Message was clear?

Well, I guess my message from yesterday was clear. Too bad that the people who asked me today if I was allright, weren't the ones who kept on bothering me XD Thanks anyway, to them.

Last night... well, I only remembered that I dreamt, not what I dreamt.

This morning, at swimming class, I planned to be totally wicked (Halloween and all)... but instead of that, it was an awesome lesson. The kids were wonderful; they really gave their best! For some children, it was still hard, but overall, I am proud of them!

I also made a drawing I wanted to do yesterday. I send it to the person who it belonged to, so it's waiting and hoping she likes it.

Oh, and I'm watching The Witches now. It's an okay movie. Never 100% liked the book and the same with the movie. Somehow, I'm not THAT fond of R. Dahl. It's just not really my style. I know a lot of people do like his stories, so it's okay :) It's not like I have to watch it...

And this is the drawing I made yesterday; it's an exclusive to this girl's gallery:


The Hero of the Gods.... by ~Rose74 on deviantART

Stress???!

Why do some people seem to think I have hours to spare?! "Could you do this?", "Could you do that?", "Oh, hiiii, just calling to ask if XXX has received...", "Oh, if you're not doing anything..."

Well, I AM doing something! I'm doing a LOT actually! While making a drawing for my promotion booklet, I now and then managed to refresh Gaia Online for the event (seriously, I could have been way faster if people left me alone!).

To add to that, our scanner was acting super weird, so I had to restart the entire computer again. Tadaaaaa; 10 more minutes of waiting for the system to shut down and restart. I could have finished the Pen-i comic in that time! (which I couldn't do, because I had to SCAN that!)

And walking the dogs twice, because, of course, no one else is here to walk them. All by all, I lost about an hour doing NOT what I had to do. Waiting, walking dogs... and then, OF COURSE, people complain that I haven't done much today. Well, I wonder WHY!

I wanted to do a Pen-i and 2 drawings. I only managed to finish the Pen-i and 1 drawing. And I bet I have to take care of myself with dinner as well. You'd think people would let you know in advance they aren't going to eat home! I keep on waiting and waiting... Place your bets people, Kitty is going to have an evening with bread again because people expect her to run around while they don't keep her informed whatsoever.

In case it wasn't clear: I'm absolutely pissed. And the minute I go online on MSN, half my list jumps on me and starts complaining about their lives, because, of course, KITTY IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A FOUL MOOD!

All Kitty is allowed to do is listen and be supportive. Well, guess what: I am human too!



.... and could that darn Virus Scan finally be done?! It's making my computer super slow!!

Pen-i trouble XD

I thought I had an idea for my Pen-i comic, but alas, I don't think it's such a good idea after all. I have to think up of something new. Am I doing something special this week? Nopes. Is something special happening? Asides Halloween which no one celebrates - nopes. Has something special happened? Absolutely not. Waaah! This is so hard XD

If I won't make up something soon, I'll have to make a comic about not being able to make something up XD And trust me, once you've done that...

So, if you happen to live in my town and something interesting happened... please let me know!

Dreamtime!!

Well, tonight once again a dream about school.

"Finish this report or you can't graduate!!"

... But I already graduated 3 years ago!! So why do I keep on dreaming about exams, essays, reports... all with the threat I won't graduate? Only once in my dream I seemed to 'wake up' and said: "Scr*w it, I already graduated! I don't have to do it any more!"

Work was quite heavy today. Not physically, but mentally. Things that happened that not a single procedure covered, no matter how far you stretched the rules. And is it fair that my company takes the blame, while we are not responsible for the thing at all?

I'm exhausted *lays head onto the table*. And I still have to do my Pen-i comic. I do have an idea for it, about my weird dreams. Not the first dream-comic, but it shows how crazy my dreams can be.

Like, why do I keep on having nightmares about T-Rexes who keep on eating people I know?! Dinosaurs don't even exist any more! Why can't I have NORMAL nightmares like NORMAL people?!

Good morning?

So if it isn't clowns that pester me in my dreams, it's dinosaurs. And not the cutey leaf-eaters, of cooooouuuuurrrrse not. Again the meat eaters who eat whoever doesn't listen to me. Though E. did listen to me and she still got eaten.

And S. returned again, as 'The girl who thinks she's so awesome she has to put me down'. She wasn't really like that in High School, but we didn't really get along that great. Once friends, but suddenly dumped without a reason. More friends did that to me... or should I say ex-friends? Maybe for the best, because otherwise I would have never met some of the crazy awesome friends I have now.

Anyway, I realised that when I start writing the Forever Young - Project KiMa saga, I will have a lot of nightmares... because it involves a T-Rex. Why a T-Rex? Well, the character Kimu is asking that herself after being chased by one!
Or maybe it will cause the end of my dinosaur nightmares... because that Dino is going DOWN!

Yeah, the Project KiMa saga is slowly getting more shape. The character Kimu gets lost in the story The Wizard of Oz, but it's quite different. She still keeps on clinging to the story and how it progresses, and thus makes a lot of mistakes and causes a lot of trouble. That's one of the lessons Mateo wanted to teach Kimu: "Stop clinging to one thing. Let it go AND MOVE ON!"

Kick of the day

I love it how people keep on thinking they can get away with fraud. Every once in a while, we get proof of fraud on our floor and when I show it to people I work with, they always follow this pattern:

- GASP!
- Already reported it?
- BWAHAHAHA - LOSER!

Look, IF you decide to commit fraud to ANY company or ANY person, make certain you leave NO EVIDENCE whatsoever! And since that is pretty impossible since 99% of the people want to brag about their 'Oh-I-am-so-smart'-ness... we catch most >=D

Though it was getting tiresome to get another: OMG-YOU-PEOPLE-ARE-THIEFS-!!!111!!! e-mail. We are not thieves. If we would have been thieves, we would be out of business. Yes, we make mistakes, but that is because, brace yourself: we are human too.

Gasp!! I bet you didn't think that!!

Clowns keep on scaring me

I have no idea why I dislike clowns more and more with the year. As a kid, I sometimes dressed up as a Pierrot, but ever since High School they started to scare me more and more. Could it be those painted smiles? Could it be their eternal happiness?

Or could it be that 3 second flash I saw of IT?

And then all those Halloween Advertisments with Horror Clowns don't help. Seriously. With the year, clowns scare me more and more.

Also, I don't really think clowns are funny. All that pie throwing, falling, doing clumsy... no, I don;t think that's funny. But that's because I can't laugh about the misfortune of others. All those 'Funniest Home Videos'? You won't make me happy by forcing me to watch them.

Oh wow, a car toples down a hill. Ha-ha-ha... *sarcasm* Those people are lucky they got out alive!!

So clowns and misfortune of others? Not my cup of tea *nods*

The reason for this blog posting? Hellendoorn's Halloween Advertisement ¬¬

Having fun is fun!

I had underestimated today. A DeviantArt meet... I thought I'd be lost in the group... but that Arisa-tan had gone along really helped (And Acrocat was there as well! Hadn't seen her for so long!). I met some new people and everybody seemed to get along quite well.

The people who had organised it, had also organised a quest thingy- looking for things in Utrecht. We found quite a lot, but not everything. We'll see who the winner shall be =D (But hey, we had a lot of fun... truely a lot!!)

It's not really possible to describe today. So many impressions, so much things we've seen, so many walking (eeks, my back!!) and afterwards the people who had remained behind dove into the Mac Donalds.... and afterwards in the Media Markt. I played Guitar Hero drums a bit, but one tappingthing had died so I failed at Living on a Prayer! *sniffles*

But I did ROCK at... ehm... one of Michael Jackson's... can't recall.

Anyway, I had a LOT OF FUN! Hurray!!

*shivers*

I'm quite cold today... I don't know why. It started this morning. Or maybe, last night, when I suddenly got really really hungry. Not snack-hungry, but like I hadn't eaten for days. In the morning it repeated itself and that was what made me cold.
I'm cold again, even though I ate a good meal. I'm also really tired... maybe I have some underlying flue or something like that. Oh well, at least I can sleep longer tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'm going to see Zaylie again :) Has been so long since I saw her, even though we live so close. I've been totally neglecting her and I should spend more time on her. And how does she repay me for neglecting her? By giving me a ride to a meeting place! She's too kind!!

And then some people complain I don't spend enough time on them while I talk to them almost daily ¬¬

Spanish Tomatoes

I don't know why, but that word popped up in my head this morning. Just like that - poof! As for the dreams... let's see if I can make this organised...

• My family and I wanted to rent a cottage for a vacation. When we went to the pool, we started to looking for a 'wild water slide'. When we thought we had found it, it turned out we ended up in a new entertainment centre. Only my dad and I were left and we joined a ride which turned out to be a paid ride. For 1.5 euro's we joined, but my dad thought it was too crowded but got off. I went, but didn't want to any more. The ride was crazy and boring.
• When I got off, I ended up in an aquarium. One of the aquaria was broken by me, intentionally, so all the water got out, but the mini sharks remained in (there was a bit of water left; no fish were killed)
• Then I told someone I did that in a dream, so was it a dream in a dream?
• Suddenly I fell ill in the dream, with throwing up and all. That was strange...

And then I woke up. I don't feel 100% btw XD Maybe I ate something wrong...

Also: Winx DDR Expert Mode = Kitty Fails all the time. But I have to finish it in order to get that last outfit and probably You're The One! I want that song T_T

Bookreports?

Why am I dreaming about High School so much lately? Last night I dreamt I had to write a bookreport about a book I read in my vacation (E. Rampo or something like that; old Japanese mystery book). I made a summary for myself partly, because it was a 'Live Exam', but when I came there...
I was the only one and was allowed to write a summary with my notes and the book present. So, what as the use again? Couldn't finish it btw...
There was also a fragment in that dream that left an icky aftertaste, but I only remember the aftertaste and not the fragment. Oddness.

Other than that... I almost accidentally wrote a banktransfer for 2***0 euros... I don't even have that kind of money XD! Stupid me. Luckily I saw it in time.

There's no swimming class tonight and frankly... those nights off are always welcome =D Hurray!!

Eggs

This morning, I dreamt about (pie and) eggs. About 15 eggs I had to cook, bake, put into the oven (what the...?) so I woke up all nauscious. Still am. Bwech. So many eggs... the smell, the sight... bwech.

To add to that, someone called us way early in the morning to tell us we had to get a newspaper because my mom is in it. That is fun, of course, but couldn't she have called an hour later?! Because then I would have been up!! That newspaper will be here at 8 am AND 9 am!

I have to work today and seriously... I hope I manage to 'wake up' before leaving... if I lay down, I'll fall asleep without a doubt. Not that I'm tired. I'm just not... awake yet.

Has been a while...

Has been a while since I posted anything in the Story Vault XD Let's so that after this post. It's not like anyone reads those old stories anyway...

At work, for the first time, I asked my teamleader to contact the Head Office right away. Seriously, some customers... and no, I did not talk to a freaky customer... a customer was being threatened by a freak!! I was like: "Eh, no way we're gonna do things like this. Miss, don't worry, we'll take this on right away!" I just hope the Head Office will do something about it... I'll probably find out tomorrow.

After work, I rushed home, so my mom and I could pick my grandma up. We went to a Christmas Show at a Garden Mall (yes, they are that early...) They were not entirely finished yet, but at least it was calm and peaceful now.

When I came home, I walked the dogs... and it should be forbidden! First I smell a delicious meal coming from who knows where and when that heavenly smell dies down... I smell the town's cookie factory! Darn you, cookie factory! Making me all hungry again!!

Dad is on his first solo trip to Poland :) He's being send by the town council with other people and he's really proud ^_^... and the airplane was delayed with 5 hours XD Poor dad... but I bet he'll have fun!! Have fun dad!

There's a Heron in our garden

I've been running towards the door twice now XD We only have 2 fish in our pond and we'd like to keep them! We do have a lot more frogs though, but we never put them in there. Bold, bold heron... We shall defend our fish!

Last night we went to the local pancake restaurant. The previous owner tried to make it more exclusive, which caused almost the place falling apart. It's a pancake restaurant! Not something for the high estate only!
Someone we know from the past has bought it, so as a support, we decided to grab a pancake. And it looks way better already! Sure, it's not finished yet, but the atmosphere is growing again.
The service was wonderful as well and when they found out we know the owner (who was off for a holiday), we even got 2 drinks free! We refused to accept the drinks for free, but they kept on saying we didn't have to pay them XD And in the end I got a little sea turtle toy as a gift XD Awesome.

De Middenhof is BACK! Hurray!!

Also, I think the Heron won't be coming back... VICTORY!!

Which day is it?

Seriously, I don't know O.o. I woke up this morning and a vague thought told me it was saturday, but I still had to grab a calendar to check it. Despite everthing saying it was saturday, it still feels NOT saturday. Why? I don't know O.o AT ALL!

Last night I dreamt that because a kid from the swimmingclub got injured, I quit my job, because no one supported me. Everyone was also totally mean to me, saying it was not my responsibility etc. Luckily, the kid was fine, but this dream left a nasty feeling. I was very irrational in this dream... VERY.

I didn't like that. I often have some sort of ration/control of my acts. Is it because I'm getting too stressed again?

Noodles times 2

Two bags of noodles might not have been the best choice... *burps* I'm not certain what to write... AGAIN. Man, I'm boring! (Ooh, matches the title!)
Yesterday I updated the website, but it took way longer than usual, because of a sister-dear who kept on nagging me. However, in the end.. I was victorious in nagging her! MUAHAHAHA! You cannot defeat The Digital Mermaid!!

.... unless you are a hacker, I guess...

Let's embed a youtube clip, just for the sake of it. And yes, one of mine as well.

Eh... brain? Hello?

My brain seems to be... gone. Dunno. Again. Why? Somehow I'm just... flatline. I have a mail to answer (quite the important one), make a Pen-i and update the website. And I want to start my promotional booklet this weekend. Already one drawing made =D

Tomorrow I get to work at the main office; I'm quite excited! I always worry I say the wrong things, but I have worked more often there. It's not scary there... but still... MAIN office XD

Also, I bought my mom a gift and place it on her dairy/agenda.... she passed it 6 times now, she's sitting in front of it and STILL she doesn't see it XD Argh!! How can you miss THAT?! It's a huge Smurf!!

... I'm hungry. I want food. It's almost done...

DING!

Need to learn how to plan/organise

That's my weakest thing; I can easily swamp myself.

What to say, what to say... the compliment I got yesterday caused one romantic dream, but no, I don't think I should think more of it than a dream :) I'm still a realist.

I had fun at Togepi's birthday last night; lots of talking and finally a good discussion again. I like discussions; it keeps the brain running.
Though mine left me during the evening... I have one birthday left this year, so of course this means I already start thinking about my own XD Which is in March!

Yes, I always start thinking this early. I never said I was smart. Who said that??!

Just wanted to let you know

I got the biggest compliment ever today. He just doesn't know he gave me a compliment, but it was a huge ego boost. I couldn't even tell him, because knowing him, he'd probably say I shouldn't think so lowly of myself XD

I don't see them much, but I have the best friends ever.

Wow, that was fast...

Wow, once again the book took an other turn than I expected. Yume is more spoiled, Graven is more mature and Blade is meaner than I expected. But hey, on Seken, talking does not bring food on the table, so Blade honestly wants what's best!
It's just so strange... here, on Earth, we try to let everyone read, saying that everyone should read. And on Seken... reading is a luxury people even discourage XD It's a world gone mad!!

... and I wrote it XD

Woohoo

*sings and dances* I get to start book 5, I get to start book 5! I can finally introduce Yume, Graven and the new character Helena! She's only a plot-character (you know, a character that appears so there is a plot) but I hope to use her more often in the future.

Weee! I get to start a new novel! YAYNESS!

IE versus FireFox versus Chrome versus WHATEVER!

Honestly, I'm so sick and tired of those discussions that people should install *any other browser than Internet Explorer* because that one is so much better than Internet Explorer. It's like the discussion about Macs and Windows!

WHO CARES!

It's not the software that sucks, it's the USER!

I have used Internet Explorer ever since I got online and guess what... after 10 years only 1!! virus! (*knocks on wood*). I'm not saying that people who use anything else but IE are idiots, but seriously...

I know someone who has Firefox and she/he has about 1 virus a week
I know someone who has Opera and she/he has to buy his/her fifth computer

So it's not the browser, the software or even the hardware... it's the USER. If you don't click on messages from stranger, suspecious links and be picky on which sites you go... hey, then you will suddenly find out that using your brain means you get to enjoy your computer longer.

So, if possible...

Could you please stop telling me I should get another browser?!!?

10 minutes till internet resets

I so hate it that the timezones exist. It's already morning here, but not in the USA. It won't until 9 am and only then the Neopets servers think a new day has started. Only then, I can start with my online stuff.

Yesterday I decided to swim along. I had to get my head clear. It didn't really work, but talking to E. afterwards helped a lot. There wasn't much I could talk about, but sharing means half the pain.
Though I bet the kids noticed I was off. I mean, it was the easiest lesson ever. Seriously. And the part I swam along... why are THEY tired?! They swim each and every week! And this time it wasn't much! And I wasn't even tired myself! (... that much). I haven't swam since the vacation.

I also finished my Pen-i comic (drawing) yesterday; I hope to scan it tonight so I can finish it tomorrow.

And (so my storytelling skills are still in bed; so sue me!) I have an interview in half an hour, so I'd better hurry!!

Oh, and I think I'm gonna start book 5 this weekend. I feel so crappy- writing the scene I've been wanting to write for years should make me feel better... or worse XD

...

Even though we never saw eye to eye,
you did not deserve to die.
You shall be missed, that's for sure.
Earth lost another soul, shining so pure.

Rest in peace, Tsuky0mi

Why is my Naraku not a Mary-Sue

Yes, I'm still at it. Mary-Sue's are characters that are so perfect they get boring. And Naraku is perfect. Still, she has many, many flaws and therefor she is not a Mary-Sue. I have decided.

Her flaws:

• She had to grow from 0 to now, mentally.
• She has trouble understanding figure of speeches, but is finally getting there (after 8 years!)
• She repeats expressions because she thinks it's an expected response, despite not knowing it's meaning
• She can do anything... but she is so balanced she excells at nothing. (This is partly a reference to myself. I can write, draw, sing, code... but there's nothing I'm REALLY good at). She can fight well, but is exceeded by her teachers, who specialise in 1 weapon/skill
• She has the attention span of a potato (meaning no attention span whatsoever)
• She doesn't think before she acts
• She gets depressed easily
• She can't die (for numerous reasons, not only because of her awesome powers, but that would be a spoiler)
• She is hated by 1 person, again for reasons I cannot say (book 4 revelation stuff)

I could probably think of more, but I had to convince myself my Naraku is not a Mary-Sue. Not even Konoai is one, because she has superiority and inferiority issues at the same time.

Gossipping!

Mom = my mother. Kinda making sense, ne?
Other = someone we haven't seen for ages

Other: Hey! Hiiii! I haven't seen you in aaaaages! How ar you doing?
Mom: Fine, thank you. And you?
Other: Oh, I'm fine. I admire your strength, so much you've been through...
Mom: Well, yeah...
Other: Honestly, I never thought your husband would do such a thing!
Mom: Eh....
Other: To dump you for a younger woman...
Mom: Excuse me?
Other: And so courageous of you to get that divorce... but moving to Zeeland?
Mom: What??!
Other: But opening a Cafetaria (Cafe-kind); is that something you should do?
Mom:.... Where did you hear all of that???!

For the record: my mom is happily married and so is my dad XD He does NOT have a thing for a younger woman and they are NOT divorced. And that Cafeteria-part in Zeeland... Where did this come from?! XD It's aboslutely NOT TRUE!

Smurf!

I'm watching a Smurfs-DVD now :) So old and silly XD Sure, badly drawn, but who cares! It's FUN! Doesn't require a brain either; always a plus for me.

Anyway, not much to say. My commission got approved, which is a plus. I found some time to start a new reference... actually, after this post XP And I edited 2 episodes for book 3.

But that is honestly about all XD Sorry! I'm sooo boring!

Almost missed 2 days??!

Well, I was gone friday, so that's my excuse. I was in Rotterdam and well... I noticed that my sense of direction is still awesome, even in a town I've never visited yet. Sure, I went like... with a curve the size of an elephant, but I reached the place I had to be. And the way back... my response was: "Huh, how can I already be at the station!?" I found my way back, without a map... and going a complete different direction XD
I love my sense of direction. I have no sense of geography, but lotsa sense of direction XP

On my way back, I bought a Digital Photo Frame; pocket sized. I was like: so, I can fit about 50 pictures on it; nice for a portable portfolio.

Well... I added about 200... and I have space for I don't know how much more! It's an about 120 MB drive and I filled 10 mb with 200 images XD Highest resolution as well! Sure, it's a mini screen, but way better than those keychain photo frames. And only 29 euros! It's a Lenco and my recommendation if you want your portfolio with you all the time!

I also bought the Avatar Season 1 box (10 euros), the Enchanted dvd (10 euros as well), and 'Er was eens... Amerika' and 'Er was eens... De Ruimte'. I think I have the entire 'Er was eens...' series complete! Hurray!!

New Reference Finished!

Yay, I finally finished the reference for Mah-Lin!: http://kittyocean.deviantart.com/art/FY-Reference-Mah-Lin-138784518 . I do hope Irina's will be done faster, though I doubt it... thing is, I have the drawings... but I don't know her. What is she like? What are her likes and dislikes? I hardly wrote about her, so I guess she still has to grow.
I do hope she won't take the same path as Hane XD I never liked him much; never got to know him XP

Reminds me off, let's send a new chapter to my beta readers =D Yay!!
