By the way, we just started a group called ATV! Will explain the purpose of this Sorority later!

Wednesday

Rock n roll roomies + guests + king’s cup = Legen-fucking-DAIRY.

We have realised that it doesn’t matter how long you practice your English, starbucks personnel will still ask you the question (or assume) "Where are you from?”

Since we are such rich students we took a cab from downtown to home and got ready for some basketball!
Linnea did a great job, but the other team’s cheerleaders were real cheerlosers, with too short tops and mediocre kicks.

After the game we got ready to PART-A!

A whole lot of drinks later, we went to Sharkeez to shake, and we shook.

Erica resolved a fight on the street. Linnea fell on the street... and Maria fooled some guys she was French (on the street).

There was a big Swedish reunion on the dance floor, and feeding of shots in the bathroom.

After a short but fun visit to sharkeez, some of us were still up for more partying, so we went to La Breeza to after party at Empa’s. Drama, drama, drama. Home.

The night’s insight; say the right name during”the act”.

Night snack: noodles in taco bread with chilli beans. Delish.

Thursday

Hangover. House woke up at 12.

We (Erica and Maria) finally decided to do something, so went to east campus and tried to refund books, get a job and grow up. We failed miserably. Books are now recycled, job applications need to be handed in and we still giggle like little girls when we fall on our ass.   

We then decided to go downtown and enjoy a Starbuck. But we got distracted by a Norwegian guy in a leather jacket at the bus stop, and accidentally got on the bus to IV, where we did a lot of shopping, and came to realise that Starbucks is like men.  Sometimes you get your choice of coffee, perfectly made and exactly like you want it (hot). But other times you get some lop warm fucked up green gue that tastes like shit and the staff forget your name. Starbucks is like men. Period.

Some 15 year olds hit on us in McDonalds, just after finishing their happy meal. At least the men (boys) in this country have a lot of self-confidence. Although their faces are asymmetrical.

We changed clothes in the bathroom at McDonalds (not using our hands) and took the bus back home.

Cravings for brie cheese and crackers settled in around 10pm this evening so we once again took the bus to (what we thought) Albertson’s to buy what we needed to fulfil our wildest cheese and cracker dreams. To not miss the bus back home we had to run which led to a butt injury (not to mention the shame) for Maria and a lot abs for Erica. Albertson’s was closed (what we thought) so 7-eleven became our life saver instead. The bus driver saw the slippery fall and we had a good laugh on our way back home.

Now we are full of Reese and Phish Food and it’s time to go to bed.

Sleep well Santa Barbara and mums; lock up your sons.

Xoxo Maria & Erica

The fifth musketeer is back, finally!

Ylva, Erica and Catherine are sitting with their computers having something that looks like a LAN in one of apt. 123's rooms. Maria is in the shower, Linnea and Vicks are still sleeping and Serena as well.
Later, if/when the heavy rain and the storm are over, it's time for some downtown-spending...and Staaaarbucks!

Tonight it's Sharkeey's ftw! Pre party at our house or at La Breza, King's Cup, nice music and good company! Well girls, are you game?

/Xoxo

Hi,

have been in the sun all day and now I'm so tired and I think it's time for someone else from the crew to take charge over the writing here on the blog; my brain is out of service.

Nothing much is going on in no. 123; we have a well working Internet, new food in the refrigerator and Chai tea in the mug which means it is all set for a fantastic evening.
The Hookah has to wait, sorry about that...

Best Regards
"The one and only E"

Hi,
Catherine and Romy were horse riding today up in the mountains and I was out for a power walk which has become my new daily activity. Hurray!
Linnea and her friends came home from L.A today as well and now after some catching up and over 100 pictures later, they are watching a movie and I'm sitting in the living room waiting for my sister and my little sunshine to log in to Skype (my beloved Maximus; the one and only).
Blatten is already sleeping and so does Romy. After four hours on the horseback they have muscle pain and no energy at all. Told you, you shouldn't involve yourself with horses...


The fire alarm went on today again, but this time we took out the battery and now its as dead as Catherine’s butt. Tomorrow we will replace it with a new one, should Catherine do the same?

Good morning Sweden, good night Santa Barbara!

Xoxo,
E

Hi,

Yesterday began as a nice and calm day with some easy shopping downtown and a nice lunch at some Italian place on State Street, but ended chaotic in apartment no 123. The fire alarm went on, totally without any reason! We all got scared and had no idea what to do. What caused the alarm in the first place? Anyway, after me screaming what the other two had to do and after Catherine’s concern where to put all the candles in case someone showed up calmed down, the alarm stopped automatically. We went to bed anxious that night…

Catherine has been redoing her nails today; they got yellow and discolored last time, while me and Romy have just been home doing nothing. I have been watching Dirty Sexy Money marathon (almost no time for breaks; as it should be when you are watching a marathon) and Romy has been playing this annoying Mario-game on her computer almost all day (btw, I will have nightmares about the sound). Totally out of control!

Tomorrow it’s time for the Swiss ladies to go to Camarillo Outlet. I’m not coming; instead I’m going to take a power walk before breakfast and then call COX so they can fix our still not working Internet.

For your information; Swiss people can’t translate properly nor buy beer to an underage without reveal who it’s really for.

Hi,

It doesn’t feel like New Years Eve today at all. We have been downtown fixing some bank errands during the day and because of the special day today, Catherine bought a pair of red Hanky Panky panties. She says that if you wear red underwear on New Year’s Eve and jump from a chair it will bring you luck. I have never heard of it (maybe some Swiss/German bullshit) but I couldn’t take the risk so my new red Hanky Panky panties were on this night as well! For dinner we went to a nice restaurant near the harbor. We ate and later we took a cab home. In an hour from now we’re going to look at the fireworks down at the pier but as we all are very tired and Maria is going to move to her apartment tomorrow I don’t think it’s gonna be a late night. This is an overrated night so it doesn’t bother me at all.

I, Linnea and Catherine have a promise for 2010. It’s now written in the contract that both me and Catherine have signed (Linnea will do it when she gets back home) and we have it as a public document on the refrigerator in the kitchen. $40 to pay to each participant if you break the rules… Suck on that!

It’s going to be hard to leave this town in May, that’s a fact. “But you can’t have it all, Erica” as Catherine should have said.” Too bad” should have been my response…

Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR folks! See you all in 2010.

Hey everyone

Today went Linnea, Linn and Vicky really early in the morning to Las Vegas to celebrate New Years Eve. Erica, Maria. H and I have been waiting once again for Dave to come and bring our deposit back, which he was supposed to bring already the day before. But we all know Dave he thought he just need to bring Linneas even all of us texted him. Whatever, now we have our money back and we are rich again. That means shopping. Erica went to Starbucks to call her grandmother to thank her for the Christmas money she got. But stupid tjej forgot her headset at home, that means she need to call her tomorrow. Romy and I met her later up at Starbucks and went to do some shopping. I bought a nice bracelet, new shoes and the same Perfume that Erica has and some stuff at Victoria secret. Later on we went to the bank to get some more money and stupid me, forgot my card in the machine. So that a woman needed to run behind me and give it back to me.

To night we had Taco night and Erica was cooking for us. It tasted once again awesome. Because I can’t cook I did the dishes. Now Erica is reading in her new book she got as a Christmas present from her parents, and I’m writing to you guys. Now I need to convince Erica to help me bring out the trash because I’m so afraid to go out alone in the darkness.

Have a nice evening

The forgetting catte blatte  

I and Catherine woke up early this morning again to return the car at 8.00am. Before we said goodbye outside USave, I gave Catherine my key to Elise House (David was supposed to come with the deposit today for all of us three but because the elevator doesn’t reach all the way up (as we say in Swedish) he just brought it for Linnea) and the rent for December. After that she took a walk home and I went to United Post Service to get my Christmas package, after that to Starbucks and later on home again.

Linnea and her friends went downtown around noon and are now at the cinema. I think they’re watching something with Sherlock Holmes, very cozy anyway! They have a surprise waiting in their room when they get back ;) I and Maria H have used the well talked about teamwork that we use a lot in no 123 today and the result is of course great!

Now I’m going to continue to read my new book (Den dubbla tystnaden by Marie Ljungstedt), drink a cup of tea (got my favorites from grandma and grandpa; Studio 54 and Rabarber & grädde) and use the new tea strainer I got from Catherine and just enjoy a pleasant time at home.

Take care,

I-M

Hi again,

Victoria and Linn woke up early this morning and went together with Linnea to our beloved Starbucks. Later on, when both I and Catherine were done, we all went down to Santa Barbara downtown for some shopping, manicure and coffee. Neither the shopping guru nor the nail-fixing felt satisfying for me today so instead, I took my book and pc and found a cozy armchair for an enjoyable time with a cup of coffee at Starbucks (they make their annual profit because of us -you’re welcome).

After the girls’ shopping was done, we took the car to K-Mart to buy a trash can and some other necessary stuff for the new apartment and also to Ralph's for some heavy-stuff shopping just to take as much advantage of the rented car as possible. We have to give it back at 8.00am tomorrow morning, feel free to take the keys and do it for us!

Right now Linnea and her friends are having a picnic at our living room floor consisting of wine, cheese, crackers, and grapes. Catherine is preparing a mattress and linen for her friend Romy who is coming to stay with us tonight. Maria H is sitting by her computer and I’m eating some peanuts and writing to you.

It’s an ordinary evening in no 123,

Erica

Today has been an extremely time efficient day. At 8.00am me and Blatten went to Usave and picked up the van. We drove back to Elise Way to stuff the car full of suit cases, bags and our IKEA shopping. The whole moving process went on pretty good and we were done at around 7.00pm.

Anyone who wants a course in Teamwork and "How to get a good cup of Chai tea" can call me or the other Rock n Roll Roomies for course start and location.

The Buena Vista Apartment no 123 looks incredible now and I already feel much more home here than I have ever felt back in Elise House. We also want to give special thanks to Bill, our new housing manager, who gave Erik (aka Alexander) two new friends; two mums (the flowers’ name). Bill said that he wanted to give us some mums because we are all so far away from our own mums. So cute!

To Maria & Ylva (bw, we miss you); WE HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU!

Later on, Linnea’s friends Viktoria and Linn came here all the way from Sweden. They fell asleep immediately but we will probably see more of them tomorrow. Anyway, welcome girls!

Now it’s just me, Blatten and Linnsy Dinsy that are awake but Blatten is nagging about going to bed so I guess we have to shut this thing off (no one wants an angry Blatte). So now I’m gonna go to bed in my red & pink linen (according to Blatten my yellow linen didn’t fit with her pink decoration).

See you soon!

Xoxo/

Erica
