About me:
My Blog
My full name is Guðlaug Hermannsdóttir and no american has been able to pronounce it correctly. There's only one other person who bears the exact same name and she is my grandmother. My name means bright as god and I don't even believe in god. I'm an Ace Face. If you know what that means I'll marry you. My favorite color is the combination of green and purple. I've lived in three countries apart from my own. I moved from my parents when I was fifteen, and out of the country when I was seventeen. I haven't been able to linger in one place since, and I'm still not sure if that's a problem. Stockholm is my favorite city, Paris is the runner-up. I have a love-hate relationship with America, but I always end up going back. My first paid job was growing plants for my grandfather, along with my cousin, when I was eleven years old. My best job was being a camp counselor and co-editor of the camp newspaper. My ideal profession would be an astronomer. I've recently developed a shoe fetish and finally I feel like a woman. I'm slowly becoming a vegetarian, without any extra efforts. I feel fulfilled. My biggest dream is to win a known film award, or at least be nominated. My favorite saying is "sometimes you just have to roll with it". I've owned a magic dress for ten years and it works every time. I love rain, making lists and when the Ikea catalog comes out in August. I own seven pairs of Converse shoes. I've seen every single Vin Diesel movie. I'd rather travel by train than plane. My stepmom is three years younger than I. My husband is the real life Seth Cohen. My favorite smell is cute-boy armpit smell. Things keep getting better. If I could buy one item right now it'd be a scooter. I'd like to invent a machine that records dreams, and that includes day-dreams. I like sitting up front in movie theaters, 4th row is ideal. I want to get lost in a labyrinth. It was years until I realized that a ton of stones is not heavier than a ton of cotton. Don't get me started on a death-penalty debate unless you're ready to loose. I dont think it's necessary to treat other people the way you'd like to be treated because they might not have the same taste. I want to form a 60s/70s revival cult and move to the country-side. Who's with me?

Paris Park Life.
I made this.

Alexander Kapranos is the sex.
My live revolves around..

.. traveling to unseen places..
.. and experimenting with new activities.

Television was created for this..

..and this.

Substitute for life.

Who I'd like to meet:
Mods, beatniks and those who got the swing.
