Ok that’s super dorky for those of you who know the song (if not it’s “Insomnia” by Faithless) but I really can’t get no sleep! I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately due to the winter weather and I ended up sleeping the day away today and now I just can’t get to sleep again! It’s 7:40am and I figure i’ll just pull an all-nighter and head to bed early tomorro.. tonight?

I’ve been playing DoA a bit lately and I feel like i’ve been improving. It’s really nice to hear when people say “oh I saw you on CGS, you’re a lot better than I thought!” I know my results at the world finals were bad but I don’t intend on letting that happen again

I think that the next combine will be really interesting. I think that everyone currently involved in the CGS really wants to do it again for another season so they will have the drive and motivation to practice really hard because they know exactly what they’re playing for.

Not a lot has really happened in the beginning of 2008 for me but that doesn’t say that that’s how it’s going to be for the whole year! I think most people are still kind of in “holiday mood”. I’m more in the mood for change. I want to join the gym (but am having issues doing that right now), move apartment and redecorate. I think I need a change of scenery… perhaps involving a bigger place with more room for my ever-growing wardrobe ;). Don’t be alarmed though, I still fully intend on staying on top of my game!!

Ok enough about me, since I can’t sleep i’ve looked up some tips for you other insomniacs out there (and I know there’s a few of you!) to help you get sleep:
* Take a warm bath
* Listen to music (soothing stuff, none of this deathmetal!)
* Drink warm milk (this relaxes your nervous system)
* Avoid caffine, alcohol and tobacco
* Get up earlier in the morning (this way you are more tired in the evening)
* Keep a regular bedtime
* Exercise during the day
* Avoid naps!

And now, back to the most mundane thing you could ever do on your PC…… organising files!! WOO! hahaha ohh I want sleep!

Firstly, I just wrote a really huge blog but then firefox crashed and I lost it all so this one will be more brief since i’m a little mad. Anyway if you didn’t read my previous blog I left with my bf for Düsseldorf on the 30th of December just to go to a huge New Year dance party called Sensation White.

I got back late last night and I must say, i’m a little sad to be back in Sweden simply because it means i’m going to have to wait until summer for the next Sensation!

I guess it’s needless to say, the party was immense. It went from 20:00 - 7:00 and even by that time I didn’t want to leave. The hotel I was staying at was basically part of the LTU arena (where the event was held) so the night before I could sit in the dining room sipping a beer and watch them test the lights and the bass for the next night.

Even though I got a little taste of what was to come, when I walked into the arena when the 30,000 or so people had showed up and the djs were playing (I came around an hour and a half late because I had problems picking up my tickets) I got happy tears just because it looked (and sounded) so incredible. There was this giant white “tree” in the middle where the DJ would sit (and rotate around while playing) and it would light up, there was dancers, water features and fire! I don’t know how to describe it any better.

I got VIP tickets for the event which means I had access to this lounge where there were many more bars, a dance floor (where other DJs would also play) and couches ad stuff for when you just want to chill out. I wish I had better pictures of it but I didn’t have my camera with me. It was nice to be able to go to that area so I didn’t have to wait in line for the bar or bathrooms but I really did enjoy the main arena the most.
I couldn’t have asked for a better end to a fantastic 2007 and an even better beginning to 2008.
