Er det noen som vil være modell for meg på onsdag mellom 8:00 og 17:00? Jeg trenger helst gutter. Det ene bildet skal være av tre stykker, i bar overkropp hvor den ene skal ha noe skrift på overkroppen sin. Om dere vil ha et bilde av bare dere, i litt mer naturlig setting så kan jeg ta det også, som "betaling" :D. Pliiiis hjelp meg, glad i dere.

Christmas this year was really good. It was even nice to sit around with the family, for a change. Oh well. Christmas dinner was great. I'm still full. We had turkey with potatoes, waldorf salad, sauce and red cabage (?). For dessert mum made crème brûlée and fruit salad. Mmmm.

After a round of Buzz sports (which is a horrible horrible game, and I lost, of course) we started opening our gifts. I got:

Black ipod nano 8 gig
Toaster maker
200 kroner gift card to Free recordshop
Ugly purse (trading it)
Blue thermos
Mascara
Cup (Eraser style, [info]spug also got)
Chocolate
1300 kroner
Wine (from work)
The Little Mermaid Special Edition (from [info]kaldtblod <3)
Typisk Norsk Season 1 DVD (from [info]spug"
Nintendo panties (from [info]spug)
A Softer World T-shirt (being in love is totally punk rock from [info]spug)
Tea and a stirring stick (from [info]spug)
Kamikaze rabbits (from [info]spug)
The greatest cup in the world with a lid and tea (from [info]spug's parents)

Today I got up at 8AM, I was really tired from getting home at 1.30AM. I put my cellphone in my back pocket. Note the back pocket. I went upstairs because I really had to pee. I got in, started taking off my pants when I hear a PLOOP, and there goes my cell down into the toilet. I reacted really fast and just grabbed it. Yes, my hand down into the water. No peepee or poopoo, but so disgusting. I used a hairdryer to semi-dry it. It didn't want to start, but after a couple of hours in my bag it works ok. The screen is a little odd, but ok.

I cleaned my hands about a hundred times, and put alcohol on my hands. I even washed the "shell" in the washer at work.

I'm never putting my cellphone in my back pocket ever again.

Ok, I guess I should write some stuff about last week. As I wrote I saw Alexisonfire which was the best concert in ages ... or at least a couple of months. The day was all in all pretty good from beginning to ending. I delivered the last school assignment which turned out pretty good. Then I visited [info]kaldtblod, and [info]spug was there. We goofed around for a while. Then I left, bought some beers and met Marius for the first time in 1.5 years. It was awesome. He's gotten so many tattoos and he's a vegetarian now. We hung out for a while, picked up another guy and went to the smallest appartment ever where we ended up listening to music (Comeback Kid) and drank our beers. Around 9PM we walked down to John Dee to catch the concert (we were 7 people by now). The ticket checking guy asked me for ID, but he added: "NOT that I don't think you're older than 18!". Haha.

The warm up band, Cancer Bats, started as soon as we got in. They were OK, didn't really make me dance or anything. I did enjoy how psyced they were about playing for Alexisonfire, though. They meantioned it like 15 times.

As soon as they finished we fought our way to the front. I stood to the left of the stage to be in front of Dallas. The band were all on stage fixing stuff. Everyone in the crowd went semi-mad. When they started playing it was like something hit you so hard in the stomach you could hardly breathe (mainly the people behind pushing, but some energy from stage as well). The whole set was so great. During the whole thing both George and Dallas shook my hand, sang to me, with me and touched my head during the concert. I was already in heaven when the whole thing was over.

We hung around for a while though, hoping for the guys to ocme out. They did. By then I had bought a Alexisonfire (selftitled album) on "12 vinyl. I got it signed (Dallas, Chris and George). Seeing as it was still early I just continued hanging around. I spoke some to Dallas about City and Colour and about the show. He will probably be coming to Norway as City and Colour in a year or two. I hope he does at least. When I was done speaking (George was yet to sign my 12") I met George. He found a pen (<3) and signed it. Then some people came and stole him and spoke for a long time. I just stood there. It was nice though, he kept looking at me to include me in the conversation. I was really shy for some reason. I think it was because he's George Pettit and I've been a fan of his for a while. Anyway. They left and he came over to say hi. We shook hands and spoke about normal things. I told him I study photography. After a couple of minutes a horny girl came over and started rubbing him all over. He just stood there and smiled awkwardly at me. When she left to flirt with Dallas we made fun of her. I had to leave though, it was close to midnight and I was sleeping WITH [info]kaldtblod's (thank you!). I said goodbye and George took a mental picture of me to remember me next time they came, and told me to take pictures next time as well. I hugged him, because I am a fan girl.

I got to [info]kaldtblod and fell asleep almost at once. We did speak some of how bad my alcohol breathe was and about Newman in the bathroom. Haha.

I also took pictures at the Jazzfest at Rockefeller. The pictures turned out shit, but I did meet Erlend from Killl and former JR Ewing (I hate writing that). It took me like 10 minutes just to walk over to him and tell him that I think he's talented.

I semi-updated my journal hardcore style.

I just finished my latest school assignment, and I thought I'd share the photographs I've been running around shoting the last couple of weeks. I'll just describe the photo and then show and maybe write a couple of sentences.

Picture One: Portrait without reflector
Well, I worked with [info]anna_ma on this picture (and the next picture as well (I mention this too much)). I'm not sure which one of the following pictures I'll use. Your thoughts?



Picture Two: Portrait with reflector
I'm not too sure about the crop here. [info]kaldtblod mentioned something about doing it differently. Show?


Picture Three: Movement and static
Well, my famous shoe picture returns. Again, the crop, too much air?


Picture Four: Object in dark
Ok, I'm really happy with this. It was the most difficult of the pictures in the beginning, but then I suddenly got this idea and POW it was done. It's such a clishé picture. Only thing I'm worried about is the darkness. It was sunset, so it wasn't really completly dark, but that would've been impossible. I just hope it's ok. But, which of the following two?



Picture Five: Portrait in the dark with one source of light
Ok, another two pictures. This time of my sister. The vertical picture I'm not so sure about because of the light in the wall. Comment?




You don't have to answer my questions, but if you have an opinion, please.

30 Polaroids of Polarbears

De siste dagene, for å ikke si ukene av mitt liv, har gått med til å ta bilder, men også til å bli tatt bilder av. En i klassen min, Peter Mydske bruke meg som modell til en oppgave vi har på skolen nå. Oppgaven er som følger: Eksisterende lys. Vi skal ta bilde av 1. en person på høylys dag uten reflektor. 2. Høylys dag med reflektor. 3. Statisk eksponering i mørke av objekt. 4. Mørkefotografering med en dokumentert bevegelse. 5. Portrett i mørke med en eksisterende lyskilde.

Han brukte meg på høylys dag uten reflektor. Vi tok bildene hjemme hos han, på Gaustad, i et badekar ute i hagen. Det var veldig fint vær, for en gangs skyld, og ok varmt. Vi brukte en god tid på å finne en måte å støtte badekaret på og å lage propp. Det ble til slutt noen plastposer. En stige ble brukt som standsted for fotografen. Han skulle stå ovenfor meg og ta bilde ned.

Vi gikk cirka 15 ganger hver fram og tilbake fra kjøkkenet for å fylle det med varmt vann (heldigvis). Etter at jeg hadde trynt ned en skråning og vrikket foten kraftig, helte vi 3 liter melk i karet, som gjorde at vannet ble hvitt. Røykaktig hvitt.

Jeg gruet meg litt for å gå nedi vannet, men jeg oppførte meg profesjonelt. Vannet var drittvarmt. Trodde det skulle være skikkelig kaldt, men heldigvis. Etter en god stund med småhyl fordi vannet var varmt og beina mine var kald, kom jeg med nedi. Det er rart hvordan varmt vann virker skikkelig kaldt når beina er semikalde fra før.

Jeg ble nedi vannet helt til det hadde helt forsvunnet ut den dårlige proppen. Her er noen av resultatene.




Jeg har også jobbet med Anna som modell. Hun var kjempegod å jobbe med. Bilder følger.

Må sikker LJ-cutte denne, men jeg tenker at det går bra. Klag om jeg MÅ!

On wednesday I got a phonecall from Topp 20 asking me to appear on their show friday. That would be friday the 20th. I was on the show a year and 2 weeks ago, as well. I was interviewed with Mew. (I didn't write about my appearence last year?! But Tobias did (in norwegian)) Anyway. [info]nattfisk sent me a popcard through the show: a really cute letter and a music video. I talked with the host, live, for a couple of minutes about crap. I said that meeting Karina was like soapbubbles bursting (of course) followed by a loud he   he. She sent me Comforting Sounds which Topp 20 aired.. [info]nattfisk is by far the best little girl ever.

But friday wasn't the only day I was on TV this week. Thursday, I think, I was on another show as well. Dunder on NRK. I helped a little kid play Wii at Electroworld and got more time on TV. I am famous. The camera man even rememebered me from Topp 20 a year ago. I think he was filming me in the sofa. Hilar.

I got a new task at school this week. We were to take a picture with a model. The picture was to reflect a feeling, as well as composition and camera technique. I'm really getting the hang of it. My curves are always perfect now.

Here's the picture.


Edit: Yesterday I saw JR Ewing play live for the last time ever :(. Heros and Zeros and Rumble in Rhodos were supporting. They were good. JR were the best. The last song they will ever play was Pitch Black Blonde, my favourite. It was sad.

I met [info]0hluliz :O!!!!!! I didn't even know who she was, I just looked stupidly at her. When she told me who she was, I told her I'm her fan ^__^

For the last couple of days I've been working for Bergsala (Nintendo) at Electroworld 2006 (were you there, or are you lost?). I'm pretty tired now, but I had a great time.

First and foremost, I got to try Nintendo Wii. It was the greatest. I tried Wario Ware (instructed the "press" in how to use it), The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess which I've been looking forward to for ages. It will be as great as you expect, perhaps more. Trauma Center, I never got the hang of it, but it could be a cool game, I just didn't try it for more than two minutes. And Wii Sports. I played tennis with [info]spug. Our team won.

Here is a picture of me with the wiimote )

The other days I mainly watched over kids playing Mario Kart, Double Dash and other games in the Gaming Zone. But I also helped some kids download Pokémons. I must have watched the Wii trailer about a gazillion times. I nearly know all the moves. I had a good time there. The best was when me and Ole went balloon hunting, and came back with more helium balloons than you've ever seen. We took helium breaks and laughed.

I got another cold sore. I think this is my 8th this year. I've gotten so used to it I don't even bother anymore. Only thing that sucks is that I can't smooch on the [info]spug :(

Today I am going to eat homemade food for the first time in a long time, and draw. I might take some photographs as well. And I shall listen to Snow Patrol.

Well, everyone know anyway, but me and [info]spug have been together for a year, and some days. Go us. He printed all the emails we sent early on in our relationship. Pretty sweet. No wonder I like him.

Other than that my life has been interesting these past few days. I've met [info]nattfisk who I have a crush on. And June. They were really nice and I loved hanging out with them. Too bad Karina is so young, I'd take her everywhere. To all the concerts and vegetarian arrangments. I met Henrique who's been in the army for a long time. It was so nice seeing him again. And I met Miriam, Ane and Helene today.

I have hardly slept for 5 days now. Tonight was the hardest night ever, though, or rather morning. Yesterday we (the hugest internet gang ever) went to Elektrostat. We saw some DJ, some guys, and Binärpilot and SMK! We moshed, we danced. It was more dancing to Binärpilot, and more jumping to SMK. I fell over so many times. My legs are blue. All blue. I digg. it was really nice seeing so many people as well. It's been a while ... or not really. Snakes on a plane.

I work too much.

I'm working for Nintendo next week. I'll earn 4000 kr, i'm buying shitloads.

I started listening to As Tall As Lions the other day, and boy am I falling in love with them! They have such a great sound, and the singer's voice is majestic. I'm looking forward to the end of school today so I can listen to it.

I'm also buying my Alexisonfire ticket today. There is a small chance Saosin will tag along. If they do I'll die and die all over. I need to get Alexisonfire's new album. I just got 9300 from work, so I might get it. But I'll probably just download it.

Such a random entry, I'm just bored really.


I want to cause a riot involving yoghurt and loud dyke music.

Today I decided to check my brain age once again on my DS. A week ago I got 26, followed by 28. I felt smart.



Today I got 20!

The last weeks have been great. Not only because school finally started and me and Tobias's one year aniversary's clock is ticking down, but because everything is starting to shape itself into what I hoped.

Andreas finally got a place to live, which I know bothered him quite a lot. Especially with his family being sour crackers, and Randi being Randi. The apartment is the greatest ever. I love it there. Spent quite some time there even, playing tetris and making dinner. Macaroni and tomato, fried banana with caramel. We've had parties of four on Tetris. Though I'm not that good, I managed to win some times. Andy is the tetris master. Pornography's house in a bag. Looking forward to the first episode of aTV season 2!

School is absolutly great. At this moment we're just going over camera stuff and some photoshop. The people in my class are ok. Some are slightly retarded, but the ones who aren't are ok. I even made a friend! The first task we got is Joy. Do whatever, just take a picture of joy. Crap, it's difficult. However, I have some ideas that might work. I made a gorgeous "thinking map". The idea most appealing is someone jumping in ponds. It could work. School starts early though, at 08:15 in the morning, so I have to get up at 06:00 -____-. It's ok.

Happy go lucky life. And Hq is having a good time up at Sæthermoen.

Not so good things: I got my period today, hurts like mother fucking hell. Luckily there were pills in the closet upstairs, and I am now preparing for work. Looking forward to the sweating.

Ok, so I'm thinking about getting a portable Mac instead of this piece of shit I'm dealing with at the moment. But, I'm not sure what to get. I could always go for an old iBook or something, I'd be pretty pleased with that. But the new MacBook looks really nice as well. It'll cost me 10.000 nkr, though, so I'm not sure what to do.

Here are my ideas so far:
I get the new but don't pay all at once, I pay some each month, or however that works.
I get the new one when I get my next paycheck and is left with 3000 nkr for a month directly after school started which can lead to trouble because I'll probably need a new lense and books.
I don't do anything and go to the US next summer with a lot of money.
I pay my dad back the 30.000 he's spending for my school (which will happen, I just don't want it to now :()

In other news, I started listening to This Day Forward today. I really like them. I haven't listened to this kind of music (hardcore meets indie meets emo (maigencholy)) for almost 6 months now, and I only realised now that I've missed it. I even listened to some The Number Twelve Looks Like You. Last time I listened to that was when I was single and in love with [info]spug. Anyway, what's cooler about This Day Forward is that I know the guy who used to be in the band (Mike Golen). Haha, I am too awesome ::)

I have nothing to do tonight, so I'll probably be online until forever is tomorrow. -______-

Ok, so I haven't updated in quite a while.

Bergen was really good. I had a great time with [info]dlogg, [info]kaldtblod and [info]spug. We visited Bergen attractions, which consist of Fløybanen, the Aquarium and the fishing market. We also walked the streets of Bergen like there was no tomorrow and drank lots of coke on glassbottles. Do they have gorker in english speaking countries as well?

I spent a couple of extra days in Bergen, after the others left. I also visited Hardanger (Lofthus). It was OK there, nothing out of the ordinary, just OK. Did enjoy the peace, though. I even went for a swim in the fjord. Fucking freezing, but worth it because there's hardly any salt in the water because of the water from the glaciers. Folgefonna is about to disappear, it made me sad, but not that sad. I got a new pair of jeans, as well. A great pair of jeans, that's all I say. Totally punk rock.

[info]spug went to California, as most know. He came back today, with 6 (!) CDs. Copeland: Beneath Medicine Tree, Know Nothing Stays the Same, In Motion and Live Recordings (House of Blues). Donnie Darko OST and Dredg - Leitmotif. I bough Dredg - Catch Without Arms in Bergen. You can also expect both me and [info]spug at the very last JR Ewing show. I'm both looking forward to it, and wish the day will never arrive.

I'm on my Mac. It might have a hardware error. Crap.

Vel, jeg skjønner nå at jeg bor på et såpass avsideliggenes sted at alle må, til enhver tid, ha med seg et hjemmelaget kart over hvor jeg bor.

Småinfo
Ta nesoddbåten som går fra Aker Brygge hver time klokka 32 minutter over hel.
Ta buss nummer 631, heter vanligvis Fagerstrand, men kan også hete Hallangen eller Torneveien. Den står i busslomme nummer 2 fra høyre.
Gå av på Skogheim, vi har fine nye busser som sier "Neste stopp er ... Skooogheiiim."
Følg kart.



Mitt nummer er, om dette ikke er nok: 99785553. Hjemmnummer er 66914652, og Tobias sitt nummer er 92429530.

Min adresse er:
Maiken Woll Eide
Reineveien 33
1454 FAGerstrand.

Og, nå, helt konkret hva som skjer på tirsdag. Dere kommer klokka halv sju, altså 17:32-båten fra Aker Brygge. Dere har med dere: drikke, grillmat, sovepose (om overnatting) og et stykk frokostelement (om overnatting). Nytt undertøy er også viktig, det blir sjekk. Alle må.

[info]leka_moya har med seg kake. Om andre har overraskelser de kan ta med, er det topp. Jeg stiller med salat til grillmat, moreller og rips med masse sukker. Det er godt. Fjerde bæret. Jeg stiller også med gave til [info]teh_king og til [info]vindauge og [info]logo_enigma, men kugosene kommer ikke. [info]_iddi og kjærest kommer, [info]lionhead og [info]boy_exploserous og mange venner av meg. Det blir koselig og bra.

Offentlig beklagelse til David:
Vi er for evig deg skyldig 10 klipp og en kveld på vår bekostning..
