Music Maestro!

I escaped my studies for a couple of minutes to take this personality test. It's about what my taste in music says about me.
You could do it too... ; )

My Music Personality

A new way to code your secret messages

I've started reading the amazing code book once again and yesterday I came up with my own secret code. Use translator engines online for the secrets you want to share.

Illustration with this key; Swedish to Frensh to English and back to Swedish again. That ought to do it.

Secret in Swedish: Fransmännen är rädda för att deras språk ska dö ut, men det är ingen ko på isen.

encoded to Frensh: Les Français ont peur que leur langue va mourir, mais il n'y a pas de vache sur la glace.

encoded to English: The French are afraid that their language will die, but there was no cow on ice.

encoded back to Swedish: Den franska är rädda för att deras språk kommer att dö, men det fanns ingen ko på isen.

Conclusion: I am not going to get the Nobelprice for this one either!

When Meeting New People...

What's the first thing you ask, when meeting new people?

Although completly useless, I want to know their name - only to forget it 30 minutes later:
- I'm sorry but I've got altzheimers light, what was your name again?

I'm not the slightest interested in peoples occupation/work. It doesn't say anything about a person. Just look at the people you're working with. Are you just like them?


My first question usually is

(if I'm at a private party)
- So, who do you know here?

(if there's someone I don't know)
- Who's up for some breakfast!?
[That was me attempting to joke]

- So what book are you reading at the moment?


Let me illustrate with a story from real life

Me: So, what do you do? No! Let me re-phrase, I'm not the slightest interested in what you do. What book are you reading?
He: Nothing, I don't read books.
Me: Oh... [silence]
Me: So where do you work?

Needless to say we didn't have many common grounds. But due to the book question we found out early on. And I'm greatful. Otherwise I might still be there listening to some endless chant about his work.

Peoples reading habits and what they read tells a whole lot about what kind of person you're dealing with.

Just think about when you visit peoples homes and look at their books, or lack thereof. What subjects, culture and people are the books about?

There's also always some history behind why a person keeps a book. Perhaps it's a lawbook since the person went to law-school. Or a book about Feng Shui which was a present to the owner from his/her aunt.

If you never ask, how will you ever learn if people have aunts or not?

Ideas for your Christmas Cards

I'm not the most reliable sender of christmas Cards. But this year is different and I'm an inspired sendern.
Why?
Yesterday I realized that you actually can make postcards from regular cleaning cloths.
Like this:

• Pencils for drawing on fabric
• A couple of cloths
• A few ideas on what to draw/write
• A steady hand and a set mind

Decorate the front and then write the address and message on the back of the cloth.
Staple the stamp and they're good to go.

With this Christmas Card your friends and loved
ones will think of you everytime they wash up!

I also put up my christmas tree, which (as you
can see) matches my Pink Panther just perfectly

Splendour In The Grass

I started colleting poems when I was 11. Instead of attending gym-class, and I thought it was time well spent.
Today I found another one for my collection.

What though the radiance
which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;

William Wordsworth

Vespa-life

Before I die I also want:

• To become a grandmother
• Have a cool Vespa
• Have a dog
• Plant a tree

Things I've already done on my to-do-list:

• Skydived
• Wrote a book
• Stood up for someone who couldn't stand up for themselves
• Performed on stage

Before I die...

I thought I'd collect my thoughts on things I want to do befor I die.

• I want to build a tree-house
• I want to taste stuffed Turkey

To be continued...
