make yourself shine

Heyy, svett! Digg! Jeg er så himla HYPER for tiden, trigges i tide og utide av alle forberedelsene til verdensreisen min. I kveld måtte jeg bare få utløp, så jeg løp meg en god tur. Føltes fantastisk (etterpå)! Jeg har savnet å løpe! Jeg elsker den følelsen av å komme inn etter å ha gitt jernet der ute, svett og jævlig, og så bare slenge seg på sofaen og nyte godfølelsen som din egen innsats der ute har gitt deg. Eh, min innsats i dag må jeg egentlig takke trafikken for. Jeg har, som dere vet, en egen strategi for å lure latskapen i meg: Jeg løper langs veien, sånn at jeg har publikum til treningen, for da blir det vanskeligere for meg å stoppe å løpe. Jeg må jo imponere dem! Hadde jeg løpt i skogen for meg selv, hadde jeg ikke klart å presse meg like hardt som jeg gjør når jeg vet at noen ser på. Selvdisiplinen, dere. Jeg er for lat. Det er det samme med skriving. På bloggen fungerer det nogenlunde, i dagboken min kunne håndskriften tilhørt en fireåring og ordene kommet fra en gnu. Presterer best når jeg gjør noe synlig.

Tips til treningsmusikk som gir iallfall meg lyst til å løpe ut i evigheten:

△ The very best – I wanna go (så for meg Sør-Afrika og savannen mens jeg løp, sikkert derfor den fungerte for meg)
△ Nickelback – When we stand together
△ Coldplay – Princess of China
△ Trentemøller – Miss you (vet egentlig ikke helt hvorfor den fungerte så bra, men jeg løp som en maskin da den spilte)
△ David Guetta – The Alphabeat
△ Skrillex & Damian “Jr Gong” Marley – Make it bun dem
△ Nero - Guilt
△ Klaypex – Lights
△ Popcorn – Popcorn (hehe, awesome)
△ Chase & Status – Time

God trening, superpeople! Nå er det brødskiver, mariekjeks med sjokoladetrekk og rødvin!

I ran today, felt awesome! My training-advice is to run along the road where the motorists can see you – it makes you perform better, haha. Look above for some music that makes you wanna run like there’s no tomorrow. Happy workout, superpeople!

a list of love on a tuesday

Fant en liste på en tilfeldig blogg en vakker dag, svarer på engelsk fordi spørsmålene er på engelsk og fordi… Jeg må skjerpe engelsken, verden venter jo! Enjoy!

Are you in a relationship?

Still dating that beautiful dead cherry-tree of mine <3

Are you in love?
Only with the beauty of life, freedom, dreams, and hopes. 

Are you single this year?

(Men i alle dager, så pen jeg var her!) I repeat: Still dating that beautiful dead cherry-tree of mine <3 We’ve seen each-other since year 2009. In fact… That’s my longest relationship ever! 

Are looks important in a relationship?
No no no, hey, look at me – I’m living with this weird, dead, withered tree with no green leaves at all – but our relationship is still impeccable!

No, but seriously: That depends. A good-looking guy can really take the breath out of me, but in the end – the relationship won’t work if he’s a total ass. Love can make you blind, but not braindead….. However, if his personality is breathtaking, he could look like whatever and still be stunning! So no – it isn’t really that important. 

Are relationships ever worth it? 
I’ve only been in one serious relationship with a guy as far as I concern, but I can tell it was worth it. It was a great time, and I’m full of good memories! I learned a lot about myself, about me being with someone, about heartache, feelings and love. And even though it really hurt from time to time, I’m grateful for the experience and the strength it gave me. 

Describe your perfect mate
I’ve already made my description of the per-fucking-fect man RIGHT HERE, in Norwegian. Google-translate it, dere to-tre internasjonale leserne jeg muligens kanskje har…. 

Do you ever want to get married?
My odds aren’t really that great, because my name, Brudevold, would be “Bride-violence” if I translate it into English. And that is NOT the sound of a happy marriage. 

Do you think you’ll be married in 5 years?
We’ll see about that. I think maybe I need to find a man on his knees for me first. Can anybody give me a map to that? 

Do you forgive betrayal?
Not necessarily. It depends on what the betrayal is about, and how the son of a bitch is begging for forgiveness. I think if you really love someone, you shouldn’t betray them in the first place. But everybody hurts, you just need to find that one person who’s worth the pain. 

Do you think someone is thinking about you right now?
Maybe, baby? 

Do you think you can last in a relationship for 6 months and not cheat? 
Yes, if I dedicate myself to a guy, I’m doing it completely with all my heart and soul. If I’m falling head over heels for someone, and they for me, I could never do anything to hurt them like that. 

Has someone ever written a song or poem for you? 
Haha, yes. I loved that, he wrote about our MSN-lovestory! Awh, I must find that poem and show it to you some day so we can laugh together. (Neida)

(Hahaha, joda!)

What are five ways to win your heart?
1. DO NOT toss plastic bags, or tear of the label from bottles
2. Be honest, always
3. Give me challenges 
4. Care for people around you
5. Smell good!

Would you ever date someone off of the Internet?
I kind of… Did that. Once. 

Who are five people you find attractive? 
Janove from Kaizers Orchestra, Johnny Depp, Patrick Dempsey, Wentworth Miller and Halvor (heheh). You can see the rest of my kjøttdisk (meats) here.

What is the first thing you notice in someone? 
Attitude, and then the eyes, smile and arms. I love arms! 

What is your definition of cheating? 
That moment when you cross the line that your bf/gf has for their sore hearts. As soon as anyone gets hurt by your actions with another boy/girl when you’re in a relationship, you’ve gone too far. (As long as the line is fair, of course. If your boyfriend doesn’t tolerate that you’re smiling back to a guy across the room, or refuse you to hang out with your friends who happen to be boys – he should take the whole bakery, not only a bun. You can’t just stop being you just because you’re suddenly in an “us”.)

(Er det bare meg, eller er den engelske versjonen av Supermarie, også kalt “Awesomemarie”, ubehagelig mannevond?)

What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you?
 
Just make me smile! 

What is your idea of the perfect date?
The perfect date would be the 19th of September, ’cause that’s when I’m leaving it all behind to see the world!

You’ll love me if 
…you are a dead cherry-tree. 

Jeg er håpløs.
