Dear Journal Viewers,

Well as many of you know or now will know, I took an amazing ten-day tour through Europe this Easter break. I wouldn't have traded it for anything, I am so thankful to my parents for giving me the oppurtunity! 
Our wonderful group of highschoolers and chaperones--35 total, went through 3 major cities (Paris, Brussels, and

You are quite the photographer! I'm impressed. :D

I am so glad you had such a great time in Europe. You're making me want to go there on vacation sometime even more!

Just look at Catherine the Great. *dreamy sigh* Not to rip McD's, but I'm lovin' it.

ahh thanks, that's the second time someone has said that about my photos:) I think my minor might be photography in college, I love it!

Go!!! It's amazing and so beautiful!!!!

haha! I'm lovin her too! She's so elusive and elegant! do have any icons for her??

[read_my_silence]

OMG! this icons is amazing =)
*squee*

=)

*hugs*

[roxierocks5]

are you talking about this one??

[crown_the_queen]

That'd be a great minor! You definitely have the talent. :)

Have to say, her elusiveness is one of the many things about her with which I'm fascinated. Ohhhhhhh, yes, do I ever have icons! These were all made back when my photoshop skills were still at a basic level, so they're definitely in need of some revamping soon. Yet, I figured I'd share them anyway: http://s280.photobucket.com/albums/kk172/randomcrazies/non-animated%20icons/

I've also just started working on some animated icons with Deneuve.

Btw, we watched Juliette Binoche "Bleu" in my Film History class the other day, and guess who's header kept flashing in my mind? ;)

omg ICONS!! Well that's probably better than I could do, computers are well, they aren't my friend lol hello, it took me this long to ask about the cut thing lol
haha! I love your icon, I watched a brief clip of Deneuve singing in 8 femmes omg *sexy* haha and it's in french lol

"Bleu" is the reason I just adore Juliette, she's so brilant in anything she does, but that film is amazing. It's painful to see her character struggling to let all of this emotion out, and fighting it. Ahhh Juliette...

[roxierocks5]

hey I went happily icon shopping in your amazing photobucket icons album:) hha as you can see:)

And your skills are AMAZING, I couldn't do that!

[crown_the_queen]

Awww, I'm so happy you could find some that you like! :D

Love the pics!
Jep Bruges is amazing, it's my favorite Belgium city. In a few weeks, we're going on a school trip to...PARIS!
So I'll post a few pics when I'm back and then it will be very quiet on my lj, exams are comming very close :S
the atomic thing as you called it, we call it the Atomium :p
Never forget that ;)
I'm so jealous you saw Versaille, I went a few times to Paris and never saw it.

*huggies from belgium*

[roxierocks5]

omg thanks so much, I loved your Berlin pics.
Also thanks for the advice on the LJ cut thing, it worked clearly!
Yeah my school year is coming to a close soon too, so I need to pass everything, so it will be quiet on my end for awhile too.
Omg have fun in Paris, eat a chocolat Crepe for me:) and just savor the moments in that magical place.
Atomium, yeah I forgot what it was called thanks for reminding me:)
Versaille is beautiful, a bit lavish lol I can see why they rebelled!
But the gardens are amazing! Maybe you'll go this time!!
Hope all is well
*hugs from America*

thank you
it's always great to get a comment from you =)
You're welcome about the lj-cut-thing.It was the first time that anybody asked me advice for a lj thing, so I was happy to help you.No we're not going to Versaille this year :'( But I'll certainly think of you when I'm looking at the Eiffel Tower.

sweet dreams (you're probably sleeping when I'm writing this :p It's 9.48 AM here)

*Chocolate hugs*

[roxierocks5]

aww well I love hearing from you too!
Yeah that LJ cut thing, let's just say I'm bad with computers so it was quite an accomplishment for me to figure that out!
Well have fun in Paris, do enjoy yourself!

haa yeah I was sleeping...I slept in late today!

btw was I anywhere near you when I was in Belgium??

[read_my_silence]

euh... so you went to Bruges, Antwerp and Brussels?
Well I live only 15 km. from Brussels so yeah you were quite close to me =)
Where do you live in the USA?

*belgian hugs*

[roxierocks5]

wow! ehhe that's awesome, had I known you before we could have met up! a few people on our trip contacted their friends who joined us some of our trip:)
I live in the Buckeye State otherwise known as Ohio--I live near Cleveland.

[roxierocks5]

Hmmm it's so awesome that you live so close to it all! Well one day I will too:) But I want to visit Finland and Sweden!

[roxierocks5]

Is that kindof like the "white nights " in Russia??
Why does it happen??
I can tell you, it get very dark in the winter here, sometimes its pitch black and it will be 5 pm..it's awful!
