"Til du som ler og smiler når du kriger"

Today has been a day of wasting time on the sofa with me, candy and some South Park on the tv. Nothing i haven't seen before. And now i'm relaxing on the floor with my computer, an insanely messy table, the warm wooden floor, some Billie Holiday and thinking dearly of my nicotine obsession. You don't have to take three guesses. I'm going out for a smoke in a little while.

I'm up on 20' on my drugs and NAV cancelled my meeting. And yes, it's a good thing!

Have an awesome friday, people! You American people out there should tell New Yorkers to check out Janove and Rune when they're running for the marathon! Apparently they're already there.

Yup, it's his birthday today
so that's why i'm posting a second time
And nice pictures of him.



And a nice short video i filmed in Bergen.



Should i dwell on what he did in heaven before he was born, like i did with Geir? Well, we all know they named him the Jackal, and when he was born they named in Jan Ove. Is there more we really need explained?

Oh Janno, how i love you.

I visited mom today. She and i watched the Michael Jackson memorial, and in the end i had to hold my arms around her because she had been crying for two hours already, i felt sorry for her :P

Now that's said, our family has always loved, for as long as i've been alive, Michael Jackson. My family loves to dance (well me and my mom, and neither of us are doing a good job but ... anyway). My parents have a videotape of me dancing to Michael Jackson's Dangerous album when i was 5. I was wearing a vest and i had my hair in a pony tail like him. Oh how weird i was.

Anyways, so Inger Lise sent me a videoclip earlier tonight. I opened it, and to my surprise it was me, dancing to Smooth Criminal in her room as TEENAGER. Wtf? There exists now a video of me young and ... younger? Anywho. I don't know exactly how old i am in the clip, but i'm thinking around 16, and i am willing to make a fool of myself and share it with you.

I look horribly stupid, so don't get your hopes up. I am no MJ xD



That ought to give some of my closest a laugh anyway. Me being me. xD
And i've been working on that moonwalk since a little fucker, and i still can't do it so i've lost hope for that.

Other than that my day has been rather uninteresting. The dog went crazy when i let her out. She started running around the house, yelling. But she was happy.

Today is Geggz birthday! HAPPEH BIRTHDAY ! 

Oh and that's it! I'm making my lj a friends only! Because people have started to add me, who i don't even know... So yes, you suckers out there who added me and now gets to read this; you make me actually delete you and then make you NEVER READ MY LJ AGAIN.

I feel like such a diva, people reading my lj as if it can't stop them.. *ta* :P
So from now on; Friends only! 

So exactly 34 years ago today, in 1975 to be exact (Wow, 75 is 34 years ago... ) a little baby Geir was born.

Before his birth, God talked to him in the lobby of "exit" in heaven, saying "Now you have to raize the hell and ompa the shit out of people down there!! They don't KNOW how to, so you guys gotta teach 'em!" "Who?" "You, and the rest of your future band. The members are; one who will call himself the leader of this band (and you will hate him from time to time and go "Who the fuck do you really think you ARE?!!" But dont' forget, he's your best mate. You will get to know him in a few years, he's not born yet. And the cutest little puppy in this band is also younger, by years. Be nice to him. The bassist (who also plays the kontrabass) will change face after some time in the band. But the mysterious guy on the pump organ, and the sweet drummer will have the same types of faces on them (or well, one of them will change during the day from scary-looking back to normal but you will only think it's super cool so don't dwell on that.) and then you guys will go on tour, where people wants to hand out drugs for you and ladies wants to shag you... The only thing you wont turn down is alcohol. As you probably hear, it's a roller coaster ride, but first you gotta concentrate on growing up. You've got different bands to go through before joining in on the Kaizer ship. After some time in the business Norway will hate you every now and then, but that won't shake your fans into hysteria. You will even release a solo album. ENOUGH NOW. GO,  HELLRAIZER WOOH! " "whu?"

And before Geir gets to say anything more, God pushes his soul into the little baby who suddenly starts to cry in the hands of a random doctor.

...

... yeah. I'll go now :P 

First, a little song; Det er geeeeeeir's dag i dag.. herregud for en hæærlig daaahaaag! (Ja det er jo sol ute, så hærlig er den uansett :P) 

I just came up with a new song, Jalla. But then i remembered, Travis has already done it! 

fuck... :P

Today is gorgeous. Outside i mean. :D 

The sun is shining but it's not too hot, but it is warm! I am thinking about borrowing the dog and walk to... i don't know, anywhere? I'm a bit mad at myself for sleeping in so long. It's 14:28 to be exact and i just got up! Lately i've gotten up by 10 or 11, but 14 is too much. Although i think i know what kept me there. I kept waking up but i forced me back to sleep to continue with the dream, which i did. I dreamed i was moving out of this shit town, to another. And the city was BEAUTIFUL and the weather was lovely. I ran through the city yelling "I FINALLY MOVED" and everything felt so good. I remember before moving that my mom tried to keep me here by saying stuff to me at the airport. (So where i moved is far away :P) But i didn't care. I remember jalla came to visit me, and she wanted to see the city so we walked to the "end" of it (like near an ocean) and there were plenty of little houses down the hill, and the most terrific one standing out was the HUGE blue building that seemed quite old for today. It was almost like this, but yet not :P It was HUGE and blue with the windows being white, and it was pretty old. I think no one used it today, but it was used once upon a time. New blue replicas of the house was build after its time so to make it look good. In one of the replicas there was a restaurant and people could sit there on the huge lawn tha surrounded the blue house. I think it was used as a psychiatric during the 18th century or something. We also watched the ferry take cars from one place to another, from the hill. I miss my imaginary loving place!

It was like, total peace when hanging out in the city. I felt like i was actually, really living here. And i even had a job (!), a workplace i really loved! 

Ugh. Enough about the dream. I'm just... going to eat my breakfast in peace now.

Fucking perido! ¤%%&"#¤ i'mma##¤%%fu**#"%"¤&!!!!!!! 

Yes, that is my rage, FYI! 

I tried having fun with the dog outside today, you know, throw and fetch stuff (and i even found a football) but the pain, oh the paaain! I've been watching the dog since 09:00 and now it is 19:04 and mom called and told me "i'm at your aunts house. We're having a coffee"... so i begged her. "WHEN YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY HOME; CAN YOU BUY ME A BAGUETTE? I'M CRAVING IT!!" She said yes, thankfully. And also she's giving me a chocolate. Moms are nice like that. They know how you feel of course :P

On sunday, after i had written my entry about the waking up, i lay my head down on the sofa, put on twilight and fell asleep :P With purpous of course, but twilight has nice music in the background, and i wanted to have it on. I remember i heard the scenes far away.

Kitty needs comfort. Sirius is sick. 

You guys know how Geir tend to irritate people? So that people who don't even know about Kaizers Orchestra hates him? Yes the Zahl.

Like, he never stops to surprise with his opinions. Well, it's not his opinions sometimes, it's just facts of what Norway has become or how people are that surprises others! One time he was called "Norways most pathetic artist" because anewspaper asked him what he thought about the member of the salvation army who got suspended because he was homosexual and had a boyfriend, and he answered that A; he does not support the salvation army's view, even though some in the band do, and B; he doesn't really understand why homosexuals are so eager to become martyrs"

He often takes on the "political correct"-nes in Norway, and puts examples out there to why we can't, in our society, discuss topics like prostitution? Here's a funny example he did (from the article about the salvation army debate); "The prostitutiondebate. Should we criminalize prostitution? Very unpleasent topic, evasive answers, can't women find that out? Prostituion is, above all, the oldest job in the world, and it will exist either other way, but then again it must be awful to sell your body. So can we talk about something else? "

You should learn norwegian so you could read his extremely well written article about that. It's extremely funny, witty, emphatically and well articulated.

Now, i doubt he's done it again but he sure must have pissed off someone with this; www.side2.no/musikk/article2610660.ece
Where he lists 5 bands that are overrated like; Pink Floyd, Kiss, Leonard Cohen, Pearl Jam (where he writes that they apparently are the reason to why nickelback and creed exists so that's why he wants them on the list) and Joni Mitchell.

:D and over at Kaizers.no he says that he doesn't hate these bands, he just hates Nickelback and Creed.

HEHEHE :D HEHEHEHE ... HEHE 
:D

I have always actually been outside of my family. Like with my cousins? On my fathers side. My brother has more contact with them than i do. I never see them outside of family things, because i don't want to "intrude" and besides i don't think we could get along since i've always been treated in the corner, like one cousin to another they keep stuff from me, things i can't get to hear. Like they think i'm going to rat on them? Come on, we're over 20 all of us except from two who are like 9 and 14! So the old folks placed the "youth" in the sofa today when we ate cake and had coffee. So everyone kept talking about "You remember last saturday when i met you out on the town?" and "Yesterday me and her" and yada yada about everyone, and i sat listening. At first i was like "stop living in your head and talk with people." So when people got quiet around the table i said something, like "Oh that reminds me, one time i - " and then something random comes up and they are all staring in the wall. And then someone else starts on another thing, not relevant to what i said. Only my brother can turn his head and say to me "you're stupid" or something, but in a .. way that is not meant harm but... for norwegian kids " kor teit!"

But there is one cousin who i used to hang out with when i was a kid. She is 26 or something, and when she sat herself beside me she asked me stuff and i finally got to talk. They are all oh so curious as to who i am, but they don't want me to show them. But she was nice enough to talk about stuff that i could shoot it on. I don't know, maybe it's me. Except from the family dinner earlier this week i haven't seen any of my cousins for like over a year, and we live in the same city, while they hang out all the time. Oh well. :P YES I FEEL LEFT OUT! I would say yes to an invitation. Like, two of my cousins live together (they are sisters) in a house 15 minutes away from where i live, and i've never been inside because they have never invited me. I don't like to show up unnanounced, i like to know that i am wanted, or else i would feel so out of place bustin in on them. They have lived there for 4 years or even more. I don't remember when they moved in.

Ok so i stop here.
Maybe it's me. I don't like that side of the family. Or, the old folks. My grandmother was nice enough to tell me that "you're clothes are not appropriate for a get-togehter like this. Take off your hoodie!" "No, it's an inside hoodie." "It is definitely NOT!" (My kaizer jacket.) "Yes it is, and i don't care how you did it in the old days, i don't wear dresses and i don't have any other "nice clothes" " ... She walked away and Charlotte, one of my cousins shook her head and said "don't start with her, you know how she goes on and on." "Well, don't start with me."

NOW I STOP. Andrea. Videocall whenever you read this? ^^

Woh! Ok just showered. I am very calm now, but my legs HURT!

Survey. .

( let's slapp off! )

I went to bed around 2 am. I had to get up at 8 am. So i figured, knowing me, that this was enough sleep. I have never had trouble getting up after those hours before.

Then i wake up, heart pounding because the doorbell is ringing. I can't find anything. I have to get dressed before i open the door, and i can't find nothing! And i stress as i look because the doorbell is going on like mad. Suddenly i run to the bathroom, knowing that i must have some clothing in here. Finally i find the most crucial, puts it on and run for the door. I open it, and there is my mom calling me a "Søv-drøver" something i, frankly, have no i dea what is? And i remember thinking and speculating, because i've heard "drøvtygger" and i know what that is. Then i came back to reality, and mom started; "I have no idea how many times i've tried calling you, but we have to go." My cousin is getting "Konfirmert" and at 10 am we were suppose to hit the church. "I.. uh.. wh... uh... my hand is all shaky!!". I was feeling like shit. I can't believe i haven't woken up to 4 different alarms. And a ringtone. I've done that before. It's like, when i haven't slept for two hours, sure, i can fall in deep sleep then. Or if i haven't slept for over 24 hours or more, but this? This is nothing! And oh man, Benjamin is going to be so disappointed. He was looking forward to me being there because he thinks it's "lame" and we were going to conquer this together...

I'm just a real bastard sometimes! *slaps self*... i don't deserve the air i'm breathing right now.

Being a woman is not funny, because; waking up to the doorbell going on and off and me thinking something must be wrong or what and has Hitler resurrected and is coming back to take my country away, where is my goddamn clothes so i can see what's happening outside, stop ringing that fucking doorbell, i've been awake for over a minute. STOP RINGING!!! AAAAGHHHHHHHHH" - all these emotions made me want to fall down like a little pathetic school girl and cry. Plus the feeling of having disappointed my cousin, after the doorbellringing, when my god forsaked mom finally left the area of my existence.

When everything was quiet around me and i tried to calm down my shaking hands when i practically could feel my heart, i sat down on the sofa and wrote this. Figured it could fix my state. And it did. I'm going to make myself some breakfast, and then i'm going to have a smoke and jump in the shower. Stress down.

Ow ow ow ow! My legs are KILLING ME. I'm not used to walk up and down mountains and stuff, but today i had to because Marianne texted me earlier this week, asked if i wanted to join her and her boyfriend along back to world war 2? I was like "Shit yeah! Wait. What do you mean?"

They were going hiking for left overs from the war, where Germans threw their stuff at the side of a mountain. THERE WE STOOD, jamming our fingernails into the ground to stuff. There were about over 100 gasmasks there, but they were so ruined that they disintegrated when i touched it. I found old shoes too. Ants stood in them when i touched it, jumping. Little babies. We arrived around 10 am, and when i asked about the time right before we ran down to the stones near the water for some grilling, Marianne told me it was "1 pm" ... whutafuck. It felt like 30 minutes. We kept looking for stuff, and then climbing back up. I think i was going to die what with my asthma and the fact that i'm allergic to nature. I had taken a pill but it didn't work much. But it was definitely worth it although i only went home with a German-produced bullet, from 1942.

Me and Are found a handle to an ooooooold bike, and we wanted to put it together though the rest of the bike was kinda missing. Suddenly Marianne called, "HERE'S THE REST OF YOUR BIKE.." totally disintegrated, rusty and stuff. And there were alot of wire fences there from world war 2, and i kept getting stuck in them. (Or more likely they wanted me close by!!) So my skin is all scratched up because i panicked. Well atleast once. I was only standing on a pile of boxes for gasmasks and they were ready to fall any minute. I was like "fuck you world war 2, you're gonna make me die, aren't you?" at one point.

But i got home safely, with my legs hurting like fuck.

Then Sondre came to visit, and we made food and had a really good time laughing like hell! I can't stop laughing when i'm with him, that's probably why i love him so much. One of the many reasons. He's a very smart person, and witty.

And now i'm having fun over at msn, so TA!

Here are some videos that was suppose to be with on my previous post about the trip, but didn't make it.

Yes i know i've posted Du Og Meg Lou before, but can you really get enough of that song? No you can't.



Anyone wondering how Señor Torpedo is live? Here's your chance of knowing. It's a nice video. A nice one. And if you like to hear Kaizers randomly talk about where people are from (and see Terje get disappointed because there was no one from Klepp at the concert? So disappointed that he threatened to LEAVE the place?) you should watch it :D
In Trondheim:



And now we have a nice video of Apokalyps Meg, in Bergen.
A very nice one. Short, but nice.



And at last

DamdamdamdaDAAAM;

Our own Jalla (Linn) making food, couple of hours after the first gig in Bergen. :D Cameraholder: me.



Enjoy :D

Now it's time for some pictures. Man, i used hours on it! But it came out nice i think, and i'm all very excited about what you think :D

( Eg ve te bergen, te bergen med det sammaaaa! Der har eg det som fisken i vanneeet! )

So that was pictures from this trip. Lots of them. :D Here are some videos i have, and please watch them ; Hope you enjoyed :D Because i didn't enjoy making this since i've used HOURS on it! hehe.
The video of jalla making food didn't want to cooperate, so later with that.

ENJOY MY VIDEO OF DU OG MEG LOU FROM BERGEN, GUYS!
Seriously, don't skip it! It's a very intimate version and i would love this video even if it wasn't mine :P



Yes i taped the whole thing, and Terje is fun!

I'm back home! :D 

We came to Bergen on Wednesday after a couple of hours in total in air. Got to linns mom's place, and yada yada. Then we went to the city, lined up for the signing (we were inside while they fixed the tables and stuff so we didn't have to wait for hours like many others. More likely 10 minutes or less. Got to talking with them. Janove bragged about the solo on Under Månen (because i had to thank him for it since i've been having weird dreams about it since the first time i heard it in... 07, so ...) Everyone as always was quite nice meeting again. I had to go back though, when the line was getting smaller because i wanted a poster signed and i had no poster and stuff. So i nicked one from the wall. Then i wanted to give Linn one as well since she wasn't there at the time, but the guy i asked was so slow with everything so when i got to Janove i was like "HOLD ON A MINUTE! HE'S GETTING MY POSTER AND YOU HAVE TO SIGN" but he said it was alright, he gave me his poster and signed it. When i came to Terje again he was like "Haven't i seen you guys before?" because Jeanette was with me on the poster signing. Geir was like "it's the second time that is the best, right?" and then i mentioned skambankt in bodø and Terje said "Aah yes, i recognized you, i saw something familiar but i couldn't place it..." aw ! 

Anyway. We walked around for hours in Bergen, then lined up and got to hear the soundcheck. All four of us just pressed our ears against the glass door and listened, until i was distracted by a door inside the hallway getting opened, and realised it was Janove, hehe. Then some other p met many bergen people who we had sing-along with outside of the Garage. Me and one other dude was the first ones inside so naturally, we had the perfect spot. So perfect, that us on the front row was drinking Janoves spit and sweat instead of water. Yeah... And he kept shoving the wire for his mic in our faces, which sometimes came as a surprise so but we got quickly back into the game. We stood waiting for quite some time though. Hehe, we met two guys (old guys in their 50's) who liked Kaizers Orchestra, who started (well the second guy who came talking to us) bashing out how Kaizers were "slabbedaska" who came too late for work and stuff, hehe. He was amusing though, but the first guy was really nice talking to! OH, in bergen i bought a Magic 8 ball. I've always wanted one of those! :D 

And i finally got to meet my bergen friend again, my kaizer friend Renate, who i met in København last april. That was fun :D She was with us on the concert. Then we had the whole thursday in bergen. Linn was going to hang out with her mom so me and Jeanette hook up with Renate and walked all over bergen almost (no way did we walk all over :P But we got to see lots of it) and we took the bus back "home" around 9.pm. Had a blast in Bergen. I love the city.

Then came friday and we went to Trondheim. Walked around city to see things, sat down by the water and Linn was all going Trøndersk and it was so funny! I have lots of videos of it. I had to tape her :P The hotel was really nice. FREE COFFEE ALL DAY! I was in coffee heaven. Then came Saturday. We hit the stores for the last time. I was so bored of malls and such that i just bought three books and a perfume i found in Bergen and hated me for not buying it there. (i actually didn't find it in Trondheim, but i bought some other..) Then we lined up, edgy for not getting front row, stuff happened, the hours went by and suddenly we got inside concert place and we got to stand with the oil barrel up to our boobs(or more likely, Linn had it up to her boobs and when janove was standing on it, me, her and some other guy had to hold it for not tipping over. ) THEY BURIED UNDER MÅNEN ON THAT LAST CONCERT! But it was great nevertheless. Rune threw his drumstick to me, which i now have. Terje walked up to me and pointed his guitar in my face, staring at me... i was ... ugh, didn't know what to do. This was during a song. And Geir was filming, that.. bloody bastard. The guy beside Linn kept yelling "TOKYO ICE, TOKYO ICE!" and Geir was like "to... tok.. too... ? whut?? i don't understand.. sorry" hehehehe. Then Janove decided to stand with his foot on the barrier infront of me while i was filming, which made a really nice video clip, haha. He knocked my camera over but it's ok. Ah so much good happened, and i don't want to dwell on it.

All in all, a really nice trip! 
i'm home now, came today... It was so nice meeting the cats and the dog again. Mom has been taking care of the cats and the rabbit, and for that i got her a signed Våre Demoner copy. And since there's a game on later we are going home to meet the rabbit and love him until we take him home.

Yes. That was my trip in a "few" words, haha. Let's just say that this was really a "kort forklart" thing.

edit: THEY GAVE US "du og meg lou" AND TERJE SANG! In Bergen he got angry or something and knocked himself over the drums and lay there in a pool of Janove's waterbottles and beers during that song, hehehe. After the concert in bergen i wanted water so i asked a guy for water, a guy on the stage and he thought i wanted something like stuff from the stage so he threw me Janove's towel. Which was soaking wet. I was like "what the hell am i suppose to do with this??" but i still have it so...

Ok so, ever since Kaizers have started putting out those two songs each day my kaizer heart has been doing the tango!  I'm so happeh, so looking forward to the new record! All of the songs they have put out are so good!! The songs today is Señor Torpedo and Stormfull Vals. Torpedo is SO GOOD! And i've always loved Stormfull Vals, this is just a better version of it. And it reminds me alot of Tom Waits' - Bride of Rain Dog! You should listen to the Våre demoner version of Stormfull Vals an then switch over to Bride of Rain Dog. It sounds like something that could've jumped in after Stormfull Vals had faded out...

Anyway, last night me and Jeanette went to bed around 2 am. Not to sleep, just talk. We even had our clothes on and stuff. Other words; we hadn't prepared for bedtime, but still... both fell asleep. :P Fucking hell, i was so confused when i woke up. Fanden Hakk i Hel was playing out in the living room, the lights was on and i couldn't remember what happened last night. What day it was and what i had been doing...

Then it hit me that we just fell asleep. I hate it when that happens. I like sleep so much that i want to be a part of it. When it happens like that, a so called surprise sleep, i get a bit cranky. I wanted to be a part of it. It was like "heeeeeeeeeeey i was not in on that!! "

Anyway. En-to-tri-fir-fem-seks-sju-åtte-ni-ti!

Can you end the song better, Janove? I love you!

My god yesterday was a total catastrophe!
I was at my cousins party. She has been nagging on me for weeks that i had to come, so i decided to come because it was her birthday and alot of family was going. I had bought beer so i figured i was good. Then, when we got there (Jeanette was with me, she also knows Lise and her friend Lill, and she had beer so she was good too)  i realised there were so many people i had never seen, one person i had talked to for some time before on msn (you know who that is actually, Jalla. I danced with him..... god how i hate dancing!) and that's about it. But i talked to one girl, she was nice... anyway. DAD... my DAD got so freaking drunk before dinner (i think we ate about 10 pm or something. Or a bit earlier actually)! Mom was drinking too and she was... well, drunk too. Kinda sloppy in her way. Dad was... horrible last night. Horribly drunk. And my mom, after dinner when dad started to wander off places, told me i shouldn't care about him because he's just drunk, and said that she wouldn't care and kept drinking and talking with people. But dad has this thing where he just wanders off and we were in the middle of nowhere, with the woods and mountains surrounding us! So i felt like i had to. Besides, all in all i just had three beers and i didn't even feel it.

So i ended up all evening, taking care of dad. He was so drunk that one time he was sleeping, standing. While i was at the bathroom i heard some chick yelled for my cousin that "SOMEONE PUKED!" And when i got out i saw lots of vomit on the floor and i just STEPPED in it! I brushed it off my shoe and walked back to my table where my cousin was, talking to my mom, asking if she wanted to clean it up because apparently, IT WAS MY DADS VOMIT I STEPPED IN. I ran out of the place, called for him and then found a black "shadow" (he was wearing all black yesterday) leaning against the car. I tried to get him inside, but he started crying like all drunkers do. When he drinks, he's just like a big fat baby! I got him inside, inside a room and placed him on a chair because mom didn't want to leave right away, so i got him to sleep. Then i went back, and both me and Jeanette kept an eye on him that nobody hazzled with him or anything. Then suddenly, an hour later, he was standing there in the door opening, sleeping. He walked outside one time, and i followed him, where he vomited again.

Thankfully he didn't wander off. He pissed on the wall outside though. Ugh. And mom started getting worked up for nothing, and got so angry and ugh! All in all it was a weird evening. BUT really, it wasn't that huge of a catastrophe because both me and Jeanette handled my very drunk parents well, and non of them got angry. Or, dad got angry alot of times because when i asked to get him coffee he claimed that he could do it himself, and that i was asking made him pissed off.

I'm going home later for the game. MAN poor dad :P He's probably feeling it really badly. I asked mom if this was normal for dad when he was at a party. She said "No, i've never seen him this drunk before. But i kinda knew he was going to drink alot today because earlier he was acting strange, depressed or something." So something was bothering him. Oh, good. You're not suppose to drink then... :P

Well anyway. I was looking at this dude and realised he was staring like INTENSE on Jeanette. She didn't notice until i told her that. "Go talk to him. I want to see what happens" and ha ha ha! He wouldnt' let her be the rest of the night. She had to dance with him and stuff. His name was Morten. That was fun. And my grandpa hit on Jeanette so much that she ran out of the place lots of times.

Ah man... I just have to smile. :D because this so went down with the fishes!
