Me and Ida after she arrived at our hostel in Kensal Green the second morning of the Offsetfestival.
People say we look like we're related. I wish! She's so cool and cute and lovely.
Ida and Isabelle waiting for the bus to the festival in Hainhault.
Veggiefood at the festival. And Jessica or Isabelle's nachos.
We got this flyer and realized that the swedish technoband Slagsmålsklubben were playing in LDN the day we were going to leave London. Would have been loads of fun seeing them and Robots in Disguise otherwise. I think Ida ended up going to that gig anyhow, cause she missed her flight home due to horrible traffic.
Then we saw Eve Black Eve White play. They were pretty cool. They did a cover of "Fever" but mostly we just watched them to pass time.
Then The Junkettes were going to DJ and a guy with a cool necklace was onstage. I want that necklace badly, yes.
The Junkettes were cuuute.
Then Jessica posed next to two sleepin dudes. You can see one guys underwear, they are yellow. xD
Then we watched Hatcham Social, which made me happy, even if they didn't play "Snap My Hands". (one of my favourite songs)
Toby, I met him later that day. He's shy and cute. Ida told him that he'd benifit from knowing me and he answered that he'd bet he would^^ Cute boy.
At least they played "So So Happy Making" that both me and Emma had on our minds the later days in LDN. <3
Then we watched O Children. They were cool and awsome.
Then Isabelle and I went and saw Plastic Passion and noticed that none less that Paul, Brandon, Keith and John were standing near us in the crowd. Which made me all weak in the knees and stuff. Guh. I should mention that dear Paul Linger has stolen this pic and put it up on his Facebook. The little bastard. He looks fierce<3
Plastic Passion. Got a free demo. Which broke on the flight home but Mike sent me songs^^ I just dunno who of them in the band that is Mike, but he said that he'd get me a gig if I go to London again. So I will get to see them live again. Cute.
These boys are so cute. Have now added both the other guys on Facebook aswell. I dunno who they are really but whatever.
I met John before or after this. He was so cute trying to drum like the drummer in PP. Paul did the same thing.
This was the second time I saw PP live. I love their song "We Have Come So Far".
The Ruling Class.
Apparently two guys in this band are from Sweden. Fun.
I think the singer looks a bit like Noel Fielding.
Dear Paul was smiling and waving from the side of the stage to us during the gig. Then we noticed Joshua and Tom from The Horrors standing in the crowd and I went up and talked a little to Joshua. Joshua told me that he liked The Ruling Class. He's so cute!!!
Afterwards we saw Steve from Blood Red Shoes.
And Ida, Isabell and I bumped into Laura-Mary from Blood Red Shoes who told Ida that she was my friend from the Hultsfredsfestival. God knows how much I love Laura-Mary. Dad thinks that she looks just like me <3
We were all high on meeting celebs and Ida's alcoholcravings were going further^^ Snakebite is a fucking yummy drink, man!
Me after meeting Laura-Mary. I was all happy and drinkin Smirnoff. Yummy^^
Then we spotted Hatcham Social's drummer in the crowd by us at the next gig.
Josh's lil-bro had gotten backstage. God, he was so hot and so gay and so flirting with me <3
Srsly. This boy was insanely alike Josh <3 This is about when I met Brandon from Neils. He was so nice and funny <3
ELECTRICITY IN OUR HOMES. Great gig. I love that Paul was our mate by now^^
Spotted. On the side of the stage; Harry, Mikyla, Tom flirting with Joe's sister.
Then Joe arrived aswell. Lookin all sleek. Harry however looked like shit.
Then we saw The Violets. Another really cool gig! The singer's pretty hot.
Then Jessica spotted an ex Test Icicle-member and we took a pic of her with him in the background. Guh, why did Test Icicles split up??
Then She Set DJ'd. Mikyla smiled and waved at me.
Mikyla and Joe.
The INSANE thing is that they started playing a song by the SWEDISH BAND The Knife. And it's one of my favourites of theirs. Called "Pass This On".
Joe's sis (Issie, innit?) danced and looked hot.
Then Neils Children played <3
I honestly didn't recognize Keith until he was onstage. WHY OH WHY DID HE CHANGE HIS HAIR???? DAMMIT!
She Set and Joe lookin hawt backstage.
These girls were so boring. They're called SKIPtheatre.
John looking kinda frightening.
I really do love Brandon. He looks like Tim Burton <3
Too bad they didn't play any of my old favourite songs of theirs, but apparently they "don't play them anymore" =( Boohoo.
I ran and saw about 2 or 3 songs with Blood Red Shoes. Saw Laura-Mary's bigsister on the bus home.
Pigeon Steve shouldn't have dyed his hair dammit. But they were awsome. When Steve talked about dedicating their song "Try Harder" to scene kids at the festival he accidentally dissed Laura-Mary (which was really funny, but I can't get myself to write it all down here now) and then he went "Thanks you guys for seeing us, we're Blood Red Shoes and this is our last gig, ever". Which was a joke, ofc. But considering the diss before and stuff it was all really funny and cute.
Laura lookin hawt <3 I want her dress so much.
I think that I saw them play "Try Harder" and "This Is Not For You". I'm pretty sure those are the songs I saw....
Cool pic of Laura-Mary.
God knows how much I love these two people <3
Then I ran back and saw the last Neils Children-songs. And admired Brandon's beauty from the distance.
Then I ran off and saw the first two songs with The Maccabees (which I'm pretty sure were "Lego" and "X-ray".
Maccabees were AWSOME live. It was so cool too cause when they sing in "Lego" 'And daddy loves the church, hallelujah' most of the crowd streched their hands up in the air and everyone were singing along <3
This is also were I got a new friend, named Jasmine, and this girl gave me a joint. Weed man, is awsome.
Then I ran off and saw IPSO FACTO with the twins and Isabell. And we met Rosie Cunningham earlier that day, I think it was ^^
I spotted Joe and Tom from The Horrors on the side of the stage and when I noticed Joe, he smiled at me and I waved at him cutely (I can't explain how but it looks a bit silly and cute) and he smiled wider and waved back. It was right after I took this pic it happend <3
IPSO FACTO are so great! Victoria (their drummer) was all flirting with us (especially me) from stage, strange. But she's kinda hot so yay^^
Then we saw THE GHOST FREQUENCY.
Another awsome live-band. But however Frida was really pissed and threw herself in the moshpit and then accidentally got kicked in the head by the singer. God. He apologized several times to her, at least.
They played NEVER BEFORE and NIGHTMARE. So that made me all happy.
Next day in London. Isabell and I went to Brick Lane and visited Conor Oberst at Rough Trade.
A guy had this cool laptop he's written with black tape on. "FUCK APPLE". xD Elliott Smith is above him <3
Emma's bus got delayed due to traffic but then finally she arrived at the café opposite to Rough Trade and met us =D And we saw Yannis (the singer of Foals) brother. Insane. He sat next to us at the café for a bit.
Since Emma's a girl, she shoved us around Brick Lane and we went to each cool secondhandshop but found nothing. Our feet were sooo dead after this. Oh, and we found a cat on a shelf along with scarves in one of the 2ndhandshops <3
then we rested our feet in some park were people had dedicated benches to people and talked to two drunkos.
Then we boozed in a creepy alley and got kinda pissed, then Emma had to go home and Isabell and I got lost around Trafalgar Square and I went shopping at Virgin Records and HMV and bought dvd's and cd's and then we found out that Ida was trapped in the country somewhere and was spending the night at her mate there.
Next day. Me and Isabell finally found Underground maps. Kinda late, but still, they were helpful^^
Then we read Metro and found out Pete had almost died the previous day and figured he wasn't playing the gig that night at Rythm Factory. We ended up missing the gig that was two hours delayed. Too bad. And apparently Peaches had been "disturbed" by watching dwarfs having sex XD hilarious.
We smoked and talked about men being bastards and squirrels on crack.. One coked up squirrel came over and sniffed on my shoe.
We saw creepy-ass birds.
And laughed at them and the tourists.
We went shopping aswell and then to Starbucks. I love this sign <3
Then we went to Saint James's park and waited for Ida to arrive. I took a photo off Emma's ass and she wrote "Why Not?" on my converse. And she was all teasing me about lying down and how she was going to lie down on top of me. Gosh. I think Isabell got a bit annoyed with us, really, but I don't care.
Isabell, nap-ing in the sun.
Me with my new headband. One of them at least. I looked like a native american. Or a troll.
After Ida arrived we went to Boots and bought BOOZE. And then we went off to Hyde Park (or Hideous Park, according to Emma) and started drinking in the shadows under some trees next to a gang playing football in the sun. Fun. Oh, and the girl whom Ida bought the vodka off figured Ida wanted the big bottle. Hilarious. Does she look like a drunko to you?
2 litres of vodka, four girls, one not too up on drinkin until I forced it halfly into her. Fun.
Emsy-babes
Ida drinkin. I love this girl.
How pretty isn't Emma? No wonder she got a job as a model. I feel so lucky I have this girl. Need Job and Money to Get To Her.
Emma and me looking all cutesy.
Isabell took loads of pics of me and Emma with my camera which made us lol in our high of drunkennesss. But I was way more drunk than Emma, unfortunantly.
Giggle-attack
Emma ran over to the camera. She's written "Bins are for Bombs" on her left hand.
Ida lookin pretty and drunkish.
Isabell got really drunk. She tried to hold my hand and fell into a wall later that night in Camden.
Emz. <3
Then we talked british english for about an hour and tried to sound as street as Mike Skinner. Me and Emma were the best at it. Ida told us about meeting Mike Skinner and rapping with him. Haha <3 The Irony Of It All, that's all I'm gonna say.
Then we ran off looking for toilets before Emma had to take a bus home. It didn't go very well, finding toilets, but anyways. I can say that Ida got stuck in a fence and fell. It was dark outside. Then I kissed Emma goodbye and she took her bus home and the rest of us took the underground off to Camden town. :D
Feel the soberness
Ida lookin happy on the underground
We went to Ida's favourite pub in Camden "World's End"...
And drank ourselves silly^^
Whilst speaking a mix of english and swedish.
Hilarious. We were trying to sound all street.
We drank guinness and I came to the conclusion that I really like GUINNESS. Amazing. And corona.
Then we met some guys from Birmingham who bought us drinks and we hung out with them for a while.
Here's Mark (I think), Ida and Peter.
I cannot remember this guy's name but he looked very much like Tom Hanks and his best pick-up-line was "Hi, I'm Forrest Gump". Apparently it worked very well for him xD
Then we met some druggies outside who tried to sell us charlie, but since we didn't buy any they tried to steal Ida's phone. Then we left them (with the phone) and went to Elephant's Head (another pub, at which Ida the next night saw Faris Rotter hanging with a blonde copy of Peaches) and Peter came with us.
Peter said I talked way street and that Ida sounded POSH when she spoke british. Hahaaaa<3
At the Elephant's Head we randomly met this finnish guy named Jyrki. He flirted with me a lot and took us to this really illegal pub that was behind a kebab-shop. Hilarious, that's where we spent the rest of the night. by this time I was too drunk and had to drink water to try to sober up. Also I almost lost my voice completely.
I went out and smoked with Peter and talked to him a lot. A really great guy. Then he started flirting with me and told me I was the prettiest girl amongst us and that I was really beautiful (and apparently he's shy so that was a big deal of him to tell me that) and that we should go out. Then I dropped the girlfriend-bomb. And apparently he was dating some chick aswell, but he made me promise to go out with him when I go back to London (don't have his number or anything now though, so whatevs). Also some druggie-dude walked by us outside the illegal pub and stopped by us to ask me and Peter if we were dating cause apparently we looked like a couple. Sweet. Then I just ranted a lot about Emma to get him to stop flirting with me. And he also said I was bad at taking a compliment and that my street-accent got better the more slurry my voice got (due to drunkeness)-
Ida found a hot whore-y boy at the illegalpub and she went off with him and Isabell and I took the bus home by 3 -4 AM. Then we woke up and found that James was sleeping in one of the bunks in our 8-BED-GIRLS ONLY room. LOL. The other girls fled the room that morning. xD Hilarious. He was cute though. James Reggan.
With James nap-ing like a baby in that bed and Ida afraid to wake him up and say hi to him that morning we fled our hotelroom and went to Camden where we met Emma. I really hope one of the Taiwanese girls woke him up and threw him out of that room xD
We went to Starbucks with Emma and talked about the previous night. Then some guy told us we could get free haircuts at this really posh nice hairsalon so we were going to get those but had to cancel them due to me, Ida and Isabell having to catch trains to the airport. Sucky as fuck.
We went to a park and Ida went off to another park in the area to try to find her jacket with her phone and camera, and then I didn't see her again in London cause she didn't come back and we had to move. Psychobirds.
We walked in Camden looking for Ida and then we took the bus to Liverpool Street (sat at the back of the bus, me and Emma making out, was all nice until we saw the securitycamera filming us) but had to switch to the underground due to horrible traffic, so Emma and I had this emotional goodbye and she started crying and it was all horrible to leave her. I think Isabell has figured out that Emma and I are dating now. I dunno though, she didn't say anything about it on the flight. Just mentioned that it was funny that some guy asked us if we were lesbians cause Emma and I was holding hands the other day and Emma answering "Sort off". The guy got all happy cause "SWEDISH LESBIANS OMG!" and wanted to buy us drinks in the middle of the day xD We said no thanks.
Then our flight home got struck by lightning twice before landing. That was well creepy. I started hyperventilating a bit. =(
Oh, and Paul Linger (drummer from Electricity In Our Homes) stole my pic of him on Facebook and it's now his Profile-Picture. So I'm getting *~FAMOUS~*. Hahaha. Look:
