No snowmen here...

I'm sorry I've been so boring these days, writing about borign stuff or not writing at all. :( These days have gone so fast, I can't even catch up. I've planned to do so much before going to Luleå, but things just wouldn't turn out my way...

I've been busy packing, doing laundry, cooking and studying today. Uugghh, I'm not cut out to be a housewife! (My back hurts! XD)

I'm having trouble packing, I don't know if you know but Luleå is (like) the city furthest north of Sweden and if you have prejudices about how cold it is in Sweden what about Luleå huh?! XD But I was like no, it's prejudices it's not that cold. But then I checked the weatherforecast today. What do I see, minus 4 degrees on Saturday?!!? Bring on the winterboots! XD

Btw, I also saw a small article about Jonas Brothers in a Swedish newspaper. It's about them making a new big screen movie called: "Walter the farting dog". Honestly it sound like something Joe would come up with, hehe. XD Frankie (Frankster!) will ablso be in it. They'll start shooting next spring.

About the past week's Poll, it was quite interesting results I must say..

Most Popular was "Heroes" with 6 watchers.
Second came "Gossip Girl" with 5 watchers (I used to watch it, then the cheesyness took over and I kept watching because of the fabulous clothes they wear XD)

"Deperate Housewives" had 4 watchers (never watched an episode in my life)
"Ugly Betty" and "Hannah Montana" comes in a shared 4th place (I put Hannah Montana just for the laugh but it looks like it wasn't for some...XD)

"Pushing Daisies" and "House" had 2 watchers (it's too bad so few watch Pushing Daisies, it's really an awesome show! :D)

Then we had left "Lost" and "30 Rock" (I really like 30 rock, it's hilarious. I really should make it a regular thing..)

So, I'll see you in 4 days. Vote on the new poll and we'll hope I won't freeze too much up there. XD

Last of High School Musical..or?

This is just gonna be a quick review of High School Musical 3; the senior year.

I must say I was a bit sceptic when I heard that the third movie was going to shown in the cinema. I could see the scenario clearly in front of me; the cinema being swamped with children and packs of giggling "fjortis" ("14-year olds", we need a word for that don't we?!) girls. All of them wearing High school musical t-shirts (at least the children) and singing the soundtrack or playing them on their cellphone (as for the fjortisar).
I mean High school 3 on cinema would be the greatest fjortis gathering in the history, not even arranged. XD

I must say that even though I think HSM is one of the most cheesy and childish movie of all time, there's still something utterly charming about it. The HSM movies are perfectly predicatable and shallow, the silliness just makes me laugh out loud. But on the other hand it feels good just for some moments to stop being so mature and just enjoy the lightly entertainment these movies offer.

Anyhow, I bought tickets (mostly because I hadn't went ot the cinemas for almost 2 months....right XD) and in the end it was me, my sister and 3 other friends from school who went. I didn't really care about my age or whatever anymore, I'm at least not 21 ! XD
I knew some of the songs and singing along was one of the best thing about the movie. (It's a musical all right?! You're supposed to sing!)

The movie neither impressed nor disappointed me. I mean sequels are in general really bad and imagen when you do a sequel of something that's already quite bad? I've seen the second HSM movie and thought that was just a bit worse than the first. That's why I was full prepared of something catastrophic but I must say it kept the HSM standard (with being quite good). In the movie I really liked how they transformed from "real life" to being in the musical and vice versa, skilled. The budget was way higher now, but quite unecessary according to me. I mean Sharpay's and Ryan's "I wan it all" was fab. but it would do without all the 1000 lights and signs. What about in Zac's "Scream" the revolving hallway, what the heck?! XD
I can never get enough of Zac's screams (pure awesomeness XD) and the song is no doubt the best on the whole soundtrack. You do not want to miss Zac's screaming in the end of the song, thefore I've been nice enough to upload the song onto this blog. Check it out! ;)

If you've been with HSM from the very beginning you should see this. Zac is just plain awesome :D

"I want my own dream, so bad I'm gonna scream !"

Swedish SAT

I'm so sorry for not writing for so long, this week before the school break, but now it's over and finally I'll have some time for myself before being busy again, which basically is this evening and some hours on wednesday or tuesday.

Let's review the nearest future shall we?
26/10-28/10-Tomorrow, I have to "work" (the crappiest job ever) then my friend is coming down from Helsingborg, and she's staying until Monday-Tuesday (I think)
28/10-On tuesday I have violin lesson, and btw I also have to study for my French test for after the break.
29/10-For Wednesday probably packing and studying.
30/10-2/10-Thursday, I'm flying to Luleå (like the absolute northest in Sweden...bbrrr), meeting friends I haven't met for so long! I'll stay until Sunday.
3/10-4/10-School and French Test :(
5/10- It's OFF TO EDINBURGH for 3 weeks :)

I appiled for the "Högskoleprovet" (the test in itself is much like SAT, it doesn't have the same function though), a while ago and finally did it today.UUuhhgg, the whole experience made me nauseas.
All he strict rules about everything (test time and even rulers), all the forms and papers to fill in (with tiiinnyy squares, geessh!), the answering form with all the werid text and colours (Ughh) and the test teacher whose this old and scary lady.
There also seemed like the place was swamped with older students/people that made me really intimidated. (I'm not cut out for university!! XD)

I could go on all night but that is less interesting. All in all, I think I did pretty well, better than I expected (my expectations were below low, fyi XD), so in other it's still not very good but okej. XD

Okej, this post sucked but I really wanna go and spend some time with my guitar now, before we ahve to seperate for 3 weeks...:'(

[llooovvee] Burnin' Up is showing on Disneychannel. It's also supposed to be shown quite frequently on the Swedish MTV. Tell me if you catch it ;)

- Jonas Brothers burnin' up the whole world...

A Jonas masterpiece

I'm totally in love with the "Lovebug" music video. I really love the whole idea, it's beautiful plus I love that (1940's right?) era style the video's in. I must say that it didn't quite fit the song, but it is an amazing song and an amazing video, in conclusion an amazing everything XD.
Nick in glasses: PRICELESS! Greg playing the contrabass, that's awesome! XD

Haha thougth it was kinda fun that Nick finally met his "celebrity crush" (Selena goes jealous...XD), Camilla Belle. This should be the first time she's in a music video right? It only made me long for "Push" so much more. XD

Jonas Brothers' "Lovebug" music video, a must see. Here's the link if you can't watch the video below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PZ1Wh0jV-E

I got this Lovebug so bad..

I'm sick, I caught the Lovebug

While we're talking so much about the French anyway. Here's a picture my friend drew me: "How you recognize a Frenchman".

Text on the picture:

1. Red beret
2. Goldenblonde curly hair

3. Panting brush in his hand

4. Quite big nose
5. Mustache

6. Scarf tied in the "french way"
7. Baguette in the other hand

8. Navy blue striped shirt

As for my frenchman, 2,4,5,6,8 would be correct. XD

This friday I happened to face the most horrible thing of modern time. Camp rock dubbed to Swedish. Dubbed movies are horrible in itself, when it is in Swedish it's almost 2 times worse but when it came to Camp rock, I've never seen (heard) something this awful. (Well yeah, it might also have something to do with who's in the movie.....herk herk)
The one doing Shane's (Joe's character) voice had not just a very ugly voice but he had also the worst Swdish accent imagenable. It's called "Skånska" and it's spoken in Scania (the region I live in), I guess mostof us have some of that accent here but he had it BBAAAAAAAAAAAD, like he was directly plucked out from countryside.
The voice almost made Joe unattractive! XD I mean people, how could you make something so wonderful so awul?! It should be illegal!!

Btw, today is the premiere of JB's new musicvideo "Lovebug". Man, I can't wait. From what I've seen it's going to epic. XD Camilla Belle is going toin it, how awesome is that?!

I'm sick, I caught the Lovebug ;)

How to manage a French exhange student

About the poll, that I haven't changed this week (which I'm really sorry about) went like this;
An amazing singing voice, 9 votes (50%)
Stunning guitar skills, 6 votes
Higher IQ, 2 votes
Oscar-awarding acting skills, 1 vote

I was kinda surpisred really, I thought most of you would take higher IQ. So you would rather be a (really) good singer than smarter? XD Haha, to be honest that is also what I would vote. I guess most people can sing but it's really something to sing really good (like Demi! :D)
I've put up a new poll now, it is only until Wednesday, so vote away!

Okej this is my "Guide to managing a French exchange student" :

-They either eat very much or very little; so buy extra bread for breakfast. Or don't worry about them not liking the food, some of them just eat very little (have you seen the size of them? they're all like sticks!)

-They are not very good at English; so if you don't know French it will occur communication problems (I know French pretty well, even so there were misunderstandings). Therefore remember to keep the english very simple. Buy a dictionary!

-Be careful with "Mis casa es su casa"; you might think everyone knows what it really means. But some might take the words literally, then there's no turning back. (Yikes!)

-Give them a room of their own; that is if it's possible. You might not want to give up your room but it will be much more comfortable for both you and the student. It doesn't just give the student a certain freedom but also for yourself, because when they're in the room you don't have to look after them!

-Be nice; well duh! EVEN when it's hard (oh yeah!) you have to try to the best, because it would be horrible if your host student (family) would get angry at you. And besides they will leave soon!

-Let them hang with other; it is so much of a relief if you introduce them to siblings, friends, girl/boy friends. (oh believe me!) Because they can help you keep the student busy while you "have to" do other things.

-Be careful about lending money; they live in France and have euro, right. What if they "forget" and "only has euro"? When will you get your money back? It's not like they'll send you the money from France.

-They will be demanding; well it depends much on the student but I can tell you most of them will want to stay "just a little bit longer" or everything just a little bit more. Be prepared in case you really have to tell them off. You have the responsibility of them and they have to listen to you.

-Prepare for a culture clash; well not something major but small things. Some French have shoes inside and drink from bowls (not kidding). You have to tell them if something isn't quite alright doing or not doing here. Or if it's something you do and they don't usually do, be considerate.

-Always be 5 minutes ahead; the French have a tendency to be slightly slow; in the morning, eating dinner, walking or basically everything. XD You don't want to be the one that always says "Hurry!" and make them all stressed out. So if you're catching the bus or whatever tell them that it goes 5 minutes earlier, the same with school schedule.

-Don't go crushing on them; face it they will leave eventually. Will you work out a (very) long-distance relationship? I don't think so. (even if they happen to be the cutest one you've ever seen XD)

Sources and facts: real life experience.

Good Luck ! XD

This is an SOS, for real

O H M Y F***** M O T H E R E A R T H !

Never in my life I would have imagened that having a french exhange student would be like this.

ALDRIG i livet! Allting har blivit som en mardröm jag inte kan vakna upp från. (Fy, va konstigt det är att skriva på svenska, det går nästan inte men ja...det finns en anledning)

Ni kan kan inte fatta hur otroligt irriterande (¤#"%&!¤%&"!¤) min fransman är!
Jag fattar det inte, jag bara fattar det inte. Han var hur normal som helst när vi va i Frankrike och jag som hade sett fram emot att de skulle komma ihåg, jag tyckte att det skulle bli sjukt kul. Hur blev det så här fel? Det är som om jag hade öppnat Pandoras box och allt bara blev värre och värre.

Vet ni vad jag har blivit den här veckan? Jag har blivit en mamma, åt en 8 åring! Min fransman är 16 (vilket jag tyckte var jätte coolt, liksom han e lika gammal som Nick XD) men definitivt INTE i huvudet. Han vet alltså inte riktigt hur man tar hand om sig själv eller hur man bör uppföra sig hos andra människor. "Mi casa es su casa" , det är ett UTTRYCK! INTE BILDLIGT!! vilket han inte förstår sig på.
Varje person måste ha en viss avskildhet från andra, till och med från familjen! Man brukar inte tex. gilla att en (nästan) främlig har sina saker i hela badrummet (som om man ahr flyttat in?!), man bruakr itne gilla att andra snokar bland ens skolsaker (utan att fråga) och jag vet iallafall att jag inte gillar när de läser ens böcker (manga) utan att ha tillåtelse.
Mest synd om honom är att han är otroligt socialt efterbliven. Hur är man bland folk? Bland skolkompisar, människor i din ålder över huvud taget?! Okej, det slutade jag bry mig redan i måndes, det är ett hopplöst fall. Ni har heller itne träffat världens torraste människa, hans så kallade skämt eller sarkasm hade kunnat torka upp alla världens 7 hav.

Jag kan inte hjälpa det men jag stör mig på allt han gör just nu. Jag VET att jag är skit taskig och till och med ond när jag tänker och skriver det här. Jag har FÖRSÖKT (tro mig jag har) att överse, struntat i allt det där. Jag vill verkligen inte känna så här, det är sant, jag vet själv att det är jätte oschyst, men JAG VET INTE vad jag ska göra.
Vet ni?! Jag kan inte sova, på grund av de psykologiska störningar han har orsakat mig! XD Jag är så mentalt utmattad av att hålla upp och stå ut med allt att jag nästan somnar i skolan. (vilket jag aldrig gör!) Jag är ett nervöst sammanbrott.

Det är tur iallafall att jag har denna sovmorgonen att va lite med mig själv en gångs skull (han måste va i skolan 8 varje dag). Jag saknar mitt gammla liv såå mycket (JONAS BROTHERS!!!)
Det känns skönt att få vara sig själv iallafall för en liten stund.

T A C K!

My left-hand fingers hurt...:(

Haya! It's the guitar addict talking. The past few days have been so weird, all I can remember is like strings, chords and fingers. XD HAHA no, but really I've played the guitar so much these days even my mum got annoyed. During my free period yesterday I went to all the music stores in the centre to look at guitars. Maaaaan, it was wonderful! :D
There was in one store where I stayed for an half an hour just trying on one guitar to another, it was AWESOME! :D So I REALLY WANT to get a steel stringed guitar. They are heaven! XD

I'm thinking of getting a Fender CD60 (the ones on the picture), I'm like in love with the black one. Now I need, I need money! I actually wanted an acoustic Gibson, but they cost a fortune! :'( So to be realistic, a Fender is cool too.

I got a comment on one of my videos of Youtube today, saying that I suck. It was actually kinda comical, I know that I'm not very good but I at least knew I was better than her. If you are so immature that can't give constructive criticism you're not even worth listening to. On the contrary it only shows how pathetic you are.
But plus it's good, they keep me grounded, you know how easily things get to my head. XD So keep give me criticsm it only makes me laugh...and views by that matter! XD (MUAHHA)
(Check out my suckish vids, haha: www.youtube.com/thatmandy)

Now I really need to go and study for my Psychology test before the French students arrives, which is tonight so. Why don't you have a nice saturday while I work my ass off. And ALSO don't forget to check out my new song on the musicplayer, it's Demi Lovato's La La Land, which is my opinion the best song off her album, enjoy! See Ya!

Oh btw, I learnt how to play Goodnight and Goodbye. Now I just have to practice on the fingerpluck thing, wiihoo. :D

To get views....

Look what I amused myself with on my day-off from school. XD

I learned how to play "Hello Beautiful" today and my left hand/arm is totally dead right now from playing it so many times. I've almost forgot how beautiful the song is (..wait a minute XD)
You'll see new cover videos up soon ! ;)

I changed poll, ladies and gentlemen. I know my previous was a bit....werid. XD As you mayeb could figure out it was a personal dilemma. I'm thinking of getting a new guitar, at the same time as I want a new iPod, as the same as I want a new cellphone. So I wanted to see what you guys thought. XD
Most of you answered the new iPod (well duh XD) BUT it was only one vote more than (the Nick J) Gibson. (I wwaant iit sooo baaaad XD)

I was Youtubing last night (haven't done for so long) and this weeks poll question just came up. Let's vote and let's break the participation record, huh ! ;) (I'm such a Cheerleader....XD)

Happy poll time! :D

I miss you guys. Pls come back! :)

Jonas Support

Nerdy quick post while I'm waiting for the new Heroes episode to upload.

For all swedish JB admirers, the Swedish MTV are now showing the TRL week JB made back in august (in the US). They started to show it this Monday (without me knwoing it :'(! ). It is four "shows" so make sure not to miss the two last ones, tomorrow and on Thursday!
And when you already are on teh run, why not vote for the boys as "New Act of 2008" on the Europe Music Awards: http://ema.mtv.se/vote/#__bÄsta_nykomling

IT IS NOT HARD, just to click on "Jonas Brothers" then on vote. It takes 1 second! Then it is not hard to vote once again either. I have myself have voted about 20 times just today.
The boys want YOUR support!!

Save ourselves, Save the world [Heroes spoilers, don't read]

So many questions and so little time

Heroes is obsessive as always.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I rather watch Sylar than many other of the old characters right now. It's kinda sad really, Elle is my big hope for right now. ELLE!!
I could have just write everything in my head about Heroes right now, but....YOU KNOW WHAT, I AM GOING TO DO IT. Why don't you just skip this entry if you haven't seen the last episode of the thrid season! (Me goes mean!)

SPOILERS FROM NOW ON!

I guess I got all softened when watching season 2, with everything being peaceful and kinda safe, the whole world got shaken up in the third season. I knew it was called "Villians" but would really all your fave. characters go bad?
I think there is one thing, when you watch a series or a movie, when there's a "bad guy". You don't really know why he's (she, they) bad, he just IS and you just have to accept that and start to dislike him (or whatever). Because then you know who you should like and who should dislike (if it's not one of those bad/werid movies when the bad guys are so much cooler than the good guys). But when you first get tricked to like these good guys and then they go bad, what do you do?!

To be honest it didn't really surprise me that they would do something like that in Heroes. I think it's a great way to keep the series alive, but I can't feeling so down when your good veterans turn bad. I just can see it before me, Claire and Hiro going bad. And Mohinder by the way, he grossed me out in the first episode. UH! Maya have been this victim ever since her debut in Heroes, will it never end?! Feel kinda sorry for her..XD
I'm SO MAD at what they did to Nathan! Why is he this religious mad man? MY NATHAN! (lol) Well, I guess Tim Kring has a reason for that.....(he better!) Nathan survived because of Adams blood from the second season..right? Because...there is no Mr Linderman.

They've made me feel like we're stuck in this world of hopelessness and depression! When is Elle and Monica coming back?!?! XD But Matt in Africa is pretty funny though...:P

Well, I don't until new episodes. Tomorrow is the 4th episode! Don't Miss!

I LOVE these new character photos from the thrid season, they are genious.

A Random post for a change

Here goes a random kinda entry for a change, just because I'm in the mood. ;)

I've got freakishly much to do this weekend, or things I WANT to do. Math test monday-a must, or is it really? Is that my responsibility? A duty? Why do I have to? (See this is the kind of stuff I need to get out in Philosophy.I just can't, I'm totally failing this year...-_-)

My best friend in the entire world turned 17 this thursday and I kinda forgot. I totally fail as a best friend but I'll make it up to her, and that I must to this weekend before I get even more delayed! Pls tell her I'm thousand times SO SORRY! :(

I also got this idea of making tutorial videos for my Youtube. It would be fun and that the ones I watched in my beginner days were kinda confusing. So i'll make this for all you guys so in the future, newbie guitar players can be less confused. XD
Well, who said I won't make it confusing? Haha (this is me talking to myself), I PROMISE I'll do the best I can!
So what do you want as first song? SOS? Hold On? A Little bit Longer? First I thought SOS, because that was the song I began with and got most confused with. But then I also realized I started with the like the hardest song. XD ANYWAY, I don't know, I'll end up doing something utterly weird and awkward as I always do, keep checking ;)

BTW, HAPPY Swedish Camp Rock premiere! There have been so much commercial for the movie the last few weeks, crazy. I guess JB are getting bigger here and Disneychannel want to hail in more money (not that they need more).
Camp Rock is actually so much more nerdier than High School Musical XD. Well at least Camp Rock has 100 times better music... XD PLUS nothing in HSM (both of them!) can beat Jason (Kevins charachter) in Camp Rock. Give the man his damn birdhouse alright!! XD
OH, came to think of when I went to the cinema today (after a long day of school and an hour acting class) and wanted to buy tickets to HSM3, which I've seen are being sold in the newspapers and online. The old lady in the counter said it wasn't sold yet, because she couldn't find it on her computer. I was like I SAW IT IN THE FREAKIN' newspaper and then the other old lady said that must have mistaken, it must have been somthing else. BBLLLÖÖÖ! SO now I don't know anymore....

Hehe, what a loong random entry. The only reason I will stop writing is because I'm dead tired. So Goodnight and Goodbye!

What to, what to buy?

Sorry for not writing! I've been so lazy lately. XD

When I was suppossed to do my homework (home exam?) I was fantastically productive, with something else of course, I updated my CV so that I can start looking for work (again!), I deleted some old photos, read some other school stuff and then....for some reason I started to check up guitars online. It was model after another model. It was electric guitars! Acoustic guitars! Guitar sets! Man, I was stuck. I never thought I'd be this "OH look at that guitar" kinda person, but I guess I am. GEEE I want a new guitar so bad! :'(

Okej in order to understand my poll more, I'll show you some pictures.

1. 2. 3. 4.

1. I really like this new model of iPod nano. And for those who don't know: I have the very first model of iPod nano. It still works though, but it's SOO OOOLLD! XD Of the new ones I like the purple and the orange one best.
2. If I ever get an electric guitar it will be: Gibson SG FADEDWC! But 6000 SEK (about 860 $) it's still a bit much money and it doesn't come with an amplifier or anything. Besides I'm not that good at the gutiar yet!
3. I really want a new acoustic guitar. Mine is so worn out! :( (This has steel strings!)
4. A cheaper electric guitar, and I guess it's better for a beginner like me since it comes with all the stuff. But still this is not the one I really want. XD

Soon HSM 3 folks! Swedish people, get your tickets today! ;)
