Was at the LARP yesterday and had a wonderful time! :-D
My friend A who plays Frida Wagners owner/master Isabella Guthermark has returned from a month long trip to Africa where she did volunteer work in Zimbabwe. Apparently she'd had a very good and interesting time. It was clear she had grown... even more. So young and so smart and so caring and just... damn, I am so proud of knowing her. :-) A wonderful young woman over all. She'll go far, I know it. After she came home, her parents took her on a family trip to, since I guess they'd missed her, so she was gone from three LARPs. Meaning I hadn't seen her for 1 ½ month. It was WONDERFUL to meet her again! :-D We talked a lot, both LARP-stuff and life-stuff. :-) She was extactic about the fact there'll be a Nerd Jr. She found out on her trip and had apparently squeeled when she'd read it on the net. I am very happy for her too, since she has gotten back together with her boyfriend. They are both very young, but if there ever was a couple destined... well, it is those two. I hope they'll work it out. So much love going on there, it really is. :-)
LARP-wise we talked about any possible trouble my character might have gotten up to... that could put her character in trouble to. See, playing a ghoul / a servent to a vampire can be quite fun. Especially when A's character Isabella asks "have you done anything bad while I've been gone?" and Frida (with a very innocent looking face) just says "I have only done anything in my power to make sure you get what you need and want...." Now... You can interpret that. Very much. I do have some seriously wicked plans going on that NO ONE knows about! Only the GM's... A just made a face at my answer since she has started to know me quite well... "Oh yeah... I am sure you've been a very very good servant..." dripping with sarcasm... *lol* He he he... Fun times is definitely had!
Being at the LARP though made sure I missed the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest. I did follow the goings on via Twitter (thank you to those I follow there to!).
And man... Was I disappointed! :-P You might think I am pleased seeing Sweden win, since you know... I am swedish. But I am not. So, so not... This year seriously sucked. I gotta say, the music in this so called competition is... really not very good. I mean, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peting73 says: "There's some really really good music made in Europe... Really really good. Then why the FUCK do the worst end up in Eurovision??!!??" I can only agree with him. :-P
There were some surprises though! :-) Like the little old grannies from Russia! OMG! They were so cute, i just wanted to hug them! X-D
And they ended up on second place! :-D GO GRANNIES! Apparently they were between 40 and 80 years old, or so the rumor says... o.O How cools that! Especially that none of them had heart-failure during the competition... *grin*
peting73 who is a rabid Eurovision hater also thought the Russian Grannies were kinda cool, but his favorite was our neighbor actually... Norway.
And yeah, it is pretty good. :-) Definitely among the better ones. I mean, wth with all the ballads? :-P
My favorite that I thought should have won was Hungary's song. It was really really good and I thought it stood out not being a classical eurovision song. That alone gives it extra points in book. Sadly though it almost ended up last. :-/ Very disappointed in that.
So no winning for them. Dammit. And it did remind me of music I've heard before, even if I can't place it. :-P
But, alas... Sweden's song won. Euphoria.
And yeah, OK. I admit. It does stick out a bit to, and I like the fact Loreen didn't do what all the other girls did who sang: that is showing off their ass and tits and ran around in high heels. And she most likely had one of the nicest dancers with her. But the song? No. I did not like it.
Now I have to listen to it all summer, most likely... All over the place... Radio, TV, bars, nightclubs, outdoor coffee-shops... while shopping... Dammit, dammit...
