MOVED TO WORDPRESS

So I mentioned in an earlier post today or yesterday that I was considering moving to WordPress. As you might have guessed. I did.

I will now start blogging on WordPress because their freaking app seems to work compared to Blogger's app. Suck on that Blogger. You've just lost another user.

Hopefully I'll be able to blog way more often now that I can do it quickly from the phone.

SAME NAME, DIFFERENT PLATFORM:

SOOFSOFIA.WORDPRESS.COM

All the contents from Blogger is moved to WordPress. God bless the import/export system. So ya'll choose wherever ya'll wanna read because I'll still keep Blogger but I won't be posting anything anymore.

If you wanna look even further back in my time, I still have my very first blog: http://soofsofia.bloggplatsen.se/

See you in another adventure!

I attract weirdos

I am attracted to different people... This was taken a few weeks back in Göta Källare. This dude/lady was seen outside of the entrance and he got in. I wanted to chill and drink some water by the sofas and I saw that he sat there too. I actually wanted to talk to him so I sat beside him and he quickly started chatting with me. I love how he dares to go out like that, it's hilarious. But his personality isn't the fabulous type you'd probably expect. Anyway, he spoke about some dudes he had met at new years that were there on the dance floor and he wanted to hook them up or something but the guys didn't want him.

In other news, today, Sunday, I aced a summer job! At SOS. "911, what's yo problem boo?"

Phone Cases

This one below is obviously hand made. By the one and only artist: me. I love CyanogenMod and I work with horror and creepy stuff because my old soul loves that. 

The story behind this case is that it was originally this turquoise blue. Really pretty and the case itself is really high quality. It's by MOFI. Being the restless soul that I am I impulsively, without thinking, started adding these random colored diamonds that I had lying around. It was ridiculous. I even wanted to spell "poop" on it with the diamonds and even that I failed on. I don't know what happened. Probably a brain fart there. I glued everything with superglue and it looked horrible in my opinion. It was like a drunk monkey in a factory in China who assembled this piece together.

The day after I regretted it all and removed everything, leaving this harsh, ugly surface with glue still on (that I couldn't get rid of, it's superglue, duh) and some rip offs on the leather. I knew I'd ruin the case this way so what do I do? I draw. I drew my two favorite logos: OnePlus One and the CyanogenMod logos. At first I was gonna make these clean logos but as I started working on this piece I realized that the ink I used was smudging. A beautiful smudge and the rest is history. 

The blue color of the case is actually perfect because CyanogenMod's signature color is this blue.

Yesterday I met with a buddy which had these two original cases from the OnePlus store, so I got them.

Honestly, I have too much respect and care for my OnePlus that I don't dare to put a case like this clear one. Simply because it doesn't protect very well from drops and there's areas where it's not covered. However, it does a perfect job in getting as close to the "naked" phone as possible. You can really feel the thinness of the phone with this case.

I also got this black flip case which is really good. I really like the quality of this one and it fits perfectly on the phone (obviously because it's from the manufacturer). I really like this.


Besides all these cases, I have more.. I have about 5 right now and I've just bought more... I need therapy.

A couple of pics from Diana's birthday

We played games, ate, drank and had fun, afterwards we went to Kristall. Getting there was a pain because we all went to the bus to get into town but somehow one of these peep's friends had a van to drive us to the club so we all went back inside and waited. I had no concept of time so I don't know how long we waited and such but we got to the club in the end and I met "Peter" and his friend Erik after such a long time. Me and Peter hung out the whole night till they closed the club. I lost Diana so I was left with Erik and "Peter". We went to Donken in Sture where people were literally chaotic. There were no lines to the cashiers. Crazi monkies.

HUGE UPDATE: part 2

Since I moved back home I have also had a period where I hung out on Reddit a lot. That's where I also met this new friend. Alex from Virginia. We started by me posting on a subreddit and then he commented and I replied and then he did and so it all started. We then moved to PM's and then I took it a step further and asked for any social media contact. Snapchat and iMessage it is. Nowadays we chat every day on Snapchat. He also gave me a free copy of Portal. He's nice and a sweet guy!

What else... I have also been chatting a lot with "Murran", that was before though, now I don't do it everyday as I used to. Sebbe is also here, the regular stuff ya kno. I also kind of, started a little "business" with him. Hopefully we'll be able to meet this summer where I can join him in Gothenburg and we'll chillax. We haven't met each other despite knowing each other since last summer.

I met Malin during Saturday. It was the first time in forever. We haven't really spoken or hung out since autumn, nope, we never met during Christmas when I was at home. We went shopping, or she did most of it, I didn't buy anything, just a necklace and then we went to get free selfie sticks!! So we just talked as we shopped and updated each other on our lives.

The same day I went clubbing and in Kristall we met Chris and Kennedy! I haven't met Chris since IEGS and Kennedy since 2012. Kennedy wanted to chat and hang with me alone... Ugh, no... Not this again. After Kristall closed me and my girls went to Donken nearby and stood outside, what we didn't know at the time was that Mr. "Wille" Viking Hahne was standing really close to us, maybe a meter away and when Diana dropped her lip balm cap and he picked it up we started talking. He was like "do you speak Russian?". He understood what Diana and Kammie said a bit. We all talked a bit with him but it ended up with only me talking to him. So yeah, I had a personal chat with a politically active person, and not with any party but with SD. I joked about him being a "pure viking", that's when he talked about his name and he had an actual necklace with this viking motive. Damn.

He had been to Kristall, he said, but I never saw him there. He had this blinking device which I never asked about but I assume it's some kind of protecting thing... In case he's attacked? He was kind of "rigid" but still pretty open. We also shook hands when we introduced each other. I'm still baffled that I met him and never realized his role at the moment until later. It was cool.

OnePlus One, 1+

Yeah, you heard me. I got an invite from Murran! When I went to their website I found out that you could buy this phone on Tuesdays! Without invitations! That's pretty stupid because it's not as exclusive anymore!!! All this hype and excitement about invitations and now it's all ruined with this Tuesday shit?!!!

Anyway, I didn't believe my eyes when I got the invitation. It was love at first sight when I first found out about the 1+ and it was no doubt that if I'd ever get the chance, I'd take it. And I did. Murran posted on fb about having 2 invitations and I quickly asked if I could have one. So yeah, I'm super excited and of course I got the 64 Gb black one.

Since my phone is rooted and flashed with a custom ROM, Cyanogen 11 (CM11), that means I have to go back to stock ROM in order to sell my phone. Urgh... So I gotta wipe my phone and go back to Android 4.3.

HUGE UPDATE: the past weeks since I moved back!

The past weeks have been a blur now that I look back. I haven't done any proper updates since the INNA concert, that was also when I recently moved back home.

Why did I move back home? Honestly, there's so many factors, personal and private once that I can't tell. Let's just shortly describe it that I was freaking traumatized. A lot of things happened and I don't really want to go back there. I am way more healthy now and Jkpg is probably going to be put as an end of a chapter of my life. 

ART

As noted in the previous post I've started to draw. I haven't really talked about how it all started, except I do that on my Tumblr: Creepyism1. In the beginning I experimented with scribbles and watercolor, but especially scribbles. I drew on an A4 sketchbook which was way too big and the art just came out really ugly in my opinion. It also felt like I was wasting paper, especially on such a beautiful sketchbook (which I bought in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam). So I realized I sucked and tried doing any random scribble on note sized paper. The first drawing I did was on Walter White from Breaking Bad. 

Keep in mind that I've never had any lessons or practiced scribbling or drawing at all. I did this one really quick and it came out so nice. Before doing this piece I liked drawing things right from my imagination but I obviously didn't have the skills to draw that well so I tried doing this "reality" drawing, which meant I had a picture and "copied" it down with my own drawing. I was damn proud of this Walter White piece. The first person to see this was my little brother and he saw immediately what it was. He wanted me to draw his idol and told me to start selling art and at that point I realized I really, 100%, had something going on. 

If you look at my Instagram now (click) you'll see all my works, from all the water color pieces to what I draw now. You can almost see where I started taking my drawing skills seriously and that's when I really put more effort into my works. I was the "lost artist, I did different art, water color and doodle art but I've always been interested in scribbles because it's rather quick and don't require too much detail (which is good and bad), or it depends on your style, but I am quite impatient with everything in life and the same for art. I work in bursts of energy, anyway I'm drifting off... What I'm trying to say is that I discovered my hidden skill with scribbles. Scribbles is such a nice and easy way to make rather good shadowing and such to make things look more realistic. 

So as I kept drawing everything just naturally blended into my own style. I started doing scribbles that were "empty", not much shadowing and such and my later works are filled with it, filled with scribbles. 

See the difference between this "clown" and Walter White? I actually did this clown right out of my imagination while a lot of my other pieces have a picture I looked at. I guess I'm dull that way... I hope I'll be good enough to use my own ideas and put them into beautiful pieces on paper in the future. But for now I'm in the newbie stage and I think it's best for me to draw from pictures so that I can practice shadowing and such. 

You know, I've never felt so lost as I've been, don't get me wrong, I still am really lost in my mind but finding this hobby really fills my soul with purpose. Somehow I feel a little better today than I did, let's say three weeks ago. I tried, I reached out but I couldn't find anyone and I realized that I will never give a shit about anyone but myself. Art has filled about 50% of that emptiness I felt. I knew I had a creative skill and I am so grateful for being lost in the sense that I found this hobby. 

The crazy thing is that I started drawing seriously at around 2nd March. Yeah, two weeks now, I've done these pieces with only 2 weeks of practice.

hey, wow, I suck

Well hello there. I have been lacking with the updates. What can I update about? First of all, I've moved back home to Stockholm so a new chapter has begun.

I have partied.. Last week we celebrated Diana's mums bd which we afterwards went clubbing. Saumans mum surprised us all by letting her go out with us. I've also started focusing more on art!

I do scribble art and have started a new Instagram for that. I've been having this Instagram for a couple of months now but it's NOW that I kind of realize that I wanna post some of my art works. Right now, today, I started a new Tumblr too for the sake of my art work. The Tumblr will probably have some description behind all my works, that's what I want my Tumblr for. But of course, people can follow just for the sake of the pictures.

Follow me on Instagram: CREEPYISM
On Tumblr: Creepyism1 (#1 at the end)

or you can look for the links in the description to the left.


In the beginning I just scribbled some shit together and I didn't put a lot of effort but the later works are cooler and you can see that I've put more effort into them.

How did I discover this skill and why did I choose this type of art? I'll answer this on my Tumblr. But basically it all happened by accident.

Update: Stockholm and INNA

It's been hell of a while since I've been updating around here. Well, I've been having so many changes going on in my life right now that I just forgot about the blog. But now I feel it's time to do an update about some events that have taken place recently.

So I am currently at home, in Stockholm again and I came like 3 Feb because of the INNA concert that took place on the 7th.

Friday night included partying with my beloved Diana and Saturday was INNA time. It was amazing to see INNA, however it was disappointing concidering the major lack of effort to give a good show. I mean, what the heck is she wearing? Shit to the gym? Come on!! Lost some respect for here there.

Anyway, me and Diana were at the front, literally. And I shook hands with INNA!  You gotta reach out! Her hand was cold and so small. Perhaps a bit sweaty..

That's how close she was. I could have her whole face up in my camera without zoom.

Sthlm: Christmas 2014

 I went home, to mah home city Stockholm! The first thing to happen: party. Every weekend was a party, and one weekend was a cruise. Yeah about the cruise! 

Me, Jimmy, Diana, Charles, "Kammie", Gabby, Inara, Anton and some more went for le cruise and it was nice to just meet the old high school friends from IEGS! Unfortunately Jimmy had too much and he was hangover for the whole cruise...

I have more pics of other parrtiez but I'll post about them later.

 

Fancy Ass Tea Cup

I have bought a tea cup, finally I can feel more fancy drinking the stuff. It took a long time to find this clear glass cup but I was very happy when I found it and the price was good too.

The buns are from my landlord, they are extremely yummy!

Tech g33k

Warning: geek talk.

Lately I've been into geek mode. I've rooted and flashed a custom ROM to my cellie. Those who don't know what "root" and "custom ROM" are, this is Android talk. Rooting= Apple's "jailbreak".

Rooting gives you full access and control of functions that were not available in the normal factory phone that you first got when you bought your phone.

Custom ROM: your phone is equipped with a "stock ROM", which is what you have from the factory. A custom is made from developers and they provide different ROMs for different purposes on the phone, depending on what you want and like, you can choose whatever you want. A custom ROM have better features (e.g. longer battery life, "better" user interference, etc.) than the original stock ROM.

Anyway, not gonna go further into this geek talk, but basically it's like hacking your phone, going outside of the manufacturer's works in order to customize, fix and trix, enhance stuff, etc. THAT'S WHY I LOVE ANDROID! And by the way, this is totally legal.

So YEAHHH, I've been flashing (installing) Cyanogen 11 (CM11) custom ROM and am now running Android 4.4 KitKat, even though my phone model never got an official update from Android, they stopped releasing updates after Jelly Bean 4.3.

Untz untz. At first I flashed a nightly ROM, which was a pain in the arse! So I switched to a snapshot and this one is way more stable, which is exactly what it should provide. But it's missing a month's of updates, I don't know, nor haven't seen anyone knowing about this month's update of the snapshot, so I'm running on the Oct. ROM.

E.g. this pic above, can you normally have this big of a pattern lock? Nah, didn't think so. Thanks to custom ROMs you can have it.

Android In My Heart

Android is king!!

I like how this one is supposed to be like a CPU

Lab: Blood Grouping

Today we had our first lab from this new course: Laboratory Methods In Transfusion. We have 7-8 practical ĺabs and 3-4 lectures. We've never had it this way before. Anyway, first lab today and we did blood grouping, you know, the ABO-grouping.

PC Work & A Bit of An Update

Lately I've been so damn busy with different stuff. But let's do a short recap of what's been going on lately. I've had an exam in molecular biology which me and Leo immediately went back to our gaming sessions afterwards. We've been gaming Mario Kart, Sonic Adventure 2, "Contra" and Mario Bros. Basically just gaming before and after the exam week. We played like 5-7h straight after the exam and ended the evening with McDonkie food, at least for my part. Anyway, really nice quality friendship time.

This weekend has been spent on building my computer, at least changing chassi. I wanted to change the old one because I got fed up with the nosie it caused. It's quite horrendous when you think about it. So I bought Define R4 chassi and thought it'd make a difference since it's superb with isolation. Hah, hell no.. It didn't make any major difference actually, because my video card is a damn pain in the as*. That stuff is what makes the noise. So... I'm not completely done with my built but hopefully soon it'll be complete.

It's really fun to build computers. All the details and technical stuff, really my cup of tea. However, things always manage to screw up and give me problems when I build. This time it's not because anything got destroyed but more like... The components suck...

Whatever. Here's a picture of my new chassi with some of the componens in it. Not really the flashiest, since I'm not a hardcore PC gamer. But it's enough for my usage.

This picture is however "old". I've made some adjustments in there. I've removed the "upper hard drive holder" for more free space and for a lil' better air flow in the whole box.

But for now I won't use my PC without a video card because everything feels like I'm running on Windows 97 again, so I'm on my laptop. Very uncommon grounds for a PC fan.

New shoes!

New badass shoes! They are surprisingly comfy!

NEW INSTAGRAM

I totally suck at updating my blog. I say this all the time, but I never change. I mean... What can I do? I am extremely busy. Being an adult ain't sweet.

Anyway, I'm posting this to show that I'm alive and I have a new Instagram that I'm working on! I've finally decided to put some extra effort, thought and practice onto my creative side. For years I've been putting my creative side aside, but lately my creativity has been itching and knocking on my brain to produce some art. So here's my new IG dedicated to my handwork.

CLICK HERREEE TO ARRIVE TO ABANDONEDFREAK! 

< ---- This Instagram is also added on the side bar of my blog profile. <----

I still find my artwork to be somewhat... Private... This is a gate into something quite intimate to me. But I guess anyone who discover this place on their own can stay.

Stockholm Visit

I was at home in Stockholm for a short visit. I came in hopes of the stupid hot air balloon flight that, of course, never happened because of the bad weather. Whatever.

I met Sauma, we hung out shortly but the main thing for this visit was to meet Diäänuh again! I don't think we've met since February. Damn, I've missed her! Even t hough we fought, but we still love each other and it was so nice to meet her again and just chat and gossip. Then we went off to Göta! 

Team pretty bitches

Android vs. Apple. Android In My Heart

1. Today was a good day for my Android usage. First off, I had updated my battery saving app (I use Easy Battery Saver) and the update totally sucked. Many customers complained and I was no exception. The update contained new unneccessary features that totally drained the battery faster than ever before. And so I gave my feedback and hated the world, until an idea popped up in my head.

Why don't I just download the old version externally?

BAYM!! I googled and apk file and there it was, the old version. I uninstalled the original app and downloaded the old version. BAM, my phone is now back to normal and my battery is saved.

2. SwiftKey is, in my opinion, the best keyboard out there on Google Play. I was just browsing the themes available for the app and I noticed the premier pack had its price crossed over and I started wondering what the actual price was (thought it was a sale). I didn't see anything because it said "FREE" right next to the price! And since SwiftKey's new themes are beautiful, I was of course thrilled! I downloaded the whole pack for free!! Thank you SwiftKey!!!! Daymn, these themes are beautiful!!! That was a nice moment, not even needing to update the whole app to get new themes, as you had to before. Good moment of shit.

And then we have this iPhone 6 coming out. I really believe that Apple went down since Jobs died. You guys aren't unique anymore. Apple keeps copying Android and you guys slowly, but steady are turning into Androids for every update. Just saying, just saying. I have an iPod 5 touch, I know what I'm talking about.

I even thought to myself... "The day iPhones are customizable like Androids, will be the day I'll buy an iPhone". Betrayal of Android. :( No, the only reason would be for Apple's camera. That's all, becuase the camera of the middle range Androids aren't that good. But then I just asked my heart, and I actually can never turn myself to Apple. I will stand by Android, especially Xperia. I love you guys. I'm a true Sony (Ericsson) customer.

And that's also the beauty of Android. You can solve anything with Android! If something effs up, you can simply google the problem and there will be something for you. Unhappy with an update of an app? There's probably an old version on Google. We love Google, and Google is running Android. See the power I'm talking about?

I might seem immature about this Android vs. Apple thing. "Why don't you just let people be?! Let them buy whatevah' dey waant!" Well, I am passionate about innovation (Android) and having full power of your device (customization. Fixin'-trixin') rather than worshipping a copy cat and being stuck with fixed usage (Apple).

I ain't hatin' on Apple users, because some of the best people in my life are real "Apples" (loyal Apple users), but just sayin'... I ain't hatin' on you guys. No judging. I'm just gonna do some green Android graffiti on your house. Just gonna reset your brain and teach you the Android life.

No, but in all seriousness. I'm just really passionate and proud about Android and it gets really annoying when people say all the new Apple features are new when they actually copied Android. That's probably on of the factors of how the war started.

(On the other hand... I do love Apple when it comes to their iPods, that's where I'm a true fan of them; but not the rest of their products...)

It's ALIVE!!

As usual I've been extremely busy! And still am! But I will post a huge update of what's been going on the past weeks!! Huge post about me going to Amsterdam will come too!

STRESS TO THE MAX

I'm so stressed right now. I have SOOO many things to deal with.

This is my time span: approx 2,5 hrs.

1. I've dealt with a b*tch ass thing about the hot air balloon thing. I don't wanna have more problems with that, so I'm wishing the company will go with my request.

2. I gotta sleep at 12 AM. Meaning I have very little time to deal with all my shit.

3. I need to do some cleaning in my room... And possibly my kitchen. But none of this will happen, because I have to time.

Why am I wasting time writing on the blog instead of doing things?

4. I. HAVE. TO. PACK! Not just a lil' packing for a trip to Stockholm. NO! I gotta pack for my whole trip to Amsterdam! I'm leaving on Sunday! I haven't done shit!

5. ....I haven't studied shit. Kill me. Seriously.

6. Tomorrow will be my last day at work. Sad. *Sob sob*.

I have 2,5 h to deal with most of these things. And I will, as usual, get ca. 5hrs of sleep.

I wish I could take a shower, but I'm not able to.

Heh, gotta pay my rent too. Screw this adult life.

Better go numb and get shit done
