Now I'm soon off to have some sushi with Lo, a friend from Holland that's here to visit. Maria is also joining :) It will be the first time with sushi, for Lo - will be interesting to see what he thinks of it ;) Personally I love sushi :D

Then we'll play some Magic the Gathering [a card game] which will be so much fun! Been wanting to play it for wuite some time now, although.. I haven't played it in like four years so I will definitely loose haha!

Then later tonight, me and my friends are invited to dinner at Angelica's. Shall be a blast, not often we're all together at the sime time, plus Angelica is so good at making great food! :D

What are all you others up to this [here rainy] wednesday?

I just got back home, after visiting my relatives and then a fast visit at my boyfriend, wanted to see him cause he goes back to Norway to work today - we'll see each other thursday again.

Now I have some stuff to do. Unpack my bags, and then I need to clean my closet. I've just been coming and going from my bf, the festival and now the relatives so it's totually chaotic in there. But it's just so boring! So now I'm gonna do some product-photography, to show some stuff I've bought and also to write about 2 things I've lingered with for too long, since I've promised some people to write about it. Then I need to clean my room and decorate a little.

Having coffé of course, to keep me going!

Besides the fact that I want to create stuff, I want to move around. Travel, make trips, get out in the nature, go for walks [barefoot!], dance in the rain etc. hah. I saw the movie In to the Wild yesterday, and it was so darn good and really moved me. I think I feel inspired and motivated by it, perhaps. See it!

I want to photograph, edit, draw, write... create! Something. Anything. Ooh.

Got up early, packed my stuff and then it was time for a trip in the car to another city, gonna spend some time with relatives. So a sort of egocentric picture in the car will be the picture of the day. I have more red/brown hair now btw. It does not show too good here though.

Everything works here now, at least for me :D How is it for you guys?

My blog is a mess at the moment. Don't know when I'll get it fixed. Follow me on twitter for pic-updates

Had a lovely evening tonight, making and eating good food with my friends. Fantastic!

We watched Regina Spektor in the sunset with a light rain falling and a girl made soap-bubbles fly all over the crowd - it was a very beautiful yet sad concert. I saw this girl infront of me and I thought she was real pretty and I felt I wanted to photograph her, so I took a sneak-pic tih.

 

Then, as they turn around to leave, she asked me if I wasn't like a famous blogger and I was like "eeh.. noo?" and she was like "But, like raniaphoto.. or something?" And I said "well yeah, that's me." And she explained that she reads my blog, thinks it's good and that I take good pictures. She totually made my day <3 She made me so happy :D

My lovely Emmie is finually home in Sweden again -  for good [or at least for a while, one can never know for sure about her ;)], and it's wonderful! So she came to my place and we had a good time, drank some wine etc. Then  me met up with my boyfriend and a nice bunch of people and sat in a parc, then we went out dancing and so on :)

It's not easy being both a stylist/MUA, model and photographer at the same time. But I do them all rather well, if you ask me ;) I could be better with styling/makeup but hey.. no-ones perfect ey? ^^, I've been watching waay too much Americas Next TopModel though.. lot's of smizing [smile with your eyes] and HOT [head-to-toes posing] were going on today!

I need to find someone else to shoot though, and maybe a stylist.. time to go through 397 pictures of me. Hey, I never sad I was not a narcissist?

Yes, that's how it might be for a while now.

I left Lucas place today, where I currently sort of live now a days. I left my computer there. Tomorrow It's time for Pier Pressure, a one day festival. I'm so excited! Finually I'm gonna see HIM live, I've listened to them for soo many years and never seen them live. Finually!

You're not allowed to have camera with you [system camera that is] there, unless you work for a newspaper or something and have a special passport for photography. I considered fudging it in [I've done it before] but I do not feel like carrying it arround all day and also it would be a pain in the ass if I failed. Maybe I'll take some mobilepictures.

Then on monday me and Lucas will go away for the week, with his dad plus family. Off to the coast during midsummer and all. Live in a big.. hm.. it's "villavagn" in Swedish. Dunno the english word. Anyone know? [the link is a picture of one] I will have no access to photoshop etc. there. So no pictures for a while.

Will be a major update when I get back, of my 365 and maybe some other stuff. I will photograph a lot while I'm there [I think]. Maybe I'll blog some from my phone while I'm there, we'll see.

So you all, where-ever you are and whatever you're doing - have a great week!

 

Yaay, today it finually happened - I got a new phone [thanks mum]. I finually own a HTC, HTC Legend to be precise. I haven't fully mastered it and it's functions yet but I love it :3 Mum "accidently" came home with a HTC Desire for herself - the last one in our hometown, next one will arrive in 2 months! She hadn't even heard about the phone until today haha!

 

The guy in the store was awfully kind too, gave us a lot of free stuff just because we were so nice, hot and knew alot about IT/technology [I am a nerd and mum a teacher in IT] Each of us got a leathercase, 2 chargers that works in the car and I got a 4GB flashcard. He also did some magic with the prices ;)

 

So besides spending the day shopping with my mum, you can all guess on what I've put a lot of energy and what I've done hehe. Not easy though, taking a good picture on a cellphone, and I have all my "ministudio"-stuff at home... but hey, this'll have to do. Bird/owl theme on it of course :D

We slept well and long today, woke up around eleven. So I've recently had my breakfast and now I'm drinking coffé. Feels nice though, with such a late breakfast cause dinner will be later today as well. So I am "on track" so to speak.

Then I'm really gonna be productive today/make something out of this day. Sick and tired of just sitting around in front of my computerscreen.

So later I'll get on some proper clothes and go out for a walk. Probably my camera will follow with me, although I've walked that distance so many times before. Or I'll leave it at home and walk faster/run a little? Hmm..

Then I might read some, and I should write here about the last book I read. Maybe I'll grab the bull by the horns and do something of a photoidea I have, but it takes some prepping before so we'll see.

hate being broke

 

Yeah, I just booked tickets to Pier Pressure and Hultsfred. I thank my beloved mother for buying my hultsfred-ticket, it's time to get rid of my "virginity" when it comes to festivals. Hultsfred is a 3-day long festival with lots of great people and music. I'll be going with my boyfriend plus his awsome friends - gonna have a blast! Wiiee~~!!

Pier Pressure is "only" during one day but some awsome bands there to, gonna be awsome to finually see H.I.M and Paramore - can't wait!

 

Shall you guys out there go on any concerts/visit any festivals this summer? Or do you have any other awsome plans?

 

Yeah, I had a swedish version of this on my swedish blog, but I recently saw a few other bloggers use this, and since I also have this blog in english and want my english readers to be able to ask me stuff as well - I got this instead. It also had a design more to my liking. So.. go ahead and ask me stuff now - at my formspring.

Lucas is the very fucking best thing that has ever happened to me, I am incredibly happy. It's wonderful to be back home with him, and I've never felt such happiness as when I saw him at the airport and he hugged me, gave me a bouquet of roses and said "welcome home". Words can't describe my love for him.

The roses are really beutiful and are now in a vase in my room, will dry them later on and they will be with me forever <3

On my second day i France, we went to Cannes were the filmfestival was. We saw the supermodel Naomi Campell. Then we went on a outdoors cinema - soo cosy! It was free, everyone got a blanket and then we sat there, our feet in the sand and one could hear the waves of the see hit the shore while watching the movie. We saw Kiss of the Spiderwoman (1985) directed by Hector Babenko who was there and presented the film [which has won a few oscars etc] so that was celbrity number two ;) It was a great way to spend the evening on :D

Felt like updating the design on my blog a bit :3 What do you think?
