Hello strangers.

Coming back to London has been weird.

I have had more time on my hands than I have ever had before, time to find a decent place to live and make it a home. With everything that, that includes (writing double "that" can't be good). Cooking dinner, grocery shopping, cleaning and just being at home. It is not much, but it is mine. Then I have my studies that I have managed so far to stay on top of and everything is in order. For me, this is really weird. I have always been in way over my head with being busy, drama with my work, my friends or other things. Constantly running around in circles, double or triple booking myself, always late etc. Maybe it is just temporary till I find away to get back in to my hectic norm or maybe I am just becoming really old.

My blog host now tells me where my blog-readers or "audience" come from. I find quite interesting that my silly, little thoughts I type down here have traveled further than I have myself. Today I had more visitors from the US than I did from home. I think that is the first time Iceland isn't on the top of the list. I guess everything is big in America. Even me. People from Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other exotic places somehow wondered in here while internet surfing. Huh, fancy that.

Blogging is weird. It seems pretty pointless. Specially since normally you get few if any comments (versus facebook where people like and comment on just about anything - "I had breakfast this morning" gets 7 likes and people comment "oh so did I"). Still in real life you get comments like "oh, I really enjoy reading your blog" or "great blog, keep it up". And now, getting visits from people I have absolutely no way of even possibly knowing. I like it anyway though. It sort of is my way of telling everyone back home I am alright. Plus, it's the only creative thing I feel like I am any good at.

Weird how you get like a minor kick out of number of comments, notifications or likes, "yes, my status got 15 comments" and you feel like you have accomplished something.



That song always makes me feel warm and fuzzy. It is so genuine and quite corny in a seventies way. Which is adorable. The video definitely highlights that experience. Plus this band is just awesome.

elska noah and the whale.
víst þú ert svona indie orðin, kannski þú sendir mér tónlist for a change?
love,
