What the Hell?

Brittany Murphy, 32, is dead. She was rushed to the hospital this morning, local time, with cardiac arrest. She was declared dead as they got to the hospital. She was only 32!!! What's with the world today? Why does everybody have to die so young? She was only three years older than I, for crying out loud.

I think the first movie I ever saw with her was Clueless. And I really liked her as an actress. Great spread of different roles. I think my favourites are Uptown Girls and Clueless still. But also liked her in 8 mile.She's done a tone of great stuff.

It's sad that she's gone.

"Oldie" but Goldie

One of my favourite tv series of all times is Young Americans. It aired in Sweden 2001 and at the time I was kind of love sick. I devoured everything lovey-dovey. My boyfriend at the time was in Kosovo as a UN-soldier (or what you might call it), and I missed him like crazy. The thing is, the obsession did not start at once. I began watching the first episode, but didn't find it that interesting. If I had just seen it all, the kiss on the roof top and that, I know I would be hooked! But now I didn't. It was not until I happened to see episode 4, Cinderbella, when it hit. I was completely and utterly addicted. Mainly to Jake and Hamilton. Awesome story. 

So then I got into writing Fan Fiction, reading fan fiction, joining JaHammer groups, you name it, I did it. Yes, I am 14 at heart. :P I even met up with other Swedes with the same obsession! 

Basically, it is about five youngsters, of which 4 is attending Rawley Academy for boys. Jacqueline Pratt aka Jake (Katherine Moennig), is there, dressed as a boy, trying to show her actress mother that she has no clue. Hamilton (Ian Somerhalder), the dean's son, falls for Jake, Will (Rodney Scott), townie boy, is there on a scholarship, Scout (MarkFamiglietti) is a senator’s son who falls for townie chick Bella (Kate Bosworth) who just might be his half sister. Intrigues, intrigues. I love it.

My favourite couple is Jake and Ham. They are just so cute together. Lots of teenage anxiety and issues. I like it. I have written one fanfic about Jake and Ham. It is not finished yet, but will be soon. If you are interested click here.

Lucky You!

It is now possible to read both Darcy and Lizzie's thoughts in English. :) If you are interested click on their names and you are taken to that blog. Chose your preferred language and enjoy!

What is Wrong with Me?

Wait, don't answer that... ;) Well I'm pretty disturbed. I mean how else can I explain why I keep on looking at scary movies, reading about vampires and now the latest tv series I've been watching, Supernatural. I'm freakishly scared of the dark. I mean why do I put myself through that? I must be perverted or something...

Supernatural is about two brothers who are looking for their father that has gone missing from a "hunting"-trip. Their mother died some 20 years ago in a supernatural phenomenon. Now the brothers are left to search for their missing father while sorting out supernatural happenings all over the country. They deal with a few urban legends and so on. That should be a sign that I should not see this show. I meen Blody Mary's, hook men and demons is really not my cup of tea. Especially not when it's dark out. But here I am, hooked to another scary tv-series, unable to stop myself from watching. I really need to see someone... ;)

Oh, goodie, I have 4 more seasons to go! ;)

Legend of the Seeker

I'm not saying that I've had enough vampires, but it's kind of nice with a change. Now I've turned to the more traditional fantasy genre, with wizards, swords and battles between good and evil. I read the books that Legend of the Seeker is (very loosley) based on a couple of years ago. My hubbie promised me that I would love them, and he was right. It is a great tale of an emerging hero and love that can never be. I do love a great love story, don't you?

The Tv-series started airing last year and you can find it at sites as TV-duck for streaming. I do like the series, though they are mixing up the stories from the different books. Craig Horner is quite good as Richard Cypher, perhaps younger than I had imagined, but just as handsome. Bridget Regan is great as Khalan Amnell. And I so want them to be able to be together without having to worry about that her confessor power will do to him. But you will have to see for yourself. I'm not giving anything away.

I will re-read the books now that I'm finished with The Twilight Saga. If you haven't read the books or seen the show, do it! ;)
