Sinds As The World Spunks ermee ophield, is het leven een stukje leger geworden. Wat moet nu onze dagen vullen, zonder Gwen en Wieger die volkomen nutteloze maar hilarische filmpjes maken?
Ik heb het antwoord:
Natalie Tran.
Ik ben bezig ál haar youtubefilmpjes achter elkaar te bekijken - en geloof me, dat zijn er veel - en zij is zó de nieuwe Gwen. Maar dan Australisch.

a total wtf situation
**UPDATE** : I just found out that one of my favourite bloggers has put on a piece about site statistics as well. That is so... awesome. It's like we have a connection. [insert crazy laugh]
So, I've mentioned before that I have this thing called Statcounter on my blog which keeps track of how many people visit your site and where they come from and how long they visit your site and what they Googled to end up on your site - just not who they are (yes. They're that cruel). So that's a great thing to do when you're bored, which I am. And two things were utterly strange:
1. Someone visited my site 45 times. ON ONE DAY. How do you even manage that? I'm so scared. Also, there was a person who was on my site for three and a half hours. What do you do on my blog for three and a half hours? Do you read every single entry from the past four months? Do you gaze at pictures for an hour? What were you doing? It's flattering, really, but it's also pretty weird.*
2. A certain friend of mine is being Googled like, several times a month. After which they end up on my blog, because he was in one of my entries - and no, I'm not gonna say who, I'll let you smartasses figure it out - and so they end up here. I'm quite (but not entirely) certain he just Googles himself several times a month, though.**
* Okay, so it's not weird at all. I get it. I am a marvelous creature you just can't stop staring at. And I love you for it. Kisses.
** Sorry sorry sorry to that person. I really didn't mean that you're a self-absorbed person.***
*** GHA. I totally did.

remotely pretty
I was going to write something extremely smart and funny to show I don´t care everyone´s away and I´m still here, but somehow it didn´t work out, so I wrote up my thoughts for the last 15 minutes instead:
19.45
God, I miss everyone. What are they up to right now? Probably looking interesting on foreign train stations.
19.46
They should totally turn my life into a musical. With songs like ‘They Prefer The East Block Over Me’ and ‘My Sims Are My Only Friends’, and a lovely uptemo dance number called ‘I’m Totally Dancing To Britney Spears Right Now’. Yeah, that should become a classic.
19.48
My Britney Spears dance is pretty good. Maybe I should record it with my webcam and put it on YouTube and get hundreds of comments and LOADS of admirers and then I wouldn’t need my friends any more. Who needs friends who go to Eastern Europe anyway. Phah.
19.51
My Britney moves looked way better in the mirror than they do on camera. Do just have a very, very confused sense of sight which turns everything I see in the mirror in reverse, like when I see something ugly in the mirror I see it as pretty, and when I see something completely cool, I think it’s just crap? Yeah, that’d explain a lot. Like why people never seem to think that I’m pretty, while I see a darrrrn pretty face in that mirror, yo.
19. 52
I didn’t mean that. I’m remotely pretty, but not darrrrn-like.
19.54
I wish I weighed more, so I could eat more chocolate.
19.55
You know what pisses me off? Not having had enough money to go on exchange to Czech, so that now my entire social life is ruined because everyone is like, banging Czech boys out there and I’m sitting alone behind a laptop (ONE THAT’S NOT EVEN MINE. SEE? I’M THAT POOR.) and eating my weight in chocolate. That’s 55 kilos of bloody chocolate I’m talking about. And at the same time, I don’t have enough money to go to ANOTHER Eastblock country to keep an eye on my boyfriend while he’s at a bloody great festival in bloody Hungary, with bloody model-like Hungarian girls and pints of beer for bloody two euros. And I would totally bloody say ‘bloody’ that many times if I actually spoke English in real life. Which I don’t. I’m that bloody uncool.
20.00
Obviously I’m joking. I’m very cool. I am one cool person.
20.03
I might as well put the Britney video up. I don't care if I look like an idiot. Honestly, I'm starting to get used to looking like an idiot. 'Snot as bad as you think.
20.05
I was lying, it is as bad as you think. The word Hungary has made me hungry (word joke! Ahahaha! Ha!). I'm going to get some more chocolate.

times of luxury
So, somehow everyone's away this week except for me and a few other pitiful creatures, but the good thing is that I've borrowed my boyfriend's laptop (he's away to the Sziget festival) for the week, and it's like, the fastest laptop I've ever come across, which combined with our superspeed-internet promises a lot of time going to be spent on the Internet the coming week. Which is a good thing for this blog, of course.
Yeah, that's how surprised I was when I found out. And I immediately started doing what every sane person in this situation would do: started making goofy photos of myself.
So, I found out this laptop even has a pretty good webcam:

Which is exactly what you'd do in this situation, right? Anyhoodle, I decided this'd be the perfect opportunity to show you guys my new necklace-invention without doing tricky stuff with cameras and so:
It's like, a retro car! But on a necklace! Isn't that brilliant? No? Whatever. It made me laugh. Have a nice day.

back and back again
I'm back again! And I've become very tan in just a few days, long live the beach!
I've just found this YouTube vid of Regina Spektor, and I'm a complete fan in just a few minutes. Halfway the performance, she stops because someone in the audience is sick, how utterly cute is that? And the song is, of course, gorgeous.

goodbye again
I'm going away for a week with my boyfriend and his family, and I'm quite sure we don't have Internet there, so I'm going to have to say goodbye again. I'll report back on Friday!

Going clubbing is always a good excuse to try over-the-top makeup that you'd normally never wear. So yesterday, I tried to copy Shelley's eye makeup (here) and found out that when wearing thick layers of mascara, I in fact have HUGE lower eyelashes:
Needless to say, the night was a huge succes.
p.s. if you're interested: I wore my new high-waisted polka dot shorts with bare legs and a tube top - for I knew the club I'd be going to would be very warm - combined with my super-high heels and a black headband. Someone commented that I looked like a 50s whore. I told her that was exactly what I was going for.
