Elverum-Karlstad-Stockholm
Last weekend, Uno, Eirik, Hanne and I went on a random roadtrip to Stockholm to see the Smashing Pumpkins.
We left from Elverum in the afternoon on friday, accompanied by our friend, Santa Claus.

for some reason I only ever have pictures of Eirik driving..
When we got to Karlstad, Uno got really excited. He had to show his excitement by putting a random bag handle around his head. That’s what reaaally cool people do.
Santa checks up on our car once in a while
This one is for Anna…
The next day (Saturday) we went to a recordstore. It was in a basement and had graffiti all over the place on the way downstairs. Continue reading
mail, 01
so I got back this morning from the crazy Elverum-Karlstad-Stockholm trip, and I feel like I have a lot a lot a lot to write, about how good the Pumpkins were and all, but first I am going to get some sleep and post a gorgeous picture of something I got in the mail today…
mixtape, pictures, dinosaurs, stars, hearts and broken records.. thank you [you know how lovely you are].. these kind of things make me really really really really really happy :)
converse are my favorite hiking shoes…
…for urban hiking, that is.
of course, when we were told we would be hiking this weekend, I didn’t take anyone too seriously. “walking in the mountains, huuuhuu, okay, sure”, were my last words before I got onto the bus on friday afternoon, happily throwing my backpack+sleeping bag in the luggage trunk.
We got stuck in a bit of a traffic jam (what the..? traffic in Norway? yes, it does exist, apparently) and arrived at the center/hostel around 5:30PM. we hung around, ran like maniacs to pick out rooms+roomates, played KUBB (if you haven’t played it, you haven’t experienced Norway to the fullest) and had dinner, after which we headed down to the beach (more like, the sandy shore of the lake… but yes, technically it’s a beach).
On our way there we saw a dead squirrel.
It was sad.
roadkill
writing in sand is my favorite hobby
we were lucky, because it was COLD (some people actually swam in the lake,… we just pulled up our pants and experience the ‘warm’ water only up to our knees) but the sky was almost clear.
believe it or not, it’s 9PM here
Søvassli sunset
we had a big pretty campfire to warm up our toes after playing KUBB again. Wolfgang taught us some drinking songs and we just sort of hung out before heading back up to the hostel.

basement parties
Monday was our first day at the NTNU. As a result of this, there was a big party in one of the basements at the halls to celebrate the fact that we are now more or less officially ‘norwegian’ students.
It goes without saying that at the end of the night, we just HAD to take pictures. They’re crappy pictures (webcam ones) but the most important things – happiness, tipsiness, and Ruta’s necklace on Dennis’ head – are still visible.
I like Ruta’s lamp. A lot.
I like it so much that I decided to make myself a hat out of it.
Dennis ain’t into lamps, but he likes my hair. He also likes to pretend he’s a king
And, who would have thought? – everybody likes this boy
travelling, settling down
Norwegian buses have my heart.
There’s free coffee, blankets and pillows,… and travelling at night is amazing because you get to actually experience sunsets and sunrises within three hours of each other. I was taking a billion pictures from the bus, through the glass.
I got to Elverum at 4:30 AM, a bit groggy from not having really slept at all, and Uno & Eirik came to pick me up in their pimp car. I was handed a Bjørnebryg and we drove for about an hour, talking about how it felt like time hadn’t passed at all. complete happiness, really. Once I started walking up the stairs to their apartment I immediately felt at home again, scary eh?
In the afternoon Wintermare was playing at Tømmerfløtivalen. I was proudly wearing the “Vegetarians Have More Fun” t-shirt that Hanne got me..I am still staring at it in awe, it’s so cool…!
Today was a lot of random hanging out at Finnskogen.
Uno reminds me of a russian singer in this picture
We watched Someone&someone perform, which was okay but I wasn’t in the mood..Halfway through the show I started talking to Stian’s brother and after he left and the boys joined me, we played around with an air tube, resulting in silly pictures such as:
So yeah, that’s about all that has happened up until now. I keep my camera glued to my hand, so lots of pictures will follow..the landscapes and colors are just as breathtaking as always, makes me forget how much I will start missing people once I get back to Trondheim..
