Happy New Year!

I feel like I am the only one who is not running around getting myself glittered up for this evening. Some of my friends will go out to party and others will have dinner with their families. I'm just happy with taking it easy. Might sound boring but I was up at 7:30 am to study with Sofie but she overslept and I ended up studying on my own, even though I could hardly keep my eyes open. I'm proud over myself for that! After that I did some laundry so that I can sleep in newly washed sheets tonight. And I took a shower so now I feel super-fresh and calm :)

I haven't been blogging much this week because me and Sofie have been trying to catch up with school. It's not easy but we're getting there! Although we have managed to squeeze some fun in there too! I was babysitting the girls this Thursday so Sofie brought her two year old nephew and Kiki brought her three kids to Busborgen where we all met up. Busborgen is a huge room filled with lots of fun things for the kids to jump around and play on. There is plenty of entertainment in there for hours and hours and hours...haha! But eventually the kids started nagging about ice cream so we scrambled together a round table that barely fit nine people. Messy as hell, but what is life without a little craziness huh? ;)

This year was different

Did you do something this year that you've never done before?
- Yes, I took more chances and put myself in situations that I wasn't comfortable in. Just to find out that it was absolutely wonderful. I have been working on standing up for what I believe in. I'm not 100% there yet, but I'm working on it.

Do you have any new year resolutions?
- Not really. I have reached a point in my life where I feel like it's more important to make resolutions whenever you feel like it's time for it. Just go with the flow and take one step at a time. The only thing I have promised myself is to drag our big training bike up to my room tomorrow. No one else is using it and I think it's a great way to get in shape - watch TV while working out ;) Destraction is the main key for being able to keep on going :P

Did any of your friends become parents this year?
- Not that I can recall right now. Although a friend of mine will have a baby in the upcoming summer!

Which countries did you visit?
- Paris, France. Other than that I have been in Sweden.

What do you wish that you had done less?
- Held on to things that were doomed. And not seen things from a different perspective until I had crashed and burned.

Best memory from 2011?
- All of the gigs, rock n roll and friends... mostly Crashdïet memories that I will cherish forever. The trip to Paris is especially close to my heart. There I got an even bigger proof of how kind and accepting the rock n roll community really is. When people from all over the world greets each other as friends and create a bond even though they don't know each other.... that's power.

Best purchase?
- All of the Crashdïet merch of course, haha... that is basically half of my wardrobe.

What did you spend most money on?
- Concert tickets, hostels, train tickets... stuff like that.

Did something make you really happy?
-My friends, I hope ya'll know who you are. No matter if it's in the rock n roll community or not. Also, becoming a nanny to two wonderful girls who I have gotten really close to. They bring me so much joy and I love the whole family!

Were you happier or more sad this year compared to last year?
- A lot more happy. Maybe not all of the time. I have gone through some rough patches, but I have kept on being fine thanks to all of my wonderful friends who have the ability of making me feel fine with just words. Also music has been a great comfort to me. It has empowered me a whole lot.

Favourite TV-show?
- Oh man, can I only pick one? Screw that, I make my own rules.
Solsidan, The Vampire Diaries, The Big Bang Theory, Bondi Rescue, Cake Boss, Jersey Shore, Once upon a time and Who do you think you are?

Is there anything that you missed in 2011 that you want in 2012?
- Love and a relationship

What are you most looking forward to in 2012?
-Finishing yet another year of my education. Getting more and more independant. Travel more and seeing more gigs than ever. Seeing my friends more often.

The story of my life

Guns N Roses at their best

YouTube is full of all kinds of videos. But of course I tend to watch music videos and live performances of my favourite bands the most. For the past week I haven't been able to sleep until very early in the morning. Just because I have been free from school, I have stayed up all night.... simply because there was no rule telling me to do otherwise ;)
Which meant that I had all the time in the world to watch my favourite videos over and over again. What my favourite videos are depends on my mood but lately it has been these two. I feel like you need to watch the whole videos to understand how powerful they are. These are truly historical trademarks.

Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories

Blaah it feels like the whole world is dead, but everyone is of course still away celebrating Christmas. Even though I like being free from school, I miss the routine. Just knowing where everyone is and what I need to do. Tomorrow I have to be up quite early to study together with some friends. Of course you can never be totally free from school when you go to college, so we have been given a big assignment to do. I have two other big assignments to finish too but I'm being kind of lazy with those... I have promised myself to get rid of those before New Years. Haha well, keeping a promise to myself is easier said than done.

Looking forward to a calm New Years Eve though. There'll be no partying, I just want to be at home and take it easy just like I did as a kid. I remember sitting by the window all evening, with a blanket swept around me... eating salty peanuts. Haha.... always salty peanuts.

Now I know you better

Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy

If all I knew
Was that with you
I'd want someone to save me

It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love

Going a bit poodle tonight. Not that I am going out or anything. 

I'm just going poodle.
