Nope, we refuse to give up! This blog will stay alive! (also, thank you so much for your kind words on that other blog of yours, Emma! <3)
As it sometimes is, I have a whole lot going on that I could write about, and that might even be interesting, but that I don't really want to share with the entire internet.
So, what to write about then? I've started playing World of Warcraft again, for the... third time, I think. It's with that as it is with all computer/videogames I play, I'm not very good at it, but I think it's great fun. I don't really have any skill for gaming at all, but I just love it so, so much!
Almost wet my pants with exitement when the copy of Fable 3 that my brother had ordered arrived. Unfortunately I tend to get the urge to sit down by the xbox about the same times my brother does, and the console is his, so I haven't played it as much as I'd like.
Also I have a test coming up pretty soon about the history of Rome so I should probably stay clear from temptation during the coming week. (Yes, I am going to fail, but I need my little illusions).
I'm still loving my education a lot, and I've been doing well so far, if I may say so myself. However I am having quite the freak-out over this upcoming test because it is freakin' HUGE. I have a lot of stuff to cram into my head and I have a paralyzing fear that I won't be able to do it. And to add some flavour, my record so far looks like this: first test B, second test A, so if I can get another A I might get that for this entire term. That would rule of course, but it is making my nerves go all over the damn place, and I got plenty nervous the first two times as it was!
Anyways, wrapping this babbly little post up right about now, take care!

What to call this?
So, the blog no longer looks like crap, yaaay!
Through some heroic fiddling I managed to get it looking somewhat decent again, I truly am worthy of some sort of medal!
So glad to hear you got that job, eventhough I was too out of the loop to even know about your interview, dear Emma! I've been pretty much away from the internet, seeing as I've spent several days hanging out with a friend. It was actually really good for me, I think my brain needed a good long rest.
Now I just need to get my ass in gear and catch up with school, I've been waiting forever for all my books to arrive and now they're finally all here. Archaeology equals an awful lot of reading. No way am I going to get everything read for tomorrow's lecture, it's several chapters from several books, so it's just not happening unless I stay up late and I am way too tired to do that. Also, I am probably coming down with a cold.
Anyways, I'm going to go make some tea and get some of the reading done, though I'm not sure I'll get anything since the chronology is kind of messed up for me. Wish me luck I guess!

A long time ago...
I tried my hand a vlogging. It didn't turn out so well and I got scared away. Now I'm giving it another shot. It's a little scary.
I don't know what else to write, I kind of just wanted to share that. Sorry for not being more interesting this time, will try to do better next time xD
Check me out if you like

I'm back!
Hello, dear blog, dear readers, dear Emma.
I’m sorry it’s taken me such a long while to get back to writing here, but life has been happening all around me so I haven’t found the time to do this.
2010 is looking to be an odd year, but a good one. I need to cut some things out of my schedule so I get more time on my hands, because I’ve been really stressed out lately. These last couple of days were downright scary. Every morning I went back to sleep after waking up, and kept sleeping all day! Waking up at four in the afternoon, not quite sure how that happened, is not a pleasant feeling at all, I can tell you guys.
Right now I’m waiting for the wife to get home, she’s had a really rough day today, a big test and absolutely no sleep at all (I should know, I was keeping her company). We’re both absolutely knackered so this night’s activities will probably only be us chowing down on some fast-food before falling into a coma.
I’ll start wrapping things up now because I just acutely ran out of things to say. I promise I’ll be more interesting next time. I’ll finish with recommending you a really awesome book: Suite Scarlett, by Maureen Johnson. It’s witty and fun and manages to create characters that are really exceptional but still feel like real people that you can relate to and understand. It’s warm and welcoming and really draws you in. My only problem with it is that, like many books with teenage main characters, a lot of the plot evolves around people getting caught up in their own lies, and I have a real hard time tackling that kind of plot, but that is just personal preference and I still liked the characters enough to keep reading even when all I wanted was to give all of them a good smack.
So, Suite Scarlett, check it out!
Oh, and here is a little youtube clip that NEVER fails to both crack me up and piss me off at the same time. I mean, when you actually think about the fact that these lines are meant to be taken seriously, and probably were considered to be romantic at the time, then there is nothing funny about it at all, it’s just depressing. But still… I can’t help but laugh at it, because it’s just that stupid.

Merry Christmas!
Yes, I'm saying that already, mostly because I will be very busy starting just about now and might not have time or will to blog at all over the hoidays.
Í have no idea what to say about anything right now, a lot of stuff is happening but I can't really think of a good way to summarize it in text. I had a "test" today, a sort of mock application as preparation for when the time comes to try and get in to university. The "video" posted in the end of this post is me singing the same song I performed then, with the same awesome guitarist, it's been such a pleasure working with him. Tomorrow I get feedback on my performance, and let me tell you guys, I am nervous.
I have another consert coming up with the folk ensemble, we'll be having a workshop with a band called Ranarim and then we get to warm up the stage for them. It's a pretty big deal, because they are big here in Sweden in that genre. Check them out if you want: http://www.myspace.com/ranarim
I'm thinking about trying to make some sort of website for myself as a musician, but I don't really have anything to put on there so it would feel kind of silly at this point. I really want to start trying to market myself as a singer and get gigs, but I have no clue how I'm supposed to accomplish that. Mayb the charity concert one of my friends is organizing could be a step in the right direction, on the other hand I won't really be able to perform as a classical singer there since I probably won't have anyone to play the piano or anything else to support me. Oh well, I'll think of something. Please join the facebook group to support the project! http://www.facebook.com/pages/#/group.php?gid=179229353717
I think that will be it, and if I don't check in, I wish you all a lovely Christmas!

The fail is strong in this one
Okay peeps, this is how it is:
I have a life.
That's all the explanation I can offer you guys. I do stuff, meet up with the Rhinos quite a lot (the Piteå/Luleå NaNoers go by that name now)and wenesday I actually had a concert. Thankfully it went well, and now it's just on to the next one.
You see, november is very stressful. Not only am I swamped with NaNo (and I'm behind like shit now) but I also have a buttload of stuff in school and I don't really enjoy writing so much that I can live with only doing that in my spare time.
So when stuff gets like this, I don't think about updating blogs. I have called for complete radio silence on my LJ blog.
I should probably find someone who can fill in for me, but that is also not someting I'm really thinking about right now.
So I shall offer you guys a deal: I will try my hardest to manage the two posts a week I've said I will write, but if I fail I will at least attempt to make the posts I do remeber to post entertaining and about fun and interesting stuff.
That is my best offer, hope it's allright with you.
If any of you guys are into the environmental bit, here's a fun proect: http://www.loveletterstothefuture.com/
I probably won't remember to write one, but maybe some of you will? And maybe what you have to say can bring hope and inspiration to future generations? Who knows?
And it seems that I will be going to my very first Thanksgiving dinner this month, once of the Rhinos is Amercian and she felt like treating us all to food, which is awesome by me. Food is like... A god to me.
Quick List of Things Most Awesome
1. My girlfriend
2. My family
3. My friends
4. Food and sex
That is how much I love food (and yes, ranking fourth is HUGE, considering how much I love my girlfriend, family and friends).
I'll stop rambling for now, and leave you with this vid as a goodbye.

Fail
Okay, this week's fail is all my fault, I'm sorry. I've been really out of it. Sorry for being in the way of you making two post Emma.
I don't have much of a life these days, but I'm happier than before, even if I'm not sure if it shows. Hopefully I'll stay happy andn focused and not fall into depression again, because I like having energy.
NaNo of course is counteracting this in a major way since I feel like I hardly have time for anything but writing. It's gettin better now though, thankfully. (Note to Emma): I've actually gotten my own VPFPH up here now, since the Pite NaNoers are getting together on a regular basis to hang out and write. Fancy that, huh?
I went and listened in on a master class in singing held by my teacher today and I really learned a lot. It's amazing how much you can actually learn just by listening to someone else being instructed. Hopefully I'll be able to work some of the things I picked up into my own singing as well.
That's all for now, I think.

Let's not
I'll try my best to counter the NaNo-central effect, since it won't make for much fun reading if all we go on about is our wordcounts. Plus I am hating NaNo with a passion right now so I don't exactly feel like gushing about it anyway, but thank you ever so much for the encouragement Emma, you're a sweetheart as always.
I'm in school right now and I took this moment to do some blogging since I really don't have the energy to practise. I'll do it later, promise.
My teacher has me singing with a toothbrush in my mouth now to keep me from clenching my jaw, and believe it or not it actually works and singing does become easier. Of yourse if you try to sing lyrics with the toothbrush in it sounds pretty funny, but it gives the voice a really nice flow, for me at least, when I just sing on a vowel, like "aaah."
I am so tired, I stayed up way too late to crap out the days wordcount (NaNo shizzle) and a little more and now I just feel like curling up in a corner and dissappearing for a while, but that's not going to happen, and I'm kind of pissed off because there is this really exciting class this evening that I'm probably too tired to attend. So, ironically, the great creative happening that is NaNo has just put a HUGE hamper on my regular creative activities that I would probably have enjoyed a lot more than the typing-diahrrea that happened last night. Sitting up like that was dumb beyond all belief and has left me in a quite pissy mood today, so thanks a lot, me, for being such a complete dumbass. I also just spent a very long paragraph writing about NaNo, so much for my brilliant plans...
I had my first piano-lesson today and it was f-ing fantastic! I hadn't realised how much I've truly miseed playing the piano, and I've still got it in me too! I thought I'd forgotten just about everything, but I managed pretty well I think and it'll just get better in time.
Anyway, resident idiot checking out for now, I'll se you all later!

Sad
I'm sorry, as usual, you guys for not posting for a couple of days. I probably should have gotten a guest-blogger to stand in for me but I just haven't had the energy.
I'm sick at the moment, and pretty banged up mentally too. I have a consert tomorrow that I have no idea how to get through and I'm just feeling pretty untalented and useless at the moment. I'm not sure if I should ever have tried to study music, because I don't think I've ever felt this bad about singing.
I shouldn't have said yes to doing the consert tomorrow, but now I have no idea how to get out of it, or even if I can. I need rest. Thankfully I'll have a whole week off soon which is a great relief. I need to not be in school for a while.
I don't know what else to say so I'll just logg off now.

Tired
Hello folks, another week has begun!
I'm really tired and actually have a ton of studying to do tonight (I have a test tomorrow and as per usual I've been puttng studying for it off) but there is still plenty to be exited about this week!
1. We are getting a visit from a very good friend :D
2. I've gotten myself a gymcard so I'll try to get a hold of myself and start training. I really need it, the muscles in my back are not nearly as strong as they need to be for me to be able to sing effectively. Plus, all these yummy milkshakes my beloved keeps making are going to turn me into a human beach-ball if I don't start getting some exersize. I know that healthy food is the real key to stay slim, but I'd rather be happy than thin as log as I'm not unwell. I would not be happy without milkshake.
3. Singing went really well today I think, will sit down in a while and take notes on the recording from my individual lesson. The other singers where really sweet about me during the group lesson, they're awesome!
4. I've learned a song partly in Gaelic! Will record as soon as I have the guitar parts down pat. Am contemplating sending it to Tom Felton with a message along the lines of, "I'm singing in GAELIC and it's still easier to learn than your songs!" but that would probaby be a bad idea.
Well, I'll let that be all and stop procastrinating now, time to get cracking on those studies!

Tired
It is late late LATE and the reason that I'm still up is because my dearest girlfriend is up studying ad I can't be bothered with going to sleep, evethough I'm actually pretty tired.
I'm a litle sad too since my shoulder is messed up (probably from playing too much guitar) and I have to go see a naprapath tomorrow... or today really. Hopefully he can help me and gie some tips on how not to hurt myself, because I really love playing the guitar and it would be such a shame if I had to stop.
Right now I'm a little muddled so I don't really know what to say more, I'll just leave y'all with this incredibly charming music video!

Quickie
Oh, come on Emma, it's not that strange that I didn't know about Tom's music. I haven't been a Harry Potter fan for years and I have definitively not been that interested in the movies, so I wasn't really all that interested in Tom until he showed up in HBP all grown up and hot. I'm a bit of a sexist prick that way.
Objectifying of men aside I am in a bit of a hurry this time, I was working on my music theory homework for the past three lessons and I really needed a break so I decided to update this blog, but I need to get back to work real quick because I must go to bed soon too. It's all part of my plan to get some structure into my life. Let's all see how long I can keep it up, my guess is a couple of days.
I need to start getting in a couple of hours of singing practise a day, and when I start taking piano lessons I'm supposed to practise that too. Plus thw folk-singing I'm doing on the side (main subject bein classical music). I have no idea how to make it all fit together, and I relly don't want to have to let the folk-music go because it's so much fun.
Anyway, have to get back to work now, I'll leave you with the Legolas/Arwen vid that was actually the first one I saw, the one that opened my eyes to the epicness of the pairing.

Various things
Tom Felton makes music. I had no idea! A disturbing amount of male actors I like turns out to be making music as well... I wonder if it's some kind of sign. I have absolutely no idea what it would mean, but it could still be a sign!
And I have become a Legolas/Arwen shipper, which is really funny since I don't even like Lord of the rings that much. Okay, the movies kick absolute ass, but I've never bee a fan of the books. However, ONE youtube vid was all it took and suddenly I was totally in love with the pairing. The vid posted here is not that one, but another favourite of mine.
Have a good one!

Have no idea what to call this
Dear readers
Well Emma, I actualy adore the Twilight movie, so I don't hate you at all! I think it's wonderful and it's amongst my personal favourites, which is funny considering how bad I think the book is. The movie is to me the ultimate proof that there was actually not much wrong with the whole "high school girl falls in love with sparkling vampire" idea, it's just that Meyer didn't execute it very well, in my opinion.
Speaking of movies, here's a short list of some I've seen recently and what I (in short) think about them:
Repo, the genetic opera - A cool movie musical with interesting visuals, entertaining music (though not world class), and a pretty inventive story. Graverobber by far the character I liked the most. I would say most people can probbly find something to be amused by in this film, but it is probably best liked by those who want their cinematic art to be on te gothic side.
The dutchess - If you like period pieces you are in for a TREAT if you rent this stunning movie set in the 18th century. It is based on the life of a real person and gets pretty dark at times, but it is a captivating story framed by beautiful sets and costumes.
The spirit - Well... if you liked Sin city, chances are you'll like this one too. It's basically the same sort of movie, with an even weirder and more superhero like plot. I'm not sure myself what I think about it, but I didn't NOT enjoy watching it, so, as I said, if you like Sin City I suggest you check this one out too.
Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind - Hayao Miyazaki doing his thing. This might actually be my favourite of all his movies, and I strongly recommend it to any anime fan (psst, it's a GREAT movie to use if you want to show a newbie how much fun anime can be). It's beautifully animated, the story is more understandable in any Miyazaki movie I've seen except maybe Howl's moving castle, and that one he didn't think of himself. All in all, a great movie.
Well, that was all of them for now. On to the next subject!
Now, I really love Tarot. I mean, the cards are beautiful, and it's kind of peaceful to lay them out to answer a question. Someimes it can be pretty enlightening too, and at other times it is pretty useless. Like now. I asked what I should do to become more focused in my studies, and as far as I coul interpret the cards the answer was somethin along the lines of "just do it." Very helpful...
Seriously though, I am in deep, deep shit schoolwise. I just can seem to focus so all the practising I should be doing is NOT getting done, and I'm just feeling pretty lost at the moment.
Ofcourse it doesn't help that we've finally gotten our game consoles working and now have a ton ofvideo games to play. I mean, video games kicks practicing's ASS.
I think that is about all I have to say at the moment, take care of yourselves!

Well Emma, I actualy adore the Twilight movie, so I don't hate you at all! I think it's wonderful and it's amongst my personal favourites, which is funny considering how bad I think the book is. The movie is to me the ultimate proof that there was actually not much wrong with the whole "high school girl falls in love with sparkling vampire" idea, it's just that Meyer didn't execute it very well, in my opinion.
Speaking of movies, here's a short list of some I've seen recently and what I (in short) think about them:
Repo, the genetic opera - A cool movie musical with interesting visuals, entertaining music (though not world class), and a pretty inventive story. Graverobber by far the character I liked the most.

Hey!
WEEEEEEKEEEEEEEEEND!
Sorry, school's been a bit rough this week.
God, music can be so DULL sometimes. I keep getting the singing technique wrong so everything feel extremely uncomfprtable, not to mention the heaps of musical theory that I have to cram into my head, plus rythm and pitch. Yes peaople, I have lessons on rythm and pitch. Oh, and musical history, but I still have high hopes for that subject since history is fun. If I get really lucky we'll talk some about castrati singers, a subject that for some reason fascinates me.
Anyway, now it's weekend and I am happy, happy, happy! Me and the girlfriend made pizza (that tasted great) and then sat and watched 2001, A space odyssey on youtube. A guy at school said he liked it, and I remembered it as sucking ass so I decided to rewatch it again to see if maybe was just too young to get it the last time I saw it, but no, I still think it sucks. It was great fun to watch it with my beloved though, since snarking at bad movies can be very amusing.
Dunno what else to say right now because I'm really tired and will enjoy going to bed A LOT. There is a special magic in knowing that I won't have to get up in the morning.
G'night folks!

Shit!
Dear readers, and Emma
So sorry everyone! I've been pretty busy lately, and I'm still not used to not living with my parents. All those things that just sort of got taken care of before, now I have to do them.
Also, since I'm living with my girlfriend I sort of tend to do stuff together with her when there is time to spare, so the "me" time gets even more eaten. This is not a bad thing, I love spending time with my girlfriend, but it does make it a little more difficult to do all the stuff I used to do in my alone time.
Also, I've made a deal with a friend of mine saying that if she stops eating candy I will deliver her one chapter a week of her favourite fanfic (have I talked about this before? I don't know) so basicly whenever I do get some time write stuff, it's mostly that.
So there you have it peeps, I am slow because I am pretty busy right now, but I'll definitively try to update more frequently!
Love
Hanna

Phew!
Hey there everyone!
New school, new singing techniques, new pretty much everything!
There is just so much going on right now that I'm all exhausted (might also have something to do with the fact that I'm not getting enough sleep due to being and idiot and staying up). I really love my new school so far. For the first time I am truly enjoying myself whilst getting an education, and I'm starting to think that maybe music might be the thing for me after all.
You see, I have always been into music, and I do mean always, but lately I have been torn this way and that, trying to figure out what I really want. Anyway, this year will definitively answer the question "Do I want to work with music." We'll all have to wait and see to find out the answer.
Come visit us soon, Emma!

Rise of Legends
Dear readers
Today me and Lotten bought a new computer game, Rise of Legends, and it so many kinds of awesome so far.
Some idiot had scribbled the webadress to some nazi website on a door we passed on our way home today. Lotten spat on it, and she was damn right to do so. I am getting so sick of the fact that they are fucking everywhere spouting their idiot beliefs.
What more to say? We're both incredibly annoyed that the sextoys we ordered still haven't arrived, but the people from the shop have been absolutely lovely towards us and have promised to check what has happened. If you understand Swedish I strongly recommend you visit the site here.
I really don't know what else to write, so I'll let this be a pretty short update.
Take care everyone!

Holy crap, I've gotten myself a twitter account!
Other than that absolutely nothing is happening. Lotten is off to her first day at university so I'm basically home alone wasting my own time doing useless things. Like getting a twitter account.
I have to call our landlord too since we have a weird smell in our bahroom. I hate calling people. I have a mild phobia of phones.
Hope you're all having a more interesting day than me. Cheers!
