Our house
I can no longer imagine living on my own. How boring. For the past 4 years I have shared a house with at least two people. At the most I shared a two bedroom flat with five other girls. That was at the beginning of this London adventure. One is forced to open up, to compromise, and to accept that everyone isn't as anal when it comes to keeping things tidy as you (that is, me). Casa de Shore Road is an eclectic mix of Brazilian (samba), Italian (cheese) and Swedish (filmjolk) influences.
My house is currently filled with people - Italian, Brazilian and British, and lil ol'me. I'm sitting in my room researching the vast blog community that exist out there, enjoying the buzz from the livingroom. I guess that is also how you can describe the blog world. A livingroom, full of opinions and stories that are made public and meaningful by the people who write them.
Blogs can be many things. They can be a form of protest, like Generation Y; and they can be a way to revisit subjects and consider their relevance today, as in Regrets only: An Africa Journal (I can't get the link function to work, but I have added both blogs to my personal links). What I think blogs in general have in common is their almost meditative quality. A way of releasing what is pushing to get out. It doesn't really matter what.
Just as how sharing a household can make you to open up, and to constantly add things to your cultural frame of reference, the blog community does something similar. I think it's amazing. Freedom of speech and all that...
My flatmate just brought me some Tiramisu. Delicia. I'm going to enjoy that, and then sleep.
Life is good.

när du ska posta (swedish word for that, please) en länk så markerar du ordet länken syftar till, t ex "ida", och så klickar du på symbolen som ser ut som en länk. sen skiver du bara in länkadressen, plus en förklaring (helt oviktigt men det syns när man drar musen över länken) och så är det klart.
ps. varför länk till carl bildt??

Mucho obrigada linda. Kunde inte fa det att fungera pa min Mac's weblasare bara.
Regarding Calle Bildt: You know my political past. Also, he writes every day religiously, and I think it's an interesting look into the daily life of our foreign minister who does a lot of interesting things.
