as some of you've probably noticed, i haven't updated this blog in a while.
idk, i just haven't felt motivated to write anything.

but i just wanted to say that i'm doing great (graduating the gymnasium next week, got a job, etc.) and introduce my new website


for now it's just silly panda doodles and not much else, but hopefully it'll slowly evolve to my full portfolio. i have two webdesign jobs coming up and i plan on getting tons of art done doing my gap-year.

i still read a lot of you guys' blogs, even tho i suck at commenting.
take care

Folk der påstår at 3.g er hårdt lyver. Eller også har jeg det bare ualmindeligt let.
Vi har så lidt timer for tiden og næsten ingen afleveringer, det er helt vildt.
Mandag og tirsdag var der AT-vejledning, hvilket betød at jeg samlet var i skole 15 minutter på de to dage. Perfekt timing, da foråret også endelig besluttede sig for at kigge frem de dage. Jeg havde super meget energi og overskud pga. solen og varmen, så jeg fik lavet en hel masse.
Onsdag mødte jeg kl. 12 og havde fri kl. 13, og her i dag har jeg også kun haft 4 timer, hvoraf de første gik med ekskursion til Dansk Designcenter og Kunstindustrimuseet.

Dansk Designcenter.

I næste uge er der terminsprøver, hvilket betyder at jeg har fri torsdag og fredag, og i næste uge igen er der igen AT-vejledning, der også giver mig fri torsdag og fredag. Luksus!

Efter timerne idag var der "fastelounge" på skolen med tøndeslagning og udklædningskonkurrence (ja jeg ved godt at det var fastelavn i søndags, vi er lidt langsomme på min skole). Selve eventet var ikke specielt spændende, men en begivenhed der giver mig anledning til at have min panda kigurumi på i offentligheden, er nu aldrig helt skidt.

Ellers sker der ikke rigtig noget stort i mit liv for tiden. Jeg får arbejdet en masse (penge, ja tak), set nogle søde mennesker og drukket igennem i weekenderne (og til tider i hverdagene, ups). Så det er jo fint. Jeg er også begyndt at tegne mere, hvilket at jeg er rigtig glad for. For et par dage siden modtog jeg de her lækre sataner med posten:

eBay, ilu.
Sakura Micron 01-05. De er virkelig lækre, bløder ikke igennem papiret, klatter ikke. Kan klart anbefales!

Og så fordi at det er rigtig lang tid siden, at jeg har lagt et billede op af mig selv:

 
mobil, spejl og det hele. hej hejj taber

Ny måned, ny årstid, "ny" start på denne blog.
Jeg har været rigtig umotiveret til at skrive her det sidste stykke tid. Eller, sagt på en anden måde, jeg har ikke vidst hvad jeg skulle skrive. Så nu har jeg besluttet mig for at starte lidt forfra og skrive på dansk i stedet for engelsk. Jeg forstiller mig at det stadig kommer til at fungere som min "dagbog"/hvad jeg lige har i hovedet blog, men forhåbentligt en smule anderledes end før.

Fra i dag af er det officielt forår. Ikke at man har kunnet mærke det, med dagens -3 grader og grå skyer på himmelen. Men på trods af det, og tanken om at vi sikkert får en snebyge midt i april som vi plejer, så giver det alligevel lidt kriller i maven. Jeg er efterhånden mere end klar til varme og sol, så jo tættere vi kommer på sommer, jo gladere bliver jeg. Festivaller, stranden, Berlin (forhåbentlig), grill-aftener, bare ben; ja tak.
______

I går var jeg med min veninde Andrea ude og spise. Vi har virkelig mange mad-aftaler (altid på jagt efter billige deals og lækre steder) og i går fik vi endelig ført en af dem ud i livet - Middag på Dalle-Valle café i Fiolstræde. De har nemlig 50% på alle retter lørdag-tirsdag. Hvem kan sige nej til det? Jeg fik nachos, Andrea en salat (sund type) og så delte vi en tiramisu. Virkelig billigt og virkelig lækkert. Der var godt nok mange mennesker, men det kan helt klart anbefales hvis man er i København.


Nu sidder jeg og prøver at tage mig sammen til at komme i gang med lektierne. Kom hjem fra arbejde for en times tid siden og nu venter der en 15 siders læsning, før at jeg kan smutte i seng. Jeg har sagt det før, men jeg elsker virkelig mit arbejde. - Lektier, det er en anden historie.

Tror at jeg vil sætte noget musik på og så komme i gang med det der dansk til i morgen. Jeg er gået lidt i stå med at høre nyt musik for tiden (Less Than Jake, Le Tigre, Marcy Playground og Justin Timberlake har lidt bare kørt på repeat), men jeg er blevet rigtig glad for denne sang med Swirlies:

Last day of winter break.
I've enjoyed the past week a lot, but it doesn't feel like a week, more like 3 days. I wouldn't mind another week off.
Monday I went out with two friends and tuesday we met up again, to cure our hangovers with coffee. We went to Paludan, which is like a combined bookshop and café. I love it there, it's such a nice place. And their roast potatoes with chilimayo - so good.
Wednesday my friend Line came over. We've been talking about making Mac&Cheese for quite some time now, so now we finally did. Neither of us had tasted it before, but we're huge cheese lovers, so it sounded perfect for us. And it was! Probably one of the most unhealthy meals I've ever had, but it was delicious.
Look at all this divine cheese.


Thursday, friday and saturday went just like the days before; with lots of delicious food (hot chocolate with marsmallows among others, yum), going out and basically doing nothing productive. But hey, that's what vacation is for, right?

Today I've been at the gym, reading for tomorrow's class and doodling. I've had a long break from doing any creative stuff, but lately I've felt really inspired and I want to start drawing and painting all the time again. I can't wait for march to come, so I can get paid and buy new drawing tools. I really need a new set of nice pencils.

Random doodles. 1. from my sketchbook 2. from my calendar 3 + 4. from a letter to my friend.

Going to see Laila and Lasse's new apartment now.
Haven't seen any of them for a while, so that'll be nice :)

Today was great.
I baked for my english class, so we had cookies and coffee while we read Macbeth.
Then I got graded for my SRP -I got a fucking 12! (A/A+). Shit, I had not expected that AT ALL. I'm so incredibly happy right now.
When I got home, my mum had bought cake and chocolates for me, to celebrate

Then I went to see Black Swan. Finally! They all talked about it on a community I'm in on Livejournal, in november, and I've really wanted to watch it since then.
It was everything I expected it to be and more (and mind you, my expectations were sky high). Wow. Just wow. 
I saw it in the biggest auditorium in Grand Teatret, which is very classic, with red velvet and carved ceilings. It was perfect for this film, towards the end, at the premiere of the ballet, it almost felt like you were there yourself.







____________

Now I need to prepare for a presentation on the wall between Palestine and Israel tomorrow, as well as finish the website I'm doing for my design class.
I hope your day was as great as mine!

Life has been good recently.
Nothing particular happened/is happening, no recent changes, nothing like that at all, and yet I feel so happy these days. As whimsy as it may sound.

Tomorrow I'm going to a mosque with my religion class. Then work. Then movie-night with myself and popcorn. I've decided that I need to do stuff like that alone more often. What should I watch? I'm thinking about re-watching Trainspotting or Lords of Dogtown.
Saturday I have work again and then a friends' housewarming. On sunday there's hangover dinner at Katalin's. Falafel, tomato quiche, homebaked ryebread, hummus, mhmmm can't wait.

On tuesday I'm FINALLY going to watch Black Swan. SO EXCITED.
And next sunday Nobody Knows/Dare mo Shiranai at Cinemateket's japanese film festival. I wish I could watch all the films at that festival, supposedly they're all amazing.

__________

I'm going to end this blog with a moodboard dedicated to the egyptian protests (and the tunisian revolution).

Yesterday was one of the best days in a long time.
I woke up at 9am to a text from my teacher, saying she had to cancel our only class that day, so I had the whole day off. Went back to sleep, woke up an hour later and went over to my friend Andreas apartment. We had pancakes, goofed around and dressed up in our 'heavy metal outfits'. Why? Because we had been casted to be extras on a tv-commercial. Our role was 'young people at heavy metal gig' haha. It was a lot of fun actually. We just had to dance and jump around, headbang, etc. for a couple of hours. There was a band playing, and they were actually pretty good. The best part was when they had to record some girl saying a slogan or something, and then the band had to play without sound and all us at 'the concert' had to dance without music. Such a bizarre experience. Anyway, after the concert, we were supposed to be 'young people at a party', but because the caster screwed up or something, they had to cancel that and we could go home after just 3 hours. - But we'll still get paid for the 7 hours we were supposed to be there. 800kr (~$150), kachiiing.


Sneaked this photo during one of the brakes. Most people had to hold their phones up as if they were recording the concert. As you can see, we weren't a lot of people. Probably like 20. But the way they shot it should make it look like we were 100 or something. Good luck


Went back to Andreas place and chilled for a few hours, and then I had to go meet up with two other friends. We were going to see some other friends play a concert. I never heard the guys play before, but they were great. Idk how I feel about their music, it's some sort of very progressive rock, which could be a bit weird at times, but they are really great musicians.
After their gig, my friend Katalin and I went out to get a beer in 7eleven and on our way back to the venue, we bumped into some people camping. Yes, camping. On Nytorv, in the middle of Copenhagen. Turned out Roskilde Festival were having some event, so three camps attending this year, could get a ticket for the festival, if they did this. The campers were great. They invited us to beer and booze and despite having to sleep in tents in minus degrees, they were all in such a good mood. Katalin and I stayed with them for about an hour, feeling the true Roskilde spirit in the middle of January, haha.
When we got back to the venue, the last band was done playing and we went backstage to hang out with the guys. When the venue closed, we all went to some bars, and suddenly it was 6 in the morning. I had school at 8. Womp womp. So I pulled an all nighter and went. I felt surprising fresh and clear, but I was probably a good thing I only had three classes.
When I got home, I could sleep 4 hours before having to go to work. There was a premiere at the theater, so I had a lot of stuff to do. But there was also tons of candy and wine, so it was ok.
I got home around 1½ hour ago and now I'm just looking forward to getting a full nights sleep.

Tomorrow is friday, but I think I'll just stay at home. The same goes for saturday, where I'm going to visit my dad. Sunday my cousins are celebrating their birthday with a big family brunch. I'm excited, I haven't had a real brunch for a while.
______

I doubt any of you read through this, it's ok, it's probably not that interesting for other people. But I felt like documenting this day. Writing this blog is primarily for my own sake. I can't keep a diary, so instead I'm blogging. Then I'll have something to look back at in the future.
Have a nice weekend (:

20.01.2011

I've been sick with the flu for the last few days. My life have consisted of sleep, tea, bad tv, playing games on my iPhone, and internet. And anime; I re-watched Paradise Kiss.

I'm really looking forward to going to school tomorrow.

I don't have much to say but I felt like updating, so here are some photos I shot with my phone some days ago.










Ugh, winter go away. I just want spring already. I miss being able to sit outside and enjoy the sun on my face.
I want summer even more though. Roskilde and Nakke Festival, going to the beach, ice-cream, picnics and bbq parties, beautiful people, hitchhiking, summer dresses, long days and no school; absolute freedom.

154 days until I graduate. 154 days before summer really begins. I can do this.

As some of you may have noticed, I've been playing around with my layout the past two days. At first I tried something simple without a header. Then I tried a header with one of the original Winnie-the-Pooh illustrations. Then I moved that around a lot, but whatever I did, it looked horrible.
After experimenting with a bunch of different designs, I settled with this. The four photographs on the header are some of my favorite ever.

I downloaded the 'Hipstamatic' app for my iPhone yesterday and I quite like it. Basically it's a camera app, making your photos look more like oldschool analog photographs. You can change lens, film and blitz on the camera, it's pretty cool.

Shot these -very- whimsy photos today.


It's almost 11:30pm now and I have no prospect of going to sleep for a while; I had wayyy too much coffee earlier. And I have some Macbeth to read for english class anyway.
Tomorrow is friday. I'm madly excited for this weekend to begin.

Be safe guys. x

One week since my last update and I don't even have anything interesting to say.
I'm sure you fellow bloggers know how sometimes you feel like writing almost every single day and sometimes weeks can pass without you really feeling like blogging.

I'm back in school. Back for my last semester ever at Christianshavns Gymnasium. In 4½ months I'll be sweating over my final exams. It's a strange feeling.

I'm keeping busy these days. Tomorrow I'll go to my friends house and eat sushi with some girls from our class. Thursday I have work at the theater. Friday I'm going out with Katalin. Saturday my classmate is hosting a 'New Years Eve' because she was in India on december 31st and didn't get to celebrate properly, haha. And sunday Andrea is coming over for dinner.
I don't really feel like being too much alone at the moment (maybe because I hardly saw any people during the christmas holidays), so I'm quite happy with all these plans. 

I got my boots and iPhone in the mail last week and I love them both so much. I've probably used my materialistic quota for the year, haha, but it's okay. My feet are warm and I have a sweet piece of technology with me everywhere I go. Couldn't ask for more.

I've been looking at tattoos a lot recently. I'm not getting anything done myself for a while, but damn, I love (nice) tattoos. Someday I want a piece or two (or more) myself. Idk what yet though. Maybe 'We shall get there someday', which is from a Winnie-the-Pooh quote; "Rivers know this: There is no hurry. We shall get there some day."

First post in 2011.

In my last post, I talked about how great 2010 was for me. I really hope 2011 will be so as well.
Some pretty big things will be going on. I'll graduate the gymnasium and then take a year off; the first time in 14 years I won't go to school. Can't wait.
I'll kick off my gap year by traveling to Japan for a month. Madly excited about that. This has been a dream of mine for around 6 years now.
When I return from Japan, I'll find a job (hopefully) and move out. Another big dream of mine. Not that I dislike my mum or anything, but I've been urging to move out for a couple of years now.
And when I find a place, I'll spend the last months of 2011 chilling in my new apartment, doing whatever I want, enjoying not having to write papers, read heavy history books and stuff like that anymore. (I'll be working of course, but that's ok). Maybe I'll save up for a trip to Morocco or some other ~exotic~ place in winter 2012.

I'm also going to Roskilde festival and Nakke festival during the summer, like last year. I really shouldn't go - I should be saving my money for Japan - but I'm going to anyway. They're the best things about summer. And I'll be working at both festivals, so I won't have to pay for a ticket. It'll be okay.

..cool story bro.
TL:DR: 2011 will be great as hell. I'll graduate and take a gap year, go to festivals, travel to Japan and move out.

Oh, and my resolutions are:
- Read at least 1 book a month
- Stop eating meat for the next 2 months and continue if it goes well
- Start living more healthy in general.
- Loose the weight I gained in 2010

School starts on thursday, so I'm trying to enjoy these last days of vacation.
Went out for ice-cream (Coldstone!) with my friend Trine today. We also did a bit of shopping. I bought these:







I already have the exact same bra, but it's pretty, comfortable and on sale, so bought one more. And I fell in love with the leopard ring as soon as I saw it. Both from H&M

Oh, and I dyed my hair just before new years eve.

 

lol feeling pretty fuq today and my face is breaking out, so therefore the hand in front of my face. Not trying to be ~cool and hipstery with my owl ring~ or anything. 
But you can see my haircolor pretty well I guess. I like it a lot, but since I just dyed it with some old non-permanent Manic Panic I had lying around, it'll probably be gone soon. boo

ok I doubt any of you have read through all of this. If you have +1 for you, if you haven't it's ok. I understand
