Perfect weekends and early schooldays

Okay...

It seems I've got a little more then 5000 hits in a year time!
So... I think I can call that a personal succes.
It makes me really happy that so many people read my blogs...
I never expected such a turnout...
When I started my that told me very few people would visit a blog...
And indeed very few people visitted HIS blog.
Mine is a lot mor popular then his apparently.

I'd say that calls for a celebration... but I celebrated already this weekend.
Last week it was my 20th birthday and my family stopped by. And my boyfriend!
Thank you so much Jamie!!!! I truly had a great weekend.

I'm gonna call it quits 'cause I have to start really early tomorrow. School at 7.20 a.m. TOO SOON!!!

Bye!!

A time for new stories

November 14th. Dark clouds were gathering over London city. A big storm was coming up, probably the worst they'd seen in years, and on the news woman was warning everyone to stay in.

Jamie turned off the TV and walked to the window. Miki jumped up from the pillow she was lying on and took the spot next to his feet. "No good news tonight, girl." he said to the little black-and-grey cat as he scratched her head.
It was 4 p.m., the sky was pitch dark and the rain was attacking every single lost soul that dared to come out on the streets. Luckily for Jamie, he was safely inside.
“I’m going to the Prezzo. What do you think?” The cat looked at him as if she understood what he was saying and angled her head. “Yes, I know, it’s crazy to go outside, but it’s boring up here.”

Somewhere down the block, Nina was less lucky. Her car broke down somewhere on Down Street and due to the weather none of the mechanic wanted to take the risk of coming outside.
And since she was new in town she had no-one to call for help. “Lucky me. It’s my birthday!” she thought frustrated. So she closed off the car an started to walk. She really needed to get inside so she stopped at the cafeteria on the corner of the street.

When Jamie entered the Prezzo it was more crowded than ever. The only place left was at a small table on the other side of the room. There was a girl sitting across the table he’d never seen before. “Hello, I’m Jamie. Do you mind if I join you?”

She watched him for a moment before she smiled. “Not at all. I’m Nina.”

+ + + + +

I'm trying something new. I'm trying to write a new story.
I started to write one 8 years ago, but since I'm no little kid anymore and my style has changed tremendously, I decided to start over instead of trying to change a story I'll probably never be able to change into what it should be.

What I've put on top of this blog entry is the very beginning of the story. And the thing is... I'd really like your opinions. It should be a mix up between a romantic story an a detective eventually.

So tell me if I should go on, if I should change things, anything.
If you have ideas that could help me for the rest of the story... those are welcome too.

Also... I'm looking for a titel...

Olive you people.

trial (and error?): a video blog

hey guys...

doing it totally different this thime. Like 'turning it 360° around'-different...
I wasn't going to post this video... but Mia convinced me it was funny and I should put it on my blog. So here it is.

Go ahead. Laugh all you want. Personally I think the pillow scene is quite embarassing... can't help it... the right words abandonned me...

Have fun!
(no I couldn't pick another cover for the video... I know it's... weird...)
please leave a comment on whether I should keep posting a video blog once in a while or not!!!

Sophia Bush

First of all... I'm so sorry (again). It took longer then I expected...But better late than never...

Sophia Bush...
Who is she? What does she? Where is she from? Why do I love her so much?
You'll find out if you read along with me.

I actually did some research this time... so I hope you all appreciate it.


Sophia Anne Bush. Born on July 8th, 1982, Pasadena, California.
She's mostly known for her appearance as Brooke Penelope Davis in One Tree Hill.

“The purest thing in the world is a child's happiness, and to work with an organization that gives that back to children who have lost it means more than words can say.”
- S

I just love the way she's with children. I truly believe she's just like Brooke in the last couple of seasons in One Tree Hill. She's kind, funny, lovable, ...

“Africa is one of the most incredible continents in the world, and one that I have studied since I was a child. The thought of my children not knowing Africa as it is, but having to hear about it as it once was, is not a thought I can bear. The MWCF is preserving not only a region, but a culture, a way of life, and an ecosystem that we cannot afford to lose.”
- S

Also animals are important to her. She recently bought another dog. She went to look for Patch at the animal pound. So sweet.
She's also against bullying animals. (Now what good person isn't?) But you can read about 'case Lennox' here. He's on death row (speaking figurative). It seems they going to put him down on the 21th if nothing happens.

Something different maybe...
Sophia won the 'DoSomething'-award... Just guessing that alle the good stuff she does actually gets rewarded. You can watch her reaction when you click the link. She had some tough competition but it seem her fans, her 'little voices' are as strong and numerous as Sophia herself.

She's also a missive support for gay, lesbian and bisexual people... If it wasn't for her, my best friend Mia would've never come out of the closet. Mia's mother and some of  her family members would still be in the dark about who she really is. Mia is her so greatfull. And personally I thing Sophia couldn't do a better job. She's truly amazing how she's taking up for all of us, straight-laced or not.

And then you have.... "#Love is Louder" and "to write love on her arms".
Those two organisations are the most special to me.
You've probably already seen the tab 'Love is Louder' on this blog, so that means I'm already part of that. I'm not going to say much about both of these, because, even though I'm good with words, my words wouldn't tell you enough about how great they are and how important they are. Even how much they mean to me... putting that in words... Not even the bare basics would be acknowledged.
So I'm just going to show you.

This is the site of #Love is Louder: http://www.loveislouder.com/
And here are the video's you should watch: http://www.loveislouder.com/video.html
(they only take a minute or so.)

This is the site of 'To Write Love On Her Arms': http://www.twloha.com/
And if ther's only one video you really realy REALLY have to watch... it's this one:
 (yes, it's a bit to wide...but I don't know much about html, so I can't change it...)

Sophia Bush on WhoSay

So all together... she's my number one favourite star (she shares that first place with Alecia Moore, better known as P!nk, and Sarah Bettens, lead singer of K's Choice).
They're on that first place just for being who they are and the message they send to the people.

------

To finish up I'd like to thank Mia, a lot, for her help with this blog entry. This entry wouldn't be what it is, if it wasn't for her.

So... olive you guys!
And leave a message with your opinion!!!!!

So sorry

But due to not enough time and to much stuff I want to put in this blog I won't get it ready tonight.

Don't worry. I'm still gonna put it online... it just will take some days extra.
I really hope you guys don't mind...

Olive you!!!

big announcement

Hye people!!!

it's going be a really really short  one today...
Just announcing my big special edition...
This weekend I'm putting someone very special in the spotlights...
SOPHIA BUSH!!!

Why, how, what and when... you'll gonna read it all in my next blog.
Olive you all!!!

missing someone

Hya people,

here we go again!
Great news for me: the exams were a blast!
Starting in my second year without any consequences!!! yay.
I've put a lot of blood, sweat and tears in the studying but it paid off!
So quite frankly I can say: I'm happy. (cough - understatement - cough)

And now... full time boyfriend-time.
24 days now...
Jamie... He's pretty sweet. He's mine.

The only sad thing is the fact I haven't seem him since were together, actually...haven't seen him since the end of June... Even worse.
The problem: he's working, I had my exams, and I was going to see him somewhere in the past two weeks... but the little hope I had for this weekend just faded away.
Bad karma I guess. (don't know what I did wrong, but hey, karma's roads are unfathomable.
The distance isn't helping either... 125 kilometres isn't exactly close-by.
An hour and 20 minutes by car, almost three hours when I'd take the bus and the train (and another bus).

Long-distance relationships...
not so bad actually... you see each-other once in a while... but it gets harder when you don't see each-other at all...

I believe I'm getting depressed by the idea...
I'm going to finish with a really suitable song to my opinion.
Avril Lavigne with 'wish you were here.

Olive you guys!!
