Yup, alive and kicking, mostly kicking on another website, but that one is in Icelandic so it is not for all to understand. There hasn't been much happening in my life since my birthday except I'M GRADUATING from the University of Glasgow on FRIDAY!!! I actually got my exam results a couple of weeks ago, so lazy me not writing about it sooner. I will be flying to Glasgow on Thursday and will be coming back home on Sunday, so, not a long trip, but essential. Today I also got great news for a nerd like me. At the graduation a Gaelic poet, Ruaraidh MacThómais is going to be receiving an honorary doctorate from the University. And right now, I feel like an idiot, going; ''Like, I'm gonna meet him, like, see him there like. Wow, like that would ever happen, I'm just like tickled pink to be there with him, when he gets that thing!"
I am so looking forward to friday, well, even just to thursday. Of getting back to Glasgow, I feel like I am going to THE land of retail therapy. I have been in such trouble with finding anything at all in the shops here, and no, it's not all for me. I have been trying to find birthday presents like the dickens (it's a phrase not an author of several celebrated books) here as well.
! But for your notice. Some of my close aquitances have been inquiring about this website. I am not going to make it sound as if I am so important that they broadcast the graduation just because it's me, but for anyone, who would like to enjoy the opportunity of seeing me being whacked on the head with a hat and lassoed with a scarf, please feel free to check this out:
Graduation 29th June 2007,
it's at 4 o'clock in the afternoon local time, and that would make it at 5 o'clock in Iceland.

An old, lazy git
It was my birthday on May 24th, and thank you to all those who sent me birthdaygreetings. I just turned 28 and I don't know if I can accept that.
It turns out I am a lazy git so it can't be true. I had a long discussion about the subject with a friend of mine and she agrees. Time flies and it flies really fast sometimes as most of you can relate to so I have decided not to follow time anymore and just go after my own intuition.
So I can hardly say I am older than 22 or there abouts which suits me just fine and is more in tune with my mental growth as well.
And since I have already confessed of being lazy, it will come as no surprise that it is my excuse of not writing anyting worthwhile reading recently.
There hasn't been that much to write about, except maybe my birthday. Nothing much happened on my birthday itself. I went to work, and got home. Then I invited my mom and dad out for dinner at Lauga-ás, which serves the most delicious food ever. Then surprisingly I went to the cinema with my friend and got to see Pirates of the Caribbean At Wit's End .. ooops sorry, that's at World's End. Enjoyed it immensely.
But mom and I decided, and because of a lot of phonecalls from family, to have a little get-together on Sunday, because there was not other time available.
Everyone is so busy these days, and we no less. So mom and I spent the Saturday preparing our feast, turned out we were baking for nearly ten hours, but it was so much fun. Then Sunday came and a whole lot of people came to see me. It was wonderful to see them. I even got a few presents and they were all very nice and thoughtful.From mom and dad, I got a nice picture to hang in my bedroom, and I also got from them 3 dishes (a dinner plate, a soup dish and a dessert dish) to collect for a set. The dishes are beautiful, elegant and very tasteful. They are completely white with no decoration but are sooo beautiful. They are called Nimbus and are the second down, on the right;
From my brother and sister-in-law I got a set of salt and pepper grinder and it also included curry. From my grandmother I got a nice wee statue of the Gemini, who never knows in which direction to go.
I got a nice necklace from my uncle and his family, with a small piece of lava rock in it. A box of chocoalte from another uncle and his wife. And my friends Guðbjört and Margrét I got a very nice little bag and beautiful earrings, of white glass pearls. The party it self was wonderful. OOh, I can't forget to mention that we had a chocolate fountain running which was a big hit. Must mention that it might not be the best thing to have in a party where little people are. My five year old niece was basically wearing the chocolate after a short while. It was hilarious but worrying if she got to close to you, you could easily have been drowned in chocolate in one of her hugs.
All in all I was very happy and it was wonderful to see so many come.
Now all I do is worry about my exam results. They are likely to be published on Monday and now I am not so sure I want them anymore. I have been checking on Websurf nearly daily since beginning of May and I just don't tink I want to know how badly I did anymore. They should just have phoned all ready and said "there's not a chance in h"#$$ that you are going to be gratuating from this University!!!" not drag this out for so long. So as of yet, I don't know if I am going to Scotland in 4 weeks time for my graduation or a hell of a retail therapy trip.
