Svea Rike

That is where I'll be in three days from now. I will try out my new laptop. WOHOO!
Anyway, What have I been up to? Well, on the tuesday I went to the ballet to see Edward Scissorhands. It was really really nice I must say, I never thought I would enjoy the ballet. It is running to sometime mid-February, so if youhave a chance, see it. Matthew Bourne, who directed it got a great deal of publicity for his production of Swan Lake - with an all men cast. So anoyone who wants to combat my masculinity for seing a ballet, think about this. At least I didn't go to see that ballet. The next day we had a Street Dance class with the UK champion, who eill be competing against the US champion tomorrow, sunday. That's pretty cool. He was impressed by how quickly we picked the moves up. His name is Marlon and he dances in a group called Flawless.
I also have a small part in Claire's graduation production, which I will go do right now in fact. Tomorrow I am going to a christmas party with people from school, and then I'll go to Sweden. See you guys!
This here is the event in which MY teacher will be competing tomorrow.

Save the cats!

See ya!

And we're back...

Sorry about yesterday, I had to finish the entry quickly due to being kicked out of the internet cafe. How can they have the nerve to close at 11pm when I still have work to do! Grr.
Oh well, I told you about the wedding, but what happaned after? Well, I went back to England where I suddenly transformed into an adult or something. I turned 25. Nah... I seriously doubt that adult thing. Anyway, My parents and my grandparents on my father's side came over to London to see me. That was very nice, we went out to eat, we saw the tower of London, where Marianne, my grandmother had a very interesting conversation with a raven, and they joined me at my house and celebrated my transition into.. twentyfiveness.


Left to right, my grandfather Karl-Erik and my grandmother, trying out a new hat in the tower of London.

This one suits her quite well I think.

My father at Tower Bridge

My mother in... some place we ended up when we got lost

Me in the same place

After they went home, did I get to rest? Not really. School got totally busy close to the exam. All the directors needed to show their pieces before the last week so rehearsals went on way past midnight. After that week, did it get easier? No way, the preparations for the exam kept us all in school past 01:00 every night. On the thursday I got home past 04:00! Buy you know what? I liked it. Even now I don't have a lot of time to relax as I am in Claire's final Production, and two more pieces due last week of term. But you know what... It's all great! It's ok to be worked like an animal if you do it for something you enjoy. And I sort of like the animal analogy. Anyway, there was a picture contest due ages ago. Sorry about that but it appears that I was not the only one being busy. There was only one entry, which will then automatically be crowned winner. Congratulations Marcus Hammar. 10 points.

I will not show the new high score here as this contest got a little.. well it wasn't really a contest with only one contestant. Here is the picture though.


This is a picture of.. snowmen... inspired by me and the creator, Marcus. The one on the left is me, as I am holding my trusty machete and the one on the right is, well...

That's more or less it for the big update, double entry. I will have another contest like this one so that more people have time to join.
Here is what I want most for christmas.
A snow leopard! The other species will do too, but mostly I want a snowkitty. I've been a really good boy this tear and I have worked hard!

Anyway there is a PS. In the tower of London I saw someone who reminded me of mr Neil Martin. Check it out!

Save the cats!

See ya!

I live again!

That's right. I am back.
I have been absent from this journal(not blog) for quite a while, but believe me, I had my reasons. The important thing is; here I am and I have a big update for you.
I went to the wedding of my big sister Linda and her, now husband, Lars Gunnarsson. I must say this wedding was somethign special and I'm not just saying this because she is my sister, it really was great. I sang in it you see XD
No really, the whole thing was fantastic. Big family get together, a ceremony in a very old little church, older acctually, than Sweden itself. The party afterwards really cool, many friends and relatives showed up and the mood was just great. I also held a little speach, which I was quite proud of.
Check it out!
The beautiful copuple, dancing on the wedding night.
This here is my sister. But of course you knew that.
These are both my sisters. Karin held a speach too, by the way. I don't think I have ever seen anyone that nervous before in my life!

The bride and her bridesmaids. Left to right, cousin, friend, bride, friend, sister.

Rebecka, Linda's daughter, also did some entertaining.
