| I miss Disneysites!! |

Today at work I found myself looking back on my Internet-history and longing to go back a few years and re-experience everything. The past 3-4 years I've often surfed the Internet and suddenly realized that I don't know what to do next and that I'm bored. That never used to be a problem, I never grew bored before, but I haven't had an answer to why that is until today.
I don't visit message boards/forums anymore.
And it hit my how much I miss it. The first real forums I joined was Disneysites!! (which must have been somewhere in 2001-2002) and it was such a wonderful feeling to find other people who had the same interest and passion in animated movies. When I joined I was about 12 or 13 years old, a time in my life when it wasn't really accepted to like Disney movies anymore, since they were "for kids". Thanks to the wonderful community at Disneysites, I realized that Disney was for everyone, no matter age. I made some really great friends there and spent virtually all of my free time on that site. Not only was I able to discuss all aspects of the movies I love; I learned so much more. One of the major things being my English skills. I remember the last few times when I visited Disneysites that I looked back at some of the first posts I made and cringed slightly because of the bad grammar/poor English in general. But despite that, no one ever made any remarks on my spelling; I was fully accepted from the beginning. Another major plus of the site was that there weren't just americans there, the members came from countries from all over the world resulting in great discussions about dubs and how different the translations sometimes were from the originals.
Through Disneysites I learned how to use PSP7 and edit my own graphics. I remember when the first so-called "PSP-avatars" showed up and I was in awe of how great they looked. I experimented a bit and learned how to make quite nifty avatars. This in turn prompted me to do a homepage where I put up all the avatars I made, and through this I learned basic HTML. Granted, my homepage was quite ugly from a design point-of-view, but just being able to do the page, with the hyperlinks and all was quite enough for me. One of the major highlights of my years at Disneysites was probably when the idea of the Animated Couples-website came up. I love the Animated Heroines-site and was happy to join the new project. The first few pages I did weren't that splendid, but I went back and remade them a year or so later and they actually turned out pretty good.
A lot of the people at Disneysites were also members on livejournal and when it was possible for everyone to make an account I jumped on the wagon. Although I mainly did it to see what the fuzz was about, it grew on me. Most of my posts were really trivial, but when I was really active here I made quite a few design for my page and even entered (and completed) a 100 icon challenge from Aristocats. During that process my PSP skills advanced even more and I even learned how to make animated icons.
At some point during my time at Disneysites I came across the PlanetZot forums. The site had been along for a year or so, but the forums were only a few months old and had very few members. The forums was dedicated to all kinds of animation, which I felt I had been missing at Disneysites, so I joined. The forums grew very very quickly and implemented a lot of cool features I hadn't seen before, like dynamic avatars with a shopping district where you could buy clothes for it and you got virtual money for every post you made. Roughly 3 months after joining I was asked if I wanted to become a moderator and I accepted. From that point on I started to spend more time on Zot than on Disneysites until I came to the point where I knew the Zot community a lot better than the one at Disneysites. From there on my visits to Disneysites became sporadic and Zot took up a lot of my time.
But for some reason that also changed.
Now I believe that it was the popularity of Facebook, Youtube and Wikipedia that slowly but surely drew my attention away. I started to visit Zot merely because I was a moderator (and because it had grown so big that the animation wasn't the focus of the discussions anymore) and then I no longer visited every day. Around the same time I gradually stopped blogging here (even though I had a Swedish blog for a while) and after some time Facebook took all attention.
The admin at PlanetZot didn't like where her forums were going either and after a year of it being her duty rather than something she did for her own enjoyment, she closed them down. Left today are only the animation discussion boards, but nothing of the community remains. After this decision I typed in disneysites.com in the search field for the first time in probably 2 years, only to find that the forums had been closed down there as well. I tried looking for forums about disney or animation in general on google but could only find message boards for the Disney parks.
This was almost a year ago. And today it really hit me how much I miss being a part of a community like that. I know some of the members from Disneysites created their own forums and I joined, but the activity there seems to be pretty low. So maybe this is just the way the internet is evolving: social media like Facebook and Twitter take up so much time that message boards and forums die out. I do spend a lot of time on Facebook, and I'm having a real good time while I'm doing it, but it's missing the heart and soul that was Disneysites and PlanetZot (during the times I visited the boards). Forums taught me so many valuable things and probably have a lot more to teach me. I just hope that I didn't come to this realization too late. |

God, how long hasn't it been since I last updated this page? Haven't had the time, or rather, haven't taken the time to update it. I don't really know what to write about, because I doubt anyone would be reading this now anyway, seeing as I haven't written anything in such a long while. :) I'm currently attending the 2nd (and last) year at Kulturama's musical theatre line and I'm really starting to feel like I actually could be a professional actress. Last year that dream seemed so distant, but now I can actually see the whole road ahead and how it could turn out, which is really exciting. :) I'm off to London in a week to audition for the BA (Hons) in Musical Theatre at Mountview, and I'm getting nervous about it. Or no, not really nervous, but thoughts about what I will do next year if I don't get accepted there or to another school in England or Sweden. I'm confident about my songs and monologues though; right now it feels like the only thing that could stop me is the dance-audition, since it's impossible to prepare for that, but I'll just have to fake it if I don't get when I'm there. It looks like I might be getting one of my classmates with me as well; he's not auditioning at the same time as me, but he's going to send his application in soon and go on audition in the spring. So now there are even more reasons to ttry to get accepted, because my entire class has grown so close during these 1½ years (especially this year since we went from 21 to 11 students) and I can't even bear to think about how much we'll cry in June when it'll all be over. Of course we'll have re-unions and such, but we won't see eachother every day like we're used to now.
The strange thing is that we spend all the hours of the day together and at least one evening every weekend together and we haven't gotten sick of eachother yet, which is quite amazing. Just proves what a special group of people we are and our friendship. The past three weeks have been even more strange; we decided to do a show and because of that we've stayed behind almost every day to rehearse or make props, and yesterday it took place, so today everyone was sure that we had missed something when we realised that we could go home at 2 PM. XD
So, small update on my life as it is right now, will come back in about a week and let you know how the Mountview-audition went :) |

The Olympics are back and turns me into a sports-crazy person who would even sit down to watch rowing if there's a Swede in it, a sport which I (and the rest of the country) wouldn't care about at all at any other time during the four years between each Olympics. Right now I'm hoping that my sister has Eurosport so that I'll be able to watch the Synchronized Swimming competition when it starts the 18th. I'm moving to Stockholm on Saturday and therefore I can't watch it at home. Last time SVT didn't show the Synchronized Swimming at all and this time they're showing it on a special channel which I know my sister doesn't have. Speaking of which I have to share this clip with what I consider the bets idea behind a team-musicprogramme from Synchronized Swimming ever.
It's the Canadian team's free programme from the Sydney Olympics 2000, where they had made a programme depicting other sports from archery to tae-kwon-do to running. My favorite lift of all time is in this clip as well, at 4:55 when they depict cycling :) While the Canadian team isn't as technically perfect or artistically extravagant like the US, Russian or Chinese teams, this is creativity at its best :D

Ha, I was browsing Tradera (it's like a Swedish Ebay) after movie posters and found some really good authentic posters of 101 Dalmatians, Aristocats, The Rescuers and Charlotte's Web from the 70s/60s and realised that the seller lived just a few kilometers away from me. All the posters were up for only 29 kr which is nothing, but it would cost another 50 kr to send it by mail so I sent him an email and asked if I could come to Sunnansjö and pick them up if I won the auctions. And then he replies saying I could pick them up at Vinylshopen here in Ludvika, a place I've been to to look for LP's and where mom has bought me christmas and birthday gifts. I did suspect that he was a collector of movie posters after looking at the walls in Vinylshopen, but apparently he sells some posters there as well. So if I win the posters I've bidded on I'll definately go there and look for other posters as well :))) |

I was in mood for watching Criminal Minds and automatically made a cup of strawberry-tea without thinking much about it. The thing is, when I got really hooked on Criminal Minds in November/December lst year I had cold and drank a lot of tea to try to get rid of it. I normally don't drink tea and a lot of that tea was strawberry-tea, and I believe I have forever connected that show with strawberry-tea. Not only that, but the reason I wanted to watch CM is because my friend from school, Lisa, popped in on msn and we both share a passion for that show (Dr. Reid in particular) and the fact hat it was quite dark outside this night, which reminded me of how dark it is in the winter (and of course, how dark it was when I rewatched all the CM-episodes because I had seen them all).
Then I started thinking about how I connect certain things with other shows, when I got really hooked on Dr Quinn whn Tv4Gold started airing it it was in the fall at around 5.30 pm when it started to get dark and was dark, so now when I watch it when it's on at 1 pm it feels wrong. Another good example is Star Trek Enterprise which aired in Sweden every Monday and Tuesday at 6.15 pm during the summers. Because of that every summer since during the afternoon I get extreme Star Trek feelings and immediately think about the show for the rest of the day (that is, when I don't sit down and watch it). I also connect TNG with winter because it was this winter that I started watching it, and Sundays will forever be connected with Star Trek Voyager. Another summer-show for me is V, which Kanal5 decided to air during the summer which also makesit weird to see during the winter.
Is it like this for anyone else, that you connect certain things or seasons with a series in particular? |

They called from work today and said that they needed people the next week and the week after that, so I said I could be there. Will give me more money for the upcoming year, but at the same time it means I'll pass the 17400 kr threshold and will have to pay taxes =/ So at some point next week I'll have to sit down and sort through my papers to see how much I have actually earned this year so far and how much I'll probably earn at the end of the year so that I can send some papers in so that I won't have to pay 33% of my income to taxes. I did sit down today and filled in most of the fields for the "lodging-application" I'm sending in so that I'll have at least some money every month to use X_x Because of our weird system that doesn't allow me to get full studies loan because I haven't turned 20 (which I would've gotten if I read a course at a university, go figure) I'll have to find some way to get more money, and you can get up to 2000 kr extra every month if the school you're studying at is more than 2 hours away from your familyhome. And since Stockholm is 3 hours away, it shoudl work out fine, thankfully I'm living with my sister, I never would've been able to afford my own apartment.
I also just checked up SL:s homepage (who're in charge of the fares for travelling by subway and buses in Stockholm) and I'll be able to buy the 30 day-period cards at a reduced price since I'm not 20. That in itself means 270 more kr every month, which I'm really happy about.
Other than that it's been an eventful day, first a quick fika with Astri, Erika and Karin before a short trip on the town (where I boguht a new purse only to come home and realise that mom had bought one a few months back that she can't use, shouldn't be any problems returning mine though) and then Astri, I and Karin went for a game of minigolf (which I lost btw). After that I went home to Sanna's where we talked a bit about how my future looks like and what we'll do tomorrow; we decided on making tacopie and watch Don Bluth. Other than that I'll probably look through my workpapers again to see if I can figure out some number to put on the applicationforms. |

mood: calm
|
I've been at my grandmother's place and Torpet in Norrland these past two weeks and it felt so good. I never got to go there last summer since I was in England for three weeks, and I had completely forgotten how calm and refreshing it is up there. The minutes and hours just go by unnoticed and not once have I felt stressed or that we had to do something. Not that I usually feel stressed or that there's somethign that I have to do, but just waking up knowing that there isn't much to do where I am and I've got a whole day ahead of me just doing nothing is nothing but bliss.
It's also started to sunk in that I'm actually going to do Musical Theatre fulltime from August 25th. I haven't really thought much about it, the thoguhts about the school and such have been more about the people I'm going to meet and how much drama the other people will have done in comparison to me who have done none (not counting the last term's drama, which just included different excersises and no real theatre-drama). Now I've started to think about what kind of classes I'll do and what it'll mean in the future. I'm so glad that I can live with my sister, especially since I can't get a full student's loan and will have to live with just under 3000 SEK/month. I do have quite a lot of money saved at my bank though, so I'll manage. I would've loved to be able to buy a computer though, but I'll buy a harddrive and use my sister's computer.
And this summer doesn't actually feel like the last summerbreak before it's time to g out into the real world, in fact it feels more like the summer of 2004 or 2005 when Sanna and I spent all our days swimming and sleeping over at eachother's houses watching Disney-movies. It feels like this depsite the fact that I have only seen Sanna once this summer since I've been working and she's been up to other things. We did decide to have one day this week when we'd watch Don Bluth movies, so everything is more or less back to normal again... |

First of all congrats to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) murmeldjur! I hope you have a great day!
Since last time I've been to 3 auditions for different musical thatre schools and I was accepted to all of them X_x Or well, in Bjärnum there were two different courses, one just called "Musical Theatre School" which is a one-year course to get into universities for musical thatre and such and one called "General Show and Musical Course" which is 80% musical thatre and 20 % other subjects. The latter I was accepted to, the former not. I also got into Ölands musikteaterskola on Öland (an island just off the coast near Kalmar) and Kulturama in Stockholm. After much consideration I chose Kulturama, which means I'll live in Stockholm for at least a year :) The course is two years long, but you only sign on for one year at a time; this is because the first year is primarily for studies so that you can go into higher education in Musical Theatre whereas the second year is more work-oriented. I'm going to live with my sister under that year, which is good since Kulturama means I can't get CSN (studies-loan) and therefore wouldn't have been able to afford an apartment alone. So, I'll be doing what I love for a year and I get to live with my sister :D
At the moment I'm doing my summerjob after I graduated on the 5th. When I have downloaded the pics from our prom and graduation from our camera I'll upload soem and showyou. I'm currently doing some gardening for a company called BTF, so I've been spending my week pulling up weed from numerous hedges and flowers :D Yesterday I actually got to help planting flowers but today it was back to the weed again. Now I've started to involuntarily look for weed everytime I pass a flowerbed >_< The downthing about it is that I have to get up at 5.30 AM since I have to be there at 6.30, but that makes it possible for us to finish at 1 PM on Fridays so I'm content. At 5.30 I'm not as much zombie as I am otherwise, seems that during 6-8 AM I'm in some orm of deep-sleep and when I have to get up during those hours I'm sleepy until lunch. It also looks as if I'll be able to stay there all summer because there have been s many who've quit there, so we'll see how long I last. More money for me anyways :D
For my birthday today I got a lot of music, both on CD, DVD and LP, as well as a book called "1001 movies you have to see before you die" and some random fun things. A few friends and I had some cake and cookies at around 5 PM and then my parents and I have been watching the DVD I got, "The Winners of Eurovision Song Contest and Other Favorites 1981-2005" and laughed at the clothes and other aspects :)
Well, there goes the past 7 weeks, and I'll try to update more frequently in the future :D:D |

And yesterday I went to this year's first barbecue! :D Me and the rest of my class decided to spend some time out in the lovely weather, and I ate so fast that my stomache still ached 3 hours later X_x We played "kubb" twice and I was on the winning team both times! :D (That might have something to do that I and my closest friend were driving and were therefore the only two who hadn't been drinking., and we ended up in the same team :P) We also saw some gigantic mosquitos so I hope that most of them died earlier during this spring so I won't have to deal with them this summer. Today we're going to have a taco-lunch together and discuss graduation-day and all that, so it's going to be fun :)
And I've also applied to one more musical theatre school, and will apply to another next week. What I really hated about the one I've already applied to is that I had to choose one monologue to do from a list they sent out. The thing is that the first monologue is from Medea by Euripides, the second from Miss Julie by Strindberg and the last one is from a modern play called Tarmvred. I really didn't want to do either Medea or Miss Julie since I haven't done much acting at all and those texts are really difficult, but the last play I don't feel comfortable at all with. It's a monologue about how the character has just found out that she's pregnant and that she went to do an ultrasound and all that, and I really don't want to do that. So, I've memorized Medea and I'll have to study that text hard to make it sound natural =/
Other than that, life is pretty sweet. I only have 5 subjects at school until graduation on the 5th of June and we're basically just gliding through them all :D |

Two days ago I and dad went to Umeå (north of Sweden) for an audition to Musikalakademien there. I thought it went really well but I didn't go through to the next step. I did get to do the compulsory monologue and a song and then I got to talk to the students from musikalakademien as well as some of the other applicants so it was nice :) And we all learned the lyrics and harmonies to The Avenue Q theme so it wasn't a waste of time. The people who got to the other part of the audition are doing their acting, ensemble and dance-auditions today, I would've liked to do that too. Some people even went by car to Umeå from a musicalschool in Bjärnum (a trip of about 14 hours!) so I kind of hope that at least some of them got to do the other parts of the audition, it would suck real bad to travel 14 hours just to go those 14 hours home again.
Next audition is in Gothenburg one of the days 1-4 May and then two more at the end of May. I have found some more educations though which are more like Foundation courses (1 year long preparation-courses for further studies) so I'm thinking about applying to those as well (last application date is on Tuesday!). I don't think that they are very well known and since they're preparation-courses I should probably have a higher chance of getting in and will be able to brush up on my all the skills necessary for the more extensive educations :)
So well, even though everything is really quite stressful at the moment (with auditions here and there and material to prepare for all of them, as well as the last 2 months left of school; not to mention trying to find a job for this summer) I think I'll manage :D |

So, the Oscars have come and gone yet again, and this year I hd actually seen all the movies nominated for Best Picture. That said, I really wanted There Will Be Blood to win that category, but I'm not too disappointed since No Country for Old Men was really good as well. Some schocks in the acting categories this year, at least on the actress side (I had Cate Blanchett so pegged for Best Supporting Actress) but I'm happy that Tilda Swinton and Marion Cotillard won. Daniel Day-Lewis really deserved his Oscar and Jon Stewart was fabulous, he's much more my cup of tea than Ellen DeGeneres and he did a great job. I don't think that the awards have ever been that short though, they really managed to shorten the acceptance-speeches this year, but I'm not sure whether that was for the better or worse. Some really funny speeches as well, mainly Ethan Coen's second speech XD Overall it was a really good awards-night and I hope to see it again next year :D |

I was home all day today, because we were given the day of for working on our project. I'm writing about the history of moviemusicals, and today I've finished thorugh to the 1980s, so I only have the 1990s and 2000s left. Feels a bit empty, but then I'm going to make a video with the best moments in musical-history or a video with the best dances provided by Kelly and Astaire. Haven't really decided on that but I guess I can put that on hold 'till I'm finished with the written part of the project.
Also, I dreamt that I was Ingrid Bergman yesterday. I was married to an actor (no idea who it was) and we were on a movie-set. Apparently someone at the set wanted me dead, and tried to implicate that it was someone else, which made everyone look like a suspect at some point. One of my co-stars even admitted to wanting to kill me, but was dismissed in the end. It turned out that the director was the murderer and in one scene we were filming I was walking in front of a large staircase. The director's assistant was standing beside the director and shot ducks that were flying in the sky, and these ducks were supposed to come down, hit me on the head and kill me. I realised what was going on and tried to run to my husband (on the other side of the set), whereupon the director realised what I was doing, took the shotgun and shotme right in the chest. At which point I woke up and was really confused as to who I really was and what had really happened. XD It was nice beng Ingrid though, even if the plot in the dream wasn't all too pleasant.
I recently re-discovered this and had to post it, one of my fav Disney shorts! :D |

I really don't get around to update anymore, I never feel like I have anything to say..Oh well. So much has happened since I last posted, the biggest thing was being on audition in London. Didn't get in, but it was so much fun and I go to meet Nicola (who I met during the Summer course) and we walked around Covent Garden for a while. Didn't go to see any musicals this time, but I and mum saw 2 movies (The Golden Compass and Stardust) and we went on two guided tours (mum went on one more). THe company was called London Walks and it might be one of the best things I've ever done. YOu simply meet up with one of the guides at a tube-entrance, pay £6 and then you walk around for about 2 hours with that guide; you get to see roads and parts of the capital you'd never find on your own. We went on a Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol walk (which meant seeing the places which probably inspired Dickens for places and characters in the novel, as well as English christmas traditions and places linked with that) and we also went on a Jack the Ripper walk (where we actually walked through some of the narrow alleys that still exist in London and visited two of the murder-sites). They were great, so if you don't have anything to do in London I really reccomend it.
I've also grown extremely obssessed with the show Criminal Minds, which I spent full days watching when I was home from school with a cold (while drinking absurd amounts of strawberry-tea O_o), and this WGA-strike is giving me withdrawals since it looks like I'll only get half a season of CM. But, I rejoice with every side-deal made, and it looks promising, even if they won't be able to make a deal before the Academy Awards (which I really hope they do, because I've been looking forward to it for a year, and I'd hate if they had to cancel it).
Now I have four more audition to musical-schools here in Sweden but they're not until April and May anyway, so for now I'll just enjoy the last 140 days of high school. |

I just want to tell you that I'm still alive, I didn't curl over and die in London :P It's just that so much hapened and I don't really know how to put it all down in words. Not only did I see 6 (or was it 7?) plays/musicals, but I also met some of the best people in the world and had the best 3 weeks of my life. Somehow writing all the experiences down means it's definitely over, and I don't want that. If you really want to know everything that happened (or at least some of it :P) I'll write a longer post later with all the encounters that I made :D |

Aie, my Dr Quinn-obsession has resurfaced, stronger than ever. What set it off is that I found some Dr Quinn clips and musicvideos on youtube. Last time I looked after Dr Quinn stuff there (in November maybe?) there were hardly anything, but now there are at least 3 persons who are making Dr Quinn musicvideos at an incredible pace, and naturally I got hooked. Especially when I found some musicvideos focusing entiely on Hank or Hank/Myra. Bad me. Anyway, this is probably the best musicvideo of them all and the song used is gorgeous. <3

Oi time has flown by :O Less than two weeks left until I go to London for three weeks and only one week left of working. Anyways anyhow....
The singing has been going really good so far, I work Mon-Fri together with Carin (the other girl who sings) and Sofia (our pianist) and we've managed to get a quite good blend of modern and old songs, quite a lot of musicalsongs though but they seem to be appreciated as well.
I got another letter from Mountview about a week ago with some more information about the course and so on and I have to prepare two songs and a monologue. The songs aren't a problem, I think I'll take "I'd Give My Life For You" from Miss Saigon and then either "Close Every Door" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat or "The Sound of Music" but it's a bit hard to choose. I want to take some pieces that are somewhat hard and would show my vocalrange but at the same time it would probably be better to have songs that I can sing airly well aswell :P So we'll se what happens. I have chosen a monologue though, it'll probably be a monologue from J.M. Barrie's Quality Street (if anyone wants to read it, just comment :)) so I'm currently trying to memorise it. It's going quite good, luckily I don't have to put much effort into learning and remembering things, and I hope I can do the text justice, considering I haven't really had any drama-practise before. Then of course it's the dance classes which are going to be scary as hell, but hopefully most of he other people there will have the same experience as me, has been singing a lot but not danced as much.
Also, considering the Live arth-gala was yesterday I urge everyone who hasn't visited www.liveearth.org to do so and help save our planet =D The concerts yesterday was really good and I hope it leads to something good. I for one am going to think more about what I do from here on, even if my family and I were pretty environmental-friendly before :P

I have yet again realized that the man of my dreams is Gene Kelly. The man who can do it all: act, sing and dance. I've been browsing through the videoclips of him on youtube, and found a danceroutine from the movie "It's Always Fair Weather". Gene dances and tapdances (!) on ROLLERSKATES at the age of 42! And the way he does it makes it look like he's 18, meaning that I really have to start practising if I even want to be half as good when I'm 42. Here it is, and dont' mind the ever-growing puddle of drool on the floor....
