Today I have been to the American Embassy in Oslo. The security there is ridiculous. Who the fuck would try and bomb/terrorize an embassy in Norway? No one. Other than the thirty minutes we stood outside in the cold sunshine while they checked us, it was a very enjoyable trip. Apparently, we impressed the embassy lady with all our knowledge of American politics and how your government system work. Our teacher just about glowed with pride. Also: American Coca Cola tastes like... sugary shit. I much prefer the Norwegian version with much less sugar.

I was going to make this long fangirly post about my favourite film: MAX MANUS. It's a Norwegian movie about the German occupation of Norway during the second world war and about these guys who's doing their best to sabotage the Nazis. It's a true story. Almost every character in the movie was real and the script is based on Max Manus' books. And I love it to bits. And I shall tell you why tomorrow or something, cause my head is killing me. I'm going to go take a bath and then I'm going to sleep.

But look out for that fangirl post. It shall contain pictures and I am even going to bribe you all to watch it in exchange for fic and Norwegian chocolate. Not even kidding. If you watch that movie and have a conversation with me about I WILL SEND YOU CHOCOLATE. I AM THIS DESPERATE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO FANGIRL WITH. (It's just not the same sighing over the prettiness of Nicolai Cleve Broch to my brother...)

So yeah... Tomorrow.

American embassies around the world are fortifies like this. It's a sad necessity unfortunately. If you only spent thirty minutes getting in, then consider your self lucky. I spent one and a half hours waiting (and I had an appointment!) outside the American embassy in London central trying to get thru the various levels of security. The embassy in Montreal was the easiest though. It took me only forty five minutes to get in. :)

Wow, yeah... To be honest, I expected it to take longer since I've heard so much about the tight security. But maybe it was because it was the middle of the day and I went with my English class, so they were expecting us... Anyway, I know that the security is tight, but I still think it's a tad ridiculous. Oh well...

*squints* So my head is clearly not working right now... what exactly did you mean there? Should I feel insulted? *my brain is mush right now* *I feel stupid*

You, as in me or You as in Norwegians? Cause I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a threat to the American Embassy in Oslo, they just closed the gates after September 11th... I'm pretty sure they tightened the security all over the world, not just here.

Bah. This is too serious for me to be talking about today. My eyes barely work...

I'm making that fangirl post right now, but I can tell you now that I have a link where you can watch it online with English subtitles.
