THE TALES OF LIVING

Hello darling youtubers,

This is the blog entry I was talking about in my latest video. Below in the comments I'd like you to ask me questions, post subjects or whatever you'd like. This is going to be the blog version of Morning Talk. I know it isn't as fun as videos and Morning Talk. But at the moment it is what I can manage.

Please feel free to write whatever you like in the comments and later on I'll pick out subjects and discuss them as I go along.

We got a new manger over at the event company. Her task is really just to keep track of the employees and make our schedules and things like that. Her main task, though, is to create an environment where we can preform our best (as we always should). She is taking this a bit seriously...
She has already announced that if one would turn up to work late, that a mistake you only make once i. e. you will be dropped.
She has formed a lot of new rules and are taking quite the nazi-like approach to being manger. A lot of the staff as gotten quite bad vibes from her.

I, however think that she will loosen up after a couple of weeks and are just carrying this approach for the first few weeks to demand some mixture of respect and fear from the staff.
Not sure what the outcome will be, but I'll keep you posted on it.

Song of the day: Cake - Take it all away

I guess since this is a brand new shiny blog I should kick it off with an introduction, it might be a bit boring to write, but I think that it'll help you (the readers) to put a lot of my anecdotes into a perspective.

I'm Swedish and live in Gothenburg, which is the second biggest city of Sweden (after the captial, Stockholm). This is the city where I'm born and raised, but it's under consideration if I should soon spread my wings and fly. I'd love to move to London, which is the city that holds a special place in my heart. Sometimes I feel, when waking up in the mornings, like I'm going to suffocate if I'd be forced to speak Swedish. In extension, that I can only fully express myself in English.

In Sweden one goes to school from the age of 6 or 7 until you are 18 or 19 (the age all depeneds on what time of the year you are born). This piles up to twelve years of education, where the last three years are with a certain direction. I went to a social studies programme, which ment I studied social studies, history, (language: Swedish & English for all of the 3 years and Italian and French for the first year as well), religion and philosophy and psychology to mention a few of my subjects. It's a general education that gives you the qualifications to search into almost any university of your pick (in Sweden).

I graduated after my twelve years in school, in June this year (2008). Some kids search for Uni straight away and go on with their studies at Uni the following autumn. I, however, did not feel like pushing myself into a 5 year Uni programme just for the sake of it.
I've chosen to get some work experience first, before heading for futher studies at Uni. Since I imagine that once graduated from Uni, to have previous work experience will give me an advantage when searching for a job.

The last term of school I worked at a record label, but when graduating from school I at the same time stoped working there. But I still miss the music, since I'm the kind of person who needs music to surive my day-to-day life. I have a night club, called London Gossip, which I run together with one of my friends. It keeps me engaged in the music scene, which I really need to be to feel alive.

At the moment I work full time job (8 to 5) at an advertising firm and part time job (5.30 to 9.30) at an event company. Since I'm currently working about 62 hours a week, I'm just spending my spare time with my friends and my boyfriend, just relaxing, hanging out and listening to music. I quite miss the days when I was in school, because I used to be a crazy clubkid and used to go to clubs about 3 times a week. On average I used to go to about 5 live gigs a week. (those where the days).
Now I might go out on Fridays or Saturdays (like normal people) and on average I'll go to about 2 live gigs a week.

As you might can tell music is a very big part of my life and my plans for the future is to get some sort of music management education at Uni and then head into the music industry. I still miss working on a record label like carzy. I miss the artist, the meetings and most of all I miss the demos and freshly printed cds and vinyls. I have a secret crush on demo bands, which create demos which have a lot of thought put into the tunes, lyrics and the appearance of the demo.

That should do for an intro, don't you think?

So, why two blogs? you might be asking yourself. The answer is simple, since I already have a Swedish blog where I pour my heart out, I figured that having an English blogs as well would:
