Hva gjorde du i 2016 som du aldri har gjort før?
Fløy til London tre ganger på én uke. Var med i en internasjonal reklame. Gjorde språkvask for en erotisk bokserie. Underviste på HiOA. Barberte av meg alt håret. Fikk septumpiercing. Lagde ramen. (Dette MÅ nevnes, for hjemmelaget ramen er fantastisk.) Fotograferte til en bok. Besøkte Oslo Vegetarfestival. Lekte «tegnspråktolk» i Senkveld med Thomas og Harald. Besøkte Tromsø og Bodø. Underviste dans i min gamle barnehage og på døveskolen i Trondheim.
Hvilke land har du besøkt det siste året?
La oss si byer, så listen ser litt mer imponerende ut: London, New York, Tromsø, Bodø, Bergen, Trondheim, Drøbak, Kristiansand.
Hvilke datoer i 2016 vil du aldri glemme, og hvorfor?
8. november. Fordi da jeg våknet den morgenen, hadde noen skrudd klokka 80 år tilbake.
Ble du forelsket i 2016?
Nei, heldigvis ikke. Begynte å like en jente litt, men hun viste seg å være en løgnaktig drittsekk, så det gikk fort over.
Hva var ditt favorittprogram på TV Netflix?
How I Met Your Mother, Doctor Who (som alltid!), Downton Abbey og Stranger Things. Tror jeg må nevne et par filmer som jeg syntes var fantastiske: I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House, Tomorrowland, Warm Bodies, Suffragette, Ghostbusters, The Conjuring 2, Mad Max: Fury Road og Deadpool.
Hvilken bok er den beste du har lest i år?
I skrivende stund har jeg lest 155 bøker hittil i år (hele kulturlisten blir postet 31. desember klokka 23.59). Og mange av dem likte jeg, blant annet The Miseducation of Cameron Post, alt av Neil Gaiman og Terry Pratchett, The Martian, novellesamlingene A cat, a hat and a piece of string og A wild swan, and other tales, samt Simon og homo sapiens-agendaen, St. Croix-trilogien og Warm Bodies.
Hva var årets beste musikalske oppdagelse?
Jeg fant ut at musikk fra platespiller høres helt fantastisk ut. Som CI-bruker er det litt vanskelig for meg å høre hva slags kvalitet det er på musikken jeg lytter til, men når det gjelder vinyl, kan jeg godt forstå hvorfor folk sverger til det.
Hva gjorde du på bursdagen din?
Tok siste dose Neo-Mercazole. Spiste sachertorte-kake hos moren min.
Hva har holdt deg i mental balanse?
Instagramvideoer av kaniner, katter og hunder. Kaninflopp ♥
Hvem var den beste nye personen som kom inn i livet ditt?
Bernie Sanders. Han ville ha vunnet.
Ønsker og planer for det nye året:
Mer lesing, mer dansing, mer tegning, mer henging med bra folk, mer reising, mer fransk. Verdensfred.
What did you do in 2016 that you’ve never done before?
I flew to London three times in one week, was in an international commercial, did copy editing on an erotic book series, taught at HiOA (Oslo and Akershus University College), shaved off all my hair, got a septum piercing, and made ramen. (This HAD to be mentioned because ramen is fantastic.) I took photographs for a book, attended Oslo Vegetarfestival, performed as a «sign language interpreter» in Senkveld med Thomas og Harald (a Norwegian comedy talk show), visited Tromsø and Bodø, and taught dance in my old kindergarten and at the deaf school in Trondheim.
Which countries have you visited this year?
Let’s say cities so that the list might seem more impressive: London, New York, Tromsø, Bodø, Bergen, Trondheim, Drøbak, Kristiansand.
Which dates in 2016 will you never forget, and why?
November 8. Because when I woke up that morning, somebody had turned the clock back 80 years.
Did you fall in love in 2016?
No, fortunately not. I started to like a girl a bit, but she turned out to be a lying sack of shit, so that passed quickly.
What was your favourite TV Netflix show?
How I Met Your Mother, Doctor Who (as always!), Downton Abbey, and Stranger Things. I think I have to mention a couple of movies which were fantastic: I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House, Tomorrowland, Warm Bodies, Suffragette, Ghostbusters, The Conjuring 2, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Deadpool.
Which book is the best you have read this year?
At the time of writing this, I have read 155 books so far this year (the entire culture list will be posted December 31 at 11.59 pm). I liked several of them, among others The Miseducation of Cameron Post, everything by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, The Martian, the short story collections A Cat, a Hat, and a Piece of String, and A Wild Swan, and Other Tales, plus Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, the St. Croix trilogy, and Warm Bodies.
What was the best musical discovery?
I discovered that music from a turntable sounds amazing. As a CI user, it’s a little difficult for me to hear the quality of the music I’m listening to, but when it comes to vinyl, I can very well understand why people swear by it.
How did you spend your birthday?
I took the last dose of Neo-Mercazole, and had Sacher torte with my mother.
What kept you mentally balanced?
Instagram videos of bunnies, cats, and dogs. Bunny flops ♥
Who was the best new person to enter your life?
Bernie Sanders. He would have won.
Wishes and plans for the new year:
More reading, more dancing, more drawing, more hanging out with good people, more travelling, more French. World peace.
