It's been like a decade and I still want to bleach my hair and buy all the dark red lipstick every time I see a clip of Noora from Skam (which is popping up on my tiktok fyp now for some reason) like what is this magic?? Why do I love this look so much??

Pet sitting for a friend this weekend and the animals decided to wake the visitor at 6am 😂 I guess it's no different to me getting up at 6 on weekdays for work but I typically get a few more hours on Sundays 🙈

I'm wearing my Christmas jumper (English) as well as a dress (Norwegian), making mac n cheese for dinner (because Christmas dinner is tomorrow - English), and later we're opening presents (Norwegian)! I love our mixed traditions 🥰

As if recovering from surgery wasn't enough this month, my left knee (my right has dislocated multiple times) just decided to do a really weird click and proceed to be super painful and send tingles up to my hip and down to my toes and now I fear I'll just never crouch down for any reason ever again

I've accepted being a clumsy, uncoordinated person who walks into things on a regular basis.
But why does it have to get so much worse when I have a migraine and take prescription medication to get rid of the migraine?! 😭😭😭

I've lost count of how many times I've rewatched Stranger Things over the years, but how have I only JUST noticed that, as Will, Dustin and Lucas leave Mike's house at the start of the first episode, when Will says "it was a seven. The demogorgon, it got me", the lights on the garage flash?!
