Day 7: Your favorite household chore.

Google-ing. Don’t laugh. In our household whenever there is some kind of fight about facts or rules or types of cheese or something, I am the one who googles it. I’m a good googler. Last week, when my giant brother was groaning on the sofa, my dad was asking me to dig up songs from his childhood. The early 70’s. And he did not know names, or artists, he just knew parts of the lyrics. Or even just how the singer-person looked. I looked for this... horror of a song for like 3 minutes. I KNOW.

Example of a Brock family night:

‘’Didn’t that guy play in that Disney movie?’’ (That’s my mom.)

‘’No way, he was younger.’’ (That’s my little sister.)

‘’I think it’s him’’

‘’Ssshhs, they are going to sing now.’’ (My dad.)

‘’I really don’t think so...’’

‘’Sure?’’

‘’Well, I saw that movie like 8 times, and he is not in it.’’ (Little sister knows her Disney movies. Like, for real.)

‘’You are WRONG!’’

‘’Ow shut up already! MARIEKE!?’’ (That’s my brother)

‘’I’m on it... Almost there... YEAH, it is not him. He is called Andy Zachilitazuakni-something, he is 23, is married to his wife and the dude has played in... ONE movie. Very successful. The colour television goes to Femke!’’

‘’Bam, take that motha!’’ (Yeah, she never says that. But I like the sound of it though.)

Day six: Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over

6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over.

RELIGION! I’ve always really liked learning about other religions, because, you know, religion is a big part of people’s identity and culture, and I don’t want to be the one who goes ‘’Allah who?’’ I’m a true atheist myself, but still like to learn about people’s beliefs, even if I think they are...stupid. :) The biggest wars are fought over religion and I think that having some kind of clue really helps with understanding the problems we all struggle with. What I also liked about the subject is the fact that even though you never do your homework or read for a test, you can still always answer the questions in some way. We all know more than we think, because we save all the little facts we hear and see in the news. So according to me it is almost impossible to fail.

A lot of my former classmates don’t agree though, but I suspect that had to do with the teacher.

About me being an atheist: I just don’t buy it people. Someone up there? No way. Mystic forces? Yeah right. Following the rules of some book, roll of paper, prophet or son of God? Bitches please, don’t insult my intelligence. I respect everyone’s views, but sometimes I feel that if you ask questions, everyone thinks you are being ‘’rude’’. Dude, that’s not rude, that’s just not swallowing whatever your parents have been telling you, and their parents before them. I at least TRY to think for myself, and I’m proud of being like that, religion-wise. I haven’t got a clue about anything else.

Day five: A habit you find disgusting.

To quote my schoolmate Ida:

sjjkdf

fgjkdfkjg

That’s that.

 

 

As requested, my new hair, me and Heidi at yesterday’s festivities. I guess the purple glow is kinda gone, and I’m getting used to the darkness of it, and I must say that I am truly curious about the phases of colour it will go through to get back to my own light brown hue.

5. A habit you find disgusting.

Nowadays I’d actually say biting nails, but I used to be a nail biter, so I guess that would make me a hypocrite... I never bit them to the bone though, and when I see people with like little, ugly nails I get the shivers, because I know how far they must have bitten them.

But what I find really disgusting is spitting. I really don’t get it, it is such a weird habit. Why would you spit? Saliva is in your mouth for a reason. To help you digest your food or whatever, and you know what? You can actually swallow it! YEAH! So no need for a public gurgle-n-spit. Especially not if it’s summer and hot outside, and I want to walk around barefoot, and all I can think about is those huge, white blobs of your spit everywhere. A-hole.

Day four: A hobby you ''don't get''

Superpretty song is superpretty. (And old, 10 years!)

You know how when you have to go to school, do your homework, go to the hair dressers, colour your hair and maybe even manage to catch a yoga class, you just really don’t feel like writing stuff? That’s what happened yesterday. Uhuh. Btw, I paid my friggin ass off at the hair dressers (Never going back there again.), my hair came out dark brown with a kind of PURPLE shine and the people at yoga did their stretching without me. I’ve got Zumba in a couple of hours though. Apparently there is a new routine. I’m mentally preparing myself for embarrassment and gym-status-suicide.

4. A hobby you “don’t get”

Collecting things. Like coins. Or stamps. Toe-nails. That sort of stuff. I don’t think that it is stupid or anything I just don’t understand why people want ginourmous amounts of worthless things. I can understand it when they are actually worth something, because then you can sell it someday and buy yourself a pool, but things like hair and toenails, that’s just... weird.

Or, you know spotting things. Like trains and birds. ‘’Ow, there is another young gold-muffin-top sparrow, that is such an unusual sighting at this time of the year! Let’s put a dot in my 5cm thick book. This is my 7th sighting this year, only 7264 to go! And it’s ONLY NOVEMBER, buddy!’’ Seriously?



Day three: A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about

Okay, so I’ve mentioned this before and I’m not afraid to mention it again, but I am celebrity-addicted. It is true, but it’s starting to fade away though, because I’ve decided to focus on school... and stuff.... : (

But I can always hate on someone, so of the top of my head.

Paris Hilton. Why is she even FAMOUS? Because of her daddy’s money, that’s why. And that is just sad.

Again, the rap ‘’stars.’’ I’m sorry, but I just DON’T LIKE THEM. They are stupid and uninteresting. All they do is get shot and stuff, go to jail and stuff, have babies with strippers and stuff, steal eachothers jewellery and stuff.

Not to be disrespectful or anything, but you know, dead celebrities.

And now I’m going to sleep.

Day two: A selection of musical artists you do not care for

I'm on my bro's computer and that means... Webcampictures!!!

Yeah drink in my webcam-sexiness baby, cause my own webcam has been protesting for a few years now and I've given up on him.

Yaaay, it’s like day two, and I already love this challenge! So FUN to hate on stuff! Maybe I should be hating more in RL, to release some of it you know.

Let’s start, shall we? This is actually quite difficult because I listen to almost every genre out there...

The whole Cyrus family. Just... all of them. Ugh.

Snoop Dogg or any other ‘’rap artist’’ really. I’ve been shouting for a few years now that rapping is NOT a talent, anyone with a little bit of rhythm in their bones can rap, it just talking fast on a beat. It WRITING the rap that is the real talent. (I know that is a very unpopular opinion, but whatever.)

John Mayer. I really don’t know what it is, but I don’t like his face, I don’t like his voice and I don’t have any songs of him on my I-pod. Never had, honestly. He’s just uninteresting to me. Unnecessary to include in my life. Like hair extensions or not-seedless grapes.

Kid Rock. Because he looks like a major douche, was once married to Pamela Anderson and raped Warren Zevon’s brilliant Werewolves of London a few years back. Asshole.

The Pussycat Dolls. No comment.

Day un: A selection of television programs you do not care for

Home and Away

Yeah, so, I used to have a roommate who watched this series every day, and, I don’t like it. Not that it was a problem to watch it once in a while, you know, while eating or something, but to follow it? No thanks. I watch a lot of series, a lot of different ones too, but soap series are just silly. They are all sleeping with each other even though most of them are related, and just when you think that one awful bitch died, she comes back as either a ghost or she somehow managed to dig her way back up from the grave. People do also constantly get shot, pregnant and drunk, or all of them at the same time and then die or marry their stepsister’s brother’s daughter/niece or something.

True Blood

Okay, so I watched the first series and kind of liked it, but then I found out that that weird, queasy feeling I got in my stomach each time I saw blood on the show was not really a positive, and that I didn’t like it. It’s to bloody, it’s to SEX-in-your-face and it’s to vampire-y. I do understand why people like it though, I mean, I really liked watching the first series, but it is just too over the top for me. Plus, I’m not a fan of the southern accents, sorry y’all.

The Hills, The Kardashians, everything Tori Spelling, The City, Jersey Shore, Jersey Babes, Brooke Knows Best...

Everything that is friggin’ SCRIPTED and PLANNED and TOTALLY FAKE, involving orange sluts and guys with make-up or botox officially sucks, and really doesn’t deserve my precious time that I can better use, like, studying or working out or something boring. But I still watch it. You know why? Because it is so funny. Unbelievable. I don’t know how they do that over there in the US, but they DO make entertaining bullshit.

Negative, grumpy, the-world-sucks challenge!

Another challenge! I’m sorry, I just love these things and especially this one... It’s a negative, grumpy, the-world-sucks one!

(Btw, I got my first French homework, it was for tomorrow and I totally did ALL OF IT!)

Back to school! And reasonable sleeping hours!

Hey people! Here this is me being realistic: My reader statistics were going through the roof this spring, but then the summer started, the sun started shining, I wrote less, and people stopped stopping by. Now I’m starting back up, but I don’t expect the great stats from before the summer. And it was nice though, knowing that people actually read the stuff you put out there on the interwebs, even though they’re not commenting.

So I went on this big vacation this summer, with my friend Robin. It was absolutely amazing! We saw 14 cities, a gazillion castles, at least 20 museums and a ton of old pretty buildings. We met some crazy backpackers, including a terrible transvestite (He sucked at being a woman. Seriously.), a slow-talking Canadian who ignored my friend , a big gang of French rugbyplayers, Scottish Morna with the cool name, a talkative Dutch girl and a (also!) Canadian female gang with a butch lesbian leader who seemed to follow us EVERYWHERE. I ate some pretty gross stuff, like chocolate-mint-dessert-mousse and some pretty damn delicious stuff, like a deep-fried Mars-bar! (A must-try!) But, you know, once my ultracool orange memorystick has returned from the Netherlands, with Robin’s fancy-ass pictures I will make a little wannabe-pro video with her pictures and my own excellent camerawork.

Oooooon another note: School’s started! I love school. I’m a geek but without the good grades and the concentration skills. Tomorrow it is pictureday, and I’m kind of secretly practising my smile in front of the mirror. I’m not that big on the whole ‘’Colgate-smile-school-picture-thing-that-actually-makes-you-look-awesome-and-friendly’’-thing, because I can’t smile in front of a camera. It’s my only big flaw... I blame my parents.

I am however an amazing model as long as I can pose with a fruitymushydrink :)
