Cleaning out my closet (again)
Ryddet i gamle pappesker fulle av ting i dag. (Viktig: Ikke for å finne tilbake min barndoms uskyld, men fordi mamma ønsket det.)
Der fant jeg mange skolebøker. Den ene var fra andre klasse, og det sto skrevet:
"jeg ønsker meg at ale barn får en mamma og papa og nok mat og spise jeg ønsker også at det skal bli fred i verden." Under denne teksten hadde jeg tegnet at barn som lå i en seng full av blod (????)
Jeg fant også min egen CD-mix fra barneskolen; "Fridas CD mix". På denne var Nellys Its getting hot in here, Nellys Ride with me, Beyonces Work it out, Eves Let me blow ya mind og No Doubts Hey baby! Jeg er glad Aasta oppdaget Nirvana i ung alder!

Omgangssyke
Når du e på badet og lyset e på og du stirre rett fram i ti minutter men alt e svart, då vett du at du e syk.
