Nøkken Photoshoot!

As you probably know, I've had a lot to do these past days!
The party I attended Saturday was very fun. I met many people I haven't seen in ages! Was really fun!Met people from my old Class and the school I went to last year!

I almost can't remember what I did Sunday and Monday. I'm really exhausted so I guess my brain isn't working as it should do!
I got really scared yesterday. I think something is wrong with my Canon EOS 350D. It all of a sudden stopped working! Just for 5 minutes though. I recharged the battery and everything, and it still didn't work. I got really sad, thinking: Shoot! This is just so typical! I have a biiiig planned photoshoot tomorrow and my camera stoped working the day before the shoot!"
The strange thing is that I didn't react like I usually do when my things get broken. I always starts to cry like a baby, or screaming angrily like a maniac. Afterwards I usually panic and goes off to buy a whole new thingy without even knowing if it is possible to repair the broken thingy O.o
But yesterday, I just sat there.. Staring in front of me. I didn't want to believe it! Of course I got sad, but I just could not react in my "normal" way :P
Well, but after something that felt like hundred minutes with putting the battery inn and out of the camera. It actually work, and it still does! So I'm a little confused!
I don't know If I'm going to send it in for repair. O.o It's only 1 year and 3 months old! So it better not start fuzzing yet!

Oh YEAH! Yesterday I saw "Batman, the dark knight". It was REALLY good. I was amazingly surprised. I just love this movie. It's my new favorite movie! Me, Miriam, Dick and Lee went to see it. Ole also went, but he wanted to be with his bestfriend Ole Petter while watching the movie:) So we kind of went together, in a way:P I LOVE Heath Ledger. It's a shame that he is dead. It's really sad!

The big thing!!! :
I had this planned photoshoot today! Gooosh, It's the most difficult Photoshoot I've ever done. It was definitively worth it! I don't know if the result turned out good, but I'm crossing my fingers that it didn't!
For those of you who don't know what/who Nøkken is, try search for Noekken on Google. I don't know if he's a Norwegian myth character but I've heard about him ever since I was little. That he plays on his fiddle, allure people into death with his music. He can appear in 3 shapes; Human, white horse and water monster look a like.
I had to step inside this disgusting water myself, I actually was terrified. Had problems controlling my fear! I was so afraid of how deep the water was, if I was going to drown or sink.
All in all, it was a lot of fun, but it was freeezing! Hallvard made up fire for us, and we had sausages too! I don't know what I would have done without all these people helping me! I never could have done this alone! I'm so grateful! Such wonderfull people!
And thanks to my models too! . They were wonderful! Love thise people. I'm really giong to miss everyone when I move!

Finished packing, planned photo shoot and weekend!

(wrote this yesterday, but Blogger could not upload my Blogg, posting it now instead:) )


Weekend again!
It feels good this very moment! I've taken the time to watch TV and Batman begins. Have to prepare for the new Batman movie;)
I feel so relieved, I've packed all my belongings in my room and everywhere in Liv's house. I'm ready to move now. Just have to get some few things settled first. It feels so strange, my room so empty. It's nothing there. It just looks like a post office now. LOL. I'm just sending everything I've got in through post mail (?):) I have used several days to pack everything. Spent long night and long days doing everything. It has been quite exhausting. I could not relax before everything was packed in the boxes. Quite frustrating. I feel calm now, and finally I can do something with friends without thinking about the packing. And I can't believe I only have 4 days left on work! wonderful!:D


All my belongings! :) lol^^


My new wardrobe :)

I've ordered the flight ticket too! Leaving Tromsø August the 6th. Some people may say that I still have much time left here, but I don't agree. I have too many people to meet. I have to many appointments with people, don't know if I can make it though. But I will try my best! Tomorrow I'm going on a party to a friend I went to school with last year. A lot of folks from the school is coming. I actually think I'm going to get drunk!:P Been too long since last time. I also believe that this is the last time I'm going to get drunk here for a while. I'll try to control my drinking tomorrow. But I think it will be fun!

I was supposed to have this big photo shoot today. But the weather ruined my plan! So we have to do it next week, when it's warmer outside. But when you live up North, it's hard to rely on weather cast. O.o I just hope we'll get the chance to do the photo shoot. We've planned so much now.

I've had two photo shoots this week. I'm happy about that. Yesterday I shoot a friend named Hallvard. It was fun, although I was very exhausted. I haven't retouched the photographs yet. But I will take care of that when I have the time:)
If we had done the planned photo shoot today, I don't think the photographs would've turned out good. I would have been to much focused on the packing and everything that had to be settled.

Apartment and Photo shoot with Alina

An update again!
It's late now, and... All of a sudden I lost my inspiration to write a new blogg update. *sigh* What to say. I'm a bit confused, although I have good news!
We found an apartment and the landlord seems to be a wonderful person. My boyfriend and the landlord actually went out partying this evening... which I think is quite strange. The landlord is young though. Real easy person to talk with!
Djeez, I'm quite sad sitting here. Alone at the moment, listening to Nightwish, the newest album. Ole told me they were at some strange party of a kind. If you go to Youtube and click this link you'll see strange this:Tirsdagsklubb mannen

Anyway, I'm so happy that we now have a place to live. By the way, the apartment is the cute one I uploaded pictures of on Friday (?). The confusing part, the above mentioned, isn't the only reason why I'm sad. It seems like we have to move around 1 of August. It's so little time left with all my friends. I went to my old work at Bohus today, and brought paper boxes with me home. I really need to start packing now, although we don't know how to send all our stuff to Oslo. Of course we want it as cheap as possible, and simple! This is the last "problem" we have.

I don't know how my days without seeing Liv Elin and Bent Are so often is going to be. Strange. They are way to close to me. It's going to get terrible to move out from Liv's house! Just hate the packing and everything. It hurts! And then, leave my little brother and little sister. I don't even know if I'll ever come back to live here. Well... It will be alright, but for now it's just hard. Going to miss everyone so much. I'll try to go to Tromsø as often as possible, but I won't have a lot of money to spend when I'm gonna study.

On Sunday I finally finished my drawing. I think it turned out quite okey compared to other work I've done lately! I don't know if I have any chance in winning the competition, I don't think so. There were too many good drawings on DeviantArt. But it was really fun to draw. Althouh my shoulders hurt like hell!

I had an Photo shoot yesterday. I really enjoyed the Photo shoot. It was so fun. Alina came over to my place at 6pm. We talked for a while and then we tried to decided which dresses she should wear. We chose two dresses. One which is my great grandmothers, a brown one. And the other dress I bought in Japan. It's awesome really! I just love all the Japanese clothing. I seriously want to go back and buy more clothes! If I had enough money, I've would've done that once a month! :)







Well... Work is okey and funny now. I know it's because I'm changed place to work. Changed "station" kind of:p haha. It's much easier to be at work. I really enjoy work when Hedda is there. I feel so close to her. We have the same kind of humor and our minds are alike! She is really cute too!
^^

My drawing:D

University, drawing, photo's and party!

Hey!
I just came home from the city. Me and Liv Elin (my best friend) decided to take a night out this Saturday. We went to a place called Arthur's. Two Chinese friends of mine have bought this place and painted the whole pub. It was really cozy, and we sat there for one and a half hour. A lot of different people were there. Oh, I was so happy to see my Dick and Lee again. They are such lovely boys! Always smiling, always polite. Lee and I are going to take a cup of coffee on Tuesday. I really look forward to!








Drunk people are so unappetizing. All those beautiful girls looks so... haha drunk! Their eyes are red and swollen, they can't walk. Have no control of their body. It don't look pretty at all! My Boyfriend was really drunk to night, I'm a little bit angry because he gets so rude and unpleasant. He doesn't act like himself or anything at all. I also told him not to come to my house, but guess what.. haha, he did! He just forget everything I say when he is drunk. 10 minutes after I told him that I wanted him to sleep at his house, he called me again. Asking the same questions all over. I had to laugh though. I though he was going home, but he went to my place instead >_< XD Sleeping beside me now. Almost pushing me out of my bed:P

The morning started with nerve wrecking happenings. My friend sent me a message and told me she had been accepted to the university! I ran out of bed and checked my answer from the university! And guess what? I'm going too! I'm so happy. I have 3 other friends, attending the same study. That's really funny! The only thing missing, is a place to live! But Ole Morten is going to Oslo on Monday to check out some apartments!

I've also been drawing today, but I'm not finished with the drawing. Hopefully tomorrow! As I tolf you yesterday I was planning to take photos, and I did. But only of the nature though. But I think it was fun and nice!


Taken at Night:D Both of them!

I bought the dress and shoes in JAPAN :D:D:D:D I looove the dress and shoes:D

New projects, weekend, plans, apartment.

Hello again!
Finally Friday and weekend! This week has felt like 3 months. There were so much trouble on work. Lack of people and a lot of children. Too many of them actually. I'm kind of exhausted after this week and my back, neck and shoulders hurt like hell!

At this very moment, my mood is terrible. I'm just negative, angry and sad. We have decided to rent an apartment in Oslo. So we started to look after somewhere to rent some few days ago. The problem is that I get so darn negative after looking through 10-15 apartments. And I'm just think: ah, what the hell! We're never going to get a place to live!
The other thing is that we can't just leave our work and go and take a look at the apartment when it takes a lot of money and 2 hours with plane. What to do? *sigh* I just want a place to move in to. And all these worries, work is killing me. I almost can't stand it anymore. I hope the apartment thingy will be okey soon!

I haven't done that much this week. I have been drawing a lot though. Almost finished with the drawing you've seen the sketches of! I think it will turn out good actually. So far I am pleased with it! I'm attending this competition with that drawing. But I don't think my chances are good. Time will show! I'll probably put it up here by tomorrow evening!

Other than that, I'm planning this big photoshoot for next weekend. I can't wait to get my hands on this project. But you guys have to wait for a while before you'll see it!;) I have much to plan and do, to make everything almost perfect! I also have a lot of other photo ideas.
Soon, I will go to the city and take some pictures of the people who's out on the street partying! I was hoping someone wore nice clothes or makeup or something. But I hope they don't look to drunk!;P Haha... ANyway, gonna take some pictures of the nature here too! I'll probably submit them tomorrow:)

I'll post some picture of an apartment that I've fallen in love with! Although it's small:/ But I don't mind small rooms and stuff!:)

I really like the kitchen. Cute:)

This save's a lot of space, I think it is really cute! Love it!:D Can have my computer under the bed XD


really cute livingroom, but small. I'm not sure yet where to get space to draw if we choose this, but will see!

The end of the weekend

Does anyone enjoy the last hours of the weekend?
I don't XD I just hate it when I wake up Sunday morning,knowing that I have to go to work the next morning. Always ruins my good mood a tad:(

Anyway, this weekend has been great! My boyfriend and i went out to eat on Egon (the new restaurant that opened here in Tromsø) Friday night. Afterwards we drove to my great grandmothers house, two hours away from the city we live in. We arrive quite late at night, but my little brother was still awake, welcoming us. Then we went to bed.
I spent Saturday morning taking photos of my little sister. Trying to make her pose. Which was quite difficult, since she didn't like it that much and got this grim look in her face. So after 150 Pictures, I gave up. Although some of the pictures became good. Instead I took some self portraits which turned out interesting:)





Other than that, I've been practicing with retouching. Quite different, but also really fun! You learn so much, really!
We ate a lot of good food on Saturday evening. And I know I promised myself to draw, which I didn't on Saturday! BUT... I did today! Hah... I'm quite proud of my self and I think the drawing may turn out good, if I take it slow;) I also studied some Japanese in the car on our way home. But I got really tired... Guess I feel a little bad about that.
These days, I'm planning some photos. I'm searching for some good models. Girls with dark hair and light skin. Need to do some research tomorrow. I also have to sew a dress for the photo project and find a nifty location.
yup yup! Also have a lot of other stuff on my mind. Still don't have any place to live in Oslo... Well, don't want to think about it just yet!;)
Enjoy!

Pictures with Liv Elin and my new drawing!

Here you'll have a new update!
These past few days have been quite busy with work, my boyfriend and workout. The weather is still cold outside and I can't wear any nice summer clothes. Which is a shame. I'm absolutely looking forward to moving to a warmer place!
I'm so sick of work now. I seriously hate my job. I'm just waiting for the weekend to come. And when it does, it over in a wink. It's gonna be a long time until I'm gonna work in a daycare. Really looking forward to this weekend. Spending time with my boyfriend and family. Although I'm gonna miss my best friend, Liv-Elin.
We had so much fun today. When we got home from work, we cooked dinner and talked. Then we decided to arrange a little photo session with exiting make-up. It was so much fun! I used green colors and green feathers as eyelashes. I love green! It's such a refreshing color!




I'll try to take some photos this weekend, and I will try to finish this drawing I've started! I'm illustrating "insanity". Got this strange idea! I will finish it in gray scale. Pencil drawing. I need to do something traditional I think!





Some tea drinking, me trying my last years summer dress. Which is too big now O.o And my new drawing, sketch though!:) That was it for today. I need to go to bed now. Been up too late these last evenings! Nighty!

Drawings and conclutions.

The night fell upon me once again!
I've just finished my second ice coffee this evening, and now it's time to go to bed. No surprise when I say I'm not tired eyh? Anyway, I can't say this day started out good!
I woke up 3pm. way too late! Ole Morten and I ordered pizza and watched Sweeney Todd and Juno. I must admit, none of the movies impressed me. *sigh*
I've been drawing today. I continued on the drawing I started yesterday. The bad thing is that I get in bad mood when I draw. It wasn't like this before, you know? I was alway happy drawing some years back. I really don't know why this has happened. I think I have higher expectations now. I really get annoyed when the drawings don't turn out the way I want. Also, before, I always drew things without any form of reference.
I always though reference was like cheating and that the drawing wasn't going ti be as original. I was really against using reference but now, I must admit that if I want to improve. I really need to use reference. If I don't, my drawings get to simple because I lack of information. When I was at the age of 14 I often copied other artists drawings, and therefor improved. I "saved" information on how to draw for example anatomy. After some years, I felt good enough to manage without copying other artists drawings. But I really need to start doing it again. You learn so much doing it. And then again understand so many different things. You also get aware of how to draw things you can't.
For a period now, I think I'll only copy other artists drawings to improve. Perspective is a must. I suck drawing perspective. I use John Howe and Allan Lee's drawings as reference these days.
Here are some pictures from today:




A part of my hobbit house^^


The drawing I'm working on, which I don't like:P

Photo shoot and a sketch!

Heyas!
Today has been a lovely day! The sun was shining outside the window when I woke up with my boyfriend this morning :)
A friend of mine, Pia, came over to my place after some hours. We walked the dog and talked about various things. Girl stuff, like usual. Since Pia was going to a party later I wanted to do her make-up and hair. And just for fun, take a fast photo shoot of her. Some of the pictures turned out really cute! I just love my camera! I feel addicted <3


Pia Entner.


Pia Entner

Look how cute she turned out! Was really fun to do her make-up! I hope someone gives her a compliment this evening/night!
After she left, another friend came over. He is called the "Jewlery Maker!" Cute name, although his real name is Bent Are. We've just had a really long talk, ate strawberries, drank ice coffee and went walking the dog. Who by the way, opened the door and ran away for an hour or something like that.

I planned to draw a drawing today, which I did! Although I almost got insanely mad for a second when the drawing looked awful. But I got myself together and tried several more times. Finally I got a good result after all. The bad thing is that I'm so incredible slow drawing, so it takes too long time to draw a drawing! But I've promised myself to finish this drawing! It's about time.

Here are the self portraits!

inspiration in the night!

I'm sitting in the living room with my boyfriend. It's 02:51 Am, and we're still awake. Kind of strange really. Usually, he's the one who wants to be up late at night.
And when I want to do that, he is tired. Even though he has slept for 12 hours and I for 6. This is unusual for me I must admit. But I guess it's because of the midnight sun and the lack of dark in the night! I don't think I'll ever get used to these bright summer nights. I really don't want to go to bed in the summer weekends.
There are so many things I want to do these days, I can't decide what to do from day to day. It is so difficult! I really feel like I need to get my hands on a new drawing or painting really soon, but it seems like I only have eyes for Photos these days. Also my Japanese is going really slow now. I was supposed to know all the Kanji's in the chapter I'm working with now. It is frustrating, a lot of the Kanji's are so alike. Sometimes I can't see the difference and sometimes I just mixed them. The words I'm practicing is really simple to remember. Wish it was like that with Kanji too! *sigh* I need to get myself together and read some Japanese before I'm attending the university this autumn!
My Boyfriend ( Ole Morten) and I went jogging today. Compared to last year we went jogging, I'm extremely positive and it's not as hard before. I really hope we will keep on jogging, it's good for us. I'll try to work out every other day from now. That may be too much, but who knows.
My big plan for this evening was to draw a black and white pencil drawing. But hey... I had a little self portrait photo shoot instead. I wore on of the dresses I bought in Japan. It's is really cool, but I don't think I'll get the chance to use it here. It's so damn cold, I want to use mittens every day. The wind is freezing and the sun don't help much! It's a disaster! When in the world am I supposed to wear all those clothes from Japan? Maybe the cold weather isn't the biggest problem though... The people living here in this deserted city would take me for a whore if I wore those clothes from Japan. I guess it will be different when I move to Oslo.
I tried these loooong nails I bought in japan, which all the japanese girls wear all day. It's crazy! How in the world can they do anything with their hands? My boyfriend had to do everything for me! They are way too long compared to the glue-on-nails here in Norway. The Japanese girls are really amazing... Long nails, which for me, is impossible to use. and at least 10cm high healed shoes O.o I've tried to figure out how they can do all this but I really don't understand it. I'm dying after one hours with high healed shoes! I'll write more about the Japanese fashion later. Think my boyfriend, who's sitting beside me is really tired now. So I'll end my blog with this!
One day, I'll upload some pictures with all the clothes I bought in Japan :D

Welcome myself^^

Hello there!
I decided to start a blog. Finally! I've never understood this Blog thing so I'm gonna give it a try!
I thought perhaps, it would be great to have a little diary here on blogspot. I really don't know if it's gonna be like a real diary but something like that.
Also, this is a great opportunity for my far away friends to read what my days are like, and what I'm doing while I'm not near them. As you all know, phone calls are really really expensive.
I will submit my love for art here. So I'll update after a while. When I've got started here!
