You know how you sometimes lose faith in love. Allright, you know how I sometimes lose faith in love. Well, I just watched the perfect movie if that feeling ever comes up again. It is called 'Paper Heart'. I love the title. Here is a trailer:
It is such a cool concept. It looks as though they are making a documentary but at the same time you are already sort of watching a documentary. It was new to me and I fairly enjoyed it. I am telling you if you love Michael Cera (check) and if you are akward (at least with love)(double check) then you will enjoy this movie too. It is the sweetest.
So for all those of you out there who should be studying but want to find something way more fun-crapping-tastic to do, this is your shot. This is the movie you want to see. After watching this movie you'll sort of have faith in love again. Sort of.
I love autumn. It is one of my favorite seasons. After summer, spring and winter. I'm an all season girl! Back to autumn loving: the colors of the leaves are beautiful and the wind that rages through the streets is pretty nice!
In preparation to the icy cold winter we are suppose to face I am knitting my own scarf. Yes, you read that right. I am knitting like an old grandma. It is very fun to do actually. Look how far I've come:
It used to be twice as long and nearly finished, but then my little brother had a birfday party and all my family members were against my scarf (except my awesome cousin, she was totally rooting for my 'old' scarf!) It was to long, and warm and it looked like a blanket. So, I decided, after a lot of peer pressure, to say goodbye to my little friend and start a new scarf. This is the result so far. Huzzaa for Robin's knitting!
FRIENDS! FRIENDS! FRIENDS! This is my hundredth post! Sweet! Are you still loving it?
To celebrate this I thought I'd give you a video of one of the coolest chicks on this planet:
She is just the sh*t! I mean, who can dress up their bandmates as doctors, sing while doing a backward rollover and wear wings on her head. Only a girl called Robyn can do that. I can do that to! It is all in the name!
Another cool chick is Ellen by the way. I read her book "The funny thing is.." and I read it in one afternoon. She is just so super duper funny! Incredible! This video is very funny. Taylor Swift gets to meet her biggest fan and that girl is just the sweetest and most annoying girl at the same time. She cries all the way trough it. And Ellen is being a little mean but still very funny. Check it:
My favourite part is by far 3:33! It is so funny but a little bit sad but SOOOO funny!! Aaaah, I love Ellen!
The other night, my bestie and I had a game night! Hell yeah! No computer, no television, no smart phones, no stupid phones just plain board games. We played The Settlers of Catan.
Now I have to tell you a story. I am a terrible, horrible, dreadful gameplayer. I lose e-ve-ry single game. But I am not a bad loser because for me, playing a game is just for fun. True story. I'm not the kind of girl who throws the whole board away after losing a game, or who is grumpy for a whole week or cheats as soon as she might not win. Nope, not me. I just change the rules.
For example, the game Risk. You know, that game where you have to kill everybody and everything that comes your way in order to rule the world... muhahahaha. Yes, that game. Well, the goal is to, as I said, get all the countries. That is if I'm not playing. When I am playing Risk, the goal is to lose all your countries as SOON AS POSSIBLE!! Guess what.. I ALWAYS WIN!!! WHOOP WHOOP!! See, I'm not a bad loser.
OK, going back to our game night. We played The Settlers of Catan. Guess what. I WON! This game might be the one and only game I can actually win. Hip hip hurray! I lost the second round.
Still, it is all about the fun and we had some! See, my bestie moved to the other side of the country. She is now a fabulous student and I am a proud mama but we don't see each other as much as I would like to. However, when we are together.. WORLD! WATCH OUT! We are dangerously fun! I am not even joking! Got a lot of love for that girl! OK, enough with the emotional shizzle, let's watch a fun video:

Yesterday was a major-decision-making-day. I decided to go to London in January and go get any kind of Cambridge diploma. That is a happy decision. For this happy decision I had to cut a lot of fun. Since London isn't the cheapest city I have to make some big money. The V&D only won't be enough, so I decided to become a hooker. I am telling you, that shit makes big money! I'm kidding, I will never do that. No, I just decided to become a brain surgeon, not that difficult most people are already screwed up as it is! OK, cut to the chaise, I decided to quit playing games and quit volleybal. Ouch! My heart just broke a little bit. I have to tell you I seriously think volleybal is one of the coolest sports EVAH! Isn't it strange how one Mr. William G. Morgan just decided to mix basketball, basebal and tennis together and started a completely different game? Thanks dude! It hurts to stop playing after 10 years, but desperate times need desperate measures.
I also decided to stop my photography course. Damn sister, everything I like is gone. Now it is time to work my butt off and earn some healthy money.
Now, ladies and gentleman, this girl has been in the Netherlands for long enough and will soon depart to London to have a wicked awesome time! Whoop whoop! 100-SECOND DANCE PARTAY!!
Sure, you can come visit me. I'll be having my own apartment. No worries.
I was just cycling around in the city, trying to find an extra job because I want to go to China and America and England and that's all very expensive. So, while I was waiting for the red light to change (did you know that an average person waits 2 weeks of his/her life for the light to change. Talking about a waste of time) a guy came passing by. Now, that is not weird but for some reason he looked really nice and kind. This might be a little embarrassing but it felt like he could be my best friend. OK, this is super weird to tell, but I have to. It was a very strange feeling in my tummy, maybe butterflies, but it made me happy. Gosh, this is awkward. It didn't get any worse. None of these thoughts came out on the street. I didn't poor my heart out while he raced away because I was chasing him. We'll never know if we were going to get a little house, a little cat, a little kid and live happily ever after. Dum dum DUM. Face palm.
Hi, my name is Robin. I'm an addict. (Hi, Robin) It started when I was in Norway. The coolest girl introduced me to Glee. (oeh) Yes, it is true. We watched it together, even though she was already a 'gleek'. I enjoyed it. It was great being able to watch episode after episode without having to wait for another week. So, after season one ended, I had to wait for season 2, since it wasn't airing yet. I was used to watching Glee, but since there were no new episodes I decided to find a new series. And there came One Tree Hill. Now, this show had been on television for a while with the result that there were a lot of episodes waiting for me. A hundred and eighty-eight. 8 seasons. It all happened very quickly. I started downloading it. Watching episode after episode. Started losing sleep, my school work suffered. It came to a point where I would study in the library for my exams, bring my laptop and watch an episode because then my parents wouldn't find out. That must have been my lowest point. After I finished the old episodes of One Tree Hill, I could continue with the new ones since the show hadn't finished yet. Season 9 will be the last one and I'm still not sure if I'll be able to handle it. Anyway, a new Glee season started and meanwhile I also started watching How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, Chuck, Off The Map and Rookie Blue. These are all still running series which makes it really difficult for me to keep track on which show aires when. Therefore I made a schedule so that I don't have to miss any of my series.
This all happened in early 2011. During the summer break I felt restless. The shows all had a break, I get that the actors need vacation too, but I felt very uncomfortable. I had too much spare time and I didn't know what to do with it. So, I started searching on IMDB for new searies and came across Friday Night Lights. This show has changed my life. Fortunalty, there were 5 seasons waiting for me. Unfortunatly the show has already stopped, so after spending a lot of my summer vacation behind my laptop screen laughing, bursting out into tears, raging of anger and biting my nails of fear I fell in that scary black hole again.
Again, I sought comfort in IMDB and found new series. This time it was Awkward. This serie is one of my favorite. It is very funny. Next to Awkward there was Everybody Hates Chris, which has a lot of seasons waiting for me. Even though I had all these series, I decided to watch New Girl. This has been the best decision in my life. Everybody should watch New Girl. The show is about a girl who has been dumped by her boyfriend. Now don't start immediately with the: 'Oh, classic. Of course, you're a girl, you need that kind of affirmation that you still have a chance to find the love of your life and that true love still exists' because in this show that is NOT the case. There are only 2 episodes up until this point, but that are some rocking, kick-ass episodes! I mean it! She found a new appartment on craigslist and now she lives with 3 guys. It is wicked awesome. The show makes me want to find an appartment with three of those guys. I know how it'll probably end, she ends up dating one of the three and it doesn't work out jadaajadaajadaa. IT IS STILL AWESOME!! I mean Zooey Deschanel is amaziing and she keeps making theme songs for herself. HELLOW, SUPER COOL!
So, this is me confessing. I don't think I will ever heal from this disease and I'm OK with that. I'll manage. Thank you for listening.
