Ask me a question: Why aren’t you studying?
I’d be so happy if you people wanted to fill this out! Especially you who usually don’t comment. You can be anonymous if you want to and skip questions if you feel like it.

Ask me a question:
I love that 90% of the people who have used keywords to find this blog have been looking for “nude roskilde 2009″ or “naked roskilde” or “naken roskilde” or the like.
Today is writing code and drinking coffee. Frej is cleaning his computer and is all excited about that, I sit around with my feet in his lap and laptop in my own, writing a website about “big felines” by force and feeling quite bored.
I get asked one question in particular all the time in real life so I thought I should write about it here! The question is why my store is called Lily of the Valley. There are some different reasons that made me want to have the name but really it was mainly a coincidence, my ex-boyfriend John was reading out of an english dictionary and read a couple of words out loud and then he said Lily of the Valley and I said YESSS!
1. Lilly is my grandmother’s name.
2. Lilies of the Valley have always been my favourite flower along with forget-me-nots and one of the very few scents I like (I have a very crappy sense of smell and can hardly smell anything, and I’m even worse with remembering smells but Lily of the Valley I do remember)
3. Lily Karin Linnéa is also my own name these days
4. Lily is a beautiful song by Kate Bush
I took some pictures of Frejs art! He’s the best, I would think so even if he wasn’t my love and partner in crime.
My favourite. It’s a bit blurry in this picture sadly but I didn’t have the energy to go and take more pics.
A picture of me & my friends at a reclaim a while ago. I like it because it looks like a movie still.
Today I got this crappy virus in my computer. I didn’t install it all the way through though because I thought it looked suspicious, but I still can’t make it go away and I’m scared of using the computer and somehow making it worse. Now I’m on Frejs computer and can’t do anything of use, so annoying!
Now I’m gonna go read my book, drink tea and be cranky until Frej comes home and see if he has any other ideas on how to get rid of it.
Greenpeace are running a petition to make more of the world’s leaders come to the immensely important Climate Summit in Copenhagen in December. Go there and sign it, it will take you less than 30 seconds!
Are you going to Copenhagen? I sure am!
Today I:
+ Overslept until 11 though I was going to work hard on my school work
+ Got locked out of the kitchen (Frej lives in a student housing and shares a kitchen) because Frej brought the key to work. Couldn’t eat until I was let in by one of his neighbours.
+ Have a terrible headache from oversleeping + heat I guess, nothing helps and I can hardly move my head
+ Didn’t get half of the things I was going to do done
+ Am so warm but have to have a blanket over my legs since the laptop burns me otherwise and there is no desk in this apartment!
+ Aaand my arms hurt from the computer again, thought it had gotten better but now it’s pretty bad. Not much to do when you study by distance & run a store online.
All I want to do is whine, so good thing I have this blog!
On the bright side I am reading a very good book (Maksim Gorkij – My Childhood) and I will soon bake me some cupcakes to cheer me up.
Mr Gorkij. Or Gorky, I’m always confused as to if I should write the english way of spelling when I am writing in english. Doesn’t feel right when it comes to names.
I like bloglovin even though it’s made my internetting too efficient so that I don’t have anything to do half the time. I do recommend you joining and follow blogs from there. I used to have the google RSS feed thing but deleted my google account (this was when I also accidentally deleted my swedish blog) when I was trying to stay off the internet due to hurting arms.
I love street art just as anybody else my age :P And one of my favourite flickr groups is Anatomical Street Art. There is also the wonderful blog Street Anatomy.
I used to have that illustration to the right as a patch on my hoodie when I was 15. Happy to see it around!
