Nu händer det grejjer! =)

Ja, det var ju min status uppdatering på Face för nån dag sen, och för er som jag inte har berättat vad det gäller så kan jag väl säga det här. Kände att det var dags att uppdatera lite samtidigt. Vad menar jag då med att nu händer det grejjer? Jo, lite håller jag för mig själv pga olika anledningar. Det kommer säkert att basuneras ut så småningom ändå, så tids nog mina vänner får ni reda på det andra! Men en sak ska jag berätta. För ett tag sen så sökte jag via Stagepool (och för er som inte känner till Stagepool, så är det en artistförmedling på internet där man kan registrera sig, betala lite cash och sen söka diverse film, teater och tv roller, alltifrån statist till större roller) en roll till en svensk-engelsk långfilm som i mars-april ska spelas in uppe i Värmland! Av alla ställen! Ha ha. Och dom sökte en kvinna mellan 20-30 med Nordiskt utseende som kunde tala engelska och svenska, vilket jag tyckte att jag passade in på på samtliga punkter. Så jag sökte och hoppades på det bästa. Så häromdan så fick jag ett mail från producenten av denna film att jag blivit uttagen att komma på en sluten casting i Sthlm nästa helg! Wow! Jag gick vidare! Blev väldigt glad! Om inte kärleken går bra, så kanske karriären gör det! Ha ha, men som sagt det är inte klart ännu. Det är ju fler än jag som blitt inbjuden till denna casting, som jag tror är intervju plus nån slags provfilming. Men men kan ju hoppas att det går vägen. Det hade ju vart sjukt roligt om man kunde få spela i en film, som kanske kommer på bio! =) Så my friends, håll alla tummar och tår som ni har för att det går bra! Jag menar, jag betalar en resa upp till Huvudstaden, med pengar jag egentligen inte har, för att hoppas på att det ger nåt!

Sen har jag även sökt till de nya Johan Falk filmerna, något som jag verkligen hoppas på! Jag är ju ett stort fan av dessa filmerna och Jakob Eklund och Jacqueline Ramel (hon som spelar Anja!) och det hade varit en ära att få spela i samma film mot dom! Så håll tummarna för att jag får en liten roll i nån av de kommande filmerna! De spelas ju som bekant in här i kära Götet så då behöver man ju inte resa upp till Ingemansland för att spela film! Ha ha. Som sagt, är det meningen så händer det väl, som allt annat här i livet!

Ja, jag tänker nog inte gå in på nåt kärleks snack idag, för det blir bara lite bittert från min sida ändå när jag kommer igång! Ha ha! Men jag har en bra låt där texten stämmer så sjukt så att det är just sjukt! Min kära vän Sofie visade den för mig och nu visar jag den för alla andra, singel vänner som upptagna! Ha ha. Så denna låt är tillägnad alla som känner att dom känner igen sig! Med dessa ord lämnar jag er för denna gången...

Frogs And Princes - Natasha Bedingfield:

The in and out of dating got me all cofused

I built up expectations and I'm feeling used

Seems that everybody's into fast food,

Everybody's into quick

I want some one to take the time fine dining not rushing

Now it's nearly 7:30, I'm slipping on a dress

I keep my fingers crossed, you're not like all the rest,

So when you come to pick me up come right to my door

Don't stay in your car and beep beep the horn

Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic

You pick the sounds for the background to our drive into town

Baby don't be one of the traffic

Had too many nights with the wrong guys

Caught me at red lights

Tell me how many frogs do I have to kiss

Before I find my prince, before I find my prince

All you girls that are going through this

Tell 'em how it is, tell 'em how it is

Pull up to a premire, red carpet good

You take my coat, get my chair, like I hoped you would

You're funny and your flirting is really working for me

But where it goes from here

Better wait and see

Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic

You pick the view to kiss to

Make me go ooo ooo

And maybe it'll all turn out tragic

And you'll push for more

Back at my front door

More than I'm ready for

Tell me how many frogs do I have to kiss

Before I find my prince, before I find my prince

All you girls that are going through this

Tell 'em how it is, tell 'em how it is

Tell me how many frogs do I have to kiss

Before I find my prince, before I find my prince

All you girls that are going through this

Tell 'em how it is, tell 'em how it is

You gotta tip the waiter, that's how it works

You cant skip the starter and go straight to desert

You've gotta pop the cork before you taste the wineis,

We get hooked up but the shame is

Too much connection followed by rejections

Gonna hurt a girl 'til she learns her lesson

Tell me how many frogs do I have to kiss

Before I find my prince, before I find my prince

All you girls that are going through this

Tell 'em how it is, tell 'em how it is

Tell me how many frogs do I have to kiss

Before I find my prince, before I find my prince

All you girls that are going through this

Tell 'em how it is, tell 'em how it is...

2011...

Jaha, så då var det helt plötsligt 2011. Värst vad fort 2010 gick! man han ju knappt blinka känns det som. Eller jo. Men det knäppaste är att det har hänt så fruktansvärt mycket och jag har vart med om så mycket roliga, omvävlvande och intressanta saker, men ändå känns det som att någon knäppt med fingrarna och så vaknade jag upp ett år senare. Hela min USA vistelse är liksom förbi. Nu ska jag inte sitta här och vara sorglig, men nu har jag vart hemma en vecka och det känns redan som att jag vart här typ ett år. Nej, men vad jag menar är att det går så snabbt att komma in i det lilla "tråk" och "uttråkad" tänket när man är här på vintern. Det finns inte lika mkt att göra, och det är lätt att få lite ångest. Åh nu låter det väldigt tråkigt och kanske värre än vad det är. Jag bara tänker lite på framtiden och vad som ska ske om det jag vill ska ske inte sker. Ha ha. Det är många känslor som snurrar i kroppen just nu och jag får väl försöka att fundera ut vad alla betyder och vart dom vill föra mig. Men jag hoppas i alla fall att jag kommer in på scenskolan. Det hade ju varit helt fantastiskt! Vi får se, det är två veckor tills jag har mitt första prov i Lund!

Men nu är det ett nytt år, med nya möjligheter, misstag och andra intressanta saker som livet väljer att kasta åt en. Man kan ju hoppas att det mesta är positiva saker. Om jag ska toppa 2010 på top 5 så får det nog bli:

1. USA - L.A - O.C (priceless!)

2. Lära känna Charlie, Linnea och Claire

3. Återfick min passion för teatern, starkare än nånsin förut

4. Växte som person och insåg vad som är viktigt i livet

5. Att få se Grand Canyon, Portland och Seattle

Och inför 2011 vill jag egentligen inte göra några listor, för jag vill inte förhäxa mig själv. Men man kan ju önska vad man skulle vilja ske. Men vet inte om jag ska skriva det, för då kanske det inte blir så. Men jag hoppas i det stora hela att jag kan få hålla på med det jag älskar och att jag kan få vara lycklig och glad och trivas med den jag är och där jag är! Då hade 2011 blivit ett toppen år. Vi får se helt enkelt.

Jag har i alla fall två stora saker att se fram emot inom den närmsta framtiden; Flytta ihop med Sofie i min lägenhet! Sen åka till Thailand med mamma den 10 Feb! Det är ju inte helt fel. Då tror jag att man överlever denna våren oxå! Och imon ska jag träffa en trevlig person...säger inte mera nu...ni får veta mera vid ett senare tillfälle!

God Fortsättning allihopa!

Här har vi ett blåsigt nyårsfoto från gårdagens super lyckade nyårsfest!

Sofie, Jessica, Jag, Claire, Julia och Alexandra

Nytt år runt hörnet

Jaha, så då var snart 2010 slut. Shit vad fort det går när man har roligt! För det har jag verkligen haft detta året. Och nu får man komma tillbaka till verkligheten och ta tag i sitt liv. Kanske är mindre roligt. Men tyvärr måste det göras. Jag ska bara se till att hitta mig ett jobb först, vilket är lättare sagt än gjort. Men jag har sökt några stycken så det är bara att hoppas på det bästa och förvänta sig det värsta! Då blir man inte besviken i alla fall.

Jag börjar med att göra om denna bloggen lite, lite julrensning om man säger så. Nu ska jag skriva på svenska, tills jag tröttnar på det. Mina engelska vänner som läser detta får använda Google translate. =) Det går ju det också. Jag hoppas verkligen att jag kommer in på scenskolan, har mina första prov i Jan. det hade varit helt underbart, men jag ska inte räkna med något, det är sjukt svårt att komma in, men hoppas kan man ju alltid göra. Först ut är Malmö, sen Göteborg. Har inte fått antagnings papperna därifrån ännu, men dom kommer väl. Sen så väntar jag på svar från Johan Falk filmerna, där har jag sökt en roll också. Sen är det en annan engelsk svensk långfilm som jag har sökt till som ska spelas in i Jämtland, jag kollade på Stagepool häromdan och då stod det bredvid den ansökan att jag är på producentens urvalslista, vad det nu kan betyda. =) Låter som nåt bra. Så håll tummarna för att jag får ut nåt utav det!

Nu måste jag snart gå och lägga mig så jag kan få nån slags rätsida på dessa dygn, jag är ju uppe halva nätterna och sover halva dagarna! Men jag antar att efter nyår så blir det bättre. Just nu är jag fortfarande inne på mitt USA år!

Hade en underbar kväll hemma hos Hanna! Så underbart att ha vänner som henne, och de andra som jag har också så klart. Men hon är så rolig att prata med, är alltid intresserad, lyssnar, och pratar mkt själv, men om väsentliga saker och vi har bara sjukt kul och bra ihop helt enkelt! Man inser snabbt när man är långt hemifrån en längre tid att vänner, det är det som gör livet värt att leva, utan vänner, fy fan vad tomt och trist livet skulle vara! Och nu pratar jag om äkta vänner, tyvärr så fanns det inte så mkt av den varan (när det gäller tjejer) i USA, i alla fall L.A. Dom är ju kända där att vara speciella och lite falska, jag kan väl säga att det stämmer, till viss del. Claire som ajg känner från USA och som är en nära vän är inte från L.A från början utan från Atlanta, Georgia. Därav kan jag lita på henne! Nog sagt om det. Jag ville bara uppdatera lite!

Vi hörs snart igen!

Puss och Kramiss

Only 4 weeks left in California...

So the time is passing by fast, doesn't it? At least it seems like that sometimes. 4 months has almost passed since I came back here to L.A or O.C to be more exact. It sounds like a long time when you think about it, but it really isn't.

To sum up my year here I have to say that it's definitely been one of the best years of my life, yes it's true it feels like that. Because I feel that I haven't been this happy for such a long period of time in my life as I have been while being here. And that's what I'm gonna remember when I go back, and maybe falls into a minor "depression" No, we shouldn't say that, but it might happen if it's to boring. I came here to chase my dream, acting. But what I found wasn't exactly a career, beacuse it's hard, especially when you're not an american citizen and also to begin a career from basically nothing, or very little to something major is not really something you do in a years time. But what has been so great is all the ppl that I've met and gotten to know, and also that I feel that I've evolved and grown so much as a person. And that is invaluable! I know I wrote a similar post recently so I shouldn't go in to it that much deeper.

Although, a part of me is starting to long to go back home. I don't know if it's mentally because I know that it's soon or because my friend's are there. Probably both, and because I feel that I need that "solitude", "stability" and "security" that might not exist in the same matter here. Even if I would have no problem living here, if all of my friends were here too! And I'm eager to start the Theatre School, if I get accepted that is. Which I really hope I do, then I'll have 3 awesome years ahead of me! We'll have to see what happens, I promise to keep you guys updated!

I'm also longing for the Swedish guys! Ha ha, yes, there's a huge difference in guys here and in Sweden. Now, if I may have the right to be shallow for a moment. I'm talking about the looks. Yes, I love the blonde, well dressed and preppy guy, that's kinda rare here. And I know that I'm gonna be so overwhelmed when I go out, maybe not just to the clubs, but just walking down the streets of Gothenburg or anywhere for that matter, because I'm gonna see these gorgeous guys a lot! I can't wait. But that doesn't mean that anyone of them are gonna be mine. That hasn't happen for the last 3,5 years, so why should it happen now? Ha ha, I guess I'll just have to have faith and hope that someday, somewhere he's waiting for me, and when he does I'll know and I'll feel it. I believe that "love at first sight" exists, and I'm gonna find it! Even if it's gonna take me a while!

OK, I'm gonna have to fix my B-day present for Charlie now, she's going away to teach Pole Dancing, and I'm gonna take the time while she's gone to finish it! So when she comes home again she's gonna get it! I hope she likes it!

Take care!

Growth can come faster than you know...

When I look back at my previous posts I realise just how much I've grown in ohnly the last year, since I came here to L.A. Or maybe grown is the wrong word, I would say that I've matured. Yeah that's more the suited word. I feel that I've come to terms with who I am, what I want in life, maybe how I should get it but also what's important to me. Things I didn't see before. What I mean is that I've realised that friends mean a lot to me and that sometimes that safe and secure world that actually exsists in Sweden is more important than I thought when I actually lived there.

It is so easy to forget the "good" and "solid" things when you're sorrounded by them constantly. It's easy to take them for granted. Which I think I sometimes did. And the easy, sometimes "boring" life as I used to say my life in Sweden was, was not something I really though I'd miss when I came here. But I do. It comes down to the fact that it's what you make of your life and the ppl around you and it becomes what you make it to become. If you're gonna go around and dislike your life because of some reason and just get up every morning thinking that it is that way, then ofcourse it's going to be. But if you get up and try to look on the positive side and have a positive attitude towards it and try to enjoy the good things, even if they might not be big. Then it will be that way! I know it might not always be easy. But I'vbe tried to do that lately and it works. Ok, I'm over here in the Entertainmnet Capitol of the world, living in a fancy house, going to school studying acting, having a good friend with me most of the times, sunlight, and lots of things to do. Then of coursde it's easy for me to sit here and say that you should enjoy life. But I've also realised that in this midst of overwhelmingness that exist here I actually miss the simple life in Sweden, and amy friends ofcourse (which i've stated many times!). I love being here in L.A, don't get me wrong there and I don't regret for a second that I decided to come here the first time, and also going back the second time this semester.

But, if I were to move here and create a life, an everyday normal life for myself thing would change drastically. Let's just say that I wouldn't get a part in a movie or TV show. Then I'd have to try to find a job, if I could, but let's just say that I could. I'd take myself, my social status (being middle or working class, cuz that's what I am in Sweden) move it from Sweden to here, it'd not be the same at all. The job would take all my time, and I probably wouldn't get paid as good as I would in Sweden. I'd have to find an apartment, but I couldn't afford to live by myself so I'd probably have to get two or three roommates since the rents are so high. So I'd probably live in a small space with other ppl paying just as much for a room as I would for an own apt in Sweden. And then I'd have to get medical insurance, which is not cheap. So my entire salary would probably go to paying bills. If I'd met someone and eventually we'd have a kid, I could only stay home as a mom for about 6 weeks before I have to go back to work and my expenses would be even higher. I'd have to put off a lot of money every month to my kids College fund and I would not have time or energy to do all the fun stuff I do know, and if I by any chance would be pregnant unplanned, causwe those things can happen evem with birth control pills, I'd probably have to keep it anyhow since it's not as easy to consider abortion. Ok, I'll just stop there.

I'm sorry, I'm not meaning to trash USA, it's a wonderful country in so many ways! And I love it here! But it's just the fact that as a middle or working class woman that I am I could not have the same "good" life as I can in Sweden. So basiclly what I want to say is, well I'm not really sure actually. I guess I just want to say that Swedes should appreciate what they have and what a great country it actually is. Even if there are many flaws and issues that needs to be dealth with. I just wish I could have both worlds. Oh, shit I've totally mixed so many things in this post, I'm not even sure if any of it makes any sense, but I hope no one from any of the countries take this the wrong way. Cuz I totally love both Sweden and L.A. And it is because of my visit and stay here that I've become this "new" person that I kinda feel that I am. And that would not have been possible without L.A. And i'll forever be grateful to that. I just hope and wish that more ppl come here and go through what I've been through. It's a really nice experince and I'll miss this place till' death! I'm really confused, sorry again. I'm just rambling on.

But ok, I think I'm just gonna end this post right now before I start going off the deep end I don't know just write more strange stuff. As a last thing I just want to say that I feel like a new person, seriously. I have a new perspective on life, how to approach it, what to appreciate, and what not to waste so much time on. And also, love and guys comes when it's ready, no need to rush. (ha ha, you never thought I'd say that did you!) If I'd been in a relationship I'd never have gone here, and to think that I'd miss all this makes me really scared. Ok, just don't read in t much of what I've written in this post, sometimes the thoughts in my head and the words that actually comes out and forms into words are not always the same, it kinda collapses or crashes along the way...

Until next time...TAKE CARE and BE SAFE! Love You ALL! You know who you are! =)

Gothenburg and L.A/O.C (I know it's different, but these are the two places I feel "home")

Where one "vacation" ends, another begins...

Hi Folks!

Hope you're all doing fine. I'm kinda tired, I should be getting to bed soon, and not sitting her blogging. But I just felt like giving a short update. I talked to my mum just a little while ago and she wants me to decide where we're going to stay when we're in Thailand! Yes, I'm coming home to Sweden in Dec, then in early Feb I'm leaving again, but only for 2 weeks to go to Thailand with my mum! I can't wait. It's gonna be so much fun. I guess I'll have to work on my tan over there, because it hasn't really been "growing" so much here in L.A this semester. The weather's been a little worse, and I just haven't had the time to go to the beach as much. But we'll see, maybe I'll be able to spend a few more hours by the pool or the beach before I go back. But it's gonna be so nice to leave again, and the best part is that Sofie and her family is leaving on the 9th of February to go to Thailand too! But not to the exact same place, but close. So hopefully we can meet up while we're there.

Here's a picture of the place and the hotel I choose:

I'm watching the California Governor election right now, and it looks like Jerry Brown is in the lead. I'm not all that informed on which candidate is the best, but from the little I do know I hope it's him that wins, he's a democrat (as close to the red party in Sweden as it can get, but still not close) and he wants to help the middle class to have it better and to keep it. So I think that's good. The other candidate is Meg Whitman, I think she's just another money horny republican.

Anyways, there was something else I wanted to cover in today's post but I can't seem to remember what it was...I guess I'll figure it out and then I can write it in the next post.

Until then, take care...I'll leave you with this picture of me as a witch for this years Halloween!

Kisses and Hugs; //Frieda K*

Long time no see...

I know I haven't updated this thing in quite a while. But I started my videoblog instead. It's somteimes easier to get a lot more said in a video at once when you talk. If I'd have to write as much I said there I'd take me forever. But sometimes it's also nice to write, so I'll devide the time. Sometimes write and sometimes videoblog post.

I called Air Canada last night to re-arrange my flight ticket home. There had been some connecting issues on the way home. I had to wait in line 45 min before it was all done! Thank god for speaker phones so you cna put the phone down and eat at the same time. =) But now I got a much better route now than I had before. Instead of leaving at 06.54 I leave at 08.00 and going straight from LAX to Toronto and then to London and from there to Gothenburg. I'll touch down in Svedala at the same time as before, 12.25 on Dec 20. And hopefully I won't be travelling alone. I'm gonna bring my husband with me. Ha Ha no! Just kidding. Claire is going to Gbg to visit her dad and aunt for a month so we're gonna travel together. I mean, we're leaving from the same city going to the same city on the same date, so why not try to get on the same plane(s)? So hopefully she suceeds in booking herself on the same route as me! That would be so much more fun than travelling alone, once again.

Ok, so now I've found yet another great TV show that I've gotten hooked to! Thanks very much Sofie! I'm not sure if it airs in Sweden or if she's downloading it. But it's called "Pretty little liars" it is kinda lika Gossip Girl and all those other teen TV shows. But I like it a lot, probably because I love Gossip Girl, and oh tonight there's a new episode! Yey. And there's a guy in PLL that's freaking hot! I'll post a pic of him at the end of this post. Yes he's this weeks babe. Sorry Hanna for stealing your thing with the babe of the week, but I like the concept...

So, it's only 7 weeks left until you guys over in Sweden see me again! I have very mixed feelings about going back. Part of me want s to stay here, but another part wants to come back. If all of you great friends and mum would be here I would probably not want to go back to Sweden. But no matter how succesful I become over here, if I'm alone at the top without my friends and family, it's not worth anything. Cuz i'd be all alone, and friendship is so important to me. That's probably why i couldn't live her permanently. But we'll see what happens. I'll come home, move back to my apt with Sofie! Yes, for you guys who did not know, me and Sofie are gonna move in together. To save money and just for the company. I've lived with ppl for over a year now and it's gonna be very lonley to live alone. So yeah, we're gonna be roommates! =) Anyways, someone here asked me: "If you could stay here, and work here legally, would you stay or would you go back to Sweden?" I replied: "Well, I'd definatley have a harder time deciding between the two. But, if my friends and family are in Sweden and I'm here alone. I'd probably feel very lonley and not be able to enjoy the "stardom" as much as I would want. If it wasn't a role in Bones, then I'd stay!" Ha ha. No, but seriously. You guys mean the world to me! It's easy to take ppl for granted when they're there around you all the time, but when you feel the distance and can't see or talk to them whenever you want. Or share your ups and downs witht them, you realize just how important and valuable true friends are!

So, I'm gonna fight my way to the top in the Swedish acting market, and then we'll see what happens, I want to go to Chicago for a few months. But I guess I'll have to save the money for that first...

Enjoy this weeks babe; Ian Harding
