What a weird night…

So last night was the All Time Low concert in Birmingham, and I do have to admit it sure was a night where we were pretty much going through the motions. There were some surrealism and epic music causing to lack of voice the following day, mixed in with alcohol and kissing and some killer dance moves. No tears did appear that I’m aware of, but I don’t think it was that far off. So yeah, it was kinda a weird night.

The surrealism part of it started once we found our way in to the O2 Academy, Sarah meeting two blokes from this band she likes, Twenty Twenty, and me and Ida were pretty much just standing there, clearly not really knowing who they were. This was not the surreal part, it has yet to begin. After Sarah got her picture with the two, I noticed Mr. Danny Hall standing by the bar. *Danny Hall was a member of the band Son Of Dork, and has now a new band called Hill Valley High, check them out on Myspace. Sarah spazzed a bit, and we made our over to the bar, me just randomly standing next to him, obviously just to get something to drink. Ehm. Once he got his beer, he turned around, and I was sure he was just going to walk off, cause I wasn’t gonna be a teenie chatting to him. But, we did have Sarah there, so he wasn’t getting away anytime soon. This is where the surreal starts. She asked for a picture, he actually seemed surprised that we had recognized him. “How did you recognize me?” He laughed and my dear Sarah just pointed at me, saying “She did”, I felt a bit teenie then afterall. But tbf I kept it cool, even drinking from beer when Sarah got her picture with him, and well, I had to get one as well. I mean, I was the one who noticed him in the first place.

This is when you think he’d bugger off and go enjoy the concert with his mates and stuff, but no. Actually, he hung around pretty much throughout the concert, only walking a bit back and forth now and then. He was totally chatting me up. I don’t mean to brag, but how cool is that? Lol, ok might be bragging a bit. I mean, when he says “Can I please have sex with you tonight?”, I sure can say he fancied me? Was real fun hanging out with him and drinking, that’s for sure. And if things were any different, I’m sure I’d be in a bush with him without even blinking.

Before ATL came on stage, Alex joined one of the support acts on stage for a bit, caused loads of screams that did, then after doing that he walked straight past us, and then again when walking back backstage. He was dragged through the mass by security tho, so we couldn’t really talk to him. One of the guys around him turned out to be Rian tho, and not a security guy, even tho some might have thought that.

All Time Low onstage was epic. Nothing more, nothing less. We already knew the set list, so didn’t expect many surprises, so when they started Coffee shop Soundtrack I proper freaked out, they weren’t suppose to do that one, and that’s my fave song!! Loved it. Then right after they played Let it Roll, which is Ida’s fave and that one wasn’t on the set list either, brilliant. They were amazing up there, and me, Sarah and Ida were all a proper sweaty mess after the gig. I mean, you kinda have to dance!

The club after the gig, Propaganda just wasn’t Cheekeys, so hell we took the train back to our beloved Wolverhampton and the Civic Hall, Friday and Cheekeys are where the party’s at. Emotional roller coaster.

Me and Ida are now sat by our dining table, surfing the lovely internet from Sky, finally got it (!), stomach making sounds and my voice is gone.

Breathe.

Hello from Wolverhampton

First of all, just want to thank you all on your wishes for me to have a nice trip over to my second home, and I can gladly assure you that the trip went well. No luggage lost, no getting too late and no crashing neither bus nor plane. So yeah, nice trip, tho long. We started off early yesterday morning, 7 am to be exact and weren’t in Wolverhampton before slightly past 8 pm. The first thing we did, after dragging our suitcases up those narrow stairs in our cute, little house, was to head off to ASDA and get some food. Oh how I have missed my ASDA <3 After eating, we quickly went to bed, seeing as we were both pretty exhausted.

Today we got up quite early, went into town, first stop Zaks. I got myself an appointment like right away, leaving Ida walking around town alone for well a few hours poor thing, while I was getting all pretty on my head. Then it was time for New Look, our favorite place to be. Didn’t end up with awfully lot tho, kind of a surprise I know. But fear not, I did buy not one, but two pair of shoes.

Yes, I will be able to walk in them!!

Ida got the same ones only in black

Met up with Lizy after chatting to this Sky bloke Gavin, about getting a sky box, which we ordered, then we went for food. Me, Lizy and Ida that is, Gavin didn’t join us, tho I wouldn’t have minded if he did haha. Went home after that to get ready for the concert, watched a bit of Friends then me and Lizy headed off to the Civic just in time for the doors to open. Getting there at 7 pm, doors opening at 7 pm, you would think we would end up in the back. Nah, not me and Lizy, second row baby! And even better, when Lostprophets got on, I somehow got front row. Liking it. Was a great gig indeed.

Now me and Ida are gonna get to bed, Lizy sleeping in my room. Birmingham for pies and shopping tomorrow, can’t wait.

Love from England, dodgy internet means not that much blogging atm, will be fixed!

Saturday

And what a day it was. 
Finally we were going to see You Me At Six again, and on our way there, sitting on the train like we often do, we both agreed that if we didn’t meet any of them, we’d be a bit down about it. But when we came outside the 02 Academy, we kinda started doubting the chances of meeting them, seeing as there were so GOD DAMN MANY PEOPLE THERE!! The queue went pretty much all around the building I swear. And the venue was big. Me and Ida just decided to sit on the other side and wait instead of queueing as we weren’t fussed about getting near the front anyway. It was cold. 

Finally inside and the first thing I do is to spot Matt. So I as discreetly as possible mentioned to Ida, as no one else had seemed to notice him just yet. We got our pictures taken with him, and gave him Norwegian Milk Chocolate.

Yeah, we’d be a nice-looking couple, I’m working on it.

Walking around waiting for the gig to start we met Kayla and SammIE, and they told us about the after party, a golden opportunity to meet the rest of the band. The concert itself was great, somehow we got pushed almost to the front on one of the sides, which I’m not complaining about. Got some great pictures. Then we moved to the other side where I got one kick-ass epic picture of Josh. Check it out on my website. After the concert we got all evacuated for some reason. After waiting outside for ages, freezing, Kayla sweet-talked to some guards and somehow we got gold wristbands and got to go in before the rest of the queue.  How awesome is that?! We saw Matt pretty much everywhere, and I also saw Max once, after that he disappeared. We ignored Dan like we so often do, poor guy I don’t know why, he’s pretty fit! But Kayla wanted to talk to Josh, and well, that was our chance to talk to him as well. So we did, mentioning that we were Norwegian and also went to the Wolves gig last fall, he seemed to remember us saying and I quote “Oh I remember, you went to the after party as well didn’t you?” And yes, we did. He couldn’t remember to say I love Norwegian fans anymore tho.

Then we saw Matt some more, and that merch guy, Henri was it?, who also claimed to remember us. Later real randomly some guy walked over to me and asked me if I liked America, I said yeh, and he asked me where I was from. I said Norway, just to get this reaction; “NO WAY! I’m from Denmark!!” And it turned out that his name was Jonas and he plays in one of the support acts Emarosa, which was pretty cool. So we got a picture taken with him as well. Matt turned up, again, and this time Jonas brought him over to us saying “they’re from Norway!” and Matt went like “NORWAY!” Haha. He said the chocolate was terrific. 

So yeah, it sure was a great night, worth those £30 we paid for the taxi back to Wolves.

The last shopping trip in a looooong time..

Because we really need to stop spending our money on clothes and well, everything else we might want. But this time we had to, there was no other way!! Because see, Ida is having a bday party not this weekend, but the next, and the theme is the 80’s. In order to be able to dress out for it (would be stupid if we didn’t since it’s us hosting it) we had to go do some 80’s clothing shopping thiny. This is what I ended up with, and yeah, I quite like it! 

Outta control

Me and Ida went to Birmingham today to eat mash and pie, and to take pictures. We had already decided that we would not spend any more money, so that was all we would do in Birmingham. We ended up with a leather jacket each, boots and Ida also got some new jeans. Smashing as it looks, we weren’t supposed to buy anything.. Well well, I love it anyway! 

The jacket, only the one I got is in a darker brown

<3

Now we’re gonna get dressed in our new belongings and take a taxi to Cinema World, where we are going to drool over Jensen in My Bloody Valentine. Ciao.

 

Btw. Tom looks great without his shirt on, he should wear it like that more often! Giovanna, you are one lucky lady!

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..

Just a quick word..

Seeing McFly tonight!!!! Update on that some time after tonight lol

Yes I know I said I would write an after-halloween blog as well, but Ida did, so no point in me doing that now anyway. Read hers. 

I’m really excited about seeing people tonight, such as Sarah and Chelle and Josh and Katie to mention some. Excited, gonna be fun.

Bit nervous as well, I have to get my cam in!!
