Last Day Tomorrow

Hopefully you'll forgive me for bad blogging. Will not post pictures til I'm in London (Thursday night)

Tinnitus is bursting my ears! I've been packing all day long, but not done yet! Had a successful gig at Duke's Corner supporting the lovely people in Spectral Cat. We played Perfect Day by the best artist of all time, Lou Reed! Then we went to skint. I found out I guy I like a bit just got a girlfriend... so I went from being in a great mood to depressed mood... but I met loads of people that I knew at the Union so that was great, planned a day out in St Andrews with Reuben, Sean and Erin! and seeing the Degree Show in the afternoon with Laura and Chris! Then hitting Lorna's birthday party, or just packing since I still haven't finished..

Feels so weird and sad to be leaving Dundee for three or so months... and going to London on Thurday for a southern UK tour to see all my good ol' BFF's, Karma, Filippa, Nina! Love!

Goodnight, now hopefully my pizza from the fridge leftovers is ready so I can watch CSI:Miami

AMAZING HAPPINESS SUPER DAY

Had the best day yesterday - what one would almost call perfect: I took only two papers with me to my Economics tutorial so I could leave straight after. I understood what the hell was going on in class - amazing! I met up with Kirsten, we bought booze and a sausage roll. Four cans of Red Stripe, two bottles of cider. If we consumed it? Oh yes. On the bus! Lovely bus ride, the sun was shining the weather was fine, with the handsome countryside on our side and ginger Scottish cows.

Upon arrival and a little bit tipsy, we go into Topshop on Princes Street. I buy a bra and an I Love New York t-shirt which I now regret and want to kill and return. Next we hitch across the bridge, go to for some food at 'The Malt Shovel', a pub with some excellent 2 for £10 grub. I'm in love (and I've been here before)! Then it's concert time. Kirsten's had a vodka cranberry still standing strong, whilst I've had another beer and trying to sober up eating Kirsten's chocolate. We trek along.
For some reason I have a cigarette in my bag and I give it to a homeless man who turned down the chocolate. Apparently beggars can be choosers.

Queens Hall is just straight ahead and we manage to run in just as Beach House start playing one of my faves off their new album - A Walk in the Park! Oh yeah. It's not overly crowded and a lot of people seem to have little idea of who Beach House are. They play a short set of six songs including Zebra, Norway, Silver Soul, Take Care of You and Gila. The leading lady was mellow as usual and didn't say much.

Grizzly Bear come on. Their records do not do justice to their sound! They're extraordinarily talented musicians - I never realised how much they swap things around, with two different lead vocalists for various songs and it seemed like they each had 3 instruments to switch between. The light show is amazing! Whilst Beach House had lights in furry white pine trees, Grizzly Bear has light bulbs glass jars hanging down from wooden panels at different heights and lengths.

The highlight of the show is when Victoria Legrand gets back up on stage to support Grizzly Bear, first doing back up in "Two Weeks" then there was the epic mash up! I've been trying to look for the two songs which I now in hind sight I realise is the track "Slow Life" they did for the soundtrack of New Moon... Which means I made quite a few embarrassing comments on how amazing this mash up was and Kirsten's like "they should record it!" I'm like "totally!"

Oh, wait - they already have!

I left the concert with a new Beach House t-shirt in my possession.

Oh yes.

The sun is shining today too! What a perfect day to buy a camera and ink for my printer!

Also a perfect day to do my Psychology report which I'm doing at the moment.

Red Love

I'm allowed to pose if it makes me feel good!

Off to le cinema

Back in Sweden, all the presents with me

Ugh. Got up at ten past six. left half past. Early flight to catch after two or so hours of sleep. Joined Ed to Sue's Christmas party in Hackney (Ed's mom was there and a lot of other crazy-mad adults). Got mulled wine, beer, samosas and red cheeks then headed off to 'that pub' in Hackney. A good 40minute trek in the cccold. Had pints of beer then went home inebriated, cold and hungry. Which meant that I ended up having a minced meat chicken kebab - ugh!

I am here, had a good nap on the flight that was slow to board, meaning I got an extra hour sleep. I came home and was welcomed with a small Swedish Christmas buffet. Mmm.

But there's no time to feel like a new born baby - mommy, brother and I are leaving for the airport at 3 am tonight. We'll be arriving in Barcelona tomorrow morning.

I am currently enjoying moldy cheese on ginger bread
- that's how we stay skinny in Sweden!


I like drinking at parties. Katie, Kirsten and I @ EunYi's flatparty, 2nd December.

I ♥ Jack White & Alison Mosshart

______________________________________

Edinburgh was absolutely fantastic! First time I've been and it was beatiful, perfect weather, nice and neat city at night. I must go again! Actually will be going there on Monday if things go as planned.

Summary of my Edinburgh experience: EunYi and I went to a pub, got rejected, had to escape the premises, since she didn't have "valid ID." Ran to another pub, a posher pub, where they charged us twice the money but we got out beer. Then we scurried off to HMV Picture House! Beautiful, central venue right in the middle of town. AMAZING performance! Even the opening act kicked some ass. The Dead Weathers were better than I ever could have imagine. Just incredible performer, really know what they're doing. Jack White was so so sexy. It was just an indescribably mindblowing performance. My ears are still ringing from yesterday.

Mother and brother are here in Dundee! Flew in from Copenhagen today. They still haven't called me, I haven't enough credit to make international calls, so I think I'll go stalk them.

My only class today (this is my reading week for Internation Business Environment) was IT at ten o'clock. I woke up at ten! Luckily I only live two minutes away from all my classes, so I popped out of bed, grabbed my cleanest clothes (not very clean at this point, going on four weeks since the last wash) and sprinted to class. Phew! Did my test, but got two easy peasy questions wrong due to silly worked up me. Stress has a tremendous impact on my ability to think clearly. Oh, well rather a B1 grade than a zero!

Lizzie is da Bomb

Lizzie loving Tamar

Tamar loving Lizzie bringing her home safely last night.
Yesterday was amazing, mostly due to the fact that Lizzie is crazy and she was off her face, lying flat on her face in the hallway, asking for a massage, then turns out she's ticklish on her back.

Thank you Tamar, for the addition to my Guiness glass collection!

Crazy Lizzie

Lizzie is Back!

Lizzie is back and this definitely made my day, if not the whole week, if not.. who knows how long! All I know is I am so happy that she is here, I have missed her so, my body is filled with joy. I have someone who is so funny and smart in my life, for this I am happy again.

This week has been quite dreary, all of us are so different and uncertainty and guilt has kept me down. I am a very social person, but I easily fly away to outerspace if I don't have people to talk to. Makes me go all shoegaze.

And this week has been hard, because of social rejection to a certain extent, and social avoidance to another. I have been wanting to work hard, and perform the best I can, and if the social, extra curricular life is hard I might as well avoid it completely and get more work done.

I am beginning to worry if I will ever meet people with my taste in music. I am generally worried about the vast percentage of students I wouldn't ever consider talking to here. A lot of them seem so blää and empty. Fake tan and short skirts, rugby body and slow body language.

Behind this exterior, is there personality?

Of this I am highly unsure. Drunk and unattentive is what I have percieved them as.

I am glad that Lizzie's back!

Spuds/cupcakes/doughnuts/love

I want to die alone. Sugar hiccup. Annoyed.

Today I still feel sick, couldn't sleep because all I could think about was everything and not having finished my psychology report yet. I must finish it before I go to bed in order to get a good night's sleep.

I went to my tutorial and did well, we went to Starbucks and then onwards, I had a cupcake, baked potato and some doughnuts, then Ed called me up asked me to book him a ticket. Then we poisoned our bodies with cigarettes.
