Synne

What?s your name?
My name is Synne Sophie.

How old are you?
Nineteen.

Where are you from?
Nesodden

How long have you lived here?
Since the squatting began in October

Do you like living here?
I like it a lot! There?s a lot going on, a lot of good people, I really enjoy it, and it?s a very nice neighborhood, and a nice house.

What?s it like to live together with all of the other people that lived here originally?
It?s great! We really get along with each other. Sometimes I get a little concerned that we?ve been too noisy, but it hasn?t bothered them,, so that?s good. I think it?s really nice to be able to help them, change fuses and stuff.

Where did you live before you moved in here?
Nowhere. Or, with different friends almost every day.

What would happen if you couldn?t live here? Would you move to a regular apartment?
I?d probably start squatting someplace else, I think. There are always houses that are just standing there, empty.
Why can?t you live someplace where you?re not squatting?
Because then I have to get a job, and then I couldn?t both go to school and also have time for the things that interest me . I would have to give up one of those things if I also had to work too.

What kind of school do you go to?
I go to high school and study music.

Since moving in here with all of these different people, have you noticed that your clothing style has changed at all?
No, I don?t think so, because I haven?t gotten any new clothing- except for these! But otherwise I haven?t gotten any new clothing during the two months I?ve lived here. So I can definitively say that my style hasn?t changed.

Kutt:

Do you usually buy new clothing over the course of the year.
Never. I buy underwear, that I do, but otherwise I don?t buy anything, because people give me so much clothing- it just piles up! Whether I inherit it, or it?s given to me, or I find it, there?s no reason to buy clothing. I have so much clothing! What do I need new clothing for?
