I'm tired, new Harry Potter film sucked unwaxed arse, but I'm happy I got to see my onee-chan before she left, that's most important to me~

And eekk, I just got the scare of my life. I opened my "Gackt" file, which is supposed to contain all music and vids, but it's fucking damn EMPTY. It got lost in cyberspace when they backed it up I suppose.

Thank shiisasu my ext. harddisk was up to date as I mentioned before, so at the moment I'm transferring about 70 GB from that thing back to this pc. And I think it's gonna take at least 20 minutes. +__+

I'm off to the new Harry Potter film with my onee-chan, and to see her off to Japan~

I'll be back on Wednesday. :)

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.

Finally success. #.# I just received a letter from school that I've been admitted~

It feels good to get in somewhere without a hassle (well, excluding the bureaucratic hell that is Studielink), after the art academy fail.. I'm terribly relieved.

Bad news is that my pc, even after the system swipe, refused to boot again. Now we're back with the same old "damaged files in C" story, and I'm sure it'll take a few more days until I get my pc back in some state. *prays for her files* I'm lucky I made a backup of the most vital parts of my documents (music, pics) a few days before the crash but the whole bunch is too much for my ext. disk.

Because Marie/littleflapper will be in Holland the first week of August, I will celebrate my 19th birthday for friends on the 6th instead of the 27th, at my home in Gemert.

So this is an open invitation, if you want to come, just let me know~

Crazy, crazy people.

They go on a short holiday and they come back with a car full of stuff; 2 giant vases (like, my height) and a giant buddha sculpture.

"It's much cheaper in Belgium!!"

Lol, of course it is. This is Dutchland, where expensive stuff becomes twice as expensive by default~


*edit*

My pc refused to boot because something in the booting system programme mechanism shite is broken. Hallelujah, what a surprise. So right now they're backing everything up and then wipe the entire system clean for a fresh start. *sigh* It's amazing that that had to happen within one year after buying the damn thing. It's good that they can fix it, but after things like this I always need an entire day to get everything running to my tastes again. Which will most likely be tomorrow. *sigh*

*edit 2*

Also, I'm finally getting somewhere with the school ordeal. I overlooked the fact that I have to get things taken care of with tuitition fees immediately. Yup, they be hungry for money.. At least we're moving to the stage where the school is contacting me instead of Studielink. Though I'm still getting silly notification mail from Studielink everyday. Wow. Bureaucracy hell. As for tuitition fees, they are €1260 for the schoolyear 2009-2010. My parents will be paying them for me in monthly terms, so I won't have to apply for a tuitition fee loan. As things are looking now though, with the room I'm eyeing in Maastricht (I'm going to check the place out this Monday) I'll need roughly €500 a month just to live somewhere and have drinks and food. The rent for that room is a monthly €420. It's in an apartment building with a lot of university students (the university is close by) and some HBO students that don't like studenthouse atmospheres (like me, lol). The room is fully furnished (BIG PLUS) and has its own kitchen. Sanitary will be shared with 5 other people, but kept clean by employed cleaners. I'll see on Monday what the surroundings are like, and if I can cross the distance to school by bike (most likely yes, so that's good). I hope I can get it, that's one more worry off my chest...

( Over here. )

The kitties slipped outside while it was still raining, I didn't close the door properly.

Now they're back inside, all wet, but Phoebus has something.

And it's making horrible squeaking, tortured noises. I think it's a bird.. Omg... ;_;

**edit**

( It's a bird.. )

**edit 2**

It just died, so it didn't suffer for too long.. I hope..

I feel so bad about this, why didn't I see him or hear that bird earlier?

When I just went to retrieve it to put it outside, Phoebus jumped on the table, sniffing it before grabbing it again, fully intending to EAT it. I slapped him, grabbed the bird, put it outside and closed the door. Properly this time, I hope..

I don't know which one of the two is the culprit in the end; Phoebus seems too fat and slow to catch a bird, while Luna is very quick and agile. And they both came back in soaked, so..
The bird was missing a lot of feathers and its body was completely fractured (they're big enough to do that just with their jaw) so I suppose most of the lethal stuff took place outside, I don't see any feathers here. Poor thing.. I feel so guilty. And sickened. And angry.

It's their instinct so I can't blame them, it's nature; but it's cruel to come walking back in to start playing with a screaming catch.

Now the red devil is searching around, meowing with that innocent look on his face. Screw him, I'm going to bed.

Yesterday I was in the Efteling with es_chan~

The Efteling is a multiple awardwinning Dutch themepark based around classic fairytales intertwined with themes from Dutch folklore and history, that first opened its doors in 1952, when it was still a playground next to the Fairytale Forest; a route that takes you past real-life depictions of many Grimm fairytales as well as others, with lots of designs by Dutch artist Anton Pieck. It's said that Walt Disney himself once came to the Fairytale Forest to look for inspiration for his themepark in the USA.
The Efteling is one of the most popular attractions in Holland for both the Dutch and tourists, worldfamous for its attention to detail and preservation of nature.

( It's epic. )

When I came home yesterday my parents told me that they'd be leaving the next day for a short holiday in Brugge, Belgium. They'll be back sometime Friday.
They left a while ago so now it's just me and the kitties here, since they dropped Belle off at a pet pension. I hate, HATE being alone. D:

I just read that Michael will be buried 17:00 Dutch time. The memorial will be broadcasted live as well, around 18:00 I think. *sigh* It still makes me sad, really..

I'll post pics of today later tonight, Michael Jackson's Dangerous Tour is on tv so I gotta watch~ <3

Fucking pc broke down again, I think. The trouble started when my antivirus started to act up, and when I tried to reinstall it the whole thing suddenly wouldn't boot anymore. Dad's looking at it right now but I don't think there's hope.

I swear that thing has been malfunctioning ever since we got it. They sold us crap.


I'm off to bed, I guess. *fumes*

I hate the instances that stand for the bureaucracy of higher education in the Netherlands. IB-group, Studielink... totally worthless.

It's taking me days just to get enrolled in a school. And I haven't even been in contact with the school yet, it all goes through a third party.

I really want to get this over with.


Next monday I'm going to the Efteling with es_chan!!

EDIT: I KILLED A SNAKE.



LOL I wish my arms were that tanned. But it's just the sunlight coming from behind me.
I'm still as pale as I was before I went to Japan. DDD:
