How did it go?

Blogging is something I've tried to do for a long time, and as you may have seen is that I already have an account on blogger, that was for the travel blog i started (and never finished) from when my family and I went on a roadtrip through the northern states in USA. I have another blog from when we drowe Route 66 too, but that was on WordPress. I've tried different types of blogs and the one I have now is the Norwegian version of blogger called blogg.no

But this seems simple enough, I'm just not loving the basic layout they have and that you kinda have to know how to do the html stuff to get your own style in it, like a nice header.

But what I did like about it was that it's simple when you write. They have the most important writing tools and its easy to put a picture or video in without having to use a lot of time. And you don't risk having a lot of different sizes on the pictures because they have it in Small/medium/large/x-large witch makes it easier to fit everything and not think about it not fitting into the box.

The things I learned form this was the way you put in videos straight from YouTube, witch makes it so much easier. Ive never had to post a picture online on Blogger, so i didn't know about that method, and if i did I would always put in the link after pressing the picture button on the top of the document, or saved the picture and put it out that way.

But can i get rid of the box on the side where it explains the user? because i don't want to change it because of the other blog, but i can't make two.

Overall, it was simple and nice, makes it easier to blog! :)

Tall ships in Geiranger
This is Gerirangerfjorden, the sail ships you see here are the biggest in the world. This picture is taken when they were doing the Tall Ship Race, last time it happened in Norway was 13 years ago. The biggest one (the one all the way to the right) is 122 meters (ca 400 feet) long. You can also see 'the seven sisters' in the background, that's one (well there's seven of them) of Norway's most famous waterfalls.

Kinda Stressed Out

October is officially here and I have never been more stressed. You probably think of school right away. And yeah, I am incredibly stressed about that too, because lets be honest, its a lot of work there. But no, that is not my main reason of my stress on October 1st.

Halloween. 

Its almost the end of October (The feeling of time flying, I just learned to write 2015 instead of 2014, and now its almost 2016) and I still haven't worked out my costume! Yeah, you can laugh, but i take Halloween very seriously. I love the creepy makeup and the creative costumes! Its not such a big deal to celebrate Halloween, and I never got to go trick or treating until i was like 10 (and i was the classic witch every year except one year when i was a troll). So maybe that's why I'm really passionate about doing this properly. Go big or go home and all that.

I have those sessions were I can sit on Pintrest, Tumblr and Youtube for hours and just look at inspirations for the best costumes ideas. And I also feel like i should come up with a new idea every year, and it has to be creative. Last year i was a skeleton/demon creature, witch was super popular in my church (not really tho, but they were the ones calling it a Halloween Party). The year before a porcelain ballerina doll, witch gave me the prize of most creative costume at my school (gonna live on that for a while). This year Ive thought about ideas from Tate from American Horror Story to Harley Quinn. But nothing kinda stuck with me. I have the ideas but I'm a perfectionist so a lot of it will take time to do and when you don't have time, then what? All the frustrations.

I'm celebrating it in USA this year. I have had these moments were I've forgot that I'm 21 and freaked out about wanting to go trick or treating. Something I still wanted to do when the thought about me actually being an adult, I just tried to not mention it a month before.

Yeah, I still have time. And yeah, I'll probably find out something before Halloween. But still, this is one of my favorite holiday, and to now get to celebrate it in USA?! Its gonna be awesome anyway.

Are you celebrating Halloween this year? What do you usually do? Any costume ideas? 

I'll update you,
Stine : )
