006: Hjálp mig!

Alright, this is gonna be an interesting project for myself and will take quite a while if I don't give up on it.

I'm going to be looking for 10 bands (the final result will have five songs each, which means 50 songs...) from each major country that produces music that is available almost anywhere, but sound good at the same time. [...If their band name is in their native language, makes it even better!]

The bands MUST sing in their own native tongue, otherwise it'll just be easy.

I'm sure it'll be good to start off with one country at a time, but lets have a look around the globe. I have some bands already, and would appreciate any help from anyone.

Korea:
1. 투애니원
2. 소녀시대

Russia:
1. Тату
2. Ничья

Iceland:
1. Sigur Rós
2. Björk

Greenland:
1. Kishima
2. Piitsukkut

Norway:
1. Gåte

Farose Islands:
1. Týr
2. Eivør Pálsdóttir

Germany:
1. In Extremo
2. Revolverheld
3. Rammstein

First Nations/Aboriginal acts:
1. Yothu Yindi
2. Walela
3. George Rrurrambu
4. Susan Algukark

Mexico:
1. Paulina Rubio
2.

Greece:
1. Despinda Vandi

Romania:
1. O-Zone

Italy:
1. Eiffel 65

Polish:
1. Myslovitz

Japan:
1. The Gazette
2. Dir en grey

ANY ideas, please let me know! I'm looking for new inspirations for music too. :) Takk!

005: Hello New-Age Phil.

I'm turning 22 in 24 minutes, and it doesn't really seem to seize me. It's more or less another day with the exception of Dan coming over and cooking dinner and calling me whilst on his lunch break. I'm slightly scared of the phonecalls that will arise from the morning, from all the random strangers... If my phone's able to withstand being run over, I wonder about being thrown against the wall? Nah.. I'm not that mean. ^^;

I'm sick of work, to the extent that I just don't want to do anything anymore. Lena, Jon and myself sat around for a full eight hours yesterday and only served the customers. I had a tie on, I wasn't wearing an apron, my tattoos were showing, yet no-one cared. It's amazing how Starbucks policies are forced to reduce any form of self-expression. No piercings are understandable, because if not screwed in properly, they could fall into the coffee, or just about anywhere.

I may attempt at baking my first pie tomorrow night, with Dan. I have a ton of Granny Smith apples that are just there. There not bad or anything, but I got them for lunches, and they're sour as hell. [Here, I thought that GS apples were able to be eaten as regular apples.. The last time I tried one was in Tasmania. They were cheap, so why not?!]

Oh god, two minutes. I should find a song to play to celebrate! LOLLIPOP! :D

...And I'm 22. I don't feel anymore different than I did before, just giggly. I'm surprised mum hasn't called me up wishing me a happy birthday. *shrugs*

I'm not going to post anything major at the moment. I'm tired, as always and want to sleep.

Did you wanna do something for my birthday and maybe a few friends? My friend just opened up the forum "Same Blood". The link is: http://same-blood.proboards.com/
The reason for the boards is even though there's not that many active members, it's about realizing how a person is in a small town enviromnent, and living in that place myself, it can be difficult. Register, sign on and give a few posts, see if you like it. It's starting out, but I have faith in it. *nods*
The most regular members are some of my good friends. :)

Anyway, have a good one, I'm hoping to get together with Josh tomorrow for coffee, it should be great. ^_^

You know what a real good feeling is? Your fiancé and you having mutual friends that you really don't have to worry being around. I felt the safest around the people I had invited to my birthday on Saturday, for the first time in a long time. It was real nice.

Goða nott, send some love! <3

004; Hvað?

I splurged. I bought myself a new computer, and damn proud of it too. Means I also get to try out the new Windows 7 that's coming out also. It's small and it's black, and I think I may keep this computer for a small while until I decide to get a portable hard drive to put everything in.

I'm getting myself a freezer this paycheque coming up, not to brag. I' probably won't be getting too much food into it for another two paycheques when I can afford it, but it will save me a lot of hassle shopping, especially during the winter when I know that Dan doesn't like to do long distance traveling with the car. If you could, wouldn't mind some quick and easy healthy choices, so that means I'm not relying on hamburgers or chips all the time... And I'm getting sick of sweet things ;)

I'm actually quite happy at the moment. I managed to send out a few resumes, and I just received one of the best haircuts in Calgary for $17. I had $25 in cash, I just gave it all to him. It's good to be kind, especially ones that get your jokes and understand your accent without having to turn off the buzzer. I know where I'm going to now, and it's just a block away from my apartment! How convieinent ^^

The lucky places that had received my resume are mainly on 17th ave... Moxies, Shoppers, Café beano, Café kawa, Caffè Artigiano and last off, London Drugs. Only a matter of time now!

Sarah and I had a huge debate via text messenging today. Asked me to save her from her family... I mentioned "Awe, Muffin.", got the responce "Cupcake." and kept going on for an hour with different pasteries... I won with 'custard tart' >>;

You won't believe how many stares you get when lollipop goes off, on a crowded train, nonetheless. ^^;

I'll report back after. When I can actually think of more to say. ^^;

003; A whiter shade of pale.

Jessie must be pissed at me. I do apologize that I haven't been able to get her phone in over a week, but I simply cannot get there with my work schedule and how I've been feeling... And Dan's annoying also sometimes, because he's going "Can't we get it another night?" My boss is scheduling me for the most random days too, with me finishing at 20:30, and then starting the next morning at 05:30. What. The. Fuck? She should learn how to properly schedule. Which means two weeks of opens, two weeks of closes and two weeks of mid-shifts. That's how it should go, and we should switch it around, expect Lena, 'cause of school.

Was thinking about getting a new job sometime, but I have to get a resume in first. I'm mainly concerned about the stability and how long I've been at a job before getting anything else. Starbucks may not be fantastic, but it does pay the little bills that I do have, thankfully I'm low maintenance and have little things to worry about. I need to get more food soon though. I have some holiday pay that I'm planning on using up sometime soon, with the impact of being by myself for a few days, and hopefully it'll be some time to get together with some friends that I've been trying to get with, but have been way too busy for, and I do apologize.

Why do I have a feeling that living alone is the thing that I'm becoming depressed by?
