"Hej hej hallå", as some of us say in Swedish, at least if you've spent some time in the south or if you've listened too much to the famous artist Timbuktu. So about me, I have to start with saying that I hate and yes I mean hate writing about myself. But I am going to try. I am from Sweden but my soul is here in the states. I have been here for 2 years, and I know Marta, who doesn't? On that note, she is my best friend here in Santa Barbara, maybe if you get to know her you will understand me a little better too. I moved here with the intention of staying for 1 year, but that year turned into 2 and now I never want to leave. As all the other swedes that want to stay I am struggling with the fact that it is nearly impossible for us to stay here unless we get married, which sucks. I am not planning on getting married in the near future, however if it happens it happens. I am a "take it day by day" kind of gal and I try to not worry too much about the future. Another thing you need to know about me is that I am planning on moving to the big apple in a year. I want to live in Brooklyn and experience everything that NYC has to offer. I would describe myself as a hippie/bohemian/hipster with shaved armpits, weird hair color, lots of hats, homemade jewelry and a passion for animals and saving the earth from human stupidity (mostly the environment).
About the readings. Reading, writing or just creating is something that is very individual. We all have our own voice. What we associate with when we read is based on our experiences and values. One piece of writing can mean different things for different people. Even though "rules" do exist of how to write certain genres and we can see some patterns in that it is also the matter of personal interpretation. Culture is a big part of how we interpret what we read and see, because again it is based on our values. Where we choose to write also affects the reader's interpretation. Is it a book, a comic, an add or a blog? Well, those are all forms of the written word, however how these are interpreted because of the chosen media is different. We have certain expectations when we are about to read a blog or a newspaper, we are looking for certain patterns that we know and recognize.
Peace out!
