In 4 days the Hove festival is starting! Me and 3 friends are driving down tomorrow morning to be in Oslo and party one night before we drive further down south to Arendal and to the location where the festival area is located. I'm so stoked i won't be able to sleep tonight, but oh well, 6/7 hours drive down to Oslo so I'll get to sleep then. (Good arguement for not starting on my lisence yet!)
Hove will be sick, with a lot of great bands playing i've even had to ditch some to get to see everything i want to see.
Pendulum Alexisonfire Muse
Kvelertak Brodinski Vampire Weekend
As I Lay Dying Massive Attack Biffy Clyro
Atreyu Dizzee Rascal Empire of the sun
Paramore Julian Casablancas Jack Beats
Oh yes, it will be awesome. SUN, BEER, MUSIC, GOOD FRIENDS AND SUN
This morning i got the extremely horrible message that a friend of mine had been killed in a car-accident 5AM last night. It came as a shock and my feelings are very much mixed. These kinds of things shouldnt happen and it's horrible that they do anyway. To only live to be 18 years old is a tragedy, everyone deserves to live a long and happy life.
All we can do in these situations is just to stick together and keep a hold of the good memories.
At last! It is easter and we have a week off school. To celebrate that I went to the city and bought myself a gift, a new summer suit ! Oh my god I love it ! I also bought myself a shirt to go with the suit. A blue shirt with a white collar and wrists. It looks truly epic. The suit is hiding at the tailor now to get it sown in properly to my extremely skinny body. I'm stoked to see the result !
Norwegian Design rocks !
On wedensday I'm going to The Gathering (A LAN in Norway) I'm super stoked about it, get to meet Marie and a couple of friends flying in from the UK.
I'd say on behalf of me that UKM this year was a huge success. I don't know if we got through yet, but i doubt it considering there were so many amazing acts! Since I'm not playing in a band with any of the people I played with at UKM we took it as an opportunity have some fun and play with a good sound coming out of our instruments.
What made it even more fun was a cameraman from a Norwegian televison channel walking up to me with a huge camera while I was playing. Ofcourse as the entertainer I am I had even more fun with a camera in my face.
We saw that we might have been the least sereous band there, because when we were waiting for our turn to play we were the only ones not practicing on our song or doing whatever concerning the contest. We however had fun! We made the "UKM Olympics 2010" The contests was:
* Guitar pick throwing - Winner: Me !
* Credit card throwing - Winner: Me !
* Coin tossing - closest to the bottle I put out wins - Winner: Our pianist - Håvard !
I'll see if I can find a video of our preformance somewhere!
Last night we finally managed to get Sindragosa down. She should have been killed two weeks ago, but with severe attendance issues the kill was delayed for a few weeks. But finally last night, even with 23 people in the raid we got her down.
Killpicy0 !

Today i found this website. It's a blog containing both big and small photoshop fails. Some of them are hilarious, and with some of them i just cant see what's wrong with them.
This is basically how school works in Norway... Or is it?
Anyway when our teacher came in to the classroom she just laughed and shut the window so they didnt get inside for some time, and it was hilarious. We've already made plans for our next stunt to see how long we can go for our teacher to snap. We might be a childish gang, but we love it!
White classroom much?
(Me in the colourful sweater and the laptop filled to eternity with stickers)
We're a close gang, since most of us have been in the same class for ~6 years we're starting to know eachother pretty well. And every day of school differs from the next.
Last night I got to know what the new band attending the Hove festival is going to be. And It's PENDULUM ! My life will actually be fullfilled after that festival. Pendulum, Atreyu, Brodinski, Alexisonfire, Florence + The Machine and so much more good stuff !
I'm so stoked right now that I'm litteraly jumping up and down while sitting on my chair in the classroom.
