How can you recognize something you haven´t seen?

Sometimes when I watch a movie I recognize things. Some times you remember you have seen the movie before, but sometimes it´s the first time you see it. It has happened several times, and I´m sure it will happen several more times.
Like, I recognize things from Avatar. And when I saw it was the first time I saw it. I was supposed to see it at the movies with my sister, but we never did. I saw it with a friend, and there were some parts that felt a little familiar. And when I thought about the movie afterwards I recognized things. Like the end when Neytiri goes to Jack and find him on the floor and gives him oxygen. And they lay their hand on the other one´s cheek and say " I see you" I know I have seen that before, but it was the first time I saw the movie. But I really recognized it. I have seen it before. Somehow.
And I think I recognize some things from Prince of Persia. But the same there, it was the first time I saw the movie. I know some things were in the trailer, but the things I recognize that weren´t?
It so weird when you watch a movie and you recognize things, but you shouldn´t, cause you´ve never seen it before.
Can someone explain?

Prince of Persia

Last night me, my sister and our friend went to see Prince of Persia. I thought it was really good, and I`m definitely going to see it again. My sister is going to buy it when it´s available on DVD, so I´m sure we will watch it a couple of times or more.
I really liked Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan. I think he did a really good job. And I liked his look, the hair, the clothes. He looked good. And I really liked the character, and I think it was nice to see Jake play a part like that. He was cool and confident.
I also liked Gemma Arteron who plays Tamina. I liked the character, and I think she did a good job.
I think it was impressive when they jumped between rooftops, or between rooftops or down from a building and through a window or something. And I can say that I would not like to try. It looked very cool, and "Dastan" was really good, but I would not like to try.
The movie was quite funny sometimes, like when they were in the Valley of Slaves, or what it was called, and Tamina said something to Dastan and he didn´t know what to say.
I liked the special effects, I think they did a very good job. When they turned back the time, I think that was very nicely done.
I really liked the movie and I want to see it again soon.
I´ve tried not to think about the movie that much, but of course I have thought about it. But if I think too much, I will find something that I recognize, and I think I do recognize some things, even if this was the first time I saw the movie. But it has happened before.

I´m going to Spain!

I was so happy last Thursday when i found out I´m going to Spain in August. It´s with some of the people I work with. Our boss gave it to some of us as a part of the Christmas present. I wasn´t going at first, since I´m only working when they need me and not permanently emplyed. There was only going to be the permanently emplyed who was going to go, but J called last Thursday asn said that I could too. A thank you for working quite a lot, that they can count on me. I say no to work very rarely.
I´ve only been to Norway and Finland before so I´m very excited. And I`m glad that there was no problem getting a few days off from my summer job. But they are nice to deal with, so I never thought there would be any problems.
Now I just need a passport :)

I wish...

I`m listening to a new song by Erik Grönwall, Crash and Burn. And I really like it. He is so damn good, what a voice. I wish I was that good.
And everytime I hear something I really like, see a band or artist that I like that are really good, I wish I was I was that good. And I wish I could work with music, that I was a singer, singing my own songs, or others for that matter. Being on stage. Be someone that I want to be.
I wish....

I wish I could move, start over, be who I could be, be someone. But that´s just dreams.
I feel like I´m too old to change, I should have started 6 (7) years ago, when I was still 20. You can´t turn back time, even though I sometimes wish I was 20 again, with the experience I have now.
I decided to move, but it probably won´t happen. And if it does, I´m probably already 30 years old, and a lot is already too late. Somethings won´t be too late until I´m old, but somethings you want to try now.
I wish.....

I wish I could be who I think I can be. But something is holding me back.
I think that if I was able to be on stage performing, I would be kind of someone else. Casue it would be more of who I want to be I guess. Or what I hope to be. Like some people who are confident and all on stage, and a different person off stage....
I wish...

Recording

I really like the song Strange, and I have listened to it so many time that I almost know it by heart. And I decided to try to record me singing it, and I did. I had to do it a couple of times before I was somewhat satisfied, but I think it turned out okay.At least someone likes it :) I onnly have one comment for the "video", but she liked it, and someone I know that it was good. He still thought I have a very nice voice, but wasn´t sure the song fits me. It will probably sound better with music, but I tried that with In your Shadow I Can Shine but it didn´t turn out so good. It sounded better a cappella, but it usually sounds better with music, so maybe if I can find a karaoke version of Strange I will try.

I will probably ty to record other songs too. But I don´t know if it sounds as good as I want it to be. But there is always someone better, and there is always someone worse...

Strange

Strange by Tokio Hotel feat Kerli is my new favorite song. I just love it! :)
I´ve been listening to it a lot the last week or something. It´s really stuck in my head. I sing it everyday. either in my head or out loud. And when I listen to it I just play it over and over again.
I know at least half the song by heart, but when I sing it to myself I don´t always hold the melody. I`m going to listen to the song until I really know the melody and then try to record it on my computer.
And if I do audition for Swedish "Idol" this year, maybe I will sing that song... It´s a song that I love and I think it suits my voice. At least I hope so :)

Why is everything so complicated

I just decided to move. I´ve felt I need to for a while now, and yesterday I decided to actually do that. I need to move if I´m ever going to try to do all the things I want to do. I can´t do that if I stay here.
I told my parents about it yesterday. And first they thought I should do it. Thought that it was good that I wanted to move and try, I´ve never wanted that before. Partly because I´m very close to my family, my sister is my best friend, and I don´t want to leave them. And I guess I´m afraid of failing, and it´s so much easier to dream, than to actually do it. And dream, I´m the master of that.

But then yesterday, when I had told them I was planning on moving, I was away for a couple of hours and when I came back they had changed their mind. I have a puppy who´s only about 6 months, and I can´t leave him alone a whole day. And what if I have an hour to work, and I have to leave him at a dog day-care and that cost money, and... I had a little breakdown I guess you can say. I had really made up my mind about moving in the fall or something, so I can work a little and get some money before I move. And then they tell me I can´t just because I have a dog. It felt like I´m not supposed to be something. Like I´m not meant to be someone. Just work a little every now and then, stay here, and just not be someone. Just someone that keeps dreaming and wanting things that will never happen.
When I was going to sleep, I had breakdown again. Just because I really feel like I have to move. I have to try to do the things I want to do. I´m not getting any younger, and I´ve been holding myself back for too long. It´s time to do something.
I`ve wanted a dog ever since we had to put the old one to sleep about 7 years ago. And I love my puppy. But, and I know I´m overracting a little bit, but it felt like he was standing in my way, that I can´t move when I have him. I don´t want to wait 13 years when I probably don´t have him anymore. Move then and try doing things then is just a little way too late. And I don´t want to sell him just so I can move.
My parents said that if I stay here, they can help me when I´m at work and stuff. And I know they will, and I understand how they think. But I just got so upset.

I talked to my mom a few minutes ago. And then she asked me how I felt today. And said that if I want to move, I should do that. i can leave the dog with them if I want to. Try to see if I can get an intership at that magazine, like I wanted. But I´m not going to to that. But if they say it´s okay for me to move, and leave the dog with them if I can´t take him with me. i think I will actually move. And hopefully I will be able to take the dog with me.
