Glee will do a version of Florence and the Machine's 'Dog Days are Over'.

My mouth literally fell open with surprise when I read that.

I'm very, VERY curious what it will be like since I love both the song and the show... But I don't think Glee can do justice to such a song.

Such a fun fashion show!




Love that the cute Dutch model Nimuë Smit opened!
 
Although I quite like the collection, I don't think I'll buy anything from it: it's still too expensive. I might get one of the €9,95 lipsticks though, just for the sake of it.. ha.

I'm wearing black nailpolish. It suits me today.

I'm wearing black nailpolish. It suits me today.

Firstly, because I was at a Halloween party yesterday.

Secondly, because I'm in a bad mood.
I'm tired. I'm angry.

I'm tired because I had that party and did not sleep enough, and that while I also had not yet caught up on the sleep that I missed during exam week.
I'm angry because evolution could have done better when it comes to teeth. Having to go to the dentist twice a year for checkup; the ridiculousness of wisdom teeth: why have them if they have to be taken out with almost everyone??
I'm also angry because I didn't do any homework today, AGAIN.


It's now a couple of hours later, and Food, Family and televFision have brought me a better mood. You might be able to guess that I had to go to the dentist today, and that he told me that my wisdom teet have to be extracted. It's not that I'm scared of the dentist, he just annoys me and makes me feel ridiculous, laying there with my mouth wide open.

The Halloween party was great though.

I never expected that I would still be active on this blog after a year. Yet here I am, posting messages and still liking it. In fact, I am liking it more and more with everytime I post something; I've grown attached to it.

Honestly, I never ever ever ever expected it would turn out to be like this.

But I really love that it did.

I am

So, university life has started again. New studies, new people, new fun, new homework.

Take one guess which one I'm avoiding right now.

I haven't done anything last week too, so I really MUST do something. Because this is not really something I can learn without putting any effort into it. As one of my teachers said: "The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it." If you don't put anything into it, you will not get anything out of it. So then why am I typing this, I have to go go go learn learn learn!

Oh, btw, I got bangs cut. But I'm still not sure whether I like or hate them.

I had a lovely holiday; amazing weather and Italy is beautiful.

Now holiday is over and as of today, I am officially an English student.

And I'm very, very anxious to see what this year will bring me... I hope a lot of happiness and positiveness and beingamazingatEnglishness.

YAY HOLIDAY

I think that rhymes because you're meant to say YAY when you talk about HOLIDAY

So far, I've spent mine mostly with watching the entire first season of Glee. LIKE!
Next week at this time I'll be in Italy. DOUBLE LIKE!

About Me, or: An Incomplete List Of Things I Love And Things I Hate

I love
...books that make me cry
...my iPod touch (although it makes me want to have an iPhone)
...pretty clothes
...learning new, interesting things
...  
...
...random facts
...long voluminous red hair
...walls that are bookcases

...OK Go music videos
...ending a sentence with three dots...
...the happy feeling I've got after I went running
...looking at fashion models, at their beautiful photographs and making myself jealous of them
...travelling by train, it relaxes me (as long as I'm not in a hurry)
...the beauty of nature/the world
...reading. Books. Magazines. Newspapers. Advertisements. Ingredients. Anything.
...being smart, and being able to go to university
...bangs like hers:

...listening to music I didn't know yet, and then being surprised because it is really good
...studying how the human body works. I like to use my own body as a model for anatomy
...the Louvre museum in Paris
...being fascinated, interested, amazed
...my family
...my friends

I hate
...when I want to get to bed early and totally fail at it
...having a great thought, only to have forgotten it just seconds later
...having to go to the toilet to shit when other people are home, or even worse: when I'm not home
...that I'm not beautiful
...politics. So much random talking...
...that I am kind of a passive/shy/quiet person
...not having the discipline to diet; or:  ...that I'm not one of those people that can eat anything without gaining a pound
...that certain things have to be learned before you can do them. Why can't you think: I want to play the piano, or: I want to speak French fluently, and then simply instantly be able to do that?
...insects
...having too much music, so I can never choose what to listen to, and am not able to listen to some great songs as often as I would want.
...Marlies Dekkers bras
...that with age comes healthproblems. Just wisdom would be nicer.
...jewelry

I'm in this weird mood, in which I

1. don't care about anything anymore, but
2. do want to cry really bad

For reason, read 2 posts back. I'm counting down... just two more days to go after tonight.

Best Grease watching-experience ever

I just watched Grease

...with German dubbing XD

Just one more week of internship, and then:

HOLIDAY

One more week of working my ass off to write the report. It will be awfully boring, but I should be able to survive just one more week of boringness and irritation, right?

My biggest obstacle will be avoiding fun websites, like facebook and all the cheezburger network websites that I discovered during this internship. Boy, did I waste a lot of time of failbook and roflrazzi and fail blog and demotivationals and also youtube... haha. But well, I could afford to waste time so why wouldn't I?
XD

But anyway, the challenge will be to block the internet and focus on writing the most boring report ever a great report on all the fun and useful things I did there! And, you know, I actually like to write, so it shouldn't be as boring as it is. But I was told I have to write more scientifically, and apparantly scientific writing means: 'writing a text in an as boring as possible manner, while copying as many sentences from other people with your own methods/results inserted'.

To start getting in the scientific writing-mood, I will continue to write this blog post as boring as possible: blablablablablabla I should go to bed but I don't want to but it's already 2 after midnight so I think I will go sleep anywayyy blablablaba
bla
bla
blaaaaaaaaaah

Heavy in your Arms really became my New Favourite Song, I love it só much. I love the chorus with the contrast of Florence 'screaming' the lyrics and background-Florence singing them really low. And listening to 3:00, with my eyes closed, gives me the chills.

I was really looking forward to hearing this song live, hoping it would not disappoint as much as my Former Favourite Song, cosmic love, did in live performance; 'cause that song really loses its magic when performed live.
..but then I saw this: it sucks :(



Well, at least the cover that comes after it is awesome. So she CAN be a great live singer, then why is she so far off sometimes???

Today finished the book Breaking Dawn, from the Twilight series.

It makes me want to be a vampire.

What an odd desire.

Yesterday was feet in the sand. Yesterday was nice weather. Spending time with my family. Watching beachhandball, pirouettes and backwards throws. Chilling on the beach with great music on my iPod. Yesterday was the sea, and it was no worries at all.

Yesterday was close to perfect.

A brand new Florence and the Machine song, from the Twillight: Eclipse soundtrack (which is great, like all Twilight soundtracks; they makes me discover so many great new artists!)
...and it rocketed to my top 2 favourite fatm songs <3

Waoh, voting is hard!

It's só frustrating that it's impossible to agree on everything with a certain party, there will always be some things that you don't agree on. So voting is really trying to pick the least bad party and that sucks.

But I think I've made my choice! I did some tests, read opinions and watched the final debate (but GOD was that boring, so to be honest, I watched but did not listen :p) and alltogether it turns out I am a bit on the left side.

It will be my first time to vote, I'm a bit scared but also excited.!

Time...

...I wish I had more of it.

Or actually:
Things I have to do that I don't want to spend my valuable time on...
...I wish I had less of them. (*cough* dumb internship *cough* did you hear anything? I didn't, I especially did not hear myself say dumb intership, why would you think that? I must have been the wind)

blugh

I am looking for both my motivation and my discipline. Did anyone see them? I need them, since I have a course that I failed twice already because I hadn't done all too much for it (OK I actually barely did anything). It is a very difficult course though, and I need to know a lot of details, so if I want to pass it now I HAVE to make all my self study assignments.

HELP ME, have you seen either of them, please contact me!





:') I know I am pathetic and need to stop pitying myself and go study :')

Quite the dilemma: shall I do the dishes now or tomorrow morning?

I just found out that the word 'flu' comes from the name of the virus, influenza.
The simpleness of some things in life can really make me happy.

But some things are so complicated that all they do is make me confused.
Love is such a thing.

It is not hard to imagine what the person who named the flu, flu thought. But when it comes to love, I really wish humans had the capability of knowing what other people (or more specifically: boys) think.

This weekend was so summer-like, it truly felt like holiday.
It was so good that it is almost mean that it is colder again now.

Although I have to work, so I would not have been able to enjoy the sun anyway. Bad weather does make working more bearable. Even if it's just because my room gets hot like a green house when it is above 20 degrees.

I went to Paris this weekend! It was quite impulsive and quite amazing!

I feel a lot like a student at the moment: my dinner consisted of a lot of chocolate cookies.

Regina Spektor is a genius

I love Regina Spektor, she is truly a genius.

I listened to Human of the year this afternoon in the train. When she sang the sentence that titles the song, it felt like my heart hurt from the perfectness of it. The story and beautiful singing are love.

And she seems so cute, smiling all the time when singing...



Her lyrics are really good also, these are some that I really love:


"This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath"

"and the sea is just a wetter version of the sky"

But, no matter what: anyone who is capable of doing this kind of multitasking, is a genius:

I WANT SPRING AND SUN

"It is not about what you want, it is about what you need"

Allright then:
I NEED TO GO TO BED because I already know now that I will exhausted tomorrow as I have to get up early and do boring stuff all day long tomorrow
Somehow, it is really hard to actually get to bed early when I am tired. Especially since I live on my own.

My favourite word in the English language is

though

Just because of it's beautiful, soft soft sound.

Ththththththoughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This picture was on someone elses blog. The title was: Ever felt like this?


The answer is Yes.

I do want to take that jump more often though.

Helloooooooooooo I feel like writing something but I don't know what I should write about.

So now I am thinking: I could leave it to this, or I could write some random facts. And since the second option is way more fun, that will be it!

I am bored (well, that's actually not a fun random fact. But I have to start somewhere, right?)
The reason of that is: my TV doesn't work.
That's my neighbours' fault, he caused a short-circuit to happen.
Now, I've moved my lamp and all of the extension cords to the one electric socket that does work (wanted to move the TV as well, but that didn't work sadly;) ) and I am sitting in a corner of my room with a lot of wires.
The wire for internet is exactly long enough to go to this corner of the room, and it is now all across the room from one corner to the other and I have to walk over or underneath it if I want to go to the other side of the room.
And still the thing that annoys me most is that I cannot watch TV.

Well, that weren't random facts, they were all related. So now come some really random ones, mmmkay?

I'm listening to Noah and the Whale and I think I love them.
I want to dye my hair red, but I am afraid to do so, because I am scared it will look awful on me.
I want to cut a fringe in my hair, but I am afraid to do so, because I am scared it will look awful on me.
When writing the previous facts, I looked up the following words because I didn't know what they were in English: short-circuit, extension cords, electric socket. I guess electricity is not my thing.
Today I found out that Scarlett Johansson can actually sing. And then I wondered why she sounds so electronic on her CD.
I'm tired of this, because now I can only think of depressing random facts.
I think I am going to sleep.

So, I moved into my new 'house'. It is a room in a huge flat, where only students live. I share the shower and the toilet with some other people, as well as the (smelly and messy, aka studenty ;)) kitchen.
It is only a ten minute walk away from the university, so the location is really good.
This weekend I moved here, and I really like my room now, it feels cosy and it even already feels like home.
I am truly happy to have this room and to live here, it saves me a lot of time traveling, and I can meet my friends more often, which were the main reasons I wanted to move, so I've got what I wanted...
BUT for the very first time in my life I feel homesick :(

I think it is because I know that my parents are so sad, and miss me (although they are happy for me!).
And to be honest: I miss them, and also my brother, too...

So: mixed feelings.................. :( :D :( :D

'Now sing it with me, or I'll fucking cry...'

I´m still not sure if she is super awesome, or just really weird.
But I am sure she's got talent. A whole lot of it, actually.

This not my favourite song of hers, but I love this version because it shows her incredible diversity. She's really at her best when she sings acoustic versions.

I can cross off the first thing on my list, BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE!!!

YAY!

Happy New Year!

I hope 2010 will be a good year! For me, as well as for you :)

This year I want to:
-find a place to live in the city where I go to university, asap
-lose weight
-make a decision about what I will do next collegeyear
-go to a festival
-do well in school, especially: get a good grade for that course that I already failed twice
-learn how to use Photoshop
-don't stop writing on this blog
-have lots and lots of fun with friends
-love
