Once upon a time, it was holiday.

This coming week I will be freeeeeee from work. Which is good, because there are a lot of things that need to be done. Like cleaning this house [which I am partly doing now], updating this site [which I am doing now], updating my fanlistings [I got hacked or something and lost everything and it's terrible], reading Harry Potter [which I'm going to start today, going to read 1-6 this week in English yesssssss], writing my novel [I am soo behind :( ] and making clothes and stuff like that. I finally bought a fancy portfolio kind of thing where I will put A4-sized photos that I have taken. I am excited, and also very happy that I have such a good quality printer because it definitely saves me a lot of money.

Why I am making a portfolio I don’t really know because I’m not trying to get a job as a photographer or trying to get into photoschool [though I would like it, someday]. But it’s a nice thing to do, to show off or to just look at myself, instead of always going "look on the internet". I am also working on an online portfolio though, it will includes photography, doodling [haha] and writing, perhaps I will also show plushies/clothes that I’ve made and maybe I will get some sort of shop going on. Who knows.

Uhm, I will update this throughout the day, now I’m going back to laundry, so be back later!

Okay edit, it’s monday now, I did a lot of laundry and room cleaning and hair changing. But I wanted to include some pictures in this post, so I’ll just post them and shut up. I’m sorry if you’re on dial up but I don’t like my pictures small, haha.

Some funky polaroids from London:
0012
Yes that’s the Tower Bridge in the background haha, it was lighted but the camera didn’t want to see that or something.
0013
The Big Ben, obviously.
0014
I call this "Thompson Twins"

I’m afraid other London photos are still in the queue to be photoshopped and uploaded. I hope to upload them sometime this week as I’m free.. and I really want to share them. Oh I was going to shut up. Anyway here’s two more polaroids.

0015
My cat on my bed, after being missing for a month and a half! I was sooo glad she came back.
0016
And this is Disneyland obviously. Regular pictures of this are also coming later.

Ciao baby, I’m just going to make a new update with new stuff muhahaha.

Once upon a time, dreams came true.

I’m sorry if I’m only updating on Mondays nowadays. That is kind of lame, and I want to change that. But this month I’m really busy. I work four days a week, for 10 to 12 hours a day. Then I come home and I either watch some lame show or work desperately on my book [not really going well].

The weather is really FuckedUp. I don’t have a problem with the sun hiding if I am really allergic to the sun, which I think I am. But then I should be inside all day, which I don’t like either. So if the sun isn’t shining that doesn’t mean it should be raining! If there’s something I really don’t like about this country, it’s the rain. It’s also partly a reason I could not live in the United Kingdom, as much as I like it over there. So here’s my doodle for today.

Weather mood swings

I’m still debating if I should colour it or not. Perhaps I will make another, coloured version.

As for my weekend, I went to see Sum 41 play at Solidays Festival in Paris on Saturday, which was kind of amazing. There were so many people there and the weather was so good, I wish it was like that right now. I also saw some other bands play. Unfortunately I couldn’t take any pictures :( . But you may or may not know Sum 41 is my favourite band [together with AFI and Anti-Flag yeah yeah] and they hadn’t been in Europe for what? Three years? So I was excited to see them and it was a fun show. Too bad it was at a festival or it would’ve been better. I’m kind of anxious for the new album. Curious. I know I will like most of the songs but I’m also scared that somehow the album will suck. And I don’t want that to happen because Sum 41 make me a happy little girl. I just put their music on and I’m happy. I don’t know why that is. I can admit that they’re not the best band in the world, but for me they’re just it. It’s sentimental value I guess.

On Sunday my sister, my boyfriend and I went to EuroDisney/Disneyland Resort Paris as it’s actually called. It was a lot of fun. I really liked the first coaster we went in, Crush’s Coaster. The charriots [if that's the word] go all the way around and it’s spinning and fast and it’s obviously Finding Nemo-themed, which is supercool. We did some other cool things, but most of the time we were waiting waiting waiting waiting.. and the food there was really bad. But whatever, Pirates of the Caribbean was awesome as always and we had great fun. We have this supercool ticket that allows us to go back in late August/September so I’m going again then! Yippeeeeee.

And that’s it for my news this week, I hope to blog again sometime soon haha.

My doodles aren’t that great lately, and I still have to write all of today’s words [for my novel!!], in an hour, so apologies, but here it is!

Whining
