12/17/09


The longest day ever still had some room for funny pictures. Let's all be happy, sad, angry and SUPER happy! Haha, I had trouble not laughing with the angry one. Leaving for the hotel near the airport tonight and then catching a super early flight tomorrow morning! I'm looking forward to it, just feeling a little stressed with all the things that need to be done and having to take care of Sophie (cause she's sick) in the meantime. Going to have breakfast with Daniela first luckily this morning, so that at least I'll start my day fun before all the hard work. I'll bring my laptop so I'll definatly (How's that word spelled? It keeps saying it's not right, but not giving me another option either. - Anyway..) .. post some more later. Wish me luck on not going crazy today!

Early December update

Yes, I will make another blog post this soon, just because I can!

So.. I made another video blog thing that I am loading onto YouTube right now and I'll post the link right under here when it's done. Completely uncut so you'll notice me trying to tell you about my vacation again, and then realizing I already told you, but whatever.. I will not bother trying to upload the video through Blogger, cause the quality is so low. So if you want to see, please click the link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s658g8AWcgc

Besides the stuff that I talk about in the Vlog I can also gladly announce that I am spending an amazing number of hours trying to read through the whole Harry Potter series - again. I believe it is 7 times that I read the first book now? But strangely enough I only got through the whole series once. I figure it's all just a good balance between being a kid, reading Harry Potter and playing ORPG's, and being a responsible grown-up, taking care of the kids. I'm really only 19 after all.
I'm also taking so many pictures every day, that I think I will have to delete half of the stuff by the time I get to my 6 months here. One trip to the beach will every time, again and again, cause reason for 50 or more pictures and I must have about a 100 of the same sort-like pictures taken of the view from the living room. I have loads of pictures of the kids too, but I don't want to put too much of that on the internet.

What else? Nothing really..
Oh yes! I'm spending an insane time writing stupid Christmas cards!! No, I don't think they're actually stupid. I like writing them, but it just takes me about one and a half hour to write just 5 cards. Some cards are in English, some in Dutch. Sorry, I just really can't pass up an opportunity to talk/write English, I love it so much. I think someone up there must have made a mistake letting me be born in a country where they don't speak English, obviously wasn't supposed to be.

The Magical World of Twitter

Hi everyone! Thanks for the positive feedbacks on my videoblog. I just wanted to make a quick post today to tell you about Twitter and a way that you can text me (sort of) and it doesn't cost any money.

So my Twitter is http://twitter.com/AnnikaInAmerica. If you sign up for an account and I subscribe to you, you can put in a message on your computer on Twitter, and I will get that message right away send to my cellphone in America. So no matter where I am, I'll get your message, and it doesn't cost me or you anything, because the text service in America is free. Also I can, through text, send you a message back that you can then read again on your Twitter. Please feel free to stalk me whenever, I love getting messages from people at home :).

Also I signed up for this new thing called Dailybooth, and my Dailybooth ishttp://dailybooth.com/AnnikaInAmerica. I'll post pictures on there as well as just on Hyves. Haha, being in America it's hard to not get sucked in to all this online stuff. Facebook, Twitter, Dailybooth..

Anyways, posting this so that I can stay better connected for those who are interested. This way I can also keep more updated on how you guys are doing (and I want to know that too!).
