OnePlus One - Phone Talk/Love

So I was able to sell my old baby, my XPERIA SP to a man that apparently was going to perform at IEGS! So that was nice, he was a nice person.. who also bought my phone + accessories for my full price.

Today was the first time in a long time that I felt okay, fairly "happy" with life. I mean, I got my phone sold, got some cash back, fixed some papers and tonight I'm meeting up with an old friend from afar. Oh, side note, during Sunday night (22/3) I went to see Chappie in the movies! With Die Antwoord and they're the only reason why I wanted to see that movie because I love Die Antwoord.

Lulz, the reason why I'm writing this is because I want to talk about my new phone, my OnePlus One (OPO). First of all, I am so glad I bought this "back up" case which I bought spontaneously when I realized I had to wait for too long for my screen protector and other cases to arrive. I'm very happy with this flip case even though I've always been against flip cases because they look so impractical, like you have to open a big, fat book in order to get to your phone. Blurgh, anyway, I still think a normal back case is better but I care too much for this phone that I can't afford a single scratch on it so I had to get a more protective case and that's how this flip case came into the picture. It's a blue/turquoise  MOFI case with a steel flip cover, it's really nice and I bought it in Sweden so it took one shipping day, it came so fast and yeah, I'm very satisfied.

On to the actual phone... I am in love. The size of the screen is 5.5 inches, so that plus all the other space makes it a pretty damn big phone. I've used it and I mean... It doesn't matter, you get used to the size but there are moments where you are very conscious of the size, like when I talk on it or putting it in my pocket. My hands are pretty small and my pockets are also small so it happens that I have to actually hold the phone like it's a bigger wallet, which is kind of annoying. But other than that I really like it.

It runs on CyanogenMod (at the moment ;)) and I love all this customization that you can fiddle around with. You can change almost everything to the way you want it. The CPU (processor) makes everything run so fast, I really noticed the speed whenever I wanna download/uninstall an app, everything is done within seconds. I'm on my OPO all the time!!! Not because I do anything special on it but because it's so freaking beautiful to look at. I have set my own wallpaper, icon and themes and it's just soooo beautiful.

So that's my home screen and as you can see by the bottom of the screen are these buttons. I have six, SIX different buttons and I customized them all by adding and rearranging them as I like it. The OPO also has "hard ware" buttons/keys off screen but they are limited to the standard "three" buttons (back, home, menu/whatever). 

Another thing I totally love with the software, Cyanogen, is the music. You can adjust whatever you like to hear, equalizer. I put more bass on the settings and my headphones just busted that bass into my ears I have my own nightclub right in my headphones. I'm listening to music through my OPO because of this. Otherwise I have iTunes on my computer and I listen through my PC but it sounds really flat. 

Another thing I really like with the OPO is the LED notification. It's basically just a blinking dot next to the front camera. Perfect location. I've had "the blinking dot" on my Xperia Neo but it was located on the side of the phone, after that my Xperia SP had this HUGE LED notification, its transparent bar. That phone would be perfect for whoever that sucks at responding quickly to messages since the whole freaking phone would blink. That's a bot too hardcore for me because I am a master at replying fairly quickly.... Because I'm glued to my phone. So going back to the simple dot LED Not. is pretty good for me. It doesn't scream in my face that someone contacted me but it also doesn't hide and let me miss stuff.

So yeah, I've had my phone for a few days now and I am generally very happy with it so far. 

......

I'm not gonna say anything... Just gonna leave this master piece here.

HUGE UPDATE: part 2

Since I moved back home I have also had a period where I hung out on Reddit a lot. That's where I also met this new friend. Alex from Virginia. We started by me posting on a subreddit and then he commented and I replied and then he did and so it all started. We then moved to PM's and then I took it a step further and asked for any social media contact. Snapchat and iMessage it is. Nowadays we chat every day on Snapchat. He also gave me a free copy of Portal. He's nice and a sweet guy!

What else... I have also been chatting a lot with "Murran", that was before though, now I don't do it everyday as I used to. Sebbe is also here, the regular stuff ya kno. I also kind of, started a little "business" with him. Hopefully we'll be able to meet this summer where I can join him in Gothenburg and we'll chillax. We haven't met each other despite knowing each other since last summer.

I met Malin during Saturday. It was the first time in forever. We haven't really spoken or hung out since autumn, nope, we never met during Christmas when I was at home. We went shopping, or she did most of it, I didn't buy anything, just a necklace and then we went to get free selfie sticks!! So we just talked as we shopped and updated each other on our lives.

The same day I went clubbing and in Kristall we met Chris and Kennedy! I haven't met Chris since IEGS and Kennedy since 2012. Kennedy wanted to chat and hang with me alone... Ugh, no... Not this again. After Kristall closed me and my girls went to Donken nearby and stood outside, what we didn't know at the time was that Mr. "Wille" Viking Hahne was standing really close to us, maybe a meter away and when Diana dropped her lip balm cap and he picked it up we started talking. He was like "do you speak Russian?". He understood what Diana and Kammie said a bit. We all talked a bit with him but it ended up with only me talking to him. So yeah, I had a personal chat with a politically active person, and not with any party but with SD. I joked about him being a "pure viking", that's when he talked about his name and he had an actual necklace with this viking motive. Damn.

He had been to Kristall, he said, but I never saw him there. He had this blinking device which I never asked about but I assume it's some kind of protecting thing... In case he's attacked? He was kind of "rigid" but still pretty open. We also shook hands when we introduced each other. I'm still baffled that I met him and never realized his role at the moment until later. It was cool.

OnePlus One, 1+

Yeah, you heard me. I got an invite from Murran! When I went to their website I found out that you could buy this phone on Tuesdays! Without invitations! That's pretty stupid because it's not as exclusive anymore!!! All this hype and excitement about invitations and now it's all ruined with this Tuesday shit?!!!

Anyway, I didn't believe my eyes when I got the invitation. It was love at first sight when I first found out about the 1+ and it was no doubt that if I'd ever get the chance, I'd take it. And I did. Murran posted on fb about having 2 invitations and I quickly asked if I could have one. So yeah, I'm super excited and of course I got the 64 Gb black one.

Since my phone is rooted and flashed with a custom ROM, Cyanogen 11 (CM11), that means I have to go back to stock ROM in order to sell my phone. Urgh... So I gotta wipe my phone and go back to Android 4.3.

HUGE UPDATE: the past weeks since I moved back!

The past weeks have been a blur now that I look back. I haven't done any proper updates since the INNA concert, that was also when I recently moved back home.

Why did I move back home? Honestly, there's so many factors, personal and private once that I can't tell. Let's just shortly describe it that I was freaking traumatized. A lot of things happened and I don't really want to go back there. I am way more healthy now and Jkpg is probably going to be put as an end of a chapter of my life. 

ART

As noted in the previous post I've started to draw. I haven't really talked about how it all started, except I do that on my Tumblr: Creepyism1. In the beginning I experimented with scribbles and watercolor, but especially scribbles. I drew on an A4 sketchbook which was way too big and the art just came out really ugly in my opinion. It also felt like I was wasting paper, especially on such a beautiful sketchbook (which I bought in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam). So I realized I sucked and tried doing any random scribble on note sized paper. The first drawing I did was on Walter White from Breaking Bad. 

Keep in mind that I've never had any lessons or practiced scribbling or drawing at all. I did this one really quick and it came out so nice. Before doing this piece I liked drawing things right from my imagination but I obviously didn't have the skills to draw that well so I tried doing this "reality" drawing, which meant I had a picture and "copied" it down with my own drawing. I was damn proud of this Walter White piece. The first person to see this was my little brother and he saw immediately what it was. He wanted me to draw his idol and told me to start selling art and at that point I realized I really, 100%, had something going on. 

If you look at my Instagram now (click) you'll see all my works, from all the water color pieces to what I draw now. You can almost see where I started taking my drawing skills seriously and that's when I really put more effort into my works. I was the "lost artist, I did different art, water color and doodle art but I've always been interested in scribbles because it's rather quick and don't require too much detail (which is good and bad), or it depends on your style, but I am quite impatient with everything in life and the same for art. I work in bursts of energy, anyway I'm drifting off... What I'm trying to say is that I discovered my hidden skill with scribbles. Scribbles is such a nice and easy way to make rather good shadowing and such to make things look more realistic. 

So as I kept drawing everything just naturally blended into my own style. I started doing scribbles that were "empty", not much shadowing and such and my later works are filled with it, filled with scribbles. 

See the difference between this "clown" and Walter White? I actually did this clown right out of my imagination while a lot of my other pieces have a picture I looked at. I guess I'm dull that way... I hope I'll be good enough to use my own ideas and put them into beautiful pieces on paper in the future. But for now I'm in the newbie stage and I think it's best for me to draw from pictures so that I can practice shadowing and such. 

You know, I've never felt so lost as I've been, don't get me wrong, I still am really lost in my mind but finding this hobby really fills my soul with purpose. Somehow I feel a little better today than I did, let's say three weeks ago. I tried, I reached out but I couldn't find anyone and I realized that I will never give a shit about anyone but myself. Art has filled about 50% of that emptiness I felt. I knew I had a creative skill and I am so grateful for being lost in the sense that I found this hobby. 

The crazy thing is that I started drawing seriously at around 2nd March. Yeah, two weeks now, I've done these pieces with only 2 weeks of practice.

hey, wow, I suck

Well hello there. I have been lacking with the updates. What can I update about? First of all, I've moved back home to Stockholm so a new chapter has begun.

I have partied.. Last week we celebrated Diana's mums bd which we afterwards went clubbing. Saumans mum surprised us all by letting her go out with us. I've also started focusing more on art!

I do scribble art and have started a new Instagram for that. I've been having this Instagram for a couple of months now but it's NOW that I kind of realize that I wanna post some of my art works. Right now, today, I started a new Tumblr too for the sake of my art work. The Tumblr will probably have some description behind all my works, that's what I want my Tumblr for. But of course, people can follow just for the sake of the pictures.

Follow me on Instagram: CREEPYISM
On Tumblr: Creepyism1 (#1 at the end)

or you can look for the links in the description to the left.


In the beginning I just scribbled some shit together and I didn't put a lot of effort but the later works are cooler and you can see that I've put more effort into them.

How did I discover this skill and why did I choose this type of art? I'll answer this on my Tumblr. But basically it all happened by accident.
