Nouveau Layout

NEW LAYOUT! I've thought of changing for a while but been so lazy. XD I thought of having a seasonal layout, right in time for x-mas :D And don't forget to check out my new feature song! Makes me feel like x-mas already :)
I must say I'm into the x-mas mood right now. Can't believe it's only (?!) 3 weeks until schoolbreak, hohoho! I'm SOOOO ready for break and x-mas!

I've been constantly playing (singing) Disney Sing it, it makes my throat sore but I can't stop singing. XD Me and my sister have so much fun with Miley Cyrus "See you again", because she's so silly and it's so fun to make fun of her. XD "I got my sight set on you and I'm ready to aim..!"
The thing with singing TV games is that eventually you'll like songs you didn't before or haven't heard before. (positive and negative I must say). Like I've decided to check out Aly and Aj more and I keep having "Like Woah" in my head.

What's up with that anyway? Songs you absolutely didn't like when you first heard it but when you happen to listen to it 3-4 more times you start to think otherwise, hmmm this is not so bad after all. This song happened to me recently;

There are so much I want to blog about but I have so much to catch up on, like playing the guitar and upload new vids. :D:D

Kid back in the future


That's right I'm back in the future. One hour into the future....

In one way this trip has passed incredibly fast, I remember like yesterday when we came to the apratment for the first time, but then I must admit that during the second week it felt like we've been there forever.
But now I'm back and I feel like I've grown, literally the ceiling was so high in that aprtment that I felt like a giant when I came stepped into ours. XD But I've experienced how to save money on food, how to cook on a gas oven, how to cook for myself and others and so on. Experiences people need if they want to live on their own one day.

It was still a bit snow when I came back and the cold is something else, down here. XD I ate (good food!) and then unpacked my 21kg suitcase, but at that time only 18kg because I had to unpack some stuff at the airport because they wouldn't let me have this one single kg too much! I had actually bought quite much stuff; CDs, DVDs, clothes, calenders, souvenirs, shoes, accessories and more, how will I afford x-mas this year?!
Me and my sister couldn't resist playing my new bought Wii game "Disney Sing It" (with Camp Rock's Play My Music!) 11 o'clock in the evening. It was awesome! There are like only 3 songs we sing in the game; This is Me, Gotta find you and Play my music from Camp Rock. Haha, still it's much awesome.
Most of all, I've figured by now, I've missed singing out loud and wearing skirts. And my guitar is so wonderful!!! :')

We didn't have classes today and I went to the university fair thing in town. I'm glad I had looked up information before I went because then I knew where to go and where to not waste my time. And I could better get the information I wanted when I asked. I didn't even realized that I've been there for almost 3 hours after I've done asking at the stands which I was interested in. Oh my!
I'm a person with a goal now! YES! XD Right now the future seems to take me to either: London, Kalmar, Jönköping or Borås.
OH YEAH!

Goodbye, Edinburgh


Monday, 24 November 2008

We will work this out! [edited]

All hail the Jonas Brothers!

Jonas Brothers won the Breakthrough Artist award at the American Music awards last night! Woohoo!
We finally did it right (in your face Paramore XD), I knew we could do it!! I'd like to give a high five to all the loyal fans out there and expecially thanks for YOUR votes. :)
They also did a performance at the awards, playing "Tonight". I'm glad they did something new, Lovebug wouldn't quite fit he AMAS. XD Here is the performance anyway:




[edited] WATCH also the amazing moment when they won the award, presented by Ashley Tisdale (made mistakes several times XD). Haha, it seems though the thank you speech was a bit improvised from the boys.


Okej guys, it's the last whole day in Edinburgh now. I have to finish packing, which btw is very hard because i've bought so much and my suitcase is far to small. I still have to buy that "Pushing Daisies" DVD box, so Good Luck for me. XD


See Ya !

Don't forget.

Why is it so hard?

Something quite peculiar happened to me yesterday. Well something that shouldn't be strange , but sure is for some people, people like me.

I was talking to a friend of mine on MSN Messenger, or friend? What do you call us?
I don't know why but it feels like we don't have a mutual (tyda.se) friendship. Is it because of the age difference? I've never seen her as so much younger than me, as she actually is. Because she is like the coolest kid I know and we share so many interests together. It might sound odd and it is a bit odd but I love hanging with her and we always come up with crazy things to do, but it seems like there's this constant wall between us. Maybe we both feel a bit awkward because of the age difference or maybe it's all in my head. But why do I feel like I can never get to her, it's like she won't let me. And it seems to me that between her and my (younger) sister things are great, was it easier to accept her?

I've been thinking that, well maybe this is just the way it is. People stay with people in their own age or else it seems weird or even wrong. So hey, stop thinking about the friendship that could have been great. Forget it...

And yesterday I guess I just got annoyed by the way she usually acts; play-ful, open minded and silly. Everything I wish I could be. I snapped. I told her I thought it was annoying her being that way and I tried to be so grown-up and tell her off. I don't know how she really reacted to that but I guess she was crossed, angry. And I felt that she had no right in the world to be cross because I am the one who should be crossed, she was being a baby. And that was the one time I really thought of her in her being younger and being immature.

After a while I figured what a pig-head I've been. And for once in a very long time I felt genuinly sorry for what I've done. I don't regret of what I did, because it really made me realize that it is not so hard to forgive and hope that the other person does the same. It is not that hard..

Why am I always like this? I act like a jerk with people that curious enough likes to be with me. I always do this, notice a person's flaws and keep thinking of that person with that flaw(s). I guess it makes me feel....stronger. It feels like I have that person all figured out and that I'm the one who knows everything.
This is how I destroyed a great friendship in 6th grade and wasn't even aware of it. And I regret it until this very day.....

Don't forget, to forget.

Look at a tree (while it lasts...)

Look who I saw on TV today.. ;)
This was on the Brittish MTV (TMF which stands for..?), today. A hitlist by the Jonas boys :) "Jonas Brothers' We are family: Top 10". Most definitely awesome! Too bad they didn't rank themselves more, he he he. XD They didn't do much, sat on the sofa presenting all the songs (reading rolling text that is..) but that was all they had to do to make my day! :)

This was the list:
10. Mmbop-Hanson
9. Potential Break-up song-Aly and AJ
8. Pure Shores-All Saints
7. I believe in a thing called love-The Darkness
6. Changes-Kelly and Ozzy Osbourne
5. Anything-3T
4. Don't look back at anger-Oasis
3. Teenager-My Chemical Romance
2. I want you back-Jackson 5
1. Burnin' Up-Jonas Brothers

And then they played Lovebug ! (L O V E !) Awesome! I've seen it total 3 times (on tv) now in Edinburgh and yet hoping to see more before I go home. :P

I also went to the "Royal Botanic Garden" by myself today, (mähähä) to look at some trees. I went mostly because I needed a walk but I've also seen some pictures of it and it was quite nice. So I took the map and I were off, gladly it wasn't as far as i thought. There I was woundering around taking pictures, enjoying life and nature and eating raisins. It was really relaxing and nice.
Oh and plus, I heard some random wannabe goth girl suddenly burst out in singing "Scream". How awesome isn't that? XD I didn't realize which song she sang until I'd passed her and couldn't join her song, it would have been fun! :P
Toodles!

Vote and Photos




And btw, me and Kajsa went to the Scottish Parliament yesterday. Wouldn't you like to hang these in your tree?
Joy to the world!

Come on guys, this is the last day now!!

Let me tell you something..

Joooyyy to the woorrld....

There are some things you need to know about Englishmen (or maybe Scots) in general. It might sound like stereotyping, and probablywill, but see for yourself ;)

1. They L O V E Christmas.
Or they most certainly prepare for it early enough. When we arrived the 5th of November, I thought we've somehow moved into the future, is it Christmas eve already? All the shopping windows were full of glitter, presents, "Give someone something special this x-mas" signs. But I didn't thought more about that, maybe it's just the stores that want to attract tourists or something. Not more than 2 days later (7th Nov. that is), we step into Starbucks. What music do we hear? Christmas carols, of course! (Oh, we just forgot it was only more than a month until x-mas!) It was "Iiii'm dreeeeaaaming of a whiiiite christmas" on high and all the employees ran around in santa hats! Plus, if you haven't noticed on my previous photo the Starbuck cups are all christmasy red and stuff.
Can you then imagen me sitting and studying two days in a row in Starbucks, I feakin' knew all the christmas songs in the world after that! :P


That's not even the worst part. Exactly 4 days after, Didrik and I walk around in town and suddenly stands face to face with this building (photo 1). Not only does it make you feel like you've come to Santa's house but they also had this artificial snow coming down from the roof. So when we passed the building flakes of foam fell down on us. I'm not kidding, FOAM SNOW! (How desperate can you get..)
I'm sorry I don't have photos to prove this but, believe me in true. I've counted up to more than 5 stores that even from outside looks like they ONLY sell christmas stuff. It's like Santas workshop exploded all over their shop window. There are ornaments, cards, tea, cookies, gifts, food, towels, curtains and the list will go on forever, how much does these people need? And it wouldn't surprise me if those shops were closed during the rest of the year, they looked authentic!
Okej to make a long story short (short?!), there are christmas everywhere you turn. You can run but you can't hide.

2. They can't drive
Well most of you must know that they drive on the other side of the road here, right-hand traffic. It's like the Englishmen feel they are not special enough if they drive on the right (correct!) side of the road...like what? XD But that's kinda okej when you get used to it, only their whole system is messed up!
Let's say you and your friend are walking on a street and a crossing comes up. There are cars that wants to pass from the right-hand side. Your friend walks about 1 metre before you, passes before the car a couple metres before it passes the crossing. Evidently the driver sees you as you want to cross a half second later but does he let you? If your in Sweden of course but if you're here the driver will floor the gas and you have to quickly jump left and back if you still want to live. And this have happened to me let's say more than once. NOTE: drivers are crazy.

About their redlights. They don't have a system for those! First you'll push the button so that W A I T lights up, then you'll wait. The cars will stop because they have red light too. But why do you still stand still before the crossing? Because it's not green! (and we've learned not to cross just like that!) You wait, the drivers wait.... Sometimes both of you will wait for so long that you'll burst into laughter, like what the hell are we waiting for?!
Then like in a zillions years you'll hear this deafening peeping sound that indicates "Walk fast, idiot" because you only have 3 seconds to pass.

3. They love Hannah Montana more than Miley Cyrus love herself
Not only that I despise her so much and thinks she's pathetic but she has to be all up my face too. You will not believe all the stuff they have of Hannah Montana here. Say one thing, ONE THING (object) that comes into your mind and I can almost swear that there is a Hannah Montana verision of it here.
It doesn't matter if you're in the clothes store, bookstore, grocery store or whatever store, she will be there! You maybe think well there are pretty much Hannah Montana stuff in Sweden too. NO, believe me. Even if you walk into some random-arabic-1 pound-store you'll find her on something. Like this:
This was like the shabbiest, most untidy, "pound stretcher" shop I've ever been into, even they will provide you with products to quench you Hannah thirst.
Or why not wait for christmas with your very own Hannah Montana chocolate calender?!


A piece of Hannah anyone?

You will see mothers carry around Hannah Montana backpacks! (Mostly for their 3 year old girl but anyway) I've seen Hannah Montana TV's, underwear, barbie dolls, christmas cards, balloons, whatever object that can have a theme have Hannah Montana. I'm sure they'll sell Hannah Montana cakes and rice soon. Just you watch!

4. What they'll ever do is queue
Random question, what do englishmen do? Answer queue you'll have 90% of it covered. Whatever they do is to queue. You will not find ONE single (bigger) store that doesn't have a organized area for queueing, there might be fancy bands with a "Queue starts here" sign or shelfs with with their products and a sign that says "Please wait here". Even their busstops and bus shelters are built in a way that forces people to stand in a line. Like come on! XD

This is one day, to a regular play:
Really this is only the beginning of the queue. When we first saw them I swear I thought they were giving away free food or something. This queue was insane!

This was a long post, obviously. I'm all tired just wiritng it. Gonna sleep. KEEP VOTING: http://abc.go.com/primetime/ama/index?pn=tmobilevote :)

Pre-Post :)



Keep pushing the f5 button! I'll know on Sunday if you did... *threatful*

Poll, Song and the Starbuck


Good news, people, good news! I'm done with my novell! (Congrats Manda ;) I must add things and names I didn't at the time but I'm done! (Have to type it on the computer too but yeah..)
The photo is me writing the last part at Starbuck with my Very berry scone :P If I keep studying at Starbucks it will be very much expensive, so I' glad I'm done with the novell :P
Now I just have the religion presentation, french book, math, psychology pages, my lines for my acting lessons to study. No match.......not at all. XD

About the Poll; I must say I'm quite sad that there's not more people that participate in them XD But yeah I'm glad there are at least 8 people that does :) I think I must do better questions :P
I actually thought more people would vote the non Jonas songs for me to learn but I guess that's a good thing for me. Most of you liked "Play My Music", it's not a very easy song to sing but I'll do my best I swear. I'm on my way to learn the interact thing (bridge) for Lovebug and I really want to learn "A Lonely September" by Plain White T's too. I'll be much glad to come home to my guitar. I didn't think guitar could be worse than mine, but evidently there are, like the one in this apartment. Old like a cryptkeeper. XD

And then there was about my new feature song, I don't think any of you listened to my old one but. XD This is the 30 sec. preview of the real studio verision of Jonas Brothers song "Move On". The song in studio verision is impossible to get and I'm getting so anxious the mroe I lsiten to the preview because I love it so much. This is absolutely the song I want the most to end on one of the albums even more than Eternity and Kung Fu Grip.


Look here comes the sun, but it was freakin' much wind today :P

SUPERcalifragilisticexpialidocious

HAYA! The days are getting less and less here in Edinburgh, now it's exactly one week left.

Me and the girls went to the theatre yesterday evening. We saw Mary Poppins, the musical. It's not like it's something I always wanted to se but this musical totally blew me away. First off we got a reduced price because we were "students" (even though I hadn't my studentcard, quick look at my ID sure made it :P) and got good seats.
I didn't know what to expect really, I've seen the movie though (long time ago). I fell in love in the very first second seeing the absolutely stunning set and the two children who played Jane and Michael Banks were simply adorable (quite talented for that matter). The boy, who plays Michael, couldn't be more than 9 years old and had this amazing (British) voice and acting skills. It just really hit me that this is how Nick started out, on broadway, on the scene. :)

Maybe I haven't been to much musicals but the set of this play was incredible! The house, the bank, the street that came forward and all the sliding furnitures- AHmazing!
There were not one dull second of the show, eitehr I was blown away by the colourful and great costumes, the stunning singing and dance performances or the childrens' acting.

It's so much more alive when it's musical (than movie) and it feels almost for real. There were also thiings in the play I really liked that is not in the movie. Like "Mary+Bert=true" part of the story and when Nanny Andrew's comes. You just get carried away watching it and I'm not ashamed to say I burst into tears more than once. I couldn't help smiling and feel happy during the play, it touches you in that way.

You don't have to be a child or a Mary Poppins fan to adore this play. It's practically perfect ;)


FYI, I've had "Chim chim cher-ee" in my head the whole day :P


Something I had to buy to remember my awesome time (cost a fortune but so worth it)


Otherwise I've been in town today. Studying in Starbucks and strolling around, quite nice actually :)

Why people drink out

Hello to you all early risers out there (early...?XD). Long time no see.
I haven't been up to much lately mostly done homework (writing that stinckin' novel of mine) and we also went out one night, last saturday. (two days ago)

Here you got a photo of the Elephant house btw. It's a café here in Edinburgh, quite famous. If I saw Harry Potter does it ring any bells? XD Okej anyway, JK Rowling was said to sit right in this very café when the idea of Harry Potter was born. The café has taken this as a major publicity stunt (there are articles and stuff everywhere XD). The café was really nice, crowded though,but nice.

About Saturday, we went out this youth place called Lava Ignite (which by the way no one here calls it, it has millions of nicknames) to celebrate one of our friend's 18th B-day. I got myself pumped up with listening to Jonas Brothers on loud (the others did not...:P). The taxi ride there got quite expensive because I forgot my ID and we had to go back (WHAT?! XD).

I know why people drink so much at these places now, it's because they can go out and dance, even if they can't, and don't care that they embarrass themselves (because they think no one sees them XD). Me personally had a great time on the dancefloor observing those drunk people dancing away. XD
I msut say the music on the place wasn't really great. They had dance or remixed current songs, so even when they had normal songs it sound like dance beacuse of the remix. XD But of course there were some good songs to dance to. Like Pussycat Dolls' "When I grow up" and SouljaBoy's "Crank that". Haha when Soulja boy came up it just cracked me up and I just had to dance. XD Man, Crank that forever ! ;)

Then of course I lost my ticket for the wardrobe and they just "couldn't find" my brown, H&M, with pink lines, size 40 jacket. They told me to come back tomorrow which resulted that I walked in a t-shirt a half mile to the taxi. Freezing, I could borrow Didriks jacket though so it was fine. I called them first thing in the morning and told me to come around 9 and 10 (evening) to get it. So there I was, wandereing around the whole day thinking that they might have lost my jacket somehow, or given to someone else, or no it's a cheap H&M jacket who wants that, or don't worry it's going to be there. It didn't help either when Kajsa said; what if you can't get your jacket back and stuff. Like thanks! XD

I had to really buckle up with clothes when I started my long journey to the club (about 2-3 km from our apartment) in the dark. First I turned off in the wrong street and I thought that what else in the wold could wrong, luckily I went back and finally found it. I recognized one of the girls standing outside smoking from yesterday and told her how everything was. She told me to wait before she finish smoking so she could get someone to find the jacket for me, and she did. I had to describe the jacket for the 1000nd time. Those dreadful 5 minutes waiting outside, I just mademyself not think about what would happen next. Then another girl came out and she had my jacket. Thank you! And so my journey back begun and nothing much dramatic happend.


Calling all Jonas Supporters, it's American Music Awards this Sunday and the boys are nominated for Breakthrough Artist. Let's get them winning (not second place) this time!

It's P U S H

Talk about mega awesome. XD Camilla Belle, ftw!

Inverness

Hi there. As you maybe remember I said we'd do this sightseeing/museum day teh day before yesterday (...), that was quite interesting actually but I guess going to Inverness would beat that. XD

So the train from Edinburgh Waverely (muahhaha Jenny ;) would depart at 6.40 and I got up at 5.20. But surprisingly it wasn't that hard to get up, I was then dead tired at the train but that's another story XD.
We had to change train once in Perth (photo 1) but otherwise the trip was quite pleasant.

We arrived in Inverness about 10.30 and we went straight to the tourist info centre to make our first interview. The bus for Drumnadrochit would leave at 11.30 so we had a bit of time to go around in the city. Inverness is a really nice quite modern city, for being a small city it still had great shopping. (Mahaha, they had Primark I mean Edinbrugh doesn't even have that! XD)

11.30 we took the local bus out to Drumnadrochit. It's here where the Loch Ness monster exhibition is. When we arrived in Drumnadrochit it we got ourselves quite a shock. I knew personally that it wasn't a big city, but I thought it was like a small town.
No people, Drumnadrochit is the village is all villages, or if you even can call it a village since it's so small. It was literally 6 houses along the freeway and a supermarket. Then a big up from there was the hotel and Loch Ness exhibition centre. We joke alot about that Svedala (suburb to Malmö) is the country, but that is like a metropolitan compared to this hole (håla XD).

4 of the 6 houses in Drumnadrochit

We had an interview 2 o'clock so we thought that we'd hand out the questionnaries until then. But as deserted this "village" was (så hålig som denna hålan var) there were not much people. So we had to jump at every single person we saw, at most I think we were up at 5 people per hour. Then it started to rain, it was dreadful! XD
It somehow managed to stand it until 2 o'clock when we got in contact with our interview person by phone. He was still a bit busy so he recommended us to watch (take,go) the exhibition for the present. We went in, it was dark and scary. There were 6 different rooms and in each there was a video to watch, it wasn't more than that. Afterwards we finally did the interview and the guy was very nice and helpful. when we were done we realized it wasn't until more than an hour to the next bus back to Inverness. So we had to sit and mould at the café for 1 hour.


When we left the hole of all holes, 15.55, we had 26 filled questionnaires, which I'm still surprised that we managed to get. The remaining 4 questionnaires we handed out in Inverness (the civilization). So now we had about 5 hours before the departure (20.10) of the train back to Edinburgh. I was glad that we could do shopping the rest of the time now. But I had to rethink that when the shops closed at 7 and my feet ached. we waited around in the trainstation for more than one hour before boarding. Dreadful.

From there it was another 4 hours before coming home. All in all, it was a quite pleasant trip. we got to see the Loch ness, the Scottish stereotype landscape, snow, a very nice city (Inverness) and did some great shopping. It was much tiring but nice. :)


Inverness by night

New Poll!

About the poll, it's kinda funny that most of you guys' guilty pleasure is Jonas Brothers. I mean, that is my ONLY pleasure. XD JB is pretty much my life now and there is no part of me whatsoever that is ashamed of that. It's not like I tell everyone I see that I love Jonas Brothers, mostly because I'm usually a person that don't go around and tell people stuff if they haven't asked me first.
But really what's so embarrassing about Jonas Brothers? XD

I'm however glad nobody voted Miley/Hannah as their guilty pleasure, I might have end the relationship we had ;) (jk)

I'm sry I haven't written the past few days, much have been going on and I can't wait to tell you. 3 (of 5) of us went to Inverness and Drumnadrochit today. Long journey, long journey. I woke up around 5 today and just got home. I'll get some sleep and I'll tell you more :D

Here's a sneak peek:


Arriving at the trainstation in Inverness around 10 o'clock

Ally stay with Dirk!


Oh geesh, this really reminds me of why I love the boys so much.

T H E Y A R E P L A I N A W E S O M E

This is not just something for JB fans out there (well mostly) or people who enjoys great humour in general (Joe is the ultimate!) XD. Attention Swedish inhabitans, Marabou Mjölk choklad have reached the boys. It's pretty awesome how Kevin tries to pronounce it and Joe tries to open it. XD Must be great for those who sent it, I salute you! :)

The video reminds me of how much I've missed them and love them. I'm glad that they're still awesome and cares for us even in busy times. :D

Don't lose faith, fans! :)

I don't think I've laughed that hard for a long time now, like stomach ache! XD
"Joe, why are you wearing a helmet?"
"Why aren't you wearing a helmet"
"Good point"

"So Ally, you're supposed to date Derek"
"It's Dirk"
"I don't know, Derek"

OH MY, this just made my day. I love you boys! :D

Pink goo, yum!


Bird looking for love outside St Giles church


Night blogging.

The day has been quite up and down. I finally came up with an idea to my novel, the weather was kinda nice, me and Didrik went out and ended up woundering around aimlessly through half of Edinburgh. It was really interessting though to see new parts of the city, it is after all a very (very) nice city. :D Then we had trouble with the tickets to Inverness and all the problems made me almost give up everything, but fortunately we fixed it and we have even fetched the tickets.
We made "lasagne" today. It was the first time for any of us to make lasagne. First of all the kitchen tools here are different and worse then the ones you ahve at home and secondly english food ingredients are not the same as Swedish, I mean they evidently don't have crushed tomoatoes, and what is the English word for matlagningsgrädde and keso, huh? XD The "lasange" ended up looking like pink goo....but it was edible :P

I think we'll do more sightseeing and maybe even go to some museums tomorrow. Have to be well-rested then for another day of walking :D I'm so glad we live (relatively) central XD




The architecture in Edinburgh has a great contrast, it's quite cool.

Home sweet home

Here I am breakfast blogging again. XD What's up anyway? How's everything back in Sweden? :P

It was yesterday evening, for once I felt a bit homesick. We went with our teacher to eat at a chinese restaurant, and one of the owners spoke cantonese (what I speak at home). I really missed chinese food and just for the sake of feeling better I even ordered duck. Ah, it felt like it was so long time ago! :D And for once in a long time I was really full.
And Jenny, if you read this tell mum I miss her cooking! XD

Otherwise it's been stormy (very!) over here. Me and Kajsa could hardly walk to the supermarket yesterday. It's almost crazy that we must buy food everyday, mostly bread and juice. XD And that is one of the excuses I use to sit in, almost the whole day.
I would like to discover more of Edinburgh, just not when it's freezing or very windy. Maybe a day like today...
And lastly, guys I haven't forgotten to send you postcards. I'm just waiting with writing until when there are a few more things to write about. :D I miss you guys! :)


A windy day

Gueesss....

How many people lives here?

(It's laundry tomorrow, should be interesting.... )

Hello Sunshine

Haya Edinburgh calling! XD

Would you look at that ? We're having sunshine! But as I'm writing this the clouds' are coming. (took the picture just 5 minutes ago XD) It's great while it lasts. :D

Right now I'm sitting in front of the TV watching the 50 greatest Movie songs. OH YEAH! XD Breaking Free from HSM came into the 50th place. XD but really there are some really good songs. :D
Music television is the shit ! XD (it's pretty much everything I do over here ...XD)

I must do something soon....like Math or the Sweidsh novel (I don't even what do write about), just after these 50 greatest movie songs XD Huhuhu..

Picture of Edinburgh Castle from Princes Street :D

A lonely Starbuck

D'you know what? I have two papercuts on my left-hand finger, just along side each other. How did that happen?

Okej something less random, what about my day today? XD

I woke up automatically around 8 today, figured that non of the others had so I decided to stay in my room. I read a little, watched some Gaelic cartoons on TV.
After noon we went out to actually work on you project. We gave out some questionnaries to tourists (our project's about scottish tourism á la loch ness monster). It was quite funny really, met a lot of french people, some chineses (spoke a bit with them ! XD) and other very nice people. When we were done we split up to go shop and so on. Me and the guys sat down at Starbucks. The Hazelnut hot chocolate is HEAVENLY! Oh my. XD
Then we strolled around and shoped. Well, we went into Topshop and I went to the womens clothes and they to the mens. I couldn't find them afterwards (apparently were they in the changing rooms XD), so there I was strolling down in Edinburgh by myself with my Starbuck mug. I found my favourite shoe stores, Schuh and Office. :D:D I.want.to.buy.must.save.money. XD We met however by chance and we went on together. We found some very cheap movie and CD stores! Quite awesome :D

Morning at Waverley.

No talk, just watch

NO TALK. Jonas Brothers came in second place for New Act on EMA. Crap. No talk.

Watch some pictures instead.

Scotsman playing the bagpipes. Bagpipe sound is seriously the most horrible thing.



Strolling down the Royal mile.

The fog getting thick at Princes street.

Late shopping at Princes Street. So much to buy so much money to save. XD

JONAS

Haya guys! A Jonas update!

It's the European Music Awards today, which (if you've missed) Jonas Brothers are nominated for, in the category "Best New Act". They are unfortunately not performing but we all hope that they at least win the award, as much as I have voted! XD I'll get disappointed otherwise. :(
It's 9PM (Brittish time, so 10PM in Sweden) on MTV. DON'T MISS!

PLUS, I found this awesome first picture of "Jonas". Let me tell you more about it, I'm sure all of you know exactly what it is (duh! XD), but anyways. Here it goes.

"Jonas" is a new Disneychannel series with the Jonas Brothers (yes, including Frankie). The original idea for the show was that the brothers would double life as spies alongside popstars, they had even shot a pilot episode for that. Then it went a while (like a year) and they boys felt that they wanted to change the concept.
The show is now about the Lucas Brothers (awesome name XD) living a normallife at their street "Jonas". It's basically a normal show about the brothers life, coping with girls, school and fans. They'll have a lots of songs and humour. Just look at that picture, it is going to be awesome!


The show is premiering on Disneychannel around May and June next year.

Did you hear Jude law? (Happy B-day K2!)

Tuudelou! :D I'm here bloging from the apartment in Edinburgh. It's quite awesome, or let's put it this way: they had a freakin' guitar (I can live here forever now XD)
We have like everything (except a dvd XD), washing machine including powder and everything, dish washer with the soaptablet, piano, guitar (I even think they have a violin here), TV with 100 channels (but no MTV!), toaster, wireless internet (uh duh? XD), 4 single beds and one double, 2 front doors XD, yeah you get the picture.


We arrived around 4 PM (brittish time), took the bus like forever and finally arrived at the trainstation in Edinburgh city (Waverely railways station, hahah wizards! XD). Came out, welcomed with drizzle and my 1000 kilos luggage (plus laptop bag and a backpack) and then we walked.... We walked in a cold, rainy, dark city we've never been to quite aimlessly hoping to find the right way to the apartment. Luckily there were many nice people who helped along the way XD. We finally found it (with a lot of luck XD) and the landlady greeted us briefly (she msut have waited for a while...but she seemed really nice XD). We settled in (realized most of the things we bought was available) and then went out and ate pizza (polish, very full!). Then we bought breakfast at Tesco (loooove XD) and now we're here.

Btw, I realized a quite interesting thing. I don't know if it includes all airports but at least the one in Copenhagen (Kastrup). You know the voice in the speakers, not the ones about flights and requesting people to go to thier gates, but the one with general information like "don't leave your bag unattended". The male voice, IT IS JUDE LAW! XD I swear it sounds just like Jude Law, I'm convinced.
Don't believe me? GO and listen for yourself, it is him! XD


This is us, like now XD


My very own room. Nice and cozy. :D


By the way, I forgot to say Happy Birthday to one of the coolest persons alive (and best hugger for that matter), Kevin Jonas. He turns 21 today (he grows up so fast :'). I hope he had the best birthday yet and may all his wishes come true . :D

Ed-ed-Edinburgh

The weather for the nest 4 days in Edinburgh, Scotland. Not nice, I must say. Rain and fog, yyeess! XD I'm not finished packing yet (!!), everything just got so much delayed and I jsut did whatever I felt for and didn't take anything too seriously, which resulted in a suitcase not packed....UUgghh


I must tell you more about Luleå, or yeah I have tons of beautiful photos. Let's watch them and save words. XD


Luleå town centre. It felt like you're in the "Julkalendern" XD



Awesome view from the cottage. It's NOT as warm as it might look like.

Look what I found, even up in Luleå! XD S-s-snow!

Man, I'm dead-tired. Need to sleep. Need to get up. Need to pack. Edinburgh tormorrrow.
