'It must be a different view. To be a me without you'

- Nada Surf, Inside of love

(I'm telling you, I'm in love with these guys!)

Today there was a storm, almost as bad as this guy:

(sorry Guus)

Suicide Dolphin

Oké, real quick, we lost. But I'm very proud of 'our guys', they did a good job!

Today, I saw a video of a dolphin in Japan. During one of those dolphin shows, he tried to jump out of the pool. And he actually did!
I'm very confused to how this can happen, but they all talked japanese, so I didn't really understand what they were saying...
This is very rare I hope, but then I read in a comment, that a critic tought he tried to kill himself..

Dude, you REALLY think a dolphin wants to commit suicide? I mean, they're smart, not stupid!
The owner thought he was just fooling around. Well, owner, I just think your pool is not right for your dolphins! But who am I to tell you this..

Yesterday, I went to a concert of Nada Surf!
Those guys are just A-MA-ZING! You should really check them out!
They were so relaxed on stage, they gave someone in the audience €65,- and said: 'Go get yourself a drink, give the rest to the bartender. The rest of you guys, go get a drink!' :D

After the show, the leadsinger even gave a private, acoustic little concert for us. Just because he couldn't do 1 song during the show, he said: 'come to the merchandise, and I'll play the song for you.' He ended up playing 10 other songs!

At home I found out they were somewhere around 40. How awesome would it be, to go around the world, doing that one thing you love the most, earn your money with it, and be 40-something! :) Most 40-something guys sit around in their office. Cool to, but I'd like the nada-surf-lifestyle!

I guess I'll see you soon then.

Always read the small letters: Hate to disappoint you... I watched Twilight yesterday. Oké, calm down, I know it's not me,and I should have warned you. I'm sorry, but I have an explanation. I thought, I need to get an opinion about this hype. I didn't really like it, because everybody is all: aaaaaah, edward.. aaaaaaaaah, Jacob... aaaaaah Twilight... Who's the director then? aaaaaaaah I don't know...aaaaaah Jacob!!
But I watched it. And I have to say, I did enjoy it, just a little bit. I mean, it's not the best storyline in the world, and it's not the best actingperformace I've ever seen. But it's alright. It's like a bad romantic movie :P

By the way: I'm on team Edward.....

By the way II: the director is Catherine Hardwicke, just in case ;)

Soccer!

Today I learnt how to post video's, so here we are!

Tomorrow is THE game! Exciting? Ow yes! I will be the most orange girl tomorrow you have EVER seen!
And Sneijder has a new fan. I like the little man! :D

A good friend sent me this video, and I loved it!

First: the original.

And now listen to this one! :D

I absolutly love those guys! Amazing! :D How they try to make a lovely romantic song into a tough, cool number! I think they did a pretty good job!

Today I had a volleybal-tournament. In my neighbourhood we have a street-tournament, where all the street volleybal against each other to win the 'big' trophy!

It's pretty fun, but when it's 37 degrees Celcius outside, it's not that much fun any more. So we decided to put up a swimmingpool next to the field. Suweeet! :D

(we didn't win, but that doesn't matter. We were defenitely the MOST awesome team! :D)

Who's spider is that?

Subject: Whose spider is that?

Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.

Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95. Please make this payment as soon as possible.

Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion.

Regards, David.

I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it.

Regards, David.

Ola!

Oké, so, this is new for me. Exciting. I'v been reading a lot of blogs lately, and I'm hooked. So here I am, just a girl, not knowing how to do this. Give me some time and I'll get used to it!

I'll be droping my stuff here. Leave cool quotes, leave not so cool quotes, random stories, experience, stuff like that. (I'm probably the only one who reads this, but still)

I want to capture things. My laptop crashed a month ago, and the guy from the store trew my old hard disc away without even trying to fix it. ARGH!!! On that hard disc were A LOT of my memories. Which sounds crazy, but ALL my photo's from New York and Norway were on it (and no, I did not make a back up. Stupid! I know!) So, therefore I'm going to start a blog, and try to save some memories here (the only thing that can go wrong, is me forgetting my password.. but then, I hope they'll sent me an e-mail:D)

So, I'm going to figure it out now! :D

I'll see you soon then! (first quote! Dear John!)
