My days with Kristine!

I know I haven't been writing a whole lot lately, but I don't have that many readers anyway, so I hope not too many people have been upset.

Anyway! the last few days has been a lot of fun. Kristine and I went to Southampton to shop, we went out drinking (she and Liva drank while I watched haha) and we've been out to eat, a lot. As I've already said (I think), we went to Southampton to shop on wednesday, which were a lot of fun, I think we probably cleared out about a quarter of all the clothes in Primark, haha! We went to Nando's for dinner that day, and if you read this, Sharleen, you are right, Nando's is heaven on earth!

In Southampton I also had my Conch pierced (I think I might have mentioned  this before), but because my phone has decided to act like an idiot, I can't show you a picture, unfortunately.. Some day, when I get a phone that works properly, though!

Wednesday night, we had a quiet night in my room with some girl talk, facials and other stuff. Lots of fun and the sort of thing I wish we had the time to do a bit more often, just hanging out looking horrible together! 

Thursday, we went to my lecture. It was fairly interesting, to be honest. It was about female criminals and how they are treated very differently to male criminals. The bad thing about the lecture was the fact that the lecture room was so hot you could fry an egg on the chairs in there.. Anyway. Afterwards we went home to mine to get ready and go to the pub. Kristine got to meet some of the very, very special people that hang around in there sometimes as well as some of my closest friends. All in all, a good night, I think!

Me and my ginger before hitting the pub! 

We also went to Southampton saturday night for a night out. We started at the Hobbit, a bar that's inspired by the Lord of the Rings. They have 8 pint sized drinks named after characters and such from the movies and it seemed like a really fun place to hang out! I had a Gollum, which was really good! I'll write down the recipe for it in the end of the blog post. We then went wandering around looking for a couple of places that Live had been reccommended, but we couldn't find it and ended up getting the bus to the train station and then we went home to Winchester. Finally back, we headed down to Alfies, one of my favourite pubs in the whole world! We had a lot of fun and I love that Liva, who's one of my best friends in England and Kristine, who is one of my best friends in Norway, went along with each other so well! I love them both to bits and being able to hang out with both at the same time was amazing!

At Alfies, you can buy these wristbands (the pink one was for last semester, the blue one is for this semester) that gives you a lot of great discounts if you show then to the bartender when ordering drinks! I'm collecting them, haha!

From saturday when we went out in Southampton. 

This is the dress I was wearing! Got it at Primark in Southampton, 

think it was £7 or something. 

Yesterday we didn't really do much. We ordered some food for breakfast and then we slept for another 2-3 hours. I was really tired since we had been up all night and Kristine was really hungover, so it took a while before we were able to function properly. However, when we finally did, we went down to Queens to ask Liva if she wanted to hang out and then we went to Wetherspoons to have dinner. They have the most amazing double bacon cheese burger and I know that I'm supposed to be eating healthy and all, but I really needed that! When we finished dinner, we went down to Alfies again just to hang out and wait for the coach that Kristine was getting to Gatwick to get there.

All in all I've had some really great days with some of my favourite people, so I'm very happy at the moment! Really looking forward to visiting Kristine for a few days in Oslo before going home for easter, we are going to see Oslo Ess live at Rockefeller, it's going to be AMAZING! We've been to see them once before and they have jsut come out with a new record, so that's going to be one fantastic night!

Today I've been trying to be a bit productive. I've cleaned my room since two girls in a single room creates a lot of mess. I started taking all my clothes out of my closet to fold them so that they'll be easier to find in there when Liva sent me a message asking if I wanted to go to Cyber Italia with her around half 5-6. I then abandoned the clothes on the floor and went to make dinner. I thought I'd post the recipe for this amazing little dish on here, so that you guys can try it out for yourself, because this is simply too good to keep to myself!

Looks amazing, right? It was! 

Chicken stirfry with mango chutney sause

What you need (2 portions):

Stirfry

1 pack instant noodles, chicken flavour
4-500 g chicken filet
300 g oriental stirfry mix (peppers, onion, sweet corn, bean sprout, sweet peas)

Mango chutney sause

2-3 tbs mango chutney
4 tbs soy sause
2 cloves of garlic
1/5 lime
rosemary
ground cumin

What you do:

• Put on the noodles like it says on the package.
• Dice the chicken filet. When you're done with this, the noodles should be done (especially if meat knife is as dull as mine..)
• Cut up the garlic and mix with mango chutney, soy sause, the juice from the lime and spices in a bowl. Put the vegetables into the bowl as well and mix it all.
• Fry the chicken in two batches in a frying pan until it's brown and crispy. when the chicken is done, put it in a pot.
• Put the vegetable mix and noodles together in the frying pan to mix it and heat it up a bit. When you've done this, if your frying pan is big enough, put the pieces of chicken back into the frying pan to mix with the sause and vegetables. If your frying pan is the same size as mine (too small, that is), put the vegetable/noodle mix into the pot with the chicken to mix it.
• Serve! 

If you want to serve it with a really cool drink, here's how you make a Gollum! 

This is what you need:

Bols blue

Orange juice

Sprite or lemonade

Ice

Here's what you do:

• Put ice in a big glass (pint)
• Pour 2 oz (or as much as you want really) of bols blue into the glass.
• Throw in some orange juice until the drink has a lovely green colour.
• Top it all with lemonade or sprite.
• enjoy! 

Right! I'm heading down to Cyber Italia with Liva in a little while, so I'm going to put my face (mu make up) on and then go do some real work. 

Picture from last saturday

Last sunday I wrote about the night out we had on saturday, where I ended up being way too drunk for my own good. Too drunk for anyone's good, really.
Anyway, today, this picture se uploaded on facebook by Hollie, who lives in the flat where we had pre drinks. I can't remember this photo being taken, but it shows quite clearly that I had a lot of fun that night! I can't say that I think it's all that pretty, but since I've had a couple of Norwegian friends message me saying it's the most fun picture of me they've ever seen, I guess I short of have to Lee it anyway.
By the way, if anyone else in the photo want me to take it down, I'll delete this blog post.

Rough morning

Hey!

So, I'm having a rough morning. My mum is coming to visit next weekend to bring me the heart medication my GP in Norway prescribed, because you're not allowed to send medication in the mail. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to drink while I'm on them, I just know that they'll slow down my heart beat, so I have a feeling that I can't. Anyway, since that's happening next weekend and I'll probably be on those mediactions for a while, I thought I might as well go all out this weekend, and so I did.

Me and Liva (the Norwegian girl I hang out with basically every day) went into town to buy alcohol and a present for Rodyna, since we were celebrating her birthday yesterday. We got her a 1D lunchbox and water bottle, and she was really happy with it! Anyway, Liva and I got ready in her flat before heading down to the flat where Rodyna, Hollie and Line (another Norwegian) lives. We had predrinks in their kitchen while Hollie and Line got ready, which was quite fun! When we finally decided that it was time to go (about 10.30), I was so drunk I was having issues finishing sentences and I suppose theres no need to mention that I was drunkest of us all. We went to County Arms, which is the pub right across the road from my accomodations,  before heading into town, which was a good idea, because I didn't get any further. Not that I got sick or anything, but I felt like I was too drunk to go into town because that meant that I would get more to drink and I probably would end up on the floor in a bathroom, hugging the toilet and I would ruin Rodynas night because she and the rest would have to take care of me. So, good girl right there! I went home to my flat, fell down on the bed and checked the time. 11.50.... I was flat out drunk and it wasn't even midnight!

Today I woke up at 5.30, more dehydrated than the sahara desert, drank about two pints of coke and tried to go to sleep, but it was impossible. Watched two episodes of Game of Thrones but I have no idea of what they were about.. It's a good series, tho!

Rodyna, Line and Hollie before we went out! 

I hate outfit blog posts, but this is what I was wearing! 

Necklace from H&M, dress from Primark, leather jacket from Cubus, Converse

At the moment I'm trying to track down the people I went out with yesterday to find out why my ancle hurts. I can't move it too much and it's a bit swollen, but I can't remember falling or tripping.. When I can manage, I'm hoping to get a bit further in cleaning my room, I've spent a week on it already and it still doesn't look half way good enough to invite people in. Getting there, tho! At 4 I'm  heading over to the train station because I have a date today! I have no idea of what to wear or what to do with my hair, the only thing I know for sure is that this girl is NOT having any alcohol today. I'm really excited tho, he seems nice! 

Right, going to stop using the blog to procrastinate and actually get some stuff done!

Harry Potter Drinking Game!

Hey!

So, yesterday was fun! I finally managed to get myself back to the flat without drowning in the rain, and when I got there, me an Sharleen (she lives in the room next to mine in our flat), decided to do the Harry Potter Drinkng Game. The rules are fairly simple, you put on any Harry Potter movie, and then you drink according to the following rules until you are either too drunk or you've watched the whole movie:

1 drink if:

• Anyone is awarded house points
• Hagrid talks about a magical creature
• Harry is mistreated by the Dursley's
• Someone casts a spell
• Madame Hooch is on screen
• A flame of any sorts is in the shot
• Draco sneers at anyone

2 drinks if: 

• House points are taken away
• Neville does or says anything stupid
• A character's pet is mentioned by name
• Professon Flitwich is on screen
• Professor McGonagall says "Potter"
• Crabbe and/or Goyle are on screen
• Draco says "mudblood"
• Harry is on a broom

3 drinks if:

• Hagrid says "I shouldn't have told you that"
• Professor Snape looks down his nose at someone
• Hermione raises her hand in class
• Hermione says "Hogwarts... A history" 
• Professor Sprout is on screen
• A painting talks
• An owl makes a delivery

4 drinks if:

• Fred and George say a sentence in unison
• Professor Dumbledore shares a knowing glance with Harry
• Harry mentions his parents
• Harry mentions Sirius
• Someone says "Voldemort"
• Harry faints around a Dementor
• Ron says "Bloody hell!"
• Ron is jealous of Harry
• You see a house elf
• Harry cries

Chug your drink if:

• Harry saves the day
• Harry catches the snitch
• Voldemort is on screen

In other words, you need a lot of alcohol and you need to be really into Harry Potter, neither of which is a big issue for me. We only did the first movie and the first two sets of rules, and that's a good thing, because we were giggling before they had started the sorting at Hogwarts.. 

This is Sharleen yesterday, about half way through the movie. Packed into her raindeer onesie, drinking raspberry vodka and coke! We had been giggling for quite a while when I took that photo, haha! 

This is the first time I've ever done the HP drinking game, and I think (hope) that I'll be able to do it again, it's a fun way to get really drunk, haha! 

I've been a Harry Potter fan for ages. 11 years I think it's been, actually, since I first started reading the books. I have absolutely no idea of how many times I've read the books or seen the movies, but they never get boring! 

All crazy fangirls needs some proof of her insanity that she can easily carry around with her where ever she goes. This is mine. I'm probably adding to this tattoo later, putting in a crown with a W inside it, because "Weasley is our king" and all that. 

I'll do a post at some other time, with pictures of my other tattoos and piercings when I get around to it! Don't know if that's at all interesting to anyone else but me, but that sucks for you, doesn't it? :)
