Quirky Swedish indie girlfriend

where are you going with this one

first quirky Swedish indie president?

She's no curvy Colombian wife, I'll tell you what.

You gotta see her final piece of coursework from her art degree, she took all of these Blythe dolls and replaced their eyes with peacock feathers. She's so quirky.

Yeah, she likes Peter Paul and John and the Concretes, but she introduced me to all this weird Malaysian rock 'n' roll from the 60s! She's crazy.

4,768 harmless personality types down, another 6,786 left to go.

Actually make that 4,767 - the neo-Burlesque dudes are a bit creepy.

sounds like another failed Okcupid sexxing attempt :(

She keeps this blog with all her doodles on. She's making a comic book about an abandoned puppy that becomes an accessories buyer at a Brick Lane boutique.

It's called Bobo's Adventures In Fashion

It's Beck's Nitemare Hippy Girl amirite?

She took me off my guard with disappointment
I got sucked inside of her apartment
Shes got dried-up flowers, flaky skin
A beaded necklace and a bottle of gin

Shes a nightmare hippy girl
With her skinny fingers fondlin my world
Shes a whimsical, tragical beauty
Self-conscious and a little bit moody

Its a new age let-down in my face
Shes so spaced out and there aint no space
Shes got marijuana on the bathroom tile
Im caught in a vortex, shes changin my style

Shes a nightmare hippy girl
With her skinny fingers fondlin my world
Shes a whimsical, tragical beauty
Uptight and a little bit snooty

... oh, oh, oh ...

Shes a magical, sparklin tease
Shes a rainbow chokin the breeze
Yo, shes bustin out onto the scene
With nightmare bogus poetry
Shes a melted avocado on the shelf
Shes the science of herself
Shes spazzing out on a cosmic level
And shes meditating with the devil
Shes cooking salad for breakfast
Shes got tofu the size of texas
Shes a witness to her own glory
Shes a never-ending story
Shes a frolicking depression
Shes a self-inflicted obsession
Shes got a thousand lonely husbands
Shes playin footsie in another dimension
Shes a goddess milking her time for all that its worth

Re: comic book girl, Oh I know that one

"Bobo's Adventures In Fashion"

I would read this.

They know exactly what they are doing. I imagine part of the fun of being a hot Swedish indie girl is that you can make indie boys jump through all sorts of ridiculous hoops in the hope they will get to have sex with you. Such as making them read comics called 'Bobo's Adventures In Fashion'.

Swedish indies girls have inverse taste for sure

My former housemate had a girlfriend just like this and she was ace and we're still friends even though she and Tom split up. She is a truly lovely girl and taught me how to make Swedish-style semonlina porridge with cinamon and gave me my favourite ever nickname (Docka - it's the Swedish word for doll.) I will not hear a word against quirky Swedish indie girls.

So, yes, we made mobile phone videos where our fingers starred as worms and drew on each other, but you know it's a lot more fun than gazing wall-eyed at the television all night.

(Matt, I have a feeling you may have met Maj at a party of mine actually?)

Can't remember, I spent most of the night reading twee comics.

do swedish indie girls like awesome metal shows?

She's probably not chubby enough for Dom.

Hah, she bakes a lot! She made these cup cakes, but she did little cute skulls and crossbones on the top of each one in icing. She's on a big pirate kick right now, she wore an eyepatch the other day. She's so zany.

She sounds great.

Steady now, pirate costume abuse is one of the most tiresome things a young adult can do to him/herself. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Hey hey: ARRRRRRRR!

I meant about making cakes really. I am hungry. An eyepatch would be fine though.

AVAST!!! OI SEE VITTLES AHOY!!!! LET'S GO N PACK SOME GRUB ME ARTIES, ARRRRRRR!!!!!

*eats joyless dry-sponge cupcakes moodily*

What do you get if you cross a great movie with a hilarious nerd subculture?

Snakes On ARRRRRR Plane!

"great", "hilarious".

Now I know where Dom works, I can send his manager what he really does at the office all day. Maybe.

I'm saying nothing...

Where this particular hilarious nerd subculture (practised by a depressingly broad and super-cultural cross-section of studenthood AFAICT) falls down, unfortunately, is that every single piece of its indigenous vernacular was included in my last, very short, post. There's only so many AVASTS that can sustain an evening.

They so zany!

Just low-hanging fruit now

now some swedish examples please

also: what's happened to baking in the rest of the world?

She thinks listening to fey guitar music is keeping the torch of socialism alive, she's so wacky!

You could be my king
I'd would knit you mittens and make you pie
We could fall in love
I could be the apple of your eye
Let's do it right, now

My new favorite thing to do
Is wasting my time on a bum like you
My new favorite thing to do
Is wasting my time on you

whenever i think of her crazy character in the house, i just start laughing on my own, even when im not actually watching. felt she was abit OTT at first but the more you observe her, the more you realise that she's just who she is, CRAZY!however, there is more to her than cookies.she's a people's people and shes genuine. i wonder what shes like when she gets angry, if she does!

Eu sou completamente fora de minha profundidade aqui

Louis that is the greatest gif in history. WTF?

OTM.

Awww kittens!

Turns out this guy I know is Swedish, not Norwegian as I thought for a long time. Actually, when I first met him I just thought he was a non-foreign indie wanker attempting to be quirky.

I asked her who her big style influences were. She said Louisa May Alcott and Trotsky.

she possibly has an eating disorder!

this whole thread is aka "lol, students"

what do u guys think of dom's quirky scarf

i miss quirky swedish friend. she was hard to understand but a lot of fun to hang out with.

I don't miss quirky Netherlandsian man who thought Stevie Ray Vaughan was the only blooz ever made.

Ringo is her favourite Beatle.

What is yr thing abt indie girls with one mild but notable quirk, Dom? Thinly-veiled swoonage masking as something unfathomable? How about I wear floppy Joni Mitchell hat?

more into brooding danish boy models right now, tbh

They all look wicked snotty, tho; all sneering at my mousy hairs and schlubbitude.

When quirky Swedish girlfriends go wrong

wtf.

So how come Iain Sinclair gets away with it?

"The Swedish woman is in fighting mode... It takes six officers to restrain her...."

is this the most WTF iPlayer video ever?

If only Tommy Vance were still with us to narrate.

"What a pair of dickheads they arerrrrnnnnnnnnuuuhhhh."

what in the FUCKING HELL was that actually about? superhuman swedish weirdness ahoy. so many questions ...

This was on TV last night, I didn't see it but my wife related the whole thing later.

W.T.F.?

original post makes me think instantly of

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/30/cd/cdf5024128a0c71f8857e010._AA240_.L.jpg

she don't eat meat but she sure like the bone

I want to go to Sweden

?!

I was surprised when looking at iPlayer last week to find Traffic Cops is apparently the third most-watched thing on there. I can't for the life of me figure out why. Admittedly, it would have been weirder to see Rail Cops up there, but still.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_necking

Somehow I missed this last week. I can't believe the lack of information on these crazy ladies. Internet rumour has one of them stabbing someone after she was released from custody. Surely can't be right?

And yet it seems so...
http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2008/09/swedish-twin-charged-with-murder-one-of.html

Jeezo. The clip was fairly low on analysis and context. You'd think this^ might've been worth mentioning

there might be a very good legal reason why the two stories aren't being linked. i really wouldn't want to speculate too much.

http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/news/Woman-40-murder-charge/article-322406-detail/article.html

That did occur to me, but then it also occurred to me that the same reason might also apply to showing footage of the alleged perp doing crazy shit

hang on, this is obvious:

- footage of running across road etc was only released AFTER that first trial had finished
- but this murder business is a new trial at which, er, a swedish woman who happens to have the same name and could well be the same person (that OK, lawyers?) has been charged
- so whole thing is still sub judice; any previous charges shouldn't be mentioned

... despite the fact there's footage pertaining to one offence ALL OVER THE FUCKING INTERNET :)

jesus, the law in this country really is in need of some substantial overhauling.

so i suppose, wrt your comment about "same reason might also apply" ... the problem here is simply that the legal system hasn't yet caught up with youtube etc/video on demand! ideally that footage should all be taken down again -- but how the hell would that be policed?

It couldn't be, they'd just have to make sure that the jurors weren't aware of it. Widespread as the footage is, that wouldn't be that hard - if Peter Tobin/various bomb plots/tabloid villain of choice can get still get fair trials after widespread publicity, it won't be hard to do the same for quirky swedish girlfriend

I don't think it's YouTube that's the problem, it's more that Greater Manchester Police (or whoever it was) have obviously been dying to release this crazy film, but didn't think to check whether that was ok with their fellow law-enforcers - i.e. what were once staid public service organisations now whore themselves out for publicity

and Youtube and the Police is one thing, but this was on the BBC !

OK, that's two things, but still...

it's more that Greater Manchester Police (or whoever it was) have obviously been dying to release this crazy film, but didn't think to check whether that was ok with their fellow law-enforcers

good point: does that "this is staffordshire" article predate the release of the footage? i've no idea if it was common currency by september 12 or not (and i can't be arsed looking).

what were once staid public service organisations now whore themselves out for publicity

good point, well made.

does that "this is staffordshire" article predate the release of the footage?

I think so. This only seems to have come out last week, seemingly to advertise Traffic Cops.
I don't know if the police are completely happy about this coming out. It seems to me that they look a bit foolish in it, esp when the one woman does the escaping from the law by getting out of your coat trick. Having said that, you wouldn't get me tangling with crazy people on the hard shoulder of the motorway.

The Swedish press aren't so circumspect.

dom, did the girl ever talk to you?

Matt, a man has died, this isn't the time for jokes

Woah.

Is it extreme manic disorder, or something?

They are aliens...no, wait, the whole thing was staged...no, hang on, they've taken a drug which allows the body to change it's molecular structure...no, they're a mind control experiment that's gone wrong...they are all these things and more...

"old women in their 80's throwing 3 policeman out of a window"

What happened to this two women?

^ this

OK then, THESE two women?

I see from the Swedish news report above that one went home but the other was due back in court in November. Lost in the British justice system?

I want one of these.

Green is a mad color?

Yesterday I saw a woman with Swedish features wearing a quirky bright pink hat and big glasses. I swear the first thing I thought was "there's that quirky Swedish girlfriend"

She was actually wearing a hot pink hat.
