Pain, pain, I know your game

Ouch, I'm ill. Been for over two weeks now. I. Am. So. Bored. I wish that being sick really was that romantic, cozy "curled-up-with-a-blanket-on-the-couch-with-a-silk-PJ-a-good-cry-movie-and-a-cup-of-hot-cocoa". No. Reality bites. Mucus, phlegm, sweat, constant bathroom visits, pills and bad daytime TV (= Days of Our Lives and TV shop). I repeat; Ouch. More pleasant news is the lovely gifts I got yesterday. Small package - big gift - not true in this case. I got a big package with a big gift - to sum up pretty much an entire office. Now I can become an Art Director without any education, job or anything (sort of).

Job. Job is a stressful word. Not just for the people who have jobs. For people without, too. I ought to know. This week is full, however that's possible without a full time occupation, but next week I'll be doing everything I can to get a job (sort of).

miu miu

Just bought myself a little birthday present (yes, today is my birthday) - a miu miu bag from tradera. We.

Popaganda








Popaganda was yesterday. How good to be at a festival again. Everything was awesome! Songbirds and Peacedrums, Hajen, Johnossi, Parken, Jenny Wilson, Steve Aoki, MGMT and the one and only - Lykke Li. She is amazing. A-ma-zing. MGMT was really something, too, but the crowd around us was so rude and violent that I lost the shivers the entire concert should have enhanced. But the rain fell and we danced and it was wonderful anyhow.

In so many ways, I really don't want to grow up. I miss what we had.

Fall

I'm back at Gotland! Finally I can see the ocean again!

My mom asked me to put together a playlist with a few of my favorite songs that I've seen/ am about to see on festivals this summer. This is it:


Perfect summer list!

Juli


At work, working, just had lunch, and just had a visit from the most beautiful little creature in the world. My new cousin, Juli, was a very pleasant lunch date, along with my aunt and my very own mom, and kept it very cool and easy. She's just like a little newly baked bun; tiny, warm, round, flourished and instead of granulated sugar on the top, there is a load of dark hair. Well done, auntie!

Popaganda

Tickets bought to Popaganda! MGMT will be seen on friday 28th. Just the thought of the sight, the sound, the electric feel, makes me shiver to my spine.

The cut

[pic1 personal pic2 tfs]

The long hair will soon be off. I need change. Typical girl thing to think that change will come with a new haircut, but don't knock it till you've tried it. The change is needed because of the feeling that the entire universe is working against me. Just got my "new" grades home, and there are wrongs in them once again, thank you very much, and I can't run because my lovely hip injury (snapping hip), has emerged and made itself more than notable once again, and I'm in limbo waiting to hear if I passed the Cambridge test and if there are any spots available at Stockholm University, and because I've made uncountable unsuccessful attempts to get my Adobe programs working, which I need to be able to get an internship, which means that the future anxiety has returned. Thankfully I'm going away to Gotland in a couple of days. Escapism has become my best friend.

Way out West


First night was Crookers night

Boys in chinos



Dance dance dance

Day 2


Arctic Monkeys. Vampire Weekend.
Wolfmother. Lily Allen.

I think I can die happy now. And even though I'm a trifle bit deaf now, I've hear enough to live on. Way out West was the perfect end to a great summer. love love love.

I Wish

I can't focus at all right now. I can't talk to the people in charge of the acceptance at Stockholm University until tomorrow, and tomorrow I'm leaving for Way Out West, and I can't relax at all. So instead I'm looking at a wish list for my upcoming birthday (August 30th) and this is some of it:


This movie is the best I've seen all year (aside from Harry Potter, but that's a totally different league), and it'll be released soon.

This bag and these shoes are from Topshop. I'm thinking of ordering them online. But I have no idea if the £ 5 shipping is the only cost. Anyone who has ordered anything from the online shop? I've made that mistake before, thinking that it's the only cost and then ended up with a huge bill. Not nice.
I really, really, really need a scanner. So it's high priority.


That's my wish list for now. It'll build up though. Ouch.

the Running

I ran 6 km yesterday (3,7 miles), and it felt so good! I didn't push myself hard, I got in at 34 minutes and 35 seconds, which is an okay speed for my current condition. I'm whipping myself into shape, and I'm totally positive towards the half marathon I'll be running next year. I have like a barrier, when I can run 6 km without pain or distinct exhaustion, I get such a kick, I feel like a runner. Afterwards I rewarded myself with a great plate of sushi.

Tuesday the week before everything


It's itching in my fingers for shopping right now. It's not good for me when technology fails me and all I can do is occupy myself by reading blogs and looking at f/w 09 campaigns. What wouldn't I do to go to New York and go crazy. I'm at work right now, soon off to have lunch with g-ma and Johanna. I'm getting a bit nervous about the weeks to come since I'll be finding out results for a load of important stuff. And I'm getting my next tattoo in six days. I've started watching Gossip Girl again (which, btw, is the best drama-OC-like-show), and I've realized that I'm like Blair Waldorf - I only see one option. Hers is Yale, and mine is Berghs. Hopefully I won't scheme and betray like that, but I understand her desperate feelings towards her future. But oh golly, enjoy the ride.

Peace.

Today I've really been good. It's like life started again. Vacation's over, new calendar, fresh start, fresh batteries, fresh season. I've made important phone calls, been to my old school to fix some mixup with my final grades, taken a test due to my poor sight and drivers license, had breakfast with Amanda and fixed my adobe programs. My future anxiety is slowly fading. Finally. Right now it looks like I'll be back in school this fall, after all: Stockholm University's Fashion Science, 60 p. If it all goes well.

Packman visited my cappuccino yesterday. Today I started the day with breakfast with Amanda, Lisa and Johanna. I then spent the day at the bridge with Elin. See how wonderful she is? Now I'm gonna watch I Love You, Man with mah man.

Drinks







Yesterday we had a local round. We started at the Bistro Bar, went up to Talliden for drinks and then went to Felix's. Then it took about an hour to get home since we met people everywhere. I love summer nights.

The faces of boredom


I never thought that I'd say this so early, but darn I hate that I'm not going back to school this fall. These past couple of weeks have been miserable, future anxiety is everywhere at the moment. And Jojo moved to Norway this morning. I waved her off as she went with two friends in a little blue beetle, and I haven't quite got it yet. Yesterday we had a little going-away party for her, where we took her to play laserdome and had dinner at Jensen's Bøfhus with an all-you-can-eat ice cream bar. We even got helium balloons there. I haven't had that much fun in ages. And soon Amanda is off as well. And I am so clear about what I want, but I'm just not sure that the universe will play along, so to speak.

Yes, Please

Finally a real summer day. Right now I'm lying out on my lawn, listening to the Kinks, just ran and swam with Amanda and had brunch with mom, Johanna, Amanda and Moa. Soon off to Södertälje to watch Elin and her band. Exciting like hell. Today is a good day. Alexander will be home tonight, as well. Yesterday was also a good day. I had a date-day with mom, where we watched Ice Age, went to IKEA and had Thai afterwards. I've been to the movies an awful lot this past week. I love it! Yesterday I even went a little over board and brought a blanket, a mochaccino and coconut cake with me. I love it!
