Molting

I’m MOLTING! Yeah, pretty gross pic, huh? Gross to you I mean, it’s me doing it so I’m not really fussed. Am I the only one who can’t stop from peeling myself after a sunburn? I guess it’s probably one of those things like popping zits or sticking your fingers in places and then sniffing them. You know, things most …

Back Home Dream

I dreamed that my friend Peggi had some horrible disease. For some reason we went to cabin with all these girls, supposedly my sisters. Priest from OZ removes labret and says that it’s to show I care about Peggi’s illness. I really don’t want to take it out but he does it anyway and pokes another hole more to the …

Damn Kids…

This is one of the kids in my neighbourhood. Isn’t he a peach?! Whoever coined the term Poster child for birth control absolutely must have known this kid’s parents.As many of you know we live across a parking lot from a facility for the mentally handicapped. Outside this place they have a playground with big wooden swings, little pools, and …

Dead Like Me

Tonight we went biking again, we stayed out for about 40 minutes. The longest I’ve gone yet was 50 minutes and it was really hot out as well. It was somewhat cooler this evening because it was about to rain. This is a good thing because it’s cut the heat a little and finally I can sit in my own …

Exercisey?

Well I’m sitting here wrapped in my Toronto Blue Jays towel after the most dreamy shower ever. I swear there’s nothing that feels better than a shower just after doing something exercisey (Is exercisey a word?). It’s funny because my head gets so hot, when I get in the shower the water will be really nice and hot on my …

Moisture Trails

It’s been so hot here, it’s horroble. Isn’t it typical that we’d have nice cool weather right up until Merijn gets here… then it’s so humid I can’t even wiggle my toe without sweating! I feel bad because I really have absolutely no desire to go outside. It’s beautifully cool inside the apartment and it’s sickening outside. I don’t want …

Walk or Bike

It’s a beautiful day in the Netherlands today. It’s 25 degrees and the sun is shining.. You’d be able to see the weather here on my website if that damn Weather Pixie was working. I put it on my site ages ago, it was from www.weatherpixie.com, which appears to just be gone. Just like that.. *poof* I don’t know what’s …

Bites

I can’t sleep and this is why. It’s 15 degrees outside with humdity of 94% and not a breath of air. It may as well be 40 degrees. Together with the lack of screens in this country, this is the result.. mosquito bites, and lots of them. This is just one of the bites I got while trying to sleep …

Godsend

I just finished watching this movie with Xander. I HATE IT! I only hate it, of course, because it startled me a lot. I love scary movies but I HATE being startled (So for those of you who might consider sending me one of those fucking online things that look nice and suddenly a scary face jumps out at you.. …

Where I Am

Ever wonder where I sit when I type this? Well this is it! I took these pictures yesterday after Xander and I cleaned up. The livingroom used to look different and I was getting tired of it. We started out at like 9:30 moving the furniture around, throwing things away and figuring out what we wanted to do with it. …
