Blossoming candy

I got home from SVS a bit later than expected and started to discuss with my tiredness if I was still willing to go to the Copenhagen Sakura Festival as I had first intended. In the end I decided to go even though I only made it there to participate in one of the events - the bon odori. But as that was actually the only thing I cared about seeing/being a part of, that was rather all right. It was so fun to dance with my friends!

In order to be able to make it in time for the bon odori I had to get dressed in my yukata + put on make-up in 10 minutes. And I actually made it. I must admit, I was very impressed by my own speed.

Introducing to all my lovely followers: My all-time favourite candy in the whole world. I first received this candy as a present from a Finnish artist about 5 years ago and ever since then I've bought it in the airport 1-2 times a year. You see, the super markets here in Denmark did not stock this amazing liquorish filled chocolate - that is, until now. So I kind of celebrated by eating the whole thing in 4 hours, haha... ha...



Today's outfit. It's actually my mom's dress... I just had to try and wear it, and she doesn't mind!

Btw, sorry for the Liv-spam. SO much me in this post. Awkward feeling much.

I bought a cheapo remote for my camera last week and it arrived today! Happinessssss.

Costumed dragons

This weekend the 4th annual SVScon was held in Jutland. I went over there directly after school Friday and got settled at the con.
(I totally love my friends' The Road to El Dorado cosplaysss! I just had to have a photo with them...)



I talked with a whole lot of my friends and just had a lot of fun!
Oh my gosh, when I saw these How To Train Your Dragon cosplayers I just immediately called Astrid, whom did not attend the con, and told her!! She was sad she wasn't there to see them, but fangirled with me any way.



The convention's location was in the deep outskirts of a pretty average sized town, and there were noooooo places to eat other than the canteen at the con. And that was really expensive. But oh well.



Louise and I participated in a team quiz and we actually WON. We were so surprised at that outcome because our team was up against some really WE-KNOW-EVERYTHING types. We won a gift card for one of the stalls, but because I couldn't really find anything special I liked, I just bought this kitty set for fun. And then everyone had to try it on, ahha!



I cosplayed as Toa from Dragonaut on Saturday. I've wanted to do a sci-fi cosplay for a long while and I'm so glad that I did it. Friday I used my Kim P again. Isn't wig-hair just sexxxxy?



Line and Louise's Tangled cosplays were so brilliant. I just couldn't stop touching Line aka Flynn's vest - the fabric was so soft!



Trollface will haunt you. And so will Nadia and my awesome faces in this last photo.

Sporty baking

Last week the weather was brilliant and sunny almost every day! It was such an incredibly uplifting sensation - all the bitterness of winter took of immediately.



The tree outside my window is in bloom. It's so pretty. It makes me smile when I wake up and look out at all them flowers. It's like they are telling me: "Don't give up, only 2 weeks until the study vacation starts!"



The excellent weather also had me going out in my garden. I lay there on my own or with my mother or friends. Either sleeping or reading some comic book.

But the differences in temperatures outside and inside my school have now made me sick. Once again. I swear, if I'm not fit for fight this Friday (where SVScon starts), I'm going to... to...



In other news - I met up with some of my future Disney Store Copenhagen colleagues this Saturday. We had a movie night and saw some of the movies the majority had not watched or had not watched in a long time. So that was The Princess and the Frog (which was better this time), Bambi (wow, couldn't remember much from that one!) and then Sleeping Beauty.
I bakes those sugar dough cookies! It was fun to bake them, but sort of a failed mission - the shorts were supposed to be much redder.

It was really great getting to know some of them a little. I didn't participate in one Disney Store meeting because I was in Barcelona, so I hadn't met the complete cast. Now I've met some of it. Nice having some faces to put with the names.

You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!

So I went to watch Sucker Punch with Louise this Monday to end the Easter holiday with a proper farewell. We both really wanted to watch it and thought it was a brilliant idea to go watch it together - real girl power!
I hadn't even watched the trailer and didn't know anything about the movie. I only saw in Empire some months back that they blew the movie up in the same manner as they did with Scoot Pilgrim - which was incredible - so I knew I'd like it. Also because Zack Snyder rocks.

And then the movie opens with a "sweet dreams are made of this" intro. And I was hooked on the movie. That's all it took - 3 seconds in order for me to recognize the song.



I loved the character/costume designs! So different from each other but still working really well together.
The best thing was how the girls used both old school and modern weapons - that way we had no way to figure our what time period we were watching. Which was also the case for the whole movie - I still have no idea about the era, but I guess that is sort of the point.



We sat with tense bodies and completely open eyes throughout the movie. And sometimes talked about the make-up or hair styling. It was really amazing! Kind of reminded me of Burlesque at some points.

It was a dizzy-making experience. Kick-ass meets Inception. And the fact that only guys sat in the cinema with us only improved this sentiment.



I also watched Red Riding Hood during the holiday - this time with Line. It wasn't all that bad. I had feared worse. But I won't say it was good either, haha.
The wolf was nicely animated and I actually got caught up in the plot (who's the wolf? That dude! No, her! Or is it him???!) so I guess that gives the movie some points.



But then there was the two-guys DILEMMA thing which reminded me too much of the Twilight "Jacob-Edward"-thing. And I could really tell it was the same director as the first Twilight, haha.
Yes, go burn each other lads.

It started with a blast and ended with a punch

The Easter holiday is finished. When I wake up tomorrow I'll have to go to school. Where did all the days disappear to?
The holiday started with a 9th graders reunion party - which was superb and I had a blast! - and now I've just returned home from watching Sucker Punch (review will be up tomorrow).



I guess some of the days disappeared while the lovely Sascha was here. She came over Friday afternoon and we went to bed ridiculously early after falling asleep to Sleeping Beauty (yes, I know, great joke).
Saturday we went to Tivoli with Louise and her parents.



The park was dolled up for Easter and that was our reason for going. We had a really nice time - probably because the weather was amazing. Sascha and I wore nothing on our legs and/or arms!! IT WAS LIKE SUMMER.



The Easter bunny in a small parade. I find it to be pretty damn cute. But on the other hand the wolf was brilliant. Look at it! Just chilling on top of a hen house.



The parade was so silly - dancing and awful rimes! We all felt bad for the children in those lamb costumes and the adults in those chickens - it must have been bogus in that heat!



When Sascha had moved on to her last stop on her friends list Sunday I got fancy dressed for a classmates' 18th b-day party. It was fun as always!
