Thinking about the future..

..and what I want from it. I have known for quite some time now what I wanna work with when I’m done at Uni and all that shit, obviously a photographer. A live music photographer to be exact. So I have put up my own photography page on MySpace, with my own domain to make it all seem a bit more professional; click HERE to go see it, if you have MySpace add and comment ^^ I have also been mailing a few venues as well as a few bands about the possibility to get press passes for concerts.  So far 1 reply, better than none eh? It was Dave from Reemer who were kind enough to answer me.

“hey Renate (what a beautiful name btw!) I’m sure they’ll be no problem with that! I think the best thing to do is to email our manager (Lindy) at…(email address removed) and she;ll be able to sort it out for ya i’m sure! If she doesn’t get back to you, let me know and i’ll harass her about it! Thanks for thinking of us! it’ll be wicked to see ya!
Dave. xx”

Now I just have to wait and see what Miss Lindy has to say..
*fingers crossed*

I’m no fucking teenager anymore!

Because I’m 20 that is.. Weee it was my birthday yesterday, like finally. Ida gave me iPudd speakers :D Jo came early, I wasn’t even outta bed yet lol. Got a giftcard at HMV from her, so I had a reason to go visit Fit. Eeeeh yay!  Then at uni I got my pressie from Lizy, a cute little purse and a neckless, really nice^^ My dad called me to wish me happy birthday before the second lecture of the day, so it  was me, Lizy, Magda, Jo, Chris and John in the room, and as I picked up and started talking Norwegian, they all just kept quiet and sat there watching me, as if me talking Norwegian on the phone is the most fascinating thing ever. I even said to my dad “they are all staring at me now” and he laughed. It was fun. Then got home, ate pizza and then Sarah came. We got matching teddy thingies from her, so the three of us (me, Ida and Sarah) have one each. Really cute.

Then showered and all dolled up, looking foxy for the night. Lizy and Sarah (not our Sarah, but one of the Sarah’s in my class) joined us later, Jo was already here cause she was staying at ours. We drank, talked and laughed. Then the Sarahs had to leave, and got replaced by Magda. Then it was singstar time, which was great fun. I must say the photographers and the lonely writer has the X factor!

Around half 11 we got taxies and headed to town, to Oceana. Standing by the counter for ages to get drinks, Chris also showed up, dressed as a girl! It didn’t even look too bad, as I didn’t even notice right away lol. It was crossdressing night or something there last night, quite some nice looking ladies there, to put it like that. The only thing missing in Chris’ attempt to look like a girl (if we look away from breasts) was a tiara, so I so kindly let him borrow mine. Oh don’t he look pretty?

We were dancing, singing, drinking and just enjoying the night, talked to some random guys and what not. And then I noticed that my Robbie was there, so Ida went over and talked to him, and he wished me happy birthday, which was really nice. His real name is Craig btw, and he’s gay. Oh well, he seems really nice tho, likes Harry Potter as much as Ida apparently! Nah, it was a great night it was, and now I’m slightly hungover.

The last few days..

..have been rather interesting really. Thursday we went to the hairdressers, spent quite a few hours there getting red and blond. Friday we went by Spike’s and got our marks, which turned out great btw, and then on saturday we went by Asda! Wow, crazy crazy beings!! Today we went to HMV, and believe it or not, today Fit was home!! Yay *dancing like a crazy cat* He’s still rather fit. Like in a really really fit way. 

And little me have become famous now, got my first secret made about me on mcfly secrets. A nasty, little thing of jealousy, which I found quite humorous actually. Both Ida and Sarah got pissed off tho, hihi I got amazing friends. 

Yeah we have also watched quite a lot of movies lately, such as Enchanted, Hide And Seek, and Peter Pan. I love that version of Peter Pan, it’s simply amazing. And he’s such a cutie that Peter. 

I mean – Just look at him! Awwwww cute!

Oh yeah, we also made Enchiladas last night, Yummy yummy in our tummies.

Living life to the fullest

Yeah, why throw it away being bored and the same old same old every single day? Nah, that’s sooo last year, well last year the first half of it. Today me and Ida went shopping in Birmingham, bought pie and mash at Urban Pies, then nada.. Nothing.. Cero.. Itteno.. Went back to Wolves, where we however did some shopping.. At Asda lol.. Only food. Wow, what a shopping spree ey? But we did however find some stuff we’re totally buying tomorrow and we got an appointment at the hairdressers for tomorrow. And we’re also doing something else tomorrow.. What? Not telling lol

Fit wasn’t working when we went by HMV today. Bleh..

Nighttime

It’s 05:38 am and I’m still awake. Why? Because I haven’t been tired. Just yawned, so I’m getting there, but that’s bullshit, cause I have to be up at like 09:00 am anyway. Damn it, I’m gonna be soooooo tired tonight, and that’s no cool, because Ida is coming over for taco and fun. Let’s hope I don’t fall asleep before the tacos then, because I’m excited :D I love Ida, she’s a great little taco maker. 

What have I done all night? Let me see. I chatted to this cute guy on Nettby, who said I was ridiculously beautiful. That’s so sweet. The I tried getting some sleep, nah didn’t work. As awake as.. erm.. something that’s really awake.  And after that I have just been watching cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model. 

The reason I have to get up so early, is because I have to come with my ‘rents to town, to pick out a birthday present. Only problem is that I have noooo idea what I want, so I’m gonna end up making my mum so frustrated. I just yawned again, so I’m gonna go for it, try to get at least 3 hours of sleep. Better than nothing right?

See ya 
xxx

*sighing*

Everyday feels like a Monday
there is no escaping from the heartache
now I gotta put it back together
cause it’s always better late then never
wishing I could be in California, 
I wanna tell ya when I call ya, 
I could’ve fallen in love, 
I wish I’d fallen in love.

<3

Bleh…

Tomorrow will be good

Today was pretty boring, so it better be. I’m sure it will, because I’m gonna hang out with Ida! :D First we are meeting up in town, shopping trash to eat and trash to bring to England. Then we’re gonna be super lazy, watch movies and eat the trash we bought. (Not the trash for England of course, but the trash to eat obv.) And knowing the two of us pretty well, we’ll be sitting there with our Mac’s as well, being the nerds we are. Nerds are good.. Tried it? Willy Wonka candy you know.

Massa El Khir

Which means good evening in that language they speak in Egypt. Random you may say, but no it’s not you see. Me and Ida have been rebels, hooligans, yes almost spontaneous and ordered ourselves a holiday for the summer. Where to? Correct, the land of Terror if you ask our parents, Egypt. We have spent a lot of money we don’t really have to spend, on this, just for the hell of it, and I’m so excited! 

It’s a 5 star hotel, no shitty motel, only the best for us. Steigenberge Al Dau Beach, a haven of sophisticated luxury in the centre of Hurghada’s touristic complex on the Red Sea in Egypt.  By the looks of it, it is absolutely gorgeous and just what we need after a stressful semester at Uni. So bring on 8th of June!

And also I would like to wish my dad a happy birthday, hope it’s a good one. Love you.

Fooled…

Yes, last night did not end up completely like I had imagined it. So Ida Marie came to pick me up, not Camilla as I thought, and then she bloody hell blindfolded me! That was not fun bth, I hate surprises and people knowing stuff I don’t know, I feel stupid. They had arranged a surprise bday party (My first one ever btw) at JB11 (I knew we would end up there lol) where Ida x 2, camilla, monica, Errrrlend and my parents were. Like that’s not enough, KATRINE was there as well, and she lives like crazy far away, and had run away from home just for me :D I love her, it was awesome seeing her again, missed her loads. Made the night, seriously. Got pressies and that chicken baguette with bday lights on. Adorable. Even tho I was embarrassed and stuff (because I was being blindfolded and such in public, it was really nice. Had a great time, so thanks.

Love you <3

I’m growing up!!

I know, would you believe it?! Today I’m making dinner for my mum and dad, so it’s ready for when they get home from work, and I have also tidied upstairs! What’s going on?!  

But between all this being ever so clever and good, I have had time to listen and sing along to some music, mostly The All-American Rejects, which I kinda have a high on atm. I simply loooooove their song Breakin’ from the new album When The World Comes Down. 

Hold on tight
Wrap your arms around me til your knuckles are burning white
All your tears
Couldn’t match the bitter taste of all these wasted years

You can’t simply understand how amazing it is before you sing it out loud, I mean proper living yourself into it, and just BAH! Damn it’s soooo good. Hooooold ooo-ooon tight.. Darn it – it’s epic. LOVE.

Later tonight I’m gonna meet up with mates, Camilla is gonna come pick me up (seeing as I live in the woods away from everything there is to be away from) and then we’ll meet Ida x 2 in town. We will most likely go eat at JB11, where they serve the best chicken baguette you can imagine. It’s like heaven on earth. Then it’s off to do some singstaring if I’m not mistaking, singing out loud and awful as we do, should be great for all the lucky people in a hearing distance away from us.
