Almost a week ago I saw The Notebook. A movie that really touched me. I think it was watching the main charactors as old also, that did it. Watching it I just couldn't hold my tears, can't remember last time I ever cried like that. I think I will never forget that feeling this movie gave me.
Had expected Denmark to do quite much better this year than they did. We were auto qualified to the final after the 10th place last year, with a song that in my opinion sucked. But appearently "Twist of Love" didn't stand out enough. I thing that I believe to be very important in this competion. I mean, song can be ranked second or third in someone's opinion, but they only give one vote, so eventhough some song is belived to be second, third, fourth ect. best it won't get any votes. I also believe this to be the reason that the four big countries (Germany, England, Spain, France is it?) rarely do that well. They make quality songs, but just not the best.However one song did stand out this year so to speak. I saw the music video on youtube a single time before the semi final. Didn't realized then how good it was. But immediately after watching it at the semi final I got a nice feeling about it. I choose to gamble a little money on them, 6.66€ on Finland as winners and 4€ on Ukraine in top3. When Finland won it gave me about 85€. Quite a nice amount of money. :p~ Have gambled once before on the ESC, in 2001 on Sweden. They became fifth.Beside Hard Rock Hallelujah there were some other very nice songs this year. Ukraine's 'Show me Your Love', Greece's 'Everything', Germany's 'No No Never', England's 'Teenage Life', Denmark's 'Twist of Love' and Iceland's 'Congratiolations' which unfortunately didn't go the the final. They have been a big part of the daily playlist since. As you also can see from my last.fm profile.
I've really wanted to use last.fm for a long time, but haven't been able to becuase they can't make a plugin for musicmatch jukebox :(. However after all FVANG guys registered there I decided to try foobar 2000 to be able to use last.fmSo I installed it and got started on last.fm. Seems like an ok player but a little simple. Not sure if I can live without my beloved musicmatch. But we'll see. I added a top artists of the week chart to the blog.
Friday after school I hurried home to pack the car so I could drive as fast as possible. I left at 14:00. I drove wrong like 3 times when I drove down to Zerox' place, my krak map didn't help that much. I think I drove wrong after Holstebro or something. But I got there. Hadn't seen his new house and room, so was nice to get a look. He could direct me to enil's place. After picking enil up we drove to Aabenraa without big problems, with the help of my krak map and the cities enil had written down we had to drive through. We were at the place at 18:00 I think. On the highroad we heard Evenescence - Anywhere but home Live. It was a little caotic in the start caus of many things. People was late, thanatos stranded in northern Denmark, and computers not working. A few new people there to meet, including my LaMe team mate insane guy. Had never thought I would meet anyone from my team, so that was really nice. Was nice to start battling and have something to eat. Me, eppeJ, enil, Zerox and Napol eat at the pizza place next to both evenings. The other too, but took their pizza with them back to the meeting. First night Luther joined us aswell. Is nice to do a few things together where computers are not included :). Later at night it was time for the flagtag battle. In first round I met team mate insane guy. I won with a fairly big gap. This was first time two LaMe members have ever played multi together. Next round I met enil, and won once again. This was a quite even match. In the final I met petsen, and took the victory \o/. Was pretty even match as well. Quite early next day there was a battle, and afterwards a soccer match. Again stuff without computer is nice too. Later was the 1 hour TT battle. I really like this competition and had been looking forward to it. It went quite well. Fucked up end it Spiral and died in Downhill, beside that only a few minor mistakes. At the end I had only Lap Pro and AH left, giving me a TT of 1:11:58,29, which gave me the victory \o/. For dinner me, Napol, epp, enil and Zerox walked to this other pizza place, where I shared a hawaii with napol. At the meeting overall I had two and a half hawaii pizza, one of them with dressing. Walking there we walked by some 7 mega bik motorbikes parked, one of them having registration number "The King". Beer battle was a little boring cause you only got to play quite little time. However it was quite much fun to watch people play on the big screen. Around 2:00 we lost all power on the story. The box to turn it on again was behind alarmed door so we couldn't get it back. Kinda bad luck :I. We had no power rest of the meeting. Me, Napol, Vandmand, Fishen and Rigger played poker while most others sat and drank beers and talked. There was a little corner with light from the bathroom and the story above. Became third in poker, and we played another game, were I became second. Vandmand winning both times. Went to sleep afterwards around 5:00. Sunday not much happened so people left early. But first we sang birthday song for eppeJ who became 18 a week before. They had even bought a nice cake saying "Congratiolation, epp 18y, from the elma crew" (or something). Tasted quite good. Then we had group picture, packed, said goodbye (had minor chat we insane guy, saying goodbye. He said he might show up at another DEM sometime, that would be nice ;)) and took home. On the way home I had eppeJ and Napol with me in the car. I forgot pieing before leaving so at a point on the highway I _really_ had to pie, and drove 150 most of the time to the next pieing place. Is so long between those :/. Then I drove to Napol and epp's places and home. No problems finding the right way on the way home. I came home around 4:30 to an empty house. Took a shower, made popcorn and watched an episode of Scrubs, following by an episode of Friends. Damn that was nice. Quite tired the next day in school. You can see some pictures on moposite later I believe, I didn't bring my camera this time.
luv <3
I had the car today, so after school I drove downtown ( ;) ). First stop was discount store to buy pop corn and chips for the weekend. First time I went in there I had forgotten my money, so had to go back to the car to get it them. After that I drove to the library. They have this book sale of old books this week. My mother and sister was there yesterday, and told that they had seen Gusiness Book of world records 2000 there. I wanted that, so I took down there to check if they still had it. However I found this fantasy/role play book, which was number one of a series of two, where I had bought the second at book sale there earlier. The sale was like "A bag of books for 25 kr." So I found a few other things I wanted too. Football 2000 international matches, Sport 2002 and 11 pc player magazines. The magazine that I sent snail mail to unsubsribe just after visiting library. When I came home an talked to my mother it appeared that they had some books for sale in another room too where the Gusiness Book of world records 2000 had been yesterday. So it's likely that they still had it. Might go back later to get that.
Driving from library to post office it became quite hot in the car. 30 degress acording to the thermometer. So I opened the window. And that was when I for the first time this year got that feeling.. of summer.
Hot, fresh air and good music.
This weekend I decided to do all that stuff that I usually never get done. A little surprising I have actually managed to do pretty much everything. A nice feeling that is. :)Can't really remember what I've done, but atleast I've updated my webpages and clean up my room a little. But that's not as important as the fact that I got the things done.In other news I ordered 50 DVD+R's and 50 CD-R's today. The DVDs are for backing up the data on my extern harddrive which has been troubling me for quite some time now. For example if I'm playing music from it, it can sometimes stop for like a half minute and then go on. Sometimes in can stop working for a longer time. Really frustrating and I have now decided to send it back to the place I bought it, and hopefully get a new. What I would really want was to get something else (read: normal harddrive and usb case to have it in), but I doubt that's a possibility. :I16 days till I go to Ireland :o
After skint0r made his new site I got really motivated to play his levels. So I've been playing skint levels, skint battle levels, skint hoyl levels and skint various levels. Playing a lot of levels have given me a lot of points for the kinglist and a few days ago I became fifth. There wasn't really more levels that I wanted to play so I started to improve my times in skint battle levels and took tijsjoris' fourth place. :P Right now we are having a little battle for the fourth place. I'm leading him with five points right now. So far I've only improved times in the first 22 battle levels, so there should be plenty of points to get still.
