What a weird week..

In terms of blogs, I thin this week was certainly very.. interesting! On monday the delightful Emma wrote us an article as we were finding it difficult to find replacements that soon, on Tuesday the lovley Chris filled in for.. actually thats his day, anyway on wednesday the beloved Emma.. have I already said that? No, I was right, Emma wrote again and then on Thursday Chris wrote.. My brain hurts.. Anyhow, apart from the general deja-vous this week has brought some FANTASTIC news- BECCA IS BACK!!!! I don't know how you would do a blog party, but let's do whatever that is *PARTY!!
Talking of deja-vous, I don't think that whole paragraph was needed at all, as of course you do know what has been going on. But that is because I don't really have much to talk about. Scince the last time I posted, it has been snowing visously, snow is such a pretty thing and yet so hateable, It has almost killed off England. Millions of people have died in the last ten minutes and because people can't get to work the economy has actually become a black hole, but thats not a bad thing because it has destroyed half of switserland and scientists have found their particle (the higs bozon or something)... Ok, that hasn't really happened either, I just need something to write about. I blame it on the news, nothing interesting is happening. But my week has actually been very cold and there has been about 4 inches of snow where I am, and I have only had one day at school as a result of this, therefore my days have been just sleeping and watching tv, so I have nothing to talk about. However there is some news, not on this Sunday, but the one after it is my birthday! yay! Then the next day after that I am going to GERMANY! So I am now touching up on my nearly fluent german.. Ok, intermediate german.. Ok, so maybe Ok-ish german.. No, actually begginers german.. Ok, so I don't know any german, Oh well. Sorry about the randomness and hyperness and craziness of the article so far, I am in a rather random, hyper, crazy mood. Ok, to prevent further randomness, hyperness or craziness I will get on with the questions:
I asked about God.. When everyone says that they'd rather be carfull what they say, as it is a delicate subject, with most of you knowing I am a non-beleiver perhaps you misunderstood, I just wanted to know do you beleive in a God, if so why? When I asked that, I had to quickly make a question up, I didn't want contrevesy or anyone to be offended so if anyone was, then I think you misunderstood. But to answer that- I don't beleive in God, like chris I prefer to lean more towards science and facts, I also like philosphy. But I respect all religions, it's just I don't beleive, thats all. I don't want to offend or discriminate against anyone.

Emma! how would a perfect first date be? hmm. I think doing something where you can talk and get to know each other is good, and as we all know a nice romantic restaurant is perfect for that. Then I think that doinkg something daring and exiting would be fun and for those of you who are taking my words in completley the wrong way, I don't mean that! Not on the first date! For the inocent ones of you asking what do I mean.. nothing, nothing, I have no idea what you're on about. I then think sitting in front of the tv and watching some tv would be a good way of getting to know each other and what the other person's views are.

Chris, My favroute kind of foods are: Italian, including pizza and pasta mainly! Also german: sausage and bread, YUMMY! however, crocodile and kangaroo aren't exacley favroutes, Chinese: I love most chinese food, although I'm not a fan of dog, Indian: apart from the really spicy foods. English/american: including Mcondonalds, and fish and chip shop food. So my favourite foods are generally very unhealthy, but I don;t just eat them, it's just they're so delicous, so edible... I can't really pick just one can I? Oh crap.. I have drooled onto my keboard. tut tut Sam, tut tut.

Emma, again! And to think I was confused answering last weeks questions! urm, favroute movie? That is a very difficult question, I am not a 'film' person if you get what I mean. I know people who's lives revolve around films, but I'm not such a huge fan. But, I love and appreciate a good film non-the less. At the moment 'Yes man' is one of my favroute. I also like taken, grave of the fireflies, School of rock, Titanic, Iron man, Batman (the dark m=knight OBVIOUSLY!!) and.. Oh yes, there's something about mary. Those are my favroutes, but I do like many more films..

Chris.. bed sheets? that, if you don't mind me saying, is a very unusual question, you must have been struggling to think of one. I don't really think this is a colour, but I'll descrobe it to you: It looks like someone got some stripy blue toilet roll, dipped it in the tiolet and spilled coffee down it. It is beyond me to describe colours in any less vulgur way, without just saying: its dark white.

my question: urm.. I can't think of one, but I want to do a challenge to everyone: I want you all to try and put as many song names in your blog as possible! Sorry, it's difficult and I know I will be crap at it, but I would like to see you all trying! Oh and Becca! yay! Looking forward to your blog and I hope you feel happier and refreshed! BYE EVERYBODY!! XD

Here I go again!


Hello everyone, for the second time this week! 


As it has been previously mentioned Emma and I decided to fill in for Monday and Thursday until we could figure out (with Sam as well) who was going to be writing those days. Fortunately I have the pleasure of welcoming back Becca to take on Thursdays as her regular day starting next week. YAY Becca!

Only real development was that on Monday, I found out that I had an astrophysics lab on Wednesday night (yesterday), however no one knew anything about it or where it was even suppose to be until Wednesday's lecture. It was a good thing that I happened to have time on Wednesday night otherwise I would have been screwed. Our prof seems to be very unorganized, and it's quite frustrating. The lab itself was very simply and short, all I did was taking a few pictures of the moon using an 20cm telescope with a CCD camera mounted to the back, and hooked up to a computer. Now I have to analyze the photographs and calculated how big and deep some of the crates are on the moon. It is a rather neat idea that you can use spacial geometry to figure out precise distances of things hundred of thousands of kilometers away from simply a photograph and some data. After having a very long day I ended up not going to the gym as planned yesterday, so perhaps  I will go tomorrow.

Oh! And I sent out my valentines day cards yesterday, so hopefully you will all get them soon!

Questions:

Food: My Favorite would have to be Greek, followed closely by western Chinese and Japanese!

Movie: This is difficult since there are so many good ones, LOTR is certainly up there, as is Gangster No. 1, The Devil Wears Prada, The Producers, Serenity, and so many more I can't even remember.

My question: What colour are your linens, like your sheets and blanket, etc?

Super busy!

Since I posted a blog on Monday there's not to much for me to write here now.
I've been hanging out with some friends and I've also been to the mall with my mum so I could get the stuff I need for the party I'm going to on saturday (my friends boyfriend turns 25).
What I really would have needed to do though is my schoolwork. Tomorrow we'll be discussing the answers to some assignments and I haven't started with them yet. So that's what I'll be doing after finishing this blog. I'm guessing I won't get to many hours of sleep tonight, but I only have myself to blame.

Seeing how I don't have to much more to tell you right now I guess I'll move on to the questions. Even though there's not to many of them either.

First we have my question from this monday about the first date. I think I would avoid going to a movie because I would like to be able to talk and get to know the person I'm out with. So either a dinner och maybe just meeting up at a café. Just something low key to get to know eachother.

And yesterday Chris wanted to know what our favorit food was. I think it's funny he asked that since I told you guys in my introduction blog that I'm an increadibly vacillating person and therfore couldn't give a conclusive answer to questions about for example favorit food. But since you asked I guess I could say that right now I like Pasta Alfredo a lot.

What should I ask you guys then? Hmmm... I got it, What is your favorit movie and why?

I don't have any socks on right now cause it's late and I'm in my PJ so I'll give you the picture from last week because that's how I look now too :P

Sleepless in Calgary!


Well I apparently failed at time management over the weekend. I went into the weekend full well knowing that I had a lot of school work to catch up on, as well as my usual weekly lab report and physics assignment. I was also looking forward to the fact that I only had to work on Friday and would have the rest of the weekend to work on homework. But as you can likely guess that didn't quite pan out like I had hoped. I essentially slept till noon on Saturday and then spent the afternoon out running errands, the rest of the evening consisted of me watching 6 episodes of Ugly Betty. As much as I thoroughly enjoyed it, it really didn't help my goal of catching up on schoolwork. Sunday afternoon consisted of cleaning the house and rearranging my living room. So I didn't really get anything started until about 17:00 and spent the next 12 hours following that working on all my homework and ended up only getting about two hours of sleep. Needless to say I got very little sleep and had a long day at school and then work. 


On to questions...

Meeting  someone dead or alive: I would probably want to meet Einstein, if nothing else just to see him work. I think it would be fascinating to see a true genius in his element changing the world of physics right before our eyes.

Believe: I believe in science, perhaps I'm just biased because I'm a scientist, but I'm big on having cold hard facts and science is something that can provide that for me anyway.

God: Well as Emma said God and religion are always a touchy subject. Personally I was raised catholic, however I consider myself atheist. I have nothing against religion, and for some people it works. I just personally don't like the idea of having a higher power calling the shots in my life. 

Date: Call me traditional, but dinner and a movie always work. Especially a home made dinner! Really just something to have a  good conversation with someone and have a nice time together.

Best/worst year: My best year was probably grade 12, I was involved in so many things and had a really good and busy year, my other favorite year was my first and only year of engineering. I met a lot of awesome people and had a blast. My worst year was probably grade 7 only because I very much disliked one of my teachers, she was just an all around bitch. 

My question: What is your favorite kind of food?

A lot of changes

Usually I’m not the one posting on Mondays but as you all probably know Becca has decided to leave the blog due to personal reasons but she has also said that she might rejoin in the future. Therefore I’m going to give you today’s post so you’ll have something to read.

We are currently looking for a new Monday and Thursday so if you’re interested or know someone that is interested you can contact us via twitter, just @reply to idontwearsocks.

Since Wednesday when I last posted I haven’t done too much. I’ve mostly been relaxing and done some schoolwork and last night I was on stickam for several hours with my fellow bloggers among others.

That resulted in me staying up till 5AM and then I got up at nine because I was going to the gym with a friend. I also bought a valentine’s card that I’m going to send out tomorrow :)

Let’s move on to the questions even though there aren’t too many for me to answer.
I should probably start with my own question “If I got to meet anyone I wanted, dead or alive, who would it be and why?” I would like to meet Astrid Lindgren because she was an amazing author and who doesn’t know Pippi Longstocking for example.

On Thursday Michiel wanted to know what the one thing we believe most in are. And that’s a really tough question but if I had to say something it would probably be that I believe that everyone has a purpose and that there’s something good in everyone.

Sam wanted to know what our views on God are and I don’t have a good answer to that and I usually stay out of discussions about religion because I know that’s a sensitive subject to a lot of people.

So my question for the day is “How would a perfect first date be?”

Come back tomorrow for Chris’s blog and I’ll be back on Wednesday.
