It is time to clean up!

When a girl finds out she is going to travel for the next three weeks, she needs to clean up. No, I do not mean her room, but her Ipod. In my case, a fake Ipod but who gives a pony..

So, I decided (while still unpacked) to clean up my fake Ipod. Here is a short report:
I came to notice that there is an overdosis of Coldplay hanging around on my musical machine. Not a bad thing though! I also saw that I have a couple of never-listen-never-delete-songs. To name one: Dolly Parton - Here you come again. Great song, I just never listen to it.

I am usually a intro-kinda gril so when I play music it's like: intro - next - intro - next - intro - next - intro - oeh nice song - listen to it a little bit longer - next - yes GREAT song - listen to the whole song until the end almost comes - next. It is very difficult for me to listen to a whole song. I always need to be the one that pushes the button for the next song.

For those of you who don't know, I prefer the cd over the fake Ipod. Yes, I do still own a discplayer. I'll give you a picture to remind you what it looks like:

Remember? For the record, mine is not as fancy! This one can read mp3-files as well, mine only reads cd's!

I prefer cd's over fake ipods because I'm a addicted-to-one-artist/band-listen-to-it-for-way-too-long-until-you-dislike-it-and-then-go-on-to-the-next-one-and-do-the-same-thing-all-over-again-kinda girl. And a cd is a great solution for my fake Ipods-shuffle problem. The problem with that one is that he/she/it always picks the wrong songs. I know my fake Ipod should only have cool songs, and it does, but sometimes you just don't want to hear that particular song.

Oh, and I also have a guilty pleasure on my fake Ipod. It is spicy, and they are girls, If you know what I mean. You are allowed to bust a move on this song:


(You just got of your seat and danced like a madman. It's ok, so did I)

Having admitted that, I should go packing. You know, tomorrow I leave for this awesome railroadtrip trough England and it is going to be totally awesome. I just have yet to pack. Yes, I am on time. As always! Bye! See you in a few weeeeeeeeeeeeks! :)

Amusement parks and animals go together like ramma lamma lamma a ding gadi dinga dong

Today, I went to the Efteling, with my friends. It is an awesome amusement park with all kinds of superfast rollercoasters and a lot of fairytales! We had a blast.

Today, I also came to realize that I just love animals and humans working together. There was a show at the amusement park that used birds, horses and humans fighting a big robot-bird. It can not get any awesomer (apparently, I was the only one who tought about the show that way, the rest of my amusement-park-gang wasn't very amused) Of course the human knights and there horses won. It was epic. I fell in love with the red-knight. I have yet to write my letter to him, in which I will explain my love for his heroic appearance and his bravery.

The next item in my human-animal-working-together-love is this video:



I laughed my ass off when I saw this video. I mean, Outkast is Awesome! And the animals in this video are just superdudes! They can sing! Especially the owl: 'forever ever, forever ever, forever ever?' As well as all the "ooeeeeeh" moments! Aaah, I enjoy this!

Update!

Guys, meet my new friend:

This is Backpack. Backpack will join me and Marieke on our 4-week-interrail trip through England & Scotland. How cool is that?! I am so stoked! It is going to be Aaaaaaa-mazing! Backpack here will be my buddy through thick and thin, trough rain (hopefully, since it can rain pretty bad in England & Scotland) and sun (hopefully,, since it can rain pretty bad in England & Scotland)

I thought you might wanted to know what cities we will be visiting, so I made a little map for you. I worked hard on it! And it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it. Deal with it:


Fantastic! Let's go! Wait, I first have to pack and pray I passed my exams. I'm leaving next Thursday! *5 second dance party* Super psyched!

Remember that picture of my little bit messy room? Well, I cleaned it. I tried to take a picture of it, but it was so clean and bright that the camera couldn't handle it. And 1 thing: you don't know what you got... until you have cleaned your room. I found so many things I thought I lost. It is awesome! Should do that more often!

Now, I will go and put some are in my inflatable chair I got as a birfday present! Whoop whoop!

A day at work

I've been working at the V&D for about a month now. The V&D is like a shopping mall, only a little bit smaller. Things I learned from working there: I am a terrible, horrible gift wrapper. It is true. I am. And what is the WORST floor to work at when being a terrible gift wrapper? Exactly, the toy department. All the toys are huge, and I always get too little wrapping-paper. My worst case was with a toaster (I know, that is not a toy) The sixt time I got the right amount of wrapping-paper, all the other five times it was too small and therefore didn't fit. The guy that bought the toaster was not very happy with it and decided to wrap it himself and asked for wrapping-paper. The first time was too small again.
The toys that I stumble upon are also horribly shaped. There is not 1 toy that is square and easy to pack. Only the puzzles, but those aren't sold very often. Even when it is square-shaped I suck at gift wrapping. I suppose it is another one of my super duper handy talents I own.

Another floor you absolutely do not want to work at as a clumsy-sucky-gift-wrapper is the tableware department. Why not? Well, because literally e-ve-ry-thing on that floor can fall and break into a bazillion pieces. It is bound to happen one day, and I warn my boss, it is going to cost you (or me)(probably me)(dammit)
On top of that, tableware is deadly to pack. It is mission impossible, I tell you. I am yelling at the wrapping paper, telling it to hug the gift, but it is fighting me like a warrior. After I have finally conviced the wrapping paper, I already have another battle waiting for me, and that is the tape versus the gift wrapper. Instead of sticking to the wrapping paper, it sticks to my fingers. You do not belong there, amigo. Go away, stick your body to the paper.

Meanwhile, the customers are waiting and either laughing at me or getting angry because their gift looks horrible.

When the tape is finally on the paper and of my fingers, I have already thought about how I am going to fit this gift into a bag. Because of all the impossible shapes things have these days, it is quite difficult to fit it into a bag. That is another struggle I have to face in front of the loyal customer (who is waiting for about 10 minutes now)

Sometimes I forget to get of the price sticker. Gosh, I am not the smartest gift wrapper the V&D has. Oh well, at least the customer has a little entertaiment. I am glad I could help with that.

So, if you are looking for some entertaiment, go to the V&D, get the craziest shaped toy you can find. Get some tableware and some pillows (I just LOVE checking out pillows) Ask me to gift-wrap it all apart but you would like the cup and saucer wrapped together (that is my favorite) To end it all, you would like to know the pricing off the bed sheets and if you can get a discount. You probably won't and the bed sheets are very expensive so, after you have talked about it with your friend for about 3 minutes, you decide you don't want it. That would be my heaven on earth, that would just make my day!
