hove 2011.

I miss the festival life so much. I came home from Hove with a full memory card, without my voice and 

with my heart full of great memories. I'm having a hard time understanding all of this actually happened.

I've seen so many amazing artists perform and sang along with many of my favorite bands. I worked for

NRK P3, and my job was actually to make the campers happy. We had so much fun, and I was lucky enough

to take Katinka with me! She seemed to love it as well, and it was her first festival experience.

I stood all in front, in the middle at the Brandon Flowers concert - and he smiled to me (!),
Tinie Tempah blew me a kiss from stage, Robyn smiled for my picture and I met a whole
lot of great people! I've managed to pick about 60 photos out of 2000.

I wanted to take one of these back home with me.

A severe part of the festival life.

Hope to see as many of you at Hove next year!

Sorry I forgot to mention I would be gone for a whole week! I'm at a festival working for NRK P3.

I'm having the best time of my life - and not even the rain we've had the past couple of days bothers me.

Still, I had a couple of days to work on my tan line. I've met a bunch of amazing people, shot some great pictures,

and seen some AMAZING concerts! 30 Seconds to Mars was insane, Linkin Park was great, Tinie Tempah

blew me a kiss from the stage, and Brandon Flowers smiled at me as I cried and sang my heart out throughout

his amazing concert. I managed to get all in front and in the middle at the Brandon Flowers concert, and

there are not enough words in the world to describe what I'm feeling now. Katinka, who came with me to Hove,

is the best. We are having a great time, enjoying the festival life, making the campers happy and playing around!

Tonight we are excited to see Robyn on stage! I'll be back with more pictures and updates on saturday.

PEACE 'N LOVE.

shopping and ben & jerry's.

Here's some pictures from my lovely wednesday. After work I met up with Henrik and Nene.

Henrik waited patiently while Nene and I shopped. Afterwards we went to Ben & Jerry's for ice cream.

Sun and rain. Beautiful.

Wish you a great friday!

shopping with the girls.

A day in Oslo with the girls - a day well spent. Had so much fun with these two fabulous looking girls.

Katinka in her awesome pants, sexy shoes and new suede leather jacket!

While Synnøve was trying out some shoes, we figured photographing ourselves in the mirror was a good idea.

I'm wearing my favorite Pilgrim watch and a charm armband from Pilgrim, my beloved YSL ring, moms scarf, my new beige blazer and my lovely purse from Asos.

good times.

Friday I was planning to celebrate my birthday, but the girls were all busy so I was going to spend the  evening at home. Until I got kidnapped that is.

My mom blindfolded me, telling me my little sister had a surprise for me in the front yard. Suddenly I

was left to myself, no one responded and someone led me through the yard and put me in a car.

The girls were obviously busy kidnapping me and I had no idea about what was going on.

Mom, my brother and sister was involved and the girls had really planned this!

I was didn't know wether I was going to laugh or cry. It was a bit scary and we drove around for an hour

(they got a bit lost on the way) and I had no idea who was in the car, 'cause no one was talking. But they

were playing loud music; my all time favorite songs. I can't believe how they've

picked up on all of the songs - I bet Katinka should have the credit for this. I have so many great memories to each song they played. 

After an hour of driving I was led up some stairs, taken inside and put in a chair. I got a glass in my hand

and suddenly I heard the girls singing the birthday song. I took the blindfold of and I couldn't help but cry

a little as I saw Synnøve, Katinka, Katharina and Marit singing to me and I realized I am the luckiest girl

to have the most amazing friends.

Marit and Katharina had made a lovely dinner, Katinka had baked the best carrot cake,
while Synnøve had made the sweetest muffins with dark and white chocolate and loads of frosting.
We had such a great evening; eating, talking and laughing. I also got the nicest gift!
Thank you girls, thank you for making this the best birthday surprise ever - you are the best!

The following day, saturday, I met up with Synnøve and Katinka.

We went shopping and had such a fun day. (More pictures to come).

 

Synnøve and I.

Saturday night we went out and had a blast!

 Me, Synnøve, Torstein, Henrik & Katharina.

A happy twenty year old girl!
