6 weeks to go

Here's me, just 6 more weeks to go before the wee one gets out. I'm getting sooo nervous just thinking about it...

18.08.1990 - 7.6.2007

Odie has come to pass. My lovely white fluffy deaf blind senile dog has passed away. Even in his old days he still tried to swim, but he couldn't play footy anymore. Every time you cuddled him he trembled.

He has had a wonderful life, he was almost 17, that's 116 in human years...

I will miss him, he's been a big part of my life afterall... Met zijn pootjes en vooral zijn nageltjes op het parket, trippel trippel... So please, when you this, take a moment and think about him, even if you didn't know the smelly dog...

But i absolutely adored his nose, which was the only part of him that still worked

and still was as black as when he was a puppy...

all families are psychotic

"Our lives are geared mainly to deflect the darts thrown at us by the laws of probability. The moment we're able, we insulate ourselves from random acts of hate and destruction. It's always been there - in the neighbourhoods we built, the walls between our houses, the wariness with which we treat the unknown.

Ond person in six million will be struck by lightning. Fifteen people in a hundred will experience clinical depression. One women in sixteen will experience breast cancer. (...)

A day in which nothing bad happens is a miracle, a day in which all the things that could have gone wrong didn't. The dull day is a triumph of the human spirit, and boredom is a luxury unprecendented in the history of our species"

Quote from 'all families are psychotic'

wonderful novel by douglas coupland

the book was litteraly devoured by my cats,

thank god i already finished the first chapter

books

Ok, need some advice on which books to buy. I've recently bought two 'easy reading' novels (good laughs, or a great emotional crusade)

'Actually Merde' about a Englishguy in France, and

'Queen Mum'. I also bought

'all families are neurotic' by the lovely douglas coupland. Haven't read it so far,but since we've got a very long weekend, and it will rain cats and dogs (as long as they're not my cats ;o)) i will have loads of time to read, but unfortunately, no inspiration....

Now, I like the weird, funny novels, so if you've got some advice what to buy... SHOOT! Thanks a bunch (of daisies).

blind melon

I don't feel the suns comin' out today

its staying in,

its gonna find another way.

As I sit here in this misery,

I don't think I'll ever see the sun from here.

And oh as I fade away,

they'll all look at me and say,

and they'll say,

Hey look at him!

I'll never live that way.

But that's okay

they're just afraid to change.

When you feel your life ain't worth living

you've got to stand up

and take a look around you

then a look way up to the sky.

And when your deepest thoughts are broken,

keep on dreaming boy,

cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.

And as we all play parts of tomorrow,

some ways will work

and other ways we'll play.

But I know we all can't stay here forever,

so I want to write my words on the face of today.

and then they'll paint it

And oh as I fade away,

they'll all look at me and

they'll say,

Hey look at him and where he is these days.

When life is hard, you have to change.

Written in 1989 by shannon hoon, and altho he tragically died on october 1995, his lyrics are brilliant and so true.

prison break

My lovely yellow bird took his chance while i was in Trier, Germany. I know it's my fault, I shouldn't have gone to Germany ;) but he managed to escape from his cage and check out my living room and the especially the curtains. Basil and Hobbes (my two feline friends) were so excited about his visit. He spent at least 26 hours roaming free. (I know because a friend of mine came and took care of the cats and didn't have time to catch Kasper)... Anyway, when i got home, he was on top of the curtain, and just came to me because he was starving. So, now, i fed him, gave him some fresh water in his private pool, and he looks happy now, eventho he's hurt his wing while 'travelling'. I guess Basil and Hobbes didn't hurt him too bad because Kasper still speaks the language of cats... Yep, he meows. Freakily weird but who the heck isn't? ;)

A little purr to you, 'grin' :) Oh, and Trier was great ;) More about that later...

my lovely godson

here's Miika ;) my finnish sunshine, he's one and a half now and adorable... ;o)

absoluut brilliant, ik hou van die man...

the fray

Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

little children

mmmm...

Kate Winslet, i've loved her ever since 'heavenly creatures' and i love her more with every movie she makes... Fascinating story, about ... little children or the difficulties of growing up or letting go of the past...

lynch's freaky dream world

I won't tell more (basically cause i'm still trying to find out who's who and what's what) but go and see it. it's brilliant... and scared me to nightmares ;)

"We're the middle children of history, man.

No purpose or place.

We have no Great War.

No Great Depression.

Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.

We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars.

But we won't.

And we're slowly learning that fact.

And we're very, very pissed off. "

Fight Club

Great movie, even better book...

Cherish the moment, cherish the key

That leads to sane insanity

Cherish incompetence, cherish me

Don't ever cherish somebody who

Keeps on searching for a thing sublime

When all you need is inside of you

Everybody's waiting for springtime

Well winter can be cozy too

'winter' by K's choice

hope you'll have a great superb year with everything you're heart desires. And if not, try to enjoy it afterall... Enjoy the amazing santa...

'don't trust him too much'

I got this card from a dear friend on saturday in the bilbo. and it's true. the only person you can trust is yourself, (and in my case: all my precious friends who are so supportive right now). I love you, every single weird one of you. you mean the world to me, and you know who you are...

lyrics from 'the player'

You never broke my heart
But you tried
You never broke a law
when you lied
I was a little kid, just a child
I was a lookalike running wild
For all our horses hold
For all the shots we called
Yeah it was you who made me the player


get this song out of my head please!!!!!!!!!!

me... me??? me!!!!!!

Last week on sunday. I didn't feel too good, toothache, headache, heartache, bla bla bla, so a very pecious friend set me an assignment for this week. He told me to ask my friends and loved ones to describe me in one word.

Here are the results. No one came up with the same word twice. So am i divers or not?

Oh and, he was right, it put a gigantic smile on my face ;)


relaxed, Vital (to my questionable sanity)!Important.Beloved.Missed.Real (as in not imagined). special, daughter (guess who that was by), flamboyant (no need to translate that do I), chaotic, perverse (with a huge grin), bonvivant, sweet, spontaneous, Assured...meaning you know who you are and don't compromise yourself. The thing with the assured thing is that people can feel your confidence and self-love the second you walk into the room and it makes everyone else want to know you and talk to you. AND that's why I love you. (sorry, couldn't resist to add the whole commentary of my dearest fiancee), HOPELESSHOPE, FAN(t)A(s)TIC, wyrd ( otherwordly, different, standig out, kindred but not the strange meaning) but my favourite of all words is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Love you all, and friends or loved ones who didn't find the time nor inspiration to answer my quest, just add it under comments.

huh?

vse horoshoe konchajetsia

beautiful things won't last

sleep

to sleep
to dream
while my conscience lays besides me

the monsters are getting to me
whether it be love, lust, pain or hate

what difference does it make in the end?

°grin°

love it

lost fairy

this story started badly

a fairy lost and all alone

she searched for her fairy family

under every flower and stone

i found her sitting weeping

something a fairy should never do

but the story ended happily

when she found a friend in you

her wings began to sparkle

she knew that she was home

you know you have a fairy in your heart

you will never be alone

verses by Norma Anne Peymani

fucked up

the dark, the mobide, the tragic freaks

Is it just the weather and the fascinating death of summer
or
just my fucked up mind playing tricks?

Who knows?

if you live through this with me, I swear i'll die for you

if you live through this with me, I swear, i'll cry for you

otherwise they'll kill you

how to kiss someone passionately...

click on the link, learn and practice. If you don't learn anything new, then just practice, because kissing is the most wonderful thing ever invented... ;o)

ps: thanks to my fluffy lamafriend for the link, love ya girlie ;)

that's my life

I'm old enough to be satisfied with what I have,

and young enough to still want more

Lucky enough to have been really stupid and lived to tell about it —

cursed enough to have a good memory

Intelligent enough to understand that I still have a lot to learn,

and ignorant enough to continually prove to myself that I still haven't.

dove

check out the movie.

it makes you think.

where?

"where were you.

I thought that i knew.

What could I do

But think about you"

I haven't been feeling too good this week. Was off sick, have an infection on my vocalcords, i couldn't say 'peep' anymore, have had a sinusitis and a bronchitis (sorry don't know what those are in English, but i guess you can figure it out). I even retreated to my mummies house, just because i couldn't take care of myself. I slept during the whole week, had a lot of grogs (mmmm, i actually felt like a true pirate) and a lot of care and love from my granny ;o) . I'm feeling better now, but not quite super yet.

Where have the days gone?

So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven"

I had a magical time blowing smokey bubbles with you ....

secret

I miss you, i've missed the chance to say goodbye to you, just because you left early. But that doesn't really matter anyway...

You take care and I hope you'll find the thing you're looking for.

Love you, forever and two days x

only joking ;) or am i???

hilarious

Liz

This is the queen of Britain, Elizabeth, my precious Canadian friend overlooking the channel, in France. We had a 'kickass" time eversince we met in Gibraltar. This year she came to Europe to see MY tiny country for a change. We met in Paris to see Pearl Jam, i taught her Flemish (or at least tried to ;o)), we drove flem around, bought prixie, the vicious pixie, had tons of beer, loads of fun, sang songs with the Walloons, ;o)

Love you sweety, up to Seattle?? ;o))

Eddie in Paris

Liz - Crazy Canadian Chick- and me went all the way to Paris to see Pearl Jam perform. It was mindblowing, great fun and we had '"a killer" time ;o) And we both absolutely adore Eddie, because he's jummy and charismatic and cute and has a great voice and....

They played for more than 2 hours, the crowd was very 'British', in Paris. Loved every minute of it!

'No peudo ser la mujer de tu vida

a long way down by nick hornby

'I get weird on my own. Confused'

Masterful novel by the way. Made me laugh and shiver at the same time.

until I find you

"If you can't forgive your mother, you'll never be free of her. It's for your own sake, you know - for your soul. When you forgive someone who's hurt you, it's like escaping your skin - you're that free, outside yourself, where you can see everything."

A quote worth thinking about.

wonderful novel as well 'Until I find you', John Irving

deep thought

We can FLY as HIGH as the DREAMS we DARE to LIVE

unless we are a chicken

views

I've taken more than 500 pictures in the picturesque lake district and breathtaking scotland. So for all you guys who want to bore your brains out, or are so masochistic that you actually love seeing the views that i saw during my trip, or then again, you just want to enjoy a certain amount of alcohol and pretend you like the pictures, you're more than welcome in my mushroom. For you who are none of the above, i just tried to select the five best. Enjoy! ;o)

british fairy

I went to the uk, from south to north, from west to east, and it was breathtaking, amazing and brilliant. Saw the most spectaculair views, the terrible romantic sunsets and the scruffiest bars ;o). I didn't see pixies (cause they tend to live in cornwall and i didn't visit cornwall nor wales) but i saw fairies (cause they live in scotland). As a result, i got one tattoed on my lower back. It itches like hell at the moment, but it will be the best souvenir i ever had! (and it's made by Shane from Whitby, and he was rather cute ;o))) Enjoy.

And Henna, sweety, i know you're not into tattoos, but i least i 'm wearing the finnish rock chick panties that we both have ;o) Asolutely love them! ;o)) And since i'm Miika's fairy godmother, i thought the tattoo was quite appropriate. Love you!
