I promised to write in my blog any weird dreams. Today I dreamt that I was shot and killed by Nicole Kidman. When I woke up I tried to understand why my head made me dream something like that. I had not seen any movies lately. I saw a trailer for a film called "The Invasion" where she is a main character, about 4 months ago, but based on that trailer I did not want watch that movie. I think I saw the film called "Molin Rouge" almost 8 months ago. I came to the conclusion that, when I dream something it just doesn't make any sense.

Geir and sports...

The year 07/08 and 08/09 I lived away from my hometown and went to two different, but both very social art schools. For the year 09/10 I moved home to go to the university and learn anthropology. There were about 100 students in my class. After some weeks, I realized that it was probable that I would not get friends in this class.

I searched for a solution in my wisdombook, and the solution according to my book, was to join several new social environments. It suggested that I shoud seek oragnized sport, since it is a social activity for many people. The book had more arguments: being physically active increases blood circulation in the brain, so that I would become smarter. And... If I did not get any new social relations, at least I would be too tired (because of the sport) to care.

On the Internet I found a list of sports at the university. At first, I could not decide what sport to join, but then I thought it could be a good idea to try them all. The next day I participated in Qwan ki do practice and learned to fight with a bamboo stick. Som days later I participated in underwater rugby practice. I also wanted to join a boxing club, but I have only particpated 1 time so far.

Underwater rugby (wvr) is not a very social sport. Everyone is learning how to swim like fish. Noone is saying anything, maybe because everyone is underwater 95% of the time. One can not see anyones face either.

Today I went to Qwan ki do training. I wanted to fight with bamboostick, but the Master told me that I had to learn the basics instead of bomoostick-fighting. The basics is a boring dance-like thing; just moving hands and feet in a weird way. I realized two things: alomst never do anything turn out the way one plans it to... and although I have not really found the ultimate social environment for me, I am like the wisdombook told me I would be; to tired to care.

Computergames and swearing...

Sometimes it feels like waste of time to have played a video or computer game. Today I played a game called "Heroes of Newerth" (on a laptop with linux ubuntu os). Its a online game. They have a nice system to match equal opponents: pro is the best, noobs allowed is medium, and noobs is worst. Since I am complete newbie to the game I chose to play agains "noobs".

When the game starts I am supposed to choose a hero. The first time, I go for a panda with a bamboostick. I am supposed to buy uppgrades for my hero, and I buy some health potions. I am also supposed to choose what hero-skill I want to upgrade, and I choose the "smack the enemy with bamboostick"-upgrade.

I have 4 human controlled hero-allies on my team. From our base, computer-controlled smaller allies begin their mission to kill enemy , and I join them. I use my hero skill upgrade and kill small computer-controlled enemy. Soon I get to level 2, and I am therefore allowed to choose more upgrades: Level 2 bamboostick-smack...

An enemy hero attacks me. I try to defend myself whith the double-bamboosmack, but he kills me easily. The same pattern repeats itself later. Then my allies write to me: "ffs" "omg" "damn" "stupid" and and a long "neverending" list of swearwords. And of course they call me "noob". I ask them if this is a for-noobs-game, and they confirm that it is correct. According to them my rank should be "ultrasupadopa-noob loser of Newerth". Some of them suggests that I should just uninstall the game.

Later I play together with a friend. He suggests that I should play with a tree-hero, and his heroskill is to be invisible. We play on the same team. First I use the hero skill wrong; I didn't hide in the forest. My friend uses alot of swearwords, and does not understand how it is possible to get killed when "invisible". When I learn to use the skill, I realize that I is quite boring to just be invisible, so i quit. On screen it's displayed: RAGEQUIT.

So why did I write all this? I notice that some people who play coop online games swear more than others, and that is for me perceived as obscene phraseology to express negative feelings in an effective way, and that is not so kind.

Today I had a weird dream. In my dream I had a large spider (1) under my bed. He was my pet, and his job was to guard against larger insects (2) He noticed a mammoth bug (3) but the mammoth bug managed to hide and my spider was sad. That's when the dream ended....

1: Maybe twice as large as this one
2: 5 times as large
3: Smaller and more insect-like.

My first blog

My friend Jakob and my brother Kristian suggested that I should write a blog, since I write so much in my red journal called "liber sapientiæ tertius a Geiro scriptus" (latin, means " third wisdombook written by Geir"). Now it is done.
