Okay people, listen up! Apparently someone needs to tell this, and it's really important:
The fact that I live in the Netherlands does not mean I'm stuck in the past! Over the past few weeks people told me asked me the following things:

'Wow! They didn't dub Titanic? But how can you understand it then?'
Simple people, we had some genius who invented sub-titles. Almost every movie is played in it's ORIGINAL version. Only for the kids we dub some movies and the original version is then available as well.

'If I come to the Netherlands, won't people stare at me? I'm *insert country-name*.'
No. And why? Because there is no such thing as a Dutch culture. All kinds of races are mixed here. People don't stare at you if you are a certain race. Then we would have stiff necks of staring at each other. We are not some isolated country; we've always been a trading-nation.

'I don't speak Dutch, how will people understand me?'
Most people our age have graduated with English as a major. We know most people speak English, that's why kids from about 10 years old already start getting english lessons. Even old people speak a dash of English here!

(added by F@ceman:)
'You forgot to tell that we take shifts at putting our finger in the dykes. Each Dutch person is obligated to stand there one hour!'

So people, listen carefully!
We are not ISOLATED. We DO NOT wear clogs/ wooden shoes. There are hardly any WINDMILLS left. The tulips are ONLY at the 'Keukenhof' and some gardens; they are NOT typically dutch. We SUBTITLE the movies. MOST people speak ENGLISH. How on earth do you think I could talk to you now?!

Mm, maybe I'm this moody because I had to work 1 hour extra because there was a freaking lot of mail. Bwech. At least I heard a happy song yesterday...

We moeten DOORGAAN!
..Kijk daar loopt mijn vriendje...
We moeten...DOORGAAN!
..Hé, achter wie loopt hij nou weer aan?
We moeten DOOOORGAAAAN
....Dan maar....alleen....

(I should take my teachers to 'Idols')

Whenever I think of school today my mood drops like a canonball. Bwech! First I had some weird art instruction, and after that we could choose to do some crafts. My friend and I were building the Trojan Horse and it looked quite good. But that %&* teacher of ours kept on saying: use this material! Use this! This will make it look good! Come on, use this! AAARGH!
After that I had to wait a whole hour before I could speak with my student-counselor whatever. So, I went and showed my map with things from my school I have to teach. Last year I did it just like this; all 2 times and from both counselors I got compliments because it looked so good at the end. Now it looks crappy, but in the end it always looks great. No, mister-I'm-new-here-so-we'll-do-everything-by-the-rules-and-nothing-else-is-allowed demands I will already do (what I always did at the end) that now! That...that...MORON! Sorry, don't have any other words for it! *curses* Ruined my complete mood! Bwech, I have about a week to fix it. Sure, I'll make it- don't worry about that, but he's such a.....IDIOT (fits right in this school).
Afterwards a friend and I went to a museum called 'Van Speelklok tot Pierement'; a museum about all kinds of organs, musicboxes etc. That guy that gave the tour was really enthusiastic (with a german accent!) and let us hear really a lot! It was fun! And some song were so pretty (the only bright spot of the day).
Now I'm waiting to get back to school to get my Propedeuse. It's some weird thing; a piece of paper that tells me I'm allowed to study at the university or finish my college. Well, I was already allowed to go to University anyway. It's no big deal! They act like it's graduation! A whole fuzz about it! My friend and I think the same: we'd rather stay home.....

Thursday, November 28, 2002

Instead of giving math today, I was asked to fill in for the todler-group. The teacher had to leave and me and another teacher-student filled in for her. I told them a story I told last year and they loved it! So much, that they wanted me to tell something else! Hehe...but..problem was... I didn't knew any other story! So, I made one up, right there at that moment. It so sucked, but they liked it ^_^. They wanted ANOTHER story.
Anyway, I drew a picture which would be nice for Valentine...I wonder.... is Rocket Stevo related to Zach, by any chance?! =P. More news? I'm still tired and I still have to watch Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura. If I'm not wrong, Ruby Moon got introduced today. I'm not sure, but a weird teacher who looked familiar showed up and helped Li and Sakura. It was a 'she', but in the original manga, Ruby Moon is a guy. So... we'll see! It was with the Maze card, but I couldn't see it till the end. I taped it- as always.

Wednesday, November 27, 2002

something about having a nice dream that I can't remember and stuff.... *sighs*. And my classmates are pure dumb idiots. Sorry, it's the truth. Not all, but most of them are morons. Don't recall what I wanted to write. Woops. Anyway, I'll go an watch Buffy that I tapes last week. Yeah. And draw something while I'm at it. I'll draw a party picture for the 2 year anniversary of Serenay; just the grey lines though.
And yesterday I made a picture; in a pose I've never drawn before... yet.... it doesn't look that bad! It's actually cute well!!
Mm, can anyone draw me a Serenay Moon Valentine picture? Or Christmas? Or New Year?

Tuesday, November 26, 2002

Makoto entered the scene today. Wow... her voice sucks! It's a nice sweet voice, but it doesn't match her personality! Would have been much better for Minako or so. Oh well. Moon finally got the Moon Sceptre as it's called her. 'Power of the Moon, turn him back!'. Oh boy.. Moon Healing Escalation sounds way better. And the harvasting of the Rainbow Crystals have begun.
Okay, school today was boring. Internet is supposed to work 24/7 now again. Send me stuff. I like stuff. Not spam, stuff. Bwech... and I don't want to reply any more. ^_^. It feels like an obligation! Maybe I shouldn't go behind the computer any more.

Monday, November 25, 2002

I think I know what I have been missing. Today I so wasn't in the mood to do anything any more and I drew something. And I so missed drawing! It makes me feel so much better!
It's a pic for BlackOut, and quite special too since I haven't drawn something like that before. You'll see. It's really big and so far I only made the outline sketch! I'm doubting what to do. Or I trace it right away, or I'll make a copy of it first. I don't think copying will work that well =S. Anyway, no Uumie, I won't tell you what it is, but because of my big lack of time it will take me a while before I'll be able to finish it.
And OMG! I so love Zan! I don't know a thing about him but dang he looks GREAT! Sorry Derak, you have been replaced by the new guy from BlackOut!
I don't want to do anything any more....I'm so sick of everything; school... and especially the computer. Bwech. And I had the most ecologistic dream ever. Stop poluting the rivers... bla bla. Just about 6 more new sprites... at least

Sunday, November 24, 2002

What did I do:

+Started painting Crystal's hair
+Made a tun of new sprites and put them online

What will I do tonight:

+Printing the x-mas card
+Making the bill for the Postbank
+St. Nic.

Like you care ^_^. And Cat, I couldn't ask the day off the next day so I probably will go home afterwards >_<. Maybe we can pick a day? A saterday maybe?
Yesterday I had the most greatest dinner party! And I'm not kidding! We were laughing so hard; we had so much fun! Halfway my chest started to hurt; so hard did I laughed. And the other people were happy when they were finally finished ^_^.
Anyway, I'm tired. I simply can't sleep any more yet I'm tired. I started creating new sprites again; is anyone actually checking them out?! Friday they'll all be posted again; and some guardians have been redone by that time!
What more? I forgot...Oh yeah, I redid the Serenay Moon Process Page! It looks so spiffy because of the image F@ceman made! He made an animated version of our logo!

Things to do today:
+ Printing out the Christman Card numerous times
+ Filling in the BA-form (for school)
+ Starting on the Crystal-Barbie_Doll
+ Starting with the Sint Nicolaas Surprise

Maybe today:
+ Creating more sprites and even putting them online! (friday I'll go to a museum; so the update will be late)

Saturday, November 23, 2002

Did I tell you about my first real paid assignment? I had to make a coloringbook-calendar for kids and I drew 12 pictures. Today they have been handed out (Sint Nicolaas Party) and both the kids and the parents loved it! And the best is, is that I get 15 euro (almost 15 dollars) a page too!! *does a happy dance* I'm rich! Rich!
And sometime.... you just get the most sweetest and precious mails.....

Friday, November 22, 2002

After 30 minutes the teacher thought it wasn't necessairy to give us class any more and we were send home...................*silence*
*sniff, sniff* You won't believe it. And I'm not kidding! This is something that cannot happen! This is unreal! This.... this.... T_T. I'm at SCHOOL right now. And now the unreal part. I'm having 3 periods today; 3 classes- well guess again!!! I come here and find out I HAVE THE FIRST 2 PERIODS OFF!!! *growl, cries* I'm here for NOTHING! They said we could knew this last week's wednesday; but hell, why on earth did they give us a scedule if they don't tell us something changed!? ('But it was at the announcementboard'- guys, we have our own scedule!! Why on earth look there?!)
Okay, I'm pissed. Could have stayed in bed. And I can't even update the site because chapter 43 is AT HOME! Oh well, at least I can do the appointment I had with someone now instead of after the 3rd period. Oh wait, that's already done too!!!
Bwech. Give me a lighter and some gasoline; this school is TOAST!!

Thursday, November 21, 2002

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo! *cries* This can't be!!! Robbie Williams...*sniff* ticket-sale.... starts *sniff* ....saterday... wouldn't be such a bad thing...*sniff,sniff* IF I DIDN'T WORK ABOVE THE TICKET POINT! That means a lot of 'excuse me, coming through. excuse me!' before I can actually reach the stairs to my work!! And try getting out before 10 am then!!! No way! That's no way possible! Ever tried to get a kart with mail through a pile of people?! And they don't get that I'm a mail deliverer and can't just stand in the elevator till they get in! I have the right to get through!
Tickets will be sold out in 10 minutes anyway; just like Prince *evil grins*.
Anyway, I gave math again today....and it worked! It didn't become chaos! Hurray! Hurray for me! *does weird happy dance*. Well, I'm quite tired now.... I had 30 mails >_<. Still 15 left to answer

Wednesday, November 20, 2002

One period of class today... I wonder what FX is......... Anyway, there won't come much people I guess. Just me and a friend.... maybe 1 or 2 more. Anyway, I decided to make a tiny page all about ME! Hehe. I won't need to post art there; okay, maybe not Serenay Moon related art once in a while, but it's not an Art page. Just a small ABOUT ME page ^_^. I wanted to play with frames again. And I just know I'll be able to do it!

Tuesday, November 19, 2002

Oh My God! Internet works! It works! It works normally!
And to celebrate that, have a little poem I wrote:

Heaven
When I ask you about heaven,
what do you think?
Do you see a perfect place,
with perfect angels?
Do you see harmony and peace,
do you see love?
When you ask me about heaven,
I can say only one thing.
Heaven was created for one angel,
You....

It was better in my head >_<. Why can't I write pretty poems?

Monday, November 18, 2002

How I spend my day today:

~Made some new animated sprites since the internet didn't want to connect again
~School; got bored to death almost the first period. The second was a break and I did some lesson preparations which I can also use for my upcoming How-To-Draws (when translated into english). The 3rd period was quite hard to understand but intresting (spelling) and the 4th was intresting; about how Mecanics got introduced at elementary school and what you can do with them. Some ideas were great, but hard to make reality.
~Went home and typed up the following scientific pieces I made up in the 7 minutes of walking how, while waiting for the internet to get connected again (about 30 - 45 minutes):
+ Mermaids: mammals, amphibians or fish?
+ Mermaids: best singers of the sea!
+ Mermaids: it's an ear(ly) case
+ Mermaids: beautiful creatures with long hair
+ Mermaids: a shopping hell
+ Mermaids: it's all a long big tail
I really like how some turned out, I might make a page for it ^_^.
~Then I could get online (finally) and I called which file I should download. I heard that and hung up: finding 7-8 different files and none had the name what I was given! So, called again (it's a free number ^_^) and the woman helped me (she sounded like she would only have to work 5 more minutes). So, downloaded a certain PDF file....... but now what should I do with it?! I expected a file that would run itself, but this is a word file?! I bet my dad will know what to do with it... otherwise I have to call AGAIN. It said I needed to gett offline first before using it anyway.
~So, now I am here; just replied to my mail and will soon feed my neopets. Then I'll check the net some more ^_^.

Things I finally did yesterday:
+ made the contract! Yay for me!
+ made the b-day card! Hurray!
+ made the Christmas Card.... kinda
+ didn't do the outer school activities form... boo me >_<

Sunday, November 17, 2002

Well, internet still tends to get freaky. I couldn't get online until 5 pm! Finally updated the page though.
Well, yesterday I saved a hedgehog. Poor thing tried to climb in a tree! What on earth was a young hedgehog like that one doing awake on broad daylight, near a busy road?! And some more annoying things happened but somehow I can't form a text in my head >_<.
Things for today:

+ setting up a contract for selling my art (Postbank)
+ preparing a b-day present
+ preparing the x-mas card
+ preparing my outer school activity form
+ If possible: making lessons for school; 2 about drawing ^_^. That should be easy!

Busy day huh? Draw me pictures! I'm bored!!

Friday, November 15, 2002

I don't know why but I couldn't get online any more. I'm trying to get things back on track again. I hope the internet will work tomorrow again, so I can update the page. So, wish me luck!

Tuesday, November 12, 2002

Do you really know me? Take the Quiz!!
It took me the whole day before I could get on line. It was handy though, I wrote Maryoku part 3, did art for Kendra the Kiss Doll and even wrote Alena, Kasumi Warrior part 1!!! It's a bit boring though, even though some people already said they liked it ^_^. I uploaded Blackout and maybe I'll add some adoptable gifs to Serenay Moon ^_^. I have 4 more; with more soon to follow! Episode 4 and 7!!Anyway, I'm also a tad annoyed. Some people I know are always trying to know things better than me. I don't know if they even know they are doing this, but it looks so smart-ass-y. Then I always think: 'Sure, why don't you just rub it in! Here, have some salt too!' (Dutch saying: throwing salt in the wounds).
Tomorrow FREEEEEEEEEEE!

Monday, November 11, 2002

I always seem to forget cool dreams. Or remember them AFTER I got offline. Here is another one.
I dreamed I was walking over City; our local mall. Suddenly a guy bumped into me and got really really really angry and wanted to kick my *** big time. I thought: 'No, I'll be useless violence victum number *largenumber*' (in the Netherlands some people tend to get killed for stupid reasons; a while ago a guy was kicked and punched to death because he told 2 youngsters to have respect for elders- whoever said the Netherlands was paradise?) and I was really afraid. However, I didn't want to go down without a fight and fought back. Oh man, even Meilin wasn't this great! I kicked his *** BIG time! Police came, but for a while they just stood there and didn't do a thing until they finally stopped him (and also me) and took him away. The next day my mom brought home a newspaper. My picture was on the front page and I was accused of kicking a poor innocent guy into the hospital and that I would probably have drunk too much Whiskey. This made no sense at all and I was angry. Everyone who knows me knows I don't drink alcoholic drinks, let alone whiskey!! The same thing appeared on the internet and when I found out who it was, it was a guy from my previous class- which makes no sense at all too because we don't hate each other =S.
Maybe it has something to do with 2 robbers who wanted to rob a supermarket, but 2 guys that worked there beat them up and now they are on trial for abusing 2 poor robbers.... why doesn't that make sense in my ears?
Even if I told it, you wouldn't believe it. Friday I posted my letter to the PokémonFanbook-Thing and today they called me and said I could order it! I will probably have it at the end of this week! Weeeeee!
And I need to study again >_<. If I won't do it now, I probably won't be able to get online tonight. Anything new? Nope.

Things I'll to tomorrow:
+ Maryoku II
+ Kendra
+ Uploading a few files for BlackOut

Wednesday:
+ Study
+ Phoenix (a drawing I promissed ages ago!)

Thursday:
+ Editing a certain movie >_<
+ Finishing Phoenix if possible

Friday:
Unknown so far.... depends if I decide to meet someone or not. But I WILL update the site with new art, fan art and profiles.

Sunday, November 10, 2002

Need to study. Argh......

Saturday, November 09, 2002

Everybody! Step right up! Kick the whiney woman, now for free! Come on everybody, this is a once in a lifetime chance!
Yeah, that same old woman whined again at my job. Why? Because whatever I did wasn't logic. Excuse me?! I was raised to appreciate what people do for you but noooooo miss-I'm-so-smart-and-no-one-is-as-smart-as-me was as rude as always and complained while I did work for her!
Dutch saying: Don't look into a given horse's mouth.
Next time she complains she can do it on her own!
--
Mom bought I believe, 3 lady fish and one new male one. You will never believe where she placed the fish tank >_<. I can't even describe it! It is such a weird place!
--
I tried to get online early today but daddy wanted the computer... only for an hour. *looks at watch* Instead of that I finished a b-day drawing. Sorry Togepi, I'll try to get back to Maryoku asap! And Sorry Luna-P, I'll try to get back to Kendra asap too!

Friday, November 08, 2002

Mm...I had such a nice dream. I alsmot forgot about it ^_^. It's not funny or romatic, yet filled with action ^_^. A bunch of people wanted to steal a baby but in order to save it I took it with me and ran with it. A few times they almost got me, but I stayed out of their hands. However... I'm not a god. After a while they DID manage to get the baby and I tried to get it back. Suddenly I saw the faces from the kidnappers and one was Angela from my class (she is such an arrogant *****). I kept on trying to get it back but failed and failed (awh.....)
After a while I met a guy and he said that the baby was found. I just wanted to know one thing: If he was back with his parents. The guy (also known as André van Duin- What the freak?!?) said the baby was fine and I cried. He would arrange a reunion and my alarmclock woke me up....
You should have been there ^_^
Nothing to tell.....I handed in my asignments, bought WITCH episode 4 (weee!) and am on my way to update the page. And DRATS, I somehow missed Pokémon Fanbook part 17!! How on earth is that possible?! It's not like many people buy it! And I know, I'm not that much of a fan from Pokémon any more, but I do want to complete my collection.
So, what more to tell? Mom is gonna buy new female friends for Hino, our fish ^_^.

Things to do:
+ Finish a b-day drawing
+ Maryoku II
+ Sprites
Blabla

Thursday, November 07, 2002

My class started out so nicely when I started teaching but slowly it ended up in semi-chaos. *cries* I so suck! Why can't I be a good teacher!! Will I ever be good?! *sniff*
Okay, new topic.
I'm so jealous at Meilin from Card Captor Sakura. Why? Not only does she have such a great costume like Li, she is also such a great fighter!! I want to be just like her! And what is even more annoying.....SHE GETS CLOSE TO LI! *kicks Meilin away* Get away from him! I want him!
(Yes, today was the first real episode with Meilin. I loved Li! But, then again... when don't I love him? *smile*)
Oh yeah, Faia the fish that came back to life... now really died. Zombies can't stand salt ^_~. No, I didn't put salt in the fish tank! That was a joke! Sjeesh!

Tuesday, November 05, 2002

Bleh. I still have little time so a short post. I had a great planning for my homework but suddenly I got a mail last night telling me I should be at school at 3 pm. What the freak?! Who chose 3 pm?! So, I had to turn my whole scedule over and I have 15 minutes left to visit neopets and the messageboard. And Luna Puella's blog. And more sites. Good thing KatC's Sailor Moon goodies doesn't want to work again ^_^.
Anyway, I did homework yesterday- I finished Math! Today I'll finish History and hopefully Music. If possible, I'll do that weird subject about kids and their development today too. Just need to make up 10 questions.
My dad managed to get a ticket to some show he had been to and now I'll let it count for the Cultural thing ^_^. I'm evil!
If I have time tomorrow I'll post something. I'm not sure. Not much time etc. Weee. (Sarcastic).

Monday, November 04, 2002

*sighs* Sorry, because of a lack of time and personal trouble I don't have that much time to post in my blog till next week's friday. Or thursday. Yeah, thursday. I can't tell you what my personal issues are because 'then I blow things up too much'. Some of you might know what I'm talking about but one of my friends is really pissed at me only because I was worried and she doesn't seem to understand that I was called first by someone else. And she doesn't mail him. Well, I don't want to talk about it any more. I just don't understand it. And if she happens to read it; I don't care. I have done enough. I apologised, what more does she want?!
Oh dang, now I still did talk about it!
I got a second review for my site. Here it is. I think I'll make all background for the page white. What do you think? Comments please.

Reviewed by: Iron Mouse

First Impression: layout was cute, it looked very promising.

Layout: i love it, nice and easy to navigate. My suggestion is that you make all the backgrounds of the sub pages the same colour, or pattern or whatever. That way your site will look cleaner, and more professional.

Content: you have lots of nice pictures and i haven¡Çt read your story (I¡Çm sorry i don¡Çt have the time and I¡Çm not a fan fiction/web comic fan). I really really like your adoptions too >.<

Information: good, not much to say, but nice.

Organization: woohoo! Great marks here, this is so nice and organized, i wish i could get my site like that. although on the main page there is that important dates thing and the tell a freind, i just want to let you know that people never use thouse things and they just look really bad and messy. i suggest that you take them down.

Originality: well because you made up the whole story, it¡Çs very original.

Final Impression: it¡Çs pretty much the same as my first one, cute!
