DAY 02 – YOUR FIRST LOVE

James Dean was my first crush, not the first love maybe.
My first really true love was in a two year older boy who listened to great music. He was a skater aswell. I had a thing for man with skateboards. We were together for quite a long while but we ended up as good friends and we still are.

I donät believe that love really vanish, I think it just changes. Our love changed to a more friend-level. It's just sad to shut people out just because you're not together anymore.

DAY 01 - INTRODUCE YOURSELF

I was born and raised in a city in Sweden called Uppsala (a bit north of Stockholm). Been stuck there my whole life until I moved to London this September. I've dedicated my life to music and Bob Dylan. I got a Bob Dylan qoute on my right arm. I like whiskey and beer, not so keen on the vodka. I fancy playing my guitar and to eat food with my friends. Concerts and festivals is the place to be. I'm sort of a singer/songwriter, I don't write that much though 'cause I have a problem of being to hard on my self. I like to laugh at my own jokes, and I have plenty. Star Wars is God's gift to human kind.

It's on....

Real Love

Waiting for the main meal, really hungry. While I'm waiting I'm having a great time listening to this band. I have absolutely nothing to study, feels great!

Takk...

Yesterday we went to Amika. It was great, really crowded. Woke up with the headache from hell and went to harrods then me and Lisa had a pint in Hammersmith. I got an invitation for a mascarade in Islington, last weekend before christmas, should go!

If I could love, I would

Last friday in London this year! Trying to find something fancy to wear 'cause there's going to be some abercrombie & fitch thing at Amika on Kensington Highstreet. No koko today, maybe tomorrow!

Photo nr.2: Calming to see this when you're on the tube..

Embassy

The Embassy stamp.
This weekend really cuts me in half, I have no idea on what I should do for the evenings, the last 'til I go home for christmas. Stands between KOKO, Amika, Whiskey Mist, notting hill pub, wheelbarrow or something.
Iäm mostly in to KOKO and The Wheelbarrow, we'll se how it turns out. Have all the christmas shopping left aswell. Harrods, brick lane, notting hill, kensington highstreet, camden...!

Deathly Hallows

Picture from the Harry Potter premiere a few weeks ago. We went to the Odeon by leicester square. Best cinema I've ever been to and the crowd was awesome, almost felt like I was watching a concert. Great film I must say.

If you have trouble walking, I'll be your legs

Elina and Me.

Görel and Lisa.


We had a dinner in Isleworth at Elin's family, really nice, got myself some bulmers. Afterwords we went to our favourite pub in Notting Hill and when I had left they saw a celeb! A guy who plays one of the vampires in Voltouri, Twilight haha. pity.

your mister, he doesn't treat you the right way

Still having the cold from hell but nothing can keep me away from the gig tonight. I'm going to dance my feet off to The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. Now, more ginger tea with honey and a bath!

Still Ill.

Still ill. Feeling pity for myself while I'm listening to the smiths. Here are two photos from The tube and westminister. Need to shape up a bit 'cause we're going to a restaurant to say goodbye to Elin who's leaving for sweden on friday.

Kärleksillusioner

I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions i recall.
I really don't know love at all.


It's official, I just got into a relationship with my guitar. Worries gone.

He just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette

Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan. One of the greatest albums ever made.

Went to the doctor today to check up my coughing but there was nothing wrong, just some high temperature. Hope I'll be well in Thursday 'cause then I'm going to see The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

SAMO

Jean Michel Basquiat. Great man, beutiful things have a disposition of disappearing.

Free drinks at Embassy.

Really nice guys in the aftr hours (y)


Late friday night at Embassy! Crap music but okay for one night or so. Really adore the girls so then I can look beyond the music. Had a great time I must say.

I was a train moving too fast

The Strokes finished with new album!! Just some months left to wait for the complete edition to come out says Julian Casablancas. It's going to be the longest months of my life.

Let me stand next to your fire

Celebrating Jimi Hendrix by going to a club called Funky Buddha. My jeans are sick tight after the wash, hopefully I'll survive. An advice, NEVER wash cheap monday jeans!

Isolation

correction: this is not stinas work. haha. everybody makes mistakes, but I still fancy the picture!

Young adult friction

Old photo from a few weeks ago, the terrifying escalator close to Towern, made this devil sound like knife on a plate.
I'm getting along a bit better in the education now, but I'm still so exited to come home to Sweden. Miss my dog alot! Miss my family too, and all the friends I have at home. Just three weeks!

She messed around with a bloke called smokie

I have to much in school, almost about to have a nerveous breakdown. Calming my nerves with some Cab Calloway. Always works.

Richmond Hill

This is how it looks behind my school, I walk this way when I'm not in a hurry. Great view over Kingston and the river. Like the benches, they're dedicated in memory if different persons.

You dream maker, you heartbreaker

A new cover, made a few minutes ago.
Moon River by Andy Williams, mostly known by Audrey Hepburn when she sings it in the window in "Breakfast at Tiffanys".

I dream a dream that can't come true

I got a terrible cold today, but I went out for a walk and sat on my bench by barnes pond. Listened a lot to Broder Daniel, longing for dinner then to get a descent sleep.

Crocodiles

Crocodiles Live: I Wanna Kill
Great song, stuck in my head all the time. It's a good song for walking to places or sitting on the northern line to camden, that takes a long time for me...

Communion 7/11 2010

Pushing Hands,

Ben Howard, god's gift to the guitar or something.

CLOUD CONTROL, really great band. A mixture if Temper Trap and Fleet Foxes. Straight from australia and made me dance as a child.

Went to NOtting Hill Art's club for Communion with Vera.
"Communion was born in the summer of 2006 at Notting Hill Arts Club. Founded by Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons), Kevin Jones (Cherbourg) and producer Ian Grimble, it grew into a community of musicians, industry and fans alike, and provided a platform for the newest bands on London’s circuit. The night has seen the likes of Noah and the Whale, Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, JJ Pistolet and Peggy Sue grace the stage and has become closely associated with the nu-folk movement in the capital. As well as this, it helped spawn the careers of artists such as Esser, The Holloways and Example, in keeping with the eclectic ethos that Communion has come to stand for."

"If I was mentally deficient, I would have missed"

Yesterday we saw the whole first season of misfits. LOVED it. Just longing 'till next thursday so I can watch the second season. My roomie has infected me with a cold, so I'll stay in tonight, tidy my room to make my hostmum happy, drink honeywater and do som psycology studying.

I used to drag you through my streets when you came crawling back

I hear the sound of falling love
As I wonder where you are
Hits the ground with a dead sound
Know you ain't got far

There's too many tests, too many distances, so I'am just gonna call it off for tonight, listen to music, eat my orange, drink my tea and do absolutely NOTHING that I need to do. In fact, I will do everything that I really don't need to do.

I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state

Maybe I should give up, give in,
give up trying to be thin.

I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me

AND HE IS BACK AGAIN!The lyrics that pierce trough muy heart in a soft but intense way.
"Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird" - Tallest Man on Earth, you have done it again.

Man måste dö några gånger innan man kan leva

Just got home from a undescribeable communion night at Notting Hill Art's Club. Great bands, one guitarist who were the most skilled I've ever seen, AND that includes Kristian Mattsson!
Now my friends are returning to Uppsala/Sweden, but I have this peacock earring as memory. Malin's got the other one. Just 5 quid for both of 'em at Brick Lane.
Spent my week listening to Håkan Hellström's recent album. It rips my heart out that I didn't see him yesterday, but getting to gothenburg would've been a bit difficult moneywise.
Just five hours left until I need to get up and go to School. (Y)

Astronout

Salem, I love you, just pure love!

Dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio

Ian Curtis, in Control

Had a hard time sleeping kast night so I stayed up till 4am and cried my heart out to Ian Curtis cinematize death. I love this film, it's absolutely stunning. I'm falling in love every time.

Rad Pitt

Decorations on Oxford St. on the way home from King's Cross.

Egyptian Hip Hop


Shite quality on the pictures, pardon for that.
Mårten, Vera and I went to Old Street to a club called XOYO to see Egyptian Hip Hop, the gig was so great! After the gig we took a random bus and ended up on King's Cross, where I saw I place where they made fish & chips, and my cravings were rreally bad!
So me and Vera ended up on the sidewalk with our beloved fish & chips and a budweiser!

Girlfriend in a coma

The Smiths and coffee is waking me up for the moment. I'm getting ready for a trip to Westfield. Have some issues with deciding what to wear, but i think I'll go for my read coat, I do think my style can get sort of all black from time to time.

This town, is coming like a ghost town

Scary

Fell in love with a bloody cardigan at Urban Outfitters. Tempting bastards.


Went to Kensington Gardens today, via Wholefoods to buy the most amazing ciabatta bread ever made. That with some hummus and vegan yougurt (soya-yogurt is really really good!)
Had a lot of diskussions 'bout Harry Potter so we decided to have a Harry P. night! I'm just on my way to the bus stop to pick up elina then buy something to nibble. Splendid.

This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
too much fighting on the dance floor

Paul Gauguin

Self - portrait & Ondine 1889 (the favourite)
Paul Gauguin. Nevermore, O Taiti. 1897. Oil on canvas.

Some of the paintings that cought my interest the most at Tate Modern.

Love Me Two Times

Me and mum @ Brick Lane and on our way from the Gauguin exhibition

At an austrian bar in Notting Hill.

Me mum and dad came to visit last weekend. I had such a great time and I really miss those nutcases. We ate a lot of good food and wandered around on Brick Lane, in Camden and Went to the fantastic Gauguin exhibition. I am counting the days till the 17th of December when I get to see them again!

A picture from last weekend in Notting Hill.

Have been a lot in the east, Westferry, where Mårten and Emil lives. My beloved Stina came to visit, I believe I'll steal some pictures from her later. After a long journey on the District line this morning I came home, ate a bagel and fell asleep for three hours. Really needed to catch some sleep.

Abbey Road

(I'm not in pain, it's just an illusion)

"I'm only sleeping"

After a trip to IKEA the school surprised us by stopping on Abbey Road, we almost broke through the windows, SO HAPPY!
We have planned to go back and take a real photo of the crossing, 'cause, the once we took are so bad.
My french course is killing me and tomorrow is the music jam in school so I will just play my guitar for the rest of the evening, french can wait.

Lazy sunday afternoon

Monday morning, the morning from hell. Just a few days left till my parents visits! Really need a weekend off from everything.

Aspackad & Arg

Elin & Me

Yesterday was something I believe. Went to a pub where they say that Robert Pattinson usually can be spotted around christmas here in Barnes. Rather interesting I must say.
Now I'm keeping up the good work with Swedish punk and green tea. Today we're taking on Camden and The Barfly!

hair illusions

Gif animator
goodnight.

Båda Sidor Nu - Håkan Hellström

Jag har sett kärlek från båda sidor nu,
från och ge och ta och ändå ser jag bara kärleksillusioner
och nu minns jag jag förstår inte kärlek, inte det minsta.

Och jag skulle ha ringt dig ikväll men handen fastnade framför mig,
och jag skulle sagt; "jag älskar dig" men stolthet kom i vägen.
Och du eller jag vem är konstigast, är det bara jag som förändrats
ja nåt är borta men nåt hittas, varje dag.

Jag har sett livet från båda sidor nu,
från upp och ner och ändå ser jag bara livsillusioner
och nu minns jag jag förstår inte livet, inte det minsta.

Rock 'n' roll Alamo

Recovering from yesterday's pranks in Westminster and Notting Hill. Had a great time on the pavement drinkin cheap wine with the bottle in a tesco bag by Big Ben. Afterwords our feets took us to Notting Hill where we wandered around for a bit 'til we got to this Austrian pub. Nice evening I must say.
Today the sun is shining from a blue sky, perfect day for photographs of Hammersmith Bridge I believe.
Picture is from friday in Kensington Gardens.
