Goodbye 2014.... What?

2014 is drawing to a close, and I feel a little sad. All in all it was a crazy fun year. I made a list of some of the cool things I did this year. Because reasons. And I love lists :)

Cosplay: Elsa (More pictures)

The weather is pretending that it's winter already. That means cold, and very very windy. I mean, make you fall over windy.

So naturally, I saw a photographic opportunity. And it went really well. Except for that terrifying moment when my tripod fell over and my camera, my precious three month old camera landed on a rock. Let me tell you, that was really, really scary. However my camera sustained minimal damage. Only three dents and dings. Phew it could have been a LOT worse....


What is this post about? Elsa, OH RIGHT. Okay, pictures. Here they are (oh yeah, and I decided to forego the wig, 'cause let's face it;I was just not meant to be white blond):

Let's here it for random websites that allow you to add snow!

 

 I don't know which I like better, the origonal (this one)

 

Or this one.

 

 From the back

 

 

 I really like this one. :)

 

 

First Norway Vlog

So here is the first
installment of our trip, most of the lighting is weird, thanks to the
um lights. And it's grainy because I used my iPod's camera for the
majority of
the trip. It being small and attracting less attention than my Fujifilm.
Truth be told I was terrified about filming, stage fright or something.

Vlog fright. :P

Umm so yeah, watch it, don't watch it, here it is. :)


 

We had to ask for directions to get to our hotel.
The two ladies that Mom talked to were awesome, and spoke flawless
English. Apparently English is taught in almost every grade in school,
which would account for the fact that most of the Norwegians we talked
to have 70% awesome English. How cool is that? To be able to speak more
than one language almost fluently. Makes me jealous!
