Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

Sorry for being a bad blogger again. There has been so much happening lately (hrhm, i wonder if anyone believe me...) Well anyways.

I've been watching a lot of anime lately and one that I really like at the moment is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. It's so good! I recommend it to everyone!

I love the opening song too. It's just so good!


Love,
Emma

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!

Sorry for being notsome and not blogging for ages. I've just been busy with life and stuffs. I haven't forgotten you guys!

This is my new obsession:



Hot korean guys. Give me.

That's all for now...

I think that we are phailing this week.

Yes, I am posting one now. And I am not even gonna make Hanna write another one this week (she would have one hour to do that...no way.). It seems that she has so much other stuff going on and that is good. It's good to have a life and not just sit infront of a computer all day (and night) as some of us do.

NaNo is pretty much killing the both of us I guess and it's hard to concentrate on other stuff and life and whatnot at the same time. It's easier to do it when the writing is going smoothly but when it gets hard it's all one can think about. These past few days has been hard for me and I have been a mess. I'm apologize if you have had to listen to me talk about NaNo a lot.
It will get better at some point.

I realized yesterday that I have been at home 2 days straight. I haven't been outside at all. Today I was at the balcony so I was almost outside. I had a headache yesterday and I totally blame myself, or maybe NaNo. Haha. So peeps please remember to go outside sometimes. It's good for you!

Here's Lady GaGa for you!

I love the song and the video. I think it's cool. What do you think?



Have fun peeps!

Love,
Emma

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.

Hanna

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!

Hanna

Hey

Good day folks!

Thanks muchly for the support, Emma, you're an angel!

The consert went okay, I think this might have been the first time I sang having no friggin' clue wether or not it sounded okay. I know it sounds weird, but I really couldn't tell. The recording I made turned out to be crappy, so I couldn't really tell from that either.

Today I have this sort of evaluation-talk thingy and I'm a little nervous. I don't really want to know how I'm doing since I feel like I'm doing crap. I'm not going to whine about it more than I already have.

It's lunch time now, but I don't feel like eating. I'm hungry, but I don't want to eat. I will though, so don't get worried.

I'm getting pretty cought up in NaNo now actually, since Emma got me to join. Hopefully it will make November more fun for me. My mother has been very supportive, saying that it's a good idea. She really thinks I should go for the whole writing bit. I don't know what I want, and I'm not sure I want to seriously try that too and find that it's just another things I'm not good enough to fully accomplish. We'll see.

Anyway, I'll go eat no. Take care of yourselves y'all!

Hanna

Believe

YES! We did it! Another week is behind us!

Celebrating by listening to Believe - Folder5. It's a great song and it makes me happy. I will put the musicvideo in the end of this post for you guys. If you have watched the anime One Piece you might recognize the song. If you have not watched One Piece I suggest that you go and do that 'cause it is one of the best things in this world. I love it, and so does my brother.

And in other news totally off topic: I want to learn sign language. Just sayin'.

And here's the vid for you guys! Have a gr8 sunday!



Love,
Emma

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!

Hanna

Big Bang!

Hello peeps! (I could try to call you something else but peeps just always sounds the best.)

I did some shopping today, and no, I do not shop very often. I mostly just buy some stuff of the internet. I find stuff better that way, but this time I knew what I wanted and from where so I went. I bought Microsoft Office. I need Word to function properly! I am, as some of you know, a girl that write a lot of stuff and I really need to have a good program for that, and Word is the best in my opinion. I have written on Open Office and Works and even Notepad, but they just aren't the same thing as Word. So I had to have it. And I even got a wireless mouse with it. Not bad!

I also bought a awesome scarf. Colourful and awesome! I have started liking colour on my clothes more and more these days. There has been a time when I almost always wore black...and even today I am completely black...not the socks though, they are pink!

Enough said today.
Here's a musicvideo for you all. BIG BANG!

Time: 21:06

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.

Hanna

He's almost too good...

Hello peeps and Hanna!

Today is a dark and rainy day so I thought I could brighten my day by being good and writing a blogpost for this blog.

Yes, Tom Felton makes music and he's also pretty good at it. I saw that same video in a blog some time ago and the first thing that came to mind was that it's unfair if he's very good at singing. I mean, he's an amazing actor and even good looking (and has a pretty girlfriend too...this I know thanks to his twitter.) so it would be nice if he left something for the rest of us. But no, he's good. I like him. He's good at everything he does!
I am a bit chocked that you, Hanna, didn't know that. I have known for ages!

These days pretty much everyone has twitter, even J.K. Rowling has one. For me that is a big deal!

That's all for today!
Have fun, sweets!

Love,
Emma

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!
Hanna

So jokes and Looking for Alaska

Click here to get to this video on Youtube.

Hello Peeeps! There's some great music for you to enjoy! I like Hank Green and those songs are just lovely. And I will probably get the cd too at some point.

I have the book "Looking for Alaska" which is written by John Green (Hank's brother). I like the book a lot.

Here's what it's about:
Before. Miles "Pudge" Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave "the Great Perhaps" even more (François Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . . After. Nothing is ever the same.

The whole obsession with last words. I like it. I just like obsession for some reason. AND the book cover is so beautiful. The one with the candle. Yes, I do look at book covers. I can almost just buy a book because of the cover. If the cover is beautiful then I might just have to buy it. Haha.
I'm not normal.

Have fun!

Love,
Emma

Oklahoma!

Dear readers

Emma was just kind enough to remind me that it was my turn to write, and since I'm just sitting around being rather useless at the moment I might take the time to blog some.

Today I went out walking in a short, tight dress, which might not seem like a big deal to most of you, but to me it really is. I don't feel very good about my body, so it's a pretty big step for me to show myself in any kind of revealing clothing at all. It really sucks that so many people have to feel so bad about how they look, don't you think?

Another first is that right now I was singing (really singing, using my full capacity) for the first time in a long while. I'm singing along to the musical Oklahoma, one of my absolute fav musicals. The 1999 version with Hugh Jackman in, the version I personally prefer, you really should see it.

I'll finish (as usual) with some youtube material. Two vids this time, one is a clip from Oklahoma just to show how awesome it is, and the other is a trailer for a fanfic me and my girlfriend have started to write.

I hope you're all well and happy.

Mrs. Nerimon.

Hello!

Sorry that I haven't made a post in a while. There's a lot going on in my life right now and...yeah. Like schoolstuff that I don't really understand at all, so that takes a bit of time to do. And then a lot of other stuff.

But now I am back here.

Listening to ALL CAPS right now and I just love it. A friend of mine said that it's summermusic and I have to agree with him. It's upbeat and happy and that's what music has to be in the summer. I can totally see myself sitting on the grass and listening to "Mrs Nerimon". Can't you?
I want the cd but I have no money so I can't really order it yet.

I wanna do something creative now. Hm.

Love,
Emma

Time: 6:10 PM.

DFTBA

I love that video and the song. I think that it is amazing and I have listened to it a lot of times these past few days. It's different and that makes it so good. You all should watch and listen and then tell me what you think of it.
You should of course also go and watch all vlogbrothers videos because they are amazing and also check out Michael Aranda.

I feel like a big youtube-nerd. Nerdfighter!

Don't Forget To Be Awesome!

Love,
Emma

Time: 3:30 PM.

I want a mic

I'm pretty sure I've meantioned that I'm into music. Well, amongst other things I create Wizardrock (a musical subculture centered around the Harry Potter books).
This is pretty ironic, since I really don't like those books that much at all. The back story is basically that my girlfriend is a huge fan of the books, and I wrote a song as a present to her. She liked it a lot, and so did I, so I kept going.
It's basically me assuming a very warped Peter Pettigrew persona that hasn't got a lot to do with the actual character in the books (since my version is more a psychotic badass than a pathetic coward) and mocking the marauders, since I think those guys sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls.
Anyway, I have major recording problems, and that annoys me. Hopefully I'll get to perform this summer however, and that will be neat. Hopefully all my wonderful friends will be there to shield me from all the angry fangirls that will want to explain to me very violently that Sirius Black is a nice guy!
This was a very random little babble, but that is because I'm not very structured today since I didn't get much sleep tonight and had to get up in the morning to go visit my grandfather who is very ill. I don't really know how to write about it, because it's all so huge and complicated and sad, and nothing I say will sound quite right. So I'll just stop talking now.

Love
Hanna

Locked in...

Good morning everyone!

I'm right now at my friends place or her fathers to be correct, and she left for school so I am all alone. I'm not complaining. I have a computer and music so I'm going to survive. 8 or 9 hours until she's home again, and I can't go out either because then I can't get in. She has the key. I'm locked in, in a way.

But this apartment is pretty awesome. So I will be fine.

I have a lot of Enya on my Ipod for the moment. Loving it. Right now: Dominator vs Enya. It's a remix. Sounds pretty cool.

Captain Blood sounds interesting. Hmm. Maybe I should check it out. I do love movies a lot, but for some odd reason I do not watch movies that much, or even go to the cinema. Even if there are a lot of movies I want to see. Maybe I should change that. ...or well when I have the money to do that. Right now I am pretty broke. Or I will be once I get the planetickets to sweden.

And now I am just rambling. Sorry.

Have a good day!

Love,
Emma
