Based on this I think you are going to like the Bieber episode. There’s not music all the way and it’s deffo not the classic musical style :-)

Ooh, this sounds promising, thanks for the tip! Will probably watch that one tomorrow, can’t have Ylvis overload after such a long silence :)

I’m so amused that you don’t like the musical music!!! My husband is right there with you. I don’t know that much about musicals but apparently there are TONS of references to specific musicals and the musical geeks are having a field day. And YES. Riot Coordinator!! I also LOLed at “pointless faffing about”, I’m not a fan of that either hahahaha

Aye, all a matter of taste :) I do believe the boys have mentioned being huge fans of musicals too, so no wonder they’d have references all over the place. At least there was riot coordinator indeed ;) Thank you!

Yep. (Sort of) Musical geek having a field day indeed! That was actually my highlight. I’m listening to the songs all day now.

Stories from Norway 19th of February, 21.30...

   I‘m still a bit mad that they try to sell it as a new idea when some of us remember infusicals. It‘s a bit like ‚Ytterst på tissen’. They take their own joke and at some point take it seriously enough to really make something out of it.    

I totally agree...they have done it before but as long as the idea is good I'm ok with that...:) Maybe we should dig more into their earlier jokes/works to see what will come out next after Stories from Norway...😂😂😂

Just one two things I don’t like about myself that make it hard to answer this question: procrastinating and overthinking. 

Now for the five things I like about myself…

1. I’m good at listening. Even if I’m terribly annoyed by the person talking, I can still listen and remember what they say.

2. I haven’t given up on Norwegian! I can understand what is going on in SKAM as long as the Norwegian subtitles are on. I don’t listen to Norwegian conversation everyday so obviously my listening/speaking skills are severely lacking.

3. I’m motivated to cook well. I’m not super creative so I rely on tried-and-tested tips from the internet instead of figuring it out myself, but that’s how I like to work.

4. Resourcefulness when finding things on the internet. That helps with no. 3 and other trivial problems.

5. Throughout my childhood the adults in my life labelled me “quiet” and “shy”; my mom complained I never changed. Not surprising since no one cared or tried to help in that area. I like that as I got older and could plan my own activities, I deliberately signed up for jobs/volunteer positions that would force me to interact with strangers. That’s how I got over certain hang-ups, through desensitization. Still way behind other people my age but I think I will catch up eventually…in 30 years. lol.

This was harder than I thought it would be, but I gave it a shot :) 

1) My growing confidence and acceptance of myself as I get older. I’m not saying I am a very confident person, but I have really become more comfortable with myself (both mentally and physically) in the past few years, and it has made a big difference in so many aspects of my life. I’m not all the way “there” yet, but I am better than I used to be. 

2) My empathy and understanding. I try to always understand where other people are coming from. I don’t always achieve it, but I do try. This doesn’t mean I always agree or accept another person’s point of view or position, but I do try to make sense of why they think the way they do. 

3) My ability to be self-aware and mindful. I work hard to be aware of my shortcomings and reactions in situations. I am not always able to correct them, but I am of the opinion that being self-aware of one’s faults (and strengths for that matter) goes a long way and is a desirable quality to have. 

4) My willingness to try new things, even if they push me well beyond my comfort zone. There were many things in my childhood and early adult life that I wanted to do but could not for a number of reasons. So, I have tried in the last few years to put aside my fears of looking foolish and do the things I want to do and/or always wanted to but was never able to. I have traveled more (even to Norway twice), I play on a soccer team, I have learned a new language, I have recently started taking an adult beginner ballet class, and I have made some amazing friends through all of this. I have fewer regrets and am happier. 

OH my god that basketball story… and I thought I was environmentally challenged!
