Spontaneous Sunday

I and a friend went to church today. We enjoyed our spontaneous fika, without having to spend money. Well, someone paid for us, that was very kind of this person. We played piano, it has been recently tuned. You know that great feeling when a piano (it was a grand piano by the way) is finally tuned after a long wait. Anyway, we went home and I changed shoes then we took a spontaneous walk. We did not know where we were, we just walked and walked and found ourselves surrounded by the very beautiful nature. It was green, green everywhere. I suddenly got the feeling of saying "You shall not pass!" very loud, so I did it. We burst into laughter. I received a text message from my mother that food is soon ready. Food was great, I enjoyed it. A moment later, we had afternoon tea. Mmmm... love tea. Ooops, here comes the teaholic!

We decided to go out for a walk once again. We found a forest we did not know exist. We walked into the woods and found ourselves in the middle of nowhere. We just realized we're lost. All right, what are we gonna do now?! I was trying not to feel worried. It was slowly getting darker. Thank goodness I had my irish flute with me, so I thought I'd play good melodies to calm myself down. Ha ha! "Go home, Sam. All right, just kidding come on now. Hehehe." It's our version of Frodo's line when he abandoned Sam. Oh, poor Sam. At last, we found our way home! RELIEVED? You bet I am!

 

Here I am, playing my irish flute (penny whistle). As I said, I was a little worried when we were lost but the forest was so green and beautiful + the sound of the flute was beautiful that it took my worries away.

All right, now I'll have myself some tea. Good night!

Classical Music Flash Mobs

Oh, how I love flash mobs! Good flash mobs, of course. I would like to post two of my all-time favorite flash mobs. I have seen them many times and I just can't get enough of them! They give me goose bumps everytime. Cannot help the tears either. There are so many things music can do to us! It can evoke emotions and memories. This one is very powerful, I think. Breathtaking, beautiful, amazing!

I very much agree with this comment: "I don't care whether it's a fake flashmob or not. If I was on this train I'd have been smiling from ear to ear for the rest of the day. If you got on this train, heard this and got off unhappy, please dedicate your body to medical science immediately as you are clearly dead and have been for some time"  Very well said, ha ha!

    

This one is amazing too. I am sure most of the people are familiar with this one (I hope). I just love how powerful this is! When all of them started singing, wow. I just . . . there are no words to describe the feeling I get when I listen to this. Thank you for the music, Herr Beethoven! 

"Our results suggest that chills depend very much on our ability to interpret the music," said Oliver Grewe, a biologist and musicologist at the institute. "Music is a recreative activity. Even if it is relaxing to listen to, the listener has to recreate its meaning, the feelings it expresses. It is the listener who gives life to the emotions in music."

 NICE ONE!

I'll raise my glass to you

Citerar en man som skrev detta till mig ikväll.

"Jag uppskattar verkligen din bredd. Ofta har breda människor betecknats som 'untrue', men jag har faktiskt motsatt uppfattning. Det är ju den öppna människan som har ett äkta intresse i musik eller konst eller vad det nu är, medan den ”stängda” människan snöar in på koncepten. Eh... och då resonerar jag att det finns risk för att koncept-människans intresse är ytligt (eftersom det handlar mer om yta/trend än om genuint intresse) och därmed kan man också beteckna den som 'untrue.'
Genremässigt är jag väldigt bred beträffande musiken. Har lyssnat aktivt på musik sedan jag var barn, började samla skivor när jag var 9 år. Man kan väl säga att den som skapar något som berör mig, också har vunnit mitt intresse. Detta oavsett genre. Musiken måste ha SJÄL. Jag kan väl i och för sig lyssna på tekniskt fulländad musik också, även om jag inte uppfattar att den har själ, men bara i något slags studiesyfte då."


Åh... nu kom jag å tänka på en grej. När jag var på en spelning i Stockholm, på Fasching. Gu vad jag diggade musiken så mycket! Eller jag gör ju så varje gång jag är på en bra spelning. Jag kan inte låta bli att bli en aning besatt?! Haha! Jag kunde inte låta bli att dansa eller headbanga ! Och tårarna började falla, rinna ner på kinden . . . man blir ju så emotional när man ser och hör andra spelar musik helhjärtat. Satsar helhjärtat på musiken liksom. Då blir man också motiverad och inspirerad. Gaaah, går inte ens att förklara så bra med ord. Jag känner bara att det är en sådan underbar känsla, som verkligen inte går att jämföra med någonting.

TOO FAT. It says that you're too fat, Mrs. Patmore.

Idag har jag tagit det lugnt. I've been watching a lot of Downton Abbey today. One of my favorite tv shows, though I do not use the tv to watch it, haha! Thomas is so evil that I almost feel like I ...like I... like I like him? Haha. He's really doing good in his role. Anyway, I must say that one of my favorite characters is Sybil. She's a strong, independent woman. She does not care what everyone thinks. She does what she wants and nothing can ever stop her. I can relate to her. Go, Sybil! You have my support! :-D  While watching Downton Abbey, a sudden stomach pain attacked me. I had to go to the loo and stay there forever. FOREVER. Okey, perhaps not forever but it felt like it. It was painful, I despised it and I do not want to be in that situation again. Ha ha! I think I need a cup of tea again, soon. I am, as I said before, a teaholic.

Wednesday

I've been with a friend today. We went to find plates suited for our journey. We couldn't find them in town, so we decided to go to 33:an and buy the plates that we were thinking of buying last time. We did not buy them since we were hoping to find better plates which we obviously did not. Before that, we went to my place to fika. Apple pie and tea. Perfect for this kind of weather - cold, dark, windy. Autumn has come, indeed. Now we're just waiting for the ring. One ring to screw us all. It won't be long now, I hope. I was feeling 1900-ish today, so I wore one of my hats, long dress, coat and leggings. I could see some of the people staring, as if I had done something wrong. The others just seemed glad to see me in this clothing. At least I hope the older ones appreciate it, and not think badly about all the young people in this generation. There's still hope, you know. ;-) You know what? I could not care less, really. I want to dress the way I want to. I do not care if our world today is very modern. No one can tell me to dress in a certain way. No one can tell me to dress like them. I do not want to be in clothes we have today if I am not happy in them. I want to dress in clothes that make me happy.

This house is beautiful. The leaves were so red and lovely. 

Damn onions

Lord of the Rings borde vara olagligt. Jag kan inte låta bli att fälla en tår varje gång. Gosh. Tänk om alla som slutar på jobbet slutar så här. More love to people! 

P.S. Greatest movie score ever written! Musiken i Lord of the Rings är en av de bästa jag hört i alla filmer jag sett i mitt liv.

Hon är 3:55

Gosh, tänkte sova tidigt men titta vad klockan är nu! Jag hittade några roliga youtube-videos och jag kan verkligen inte sluta garva. Förlåt. Min mage gör ganska ont just nu för jag skrattar så mycket. Det var ett tag sedan jag skrattade så här mycket. Jag visste inget om Lil Wayne innan. Jag har aldrig hört talas om den här killen, men på grund av de här videosarna så fick jag reda på vem han var.

Hahaha! Jag trodde han skojade först. Men han var seriös!

Den här var också rolig.  Han sjunger roligt och spelar lite roligt. Det han säger när han pratar är också ganska roligt.
