Emiliana Torrini, If You Go Away


I love this song that is originally by Jacque Bel. I usually hate covers. But this one is really beautiful. I can't stop listening to it...

It's the sound of my shoes...

Started looking through some old photos... Well not that old. But it was fun anyway. Well at least I thought so. So I hope you'll think so too. Kind of making up for not writing for ages. Well you are the ones to decide if I succeeded I guess...Got bugged...Happy girl after seeing Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Oh That feeling...Me and my old flat mate Niki whom I never see now days...What's that sound? I like that sound... I love that sound... It's the sound of my shoes...
The blond one. I love this pic. I would love to be a natural blond but I would hate to colour it again...Yes it was made by professionals, and no, I couldn't be bothered to keep it nice...And last but not least. My lovely sister...

Portfolio











One of my assignments for school is to get my portfolio together. So I thought I'd give you a couple of pics if you are interested...

Schools out for good.


Tomorrow is my last day at school. last day before university. If I get in that is.
I have to start writing here again. I haven't had time for so long. And that I do have time again it feels like I've lost the habit.

All, cross your fingers for me tomorrow. I'm going to get my grades. Cross fingers that they are on time so I can print them and send them in to university.

Niclas has had the flu now for 3 weeks. I miss the real Niclas. I feel like a bad girlfriend. But I really took care of him the first week, then I went to England for a week, and the third week he went back to work which I protested. Now he is back home. I can't stand his cough. And he is no fun. I feel selfish in saying that. But it's like he has been away for 3 weeks, the real Niclas I mean.
I hope he gets well soon. I miss him.

It's weird knowing that I won't be going to school anymore. It feels like I've forgotten something. But I don't know what, that's the trouble. I hope it's just a feeling. I keep going over everyting for tomorrow, so that I haven't forgotten anything. But I can't think that I have. I hate that feeling. It makes me all nervous and distressed. I don't think I'll be able to relax until I have my grades written down on paper.

Fingers and toes crossed. I am so nervous.
Ps. First picture is me when I am about 4 at my Grans house. Second picture is me in my Halloween costume I made when I was 7, also taken at my grans.

Me x 2


Hello dearies...
Now that I really don't have time I cant seem to hold myself away...
But I just finished another essay so I get to blog a little bit...
Today is Thursday (well it is really Friday morning, but I havn't gone to bed yet so it still counts as Thursday). On Tuesday I smoked 4 cigarettes, on Wednesday two and today I haven't smoked any. What about that ey?

Also, I went to get my passport today. So here's a picture of my old picture and my new one. Can you tell which is which? One of them is from now, and the other one is when I was 17. If you fail to guess which is which you'll get some spanking.

The rococo drow warrior with elephant legs...


Hello darlings..
This week is completely mad. It seems like when ever i actually have time to write i am completely wrecked! Like today.

I had a great day though. Today I played along in the dark room at school for 7 hours! I didn't realize I had been there that long until I had to leave and hurry home. It was my second time ever in a dark room, last time was about 5 years ago. But I got some quite good photos in the end. I will see if I can scan them for you later...

Hurried home, ate lunch on the tube (a really boring sandwich I bought, it served as lunch and dinner), had a ten minute bath and hurried off to a photo shoot for the fantasy calendar again. This time I was a Drow and got to play with swards. Still haven't seen pictures from the other two photo shoots for the calendar though. They are still at the graphic designer, but I've heard rumours that one of the pictures is almost finished... Not sure if I can publish it here though until the actual calendar has been published. But I'll ask.

Oh and by the way. As usual i was appointed the role of the "noble" Drow. I don't know what it is but I ALWAYS get to play the nice girl or the noble. HAHA

But come on! I want to play bad-ass! Well at least I got to handle some swards while looking like Marie Antoinette... (shown in picture above.)

Got home around 11 pm dead tired. I tried to watch a film but I'm too tired even for that... I really should sleep, but Niclas will probably be home in half an hour so I'm trying to stay awake anyway. What I really should be doing is finishing me essay. I am almost done. But I decided to do that tomorrow morning instead.

My legs feel like something belonging to an elephant. They are already sleeping. I think I should join them soon...

Sour times


Cheerio! (By greeting you like that I seem fun alert and interesting, but I am actually tired as hell...)

I haven't been in now for some time. Sorry about that. I had a lovely stay in London and in Rattlesden which is the home of my grandparents. It hasn't been the most relaxing trip though and I havn't really had time to rest since I got home either so i am completely nackerd. At the moment I am sorry to say I won't be writing a lot. This week is just packed with schoolwork that has to be in by Monday. So by the middle of next week I will hopefully be back and about.
Right now I hardly have time to sleep. i just want to sleep...

Hope your week is calmer.

Love /G

Ps. I give you a really old picture of me. Hope you're at least a little satisfied... I'll get better soon. Promise.

Cheerio! xxxx

Tired today...

Hello my little friends. Not much time to write today. I have things to do and am still sooooo tired. I've slept 9 hours, which is kind of normal, but quite a lot for me! But still I feel exhausted! I have seen a couple of pictures on the net already, but I'll wait until I get the final pictures before I upload any here. So I can pick out the best that is! For the time being you can check out http://littlepeache.webblogg.se/2010/november/your-closet.html where there are some pictures from yesterday... :) xxxx

After the show...

This lady is sooooo darn tired. Woke up at 1.30am and couldnt sleep. At half past 4 I gave up. Had to get up at 5 anyhow. Down the runway you go... Jesus. I can barely stand, but I had a fantastic day. The show went great thanks to the adrenaline. Otherwise I would never had made it. Haha, no of cause I would, but the adrenaline helped I can tell you. Jesus christ I am so tired and its only ten past 8pm. I am going to bed. And I am going to sleep like a little baby, I can tell you that much. I'll post some pictures from today when I get them. (Didn't bring my own camera.) Goodnight darlings. Hope you sleep as well as I will....

The Postmarks - No One Said This Would Be Easy

Sometimes you don't realize what you have. It is at times like this, when everything is dark and I am down, that I realize what a wonderful boyfriend I have. First a late supper, then baking cinnamon rolls aka kanelbullar in the middle of the night. I'll give you pics later. Did I tell you that I am in love?

And I want to share this song with you. I didn't know it was some kind of soundtrack to James Bond. Is it really? Anyway, it is a great song. xxx

Dreams


Time for essays. Colonialism is on the agenda. Mostly I'd like to finnish one of my short stories. But no time for that tonight. Mostly I would like a Blood & Sand and some company. London next week. I cant wait to get away. Lovely lovely London. Me, myself and my book. It seems like dreamland... Where would you go?

My nr 5 dream places to go are (in no particular order):

  • Somewhere close to the sea and with mountains. Maybe Iceland or Ireland.
  • The dessert. Where ever it may be.
  • Kap Verde, The island with the sunken ship.
  • India and Tibet
  • Walking through the English country side.
  • On a train trip through Asia.
Where would you go?

Time for tea I think...

The owls are not what they seem...

Who killed Laura Palmer? I could watch Twin Peaks all day long. Oh I love it. On season 2 now. It is scary... At least I have the Log Lady. Lynch is a genius. For you who haven't seen Twin Peaks: Do it now!

Shoes!

On Saturday I will be walking the catwalk at a fashion show. I cant post pictures of my outfit, but I'll be sure to post you a pic later. Today though I have gone through what shoes to wear, of course I am not the one who chooses though, but we had to bring our own shoes. So I took some pic of my favourite shoes. Just for the record, here they come.

These are one of my absolute favourites, though I seldom find the the right time to wear them. I bought them in New York last fall.Another pair of favourites, my Kookai shoes from France. One of my best bargains. I love them.My latest pair. I think I posted a photo of these before. Old gran's shoes are my favourite. :)And here is a little give away. These I will be wearing on the catwalk on Saturday. My goldies. I've had these for ages. Can't remember when I got them.

Well that's that. Today is a grey day. And they have started drilling again.... :(
I thought I'd try to write an essay today. Might have to wear earplugs though...

2010-11-09

C, M

I just want to be near my sisters now. Hold them tight and close. Tell them how much I love them.

I love you so much. Please understand. I love you.
This night is fucked up. There is something. It has been fucked up since beginning of spring. I can't tell anyone about it, though I guess some people already know. I am so tired of being stuck in the middle of other peoples problems. That makes them my problems. Tonight I actually made my statement very clear. I don't know if it will help. And it hurts horribly. Because with this I am hurting someone else. Some secrets are not meant to be kept. Because they hurt others to much. There are three people I really wish I could talk to. But this other person has to go first. He will never get the chance. He must take the chance. And I am waiting. I have been waiting all my life. Will it ever happen?

These are a few of my favourite things...


  • To be creative
  • Writing stories or essays
  • Baking
  • Reading
  • Drawing
  • Drink wine and take bubble baths
  • Singing
  • To feel the calm to do these things, which I seldom do.
Today is one of those days when I dream of doing all these things but can't bring myself to doing them. Ok. I will jump in the bath now. And then try to be creative. I need something to do today. The snow makes me want to tuck myself into bed again. But that's not the way to do it.

An Island.


They are opening some kind of shop, office or something on the floor below us. So I wake up to drilling every morning. I have never experienced drilling so loud! I sounds like someone is actually drilling themselves through the wall into our bedroom! This morning there was no drilling though. There was snow storm. I managed to change my header at last. So I am a little proud of myself. What do you think?

This picture was taken this morning. The view from our living room. I think I will stay indoors today...

What do you do when the weather is terrible and you stay at home. My boyfriends gone down with a cold so he'll probably play computer games or sleep all day. What do you do?

Dear darkness


Does someone know how to change the header of my blogg? I feel I need a bit of a change...

Every day is getting darker, and I have decicions to make, things to do. But I just want to hide under a warm blanket and sleep through winters bitterness. No more cold or dark. I don't want this any more. Why am I in this cold country!? 6 months until it starts getting warmer... What am I doing here?

Natural blues - Moby

This song just makes me want to shrivel up and die. It makes all pains feel heavier. It is soon winter.

Devendra Banhart - Insect Eyes

I love this song. Of course it is one of many. Denvendra Banhart is really a genius. And he has the most amazing fragile voice. It just gives me goosebumps...

Dear Blogg...


Dear Blogg,

You have now been my friend since may. I feel we have become very close, and I have spilled my heart for you many 'a time. But still, you havn't unfolded for me. I feel I know so little about you. You always wear the same clothes and the same moods, it would be nice to see all aspects of you don't you think? Maybe you can show me your true colour one day. You know, I think change is important. We need to change sometimes to feel a little alive and crazy. Our relationship needs to move forward. It feels like we are a bit stuck. It's easy when you are in love to isolate yourself from the rest of the world. But I think you should be more out going. Maybe some coments would do it. Maybe changing the header. This is really hard for me, I think we need help to solve our problems.
Maybe there are people out there who have been in a similar situation and could give us some advise?

I know it is hard sometimes Bloggy, but we are in this together. I won't let you down.
Yours sincerely

Gabrielle

Partys gone out of bounds...


Waiting for pizza delivery. Oh how good it feels to have a man... ;)
Fantastic party yesterday. Long since I saw all the people that were there. When our friends Hanna and Anders went to bed we went to grab some food and then moved the party to Peters apartment. Niclas and I came home around 6 in the morning and stayed up watching old Tom & Jerry and Pluto films on youtube. So we weren't in bed until 8! I was hungover yesterday, but today is worse I can tell you. What better day to eat pizza and watch Twin Peaks!?

2010-11-06

Smoke and Mirrors.



Very hungover after last night. Weird evening I can tell you. Though Gotan Project were great.
Tonight I am heading to a party at a friends house. They moved in over a year ago. But they are having their "move in"-party tonight. Before I go though I will be heading to one of my favourite bars. The bartender there promised me to make me a special coctail inspired by England. This ws last week. He told me to come back this week becous he had to fix a sertain licour for my coctail. Isn't that sweet. So I hope he is working tonight. And I hope I'll be left alone. I just want to sit down, enjoy my cocktail and read my book.

I was inspired by http://natalylopezz.blogg.se for my hairdo of tonight. Thanks!
