Emilie in concert

^ Clickable title everyhon^^,

So I saw Emilie Autumn in concert yesterday. And it was awesome^^, I'm usually so music oriented that I even manage to not be aware when the bands I like release new albums even (seeing as I don't read anything at all about them almost), and going to see bands in concert is for mostly about music being better live, so the visuals isn't all that important to me. I discovered however that an Emilie concert is just as much about the visual. She had acrobatics, and fireshow, and girls walking around in these beautiful corsets. She has long talking sequences too, and theatrics, it was just too awesome=D=D
I am so going the next time she comes=D=D

I got there before my friends, and ended up talking to this 15 year old girl who had traveled for 7 hours by train to go to Oslo to see Emilie. When my friends came we ended up talking about all the concerts we have traveled abroad for, to which she starry eyed replied that she hoped she'd be like us when she grew upXD

If you want to check out Emilie's music WingedZephyr have lots of her songs up on youtube here:

Long time no post

Been a while since I posted. Still haven't gotten a reply about uni. Have gotten loads more B-day presents. Have collaborated in taking third in a photo contest. Should be doing homework right now...

Photo contest first, shall we.
Fiancé being the wonderful computer nerd that he is goes to The Gathering in Hamar each year (one of Scandinavia's biggest nerdfestsXD) and he enters in the competitions every year. This year we took third in the photocontest with this pic:

I did the lightpainting, he did the posing and the post work. Purdy isn't he=D

We took 4th last year with a video called Nightlife using the same technique, but I don't have it right now. We should have taken 2nd, seeing as both first and third place violated the contest rules, but water under the bridge ne?


I have gotten more B-day presents, including flavour thingys for onigiri, Japanese dictionary for my DS <3, Miffy on DVD, and a genuine D&G wallet O.o
Good times=D=D

Better go read my German homework me thinks
No word of the day today, swoowy

Coolest day of the year (belated, but anyway)

So yesterday was my birthday, I can now, as far I know, buy alcohol and vote in the entire world^^, (Except that I can only vote in Norway, but anywho^^,)
Remember I said I thought I was going to get a tablet PC? I did^^, Big thanks to all of you who chipped in^^,
I have started drawing a Marikken picture on it, in Illustrator, but I'm not very good at it yet. But, practice makes perfect, right?

But, besides from being my birthday, 8th of April is actually a very cool day.
It's the birthday of Buddha in Japan.
In 1917 Jane Stickle was born on this day, she was the creator of the first ever Dear Jane quilt. Which is almost cooler than the Buddha thing actually. I have grown up in the midst of my mothers quilts, and even thou I never caught the passion for quilting myself, I have always loved the techniques and the fabrics. I always treasure the quilts that come into my possession, maybe in part because I know all the work and love that goes into making them^^, And Dear Jane's are some of the most beautiful ones to me, because there is so much detail in them. My mom made on a few years back, and it's absolutely gorgeous=D
Betty Ford is born on this day as well, likewise Vivienne Westwood.

Thus far I have collected three books, two Vampire Chronicles which my little sister bought for me in London, and one Beetle the Bard, the tablet, and an absolutely adorable little purse my mom made, with a stitchery of my Fat Cat on it, sitting next to her bowl demanding "sånn" (gourmet soft cat food^^, Picky eater, Tullerusk^^,). That's another reason I always treasure the quilts and little things my mother make me, not only does she put love into making them, she puts love into picking the colours and the fabrics as well. Each time my mom gets packets on fabric in the mail I always oogle them for at least 30 minutes, and the preetiest one are always the Japanese ones, so what else could she make it of but a gorgeous sakura-petal patterened soft pink Japanese fabric? If it did not get through yesterday Mom, I'm absolutely in love with it^^, Even the lining is purdy (a yellow starspin fabric=D).

And PS:
Someone with a little knowledge: please write a Wikipedia entry on Jane Stickle and Dear Jane. We need one I don't know enough about either...
