Valborg/Walpurgis' night

Been back from the celebrations for a while now, still don't feel much better than when I was there. I haven't drunk one drop of alcohol and I'm proud of that. It's just that... things happened that I wished didn't, or at least that I didn't have to see them happen. It was hurtful and I'm confused about what to do.

We started out with a champagne breakfast, where you drink champagne (or something else) and eat food/snacks etc. After four hours of just sitting we went to the biggest (I think) library we have in town to run down the hill like the little silly students we all are, no matter what age. Even though I didn't run, as I'm still recovering from an infection, it looked pretty funny with people trying to run when most others just didn't.

After this we ended up at one of the student nations (something all students of the university needs to be a part of) and pretty much everyone drank even more. They each got at least one bottle of champagne each and were spraying it, drinking it, spilling it, getting it up people's noses... you name it. It probably happened.

With all the people around drinking like mad, I kinda panicked and asked the head if I could use the piano, since playing calms me down. But unfortunately they had already rigged the room for the party later that night so I could get no where near the piano. If I had been able to play it would've been golden, as I not much later broke down and cried. This is why I really try to hold on to my friendships and keep them dear to me as one of my friends reminded me of how proud I should be of myself to have got this far. To have friends that can pick you up when you're feeling down, is amazing. I really treasure this friendship I have with this girl, she really is someone who is there for you when you really need it. Friendships like that are hard to find, and if you have one, make sure to keep it. It will make you go a long way.

"Angels, what are they? It could be a transparent figure with wings, or just someone transparent. Maybe there's an angel standing right in front of you, you just don't know it. Whatever they are I believe there is always someone watching over me. Werther it's an angel or just a human beeing, could be an animal too. Who knows? Maybe it's you."

That was an excerpt from a poem I wrote when I was fourteen/fifteen years old, spelling errors aside I think it has a point, even now, six years later.

I don't know where I'm going with this to be honest, just writing as I go along. As usual. No real structure, just a text. Actually, it's been a long time since I just wrote like this. Years. I guess the events of the day got the cup to overflow...

Well, I won't take up any more of your time. You take care and I hope to see you soon again.

"Sometimes it can seem so hard,

You fall down so many times,

Some days you don't want to get up,

You hurt inside and think that no one cares,

But friends are always there."

Tomorrow is a big day in Uppsala. We call it Valborg, or Walpurgis night I believe it is called in English. It's originally a day where we celebrate the arrival of spring, but now-a-days it's mostly an excuse for people to get smashed. Lucky for me, I don't drink so I won't have to think about the possibility to end up in the drunken cell at the police station. Hehe.

Well, this thing is just some pretty rub-on and a photo. Really easy, but I liked the picture of the bird that I took so this was the outcome. 

I wanted to do something that had something with people in it, and then this mailman was passing by, so I took the opportunity to take his picture. He was just doing what he does everyday, so I thought the phrase Everyday Life, suited it perfectly. Hope you like it.

Well, since the upload pictures takes a long time, I'll be cutting it short here. Hope you are all right, and be back! ^^

I don't know about you, but I've had a long day today. Started off by going to the doctor's and her saying I need to get a new pair of expensive glasses, so that bummed me out. Not even shopping made me feel better!

Not that I usually like shopping but anyway ^^. I told you yesterday I'd upload more of the things I've already made, and here I am keeping that little promise. Yay me! :P

Hmm... don't really know what to say about this one... had

 some scraps from the card I ma

de my dad for his birthday so I made this thing

. Didn't want to toss something I could use :D. The ribbon I got from a sewing shop and the heart and butterfly are like little stickers... Yeah, haven't got the terms yet for these kinds of things so I hope you understand what I mean. If not, just ask ^^. 

This next one I made from a thicker kind of blue paper, the same kind of ribbon like the last one and a screen-shot from World of Warcraft. (Yes, I play too. As well as Sam, that's actually where we "met") I just thought that the skies in Outlands (a part o

f the game where you can go when you've reached a certa

in level) are so beautiful, so I made this. Really simple, some glue and a pen ^^.

Oh, this one's from my creative streak during Easter times. Sorry about the blurry image, I couldn't get a good angle when taking this shot. The writing says Happy Easter in Swedish, incase you were wondering ;). Again I used a thicker kind of paper and a sticker flower. Some feathers and some paint and voila! This emerged.

I like this little Easter card better than the other, simply because I used four different coloured feathers. The sticker you see in the corner is of a tulip and the sticker flower. I'm kinda crazy about these flowers I realised now... oops?

This is the same thing, I just got it to stand up a little better. Oh, and incase you're wondering, it's my computer its standing on :D. So that's the reason the wires are there. 

I'm going to have to cut it here for tonight. I'm really tired and I need to get up tomorrow morning. But I hope to see you back here again and that you enjoy the cards (at least so far, hehe).

My first blog. Who would've thought? Anyway... I've been following The Crafting Garden for a few months, and after a while I wanted to make my own cards. So I started doing this aswell as scrapbooking.  ^^

Sam, a very close friend of mine, thought I should start a blog on my own so here I am... having no clue what to write about.

So this is my first entry. The sketch is something a Dutch friend of mine sent me. I decided to print it and make this card.  I'm quite pleased with this card myself, to be honest.

This isn't the first card I made however. The next few entries will probably show you what I've done so far. I had a bit of a creative streak while studying for my last exam. My mother kept saying "You are always more creative when studying for an exam". How exactly I should interpret that, I haven't decided yet.

Well, since I've been trying to add another picture of something else for the last five minutes without luck I'm going to end it here for tonight.
