the masquerade ball


You know that it has been an eventful night when you wake up wondering what the hell you did last night, with the anxiety for doing something stupid is creeping up behind you and you find a casino membership card in you wallet.

poesi for drømmere og studenter #1



Jeg drømmer om å være en poet.
En som drikker rødvin og whiskey fra store glass,
og som skriver store fine ord
som ikke alle forstår.

Jeg drømmer om å være en poet.
En poet, slik som de franske.
De som knyttet seg til sigaretter og tomme flasker på
samme måte som andre knyttet seg til mennesker.
En poet, en slik som i knutste flasker ser diamanter.
En poet, en slik som kan elske på en måte som bare
forelskede kan.

Jeg drømmer om å være en poet.
En som skriver store fine ord
som ikke alle forstår.
Jeg drømmer.
Jeg prøver.
Men jeg er bare meg,
og jeg lager en vegg.
En vegg av redsel, tanker og frustrasjon.
Jeg drømmer, men det blir med det.

En dag skal jeg slå ned den veggen.
Da skal jeg bli poet.

Sunday

lust, for life



There are no such thing as a funday on a Sunday. Oh well, there is one good thing about Sunday. You can spend the whole day in your pj's.

Saturday

hey there, Albert



From the moment I stepped into Albert Watson's universe at Fotografiska in Stockholm last May I knew that I loved him. Naturally, I had seen Watson's photos before, but never like this. In full size, the images covering one wall after the other, spellbound me. Intense beauty, rough love, lust and the fine line between porn and art; what is there not to love?

oxford

Yesterday, on the 1st February, the first edition of The Oxford English Dictionary was launched a 128 years ago. Nylon celebrated with sharing their favorite words, and that go me thinking. As a writer, it is only naturally that I love words. Short, long, weird, ugly words, beautiful words. It is something magical about watching a typewriter or a document and just observe how letters forms into words. Words form sentences. Sentences turns into a story. Words are something special, and here is my favorites.

Wednesday

i break horses



And then came reality. After looking over my assessments for this semester it is clear that I can kiss my social life goodbye and say hello to endless hours of writing. Still, I think 2012 is going down in history in a good way. by:Larm, a new edition of Jack, lots of wine, kissing and good friends, England in general, finishing my BA, Paris. Who knows what would have happened by the end of this year? According to someone, we are not even going to see the end of this year, so you better do the best out of what we have left.

I am making it the best of it by listening to I Break Horses (linked) and planning an interview while covered in blankets in my bed. Who could have asked for a better Wednesday?

Monday

dreams #2



Had my first day in my last semester of my BA today. Over christmas I kinda decided that going back to Norway to work for the rest of my life is not an option, so I decided that this fall, I am moving London. England just seems so homy, and I'm simply not ready to leave. My first though was to take a masters in cultural studies. However, that was before I realized that a master cost over 100.000,- for an international student. So, now I am playing with the thought of just writing freelance for everyone who wants my work and live out of cheap wine and love (and my savings). In my imagination, that seems like a pretty good deal.

Tuesday

(ph.ourbanoutfitters)
Thanks to my good friends convincing me to buy this dress, this wonder of a velvet fantasy is arriving at my doorstep in five days. Hopefully, we will have many good nights together.

Monday

gif.





1. Walking behind a couple holding hands makes me smile.
2. Unicorn.
3. Cooks love for Effy in the series 3 and 4 of Skins fascinates me.

january



Ever since I started watching Skins as a rebellious 17 year old I have loved the series, and made it my inspiration. When things are bad, they get worse, but in the end it will (hopefully) turn out for the best as long as you don't give up seems like a good mantra to take inspiration from. They also throw the best house parties. WATCH IT!

Thursday

dreams #1

To find love.

To spend a lot more than just two weeks of my life kissing.

To one day, when it is all over, be able to say that i lived my life to the maximum. No regrets.

To have a goldfish named Frank swimming around in a big flower vase in my living room. I will tell him all of my secrets, and he will understand everything. We will be best friends.


To be happy.

Wednesday

christmas




I drink too much. Do things I probably shouldn't have done. Talk too much. Sleep too much. Eat more candy in a week than I do for the rest of the year. Don't do the things I should be doing. Drink, kiss, dance, eat, sleep, eat, drink, kiss, dance, eat, sleep, drink. Boy, am I having the time of my life. 2012 is looking good.

Sunday

the best of 2011


(ph.weheartit.com)

In random order, here is some of my absolute favorites from 2011. It has been a good year. (Titles are linked)


Razika - Program 91

This record put words to every feeling I have had regarding boys, friends, drunken nights and life in general the past five years. Aldri was the story of my life when I in May wandered the streets in high heels looking for my crush, and ended up finding someone else. Vondt i hjertet described my teenage years and Middelalder is the story of my life.


120 days - 120 days II

I can loose myself in this record and dance the night away, all by my self. Enough said.


Veronica Maggio - Satan i Gatan

This record was the sounds to my spring and summer. It was the soundtrack that followed me trough excames, stupid boys and one of the best summers ever.


Blouse - Blouse

Blouse came into my life one dark October evening and made my heart seem lighter and my head less heavy. In other words; this is a good record.


Craft Spells - Idle Labor

The sounds of young love, life and summertime. Those of you who know me well know that love, life and summer are my abselute favorite things in life, so what is there not to love about this?


French Films - Imaginary Future

I fell in love with this band during by:Larm last February and ever since then I have been head over heels about them. You simply can't stop smiling when listening to their debut album. It is absolutely fantastic.


M83 - Hurry up, we are dreaming

At first I did not like it. Then, it became kinda ok. Now I love it. Still, it does not come near the brilliantness of Saturdays=Youth.


John Olav Nilsen og Gjengen - Det nærmeste du kommer

I don't have words. I love this band, this record and every word that comes out of John Olav Nilsen's mouth.

Tuesday

both sides now




Yesterday I was supposed to do schoolwork the whole day, and I did, until 6pm. Photo exhibitions and free beer at school is a good thing. Ended up four beer poorer and tipsy at 11pm making pasta for dinner. It is a nice life indeed.

This morning, I somehow decided to cut the legs of my Cheap Monday jeans.

Wednesday

let's run away




Tomorrow, I am running away from everything called deadlines and essays and going to London for the day. Mission? Getting into the christmas spirit and finding a 90s vintage dress.

Rings from eBay.

Sunday

life in general




(ph.weheartit.com)
Think positive, think positive, think positive, think positive, think positive. Fuck you, essay.

Thursday

we found love




I got a new obsession: Vanity Teenagers Tumblr.

Monday

le rouge



This season I have decided to not buy myself a new dress, therefore, say hello to my new friend.

Chanel Rouge Allure - Luminous Satin

Friday

let them eat cake





On Wednesday I styled the first photoshoot for Jack 02. The key items? Cake. 12 donuts, one big cake and two danishes later we had a memory card full with amazing photos, models with cake in their noses and ears and a lot of cleaning up to do. Good times, good times.

analogue love #2





Second part of my newly developed film. After a day off, I am now back in the liberary, doing anything but school work and dreaming about the apartment I hopefully will live in alone next year.

1. My much missed hometown for two years, Trondheim.
2. Me.
3. My brother, Joakim.
4. Birthday present from my brother.

analogue love






1. My beautiful cousin Malena.
2. In May, we had our first Jack Magazine launch party!
3. Ida and I ran all around town stealing flowers to put in empty jack daniels bottles.
4. Love on the streets of Stockholm
5. Well used Converse shoes.
