( All the questions! )

Question 03 - Your views on drugs and alcohol.

I think I am very swedish in my views of drugs and alcohol. Which makes sense. Since I am swedish. *lol* Anyway.

I wouldn't touch any form of drug with a ten foot pole. It just won't happen. I have no desire to try it and I think it is hella wrong to legalise it. It is DRUGS.

When it comes to alcohol though, the story is different. I don't mind alocohol at all. I've been drinking it since I was 16. Tried it when I was 15 (might have been even younger than that...) at home with my parents and grandparents. (Was grandpa who gave me my first shot, brännvin - spiced schnapps a hard liquor that is very common in Sweden. It was disgusting! X-D And he had a HUGE laugh!) So you wanna get drunk? That is fine. But you better be able to handle your liquor. I have no problem with acohol or drunk people. I DO, however, have problem with alcoholists and those who can't handle their drink. *shrug* Alcohol is very integrated in Swedish history and it's just an accepted part of everyday swedish life.

Question 04 - Your views on religion.

I wouldn't say I hate religion and religious people. That would be a lie. I am well aware of the fact that religion can help and give support to those that need it. What I do have a problem with though is when I am told you NEED religion or you are nothing. So not true. I see sects and churches that rule so much over peoples lives it is disgusting, all in the name of religion. I hate that God, Jehova, Allah or whatever you wanna call the higher deity is used to guilt people into doing things or not do things... "If you are not a good girl, you'll go to hell!" My ass, I say... And let me not even start all the shit that is done in the world today, and historically!, in the name of religion.

I am ever so grateful that state and church is far from each other today in swedish politics. And gets further away from each other year after year. THANK you for that, I say! Some God or another have nothing to do with how my country is run, thank you.

So what do I believe in? Nothing or everything or something in between. It's hard to explain, but the easiest thing is to say I am an atheist. It fits the best. *nods*

Just wanted to check in and say CONGRATS to the US! :-D Awesome! Barack Obama for four more years! So, so AWESOME! That President seriously rocks! :-D (As I think most of Europe thinks to... not sure, but I can guess... ;-) )

Today we've been at the Child Welfare Center for a checkup, and was told that Alexandra is doing AWESOMELY well! :-D So wonderful to hear that, I gotta say! She is strong, healthy and develops really quickly! Me = happy momma!

Oddly though, she has been in quite the mood lately... fussy during the day (after daddy peting73 has left for work, naturally...) which pretty much has kept me in the couch more or less all day, since the best place to be, and where she won't cry... is my lap. *sigh*

This is no good, since on Saturday we'll celebrate peting73s and his moms birthdays here, meaning the apartment needs a serious cleanup... :-/ A lot of relatives are coming over, so yes... VERY needed.

peting73 has promised to help before work tomorrow and all day Friday, so there's hope. I have promised to bake him his favorite cookies, so it will hopefully even out.

Note to self: YOU ARE AN IDIOT! *head-desk*

So, the apartment has looked like SHIT for quite some time. With cathair and (clean) litter from the cats litterbox all over the floor. Now. I hate that. I hate cleaning but seriously... I hate a messy apartment even more. So I decided to clean it out. Usually fixable in 3 days. I dusted two rooms Monday and one room Tuesday (after work).

And then today I dusted one room and the hallway. Only the floors left after that. The floors that were seriously dirty. So I needed to clear the floors of as much as possible so I could clean them. Which included lifting stuff and pushing stuff around....

Usually not a problem. But Nerd Jr is growing, and so is my belly... and while nothing is heavy in itself, it was A LOT of stuff I lugged around today. Idiotic.

Because now? Now it feels like I've run a marathon with my belly or something. It hurts. Like I have a bad case of muscle soreness after training or something. It is NOT comfortable! Nothing wrong with Nerd Jr I don't think though.... She/he is happily poking around in there.

peting73 will not be happy with me though. :-/ He has asked me to not lift anything heavy or do anything that might be painful.

Another note to self: Listen to that man. He is usually right. :-P

Tomorrow I am not gonna do shit. Only laundry, and that is easy. :-P

Anyway, have some fun links vids and stuff I did find today after I finished:

If you ever doubted that Swedens prisons are to slack and we can't reform heavy duty criminals, I give you this... from a news paper this week:

( What Swedish prisoners do instead of running away... )

Reason I found that awesome little clip from a newspaper was because I read a bit about that rape in Sweden that Assange is under charge for... And really? This blog-post sums up my feelings on the matter perfectly:

Link: Some shit I'm sick of hearing regarding rape and Assange...

That's the seriousness of this post, now onwards to something fun and interesting instead!

Stumbled over this trailer to a french movie called Tomboy... And man. Now I really really want to see it! o.O

( Tomboy trailer... )

LGBT-problems and kids... I really love to read books about that and to see movies about it to...

Another movie that has it's premiere in December (and I know spicehobbit will jizz all over this... Ehm...) is Les Miserables... I've read the book, seen the movie from 1998 and 2000 (none of them really good...) and I saw the musical live in Malmö in January. So to say I am curious on how this will work out... Especially with Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean and Russel Crowe as Javert... Well, let's just say I am both worried and curious... But today? I saw a teaser. And HOLY FUCK! o.O THIS LOOKS GOOD! REALLY GOOD! Can NOT wait to see this!

( Les Miserables Official Trailer... )

And try to see it in HQ, because gawd damn... o.O And here's the official site for the movie as well: Les Miserables Official Site.

Oh yeah. Hubby will have to babysit Nerd Jr in December because I am SO going to the movies then!

Then Jacki Chan has made a new movie! :-D And I do love Jackie Chan. :-) Especially in movies like this. So yeah. I'd love to see this to.

( Chinese Zodiac with Jackie Chan )

Looks like such a fun action-movie! Just what I love with Jackie Chan! A great sense of humor and insane stunts and fighting scenes! :-D

Right. Now I think I'll answer some comments and then take my idiotic self and my achy belly to bed. :-P
