We all walk the green mile.
I won. Naturally, I won. Little "Sowfie" had been forgotten in the fridge, at his workplace. She didn't even last 24 hours. Not that I left the house much during those first 24 hours, so it was pretty easy for me... But still. I won. Yeah, that's really all there is to it.
As for my smoking habbits... Well I still have like 4 chapters left with Allen Carr (The Easy Way To Quit Smoking), and I'm afraid?! I'm so damn sure that I'll quit smoking after finishing it that I'm putting it off. But I've made up my mind. I've decided to start from the begining and just read it straight through. I need to befriend him again and let him help me though the lousy habbit. ...He'd argue with me about calling it a habbit. It's nota habbit. We break habbits everyday. It's an addiction. Smoking is like wearing shoes one size too small all the time. I have to come home and take them off! Smoking is like hearing your neighbours alarm go off all day. Screws with your mind untill they finally turn it off and you feel relieved, the quiet.
He's got alot of those weird analogies.
Tonight was awsome. I love you guys. (:
Torekällberget @ summernight. Lovelovelove it!
Reading, It'll be fantastic!
<3
That's it for now.
Princessdolls Productions will be busy this week. Keep your eyes out! ;-)
--
Thursday: Took brother to the airport, said buh bye for a month and a half. He's gone to the states now and gets to be with My Shantig! <3 Came home and slept a while. Sofia then came over and we wrote, wrote and wrote our rhymes together. Almost finished our rapsong! Oh yeah, summer's here and what's summer without the next Princess Doll's hit? Haha... That's right. We'll be recording this week. Bow chicka wah wah! ;-)
Friday: Went to get my eyes checked. Getting glasses this friday... Then I met up with some friends I havn't seen in a while. We drank and drank (some of us drank like never ever before?) and just hung out, playing guitar, singing and naming this years camp for Reading? ... Is that really what it is? Haha T-shirts will go to print soon. Awsome time, that friday night was! At least for me. I know two other people who really didn't feel good at all, and I can tell you, the last 10 minutes of my evening - the two became three. It's all good though. Summer's here!
Saturday: PAINTBALL!!! The rain was pouring down and we were completely hungover from the night before... Headed out to the field, put our masks on and shot our enemies to death. And being the former Counter Strike player that I am, I did some cool rolling around in the mudd- moves and stuff. Go go go! I do have some boo-boos though. >:| But I loved it and I'll be doing that again! Later that night we sat around in the sun (yeah, the sun then came out - timing?!), smoked waterpipe and chilled. It was good. Thanks Acke (:
Sunday: Dennis came over and cooked us a 5/5 dinner! Ohhh... So good! Sat up really late, drinking wine and talking randoms.
Monday: DIF - Gävle. 2-1 YEAH! Am I really enjoying soccer?
I think I might cuz I was wearing the team tee and both cheering and boo'ing...
Today
Tursday: I now have an egg. "Enrico". For a whole week, wherever I go Enrico goes.
I bet "Sowfie" will die first...
Tomorrow
Wednesday: CATHRINE COMES HOME! + CATHRINES 20th Birthday! WHEY!
I could go on like this forever. (:
Without order nothing can exist - without chaos nothing can evolve.
I seem to have forgotten what it was like before...
That's the way it goes, they say. I smile and nod when I really want to... Yeah. Whatever.
They also say I'm strong. This is funny because people are generally really weak.
We (by we, I mean humanity) tend to take every chance we get to crash and crack.
Fuck, It's easier that way!
Lets sulk in selfpity for a while and hope the world stops to see our tears and give us a great big ole' hug.
Better yet, lets keep hinting our sorrow, waiting for someone to take the empty seat next to us so we can blame our sorry existence on the demanding world today, together.
So fuckin' pathetic... Makes me sick.
Havn't we understood anything by now?
Don't we know that the world won't tell us that it's all going to be okay?
No, I'm not strong. I'm just not dumb.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life;
it goes on.
- Brandon Lee
And so it goes...
Right? (;

Girl on the wing
And I could smile. Even in the rain. And I danced.
Not so much about the who but more about the where and when.
The who just let me take more of it in. I'll never forget it.
The way I wrote, saw, spoke and felt. It was different then...
I'm hoping it will give you the same experience. I truly do.
If only for one day.
Things change.
And sometimes you loose track. And sometimes you think you're on track when really you're so completely far off. But you just keep walking, hoping to be back dancing in the rain.
Yeah, so the story goes, right? Just having one of those nights...
Maybe because my weekend was so great and warming, it brought back that smile.
Maybe I can be lost with you?
Yeah, things change. As it brings some closer toghether it sometimes pushes others away.
I love you, I still do. Eventhough it's been ages since we last shared a smile...
Happy 21'st Acke!
The Simple Life
She said her clock is ticking. And I just looked at her.
She wasn't shining.
I will whisper a song in your ear
Oh the things you've been missing my dear
If you remember the tune
It's all I can do
Just remember I wrote it for you.
Last round.
I kicked his ass, as most of you saw. Yeah! ... Eventhough I was guessing half the time...
It was really alot of fun eventhough I didn't make it all the way. That other dude beat me with only one question!
Bastard fisherman. >.<
Thought it'd be great to win some money since the lack of it has been such a struggle lately.
I hate money. I deteste it. Despise it. If I had all the money in the world I'd burn it.
Or maybe first use it to like build schools, houses, wells and grow crops all over the world...
But then I'd burn the rest.
Camping in Trosa was so damn great. We partied all Saturday and stayed 'till Sunday.
Weather was just great, nothing went wrong at all. The tent took a while putting together and people (Cat) were crabby at times, but it all worked out and a few Lemon Drops later we were down at the market buying things we'll never use again. Good times, guys. Thanks so much! Marika, we missed you though.
Next time. Oh there will be a next time. (:
Love you guys. Really. <3
I'm working on the Easy way to quit smoking now. Yeah. I read that chapter. And the chapter after that.
Yeah, I think we can do this Allen. I really think we can.
And it's going to be the best thing I've ever done. I can't wait!
Got some planning to do though. Very simple stuff, but I gotta do more than just think about doing it.
It is time! Oh, and don't worry. I'll definitely keep you posted.
Go easy on the shibby.
Shibby!
" W E E K E N D "
Pics uploaded from this "weekend" (Tuesday - Thursday), feels like Sunday today...
The cruise, the day after and the day after that.
Shibby!
Marre being cute!
Chillin... How did he
spill his drink? Hehe.
Marre, Me and Cat.
What after-pyjama-party?
The sweetest thing
I met on the boat.
Marre going nuts...
Wait, what time is it?
" S A T U R D A Y "
Just woken up...
Good 4 hours of sleep!
And tell me you don't have
the prettiest eyes, Cat...
The best place for that kebab...
Yummm...
" S U N D A Y "
SO pretty...
I'm totally grabbing
her boobie! Grrr...
Windsurfing!
Couldn't quite do it...
Close, but not good enough.
Hurray! There we go! (:
Yepp. And tomorrow's friday all over again...
xoxo

Media Whore
Me and Dennis @ Ordjakten TV4, on Monday 14.00 ?
Naah, I'm just kidding. But I'm pretty damn certain I'm not actually.
Yeah... I can't make it clearer than that or Dennis'll be crabby. ;-)
But if you need me to be any clearer, I feel really sorry for you - you sad sad person.
Cinderella again! Indeed! Different crew this time...
Marika, Acke, Cathrine and myself had a great 24 hours on the boat!
I'll fill you in on the details as soon as I get all the pics back and ready to update.
Came home though, finally. Tired and exhausted - as usual after a cruise - lit a bunch of candles, brought my cigarettes, alot of chocolate and a book and got in the bath. The best thing I've done in a really long time...
As for the easy way to quick smoking, I might've stod my buddy Allen Carr up. See, the next chapter's called "Planning" and I only know what lays before me so I havn't picked up that book in a while...
Gah!
Caring Is Creepy
Ever had someone say something really special to you?
It's those moments you say you'll never forget.
Ever noticed how time then flies by and you havn't given those words another thought since that era?
Isn't it funny how when we later in life find ourselves in similar positions, the words that person once told us couldn't be any clearer. And all of a sudden you're back in that moment and remember exactly how it was said, facial expressions and any other details like scents, colors etc...
I've been having those kinds "flashbacks" alot lately.
Yeah, they can still make me smile...
Friday was great! Oh how we played, drank, talked shit, sang...
Alot of drama though, for an ordinary friday night, but that's okay. We'll cope.
Yesterday was a good day too. Met up an old friend from the past. The past? Sat at some bar in Stockholm with a group of cool people after some serious PS3'ing! (Wii for president.)
So today the girls came over for some catching up. Played Kubb, watched a movie, smoked some waterpipe...
Oh, and had some GREAT vanilla ice cream and strawberries! Yummm...
Can't wait for Tuesday! Whoppah! (:
Uhm, that'll be all for tonight. Really. Very. Sleepy...
Ice Coffee
Ashley's coming in August now?
I might be going to Borås to visit Ida soon?
It's taking a new spin? Interesting...
Hello to You. (:

You Ate My Dog
Rock and Cult presents Moshpit Open!
Cat and I were videotaping the festival for the DVD coming out soon! Meaning, whoring around the bands, trying to get them to do something fun for the camera. Trying to get the emo kids to crack a smile was actually really very difficult so we focused on the bands and the crew - them being our friends- the DVD's gonna rock!
Really great to see the boys of Allstarkid again and finally get to see you play! Me likey! ;)
Chilling with the crowd, standing in here and there, filming both on and back-stage, meeting and greeting the bands... And eventually, when everyone had gone and the doors were closed... Cat and I had our own performance on stage. Haha too bad it wasn't cought on tape. Felt really drunk from being just so very tired. Spent around 14 hours at the park counting only yesterday. But we really shouldn't bitch, we wern't there today helping to clean up...
I could go into details, but I just read Cathrine's blog and she did so for you swedish readers-
see her site. (Find link to the right.)
Good work everyone!
We pulled through and it was a success! Too bad Schubb didn't play though...
Creds to Allstarkid, YouAteMyDog, Far Above (not so much for their music as for their personalities), Avdenture Kid and the other bands that kept it going eventhough the power went out and other mishaps.
GREAT WORK EVERYONE!
Oh, I feel like listening to The Shins really badly right now... Let's do that. Kay, there. Done.
"New Slang" is just so soothing and gets me thinking of the movie Garden State.
Still one of my alltime favourite movies. Saw the Amelie movie tonight, that's going on my top 5 too.
I hear Ashley's down to visit sooner than expected! Maybe even next week?!
Gah, I can't wait to have you here, Belty!
As for the easy way to quit smoking... I've been taking time to read it, not yet through but it has me really interested. I'm all in for this experiment. Dying to find out if he can "cure" me, just as he supposedly has 95% of the ones having read the book. So far he's brilliant. He's really captures my intrest, I thought I'd be bored by now and smoking more than ever... But he's letting me smoke just as much as I always do while reading it, so I'm guessing he's got a brilliant plan. He calls it a "magic button", he hasn't pressed it yet, but he's prepairing me for it.
I love my morning coffee and cigarette though! Do I want to quit? Really? ... He has remedies for this kind of thinking, he keeps reminding me how I'm brain washed and I believe him. This smoking thing has to come to an end. Yeah. I really do want to quit. I really do. Lets do this Allen Carr, we can do it!
As for everything else... Oh well. I'm still smiling.
Haha whatever... Let's leave it at that.
... Lovely.
And a note that said...
I mean really, right?!
E-mails back and forth. I honestly still love them.
I miss my Starbucks coffee. Alot. Miss getting up early in the morning and ending up at Starbucks, people watching and writing. I miss the weather. It's alot like todays weather! In mid winter! :) I miss looking forward to fridays nights, knowing something spectacular's going to happen. I miss the actual fridaynights, in the mist of the magic. I miss my cousin Shante terribly. I miss our comedy nights, shopping days and The Cheesecake Factory! I miss all of his friends that soon became my friends. I miss roadtripping to Reno, I miss the actual shit going down in Reno... I miss sharing the insidejokes - oh, there were so many... I miss the fest of my family and friends back "home" too. I miss people saying my english is too propper (likewise), I miss people saying my english is too sloppy (the thingy on the ting). I miss having to proove to people I was from Sweden. I miss endless phonecalls with Mackan, Jason and Ashley about anything and everything. I miss the smells... I miss my room, my books and my bed. I miss going to sleep at night not knowing what tomorrow has to offer. I miss cerial. Oh god how I miss cerial! Fruitloops and Captain Crunch! And Airheads, Nerds, Ben&Jerry's Chocolatechip Cookiedough Icecream! And NO Jeff, NOT the one without sugar... Even with the munchies it's just not sufficient! ;) I miss New Years 2006-2007. I miss playing Wario on the Wii, intoxicated. I miss making dinner when Aunty Sharon just couldn't find time. I miss... Ohhhh... I miss Village Host Pizza. Miss jumping on the trampoline with Talia and Jacob. I miss meeting new cool people all the time, miss Jeffs apartment, his room-mate's doggy- he was such a joy to make fun of. I miss killing Thomas for the cupcakes, miss Straights - the only karaokebar that didn't ID at the door. I miss all the damn good times... Damn good...
...I could go on and on and on... Honestly.
I really do love the e-mails.
I guess I'm feeling a bit homesick.
But while there... The list of things, places and people I miss are pretty damn long too.
It's obviously about living in the moment. Even while here there are things about right here and now that I miss terribly. It's going to so awsome to have Ashley here for a few weeks. :)
Ouh, enough missing, yeah?
The "Looking Forwards" too:
* Moshpit Open on Saturday! (http://www.moshpitopen.com)
* Mine and Sofias next rapsong coming out! ;)
* Our cruise next month!
* Ashley coming to visit!
* The trips planned! (Hungary, Gotland and ofc Reading Festival)
* A job... So I can make reality out of my dreams for travel...
Couldn't sleep - all of the above came to mind.
Nighty night. (:
Ps. And yeah... Sorry to disappoint you, but my friends are still better than yours! By far!
37mm
HEY all my friends and aquaintances, I've missed you! :)
So what's Jilly Billy been up to, you might all wonder?
-Naturally sinse you're reading this right now...
Uhm, well, where to start?
Oh, the Idol thing didn't go very well. We had a good time hanging out and stuff, but when it was my turn, my nervousness about being nervous kicked in and I was sooo nervous about being nervous. Yeah. I know... So I really made a fool out of myself and I'll probably be shown on TV as you know... One of those...
Haha, that's life for you! But thanks guys for pushing me anyway. I really had a great time! (:
This weekend was fun! We hung out with some old classmates from a while back, really great to see them all again! Weird phonecalls got us pretty freaked out tho'... Haha? Aside from that, a GREAT evening and I doubt anyone there could say any different. :) Saturday I helped out my boys, painting signs and whatever nots, for the Moshpit Open Festival this Saturday. Bring your tent and friends, come see bands and have a kickass time!

"Svin-random vilket pepp det blir på härket!"
I got this book called "The easy way to quick smoking" by Allen Carr and this book is supposed to work like magic. We'll see. If it does I'll be getting every smoker I know this book. I guess I'm kinda' hoping this'll be it. Pretty stupid to rely on a book but I'm sick and tired of smoking, and really, I can't afford it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
As for my routines... I havn't decided on when they actually start? So I've been prosponing them, as the routine type-person I am... Right. Well, I'll keep you posted on that note as well.
Ashley's arrival here in Stockholm seems to be around early July and I can't wait! Gah!
Oh, dear diary, there's so much really, I don't know where to begin.
Maybe I'll just leave it at that for now and collect my thoughts later this evening.
Heron tonight. See you later!
Yeah.
Endlessly, She said
So here I sit. With my glass of white whine, glistening. And tonight it's looking unbelievably ravishing. My music is playing softly in the background as I'm full of thoughts.
So completely uplifted. It's this feeling that I cannot describe.
Not last night and not tonight...
I've tried for about 17 minutes now, only to delete it all for the sake of inadequacy.
AFI - Arenan 12/5 - 2007
Fuckin' magical...
Again, and like always nowadays ... I feel so damn busy.
I'm not sure what exactly it is that I'm doing with my time really, but I very rarely get the chance to just sit down for a moment and breathe. Like, really breathe...
I've realized I'm the only one to blame so my days of complete and utter extrovertism must come to end.
So some new routines will now enter my life and I plan on sticking to them religiously.
I like to think.
But lately I've felt as if I have no time for even just that. I havn't thought in a long time.
Hectic, not only physically but yeah, menthally too.
From early yesterday morning - afternoon and especially night, I thought alot.
Thank you so much Marika. I really appreciate all your support (and humor ;) !
Also worth mentioning tonight are Cat and Dennis.
<3
Yeah... I did.
I auditioned for Idol - 2007. And I went on to the second round! Ha!
So now, thursday is the big day.
-So bug gulps, huh?
Save your scissors for someone elses skin
Writing never takes the place of living.
But I need her arms, I need her smile again.
You put yourself in this position.
I'll wait this out.
In the end, the true ones will still be at my side.
You can have the rest. I don't want them anyway.
I just never thought you'd be one of them...
But through the tangled thread the needle finds a way...
Live for the nights...
A beautiful day in the beautiful sun with a beautiful person.
Saturday was great and I couldn't thank you enough.
Yesterday I cleaned out a space I hadn't looked through for about 7-8 years.
Always adding new things throughout the years but never throwing anything away.
I remember why I kept that golfball, who sent me those cards, left me those notes.
I remember why I kept that chocolate wrap, saved the gloves, all the tamaguchies.
There was just so much there...
I guess I had trouble going through it all, deciding on what to keep and what get rid of.
How does one put something in the trash that's ment so much in the past?
But I did. I finally did. Not all of it of course. Not even alot of it... But I did my best.
(:
Last night we tried to end the game of Kuri Kuri. We're were so close, we could feel it!
But naturally Cathrine had to leave for work (Read work in a highpitch-nazal tone of vioce), so we didn't defeat that boss. Funny how we can get on eachothers nerves, yell, be dramatically sarcastic and even almost evil to eachother for just the sake of beating this goddamngame! Haha...
Oh, Ashley's coming to visit soon!
Bringing the Bay Area to Stockholm to show them what it's all about!
Live for the nights you'll never remember with the friends you'll never forget.
I guess it'll all work out.
Does one ever go numb?
I miss you terribly...
. . .
This will always make me smile.
And as things go as they shouldn't
It'll all be worth while.
Looking back is pointless
Just keep on walking straight.
The future will be spotless
As we learn from our mistakes.
Jill Adam
