I’d like to call this day, the 30th of December 2011, the day of accomplishments. Why? Simply because of the things that I’ve done today, both things I’ve done before, and new things.

Here’s the list:

• Tried to speak to a Japanese person -For the first time. I’ve never had a chance to use my super-tiny Japanese vocabulary before, so that was cool. Even though I was completely lost.
• Eaten reindeer -I’ve eaten that today. Never done that before, and I liked it.
•  Presented the Runic script to a non-European -That was just fun. (No, that wasn’t a Japanese person)
• Started reading a book -technically, I did it yesterday, but I’ve read more today. Reason to be happy? Yes.
• Almost lost my chance to go for a walk, but I managed it! -I’ve been outside every day for almost 2 years, and I almost lost my chance to go for a walk, but I managed to do so, which made me happy.

I’m going to become a better reader next year. That’s my very first New Year’s resolution. Reading is not something I do very often, but I want to at least try to become a better reader, and read as many books as possible.

The picture shows all my Lindquist books and the DVD for the film “Let the right one in”. The books are all in Swedish.

It’s Sunday the 18th of December. The last Sunday before Christmas, and the 2nd last of the whole year. That’s a wee bit weird, isn’t it?

To make it weirder, it’s now 00:21, and I started writing this entry 18 minutes after midnight. To make it even more funny.

It’s of course dark outside, and quite cold. The snow had melted for a few days before it snowed again. More snow, more ice.  Something that came to my mind a few days ago was the fact that “It’s safer to walk in the middle of the road than on the pavement”. All because of the ice that appeared after a period of melting and cooling. The pavements where quite dangerous to walk on, but the road was better because of the cars that had been driving there.

However, it’s not that late. The so-called “night buses”  haven’t started driving around yet. I think taking that as an argument for telling whether it’s late or not is a good idea. When you’re not asked to talk about how people feel. I’m a wee bit tired, but felt like writing something, just to give you an example about  how I feel.

But the Christmas holiday is coming up in a few days. I’m looking forward to that. Mostly for the purpose of sleeping.

Well, I don’t know why I did this, but boredom is still boredom…
