Last year my friend and me set loads of sparklers on fire. Of course we needed to top that last fire, so we decided to attach the sparklers to something this year. The thing turned out to be a toy police car, mostly because it was only 2 euros. Afterwards ...

Today I quite unexpectedly heard that tomorrow is the last day I will be working at IBM. I was supposed to have a spot there until February, but the work coming in has dramatically decreased, forcing them to keep only a few freelance translators, and I'm not among them. There ...

A number of things have happened the last days, so I thought I should recap.
I turned in my OV-jaarkaart (free traveling for students) because I had no more right to it (you can get it for 7 years, mine are over). I hate having to pay for the train now, ...

It's my 25th birthday today, so I figured I should give an update.
Birthdays always make me think of how old I really feel. I can't actually call myself a girl anymore (though I still do), but I'm not exactly a grownup either. At this point I'm sortof in between ...

My friend Bram and me have been planning to move for a while now. Not like moving in with each other, just in the same area if that's possible. As soon as I get a stable income we can put such plans into action, and since that won't take too ...

Whenever I want to completely get lost in dreams, Dead Can Dance is very nice music to play. This is one of my favourite songs (although there are other jewels too).
