Kitty Ocean's Boredom

The return of Kitty Ocean's Boredom!

2011-05-05T07:29:00.002Z

...or at least, I plan.

No, I still won't fill hundred of posts about my life. It's not interesting, nothing ever happens and I don't want to complain all day long again.

So, I will do things differently. I want to fill this blog with reviews about the How to Draw books I own (and I own quite a lot!) and perhaps sometimes a manga or art materials. Question is: what would YOU think is interesting to read about it? What would you like to know? What is important about a review? Which questions do you have about a book? I know it's all about my opinion, but suggestions are always welcome !

Yes, it's been long

2010-07-16T17:45:00.003Z

And it will probably be a lot longer before I will post again XD Sorry, guys!

The reasons:

Promotion at work. It means a lot less time
Seriously, nothing important is going on in my life
Twitter is waaaay easier and faster. Sorry, it is! I can just type at random! Random mini blogposts make things annoying; can you imagine all my tweets as blogposts? Seriously, that wouldn't be any fun.

But don't worry, ONE DAY I will use this blog again. Moments of silence are not unknown for 'Kitty Ocean's Boredom' XP

Wooooo~

2010-02-15T18:31:00.002Z

My brain is totally wooo today. I'm seriously considering going to bed at 8 pm XP I don't know what caused it.

I didn't drink that much yesterday.
I went to bed hella late.
I didn't sleep that much.

And I can think about 75 more reasons why my brain went zombie.

Anyway, hardly anything interesting is on TV, so I wouldn't miss a thing. I just don't feel like doing anything...

...after writing a new Serenay Moon episode in RECORD TIME!

I so RULE!

*does a little victory dance and then falls asleep*

There was something with today...

2010-02-14T20:51:00.002Z

I just can't remember XD Anyway, I get to write a new Serenay Moon episode! Yay! I soooo know what will happen. 'Bound by light, bound by darkness'. All I have to do, is create the biggest chaos ever, that everything seems absolutely hopeless!

... but I don't know how to fix it yet XD I have to keep that in mind, since I may be the one who has to clean up the mess I created then as well.

Writing is awesome. Can't wait to finish the Serenay Moon story. And if I ever get time and energy, I probably will re-write it (with my co-writer, of course. All the way and always.)

Can you imagine, when the story is written and we start all over... we'll actually know what we'll be doing XD

.... maybe we can even publish it then as well XP That would be fun. Serenay Moon, published... hehe

Missed a few days!

2010-02-12T19:08:00.002Z

Yeah, I missed a few days. I have my reasons!

First: tuesday. The Kumiko Event got cancelled. I was really looking forward to it! So, I was a bit 'whoever-talks-to-me-gets-all-my-negative-mood-over-him-or-her'. Plus I could only spill how terrible I felt. And since you deserve better, I put up some radio silence.

Wednesday: I worked till 2 p.m. and then hurried home, because dad and I would go to the Sign Fair - a fair about graphic-business. Since there was a bit of snow expected and it was a 1.5-2 hour drive, we left rightaway.
We arrived 7.30 pm. A lot of snow, traffic... and well, I needed 2 li'l breaks as well ^_^'. The fair wasn't interesting, or at least, not that much. It was most about presentation and equipment for presentation. Still, I got 2 click-photo-frames (mini size), 2 'Wuppies' (little synthetic balls with eyes; Dutch people seem to like them XD), 2 small notepads, some pens (which I need for my booklet promotion and 2 plastic 'commercial dolphin looking stands' which I plan to paint one day. All very mini, because it's free. Oh, and some new kind of promotional banner-standard.

I then challenged a printing company (with a big-a**-printer) to print one of my latest images; the cover of my 3rd book (and I found something I need to fix, but won't do that now XD). They accepted the challenge and I booted up my laptop.

Start up screen
Black

I was like: huh? But I just worked on it in the car! With the power plug! (we can hook up our laptops in a car so we don't use battery)

Again.
Start up screen
Black

I started to feel weird, so I went to another stand that had the same mini laptop as I had. I could borrow the cable, but again:

Start up screen
Black

I started to panic... I just worked on it and I had't backed up the latest stories I wrote! I called my brother in law (he's my help desk) and suddenly I got a new screen on my laptop 'Checking cache'.

My brother in law told me he could back up my work in case everything crashed, but luckily the thing started working again... and I immediately put my latest work on an USB stick. At least that work was safe now.
Today I made a full back-up. Just so you know. My work is safe.

Anyway, the printing company took my challenge and well... the result was comparable to minor gif-result, but hey: I got a big a** print of my 3rd book cover... twice, because one had a spat of ink on it XP. So no complaints here!

The fair was then over and on the way back I took some big printed maps along. I don't care if there's advertisement on it :) I mean, I got a big map of the Netherlands now XP Maybe I can finally learn where the heck some important places are XD

We left at 10 pm and while the road was still bad, there was little traffic on the way back. The result was a 2.5 hour drive; 3 hours shorter than the first time; towards the fair!

We were back around 00:30, so no online time there. Slept around 1 am... and of course, I had to be shining brightly at 7:30 again XD And of course, I slept terrible XD I think I had about 5 hours sleep!

Thursday:

I don't think much people noticed what I zombie I was XD I even did quite some work! But 8 hours of work... when I got home, I didn't feel up to doing much XP I can't even recall what I did!

Friday:

Only 4 hours of work, but still quite tired. When I got home, I tried to do some high speed internet, but alas: sloooow. I also made a Pen-i comic, finally XD Just send it in! And I turned one of the Wuppie's into a litt;e parrot. A guy I know plans to dress up as a pirate for Carnaval and I told him he needed a parrot XD I suggested a plushie and eventually thought about a Wuppie.
So, I made one for him :) Will give it to him tomorrow, that is, if he comes :) I wonder what he will say...

Solo

2010-02-08T18:53:00.002Z

Last night I dreamt I was in high school, having to follow Dutch Language class... but for some reason I had to do different things. Things I really liked to do, but my classmates weren't too happy. I couldn't copy notes, they didn't pass on the assignments... usually, the reference to real life is vague, hidden... but this time it's pretty obvious. After all *sighs*

Is it bad if I enjoy my new task? I know I still have to ask a lot, but still... it's a job I wouldn't mind doing at all.
But it's only for 4 weeks...

Anyway, after work, I wrote a new FY episode. The last episode wasn't as bad as I thought and this one went pretty fine as well XD Now the trouble really began... because a little someone remembered a promise that was accidentally made weeks ago XD

Oh, how I love my little moon....

Oh, and hopefully I can write endless rain tonight... Yeah, it's due XD

Sunday!

2010-02-07T16:54:00.002Z

I planned to write today, but alas... I had to help up putting some Christmas stuff away (we didn't have it in the room any more, the boxes had to be moved) and then I started searching for stuff and well... then it was 3 pm. So, instead, I updated my webshop. And I will pre-update it after this blogpost.

And then, tonight. I dunno. I don't know what to do yet. I don't really feel like drawing and can I write a key-episode in such short time? It's a reaaaally important one, so I am a bit nervous.

Reminds me off, I need to send a new chapter to my beta readers...

DVDhorror

2010-02-06T10:54:00.002Z

I came to the brilliant idea to start building my family a DVD database. That's like... trying to number all the stones of the piramide of Whatever, AFTER the thing is built XD And boy will a lot of entries stay blank because I have no idea what that movie is about... XD

If this works out fine, I might built one for our Comic Collection, my Manga Collection, my Book collection...

Btw, last night I found out I really have little shelf space left for my manga XD Luckily, my running series are slowly coming to an end as well XP.

But still, databases are handy to know which numbers you miss etc. Though, how to take it along to a Book Fair? I can't take my laptop along, nor a pile of papers!

Missed a day

2010-02-05T17:32:00.004Z

I didn't want to write a blog yesterday. Work was wonderful and it was today... but then I found out about something... and believe me, I hate Elitists. Who are they to judge people? Just because I don't fit into their little perfect standard world...

I never fit into anyone's standard world! I'm not a copy, I'm unique!

And I thank two people who helped me cheer up last night :)

After work today, I went shopping with mom. I bought a few new Manga :) And some DVD. Planet Earth,- the 6 DVD box. 30 euro's is worth it. I bet Blu-Ray would have been better, but honestly, if I don't have that big a**-tv they have in that store, I honestly won't see the difference XD

Darn it, that screen was awesome. If I ever get rich and famous, I soooo want a big TV like that. And then I'm gonna invite all my friends for a Wii party XP

Wednesday, half over

2010-02-03T15:40:00.003Z

Well, for the following few weeks, my scedule for work is different. I will work again in the morning, but not in the evening. Honestly, it's exactly the break I needed :) And on the right time as well!

We're watching Bold and Beautiful now (mom is turning into a soapie- Alert! Alert!) and one of the actresses from Golden Girls is in it (2007 or so in the USA?). We doubted for days, but now we know thanks to Wikipedia XP (that's how I know it would be around 2007 in the USA XD). We really like her and wow, she still looks strong for a woman over 80! Admiration there!

Well, tonight I still have to update my website and create a webcomic. That should be doable :) I just hope it won't freeze as much any more. It's slippery! Someone I know fell so hard on the head her head was bleeding! (She even had to go to the hospital) I hope she feels better soon, so ye all, be carefull!!

Tuesday is rolling forward

2010-02-02T09:44:00.002Z

Wow, the melted snow from yesterday turned into ice. Slippery outside!! That kinda sucks, since I need to get out XD

Yesterday I suddenly got a headache, so I couldn;t draw *sighs* And once again I slept very chaotic. I'm beginning to think it's because of Dream Saga, the manga I read before bed. Dream Saga is not a complicated manga, but the names... The naaaaaames! They are sooo long and I don't know who is who XD At least my characters have a nickname that shortens it XD

Still, only 2 more volumes and I finished re-reading it again :) Then I can go to lighter stuff XD Like Tenchi Muyo or so XD

Well, an hour till work... what to do... and what to eat tonight!? (at work)

Monday has passed

2010-02-01T16:59:00.004Z

Goodness, I love this episode of Little House of the Prairie XD. I love it when arrogant people get kicked by the loser XD Especially if the loser becomes the love interest of a wallflower who gave up so much... *romantic sighs*

Well, today was a weird day. Cold, snow, hail, rain, sun, snow, sun, snow, cloudy, rain and snow... I think. I think I covered it all now. Lots of snow, sun and rain on one day... Strangeness. I doubted about shopping, but I gambled and hurried home... just before another snow/rain shower!

Lucky me!

After work I also started writing on another episode of FY, but I got sidetracked and started reading about Anastasia Romanov. I found out the bodies they found a couple of years ago, were indeed the last children. It actually made me feel bad: none escaped that dreadful murder. I always feel bad when children are being killed, due to the insanity of men. Or when adults are murdered, btw. Why do people need to kill other people?!

Anyway, I finished my episode of FY during TV my mom put on. It sooo distracts. Took me 30 minutes to write a 10 line piece! Of course I could leave the room, but then I would have to unhook an entire system and reboot it upstairs where it's cold! For 10 minutes of work! I didn't go upstairs for a reason! ARGH!

I don't know if I managed to end the story well. I might re-read it tomorrow. I so hope warmth will return. That way I can spend more time on my room!
... but then people will think I'm anti social again...

...I just can't win, can I?

CCCP XD

2010-01-31T20:16:00.002Z

Funny XD I'm watching Cool Runnings; I need some happy brainless movie XD And I just noticed the Swiss Bobsled has CCCP on it XD I know an other CCCP. And that's software!

You don't have to understand the joke, as long as I think it's funny XD

Yesterday I drew Iri and Tenshi; the first Twins of MorningSnow. While I like their hairstyle, I dislike their faces and especially Iri's clothes XD Way too sugar coated XD I may not even post it XP Or change colours digitally XP Iri's clothes looked great in my mind :(

Today I wrote 2 episodes for Forever Young. Things are going waaaay unplanned XD

"Hold on. Are you saying Stellus won the great war with MorningSnow... and nobody knows about it?! I even helped them?!"

Ha-ha-haruhi XD

2010-01-30T12:25:00.002Z

Lame title, I know. Anyway, finally watched the Haruhi Suzumiya episodes I was behind. Endless 8 ended not as good as I expected. You have 8 episodes that are practically identical and then you finish it up in 3 minutes?! You could have given it at least a 10 minute ending!
The movie making saga is cute XD Asahina-san is just plain.......... bad actress XD I guess that's what I like about it.

I hope I didn't spoil anything for some people. Someone asked me to stop spoiling things in my Twitter (had no idea I was spoiling anything, but I guess I was...) so I decided to stop watching the series for about half a year. Surely anyone who wanted to see it, had seen it by now! And if I still spoiled things... Hey, how am I supposed to know what you watched and haven't watched XD?

Outside there's quite the layer of snow again. Poor dogs, having clumps of snow in their paws... But one of my dogs really liked snow :) So she had the most clumps to her paws XD Oh well, at least she enjoyed it!!

Cobra

2010-01-29T14:24:00.003Z

My dream last night involved a cobra... strangeness. In a basket (like stereotype india and all) and wanting to get out... and I put that thing right next to my bed as well! Strangeness!

At work, I was called twice by a secret number; so I had no idea who could be calling. They never left a message either. How am I supposed to call you back when you don't leave a message?! Okay, I dislike Voicemails, but still... accepting the voicemail and then hanging up?! Gaaah....

And when I got home, I got a call: "Hey Kitt, I want to place an order at *webshop I'm working for*, how do I place an order." And stupid me ANSWERS XD. So, when I'm away from work, I STILL help customers XD

Oh, and yesterday evening, while coming home from work... so much Midlife Crisis Cars! I think I even saw a Porsche! (Midlife Crisis Cars = cars middle aged men buy to feel young again. Not that everyone I saw has a midlife crisis, but then you know what kind of cars I mean XP). I think I saw about 10 midlife crisis cars in 7 minutes XD Was there some sort event or so?

Wow, this journal post is so chaotic XD I blame the visitor that suddenly came so everyone is talking while I try to post a post!

Bewitched

2010-01-28T09:30:00.002Z

I watched Bewitched yesterday. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give it a 6. It's a decent movie for which you need no brain, but you have to know the old series Bewitched to actually understand half of it... and at the end it got messy. Reality and television got really mixed up. (Reality in the movie, that is XD) Somehow, my fav character was Isabel's father XD And he wasn't much in it!

Also, a book I wanted for years is on its way to me, through mail. Yay! I just hope it is indeed the book I wanted... otherwise I have to send it back XD

I'm also very, very hungry.... gaaaah, need breakfast XD But it isn't ready yet.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Post 1045

2010-01-27T14:51:00.002Z

I still have no idea for my weekly comic. The only big thing that happened in my town, was that a 'playground' (Bouwspeeltuin) has been burned to the ground... on purpose! But how to make a 4 panel comic about that?!

I also finished reading Card Captor Sakura yesterday. A lot of details were noticed but still... the ending was like, 3 pages! Way too short XD They could have added a bit more drama/reunion XD They explain the bad guy's pupose in 2 chapters, but the ending is rushed into 3 pages XD

Other than that... it's wednesday again! And super cold XD So tonight I will go on my bike through super cold, to end up in a tropical swimming pool... and when I go back again, it's freezing again.

If that won't give me cold.... XD

Bittersweet

2010-01-26T09:27:00.002Z

I think I know the reason why I suddenly have bittersweet dreams (just wished I could remember them!) I've been re-reading Card Captor Sakura high-speed, just before bed (just need 2 more volumes and I'm done XD) and well... that certainly has bittersweet parts.
Though I still think Toya and Yukito are not a perfect match XP As friends, yes, but I really can't see them as lovers XD Sorry, CLAMP! Yukito is cute, Toya is cool... but together... I'm just not seeing it XP

Other than that: did a lot last night- the dishes, folding about 50 cards, started up a drawing and finishing it! All in 5 hours! Well, I think I did a lot XP

Ah, work today. What wonders and funny things will I stumble across this time?

Foodz!!

2010-01-25T16:08:00.003Z

I had a cool dream this morning XD The main office came to visit at work and brought us delicious sandwiches... with Mozerella, lettuce, Sundried Tomaties... and Tuna salad... it looked totally delicious! But when I came back from my break, L. had stolen my seat XD I looked for an other place, but it was really crowded and there was no place left.

When I came to work, L. showed up later on: "Hey Kitt, how are you doing?"
K: "Not good, now that I've seen you!"
L: "HUH?!" (L. is an angel, btw. A true angel!)
K: "Just kidding! I dreamt last night you stole my seat, but you'd never do that in real life!"
L: "Oh, that's why! Don't worry, I'd never daaaaaare to take your seat!"

It was silly fun, but fun nonetheless.

Other than that... I'm pretty slow today XD I keep on forgetting small things. I'm making a scedule for my characters so I know what everyone needs to do. It's quite tricky though. They don't have that much different chores, but I already have no idea how to make this XD But in the end, it's better for my story.

As for drawings I still want to do:

Kimu at work (hope to do that one this evening)
The First Twins (Iri and Tenshi)
Eternal Dream Star (Naraku, Yume and Suta; have this one in mind for about a year)
Good morning, Kimu (Might do that for everyone else as well)
Next reference: Blade
Future plans: Family portraits, Other references, Signature art (Characters and their hobbies etc), Royal IceHunters (a drawing with all the chiefs of the IceHunters), East and West (Girls in Eastern Clothes, Boys in Western Clothes), North and South (Male High Ones in Northern Clothes, Female High Ones in Southern Clothes), and of course: Young High Ones.

But if you have any suggestions... feel free to suggest them! Who knows!!

Title unknown

2010-01-24T20:59:00.003Z

Well, another day gone by. I wrote a new Forever Young Episode, but I'm not 100% satisfied with the ending. I might even revise it XD And trust me, I hardly ever revise anything!

I'm eating Oreo currently and I'm saying it once more: I don't get what the hype's all about XD They are not that special XD Sorry, but Oreo; I won't miss them if they are not inside my house XD And I won't buy them.

I guess that was everything. I'm going to create a time table for my characters, so I know exactly where everyone is on what moment. I have to make a few of them, in case characters go absent for a travel or so. I never did that before, hence why you can find slight plotholes if you look carefully XD Especially when it comes to guard duty!

Luckily, I doubt anyone will take the time to write down all the details and plotholes. Oh, there won't be big plotholes. Just more like: "How the heck can he be out hunting if they just had lunch!!" That kind of mistakes XD

Strange

2010-01-23T10:55:00.003Z

I have a little cutting work to do, for my expositions in April and May... dad offered me to do it, but I don't want him! He's doing so much already! It's crazy, how much he's doing for MY event. I guess that's just typical 'Dad-behaviour', ne? ^_^

Oh, and don't think I'm not working for my events. I'm creating order lists, make certain the webshop is ready, do the cutting work... I'm doing most of the digital work, he does most non-digital work.

I guess I should get him something XP But what to give to someone who wants nothing in return? Seriously, that man wants NOTHING!

I can't even get him some wine, because he still has so many bottles left.

Maybe I should suggest my mom that the two of us take him out for dinner :)

Tweets = Blog

2010-01-22T18:01:00.003Z

I almost have the same amount of Twitter Tweets as Blogposted Blogs XD. Oi! Not only that, the tweets will easily surpass my blog, since twits are easy and blogs are... less easy XD

I almost finished everything from my To Do list today, just 1 more mail to send. I'm quite proud! I will probably spend my evening off-computer, my eyes and hands do need their rest. I have a lot of cutting work (cutting out images for an example book) to do.

Sometimes I really dislike not remembering my dreams. All I remember, is that it was a bittersweet dream... but what it was about XD?

Ssst!

2010-01-21T09:35:00.003Z

I'm trying to wake up XD

And that's about all I have to say. I'm being followed by 2 new people on Twitter and when I saw who I was like: KYAAAH! Though I doubt they'll actually read what I type... XP They are way too busy for little me!

What more... picked up my passport. Now I legally can say I excist. Weird, how a funny piece of paper is needed so I can prove I'm alive. You'd think not-alive people can't walk, talk, type, draw... Still, it's also so I can prove I am indeed me and not someone else. I guess it feels strange to me because I have no need to pretend I'm someone else. I am me, simple as that.

Oh, and good news! One of our dogs, had a growth on her chin and if it would grow, it would be bad news... but it hasn't grown! So that's good news! I'm soooooo happy! *huggles dogs*

And what the heck, hugs for my dedicated readers as well!

Nothing happened

2010-01-20T20:15:00.002Z

Seriously. The most amazing thing I did today, was picking up a new passport. Woopie, so now I can prove I truely excist XD

Last night I once again dreamed/dreamt I was late for work... and I think we had a malfunctioning haunted elevator as well XP. And once again, even though I was late, I was forgiven XD But why? Why do I keep on worried about getting late for work?! I love my job and I've never been late before!

Oh well. That was it. Happy day!

Eeps!

2010-01-19T09:26:00.001Z

Need inspiration XD I'm supposed to draw a comic this week, but all I can think about is the Bicycle-checking they did yesterday... on a very unlogical/illogocal place! (I mean, right before a crossing so people can't go through any more...)

The result

2010-01-18T15:20:00.002Z

It tasted great! Everyone took seconds! No, I'm not a cook, but my experiments often turn out good. Only once or twice it turned out bad ^_^

On the dream scene, I had some odd dreams about Robot Dinosaurs, Real Dinosaurs and gigantic Romans... or perhaps I was mini myself. I also woke up about every 2 hours... *growls* That is NOT fun XD

And of course, I also woke up 10 minutes before my alarm would go off. I SO hate that XD

After work, I did some business stuff, which I will continue in a second. I'm also watching Ratatoille (or however you may spell it XD). It's a cute movie. I like Wall-e and The Incredibles better XP.

Oh, and it's raining outside again. How's THAT for randomness!

Cooking!

2010-01-17T16:56:00.003Z

Has been a while since I cooked... I'm going to 'Wok'; meaning (in my case): Kitty throws whatever she can find into one pan. We had Sweet Peppers filled with cream cheese in vegetable oil, but I prefer the peppers without oil.

So, I dumped all the vegetable oil with our meat, as well as Ketjap Manis and a dash of Chilli sauce... and we'll see how it will turn out XD And I didn't need to add extra oil for the baking!

Today I slept like a rock an did several behind things... like administration. For my company, for myself, for the event... and I think I finished the order-list I can take along to the event... Also made a flyer... You know, in retrospect it seems like I didn't do much, but I really did a lot! I almost did everything I wanted to do today.

I also started on another Evolving image. I made one 2 years ago (and it finished evolving January 2010) and people really seemed to like that concept. What people don't know, is that I'm always working ahead, so I have already enough images for the next 16 months!... and I'm not even halfway the image XD. I'm thinking about skipping a few images or posting 2 asides each other XD

Aaaaand, threw in some mushrooms with my 'Evolving dinner' XP.

I so hope I can continue on my evolving image tonight... So much still to do!!

Sst!

2010-01-16T16:20:00.002Z

Ssst! Kitty Ocean is asleep. Do not wake her up. She needs her sleep...

(PS. Swimming Class was awesome. Kids were wonderful! I love my group!)

What I can't post

2010-01-15T19:26:00.002Z

I can't post how work was today. While work went fine, some details may be used against people... people who really worked hard today! So I'm not going to talk about that. Though... I found out why I don't touch the settings of the Coffee Machine: somehow the coffee machine at work today freaked so much, a mechanic had to come.
Luckily I don't drink coffee and tea XD

Asides that, work was chaotic and busy. Managed to do some way, way behind stuff. Also, my eyes hurt due to sleep and lots of pc-activity. So today I'm not going to do more than needed!

A new dream

2010-01-14T10:01:00.002Z

Yeah, a new dream...

I was in a new zoo, which had a big pool/bassin that had sharks swimming around and people could pet them. Unfortunately, the sharks were HUGE and dangerous, so it was only for the thrillseekers. My dad and one of my swimming students (why him, from all I know!? O.o) were such thrillseekers and went into the pool.
Of course, kids fell into it as well, so they were snatched away before the jaws of death. The sharks also always tried to escape, which almost succeeded once or twice as well.

I didn't want to see it, being scared to death, so I went to see the koala's.... the koala's... Wow... And they were nocturnal in my dream as well! Which is... very strange.

But still. Huge Monsterous Killer Snatching Sharks.

Scary.

Why type the same thing twice?

For a first, but it had to come!!

I'm going to attend the Elf Fantasy Fair (Haarzuilen; 24th and 25th of April)! No, not as a visitor... as an artist! I need to get a bit more information, but chances are big I will be there as well ^_^. Visit me if you go to the Elf Fantasy Fair! (www.elffantasyfair.com )

I will also attend the Kumiko Event! This one will be in Ahoy Rotterdam, on the 1st and 2nd of May (www.kumiko.nl ). It's the first Manga Exposition of the Netherlands! If you love Manga Art, that is the place to be! And cosplayers... you can win an awesome prize there as well!!

I'm totally excited about this and I hope to meet many Deviants there! If you go to either, or perhaps both, please let me know! You'll totally recognise me because I'll hang around art that has been made by me XP

And of course, to both I'll bring along things for sale, like greeting cards with my art, posters with my art... and my novels!

A list of positive news

2010-01-12T08:53:00.002Z

Yesterday, at my town's business club, people started recognising me and walked to me. I also talked with two women a lot. I'm usually quite shy, having no one to talk to... so this was a good thing! Let's hope to keep it up!
Though my last entry was on the boarder/edge of 'is this wise?' I actually got quite some positive comments on it; especially through other ways. Funny how to see most guessed their spot exactly and how most said: "I don't need to know where I stand. I think I know and I'm happy with that." 2 people said that and man... that made me feel so good. Thank you so much!
My markers should be on it's way... will they arrive before work or not??!
I dreamt all my work's computers got infected by virusses. At first I thought I was to blame, but then it turned out it was not. My manager was all panicking so I got my brother in law XD He fixed everything easily... and then I woke up. My brother in law said he'd get that virus creator back (because it was a very simple virus) but I shall never know how... (seriously, the virus was a mah jongg mixed with hangman with bad pixels game)
Turns out two people parked their car on an empty spot. They didn't realise the spot was empty because it was on ice XD Poor people, coming back, seeing water till their windows... I honestly feel bad for then. I know, it wasn't positive news. For them anyway. I have material for a new Pen-i comic. Poor them.

My New Year's Resolution!

2010-01-11T15:12:00.003Z

Yes, I finally made one! I'm going to spend less time on people who have Dual Personalities and are Attention Hoggers.

Dual Personality: People who are totally sweet & nice in real life, but when I meet them online, they are either cranky 24/7 or even act like I'm an idiot. Well, pardon me for breathing!!
People in my friends-circle who have that: 1.5. (one person is often cranky towards me in real life as well, but not as much as in the digital world!)

Attention Hoggers: People who want to keep on hearing how much I love their *insert artistic result of choice*, demand I follow their every move (yet not returning the favour...), or who seem to want to hear how much I consider them my friends. I have faith in our friendship; why can't you?! They also tend to go 'Woe is me!' or, and this kind I actually dislike most: they brag about how great they are. Some don't even realise they are doing it, though.
People in my friends-circle who are that: 3. I'm sorry, but I have my own life. I can't spend MY TIME on YOU all the time. A good friend knows how to give and receive, so they listen to me when I have a problem. I don't mind following up on your life, but don't call me selfish if I spend 30 minutes on my own problems.

Fun Fact: 1 Attention Hogger said I was begging for attention because of this blog. Well, DUH! This is MY blog! 'Kitty Ocean's boredom!'. But honestly, I don't care if you read it or not. It's something for me and if you honestly think I'm begging for attention because of this... *rolls eyes*. Notice the almost 3 year hiatus? I don't want to complain that much any more!

... yes, I know this blog post is a complaint. Again: my blog. Not yours. There's a little square with an 'x' in your upper right corner. Go ahead, click on it. Even if you turn away, I will keep on posting.

Why? Because I can.

As for my friends... I have a few zones.

The Super Special Zone: People who are the closest to me and who I consider my best of best of best friends. I have currently 2 people in this zone.

The Special Zone: People who are close to me and whom I truely consider friends. I have 3 people in this zone as well.

The Zone: My good friends. Some lean towards the Special Zone boarder, some lean towards the outer boarder... some are in the middle. Most people are here.

The Outer Boarder: People who are still in The Zone, but have to be careful. No, I'm not threatening. You have people who are in that region as well. They have hurt your feelings a few times, but you decided to forgive them, probably even thinking 'they didn't mean it that way'. Still, if they will hurt your feelings again, you will decide if it's worth keeping them.
The Attention Hoggers are in this zone.

Outside: People who hurt your feelings really good. You are willing to forgive them, but they have to do the first step. My quote: "They have a problem with me, I don't have a problem with them." I currently have 2 people in this zone. Willing to forgive them, but if they won't see they are ruining a friendship... their loss. Not mine.

Severed the Bond: You have to do a lot of mending to get back into one of the zones again. Currently I have 5 people in this zone. They betrayed my trust, my friendship and abused me on several ways (not physically, but mentally), or said things I can't forgive them. I won't be fooled again by them. Luckily, 1 person I won't be seeing again, and 2 people I probably won't be seeing any year soon XP

I don't give a ****: I won't forgive you. Ever. 1 person is in this zone. Oh wait. 2. I don't care what you think, but you've betrayed me so much, there's no word for it. Funny thing, 1 was during High School. I almost failed a class because of that person... and the reason I disliked doing group activities. The reason why I rather do a whole report on my own and others can tag along.

So, a little insight on me. I won't reveal who is where. If you want to know so badly where you stand... you have little faith in the friendship we share. Believe in it. I believe in you, so all you have to do, is believe it yourself...

My new fav author!

2010-01-10T21:05:00.003Z

I have a new fav author... my dad. Does he write? Nopes. But he translates my novels into Dutch. When I first gave it to him and read the first version, I was really tearing my hair out. And now, reading the 8th version... and WOW!

Is this written by the same person who did the first version?! He even added some smart-ass jokes! "That's Mardok's horse underneath your holy butt!" - I never used that in the English version! But it's sooooo fitting!!

I've honestly enjoyed reading my own book XD Is that bad?

Anyway, I'm really busy lately. Sometimes it feels too crowded, but I think I'm finding a balance now. One day I will find that balance!

The result

2010-01-09T10:02:00.003Z

I slept WONDERFUL! It was chilly in the beginning, but slept like a dream. I had a funny dream as well, about zoos and petting zoos. I helped out and I suddenly came across a guy who bought a new car (second hand). It was cerulean blue, but when he washed it, it suddenly got all kinds of colours, like red, orange... and ending up in yellow. The dude was totally ticked off, btw XD. Yelling how he was conned; he had bought a blue car!
I was forced to take a message and I wrote down the message in clay... that one was strange. And of course, someone deleted my message XD

I want to do all my online stuff now, so I have drawing time this afternoon/evening. Book 3 cover... here I come!!!

A list I did today

2010-01-08T17:54:00.002Z

Slept like crap. Took me about an hour to fall asleep and then balanced on the edge/boarder of sleep and awake for about 45 minutes before having to wake up. Means I slept about 5.5-6 hours. To have to be able to put up some sort of honest smile, I need at least 8 hours. Hopefully, tonight will will bring something better...
Had work; luckily only four hours. If it would have been more...
Did some shopping. Bought chocolate. Haven't eaten it yet. Straaaaange.
Had to walk the dogs in the freezing cold. I hope they appreciate it!
Did some e-mail, scanned and realised how I don't want to treat other people. And the best way you learn that is when you're treated on a way you don't want to be treated yourself. No, I won't go into details.
Also, I can't seem to understand why I have a subscription, but often seem to get my magazines days after they get into the store. *rolls eyes*
Archonia decided to split up my order into 2 seperate cases, with the exact same result, but it means I will get my order... within the next week XP. So, if it's the same result... why not? Smaller means easier to take along/to handle! Also, because I had to wait about half a year, I'm getting a really BIG discount! I can buy 5 manga with that discount! Hurray for Archonia!
I now understand how frustrating it is if Customer Service does not read your e-mail. It's not that hard. Just open your eyes and let them walk over the words. Discover them. Take them in. ANSWER THE QUESTION I STATED IN THE MAIL. It would be nice.
And there's this whole empty spot in this afternoon. I know I worked quite a lot, but what... just here and there, this and that. But I can't seem to find the words. Probably scanning, webcomic creating and mailing.

Yes, I'm tired. Very. Never noticed? XP

I forgot

2010-01-07T10:40:00.002Z

I forgot how much I loved Maple Town. I found someone who has uploaded all(?) episodes on YouTube. I only saw a few clips and nostalgia kicked in. Maple Town is an anime as well; maybe that's why I already loved it so much. A children's series, dealing with the possibility of a miscarriage... if you read it like this, you may raise an eyebrow, but you should see the episode to know how-what-when-why.

I'm also watching Chi's Sweet Home... Cuteness!! I dislike cats (because they always put their nails into my legs or stuff their butt in my face), but Chi is just too adorable!!

Biological Clock

2010-01-06T14:43:00.002Z

No, no, not a midlife-crisis! Not even a quarter-life one! No, no, this is something diffent.

This morning, I woke up at 7:39 am. My alarm goes off at 7:40 am.
So, cranky, I get up. 'Couldn't I have stayed asleep for one more freaking moment... *mutter, mutter* Stupid morning....'
And then I noticed: 7:41 am.
And my alarm, which is my cellphone, did NOT go off!
'Eh... where is my cellphone actually?!'
Turns out my cellphone was still downstairs and if I hadn't woken up, I would have overslept!!... luckily I always have a back-up alarm XP That one goes at 7:45 am.

Also, if you're Dutch, check out www.kumiko.nl -> Artiesten. See a familiar name there?? If you are a cosplayer, or know a cosplayer, then check out the contest! The prizes are awesome =D

And who knows, maybe I'll see you there =D

Keep In Mind will be there as well :)

Too busy

2010-01-05T09:13:00.001Z

Waaah, I'm so stressed today XP So much to do! So, I'm keeping this blogpost short today... THIS short XD Bye again!

I love to RULE!

2010-01-04T14:18:00.002Z

I totally loved last night's dream. I went back to High School, wanting to graduate it for a second time. There was this twit (classmate I don't know in real life) who thought she was totally awesome and better than me, though. I raised my hand to give my own insight and she reluctantly gave me permission to speak... but she totally not listened!

When I noticed that, I got up angry. "At least have the decency to listen to someone!" I walked towards the door. "If Mister Baas asks, I'm not feeling good any more and going to the bathroom." Apparantly, my old English teacher was suddenly giving Geography, even though he was not present...

I felt bad about leaving the room though; I really regretted it. But when the break started, F, an old classmate from me, said I did the right thing. I also met up with Y, an old friend of mine, and we wanted to look for a place to spend our break.

"Oh, I don't think we can still claim our old spot." I said, and Y. suggested picking an empty block as our new spot. However, another (or perhaps the same?) bratty kid claimed this was her spot and that I, 'the loser', should leave. I grabbed her collar, looking directly into her eyes: "I came back to get my diploma for a second time... do you honestly think I'm scared of someone like you?!"

The brat was totally insulted and called her best friend; a tall, strong looking girl... I saw the girl and: "Hey, M!" It was a girl I'm watching on DA. "How nice to meet you! I'm the turtle freak from DA!" And we ended our happy conversation with: "I'll let the storytelling over to your friend... if she dares to speak the truth."

Then, I had to rush to classroom number 4, and getting late would mean the doors would be closed! But, as a newbie, I had trouble finding it, yelling: "Almost there, I'm coming!" Barely I made it in time... but was this the right room? There was a whole science lab! Oh wait, the cinema where I had to be, was right behind it.

During the movie, Miss Brat from the beginning tried to disturb the lesson, but accidentally set the christmas tree on fire. With a lot of trouble and effort, I managed to use my magical powers (eh??!) to control the fire within my hands... and then I had to rush outside! I muttered something, I don't remember what, but probably something like: "Why do I always have to clean up after others?" and let the fire go when I was outside.

The accident was then repeated from multiple angles XP And then I woke up!

But I felt GOOOOOOD

Dreams

2010-01-03T11:12:00.002Z

I've been having a lot of bad dreams lately. Last night I dreamt about going on a holiday... and a T-Rex came to eat them all. We got away, but I just knew the T-Rex could come back any moment. I also dreamt that I was back in the swimming pool building and that they changed the placing of the girl's and the boy's locker room. So I litterary threw out boys, while they were on the right place and I was not! Embarressing!
After that, I dreamt I was in a huge toy store... but somehow I couldn't get my eyes open. That happened earlier in dreams; I can't keep my eyes open then and if I finally succeed, I barely see anything. I'm not panicking then, nor am I tripping over things... but it isn't normal.

I guess I need to learn how to get to bed early again XP Holidays always throw me off.

Well, I'm off to write FYE5 again :) I got an awesome scene in mind, but darn it, that is for the end of the next saga XD Meaning I can't write it for months XD Drats!!

shudder

2010-01-02T17:10:00.002Z

Yesterday I tried watching 'The sixth sense'; a movie that is portrayed as the genre 'thriller'. I don't like thrillers. Thrillers scare me. Horror even more. Personally, I didn't think the movie was that scary, but the dreams I had that following night...

I'm not going to watch thrillers 4 hours before sleeping. Seriously. Ever again. And I'm not even going to try horrors. *nods affirmative*

Other than that... I wrote FY again today. Tomorrow is probably the last time I can write for a long time; luckily I can end the Helena-saga then. Took longer than expected! And again a Kai x Rain joke XD I just can't help myself XD

And even if Kai and Rain defend themselves... Kai always is the one to stir up the old rumours... XD

Just one line...

2010-01-01T19:38:00.001Z

Wishing you the best for the New Year; that your dreams may be fulfilled in 2010!

Strange...

2009-12-30T14:54:00.003Z

At work, I found out that K. and I share quite a lot of history... and I never recognised her! She did recognise me... and now it turns out she knows S. as well.

S., my childhood.... well, if I'd say nemisis, I'd be totally overreacting. But still, S. was very arrogant, but everyone adored her, thinking she was Miss Perfect.

And now K. told me: "Oh yes, I know S. as well! She totally hates it if people drool about her like that."

And I was like: '...Eh...? Are we talking about the same S.?'

She now seems to hate it if people say she is so wonderful all the time. She seemed to dig that during High School. So, that leaves me with 2 options:

1. S. outgrew her arrogant phase and grew some modesty. That would be like, totally wow.

2. S. only says that hoping she'd attract attention (which she used to do); kinda like: "Oh, but I'm not perfect at aaaaaaaaaaall, I don't know whyyyyyyy people keep on saying that?" (I knew 2 other people on High School who kept on saying that as well; getting straight A's all the time- J. and H.)

Maybe I should give her a chance again. She wasn't not-talented (heck, part of me is jealous because she became totally famous and is AGAIN worshipped), so the fact she gets to play on all kinds of TVshows must be because she grew into a more talented person... but it's the arrogance I hate, as well as that everybody adored her, saying, and I'm not kidding about that, she could never make a mistake because she was soooooo talented. That's what I hated even more than her own arrogance: the fact people almost worshipped her as if she was a god (I am NOT kidding! I'm serious about this!).

The jealousy towards her may stay; that only helps me improve (I'm jealous at many friends of mine; jealousy and friendship CAN mix!)... but maybe I should give her a chance: people can change. Maybe she really grew out of her arrogance....

Yeah, maybe that's a good New Year's Resolution: give S. a chance to prove she indeed changed. I haven't given her that chance for ages (maybe a little bit childish of me ^_^', I admit!), so perhaps now is the time to do so.

Wishing you luck, S., and truely meaning it! If K. is indeed right and you lost your arrogance, then I wish you all the best and a beautiful carreer on stage, TV and heck, even Hollywood!

Closing off this part of my life... Right in time for the New Year!!

Buzzzzziness

2009-12-29T09:22:00.002Z

Random title with a random blog. Yesterday I started a large drawing and I want to scan it before colouring... too bad I first have to do my webcomic; otherwise I'd have to scan twice! Scanning is not the problem, but booting up/shutting down the computer and the scanner twice.... 30 minutes I could use drawing my webcomic XP I want to finish my 'to do stuff' as soon as possible, so I can spend my New Year's Eve in peace! W00t!

Just closing off projects, so I can start new ones... and the new ones are for the Kumiko Event in may!!

sighs sad

2009-12-28T16:25:00.003Z

A store I visited every 3 weeks has decided to close... and another store I liked has closed as well. So many stores, just before 2010... closing the doors. It's sad. It does save me about 2 hours once-every-three-weeks, so it does help... but to end it like that...

Anyway, on happier news... I survived christmas, had fun with friends and family... hold on, what was I going to tell? Oh yeah, I wrote some FY chapters! Finally, I was writing again! It felt so good! And tonight, I'll go drawing again :)

I do feel swamped again XD One thing at a time, please!

Wishing ye all well for the last few days of the year... and of course wishing you the best for the entire 2010!

Hope you had a nice christmas!

2009-12-26T18:15:00.002Z

I had a fine one as well :) Though my brother in law is way better at any game at the Wii... Drats! A well, he games way, way more often.
I also noticed, in both the online as the offline world... people are really cranky nowadays. Whenever I try to help, show interest... they reply super snappy! Well excuuuuuuuse me (ala Link from Zelda) for being INTERESTED in your life. Or that I was trying to help!
I'd turn my back to them, but they are within my circle of friends and family... and co workers. I guess they all must have the Christmas Snappy Blues or so...

Well, I'm off to do some more online stuff, so I can continue my writing! Happy 2nd christmas day/26th of December!

There's not much to say

2009-12-24T09:09:00.002Z

Sorry, there isn't. Maybe tonight, though today if filled with work and cleaning up... I'll probably move my laptop to the attic as well XD It's colder there, but tomorrow the family will come for christmas and the table is needed for food.

Reminds me off, I need food XD

I wish you all a wonderful holiday-time... enjoy the time off!!

That you may get lotsa presents!!

Brrrr

2009-12-23T19:51:00.002Z

All that title-making-up is getting tricky/hard XD. Anyway, it's cold here XP The snow is melting, or was melting today, so getting around by bike is getting easier. Work was okay, as always. Not much to say. A lot of people are stressed and will probably stay stressed.

After work I went with my mom to the garden mall because there was a sale; 40% off on the little houses people can put on a table or so. Just not Dickensville, because that is ugly painted XD (sorry!) We prefer department. We bought a castle today =D Hurray! But we spend quite a lot ^_^'

Anyway, I have 2 e-mails left to send and to update my site. The updating shouldn't take long, the mails either... but we wanna show stuff to dad and go to bed early XP

Polar Express... sighs

2009-12-22T08:31:00.003Z

Well, I saw the Polar Express yesterday and well... even though I had heard it wasn't the best one... I hardly watched it; focused more on online stuff and to do stuff. It was entertainable, but I honestly didn't miss a thing.
And why does Santa Claus need so much movies? To proove his existance? Do people have that little faith in him? St. Nicolas only now starts to get movies; for 500 years he did without.

No, the Polar Express is not the best one and I can't really recall a Christmas Movie I can watch over and over again. Most are sappy.

Talking about sappy... I just recalled: while in the way, way past they showed Labyrint each year, they now show Harry Potter each year. Movies 2 till 4 again. Not that those movies are sappy btw. I may not like the movies and story, but the effects are good. But to be forced to watch Harry Potter 2 for the 7th time? Okay, I'll be in my room, if anyone is looking for me.

Well, today work from 12:30 till 9 pm. Thus far no new snow has appeared, but they expect snow later today again. I'll get to my work, but the way back...? Oh well, it'll probably be fine. If I pay attention, if people pay attention....

Oh wait, that would mean thinking about others XD Some people think that's very hard XP

So, there's snow?

2009-12-21T16:43:00.003Z

It's strange. Everyone I know: "We've never had this much snow before!" Even my parents! And I'm like: "Really? We haven't? Oh..." I somehow have trouble believing that we never had 50 centimeters snow in my lifetime XD But appearantly, we haven't XP

As expected, I was one of the few with little problems with getting to work. The way back, on broad daylight and with some snow melted, was way more dangerous because of some car-drivers thinking it was crazy that some bike-people were on the road, instead of the heaps of snow. While most, and I mean about 75% of the drivers then, were careful, thought about the people on bikes, some people thought it was okay to keep the normal speed limit *rolls eyes*

Well, I have lots of mini chores to do. I want to write, but it's too busy now. I wrote yesterday, but it's missing The Spark. I want The Spark back *sighs* Why do I keep on losing it?

Oh well, we'll see... it's supposed to snow again tonight XP What shall we see tomorrow...?

Let it snow, let it snow...

2009-12-20T13:27:00.003Z

Wow, look at all that snow... a table in our garden hasn't been cleaned ever since the snow started falling 3 days ago and wow... it's like 40 centimetres now! That's HUGE! And about 30 centimeters were from this morning!

And probably, tomorrow, I'm one of the few who won't have much problem to get to my work. If needed, I can even walk. Sure, I'd be on the road for about 45 minutes, but I can walk it. Though I'd totally prefer my bike XD Let's keep an eye on the weather...

Yesterday I went to André Rieu's Christmas Concert and I really enjoyed it! I doubt any of my readers will go tonight but if they do, you might want to turn away! Spoilers ahead then!

We planned on leaving early so we could be there when the doors would open, which would mean 2 hours early. Halfway we had to stop though, because I really had to go ^_^'. This stop only took 10 minutes, so we arrived at Arnhem only a tad after 6 p.m. (Doors are now open). We found the parking lot easy, but WOW! BUSY!
It took about half an hour to parc our car and then 15 more minutes to wait for the bus that would bring us to the concert hall. Seriously, there were way too little busses ^_^'. And it was cooooold!
When we got there, we had to look for our entrance, which was seriously on the other side. We first decided to make a little pitstop before looking for our places. Eventually, we were there half an hour before curtains. It took us almost 1.5 hours to parc the car and get to our places!!
I thought we had really great places, but alas... on the field is only interesting if you're in front. When everybody would stand up, I couldn't see a thing any more! Even if I stood up myself! And when I was seated, I could hardly see a thing as well. Luckily they had big screens, but to pay 75 euros to watch tv....
Anyway, the second song really reminded me of Kimu; too bad I didn't hear the name of the song *sighs*.
The music was awesome, especially when 400 trumpetplayers entered the hall to join them! 400 trumpets; all kinds of them! (Tuba, Trombone...). Amazing Grace then certainly gives goosebumps... btw, so does Memories (Cats) sung by Marusha (sp?), one of André Rieu's star singers.
Anyway, another surprise guest was Mr Wijdbeens, one of André van Duin's characters. Yes, André van Duin came as well ^_^. He's one of my fav comedians of the Netherlands. Sure, a bit over the top, but it was really funny. Such a big, big suitcase for a little conductor's stick XD.
He later came back with a woman, who he did more sketches with in the past. The photojoke was old, but still fun XD
After that sketch André van Duin came back and sang Het Dorp, a very sad, nostalgic song that's about 30 years old, maybe older. It was beautiful :)

Behind me sat a woman who sang along with every tune. And I mean EVERY tune in EVERY language. She either was part of the crew, had practised, or had visited a lot more shows. It was actually quite annoying ¬¬.
During the break, people all rushed to the restrooms. It was really crowded and you know... OLD PEOPLE ARE RUDE!

People from around 40-50 years old pushed in my back ('Hurry! Hurry!') or cut lines (and I just politely wait my turn...). Seriously, if another person from that age bracket dares to say 'Young people these days', they will hear a few things from me! Yes, young people can be rude, but seriously, the things I saw yesterday... Pot calling kettle black!!

On the way back home, I fell asleep in the car XP We were home around 1 am and I slept like a brick XD And when I woke up this morning, it has snowed again... and it's snowing still!

But hey, I'm in my bed, with a warm blanket (though I will get an extra jacket XD) and I have time... TO WRITE! FINALLY!!

Freezing?

2009-12-19T11:21:00.002Z

According to my Windows Vista Temprature Thingie, it's -10 Deegrees in the town next to mine. So, that means it should be -9, -10 or even -11 here. Wow... COOOOOLD!!

This morning I feared I would have gotten up early for nothing XD All the kids from swimming class were late!... though eventually only 2 showed up XD Mou, I could have stayed in bed, but I had a lot of fun with 1 kid XD

"Miss, can you hold my locker key for me?"
"Sure, just give it to me!"
*after class*
"See you next year, Miss!"
"No, see you later."
"No, it's vacation, so it's see you next year!!"
"I'm still saying, see you later."
*kid leaves, confused*
*6 minutes later*
"Miss.... can I have my locker key back please?"
"Told you: see you later!"

That is always fun :)

Also, we have a new tram here, that doesn't stop on all stations. It's meant for very busy hours... but of course, people forgot it doesn't stop on all stations and thus... missed theirs XD And of course, the usual grumpy people: "They paid so much for this piece of junk and I can't even sit!"
... It's a tiny tram that goes faster than the usual tram. Perhaps you should try REALISM for once! This person probably expects to get a 5 star dinner at a snack bar *shakes head*

Some girls buy bags...

2009-12-18T18:15:00.002Z

I buy bags too!!...mainly laptop bags XD Or laptop sleeves. Or bags that can hold my art supplies... but never for fashion XD I know some people don't like that, but hey, better on functional bags than ehm... I dunno.... candy?

Though I bought white chocolate :) MJAM!

But I didn't find doilies XD Darn.

What else. Well, the entire day I'm freaking happy. Like I send my dad through cellphone: The sun is shining, the birds are whistling, the fishes are singing!

It's a very jolly day!!

No post today

2009-12-17T09:30:00.002Z

My mood is too bad for one. Everytime I arrange something, people eventually cancel... AFTER I spenned money! And now I AGAIN have to look for someone who will go instead....

Me ish proud!

2009-12-16T15:26:00.002Z

I did more of my to do list than I planned! Yay! That means I can play Knight Shift again tonight! I wanted to play the Sims, but that's on the computer on the attic and well... it's COLD there XD No heater there. I had a heater, but my baby-niece needs it XD And well, can't say no to a BABY, ne?

Today I had work. Nothing special. I thought about trying to find new Paper Doilies in the stores (http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11099194/Paper_Doilies_Doyley.jpg ) but I figured I could use the time today and still do it on friday or so. It's not like people NEED the brushes I'm making...

If you happen to have paper doilies (taartranden), I would MOST appreciate it if you'd scan one for me, with a red, dark blue or black paper behind it, so I can turn it into an Adobe Photoshop brush. I want to gather as much as possible!!

Ahaaa! A day no post!

2009-12-15T09:02:00.002Z

Aren't you all happy?! A day no post! Sunday I finished drawing Matsuru's reference, so that was about it. Now yesterday...

I started with working. Again a Belgium person who says we're discriminating Belgium people. Why does everyone agree with our terms except for those Belgium people?! French, German, Australian... they all agree! Oh, and we have a lot of Belgium Customers, but it seems the smart Belgium people don't say they are from Belgium.
Still, I have faith there are smart Belgium people; I know about 10 smart Belgium people! (which are all the Belgium people I know and call my friends XP). And I know plenty stupid Dutch people by the way. Had another high of Dutch Stupidity at work as well. Why do Dutch people NOT READ the terms of service and then claim we are being frauds? That's so typically Dutch! Hiding their own stupidity by yelling at others.

Anyway, after work I went home and called the Bike Shop to make an appointment for my 6 month check-up. "Oh, we are free now, can you bring it now?"... Eh, sure! So, my afternoon was totally gone.
But the dude who checked my bike... had poor eyesight. So I thought: "A BLIND guy is going to fix my bike?!" but he did an AWESOME job! I totally feel safe again! Two thumbs up for the Bike Store!

When my bike was done, dad wanted to show the new car they are going to get saturday or so and of course that meant hours and hours of talking.

I came home, stuffed my dinner inside and got ready for the presentation I had to give. I was allowed to give 3 presentations, but only the first time people showed up. But I don't mind, because the guy with the most critism came back and asked if Manga Art could be used for other things... and if it could help him pick up realism again. I told him it could offer a basic, but eventually practise was what was needed most.

And after that I went home and got to bed. I dreamt about a city that was like a zoo and a Tyrannosaurus Rex broke loose (why was it ther anyway?!). Of course it started munching people, but I told people to flood an indoor theater so we could save the pinguins and dolphins. And wow, people listened. For once, people listened to me and did what I told them to do.
I saved many people, but some still got chewed down and eventually the world inside (which turned huge!) was split among the people who saved the day... except me. I wasn't allowed to 'rule' a part of our zoo-world... Turns out the lady who split everything had a meaning with that, but of course I woke up before I found out why...

But there was a guy with a green/black jester suit and I wore a blue/black jester suit.... Just before I woke up. I seemed to be upset with him....

Eh? Twice?

2009-12-13T15:46:00.002Z

Yesterday my second order arrived as well... why does TNT deliver twice a day? And I'm not talking about parcels and mail; I'm talking about mail and mail! Straaaaange.
Anyway, yesterday... let's see:

- Gave swimming class; went okayish
- Came home, had breakfast/brunch
- Did some work for a student
- Art student came; had fun
- Afterwards working on another art reference. Images are done; needs some colouring and then Matsuru's Reference is done!

Today I once again planned to write, but if there's a visitor, I simply can't focus. It's impolite to stay in my room then; even if people tell me it's okay.
And crud, it took me 3 hours to do all my online stuff ¬¬. Slowness....

I'm very cranky today. VERY.

Worst Case Scenario

2009-12-12T12:19:00.004Z

I order a DVD for my dad at the store I work for.
Yesterday I got a mail it was shipped; a day early. So, I was happy.
It didn't arrive in the mail today...
And the worst thing is that I know I don't have to mail the Customer Service because I know what the answer will be!
*sighs* I assume the DVD will come monday with the mail; probably has been mis-sorted or so. It happened before... but it's annoying because I know the procedures and because something that has been shipped later did arrive!!

But honestly... if it does get lost... I might even be better off...

Yesterday

2009-12-11T13:13:00.005Z

Yesterday was a new level of stupidness on my work. Not only the customers, btw. But let's not say bad things about people who don't read what the other has said. Anyway, some people seem to think the world revolves around them and yesterday, I'm sorry to say it, 80% of the belgium customers acted like we were the bad guys.

"I don't live in abroad, I live in Belgium!"

... well yeah, from the Netherlands' point of view, you are living in a foreign country XD. Very abroad... Or maybe it's an expression of the wish Belgium should merge with the Netherlands...?

"You are obligated to ship that product to Belgium, because the European Union said borders should not constrict shops."

... but isn't it our shop? Isn't it our choice what we send abroad and what not? (Note: I won't say what it was, but you can assume it was a product that was very pricey and risky to ship I-don't-know-how-many-kilometres)

"I will report you with [name of Customer Organisation]!"

Oh, but this is serious then! Oh, wait. That's a Belgium Customer Organisation. Dutch shop, DUTCH LAW!

And an old one, but always a classic:

"I saw on your webshop you were open on sunday so I drove all the way to your shop and you weren't open at all!!"

We are a webshop. A 100% webshop. Our CUSTOMER SERVICE is open on Sunday. We don't even have a physical store!!

I am so glad I also know people from Belgium who DO have brains! So don't worry, I don't think Belgium people are stupid. Just the ones pointed out above ^_^. And it's a coincidence they are from Belgium, btw. It just has to be....

Post 1001

2009-12-10T09:23:00.003Z

...and live moves on.

Well, I slept very deep last night, dreaming about a lot of cars broken into as well as a teacher trying to kick from school, which she did, but a friend of mine made his own school and we all lived happily ever after.

Lately I'm not sleeping that great, probably because I'm going to bed irregular again. I need to be strong and just say: It's 11 pm, now I'm going to bed and not going to be distracted any more!... yeah right, like I can be that strong ¬¬

I'm also scanning Paper Doilies (sp?) lately, to make a brush set for my friends. If you want a brush set with those decorative papers they put underneath cakes, just let me know! And if you have some yourself, please scan they with a red or black background so I can turn them into brushes =D I already have 6 converted and got 2 donated!

Hurray!!

Post 1000!

2009-12-09T21:23:00.002Z

And let's waste it! W00t!!

Today I got gifts again, aaaaaalll the way from the USA. It even contained things from my wishlist =D Yay! I love my friends!! Special paper, special pens, Chobits Anime box... Japanese spoken, English subtitles! Yay! I checked it, and it seems like it's a complete edition. I wouldn't know for sure until I watched all; the japanese on the packaging... well... I'm not that good at japanese... kinda like... not at all XP

Other than that... I planned to pre-update my webshop, but alas: again no time XD Perhaps friday. The How to draw books I received gave me inspiration for Eternity 3's Cover, but I already had a few failed attempts XP.

Swimming class went okay. One of the kids had an exam, but she has a medical condition so she can't do everything a 'normal' person can. Still, she did a very intense part without resting, so we agreed the 2 metres under water she missed could be forgiven. We thought about splitting the assignment, so she did MORE than we expected :) Go for it, T!

And last night I dreamt about M. from High School. I always thought she was a friend, but I realised she never saw me like that when she dropped out. We were working on an assignment together and when she dropped out, she took along all the notes and left me with all the work. She doesn't look like the drop out type, but apparantly she couldn't wait before she did. I barely passed that class because of her; explaining it in my report that she suddenly left me with all the work... but the teacher was the kind of 'Heart of stone'. "Your partner left you behind? Your problem!" The things I did, trying to get the notes I needed... took me 3 weeks before her SISTER handed them over, while M. lived about 3 MINUTES from High School.
... So why did I dream about her, all of a sudden? I can't remember what it was about though.

Ooh, there goes my memory again: total blank. I woke up, was cold all morning, worked, went home, did online stuff, the dishes, received a package with GIFTS and left for swimming class... and updated my website.
That was about it. And now, off for bed! Yay!!

2009-12-08T08:51:00.002Z

Almost 1000 posts... and I don't seem to care at all XD Maybe because I've been having 759 twitter posts already? Twitter is easier and even more random...

Well, last night I watched Flightplan on TV; that movie certainly had me fooled! Very interesting :) Kudos to the crew and actors! After that, I put on Hairspray, but I'm starting to get an overload XP Woops; I always do that with movies I like!

This night I dreamt my parents and I were getting a little vacation cottage... kinda, because it was in a tower and the top was filled with super awesome sporting equipment. Some girls laughed about how I looked and one tried to punch me, but I managed to defeat her easily. Then all the girls attacked me, as well as my sister, but I seemed unbeatable XP

I also started gathering Harry Potter items on Gaia Online again. That Memory Vial quest is soooo annoying. Seriously! It's so random!!

Post 998

2009-12-07T15:07:00.002Z

I might have been a little bit too excited about Ponyo yesterday ^_^' . Woops! Anyway, I should have found my brain again.

Today I got my order of X the Movie, an anime that was euro 4.99. For that price... We'll see :) It's only JP/Dutch sub, so I can't watch it during drawing. That's a downer though, I like to draw and watch movies; it's often really relaxing... though drawing often goes very slow then XD

Anyway, I forgot to take my tablet along to work (I use it at work because of RSI-prevention) but things went fine. My company seems to have survived St. Nicolas; me ish proud of all the people who worked to make it a succes! Seriously, because a lot of orders were placed!! Kudos to all! (Not me, because I couldn't work overtime and I was pretty slow today XP)

Afterwards I went to change cards again and looked for 'Pie Papers', those decorative paper circles people put underneath their pies. I scan them and convert them into Adobe Photoshop Brushes. Thus far I had converted 3 and today I found 3 more. I actually only need 1 sheet though... but the rest can always be used in the future or be given away :)

So now I have 6 different sheets of Pie Paper, 3 already converted and 3 to be converted... but I could use more XP

Cutie-cutie!

2009-12-06T19:34:00.002Z

I'm watching Ponyo now; in Dutch, so I can be online and watch tv at the same time. It's cuuuute!! I prefer the Japanese version (I assume anyway), but it'll be a bit hard to combine otherwise..

Hehe... Baka Baka Baka Baka XD If you don't know what that means, you'll miss the entire joke.

Anyway, today I finished Grasshopper's reference and started on Matsuru's.

Yes, that is all I have to say. ... Did I even post yesterday? Typing a blogpost and watching Ponyo isn't easy to combine XD

Let's pick one!

.... *turns of the computer*

Ponyo!!

My employer's employer is so spoiling me XD Double value coupons because of a cancelled order, free shipment... This is fun XD Don't spoil me too much, I might get used to it!!

Also, my order:

"Oh, I just got home, let's see how far the shipment is, so I know if it will arrive soon."
- click, click, click -
"In distribution... all right, not within the hour at least. As soon as it gets 'Chauffeur on his way', I have to stay downstairs."
- closes screen, opens another screen -
= DING DONG =
"Good morning, Miss, your order!"
"...But I just checked 2 minutes ago! It said nothing about arriving soon!"
"Well, Miss, we are just fast today!"

Well, I'd say! Awesome dude, btw. I know he doesn't like dogs, so I keep my dogs in the room. He's very friendly and patient; way better than the previous one. That one = DING DONG GONE =.

Other than that... mwah, not much to say... but I can draw today! Which means YAY!

In Dutch

2009-12-04T14:59:00.003Z

The following message will be in Dutch because I don't want certain people to know/read about it. Some already know it, so...

Also, I want to prevent a online translator still reveals the deal, so, excuse my creative writing.

Gisteren ging ik zoals altijd naar mijn werk. Nat, ja dat wel, maar ach, die regen... Op een simpel kruispunt, wat al jaren bestaat, zag een Oto (fonetisch geschreven) mij ietwat te laat. Ik kon nog net mijn been wegtrekken, anders had deze zo tussen de bumpur (bewuste spellingsfout) en mijn fiets frame gezeten.
De Oto schampte mijn achterkant, maar ik kon nog net blijven zitten. Uit schrikreactie even 'Wat een idioot' gezegd en toen, met mijn blonde domme kop... doorgereden. De bestuurder haalde me in: "Het spijt me, ik zag je echt niet! Ik zag je echt niet!" En ik weer, met mijn blonde stomme kop: "Het geeft niets, ik ben in orde, alleen maar geschrokken."

En beiden gaan hun eigen weg. 50 meter verderop: PSSSSSSS.... band leeg. Nou, niet echt leuk dus. En waar denk ik alleen maar aan: "Sjit, straks kom ik te laat op mijn werk!" En uiteraard komt het op dat moment met bakken uit de hemel.

Snel fiets parkeren en naar binnen. "Als ik maar op tijd ben, dan kan ik vragen of ik iets later mag beginnen om even bij te komen..." Kom ik de Planner en HR-manager (toch?) tegen: "Jeetje, regent het zo erg?"
"Oh, dat komt meer omdat ik net ben aangerijden (ja, bewust!)."
HR wil er uiteraard het fijne van weten en drie minuten later sta ik voor mijn Teamleader: "Hey, ik ben net aangerijden...."
"Ja, dat hoorde ik van (Planner)!"
".... Wanneer heeft hij dat dan verteld?! Zag hem drie minuten geleden!"

Enniewee, iedereen heel aardig en 's avonds opgehaald door mijn Pa. Fiets achterin, naar huis, en thuis bleek alleen het ventiel losgeschoten te zijn. Dus ik vannochtend blij dat mijn band nog vol was.... maar ik hobbelde de hele weg.
Een slag in mijn band of een bobbel in mijn band; dat is nog niet duidelijk... er is bijna niets zichtbaar, maar goed, ik ben in orde en die schade... misschien dekt de verzekering dit alsnog. Het is immers mijn eerste aanreding (ja, weer bewust!) in mijn hele leven....

Yeah, so that's what happened :)

Dogs, rain and yawns

2009-12-03T08:49:00.003Z

My dog was staring at her reflection for 2 minutes, totally frozen... until she finally realised nothing was going to happen XP Weird dog.

And it's raining again today; what a surprise! It has neeeeeeever rained here before! It's okay, as long as I'm inside, but I fear, that when I leave the house... it's not going to be 'I'm singing in the rain', but 'I'm growling in the rain'.

Man, I'm cranky. I woke up halfway an intense dream (half of the dream I was sick, btw) and I just know that when I lay myself down again, I'll fall asleep right away. I doubt the dream would continue plus there is stuff I need to do so crap, I can't go back.

Tomorrow I'll be rushing from one side to another again *sighs* And saturday I need to update my webshop... and I need to add new items as well!

When will I ever be able to write again?!

Impatience!!

2009-12-02T20:17:00.003Z

Waah, I ordered something from Marktplaats, the Dutch Ebay and I am sooooo excited!! The seller sounds really trustworthy (though no worries, I shall always be carefull! Been fooled before!) so I hope the books will arrive the next week...

But why did he tell me there were more books of that series?! I found another book I want XD I thought my wishlist would be smaller... but now it's getting bigger again XP Luckily with only 1 title (while there will be 3 removed - 1 book was send to me as a surprise gift, Hurray! Hurray!)

...OMG, Ron Brandsteder in his early years... that's like... WOW XD

Okay, that was random. Ehm... today I've been rushing from one place to the other, so I have like 30 more minutes to do my online stuff before I have to update my website...

And still my webcomic to do! These weeks are so crowded!

Dimension jumping!

2009-12-01T08:58:00.002Z

I dreamt about dimensions and space travels. It was cool. I was stuck on a space station and was forbidden to smuggle cd-roms and ink-for-printers (eh, wah?!) along. All I was allowed to take along was pencil and paper. However, the captain of the crew wanted to take it along anyway and I decided to play decoy. People expected me to take it along anyway, so let's play into that expectation to create a decoy!
... and the decoy worked so well even I managed to get the stuff along XD. Screaming seemed to help XD So we both had the 'forbidden equipment' along.

And in one dimension I helped to reunite a knight and a mermaid. That was adorable.

Well, I want to draw again :) I first have to finish Grasshopper's reference before I can start on a big drawing. I have 2 types of drawings in my mind; one with the FYE1-female cast and one with all the chieftesses (and 1 chief XD).

And maybe I'll be confident to draw the FYE1-male cast soon as well. The girls will have the theme 'The East' (kimono-like drawings) and the boys will then have 'The West', but what will be 'The West'?

Tips are welcome!!

Again?

2009-11-30T16:38:00.002Z

Again a dream about getting late for work? In the dream, I know I must hurry up for work, but each time I'm getting close to work, something prevents me from getting in time. Road blocks, taking wrong turns... people who demand help... and each and every time the result is the same: late so much, it's useless to go even in... It always makes me feel... I dunno. Odd? Is that the word? Maybe it's dissappointment, but in what then? And why? I had this dream more often!

After that dream, I dreamt I went back to elementary school. The teacher was amazed I could write and speak english, and spoke very highly of me. One kid was jealous and tried to sabotage everything, so he or she got send to the principal. Then, the proud teacher, who helped me so much... asked me to write a simple line in Dutch. I asked if I could take a line from a Manga, because it sounded pretty. "As long as it's in Dutch!" - "Oh, I'll write it down in Dutch!"
... but the result was English. It remained English, no matter what I tried. I could no longer write in Dutch...
The teacher looked so disappointed...

And then, I finally reached my work. I was asked why I was so late and I told them because my house exploded... which wasn't true, because it was a vacation home we owned that exploded, which was also crazy. Oh, and a car backed out and ended up in our front garden, ruining all... while there isn't even a road attached to our front yard XD

So, delays, dissappointments, lies and destruction. Why did I lie about being late anyway?

But I DID like transportation vehicle I used to get to work XP It was a bike and an automatic machine that went faster and faster with a twist of a handle XP Awesome thing.

yawn

2009-11-29T14:22:00.003Z

Went to bed late yesterday, but not as late as I expected. I had a birthday to attend and wow, the apetisers I made... They were on the table one minute, and gone the other! Wow, they certainly are popular XD The other apetisers would probably have been more popular if some people would have been in the room XP

Well, will be visiting grandmother today again. At least, I assume I will visit her today. Why would I not?

Still, this blogposting will be short. Will be working on my booklet and hopefully start writing again =D

Change?

2009-11-28T09:50:00.003Z

Wow, I never expected a conversation to escalate. Am I not entitled of my own opinion? I respect the opinions of others... even when they do not respect mine. But from some people, I had expected they would respect mine *shakes head*

It has happened more than once. People who totally go into defence-mode because my opinion differs from them. Doesn't difference of opinion colour the world? And I like a good discussion! It's fun, trying to convince others of my opinion, while they try to convince me!

Sometimes opinions do not change, but is that what matters? It's so awesome to see how other people think!

But alas, that opinion is not shared as well... I am expected to stay silent...

...And that is one thing I will not do. I have a voice and I belief in what I say. If you cannot share my opinion, that if fine, but do not expect me to change it just to please you.

I am not a hypocrit. That's one thing I do not want to be and one thing I shall not be.

And I'm darn proud of that as well!

HalleFLIPPINluja!

2009-11-27T14:18:00.002Z

It works! It works! Tape 2 is converted! Only 37 left to do! *dances around* And thank you, dear you-know-who, for convincing me to try it again! I am HAPPY!

Also, because I'm not really in the mood for a long post, some facts:

I dislike it a LOT that R. said my grandma is dying ¬¬. Only because she is over 80?! "But being so old is a nice age!" Yes, AND?! I had never expected her to say that. So what that my grandma is in the hospital, it's not a life threatening disease! It's only so she can get what more minerals.
I dislike Da. a lot as well at the moment, because I wasn't allowed to say I wouldn't join a group activity because I thought the 'fake money input' was too high. Opinion, people?
I bought some stuff for my brother in law's b-day. I seem to be famous with my simple recepie (sp?). Mon Chou, Hamm and ... 'Bieslook'

My brain seems to be down XP. I dunno why, but I feel like I have waaaay too much left to do!

It isn't over yet!

2009-11-26T10:05:00.002Z

I mailed the Webcompany I ordered the Cassette Converter from, to ask what I did wrong with placing my order. Because they were so kind, they changed the delivery date from tuesday to today!!... But I still don't know what I did wrong XD But thanks anyway, Dixons :)

Other than that... new artzies!!

Cassette Continues!

2009-11-25T13:55:00.003Z

Well, yesterday I returned the Cassette Converter, and got a full refund. That evening, I was thanked a lot by someone for the directions; he loved his tape converter!! I was like:

"...."

(BTW, no worries, I wasn't upset, I was just... '....' XD)

Anyway, I decided to try one again and ordered one online. 'Order before 22:00 pm, get it the next day!'. Since it was 21:45, I decided to go for it.

Order placed, confirmation received and... 'We hope to deliver it on the 1st of december 2009.'

And I was like:

"...."

You gotta admit, it's becoming pretty ironic. Honestly, I don't really care if it comes today or next week. The only pro of next week is that I am now forced to LET GO OF THE DRAMA and do some fun stuff :) After all, it won't come until tuesday!
However, I did mail with the question what the heck I did wrong ^_^. Just so I know what I did wrong.

Well, today my grandma had to go to the hospital, to get some fluids (infusion according to the google translator... yeah right! More a TRANSfusion) because she seems to be pretty low on calcium, magnesium and natrium (salt).

Now she suddenly has to stay, because they can't admit the fluids in one time... at least not in the amount she needs! I'm partly worried, but also glad. My grandma has been fainting a lot lately and she doesn't feel well... but the docters never gave it that much thought! She only has medicine, medicine and even more medicine pushed inside her.

Hopefully this treatment will make her feel better AND will they finally find out what the heck is wrong with her!!

(physcially wrong that is, because mentally my grandma is still totally 30.... only with a 'I don't understand all that progress' mentality)

The end of the tape converter

2009-11-24T09:51:00.002Z

The tape converter ruined my test tape. So, I only did the logical action: I returned it. They were a bit hesitant at first, so I showed the ruined tape. So, I got my money back.

I am willing to try it again, one day, but not now. Not after so much misfortune. Maybe the time isn't right for it yet. Maybe in a year or 2, they will have tape converters that do NOT kill tapes.

Oh, and if any of my readers get a WORKING tape converter, please tell me the brand and where you bought it.

Other than that, slept very deep. That's about it. Day is already ruined due to rushing towards the store again (because it's not in my town). Luckily I'm totally apathic on thursdays and tuesdays...

Oh, and I got a second sponsor for my exposition in April. O.o I'm like: WOW about that

Cassette Continues?

2009-11-23T18:11:00.002Z

Well, the first tape has been converted into 2 mp3. One from the A side, one from the B side. I could split it up in several MP3, but you know... you have like 2 seconds before the new story starts. It's so detailed work... I don't think it's worth it.

One cassette done, at least 38 to go. (from 1 series, that is)

I do wonder if one cassette will fit on 1 cd. I mean, most music cd's can contain 80 minutes of music... the cassettes hold about 80-90 as well! I mean... what the...?! What's the big upgrade from cassette to cd then?! (asides the fact cd's are less fragile, hold better quality, last longer...)

Oh well, we'll see :). At least I will make an mp3 DVD, to store them all. That's already half the quest =D

Oh, and it's raining today. And yesterday. Lots of rain. The water is already really high; I hope we won't get such floods like in the United Kingdom! That's crazy water!

Happy End?

2009-11-22T18:33:00.003Z

Well, today was one of the worst days... with possibly a little happily ever after...

In my youth, I used to have cassette tapes with fairytales; Lekturama's Luister Sprookjes (the red tapes and books) and I really enjoyed them. However, Cassette Players are getting rare nowadays, so I wanted to convert them to MP3.

The first cassette deck we had broke down within 3 second. Very crappy, but we had plenty left.
The second cassette deck gave bad quality, but at least it worked.
The third cassette deck gave great sound... but was suddenly broken down this morning.
The second cassette deck suddenly gave even worse quality.

So, feeling totally craptastic, I decided to buy a 'cassette to mp 3'-set. Since the stores were open this sunday because of St. Nicolas, mom and I decided to go.

The first store said they never had them, while their site said they had.
The second store did have one, but refused to sell it to me since it was the last one they had left. The Floor model. They could order one for me though... But still, this set had to remain in the store so the people knew what they sold... while they had none in stock!
The third store... I already wanted to give up, but the man suggested calling a linked store for me. And they had one left! (I should have been nicer to that man, but being refused to buy something had totally pissed me off. I hope he can forgive me...)
So, we hurried to the fourth store and yes... there it was! Even kept behind the counter especially for me! I still wasn't miss Peachy still (and I'm still a bit ill-ish). Btw, this set was 1/3rd of the price of the big set I was refused to buy.

I get home, install the software, hook things up... and it doesn't work. Odd. I open the set, turn the cassette around... still nothing happens. I open the set... and the tape is wound around the spools!
Totally in panic, I quickly put it on the table and left the room.

Later that evening, mom looked at the set and phew, she could easily unwind the spools and the tape and the set were saved. And thank goodness, now it works! I can FINALLY turn my storybooks fairytales into mp3! It will take a while, 39 x 90 minutes and then splitting it all... and then my Alfred J. Kwak tapes... And my 2 Sesame Street tapes, but at least my niece can enjoy the same stories her mom and I enjoyed...

Mm, maybe I can also MP3 the Toddler Tapes we had... I wonder where those 2 are...

I did it!!!

2009-11-21T10:36:00.001Z

Okay, hitting send before having types anything, that's pretty stupid....

Anyway, I'm still not that healthy, but I'm feeling better... and guess what... yesterday I went to bed at 21:30/9:30 pm! That's like... freaking early! I could have used more though...

Anyway, the promised Book Festival Report.

For years I've been going to the book festival and each time I come home with less (which dad loves, btw XP). This year I even only found 1 comic and 1 manga! Maybe I would have found more if I actually checked all the tables... but since I was sick-ish, my mom was sick-ish and my baby niece had went along, we made it short.

I found two how to draw books I'd never pay full price for: Christopher Hart's Mecha and Cars. I don't have much with Mecha and Cars, but I may need it in the future and if you get it for 3,95 and 2,95 instead of 19,95... then yeah, that's a bargain :)

I found 1 Cinemanga from Avatar, 1 Suske & Wiske Pocket and 1 Manga: We Shadows. I met the author recently and he told me the only place I might find it, would be eBay... and I find it on the Book Festival! That's like.... finding a needle in a haystack! And I didn't even have to look! I'm so happy!!

Still, if I hadn't met him, I would have never bought it... or probably looked for it XD I only heard about it 2 days ago!

My mom didn't want to go into the crafts section, but I wanted to and we got a few crafts things I can give away as gifts. Then mom was tired of it and didn't want to check the last table... where I found a baby puzzle, an Alfred J Kwak Game and a Smurfs game!

So, I hurried to my mom and said: "Hug first!" and then I showed her the smurfs game (Mom is a smurfs freak. If you have leftover smurfs... this way please!)

The baby puzzle I bought was for ages 1 and up, but my niece is 6 months. Still, when we showed it to her, she immediately started trying to slide the pieces! Sure, she couldn't really slide it yet, but hey, it's a start! And that for only 6 months! She immediately knew what she had to do! (or she is very good in pretending to know what to do XP)

And then I went home, ate, to bed... stuff like that. I'm having weird dreams lately. Like going on a vacation... and then getting a temp job there! Delivering mail! Hello; VACATION!!!

And there were shoes involved. Lots of shoes. I recognised one pair of shoes I used to have....

And woooow..... getting dizzy all of a sudden O.o Let's take things easy today!

Illness.....

2009-11-20T15:14:00.003Z

My rant yesterday may have been caused by me falling ill. I'm not ill-ill... just very tired, not feeling good... nothing a good sleep can't fix. Hence the shortness. But anyway, I went to the book festival today... I will give a list of what I found tomorrow. But highlights:

Alfred J. Kwak Board Game. Didn't even knew it excisted XD
We Shadows Volume 1. Why that is special, I will tell tomorrow...

And now I'm off, doing my weekly webcomic....

And hopefully, getting to bed early (I know, it's in my hands... XP)

cough, cough

2009-11-19T08:56:00.002Z

Has anyone seen my voice? I seem to have misplaced it...

Anyway, yesterday I slaved away all day to make my website Wii-compatible... or at least, give it a Wii-compatible entrance (http://dive.to/kitt). Sure, it's not handy for reading the stories, but now you can watch my art easily through the Wii; Yayness!!

I just wished my friends were just as happy or at least a fragment supportive ¬¬. Is it me, or are all my friends so caught up in their own worlds that they forget there are people out there who can be happy about something they worked all day on?

I'm not saying they should start a parade whenever I make something... but it would be nice if they would at least send some sort reply. ANY reply. Even a 'Man what a waste of time' would be welcome since I GET HARDLY ANY REPLIES WHATSOEVER!

I know people are busy with work, school, life... but is it so bad to ask SOME form of attention?

Or is my e-mailprovider not accepting their e-mails? Filtering and blocking them out? Because that is possible... but then... I still have that other e-mail adress and a thing that's called a PHONE.

And why do I even bother posting it here? More than once it feels like I keep on giving and giving and giving... and I get none in return. They expect me to be supportive of them, but when I ask support in return... I honestly get nothing.

Maybe I should become selfish. Stop doing things for others. I already stopped doing things for 1 girl. I don't care her favourite series came out on Dutch DVD. If she doesn't bother mailing me back when I ask her questions, send her text messages, why should I bother? I'm sick and tired of being the happy supportive friend for people who give nothing back whatsoever.

So if people stop supporting me... I will stop supporting them. It's not me who ends the friendship then. I would never end a friendship. But I'm not going to keep on giving either.

Letter to a friend

2009-11-18T11:54:00.004Z

Dear X,

I miss you so much. I love how you make me smile, but I haven't seen you much lately. I know why and it's a perfectly good reason. It's important and about your future. It would not be fair to demand your attention...

But the fact I'm leaving you alone, as requested, does not make me miss you less. I know I am helping you, by not sending you e-mails, so you won't get distracted. But... it's so silent.

It's only like a month more and I will hang on... but I so miss our funny conversations, our little mindgames on MSN... and you're little slip-ups ^_^. Those slip-ups were so funny... I can't wait till you're done.

Hang in there. I know you can do it. And I can do it as well... because I know you will be waiting for me, as I am waiting for you.

Go for it. The finish line is near.... and neither will slip. I'll be waiting for you, on the other side. Handing you the flowers, the thropy, the glory....

... unless I totally forget about it. Because that's me as well... I have the brain alike a Swiss Cheese ^_^'

Missing you,
your dear friend for almost 10 years now,

Kitty Ocean

Partyz!

2009-11-17T08:57:00.002Z

I dreamt about a themeparc which was a mix between DisneyLand and Efteling ^_^ I had a lot of fun with friends there, even though we lost two halfway... but we found them back!
I also dreamt I was being followed by the maffia, but that might have to do with seeing Batman Begins yesterday.

I must admit, the movie was pretty good. Way better than the previous ones. A lot more realistic. Though, I missed about 10 minutes because of a power blackout...

Somehow I already had a feeling a power blackout would happen soon, so I bought 2 flashlights that don't need batteries. So, we could use them yesterday while looking for candles.... and when we found the candles, the power went back on XP

Ah, the irony...

Gaaaah, I'm hungry

2009-11-16T15:07:00.003Z

I should eat something XP Ever since Fall started, I'm way more hungry. I now eat twice as much!!!... though I have to admit, I was eating insanely little in the summer XD No, seriously! I think I'm now heading towards a NORMAL decent amount of food.

Other than that... Nopes, nothing. Truely nothing. Except the same old poem once again...

I am alone,
alone in a room filled with friends.
Can't you hear me scream,
over the dreaded silence?

I have to admit, it's getting longer and longer XP I mean, I first only had the first 2 lines... and now I have 2 more!

How could I forget him??!

2009-11-14T12:14:00.003Z

If I hadn't seen that kid while walking the dogs, I completely would have missed St. Nicolas' arrival in the Netherlands! Whenever I see it, I just get filled with happiness... all those happy childeren! And it's awesome how the older kids can 'play' along better and better each year.

I do like the Sign Language Piet btw ^_^ Totally in style and giving small comments whenever nothing is spoken. Awesomeness....

And Hoofd Piet pretends to be St Nicolas XD So funny! He actually pulls it off nicely, btw. And this has a double meaning ^_~ You never know who might be reading this.

Can't wait till my niece is old enough to understand what is going on... I'd so love pulling her around =D

Well...

2009-11-13T17:08:00.003Z

So, Winx Club finally is worth my notion... and then they ruin it again with the last episode. It's so un-winx-like! Complete disappointment. *sighs* I mean, killing off a bad guy is one thing, killing off an important character is another! Making a series more mature is also one thing... but this completely traumatised the peer group! Seriously, you should read the reviews, kids and teens cried (one compared this character's death with Michael Jackson's death O.o). A lot. Really a lot. Sure, that's also a compliment, if you can make people cry, but again: un-winx-like. Winx is (mostly) about happy flowers and kitties.

Talking about Winx Club... once again I got the comment my art style looks too much like Winx Club. I've been drawing from 1999, the Winx Club's oldest sketches (online) date from 2000. Elfquest is my main influence, not those fairies!
Also, I once heard that my drawing of the character Kitty Ocean was 'the worst Bloom' that person ever saw. And I was like... WHAAT?! They don't look alike AT ALL!

And people still don't see why I hate Winx Club. It's not because of the series, it's not about the art, not about the characters.... It's about the FANS! The fans, who keep on telling me I STOLE my art style from a series that got on TV years AFTER I established my art style.

The only Winx Club fan who I do like, is a kid who can see the difference. And guess what, she's an artist herself.

So, Winx Club fans, you have your work cut out for you! Can you all help me love a series that has been ruined by people who can't see the difference between a pear and a boat?

Also, Winx Club Artists... the correct phrase on the sign should be 'Open' and not 'Opened'. XP

I've said it once before

2009-11-12T08:48:00.002Z

And I'm saying it once again... I think it's utterly impolite to NOT answer on an e-mail. If I send you an e-mail, I expect an answer (unless it's obvious I'm not expecting anything). Maybe not within a day... but at least within a week! And especially if the mails concerns things I did for you, like redirecting you to someone...

It's quite simple: if you don't tell me about how things went while I arranged that for you... you can expect the road of friendship to get blocked... Friendship is a two way track and if I am the only one who does things to keep the friendship going.... I'll be doing less and less for you.

I'd rather spend my time on people who DO appreciate what I do for them. And if you do appreciate it.... TELL ME! Give me feedback. That is polite!!

And if I have to read on a(n online) newspaper you lost a competition you had invited me to (but I couldn't come because of work...).... then don't expect me to tell you I know. You should tell me. I am supportive... the least you can do is let me know the result.

It doesn't take more than 2 minutes.

Holy Wowzers!

2009-11-11T15:26:00.004Z

Today I found back a password from an account I made back in... brace yourself, 2004!! It's a referall site/address and the owners contacted me: "Hey, you are redirecting to Geocities but Geocities is deeeeeaaaad."

But now, it works again!

http://dive.to/Kitt

Hurray!! Other than that... Well, I worked, bought a book, almost was asked to pay 8 euro's too much... but yeah, I checked the price beforehand XP If it was 27,50 in the morning, it should be 27,50 in the afternoon!

After that we went to Hornback, to get a few pictures framed. We'll be coming back there a lot more often... Hehehe *wicked grin* Manga Expo, here I come!!

Social networking

2009-11-10T08:31:00.002Z

Yesterday I went to a presentation about Social Networking... and well... let's just say that I had expected a lot more. While that woman had her specialty, I actually knew about 75% she told already plus I know a lot more on SOCIAL networking. She looks at it from a business side, I look at it from a social side... which is the most important think about Social Networking.

For example, Netiquette (which that woman called Net-etiquette; that term is soooo 2001). I know quite a bit on playing the digital fields. I know how I can convince a mass to jump and troll an innocent being. I know how I can turn a Flamer against himself. I know how and when to break off an argument, managing to make the other feel bad and people thinking he's a ****. And technically, I also know how to ruin a person's sanity by effectively trolling and flaming.

But the fact I know how to manipulate the digital social world, doesn't mean I do it. Actually, most of it was done to me, though I never was a flamer (I was a troll in my early, early, EARLY online days. 16 and helping out a friend... I learned my lesson and am not proud of those days).

Like the guy who started an argument that St Nicolas was a festival for racists. He tried to lure me back into talking to him by apologising, but I didn't even respond to that.

Like the girl who stole my character, nicknames and all, and when I confronted her, she send all her friends at me, who told me I stole every design in my gallery. If you know where to look, the comments are still there. If I'd hide them, I'd show my fear and defeat. You want to accuse me? Go ahead! I will keep your insults, reply to them with kindness and truth... and your false accusations will be online till the day DA crashes forever.

And the ruining sanity part: not done to me, but to a person I know. Plus I made a huge report about Internet Bullying. The reply: 'It's not that bad and it won't be that bad either'. Sure teacher, you might want to open your eyes and go online for a change. The online world is not filled with peaches and roses. It's filled with flamers, trolls and n00bs... but luckily, there's also friendship.

And that friendship can go a loooooong way.... In the real life people can have about 400 offline contacts? Well, if I'd count my online contacts... I probably know about 600 people; in the past till now. How many of them are business-possibilities?

Business is something from the real world. If a business goes on a social network, they have to know the rules to play the game effectively. At this moment, it's mostly 'Let's add as much people I know or who want to know me in the hopes they will one day come to me and ask me to do an assignment for them'. But gathering people means nothing if you don't know the rules; don't know the game. It's like gathering business cards at the moment. You keep them in a folder and you end up with 17 painters, 16 bank people and 10 chefs... and then you still take the one you met offline and know offline.

I'm sorry, but social networking is not ready for the business world. In my perspective anyway... because the business people don't know the laws of social internet. Only if you know how to play the game, you can be part of it.

And that's the biggest point the woman from last night's presentation missed. That's why the generation after me will be able to use social networking for business effectively. Not the generation now.

20% of them doesn't even know how to answer an e-mail properly.... ¬¬

Wow... never thought this would happen...

2009-11-09T16:05:00.002Z

I just watched the latest Winx Club episode in Italian and wow... the ending. So unexpected. I'm still rooting for the happy end though, Winx Club and NOT a happy end?! Is that even possible? Season 4 is the darkest season I've seen... only now Winx Club is worth mentioning in my eyes. If the previous 3 would have been this well plotted, well thought through... Season 1 till 3 mostly were like "Ooh, I'm a fairy, look at me!" with stupid villans, but after Tecna's sacrifice, the story finally got deeper and better. And the villans are more evil as well.

What more... last night I dreamt I had to go to school by train, but there had been some sort of malfunction so there was no train for a long time. Eventually they came, but they were all too crowded so I couldn't get on. Eventually I realised that I didn't even have a scedule yet, so I had no idea what classes I would be having and where and then...
I suddenly remembered I had a dream like that before. Having no scedule, being late, and having no idea which classes I had to take. So in my dream, I recalled an other dream!

And then I went to some sort of aqua parc, which was fun. Water is always fun.

But that was it. And it's cold here XP Brrr!

Yesterday...

2009-11-08T12:00:00.003Z

All my troubles seemed so faaaaaar away....

Okay, that was about it. Yesterday, I swam along with the Super Prestige Group again; I do so every now and then... but more then than now. XP Because of that, I'm often the slowest... and they always tease me about it XP. Still, they are also surprised that I can keep up quite often.

Asides that... when I came home I spend some time online, but can't recall what I did XD Oh yeah, updated my webshop! And after re-uploading it, I changed some things for the next update... added images, seperated Books and Comics... sure, you won't see that till next month, but hey, it helps the site looking better!

I also went to a special day for new companies in Utrecht. It was okay; a lot of information about finances... but since I just started out, my cash flow is not that big yet, so we can do it all ourselves. XP

And then... GASP! I DREW!... or actually, I coloured XD My Kai reference is halfway now. I first made a colour chart, so I FINALLY can remember which colour is which... And I found out that Neopiko and Copic have little similaritiets XD And probably half the colours I need are in the set I ordered about 3 months ago XP. The Yellow Ochre from Copic is a lot more yellow than from Neopiko... and the Neopiko one is perfect for Kimu! But I'll just have to manage...

Oh, and there's difference between Neopiko Technical and Neopiko Marker as well.. I have the grey markers and the same numbers in the Technical set have a slightly different shade.

So I have enough shades of grey for the rest of my life.

Disappointed...

2009-11-07T11:54:00.002Z

Well, that whole Wasp-deal turned out to be one big... well, disappointment. I mean, not that I wanted to have drama but... it wasn't even red or swollen!! Sure, in the morning it was still a bit painful, but now it only itches like crazy. It's like I was stung by a mosquito!

But still, I'm lucky I'm not allergic to them... Anyway, I'm currently uploading my new webshop -> www.keep-in-mind.nl -> Winkel (or Store if you select the English flag first). Pacificators has been added!

I also FINALLY checked out the result of my Mini Comic Commission. Yeah, I had a mini comic commission XP. I'm quite pleased with the result! Check it out at www.zonja.nl or www.zonja.be . Do note, I only made the comic, not the page or the page flipping stuff. Only the images (and the text was handed in from the company who ordered the comic).

This morning I had swimming classes and well... the kids were less concentrated than last week XD Maybe it's because St. Nicolas will come next week? Afterwards, I swam along with the Super Prestige Group and darn it... I will get you Wednesday, J., for calling me slow! (Well, compared to that group, I am, because they swim weekly and I swim... whenever I want XD)
I did like his comment to T., though: "I think it might be a wise deciscion to skip the coming 2 swimming classes on Wednesday..."
I will get you back, J., I will get you back!! >=D

Allergies...

2009-11-06T06:55:00.003Z

My dad is allergic to wasps. He found that out this year, when he was trying to get rid of a wasps' nest (which failed, btw). We've been having wasps's nests for years now. Anyway, it's not fatal, but he is allergic.

When I was still sleeping in my old room, I've had wasps visiting me for 2 years as well. You can imagine how this resulted in Kitty sleeping on the attic.

Now, I sleep on the attic. It's quite the big place.

It turns out there was 1 wasp on the entire attic.

How do I know that?

Well, I SAT DOWN right on top of it! *growls* It soooo hurt! Luckily, the needle wasn't stuck in there (that would have been even more embarrassing!). And also, it turns out I'm not allergic to wasps.

It still hurts now, but it itches a lot more. And of course, I slept on the couch, which means I slept like hell. Luckily I only have 4 hours of work, 1 meeting and 1 Pen-i to do...

But I do feel a stock Pen-i coming up!

Ugh...

2009-11-05T09:04:00.002Z

Yesterday I read in the newspapers that the Mexican/Swine Flu has hit the Netherlands. Most people have it for 2-3 days and then it's over again... Well, guess what Kitty dreamt about last night? One of the 'new' symptoms had 'visited' me sunday, but it's the only symptom I had... until now, because of that dream, I feel like crap XD

I know I slept too little, worrying about my Pen-i comic (I need an approval but didn't get any yet), but I am not sick. At least not flu-ish. I already had a flu last year (I get it about once every 7 years).

... I hope anyway. The dream wasn't much fun, because I had the flu and people kept on coming to me. Fun part of the dream... well, fun because it didn't happen in reality. If it happened in reality, it was not fun at all. Seriously.

Fun part was that a lot of factories exploded in my dreams, as well as buildings that were still being built. In my dream, no one got hurt, but a lot of smoke, things going boom... it was awesome!

But trust me, if it would have been real life, it wouldn't have been awesome at all. So thank goodness for dreams!

Meet Miss Swiss Cheese

2009-11-04T15:29:00.004Z

My brain is being an idiot again XD Each morning I wake up, remember the dream, decide to write about it, get home after work... poof, dream gone! And then, when I lay myself down in my bed again... the dream comes back again! Gaah, idiot I am XD

Writing it down? Huh? My dreams are not interesting enough to get up again XD. Yes, me ish lazy. When it's midnight, I am lazy. So sue me.

What else... work was awesome today. Almost all calls were finished within 2.5 minutes, but a few calls above that totally ruined my score ¬¬. I could also do work for the main office again, but it didn't go that fast... the fact the system went flatline didn't help either XD I could have done seriously nothing, but I dislike just sitting and doing nothing, so I did random chores :)

Oh, and another drawing I made, but which is reserved for a friend's gallery only... Go enjoy!

Neglecting my own sites XD

2009-11-02T20:01:00.003Z

I'm so neglecting The Story Vault, but somehow I have don't think it's much of a loss XD. How many people are actually reading my old-old-old stories?

Well, I haven't been on MSN for almost a week and frankly... I so needed that break. I know people want to talk to me, but seriously, when it was just too much for me at the moment! Besides, there's this thing called 'e-mail'. It may be daring, but you can try it ^_~. You might enjoy it!

I didn't sleep much last night; quite light. Luckily I can sleep a tad longer tomorrow XP. Today I had work, as ever and well... nothing special happened. Seriously, no big drama's... well, maybe one. But hello, we can't smell you're out of the country for 3 months! So, how should we know something went wrong... if you don't tell us?!

When I came home, I hooked up my cintiq and posted my last Okúta page *sighs*. Anyway, I PLANNED to do a Pen-i, but got distracted by watching YouTube XP Drawing the Pen-i took a bit longer than usual, with the GaiaOnline stuff as well... but almost done with the second account! And then only 1 account left!!

I'm now doing the text for the Pen-i, but this is the first time I need to send it to someone else before sending it in XD I'm quite nervous about this one!

Oh, and I watched Hairspray tonight. I want to buy the DVD, but I can't go to the stores till wednesday and I want to see it XD I so love that movie! Totally unexpected! Also, kudos to John Travolta. I didn't know it was him, until I read it XD I knew SOMETHING was odd about Edna...

But yeah, a really feelgood movie *nods* And darn it, I feel good now XD

Halloween?

2009-11-01T12:22:00.002Z

I dreamt about vampires this morning. I was the only one who was still human; every else was bitten and turned. Because of Halloween, you might expect this, but honestly... I haven't seen a vampire for days!! I have seen numerous of clowns, so you'd expect that, but no: Vampires.

Sonic The Hedgehog appeared as well (even more WTF); he was a vampire as well. Running over a dome that protected the last fortress of humanity... and slipping down from it XD

I'm still gathering items at Gaia Online. One account is almost done, one account is barely started XD And 1 is finished. If I have time left, I will FINALLY finish the Kai reference... I hope.

One of our dogs, Frodo, is being sick as well. We don't know why, but she (yes, she) seems to have stomach aches. We gave her an empty box she can hide in and she'd been doing that for hours now. We gave her some medication and she doesn't have a temprature, so we're certain she'll be fine :)

Message was clear?

2009-10-31T18:11:00.002Z

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:
