Two dollar shoes

Today is the day ladies and gentlemen! I have decided to be healthy again, no more lying around in bed not being able to eat or drink, having fever. Today I am well. Welcome back Gabrielle!

My morning started with washing the dishes. I enjoyed it, I enjoyed drinking coffee, haven't drunk it for days. Washing clothes in the washing machine, now a long bath, change the sheets wash away all my illness. Today I start again. I'm back. This perfectly normal morning is beautiful and perfect. I'm going to put on my favorite dress and go out in the sun.

"I put my favorite white dress on, and my two dollar shoes. Tie my hair up the way you like, make you see that I´m still in love with you. It's gonna be so great, it's gonna be just like my wedding day..."


This video is pretty crappy. But I don't think there is a music video to this song. So don't bother watching the video, just listen to the song.

Hope you have a great day. I will. xxx

(Sorry haven't done many photo shoots lately. Will do and then publish the photos. Soon.)

Tonsils

Had a wonderful midsummers with all the best people. Then on midsummers day we went out to our friend Peters summerhouse out in the Swedish archipelago. Or it isn't really his summer house, he is grown up there and his parents still live in the house.. We had a wonderful time though very tired after midsummers eve. The scenery is so beautiful out there. It's amazing.

I awoke in the middle of the night with so much pain in one of my tonsils I just couldn't stop crying. Couldn't speak or swallow. After two painkillers I managed to sleep a little but not much. So today we were at the hospital. They didn´t know what is was. Said it probably was just a cold and that I should continue taking painkillers. So I went home. Painkillers are not working. I have been crying and pacing up and down the hall all day. Not eaten not drunk. Managed to get some water with a pil down. For people who are dehydrated. Well I guess I needed it. Havn't drunk all day. Not hungry though I should be. Just want to throw things in the wall. Make noises make things break. I have the worst temper ever, my throat is hurting and I dont know what to do. And guess what? They do not remove tonsils from grown ups. You hacve to have major problems, and then I mean like 5 times a year. I have this shit maybe one a year and it is absolutely the most painful thing ever. Happy birthday.

The sun is shining... The summer is here for REAL! Two more days of schoolwork, then I have to be finished, can´t see how I will be. But I will.. Really looking forward to when all this is over, the weekend, midsummer's eve with all my friends... Last midsummer's was the best I ever had, I hope this one will be as good. It´s not always easy organizing it all but I think we got in the routine from last year. We buy pickled herring, nubbe, bread, salad, potatoes and vickning and stuff for lunch for everyone (They all get a receipt on how much they pay for all the stuff) and everyone brings what they want to grill for the evening. I woke up this morning with a dream that I was out at a party with all my friends, everyone was there, and I just couldn't be a part of it cause I had so much to do. When I got back to the party everyone was having the time of their lives, and they had already been there for a couple of hours so people where starting to get drunk and I was completely sober and not at all in a party mood. I think that's how I feel right now, that I am left over and can't join the party because I've got so much to do. Tonight I would LOVE to see John Grant at Strand. Check out his song Queen of Denmark. It is SO GOOD. It just makes me want to cry and scream. It is that kind of song that makes you feel bad. small an vulnerable but still makes you feel stronger. It's beautiful. I love the way how he experiments with his music, it was long since I heard something new that good. (Or is he new? I don't know, but he´s new to my ears.)

Photographing a project on food for school, pretty boring, but I can say there are worse ways of studying than sitting at Restaurant Landet in Telefonplan having cocktails, starters and desert! The other pictures are of the restaurant. I strongly recommend you to go and eat there the price is medium. Not very cheap but not that expensive. Though I should say, the food is absolutely fantastic.Well worth the price.

A Tigroness Fantasy...




At last I have got the lovely pictures from Evguenia. It has been worth the waiting I can tell you. There is a lot of work behind them. I am really impressed. Can you see it's me? I mean I can see it, but I don´t know if others can. I am the Tigroness a cross between tiger and lion.

A lot of working lately, and school work. I am writing a short story for school that I am rely pleased with. I will publish it when it is finished. But you will have to wait a while. When I send it to my teacher he runs it through a database to see that I havn´t stolen it from somewhere. It would be kind of ironic if that database found my blog and thought I'd stolen it from here...

Short update...








So my birthday came and went. I gave in for Popdakar, the music festival I wrote about. We had a picnic and it was really nice weather. I dug up all my old mix tapes and played a few. Later in the evening a couple of us went to see DAF. I had a wonderful day but I don´t really feel any older... I´ve already adapted to the thought of being 22.

Today I started writing a novel that I have to write for school. Very John Ajvide-esque if I whould say so my self. I havn´t written that much yet though. But I´ve really got the story going in my head. Actually quite impressed with myself. It was a long time since I wrote any stories... Well I still havn´t written it. But I´m on the go. I´ve got tons of schoolwork to do before midsummer so there won´t be much time for updates unfortunately. Otherwise looking forward to shooting with Alexander (http://alexanderbergstrom.blogspot.com) sometime soon...


The photographs are from a photo shoot I had with Johan Margulis this spring. My hair has grown a lot since then. I´m trying to get it long, I havn´t had long hair since I was in 8th grade and got home and took out the kitchen scissors...

Check out Johan's other stuff, they are amazing...
