i adore this song…
solen kom från ingenstans
jag var inte alls beredd
vårjackan låg under
vinterupptåg
gömd i min garderob
fick lust att slå dej en signal
för att få höra på din röst
du mådde bra
du lät så glad
för -”solen kom idag”
vet du vad jag egentligen vill?
vet du vad jag egentligen vill?
kommer du ut
ska jag berätta
vad jag vill
solen kom från ingenstans
allting hände på en gång
på min balkong
skrev jag en sång
om nån jag tycker om
vet du vad jag egentligen vill?
vet du vad jag egentligen vill?
kommer du ut
ska jag berätta
vad jag vill

Nothing since February eh? It’s not lookin good is it! I don’t even know if anyone realised that I moved the blog hahahah!
LOTS has happened since the last blog. I did the LeJog (i will blog about that sometime), work has been just great and now we’re following Delays on tour again. BUT - the best thing thats happened is that my Mum has finished her treatment!!! Life is good.
As usual… Lyrics. This song is just amazing. It is soooo unlike anything I normally like, but the lyric is beautiful and so fitting these days. can’t give away much more than that
Need You Now - Lady Antebellum
Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone ’cause I can’t fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call but I’ve lost all control and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call but I’ve lost all control and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
Woah, woah
Guess I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn’t call but I’m a little drunk and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now, I just need you now
Oh baby, I need you now

Took a bite out of a mountain range,
Thought my teeth would break the mountain did.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.
I took a drink out of the ocean and,
I’m treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn’t go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we’ll take a ride. I wouldn’t leave here without you.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
‘Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don’t like.
You can’t understand that I won’t leave ’til we’re finished here, and then you’ll find out where it all went wrong.
I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle, so there’s and end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn’t go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we’ll take a ride. I wouldn’t leave here without you.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
‘Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don’t like.
You can’t understand that I won’t leave ’til we’re finished here, and then you’ll find out where it all went wrong.
Nothing lasts forever, except you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)
Love will last forever, between you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
I am a mountain, I am the sea
I have actually fallen in love with Biffy Clyro. Can’t wait to see them in May!!!

Please do NOT come here tomorrow. I am far too busy and important to be dealing with you right now.

Hahaha. Well I tried 
Not much to write at the moment. Last week was relatively uneventful, this week so far has been pretty manic (work wise). So much to do, so little time. I met up with Audra on Saturday and went to see Did You Hear About The Morgans? It was really good! So awesome to see Hugh Grant on screen again
and SJP was great as ever. Other than that I spent the entire weekend doing college work. Ugh.
NOW… firstly, pic of the day:

Riddarholmen, Stockholm. As seen from the top of Stadshuset.
And secondly:
Song of the moment: Many of Horror by Biffy Clyro. I *heart* this song!
Currently Loving: Biffy.
Currently Loathing: Being bored. I really need to get outta here!
Currently Wishing: That the Delays show in Dublin DIDN’T clash with Kent in Stockholm.
Looking forward to: Seeing FeverSeason on Friday night in Southampton. Guest List FTW

she takes you in and it wears you out
didn’t want to fall in love at all
somehow it just wears you out
and after a day like this
after a kiss like this
you can never go home
never come home
you can never go home
never come home

Firstly, Happy 51st Birthday Mr Gessle! Kinda fitting that one of his songs matches my mood today of all days. Well not my mood, but the way things are right now. Except the other way round. If that makes any sense at all. Hahaha! cryptic or what eh
SO… the whole procrastinater calendar is not going so well hahah! lack of time, inspiration… whatever. I have a few scanned here but no desire to upload them. Maybe pic of the day would be better?! or song of the day. Anyways…
Today at work we had *another* Christmas party. Well it was more a New Year party by now LOL! I helped Barbara cook up an amazingly delicious feast and we all took time out from our uber-busy days to chill out, have some champagne, eat nice food and enjoy each other’s company. I really love the fact that I actually love my colleagues. I miss work when I’m not there hahah! Being home for the entire Christmas holiday made me realise how much of an escape work has been for me these last 7 months. It’s nice to be back, busy and excited about what the year is gonna bring!
OK, so… back to something I started on here aaaages ago (but of course never carried on…) -
Song of the moment: You Got It by Roy Orbison [love love love it!]
Currently Loving: Being back at work. Seriously!
Currently Loathing: The aftermath of Snow Day. It’s pretty for like 24hrs, and then it’s just shit.
Currently Wishing: Delays would announce some bloody tour dates already!
Looking forward to: Stockholm in February to see Kent. I’m looking forward to loads more than this, but that’ll do for now!

Well, snow day has hit Milton Keynes! and as I don’t have a scanner at home anymore you’ll have to wait another day or so for the calendar page.
SO…I finally got around to putting a few pix online from our trip to Ayr last May!
Ailsa Craig - the little island I was named after!

A deserted beach… somewhere on the west coast of Scotland

Brig O’ Doon (the famous bridge…), Ayr

Babe, come in from the cold
and put that coat to rest
Step inside
take a deep breath
and do what you do best
Yea, kick off them shoes
and leave those city streets
I do believe love came our way
and fate did arrange for us to meet
I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch
you’ve got the power to heal
You give me that look
it’s almost unreal
it’s almost unreal.
Hey, we can’t stop the rain
let’s find a place by the fire
Sometimes I feel
strange as it seems
you’ve been in my dreams all my life
I love when you do that hocus pocus to me
The way that you touch
you’ve got the power to heal
You give me that look
it’s almost unreal
it’s almost unreal
It’s a crazy world out there
Let’s hope our prayers are in good hands tonight

YESSS!!! I finally met Marie Fredriksson in Rotterdam! Something I could never imagine would take place… A moment in time I will never forget. She was beautiful in every way possible. She hugged me and I told her how much it meant to me to meet her after all these years. She is one very special woman…
I have sooo much I wanna write not only about last week in NL with my amazing Dutch/Danish/German friends, but also about the Delays tour last month! I’ll get around to it sometime, I promise!
