theft and moneyproblems



So, I guess here is when it started, some fucking asshole smashed our carwindow and stole our GPS, ever since then we have been living on the edge economy-wise.

I've got word from the University now, they have no room for me.. So no money from CSN either. So I went to Arbetsförmedlingen and signed up there. I asked them if they could pay me if I found a practical vocational training place at a school as a Skolkurator and they said that its a great idea, because both parts (the school and I) would benefit from such a deal.
So with Antonia and Google's help I wrote an imbawtfpwn CV and sent it to ten different schools in Eskilstuna!
I've gotten replies from a few, but they already have their interns so I couldnt go there either, now Im hoping that the other schools will find some room for me!
We also went to SOC (the place where you go to when you have no money to pay rent/food/bills/etc) and said I need some help till things straighten out. They burried us in paperwork and we had to go to försäkringskassan/skatteverket/the bank/landlord/electricity provider/etc/etc/etc. Bah, and after all that paperwork and shit, they said that our rent is probably too expensive and because of that its not their duty to give us money (first we have to lower our costs as much as we can). Well, we explained our situation further and now we are waiting for a response.. We also calculated how much money we spend atm on food each month, its about 2.400kr and we are eating quite luxurious. Thats a good thing about never spending money on tobacco and alcohol :D
According to SOC we are already eating quite cheap, but Antonia and I could easily lower the cost with 800-1000kr.

fyrk0 visiting

fyrk0 visited us for a couple of days! It was really nice most of the time but it stirred up some stress between Antonia and I because she felt that we couldnt afford paying for the extra food those days but he didnt have any money himself.
We didnt really talk about it much untill fyrk0 left, but when he did we had our first argument.

I was quite annoyed that Antonia all the time worried about money, I remembered also how much she FREAKED OUT when the car was broken into (at this point, I thought it was because of the money problem, but that was not at all what made her freak out). I am very different from her, I dont care much about money, I like to have money ofcourse, but when I do, I spend it. I never save money. She is very afraid of spending money, its something in her head telling her that its a sin or something, while I think "oh I have money, lets have some fun with it!"

It was not as bad as it might sound, mostly missunderstandings as always, but it was some crying and alot of emotions. Now everything is really great again and dont be afraid to visit us after reading this please ;) We came to an understanding, we value money very differently, but at some times, certain things are worth it no matter what the cost is, for example - traveling through europe to go to a sick/hurt friend/relative, having a very good friend over a few days extra even if he cant pay for his food, etc ;) So now we basically just have to tell the other "For me its worth it, really" - and there is no arguing against it, we just have to try to not abuse it (Even though a can of cola can be worth 100kr to me sometimes :D)

Just FYI, I am very glad I have Antonia, without her I would be eating köttbullar and makaroner everyday! xD

Anyway, enough about the sad/bad things, it was really nice to have fyrk0 over! We played some Tibia and basketball! :D We also started to rewatch Firefly together with him, and daaaamn its so good. That show is definitely my all-time favourite. If you havent seen it yet, DO IT! (YES IM TALKING TO YOU IAS!)

gogo västerås!

We have only been in Västerås (centrum) once so far, and thats when we met fyrk0, Ias, Linn and Snap some weeks ago :) We went to a chinese restaurant together, it was really nice! We were talking and eating and having a good time. After that we went to JYSK together and looked around, Antonia set all the egg-clock alarm to beep in like 5 minutes right before we left, lol.
Then Ias, Snap and Linn had to go home, but fyrk0, Antonia and I continued onwards to the volleyball court, where we spent an hour or so playing with his friends.. It was alot of fun, I really really sucked.

study

Well, except studying Heroes of Newerth tactics I have also started to learn for Högskoleprovet! I have lots of old tests on my PC now and I am gona practise as much as I can.. Its a hard test to practise for but I'm gona do my best anyway.
Antonia is going ALL IN on her Swedish studies, shes not even in the course yet and shes already knowing Swedish grammar better than me :D Shes sitting infront of her laptop all day long with some learning books we borrowed from the library and learning like mad. Im so proud of her! :)

mamma hulha på besök!



"Mom" (Antonias mother) & Petra drove all the way from germany to come visit us on our birthdays! They stayed here for many days and helped us out alot in the apartment! We had alot of fun together, the first day was alot of hardwork though, they were exhausted from driving so far and then they helped us carry 900kilo of boxes and furniture up to our place.
Our apartment has been getting a huge facelift! It is so damn nice here now - I really really love it! While they were here I occupied the kitchen and did my best to show them how some nice dishes I've been growing up with. We ate very very well while they were here, every meal was a pleasure.

Once we ordered home food, Kebab-pizza, it was a huge success! First time I ate it in over a year - omg it was nice. They dont have it in Germany :O!

Some pics of the food I made :)



We also spent some evenings together playing "Super Mastermind", a boardgame where you have to think alot and its really fun. I am very much looking forward to go to germany over christmas to spend some more time with them!

gaming - tibia

Not terribly much to say about Tibia, I was banned u_u;
But well, was PG'ing some, would have cought up with Ias if it wasnt for the ban ;/ Now fyrk0 is catching up in levels also so we can do some fun hunts sometime in the future I hope :)
We went some pharaos the other day and..
23:16 Loot of Vashresamun: 23 gold coins, 20 gold coins, a crystal mace, a blue note \o/!

gaming - heroes of newerth

When Im not playing HoN, Im probably reading HoN forums :P There are alot of really really stupid people posting there, its sometimes amusing but often times just annoying. Anyway, I've fallen inlove with one of the new heroes, "The Dark Lady", I have been thinking about writing a guide about her also.. but I will wait alittle because I expect her to be changed in the future versions.
Well, about HoN, the DotA-clone.. Its quite fun.. Playing alot with the gang in germany and also some with Poltto and Piipeti. I miss the old times when we had inhouse games everyday in DotA though.. We never have any inhouse games in HoN because some people doesnt like to play against friends. Sucks alittle, because what I find fun with games is to beat my friends! Bashing pubs all day doesnt really give me the satisfaction I am looking for. Another thing that is quite problematic at times is that HoN (just like DotA) can be so extremely frustrating and everyone gets in a bad mood. But we keep playing it anyway ;D
Many friends who didnt play DotA is now playing HoN with us also, thats great :)

a little bit of toni

I've been really afraid lately. All these money issues and the fact that things don't really work out as planned freak me out. I just talked to my brother Raymond and he assured me, that if things don't work out here I can always come and be an Aupair for him and his 3 children ;) I said I will get back to him once that happens, hehe..

All I'm focusing on atm is learning Swedish. I found out that I could do the SFI test even without having had lessons there, which is exactly what I need. So I am studying like mad, trying to figure out all those fucked up rules about en and ett and its plural forms. Message to all the swedes reading this: Your grammar is moronic! almost as bad as German... damn!
but I'm trying.
I also want to thank my mother and Petra again: they came to Sweden to help us with the apartment. It was really really great to have had them here and I miss em very much already.

I think I will stop blogging and continue my diary instead. Every once in a while I want to voice my thoughts though, so I will do that by adding a small chapter to J0k3s blog. - That is, if you guys are okay with that :)

Well, I will be off learning some more .. *ett hus... huset...två hus... två husen...*
