Hey Shaffy, while you're in the SF area, try and drive by Half Moon Bay. Back in 2005 we made a stop there... it is a beautiful place.  I myself really enjoyed the sight seeing on that route (you can see the ocean :-) and Big Basin Redwoods State Park is also very nice to walk around and just enjoy the calm and nature that we (Europeans) otherwise don't get to see.
It's just these nice little places that got stuck in my memory :-)

PJ's all the way here too!

My random fact of the day: just got in touch with my aunt whom I haven't seen in over 10 years! (go facebook...)

Het gebeurt wel vaker dat sommigen wel moeten betalen en anderen dan weer niet... heb ook geen idee waarom.
Misschien had je ook nog iets anders besteld?

I adore Surely As The Sun and they should do it again and make it available online too!

Ja, mijn boek is ook gisteren aangekomen. Niets extra moeten betalen.

Het ziet er inderdaad mooi uit, maar het zal wss nog wel even duren eer ik het echt kan lezen.

ik bedoelde natuurlijk vandaag... ben wat in de war deze week ;-)

ik ben morgen vlakbij leuven maar zal om 18u aan tafel zitten... kan er dus niet zijn, maar succes alleszins!

Screedfan, I so know what you mean. I always thought that too until last year in december when I heard one of the christmas songs in a local store (where I've actually been only about 5 times in my whole life!). That was the first time ever I heard a Hanson song in a store!  (Hanson is not that big in Belgium)
And then again last september when I was in NYC for a few days I heard mmmbop in Walgreens. I was all smiles

Something like that happened to me in the first year of high school with my Dutch teacher (my mother tongue).

We had to write an essay about our home town and I just happened to have a lot of info on it and have some talent for writing. It was our very first assignment that year and she couldn't believe I actually wrote it myself. She still gave me an honest grade though cause she had no evidence.
Luckely in the weeks/months after that she reconsidered because of my writing in class (which I only could have done myself of course), she told my parents during a parent teacher meeting.

So I'm sure your English teacher will also see the truth after some more classes/essays.

Ik ben deze morgen naar het werk gegleden in plaats van gereden. Gelukkig niets geraakt dankzij een slakkengangetje. De strooidiensten hadden de secundaire wegen duidelijk overgeslagen.

Gisteren heb ik er helemaal geen last van gehad op de vastgevroren ruitenwissers na en zondag waren we eigenlijk zo goed als alleen op de baan (binnen de gemeente) dus dat viel ook nog mee.

Ik heb besteld in pre-order toen de verzendkosten nog voor iedereen gratis waren (was natuurlijk een fout die ze kort daarna gecorrigeerd hebben, maar ik wie al besteld had, had geluk )

Heb vannacht ook een mailtje gekregen ivm de verzending ervan.

he was on like 6 hours ago or so

he didn't say anything though... guess he was checking his b-day wishes

Cyndi Lauper !

I was a fan of her even before we had ever heard of Hanson. I must have been about 11-12 whereas in '97 I was 13-14.

Also around that time ('96) I was really into Eros Ramazzotti. I still like his music but I've been a bit out of it now... I have my ups and downs with him.

And apparently, I am the first to mention these two names. ha.

the first time ever i'm on when one of you guys is too :-D

woohoo...

happy belated birthday !

haha, ik kwam net op deze karaokesite...

als je op het liedje klikt, kan je op de volgende pagina kiezen voor de coverversie

echt grappig

25 .... 1983 baby :-D

misschien is hij een beetje seniel aan het worden?

Ach ja, dat heb je inderdaad overal wel

Toen ik met school naar Rome ging (in 1998) hebben we ook maar net een pickpocket kunnen tegenhouden en in Parijs enige jaren later ook weer. Beide malen in de metro... Je tas dus goed in 't oog houden.

I also regularly post on a Cyndi Lauper forum and follow some threads on the Chuck Berry forum.

Hazo, da's goed nieuws. Dank je, Jeroen :)

De artiest (= Cyndi Lauper btw) heeft er zeker niets op tegen. Ze houdt zelfs een wedstrijd voor de beste concertfoto's (maar zegt er wel bij te checken of de zaal waar je gaat het toelaat).

super dus!

Een vraagje aan onze noorderburen:

weten jullie toevallig wat de 'policy' van de Melkweg is ivm fotocamera's en zijn ze erg streng?

you're a little early

yeah well... I actually have to leave the house by 7 (and get up at 6.30) but I'm not good at getting up early :-s So I'm in traffic everyday. Except on Fridays when I work closer to home and have less traffic going my direction. So today I got to sleep in till 7.30 woohoo :-(

Oh and yeah I love Nutella! I won't eat any other chocolate spread. I love nuts! :-p lol

waking up at 9?  that is pure luxe to me... I have to be up by 7 at the very latest.
and most of the time I'm still awake at midnight :-s I really am an evening person.

You could also just make sure not have any sweets/junk food in the house.

That way it would be impossible to eat unhealthy things at night anyway. 

That is weird.
I never get up in the middle of the night... I'm way too lazy ;-)

But I would also recommend the water. I am always hungry at work and I don't want to be eating all the time. So I always have my water. That way I finally drink enough (I used to only drink like 3 glasses a day until I was like 17 and started working on that).

Also, if you do eat anyway, try replacing the unhealthy food with healthy stuff like fruit, which is sweet too but at least you'll get some vitamins out of it, or even a carrot or cucumber. 

I second that, PureDedication206.

It always happens when you don't expect and don't want it to.
By bf and I are the perfect example. We had both said we didn't want to be in a relationship for a while. I even said that to someone only a couple hours before we met.
But all of a sudden there it was and I just decided to take my chances anyway. And now almost six years later (at the end of the month) we are still together.

So you never know. Just enjoy your single life while you still can ;-)
