My old people and their computers

Okay, I don’t “have” old people. And at the same time I do. I have 17 of them in 2 groups. Accidents happen. And friends do too. Since my accident it was hard to come to grips with the fact that I would never have a real job again. I can’t work 40 hours perContinue reading “My old people and their computers”

If love gets boring, you’re doing it wrong

Do you love your significant other? Since when? If it’s since long, do you still love her (or him or them or it) as much as in the beginning? (I mean with the whole butterflies in your belly part.) With Valentine’s Day behind us, which my wife and I spent in a most wonderful way,Continue reading “If love gets boring, you’re doing it wrong”

Elisa & Marcella. A lesbian love story.

We watched this film this week. It was… eye opening. I’ll try to put the story down here without spoilers. The movie shows the life of 2 Spanish lesbian women in the late 19th and early 20th century. All they want is to live together and be happy, but the ideas and norms of thatContinue reading “Elisa & Marcella. A lesbian love story.”

Looking back at a full week

Yes, I had a really full week. When I look at the number of words I put into Hekser this week, it’s obvious I’ve been busy. I have an actual job again. After a few times of teaching senior citizens how to use a computer, e-mail and web browsers (which is a lot of fun,Continue reading “Looking back at a full week”

Rolling by hand. Because I got that power

This morning we were out and about, doing the shopping thing and all. We were having some coffee and kringla (Norwegian cookies) when this dude came up to us and asked how we were doing. That was a bit weird. People here generally don’t ask that unless they know you. But we were in aContinue reading “Rolling by hand. Because I got that power”

Life in the slow lane. The race is off.

Have you ever stopped to consider how life changing events can change your life? This probably sounds weird but since the accident I have had plenty of time to think about that. My life used to be the same fast-paced thing that so many people entertain. The weird thing is that I didn’t know IContinue reading “Life in the slow lane. The race is off.”

What matters is who makes you smile again

Who made you smile again? I found this picture a few days ago and decided to keep it on my computer. When I read this, I crashed into tears. These words are so true, though. All the world can do its best to hurt or break you, but if there is that one person, thatContinue reading “What matters is who makes you smile again”

I refuse to let other people take my happiness away

There. I said it. It’s my happiness and I’m gonna own it like a boss. Yes. That’s a wheelchair. I have one. I need it. Today we were grocery shopping and in the supermarket they always play the coolest music so I sit in my chair and dance as much as I can. I triedContinue reading “I refuse to let other people take my happiness away”

Happy new year everyone

Gods. I never thought I would use this blog thing so much. Tonight we go to my in-laws. We’ll be stuffed and we’ll have fun. There will be more family too, some of them I haven’t seen in a while and it makes me dead nervous. They haven’t seen me since I got out ofContinue reading “Happy new year everyone”

Some stuff – and a new Hekser chapter

Life has been a strange roller coaster these few past days. I got me a twitter account. It’s an amazing place, truly, but it can be scary too. You have to watch out who you follow. I got stalked by some creep who kept sending me messages, asking weird questions. He really freaked me out,Continue reading “Some stuff – and a new Hekser chapter”
