So on Friday the time had come for me to leave for Berlin. The night I hadn't had much sleep, I had done some last minute changes to my outfit and I was much too excited to sleep. And I knew I still had an three-hour busride ahead of me.

( read on here )

The trip was awesome and worth the strain. It will stay as a cherished memory in my heart. And I won't quit travelling around to concerts, it's part of my life and what I enjoy. No matter what my mother tells me...she doesn't understand. This is not just a phase...and it will be part of my future. It goes more than well with my plans of becoming a music-journalist.

Okay...tomorrow I'll be off...once again.

This time it's London. Yeah, LONDON BABY!!! *giggles*

I still haven't packed everything and I'll have to go to my mom's office tomorrow to print out some last minute stuff. My own printer has run out of ink (once again), I'm glad I can bother her with it.

I'm excited. I will see Dir en grey in concert and I will be in London again. It's been a while...my last (and first) visit there was for my birthday in 1999. And I will meet ironic_sun there.

I will stay in London till friday, then I'll fly back to Germany. My dear Saku's parents will pick us up and drive us to Wacken...as we'll be attending the W:O:A festival...as press that is. I hope I have all the papers we'll need, but I'm quite sure. I'll spend quite alot of time in the presstent, I hope to be able to do a few interviews.

Okay...tomorrow I'll buy better batteries for my camera, so I can REALLY take tons of pics this time. ^^

*waves*

Okay...today's the day. In a few hours I'll be off to Hamburg and then it's less than 12 hours until our flight leaves for Helsinki.

I'm excited as hell...even if I don't get to talk to the guys directly (although I hope I'll get a chance). But I'm ecstatic to see them play live...I'm curious which songs they're gonna play. I bet they'll have a different set at Tuska then at the live in Stockholm.

Oh...who's them? For those who didn't answer that question by themselves...I'm talking about D'espairs Ray here. *laughs* Sometimes I fear I'm getting on the nerves of people with my constat babbling about those guys.

Anyway...as I said, in a few hours time I'll be off to Hamburg. And then I won't be able to come online unless I spot an internet-café somewhere. Which I will surely do some time during the trip, as I can't be without my darlings for too long. *hugs the GH-users* *hugs the gals from Soompi*

And there has been another change of plan. As my little soulsister said she needs more time to learn for her finals, we'll be flying home from Stockholm on thursday already instead of returning to Helsinki and going to Turku from there (and staying till sunday). I'm fine with that as my budget is rather small.

Wow...my stomach is starting to do flipflops here...*nervous grin*

My suitcase is packed and a little overweight for the flight back, but I think I'll manage. I hope I got everything...*sighs* I always think I'll forget something essential.

*huffs*

'Kay...baibai until I'm back with tons of pics.

*waves*

Thanks to accursed_desire, a dear friend from Soompi, my LJ finally has a more than decent layout. She did a great job! *huggles her*

Apart from that there are no news from me at the moment. I'm still in the middle of getting my show burned to CDs...and I have to put those copies in the mail as I promised. In less than a month I'll be off to finland...there's still alot of work that needs to be done before that. Still I can't wait to finally get there.

Okay...here's the second part of my concert-/Interview-trip.

( Part two )

Okay...as requested, here's the first part of the concert-report on the coupling-tour of Balzac and MUCC.

( Part one )

It's really strange what kind of thoughts run through my head when I sit at my comp at night.

( thoughts )

Okay...this is gonna be my first concert review here on LJ. And the thought that I'm gonna have to type it in german as well somehow annoys me...but as I want to post it to my german blog as well...*shrugs*

Okay...let me sort my thoughts.

( read on here )

So now I have a few days to rest, before hell breaks loose again when I get ready for the MUCC-concerts in Hamburg and Berlin. And hopefully the next interview.

Okay...since some people on soompi confused my avatar (Chachamaru of GacktJOB) with me...I came to ask myself...do Cha and I really look alike THAT much?

Okay...we have our similarities...especially the fact that we have the same hairdo at the same times...but in my opinion Cha is a beauty...unlike me. But oh well...judge for yourself.

( take a look )

Wow...I haven't been posting here in AGES! *sweatdrop*

Yes, I'm still alive...still having lots of stress...but it's getting better, and I have a really awesome time ahead of me. On wednesday I'll grab my bags and head to Hamburg to visit my dear friend mana_sakura and visit a japanese class at the university with her. On thursday is my big day...I'll head to the Markthalle (a local concert hall) and wait there until it's time for me to go inside and do an interview with D'espairs Ray. *does a happy dance*

I've been looking forward to this since I heard that Despa would be coming on tour in Germany.

Well, after the concert on thursday evening we'll head back to her place to rest, because on friday morning at 9:30 our train leaves for Kopenhagen. So we'll have an entire day to look at the city and do some shopping before Despa will ariive there on saturday. Yes, we bought concert tickets for the Kopenhagen-concert as well...because it's the evening before my 30th birthday (god...I'm old... ;) ) and I had this weird idea of partying into my birthday with Despa.

Not that it's really gonna happen...but a girl can dream, ne? And dream I do...of them singing "Happy Birthday" for me and stuff...would be nice but I don't think it will become reality. I highly doubt it.

On sunday some time in the afternoon (after we got some beauty sleep *g*) we'll return to Hamburg and I'll stay there for another night, because I don't think I'll feel like going straight home simply because it's my birthday. My mother already told me she's gonna give me a call as soon as we're back on german ground (calling me in Denmark would cost us both too much...stupid phone-companies!) to congratulate me.

Honestly...I don't feel like almost 30. I'm stuck somewhere at the age of 24 in my head...and I don't think that's going to change soon. I'm comfortable with my behaviour...even if it's not fitting for a person of my age. But honestly...how SHOULD I behave? All grown up and serious? No thank you! That's not me.

I still have a lot of stuff to do until then...and since it's two in the morning now, I should see that I get some sleep...

Oh...I almost forgot. Since this entry is mostly about D'espairsRay and I was asked to upload one of their albums I think this is the right place to post up the link. And maybe someone on my flist is interested in checking Despa out (if they haven't listened to their music before).
