Once upon a time, we were back.

Mood : happy  Music : Paramore - That\\\'s What You Get

My server decides to go offline once in a while [still!] and so it did just when I wanted to tell the world that I was going to London. Well, I went, and now I’m back! One of my friends also came back from her world trip – mind you she was away for about nine months which is like eternity, but it also feels like she never left – and I went to see her today. Funny to see how she is ready to get settled and go studying, while I right now am more laidback, ready to not study at all and just see what comes [which could very well be travelling but probably working before that, no?].

And guess who is also back? My dear kitten [aka cat of 10 years old] who was away for over a month! I honestly thought she wouldn’t come back in this house ever again. But my father found her a few streets away from ours. I am so glad. She seems happy to be here again, already familiar after a few hours, taking her usual spot on the couch, purring when I stroke her favourite spot in the neck and as always losing hair.

I want to do a huge mega fantastic London update but my hard-drive-problem is playing up again [and it doesn't help that I now have a new Compact Flash card so I can take more and more and more photos, heh] aaand I can’t do a lot, meh. So I am now cleaning up, getting rid of the last few fleas in this corner and then cleaning up this computer.

Oh, what I also want to mention is that I am going to write a novel. Yep. I’m going to write a novel in 30 days [50,000 words is the goal] and I’m doing it together with another crazy person. This will be 30 days of craze, I tell you. We’re starting July 1st.. so fingers crossed!

Once upon a time, it was Flea Fest.

Mood : busy  Music : Blaqk Audio

It may be the heat, or some rare disease.. Or maybe it’s fleas!

How cool as Flea Fest sounds.. [well, I think it would be fun for a mini festival or something] it isn’t! It’s Fucked Up! I am covered in bites. That’s also why I haven’t been on the computer these past days because I didn’t want to enter my room and be bitten. Yesterday I was busy all day, cleaning and spraying [and also being bitten] and now I dared being on the computer to get some help to study for my last rebound exam tomorrow.

I promised you a doodle and an update on my weekend, so here it goes! Saturday I had a harp performance with about 45 harps! It was awesome. We were busy all day and just that was already a lot of fun. Then the performance was great also. I really like playing together. There should be pictures and a video later, when this Flea Fest and exams are over and I spend more than half an hour on the computer. Anyway, it was fun!

Never Die!

Okay, it’s more a drawing than a doodle. It’s inspired by Tiger Army. They have a new record out, Music From Regions Beyond, and I am in love with it. I didn’t feel like studying, on Sunday, so I drew this. I think it’s pretty awesome. But that’s me, now obsessed with Tiger Army, speaking.

On Sunday I first went out to buy Everything Is Illuminated. I know, I have a lot of books that I borrowed that I still have to read but I just had to have that book. And I started it and it’s awesome. So shush. I will get around to the other books.. eventually. Then after that, Muffin and I had some amazing dinner [wok] outside, downtown. And then we went to see Ocean’s 13. Which was pretty amazing. I liked it a lot, and that’s all I’m going to say because you just have to go out and see it for yourself!

Tuesday I had my French exam, I think it went pretty well. I also cuaght up, and said bye, to my friend who is going to LA for five weeks. Damn, I’m jealous. Yesterday was time for cleaningcleaningcleaning. Today is studying. And more cleaning. I spent the last two nights upstairs in the guestroom. I think tonight I will do so as well. Right now I’m going to sit [to study] somewhere other than here, and hope I will update soon again anyway. Damn you, fleas!

Once upon a time, it was friday again!

Mood : tired  Music : P.O.D. - Goodbye For Now  Tv : Comedy Central

Seems I never update on Mondays anymore. Lol. I do doodle though. I just have not been very Photoshopactive and that means I’m not Deviantart or Flickr or anything active. Amazing how my life revolves around photos and if I don’t edit them, I don’t get to do the whole internet thing. Well, whatever, I still take pics everyday and that’s what matters in my life :P My camera count is now at six! I have a Polaroid camera that I am soooo happy with. Really. It’s all sorts of orgasmic. I wish film wasn’t so expensive. But now that I’ve worked I’m rich, and I don’t really care that much, haha.

Anyway, since school is officially over [but I still have to do some things] it’s now holidays and I want to update more damnit. Tomorrow is harp event! It means I have to get up early on a Saturday :( Oh well. It will be fun. 45 harps! Awesome.

Here’s the Fridayfive and I will now shut up so I can update on Monday, about my weekend. How does that sound? Good, right? Yeahhhh.

1. What’s something you were into before it became popular?
Fall Out Boy, and now they scare me. Not because they’re "mainstream" but because I just don’t really feel their music anymore. And a certain someone helped with that.
2. What’s something you were reluctant to jump on the bandwagon with, but now are totally into?
First Blink-182, I totally misinterpreted the All The Small Things video, lol. Oh and Flickr. I didn’t get what was so awesome about it and didn’t want to join and now I love it. I must admit I love Tiger Army, but I don’t think I want to be a Rockabilly fangirl.. though that tempts me every time because part of it is just so awesome.
3. What’s a current trend or fad you just don’t get?
MySpace, Hyves, blahblah. It’s not really current anymore but it pisses me off. Also, people who start "photography" MySpaces. Sorry to break it to you but you’re not suddenly a professional if you have a MySpace. And what also annoys me about that site is that bands don’t care about normal sites anymore and grmblgrmbl.
4. If you could turn any current fondness of yours into a popular trend, what would it be?
Tamagotchis, so they become cheaper and I can make mine have friends damnit.
5. What’s something that’s totally uncool that you love anyway?
Naked pictures.

Once upon a time, I was bummed.

I am just a little bummed with my site, my server, everything. I am sorry I’ve been very unactive lately. I’ve been busy working, doing exams and not getting accepted at schools. Grrrr. I want to do a layout change but it’s not working out as I want it to. And then I want to change my server, but I keep on not having enough money in my bank account.

I’m going to bed now, I just wanted to say this so you know I’m not dead and I’m probably going to update again soon. With lots and lots of stuff! There is just sooo much to catch up on. Help!

PS. Isn’t is ANNOYING that I can’t go to the comments? Not when I’m on my site and not when I’m in the admin section. What The Javey! Totally annoying, I tell you!

PS2. It seems my Dead Nasties theme works again. And I answered some questions! I thought nobody asked me things anymore, but apparently it happened. So please feel free to ask me stuff and I will look at that more often!
