Cyberlove by first sight, part 1 <3

Sweet lord, what a a busy week! Feels like I don't even have time to exhale between everything that's thrown over me at work:/ Yaaaiiiiiiiks!!! Christmas is moving in like a buldozer in a china cabinet and unlike for most other people (?) it's  the most busy time of the year with the project that I'm working on. Part from the summer, which is basically mayham too! It could probably be the reason to why I all the sudden feel all jingle bell jolly? It will be the first Christmas for me and my love together, our FIRST Christmas!! Can't believe it. Yeaaahhhiiii, so excited!!! The other two years we've been spending with our phones attached to our ears with duck tape, in dispair of being half a globe away from each other... Talk about jingle bell blues...! Everything has basically been a "first" this year..

Our story starts two years ago. Girl meets boy, they fall in love and all of that.. But we're not talking the traditional way. We're talking viritual dating and falling madly, deeply in love, going like a glowing, hot wire between Norway and the U.S. Forming a realitionship so deep, tender, sweet and pure I think we both were totally and utterly blown away of what we had found.. On the other side of the planet. Impossible, some would say. Fantastic!! Yes impossible I also thought it was, that I would fall in love with someone the cyberway.. I wouldn't have dreamt of it in a million years. Maybe it's just a lack of imagination to start with;) haha Mmm but seriously, I allways thought I would have to have the fysical part to fall in love.. To be able to flirt, touch and see.

We fell in love despite that. The sparking magic of pure connection and words.. At times when we were writing, I could swear that I felt his presence in the room and all around me, though we were miles away and I never even had met the guy. And I'm absolutely positively sure that I felt that first kiss, even though it was a viritual one;) He was with me every minute and second of the day, it was impossible to concentrate on anything. I walked around like a love zombie, blind to everything else, my whole existence revolved around this other person thousands of miles away. Like a drug. Couldn't have enough and I would gladly overdose on him any day if I were given the chance!

Days turned into nights as we turned the day around. Being so far away meant that the time difference worked against us 9 hours. It also meant that most nights I wouldn't get much sleep at all. I would bring my computer to bed and chat all night, or talk on the phone till I dozed away.. The mornings for my part were spent in front of the mirror applying makeup on with one hand, while chatting with the other, and/or while having him on the phone. Most of the time with the videochat on. Glory, glory, halleluja.. Texts and more chatting through out the day, allways there. Allways connected. At some point I developed some sort of veird, disordered emotions for my computer and cell. It's like my electronic devices turned into the real, flesh and blood man that I was in love with! ahha Madness. Hmmm that's when I found out that I had to get my butt over the pond to find out if it really was as good as I thought before I turned nuts over here...!!

I quicly learned that nothing is impossible! Something I had forgot through years in the wrong relationship..

2. part of this impossible possible, adventure of a love story will be coming to you soooooon...!!

Swine flu, here we come!

We've decided to just give a big shit about any lurking danger from the big, bad swine flu. The chances are really small that we'll get it at my cousin's anyway. They cleaned the whole place down, even the sofa didn't escape the clean freaks;) I think it's just as likely that we'll get it somewhere else. Soooo we went present shopping last evening, at the mall, in a toy store, full of kids with runny noses! Probably the worst place to be right now? Besides that, I'm amazed by all the stuff that they come up with for the kids.. We found this coolest little, classic, black piano in there! Hmmm wonder if there is any chance I can wish for a toy piano for Christmas?? If I been a good girl that is... Fat chance. After looking at all sorts of goodies, we came out on the other side with a globe with lights and animals on the map showing where they belong. If I were a kid I would love that!!:)

I allways had an attraction to globes.. It holds some sort of mystery in it, allmost magical. Like an entrance to different worlds, the thought of all the places that lies there undiscovered.. By me. Makes me wanna travel and experience these places. My grandparents used to have one that we would gather around to spin and see where to go. Where ever the finger landed we had to visit. I guess I allways been an adventurer, since i was 2 1/2 and bicycled away on my three weeler... Out to discover the world! haha I still remember the feeling that gave me, total freedom and excitement of the undiscovered! The world was no longer just the playground.. Till my mom managed to hunt me down and bring me in that is, but I got quite far. I can imagine the horror! My first adventure.. Been a few after that;)

Finally Friday!!

Sooooo O happy it's Friday!!:D Finally weekend and time to exhale! Been a long week at work, reeeeeally looking forward to wind down a bit.. We're supposed to be tending a birthday together with the rest of the family this weekend, but we're having some second thoughts since they just had the swine flu in the house..:/ We're not sure if it's worth the risk.. My man went through surgery this spring and had to remove one of his kidneys, which puts him in the risk zone as I have understood it.. On the other side, how hysterical are we gonna allow ourself to get! Can't stop living either just cuz of this stupid swine flu and we're just as likely to get it while we're at the mall or at some bar I guess... Dilemma. Me want cake!!;) haha

Hmmm I just realized that I haven't added any photo of the mini giljotin yet... It will come, together with photos of the giljotined guy outside;) ahha

Much love, Devilla <3

First snow..

It's something special about that first snow that falls.. Cold, white flakes dancing down from the sky.... Like a peaceful winter scene from a silent movie. Beautiful! Though I have to admit today was rather unpleasent, a harsh wind whipping these first white flakes around house corners and cross the city streets like wet cotton bombs, in under scarfs and jackets. No matter how tight I pulled my scarf, the wind still seemed to find some way to pierce through my defence. My umbrella served as a shield against the attacks.. Which worked quite fine, till I allmost hit a comercial sign. Art of the city. The reason for being out in this lovely weather you might ask your self.. The fun has just began, we still have 5 more months with snow and wind, and not to forget the darkness that embraces us from all around this time of the year. Welcome King Winter! Time to hibernate..  Where's that remote!?

Post Halloween Vacuum...

I'm in a bit of a vacuum right now, Halloween is over for this time and all our scary projects too.. Hmmmm or are they? We have decided to work a bit on props and stuff all year around. Hmmm and isn't it just an excellent hobby? Mooohahahha!! Making ghouls and scary props can be quite cozy, believe it or not and we have really fun doing it:) We've been talking some more about starting up a haunted house, like one of those that you find in the U.S... I think it's an awsome idea, but it's still just an idea. Clearly Halloween is about to hit off in Norway, if it hasn't allready.. I saw a huge difference from last year, people seemed to be much more into it this year. The stores were quite busy, full of people shopping Halloween stuff. Also we noticed a change when we went out, clearly more people had dressed up and seemed to be coming from a Halloween party this year. We stumbled down to Dr. Jeckyll's after midnight some time, a bar down town with that cozy Halloween theme all year around style to it;) We met everything from scary pirates, Draculas to full rabbit costumes in there, I'm very pleased to find that it finally seems to be picking up here! haha

Our Halloween party went great!!:) Everyone seemed very pleased with our grusome decoration in our Cabinet Of Death! haha My creepy, little spidercakes went rather well, they looked quite alive as my sister pointed out. Really easy to make and something I will have on the menu for next year too;) I've been taking a few photos of some of the props and decoration we had up in the hallway, unfortunately I didn't have time to take any of the the gory, headless guy outside, but I know someone did.. I'll add it together with photos from inside our Cabinet of Death later on, so please do check in again for more haunting photos;)

Also I have to add my Marie Antoinette costume won forst prize this year, very flattered but I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO WIN!! ahah We were supposed to hand it out to one of our guests, but wasn't happening...:/
