February through the years

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!

== FEBRUARY 2003 ==
Lived in Nyköping, Sweden
Had dark hair and went to a lot more concerts than nowadays. Started to discover the beauty of digital photo.
  • 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.
== FEBRUARY 2005 ==
Had moved to Gothenburg, Sweden
Started highlighting my hair and had a new set of friends.
  • Sandra was leaving Gothenburg, so we had a goodbye evening.
  • 90s party at Sandra, Ylva & Camilla’s place
  • Me hiding under a hat, wish I had stayed in there. Hehehe
== FEBRUARY 2006 ==
Lived in Gothenburg still.
Looked more and more Finnish and went more and more blonde.
  • 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
== FEBRUARY 2007 ==
Still Gothenburg but with longer hair.
  • My niece Jessica came to visit me.
  • Took my niece to work
  • Jess & me
  • me out on a walk? probably on the way down to catch the ferry to the city
  • I took dance classes back in those days
  • Niece and me
  • They’d made a t-shirt outta my baby photo
  • SAMSUNG DIGITAL CAMERA
  • Jessica
  • I bought this ugly skirt
  • And turned it into this cool one
  • Pimp my Emmaus skirt
  • Promoe.
  • Spent a lot of time at this place called Pustervik. Mostly for concerts.
  • Ratatat
  • Me and my old Samsung camera
  • Me & Nancy before Ratatat
== FEBRUARY 2008 ==
Gothenburg still but cut off my hair. Much blonder though.
  • “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.
== FEBRUARY 2009 ==
I had moved to London and started a whole new chapter.
  • 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.
== FEBRUARY 2010 ==
Jon and I had to move to Peterborough.
  • Some work for my Web Design course.

  5. 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.
