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.

Howdy you trustful reader

What happened to my dashboard? It now looks all fancy and blue. I like it :D

So like most times I don’t know what I’m gonna write about, so let’s talk some more about that. Whenever I am bored I seem to do this, blogging I mean, but I don’t mind, cause I love my blog. My blog is fierce. Tho I am a bit tired of the layout, might change it. Again. 

Tomorrow it’s Friday, and that means only one – 1 – week left of my first year at University! That’s mental, I feel like we just started for crying out loud. I’m almost done with all projects except the last one, but that will be okay, I’ll get that done no worries. Gonna miss my class mates over the break, we’ve got some kick ass people starting the second year in September I tell you. Hope you all will have a great summer, don’t forget about the Norwegian one please! I’ll miss you.

Today is Sarah’s birthday, our immature little brat has now turned 19(!) and tomorrow we’ll come with presents and drinks, for some nice food and company. Should be fun. Yet another I will miss during summer. I love you hun.

Here at home in our house the bugs are having a blast, especially in the bathroom. I must admit I won’t miss them that awfully lot this summer. Actually the opposite if I may say so. That goes for the big bug as well. Period several times a month much?! Djeez..

I went shopping yesterday, once again, this time alone so all pressure were on me. I was looking for light blue or gray jeans, found some in Primark, but bleh, they didn’t look good. So I went by TK Maxx, where I couldn’t find any. I did however find a green shorts thingy, picked it up, then went upstairs to the mens wear, where I found another shorts, tried them both on, and oh, the guy-shorts were pretty epic. I bought it. Then Ida has the nerve to say I only bought it because it’s like a Dougie shorts. Bullshit! I actually liked it and it is a Dougie shorts tjihi Let me take a picture for you.

*runs off to take picture*

*comes back having taken pictures*

I just checked out that Blazin Squad’s new single, that’s out in June I think, it’s pretty good actually. But I was sure they had split years ago lol. Apparently not. Now it’s only like 5-6 of them, compared to the camp they used to be. I’m not fussed, the fittest ones are still there, Lee and Kenzie. ANd oh boy, that Kenzie has become FINE… Yum, my newest friend on facebook haha xD But seriously, I’m drooling. He could be a guy for Camilla I reckon..

n1190425994_30357635_4630

 With that exotic look, brown eyes and killer body… Hmm, I change my mind, I don’t think Camilla would fancy him. At all.

I had more to say, but it’s getting late, going to the tanning saloon tomorrow morning so need sleep. Niiiight

Pampering day

Because me and Ida felt sorry for ourselves. 

Day started out at Uni in the black and white darkroom with Magda, getting some prints done for the friday project. Then when done, I walked into town where I met up with Ida, Sarah and Chelle, just as they were about to walk Chelle back to the train station. So toddling along we did, said byebye to her, and walked back into town for some shopping. Where to go? New Look of course! What I got in there was;

A bag.

I also bought a yellow cardigan and a black top. I found some shoes, but I’m not sure if I’m gonna buy them yet. We’ll see. 

Then it was off to Primark, where I got panties, a bra and tons of socks. 
We got an appointment at the hairdressers and walked home, where Sarah finally could get us our pictures, yay!

dougiemeyay

Perfection right there I tell you.

After shizzling at home for a bit, Ida and meself got changed, and ready for dinner out. We walked with Sarah to Asda, and then the two of us headed off to Nandos for some chicken. They had a new potato mash there, it was YUM!

At Nandos, enjoying a nice dinner :)

Then we went to Uni, yes we indeed did, but only to go online and check the cinema. Found a film to watch, had to wait for a good hour before going down to Cineworld, so we went to an Italian restaurant for dessert and a drink. We drank Mojito’s and Ida had the Tiramisu and I had the apple cake. Was sooooo good!

Then we went to see The Uninvited, which somehow turned out to be rather good. Who would have thought?!

The longest, yet best couple of days

Ever.

Warning; Could be UCAP spoilers!

Right now I’m in bed, with a feeling of being hungover, slight head ache and ringing in my ears from last night. After 40ish hours of queueing outside the Civic Hall what can you expect, but hey, it was so worth it.

Me and Ida came down to the Civic around half 9 monday morning, where we met up with Sarah, Bex and her two friends, Amanda and Rachel. I had to leave again around 10 tho, to go to uni, shooting Still Life in the Studio. I feel so bad for the people I was on groups with, cause I was like stressing so much, yelling at them to hurry and such, so I could be done before half 12, when McFly were suppose to come to the Civic. They did let me go first, doing mine, and once I was done, I ran out right away to get there in time. I made it, they hadn’t turned up yet. So I sat down, chillen with the others, and they told me that a reporter from the biggest local newspaper had interviewed them, and that even I was mentioned. Pretty cool. Turned out I didn’t have a reason to stress like I did, cause they finally turned up around 1. Good thing was, we were only a few fans, the 6 of us and a couple more. First Dougie came out of the bus, looking gorgeous, holding his skateboard, and with my favorite hairstyle. Just amazing. Then Harry came, and since he was the closest one at this point, he was the first one we got pics with. We also gave him the scrapbook from the Norwegian fans, and a melkesjokolade (milk chocolate) from Norway. He thought that was pretty cool, and we also got a picture of him holding it, for all you awesome mcfly fans back home in Norway.

We then moved over to him, the most gorgeous guy I’ve ever seen, Mr. Poynter himself, and boy oh my, he’s amazing. Standing next to him, I could not really believe that I was actually getting my picture of me and Dougie. My Dougie picture at last, so surreal. And he’s even smiling in it! No funny face, no mr serious, no it’s a happy face, a “gosh-i-love-her” face. Okay maybe that’s just wishful thinking…

Then Mr. Jones came out, looking all cool in his sunglasses, scrubby chin and also him, like the other two seemed to be in a very good mood. Got our pics taken with him as well, Ida finally got a Danny picture, the one she was missing, so all good.

img_3278

Tom took his time coming out of the bus, but when he finally did, we got a picture with him as well. He was wearing his new sunglasses and a hat, which didn’t look at all bad in real life James, so that so! haha. He seemed pleased that I said I liked his hat :)

img_3283

They toddled off inside for some soundchecking and such. The fans were just hanging around outside, and even got to hang by one of the doors, which were open, to listen to them rehearse. I don’t know how many times they played Transylvania, but that was loads. Not that I mind listening to Dougie sing, not at all. Then we just had to sit wait for the time to go by. Some guy from the newspaper came over to us, got our pics from when we met them, and took our details, so we also ended up in the paper the next day. Me, Sarah and Ida then went home to get some stuff to survive the night a bit later, got a blow up mattress to sit on and our Disney robes and such, las thing we wanted was to freeze to death. Some more people came to set up camp, we were about 30 in the end, camping outside the Civic. Pretty much everyone, except Ida who were making friends with the security guys, were stood down by the bus when McFly were leaving to go back to the hotel in Birmingham that evening. While waiting for them, some other guys came from other bands came out, that were playing at the Civic that night, a band called The Days for example. Me and Sarah thought this one guy looked famous, so he had to be in a band, and got a pic with him. Tho we do not know who he is. Then McFly time. First Dougie came out, looking just as fit as when he walked in, holding his skateboard. I said hi to him, before Sarah and the rest on the other side got a hold of him, taking pics with him, and the rest when they came out. I wasn’t fussed tho, I got a picture earlier that day. Then I suddenly noticed Dougie was standing in front of me, back towards me having just taken a picture with someone, and was now not doing anything. So I ever so carefully pricked his shoulder, and he turned around, smiling, I died, and asked if it was okay that I got a picture with him. He said of course, and so i did, with my cellphone as I had no camera. First I moved it to fast after pressing the shutter, so it came out all erm, nothing. I told him and I got another one, he this time stood still, looking at me, waiting to see if it turned out ok, which it did.

I then walked to find Sarah, as we had to go if she were to catch her bus. When I did find her, we bumped into Tom, and heck, got a picture with him as well. That would be my fifth Tom picture! I must say we look like mates eh?

Long cold night now. Wasn’t as bad as the Milton Keynes signing tho, because that’s not possible. Didn’t sleep at all, because every time I was comfy enough to sleep, I started shaking real bad from being cold. Next day, early morning around 6-7ish me and Ida packed our stuff, and went home to get showered and changed for the concert. That hot shower was very much appreciated! When we walked back, the sun was up and warming, so it wasn’t bad queueing now really, even if we were less dressed. We really was blessed with good weather, thank God! Like that wasn’t enough, while sitting there in front of the Civic, that scary guy from HMV came and talked to one of the people working at the Civic, and I saw someone else were standing on the other side waiting for him. Yes, that’s right, that was Fit! Eeek, it’s only getting better and better right? So Fit walked across the road and came towards us, looking at the queue, talking to his work buddy and the guy the work buddy was talking to. I was drooling. Then they walked off to work. Wait wait wait, queue, queue, queue. Looooong day to put it like that. We talked a bit to Danny Hall or whatever his name is, from Son of Dork you know, he’s kinda cool. 

Evening time, and gig time! So the campers had gotten a colored dot on their hands, and the awesome management at the Civic let us in before the rest. It was so cool standing by the barrier, seeing the others still standing outside. Me and Ida stood in front of Dougie, a bit towards Danny, perfect placement I’d say. The support act, Alex Roots, were pretty good actually. I like it, check her out. Then once the light went off before McFly came on, people started pressing like crazy. But no way if anyone were to press me out of my place, I was staying put. They all looked absolutely amazing, and they had never been better I swear.

To decide what’s their favorite city, they have a contest this tour, ordering pizza from stage, to see how long it takes. Fastest pizza delivery = best city. Dougie did a great job ordering it, tho it couldn’t be easy to hear, as the crowd weren’t exactly quiet.

While playing Transylvania, Dougie and Tom swapped instruments, so now we understand why the rehearsed that song so many times. It was totally epic.

Took them a few songs to get the pizza, then they said they would let two fans up on stage, eating pizza and watching them play a few songs. People went mental I swear, Danny chose one of the girls we’d been camping with, Jess and then Dougie was gonna choose the other one. He looked around, before pointing straight at me, saying the girl in the pink top. I was in proper shock. Then a security dude came and lifted me out, and I got onstage, Danny asking me for my name, I told him twice, he still couldn’t really say it lol. So me and Jess was sitting on a sofa behind Tom, next to Harry’s drum kit, and himself of course, eating pizza and watching them sing.

It’s all quite a blur tho, I can’t really remember what songs they played while being up there. Tom asked us how the pizza was, it was really good. Tom even walked over to us a few times, saying we had to eat more. On one song he also came over and was standing in front of us, playing. God he was fit, I wasn’t sure where to look, so I ended up staring at his face, him all in concentration. Dougie walked over once as well, looked at us, before pouring his water over the pizza, making both of us wet, tho it’s Dougie Poynter, he’s allowed. Then Harry told me we should eat more, but nah, the watered pizza stayed untouched from now.

After 3-4 songs and Harry’s talk, Danny came and took our hands, leading us off the stage and back, while doing so being awfully handsome, and the security guys showed us back to the hall, to watch them perform the last three songs of the set.

Think maybe this was the best gig I’ve been to. Just maybe..

Ps. the pictures from when we met them during the day, it’s not the originals, so quality not the best. Still haven’t had them sent to me from Sarah.

Another night of celebration!

This time it was me, Ida, Sarah, Coral and Lizy going to Cheeky Monkeys after some awesome singstarring at ours first. At Cheekys we met up with Pete who actually had bought a new shirt! Looking good, it was nice seeing him again. Just gonna post a bunch of pics from it ^^

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?

chris1

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.

Halloween

Halloween is coming up, and we’re excited about celebrating our first halloween here in the UK. Should be a fun and scary night. And Sarah is coming over to get pissed, yay! I’m now just googling some scary make-up pictures, I wanna look good. We’re starting up at home as we do, and then moves out to the dangerous Halloween night in town, at Oceana. Eeeeh gonna be phun!

Pictures and more after tomorrow night, stay tuned!

Finally Sunday

After having Sunday for the last two days, it’s time for the real deal. I should do schoolwork, but I am lazy and sick. I mope when I’m sick. I’ve got a sore throat and when the “Haha, you are so not getting any sleep tonight” God kept messing with me last night, I’m also oh so tired. Sarah cutie is working 2 – 10 next week, so I should be able to do some schoolwork during the week at least. I am soooo behind, I bet I am haha. But schoolwork researching is booooooring. 

Yes Sarah, let me introduce you to her.

This is Sarah. She’s mine and Ida’s showfriend, and after we moved to England, she has become one of my best friends, and I love her loads. She’s amazing. 

Now who is Ida you may ask?

This is Ida. She’s my best friend who I love to pieces. We live together in our cute house in Dunstall Road, Wolverhampton, and spend our days living life with Sambuca and McFly.
