I was looking to some old photos for a different post I am writing for the blog and came across some really fun old pictures. This walk down memory lane made me want to introduce a new feature to the blog called “month through the years”. This time it is February’s turn. I started taking loads of photos back in 2003 sometime. So the photos will date back until then approximately. If a year is missing, it’s because I could find any photos from that year. Here we go!

I had dark hair and borrowed my sister’s school’s digital camera a lot. I met a new friend, Daniel. He was a music nerd, but not at all to the degree he is today… We went to Stockholm to see…. Sigur Ros Sigur Ros I also went along with my friend Ida to interview the Sounds. And after we saw their gig.

Went to see the swedish singer Jens Lekman Went to my friends house first where I was told I look very Finnish, the reason: high (and round) cheek bones, tiny nose and tiny lips. Well I am half Finnish so no wonder. That reminds me of a friend of mine who all of the sudden exclaims: “I can’t believe you’re not Finnish, Caroline, you look SO FINNISH!” Me: “I AM Finnish”, Her again: “Oh, ok then…” I was now living in Gothenburg and I loved to curl my hair. I used to put highlights in it as well. Sweden won the Olympics in Icehockey I lived in a tiny, tiny flat but live was good. Went to Malmö with some friends. To see a Death Cab for Cutie

“So what, who cares?!” I bought some Ray Bans and thought I was pretty cool. We started the “Wednesday club”, a way to socialize during the week. First thing we did was bowling. Which suited me fine, because then I could dig out my old Bowling shirt.

London shut down because of some snow chaos. Being swede, it didn’t really face me so I went for my planned interview. Since no one else showed, because of the snow – I got the job! I spent a lot of time with boyfriend Jon. We went for walks and ate pancakes Mexican party at the girls flat in Notting Hill.

Some work for my Web Design course.
nöööööörd. Själv har jag inget minne av dem alls. Förvånad att du minns. Hehehe…
Och i morse kom jag på det. Förbandet hette 'John Vanderslice'. Ha. Kunde inte släppa det.
Det kan du ge dig på!
Vilket långt inlägg!
Ja, Death Cab måste det ha varit. Det är det enda bandet jag sett i Malmö. Bilden skulle dock kunna vara på förbandet om vi hann dit. Man, inte en av mina bästa kvällar det där.
Kommer du ihåg vad vi såg i Malmö för övrigt? Var det Death Cab?
Sjukt va?! Men sant :)
Åtta år sen! Ha! Var det så länge sen? Det måste helt enkelt vara det…
