Good & Bad Times

Title: Track5, Listen Like Thieves, 1985, INXS

I'm at school right now and it's very boring here.
We have English right now and we're having
a chance to blog during schooltime so I'll do so.
And if I'm in school, and I'm blogging, why not
write task #5; write a post about my school.

My school is pretty big and there are around
800 pupils here, from classes 1-9A,-B,-C and
three classes called FA, FB and FC (preschool).
It's build some time during the 19th-century,
and it's facade is made of redbrown bricks.
It has four floors and a basement, where the
dining room is. I've been a pupil here since I
started preschool, which was year 1996.

I've been around many things in this school,
both funny and less funnier, but now it's my last
term here because after this summer I'll start
upper secondary school. Which school I don't know.

During my time on this school I've made a lot
of friends around different classes, both younger
and my age. I'll miss some of the people here, and
some nnot. I think this i s a pretty good school,
but I can't really compare it to any other because
I've only been a pupil at this school.

This was some well-known facts about my school, haha...

Wave of Sorrow

Title: Track 22, The Joshua Tree 20th Anniversary, 2007, U2

I havn't been very active here, but I really want
a good grade in English so I'll pull my socks up!
This is task #3; a comment about a newsarticle.


The body which was found in a forest in northen Paris
is now identificated. It was the swedish girl who disappeared
about two days earlier. Different news says nearly the same
about how she got killed, and they all has written that she
didn't been raped. I'll not write more about those things
because only thinking about this at all makes me cry.


Saturday morning, 19th of April 2008
the young woman calls her room-mate and friend
saying that she'll be home soon. She never did.
Instead she got physically abused and stabbed.
Murdered.

I'm totally nonplussed. Don't know what to say or write.
I didn't know her in person, but I know who she was.
This isn't happening, is it? I can't get it. It's terrible.
I'll light a candle for you. You and your family. Tonight.
Rest in Peace

I can't say much more because I don't know what
of this that's really true and what of this that isn't.

Need You Tonight

Title: Track 4, KICK, 1987, INXS


I was looking at videos on youtube, and then I happened to find
this video from Michael Hutchence funeral. I have to share this,
it's not only sad, but very beautiful as well. We miss you, Michael.

The links does not open in new windows.


While watching those videos, heavy tears fell down my cheeks.
Hutch's death means a great loss not only to his family,
friends, bandmates and fans; but also to the music world.

Today's blogging has nothing to with our tasks in school.

What Would You Do?

Title: Track 9, Underneath The Colours, 1981, INXS


First of all I'm going to finish my personal description,
and then I'll do task #2; a comment about a blog I've read.


I'm not very tall, only 160 cm, and I weight about 55 kg.
My eyes are blue, I've got freckles and my hair is blonde.
Right now my hair is nearly white (platina blonde), but I'm
blonde naturally (cendré) as well. I wouldn't call myself
short-haired, but it isn't long either. It's about to my shoulders.
I've got three ear-piercings and I'll get more when I've got
the time and money, in the same occasion. Sometimes I wear
make-up, but that's for sure something I can live without.
When I'm older I want to get a tattoo and a septum-piercing.

If I should describe myself how I'm as person,
I would say a happy, logical and restless individual.
I'm not angry very often, but when I am, just stay away
and let me sulk and mutter in my solitude.
Don't do the mistake trying to talk with me,
because then I may just be disagreeable to you.
I hope you don't take me for something bad now,
and remember; I'm not like that very often!

I don't know how to describe myself more now,
without making people lost their intrest
in the reading (if there even is any?),
so I quit here. This is me, enjoy!



This blogger just made my evening!

I was reading random people's blogs on http://www.blogg.se/,
and I found a girl named Anna who blogs about music.
Just the idea about blogging about different kind
of music is wonderful, and when I found a video
she had posted on the 26th of march
and I heard the characteristic guitar-intro,
a big smile showed up all over my face.

Then Bono started to sing;
One man come, in the name of love...

I watched the video and listened to the song and I thought
"shiet, it has been too long since I last listened to this song".

Everything from me today (tonight)!
Tomorrowi it's time for task #3:

Write a comment about something they
are talking about at/writing in the news.

The First Time

Title: Track 8, Zooropa, 1993, U2


This is a blog which I'm going to write in as a homework.
The first task I have to do is to write a presentation about myself, so here it is:


My name is Johanna. I was born at the 28th of August 1991,
in Stockholm, daughter of Leif and Annika. I've got two
younger siblings, a brother and a sister, named Magnus
and Magdalena. I'm at my last year in Mariaskolan, class 9A.
And yes, that means I've re-taken a year (eight grade).
At the upper secondary school I'll go either the vehicle program
or the electricity program. I haven't decided yet.

I've got a little gray rabbit, which looks more like a hamster,
named Sleaze-Tore, but I just call him Tore.
He's strange in a funny way. He's my first own pet,
and he do a poo-poo a lot... Too much sometimes, haha.

I love playing the guitar and I've got five guitars at home.
I've been playing for about three years now,
and I'm playing in a band too! I listen to very shuffled music,
like everything from Lars Winnerbäck and Nationalteatern
to Metallica and Children of Bodom. But my favorites
has always been (and will always be!) the lovely Irish quartet
U2, and INXS, the most happiness-provoking band ever.


That was all for me this evening!
I'll blog more tomorrow, when I tell you more about myself
and then it's also time for the next task:

A comment about blogs I've read
