Sweet and tender hooligan

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
And he said that he'd never, never do it again
And of course he won't (oh, not until the next time

Poor old man
He had an "accident" with a three-by-five
But that's OK
Because he wasn't very happy anyway
Poor woman
Strangled in her very own bed as she read
But that's OK
Because she was old and she would have died anyway
DON'T BLAME

Jury, you've heard every word
So before you decide
Would you look into those "Mother me" eyes
I love you for you, my love, you my love
You my love, you my love
Jury, you've heard every word
But before you decide
Would you look into those "Mother me" eyes
I love you for you my love, you my love
I love you just for you, my love
Don't blame

Summer (in the city)

Wat een ongelooflijk heerlijke dag was het vandaag, niks anders gedaan dan genieten in de zon, met het fijnste gezelschap. Dit soort dagen herinneren me eraan dat alle narigheid totaal niet belangrijk is, al het pretentieuze gelul hang ik lekker in de boom. En er niet meer naar omkijken.

Gister was ook al zo fijn, in het park gezeten met fijne mensen en fijne wijn, daarna met Jule naar De wereld draait door geweest, daarna buiten wat gegeten met z'n tweeen. (Buiten! 'S avonds! Het is zover!) Daar kan ik erg blij van worden kan ik je zeggen, van die voorproefjes op de zomer. De parade komt er ook weer aan, Den haag en Amsterdam dit jaar, ik heb er nu al zin in. En Parijs, twee keer sowieso om naar uit te kijken! Langs de seine zitten, naar pop in, truskel en alle andere leuke barren en cafeetjes, samen met m'n lief en ons clubje. Ik laat m'n haar weer lang groeien en ga nog even hard aan school. Daar doe ik het allemaal voor!

Plan.

I made some plans. Vague plans, but they're plans. I want to save up for a trip around the world, fly to Australia, to Fiji, Tokyo, Hong Kong, San Francisco and then New York. It's gonna take forever to realize this, but I really want to do it. It seems like such a dream, just flying around the world and seeing everything, total freedom. I also think i'm not mature whatsoever, it would be a great thing for me to do. I'll learn French in the meantime, finish school. I'm really sick of Amsterdam to be honest, I love my city, I do, but it's a village. I want to see more, lots more. I've never travelled outside of Europe.

I also want to save up for a little tattoo on the inside of my wrist. A small, small one. People tend to make such a big deal of tattoos though. Man, it's only a small little drawing on your body. To me it's just a mark of how I feel right now. I feel good, i'm happy. I don't know what I want yet, I'll have a looooooong think about it.
Right now I will continue this easter sunday afternoon, just reading and lazing about. Duty calls tomorrow.

I'd like

I'd like to be a great writer, and write about the things I love. Like Ewan McEwan. I'd like to be a great musician, and play music about life. Just like Leonard Cohen. I'd like to be a real Parisian, and be an elegant cool cat. Like Audrey Tautou. I'd like to be a great painter, and paint the world in a surreal way. Like Marc Chagall, he's been my favourite painter since I was a little girl. The colours he uses, the way he sees the world is just beautiful to me. It's really inspiring.

First day of spring!

It's the moment i've been waiting for: the first day of spring. This was an amazing day, the sun was shining, you could tell people were happier. I definitely felt very cheerful. First, i went to the gym with my friend Ilja. That was lovely. It may sound weird, but i enjoy going to the gym alot. Especially afterwards, at times it feels like going through hell though. After that we had lunch and sat in de sun. Sitting by the water, just enjoying the sunshine and having fun.
Oh, and i'm going to Paris again with Julien, in May! I couldn't be more excited. I love that city, i love my friends there. Life is good, school is good, everything is good. One thing i miss, is reading. I really need to read more books, but I don't make time for it. I will, I want to read Catcher In The Rye. And I want a diana F+.
But most of all, i want the sun to keep on shining, please.

Spring A Ling

YES. I can feel it in the air. The sun is shining consistantly and that makes me happy. I'm making loads of pictures again, I feel like I can do anything.
I went to see Girls at paradiso on sunday, I expected so much of them but they kind of dissapointed me. I still like them, alot, but it wasn't very spectacular. I could even say they were a bit dull. I'm spending this week at a house in De Jordaan though, Julien's watching over a house and a cat of his mum's friend. The location is perfect.

Beach House playing Paradiso on February 23rd. They were amazing.

Paris, Je T'aime.

Ok, what I was saying before, so very true. Wow, what an inspiration that city is. I keep on discovering that over and over again. The weather was great too, I got to know new people who were really nice and i bought a really cool book. Facehunters' made a book, the styleblogger. It's so inspirational! Wouldn't that be the greatest job ever? Just travel all over the world, look around and talk to beautiful, interesting people and translate that to pictures. But Paris. I feel so much at home there, like I was born to live there. Only thing is that i don't speak french very great. Small downside, haha. It was especially great to see my dear friends again at woodhaven. I really admire all of them, i kind of envy them at times. Standing on their own feet living the life that seems hard, but free. I know i have absolutely nothing to complain about, but still I feel like that is the kind of life i would like to live soon. I've been thinking about this for over a year now, and i seriously consider moving there for a year, in about a year. What's holding me back? Nothing actually. Not what school's concerned. I can take one, or a hundred years off and then go back to second year. I mean, i'm still so young! And there are people who are sixty attending my school. I'm just saying. Only thing is that i would want to take Julien with me. That would be the best. But one thing at a time, i seem to race into time and wanting to manage everything at the same time. First just finish first year of college, have fun and then see. Pictures will be up soon!





This is out of Facehunter's book. Amazing.
