even my mum loved it, she wants to go see it again, which means something alright.
it was so much better than Twilight. even though i loved that first film, i thought it was a bit too impressionistic (is that even a word?) and too mysterious and too blue. it didn't have the same feel to it as the book, for me anyway. i loved how the colours of New Moon were so much warmer, how they kept the story as much as possible like the book. i reckon it's a good thing they got a new director. it was really exciting and thrilling to see New Moon come to live on a screen.
and, Rob Pattinson's American accent was so much better! i'm glad he doesn't sound so foreign anymore. i love a British accent, but it didn't fit Twilight. also, i'm so glad they kept on Taylor Lautner for the part of Jacob. man that boy is looking fine in this film! i didn't particularly like him with longer hair in Twilight, but now it didn't bother me so much. (that could have something to do with his 6-pack and muscular body...)
he nailed the part of Jake. he just looked so sweet and happy and warm. man, i want my own werewolf boy. :(
only thing that bugged me was that it went so quickly suddenly, after Bella gets a visit from Alice. they left out quite a bit , which is totally understandable of course, especially since the first 3/4s of the film were so much like the book. but i'd have loved to see more of the flight to Italy, and the scenes after the Volturi let them go.
anyways, awesome movie! i'm going to see it again in a couple of weeks with my best friend. maybe once more with my parents too... my dad's curious as to what all the fuss is about. ;)

i absolutely LOVED last week's SPN episode. i had a feeling it was gonna be really sad, don't know why. and i cried buckets, seriously, i don't think i ever cried so much watching a Supernatural episode.
i especially loved that moment between Dean and Jo, when he kissed her. the way they looked at each other was saying so much. i think it was better than words.
i might be wrong, but i like to think that Jo was silently telling him that she's loved him all along. and i like to believe that Dean was silently apologising for never noticing her before, for always thinking of her as a little sister rather than a potential love interest.
i think it really got to him this time, losing someone. maybe i'm reading too much in all of this, but it's the way i see it.
i always liked Jo, so i was sad to see her die. the moment when Jo actually died and Ellen realised she's on her own, was heartbreaking.
all in all, one of the best episodes i think. i need to watch it again!

must be so so awesome to see Jensen and Jared (and Aurélie's gonna kill me for putting Jensen first, mwahaha. we have a contract though. he's hers. Jared's mine. though i'm a supernatural whore so i'll take them both if i can. and i'm really not as dirty as i sounded then.) up close and in the flesh! (see i even remembered i started a sentence! i'm super tired and then i get hyper and weird and funny. in my mind. hehe.
i'm just going through my photos from the past few months. i won 40 free photo prints (LMAO. of all the good things there are to win in this world. i win photo prints. i'm actually LMAO'ing here. how sad) so i'm trying to find the 40 best ones.
i'm rather liking this one:
it was taken right after the McFly concert in Cologne, Germany, last September. good times! though security made me throw my umbrella with the rubbish and the stole my bottle of water and i was generally not happy with their attitude. we spent ages outside, waiting for the band to come out, and eventually they waved at us from miles away, haha. oh the things we do! it was cold that night, and we had to walk allll the way back to the hotel in the dark, scaryyy. but good times. :)
just realised i've never atually posted a photo up here. well, there ya go. me on the right, Aurélie aka best friend and travel buddy on the left. :)
okay i should go to bed, this post is so odd and random.
oh just one more thing:
he's so YUMMYYY. btw we just had that discussion again: does he use eyeliner or are his eyes naturally so...so...gorgeous? we talked about that during the Jonas Brothers concert this weekend... and ohmygod i sometimes actually wonder how obsessed we really are with this show. :D
but yeah, i went to see the J Bro's, Joe is mighty fine in the flesh, our seats were accidentally front row (we did not want to be seen there. LOL), they are quite good live, and we had such a blast, it was funnn!
(btw, Joe is my guilty pleasure from now on. don't tell anyone.)
right! signing off now. just need to add all the tags down the page. incredible how i manage to talk about so may different things in one post!
night night!

And MY GOD, they were awesome!! :o
I just can't shut up about it. I regret not getting tickets now for the concert in Rotterdam, Holland as well, because I would have loved to see them more than once.
Billie Joe had dyed his hair blonde again, don't like that too much but that man is sexy! *drools*
The show was absolutely perfect, fireworks and explosions and the screen behind them, just WOW.
I loved every second of it. Even the drunk bunny doing the YMCA before the show was highly entertaining. Aargh I really REALLY hope they will do another tour soon because I have to see them again.
Can't stop listening to the new album now. <3
Other news:
1. Starting my internship on Thursday. Observing a class for the first time. Nervous already!
2. McFly in Cologne and Tilburg was so much fun. <3
3. Uni started again. Busybusybusy.
4. I've made dinner so often lately. I was surprised to realise I'm a good cook!
5. SPN S5 started. I am in love with Dean. Or Jensen. That man is perfect.
6. Was going to see All-American Rejects tonight but no one wanted to come with me so I was gonna sell my ticket but I can't find anyone who wants to buy it. :( Wasted €19. Oh well.
That's about it.

i'm so bored right now. why is it that Sundays seem to last forever while at the same time you can't get anything done??
watched 1408 earlier and it freaked me right out, the ending especially. i couldn't really see how John Cusack would fit in a horror film but he fit the part very well.
i just made a list of things to pack for our trip to Cologne. there's hardly anything on it, must be the first time i'll be travelling light! i heard there's already 10 people queuing at the venue since yesterday. :| this is so getting out of hand!
i'm glad we're not getting there till Tuesday midday. we're just gonna make it a nice citytrip and enjoy ourselves. i refuse to queue up in that madness. let's hope we'll get somewhere near the front on Sunday in Tilburg!
the parents just went to visit uncle Peter in the hospital. i didn't wanna go and luckily they didn't make me. i don't like hospitals, they make me sad.
i might watch another Grey's Anatomy episode, i watched the first one the other day and it's quite good. nothing like ER but i liked it. plus, Patrick Dempsey's hot, even though he's old. ;)
been downloading some Destine songs too, they're he support act for Tilburg, should be good.
still bored.
peace out.

it wasn't as boring as i thought it'd be. we got free drinks afterwards! ;)
anyways, i graduated, with 64%. which was only 4% short of graduating cum laude, pft. but i'm happy!
met up with Aurélie to give her the traintickets for Cologne next week.
then went for a lovely spaghetti with the family. celebrating properly with champagne tonight, yum.
on another note, watched the new SPN episode this morning and it was awesome. Dean's comment about not wanting to be an angel condom made me laugh a little too much. and i found that thing he did with his blood on the wall (to send the angels away) strangely hot... Sam's little face when Bobby told him to lose his number broke my heart. :( jeez, seems like those guys are just getting better actors every season! LOVE. <3
anyways. long and exhausting day.

the pie was good though, i'm getting the hang of baking and cooking these days! i made a curry the day before and it was absolutely delicious, even if i say so myself.
on another note, new SPN episode tomorrow! can't wait. i might not be able to watch it right away though, as i'm going to uni for this official graduation thing. pfft. but #luciferiscoming!
i've just decided i'm gonna start watching Grey's Anatomy. watched an episode yesterday but i didn't know who was who etc. so i'm gonna try and find all the eps online. there's an activity for today!

1. All Hell Breaks Loose 1&2: I can't choose between these 2, I see them as a unit. The scene where Sam dies is heartbreaking but so beautiful too. Dean knows it's too late but he still tells Sam that he's gonna make it all better. Then the scene when Dean is talking to dead Sammy is one of my favourites ever. I can understand when Jensen said he only had a few takes in him. Sam trying to calm everyone down whilst he's scared too. Dean's face when he sees Sam's alive again. It's all brilliant.
2. Lazarus Rising: Epic episode. The first few minutes go by without any dialogue and yet I think that's one of the best parts they ever did. Dean in that shop, grabbing food, drink, and porn mags. <3 When Sam sees Dean's alive, that face, love it. The 'douched up' Impala is a grat funny moment to lighten it up.
3. Fresh Blood: This might not be a crowd favourite but I've loved it from the first time I saw it. My favourite scene ever is when they're in the motel room and Dean wants to go hunt Gordon but Sam wishes he'd just be his brother again. Dean actually changes his mind for his brother. Lovelovelove. <3 Also, the music during that scene is absolutely gorgeous.
4.The Kids Are Alright: Just because Jensen is such a great actor there, and because this one's freakin' scary! Kids can be so much more frightening than actual monsters.
5. Mystery Spot, Bad Day at Black Rock, & Yellow Fever: Because the boys are so much better at comedy than they give themselves credit for! Mystery Spot is a favourite but it comes with a bit of a bittersweet aftertaste. It must have crushed Sam. BDaBR: love how Dean is counting their profits from the lottery tickets out on his fingers while Sam is on the phone to Bobby. So subtle. Sam losing his shoe. Best sad face ever, by Jared!
Which brings me to why I love these actors: they are great with big emotions, anger, sadness, happiness... But sometimes there's this subtle change in their eyes or face that's just so real and believable, that's what makes them so good I think.
Due to boredom I might start posting about the episodes I'm currently watching. I recently started watching S4 again so I might post about that some more....

my summer pretty much sucked. i spent most of the past 3 months working on my thesis.
the week at the caravan with Aurélie was fun. we got interviewed by a tv-crew for the national news but never made it on tv. shame. not. ;)
Rock Werchter was so much fun, as was Pukkelpop. i think i kinda love festivals. highlights were Snow Patrol, the Offspring, Placebo, and New Found Glory.
what else did i do, let's see... i've applied for that awesome job but it turns out i'm graduating a week too late to be allowed to take part in the tests. pfft. been looking at some other jobs but a) i can't find anything that actually sounds like something i'd like to do, and b) every time i do find something, you have to have at least 5 years of experience. blah. how are you supposed to find a job like that?
i've decided now to study for one more year. just ONE. i'm gonna do the teacher training thing at university, should be fun to finally learn something practical. i'm officially graduating this Friday by the way. well, hopefully, if my professor gave me good grades for my thesis.
apart from thesis work and worrying about my future, i've mainly watched a lot of tv. Supernatural, of course. the S3 dvd box is my new favourite, especially the gag real.
"you can do me in the morning" never fails to give Aurélie and me the giggles for at least a couple of minutes. :p
got a few cool things coming up next week: we're going to Cologne, Germany to see McFly again, first date ofheir European tour! then the same week we're going to see them in Tilburg, Holland too. we're seeing quite a bit of Europe that week! ;)
anyways. that's me for this summer. i can also tell you that i'm dying to get back to writing. i haven't written anything good in a few years, mainly because of uni. i've just rewritten an old FletherJones thing into a J2 thing and it was nice to see that i still somewhat have it.
i miss writing. i just don't have the time to sit down and come up with storylines these days. though i recently started something that might be fun to finish. in Dutch, so no posting it here...
anyways, again. i'm off. almost midnight. i need sleep!

and afterwards was even funnier, Aurélie was almost hyperventilating from giggling so much, then i said something stupid and it started all over again. :D good times!
think we both needed a few hours like that: silly jokes, stupid sense of humour, and everything can be funny. shame she had to catch her train right after the film ended, but we're meeting up again on Friday, to go watch Transformers 2. Shiaaaa! ;)
last exam tomorrow. just want to get it over and done with really. hope i'm not gonna be too nervous, but it should be easy enough.

the previous 2 exams went sort of well. especially English, i was done in 20 mins., that must be a record. was kinda silly though, we had to fill in some words in sentences, and choose between pairs like "its" and "it's" or "whose" and "who's", stuff like that.
the last one's English too, oral this time, and we have to do some telephoning roll plays and a job interview. eww.
oh well. going to the cinema this afternoon with Aurélie! haven't seen her in weeks so that should be fun! :) we're going to see The Proposal, the trailer looks funny! plus, hello, Ryan Reynolds. <3 i've loved him since Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place, haha.
we're also going to see Transformers 2 on Friday. Shiaaaa. it's been too long since i've seen anything with him so i can't wait!
oh, totally different subject, but how come i never noticed Peter Facinelli is kinda hot...? i didn't like him at all with the blonde Carlisle hair, but he's kinda beautiful i just realised. huh. weird. :)
anyways, i'm going to study for a bit...
peace out. xx

putting together my cv is nothing - i already made one when i was applying for internships last october so i only need to adapt that one a little. but the letter is something else. i don't know how much i should say, what i should definitely mention and what i definitely shouldn't, how detailed it should be... i want them to be interested to know more but not bore them to death with insignificant details.
i haven't actually grasped how serious this is. i mean, when i was applying for an internship, it wasn't really important what i put. those companies knew that i didn't really matter who they took on as none of us could actually do anything or knew anything relevant. for that local tv station where i did my internship, i was just someone who came to help and they didn't have to pay.
but now it's sort of for real. ugh. i've mentioned this before but i find it so scary.
i was putting together a list of pro's and cons in my head earlier, and the only con i could think of is that i'm basically dead scared of going there, the real world of grown up people who have jobs. which shouldn't really be taken into account as it's silly.
oh well. i'll try to focus on my exam of tomorrow instead for now! communication of companies and government. yay. not.

i just dragged my sofa in front of the open window and lounged in the sun for a bit. i feel all warm now (been feeling cold all the time these past few days). i was too lazy to even go outside, haha, that's so bad.
had a good shower too. feeling warmed up, relaxed. i'm all ready for another couple of hours of revision!
now i'm just waiting for my mum to call me and update me on what's going on at home... it's gonna be a looong phone call for sure. i've been at uni for a week now, i miss my mum's cooking and my own bed and my stereo and the tv. lol
just 3 more exams and it'll be over.
got some nice things to look forward to. gonna go watch 17 again next Saturday, then Transformers2 the week after. and i'm going to Bertrix for a few days with my best friend, should be fun!
anyways. back to the books!

French oral went alright. i was slightly panicking right before i had to enter the room though, i seriously thought i was gonna get sick or faint. but then i went in and got my questions and it was okay.
i think i invented some words again though. i'd love to be able to speak French properly again, but it doesn't seem to come as naturally to me as English does. *sigh*
on the same note (the panicking) my mum just e-mailed me a job ad for a librarian in a town near where i live. and it's freaking me out. at first i couldn't be bothered to start looking for a job because it was all still so far away, but now graduation is coming closer and i'm running out of excuses and it's just so scary.
i change my mind about 3 times a day whether i want to study an extra year and do that MA in Journalism, but i'm not sure i'd fit in. people will be so outgoing and assertive and i'm just...not. but then i think about jobs and interviews and CV's and my heart rate is accelerating now just thinking about it. i guess i don't feel ready to be an adult and get a job.
maybe i should see it as just the next step, as an adventure, as the next big part of my life. but it's frightening. i'm not ready for the real world. not sure i ever will be...

i watched HSM3 again last night, and 3 SPN episodes. Fresh Blood is still such a good one. i love the scene when Dean wants to go after Gordon and orders Sam to stay in the hotel room, and then the whole discussion that follows. <3 and the final scene of A Very SPN Christmas is love too.
that reminds me that i really should order the S3 dvd box online, if i want it to be here before my best friend's birthday party. there'd better be Dutch subtitles on there too, like someone said there would be.
well, i should get back to my coffee and my French books. est-ce que vous croyez dans l'efficacité du système du commerce équitable? *sigh* i hate oral exams...

I've just been listening to Simple Plan's new song, and I like ittt. Very much so. Okay, more of the same really, but if you like all their other songs it's not hard to like the new one as well. lol
Where does this come from, I hear you say.? Well, I had a little SP obsession last year, then I kinda forgot about them cos they toured and didn't release any new songs... But I saw them on yesterday, in that Olsen twins film, New York Minute, and I just listened to them on the train this morning, and now I found their new song, and that's how it happened, haha. :p Lots of useless info for you there. But yes. New York Minute. Not as shite as you'd think, Jared Padalecki turned out to play a pretty big part, plus SP, and the plot wasn't THAT awful, so I was happy. Film addict, me.
I also took the time to check out SP's MySpace profile, and HELLO Pierre! What happened to his hair? Different and it'll take some time get used to it but it looks niiiice. <3 I want them to come to Belgium again. I remember that festival 2 years ago, Werchter... It was still kinda early, not even noon yet, no-one around me seemed to know them, and I was practically the only person near the front singing along and jumping and trying to get their attention... Pierre waved at me a couple of times. He must have thought, "Hey we have a fan in Belgium!" ;) My brother was embarrassed cos I was so enthousiastic about seeing them, haha. Fun times!
Anyways. Not much has happened recently. Okay something HUGE happened last Tuesday (okay...not that huge *re*) but it still makes me smile to myself. I went out with Ben, a guy I know from the internet, and I actually had a great time. We ended up kissing quite a lot, which seemed to happen out of nowhere. I seriously still don't get how we got from talking and watching football on tv in the café and commenting on it, to full on snogging. Ohwell. Not complaining. He is actually a great kisser. And he instantly knew what I liked and what I didn't like, ie so totally completely different from my boyfriend last year, who still managed to annoy me by being an ignorant fool after 6 months. Now I've experienced this I'm only going for more experienced guys. :p I was a bit confused as to what we are now (friends? more than friends?) but we haven't really talked much since, which doesn't bother me in the slightest, so I'm very very happy we're both thinking the same way here: taking things slowly, just being friends, having a bit of fun. Thank Goodness.
On a totally different note, my guitar's broke!! :o My acoustic one, that is. It has this built-in system so I can plug it into an amp, but somehow that broke. First I thought it was the battery, took me forever to change it, but the whole thing is just...not working anymore. My dad tried to look inside the guitar and apparently there's a wire not connected to something anymore... Or something. LOL. He wants to try and fix it himself but I'll have to losen the strings and I'm scared it'll never sound like before, bahaha. I'm scared he'll ruin my babyyy. I wanted to take it to the store cos they're professionals, but my dad's always like "try to fix it yourself first". Alrighty then. Not that I need to amplify it often, but it's nice to do so sometimes. It sounds better, more ful, somehow.
What else, what else.... Oh yes, my auntie had the awesome idea to have a picture taken of all my grandparents' grandchildren, as a present for Christmas, so that's what we did on Saturday. Moi, my brother, and my cousins Dan and Jimmy all went to the photographers studio and we did this professional photoshoot and MAN THAT WAS FUN! I was so hyper afterwards, I kept going to my mum, 'I wanna be a model!' Loads of eye rolling that day. ;) At one point we had to 'make a tower' as the photographer called, I had to lie down on top of my brother (how dodgy) then my cousins on top of me... Forced smiles all around there. lol. But it was fun, can't wait to see the photos! :D
I finally found the Just My Luck dvd in a shop here! I'd already given up the hope that it would ever appear in the shops here; I thought they weren't gonna release it on dvd, but I found itttt! My mum got me it cos I didn't have any money on me, so I think she's gonna give it to me as a Christmas present now. I wasn't allowed to watch it this weekend, heh.
I'm glad the McFly madness is practically over. One more meet&greet story and I'll die. lol. Okay not really. Romina met them in Sheffield on Saturday. But as she hadn't gotten it through a competition of the ST, it was only a signing for her. She gave them all Belgian beer and chocolate, and Tom kept thanking her for it (bless, the sweetheart <3) and Danny wished her a Happy Christmas. :| The idiot!! LOL. I wasn't as jealous as I thought I was gonna be, I'm just happy for her. Next time she'd better get me a m&g too though! ;)
I should really get some uni work done now... Still 2 hours left till my next lecture, should get some stuff done. But I'm tireddd. REDBULL DO YOUR WORK. :p

Luckily I FINALLY have a good subject to write my bachelor paper on (Anne Enright's What Are You Like?; I'll need to write about Ireland in the '50s and '60s, about twins and their special connection, literary analyses, motives, etc.) Looking forward to actually starting to work on that. Loads of reading to do first though.
Plus I also have to write at article for Popular Literature. It's gonna be the World Wars in children's books for me, quite proud of myself that I came up with that! Still have to read 8 books for that, but it's all easy stuff so I should get it done in 2 or 3 weeks, hopefully!
Anyway, my weekend...
And that's about all I did this weekend, apart from being lazy and watching tv for hours straight. Oh and re-discovering my Hairspray Soundtrack CD. God I love that music. I'm always jumping around my room, singing (or attempting to, more like) along, imagining me in a musical like that. Hey, a girl can dream, right...
I think I deserve some chocolate and a good book now. Oh and McFly. Yes.

Weekend was good. My parents were away all Saturday so when my brother and I spend that much time together without anyone else, we usually like to have big, pointless arguments. It started in the morning when I stumbled down the stairs and he welcomed me in the living room with a casual "OhmyGod! You look horrid. Did you get under a truck last night?" That's exactly the thing you want to hear when you're feeling tired and ill and just wanna go back to bed. NOT. I love him really, but he can really be such pain in the ass. Grr.
I went to the most amazing place on Friday. I'd tell you what it was if I could come up with a decent translataion in English. :p The boekenbeurs, in Antwerp! Alright, it's like a literary event they hold every year, a HUGE hall they fill with books. Old books, new books, childrens books, different languages and just wowww. We ran around there for about 4 hours and I only bought one book, heh. Marian Keyes. Can't remember the title. Haven't started reading yet cos I have so much to do for uni. But it was fun! Especially cos my mate Evi is as big a fan of books as me, we just spazzed over everything. Good times!
We're going shopping in Antwerp again on Friday, and to the cinema! It's good that we're meeting up regularly again cos I miss her. She's as mad as I am, therefore I need to see her from time to time to assure myself that I'm not the only one who's...like this. ;)
I don't know what's wrong with me but I am so tired all the time lately. Even after a long nights sleep, I still can't bring myself to actually get up when that alarm clock goes off. Meh. Asked my mum to get some vitamins or something from the farmacist, so hopefully when I get those it'll get better...
Speaking of sleep and nights, I had the weirdest dream last night! It's been bugging me all day, I keep remembering little bits. Okay, so I was still in high school (I think), and I was going to my friend's house in the morning so we could go to school together. But I was wearing roller skates and a really short denim skirt. (fairly odd already but that wasn't the weird bit yet) Before I get to the door it opens already, and JENSEN ACKLES is standing there and I sort of skate right into his arms... I think he was my friend's brother. What the hell was he doing there?? I haven't watched anything with him in it for months, so I'm trying to come up with a reason as to why he was running around in my head at night, but no... So weird. Then it is kinda the scene from Everwood when Bright (the cool one, for those of you who never watched it) realises he likes Hannah (the biggest geek ever) and my Jensen went 'wow, you got hot!' just like in Everwood and he gropes my bum and I let him (duh. LOL) and then we kiss and ohmygod where did that come from?! LOL Then I woke up and I realised I was too tired and the library could wait till next week so I fell asleep again. Then I dreamt I got a text from my best mate, a really long text, and she had a go at me for being the worst friend and ignoring her and stuff... I woke up feeling really bad cos she sent me some e-mails last week and I still haven't replied and I bet that was just my subconscious trying to warn me in a dream that I should reply before I lose one of the few friends I have left as well.
But anyway. Went shopping this morning, I bought a book, 3 dvd's (Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, A Beautiful Mind, and The Prince and Me) and new nailpolish (of the glittery blue-greenish kind).
So I'm gonna make myself a cup of tea, do my nails, find some chocolate and watch one of those dvds. Need a warm shower as well, it's freeeeezing outside! Just got back in from a lecture and I couldn't speak cos my mouth was frozen. lol.
Ciao!
