Hej all!

I know, I know, it has been ages since my last blog. The last two weeks of my holiday went by way too fast! After I got back from my holiday to Germany, I only had one week left. In that week I hung out with friends a bit, I went back to work again and just tried to enjoy the last days to the fullest! And then, before you know it you're back in school again. It's my final year and I'm happy and at the same time unhappy about that. Happy, because this means that after this year I'm finally done with high school and I can go and do whatever education I want. I'm also a bit unhappy about it, because I'm definitely NOT looking forward for my exams. I don't have to worry about that yet though, so for now it's all good!

In our final year we have to do a so called graduation essay, which you have to work on through out the year. You can pick your own topic though and me and my friend picked the loss of memory among elderly people. You have to spend 80 hours on it, which is quite a lot, but I'm just happy you can do it about something you're interested in. Right away, on the first day back at school, we started on our essay and we've been working on it quite some hours already this week. I think all the teachers think it's important that we get off to a good start and I guess they're right. You always tend to put everything off until the last minute, and with this that's just not an option. So that means no easy start this year, and right away a lot of work.

Well the mean reason for this blog was actually something else. Exactly today, one year ago I joined this awesome site. Yes people, it's my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

I must say the year has gone by pretty fast! I've met so many AWESOME people on here, and for that I'm very thankful. When I joined this site I never thought something like that would happen, but it has. I enjoy coming here to post blogs, in which I can share my experiences, vend my emotions, and chat with all of you of course. The fact that I have a such a place, where you can be just your own self, is something of great value for me. I love talking about all the shows I watch and so much more. So thanks you guys for making this such an awesome place to be!

An appropiate poem:

It has been quite some time as well since the last round of my game and now I'm finally going to put up a new one! Oke, so here it is:

This show was first turned down by a certain network and later on it was considered as a possible 10-part mini-series. A year later the network had a change of heart and backed the production. What show am I talking about?

All the chances are wide open for everyone! Good luck guessing!

Here's the score we have so far:

David - 1 point

Leo - 1 point

Hayley - 1 point

And then we have this week's quote:

Elaine Connelly: He... what? He infected you with life?
Old Paul Edgecomb: That's as good a word as any. He infected us both, didn't he, Mr. Jingles? With life. I'm a hundred and eight years old, Elaine. I was forty-four the year that John Coffey walked the Green Mile. You mustn't blame John. He couldn't have what happened to him... he was just a force of nature. Oh I've lived to see some amazing things Elly. Another century come to past, but I've... I've had to see my friends and loved ones die off through the years... Hal and Melinda... Brutus Howell... my wife... my boy. And you Elaine... you'll die too, and my curse is knowing that I'll be there to see it. It's my torment you see; it's my punishment, for letting John Coffey ride the lightning; for killing a miracle of God. You'll be gone like all the others. I'll have to stay. I'll die eventually, that I'm sure. I have no illusions of immortality, but I will await your death... long before death finds me. In truth, I wish for it already.

- The Green Mile

I watched this movie somewhere on my holiday and I must say this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I heard a lot about it already, but never got to the part of actually seeing it. Well on my holiday I had the time to do so and I enjoyed every minute of it. I also read the book and I must say they did a tremendous job turning it into a movie. On top of the wonderful story, the acting is amazing as well.

And not to forget this week's joke/funny story:

A tough looking biker had been in the biker bar for quite some time when he finally decided it was time, once again to hit the road. He stepped through the front door of the bar and instantly realized that his bike had vanished from the spot he had parked it.

"All right" he said loudly, coming back into the busy biker bar "I'm going to have a shot of whisky and if my hog isn't back up front by the time I'm done, what happened in Detroit will happen here too!"

With that many of the bikers ran out of the bar and within moments one came back to tell the tough biker that his hog was now parked in front of the bar for him. When the tough guy started to leave the bartender asked him.

"Pardon me, stranger, but what happened in Detroit?" The tough biker replied casually: "I had to walk back to my hotel!"

That was it again! I hope you all enjoyed it!

Enjoy the last day of your weekend and have a great week!

*huge hugs*

Stace!!

*waves back more frantically*
Congrats on being first buddy! *hands Stacey a chocolate chip cookie*
No buddy I didn't mention it on my last blog, but I just thought since it has been three weeks already I shouldn't post it on my blog anymore, because it's a bit old news now!
But I already told you all about my meet with Chrissy, so you're all set!

I'm glad you like my banner and header buddy! I just found this pic and thought it was really pretty, so there you go! And well I don't have to explain the header I think... Haha yes I definitely know what would be your choice! You make that all too clear every chance you get!
Posted Aug 25, 2008 10:35 am PT
I totally LOVE it as well! It's like the perfect combination: great humor and smocking hot! And I think the Jensen fever is an easy one to catch! Don't mind it though!

I know, I'll have a blast! Haha luckily I'm not the only though, that's a comfort! Good luck to you buddy! Well glad to hear you think it's interesting! Obviously I think so too! And I'll definitely let you know how everything goes!
I don't want you getting too curious over there!

Haha well I think it might have been one of those moments... I almost forget it myself, but I thought about it just in time and I thought it would be a nice surprise for you!
Posted Aug 25, 2008 10:40 am PT
Thanks so much buddy!

Lief vir jou as well buddy!

Well I didn't cry actually, but I was close! It was really a touching movie, so beautiful. Haha yes buddy I'm definitely going to watch it for all the OBVIOUS reasons! I should better put a drool bucket next to the tv when I go watch it!

I hope you had a good night sleep buddy!
Thanks for the awesome chat on msn and spamming my blog!
Lief vir jou!

*massive hugs*

Hej Elwingda!

Thanks! Well glad to hear you like the subject. And you're right though, it's nice to have something that will keep you a bit occupied until the exams, so you don't have to much time to worry about them.

Thanks! You have a great week!
Posted Aug 25, 2008 10:54 am PT
Hej Ana!

Yep only one more year to go! I'm definitely looking forward to the moment I'm done with high school! Internet friends ARE awesome! I'm so happy I met you all out here!
I'm sure the final year will fly by! Well I try not to worry too much, but I'm kind of like you with these kind of things: near the end I'm totally stressed out about it! I know that's not the way to go, but that's just the way it works for me...

Thanks so much for the vote of confidence buddy!

Hej Nats buddy!

I know, I know... :p
Thanks so much buddy! This definitely is an awesome place! You can just be yourself, which is very important of course! Ahh! Well right back at you buddy! You've been an awesome friend on here buddy!
I'm glad you liked it! I thought it was quite fitting!

Yes I guess I've been quite busy the last week! That didn't help with finding the time to post a new blog either! And yes it definitely flies by! It seems only like three years ago when I started high school and now six years have passed already!
Posted Aug 25, 2008 11:01 am PT
Thanks so much for the vote of confidence buddy! That really means a lot to me!

Yes I'm quite happy they already sceduled some hours for us to work on it in the first week. Gives you the opportunity to make a good start! Haha yes one good week, I'm not planning on leaving my work until the last week though!

It seems like most people think it's quite interesting! Happy to hear that!
Thanks so much buddy!

YEAH BUDDY!!! You guessed it! Congrats buddy, now you're on the score-board as well!
Posted Aug 25, 2008 11:07 am PT
It is definitely an amazing movie! I didn't cry actually, but I was close!
I think I'm going to watch it many times more, just trying not to watch it too often! And yes it based on a novel by Steven King. I read it after I saw the movie and it was great as well!

Glad you liked the joke buddy!
And yes I did have a good weekend! It went by a bit too fast, but oke... How was yours?
Miss you as well buddy!

*big swimmingpool hugs*
No idea where that came from... Haha well what's not to like about it? I think that's my answer as well!
Posted Aug 25, 2008 11:16 am PT
Hej buddy, by the way, where are your colour comments?
Posted Aug 25, 2008 11:18 am PT
Hej David!

Haha yes it was about time I posted a new blog! Well I'm definitely not looking forward to doing my exams either, but I just try not to think about it yet!

Thanks! And yes a year always goes by fast, but it definitely was a lot of fun!

Haha well better you forget you had a point, then the other way around! That would be a dissapointment! The answer is Prison Break actually. Another chance next week, I'm sure you'll get the answer again then!

Yes, it definitely is an amazing movie! One of the best! Have a great week as well!
Posted Aug 25, 2008 11:23 am PT

This graduation essay sounds like a lot of work. Good luck on that.

Don't worry too much about the exams, ok buddy? You still have a lot of time to prepare left and I'm sure you'll do great.

Posted Aug 27, 2008 8:57 am PT
Has the show you're searching for already been guessed?

That's a great joke.

Not so happy to hear about the sucky weekend though! I can't believe your camera got stolen! How did that happen?

*MASSIVE miss you and sorry about the camera hugs*
