This entry will be a place to put quiz results, interesting mumbojumbo and all those anoying things that I don't want to fill my journal with, but still want to have.

Just wanted to congratulate you all on surviving the year 2005.

Last night was nice:) We ate at home and then we took our daughter to my parents. She slept there because we were going to go to party's and stuff.

After dropping her of we stopped at one of the bonfires and took some pictures.

Then we went home and watched the yearly comedy show and got ourselves ready.

Next we drove up to a place above the city and took some pictures. There we met a group of mormons and since we had a truckload of fireworks we shared them with them. Quite a nice moment, the heathens bringing joy to the mormons, and all being merry. Of course we didn't tell them we were heathens but I did reject an offer of a pamphlet. It was nice, really nice.

Then we went home and decided we were to lazy to go out. So we went to sleep.

It was nice, nice, nice.

I like this new year, what I've seen of it. Now we are going out for our annual Chinese food. Picking up our little angel first of course.

Hope you all had a nice last year and that this one will bring luck and good moments.

In the year 2006 I resolve to: Sing like no one is around, all the time! Get your resolution here

I was answering journal entry today. It was about what I do when I am feeling depressed. I thought I'd put it here for later times.

The thing I do is find an old memory, a nice one, like drinking tea at grandmas or something and just try to relive it to the max. It's not a cure, but it takes your mind of it for a sec and helps me kind of get in touch with that warm core I need sometimes. Usualy I'm not a mushy person, but I feel sometimes I need to get in touch with my core.

Nature does it for me too, going outside and watching the moon, going for a walk in a quiet place, or with a cd player.

Notice the litle things, detail of leaves and such. It's incredible what it can do for you.

And lastly I have two good rituals I use some times... They may sound silly but they work like magic ;) Actually that is all there is to magic folks...

Last night Icelanders celebrated Christmass. Although I am a pagan, I still celebrate it as a family night. I look at it as a memory of childhood and since my parents and most of Iceland is christian, I join in, both for my daughter L (cause it is a lot of fun) and because I like the evening. It's all full of pagan symbology anyways.

We got ready and went over to my moms, where she dressed my daughter into a wonderfull christmass dress she bought in the USA this fall. She looked like an angel nothing less.

Then we had a wonderfull dinner and at the end there was rice pudding with a alamadelgift. Mom won the price and L helped her open the packet. It was a snowman decoration and mom tryed her best to give it to L but she insisted that my mom won the price so she should get it. She is so principled.

After eating way to much dinner as one is supposed to, we fell into the sofa to let it settle in and had coffee. Then L got to get the packets and brought them over to my dad who read the labels and then L would bring them to whoever ovned it. Needless to say most of the presents were for her :)

We all had such fun unwraping and seeing what we got.

After that we went to my mothers sisters house to dance around the christmas tree and then home.

All together it was a lovely night.

So to those who celibrate Christmass, Merry Christmass,
To those who celibrate Yule or Jól as we call it in Iceland, Happy Yule,
And to all the others, Happy Holidays or High winterseason.

Ok, so I'm trying a new way of getting myself to start using this livejournal more. I have woved to make an entry every day, and if I miss one I'll make two the next one. And if I have nothing to say I'll still post a random thing from the internet. I know I have made an entry for today but I saw this thing and had to try:

Your Birthdate: April 28

You have a Type A personality so big it makes other Type A's shrink away in shame. You never shy away from adversity - and you love to tackle impossible problems. Failure is not an option for you, and more than a few people are put off by your ego. You tend to be controlling, and you hate leaving anything up to chance. Your strength: Your bold approach to life Your weakness: You don't accept help Your power color: Bronze Your power symbol: Pyramid Your power month: October

So your task for today: tell me how well this fits me!

A lot has been said about how to prevent rape.
Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. Women shouldn't have long hair and women shouldn't wear short skirts. Women shouldn't leave drinks unattended. Fuck, they shouldn't dare to get drunk at all.

Instead of that bullshit, how about:

if a woman is drunk, don't rape her.
if a woman is walking alone at night, don't rape her.
if a women is drugged and unconscious, don't rape her.
if a woman is wearing a short skirt, don't rape her.
if a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don't rape her.
if a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you're still hung up on, don't rape her.
if a woman is asleep in her bed, don't rape her.
if a woman is asleep in your bed, don't rape her.
if a woman is doing her laundry, don't rape her.
if a woman is in a coma, don't rape her.
if a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don't rape her.
if a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don't rape her.

if a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don't rape her.
if your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don't rape her.
if your step-daughter is watching tv, don't rape her.
if you break into a house and find a woman there, don't rape her.
if your friend thinks it's okay to rape someone, tell him it's not, and that he's not your friend.

if your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.
if your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the police and tell the guy he's a rapist.

tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it's not okay to rape someone.

don't tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape.
don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x.
don't imply that it's in any way her fault.
don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl.

don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions. You can, too, help yourself.

If you agree, re-post it. It's that important.
