This is supposed to be a website about me, so ‘Welcome’ I guess… :)

Rollercoaster Rides

So remember when I last updated? Yeah, me neither
Anyway, life has been crazy, so let’s just quickly take a look at what’s been occupying me.
As you might know, me and a friend of mine made a children’s book. I wrote it, she drew the illustrations. It’s finished, and was supposed to be released by December 09 but with crazy busyness at work I postponed the release. I will announce a big release soon. So look forward to that.
December has been the month of work… I’ve worked full days until January 10th, which was very tiresome but rewarding as well… I love the insanity of December
Of course there was also Christmas and New Years but those days were pretty numb, given the tiredness. I went to the family for Christmas and fell asleep on New Years. Good times. Lol.
Then January came and sales period commenced… which is lovely if you’re into self destruction after working during the holiday season. Just kidding, of course I love it. Stress is fun!
I did notice that age becomes a factor in life during such workathon, and I’m tired a bit faster than I used to.
And then, right when the busiest period of January is finished, comes another whirlwind. I like flying.
A promotion comes up, and on February 1st I will no longer work in our shop in Sint Niklaas, for I will become assistant manager in Wetteren. A challenge, but one I’m happy to take and fully committed to making it succeed.
This change in life brings a whole new set of factors along, not only am I unsure of when i’ll have time off, it’s also a distance I now have to travel. For now I will be doing my hour-and-a-half travel by public transport, but I definitely need to work on my drivers license too now. And buy a car… ugh, I don’t like things that cost money.
Well, I do, since I love shopping, but I don’t like sudden costs that eat up my whole budget. Thankfully I’ve been budgetting rather well since I got back from the US so…
In between all those crazy things I’m finally getting my social life back again as well, not in huge amounts but in amounts I really needed. I had a lovely dinner with Sara yesterday, just like the old days when she lived a street away, and for the upcoming weeks I know there are going to be even more epic sexytiemz with Anne, Mathias, Tom,… I’m pretty booked the upcoming weeks but I like it.
Also, I really need a massage, my neck and shoulders are hard as concrete and have been hurting a lot lately. Any volunteers?
Voila, I think this has quickly updated you… typing on my Hero (yes my iPhone finally broke down after its crash in the beginning of December) isn’t going as quickly as typing on the computer but hey, its a blog at least!
Talk to you soon bitchez! X.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you enjoy to celebrate during this time of the year!
I had a great day today, even though I’ve been feeling sick and exhausted all day. Yes, a great day, with my family.
Apparently there have been some misconceptions in the past when I talk about my family, and I would just like to point out that they’re not bad people, they’re not evil, they’re just… my family.
Me and my family have had our differences in the past, we’ve gone trough multiple misunderstandings, and we don’t connect on a deep typical family level… But in the end they’re still my family. And they’re great in their own odd way.
I know I often talk about how friends are the family one chooses, and real family is just that… That doesn’t mean I don’t like my family, it just means I connect better with my friends, which is not weird since I talk with them way more than with my family. Is that wrong? No it isn’t. It’s just the way it is.
Whenever I’m with the family I generally have a good time, I might not express that as much as when I have a bad moment in life, but in the spirit of Christmas I’d like to point that out.
So yeah, I hope you all had a great Christmas, I know I had a good day… With my family, which will always be just that… My family, weirdness inc.

On the plane, again.

I know, I’ve been bad at updating my blog during my US travel. On the other hand, I’ve been updating my Twitter like crazy so if you want a shitload of random updates of the moment, go check my tweets from the past two weeks.
Right now I’m on the plane from Sacramento to Los Angeles, yes Los Angeles, my last stop on my trip.
After I left Atlanta I flew to Dallas/Fort Worth/Arlington. There I saw cowboys, blowing angels, lots of pretty architecture, and experienced that what Texas has plenty of… Food.
I can’t remember how many food i’ve stuffed in the week I spend in Texas but it was a lot. And I got that food at legendary places like The Hickory Stick, Joe whatshisname(Mexican),… And then one day we decided that I had to experience the Riverwalk, so on Friday we drove down 7 hours to get to San Antonio, where I ate awesome food at Mi Tieras.
In between eating I did other things ofcourse, one of the most fun things being the painting that I made with Stacey. She had drawn a horse, so I decided to make it into a unicorn, with a joint, that flies because he’s eternally stoned, so I added a starry sky, and a green flowerbed repesenting earth. Then Stacey drew a sunflower, which I transformed into an evil sunflowerbirdlike thingie, she drew a lovely alien, I drew it’s accompanying spaceship. We added flames to the unicorn to make it fierce, and in the end put our hands in paint and signed the thing with our handprints. That was an epic night.
Another epic night was when I met up with Michael in San Antonio and we went out for drinks and got pretty drunk on Hurricanes. They were good though
I saw museums, lots of lovely buildings, and at the end of the week I ended up in Austin, where I had starbucks with Torsten and Stephen, before Stephen dropped me off at the airport for my flight to California.
I landed half an hour too late in Sacramento – my first delay on the trip -and then met up with Jess.
Together with her I went to the amazing Target, had Jamba Juice and Panda Express, and we went to San Fransisco where we walked the Golden Gate Bridge. The full length. Twice.
Ugh, so many awesome things have happened so far that I’m totally forgetting to mention a bunch of them, but the most important thing is that I totally love the USA, and I’ve enjoyed myself so much thusfar. I really am so happy that I went on this trip, and I love and adore all the amazing people I’ve met so far, or have spoken to on the phone thanks to my American number, and I am missing each and every one of them already tremendously.
Soon I’ll land in Los Angeles where I’ll meet up with Christian, I can’t wait to see his cute face again
Photos are on my facebook, and full quick updates are on my Twitter.
I’ll be home by the end of the week and that makes me a bit sad… But I’m gonna enjoy my last week here, that’s for sure

More Atlanta updates!

O hai!
It’s sundaynight, and I’m tired. It’s been an amazing week so far, and this weekend was to die for.
After roaming around Atlanta the past days and visiting things like the world of coke or the high museum, Carlos, Mike and Sam arrived in Atlanta for what ended up to be a very fun weekend.
Carlos, Mike and I went to the Georgia aquarium, since I had failed in doing so all week, and then went for drinks in a Mexican bar where cellphonereception was unheard of, and we then met up with Sam who had arrived by then.
We went to their hotel and then decided to hit the liquorstore for vodka to start what ended up in a very drunk night.
While Sam remained in the hotel because he didn’t ‘feel’ like going to the club, Mike, Carlos and I went to Blake’s… Where some random guy asked if Carlos and I were newlyweds. Lmao.
Anyway, we then ended up in a 24hr diner with a dj and everything, ate breakfast one way or another, and went back to the hotel around 3-4ish where we met up with Sam again by giving him a much needed pillow
After waking up the next morning – without being hungover fyi! – we went mallshopping. Atlantic station and Lenox were the destinations, though we hit up American Apparel outside Lenox as well. Money was spend, and another day flew by.
For dinner we went to the Hard Rock Cafe… Where they were all dancing to YMCA. Yes, it was doomed to become another fun night. And it was, alcohol in the hotelroom this time without hitting the clubs, we ended up going to bed a bit earlier but we woke up way later this morning
Memorable moments include singing No Scrubs, talking about (the lack of) healthcare, inappropriate things and getting slammed in your chair. The Twitter accounts of me, @imike1411, @likesrobots and @samthereforiam will show you way too many quotes and random moments so feel free to check those out for more detailed randomness
I love people, and it was sad saying goodbye to Carlos, Mike and Sam because I have no idea when I’ll ever see them again… Something that will happen more during my trip. I’m not into that.
I’ve had an amazing trip so far, and I’m loving it! Tuesday I’m off to Dallas/Arlington!
