Day one. Introduce yourself.

Okay people let’s do this!

(To illustrate how short my legs are, I decided to throw this picture into the mix. Yes, the legs with the red socks on are mine. No, I am not kidding.)  

My name is Marieke Brock and I’m going to start at the beginning. I was born 8 September 1993 and I’m the eldest of my siblings. Back then we lived on an island outside of The Netherlands, called Terschelling, so I was born on the main land. My mom is from the island, so basically all my family on my mother’s side still lives there. My dad is from the south in The Netherlands, so most of my family on his side lives there. I’ve always loved the contrast of my mom’s farmer-ish family and my dad’s city-ish family.

I grew up in a row house, with a dog, a cat, various fish, rabbits and guinea pigs. We had an ultra cool hill behind our house, and part of in was in our garden. On the hill lived an old scary lady and we were the only people who had part of the hill in our garden, so that was like ‘’the big thing’’ when friends came over :P We had a ‘’hillhouse’’ and we would climb up en down all the time. In 1995 I got a little brother, who is called Piet, and then in 2000, I got an sister called Femke.

In the spring of 2004 we emigrated. I know. Life changing. To NORWAY. I KNOW. But it wasn’t that bad : )

My parents basically got sick of their jobs (Or something like that) and since my mom went a year to school in Norway back in the 1800's, they decided to try Scandinavia. There are probably a lot more details, but in my memory they decided to move and BAM we moved. As said, it was life changing.

We moved to Lavik, a little village next to the Sognefjord the second longest fjord in the world. My parents bought a hotel, renamed it Lavik Fjord Hotell and now, after almost 7 years we still own it. At the time we just kinda moved in, so we lived in fact IN the hotel, but now everything is updated and rebuild, and now it is more like an house on top of a hotel. But it’s still a hotel. People ask me if that is weird, to live in a hotel and to always have your parents around. It’s not weird, it’s funny, and it’s never boring. Lavik is seriously tiny, but at home there is always something going on, whether it are crazy guests, my parents flipping out in the kitchen and then being all nice towards the guests or the chef running down to the quay because my brother CAUGHT AN FISH AND WE NEED A KNIIIIFEEEEE! (That seriously happened.)

Nowadays I live in Førde with two friends aaaand I go to school. My life is pretty normal and boring and awesome. I do my homework, I go to the gym, I hang out with friends, I spend too much time on the computer :P I really like to read and watch movies, but recently I don’t seem to have the time anymore. I am however addicted to a few series and watch them online. Lately all my spare time has gone up in finding out ways to let Darren Criss know that I am marrying him. I also like to bake and stuff, and that is not even only because I like to eat things with chocolate. I really think baking is fun. I love you, Darren Criss. So basically I am a normal teen. Seriously.

I could have written about two more pages about myself, but I won’t because I have to make myself a sandwich. If Darren were my husband I could have made HIM a sandwich.

END OF DAY ONE.

(Please excuse my horrible paintskills, but it is so much fun!)
