Yes

Aus allen Zweifeln steht es auf..

Es widerspricht dem Zeitenlauf
Es wird aus Liebe auferstehn
Kannst du es spürn
Dein Herz schlägt

I take no responsibility for the quality of my English in the following post. I'm tired and I'm feverish so excuse all my stupid mistakes.

Dear blog, I've been a bad neglectant girl again, no updates in forever. Not much going on in my life right now ;) My uncle died, I went to the biggest metal festival in the world, hopefully I'll get my driver's license soon. As you can see, not that much.

Sticking to the cheerful topic; Wacken Open Air.
It was amazing. Really.The bus ride down was pretty eventful; four people puked on the bus, one peed on a table and a really nasty drunk guy (later we found out his name was Jakob) hit another man because he looked too much like his friend. As you might have guessed I didn't get much sleep that night and after putting up our tent and checking out the festival area and the small village of Wacken I fell asleep in our tent. Was awake for 27 hours straight I think.

Me on the bus:


Finally getting some sleep:



Woke up I few hours later and found Emelie sleeping sweetly next to me. Unfortunately I was wide awake. I placed my fine tush in my camping chair right outside our tent and watched and listen to Wacken by night. It amazes me we were able to sleep at all that week, Wacken by night isn't exactly silent :) People running around screaming, music blaring, abuse of megaphones. I loved it ;)
Anyway, after sitting there alone, except for various men offering me their services, I heard calling: "Hey, you sitting there alone. Come join us instead" The voice came from a Dutch guy sitting with his friend a few meters away, and I shyly moved my pretty little tush over to them. After some time more Dutch people came and I was understanding less and less of the conversations so finally, around 5 am I went to bed.

Dutch people:



Thursday:
Finally got to see my beloved Mustasch. They rule. Ralf rules. Ostkaka är gott.
Mustasch:


It was so god damn warm outside we decided to take a shower. Yes there were showers, believe it or not. For the reasonable price of 2.5€ you could freshen up in an Auschwitz look-a-like place with ice cold water. Might not have been one of the most pleasurable showers I've had, but it was definitely worth it :) Since we didn't bring towels we were running around nekkid for a while before we decided to put our clothes back on and let the sun do the rest of the job :)
Later that night it was Maiden time. Emelie and I totally mocked them and I bet we were the ones having the most fun ;) We came up with a million versions of "Fear of the dark", what do you think of fear of the shark, fear of the shaaaark, i have a constant feeling someone's eating me.
After Maiden we spent some more time with our Dutch neighbour, but this time we also met some Swedes and Emelie got hit on by a Leprechaun.
We decided to take a walk around the camping area and Emelie's burping led us into a nice conversation to this man:

Poor guy was lost and of course we offered to help him find his way back to his camp, even though we had no idea of where he lived ;) We think his name is Jürg, he's a German man with Swedish relatives (we spoke a little Swedish to him. He's sad they don't have wild strawberries (smultron) in Germany, 'cause he really loves them). He talked about his trip to Australia which included several dead kangaroos, mocking of friends being attacked by magpies and an unpaid speeding ticket which doesn't allow him to go back for another 6 years. Haha, he had so many stupid stories, and for the sake of humor in life I hope they were all true :)

Friday:
We had a loooot of bands to see today. I can't really remember them all, but we had a busy day. I was really looking forward to seeing Sonata Arctica again but I got so disappointed. Tony Kakko (the singer) is usually very cheery and hey-ho-let's-go-y but this time he was stressed and seemed irritated. :( I expected more from them :(
We had a few hours with no bands at night and we decided to head back to our tent for a quick rest. Besides, my back hurt soooo bad I needed to lay down for a bit. Unfortunately Emelie fell asleep and proved to be completely unwakable so I missed Avantasia :(
Fun fact: Children of Bodom did a cover of Umbrella ;)

Saturday:
Went back into the village to buy some necessities: knäckebröd and wurrmi. We spent most of our day in our tent doing weird Sara-and-Emelie stuff and it was fun as always ;)

Me getting stuck in my sweater. Emelie says I look like Timon from Timon and Pumba



Emelie didn't like all the bugs in our tent so she decided to eat a spider:


Didn't do much at all. We were tired, filthy and warm. Besides, we wouldn't want to go to bed too late and miss our bus home.


Sunday:

What a looooong day. We were on that bus forever! We ended up sitting next to the guy who got in a fight on the way down. He was talking about how women is responsible to all violence in the world because "their pussies get all wet when they see men fighting. If they just didn't like macho men no one would ever fight again". Wow. Yeah. Really. There's nothing sexier than watching a wasted man jump a sleeping man in a bus. Please take me. Now. (note the sarcasm) He also thinks it's totally okay for men to cheat on their ladies, since that only proves he loves them. What? Huh? What world does the man live in? Women shouldn't cheat though "She'll fall in love with the new cock"
It got even worse when he started hitting on Emelie and putting his hand on her thigh. We went to the bathroom and just happened to switch seats when we got back ;)

Due to a traffic jam in Germany we almost missed or bus home. We made it by just a couple of minutes :) After I 14 hour long bus ride I finally got home and took a well earned shower <3
