back home. That's what it feels like... going home.
I said goodbye to Vincent, Christopher and Jonathan today. It gets harder each time. I wish I could take them with me and see them grow taller and hug them everyday. I miss seeing them growing up. They are three beautiful boys, and I am so sad sometimes that I live far away from them.... I will miss you sooo much. Hopefully as they grow older it'll be cool to have an aunt living in the US :) You can come over and visit as often as you like and have the time of your life. I'll be your cool aunt and nothing you do will be known to your parents ;)

I feel the same way as I did the last time I was in Sweden.... I think the Swedish people are way too shallow and reserved. Relax! It wont kill you to say hi to the person next to you, and people usually do not bite if you sit down next to them on the train or the bus. And one more thing, eye contact is not dangerous. I swear. It's ok..... dont you worry about it. Try to say something encouraging and nice to a stranger, the good karma will come back to you and your words will light up the other persons day.
The alcohol consumption in this country should be cut in half. But then again, without the alcohol no one would have the courage to have fun or fire off a smile in another persons direction. Sad. Once again, relax!

Sweden is beautiful. When the snow falls it's sooo cozy!! It's clean and beautiful and fresh! But the ONE thing I love most about this country is my family. I really see NO other really important reason to be here. I never miss Sweden, what I miss is my family. And I miss the Flinks :)

The country where I want to be is the United States of America :) That's where I feel "at home". I really do love it. I don't know how it happened, but I think I was destined to end up there. I remember my sister once said "she was born with American blood running through her veins". I dont think there is a better way to put it. I just wish I could bring my three little boys with me to the big country in the west...

So, this was it for this time! Now I'm going home. In a few months Marcus will be back. It'll be amazing.

Hej då Sverige!
Hello there USA!

My New Years Resolution

I've never cared much about new years resolutions, but I think I need to make one this year in order to stop the vicious cycle I'm trapped in. I suppose that resolutions are meant to be kept secret, so lets just say mine has to do with stress and worrying. Excessive worrying to be exact. No more of that especially when the issue at hand isn't even a serious one. Frida, shape up!

A good place to start is realizing that my I-20 will arrive in time so that I'll be let into the US on Friday next week. What are the chances of mail disappearing? It's not like we're living in a time when "putting something in the mail" means a knight has to get up on a horse and deliver the letter personally to me months later after fighting hungry beasts and strong armies with a sword, making his way over on his four legged friend. No my friend, it should be a lot easier. To be exact, it should take 7-8 days. Then W H Y am I on day 11... almost 12?
Probably a minor delay in the post office. Nothing to worry about. (That was the new Frida speaking)

Don't worry. Be happy!
*passion*

Music

I saw Usher at Nokia Club the other day. If this tour comes to Sweden all I can say is BUY TICKETS. Only 2000 tickets per show, so be fast, it's worth the money. It was better than the big arena show in 2004. Live music is my "high" and I'm so happy to have the opportunity to live in Los Angeles where I'm surrounded by it. When the concert was over this song was played and it's one of those songs that really gets to you... or me anyway.


Usher - Hush

Ba'Bay I miss you!

Election Day!!!

OBAMA
FOR CHANGE!
If only I could vote!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
