concert

It's been a busy day today, I'm exhausted. I woke up at 0830, showered, fixed the concert clothes and did some other stuff. Then mom was my angel and drove me to school. Then we rehearsed... and rehearsed... and rehearsed... and then we had a break and were allowed to go and buy something to eat. I, Hannes, Sara, Sandra and Louise went to a pizzeria and bought pizza (YUM!). Then we got back and all the doors were locked so we couldn't get into the assembly hall. Lucky us the weather was rather beautiful. Then the concert with Magnus Rosén and us started and it went great. Like I said, I'm exhausted. I should go to sleep... I'm practically already sleeping... But I'm hungry... and I'm listening to Silverstein... On second thoughts I AM exhausted and I have a concert tomorrow too around 10.00 or 11.00, so, NIGHT PEOPLE!

Paaaaiiin....

My arms hurts... And my legs do too... I've been cycling back and forth from (the music)school all day with my violin on my back (in the violin box of course -.-").
First when I cycled to school, because I have violin lessons during my free hour.
Second when I cycled home from school. No wait, I walked more then half of the way... Hannes was walking and we were going (almost) in the same direction so we walked together.
Third when a friend of mine called me and told me the meeting had started, and I was like "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!" and it turned out I had a meeting to go to and I had totally forgotten about that... Perfeeeeect... so I threw myself on my bicycle and took off (with the violin because I didn't know how much time that meeting would take and I had orchestra later)
Fourth when I realized it was an hour left before the orchestra after the meeting and cycled home again. Then mom offered to drive me to the music school in time for the orchestra and I happily accepted that offer.

So school today was kind of fun, actually, except for the part when I made a complete fool of myself and sang (pretty loud...) when I shouldn't have in choir... I swear I was as red as a tomato... God, that was embarrassing... Anyways, I scared the crap out of Shannon *applause*.
We're doing this concert with the (ex) bassist of Hammerfall Magnus Rosén, so today we rehearsed a lot since the concert(s) is this Thursday and Friday. I'll talk about that some other time, I need to study.
Bye all!

You'll never get to work



I have the slightest feeling that Freja's computer right now is being thrown out from her window... and I got a mail with this picture and I nearly laughed my ass off xD

me and headlines you know, we don't go well together...




For some reason I looked up the violin music sheets for Vittorio Monti's "Csárdás" ( http://open.spotify.com/track/6NuF3YXK07K9dfGzA3Jm10 ) and printed it. I know, it's way out of my lead but I really like that song and it will be fun to have something to work with (for like, the next 20 years).
Anyways, the weather outside is incredibly warm and sunny, and I'm still in front of my computer. But for your information I can tell you that I'm playing the violin like crazy (not right now, right now I'm writing this). I really should practice the songs we play in the symphony orchestra since we're going to Denmark the 5th of May (the day after my birthday), but I don't feel like it. Still, I have to... So maybe I should... I know that fifteen minutes later I will be playing to the music of MCR or Green Day or something like that, it's much more fun to play rock music... However, I should get back to practice so see you guys later :)

I'm a tree hugger... right...

My parents, my cousins' parents and my grandmother are talking about how the wolves are in Sweden and that they are doing wrong all the time and such. I'm the only one of 6 people who are really defending the wolves and fighting for their right. After a while mom told me and the others that "you know what I think? I think Ida is going to be a tree hugger who chains herself to a tree to fight for nature", whereupon all the other laughed while I thought that "well... why not?". But I'm not going to stop fighting for the wolves, live with it.

No idea what to write here...

The weather outside is beautiful, and I'm still inside, in front of my computer. Well that's just great. Okay, don't judge me, I've been making some space on the memorycard to my camera so I can take some new pictures. Actually, that's what I'm going to do now. Maybe I'll paste them here later.
Bye for now

Hello

Hey, my name is Ida-Maria (aka. Idya). Yeah I know, great way to start this blogthingy, isn't it? Anyways, I'm soon-to-be 15 years old - my birthday is may 4th, in eleven days from now. I live in Sweden in a little town called Vänersborg, and I don't have a clue why you need to know that. Music is basically my life, I play the violin, the guitar and a lot other instruments, but guitar and violin are what I can play best. And I sing. I'm in 8th grade, in a musicclass, that means that we work more with music than other classes. When it comes to listening to music I listen to rock/metal/emo/screamo/punk (Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Silverstein and a lot of othe bands), and when it comes to writing music I don't really know what genre you would choose to give my songs, maybe we will find out one day. But anyways, I think that was it.

Bye

Freja, you have to help me with the design and stuff, I don't get it -.-"
