I can hardly say the Albania thing's really such a part of why I play music. I choose to block the majority of the singing-on-live-television experience out of my memory as best I can. I have never felt so completely at the mercy of total strangers before or since, and I never intend to feel that way again. It's awful, completely fucking horrible, I'd sincerely rather be dead than ever feel that helpless again. I need to be in charge of my own fate, and if I'm not, I fucking melt down. I had a lot of great times but I have to make a very distinct partition for the different kinds of memories from that experience.
It'll be 4 years in July since my time on the show ended, and I still haven't decided whether or not the experience amounted to a net gain or loss. There's so many factors of both ends of the spectrum. Whatever I decide about the rest of it, I certainly learned a lot about myself.

Auntie has been cremated. Done and dusted, so to speak. The usual suspects were completely shattered and broken. You know, these types of get-togethers ... never fun. Avoid, would not cremate again.
I might be irreverent but it's a long day, with loads of travelling and sadness and crying.

I either wasn't listening to you properly in '09 or I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

Sorry to hear that, Beo.. So many hugs for this thread.

@Carl: Much love. Windy as all get-out though, so had no hope of keeping the candles lit for long (It also messed up the flowers). They were burning when I was speaking, at least. The bowl had a low-lying burn on top of the fish I chose for sacrifice (Marine Biology interest). Can't really see it well. Put some Dry-moss on it to help the fire stay alive.
(click to show/hide)O Eir, maiden of Lyfjaberg,
hearken, merciful one,
these words for [her] spoken!
She sees arise,
a second time,
earth from ocean,
beauteously green,
waterfalls descending,
the eagle flying over,
which in the fell
captures fish.
For the weal of her
do I give sacrifice.
For a good year and peace.
-Valdís

Å Eira, mö av Lyfjaberg,
hör, barmhärtige, dessa ord
för [henne] talade!
Upp ser hon komma
för andra gången
jorden ur havet
igen grönskande;
forsar falla,
örn flyger däröver,
den som på fjället
fiskar griper.
Till hennes välstånd
offrar jag.
För år och frid.
-Valdís

Feel free to take it as just another hollow platitude, but, like I said in the private message: Infinity hugs. :-)

That's an excellent service, and that's coming from an atheist. I would not mind having a funeral like that at all.
