2013-08-14 Traveling to the Chicon #SGCHI

Okey, yeah. Its not the 14th. I know that. But see, I had this brilliant idea that I would go to the Chicon and not tell ANYONE there. and its been killing me. I´ve seen my friends wonder if they were gonna do Chicon or something else and I just wanted to yell "Do Chicon! I´m gonna be there!"
But I couldnt. Because I´m stubborn. You know, because I´m swedish ;)

Didnt really get any sleep the night before, but Hey! Thats been my life for the past three to four weeks. But I´ll live. I always do. And you can get by on four hours of sleep. You can. I´m living proof.
But I did get about two hours of sleep before I had to get up and get ready.
Dad came to pick me up around 5:15 and drove me to the train. He was gonna wait around just in case something happened. And it did. We were gonna leave Arlanda at 10:20, which meant that I had to be at the airport to check in at 8:20. My train was going to leave at 6:10 and I was gonna be at Arlanda at 7:17. Yeah right. It was delayed. Several times. In the end it was 30 minutes late and I had just about enough time to check in and grab a sandwich before it was time to get on the plane.

And then there was the wonder, wonder 8 hours of sitting on a plane surrounded by strangers. You all know how I love that. Especially in close quarters. But it went fine. Though I must say that there were ALOT of americans on the same flight. I didnt know that many of them visitet sweden. Heck, I didnt know they knew where we were :P

I managed to work some, but mostly I just slept. I did get to see the new G.I.Joe movie. Yeah, not too impresssed. But, I guess there are worse things to watch. Like.. Twilight.

Arrived at the O´Hare with really nice weather and managed to go through security and pick up my luggage relatively quickly. Wobbled around for a while before I remembered what I was supposed to do so I found a information desk where I could borrow a phone to call the hotel and tell them that I needed a shuttle. A free shuttle. I love this country ^^* Free is good.

Got to the hotell, unpack everything, checked facebook to try and snoop out who was definitely coming and then I hit the bathtub. Several times that day. I arrived at the hotel around 3:30 PM and spent the rest of the day watching 2 Broke Girls or just lazying in the tub. Which was awesome. I miss having a bathtub :(

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairy tale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe

Left broken empty in despair
want to breath can't find air
Thought you were sent from up above
But you and me never had love
So much more I have to say
Help me find a way

And I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

Why do you play me like a game?
Always someone else to blame
Careless, helpless little man
Someday you might understand
There's not much more to say
But I hope you find a way

Still I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

And I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

LOS ANGELES TRICON 2011 Thuesday

Dont you just love the smell of chlorine in the morning?


Natten innan jag skulle åka var det inte riktigt någon mening med att gå och lägga sig. Jag fäste ihop Michelle´s present, and just to have something to do, I made him a tac vest. ^^* He´s so cute.. I just hope its possible to see who it is :P Maria could so.. fingers crossed.

Left for the airport at 3 am. Loooong, boring ride as always. kom dit vid fem, precis då dom öppnade incheckningen. Killen i mitt bås gjorde mig uppmärksam på att det tar ca 15 minuter att gå till gaten så jag borde ha det i åtanke. Yeah.. riiight. för jag tänkte gå i 1h 45 m och råshoppa på arlanda -.- 10 minuter senare satt jag vid min gate :P

Första flyget var drygt. hade varit vaken lite drygt 30 timmar och jag fick inte sova. They kept waking me up. >< Antingen var det att kolla och mp3n var på, kolla om ja hade bälte eller servera en torr muffin -.- not funny.

Vi landade ungefär en 15 minuter tidigt i london och jag hade en timme innan min gate skulle stänga. I felt just a wee bit stressed. The second plane was better thought. 10 h and 15 minutes or something.. gah. but atleast I got to sleep. best way to make time fly. Its just that, everytime I oppened my eyes, something had changed infront of me. First time I opened my eyes, there was a glass of juice in front of me. Second time the empty glass was gone. Third time There was a tray of lunch. Fourth time the leftovers where gone. Fifth time there was a new glass of juice and some snack. and then, with four hours left until we landed I gave up on sleeping and started watching movies insted :P Got through the entire Friends with benefits and almost all of the new Smurfs movie. Missed the ending XD Just my luck. but I guess the little blue-thingy´s survive to live another day.

Once I arrived at the hotel they gave me a phone and I was able to talk to Maria and exchange room-numbers. after that i took a shower, we had dinner and I spent a long, long time in the thub (that reeeeeks of chlorine) with a Kelly Armstrong book before I went to sleep.

.. only to wake up at midnight :p
Verkar tämligen omöjligt att finna den svenska versionen av Think of me från Phantom of the opera.
Jag har skivan, men har inte kvar orignal inlägget så jag har fått skriva av texten på egen öra. Så är det bara att hoppas att det stämmer någolunda överens med vad hon sjunger.

Tänk på Mig
Fantomen på Operan

Tänk på mig, tänk på vår kärlek,
när vi sagt farväl.
Och lova mig, lova mig heligt,
spar mig i din själ.

Känner du att i din ensamhet,
du längtar hem från fjärran land,
dela med dig av ditt vemod,
tänk på mig ibland.

Vår kärlek var ej någon av evig vår,
som var vår förnyar sig,
men om den var värd att minnas,
lova tänk på mig.

Tänk på allt som vi har skänt varan
och bry dig ej om allt vi inte hann

Tänk på mig, se hur jag väntar,
tyst och utan krav.
Du ser mig där, se hur jag spanar,
ut mot öde hav.

Jag minns vår kärlek,
och vår lyckas tid.
och tills du kommer hem till mig,
skall det inte gå en dag, då jag ej tänkt på dig.

Är det hon? Kan det va Christine?
Vad hon ändrats, hon är inte mer
den barndomsvän som lekt med mig.
Vi har inte setts på länge, men nog minns jag.

Res din väg men glöm ej all den kärlek
som jag en gång ser i dig
och behåll min bild i minnet
lova tänk på mig

 
Och lite bonus, bara för att!

Pensami
Il Fantasma dell'Opera

Pensami
pensami mentre sei lontano ormai
rammentami
mi penserai prometti proverai
Se vedrai
il vuoto fra di noi
la libertà respirerai
ma se sognerai d'amarmi
mi ritroverai
L'amore cambia come un fiume che
scorre infinito dentro te
ma per quello che c'è stato
fermati con me
Sì, ti vedo in quei ricordi sei
Ad offuscare ancora i mali miei
Pensami
pensami mentre io non dormirò
tu pensami
vorrei scordarti ma non potrò mai
rimpiangerai tutte le cose che
tu non hai fatto insieme a me
ogni ora che vivrò io pensero a te

Forse è lei, forse è lei, Christine
Tempo fa, fu tanto tempo fa
noi due bambini o poco più
nei pensieri miei, con me ci sei da sempre tu

Come noi, un fiore come noi
non sfiorirà dentro di te
ma promettimi che un giorno
penserai a me!



Think of Me
Phantom of the Opera

Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me, you'll try

Then you'll find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you'll ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me

Think of all the things
We've shared and seen
Don't think about the way
Things might have been

Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind

Recall those days, look back on all those times
Think of those things we'll never do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of you

Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo

Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
But I remember her

Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They have their seasons, so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think of me
