I love baking. I can’t say that’s it’s a passion, cause I don’t do it so often (don’t have time, I prioritise other things). But when I do, I enjoy it!

Today at 10pm I decided to make me some baking-time. As I had been shopping for a new recipe I’d found a couple of days ago, it was easy to decide what to bake; Geisha & Nutella Cupcakes.

I don’t know if you have Geisha or Nutella where you live, but basically it was a lot of chocolate. Mmm-hmmm…

Ok, so they look hideous, but please keep in mind this was my first try. I’ll make them better-looking next time. And yes, there will definatelly be a next time cause they were extremely tasty!

Now I just need to figure out how to not eat all of them tonight…

So I decided to try participate in an online Karaoke-contest on the website of one of the two biggest newspapers here in Sweden. This past thursday evening they called me to let me know the other participants and people who registered just to try it for fun had voted me as #1 and I had won 2 tickets to the Swedish finale of Eurovision Song Contest during Saturday!

Ok, so there were maybe 20 participating, but I was still chocked and I still got very happy! So I had 2 days to find a hotell and get a train-ticket, but somehow I managed and me and my sister headed for Stockholm and Globen.

We had a good view from our seats as we sat straight opposite from the scene.

My favourite was Sarah Dawn Finer with “Moving On”, which was even more “huge” when seeing it live (and feeling every beat through my body).

But the winner was Malena Ernman with “La voix”. I don’t mind, though, cause I really liked that song too.

All in all, I had a great weekend, and I don’t think anyone I would have brought along would have been as happy as my screaming sister.

I’ve recently started watching an anime called Chi’s Sweet Home. Seeing how noone in Sweden is airing the show, I watch it over Youtube.

I’m trying to take it slow so it won’t be over to soon. So far I’ve watched until episode 15, which is also my favourite.

Chi is a cute kitty who wanders off from her family and gets lost one day. A human family finds her and takes her in. It’s such a cute story! And since I love cats I can’t help but like Chi as she is the typical cat.

Anyone else watching Chi’s Sweet Home? Or reading, for that matter. It started as a manga after all.

Ok, now I’m starting to shake. Cause I know some of you have managed to find my YouTube, but still that’s only a small percent of those I know. And even though singing is a big part of my life, I’m terrified of what you will think of me after this. But like I just said, singing is a big part of my life, and so it should be a part of my blog in some small way.

Hey, this post will be drowned beneath a lot of others soon enough anyways, right.

So since my most popular video recently reached over 5000views and I just got “#98 - Most Viewed (This Week) - Musicians - Sweden” which is the first “award” (or whatever you call it - honour!) I’ve gotten, it might be time.

This is my most recent video, where I sing “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera. If you don’t like singing-videos much then you can just move along and pretend you never saw this.

I present to you, a playlist with all the songs I currently have on my MP3 (All except one - “Agnes Carlsson - On and on” - you can prob find it on YouTube if you’re curious).

What do you have on your MP3? ..or comp playlist? ..or spinning in your CD-player? Any similarities? Who shares my taste in music?

I just can’t help but love this song.

This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren’t enough
So I’ll be waiting for the real thing, I’ll know it by the feeling
The moment when we’re meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I’ll be holding my own breath, right up ’til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I’ll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
There’s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it’s just like deja vu
Me standing here with you
So I’ll be holding my own breath, could this be the end
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I’ll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
There’s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there

You can’t give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know, when it shows up, make sure you’re holding on
Cause it could be the one, the one you’re waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me, ohhh

Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know their not alone
There’s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There’s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there

Hehe.

Wow, a whole month since my last bloggings, I’m ashamed! Well, at least I have an excuse, although it’s to personal to post in my blog, sorree.

Anyways, I’m back, and I intend to get my blog up and running again with regular updates, so hi! *waves* Welcome back to my place!

I didn’t get to play to much HKO during the Christmas Reuinion, which I’m sorry for. But I did get online a few times to check out New York and the Item Mall which I have been looking forward too. Can’t wait to see that completed!

I started out by heading for the Harbour since I apparently need to go to New York by sea. On my way, I run into koray who faithfully stuck by his usual afk-mode.

So, without pausing for to long, I continued to New York who was just amazingly beautiful in it’s white and sparkly glory!

Doesn’t the street-lamps look yummy?!

But then I couldn’t wait longer, I had to see the Item Mall.

And you know what? They had bags! I love bags, so of course I needed one for my avatar. I can’t wait to see what other models will be released in OB!

And that hat is too adorable. I’ve been waiting for that since I saw a picture of it in Concept Art. I wish there where real-life hats that looked like that!

I did get another shirt also, but I switched back to my old one cause I liked that better…

I did run into one more guild-member though. juno was fighting Hedgehogs in West of Florapolis. It was fun to get to chat for her for a while. I miss my guildies!

Turns out, she liked the hats as well, only she preferred the pink bow. It’s so cute!

So… now the waiting for OB starts? And I have some catching up to do. I’ll better get started on that. Take care!

Is there some way to turn off clumsiness? Ok, it’s good that I can prolong people’s lifes by having them laugh at me, but there is a point where “ouch… ouch… ouch!“ just doesn’t include “haha”. I haven’t reached it yet, (actually I’m often the one laughing the loudest and hardest) but I’m starting to think I should be nearing it soon.

Today I got a text telling me about a meeting at my 2nd work, just as I finished my day at my 1st work. I went, but looking back I might have done better staying home. Then again.. it’s me, so you never know. I can understand how my sister laughed so hard when reading what Edward said to Bella in the Twilight series: “Are you referring to the fact that you can’t walk across a flat, stable surface without finding something to trip over?” and then turned and said to me “Ellen, you are so much like Bella!”

To start my day I went to work with three workmates. All three of them walked gracefully down a hill on their way to work so I decided to follow their shorter path and not going the longer (safer) path. Well, I’m not graceful. I fell real hard on my butt (it’s still aching like crazy). And to get up I needed to turn over on my knees. All this was done in the dark but I quickly realised I had fallen in some real wet mud! My jeans are now more brown then blue and the bag is…. oh, my poor poor bag! *cries*

I should have turned and got back home as quickly as possible. There is no such thing as “the lightning doesn’t strike twice”!

At work we played lasergame and by some magic I manage to stay on my feet and even get in a few hits on the guys from the other team. Well, don’t think that made me safe. When we got out one of the guys missed the table and hit my face with his sweaty team shirt. - Although the smile on his face and his quick departure makes me wonder if it may not have been as unintentional as I hope.

I hoped my bad luck had ended by then, but no!

I needed to sign some papers in the office and while going in I manage to trip over the threshold, fly into a chair that hit my boss so she went flying into the wall. I simply lay my head on the chair and gave up as the laughters burst out all around me.

Somehow I managed to get home without more accidents, but the day isn’t over yet, so I won’t get my hopes up. Instead I’ll go back to my new obsession; Twilight. I’m on book #4 “breaking dawn” now. I wish I could turn into a graceful vampire. Bellas description of Alice’s grace always makes me green with envy. To bad stories ends with the book. I’d like a fairytale ending of my own.

Preferrably one without bruises.

I’m really sorry for the lousy updates! I’m just not doing so well right now and I need to focus on just trying to breathe for a while. I’ll be back.

First off: I’ve found a way to post on the American forums even when I’m logged in to the European SanrioTown. Yay me!

So to celebrate I’ll eat my favourite dessert, which is ice-cream! There is a new ice-cream recently released that I simply looove! I have never eaten any ice-cream better than this (and I eat a lot of ice-cream).

Vanilla ice-cream with fudgesauce and chocolate cookies. Mmmmm… *drools*

What’s your favourite ice-cream? Tell me all about it!
