a slideshow.. with background music. WOO
i went a bit over the top with the effects

So.. the The Used tour last week... Could've gone better if I wouldnt have been sick the whole week but oh well. It's finally over now.

I'm gonna spare you from the boring details so I'm just gonna put stuff in + and - highlights

+ The pound was cheaper than last time
+ I got to shop in London <3 (bought some epic stuff; 3 pairs of shoes, 2 sunglasses, some earrings, a cute necklace, a tiny statue of big ben for my collection, 3 bags etc. etc)
+ I got to see The Used 3 times and finally meet Bert and Jepha too
+ I had good company
+ I got into 2 shows for free thanks to Dan and a nice lady at the Electric Ballroom
+ Dan is amazing and Bert is cuddly
+ Got to meet some cool new people
+ Bert told us that The Used is coming to Finland in January (ABOUT FUCKING TIME!)
+ Sainsbury's & Starbucks
+ Camden Town
+ Primark & New Look


- I WAS SICK SICK SICK
- Dont remember much from the Manchester show because I actually fell asleep for a while during We Are The Ocean and felt dizzy and i was in pain throughout the show
- Missed Wil Francis singing Sharp Objects with Bert in Manchester 'cause I had to leave the hall because I just couldnt take it anymore
- Half my money got stolen/vanished misteriously after we got to London on wednesday
- Got my period just before the London show
- Camden Inn sucked (cold showers, had to sleep the first night with a strange couple while my friends were in a different room. the couple was nice though BUT it WAS in camden town.. <3)
- Couldnt visit the Babycakes-shop in Manchester because it never opened even though we waited around and then had to leave for our bus to Birmingham
- Got a never-ending nosebleed in the middle of changing clothes in the changing room at New Look
- Didnt get an interview because I couldnt get access to the internet and I would've had to contact their management through internet
- Couldnt get a photopass although was promised one by Dan, but he didnt know that there were already 9 photographers coming (but i still got into the show and it was epiccc <3)

and some other shitty stuff i dont even remember anymore hahah



( London and The Used )

TOMORROW <3

totally forgot to post these last month :O

Vivian Girls



( Since you've gone I've lost that chip on my shoulder.. )

I was at the monthly camera society's young photographers-club gathering last night and we had a professional portrait-photographer coming in to tell us the basics of studio-lighting etc. and he also picked the pic of the month, and two of my pics got in the top 4! im so honoured. he really liked my photos before he even knew the idea behind them or what i had done on photoshop or even whom they belonged to. and after my explanations he liked them even more. his exact words were on this photo "whoever took this photo should definetly carry on. and he's had his own experience in concert photography so i was pretty excited about that.
he also liked these but couldnt pick either of those as the pic of the month because of tiny details which i wont say because some of you may not even notice hahah






^_____^

I totally forgot to post this here too.

I've recently found out that Cyber Shop ships internationally too!
So anyone who's interested, take a gander and happy shopping!

You can also spot a lot of photos there taken by me :] all the new ones in the majority of the categories were taken by me obvs.

Hahaha oops I may have gotten a bit carried away :D


One The Used show just turned into 3. The people I'm going with, i dont even know them too well but whatever XD I know it'll be epic.
I'm just a little worried that now, that im gonna be off school for a whole week, i have no idea what im gonna say to my teachers.. I guess i could say, oh it's a family trip, we bought it before we knew i was gonna get in this school :D or i'll just call in sick..

SHIT i just realised. School starts tomorrow. i keep forgetting. usually i'm really stressed out a week before school and i try to get into bed by 12 but ive lived these past days like it's still the middle of july, and not going to bed 'til 2-3am. *slaps self*
but i guess this also shows that im less stressed out and am not worrying so much about my new school as i thought i would be. maybe im finally growing up! :D

2½ days til Cologne! \o/ Going through some stuff and making a list of all the touristy stuff i wanna do with orangeysky ^_____^


NADJAAAA. i really wanna see you too. how much would cost for me to come to YOU, if you cant come to Cologne? :D
