Sonehow...this year I'm not really in the mood for Christmas. I'm much too busy and - on top of it - I have a show on the 24th. Luckily I can stay at home...it will be broadcasted from the computer...I have already delivered it. But still...I can't really relax until the show has been broadcasted as scheduled.

Today I went shopping with my mom. The mall was decorated and it even smelled like Christmas, with decorated trees and baked stuff...

...and I made my mom take a picture of me, since I had dressed up...just because I wanted to.

So...here's the photo:



I'm so proud of myself that I finally dare to go out in dresses and skirts that go up to the knee! And I feel comfortable with it!

I will post more pictures soon. Now, during the holidays, I will finally have time to take proper outfit-pictures. ^^

So...with the live two days ago I finally manage to type up my review of that day.

My next show will be on August 5th. I will do a short review of the show then too. For informations on my show pleae visit the show's MySpace

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.

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.

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.
