Konzertjunkie

Yep. Another of those days where you just hate each and everybody, the world sucks, idiots whereever you look (and no, I'm not talking about the flamer here, that's probably the only funny thing today - or wait, no, I also had to laugh when I introduced our new collegue to the other team today and suddenly everybody stared at my belly and asked "ADDITIONAL OR SUBSTITUTE???" *rofl* Additional, of course. ).

But well, there's just way too much work to do, job-wise, fanclub-wise, and privately. And it sucks that you need to hunt down all the information that you need by yourself, that whatever you do is wrong anyway afterwards, and that somehow, it doesn't feel like it's worth it.

Oh, and by the way: Listening to Under Månen after midnight is a bad thing to do. It just gives you instant depression... *sigh*

Anyway. Just a rant here. Tomorrow's another day... alt skal bli bra igjen...

Yep, so I promised to write about my last trip to Norway, right?
Hmm... maybe I shouldn't have done that, because - it was just amazing, no question about it, but somehow I'm not really inspired to write about it.

So this will be rather short here - the trip was great, the concerts were amazing, and it was so wonderful to travel to Norway and meet everybody again. Just walk into a concert place in some town in Norway and meet people you know. So great!

But the best part was actually travelling around with great friends. I mean - I am really not an easy person to travel with. Definitely not. I got my own clear plan on how things should go, sometimes I'm just not in the mood, and most of all, I want to enjoy myself. Stress on "MYself", not like "we should enjoy ourselves"... I know this is bad, but this is the way I am, and this is why I often travel alone.
But this time, it was just different. We were travelling together, we were having a great time together, and we just agreed on what to do without even really having to talk about it. So cool! It was just great to be on the road together, and I hope we can repeat it very very soon!

So, what were the nicest things? For Bergen... hmm. Seeing Lena getting so amazed by flowers - well, it's understandable if you normally don't have spring. Then the hotel right on top of the concert place. The fact that it doesn't only happen to fans that they walk up to their stars without having anything to talk about - which leads to rather awkward conversations, uhem. But yep, it can happen the other way around as well. And then finally a concert that I enjoyed a whole lot even though I didn't really see anything.

Next - Stavanger. Such great hospitality, that was amazing. Seeing a bit more of Stavanger than I had known before. And then this "concert place" - living room would be even more suitable, I think. And lots of nice people all around.

Oslo: The weather. It was SO amazing! Real spring in Norway - and it was so nice to just sit outside, talk, laugh, and have a great time. And then I finally managed to buy my CDs - at a signing session, but without the slightest urge to go and talk to them, guess I'm finally getting away from the fan-girl-thingy. That night, we had the perfect spot during the concert, the concert was different from the others but also very nice in the end, and the night afterwards was also a lot of fun. Even though I got a bit annoyed about some people who just think they are the center of the world, and what does it help that you don't need to worry about anybody stealing your wallet in Norway when instead, they steal your wine? But then, walking home in the middle of the night, singing Under månen, made up for it again.

Then the last stop: Trondheim. Rain, empty stomaches, weird hotel receptionists - but by far the best concert of the tour! And again, lots of people around that I hadn't seen for a while. And the possibility to pass a short "thank you" to the guys, without the feeling "I really need to talk to them now!!!1". Oh, and a VERY nice Helge, as always. I could have done without seeing them at the airport the other morning, though. But then, it could have been worse there.

So, all in all, it was an amazing trip. I was really in doubt before whether I wanted to go and see all concerts - but it was the right decision. Like that, I don't have the feeling that I "missed" anything, and with the great company I had, it was so much fun that I wouldn't want to have missed anything either. Thanks for the great trip!

Yep, I was on TV. Local TV only, fortunately - but I'm quite satisfied with the result. So enjoy!

Edit: Or wait, I can actually embed the video here. Much easier...

Long time no post... no clue why. Guess there was just nothing to write about... or no time if I had an idea.

And actually, I don't really have anything to write about right now either. The weather is perfect, spring is here, I should be happy. I'm not. No clue why.

Just had a long weekend, lots of time to relax - just that I can't really relax when there's cigarette smoke all around and some people talking bullshit all the time. And all the small things I always hated and that are all still exactly the same - just that I notice them more and more by now, because I don't have them around all the time.

No concerts lately - maybe that's a reason as well. And I can't really decide either which concerts I want to see in summer.

Then there's all the stuff I'm doing besides work - and nobody appreciating it, everybody is just picking on us all the time. Thanks a lot, that really cheers you up and makes you want to continue!

Anyway. The cool thing is that I am currently re-reading the Kaizers book, which is just great fun. And this time, I understand so much more than last time...
