<p id="title_div3416188355" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blog.lilyofthevalley.se/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/3416998186_7c0108e711_z.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6036  aligncenter" title="3416998186_7c0108e711_z" src="http://www.blog.lilyofthevalley.se/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/3416998186_7c0108e711_z.jpg" alt="3416998186_7c0108e711_z" width="439" height="640" /><br />

<blockquote><p>Hej Karin! du som bor i kollektiv, hur svårt är de att hitta ett  kollektiv i gbg egentilgen? hur hittade du stället du bor på nu? ja har  tittat på internet men är tacksam för tips på typ hemsidor elr jag vet  inte vad som helst. om man är en 17åring som är social och skötsam  lixom, finns det chanser? hoppas du har det fint,<br />
Lollo</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hej! Nu skrev jag ett långt svar som kanske delvis inte har med din fråga och göra men jag svävade ut och nu vill jag inte ta bort något! Jag, tillsammans med mina vänner Kristina och <a href="http://saudade.ratata.fi/" target="_blank">Julia</a>, sökte helt enkelt stora lägenheter och startade upp vårt eget lilla kollektiv. Nu har jag bott här i tre år och har kontraktet och det har flyttat in och ut lite olika människor genom åren. Vi sökte via någon sida jag har glömt namnet på nu, men det var en betalsida för att  hitta lägenheter. Kan ha varit <a href="http://www.bopunkten.se/" target="_blank">bopunkten</a>, men i så fall har de gjort om sin sida väldigt mycket sedan vi var med där för jag känner inte riktigt igen den, men konceptet är samma. En sån där som man aldrig tror ska fungera, men för oss gick det jättebra och vi fick förstahandskontrakt på den här lägenheten inom 1-2 veckor om jag minns rätt. Men jag vet inte om det är så lätt som det råkade gå för oss, det var mest slumpen som fixade det. Och när vi skulle flytta in här var ingenting färdigbyggt, vi blev hämtade till en skum byggplats i bil och värden ville ha förskottshyra  (9500!) kontant i handen samma dag&#8230; Vi trodde allmänt att vi hade blivit blåsta på hela köret men gjorde det ändå, förstår fortfarande inte varför egentligen. Fick åka hem till hyresvärdens i mitt minne suspekta orangemålade hus i Partille för att skriva kontrakt i hans hemmakontor, han hade rustningar i vardagsrummet och sa att han skulle flytta till Brasilien så snart som möjligt, så det är väl egentligen inte att rekommendera. MEN det gick ju bra den gången iallafall. (GÖR INTE SÅ!!!!) Generellt så är det vad jag förstår lättare att få stora lägenheter i Göteborg än små, eftersom det är så mycket studenter som bor här.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">När Julia, Kristina och jag skulle hitta en sista person att flytta in hos oss, annonserade vi på blocket efter en fjärde, <a href="http://www.plingsulli.se/" target="_blank">Ulrika</a> blev det.  När Kristina &amp; Julia såsmåningom flyttade ut annonserade vi på blocket igen och Linnea och <a href="http://lapositivalanegativa.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Suss</a> flyttade in för att de skrev trevliga och fina svar på vår annons. Så ett tips är ju att leta efter kollektiv på blocket och skriva till folk som låter trevliga. Om du gör det så tycker jag att du ska köra på att inte skriva &#8220;Hej jag vill bo någonstans och jag röker inte inne. Hoppas på snabbt svar!&#8221;  utan berätta om dig själv och hur du är, vad du gillar att göra, varför du vill bo i kollektiv och så vidare. För man får sjukt många svar på en sådan annons i bostadsbristsgöteborg; desperata studenter som söker kollektiv som sistahandslösning, folk som håller på att skilja sig osv. (Inget ont om dem, men de skriver oftast så korta mail att det inte känns som att de är inne i tanken att bo i kollektiv, utan bara hitta någonstans att bo fort, vilket inte gör en så intresserad av att svara och lägga ned tid på att fixa fika, fixa så att alla de andra är hemma och kan träffa personen, ha rundtur i lägenheten och så vidare). Man orkar inte ta över varenda en på någonslags kollektiv-audition eller maila jättemycket med dem, utan går oftast på den som ger ett roligt och trevligt intryck och är öppen nog att berätta om sig själv från början.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2011/10/3416188355_e391042a6c_z.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="3416188355_e391042a6c_z" src="../wp-content/uploads/2011/10/3416188355_e391042a6c_z.jpg" alt="3416188355_e391042a6c_z" width="469" height="640" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Bild via <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maxfriedrich/3416188355/in/photostream/" target="_blank">flickr</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Så, sen kommer du antagligen då få komma hem till dem som söker någon ny till sitt kollektiv &amp; hälsa på dem och titta på rummet.  Det uppskattas om du har tänkt på, och frågar om saker som hur de sköter maten; gemensamt eller ensamma, vegetariskt/veganskt etc, hur städschemat ser ut. Och ha lite koll på om de har något kontrakt mellan varandra om uppsägningstider, skador man orsakar lägenheten/huset &amp; ditt nya rum, för det kan vara väldigt bra att ha. Och har de inte det kan man föreslå att de borde ha det, för det blir lätt dålig stämning om någon känner sig osäker på sin boendesituation.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">För några dagar sedan hamnade jag förresten på <a href="http://www.kollektiv24.forum24.se/kollektiv24-forum-3.html" target="_self">den här sidan för kollektivförmedling</a> så det var ju passande att du frågade just nu! Det finns också en hel del annonser på <a href="http://www.alternativ.nu" target="_blank">alternativ.nu</a>.<br />
Sen finns det också några ordentliga stora kollektiv i Göteborg, exempelvis <a href="http://www.stacken.org/" target="_blank">Stacken</a> och <a href="http://www.tradet.nu/" target="_blank">Trädet</a>, jag har vänner som bor eller har bott i Stacken och det verkar fantastiskt, jag skulle gärna bo där själv någon gång i framtiden. Där kan du skriva en intresseanmälan om vad du skulle vilja ha, men jag tror det är långa väntetider för att få lägenhet och att det är lättare att leta exempelvis i kollektivförmedlingen efter folk som bor där och kommer få ett tomt rum i någon av lägenheterna.</p>
<p>Sista tipset är att fråga på facebook om dina kompisar vet plats i något kollektiv i Göteborg, det är väldigt många som bara gör ett facebookevent och skickar ut i sina bekantskapskretsar när de söker nya kollektivmedlemmar.</p>
<p>Jag tror absolut att det finns chans att få plats i kollektiv, definitivt mycket större chans än att få egen lägenhet! Och det är ändå mycket trevligare att bo i kollektiv tycker jag! Okej, hoppas detta hjälpte lite och lycka till!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Frej gave me his planet shirt! I may have nagged him until he gave in, but still&#8230; This is what I look like today. I might try to do an outfit picture later but for now this will have to do as Frej is forcing me to leave the computer so that he can edit photos for the site. Gotta love him for liking to do that, I find it really dull&#8230;</p>
<p>On a side note, I made Vegan Black Metal Chef&#8217;s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZlih4DDNg" target="_blank">peanut sauce from the first of his videos</a> yesterday, and it was the best thing I have eaten seriously!! I put it in an aubergine and zuccini stew that had crushed tomatoes &amp; cocomilk in it. TRY IT! Just watch the video for the recipe. Seriously, it was the best. Okay, got to go.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Hej Karin!<br />
Jag tror jag frågade förra gången jag skulle till Göteborg (fast på  engelska, känns så dumt ibland att skriva på svenska) om typ de bästa  secondhand i Göteborg. Nu ska jag dit igen den 11 december, så nu frågar  jag igen :)<br />
Förutom secondhands, är det typ ngn affär, galleria elr allmänt awesome  man måste se/göra när man e i Göteborg? Har en hel dag att fylla! :)  Och finns det ngt speciellt veganställe du kan rekommendera? :))<br />
Kramar/Lovisa</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Hej Lovisa! Förlåt om jag glömde svara förra gången, jag missar saker ibland, särskilt när jag tänker att jag ska skriva större inlägg om dem istället för att svara i kommentarerna. Antar att det var så jag tänkte då för jag har tänkt att skriva om bra ställen i Götet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><br />
De bästa second hand-ställena i Göteborg ligger egentligen utanför själva Göteborg, i Angered, Mölndal osv, men några bra som finns mer centralt är <a href="http://www.vintagekartan.se/059560/Ungdomshj%C3%A4lpen_Second_Hand/" target="_blank">Ungdomshjälpen</a> vid Redbergsplatsen, <a href="http://www.holmensmarknad.se/" target="_blank">Holmens marknad</a> vid läppstiftet ungefär (man går genom Centralstationen där bussarna går, och vidare bort mot älven) och <a href="http://saron.unity.se/viewNavMenu.do?menuID=124" target="_blank">Saronkyrkan</a> inne vid Haga. Det är de som är stora, billiga och fulla med folk som hetsar. Sen finns det ju Emmaus vid Järntorget, och ett Myrorna också, och fler vintagebutiker inne i Haga som jag inte klarar av att gå in i för att jag vill köpa för mycket då. På Första långgatan finns ett Röda korset, och en liten affär som heter Börsen second hand, de som har affären är bitska roliga damer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Precis i början av Andra långgatan (om man börjar vid Järntorget) finns ett sött café som heter <a href="http://www.twolittlebirds.se/" target="_blank">Two Little Birds</a>, de har rostade mackor med tofu och lite grönsaker och veganska kakor, enda jobbiga med det stället är att borden är för låga för stolarna så man sitter inte så bekvämt. Fast det finns soffor också, jag har dock aldrig lyckats claima en sådan, brukar vara mycket folk där. På Evas paley på Avenyn och alla Condecofik samt Fröken Olssons finns veganska hallonmuffins. Vid Järntorget ligger även Hälsobaren som jag tycker har den bästa veganska sushin i stan (Vegobågen, be om att få utan omelett). Om man vill äta roligare vegansk mat gillar jag <a href="http://www.oldcorner.net/" target="_blank">Old Corner</a> vid SKF i Gamlestan bäst, de har massor av olika pizzor med lyxiga ingredienser, och vegansk hamburgare, texmex eller nåt som jag inte kommer ihåg riktigt, och en massa pastarätter. Min favoritmat där är tzaypastan. På Avenyn finns Jonsborgs gatukök där man också kan få bra vegansnabbmat.<br />
Gallerior och sånt brukar jag inte hänga på mycket, så jag kan inte rekommendera något speciellt. Tycker om <a href="http://www.prickigkatt.se/shop/" target="_blank">Prickig katt</a> på Vallgatan.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><br />
Det finns en guidesida med veganska ställen i Göteborg: <a href="http://www.vegangoteborg.se/" target="_blank">Vegan Göteborg</a>. De listar alla restauranger som har åtminstone någon eller några veganska rätter att erbjuda. Om man gillar indisk mat är Tre Indier bäst tycker jag, sjukt gott.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Sen tycker jag inte du ska missa <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=156873937691262&amp;index=1" target="_blank">HDKs julmarknad</a> som är i helgen! HDK ligger vid Avenyn, typ vid hållplats Valand.<br />
Säg hej om du ser mig någonstans! Hoppas det blir roligt och att detta hjälpte lite. Kram!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">+++ Had such a nice weekend in Stockholm visiting my babe Adina!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Firstly, I missed a couple of trains because I was going to bid on tickets online which totally failed. I had to take the bus, which takes 7 hours and was pretty disappointed. But as the bus stopped in Jönköping, a man got on it and sat down next to me. After a while he asked me what I was reading (Selma Lagerlöf, Sagan om en Saga) and then I asked him what he was reading. Turned out he was checking out the script for a book he was to publish, on &#8220;real economy&#8221; as he said. I thus asked if by real economy he meant solidar systems and he said yes! I said I had just finished a book on the subject and mentioned the name &#8211; turned out he was the one who had published it. We then talked for five hours, came to Stockholm, met up with Adina and went straight to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Korten" target="_blank">David Korten</a> seminar where I also met the writer of the book I had read, Åsa Brandberg. AWESOME!<br />
Adina and I then went back to her place, watched random Bruce Willis movie and ate heaps of good food.</p>
<p></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Here&#8217;s a 50 minute seminar with David Korten for whoever is up for it!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zdsZ_lLz07Q&amp;hl=sv_SE&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zdsZ_lLz07Q&amp;hl=sv_SE&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">The day after that, Adina, her boyfriend Mika, his grandmother Karen and I went to an antique fair in Kista. I got a bunch of really great things; 60s white boots, a 30s dress, an umbrella holder thingie and two antique medical books which I will all show when it&#8217;s light outside and I can take pictures. I also got interviewed about my collecting antique photographies by the magazine Antik&amp;Auktion. Will scan when it comes out in stores!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">We then went to a party at <a href="http://www.naomi.se/">Naomi</a>s place, to see her and <a href="http://www.liselotteeriksson.com/" target="_blank">Lisis</a> and drink cider &amp; vodka and danced to the Ark in the living room. Hadn&#8217;t seen Lisis in almost two years so it was great to see her again! My camera was on the brink of dying this whole day though so I didn&#8217;t dare to use it. I know both Lisis &amp; Naomi took pictures though so I&#8217;m hoping to see them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Here&#8217;s one I just stole off of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lisis/" target="_blank">Lisis flickr.</a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.blog.lilyofthevalley.se/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/4320339574_b547c2cd2c_o.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2707" title="4320339574_b547c2cd2c_o" src="http://www.blog.lilyofthevalley.se/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/4320339574_b547c2cd2c_o.jpg" alt="4320339574_b547c2cd2c_o" width="474" height="709" /><br />
</a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">The day after that was a tired day though I managed to go to Myrorna in Skärholmen with Adina and Mika and then get into town to see Mican and her boyfriend who I hadn&#8217;t met before and who was lovely. We went to Kulturhuset to look at the Shirin Neshat exhibit<em> Women without Men.</em> Then we had coffee, raspberry pie (made my head spin) and then beer aswell.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">+++ Just found my favourite book, <em>The Heart Pincher </em>by Boris Vian on Bokbörsen which is an online second hand book store! Ordered it straight away! My friend Maya borrowed it from me a couple of years ago and then the bag which it was in got stolen from her rental car in Dublin. Sad day!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">+++ Adina and I watched a bunch of movies in Stockholm, the best one of which was definitely <a href="http://www.ginger-snaps.com/" target="_blank">Ginger Snaps</a>. (Check out the perfect website!!!) I love outsider goth/alternative girl movies (besides <em>Ghost World</em> which I absolutely couldn&#8217;t stand) and I love high school movies, and werewolves too! And funny dialogue!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Ok people, this is me trying to get a bit more organized. +++ is a category for everything that I like or that is great or interesting but that I kind of usually neglect to post here because I don&#8217;t like making a post with just a sentence and a link to a site that I think is good or whatever&#8230; I&#8217;ll try to summarize it all in one post every week instead. Hope you like!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">+++ </span></strong></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Best thing of this week is definitely that I&#8217;m going to Adina in Stockholm on Thursday! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">&lt;3 We haven&#8217;t seen eachother in like six months, maybe more.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"> But now I have time and money to get to stay from Thursday to Sunday &amp; we&#8217;re going to cook and eat lots of food! Yay!</span><strong><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"> </span></strong></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Eating rules, Adina rules, both together = awesome!<strong>!</strong> And Lisis &amp; Naomi and her flatmate are throwing a party aswell! Looking forward to this weekend a lot!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"> </span><strong><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"> </span></strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><br />
+++ </span></strong></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">I cleaned the flat yesterday and this morning and am now plotting how to decorate the hallway further since it&#8217;s kinda sad looking with no place to hang your jackets and coat. Am also fantasizing about amazing wallpapers or painting a mural in the living room! </span><strong><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"> </span></strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><br />
+++ </span></strong></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Started watching old episodes of Criminal Minds <a href="http://www.surfthechannel.com/show/44.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"> Great distraction from life &amp; I can iron things while I&#8217;m watching. I&#8217;ve gotten a little obsessed with ironing since I got my board back, and think I will sew more now aswell!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">+++ Saw Johanna today after class and walked around town with her, went to <a href="http://dromma.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">the lovely Lotta of vintage shop Drömma</a>, had sushi, I got litterature for my new course in global development studies &amp; now I&#8217;m at Frejs place drinking tea and am supposed to read a Hettne book &amp; mend my coat. All in all a very good day!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><br />
<strong><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">+++</span></strong></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"> I like this little short film about <a href="http://www.impossiblehamster.org/" target="_blank">the Impossible Hamster</a>!<br />
</span></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;We wanted to confront people with the meaning and logical conclusion of the promise of endless economic growth. We used a hamster to illustrate what would happen if there were no limits to growth because they double in size each week before reaching maturity at around 6 weeks. But if a hamster grew at the same rate until its first birthday, wed be looking at a nine billion tonne hamster, which ate more than a years worth of world maize production every day. There are reasons in nature, why things dont grow indefinitely. As things are in nature, sooner or later, so they must be in the economy. As economic growth rises, we are pushing the planet ever closer to, and beyond some very real environmental limits. With every doubling in the global economy we use the equivalent in resources of all of the previous doublings combined.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><strong><strong>+++</strong></strong> Resan till Melonia (the Journey to Melonia) is one of the sweetest films I&#8217;ve seen in a long time. I have seen it when I was a child aswell but only once I think, because I only remembered small details. Now Becka, Miranda and I re-watched it this weekend and it&#8217;s such a beautiful movie with animations by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_%C3%85hlin" target="_blank">Per Åhlin</a> &amp; the voices of some of my favourite people including Hans Alfredson and Allan Edwall. (and Robyn!)<br />

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">Plot from Wikipedia:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;The beautiful paradise island Melonia is inhabited by the sorcerer Prospero with his daughter Miranda, the albatross Ariel, the good-natured vegetable-faced gardener Caliban and William the dog-nosed poet. They live a generally peaceful life, except for Caliban who has to work hard with the garden. A few miles away lies the dark island Plutonia, where the greedy industrialists Slug and Slagg rule. Once as green and flourishing as Melonia, Plutonia is now percieved as hell on earth, where children are forced to, under slave conditions, build weapons and tools of war, which Slug and Slagg believe is the way of the future. With Plutonia&#8217;s resources nearly exhausted, Slug and Slagg turn their gaze on the unexploited Melonia, scheming to take it over with a gigantic drill&#8230;&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
