Messing about for a bit. I'm not quite happy with the colors yet, so I guess that'll change a bit still. But I'm in a reddy mood these days, so...

Also, look how cute I was as I little kid!

Damnit, why won't certain of my US friends move to Europe already? Tori Amos will be performing here soon, and I would LOVE to go. However, I can't seem to think of anyone here who might want to go with me, and going alone is no fun. Right about now, having Star f'ex, living nearby would be a VERY good thing. But then, I complain about the fact ( Read more... )

I'm being awfully unproductive, so I'll update here for a bit - as long as I'm typing, I at least LOOK productive. Which is useless, but better than nothing anyways ( Read more... )

I am:
12%
Republican."You're a tax-and-spend liberal democrat. People like you are the reason everyone else votes for guys like Reagan or George W."

Are You A Republican?

Wow... I scored above zero!

So Monday I have to turn in two more chapters for my paper and the rewrite of the first two, and I postponed doing stuff about that far too long. Now that would've been okay - hard work this weekend, but I can deal with that. However, yesterday I started sneezing and then last night I woke up every 30 minutes or so till 4am because I had to blow my ( Read more... )

Some of you may know that the Netherlands have a layered education system. After primary school, you can go to one of five levels of secondary school, from "lowest" to "highest": IVBO, VBO, MAVO (all three four years, and these days, usually joined), HAVO (5 years) and VWO (6 years, and sorta-split into atheneum and gymnasium, with the difference ( Read more... )

I am finally (after two days of being unproductive in the extreme) working on my paper again, re-writing what I'd done so far - both for editing reasons and to translate. The teacher who's overlooking the whole project, Rafaele, offered that I could write in English if I wanted to, and by Gods, am I glad I took her up on that. English is easier for ( Read more... )

I've pretty much always known that I drowned when I was two. Don't remember it happening, but my parents have never made a secret out of it, so I know what happened, how it happened, how much the ER sucked when my dad came in with a 2-year-old who had needed CPR twice by then and was far colder than she should be ("I'm sorry, sir, we're busy right ( Read more... )

I just watched the funeral of the Pope - that is, I had the TV running while doing other things. I cried. The service was beautiful, and I found it wonderful to see how deeply loved John Paul II was. Before the litany, the entire square burst out cheering his name, and asking for his sanctification. It went on for minutes, and if the Cardinal hadn' ( Read more... )
