@Sweden January 23, 2012 23:15
Bidding you a good night! My first day as @sweden coming to an end. Love to have taught you about Lützen, lullabies and the swedish schools!
@Sweden January 23, 2012 23:10
To be a true “Svensson” a typical swede, you should have a house, a dog and a Volvo. (villa, vovve, Volvo). I lack the house.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 23:08
@mahesw yes to the Volvo but no villa :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 23:07
@bruce_lloyd we probably would enjoy it, but it is not very common ‘.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 23:06
@bruce_lloyd they are inspired from at 18th century wallpaper :)

@jlfxa oh! Please don’t! Keep asking till you get an answer! That’s what I tell my students :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 22:47
@uaberu not in direct translation but it is getting more and more common to use bonus instead of “styvbarn” – stepchild

@AlecPerkin I won! :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 22:44

I am a single mother of two. In the way that I am not single. But I don’t live with the father of my boys. So they are with me every other w

@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:48
.@elservilletas Anna is one of the most common names, and has been for ages. But it is starting to fade out a little I think.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:46
Thank you for the help with the spelling of dense!
@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:45
@FizaIsa haha :)

@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:43
@kayak175 yes, a few, but he is a grumpy terrier so we can’t really let him loose in one. :) let’s just say he is a case for Cesar Milan…
@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:42
@smurfatik that is probably true! I teach in front of students 18h a week.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:34
@caymsortweeted no, they don’t :) I might tell my older students.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:31
Frying pancakes. The kitchen now looks like the battle of Lützen… there is a dense fog. Dense? Is it spelled that way?
@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:02
@stielli thank you dearest! Doing my best :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 19:01

@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:59
@PV_Roger true :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:59
@CroatianGirlEv @truckerlez it is changed, in some twitter clients on mobile phones it takes a little longer to see the new picture :(
@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:58
@FizaIsa cool! Do you remember the title? :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:56
@crunchyfrogg of course, on the other hand I have been asked to tweet as me, and as I normally would. I am sorry that I offended you.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:54
… Than they really are. I tweet during breaks and between lessons. And when I am off work. :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:53
Of course I respect my students and colleagues! My tweeting today has not interfered with my teaching. In 140 signs things sounds harsher..
@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:50
@chickitweet we are in the process of changing curriculum. We also look up to Finland, and Scotland. We need to improve in many ways. :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:48
@crunchyfrogg oh yes I do, this is my first day as Sweden and I have been very exited about it. But I can assure you no one has been harmed.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 18:46

@Sweden January 23, 2012 12:28
@minitio10 fish stew :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 12:27
@Silsba no :) at about 12 is standard, but the school lunch room won’t fit us all, so we have it between 10.30-13.30 depending on year group
@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:44
Lunchtime! Lunch is free to teachers when we eat with students monitoring the lunchroom. http://t.co/YBOZkqFk
@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:27

@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:18
@Rav_Bunneh haha! Good choice then!
@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:17
@Airbles thank you! Coffee is the drink of life :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:14
@harodani absolutely!
@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:14
@Rav_Bunneh yes, the week we run @sweden we tweet in Swedish, would be difficult for rest of the world to understand us otherwise :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:09
@harodani founded by the state, and and no fee is charged. Same curriculum. But run as a company, allowed to make profit.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:07
@Emitime swedes do drink a lot of coffee…
@Sweden January 23, 2012 11:03
a Friskola is a school run by a company rather than by the state or the council. It is getting more common in Sweden . @harodani
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:56
@abbybarker haha! Yes, she is my colleague! Talked to her this morning! How fun!!
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:52
@abbybarker is she called Roxanne by any choice? :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:51
. @maggansimm I work in a Friskola, so we have our own library. And all schools are required to have a library according to the new law.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:49
@watermusician I know! I Don’t think I am the one fixing that. But I’ll ask!
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:48
A soon as the librarian gets back, I’ll sneak out for coffee. I drink a lot of coffee…
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:46
@abbybarker haha, yep. That actually says a lot about me :)
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:45
I teach mainly Swedish to 12-13 year olds, but also math and social science to the same year group. @Britt_W
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:43
Well… I do have a class here as well, quietly reading.
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:42
Thanks for your welcomes! I am a teacher and right now I am supposed to be doing that. But I am hiding with my phone in the library…
@Sweden January 23, 2012 10:34
So, finally I am here! Hectic morning getting my own kids to school, and now I am teaching myself.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:59

@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:47
So, this is goodbye. <3
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:44
<3 RT @Airbles: I hope the #uppsala tourist board is preparing itself for the influx of tourists inspired to visit because of @sweden :D
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:43
All marriage proposals will be considered, please send them => @truckerlez, will you? ;)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:40
I hope that many of you will visit Sweden, and #uppsala. I’ll be here. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:39
It’s been quite the opposite really. I hope you all know that you’ve given me the most remarkable week, and I’m truly greatful.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:36
Several times during this week, I’ve been asked ‘How much hate have you encountered while tweeting as @sweden?’. I can honestly say ‘none’.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:22
@cfrnka I’ll certainly keep that in mind.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:12
@Sweden January 22, 2012 21:01

@uppsalauni @UU_University I’m glad! I love Uppsala and the uni, and if you get more foreign students, no one’s happier than me.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:52
@KarinLnn None whatsoever. Embarrassing.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:45
Remember: if you ever visit #uppsala, make sure you tweet me at @truckerlez. If I’m not working, coffee is on the agenda.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:42
@sebastianruholl Thanks! I wasn’t prepared for that at all, I’m just glad I didn’t freeze up completely.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:41
@ohnokate Haha, wow! *blush*
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:40
@FizaIsa Annoying. :(
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:40
@thewaybyelle How much of it did you understand?
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:39
@Cantaton Thanks!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:38
@MattsJosefsson Thank you! I just watched it, and I didn’t say anything stupid at least. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:25
http://t.co/4IpuE7Wu It’s in Swedish, but you can see me look really nervous on Swedish television. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:09
@Emmaleigh504 Thank you, I’m glad you like them!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 18:07
@Katie12942 That’s me, unfair. ;) @caulkthewagon

What this is? It’s @margitrichert ‘s famous bacon fudge of course. http://t.co/DjfIJSaG
@Sweden January 22, 2012 16:25
(But no, only coffee for now.)

@sinistermotive I never smile in photos, it makes me look totally deranged. True story.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 15:29
@ratsass Haha, I don’t think I would be able to fit all 25k in my place. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 15:20
@inlivingcover For real? I think it’s great!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 14:52
The fact that so many of you have expressed a wish to visit #uppsala after my pictures makes me so damn happy. I hope you will!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 14:44
@David_Kunz It’s @truckerlez.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 14:42
I just realized that I haven’t seen ‘But I’m a Cheerleader’ in ages. That’s what I’m going to do tonight, when I’ve handed over this account
@Sweden January 22, 2012 14:32
Ok, we obviously can’t say that we have snow in Uppsala … RT @GabrielssonLM: @sweden Another part of Sweden! http://t.co/c0qvvcYw
@Sweden January 22, 2012 13:54
Yay, it’s snowing again! Not much, but still.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 13:53
@varldsmastaren Yup!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 13:50
@varldsmastaren Exactly like it looks really. They called me ‘Fage’. :(
@Sweden January 22, 2012 13:34
@AntonHur Thank you!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 12:29
Having a fika with @margitrichert. http://t.co/XfXf2XD3
@Sweden January 22, 2012 12:16
@smamat Not in that particular spot I think, but further upstream it does.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 12:14
@britstakston Thanks, then I know! :) (And thank you!)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 12:08
@DorisochRita Even with glasses? ;)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 12:07
@Sweden January 22, 2012 12:01
@embilbie Thank you! I kind of like it too. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 12:00
Snow! (At least some.) http://t.co/KYqlSGnN
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:53
@britstakston I’m just curious: did you mean that I was chosen to be @sweden only because I’m a lesbian, or did it just come out that way?
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:47
@Vacartu Seems like I will fit in really well in Canada then! :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:38
@pugillaria Haha, that’s true. Ok, compared to how much I usually wear? Loads (and loads).
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:25
@hinemoana :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:24
<= silly person. http://t.co/TeiIOSj2
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:24
Who – except for a silly person – would wear glasses if not by necessity?
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:21
@FizaIsa I just did! What do you want from me, a boob flash? :D
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:20
This is me, with loads of make up on. It’ll probably be the first and last time you’ll se me like this, so enjoy. ;) http://t.co/olre4QF9
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:11
@FizaIsa Did that make any sense at all?
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:11
@FizaIsa Oh, yes, that question … I guess that it would be more like ‘fungeh’, with the ‘ng’- part pronounced like ‘angst’.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:08
I don’t think I have ever worn this much make up. I look a bit more glamorous than usually (and when I say ‘a bit’, I mean … you know.).
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:05
@ls1938 Thank you!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:04
@FizaIsa Is wasn’t only mispronounced, but misspelt as well.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:03
@ollesvensk Is THAT the reason I’m leaving this account today? @ZealotZebra
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:02
@ShaggySollux … but I surely hope you’ll still be following @sweden. I know I will!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 11:01
@ShaggySollux This is my last day at this account, and tomorrow morning the next Swede will start tweeting. You’ll find me at @truckerlez.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 10:59
@Gaby_Chamorro I’m not the one paying. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 10:32
I think I did ok, even though I was a bit annoyed with my name being severely mispronounced.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:53
Coffee, finally.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:48
@easegill You shouldn’t give up the feed, tomorrow there will be a new Swede.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:46
@JosephMagnuson I’m only a size 5,5 (UK sizes). :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:27
@mondproject That would only make me giggle like a crazy person. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:27
@ColleenMcM Naaw! <3
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:26
@JosephMagnuson Today’s my last day, so tomorrow there will be a new Swede. Exciting!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:24
@MrsChristensen Thank you, I’ll try not to make a complete fool of myself (but I can’t promise anything).
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:23
Now I’m at tv4, nervous like nothing before. Not even being interviewed in English made me this nervous. I need coffee.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:12
@landbeyond 851
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:08
@landbeyond I’m not paying. ;)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:08
@milesdigby I’m sorry, I don’t have the slightest idea. It’s not really my area of expertise. :(
@Sweden January 22, 2012 08:06
@MrsChristensen Are you kidding me? I’m so nervous I could cry.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 07:57
@hinemoana I will, but as @truckerlez. I’m do glad you’ve enjoyed this, and I hope you’ll enjoy the next one as well!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 07:54
@milesdigby Yup, that’s how we do it here. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 07:43
(And obviously I can’t spell.)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 07:42
I’m sitting I’m a taxi on my way to Stockholm, discussing traffic (of course).
@Sweden January 22, 2012 07:19
Ok, so it’s either house elves, or those who follow this account, that leaves dirty dishes and clothes in the floor? Ooops.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:57
How come my place always seem messier when I’ve been away for a while? I think someone sneaks in while I’m away, just to make a mess.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:55
@AntonHur … or love. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:55
@AntonHur It’s wonderful. I actually heard the soundtrack before I saw the movie, and fell in live, instantly.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:54
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:53
@livlab Wonderful! I’ve been doing it since I got up, and I can’t seem to stop. @apousson
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:34
@bitterindigo I’ll have to record it! :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:33
@Margothsdotter Only a few cm, it will probably be one before you arrive. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:31
@pink_lola I think it was even before that. Nothing brings people together like a snow storm. :) I was snowed in on a train in ’98. Cosy!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:28
@vampSaam That sounds lovely, although some part of me (the one that doesn’t hate snow) is happy to have at least one day that looks wintery
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:26
@bitterindigo Yes, but not as pretty as it waaaaas. :’(
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:24
@ZealotZebra Good point! (But hey, I don’t even like snow, and she lives further away from everything, and … No, I’m staying here.)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:23
@vampSaam It’s 5.22 am, and it will probably be like this until 7-7.30.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:22
@pink_lola It’s windy though? ;) I remember one winter there, with 30 cm of snow, melting … That was nasty.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:18
@ZealotZebra I’ll tell her that! Wait, do you mean I should move in with her, or the opposite?
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:17
I wanted to show you how pretty it looks here when the snow has fallen, but didn’t have time before coming to my place.
@Sweden January 22, 2012 06:15
It’s much less snow at my place than at my gf’s. :( http://t.co/POCpjMOv
@Sweden January 22, 2012 05:45
It’s been such a long time since I saw snow. I feel a bit like Jack Skellington when he first comes to Christmas Town. ‘What’s this?’
@Sweden January 22, 2012 05:39
@undergroundfox It sure does! I’m not particularly fond of snow, but it sure is pretty (as long as it’s new).
@Sweden January 22, 2012 05:32
@wzhkevin As soon as I get outside. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 05:29
@Guigui_seducao They won’t change the avatar until I hand over the account to the next curator I presume? I’m not through yet! :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 05:27
@ArohaG Oh, she’s a beauty!
@Sweden January 22, 2012 05:25
@Guigui_seducao Why?
@Sweden January 22, 2012 05:25
@zoranz15 Was it only 6hrs? I’m not sleepy, so I guess that was enough. :)
@Sweden January 22, 2012 05:16
Good morning! It has been snowing in Uppsala during the night.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 22:42
@franosch Naaaw! *blush* That’s … That’s just plain wrong (but sweet)! :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 22:41
I’m off to bed, since I’m supposed to get up early tomorrow. Good night!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 22:40
@klondyke69 That’s so sweet of you, saying that! I hope I’ll see you on my other account?
@Sweden January 21, 2012 22:32
@hemasail I think it’s better to see it as a tribute to an excellent idea! @WeAreAustralia
@Sweden January 21, 2012 22:31
@The_Irish_One Firstly: where are you going? Stockholm? Looked here? http://t.co/DuYosUdo
@Sweden January 21, 2012 22:17
@DAWeeE1 Haha, I know, but the meatballs are awesome, really.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 22:16
@AlexRileyFan Why’s that so wrong? I’m kinda nice to hang out with. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 21:35
@MajorBedhead We have almost no snow at all, which is somewhat disappointing (although I hate the stuff).
@Sweden January 21, 2012 21:34
@AndersFinn It’s beautiful. I seldom go there, but I should.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 21:33
@helenmt Then you’ll have to come back! :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 21:32
@PANOABURRIRME I think it was about -9 ℃, not that bad.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 21:31
@Count_Stuff So am I, I’m so looking forward to know more about someone else’s Sweden!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 21:30
@chybee Yes, I’m aware of that, that’s why I need to bring a whole lot from home when I’m working. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 21:12
Then, the burial mounds in Gamla Uppsala (gamla means old in Swedish). http://t.co/Lje17POD
@Sweden January 21, 2012 21:09
Oh, I forgot! I’ve got a few more pics from #uppsala. Firstly, the mosque. http://t.co/kN2aCcx6
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:48
(If you want to keep following me after Sunday night, I’ll be @truckerlez.)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:46
@GeekySwede Yup, it seems that way. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:46
Tomorrow is my last day as @sweden, and I already miss you. Make sure you follow this account, more Swedes to come!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:44
This is going to be an early evening, since I’m supposed to be in Stockholm early tomorrow morning (hey Swedes, Nyhetsmorgon at 8.15).
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:37
@GeekySwede Thanks!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:35
About snus: somehow I can’t link to the Wikipedia article about it, but it’s there!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:30
@etellurian Any particular brands that I may know about (or SHOULD know about)?
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:26
@noKTdidnt Of course I did, in a place called Lingon. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:24
Oh, I’m such a stereotype. Meatballs, snus and local beer (Slottskällan).
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:22
@savoryexposure I’m glad you did!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:21
@AhmNoHere They’re from a local brewery called Slottskällan.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 20:18
I’m doing this just for you, I hope you know that. Otherwise I would never ever drink beer. Nope, never. Ever. http://t.co/f531UwVu
@Sweden January 21, 2012 19:47
I love the fact that you’re still discussing ‘fika’. <3
@Sweden January 21, 2012 19:46
@Pigpen2973 Of course, I was just pointing out that it’s the real deal. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 19:45
@blue_ellile It’s been in DN, and P2, P3, and Vaken med P3&P4 have made interviews with me. Nyhetsmorgon in TV4 tomorrow! :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 19:43
@Sctt_ That’s so sweet!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 19:43
@ladyhank959 I’m counting on it!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 19:16
Swedish meatballs and beer, that’s my Saturday night (and I’m doing it all for you! :P).
@Sweden January 21, 2012 19:15
If you ever come to #uppsala, make sure you visit the beautiful restaurant Lingon. Their meatballs … They’re heaven. http://t.co/6FkqIKit
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:47
@davidbrax I’m not proud of being gay (since I’m born that way), but I’m proud of the fact that I am open and honest about it.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:40
Despite its flaws, it’s pretty awesome.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:39
You know what I am proud of though? I’m proud of the fact that I may have gotten some of you to want to visit Sweden. I think you should!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:38
You may remember the other day when I wrote that I’m not a ‘proud Swede’, since I didn’t have anything to do with being born here?
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:22
It will make your skin crawl the first time you hear it live, if you’re not prepared. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:21
Flogstavrålet is the scream of angst that rises from this area (where loads and loads of students live) at 10 pm.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:19
Some of you have studied in #uppsala, and I hope many of you will. Many of you will then live in Flogsta, and hear this live.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:18
http://t.co/OVHbP3HJ <= Flogstavrålet
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:17
The fantastic @Livsnaturist did me a great favor yesterday. He went out and caught Flogstavrålet on video.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:15
I’m so glad so many of you appreciated the tour of #uppsala!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 17:09
This is really important. Please sign!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:50
Since my SIM seems to be pissing my iPhone off (or the other way around), I won’t be here until I get home. You’ll miss me (ok, not YOU).
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:47
@rojertb I’m not hard to find, with a surname that I share with only 17 others in Sweden.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:35
@lisofthenorth It’s 40 mins by train from Stockholm, so it’s possible to get here without having to stay. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:33
@Donny_Depp I like that you answer the questions I forget to! <3 @Bluefoot
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:32
@lisofthenorth Stockholm’s really nice and beautiful, even in (snowless) winter. Have a nice trip!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:31
@denbl That’s insane, in a fantastic way! You Dutch sure love your bikes, even more than ppl from Uppsala!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:29
@lisofthenorth Oh, where are you going? And yes, ‘fika’ it most useful. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:27
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:26
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:26
@dompom11 Nope, I won’t!

@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:16

@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:11
This has been great, you’ve made me see #uppsala with different eyes. Thank you!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:09
Could maybe one of you other Swedes explain ‘fika’? Is only a cup of coffee still fika to you?
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:05
@uaberu I was, mostly. There is no point walking the streets of Uppsala at 8am a Saturday. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 11:02
And remember: theme song for today is http://t.co/4NWk5I8C
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:59
@Livsnaturist Oh no, I’m not cool enough to meet at STUK, a k a STBS (Stora torget balla sidan).
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:58
Some of you have asked if we ride our bikes even during winter. This isn’t even winter! :) And yes, we do.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:57
Wonderful, thanks! RT @allanmuten: @sweden You’re welcome to graze a few more images of this amazingly photogenic town https://t.co/tMPA8xZ4
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:56
You know what? I’m over my daily photo limit according to Twitter. I guess I’ll have to wait till tmrw with the rest.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:52
If you’re ever meeting me for coffee or beer in #uppsala, this is probably the place where we’ll be meeting. http://t.co/pgDGjoI5
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:51
This facade is stirring up emotions. Some of us find it beautiful, most people think its uuu-gly. #uppsala http://t.co/cUGUAipT
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:49
Another place to go in #uppsala, if you’d like to have a traditional Swedish fika with little old ladies. <3 http://t.co/S6a4EtZt

I don’t know about you, but that looks like plenty, no? #uppsala http://t.co/ibKakEZL

According to sketches, he wanted the penis of Näcken to be of even greater size, but wasn’t allowed to. #uppsala
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:45
This is called ‘Näckens polska’, and was made by the local artist Bror Hjort. #uppsala http://t.co/qW4ddRVQ
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:41
We do love our bikes. This is outside the train station, in #Uppsala http://t.co/QwWopK5l
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:41
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:40
Sorry for filling the whole feed btw. But, I warned you there was a tour of #uppsala coming! :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:39
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:38
The castle once more. #uppsala http://t.co/hb4UbX82
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:37
… is this. If you’re in #uppsala during the summer, make sure to stop here for a fika. http://t.co/iHqOnbNK
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:36
Opposite this …
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:35
here’s a pic to prove it. Look in the top left corner! Stupid SIM, stupid iPhone. *sulks over another cup of coffee* @avenuemoo
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:32
Still the castle (when I get my feet warm and my SIM working, you’ll get the front too). #uppsala http://t.co/9V9eVDj7
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:30
Not a very good pic of the castle. #uppsala http://t.co/saJnxDq1
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:29
Old movie theater, now a culture house for young people. When I was 15, I saw Entombed there. #uppsala http://t.co/HSumRdyT
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:24
So, I had to retreat (with toes like ice cubes) to a place with coffee and wifi. (Yes, I take milk in my coffee.) http://t.co/xTSsKGqp
@Sweden January 21, 2012 10:21
This is the most annoying thing that has happened all week. I want to take you in a tour round Uppsala, and my SIM-card tells me to FO.

Domkyrkan, a beautiful church. Although not a Christian myself, I can still appreciate beauty. :) #Uppsala http://t.co/g3N52Sk0
@Sweden January 21, 2012 09:20
In the front, Gustavianum. It’s been a lecture hall for autopsies and such, now a museum. Domkyrkan behind it. #uppsala http://t.co/8wg5s6kG

Ok folks, comfy shoes on? Extra sweater? It’s -8 ℃, so you’d better wear it. Let’s go! #Uppsala

@Sweden January 21, 2012 08:13
@kimmjah Glad to hear it! :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 08:13
@FizaIsa That’s average at this time of year, it’s been unnaturally warm for such a long time.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 08:11
@matsnystrom You know me by now. I gave fjällan a ride to work, just to get an extra 30mins with her. :)

@franosch That’s not fair.

@Livsnaturist That’s so sweet of you!
@Sweden January 21, 2012 07:39

@thegulster This is what I looked like at 5, when I was driving my gf to work (yes, she took the pic). http://t.co/3qlCIqLI
@Sweden January 21, 2012 07:35
@GeekySwede I’m home in Uppsala. I was just being a loving gf, and gave my loved one a ride to work (hence the going up at 4).
@Sweden January 21, 2012 07:32
It’s 6.30am, and I’ve been up since 4. It’s -9 ℃, and beautiful outside. I love this town!

@kennishah Thank you do much! I’m glad that what I said made at least some sense. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:56
@LanceCB I’d say ‘truckflata’. That is of course more used as a description of a butch lesbian than an actual description of a lez driver.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:46

@PerseusBlakeney I guess so. I just remembered: one of my colleagues told me that ‘it’s wrong and disgusting’, and compared homosexuality >>
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:18
@daniluvsuall That’s nice to hear! Any particular things about Sweden that are appealing, or just generally?
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:15
@castlemead I really like it too. It tastes good (especially if you drink coffee or beer), and it gives you smth to do while driving.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:11
@peter_truck Yes, mostly anyway. ‘truck’ should be ‘lastbil’, as in ‘Jag älskar kanadensiska lastbilstidskrifter’. :)
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:09
@castlemead I actually started just a year ago. To me it’s more of a hobby than an addiction, I sometimes skip a day w/o problems.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:06
@jyrgomatic It’s fantastic. I usually listen to it real loud in headphones, and getting annoyed when people around me doesn’t keep pace.

@daniluvsuall Apart from Sweden? I’m from Uppsala, the beautiful university town.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:01
@PerseusBlakeney >> worse for gay men.
@Sweden January 21, 2012 01:01
@PerseusBlakeney I may be lucky, but I haven’t really met any homophobia here in Sweden, people seem cool about it. I think it is much >>
@Sweden January 21, 2012 00:59
@gikkt Haha, thanks! Either I did better than I thought (haven’t dared listening to it yet), or they did a fantastic job cutting it.

@Sweden January 20, 2012 23:53
@drewgjackson There, first lesson in Swedish! :P
@Sweden January 20, 2012 23:52
@drewgjackson Do it! Do you know that ‘sopa’ in Swedish is both ‘to sweep’, and ‘trash’? It’s something people yell, like ‘you suck!’.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 23:34
@oldschooldsl One day I got a DM from one of my followers with the question. If I had known what I know now, I probably wouldn’t have dared.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 23:32
@europabridge1 Maybe it’s just me being a snob, I don’t know. I plan to see the movies anyway. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 23:31
@europabridge1 I haven’t seen either that or the Swedish version I’m afraid. I’ve listened to the audio books, and wasn’t all that impressed
@Sweden January 20, 2012 23:29

@Sweden January 20, 2012 13:46
I feel very fortunate to be Swedish, but proud? No, not really. I’m very happy to have had the chance to grow up here.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 13:45
I’m not proud to be Swedish, since I didn’t have anything to do with the fact that I was born here.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 13:44
A guy once told me that I was ‘anti Sweden’, since I refused to call myself ‘a proud Swede’ (a term mostly used by racists here).
@Sweden January 20, 2012 13:40
@Agent_Viper I know I saw it as a child, but I don’t have a distinct memory of it.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 13:38
@ishrixio I guess Lars Winnerbäck would suit you (not my fav, but he’s popular), maybe Melissa Horn (don’t like her at all, but many do)?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 13:34
@CatherineDunn8 No, not a single one so far. :( (This account maybe follows the wrong people? :P)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 13:22
@MattBarbet I’m enjoying this immensely! I just like to get people to see that Sweden is more than Ikea, Abba and tall blondes. :)

@Sweden January 20, 2012 12:25
@WaitiriCreek Oh, I wasn’t complaining, I love talking to little old ladies. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 12:23
@GeneralKaty I’m so glad to hear that! Sweden IS beautiful, so just come will ya’?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 12:22
@harrietvde Whyyyy? Harriet is a beautiful name, and the bull terrier is a magnificent dog! If anything, you should be proud. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:45
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:44
@DrTeresaCairns Spot on! I like to talk to them, they always seem so happy to strike up a conversation with someone who is willing to stay.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:42
@sonicthebadger I know, and since I’m not even allowed to have a fog with me at work, it’s going to have to wait indefinitely.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:41
I’m a MAGNET for little old ladies.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:40
I just went out to my car to fetch some things, and as always, I got stuck outside the door, talking to a little old lady about the weather.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:37
@ElizaVignette Haha, sorry! They’re @lastbilslesbian (Swe) and @truckerlez (Eng). Both names reeeeal obvious. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:25
@DanielleWarby It’s nice to see that I’m not the only one with a dirty mind. :) @xmoraix
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:20
I know that several other drivers bring their dogs, but since I don’t have my own truck, I wouldn’t be allowed to if I had one. :’(
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:19
The problem is just that with my work, it’s impossible (‘Hi Börje, I’m off to work for 4 days. There’s money for food on the counter.’).
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:16
@MashOnEarth Sunny? How’s that fair, huh? *running away, sobbing*
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:15
You know what I really really want? I want to have an English bull terrier. I’ve even thought of names (Harriet or Börje). *sigh*
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:13
@xmoraix So, it was just me then. :) Thank you, you too!
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:10
@xmoraix I just thought that you meant cat = pussy. Maybe it’s just me, having a dirty mind?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:08
… and that should have been ‘acts’. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:07
<= sometimes acs like a hyperactive child on a sugar rush, tweeting like mad.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:05
This week (it’s not over, no cheering yet!) has been absolutely fantastic. I’ve enjoyed this immensely, as you may have figured out already.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:03
@xmoraix I think my gf would mind, since they belong to her. Oh waaaait, was that a lesbian joke? I’m a bit on the slow side obviously.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 11:01
#ff @WeAreAustralia and @PeopleofLeeds. It’s so nice to see that others follow our example! <3 Any more of you out there?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 10:59
@ElizaVignette I’ve actually got two, one in Swedish and one in English. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 10:57
@cmbsweden So did I! Maybe I should add that they rarely glance at it. In the 3,5 yrs I’ve been doing this, I’ve been checked 2tms @maryk77
@Sweden January 20, 2012 10:54
Today the weather seems awfully grey, which is too bad. I would love to show you Uppsala when it’s at its finest. Hopefully tomorrow.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 10:47
I don’t want to disturb them, that’s all. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 10:47
I really should get out of bed now (I’ve slept for ages!), but since I’ve got one cat resting on my back, and the other one on my legs …
@Sweden January 20, 2012 10:37
@maryk77 Not stupid at all! Within the EU I shouldn’t have to, but I still need smth to show that I’m a Swe citizen, so I always carry it.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 05:25
@sushobhan I hope you’ll be back Monday morning? New curator, different topics. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 02:07
This is rather marvelous.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:53
Oh. I’m still in my car, and it’s freezing outside. Maybe I should call it a night, and go to bed instead of freezing my poor behind off?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:48
@missy__m Oh my. That’s the coolest thing!
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:42
@heatherwgaona Haha, true!
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:42
@LEAFS_SUCK_ASS I just might take you up on that! :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:40
@mbraithwaite Plain cowardice and laziness I suppose. :/
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:39
@loyise That’s … that’s a bit strange really. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:38
When I went to Boston some years ago, I saw RHPS (somewhere around Harvard Square maybe?), with actors n’ all. Heaven!
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:35
@ettlitettricks … or perhaps Rocky Horror Picture Show. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:34
That’s oh so true. RT @SmudgeThomas: @sweden Everybody gets a bit of a crush on Tim Curry when he gets out that elevator
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:34
There are so many of you from Canada. It’s almost as you know about my (not so) secret dream about going there.
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:30
Right now I realized that I haven’t watched RHPS in ages. That’s just plain wrong (and yes, I have somewhat of a crush on Tim Curry).
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:28
@MontagsOnFire @franosch ‘God, in the voice of James Mason’. Have I been watching too much Eddie Izzard?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 01:19
@Sweden January 20, 2012 00:16
<= busted RT @thisisiceland: Halló @sweden. I am glad you are on the Twitter finally, but why are you pretending to be a human?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 00:14
Now I need to get going. See you in an hour. Uppsala, here I come! :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 00:06
@gavinmarshallne I’m so glad to hear that! What did you do?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 00:04
@franosch I did? Oh my, I’ve been drunk again?
@Sweden January 20, 2012 00:03
@harodani I don’t even have to sneak! I was planning on showing Orvars. :)
@Sweden January 20, 2012 00:01
Wow. I just took a peek at the amount of followers of my new account. You people are mad (in the best sense there is).
@Sweden January 20, 2012 00:00
@Dolphinized Have you had lunch there in the summer? It’s really good! Btw, coffee some day?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:51
@livlab Maybe not … But then again, I just want to make them feel seen and loved!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:50
@gfrancie Haha, ‘stray penises’!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:49
@Dolphinized So, any particular sights you think I should show the rest of the world, you being an Uppsala student and all?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:48
Fantastic idea! :) RT @persephone419: @sweden Next time hold up a score card. “Sweden’s Next Penis Model”
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:46
@Dolphinized I don’t know about the actual penis, but the owner at least looked embarrassed.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:46
I don’t know if it’s just in Europe, or the same world wide. Probably the latter.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:44
@WilsonWTeng No, not right here, although I think it has been snowing here today.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:44
Today I honked my horn, smiled and waved. He looked a bit embarrassed.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:43
Today I saw another penis (the fifth since Monday). Drivers just can’t be bothered walking 20 meters to the toilet.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:40
Those of you have followed me since Monday know the theme by now: waiting. Now there’s a bridge that’s open.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:39
@DrewSilverman I am so amazed by this!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:36
@krismet Oh, for how long? What is she doing there?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:35
@thewaybyelle Oh yeah!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:34
@d_o_p Sorry, not at this moment. It was a long time since I was there.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:33
@MaxWyattSampson I am? How am I ever going to be able to let go of this account? :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 23:32
@dosespressos Good! Comfy shoes, a bottle of water and a smile required!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 20:49
http://t.co/i7PivceT <= me being interviewed about you. (same as earlier)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 20:47
Coffee break. Only 2 hrs to go (and another to Uppsala). Yay!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 18:12
With you as company, time flies. Remember, a tour of Uppsala this weekend. Make sure to bring your comfy shoes!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 18:10
@chrischasescars If you’re going to Uppsala, ping me at @truckerlez!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 18:08
@bitterindigo I’ve only been away since Monday. Before that I was home for 24hrs after 4days on the road. When I get back, I’ll be off >thu.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 18:06
@chrischasescars >> Uppsala of course. Strängnäs is also cute. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 18:05
@chrischasescars I’m afraid it is. Stockholm is really beautiful, and from there you could go to Sigtuna (adorable little town!), and >>
@Sweden January 19, 2012 18:02
@evawb … but a German. ;)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 17:59
@chrischasescars Wow, nice! I’m sure that will be appreciated! Where are you going?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 17:56
Now I just really want to be home.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 17:53
@chrischasescars I guess? I haven’t really thought of my English as ‘good’, more like ‘somewhat understandable’. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 17:49
@chrischasescars Thank you! I’m glad, it’s my favorite place in the world. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 17:47
@glynes Thanks (although I haven’t heard it myself)!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 17:42
@travelingtamm Thank you! I haven’t dared listening to it yet. Maybe next week. Or year …
@Sweden January 19, 2012 17:39
@EdenLilies Oh, thanks a bunch! I didn’t dare to listen to it myself, I was too afraid that I was coming out as the Swedish Chef. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 17:25
To those of you who always have wondered what a Swenglish speaking lesbian sounds like: link in next RT!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 14:56
@P3Nyhetsguiden Cool! Thanks a lot for having me!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 14:46
Did I just say ‘everybody knows that all female truckers are lesbians’ on national radio? I hope people know that is was a joke, mostly.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 14:38
@P3Nyhetsguiden No, @charmkvark! :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 14:36
@Sweden January 19, 2012 14:24
For those of you who find me boring: just imagine what my friends have to go through, every single day. Get some perspective folks!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 14:20
If you’ve ever wanted to hear what a rambling Swenglish speaking lesbian sounds like, I’ll post a link to the interview as soon as I get it.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 14:17
@KentEklund Meaning … ?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 14:16
@Ardeyargull I actually think it does, but I haven’t been there in ages. I’ll have to ask around. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 12:22
This weekend I’ll be taking you on a tour round Uppsala. No more trucks after Friday morning, ok?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 12:20
(And no, I can’t spell.)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 12:19
Today I’m going to listen to old podcasts of This American Life (I may have a slight crush on Ira Glass). Absolutely love the program.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 12:13
4 mins left, then I’m off. Finally!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:42
@Livsnaturist This weekend maybe?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:38
@livdragon I should, shouldn’t I? I’ll ask my boss if that’s ok. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:29
… and this dirty lady is in need of a wash. http://t.co/5rdcJTTh
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:26

@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:17
@michael_1969 In Sweden it is, but I’m not doing that. If you’ve read the tweets before this, you’ll see that I’m stuck I Denmark an hour.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:12
Right now I’m in Denmark, and will be going to Helsingborg from Helsingør, and then take the E4 to Södertälje.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:09
@2FBS Yup, I do. I never drive the same truck two days in a row, they’re on the road 24/7.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:07
@2FBS No, we have the tach to keep track of us.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:05
I thiiiiink … that my truck is here now, A truck most certainly is (and hopefully it’s mine). Today I’m heading back to Sweden BTW.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:03
@doneoveroff Haha, something like that.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:02
For those who have been with me since Monday: you all know that I’m going to miss the boat with mere seconds, right?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 11:01
My truck’ll be here soon, but since I haven’t had 9hrs rest yet, I just have to wait until I’ve had.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 10:59
http://t.co/WPCUcgDD <= the amazing Christian Kjellvander. Perfect to listen to while driving.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:51
It’s almost 4am, and I need to sleep. Puss och kram, as we say in Swedish.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:45
@oldschooldsl I’m not the right person to be asked this, since I know extremely little about it. Sorry.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:44
@jarrettmoffatt Really? That may be true. I have trouble sleeping during the day, even in a completely dark room. I DO sleep though!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:42
This does not in any way mean that I want you to unfollow this account. It’s the coolest thing ever, and I’m curious what will come next.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:39
@SvanteTidholm I guess I just need to double the effort. I’ll keep the old one (and use it!), and use the new one too.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:37
@tracicharles >> to continue one. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:36
@tracicharles I think most of us are friendly, but shy. I’m not likely to strike up a conversation with a stranger, but more than willing >>
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:35
Ok, it’s a silly name, but it was all I could come up with: for those of you who might want to follow me after this week: @truckerlez
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:15
@jarrettmoffatt Right now, or ever? :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 04:09
It’s been too dark for me to be able to get a decent pic of the truck, so here’s an old one (pic, not truck): http://t.co/epawIIav
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:55
@justinkoornneef What? Noooo, I’ve only said that the traffic is worse there, than in Zwolle!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:53
I told her: Australia, NZ, South Africa, Canada, India, the US, Indonesia … She was really taken aback. ‘They follow SWEDEN?’
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:52
Today my local newspaper called me, and one of the things they asked me, was where you all are from.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:50
@tamaramanning I will! @bitterindigo
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:49
@franosch That’s a great idea. Would you let me have a go at it sometime? ;)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:40
@lantaumama I enjoy them both, and I’ve tweeted exactly the same here, as I would have in Swedish.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:38
@ribblefizz Neither does mine I’m afraid. I understand quite a lot of German, but forming sentences on my own? Naaah.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:36
@punkelikat Nope, not in my Swedish account I don’t. :) ( @lastbilslesbian)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:35
@AntZoo @KarelBrits My Swedish account is @lastbilslesbian.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:34
@itsmotherswork Haha, love it!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:33
I’ve decided to set up another account (in English), for those of you who are too lazy to learn Swedish. :) I’ll keep you posted.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:31
@ribblefizz There are about 9? 10? already. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:30
@lantaumama Oh, but I have! It’s just that my ‘real’ account is in Swedish, and since you’re all too lazy to learn it … :P
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:29
@WomenTruckers Hi there! I’ll make sure to follow your account with my other one!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:28
@MissTovah Truck parts. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:26
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:25
@bitterindigo I’m in Germany right now. I actually just wrote to another person that a dream of mine is to go to Canada. :)
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:23
@Peter_Sundberg Since I just missed the boat, I may be running a bit late. I’ll probably be aboard when you call. :) @SRVaken
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:22
@LMvanderWatt I have a dream to go to Canada some day, and drive there for a while. I don’t know why really, but it seems nice there.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:20
Well… maybe? RT @Frits: @sweden Are you sure you didn’t subconsciously miss that boat in order to please your @sweden twitter addiction?
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:18
In case you’re wondering: I’m on my way back to Denmark. Tomorrow I’m heading off home, and then I’ll be @sweden IN Sweden!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:17
@bitterindigo Hahaha!
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:15
… and of course I missed the boat, and will have to wait another 30 mins. That seems to be this weeks topic: waiting.
@Sweden January 19, 2012 00:14
@sanderoosterhof I left Zwolle around 3pm, and before that at least 5 of my colleagues passed in their way there. You missed 10 trucks? :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:32
Oops, break’s over. See you in … I don’t know, 4? 5? hours.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:24
I sure am. A lesbian trucker for a daughter? Poor man. RT @iawt: @sweden #LOVE your dad. You’r really disgraceful to him.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:22
@_EulaliO I think you’re right. But, I am fortunate to live in a country that mostly support us, and that’s a relief.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:20
No, but really. I can do without him, it’s not that he has been the pillar of support in my life, even before that.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:19
@thegeekgirlie Haha, I can’t do anything but laugh about it really. It’s his loss.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:18
@MKaipio I’ve still got three beautiful sisters to harass! :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:17
@AnnBarnes I’m sorry about your loss. It’s sad to think that there are so many of us.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:15
That was today’s sad story. Tomorrow I’ll tell you about my father who hasn’t said a single word to me since I came out as lesbian. :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:14
@thegulster Who doesn’t? :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:13
@Airbles Thank you!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:10
@dcakathecapital I know, a total revelation!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:10
@thegulster I am! @joanntweets
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:08
I know, that if she’d been alive today, she would have been pestering everyone with ‘wow, look at my sister, isn’t she awesome?’. :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:03
@blalkhan Oh, I’m focusing on the ones that have asked to follow me after this! :) @thegulster
@Sweden January 18, 2012 21:01
So, today’s advice: don’t fucking kill yourselves, ’cause that will only make people sad. Ok?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 20:59
@thegulster I’ll hand over the account Sunday night. Maybe I should start a new account, for those 5 ppl who’ll want to keep following me?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 20:57
I don’t pick up the phone to call her anymore, but that stopped just a year ago.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 20:56
She’s been dead for 3yrs now, but there hasn’t been a single day since, that I haven’t thought of her.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 20:54
Listening to German radio always makes me think about one of my sisters. I remember how she used to love music from the 80′s, and Germany.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 16:05
Ha, I was wrong (see, I can admit that). Now I’m off, see you in 4hrs or so.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:53
@Dolphinized That would be plain wrong.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:52
In Denmark they seem to have giant women, with upper lips like mustaches, to wash your truck. Impressive. http://t.co/QOYwDSSn
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:46
@EQvarford Haha, nice! A dyke in a Dutch dyke then? Hopefully that won’t come true.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:42
That’s just awesome. My departure time, according to the schedule, is 3pm, but my trailer won’t be loaded until 5pm.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:39
@Dolphinized Ok. Maybe, just maybe, the topic will come up later this week. I’m not promising anything!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:38
@EQvarford A dyke in a Dutch ditch. :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:29
@pajp Naaah, was it? Strange, why would I tweet about those?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:29
@Dolphinized What? NOOO! There won’t be another chance, ever!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:28
@BeechersBrooks We’ll get back to those. :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:27
@franosch What about boobs?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:27
@ZoranPavlovicLj How could I forget?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:26
@peter_truck I do have another account, but that’s in Swedish. Several others have asked me to start a new one, in English. Maybe I will.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:23
@peter_truck Oh, awesome!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:13
@aptronym No photo, it was too dark. Sorry.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 15:10
A small recap for the new followers: until now I’ve covered 1) coffee, 2) boobs, and 3) Sigourney Weaver’s panties. Welcome!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:52
@dosespressos Once, or maybe twice. :) <3
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:50
@lt_fredrik ‘Undervärdeskomplex’? Det är ju inte ens ett ord? *förvirrad*
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:28
My advise to all of you: if you don’t like the tweeter on the @sweden account one week, unfollow, and come back the next!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:26
I know that politics can be a touchy subject, but I don’t think I’m here because they want me to steer clear of those, on the contrary.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:25
The perfect thing with this account, is if you don’t like the current tweeter, you only have to suffer for a week.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:22
@missorian Oh, I do know that @kwasbeb is bad ass. You don’t like me, and that’s fine and dandy. My advise is still that you unfollow fr now
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:18
@missorian Yes, it was, and we’re chosen because of our differences. It’s not an ad campaign with pretty pictures, it’s our reality.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:11
@missorian But in what way do I need up get over myself? I honestly don’t understand your point. @RxOliver
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:08
Hi all! Don’t worry, I don’t get upset when people call me a whiner. As I have stated before: I’m a bit like the honey badger.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:03
@missorian >> I’m not.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:02
@missorian >> until my week is over, and then see if you like the next one better. I think that’s better than me trying to be smth that >>
@Sweden January 18, 2012 14:01
@missorian So what exactly would the point about the account be, in your opinion? I think it’s a great solution that you unfollow or mute >>
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:59
Now bitchy @sweden is off to bed again. Ta-ta!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:56
@RxOliver Haha, we’re back to that, are we? Don’t worry, not a single tweet I’ve written or read this week, has been while driving. Truly.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:54
Yes, and yes. RT @missorian: Tell me @sweden are you actualy a bunch of whiners as a nation and the only cool person is jack?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:52
@missorian It is really about Sweden, we just all have our own angle. Maybe you should unfollow for now, and return again on Sunday?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:47
@dreydesign There already has been one, and although I haven’t seen the list of the ones to come, I do think there will be more. :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:34
@AcatiaAcer it’s not as if you can’t care about both! I don’t get it, I really don’t. I care for women in ALL countries, incl my own.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:24
@imogenbirley I’d like that!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:17
I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t settle for ‘better than in many other places’. #myownopinion
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:16
That does not mean that it is perfect. Only because smth is better than in other places, you’ve got to stop caring? #myownopinion
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:15
It sometimes happens, when I speak about women’s rights for example, that people say ‘it’s worse in other countries’. And yes, we’re lucky.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:13
And still we have a law that forces people to get sterilized to be able to change their legal gender? Appalling! #myownopinion
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:12
One of the many things I love about Sweden, is that people in general are open minded. We support all sorts of rights, for all kinds of ppl.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:06
@SwedishDownTown I don’t have the slightest idea. It’s confusing, and effed up. #myownopinion
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:03
@Gaby_Chamorro Those stains will stay forever. No, I’ll stick to diesel and motor oil. :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 13:02
@FizaIsa I think you’re right. :(
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:56
@timroylett I have absolutely no idea, I’m as surprised and appalled as everyone else. Madness!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:55
I would also need to listen to Abba, to fit in. Believe me, I’m rather myself than that stereotype.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:54
Imagine being that stereotype I mentioned earlier? Is would be horrible, just think of the stains on your clothes from the pocket meatballs.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:52
In this sort of question I can only speak for myself, but Twitter, rest assured: many of us do not want that law. #myownopinion
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:49
@StuartyPhilpott In what way?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:49
And no, it’s not #myownopinion that they’re only 3% (that’s a fact), but that it is truly horrible (which, in most eyes, also is a fact…).
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:47
As many of you have already pointed out: the party in our government that supports this horrendous law only has about 3%. #myownopinion
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:45
@knowlex Unfortunately yes. To be able to change your legal gender, you first need to be sterilized. Horrific! #myownopinion
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:43
@Airbles You’ve got a point. Where do I find these … people?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:43
@ahamrud Haha, I know! :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:42
@farooqalsaegh I do so too!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:41
Some of us are short, fat and kinda bland, and hoped that forced sterilization would have stayed in the 1940s. #myownopinion
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:39
A typical Swede? A tall, beautiful blonde with meatballs stuffed down her pockets, forcing sterilization upon transgender people?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:37
What I find most amazing about this, is that it gives so many of us the chance to show you the differences in our country.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:35
@zwedenweb Dank u wel!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:33
… and as soon as I close my eyes, and try to get back to sleep, the phone rings. It’s not easy being a celeb. *dramatic sigh*
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:32
@Hannah__ Haha, wow!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:32
@arriabelli This one particular guy has been following me for quite some time, so I guess he thought he could trust me not to be stupid. :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:30
@zwedenweb I’m afraid they won’t have much time doing that this time, since I’m off to bed now, and leaving Zwolle at 3pm. :(
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:16
@LiveShuttle Just excellent thank you! And you?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:15
@arriabelli I just got a question from one of my followers, if I wanted to tweet as Sweden for a week. Simple as that! :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:12
To be extremely clear: that was a nightmare. I’m not in a Dutch ditch, I’m in my bed, safe and sound.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:10
@Didofan1991 Yep, I’m already here, in Zwolle.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:10
Actually, what really made it horrible was the embarrassment of it all. I bit icy, and I decide to go ass down in a ditch? Pffft!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:08
It was icy on the way here, so I dreamt that I crashed into a ditch. I didn’t get hurt, but the truck, oh the truck! :’(
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:07
But really, I should get back to sleep. I’m just finding it hard to relax after my nightmare.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:02
F i n a l l y our wifi is up and running, and so am I.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 12:01
You know what I find truly annoying? It’s when someone says ‘Don’t worry, I’ll tell them as soon as they get here’, and then doesn’t.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 07:21
@klondyke69 <3!
@Sweden January 18, 2012 06:36
@boooothie … and to answer your question: I hand over the account Sunday night. Mute or unfollow until then?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 06:35
I guess that’s a sign for me to go to bed?
@Sweden January 18, 2012 06:34
Oh crap. I was so looking forward to getting to Zwolle, and being able to tweet. No it looks as though the wifi is down.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 06:32
@boooothie Have you considered following more people? If you follow very few, the ones who tweet a lot seem to take over. :)
@Sweden January 18, 2012 03:26
See you in about 3hrs, then I’ll be tweeting from the Netherlands.
@Sweden January 18, 2012 03:26

@Sweden January 17, 2012 16:14
I know, a truck wash might just be the saddest place.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 16:14
That would be awesome, right? Right? Hey you guys, wait up! Why are you running away? Was it something I said?
@Sweden January 17, 2012 16:12
Ok, I’ve gotta go back to sleep now, but if you’re behaving real nice, I might just take you to REAL truck wash.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 16:03
@FizaIsa Good point! :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 16:02
And, to forget E-type for a while (but not for too long, eh?): Christian Kjellvander.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:56
Another trucker lesbian => RT @jjenka: @sweden and for us that listened to both? :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:55
@jjenka You tell me! :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:54
@Mis_Bugg Hey, i STILL listen to Sisters of Mercy!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:53
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:46
@rkaufman Haha, oh yes! It’s actually a quite vast area, in the southern parts of Sweden.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:44
For those of us who dressed in black and listened to Sisters of Mercy? Well, not that much (easy, that is. Not very easy.).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:43
Sometimes I miss the 90′s. Everything was so much simpler then, at least for those who listened to E-type.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:40
@njba Naah, not very often, but a year ago I was interviewed quite a lot, concerning my driving (as being one of Sweden’s top drivers).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:39
>> Eurodisco-king E-type, and the song ‘Set the world on fire’. Now it’s stuck in my brain. Watch it on YouTube and share my pain, yes?
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:38
It’s going to be hard to get to sleep, cause some of you (who obviously can’t be left unsupervised for long) got me thinking of the 90′s >>
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:36
But you guys know me, you know that I’m not. I would never, as some have implied, occupy Denmark. Let’s just call it … a friendly visit?
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:34
How come, that every single time I talk to a journalist, I always ramble on and on, as if I were stark raving mad? #thingsthatmakeyougohmm
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:31
@franksavaglio >> all tied up in my basement right now). @aptronym
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:31
@franksavaglio You guys worry too much. Have you heard _anything_ from Denmark? You see, nothing to worry about (since it’s >> @aptronym
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:26
@simon_brooke Oh, just as our Viking-loving, long haired 90′s Eurodisco-king, E-Type, would say: ‘Set the world on fire!’.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:08
But on the other hand, I leave you guys unsupervised for hours at a time. :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:07
Someone unfollowed because I tweeted too much, and I guess that might be true, at least I’m bursts.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:05
Dear Twitter, would you please look after the world while I’m sleeping? Thanks!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:04
Just like I thought, I’ve been sleeping like a baby. Something just woke me, but give me a couple of minutes, and I’ll go back to sleep.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 15:02
Oh no, I seem to be up. Not for long though, I need to get back to sleep, soon. Or, soon-ish …
@Sweden January 17, 2012 14:41
@Donny_Depp @silencewedge Oh, love it!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 10:04
@Airbles Wow, that really makes me flattered to hear (well, read). I’ll consider it!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 10:03
@skippychalmers Haha, exactly!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 10:02
@greenat15 Yep, the girl in it is of no concern. I only want the Chthulu-tee!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 10:01
@GeekySwede With that handle, who would’ve known? :P
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:59
… and this is the only pic of my gf I dare to post here. :) http://t.co/VYMC0ZDB
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:57
(For those of you who’ve been to Sweden, you know it’s just plain wrong. No ice, no snow, in December? Crazy!)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:54
Just one more picture I wanted to share with you. This was New Years Eve in Sweden (outside Nyköping). http://t.co/ZBl8jdfK
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:52
@soilis Oh no, not when you need to be out in it. It’s awesome to hear it though!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:49
@mexicantunas Yes, and no. :) I see lots of beautiful places, but also loads and loads of ugly ones. I try to focus on the first.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:48
@XOXCandaceXOX It’s a 9hr trip, breaks and boat included. Not too bad. :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:47
Sometimes (ok, most of the time) I miss sleeping in the truck. Just imagine: parked right next to the Autobahn, rain pouring down. Heaven!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:45
I’ll be going to Puttgarden from Rødby, and then just follow the A1 all the way to Ausfahrt 63 (Cloppenburg).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:43
I keep thinking ‘tomorrow’, since I haven’t slept yet, but it is actually later today that I’m leaving for the Netherlands.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:39
… and this is a very tired trucker. http://t.co/pD3raPrT
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:38
This is the foremost thing on my mind right now. http://t.co/NoVFo5pr
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:31
@djpaterson Oh yes, I know that. But, there’s always the chance that all of you unfollow for a week b/c of that boring trucker.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:23
@LoukasX Good morning!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:22
@zootallure Oh, I know that already. But hey, Rotterdam is even worse! :) I usually go by the name @lastbilslesbian.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:21
I never ever would have expected this much feedback on my tweets. Nope, no nay never.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:15
@djpaterson Denmark is just fine, windy as always.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:14
It’s 8.13 am, and I really really need to get some sleep. Soon.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:13
In Sweden the roads were icy, but deserted. In Denmark the roads were just wet, but crowded.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:09
@MoBurkhardt Thanks!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:08
@MoBurkhardt Pleeeeeease? Pretty please with sugar on top?
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:06
I’m totally exhausted. It was a long time since I worked nights, and I think I will be sleeping like a baby soon.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 09:05
… and she’s back!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:51
@franksavaglio The boat’s cheaper, since the truck is continuing to Germany via Rødby.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:49
Bye for now!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:47
2 more hours (or more, if I get stuck in the traffic around Copenhagen) to Vordingborg. Wish me luck (or don’t, it’s your choice)!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:40
Hush, I’m trying to sneak in! RT @aptronym: Invasion!!! RT @sweden: In about 15 minutes I’ll still be @sweden, but in Denmark. :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:37
@GrooPunk Nooo pressure Hanna, no pressure at all!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:36
When I do have company, I usually talk and talk, ’till they’re begging me to stop, or their ears fall off (whichever comes first).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:34
Sometimes I wish that I had someone to talk to while driving.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:32
In about 15 minutes I’ll still be @sweden, but in Denmark. :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:31
@LaLuneDeux What do you consider many? But no, not that many, people still raise their eyebrows when they see me.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:29
@tommlie Been to both, and loved them equally. How come you’re going to Stockholm?
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:21
In case someone wonders how come I’ve barely touched the topic of politics: it will come, just not right now (need to sleep before that).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:18
@csymrl 17 meters, about 40 tons all-in-all, and right now I’ve got axles on (for the Scania factory in Zwolle in the Netherlands).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:16
@tommlie Oh, Scotland! <3 I went to Stirling for a semester ages ago, but I still miss it sometimes. Actually, I miss all of Scotland.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:15
@LMFIV Thanks a lot! I’ve really enjoyed being @sweden today, and hopefully we’ll feel the same way all week. :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:13
@barstoolcadaver Is going to Helsingør worse, or was it a question whether I’m going there? But yes, that’s where I’m going.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:12
@simonleake Yes it is, especially since this truck’s going to Rødby, and then to Puttgarden later today (same ticket).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:10
@JeannieHiggins Oh, thank you! That won’t be until Sunday, so you’ve got plenty of time to get bored with me. :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:08
@drewyp Oh, it’s not too bad actually. Maybe you’ve been looking at the pictures from my home town, Uppsala? I’ve been driving south tonight
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:05
This is what I usually look like while waiting. It’s still too dark to take a picture today, so that will have to do. http://t.co/AnVlDr4f
@Sweden January 17, 2012 06:02
Oh well. I guess there are worse things than waiting for the boat in Helsingborg.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:43
Oh my, the break is over. Now I’m off to Helsingborg, to take the boat to Denmark. Bye for now!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:42
@Schmerikahh We’ll settle for “quite a few”. :P
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:37
@Irenethefairy Since I change trucks all the time, no. But, I have a picture of her on my iPhone. :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:35
@Schmerikahh Excellent question! I haven’t thought about that … You do the math, please? I’m not sure how long it is.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:34
Oh you guys! <3 RT @noellarichard: @sweden open a separate english account, I’m sure many would keep following you
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:33
@franksavaglio Unfortunately, I’m going to Helsingborg. :(
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:32
@noellarichard You think? Wow, that’s flattering!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:31
@livlab Who says she can’t be both? ;)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:29
@aptronym >> our country. It’s more interesting to see many different angles on a country, than just a single one.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:28
@aptronym I got the question late last year, from one of my followers. I guess they want a variety of Swedes, to show the difference in >>
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:24
For almost 4,5hs (4hs and 27mins to be exact), I’ve been driving, which means that I’ve got approx. 4hs and … 20mins left to drive.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:22
Gosh, I really enjoy being @sweden. They’ll have to grab the account out of my dying hands (or just wait ’till the week’s over).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:19
Someone said that I should take pictures instead, and collect them into a coffee table book. I’m not sure I will …
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:17
@perceptiontwist That was correct! How come you’re learning Swedish? (Not that I’m complaining, on the contrary!)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:15
Sometimes, I put on the high beams, just to see them freeze up like deer.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:14
Instead, they just get out of their trucks, and pee, right then and there.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:13
It’s not my own choice, I’m kinda forced to. You see, a lot of drivers just don’t have the energy to walk 20metres to the toilet.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:12
Speaking of breaks (bear with me, I’m getting there): I get to see more penises than most of my straight female friends.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:10
Right now, I’m having my second break for tonight, which means that I’m halfway to my destination. Right now, I’m somewhere in Småland.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:08
@perceptiontwist It sure is! It’s nice to be able to present a wide range of Swedes. There are 9millions of us. :)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:06
2) Sigourney’s panties always look really uncomfortable, and you always get to see them.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:05
A couple of weeks ago, I saw the Alien-movies, and two things struck me as remarkable: 1) Sigourney Weaver gets more beautiful on every one.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:01
And now for something completely different:
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:01
More about the last tweet when I get to Denmark (and have had some sleep).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 03:00
@jamespage79 Of course, sorry I didn’t do it earlier!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 02:59
@Sweden January 17, 2012 02:58
I really wish that I would have time to answer all the tweets I’m getting, but it’s impossible. I read them all though!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 02:52
I need more cowbell.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:24
Oh, break’s over. See you in a couple oh hours!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:21
Walking from the main square to my place? One Silent Shout. Excellent measure. Be sure to check the song out, it’s great!
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:20
Speaking of The Knife: their song ‘Silent Shout’ was once a measure of distance to me.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:19
The Knife, First Aid Kit, Christian Kjellvander, Patrick Wolf. Just do it, ok?
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:18
Since my iPhone seems to say FO every time I want to post a YouTube-link, you’ll have to check the following yourselves:
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:16
Note to self: don’t re-read your tweets. They will just make you blush, because you seem to be the lesbian equivalent to the Swedish Chef.
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:14
We’re allowed to drive for 4,5hs, and then we need to have a break (45mins). The break can be divided in two (15+30mins).
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:12
This device keeps track of time (for how long I’ve been driving, breaks and such). http://t.co/7G3MA2oW
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:10
Right now I’m somewhere between Norrköping and Linköping, having my first break. (And my first coffee since 6pm)
@Sweden January 17, 2012 00:05
Coffee. Coffeecoffeecoffee!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 22:15
I’ll see you in a couple of hours, on my first break.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 22:11
And tonight, David Sedaris will keep me company. <3 http://t.co/ZWwnRWzt
@Sweden January 16, 2012 22:11
Would you just take a look at this beautiful Swede? http://t.co/G3A3l8MT
@Sweden January 16, 2012 22:08
This is us. http://t.co/lOljXvFW
@Sweden January 16, 2012 22:04
Firstly, I have to make sure that the load is properly secured (after checking everything on the truck of course).
@Sweden January 16, 2012 21:56
But yeah, I’m at work now.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 21:55
If my head wasn’t screwed on, I’d forget that at home as well.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 21:54
Oh, it’s just one of these nights. Forgot my jacket at my gf’s, forgot the gloves in my car. It’s a cliché, but true nonetheless:
@Sweden January 16, 2012 20:27
See you in an hour or so, I’m off to work.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:57
That doesn’t mean I do it all the time, or most of the time. It means I’m doing it a few times.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:55
Wow, this has been blown way out of proportion, really. I’m sorry that I make you upset, but yes, I sometimes tweet while driving.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:53
@AnyaPalmer @rosegeorge3 That doesn’t mean that I do it all the time, or even most of the time. I do it a few times, that’s all.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:52
@AnyaPalmer @rosegeorge3 Oh my, this wasn’ty intention at all. The thing I wanted to make clear was just that it IS steadier. >>
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:50
I assure you, I’m not driving right now. I will be tonight though. The tweets you’ll see then will mostly be from my breaks.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:45
In a truck on the other hand, it’s way more steady, so looking away for a second doesn’t make you crash. I promise I’m being careful!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:44
As I’ve told several others: I would never ever be tweeting in a car. I mostly don’t answer the phone in one.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:42
@rosegeorge3 As I just said, I would never ever dream of tweeting in a car, but a truck is way more steady.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:41
@AnyaPalmer I would never dream of tweeting in a car, but a truck is way more steady. Believe me, it takes 2min to answer a tweet.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:37
So, safety first. I wouldn’t want to make you worried. :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:37
To those of you worried about me tweeting while driving: don’t worry. I write two letters, look at the road, and then two more letters.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:36
But hey, I guess that’s the way you sound when you haven’t had time to think things through. :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:35
Wow. Well done Hanna, making a complete fool of yourself when Reuters are calling! I must have sounded like a complete freak.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 19:03
@keleigh_wolf I drive a truck, from Sodertalje in Sweden, to Zwolle in the Netherlands. The best job ever!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 18:56
@matthewwilkes That is the foremost thing I’m ashamed of, being a Swede. It’s absolutely horrific! I don’t have a link right away though.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 18:54
@selmafeki Haha, thanks a lot! :’(
@Sweden January 16, 2012 18:54
I’m not cut out for working in an office.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 18:53
Yep, I’m one of the lucky ones, the ones who really enjoys going to work. I actually tried to switch jobs, but after just a week I returned.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 18:52
Darn it. I tried to sleep a couple of hours, but I’m just too excited, about this, and about going to work.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 17:49
@jessello Thank you!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 17:40
@soupwiththefork Mostly audio books, preferably in English.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 17:05
@nselby Haha, I know! But, as I stated this morning: this week Sweden won’t be location as much as a state of mind. :) (I’ll be working.)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 17:03
@ribblefizz Here it’s 4 pm, and yes, dusk. :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 17:02
‘This weekend?’ you say, and look in your calendars, ‘it’s only Monday?’. That’s true, but I’ll be off for Denmark tonight.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 17:00
I promise you: this weekend I’ll make sure to take you on a trip round Uppsala, but right now it’s too darn dark to take decent photos.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:58
This awful picture doesn’t do it justice, but this is our beautiful university library, Carolina Rediviva. http://t.co/iJ33r1TN
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:52
@sarahiteasdale Do come visit!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:51
@sarahiteasdale We’re all tweeting in English to make certain you all understand us. :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:50
@ElinDalstl I do. I think it’s a disgrace that a civilized country is still doing that. #myownopinion
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:47
@Ardeyargull I’m so glad to hear that! It was ages since I studied here, but I remember it as being extremely good.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:45
@MrsChristensen Oh, Jim
Dale reading Harry Potter is amazing.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:35
@ttmooney I know! It’s so odd, we haven’t had one decent snow day this winter.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:34
@ribblefizz I’ve always wanted to do it, but I didn’t have the courage until I was about 26-27. I haven’t regretted that one minute.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:33
@chilldivine Please do! We’ve got some great readers, but far too often the performances are crap. :(
@Sweden January 16, 2012 16:02
@NatJioe The one in the back is the church, in front of that some building (don’t know anything about it), and in the front a museum.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:59
As many of you already have remarked: the best audio book performer of all has got to be @stephenfry.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:57
And beside it, our concert hall. I like it a lot, but a whole lot of people find it butt ugly. http://t.co/zwVh6onw
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:56
This has to be the most beautiful school in Uppsala. http://t.co/NlsRpRl0
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:52
@Paxmee Unfortunately, yes. That drives me absolutely mad, and I can’t focus on the book. Hate it!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:50
My favorite performer is David Ledoux, at least in Jonathan Franzen’s ‘Freedom’, and of course in ’20th Century Ghosts’, by @joe_hill.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:46
Books read in English on the other hand, are mostly very well performed. They seem to be willing to put some effort in. <3
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:45
@MashOnEarth My favorite film of all times is ‘Blade Runner’, and to see it, read the book, and then see it again gives you new perspectives
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:44
@arriabelli I take them as I go.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:42
@MashOnEarth Oh, Bradbury is a favorite, along with Vonnegut. Just amazing! Have you read Philip K. Dick? He’s strange, but really good!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:40
That leaves us with actors, too bored to even TRY to do a good performance. Their noses whistle, they wheeze … Just awful!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:39
What really bugs me about audio books, is that in many cases (in Sweden), they seem to say “Hey, you’re famous, you read!”.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:36
I’m just hitting you with loads of pictures of Uppsala, just to give you an idea of how it looks. http://t.co/X9oiIikx
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:35
@kateboardman That’s usually the case, but we haven’t had one decent snow day all winter.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:33
@MashOnEarth Right now I’m enjoying book by @neilhimself and @joe_hill though. Both marvelous writers!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:32
@MashOnEarth Of all times? That’s got to be ‘Dance in my grave’, by Aidan Chambers. That’s the first book to really have made an impression.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:25
@keiii It’s great here. Where did you live when you were here?
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:20
@keiii I sure am!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:19
Audio books! <3 http://t.co/FByDsQiF
@Sweden January 16, 2012 15:18
This is our public library. As a truck driver, I don’t have time to read as much as I would like. The answer? http://t.co/BStFyeKa
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:53
@zacharyrich1 Oh, I’m glad you enjoy it! I live in Uppsala.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:53
@SweChris Is that good or bad?
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:52
@TonyLazarus I knew that would come eventually …
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:11
@ChicaNovo Yup, I’m afraid so. In the north of Sweden, they don’t use salt at all. Much nicer to both cars and shoes!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:07
@thirdlovephoto It’s awesome, with the nations and all!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:06
@ChicaNovo It’s both! Mostly it’s salt on the main roads, and gravel on sidewalks etc.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:05
@jacrats Just like here then. I did enjoy staying there though, with everything really closeby.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:04
@thegulster Excellent actually! I would never do it in a car, but a truck is so much steadier. Two letters, eyes on the road, two more. :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:03
@DarkoKirincic It is, isn’t it? No, never. I’ve heard it’s beautiful though.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 14:02
@arepty Will do!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 13:28
In Uppsala, we don’t really have a campus, the uni is spread all over town. Sometimes I miss my semester I Stirling, with the campus n’ all.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 13:21
I wish you could see this in the spring. This is the university building, and I live almost right behind it. http://t.co/Fo7vAqxW
@Sweden January 16, 2012 13:12
@imfuckingback Firstly, thank you! Well, we study it from early on (I think 1st or 2nd grade now, 4th when I was little), I guess that’s why
@Sweden January 16, 2012 13:09
@stefelino Sweden is definitely worth a tour! Welcome! (Make sure to come in the summer, for the midnight sun in the north!)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 13:04
@StuartyPhilpott It’s just wet, and cold, and … snowy.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 13:03
@stefelino Oh yeah? I know they were filming here, but I’m not sure why. I read the books ages ago, and I didn’t really care for them.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:56
This is my street, and you can see the church to the right. The view is much nicer in the summer though. http://t.co/xokk6v3z
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:54
@l1705H Here it is! http://t.co/F3vycrIE
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:49
@mejusan I remember last winter, and the one before that. Absolutely horrible!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:32
@lordyosch I guess most of us can speak at least a decent English. We’re chosen, I guess, to show the diversity in our country.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:30
But, that doesn’t mean I like rain in January either. There’s nothing pleasing me, is there? ;)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:29
As being a Swede, I know I’m supposed to like snow (“if you don’t like it, move whydontcha?”), but really, I don’t.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:27
I’d better get this day started. I got caught up here, just enjoying all your comments.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:21
@asawendin @ZealotZebra Naaw, you guys! I hope I won’t disappoint you (too much).
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:20
@womaninsweden (Look Ahead Cruise Control)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:19
@womaninsweden Just truck parts for the factory in Zwolle, nothing exciting I’m afraid. We try out new features, right now it’s the LACC.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:18
@caymsortweeted Thank you so much!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:17
@Emitime @jamespage79 I was sorry too, mostly because it was freezing outside, and my truck didn’t have a heater. I also arrived 4h early.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:14
@schwierczok And why on earth did you stop? It’s the greatest job in the world!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:13
@jamespage79 And thank you, I like it too. :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:13
@jamespage79 I went to Scotland to get a truck, and went to Immingham to catch the boat to Gothenburg. I was exhausted after that.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:07
@hellioncat *blush*
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:06
@womaninsweden I also work for Scania, but as a driver (duh!) for Scania Transportlab. Good stuff!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:05
@HenkAA60 That is absolutely correct.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:04
@thatjohn Naaaw! <3
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:04
@MsBrownMouse Oh, thanks!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:04
@womaninsweden I can imagine! I have never hitchhiked myself, I guess I’m too lazy.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:03
@jamespage79 Welcome! I see that you have chosen the part of Sweden where people can’t drive. ;) Jkpg is the worst spot of all to pass.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 12:00
@SonjaLeister I’ve actually learnt quite a few things from you! I always listen to P3, and it’s impossible not to learn from Brunchrapporten
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:58
@missalways I think that was the boat in Malmoe, going to Travemünde. Other times I go by boat from Sweden to Denmark, and then to Germany.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:56
@Ms_RH Thank you! I do too, it gives me some sort of character. :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:55
@Herreractor Well thank you!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:54
… and this is what I look like when I’m bored to pieces, while waiting for the boat: http://t.co/8GLDfc9u
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:53
This is what I look like when I drive (yup, it’s a Scania): http://t.co/Kq0MnbJM
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:52
@caymsortweeted I think about 120 000km/year. You?
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:49
@GeekySwede You should clap your hands a praise a higher power. :) I’ll just praise you and your colleagues, for keeping the roads snow free
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:47
@DanHass2 Oh my. I’m so not looking forward to pass Upplands Vasby in those conditions. People are mad!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:44
I just heard that it’s snowing in Stockholm. I don’t like the sound of that, cause that means it might be mayhem on the roads tonight.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:43
@PerssonOskar Hur menar du?
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:40
@caymsortweeted Wow! I only drive to the same places every week. But, I don’t have to worry about getting lost at least!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:39
@ElleHa Well done! I hope you’ll like it here, I know I do. The uni is great, and the student nations are awesome.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:38
@caymsortweeted Yes, we do. Often we switch in late autumn, that way they will be perfectly worn when the summer finally arrives.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:30
@mattiasubbesen That’s brilliant! I never seem to be able to remember it, but with that simple rule, I just might!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:23
@harodani Nope, but I live on their way home (just behind the uni, between there and the grave yard).
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:21
@harodani You mean “full of drunk students who keep shouting outside my window at 4am”? :P But yes, you’re right (I’ve been one myself).
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:14
Oh, I did this all wrong. I wanted to express my love for my home town, and it comes out like “meh”. Uppsala, please forgive me! ;)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:12
Oh yes, we do! RT @ilPugile: @sweden and you also have an amazing library
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:11
So, if you happen to live on the way from Vordingborg in Denmark, to Zwolle in the Netherlands, don’t forget to wave when I pass!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:10
Since it will be too dark tonight for any pictures: here is one of the trucks I’ll be driving this week (and others). http://t.co/nhOWIy0A
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:07
> that is old. If I’m not mistaken, it’s from 1477.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 11:06
I just realized that it may have sounded like “yeah, we’ve got an old uni, nothing cool about that”, but what I really wanted to stress is >
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:59
@periodwardrobe That depends on which part of Sweden you’re going to. If it’s the northern parts, well lucky you! (Yep, snow.)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:58
@aardbeiwormpje Oh really! Welcome! This is embarrassing, but I can’t come up with any out the top of my head. Sorry. :(
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:56
But, Uppsala is so much more than just old Vikings and stuff. We have an old university, a beautiful church, and well, me. :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:54
Those of you who have read the excellent novel ‘American Gods’ by @neilhimself may recognize Uppsala, it’s mentioned at least twice.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:52
Today I’ll be home in Uppsala (is it raining? In January? That’s just plain wrong!), which looks kinda sad today. Usually, it’s beautiful!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:47
@carlydergard Oh, I know lots of people (teachers and doctors among them!) who doesn’t touch the stuff. Surprising.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:43
@alexhorre It is, isn’t it? I am so looking forward to this week!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:43
@Yudheyn Haha, thx! Nope, I use “snus” instead, small bags of fine ground eh … stuff (loads of nicotine) you put under your upper lip.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:40
@Zebbyz I don’t? That’s actually too bad. How come I don’t, what did I get “wrong”?
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:39
@pattyspankpants I’ll be here today, and then from Thursday and on, so I guess there will be time for those as well.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:38
@vaughndavis Everyone is tweeting in English, it’s easiest that way. I hope you’ll like it!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:36
@_jonb That’s how we roll! :)
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:35
@notarolemodel It’s awesome to get this kind of welcome!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:34
I’ll be back in Sweden on Thursday, but till then you’ll have to make do with a Swedes view of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:33
What I meant earlier by location, is that – since this is a working week – I’ll be off for Denmark tonight, and then to the Netherlands.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:32
I’m actually quite overwhelmed by the warm welcome. <3
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:31
@jacrats Thank you!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:30
@stefelino Good! Thank you, you too!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:30
@khontejonas Naaaw!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:29
@fraygulrock Hi!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:29
@arjunkolady Thank you! So do I, I think it’s a brilliant idea to widen the perspective a little.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:28
@thatjohn “lastbil” means truck, and “lesbian” is … ok, it’s lesbian. It’s not a common phrase in Swedish, but I like it.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:25
@FuckingMorgan So I’ve heard! Thank you!
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:25
@thatjohn “Nooo pressure Hanna, no pressure at all!”. :) Thanks, I hope I will live up to your expectations.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:23
@elmadaeu Wonderful, I’m so looking forward to see what people’s going to write.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:21
I guess I should warn you though: Sweden won’t be a location as much as a state of mind this week, since I won’t be here that much.
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:17
But hey, I’ll still be a truck driving, coffee drinking lesbian of course. :P
@Sweden January 16, 2012 10:17
Hi all! I’m usually known as the truck driving, coffee drinking lesbian @lastbilslesbian, but this week I’ll be @sweden.
