& Flowers bloom to scatter

Current Mood: Cool & Playful

Oh boy, I was enjoying myself so much during the holidays that I couldn’t be arsed to blog… I wanted to make my return with a funky new layout but errr, don’t have enough art mojo it seems. Anyways, I’m back for now and hopefully I’ll stick around for a while, hee hee.

Though some shitty things happened, my holiday was pretty much amazing, yet very simple and low budget :P Let’s kick off with the shitty things, shall we?

• The graphic card of my computer died on me in the middle of the summer, whilst I was fully enjoying gaming! Oh noes! My computer was pretty old, slow and lame for nowaydays computer standards anyway, so I bought a brand new kick arse computer! That’s the only part of my holiday that hasn’t been that low budget…
• I bought new cupboards, which is more yay! than shit, BUT… Whilst putting the cupboards together, I accidentally damaged my floor. It has these huge scratches in it now. Oops. Oh, not to mention the proces of putting my wardrobe together… the sides just didn’t fit into the frame. It turned out that I had put some parts the wrong way around. ^^;;
• I didn’t get any tickets to see the Ashton Brothers! :’(

As for the good things…

• I bought myself a ball-jointed doll. Click the link to have a look at Caleb. He’s a bit camp :D I’m currently saving money to get him a (camp) partner.
• One of my best friends got his own car, so we’ve been cruising around lots. A car is so cool, not as cool as a motorcycle though >:D
• I have a Nintendo Wii. The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess = love. I feel so heroic when I shake my wii mote around like mad to get a monster down ingame.
• I’ve got a new computer! :D
• I’ve got new cupboards, a wardrobe and a matras. I love the cupboards, finally no more cd’s and books that are scattered around my room.
• I’ve got the complete Saiyuki anime on dvd! Nanda yo! >:D
• Items bough during a random shopping spree; lots of hats (mad hatter!), new jumpers, cardigan, legend of zelda gba game, sims expansion packs, new sunglasses (aviator style, rawr!), posters, bags, mangas, books and of course lots of albums…
• I have several books about the Japanese language. Dirty Japanese is definitely my favourite. atashi o atsukaeru otoko nanka inai. Cookies for the one that can translate this without using google or a dictionary :P
• I even went shopping with Chris in ‘the big city’ of Zwolle. I am now the proud owner of a genuine Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club - Beatles bag (big thanks to Chris for spotting it for me)! The photo that is on the front contains all four beatles, with tache 8D
  All together now! “Sergeants Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, we hope you have enjoyed the show…!” After 19 years, Yours Truly has finally come around to appreciate music by the Beatles. ^^;

Thou shalt not forget random things!

• Music; Placebo is working on their 6th album with their new drummer! Hurray! Both Keane and Franz “Fucking” Ferdinand will be releasing their third album this year. I recomment thee to listen to the new song ‘Lucid Dreams’ By Franz Ferdinand. Franz is back!
  However, Kaiser Chiefs will also be releasing a third album, Off With Their Heads, on October 13th. The Kaiser Chiefs fan that I am, I MUST get the album. Spanish Metal? Tomato In The Rain? Sound like pretty class song titles to me! <33
• To anyone that catches up upon KC reguraly; Mr Hogdson has finally come around to get rid of the tache. Because no one wants to look like a cheap imitation of Brandon Flowers… hehehe.
• Games: World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King will be released this year (I must admit I’ve been bored with the game for quite some time). Give up your life kiddies as there will be a lot of new content to explore!
  Guitar Hero 4 is also a game I am looking forward to, since there will not only be guitars, but this odd looking drumkit thing! I’m still trying to become the next drum prodigy. Fable 2 is going to be wicked too, just like Spore! Last but not least; Sims 3 is coming to a hood near you on February 19th, 2009. Vanuchi!

That’s it for now folks! Until next time! :)

& Shut up and let me go

Current Mood: Bored & Cheeky

HEY! This post’ title comes from a song by the Ting Tings. I really adore that song right now, the bass and guitar lines are quite simple yet wicked, then there’s some effective “HEY!” shouts and oh! It’s mind-boggling awesome! I also like Fruit Machine and That’s Not My Name… Yay for the Ting Tings! HEY!
I’ve been digging up some of my albums that I have neglected for a while, such as the album You Cross My Path by the Charlatans. The Charlatans don’t get as much love as they deserve, really. They’ve been around for ages, though basically no one outside of the UK has ever heard of them. Such a shame.
Also I’m quite ashtonished by the fact that I do own lots of genuine albums, not just downloads. I don’t have a place to store them all, the shelves of my cupboard are crammed! I guess that means it’s time to move on to a bigger cupboard, haha!

The weather is quite shite, too hot for my likings. Yesterday I had a dentist appointment, I got all sweaty just by cycling to that silly dentist! Luckily I had no cavities, so that made the sweaty trip somewhat worthwile. I get a bit puzzled when people tell me they are scared of the dentist, not that I’m fond of seeing the bloke, but I aren’t terrified either. Usually I get hungry when I go to see the dentist, and I crave for lots of candy, crisps, chocolate and coke. That’s not good for your teeth I reckon.
Somewhere in the afternoon my best friend came over and we went to get ourselves some BIG milkshakes. I wish I didn’t, because I got nauseas and all that jazz. Oops!

School is going great, I’m getting lots of high marks, which is great. I did this year’s exam for English class, for fun, not an official mark. I got the highest score out of the whole class, while I didn’t even study for it. If the exam would be official, my mark would be a 9.2. I’m still flabbergasted about it. It does give a boost to my confidence when it comes to studying English in the future. I’m very well aware that I make lots of grammar and spelling errors (my blog posts are just horror!), but at least it’s a good start.
However, if I really had some talent, I wouldn’t go study English. I’d take my chances and have a go at The Academy of Musical, Theatre & Cabaret in Amsterdam. Just like my current heroes, the Ashton Brothers.
Speaking of Ashton Brothers, I hope to see them on stage in October. <3 I’ll keep my fingers since I haven’t obtained a ticket yet!

And happy birthday to meeeeeee! I’m 19 years old now. Wow.
I’ve changed my mind and I will actually be throwing a birthday party this year, for my closest friends, just like I did last year. I can’t wait to see Buddie, favourite-Eric, Sambalbal and Apple Turnover! (Don’t ask about them silly names though.) I do have a feeling that I’ll get pissed off my arse this year, since I got a giant bottle of whiskey as a birthday present. Of course I have to make use of the gift that has been given to me. Hahaha!

Current Mood: Happy & Tired

Wow, I’m actually blogging in the morning! It’s been ages since I could do that. It’ll probably be the last time too though, because starting next week I will be at school every day (apart from Saturdays and Sundays if course =P) from 9 am till 3 pm. I’m taking 5 classes for my exams next year; Geography, Biology, History, Dutch and English. Geography is the most annoying class to take in my opinion. Yesterday I got these pictures, and I was supposed to tell where the pictures were taken (could be anywhere in the Netherlands) by recognizing the landscape and ground type. That’s bloody hard! >.<
I’m still going to te gym once a week with a friend of mine. I’m also having this archery class therapy once a week. It’s wicked but I’m so lame at shooting. I have a talent for shooting arrows in brick walls XD

Kaiser Chiefs are recording! Yay! XD
Some other good music; Morrissey, The Cure and Parka. Disco dancer, disco dancer, I want to dance with yooooooooooooou! :D
13 days to go till my birthday =( Yuck. I’m not having a birthdayparty this year, I’m not aging :P Nu uh!

Current Mood: Impressed & Thoughtful

Ladies and gentlepeople, Yours Truly has moved!

Gah, I’ve got such a big room that I don’t know what to do with all that space! I think I’ll turn it into an indie rock room (lots of posters! xD) to give myself something to look at. Although posters can be quite scary, all those eyes staring at you. Heh.
Saying goodbye to my former housemates turned out out to be a lot harder than I expected, I’m actually going to miss two of them. Thank God I’m still living nearby so I can at least visit them every now and then.
One of my housmates plays guitar, and together with some girl he actually sang a song for me when I said goodbye to them. That was very sweet of them, and a special way to say goodbye no? I’m special! :3 Yay!

The weather has been lovely the pasts two weeks, very sunny. I went to the beach on Wednesday, and my nose got sunburnt. I also forgot to take off my necklace, so I have a white circle on my skin, since the rest of my skin got a wee tan now. Well, it’s not that much of a tan. Usually when I go to the beach I get called Snowwhite by random people. Not fair! I can’t help it that I have a very pale skin.

I’ve got 2 new fanlistings up; the Modern Way fanlisting and the Zookeeper’s Boy fanlisting! Feel free to apply. :)

I also got myself a remittance since I am not able to work due to my “illness”. It’s pretty ace. I get about 350-380 euro a month now, and because I haven’t got remit since my 18th birthday, which I had supposed to, I get all those months since refunded as well. That’ll turn out to be around 4800 euro! O_O I’m rich! $_$
Talking about birthdays, I’m turning 19 next month. Geez, I feel so old now. Somehow my age doesn’t match how old I really feel. Years ago I had so much dreams, so many things I was hoping to had achieved around this age. Like graduating from school, going to university, live entirely on my own. Thing is, all of that didn’t happen.. :(

Oogie knew there’s never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it’s always 1982
The joke we always knew

What’s the matter with you
Come on, let’s go
Slip away

& I thought that music was dead

Current Mood: Tired & Doubtful

I’ve been extremely tired lately, perhaps due to my overloaded day schedules. Loaded schedules keep me going, I don’t want to waste my time doing nothing. So far school is going great, I’m going to do a part of my exams upcoming schoolyear (I’ve split my exams in two, to make things really easypeasy). For a few weeks now I’m also going to the gym. Not that I think that I’m fat or anything (well, sometimes, but then I’m just having one of *those* days ;P) but I just like to stay in shape. It starts to show after a long period of having a not-so-active lifestyle (eeee gravity!). Maybe I’ll feel a bit better about my shape and dare to show myself in swimming clothes upcoming summer. I’m getting muscles, hurrah!
I’ll probably be moving about again in the next two months. The house I’m currently living is starting to get filled with these 15 year olds. -_- It’s so tiring, they can’t do fuck. Seriously, laying the table is one hell of a task for them. I feel ancient! >.< My next crib has people in it from around my age, 18 and older, which is good. Plus, I'll have more time to go to school and do some fun stuff. Maybe I'll master an instrument! =D

Last weekend I was in a shopping spree, I bought myself 14 albums. Lots of Oasis, Bis (not the Japanse band, but the Scottish band ;), Blur and... *drumrolls* David Bowie! Did I ever mention that I absolutely love David Bowie? He’s amazing! For you Jrockers out there; he’s the main inspiration of the Jrock/Visual Kei bands today. He started with the wicked clothes and feminine look (Ziggy Stardust!) <3

Another thing I’ve bought during my shopping spree: a pair of MC Hammer trousers. You know, MC Hammer?!! Can’t touch this?!! Anyways, those trousers are really comfortable to wear, though some might say I look retarted wearing them. Who cares!

“I remember when I was a little girl, my mother set the house on fire. She was like that.” A song by Cristina, of the album Going Places. To all you Last.fm users, go give it a listen! >:D (Oh, how this song cracks me up.)

Oh, my Nick Hodgson fanlisting is up and running! <3 Yaaaaaay! =D I finally got enthusiast working, but not due to help from Codegrrl. Gah, they didn't do a thing. -.-
I did apply for 3 more fanlistings; Zookeeper's Boy by Mew, Modern Way by Kaiser Chiefs, and the Ashton Brothers. I hope I'll get them approved. Fanlistings are addicting.

Meh, I’d better go pack my bags, return some comments and ah, dunno. I feel so blah. Blaaaaaaah. I want new affies. I need some love. I’m down. Depressed. Whatever.

I need a hug :(
