clocks and freedom

Hya guys,

after 3628800 seconds (6 weeks to make it easy) I'm back on track.
3628800 seconds of social isolation. I was going nuts all by myself!
But at one o'clock this afternoon the dark days wer officially over!!

By the way: I found the locket I was looking for. It's one like the one on the picture.
No, it's not a gold one! I said LIKE the one on the picture.
I totally love lockets like that. Now I'm looking for another one, one that bigger (about three centimeters diameter). Let's say one that's big enought to put an inscription on the back.
Anyone who knows where to find lockets like this (as large as this one or bigger) please tell me!

I totally missed my crew. Guys, we're going to have to make it up for the time we lost the past two months. If I'd have a lover I think he'd go nuts with my chattering. I'm going in overdrive, I guess. Compensating for what I've had to miss the past weeks.

I really have to cool down.

It's one hundred and nine degrees in this crowded room
No room to breathe with walls as cold as a gallery
This is no place for me
Such hard faces in smoke
The smell lingers in my clothes
It's a bad night to be alone
But that's the way it goes

And I think of you whenever life gets me down
I think of you whenever you're not around
And you rest your bones
Somewhere far from my own
Yeah, but you still pull me home                          
(think of you - a fine frenzy)

Olive you guys!!!!

One of us

Hya guys,

it's me again.
I have to say thank you, to all of you, 'cause we've reached 720 hits on this blog since it started out on October 31th.720 people from at least 20 different countries. I can only see the 10 countries that had the most people reading (Belgium, the US, Mexico, Germany, Canada, Hungary, the Philippines, Slovenia, Maleysia and Australia) but I know there are more, because of earlyer statistics (the Netherlands, Alaska, Thailand, Romania, Russia, Peru, Australia, Indonesia, Italy, Pakistan, Sweden, Singapore, EL Salvador, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Switzerland, Japan, Mongolia, Serbia, South Korea, Chili, Denmark, Austria, the UK, Spain, India, Slovakia, Saoedi-Arabia and France for example) So many different countries, with so many different religions.

And that's what brings me to "Grilled Cheesus" an episode from the second season of "Glee". It's the story line about the dad of one of those kids. He had a heart attack and all of the other members of the groupe try to let that boy know that they are there for him. The point of it all: they have also different religions, different beliefs. And the episode ends with a cover of "One of us" and I was just really touched, I guess that the best way to put in word how it feels, by the whole episode. I'm not so much of a believer, not in God anyway, but it showed me there has to be something, something that's sacred to me, something I can hold on to no matter what. And the fact that I lay awake with the very question the song "One of us" is all about is the reason I really wanted to share it with you. I've put the ending of the episode down below.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I know there is talking in it, I'm sorry for that. Yes, there are better versions to find if I don't want to have the talking in it, but then you wouldn't be able to see the performance. It's not that special. It's really simple actually but that's the beauty of the whole act. But that's just my opinion. It's up to you to make your own opinion on it, and if you have the time I'd like you to send me your thoughts about the whole religion/beliefs thing.

Olive you.

examination-fever

Hya people,

I know it's been a while. The reason is simple: I'm in the middle of an exam-period.
Had to study the last two (almost three) weeks an this afternoon, two o-clock, I'm having my second exam. Justice. Or law, whatever you call it. It's quite an interesting course, but having exams in the afternoon isn't... I'm going crazy and time is going so slow!!! I'd just want to get started with that exam.
Just getting nervous from sitting here.

Going to head back to my books. My parent 'll kill me if I fail any of my exams this year.

Olive you all and to all of you that are in the same position as I am right now (studying for exams or making them) you have my heart and support.

New Year and Glee

Hya guys,

a happy New Year to all of you.

I hope most of you are enjoying the hollidays. Me not so much. I'm studying all the time for my exams. They start next Tuesday. And I'm really nervous. Last wasn't a blast and I'm so scared I'm going to blow the whole thing. If I fail again, my parent will eat me raw.

Ow, I've got something for aa the Belgian readers of my blog...  Glee started out on television last week. Maybe it sounds a bit dorky, but it's really cool actually. Maybe I'm just dorky... Whatever. It's about a school choir.

One of their performances you can watch right here. I's not the part from the show but it's the exact same song so... enjoy.


I'm going to be heading back to my study books for another hour or so. Have great night people. And I'm wishing you all the very best of 2011.

Olive you!!!
