Yeah sadly winter is on the way and while the lowering temperatures do give me a clue that it’s coming I am also made very aware of it by many different cold viruses invading me! A day before I was due to leave for the UK I woke up with a high fever. Oh no, what a terrible time to get the flu! Luckily I recovered at the combine only to realize that someone else gave me their cold!! AHH!

Now today i’m waking up again feeling some kinda cold. My head feels heavy and i’m not liking the signs of this at all! I have a lot of stuff to do and I don’t have time to be sick! For one I planned to go and FINALLY fix my hair since I couldn’t do it before the combine. I’m getting my extentions taken out but the guy that does them was in New York for 2 weeks!! I hated going to the combine with such crappy hair but what could I do But now I really don’t feel well enough to leave the comforts of my apartment! Maybe tomorrow…

The party was great.

I’ve only got less than 3 weeks until my 21st birthday. I’m not flipping out like I was on my 20th birthday (ahh, not a teenager anymore!) but 21 is still a bit of a big deal. I’d like to have my birthday go off with a bang (meaning I don’t want to spend it in Sweden) so i’m trying to make all these party plans. It seems though that aside from a couple of people (Therese), everyone that would like to celebrate my special day is not in the same country! I wanna bust out and party elsewhere.

I would love to spend some time in Amsterdam. Although Carl Cox is playing the eve of my birthday in Stockholm, I would much rather go to the Netherlands and see some lesser-known DJs there. It’s also convenient since I can get a direct flight to Birmingham right after. But then that also means I would lose several days of practice. Hmm dilemma.

Yes that’s right! I will be at QuakeCon where it will be the relase of Pro Gam3r magazine!! Dallas is gonna be boiling but it’s gonna be great I’ll update when i’m there if I can but if I can’t you’ll have to wait until I get back to hear all the gory details!

<3!

So i’ve lived in this apartment for like 3 months now. When we first moved in we fixed up most of the essential stuff but there was still things lacking such as more lights in the main room and more wardrobe space. I’ve basically had my clothes all over the place and in storage simply because of the lack of places to put them. With PURRI being a raging metrosexual he also has a large amount of clothing and accessories.

This weekend I finally got around to doing what needs to be done. I even bought an awesome new drill:

Where else but Sweden can you buy a drill with freakin’ pirates on it?! Feeling like those chicks in the satisfaction video I got to work and put in a new pole for hanging clothes in the wardrobe. To my dismay the wardrobe was concrete and I could not use my super-awesome-pirate-but-could-be-mistaken-for-emo drill. It didn’t come with drill heads either so right now it’s just an electric screwdriver. But nevermind, my womaning instincts kicked in and I had to make a new home for my clothes! Using superglue (yes superglue) I was able to put in a new pole. Ok i’m not super stupid and I know that superglue actually won’t hold kilograms of clothing but I was in luck: The pole was sized to fit PERFECTLY in the wardrobe. I mean just perfectly. I had to hammer it to get it straight but due to the tight fit it would actually hold itself up - and it has been all weekend - hah! Push me, and then just touch me, ’till I can get my, satisfaction:

I am still yet to buy some drill heads so I can install these awesome new lights I bought for above the couch so I can actually read books in here! The books I will be reading will be swedish childrens books but hey, i’ve got to start somewhere right?

Edit: HAHAH oh dear seems like my drill isn’t the craziest one out there.

Some of you may find it hard to believe but I am indeed a moron. Right now I should be in Amsterdam on my way to Sensation black. The Sensation events are something that I have always wanted to attend and I missed the opportunity last year so of course I should have taken it this year. I don’t know how much longer I will be living in Europe and I feel that when I return I won’t be young enough to enjoy something like Sensation as much as I would now.

Sure, Sensation have their world tour but nothing compares to the show that is put on at the Amsterdam Arena. I feel like such an idiot for missing it. The only reason I missed it was because I couldn’t get anyone from Sweden to come with me, not even Mikael who I offered to pay for the trip (it would’ve only cost €150 overall). What the hell, what is up with all these boring Swedish people that don’t want to do something fun for a weekend? Ok I don’t really mean that but seriously, it’s SENSATION!!

Sweden would never have a kickass party like this. In fact, the clubs in Sweden totally suck. They are basically only good for one thing. Sweden really a happening place but its a good base in Europe. It would be ideal if I could live in the Netherlands though. Despite the shit weather and insanely expensive housing I think I would love it there. I’ve met so many cool Dutch people over the years through gaming that i’m convinced that they’re the people that I get along with the best. Or maybe i’ve just been lucky, who knows.

Anyway im going to torture myself all night youtubing videos of the event i’m missing as we speak hehe kidding but heres the trailer for anyone thats wondering what Sensation is!
