About me [Written 2005]

So, you wanted to read a little about me...

Well, I'm sort of flattered (blush.... - not)

So, what should I say then, hmm, let me see, or better, let me think...

Oh yeah, I could say that, and maybe that, but should I say that, hmm...

OK, I think I've made my choice now.

 

As you might know, I'm a girl - yeah, one of those... What would the world be without us...

My name is Linda Irene Tingvik, I'm born and raised in a country far north called Norway, and yes, I'm sort of blond...

Except that it has turned more or less into a grayish boring type so I tend to color it, who doesn't?

My age has passed the 30s, but I survive... I'm a summer girl, born in June, middle of the month almost - so yes, I'm a Gemini.

My birthplace and the place where I grew up is on the southwestern part of Norway, a place called Sandnes, not to far from Stavanger.

Sandnes is one of the three "aces" (in Norwegian called ess, sounds like "S"), and the other two are Sola and Stavanger - but Sandnes is of course the best place in the world...

At least it used to be, until it got to popular to live in and now they are building all over the place, destroying nice places because it's money to earn, and a need for houses... :-(  As you guess, I'm not to happy about this one.

And then you have this stupid thing in that area, a "tollroad ring" around the place so you need to pay whenever you need to cross over from one commune to and other. Or even just drive inside of Sandnes a couple of places :-(

I hate that!

My marital status is married, to a very sweet and loving guy called Tore!  He's been very good to me, and I do love him very much!

We got married the 14th of may 1997, and still we hang together...   I feel so lucky to have met him, and I know he feels the same way.

Anyway, from summer of 1996 to august of 2000 I was living in Belgium with my husband since he worked for NATO down there.

But, then it was over and we had to move back home to Norway.  Which strangely enough have been sort of bad, but also nice...

Norway had changed over the 4 years abroad, and I was not to fond of it!  More regulations, more taxes, more expansive and so on... :-(

Then, we moved to the Netherlands where I do live now. Been here for about 3,5 years now, but due to Tore not getting his contract renewed we are now facing the fact we need to move home again to Norway..

My interests you can read about here...

My family is a small one, as anybody else I do have a mother and father..   I also have an almost 3 year older brother (Roy), an and around 5 year younger sister (Ann-Marie).

Close to me has also been my mothers parents since they lived in the same house/building as us, but now all that's left is my grandmother since her husband died in autumn of 1999.

My closest friend was for a very long time an animal.  A cat called Pjusken has from my youth and until spring of 1999 been the most dearest friend and even family for me, but she got ill and then she left me (for now)... :-(

It still makes me sad.  I miss her terrible!  Other then her I haven't really had close friends, I do know some I would consider to be very good friends, and even maybe "fit the profile" of a close friend, but still I think of them as more real personal friends.

They know me good, but still I can't share with them as much as I could with Pjusken.  But that's because I really don't trust a human being as much as I trust an animal!

I might offend somebody, but hey, this is how I am!

My real personal friends is as mention some people I know and have known for some time.  I would of course put my husband in here, as would most of my other friends.

My friends is where other people I met on the way "fit in" that I feel I know and think of as friends, like people I met on the Internet.

My work is in the home, I'm a housewife and I must admit that I like being home and be my own master of the time and things that needs to be done!

But unfortunately to get money and such, you need a paying job, which I don't have...  My biggest problem is just finding out what I want to do, all I know is that I'm not able/interested in a full day job, more like a part time since there are days I don't even want to leave the house, and even less meet people!

Well, that was some of me, you regret you wanted to know about me...?

Oh, you came in here looking for pictures, well...   I'm not that photogene, and I'm not to fond of posing for photo's either, but since you look so nice, here's a couple pictures...
