Christmas

So this christmas was somewhat a historic one for me. That is if I choose to use a big word about what many would see as a small thing, but I like christmas eve so lets leave it at that, historic. For the first time did my family spend time with my fathers sister and her family. It has for as long as I can remember always been a tradition that we spend christmas day with them, where we also dance around the christmas tree and get presents. However due to how things have changed we decided to do it like this, this year.

For dinner we had both roast pork, duck and goose. So as you might guess, there were plenty, and it was good. Though I missed my grandmothers meatballs. The rest of the evening was pretty much like every other christmas eve, after dinner dancing around the tree and getting presents. We were nine people, which equals a lot of present, and we were done with those around midnight, then random talking for some time. I think we were home around 2.

Christmas day we made a small visit at my grandparents for afternoon coffee, and some christmas lunch just the five of us at home for dinner in the evening. At nine I met with some of my friends from school for some partying, most of which I haven't seen the last six months. That was really nice except for the fact that I didn't drink, as I had to be at the civil defence next morning at 7:35 and drove up there during the night just after the party.

First day at the civil defence was spent catching up on some sleep and watching Harry Potter 3, 4 and 5. Next day we had to do a little work. I washed a firetruck and helped carrying some tubes. Rest of the day was spent on some random TV, inet and such.

Not much left to say about my christmas but the ultimate question: What did I get for christmas?

Avril La -FUCKING- vigne

Okay the last post was pretty angry, so I would just like that say that being in the civil defence is not all that bad, I've actually come to like it pretty well. Lovable co-conscripts, fun drills ect. Though no real fires ect. ever happens. One day left and I have christmas holiday, that's awesome anyway though :) and I'll be done on 30th January.

Lately I've been thinking about what I wanna do when I finish, and I've come up with a plan for the next half year more of less. No actual plan, but like mainly what I'd like to do, and then we'll see if it will happen.

Some evening when I was watching a few music videos I got the idea that I could travel around a bit to some concerts. Practically none of the artist that I listen to have I ever seen live, so now would be the time to do it. So I plan to get an interrail ticket (train ticket with which you can travel around as much you want in europe for x days) and then find some concerts. So far I've found a handfull or so artist that are touring in europe in the spring that I'd like to see, and just earlier today I started laying out a more detailed plan of which I'm going to when and where.

Those I have in mind are:

  • Nightwish
  • Natasha Bedingfield
  • Sophie Ellis Bextor
  • Alicia Keys
  • Kelly Clarkson
  • Sugababes
  • Nelly Furtado
  • Stacie Orrico

These are all touring in europe around February - March - April. So the plan might to do some of these in the spring and then see if any interesting are touring in the summer and take another trip then.

Somewhere in the middle of this planning I got an email from the Avril Lavigne fanclub saying that she would extend her american tour to also include europe, somewhere around June. Her being propably between my 3 favourite artist that was something I could not miss, so as the ticketsale started at 10.00 I went to the computer room in the lunch break and bought a ticket for the copenhagen concert, on June 26. Then time must tell if that'll be the only concert in the summer of if I find some others aswell.
