Happy belated birthday iwouldstay! Hope you had a sunny day.

Okay, the party at my grandma's was a great success. A lot of my classmates said to me that it was brilliant, awesome, hugely fun, etc., which is all I could ever ask for. And dag nabbit did I had a good time! Seriously.

There was a sort of "no drinking"-vibe to the party but then some people started drinking and they got pretty funny, so I stuck with them most of the night. I love how people are when they're drunk, because they're so much more honest, so much more themselves. People have these boundaries and sets of taboos and do/don'ts that get torn down when they drink, and it allows them to be more like what they truly are, which I find amazing because I'm interested in how people and their psyche is (I think I could work with psychology and be pretty happy). One of the things that I love with the baring of self is that I feel that people are honest with me, but that they care and that they are open, which is what I feel I'm more towards others than they are towards me when sober. I love that that they're vulnerable and that they trust you so easily. I love to be trusted, it makes me feel special.

Memorable stuff

1. Whipped cream and bare torsos


2. Sex talks


3. Swimming in 30 cms of ice cold, bug ridden chlorine water


4. Mind games where the smart people didn't get it


5. The nicest breakfast on a lawn ever

It was a bit sad though, because of all the people who are leaving next year.

I got back from the Hove festival around Futurama-time 18:00 yesterday, tired as an old lady's perm. Jeebus, what a week it has been. I've been living in a tent for six days, which was sort of uncomfortable, but because I was camping with like 10 of my friends, many of them being very good or my best friends, and there were a gajillion other people I knew all over as well, it's been very good. And of course because of the music, the bands.

Bands seen

1. The Killers


2. Franz Ferdinand (I got a drum stick)


3. Slipknot


4. Faith No More


5. Disturbed


6. The Prodigy (hella intense, I danced like a maniac)


7. The Ting Tings (I gave the drummer a handshake when I was backstage at the main stage)


8. Q-Tip (I danced with him and he handed me the mic twice when he was in the crowd, huzzah for being blonde)


9. The Gaslight Anthem


10. Architects (I was pulled into the circle pit)


11. White Lies (talked to the drummer when backstage)


12. The New Wine


13. M83


14. Bring Me The Horizon (God I hate their fans)


15. El Caco (Second best concert?)


16. Major Parkinson ♥♥ (talked to them a lot after their concert)

Seriously, so great. I think that all the bands I saw were awesome or better, and I've promised myself to check all of them out. You should too.

Michael Jackson. I do not believe he's dead until I see the autopsy pictures. And even when that happens, I'll still be hesitant. How can someone like that just die? And at only 50? No, don't believe it. And not in a Elvis-didn't-die way. I think he realized that he couldn't pull off those 50 concerts, and of course he can't cancel any of them, people would be upset, maybe even enraged, so he decided to fake his own death and live well from the money he earned from the ticket sales and from the CD-royalties which I would think have sky-rocketed right now. I'm (at least half-) serious.

But in case he is dead: R.I.P. master of populism, musician of all musicians, dancer of dimensions, the King of Pop. Your music will forever live on.

4 days 'till I'm in the US, dammit!
