This boy never ceases to make me smile!

Sometimes I wonder if it’s good to be a little selfish every now and then.
I went to a small festival on Saturday. I really enjoyed myself. Discovered some new bands. Nothing major, but most of them were pretty okay. It had been a long time since I last went out to check out random bands and I felt so good.
But while I was having fun, two of my friends were bored as hell. I know they would have gone home, but I was driving and so they had to wait for me. They ended up in the lounge at ten and had to wait until one before I picked them up to go home.
They assured me that it was no problem, but I still felt bad for them. I felt selfish. I like to make other people happy, but that night I was only thinking of me. I’m still trying to figure out if that is a bad thing?

I have no classes until next Wednesday and no plans either. Except for another night out with my ladies on Saturday.
Downside is that all my friends do have classes, so I can’t really just call them to hang out.
Upside is that I have lots of time to work on Vic’s present. I’m really curious what you are going to think about it!
I have been doing little work out everyday for the last couple of days. My knee is very thankful for that =). And I hope to get in shape for the summer.
I had a small Heroes marathon today. I watched four episodes in a row. I plan on another one on Thursday =). And I’ll be watching Dreamgirls tomorrow, curious to see what it’ll be like. I wish the weather would be nice again, so I don’t have to sit inside all day anymore.

And I finally have some things planned on my music agenda again =).
May 6: Luc Steeno. He’s a Dutch singer who makes music… well, for old people mainly. But he’s performing at the Hasselt Regatta and I’ll be there. Hope to make in time for the actual rowing competition and if not, I’ll definitely will be at the after party. I think his performance is going to be hilarious, so much fun.
May 16: Clouseau. Always fun. Last time was in December, so I felt like it was time again =).
October 17: Greenday. My friend decided to wake me up at 8:30 to tell me that they were heading to Belgium. Never seen them live before, but so I’m pretty curious and excited already.
I’m also thinking about going to Pukkelpop again. My last time was five years ago and I would love to do a big festival again. Line-up looks okay (Arctic Monkeys, Snow Patrol, dEUS, N*E*R*D, …) and it has always been a great opportunity to check out new bands.

Random doodling.

This is what you get when you don't keep my attention.

I actually had a boring couple of days. Classes ever morning, none of them interesting. I'm not used to sitting still for long anymore. Good thing it's only one more week.

And thank god there's still such a thing as 'practise makes perfect'. I got to work with three week old lab rats on Tuesday. Playing, weighing and injecting. Mine was a little nervous, pooping all over the place. Can't blame the poor thing, he was bleeding a little after I injected him. Watching a pHd student take blood or dissect a mouse definitely isn't the most fun thing, but it's part of the job...

I might have a new addiction. I switched from chocolate and sweets to smoothies. Healthy and delicious. My favorite so far: orange - mango - pinneapple - banana.

I guided high school seniors around my university today. Answer questions, mostly from parents :).

I can't believe I was in that same spot four years ago, all nervous and curious. It seems like a whole different lifetime. It kind of is...

A little shopping trip afterwards.

I picked up Eclipse. Finished the first chapter when I got home and so far I like it :).

And off course, shopping also means more music: Counting Crows' Recovering The Satellites, Taylor's Swift's Fearless and Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Home alone and blasting Fearless from the radio right now and liking it very much :).

Taylor Swift, you made me smile. Thank you!

Fiction.

I am working on three fanfictions at a time. One of them will hopefully be online this weekend. Two of them have to be finished next month. So far, I am pretty pleased with all of them.

I might do an Alex Gaskarth fiction soon. For Breanna. If I get inspired. We'll see...

I finished New Moon this afternoon. It turned out to be better then expected after all. Once I was through the part where Edward was gone.

Still waiting for Saskia's story.

Sun and friends.

To the opening of a bar on yesterday. Cafe Kaffee. Very nice place. We had fun. Besides airports, cafes and festivals are the best places to peoplewatch!

Getting a tan this afternoon. And now it's suddenly raining, while the sun is still shining. Strange. I think a thunderstorm is coming my way.

Out with the girls tonight. No idea where or what, but I'm sure it'll be fun.

Plans.

After a lot of nagging, I signed my job contract yesterday. 3,5 hours, guiding possible students around the university. Should be fun.

Still no date on the goodbye at my internship place. Classes for me and meetings for them are getting in the way.

Got invited today to spend two days on a bison-ranch. Pretty excited already, even though it's only in May. Horseback riding, Mexican food and good company. This is going to be fun.

Vic, darling.

I will come back to you on your email tomorrow!

I started working on your birthday gift. It's going to be entitled 'Tales of Decaydance'. More on that.. Well, somewhere next month ;).

Watching that great 'I love you' scene with Keira Knightley and Andrew Lincoln in Love actually last night reminded me of this.

One Tree Hill. Peyton shows Lucas how much she loves him.

Love Song - The Cure on the river court.

Epic.

The past week has been kind of hectic. I spend most of my time trying to finish my paper. I did and I like what I made of it. Spending five complete days after the computer while I’d much rather be outside in the sun was worth it after all. But if anybody mentions XPA, DNA repair or estrogen in the next week, I’ll scream.

I still can’t believe my internship is over. I went to say goodbye with two other girls yesterday. We actually made cake. And I got some sweets and an adorable keychain from two co-interns, just because I helped them out.
Ten weeks past so quick.. I’ll miss my co-interns. I’ll miss the light and sun in the laboratories. I’ll miss the hot chocolate. I’ll miss dividing my time between lab work and writing.
I probably have to go back to give a presentation about my work. I don’t like presentations, because I don’t like the attention. But I am looking forward to this one, just because it means I’ll get to go back =).

In between working on my paper, I did find time to visit my cousin’s baby boy. Ties is very different from his big sister, but a total cutie! I’m already looking forward to seeing him again and I hope I don’t have to wait until the babyshower in June.

As I mentioned before, I went to Fashion&Wine on Friday. What a mistake, what a waste of money! The only good thing was that the prosecco tasted great and that the company was great. The food was so so, the shoes that were showed ugly and the host annoying. Definitely a one time thing.

My sister picked up New Moon for me last weekend. I was pretty excited about it; but so far I’m kind of disappointed. I talked to Breanna about it and she warned me that it was going to be boring. The first few chapters I figured she was really wrong. But then Edward disappeared and suddenly she was right. Without his breathtaking kisses and funny little jokes things just get boring. But I peaked somewhere towards the end and he’ll be back. So I’ll keep reading.

My spring break has started yesterday. Well deserved, if I say so myself. Not that much plans. Shopping: shoes, clothes and music. Applying for summer jobs and signing contracts. Finish New Moon. Picking up my sister when she gets back from Italy (yes, I am jealous!). Send a few mails. Hoping my car gets fixed quickly.

Saskia.. Glad to hear you are still alive! The picture was from here. I hope to talk to you soon. A story all for me? You got me all curious! What/who is it going to be about?
