Hurray!
Today is my birthday, wow I can't believe I’m already, so hard to believe mostly because I, personally, still fell like a 16 year old girl. And I’ve gotten a lot of comments from my classmates who have a hard time believing me to turn because I look so damn… childish. But yes, today on the 26th of November I am all of a sudden 24 years old. It seriously feel like yesterday I was a teenager who didn’t really had that much to care for in her life and now I’m all grown up, living in my own apartment with my hubby and I’ll be finishing my education soon, I hope. But it’s such a beautiful day! It’s snowing here in Denmark and it’s been snowing for a week. I haven’t experienced a snowy birthday since I was a child so this is truly pure gold for me. When I woke up today I got my present from my hubby which turned out to be a Playstation 3, omg! My hubby told me that he, a couple of my friends and some from my family joined in together and bought the console for me plus a game. I was ever so happy when i opened the gift. And when I get home today from school my mom and stepdad will visit us and later on I, my hubby and his mom will go out to eat. It’s going to be such a great day. Thanks to all who has celebrated me so far, it really means a lot to me

Back again!
( ´ ▽ ` )ノ タダイマァ
So I'm finally back from J-popcon. It was simply the best weekend in a long time but it was only because I had to see many good friends and enjoy myself with everyone I know. We arrived Friday at 17:23 at Copenhagen train station and went directly to the convention, where we met with our friends and looked around to get an idea of where everything was located. I was a participant at the J-fashion fashion show this year so I needed to know where I had to meet with the rest of the girls, to get all dressed up and ready. I was so nervous because I've never tried being model before. It was quite an experience and we ended up with 32 models who showed their finest lolita clothes (we had EGL, Gothic, Sweet, bitter/sweet and even two gangster lolis) clothes. The hall that could hold up to 1000 people was almost completely filled up! O(≧∇≦)O
But the j-pop organizer messed up. They had forgotten to put up something that could conceal us so that people could not see our outfits. So we had to sit in a circle and a try to disrupt the view, so the audience couldn’t see us until we had to enter the stage. I was number 3 in the line and it was not as bad as I had predicted it to be. The spotlight shaded the audience out, and it eased my nervousness. It went smoothly and we got much applause for our fashion show. But poor Sascha was so stressed out because organizers couldn’t manage a damn thing. They hadn’t fixed the sound, light, stage or anything so Sascha had to manage pretty much everything herself, but it doesn’t surprise me. You can always count on something to go wrong every year during J-popcon.
But when the show was over we walked around and enjoyed ourselves. I had invited a friend with us to J-pop so we could enjoy ourselves and have a great time together. She had had a disastrous J-pop last year where one of her "friends" had left her in Copenhagen in order to catch an earlier train without telling her about it, so I really tried to make this a great experience for her sp that she would want to attend j-pop again. As we were getting pretty tired and hungry, we went out to look for something to eat and our hotel. Unfortunately we had to eat McDonald's burgers that night (yuck!) because everything else was closed, but our hotel was thankfully only a 5 minutes walk from where convention was but it was located on a street called Cohlbjørnsesn gade and near Istegade, these are streets where there are a lot of drug dealers, drug users and prostitutes so I was a little uncertain about it all. But thanks to my hubby and my good friend I felt safe. ☆ミ(o*・ω・)ノ
On Saturday I jumped into my Kaito cosplay. I must say (seriously im not trying to be a pompous bitch here) but my Kaito cosplay was clearly the best there was during the entire convention. I had the shoes and dyed my eyebrows blue and even blue fingernails, but lacked, however, to get a hold of his headset. There were many super nice cosplays to look at and some of them were also quite…ehmm fail since they used shiny fabric to make their cosplays and such, it is a shame when they do it because it makes their costumes look cheap and unprofessional. Use shiny fabric when the cosplay CALLS for it! But it was also during Saturday that there was a cosplay show. I didn’t attend it either as participant or as part of de audience since I think cosplay shows are boring an. But this year it was totally weird! There were so many who were doing .... uh interpretive dances which I couldn’t quite understand, what the hell was THAT about? All the acts where so boring that I and a friend of mine could hardly sit through the last couple of acts. The cosplays where great, don’t get me wrong, but the show was a drag. Me and my friend went into the dealer room to have a look at what they were selling this year (we exploited that people where so busy within the show) and I must say there were a lot of REALLY great stuff but the candy part was disappointing. ( ̄へ ̄)
They only sold Pocky and some chips. I love Pocky and can easily eat a couple of packages during a day but I was seriously hoping for a wider candy aspect than Pocky and chips. I hoped for some Hi-chew, Ramune and so but alas there was none. And ofcourse there was the yearly “yaoi paddleboard” seller. Yeah… You know so all the yaoi fan girls have something to play with? Fan girls who calls two boys kissing for Yaoi, lol fail much? But I got to buy some neat stuff. I bought for $125 (600 and something kr) worth of Copic Markers, three key hangers (Chopper in a bathrobe, Grell and Luka) and three new books for my “How To Draw Manga” library at home and two posters, one of Squall and Rinoa and one of Miku from Vocaloid. My hubby didn’t attend all the dealer room running since he was busy watching the Danish Championship in Street Figther (can’t remember what number it was) and the winner got the bragging rights and $550 (3000 kr) we saw a few minutes of it before heading towards the dealer room. There was also The Artist Alley which you were able to visit the whole weekend but Satureday was especially special for me. A Danish comic drawer (not hugely famous) came to sign and sell her original drawings; I myself am a huge fan of her comics (Scandinavia and the world) and I got the chance to get a drawing from here and an autograph! Plus I bought a drawing from the lovely Anna but I wasn’t able to get it before I had to go home during Sunday, so she’ll be sending the drawing to me through the mail and I am ever so excited to receive it. (*´∇`*) ~ ♥
Later on after the cosplay show my hubby, I and three friends went to get something to eat. It was quite let a night almost half past 11 and I was surprised to see that there was actually a pizza place (with a pizza buffet) that was open 24/7. So we went in to eat. The food was really good and after we ate we had to go back to the hotel. When we got back we were really tired so we sat down and watched some One Piece. I managed to see one episode before falling asleep, resting on my BF’s back, haha. But my friend couldn’t sleep so she stayed up until 4 in the morning. I’m one of those people who can’t stay up past 12 before falling asleep on the spot. Sunday morning we went back to the con to see what was going in, be got there 45 minutes before the dealer roomed opened because we wanted to see if there was anything on sale during the last day there were a couple of things but not much. And the entire con was really lame during Sunday since that is the day where most people go home. At 12 we went home towards Aalborg again. We arrived at 6 in the evening so we were really tired and I had to attend school the day after. But all in all It was a freaking awesome weekend and thanks to all the sweet and lovely people who supported me and talked to me the whole weekend! Hope to see you again next year (ヾ(´・ω・`) *wave*

Day 5
what the hell happened to day 4?
Well day 4 is about me posting a picture I took but I don't take pictures so I won't be able to post any, sorry guys.
But day 5 is about a website I use daily.
And what website/blog might that be? Well it's a Danish site and I visit it pretty much every day and several times a day and it’s all about j-fashion (Japanse street fashion) and here it is <-- link. It’s a Danish website where we Danes who are interested in the Japanese street fashions and in general the Japanese pop culture. Some may say that it’s not as good as many of those fancy sites like EGL_community but it’s really great and very informative. So if you are a dane and you would like to get into the different Japanese street fashions join the site :D
I really like the site and the admins in there are so supportive and very friendly, plus you'll also find a lot of very nice and supportive people in there.
AND! I am leaving for J-popcon today! Yes today is finally the day and I am ever so happy. See you late sunday peeps ;D

What did you do today?
Today our teacher made us make a lot of small classic cakes.
We made Tosca cakes, Mozart buns, Nut horns, Napoleons hat, højris (don't know how to translate it without making it sound really weird) and small layer cakes. I will say that i HATE working with pastry where there is marzipan in. It's so sticky and hard to work with! But there was a LOT of free samples today we could munch on, yum :D
I got a B for all of my cakes and I must admit I was really surprised he gave me that grade. I myself thought my cakes was horrible XDDD
It was a really stressful day! we have two-3 boilers with melted chocolate in them, but only one was useable so we where 20 people around ONE bowl of hot melted chocolate and let me just say that 90% of the cakes where either fully or partially covered in chocolate! And we only had like 4*45 minutes to make it all! Not only that a guy chose to show up after the 4 baking lessons we had because he thought we were going to have lessons afterwards. He didn't get the sms during Monday where we were told that the last to lessons today was to be moved to Monday instead.
And his excuse for showing up so late? "I was sleeping". I was sleeping? DUDE do you WANT to become a baker or are you just here for the money? I got really angry with him mostly because almost everyone on the class shows up 5-30 minutes after class has started. I and two others normally arrived at the school 25 minutes before class starts, no we are not teacher’s pet we just need the time to dress up in our working clothes. And for me that means taking an earlier bus so that I arrive ready and dressed 25 before class start. When people just keep meeting whenever they want it seriously gives our class a bad name! I get really angry when they do so, or when one of my classmates always screw things up. He never listens to what the teachers says and just copy what we do… monkey see monkey do syndrome.
But at least there are some of us who actually WANT to do this and become a professional baker. But I won’t let it anger me all the time. Oh yeah! There’s only TWO days left until J-pop con! OMG! I can’t wait for it :D I’m ready for the J-fashion fashion show and my cosplay wig is all styled and ready to be used. I won’t be able to blog that weekend since I’ll be in Copenhagen that day so please bear with me.

why did you choose the name you did for your blog?
well the name Popze dates back from when I was a teenager.
Me and some of my
girl friends were huge fans of The Lord Of The Rings back then so we started pretending what and our names would bee and what we would be if we were LOTR characters.
We found a name generator on the net which could generate Ent, Elf, Dwarf and Hobbit names. I've always fancied the little people in fantasy and rpg settings so ofcourse I chose to be a hobbit and my name tunred out to be Poppy Underhill. Adorable little name <3
We it later yous got cut down to Popze by my friends and suddenly it became my new nickname. And that is why my blogname is Popze. I still use it this day but I've gotten some new nicks over the past years such as; Timmeh (like the dude from South park, yes XD) Tuna (yeah a friend of mine calls me tuna) Mommy Yokomo (from when I was an admin at an rpg board) Hunny Bunny (what mah hubbe calls me) Mulle (yeah it's my danish petname in my family) and munchie (from the same girl who calls me Tuna XD) yeah those are my nicks for now haha :D Awefully weird names some of them, but I like them :)
But all in all I like my nick. It's a part of me and how my old friends know me and it's also a memory from when I was a teenager, a good memory with my good friends back then :)
Tomorrow I'll be writing about what I did that day? lol okay, well if it works it works haha
NOW FABLE III (got the collectors edition as a early B'day gift rom my Hubbe <3>
Bai bai gaiz!

Status quo.
Sorry guys but this vil be in danish since I have a LOT to write about this time.
Jah der er nået og ske meget på den tid jeg har gået på skolen og en ting er sikkert, tingene er virkelig begyndt at skride frem og jeg er super stolt af mig selv, og min indsats på skolen. Men ikke kun det, vores lære er virkelig begyndt at lære os vanskelige ting. Sidste gangs skulle vi f. eks lave fletbrød, 4-5 og 6 flet som hurtigt viste sig at være okay nemt. 5 flet var klart den sværeste flettemetode, men gud hvor blev vores brød dog flotte! Man skulle pensle dem 3 gange så de fik en utrolig flot shine. Fik 4 og 4 da vi både skulle lave store flet brød og små kuvertbrød. Det er jeg sådan set rimelig stolt af dels fordi jeg er så dårlig til at arbejde med brøddej. Kagedej er meget nemmere for mig at arbejde med. Nu hvor vi snakker om kage dej, så skulle vi lave dansk wiener brød i går, igen hahah :)
Det gik faktisk meget godt og vi skulle lave en del ting med wiener dejen, men det hele startede virkelig kaotisk. Om morgen får vi og vide at vi ikke havde mere margarine, fordi vores leverandøre hade været der for at aflevere varerne klokken 6, men skolen åbner altså først dørene klokken 7, så de var kørt igen for at lever deres vare et andet sted. Det var rimelig irriterende, dels fordi vi sad det første lange stykke tid og bare gloede ud i luften fordi vi intet havde og lave. Men vores lære var hurtigt til at vende situationen. Han fik fat i nogle opskrifter på fuccasia pizza boller som vi skulle lave op og indtil margarinen ankom. Det smagte som sådan okay, men de kunne seriøst godt have brugt mere ost. Men vi fik endelig vores margarine, fordi en lære på skolen (kaldet "Islændingen") var så sød at hente nogle til os fordi vi virkelig have brug for dem. Vi kom endelig i gang og skulle lave utrolig mange ting. Vi skulle lave: En smørkrans, en smørstang, en julestjerne, en julekage, en Dagmar tærte og en kringle.
Det gik faktisk ganske godt denne gang. Jeg formåede at skaffe mig hele 10-taller på en dag for 3 forskellige ting! Jag vi er begyndt at få karakterer for vores kager nu, fordi det giver os et godt drive til at kunne få lavet gode ting. Jeg ved ikke om vi er de bedste af de to grundforløbshold, men jeg har tit fået og vide fra vores lære, at vi SKAL være de bedste, haha! Det er ret komisk fordi sidste gang lavede vi nogle af de flotteste kager af grundforløbsholdene. Men der er sket rigtig meget. Fik lavet min eventyr bog og tophat med H.C Andersen, som virkelig fik ros, folk turde stort set ikke skære i kagen for at spise den, så den ene af vores bagerlærer, Helle, måtte skære den for folk.
Desuden har min kæreste og jeg haft 6 års dag (havde vi her den 10 september) 6 år har vi været sammen, og det har været 6 skønne år. Vi har ligesom så mange andre par haft både op og ned ture, men vi har altid formået at komme igennem selv de værste situationer. Jeg er abnormt stolt af at have været sammen med ham så længe, fordi han er den første og eneste kæreste jeg i mit liv har haft! Det samme gælder for ham også. Det har virkelig været en skøn tid vi har haft sammen, og det er vidunderligt at vi har så meget tilfælles. Da årsdagen kom inviterede jeg ham ud og spise på en ægte italiensk restaurant her i Aalborg, kaldet Felini. Den er simpelthen for skøn! Det er et lille intimt sted med få borde og stole, maden er sublim og stemningen er bare så hyggelig. De spiller italiensk musik i radioen og alle tjenerne snakker italiensk med hinanden, super hyggeligt og jeg kan VARMT anbefale det, skal man da ud og spise i Aalborg. Min kæreste fik en bog han havde ønsket sig længe "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" af Hunter .S. Thompson. Han var ovenud lykkelig da han fik den. Har kun set filmen, men ikke læst bogen og jeg syntes filmen er super fed. Johnny Depp der spiller Gonzo journalisten, Hunter Thompson, som er total dopes up på narko. Seriøst fed film!
Her den kommende søndag skal vi holde en kombineret Halloween/indflytterfest hvor der kommer nogle få venner for at hygge. Vi har planer om at se Nightmare Befor Christmas og jeg skal sørge for at lave noget lækkert essen. Halloween cupcakes og sandwiches. Glæder mig en del, ved seriøst ikke hvad folk kommer som til festen, men håber da der kommer nogle enkelte som er i udklædning,da jeg selv skal have kostume på. Har endda købt en masse pynt ind til festen og glæder mig til at folk endelig skal se vore lejlighed, efter vi har fået lamper, reoler og hylder op. Desuden har jeg endelig modtaget min Qutieland kjole, den er super skøn og total MMM like!

So autumn is finally here in Denmark. It’s cold, it’s wet and it’s windy! This is a typical autumn for Denmark and I must say I hate autumn when it’s like this! But it’s because the wind is really cold. That kind of cold that seems to be stuck in your bones and refuses to leave your body, even thou you are inside a warm room, snuggled up in a warm blanket. Brrr! Hate it. But I do love all the lovely colors all around us when autumn is here. Yellow, red, orange, brown, golden! Autumn is just filled with so many great colors which should inspire people and make them happy. Sadly enough I know a lot of people who gets a winter depression during winter, and it’s not because I’m insensitive, but I just can’t see WHY people get oh so sad and down while winter is upon us? There are so many great things during winter and autumn! I love to snuggle up in my warm duvet, with a nice cup of hot cocoa whilst looking out of the window, seeing the rain and wind outside making utter chaos. Then it’s nice to sit inside a warm and secure home, knowing you don’t have to be out there. Or when in winter you come home to a hot cup of tea and newly baked buns! These are a few joys you only get during the winter months so why be sp depressed? Sure it gets darker, colder and wetter, but hey! It’s just a face and great stuff will come! Christmas is soon here and then new year. So as you can see from what I write I love the winter months and I won’t let myself be beaten by chill winds and dark mornings! Why should I? I have better things to do than to sit around in my apartment, feel sorry for myself and feel like everything is horrid and against me. I myself have had not only one, but three in my family who had a depression back when I was a teenager. My mom, dad and sister had a depression due to various reasons and the only ones who stood without a depression was me and my youngest sister. It was tough being caught between two parents and a sister who would get rather vehement emotional outbreaks out of nowhere! So I promised myself never to give a depression just ONE chance to get me. I know it is impossible but I try. And that is why I won’t be all sad and soggy when it gets colder and darker. But all in all I am one of those who like winter because for me it’s… “Hyggeligt” and Danish word that you can’t translate to English. It reminds a lot like cozy, but it’s not the same. Hygge is something special that us Danes truly love and care for. It’s something really special and something we in Denmark have a lot of during winter. Now that we are talking about winter, I can’t wait for November! There’s so much stuff going on that month. I am going to the Danish J-pop convention, I’ll be celebrating my 24th birthday and there’s a meet-up with the girls form one of the Lolita circles here in DK (short for Denmark)! This year I’ll be going as Kaito from Vocaloid. I might be joining in on the Lolita fashion show and show off my AP dress and I’ll bring my kigurumi, mostly because I don’t want to bring my Yuna (the FF X version) this year. But I can’t wait! I’ll be going with my BF and a very good friend of mine. This is going to be so awesome! But right after my birthday (actually the day after) we will be celebrating Thanksgiving! We don’t do it the same way as Americans do and don’t celebrate is for the same reasons. We just have the party because that is the day when the Thanksgiving football game is! So yes I don’t see a reason to why I should be depressed with so many great upcoming events.
So what are your plans for the upcoming months?

( ^_^)/ やぁ!
How many of you remember the time when you where kids were you had your very first BFF? I do and her name was Sonja. But due to a stupid episode as pre-teens we went each our own ways. Later on I became BFF with a girl named Kirsten, her sister was in the same class as I and we quickly clicked together. She liked all the same things as I did. Anime, computer games, crafts and cartoons, this was truly a happy period for me and it was also a period where I felt alone and forgotten. I was a teenager and god bullied in school, but thanks to Kirsten I didn’t feel quite alone in a unforgiving world of popularity and backstabbing. She was perhaps one of my best friends back then and we did a lot of stuff together. Went cycling in the forest in our town, watched a lot of movies, had several sleepovers, made our own films with Barbie dolls, yeah this was a great time for me. But again due to some problems we went our separate ways. I was told by a friend that Kirsten saw me as a friend but also as a rival, or that is at least what she got the feeling of, because every time I tried to give her some constructive criticism (Well at least I believed it was) she would get mad, or upset and at the very end it just got too much for me. Then came Carina. One of those girls who got bullied, just like me. We had almost a sisterhood together and she was a girl who you just couldn’t get mad at. She was sweet and a very good friend. Our friendship didn’t end because of an argument but simply because we grew apart from each other. A lot of it was because she was going to high school and I was going to Tech College. But at least we both agreed on ending our friendship on good grounds. But the reason to why I make this post is to thank those girls who has been my BFF’s when I was a child and a teenager, for better or worst those girls friendship made me that woman I am today. But there is a special girl whom I would like to thank. Her name is Ekatarina Gusarova and she is perhaps the best friend a girl will ever get! I love her dearly. We met at a meet-up in a Danish city called Aarhus where we just clicked like that! But not in the same was as me and Kirsten did, no this was different, she was practically me… Just Russian, longhaired and had brown eyes, but she was indeed just like me. Just as crazy and fun loving like a little puppy and as sweet and mild like a kitten! I know this sounds so weird they way I am describing her, but she is just the best friend I’ve ever had. She is that kind of girl where you can talk to her about everything and no matter how tough he shit gets, she is always there for those she like and love. I don’t know how many hours I can spend talking with her about drawing techniques, anime, political stuff, religion, and psychology (we both loved that in school) She is a girl from whom I have learned a lot about drawing and she is perhaps the funniest and the most crazy girl you’ll ever find. Not only that, she an amazing writer and PR’er (role player). We have a dream of going to Russia together, I would love to see her motherland and hear about how she experienced Russia when she lived there and visit her babushka. We both had a vision of us both going to The Animation Workshop (in Viborg) to become cartoon animators and make wonderful cartoons like on the good old days. But sadly enough she moved to Germany (although for another two months she is living in Viborg) and I moved to Aalborg to become a pastry chef. I miss her so much! And every time we talk together we always have a lot of interesting things to talk about! And sadly enough she hasn’t be able to visit us in our new apartment, although she only lives about 1½ away with train. I hope to see her again soon and laugh with her.

Finally manage to complete an anime!
Today is really a great day. I’ve manage to deliver my project for my teacher, got over 8000Kr back for my deposit (we paid 12.000) I got a lift home by my aunt and, I manage to write me a job application for a confectioner's shop I would like to work for AND I have small vacation new. Today couldn’t possibly become any better. SO when I got home from school I sat down and saw another episode of “Yumeiro Patissiere” which also showed to be the last on! Can’t believe I’ve already seen 50 episodes of that anime! “Yumeiro Patissiere” Is about the clumsy 14 year old Ichigo Amano who wants to become a pastry chef like her grandmother and her dream is slowly fulfilling as she enters St. Mary Academy culinary school where she meets the “Sweet princes” and some “sweet spirits”.
I would first like to say that it is truly a girly girly anime with the huge sparkly eyes and so on, and during the start you would actually believe that it’s going to end up like a classic harem anime, but funny enough it doesn’t which is a BIG plus in my book. But luckily enough a season two has now launched called “Yumeiro Patissiere Professional” yeaaah… not exactly the most creative title but hey if it works, it works. So why do I like this serie? Because it’s about making sweets and desserts which is what I would love to do when I become a pastry chef. The anime has given me so much inspiration and thought on how to make new taste complement each other and how to arrange the cakes. If you like girly-girly-sparkly-warkly anime than this is really one for you. At least see it because of all the wonderful desserts and cakes, even though it’s just an anime they look SO yummy! (ノ´∀`*)ノ Although i must admit there is a huge difference between the into I season 1 and in season two. Season 1 is more cute and lovely whilst season 2 couldn’t make me stop thinking about Lady GaGa when I heard the music and saw the video.
And as a final note I would like to thank Zarsu for this wonderful new template she made for me! It’s supposed to be a mix of steampunk and classic loli since those are some of my favorite stiles in this world. If I could I would build up my entire life around steampunk and classic loli. So thanks Zarsu for this great design!
Sorry for this rather short entry I didn't really have enything to say today. Bear with me. m(_ _)m ゴメンナサイ
