Current Top 5 according to Spotify

According to my Spotify profile these are the top five artists I am listening to right now, and it looks about right. I’m just happy the more ”embarrassing” artists in my playlists never show up here, haha ^^

So I was thinking ”Why not share?”. Of course people have heard of Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode, but still. Perhaps some of you haven’t..?
In case those of you who are interested don’t have Spotify I’ll link you some good songs from Youtube, because then you don’t have any reasons NOT to go listen and perhaps find something new you might like :)

1. PendulumCrush
I’ve only listen to Pendulum for about two months, after asking my friend Jakob for some musical tips. He came up with Pendulum and the album Immersion, and here we are today – Pendulum is number 1 in the current top five.

2. Sisters of MercyMore
My first contact with Sisters of Mercy was when I was 16-17 and a member of a site called Blandband, were people exchanged mixed tapes and CD’s with each other. I had requested some nice goth music and got a CD with 3-4 Sisters’ songs on it (among other goodies, like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Inkubus Sukkubus). Been stuck ever since ^_^

3. HaggardPer Aspera Ad Astra
Haggard was a musical tip from my coworker and friend Mattias, whom told me about them when we were going to Iron Maiden last summer. It took me a while before I looked them up, but when I did I was hooked. Waitaminute, italian metal about Gallileo, with both growl AND clean female song?? Yeah. There’s nothing about this I don’t like :3 They also made a kick-ass italian version of the old swedish song Herr Mannelig (Garmarna has a version of it, check it out).

4. Rhapsody (in fire) – Emerald Sword
I started listening to Rhapsody when I was ~16, and I thought I was WAY cool. Then when I started dating my ex, P, he informed me that they weren’t as cool as I thought, haha. Still, I like them. Rhapsody (currently known as ”Rhapsody in Fire”) is the kind of music that makes me look for the nearest sword to grab so I can run into the woods to kill off some trolls and dragons. Very heroic music. I got their first 5 or 6 albums and I think this is the shit :D

5. Depeche ModeStripped
Well, everyone has head DM. They are played on the radio, for one! Just can’t get enough, Personal Jesus, It’s no good… Yeah, they are nice. But it was when I was watching a documentary about DM when I was about… um… 18-19? that I first heard Stripped, and I was stuck. I love this song, I love how it is put together and I love the lyrics. Love!

 

Was this a good post? Would you want me to do this more often with my Spotify Top 5? Comment or post vote! (thumbs up/down). Thanks ^_^

Bang bang

Sometimes I think about cutting bangs again. I like bangs. I look good in bangs. But, I have this little evil twirl on one side of my forhead that fucks it all up, so it is so much work to get the bangs to stay down and look OK. If I go outside and the wind comes at me the bangs is messed up as soon as look at it, which sucks. And still I can’t get the thought out of my head… I don’t think I’ll cut it though, because I really like being able to pull all the hair away from my face and put it in a pony tail without having it hanging in the way of my eyes, so there. It’s just me being stuck again.

Today I have passed the mirror a couple of times and thought the thought that I kind of look like a dark brown-haired Snow White. Not a bad thought, not at all. I like it :) It almost makes me want to go back to black, haha. But nah, I’ll keep it brown for now. Brown and without bangs, that’s the way it should be I think.

…or red. But that will be back soon enough :) I’ll enjoy being a brunette for a while now, and then I’ll go redhead again.

ANYWAY this is boring so yeah, whatever. What I really wanted to say is this: I am tired and going to bed now. Good night :3

Medium rare

We ate at O’Learys yesterday. Had a nice evening, even though we all of a sudden had to watch the swedish takeouts for Eurovision Song Contest. It was awful! I really don’t understand how and why people watch that ridicilous shit volontarily, because my ears and eyes hurt after watching it. People are free to like whatever they want, of course, but yikes. I wasn’t aware it was THAT bad. Had to go home and listen to some real music when we left, because that was just frightening. Meep.

Anywayyyyy. I am really satisfied with the way my hair turned out after dying the roots yesterday! It is a darker brown now, with some red nuances, which is nice. I dyed my eyebrows as well, and this time it didn’t make me look like a clown, woo! As you can see in the picture below I am not always lucky when dying the eyebrows:

I’ll see if I can put up any pictures of the current look. If not before then it will show up sometime during the week, with me taking almost daily snapshots of my current look and all. Like so.

Yes. Um. Got nothing else to add right now ^_^

Personality defined by hair

Quite often I really do miss my undercut. It made me look cool and as if I had something interesting to say. I think I look too normal nowadays, with this awkwardly half-long, brownish hair with really splitted ends. Meh. Yesterday I was holding up my hair to see if I should go get it cut a wee bit shorter, you know, so that it ends somewhere between my jaw line and my ears. But meh. I like that I am able to gather it all and put it on my head, so I won’t be cutting it anytime soon.

Allright, so as the edit says I actually bought that red dress yesterday. It is going to take 7-14 days before it arrives, and it is a little less than four weeks to my birthday, so I fully expect to be able to wear it at my party. I am all SQUEEE about it! The brand is Stop Staring!, and even though I only have two dresses (and a pair of pants) from them so far, it is clearly one of my favorite brands. They differ from swedish brands because they actually sew clothes for girls with real curves, the kind I have. I have boobs, I have a smaller waist and I have wide hips, but since most of the clothes here in Sweden are sewn for chicks that are equally wide over these three parts I can’t buy a tight dress that is supposed to hug all three areas, because it will be too big over the stomach/waist if I am to fit my boobage and hips in there. MEH! Buuuut Stop Staring! actually understands that there are thin chicks with boobs, hooray! :3 So I already know that unless I fucked up picking my size the dress will be a perfect fit ♥

Tomorrow my mom comes to visit! So we are going out to Väla on saturday for some serious shopping. Not sure if I will get anything though, I will prolly only buy if I find anything fun but I am not really looking to expand my wardrobe at the moment. But yeah, sure, perhaps some cute spring outfits? We’ve had sun and warmth the last couple of days, so spring is clearly on it’s way, yay! It kind of make my goth side cringe, but I really get happy from seeing the sun ^^ So yeah. A clearly ungothic ”squeee!” is in it’s place here, I think.

Time to get ready for the working day. Again the week seem to run away, run away. Wasn’t it Monday like …yesterday?

Also, btw: It is now 26 days until my birthday! (27/3) Prepare the countdown!

Too weird to be considered normal; Too normal to be considered weird

I just feel that it’s hard to find where I fit in. I am in between and none of the camps accept me because I don’t fit their standards. I just don’t know what to do about it either, because I cannot give up on what makes me normal and I cannot give up on what makes me weird. So I will stay in this no-man’s-land and hope that I will someday meet someone who’s like me. I would like that.

Tired today. I had problems falling asleep yesterday, of course. I think I fell asleep around 1AM, so yeah. Not really rested and chill today, lol. And tonight I’m going out for a beer or two, so this week will come off to a really rested start. OH WAIT.

Apart from that things are …well… pretty good, I guess? I am sad, but I feel pretty OK anyway. At least right now, but I guess that the winds can change at any given moment. I’ll do my best to keep my head high. I am getting really tired of these lows.

It’s a month until my 28th birthday today, but I still got to ride the bus as a youth on saturday. I just asked for a ticket and assumed he would charge me as a grown-up, but I only payed half price according to my brother who actually looked at the machine. Hrm. Do I really look that young? I understand that I get to ride on youth ticket if I ask for one, but this? It’s good, I guess. People still think my brother is the one who is six years older than me and not the other way around. lol.

Time to try to find something to wear. I realised that the jeans I usually wear are WAY too big right now. Chubby gone slim. Nothing to wear still. wuuut.

I know you don’t read

You may have told me you never read books. Lots of people never does. I can name four of you just like that, and I bet I know a lot more. Me, I grew up in books. I didn’t have friends in the same way everyone else did. I was a lonely child, and I was a lonely grown-up-to-be. I had friends, yes. But I think I found more solace in my books. Good old reliable books, with your soothing words and stiff binders.

And here I am. I am a book. I wear my feelings on my sleeve and I tell you everything you want to know about me. Perhaps I am a diary. There are a lot of things I keep secret. Trust me, I don’t ever share secrets. I keep them to myself, deep down in my heart where no-one will find them. And now I have to keep myself secret, in a way. I want to open the book and let everything pour out. I want you to take all my words and put them in context, and I want you to understand. But I am keeping them secret. It’s a revised book you get when you see me. The extended version is limited, and it’s only for loan if you show me that you can handle the truth.

I wish I could tell you more about the real me. I wish you wanted to know more about the real me. But I switched covers of my book when no one was looking and now you’re getting a story but perhaps not the real one..?

One day I’ll give you the real book. The one about me. With all pages solid and nothing ripped out. I don’t like ripping out pages, and I don’t like revised versions where things are changed or edited out. The real me. You think you can handle that?

Zombies crawl; they are not known for awesome running skills

Old picture, I know, but I don’t have any good recent ones so let’s just pretend I am a redhead again and all will be peachy keen.

And then the wednesday came to an end. This week is practically running away from me! Feels a bit weird to have time flying by this fast again, me spending 2,5 weeks in bed took forever and now it’s been forever and a day. I just want to grab time and sit down for a while and have a nice little chat, instead of having to run like the red queen to catch up with things. Meh.

Was over at Mia’s and Robin’s today for a cup of tea and because Mia had bought me a really sweet gift! It’s an awesome bracelet that is a spider in a web. Looooots of bling on that, I’ll try to put up a picture of it tomorrow :) Thank you Mia, you are really sweet ♥

Will probably be going to a party on saturday, unless my lungs start acting up again. I think it would be nice to get out and meet people a little :) It’s a party at Micke’s and Andreas’ with a 1920’s theme! So I will need to go buy an outfit, but that will be taken care of on friday is the plan ^_^

Ohwell. Going to bed early today, been sleeping really lousy this week so I need to try to get my sleeping hours back to normal again. Nighty night :3
