A good reading year, 2008. :) I found several faves! It may have something to do with the fact that in the summer I graduated from uni, where I'd been locked up with numerous heavy textbooks since 2003. I was pretty STARRRRRRRRVED for leisure reading. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starting dates, titles, authors and any comments I may have... :)

Who, me? WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT %P
17-Feb-2008: 3. "Jag avskyr ordet normal" (Swedish for "I hate the word normal") by Malin Nordgren

MY FAVOURITE BOOK. So if I could recommend 1 book to everyone, THIS WOULD BE IT. :O When it becomes possible to download books directly into one's brain, I shall learn to write virus programs (by... downloading the knowledge into my brain?) and infect you all. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
16-Aug-2008: 16. "The elegant universe" by Brian Greene

30-Oct-2008: 21. "The ancestor's tale" by Richard Dawkins
About evolution. Btw, you know what would be EXTREMELY KEWL?!?!?! If you could obtain photos of each of your great-great-great-great-and-so-on grandmothers - back to the ancestral cell - and line up the photos in the correct order (you - mum ----- ancestral cell) and walk along them and look at them all. :) :D 8D It might take a while. And be impossible and stuff. But awesome. :D ... #smileyoveruse
29-Dec-2008: 22. "Doing democracy" by Bill Moyer

"Unbalanced footprints. 1.9 hectares. This would be the maximum size of our ecological footprints if the resources of this planet are to be sufficient, sustainable and equally distributed."
Measure your ecological footprint.
Another footprint quiz (just for the US and Australia so far) here.
I think I read that the average human footprint globally is 2.2 hectares. Oops.

Only about €13 at an online auction. Their steel toe caps came in handy at all the Nine Inch Nails concerts... Not that I think my toes did get stomped on a lot... considering I GOT RAIL 80% OF THE TIME :D ... but it was nice not having to worry. :)

Ah, so Alibubba wasnt feeling very happy a week or so ago, so Kerry and I made her a care package - well she already had a blue wig, so I decided to keep it for myself - since my blonde one was destroyed and ended up on our miley cyrus pumpkin (joke, we're not big fans).
anyways, since I earned those beads a while back, I had this genius photo idea that I didnt quite execute, but it's good enough.
finished my last project and paper today. Going to finish my last grant proposal and I'll be smooth sailing until graduation. My family is funneling in tomorrow, my older brother is leaving Iraq as we speak and in a week everyone will be here for the big walk.
super excited. now I'm just exhausted and ready for bed.

Election coming up. I'm not voting for the team currently in charge. I was there with a group called the Animal Rights Alliance, who are currently trying to get mink farming banned in Sweden. We wanted to remind PM Fredrik Reinfeldt of this issue. So we infiltrated the crowd and after a while, we raised banners and placards into the air. (Nice and silent, we were! :B ) The cops threw us out, but we got to hang around the edge of the crowd with our placards. :) (Which is what we're doing in this pic.)
The next day, we got a wee mention in the local paper.

To keep dust and shit out of the iPod's arsehole. Maybe some kind of rubber stopper was supposed to come with it, but I never saw any. This is cooler anyway.
I picked the colours because I'm a wannabe Ravenclaw. (Go read Harry Potter.)

Guess I won't pick them, then.
I was actually out picking 'shrooms with my mum and gran. Luckily, they had brought hot coffee water. (:B
I wish I'd had a macro lens around for the next few days. It wasn't pretty. :D

"The four of us are dying" logo sticker on Diary 37. The latter was purchased in celebration of my 15 years as a regular journal-keeper on October 10, 2008. 8D
The sticker came with the physical version of Nine Inch Nails' album "The slip", copy #56331. Nine Inch Nails is an AWZUM BAND, MOSTLY CUZ HE GAVED ME STICKERZ!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Download "The slip" for FREE ffs, it's fucking great.
My comments on Diary 37, copied from a certain forum:
"...There are 4 "petals" in the psycho pattern, aaaaaand my sick twisted mind can interpret the song to be not very far removed from the colour greeeeeeen! 8D Or I stole the interpretation idea from ETS, cannae really remember! 4 DNA bases... biodiversity... :O
Actually... This here DNA photo bears some resemblance to the psycho flower. THE HARMONY! IT'S TOO MUCH!
The sticker will be subjected to much wear and tear, but at least it's in a place that's important to me. :q Ideally, I would have used Lights in the sky. I may hunt that pack down sometime. But this was the Slip I was dealt, so it's speshul, and I do love this logo too. I think.
My other stickers, then, are Letting you and 999999. They don't speeeeeeak to me quite as much so perhaps I really will undertake that hunt before I put another sticker on a precious diary.
While I was handling the sticker it fell from my greasy fingers and landed randomly on the book... SCREEEEEEEEEEECH! Luckily I managed to tear it off. You slopped good glue on these fuckers, Trent. :9
End of report.
Yes, I was unable to find a hawter journal that was both sticker-friendly and equipped with lined pages, because lined journals are in the vortex of the 6th extinction too."

We had gone to visit my gran, who lives pretty close to the Swedish-Finnish border. Carolin had never been to Finland and I'd only walked across the border as a tiny kid. So we had to go there, and documented our visit in a most picturesque supermarket parking lot. :p

I made the rug in 1998. One of the lessons when I was working on it my classmate Niklas N (& co) suddenly came up with the idea of bullying me, which he continued to do throughout the 9th grade.
/random
The rug got hidden away for a decade, then buried under shitloads of random shit on a window sill. Now it can finally shine in all its glory on my bathroom floor. :9
