Be occupied with a remembrance of His Passion, and make for yourself a dwelling place in His blessed wounds.- Thomas a Kempis
We must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are in fact, here for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives.- Stranger Than Fiction
I should have made use of every opportunity to drop a tear into my glass, and then drain it to all that was sublime and beautiful.-Dostoevsky

So do I.
Sounds wonderful. Mmmmmm.... I've never heard about the milk tip, though. Interesting. -A
Time for a new post!
Hi, this is maybe a little two-bit,
but I think I saw you in a documentary about your father on swedish television today. Thought you'd like to know. I really enjoy a good art documentary, I get all into it and wants to start painting right away. Are you an artist as well?
(If you think my english is inadequate it's because I'm norwegian.)
Well, my e-mail is henriknerhagen@hotmail.com. (I've always wanted an american friend, so that's why I'm discretaly mentioning my e-mail.)
That's about it. Henrik
Because the English is so well written, I am tempted to believe that Henrik is entirely fictional...
Oh wow, do you? Really?
Well, I guess my apologies for my english was kinda 'fictional'. Like many other norwegians growing up in the 1980's I got stuck on the the american culture on tv, so this language ain't exactly new to me. But although I read english alot, it's not that often that I write in english. So that's my explanations.
It's kinda special for us scandinavians actually because we don't dub english tv. We just subtext it. So that's why the french and germans and so on are not quite so english'y as us.
Other than that, I simply don't know how to proof my innocense. You could check out the programs for Swedish Television 1 at sunday 11 of july, but then again you probably suspect me for being swedish.
That's my closing arguments for now, stop badgering the witnesses. (The practice was a nice show)
Henrik
It seems impossible to me that a person could be Norwegian and Swedish simultaneously. Time to fess up, Henrik.
Good call Shannon! Stay away from the weirdos.
Josh
To Josh: Not only am I swedish, I'm also a weirdo? What makes you think that? What's with you americans?
To Shannon: I'm not simultaneously anything, I'm norwegian straight through. Why is that so hard to accept? Have you ever heard of Norway? Are you americans aware of that there is a world outside the US? Are you a Flaming Lips fan? Do you watch the simpsons and maybe the sopranos? Have you got your ride pimp'd? These and many more are all questiones I was hoping that you would oblige to talk about.
Besides that, I wanted to find out more about this person I briefly saw on tv, and if this person really was you. Because if you are, you'd be the daughter of jeff koons, ("the artist").
Instead you put me through this Kafka-process being interogated and not knowing what the charges are.
(Maybe I'm going a little over the top with that one.)
Unfortunately, you're obviously not interested. Quoting the rejectees at the ElimiDate-show: it's your loss.

1. I am not Jeff Koons's daughter. I have never heard of him nor his "artistry."
2. Mais oui, bien sûr, je suis très sage sûr les sujets d’Europe. Je ne suis pas comme les autres américains qui ne peuvent pas vivre sans leurs télés ou la famille simpson ! Si vous voulez m’accuser, il faut que vous trouviez un autre sujet.
3. My car hasn't been pimp'd, I dislike Simpsons, never seen the Sopranos, and who are the Flaming Lips anyways?
If you are truly Norwegian, I hope you understand not all Americans are as shallow as pop culture television shows. Some of us actually have lives we lead -- people to see, places to go!
Dear Henrik,
I apologize if I truly was mistaken about your identity, but I have heard one to many stories about online preaditor freaks, and your story just isn't flowing, so I am very inclined to believe that you are a fake.
sincerely,
Josh
