Frag - how to safe a life |

I'm so tired. I thought I was feeling better but apparently not. I've only been to school for two hours and yet I'm exhausted.  Stupid glandular fever!!!  I don't know what I'm gonna do with the exams in June... I hope it'll go fine. Well doesn't matter actually, cuz I have to do the first year over again anyhow. But it sure would be nice not having to do those 4 subjects again next year.
I've also got a job at the "village shopping center" here in Maasmechelen as a "cleaning lady". I was also supposed to work there in the summer for a month, but I can only go 1 or 2 days instead of 5 days a weak because of my stupid foot. (This really isn't my year  ) My big toe is growing crooked (in lack of a better word), underneath the toe next to it. Because of it I've got a little lump on the side of my foot, plus the toe itself is really annoying!! So I have to have surgery to put the big toe straight and to remove the lump, because the lump may get infected due to the constant friction (?) with the shoe. Not only is it really painful now, but I'm absolutely terrified of the surgery! I hate hospitals and surgeries!! Plus I'm gonna be in a cast for 6 weeks. So long summer vacation  So the pain is why I can only work for 1 or 2 days a week (it's constant walking, my foot is killing me at the end of the day, so 5 days in a row really won't work)
Besides that, I'm pretty fine. I'm home a lot (only have 4 lessons a week because of the glandular fever), the weather is really nice and I've got a boyfriend who I'm completely in love with. The past weeks have been a fairytale. I miss him already  This is us
In two weeks we're going on a little vacation in Benidorm, Spain. This is our hotel:
 
Pretty nice huh 
Hopefully the weather will be good. I heard it's been pretty bad in Spain lately... It'd be a shame not to swim in that lovely pool.

So I've got a vacation job!! Well at least for the next week, I don't know whether I'll have to go back after that. And it certainly pays enough! Too bad that it'll be above 30 degrees C the entire next week... I'm thinking of taking my own airconditioning with me to work.
Also other news, we got ourselves a little swimming pool, but it's still big enough to freshen up a bit.. We've already had quite some fun in it.
Yesterday we went to my aunt in Germany. It was incredibly hot, until suddenly the air got clouded and it started to get very windy. That was just after my sister had pushed me into their swimming pool (at the exact moment when a big spider came floating by!! *grossed out*) Later on that day we had a barbecue, and my aunt kept on baking the meat, even though we had more than enough. Why? Well, she had called my two other aunts' husbands to also come by. Now one of those two aunts and her husband, they're still so completely in love with each other, they can't even miss each other for one day. So that autn was already planning to go home, with the excuse that grandfather couldn't handle the fact that my grandmother would be home so late. But we all knew it was because she missed her husband too much. So when the two husbands arrived, you should've seen her face! It was absolutely priceless... So with everyone present, my aunt decided to stay a bit longer.
Now, when you're with my family, you're in for a few laughs! They drink wine, a lot of wine, and at the end of the evening, at least two of my three aunts are wasted... Last night, it was the hostess who was completely drunk. The other two were also a bit drunk, but definitely nothing like the third. So we sat outside, and my aunt lighted some terrace torches up to have some light. In the meantime we went on laughing, talking and who knows what else, when suddenly my mum jumped up, pointing at the torches. Now because of the heath, everything was as dry as could be, and my aunt had planted the torches in ground with dry plants. So now the plants were burning. But even as drunk as she was, she managed to put out the fire with the water she had standing there.
Then we went home, and the other aunt said something like: we have to be home before the dark. (mind you, it was 2am) And the wasted one burst out in laughter! (which by the way wouldn't end until we were away) What fun we had yesterday!
Not it's freaking hot again... I think I'll take a dive into the swimming pool later on. But first I have to finish my hunting for today on monstergame (an online game which I'm addicted to, I'm afraid. Anyone who wants to be a vampire, click on this link: http://monstersgame.nl/?ac=vid&vid=12006390 )

It's been quite a while since I've last written here... I guess I just was to caught up with school and all the stress I had. Anyhow, it's summer vacation now, and even though I have to redo a couple of exams, I intend to totally enjoy my free time. Finally I have time to write again, and create again (well I wish, if my boyfriend would let me have some time alone)
The weather has been awful here! We're having our second heathwave this year and this one is persistent! So unusual for Belgium :s And instead of buying a swimming pool, we bought a big trampoline. Maybe not the wisest decision...
Besides that I'm happy to say that I'm finally rid of my class! WOOHOO!! Never again I have to see those childish know-it-alls (who all believe they're 18-20, while they're in fact about 5 years old)
Ehm so what else happened? I'm thinking but nothing comes to mind actually. Have I been that dull the last couple of weeks? Hmm, I guess. Well let's hope something interesting will happen soon than.

Besides my soar throat I'm happy. Last week we had to do our big presentation about fairytales in our class as a rehearsel for the real thing next week Tuesday. So the evening before there was a lot of last-minute planning. And because of my infected throat (have no idea what it's called in English) I stayed home the day of the presentation, and went to school in the afternoon to still go through with it. But one of the two other girls kept on forgetting her text, and the other one skipped parts because she was too nervous and to cover up that the third one was forgetting so much. So you can imagine how stressed I was because I knew my lines perfectly and everything, and because of them and all of that we had a bad presentation and the teachers had a bad impression of us... Then afterwards when the teachers asked us about all the things that went wrong, the two other girls blamed everything on me. And if that wasn't enough, they started to gossip about me and the things I supposedly had done wrong. I was furious. Those girls were supposed to be good friends, and then they did that.
So completely frustrated I went home when school was done, and I told the whole story to my mum, who was enraged as well. She called one of those two teachers who judged us the day before and told her the whole story, and how I had done most of the work anyhow (because no kidding, the other two are lazy and both stupid, it's like having dumb and dumber with me!! I don't get how the hell they made it to the 12th grade without doubling!) And the teacher agreed and said that she had noticed in the class how annoyed I was, and that she sort of had guessed that I had done the most. She also asked why I hadn't told her myself and mum said that I'd never do that (she's right) just because I want to avoid problems and so on. The teacher had also noticed that I'm not feeling fine at all in school and in that class of mine. She had noticed that a long time ago, just never said anything about it to me. I know that she worries about me because she may be firm and impossible in some ways, she still tries to help me (she even called me at home some time ago because I was sick and I had to hand in part of the presentation in, if nobody would bring it to school I would get a zero... So she called me to say I had to bring it in that day and she kept on saying that she should'nt even have called and that she's worried)
Anyhow, she and the other teacher had already decided to give us another chance before my mum had called, and she would call my mum back to let her know how it had been.
So on Wednesday she called the three of us to tell us we had another chance (just after I had told the dumb one of the two exactly how I felt about everything, including the fact that she treated me just like the supposedly best friend of dumber, meaning using her when other people aren't around, she did the exact same thing with me and dumber and I got absolutely sick and tired of it... point of the story, she said she never meant to hurt me like that and she hoped our friendship wasn't over. And because there are just three more months of school left I gave in. I wouldn't mind seeing none of them again after graduation) and she said what had to happen in order to improve. I took the responsibility on me (again) and the second time it was a lot better, inspite of that dumber again kept forgetting her text. The powerpoint was much better , the parts were divided better, mainly, the presentation was better, all because of me. (I literally came home at noon, ate, and worked on it until 10pm) and the good thing is that the teacher knows that I did most of the work, she had told my mum so herself. So I'm glad now that all of my work has indeed been worth it.
And if that wasn't enough, today at school the most wonderful thing happened! The biggest bitch of the class (who used to be nice to me because my ex was a collegue of her, then turned back to her old self when we broke up) was humiliated today!! She's always telling on everyone, stabbing everyone in the back, and she thinks she's the most popular girl in our school when in fact everyone just hates her.... So, today this guy in our class laid a ... what's it called? :s You know, those things to pin papers and stuff on the walls... Anyhow, he laid one of those on her chair, but she didn't feel anything. At the end of the lesson when we were getting ready to go home, and stood at the door, the thing was pinned to her butt! Within seconds everyone knew and everyone was simply laughing their asses off, including me!! Finally I think she was told by someone and she left the class with a face as red as a tomato!! Serves her right :)
Now about something else... There's a Sound of Music singalong April, 2nd, here in Antwerp!!!! I'm going with Gwenny, Lili, Millie and perhaps PPP if she decides to come too. Gwenny and I will both be wearing dirndls (she'll let me wear one of her :D ) and the other two, they might go as the baroness. It'll be so much fun!!! I can't wait to go... Only two more weeks :D

Damn I'm tired... I've been tired all week, and I've never been out so much in such a short time either.
It all started last Friday, when I took the train to Liege, to celebrate a friend's - love you Nanny Fran ;) - birthday. PPP and LiLi were there as well, and we had a fabulous time. We exchanged presents (holy crap, LiLi gave me Cinderella, the animated movie, which I had been wanting for so long, and the Cottrell biography!! And she's funny as hell, I loved listening to her lol) Anyhow, then came the wine... And we all saw that Fran was getting a bit drunk, and poor poor LiLi got an idea. She switched her and Fran's glasses, but she had to drink double after that. Especially when Fran saw that her glass was empty and refilled it again (more drinks for LiLi). Needless to say that we had a very merry evening *grin*
Then the next day I got back home, and not much later we went out to dinner, for my mum's belated birthday. But the food wasn't that tasty and I had stomach problems afterwards. Also I was bored as hell in that restaurant, there was absolutely nothing to do, no one to talk to, and I kept staring at the huge wall painting, trying to figure out some mistakes on it (which I indeed found)
On Monday I went to Maastricht with my ex and a few friends of his to celebrate carnival. Well, carnival isn't my favourite holiday (at all), and since no one had told me to dress up, I went in my regular clothes. Then my ex picked me up, and the bomb dropped. "You're not dressed!? How can you not be dressed!? We're going to Maastricht blabalabla" I told him that if he had told me in advance, I would've found me a costume, how the hell should I know? From that moment on, he kept on ignoring me for the rest of the day, unless he was critisizing me or telling me how ridiculous it was. I didn't care though, I had a great time with his friends (the girl of his best friend, and a girlfriend of that friend), also had a few drinks (the mum of his best friend's girl kept on buying us beer, which I don't like, but couldn't refuse because I wanted to be polite) and sure enough, after a while I was in a very merry mood again. If that wasn't enough, several guys tried to pick me up (right in front of my ex, man I was having a great time!) So that was Monday...
Then Tuesday came. I was going to the cinema with my chum Ilse. And another friend of mine was going too with a friend of hers. But since that other girl and I were going to celebrate carnival afterwards in Stokkem, we decided to go to the movies together. We dressed up as gothics, and yes indeed, also went to the cinema as gothics. I saw several people I knew whose eyes and mouths fell open, and somewhow if felt great for me to be a bit "rebellious" compared to my normal, quiet me. My ex also works at the cinema (unfortunately...) Anyhow, at the end of the movie, when we went outside, he called me "Ey dingske" (which is bad, since you call something or someone dingske here when you forgot the name of it) and threw my gloves, which I had forgotten last Monday in his car, right in front of me. God I was pissed! And so was my chum. We went to the exit, but then my chum decided that we could not let him go just like that. So she grabbed my bottle of water, ran back inside the cinema and threw water over him (I just love her) He got scared and walked back into the hall where we saw our movie. That's the last I've heard of him, and he still has got some dvd's of me... He said I had to go and get them, but I don't have the means to get there, he does, he's got a car. So he better bring them soon, he wouldn't want to annoy me.
After the movie Els and I went to Sokkem, but it was pretty boring and nothing compared to the previous day. I was so bored that I started flirting with this friend of Els' boyfriend, and I was glad to get home. Unfortunately, the friend thought more was going on, and kept on bugging me.
And then there's yesterday. We went to this dancing or whatever you call it, from 11pm until 4am (my feet were absolutely killing me) I was there with my chum and another girl that I knew from a few years back, and they found some more friends there. And my chum and one of the other guys tried to set me up with his friend, but the more I got to know him, the more he aggravated me. He kept on touching me, tried to kiss me, and I pulled back, completely ignoring him. There was however a really cute guy who kept checking me out (I know so, because I suspected him looking my way, so I stepped aside out of his view, and a few seconds later he also stepped aside so he could see me again) But he left pretty early :( Too bad...
At 5am we finally arrived at Ilse's place, and half an hour later we were lying in our nice and comfy beds *sigh*. We talked a bit longer, and then fell asleep, to wake up at 12pm. So no wonder that I'm tired now...

Cast Away - end credits |
] |
You know those times when you're so bored, that you start to think about things... Now I don't like it when I start to think about things, probably because it mostly ends up with me feeling depressed. I always discover certain facts that are pretty negative, like for example what some people said (even if they meant it to be good) At the moment I can't see the wrong side of it, but afterwards when I have one of my moments, I sort of discover the rather painful facts behind it...
Like just know, someone told me something in confidence, said they could talk to me about anything, when a while ago I found out they I wasn't even considered as one of that person's favourite people. So I thought to myself, why are you even telling me this, when you can go and talk to one of your favourite people about it? I guess it's just me though, seeing ghosts. My problem is that I think too much, and because of it, I see ok-situations turn into bad ones. I guess that's probably why I'm more likely to feel down ago about the stupidest things...
Anyhow, I'm lost.

The holidays are almost over again *sigh* Just a few months, and if I do my best, High school will be over... (So I know I'll do my best!! Especially if I want to get rid of my terrible school, couldn't bear to stay there one extra year)
Today I saw my chum again *big smile* I was on my way to post two letters (at the post office instead of the box at the end of our street, because the one at the post office will be emptied for the last time at 5pm, while the one at the end of our street will be emptied at noon every work day, and I needed to have those posted right away) and suddenly I saw Ilse standing there, waiting at the bakery. We saw each other and thereby flashed each other with our gigantic smiles. That's the third time this week that I see her, whereas before the holidays, I hadn't seen her in months! The first time was at New Year's eve (well night actually, she joined us at 3:30am) we watched some Julie-things and then at 6:30 we finally went to sleep.
Then the second time was last Tuesday, when we went to the cinema together. We wanted to see Just like heaven... Then after we had bought the tickets for hall 8, where it was supposed to be playing, we found out that it wasn't playing, and that the Dutch version of The chronicles of Narnia played there... Ilse had already seen it, and we didn't really feel like like seeing it in Dutch, so we went to another hall where In her shoes played. But unfortunately that hall was absolutely full, and we went to yet naother hall, where they played Manderlay. A movie that wasn't advertised for, and nobody knew what it was about. We only saw about the first 15 minutes, then we got so bored (terribly shooted, and the acting wasn't the greatest either, no real story either, and there practically wasn't any scenery) that we went back to our original hall to watch Narnia in Dutch... Anything was better than Manderlay! And I must say, I quite enjoyed watching Narnia, probably because I hadn't seen the original version yet. The cute thing was that the little kids in the hall surrounding us, were speaking in our dialect throughout the movie (most teenagers can't speak it anymore because of school) and it was just the cutest thing to hear! Anyhow, in the meantime Ilse and I had been telling each other what we had done the last couple of months and I had forgotten how much fun I always had with her. I swear, we have the exact same thoughts.. I don't think I've ever felt more at ease with anyone else
And then I saw her earlier today, and if it hadn't been for her mum picking her up, we would've been standing there for hours, just talking... It's funny to see how we've evolved in those 6 years we've known each other, and I hope it won't end with these 6 years

It's hard to believe but "the most cheeriest time of the year" is over again and never have I been more exhausted (well if you had like only 10 hours of sleep in 3 days, you can imagine why)
Though I'm not feeling as well as I should be, and I have no idea why... I guess probably because the same old cliches came haunting me, especially me being single (which is the favourite subject of the family)
I hate it when they say that I'm going to become a nun like Julie Andrews, because first of all Julie is anything but a nun! And second of all, the people who really know me, know that I never could even come close to a nun, and they know why...
I guess it's also hard for me because I seem to be missing out on all the good stuff by attending other things, and it makes me feel very insecure since that seems to be happening a lot to me lately, and I guess lonely too
I don't know, I guess it's just the weariness talking now... So I'm going to get ready for tomorrow and crawl into my nice and comfy bed and have a good night sleep and let's just hope I'll feel differently in the morning
A merry belated Christmas to everyone, I hope you had fun this year

So this is love - Cinderella |
] |
Oohh I'm so totally in love with Cinderella, Disney's version! I can't believe I don't have that one at home, thank god a friend has lent it to me for a week! I love how charming Cinderella is, and what a beautiful voice she has in English, I much prefer that one over the Dutch voice. Oh how I wish I could afford to buy the dvd... I guess I have to wait just a little while longer for that, when I've finally recovered from the Christmas-shopping lol
So I confess, I'm a little Disney-freak! I love those movies, they're always clever, nice to watch and oh so lovely, especially the fairy tales like Cinderella, Beauty and the beast, The little mermaid
Only three more days of exams to go, and then two and a half weeks of holidays! *sigh* I already can't wait.. I'm needing a holiday, desperately! And I'm needing more time too to finally complete True Love... At Christmas it'll be a year since I last posted a chapter online, but I decided last year to finish it first before posting another chapter online to lessen the pressure, and while I was finishing it, I decided the story was crappy, and I began to rewrite it as well, with a result that I'm still working on it and it isn't going to be finished yet for a while *humpf*
Anyways, I think I'll be going to bed now, I'm exhausted... No wonder if you've been getting up at 5am the last few mornings to study a bit more... I really do hate exams
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight *curtsey*

What child is this |

I don't really know what to say, it all happened so fast and I was just overwhelmed with seeing her, and even talking to her (!!!!!!!) that I don't even know half of it anymore
Saturday morning at 4:30 I got up and got ready for the long trip, and it was snowing like crazy here!! PPP and I were so scared that the trains wouldn't be going or something like that, but luckily they did and at about 7:30 I arrived in Brussels, where we spent like half an hour trying to find each other! We finally did and took the Eurostar to London
On Saturday we explored the town and Harrods a bit, and let me tell you that my feet were absolutely killing me! And when we went back from Harrods to our hotel, we saw a white limo going into the direction of the Dorchester!! We couldn't see who was in it, but we think it might've been Julie because perhaps the hotel or whoever would've sent a limo to pick her up from the aiport
On Sunday we got on with exploring the town and again I was dead-beat when we retired for the day! Then on Monday we met Jenschk and Victoria at Harrods around 2 o'clock and we stayed together until we had to get ourselves ready for the BAFTA event. We decided to meet each other at 6 o'clock in front of the BAFTA building, but PPP and I got there pretty early... and as we were waiting, guess who we saw there! That's right, liljulie!! We thought we had seen each other before, but weren't too sure and decided not to ask in case we were wrong. So when Jenschk had arrived we knew for sure that we were all forum-people, quite funny actually. Then Victoria arrived and we went inside, and for a minute I thought I was going to get a heart attack because suddenly a car stopped in front of the building with darkened windows and we saw Steve and the rest get out, but no Julie yet. So we went up, and I know that I really started shaking, I thought I was going to break my champagne glass! But after a while Julie still wasn't in, and in the meantime a Belgian reporter came up to me and asked us if we knew who the Belgian people were, so PPP and I answered that it were in fact us, and the next minute he started talking to us. He first asked if we were other reporters, but we said that we were just there for Julie, he didn't really seem to get the concept though because we had to say a few times that we were just fans who had travelled to London to see Julie. Then we were talking about regular stuff and suddenly Julie came in, I remember that I saw her and completely forgot about the world around me, and just walked (practically run) into her direction to take pictures without even thinking of the reporter who was talking to me. So I tried to get some pics but they weren't any good and then I just watched Julie being photographed, interviewed and filmed and she looked simply GORGEOUS!!! Really stunning!! Then she went back out of the room and we could go inside in the hall where it was all going to happen. I was still shaking and I just couldn't believe that I had seen her like minutes ago! We had great seats, even though I was sitting on the very edge, but the rows in front of us were all reserved so we were really not too far. The cameracrew was getting ready and all that jazz, and a bit later the host came in (his name slipped me, sorry) and he was wearing a tie with glittering on it, that moment is a bit hazy to me, but I think he introduced himself to the audience and seconds later Julie came in in her all-glittering suit!! I mean wherever you looked you saw her sparkling suit and it really distracted me quite a bit lol. Then she sat down and looked at the host, and then turned to the audience, pointed at the sparkling tie of the host and said something along the lines as "and we hadn't even planned it" Everyone was laughing! I can't remember much of the interview, just how gorgeous she was, I think mainly because I knew it was going to be on tv.
And at one point they were talking about something, I can't remember about what even if my life depended on it but she turned to the audience and waved and said: "Hello BAFTA-people"!! I'm a BAFTA-person LOL
now the Cameron Diaz misquote!!
She never said that about Cameron Diaz being the next Maria Von Trapp, she was asked who would be good for the role of Maria should the Sound of Music be remade, and she said Anne Hathaway would be good. Then she was asked who would be an option of playing herself in a film about her life should it ever be made, and she said "A young Cameron Mackintosh", the next minute everyone was laughing, she realized her mistake and started laughing herself and then corrected herself, saying Cameron Diaz would be good (can't really see that happen though ) The entire evening was just fabulous!!
The next day the five of us met again, and in the afternoon after we went to see the Dorchester, we were walking somewhere and suddenly PPP reconized the Belgian reporter, who had said the day before that he was going to interview Julie on Tuesday. So as nutty as we are, we followed him and indeed we saw him get in at the Dorchester, so we knew for sure she was staying there. After that I wasn't feeling too well and I stayed at our hotel for the rest of the evening while the others had gone online
The next day we got up, Jenschk picked us up and then the tree of us went to pick up Victoria and liljulie and we hurried to get to Harrods. We got there like a quarter past 10 and already there was a little queu. So we sat down and waited. In the meantime Leonie, Jude and an American girl whose name I don't know joined us and with our big group we waited until Julie came in. But the annoying thing was that at 2:30 we were told to stand, so we had to stand for 2 hours and my back was really sore. But finally the moment came and pretty quickly we got closer and closer to Julie. I went first from our group, I had my book already open and the DVD cover of TSOM in it, and I had my drawing in my hand, and I was getting more anxious every second! Then the moment was there, I had to wait at the door while the man before got his items signed and I could see Julie sitting there, talking to him, and I just couldn't believe I would the be the next!! As on Monday, she looked absolutely stunning (I only had eye for her face, I couldn't even remember what she was wearing afterwards!!) But the thing was that I was truly shaking when having to wait at the door, then I slowly walked towards her and my nervousness had gone! The conversation went something like this:
me: Can I give you something
Julie (already signing the book, so still looking down) Well of course you can (with the cutest smile ever)
(I laid the drawing on the table in front of her, and she looked up at the drawing)
Julie: (after a moment) Oh that's beautiful!! Oh I'm going to put it somewhere where I can see it (she looked up at me) Did you make that?
me: Yes I did
Julie: Really? (she looked back up from the drawing to me, Steve tried to take it away from her and put it on the pile of gifts, but Julie pulled it back towards her and took another look at it) How long did it take you to make it?
me: A few weeks
(then she looked back at the drawing and a minute later went on with her signing)
me: Have you gotten the letter?
Julie: What letter? (looked up again)
me: the one that went around the world and is signed by a lot of people.. it also had a drawing
looked at me again in between of her signing my items)
Julie: Well I get so many letters... I don't think I recall that one. When did you send it?
me: It was sent to an address and the said they were going to hand it over to you, I think they said they had given it last week
Julie:No I haven't gotten it yet, it's probably waiting for me when I get back
(by now she had signed my items)
Julie: (she smiled so warmly at me) Well goodbye (becaue PPP was on her way to come)
I was so choked up with that smile that I could only smile back
after that I started shaking again and I just needed to sit down, I just couldn't believe that I met her, even talked to her!! Unfortunately I couldn't think about it for a long time, because once the group was finished, we hurried outside because PPP and I had to catch our train. Unfortunately Victoria and liljulie had gone into the store afterwards and we didn't get to say goodbye to them, but the rest of the group had come with us and we all hugged and it was so fabulous to meet all of you!!! Jenschk, Victoria, lijulie, Jude, Leonie and the American girl (so sorry for not knowing your name), thank you so much for our lovely time there!!!
On the way back with the train, I just couldn't stop thinking about Julie, and when I got home (at a quarter past midnight) I had to tell the entire story to my mum, and today in school everyone asked me about it. I showed them the pictures and they were amazed with how stunning she looked!! And now everyone knows who Julie in fact is lol
well that's my experience, one that I'm never going to forget, even carry in my heart forever! and no one can take that away from me I'm still ecstatic lol

Everything is just so freakin screwed up!! The only thing that gets me through it all is that in no less than 3 days I get to see Elke again, and that I'm even going to London with her to - you're not going to believe this - actually meet the Julie Andrews!!! I'll be living a dream *sigh* but right now I'm still living a nightmare...
Exams are in a few weeks and of course every single teacher is now giving up big assignements and ridiculous tests with as high grades as the exams, we can't even complain because according to them it's just a matter of "good planning". Well how the fuck can we plan if we've got to do so much every day, leaving only a small amount of free time over for the students, and I'm not about to give that up!
Then yesterday, in our cooking lesson, we had to make waffles (like the 3rd time in a row, but get this, we always have to bring our own waffle-irons! Stupid stingy school, can't even buy their own aquipment!) but since I couldn't get any waffle-irons with me to school, I couldn't join the lesson, and instead of that, the teacher made me, and the two other girls who didn't have one, clean the classroom!! (actually, the other 2 the closets, and I had to do the basement!) I don't know why that teacher can't stand me but if she won't quit with bossing me around and making me do the nastiest chores there are, I won't be able to control myself any longer!
And besides all the above, there are some other Julie-fans, who I considered to be good friends, who are putting others up against me and Elke by saying things we've never said ourselves! But that's not the problem, the problem is that I trusted those girls and now they're stabbing both me and Elke in the back. Good to know though who my friends really are...

Well, the JulieAndrews.org forum also started with graphic challenges, and their very first one was The Wintry Challenge
You could create either icons, banners or wallpapers, and the "themes" were a funny, a sad, a romantic and a sexy one
I didn't do the funny one, because I simply can't think of funny lines to match the pictures
 the romantic one
( the other two )

ABBA - kisses of fire |

Being in my senior year, I've got to do a big presentation, which will have a big influence on my final grades this year.
The other 2 girls I work with, and myself of course, chose the subject Fairy Tales, because we all thought it was the most interesting topic from which we had to choose.
We are already busy with making the presentation itself, and have loads of good information. But I also thought it'd be nice to make a little survey, to see what people from all around the world think about fairy tales and so on.
So I've made a little list, and you're free to answer it. If you do participate, would you please let me know from which country you are and perhaps even your age, it'll be easier for me to compare afterwards.
Thank you
A/S
