I'm so angry right now! I just want to cry! My parents are so mad at me... They forced me to choose between the danceband and my work as operator at the car company. Of course I choosed the music, and then they became so mad at me. They think that you can't support yourself in the music business. But you can! As long as you have the time! Agh!!! And I get time if I quit at work.
Everything started yesterday. I sang with the danceband in the evenings the whole week last week. And then more than one gig during the weekend. When I came to work yesterday, I was very tired. I was so tired that I fainted and had to go home. I still have a headache after my head hitting a telephone. Haha... "What have happened to you"? "Oh, nothing. I just got a telephone in my head!" Haha!
I understand why they forced me to choose. And I agree, it is too much. But they should accept my choise. It's my life, and I do what I want. And I want to become a famous singer more than anything.
Actually it's quite weird that I want that. Because I'm a quite shy person, and everytime I'll go on stage i get such a stage fright. I start to shake, get ill, and sometimes I cry. But when I am on stage later, it use to dissapear after a while. And I can enjoy it. I love to sing, it's my life.
By the way. Björn (not that Björn, her earlier boyfriend are also named Björn) and I have been a couple for five months now. I love him so much! He's so sweet! I miss him... Right now he is in Spain with his family. He wanted me to come with him. But of course my parents would have said no, and then I don't have money for that. But still, it was so sweet that he asked me...
