hi!

oh good. Now all i have to remember is my camera.

Cool... i don't imagine they need sleeping pills... they must be exhausted!

ooooh i know! I'd be "the wee Scottish girl"... or however you say that in Norwegian.

Hi!

Indeed you will... We'll have to send the piccies to each other, so we all get to see 'em...

Well, on the DVD I've got, the band has made an audio commentary, and Mike Portnoy (the drummer) says that he just had to go and throw up right after the performance, out of pure exhaustion. The other band members are surprised by that piece of information, because they were too tired to even notice that he was sick...

"Hu derre lille skotske jenta..." That was slang, though. "Den lille skotske jenta" is prolly more correct... I'm sure it would be "the cool scottish girl", though.

Øyvind

hi!

yep will do! I got my Primal Scream and Easyworld photos back today. The Primal Scream ones aren't too clear(it was difficult to keep the camera straight because of all the jumping about) but the EW ones are great!

gosh! i hope they ain't heading for burnout?! Did Geir enjoy the gig too then?

Awwww! "Hu derre lille skotske jenta"!

Hi!

Sounds good. Still only band pictures, though?

They'll manage... He loved it. He's a huge DT fan. It must've been an allmost religious experience for him...



Øyvind

Five days...

yeah still only band pics... they're great band pics though! still at least we'll be a surprise for you!... that came out wrong!.... we won't be a total surprise.

aaaah that's nice.

and counting...

Hiya!

Well, you will be somewhat of a surprise, anyway. Nothing wrong with some good band pics either...

Indeed...

Øyvind

Wee... my stomach is squirming with excitement.

hi!

Indeed! ah i put my band pics up last night... and some of my tickets too except i discovered i've lost quite a few.

och im all a frazzle... going into glasgow in about 20 minutes for a CD, a DVD and a music book. Then im coming home to do my homework... oh what a fabulous day!lol plus im trying to figure out how to get to a particular library in glasgow for tuesday... the whole french class is meeting there to do research on our personal folios... you have to pick a French topic of course... mine is "The Dreyfus Affair"... yep im talking rubbish again...

i'll be back online in a few hours with any luck... i'll speak then...

Hi!

Well, the text are worn out on some of mine. I'm going to put up my DT ticket, and then I'll prolly put my airplane ticket to Glasgow up too...

I've got new CDs after last night, I've gotten about fifteen all in all between Christmas and my Birthday... And there are more coming... ahhh.. I'll have to write yet another science report... oh, the horror. And I think I've lost my notes. Plus I had better practice, since we've got drumming tomorrow... I can see that I don't really have time to sit here... Oh well, who cares?

Right, ta, then!

Øyvind

hi!

aaaah cool... 15 CD's?! Gosh! Well i got the EW single today... i realised last night that today was the last chance to make a difference to their chart position... i luv em so i bought the single even although i think it's a mediocre effort for them.

rightums... oh yea my mum was sitting here last time i was typing so i was distracted... she was trying to show me the location of the library on a map but she was doing my head in! sounds terrible but it's true!

oh and before you leave Norway for Scotland we should make any last arrangements because once you get here there's no way for us to contact each other is there?

How's Kristian these days?

Hi!

Yup, 15, or something like that, plus a single... Ahhh... cool. think it's a good effort.

Hehe... I know exactly what you mean. It's happened a couple of times to me too... Like now, when two people are talking to me over MSN, while I'm franticall trying to write something here...

Not unless you'd like to send me your phone number, I suppose. Right, so, where to meet, then? We should perhaps do this by mail... just to be safe...

He's fine, methinks. He was at the party yesterday. I think he enjoyed himself... More than I did... anyway.

Øyvind

hi!

god that's great anyway. Im goin shoppin tomorrow... hope to pick up "Velvet Goldmine" for less than £10. I should be so lucky! The music shops are a rip-off for the most part.

yep i could do that... i don't have a mobile phone unfortunately(something which makes most people my age think im weird)

Claire

hi again!

i meant to ask: you didn't enjoy the party? How come? Or have i got you the wrong way?

i also meant to say that it's no problem me giving you my home number if it helps us.

Claire

Hi!

Yup, It really is. I've got a load of music to listen to in the days to come... Yeah, it's true, they are. I've found a couple of low-price ones, where you can actually find some pretty rare CDs too... Also, if you get into classical music, there's Naxos, who sell all their CDs dead cheap...

No cellphone? Ah, not at all, I understand perfectly. I didn't even want one until Joff gave me one for Christmas...

Well, 'twas allright, but it was a wee bit of both for me. Since I threw a combined birthday, "she" was there too. She got rather nasty with me last night, not intentionally, but still... I wish I could tell her to stop, and give her a reason to... only I can't without revealing how I feel about her...

Well, we could try... How would your parents react if they were to pick up the phone and hear me talking, though?

Øyvind

hi!

i told Katie tonight about the mobile phone thing... i wasn't sure if you had one but now i know she says we could give you her number. I can give you my home number too. Well for a start it would just be my mum... secondly it's a cordless phone so if i knew you were gonna phone i'd keep it in my room. Did you mean what if she picks up another phoneline whilst im on the phone? Well we only have one phone line so that's sorted too.

ah i wondered if that had something to do with it... well i pretty much knew... hmmmmm i don't know what to say(do i ever?! except hopefully we can take your mind off it... well not totally i suppose... but we will have lots of fun at this gig i just know it!

Claire

Hi!

Naw, I meant how she would react to hearing a foreign accent requesting to talk to Claire... Well, that's brave of Katie... I'll send you my number when I get home, then...

True... I should just stop wallowing in my own self-pity... I know it's not easy to say anything, and I don't know if there's anything you could say anyway... Anyway... I'm still looking forward to the gig... even more nowadays...

3 days...

Øyvind

hi!

this is again a short posting just like the last thread... i'll send you the numbers via e-mail tonight...

Claire

Øyvind

Claire

Hiya!

Oh, did you sleep well, then?

Ah... yes, I hope it is as good as I think it is... It's ideally situated, methinks...

Oh, but where to meet...?

And when...

Øyvind

hi!

well i'll speak to Katie tomorrow. When you leaving Norway? Can we meet at the venue? thing is we have college on Thursday... i have half day but Kate has a full day and since her dad is taking us to the to the venue we should arrive together! is it okay if we meet at the vnue at about 7.30?
