1. I’ve been on a recording of a CD, where I was one of the girls that sang “the main voice”. Some years ago, I still have the CD. It’s weird to think about now though x)

2. I used to be really bad when I were younger. I was never quiet in class, and I was often in fights. I’m not like that now X) I do get in fights, but usual I’m quiet and does all my homework and stuff.

3. I used to only listen to techno when I was younger. THEN I discovered Green Day, which was my first favorite punk/rock band. After that, I’ve only listened to Punk, Rock and Metal.

4. I’ve been in a church choir (I think that’s what it’s called?) And I started when I was 7 years old, and I quitted when I were about 14 years old. It was fun, but it’s not exactly “me” x)

5. I’ve been high on drugs one time. I’ve never told anyone. The reason was that my doctor had given me too much medicine, and I was allergic to the medicine as well. My grandparents noticed there was something wrong, and they drove me to the hospital, and if I’d been on the medicine only one more day, I would’ve died of an overdose.

6. I’m allergic to a lot of things, for example cats, dust, soap, mud.. And so it goes on and on. It sucks.. I used to be a non allergic girl, but when I turned 14 years old I started to react to all these weird things. And I have to use soap, of course I do, and when I’ve been showering, I get these red spots on my skin.. It’s embarrassing.

7. I’m super extremely shy. There’s nothing more to say X)

8. I use the word “dude” a lot X) I think I’m driving my friends nuts.

9. I can’t think of anything more. Um, Marthe and I almost missed the train back to Arendal after the Muse concert in Oslo. And when we got on the train, we didn’t have any money, so we couldn’t buy anything to drink. But after 5 hours on a train in the middle of the night we came to Kristiansand, and they had a.. what’s it called, where you can take out money… X)

10. I have a neighbor that loves to play jazz the whole night long. And it’s starting to drive me crazy, he’s playing right now btw, I swear, I’m soon gonna go out and brake his music player thingy.

I’m bored… It’s 1:07 in the morning and I can’t sleep. Frankie is making a lot of noise right now. X) I’ll try to get some sleep. Nights!

Haha, that title is weird, I know!

So.. It’s been two stressed out weeks! We’ve had this project on school named “North and South” where we were supposed to focus on the difference on rich and poor. I worked with a guy.. and the usual, guys never work x) I got five on it though :D where 6 is the best, and it’s really hard to get a 6.

Christmas ball! :D
My Christmas Ball was last night! :D I was freaking out 10 minutes before we were suppose to go,  cause my hair wasn’t finished.. but it all worked out! :D We had so much fun! I almost fell down the stairs with my shoes, so I walked around without shoes for the rest of the night. Subito and Putrid played. It’s my fourth Subito concert since summer. Putrid are ok, they’re younger than me :P
We had all these Jeger-shots! And, god, I don’t know how many we drank, there was at least 20 of them on the table after the first two hours..

Signed cd! :D
That is a very interesting title actually. A signed cd. Hah, I bet someone of you want to know what that means, what I mean by it. So.. I wan! Haha. I entered this competition in one of the mags I get in my mail every 5 week or something. And I won a signed cd by Stalingrad Cowgirls, the Finnish band that were support for Muse when they played in Oslo :D They’re actually not that bad! :D

Playing Guitar!
Yes.. I’m playing guitar.. well, I’ve played guitar for ages though, but today I was supposed to play “You Rise Me Up, as preformed by Secret Garden” on piano. It’s a 6 pages long piece, and I was actually looking forward to play it in front of class, but of course! I forgot the book at home, and I didn’t know how to play it freely! This was my opportunity to get my grade from 4 to 5! So I asked if there was anything else I could do to get it up, and now I have to play some Christmas songs on acoustic guitar. And I’ve been practicing all day, and my fingers hurt X) I have to perform with some others at Thursday, the day we end school before Christmas… I’m not looking forward to it. So, I do play the piano, I do play guitar, and I do play bass! Hah!

I don’t know if there anything more to say. Killswitch Engage and Converge is confirmed to Hove 08! I have no idea of who they are, but I’m pretty sure they rock! And I can’t wait to go the the festival again! :D

Ah, it’s soon Christmas :D Can’t wait :D

I counted the concerts I’ve been to, I’ve been to 11 concert since middle September :D
I have to do a book report, but I’m too lazy.. -_-‘

Anyways, the weather over here has sucked.. It’s been raining all week, and it’s cooooold!  So now I got a cold, yay..

I thought I would make this a journal about the concert I went to at Friday too..
Tonje, Annette, Siw and I went to see Rangers and Clawfinger in Arendal :D

We met at 6.30 and waited for the doors to open, but they were late cause the sound checks took a little longer time than it was suppose to. My sister came out and told me, cause she was backstage with the bands.

So we went inside the shopping mall and did a lot of funny stuff.. x) And then we went out again. We were almost first inside so we got to be in the front :D People started to come and Rangers started to play. They were awesome. A local, really cool band, from Arendal.

Then we waited an hour or something, before Clawfinger came. They were great :D My sis was playing a photographer and got to be between the stage and the crowd (that lucky shit). She also got to hang out with them backstage :O

They played trough a lot of songs, opening with “prisoners” which is a cooooool song :D And at the end they played 5 extra songs cause we shouted “we want more, we want more”

The bass player stage dived and the singer got dragged into the crowd by a guy next to me, so he landed on top of me and my friends x) And I got to hold the bass player and the drummers hand :D Two times! :D And Zak (the singer) spat his gum at me *cries* on my new t-shirt, and I can’t get it off X)..

For those who don’t know, Clawfinger is a Swedish metal band, though the guitarist is form Arendal. I half know him :D They have released 7 albums.

And now: some pics! :O (I just gotta say I look bad in them all!)

I look terrible at this pic! :O

I got loads of mye pics :D

Remember, Life Will Kill You!
