Creativity

Baking cupcakes was really fun, but also sort of tricky since now you didn't only have to make it look good but also tasty. I looked around on the internet for inspiration and found a lot of good ideas. Decoration these cupcakes made me think of those commercials when they show like "chocolate experts" making delicious chocolate. And I could almost see myself in one of those commercials. It also felt relaxing making them, not caring how long it took and sitting in the kitchen with lighted candles surrounded by cupcakes, candy, cream and frosting.

And about my comic, it's coming along, but I'm having a hard time deciding what the main charterer should wear. And I'm having a really hard time deciding what the new character should look like. I know it's going to be a guy, but otherwise... no idea.

Twirling is going better and better, I actually have some knowledge in twirling now, compared to a couple of weeks ago when I knew exactly nothing! But I feel I'm a really... well, attention craving person (and I have been since I was a kid). Who really want to make everything great just so people will encourage me. But of course I'm also doing it for myself, I mean when I succeed with a twirl that I've had problems with for a long time I'm almost screaming "Yeah! I did it!" without thinking. And the feeling of being rewarded for the work you do feels great. And I think that everyone wants some kind of acknowledgement when they do something good, otherwise it would be very discouraging. That's why I'm so happy when Magda tells me how much I've advanced and it gives me the wish to continue.

Working in the wardrobe for the first time! I hadn't really planed on helping in the wardrobe but it proved to be very rewarding and also very fun. When greeting people it was just pretty fun starting there smiling, talking and welcoming people. I'm generally a very social person and get happy if just someone says hi to me. So chatting with the people to see the concert as well as with the IB2:s felt really nice. But I was really nervous about when everyone was gonna leave, and loads of people was going to want their jackets. I tried to prevent losing stuff the best I could by putting hats and gloves in sleeves of jackets and in the hood. And once people started arriving I tried to work as fast as possible finding each jacket for each person. And for being the first time I think it worked quite well. I had the system figured out quite well, and never had to look for a jacket for a really long time. It was also like a competition in a way, and it was also sort of nice having one clear mission, find the jacket and find it fast.

And extra fun was that we got autographs and to talk with Rongedals, I'm not a super-big fan of them but it was still fun and they were really nice. Another thing I thought was fun was how people claimed that we had their hats or gloves, but when we told them to look in sleeves and such, they always found them. I don't think anyone lost their jacket, glove, helmet or such and I would really like to do this again if I had the chance.
