Animal lover... really?

Most people call themselves 'animal lovers'. Because it's a nice description of someone who is in connection with nature, humble, loving and caring. Four weeks ago a little bunny was born in Germany. The zoo keepers immediately wanted him to replace another cute animal, a polar bear named Knut, who died in 2011. The thing that was so special about this bunny, Til, was that he had no ears. Can you imagine? A tiny, fluffy cutiepie with a disability? How adorable is that. More innocent than anything! So of course there was a press conference set up about a week ago to introduce this little creature to the world. So that everyone who had once completely fallen for Knut, could now fall for Til. But what happens?
Well, a camera guy accidently took a step back without seeing that Til was standing there. He died immediately. This whole incident is extremely sad and I feel bad for both the camera guy and the little bunny. 

But here is the thing. This happens every single day in pretty much every persons home. Not with bunnies, but with animals. I am happy to say that my conscience stands clear from this, but so many other people kill bugs each day. They kill these wonderful creatures who are absolutely beautiful in their own way! The lady who showed up in Swedish TV with unshaved armpits was being bullied online for several days just because she was considered ugly and gross. But when people stepped up and defended her and made others look at her as an actual human being, things changed. People realised that there was more to her than just a shell. Just like there is more to an insect than just an 'ugly' surface. It breaks my heart when people kill ants, spiders and flies. These animals have been here for much longer than us, so what gives us the right to come into THEIR world and just take over? The actress Lisa Kudrow recently stated in an interview that "Mankind hasn’t been very kind to itself" and it's true. We got here after the insects and yet, we're killing ourselves off when we could actually learn fom the ants, spiders and flies how to survive. But instead we say "we're going down and you're going down with us!". Because we are too damn proud to realise that something smaller than us can actually be smarter than us.

You're not an animal lover when you only love the cute and fluffy creatures

Billy Idol to Peace & Love 2012




















YEEEEES!!!! I am SO happy that no one bought my ticket for the Peace & Love festival. Billy Idol announced today that he'll be performing there on the 29th of June. Me and Kiki have said that we have to see him if he comes to Sweden this year, so I really hope she can come with me. It's so worth going to Borlänge just for this. He may not be the what he once was, but s legend is a legend. So now that I have a four day ticket I might as well see some more artists, if someone will come with me that is. Rihanna, Regina Spektor, Kent, Veronica Maggio, Hoffmaestro, Hardcore Superstar.... sure, why not. And hopefully some more interesting artists will be announced soon!

You make me wanna lala

I was just reminded that I was once a pretty big Ashlee Simpson fan, believe it or not.
And I still think these songs rocks....

La la

Autobiography
I walked a thousand miles while everyone was asleep
Nobody's really seen my million subtleties

Love me for me
Shut up, come back
No I didn't really mean to say that
I'm mixed up, so what
Yeah you want me so you're messed up too
I love you, I hate you
If you only knew what I've been through

My head is spinnin'

But my heart is in the right place
Sometimes it has to have itself a little earthquake

She lives in a fairy tale

I feel pretty drained from this weekend. Not much has happened though. I went to Casablanca's release party on Saturday, but that is pretty much it. I ended up going home early, I just weren't in a party kind of mood I guess. But everyone else had a good time, so in that sense it was a success.

Anna, Me and Alex at Heaven's Gate

I just miss having my closest friends around. Those who can make me go on partying for an entire night without feeling exhausted. Those who I can talk to about everything. Those who make me understand that I'm not crazy for feeling or thinking in certain ways, I'm just human. To make matters worse my sister is moving from home in a week. She got a job so she is moving waaaay up north in Sweden to live there with her boyfriend. I'm happy that things are going well for her, I'll just miss her a lot. Going to events and doing things that are supposed to be fun, aren't that fun when your closest friends and family aren't there. No wonder I rather stay at home. The things I am looking forward to right now is that Viper will be coming here in April. She'll stay here for a couple of days and then we will drive up to Avesta to support our friend Jesper with his rock festival. He has booked some really great bands, including Sister, so I'm sure it'll be a great night!
Another thing I have to look forward to is Huddinge festival. I'll just go there for one day in June, but Crashdïet is playing and as you all know, I consider them to be the best.

Now I'm going to try and make sense out of Facebook's new page profiles. I guess we'll get some sort of timeline there as well. Just gotta update the Casablanca, Roxie77 and Gibson Scandinavia pages with some stuff. I honestly love doing things like that, it takes my mind off things!

She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind

Well, if it's not real

You can't hold it in your hands
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah

4 fun facts about me

¤ The worst pickup line I've ever gotten is "What is evil to you?"...

¤ I was named after the character Caroline in the soap opera The bold and the 
beautiful... dear lord....

Caroline & Ridge

¤ I'm not particularly fond of people who make a debate out of exactly everything.

¤ As a child I flushed my favourite pair of shorts down the toilet because I was pissed off at my parents. Well guess who ended up being the most upset about losing those Winne the Pooh-shorts?

Fair warning - Heart on the run

Just a song that I ran into on YouTube a couple of days ago. It's the kind of song that rocks my world.
