Life without drugs

Now that i live like an heremit in the desert of Sahara, like the jungleman in Gambia, like like poor vietnameese in the ricefields or the lonely eskimo up in alaska, i got some distance to this whole internet thing. Its been like getting clean of a drug or somethin'.
I've been getting the shakes, the chills. Gotten rage attacks on David trying to bite him.
I've become really dangerous.

And man, i just realized i just miss-spelled "Fabulous" in my header. "Fabolous"? How embarrasing. And why hanv't anyone told me???

Fuck you. Fuck you all.

No net dude


I am alive.

My freaking computer crashed and i've spent the entire morning being upset, yelling at the computer, almost breaking it, and cursing myself how dependant i let myself become of this horrible but yet wonderful thing called computer. But you see, the internet is the key for my relation with all my family and friends. Its the source of life. And no, i cant live without it now.

So, until we buy a new little devil, you wont see or hear much from me. But bear with me. Just like the terminator, i'll be back.

Jazzy jammies


just wanted to show my new pretty pajama that i got from David for our 3 yrs anniversary. Actually, i got another one, but the top was too small (the boobs ya know) So we changed it, and i chose this one! Innit cute??

aaand from the lazy sunday we spent in Tiburon (I soooo wanna buy a house there!! its my fav. hood in Marin!)


San Francisco in the distance

Peace y'all
This is how David spent the 2 hours we were there. Playing "the most awesome game ever" on MY pink Nintendo DS. Im not kidding. He was under that hoodie the whole timeBoy, all that playin made him tired.
This is how i found him when i came back from shooting an ass



Julianne Moore!


Phew... Just so y'all know, im gonna arrive in Sweden tired like an ass (u know how they sometimes calls donkeys for asses, why really? anyone know? Thats not very nice to the donkeys)

Today a shadow assignment was due in Photography class and i had a hard time coming up with a creative idea, and i hate turning in something im not satisfied with. This is my ass.

obviously, its not my ass. Its short for assignment (yeah, because some people might not get it....)

After gym today, i put my hat on and strolled down to Books inc. And this time, Julianne Moore WAS indeed there (remember i went there and waited for 1 hour a month ago)
It was kinda weird to see her! Like it is with any celebrities. But she seems sooooo nice!! Real down to earth and not silly glamourous fake Hollywoodish. She just seemed like someone u wanteed to talk to. I mean, I'm not even sure that she was wearing makup!

It was kinda strange though, she was reading the story about freckle-face strawberry in front of all these kids. But, the role i remember her best in, was in Boogie nights (great movie btw!!) Where she works in the...ehum, adult movie business. And there the same woman is, reading books for these kids... i dont know, it felt kinda like "boy, lucky these kids havn't seen that movie" hahaha.

I get so upset though. I wanted to talk to her. To tell her i admire her work in films. And aks her questions about her approach to childrens books. Because i want to write one to, yeah, i had bunch of Q's, but im such a fucking chicken!!!! It makes me so upset that i dont dare to upen my god damn mouth sometimes.

So not bad huh, 2 celebs in not even a week! And 2 respectable ones too! (and by that i mean not a Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus or that annoying guys from hisg-school musical)

Talentless bloggers

What is happening in Sweden?
All of a sudden, all these "Paris Hilton wannabees" who are blogging about the most boring stuff are "famous" in Sweden. Who is this freakin Blondin Bella for example? Kenza? And so on, and on.
They have hundreds of thousands who reads their blog. Thats insane!! Why??
"After my cigarett and coffee, i went shopping with some friends..."
Ehhhh, ok. Fun. interesting. Thank you for enlightning me. And becuse they write this, They get to be in "vecko revyn" "aftonbladet" and even on Tv!!

There is one blog that i read, her name is Egoina. She's a good writer. Funny! But the others...man... what crap! Im not judging them as persons (or maybe a little bit) cause i dont know them , but seriously, they should find another way of earning money.

All i wanted to do was to get a tan...

(this is a long one, but woth to read. I had an unbelievable day with towing, carproblems, cops and Will smith)

10.05, im in the line for the postoffice. Pleased about my day off wich im going to spend by the pool. Im wearing a summerdress.

After an unhumanly long wait at the postoffice im finally on my way to marin. I have to pass by the carwash first. I had directions to.... no, not the carwash. So i have to call David to guide me on google maps where im going. I'm lost. After a while i find it. I'm annoyed that i lost precious sun time.

11.10. An employee comes up to me and tells me that my car won't start. They vaccuumed it, and was about to drive it into the wash. We try and try to start it. The gas is on empty. And therefore we think thats the problem.

11.20. Towtruck arrives. Its with anger i watch my car sliding up on the towtruck.
I get in the truck where its quiet. After a while, the drivers smiles and says "Nice that the warm weather is back huh?"
I smile a fake smile back "Yeah, it sure is"
Then its quiet again. This man is about to get paid 65 bucks for towing my car for 3 minutes to our mechanic. Im not gonna even try to be nice.

11.45
At the mechanics.
The owner is a er nice man from Lebanon. He knows David and tells me he talks about me alot, and that he himself have been married for 21 yrs.

12.50
After an hour, This nice man tells me somethings wrong with the distributor and that it will cost close to 1000 bucks to fix.
ok. No, Wait wait wait.... what't that? A THOUSAND BUCKS???!?!
Great. Flippin' great. I feel myself panic a bit. "But, last yr, we fixed the car for a total of 2.500 bucks. How can it posible brake down again???" i think to myself, wishing that i had been a mechanic instead and been able to fix my own god damn problems.
This is abssurd. We are so, unbelievably, un-freakin-lucky with money.

In that same instant, Emmelie arrives. She's there to pick me up. i tell her the news.

1.05.
me and emmelie arrives at a park in San Rafael. I help her with french. I call David to tell him the news and ask if we should fix the car, or buy a new one. I just hear on Davids voice that he is tired.
We decide to fix it. It will be ready at 4.30

2.45
Emmelie has to leave and i'm calling the mechanics to see if they can pick me up when its time. Owner is at dentist and has to call me back. The man on the phone asks for my number.
"415...555...2335" the guys repeats, and then says.."uuuuhhhh...?"
I realize my fault. I gave them, their own number. I chuckle embarrased and hear myself saying "oops, it must be the heat"

2.48
i call back again to tell them something. "Are you calling to give me my own number" is the first thing the voice says.

3pm.
Emmelie left. Im lying on my picnic blanket debating wheter i should put my bikini on or not. I do. I put it on, and put some tan oil on me.

3.10
"Can we have a word with you miss" I hear a dark voice say
I open my eyes. And above me, there is 2 flippin cops!! And there i am,lying in a bikini, with my oiy body.
i didnt move. "ehhh, sure...whats the problem?" Im so scared. Cops scare me. Why are they here??? Is it illegal to be in a bikini in a public parc? Can you only be in a bikini on the beach?

"Are you from around here miss?"
"ehhh...no, im aaa....from San Francisco"
"oh, and you just came up here to get a tan?"
"yeah...kinda..."
"well, this isnt the best park to get a tan miss. We have a huge problem here with homeless and drugaddicts, and although your...attire is very nice. I think they will like it more than i do"
"ehhh...ok...?"
"Do you have a car?"
"ehh, yeah, but its at the mechanic, thats why im here really..."
"You can change in the bathrooms i the womens center over there. We just don't want you to get harrassed or approached miss"
"wow, no, definatly not. I'll put my dress on fast!"
"ok miss"

And then they left. And there i waas, still lying down. Boobs oily and all. great. I sat up, looked around. Did anyone see what just happened? But then i noticed. The only people there was, was homeless and drug addicts. They probably had their baywatch dream come true for the first and only time.
I put my dress on and hurried into the center to "clean up"
Well in there i talked to a woman who worked there, and she told me that the past 6 month its gotten really bad. But its not unsafe to be out there. But not a good idea to be in a bikini.

3.30
Out from the center, i looked at the time. Darn it, still an hour to kill. So i went back to the grass, but furthest away from the weirdos. Close to a pree school (yes, there is a preeschool there)
After a while, i hear a car behind me. I turn my head. Its the flippin cops again! The old one is just looking at me. I chuckle, nervously" I put my dress on, thats better isnt it!"
He just nods, and then theyre off. what? I can sit here right?? I think they thought i was some kinda prostitute or something. Or maybe a homeless too, cause i kinda looked homeless that day.

5pm
The car guy picked me up. i paid the money (worth another ticket to sweden) and were off to the carwash. I paid for a wash and i will have my god damn wash.

5.10
at the carwash again. The guys recognize me. They come up to me and smiles
"So what was the problem"
"Well, it wasnt the gas for sure. Something with the distributor. Cost me 1000 bucks." I smiled. I smiled like i had freakin won 1000 bucks. I dont know why i smiled though. I should be crying.
"aa..aa..thousand bucks....?"
"yea i know"
I left my car, took my keys. Went in the store. Bought some water. Then i sat down.
After a while a little mexi comes up "ehum....do you...have your keys mam?"
ah, of course. My head is not with me today.

5.30
Car is wached and fixed. time to pick up david. After getting lost again (and cussing like mad) i finally drive by marinwood pool and gave a sad smile. Thats the place i was supposed to spend my day. How ironic to finally pass by there now.

6pm
I drive into skywalker ranch. Im listening the "muffinslaten" with the swedish trubatour Bjorn Rosenstrom.
Volume is high and im singing. Windows open. I drive above the speed limit into the roundabout where i park. But as i turn, i see that George Lucas and 2 others are standing there. "Fuckkk" At the same time im turning, im slowing down and turning the volume down. They are looking at me like I'm some kind of white trash. I hide behind my glasses and give them a little embarrased smile. And feel myself sinking down in the seat.

Who are they waiting for?

All of a sudden. 2 big black cars with black windows pull up right next to me. The door opens. And this is in slowmotion ok.
WILL SMITH
steppes out of the car. Smiling his famous smile, laughing. The ears are there.
His son jumps out of the car into his arms and Smith smiles even more. This is happening no more thatn 3 meters from me. Im in the middle. I cant breathe. The second car which i can touch from my window opens.
A man i htought was Bruce Willis for steps out. But its not him. Another black dude get out, looks at me and smiles. "Hi there" he says. "H...hhh hiii" i smile back. But my eyes not leaving Will smith. The all walk up to Mr Lucas and greet eachother. Im staring in awe.
Just then David comes out from his office. And sees Will too. He starts to make faces like "loook, its will smith" Ehh, i know!!!!!!!

David comes in the car. He whispers again "Its Will smith!!" "I know he stepped out of his car right in fornt of me!!!"
And we are both like little kids on christmas eve. Mr Lucas is the tree and the others the xmas gifts. Surreal.

Perfect ending on a sucky day.

3 years of love



So, after 3 years together we're still going strong. Who would have thought huh? Nobody? Come on, Im sure there was a couple of u who bet the odds against us no?


3 yrs have passed fast. Lots of laughter. Tears. Yeah, u know, all that comes with a relationship.
I do think that we fight less than "the standard couple". But i think to have fights, its necessary. You need it. It shows that you care.


This whole week is actually our anniversary. But Yesterday, cinco de mayo as the mexicans joyfully calls it, is the day we celebrate. Thats the first time we saw eachother. And i decided that he was to me my first boyfriend.

So yesterday, to honor that day, David took me to this amazing french-californian infusion restaurant. Gary Danko. Man. It was the next best restaurant i've ever been to. (nothing beats La Grange Belle eglise in France)
4 courses, appetizer, main, cheese, dessert. + a bonus soup (like, 2 spoons) and some treats for the coffee.
Have i told you o love food? Cause if not. Im telling you now. Good restaurants is something i would spend my money on, if i had any. If you yet have to discover the beauty of food- Well presented, small portions with the weirdest little things. Appreciate every taste in that little piece of creation. Man. Food is an art.

So we had: (we always share half half)

Appetizer:
Risotto with Lobster, Rock Shrimp, Asparagus, Morel Mushrooms and Stinging Nettles

Seared Ahi Tuna with Avocado, Nori, Enoki Mushrooms and Lemon Soy Dressing

Main
Mushroom Dusted Sea Scallops with English Pea Purée, Shimeji Mushrooms and Meyer Lemon Seared



Filet of Beef with Braised Celery, Potatoes, Bacon, Leeks and Bordelaise Crust


8 different cheese (omg i was i heaven)


Dessert Rhubarb-Strawberry Tart with White Chocolate Sauce and Almond Ice Cream


Anyway, David got a perfume from me (the choise between Beckham and Diesel) And i got nice "sleepwear" from him that i wanted. Those tinkerbell pajama is getting old haha.

Hey! Gotta go watch UFO hunters!!

And the divine voice said from up above:

"Thou arht ghoing to the Swedish kingdom"

The headline supposed to be like....fromt he bible or something. What do i know?

Yes. After many if's and but's, im going. In the end, the choice was obvious. Helena is one of my best friends. And she's only getting married once. Money, can always be earned again. im going to be there.

But the decicion was difficult. Although David was supportive, i feel bad. So bad. He practicly supported me for, 3 yrs now. The first yr he paid all my tickets because he wanted to see me so bad. He paid everything for me. Food, hotels. Rent... hell-even clothes. My drinks, sometimes my friends drinks.
David is the one who needs vacation. He's the one who should go away. I owe him so much. Not money, because we dont care about that. But i owe him so much, thankfulness. I owe him kindness and love. This man is....incredible. He does everything for me to be happy. And im happy he felt so strongly for me already in the beginning, and did all this for us to be together!

Anyway, he'll get a surprise once i worked for a while. And i know exactly what that is going to be. My lips are sealed until then.

So anyway. Sweden. Svea rike. Sverige. La suede. Suecia.
Be landning 15.20 local time. Friday 15th. Then i'll be going home Friday 22nd 10.30 local time. Yes. After the wedding. And yes, i am a bit nervous for the possibility that i might still be drunk on the plane. Ugh, and y'all know my hangovers. I dont do hangovers. Although i always do them anyway. Sucks. Thats why i never go out anymore, cause if i drink 3 drinks, you bet your ass i will have a hammer smashing my head and a stomach inside out the day after.

But it'll be woth it this time. Im just gonna have t sit on the plane and smell puke. So be it.

IM SO HAPPY THOUGH!!! I no longer have to play witht the thought that i have to photoshop myself in to the wedding photos. I'll be there myself!! Tjoho!

i recieevd a card

...And that card states that i can actually get a job. A real job. Allow me to dance around and say: a-woo-hoo!!

So, wait, this still doesnt mean i got my greencard. This is just a work authorization., while my case is pending.
But rumours say, that when u get this card, its pretty sure you'll get the greenie too!!
But still. Hold the horses. Not taking anything out until i recieve that greenie. Thats when the partey begins!

So....what should i look for? office job, guide job, boutique job? Ihhhh, i dotn think i ever been this excited about looking for job!
I will earn less money, i will work harder and more, and i will pay taxes. But i dont care. I just want to work with adults for a change. I'm tired of playing. This is my time. This is Johannas new era.
The era of work.

sounds good doesn't it. Or, maybe not :-)

Dont worry...


No no no.... I did not die of the swine flu. And to be honest. Nobody really cares here anymore. They only cared for 2 days. Then people seemed to realise that mediajust really frightens people.


What i am wondering, is that why its still raining here. Its been reaining since friday. And i just need to say, what the hell?
Its May, it doesnt rain in May here. I need to get some sun on my skin before i leave. I cant come home from California looking like I spent the last 10 yrs in Finland. No. No can do! I refuse. I have an image to live up to. The sunny California image :-)
It's supposed to be 25 degrees sunny tomorrow. Yeah. Like thats going to happen.
