Just a few things about me.

I thought I'd make a post to introduce myself a little bit, even though I'll probably end up rambling on about everything.

As you can see in the section "About Me" I'm a 20 year old woman from Norway currently located in England.
I live with my boyfriend and our little Bengal. Currently we live in a one bedroom apartment, oh how I wish we had a house and a garden so our cat could run outside and play. I'm definatley going to miss this place when we move.. Which is strange cause I actually didn't like it all that much here to start with, or well.. I loved the apartment to start with but after a while I grew tired of it and just fancy moving, yet.. I will miss the apartment, but more than that I'll miss the area.

I miss Norway alot.. But what I miss the most is the food I think. It's just that the food here is rather different and we have so much yummy stuff in Norway that I can't get here. When my parents came over to visit us for a month ago they bought us loads of Norwegian food, I was so happy! Still got some left of course but I'm trying like mad to save it.

I've had M.E for nearly 7 years so I can't quite say that I remember how it is to have a fully normal life and I often tend to forget that others actually "can" wake up early, get out of the house straight away, walk 5 minutes without any trouble and be fine when they come back home. My boyfriend often goes down to the shop to buy me breakfast or something and I feel so bad everytime I ask him to cause for me that wouldn't be as easy as it is for him.

I realise it might seem strange that I'm writing in English, I just feel that it's a bit more international and hopefully I might get some people from here and there who want to read some of the stuff I'll write on this blog.

I'm not quite sure how often I'll actually be writing here, it's my second or third attempt to start a blog and I usually always end up not writing cause I don't have much to say, yet I do.. I just don't want the world to see me as this whiny little annoying thing cause I'm explaining how shit my day has been or how much I miss being able to do whatever I want etc. I guess we'll see how it goes anyways!

There's a few people who sorta encouraged me to write a blog in the first place. One of them is a woman I've followed for years now. She got M.E as well and she comes across so many interesting things that I just can't keep myself from checking her blog several times a day.
The other person is an in real life friend of mine, Frida. We basically grew up together. Our mums worked together and therefore we ended up playing, having sleepovers and all that. Even though we don't speak very often anymore I'm constantly checking her blog for updates to see what she's up to! Even if we don't speak very often it doesn't matter cause the few times we do it seems like there's been no time at all since last time we spoke.

I love that there's a few people in my life who hasn't abandoned me completely cause I got ill. Most of the "friends" I once had are gone.. Basically because I couldn't always meet them and then I got worse so I didn't have much energy to do anything at all. I can see how it seems like I didn't give a shit about them and just wanted them to leave me the hell alone, but that wasn't the case. It's just not that easy to make them understand what I'm going through, especially when I don't like "whining" about how I feel or whatever. I tried to explain a few times, but most people aren't interested in hearing how a sick person is..
But hey, it's in times like these you find out who's your real friends.

I will write some more later but now I'll get back to adjusting my blog a bit more. Have to try and get it the way I want it to be!
