Very well, it is finally time to question the extremes of Dutch anti-social behaviour. 
In Holland people bike everywhere, and if it's too far to bike they take the train. Many people drive, but taking the train is both convenient and a ball of laughs, if you are for example coming back from a Millencolin concert and sitting next to two revolutionary, hilarious mohawked punks, or coming back from a Hives concert and your friend is throwing croissents down the aisles, but anyway, I digress...
So this train thing. Most compartments in the train are dealt up into foursome seats, that is two pairs of seats opposite eachother, very excting when you're in a group of four people. 
However...not so exciting when you're in a group of four people and you realise how bloody ANTI-SOCIAL Dutch train-riders are! Honestly. 
You walk into the compartment, and most people are just taking the train alone, and they all take up a four-seat (whatever u call it) all by themselves. They sit in the corner of the four seats with their bag next to them, and when you walk in with your friends they don't move around to allow you to sit with your friends. Noooo, they have to be dumbasses, and sit alone. 
Why don't people sit next to strangers on the train?? Why do they have to be anti-social and sit by themselves?? I just don't get it. Sitting next to strangers on the train is so much fun!! Like when you sit next to some college guy studying to be a technician, who gets nervous whenever you talk to him. Hehe, that was hilarious. 
But anyway, I'm just curious as to why it's such a big deal. Maybe people just like their privacy. Crazylazies....

This might sound like a really strange observation, especially if you've never noticed it yourself, but just bear with me. 

When I'm lying in bed at night and just before I switch off the light and attempt to go to sleep, if I look at the sky outside (as opposed to the sky inside) it's dark. As you would expect. It's a midnight blue, or an attempt at black, which it never fully achieves because of the city lights. Either way, the sky is dark at night. However, once I turn off the light the sky turns white. Not a wow-did-you-just-fall-in-a-bucket-of-milk kinda white,
but a sort of grey white. A dirty white, yet a beautiful colour all the same. I'm not tripping on acid like a Dutch raver, honestly. When the light is switched off, the sky is a dirty beautiful grey white. Then when the lights back on, suddenly the sky is black again. 

Why is that?? Maybe there's some annoyingly obvious, dull explanation to my phenomenon. I call it my phenomenon because I doubt if many people have noticed it, or stopped to care before they drift off into their carefree REM sleeps. Maybe it's not such a funny observation, or anything particular, but I think it's beautiful. So I look forward to turning off my light at night.

As a (very very) belated follow-up to my last entry I must include the following:
I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT 'SAY HELLO 2 HEAVEN' in the list of most depressing songs!!!! How could I?? Really, an insult to Temple of the Dog, Andrew Wood and all grungers out there...What could be more depressing than a song dedicated to a brilliant man who died all too soon at the lethal needle of heroine. So anyway, I hereby include my PROPER, ultimate, possibly final version of my top five get-me-downs:

1) Say Hello 2 Heaven - Temple of the Dog
2) Man of Golden Words - Mother Love Bone
3) Not Dead - Unified Theory
4) Nutshell - Alice In Chains
5) Call Me a Dog - Temple of the Dog

Though I have rated from most to least (less) depressing, they all score very high on the melancholy list and it's actually very hard to put one above the other. I think, in the end, they can all turn my yellows to blues...
I feel I just have to explain why 'Man of Golden Words' is so high on my list. Although the lyrics to the song aren't very sad, they're really about music and its beauty (right??) but there is that one line in the song, right at the beginning, where Andrew Wood sings: ...'seems I've been living in the temple of the dog'. That line just always fills me with such sorrow, because it makes me think of Temple of the Dog, then why it was made, which of course makes me think of Andrew Wood and his sad death (aren't deaths always sad??). Therefore that song is a real get-me-down.
And, the anguish and sadness in Chris Cornell's voice in Say Hellow 2 Heaven just always gets to me so bad. His voice and the lyrics are what really strikes me hard every time I listen to it.

I really think I have to go listen to some Beach Boys now, listening to these songs have made me uber depressed...

How come it's impossible to turn off a beautiful song even if it's pulling you even further down than you already feel???   Top 5 songs that get to me: 1) Man of Golden Words - Mother Love Bone 2) Not Dead - Unified Theory 3) Nutshell - Alice In Chains 4) Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam 5) Steel Rain - Chris Cornell

Scary experience of the last few days: seeing someone dressed up as a giant hamster in the local supermarket while all I was doing was peacefully buying food for dinner. Unanswerable: Why do people seem to think it will amuse and attract customers if they dress their employees up in costumes??? Why?? Just why, that's all I want to know. Honestly, I just don't understand. And for once I don't have a random crazy theory to explain it either. It's terrifying. It honestly scares the living daylights out of me when I see people dressed up in those costumes, whether it's a giant hamster or a Santa Claus. Seriously, just don't do it. It's not cool. I think I will write an appeal to the mayor. Maybe the prime minister (I think it's a good sign that he looks like Harry Potter). I would write to the Queen, but she has no power anyway. Not the kinda power you need when you want to ban people from walking around in hamster/Bugs Bunny/Santa Claus/Groucho Marx costumes and freaking out innocent passerbys. Maybe it's just me. Maybe not everyone is  afraid of those costumes. I didn't use to be. Yeh, not everyone is. I don't think I will write to the Harry Potter PM. I'm just going to bear my fear in silence.

Greeting, greetings, greetings, So, being the crazy girl I am (muahaha) I struck up a very interesting conversation with a guy at a bar yesterday. I was in the Karrousel (as always, because that is the cool place to be and they always play Pearl Jam...), well actually at this point I was outside because the smoke inside was bothering me and my friends were having a conversation which made me uncomfortable for reasons I will not mention here, and anyway, I got talking to some random dude (called Rick). I have no idea how we got onto the topic but we started talking about Mary, Joseph and the birth of Christ (as you do...). We were wondering what the true story of how Mary got pregnant is. Reiligious people say she was impregnated by God in a mystical, spiritual, oogabooga way (well they don't acutally mention the oogabooga part, but I figure that's important too). However, Rick and I decided that Mary was date raped. I know this sounds very horrible, but just bear with me so I can explain how we came up with this theory (other than cigarette smoke, beer and awesome music affecting our brains...). Now no matter how powerful God is, he cannot just go around impregnating innocent virgins without physical contact, I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. So the most likely explanation is that Mary was out in town that night, you know partying in Jerusalem and whatnot, when she met some lovely guy who went by the name of God. Then, naughty naughty, while Mary wasn't looking, he slipped a pill into her holy water. After that, she didn't remember anything. However, she was pregnant, the next day. How did it happen? Well God obviously took advantage of her intoxicated state! There could be another plausible explanation as to how a VIRGIN was pregnant, but for now I am sticking to this one. So, unanswerable question: if this isn't how it happened, how on earth did Mary get pregnant and give birth to our all Holy Lord without having sex????

When snow melts where does the white go???

I know it sounds stupid, but seriously, where does it go? There's snow on the ground, it's white (unless you live in Holland and it rains all the time and people step all over it and it turns to slush...). it's looks lovely, ladidadida, but then when it melts and it just sorta becomes water, how come all the white colour is gone (for simplicity sake I'm going to count white as a colour)?
That's really strange.....
I'm sure there's some really logical scientific explanation that will make me feel really stupid but it hasn't struck me on the head yet, so I will continue to ponder this interesting question....

So, just a quick question, let's say (hypothetically of course.....) you (as a girl) make out with another girl while you have a boyfriend, is that cheating??   I would think that it is only cheating if you are bi, otherwise it doesn't really count. Though there are people  who are all about morals/ethics/blablabla, you don't cheat on anyone with anyone, it's not right, not proper, etc,etc.....

So all you amazing rockers (and others of course, though I am a bit suspicious of you) out there, I have another completely ridiculous question. It's one which was asked by my sister a few months ago.

If you were made of pizza and you ate your own arm, would you lose weight or gain weight???

I have posed this question to my friends many times since I first heard it. When my sister asked me she stated that it is a question best asked when everyone is drunk because it leaves people going (please excuse my unintelligent language here but I am quoting drunkards...) 'huuhhh?'

i have gotten a few interesting answers, though most people say your would lose weight because you take away more than you gain. A friend of mine (and for the record he was drunk when he gave this answer and therefore I have a lot of respect for him...) said that your weight would stay the same. That's maybe not correct but it certainly was different from the other answers I heard.

So, anyway dare to venture a guess?? Perhaps someone has an idea which is entirely different, just to spice things up a bit?

By the way, please spread this very interesting query, especially to your drunk friends.....

Wow! I found the most amazing show on tv. No kidding. It's that show Braniac on Discovery. You people probably know it. At least you do if you (like the nerd I am) watch Discovery channel....Anyway, it's so perfect for me! It also asks a whole lot of useless questions and then answers them too! How great! The other day they asked things like does a bald man wash his head with shampoo or soap, does a duck's quack have an echo, etc etc.

But...I didn't get to see the answer to the the first question :( So does a bald man wash his head with shampoo or soap??? How very interesting...

OH! and for all those Chris Cornell lovers out there (especially the ones who dig black guys) watch CSI! for those who live in a shack in Greenland thats crime scene investigation. It's amazing, the replica of chris cornell acts in it, but then he's black!! Has anyone ever noticed that?? It's so scary. He's got exactly the same type of eyes....he really is the black version of cornell. Anyway, just thought I would share my knowledge, I myself have now become a loyal fan of the show.....;)

So then of course comes the most important question of all, is it Chris Cornell dyed black with an alias name because he thought the whole singer/actor thing was kind of lame and should be left to J Lo from the bronx on the block in da house, or is it maybe Cornell's twin? It seriously is possible. I read an article on it once. A black dad, a white mum, two twin girls: one black, one white. Granted i read the arcticle in the cosmogirl.....but still! (and just to clear things up I do not read that magazine, no don't shake your head at me! I don't, it's too hypocritical for my liking, all those 'you are beautiful' and then 'how to lose weight fast' contradicting articles....) but anway! I digress!

Ok, so which one is it? Or maybe it's even someone who had surgery to look like Chris Cornell! And then he didn't want to have surgery to the extreme lengths that he would start inviting little boys over for 'sleepovers'.....So people, watch the show or google Gary Dourdan, pull a shocked face because of the likeness, realise I am God for noticing the resemblance before you and then tell me your theory.....

Ok, i got a question: why is it that some of my favourite songs were actually my least favourite when i first heard them? For example, when i first bought the album Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden, the only song i really liked was  Outshined. My least favourite song was Jesus Christ Pose. At the time i couldn't hear the rhythm in the song and it just didn't appeal to me. Now it's possibly my favourite by Soundgarden The CD Badmotorfinger is also my favourite cd by Soundgarden. I listen to it over and over again and it never gets boring. I love Jesus Christ Pose, it's just too good. The lyrics, Chris Cornell's singing (though that's always good) and especially the guitar chords. I suppose some songs you have to listen to over and over again to really appreciate the true beauty of them (that's what I always tell my friends when they don't like the songs I listen to...) Nou ja, I don't know, I guess it might also be a matter of music taste changing. I know that my music taste was different when I first bought Badmotorfinger....ahhh....how long ago that seems....

So, I'm not quite sure what the uanswerable question was in the last journal. Maybe 'who the fuck does he think he is'? I'm not quite sure, I guess it wasn't really important... I have another question now, one I've been trying to solve all day. For some odd reason my speakers of my computer have stopped working. I've tried all those windows help things like the troubleshooting blabla bla but nothing seems to help. I'm so annoyed, all that great music on my computer and I can't listen to it..... Why aren't I one of those computer freaks who can do lots of funky tricks on the computer and slove the problem? I've just resorted to talking to my harddrive, telling it how good it has been over the years and asking it if it could perhaps fix my speakers for me...

Having a new-found culture shock from my trip to Romania and being a little tipsy from too mnay glasses of wine at dinner, i was inspired to write my first entry in a while :)
well, as i so subtley mentioned a couple of sentences ago, i was in romania last week during my autumn holiday. one of the days, i was in a city called sinaia. we (we being my family and i - shock shock horror horror) were walking back from the royal palace, which we had just visited in great length and learned a lot about from our 'english-speaking' tour guide, and of course been fascinated by to the extent of bashing our heads on the venetian mirrors.
yway, to get back to the point of the entry, we were walking down this street with market stalls and souvenir shops. coming around a corner i spotted (and no i was not high and hallucinating) a lion cub. i was shocked but as i came closer i knew that was not mistaking an over-grown cat for a wild animal.
this poor lion cub (meaning tiny and motherless) was tied to a metre long chain which was attached to a pole in the ground. the cub was straining against the chain and weaving back and forth. the stupid boy owner (i guess he was about 15) pushed the lion whenever he moved too much. he would shove the cub with his knees with a great big smirk on his face, the kind only a kid can get when he is doing something other people can't.
i was livid. seriously, PISSED OFF. i wanted to smack his stupid ugly face. i'm glad i'm a coward or i would've done it. Who the FUCK does he think he is that he can keep a wild animal in captivity and treat it like SHIT????!!! Seriously, who the FUCK???? You cannot, cannot, cannot do that. You cannot take an animal, let alone a wild animal, from its mother, chain it to the pavement, treat it like dirt and ask people for money to have their picture taken with it.
I hope that that lion grows up real fast, grows some serious claws and scratches that idiot-child's face out. i'm not kidding. i am generally a kind person and it takes a lot to make me lose my temper,i wish harm to no one but that guy deserves no mercy. treating an innnocent animal like that!!!! god, i wish i could have freed that poor lion cub and saved it.
i don't understand romania. how can this be allowed to happen? earlier in the week i also saw a bear chained up, the owners getting money for making the bear dance. i couldn't get the animals out of my head. it was the saddest thing i've ever seen. the pain in that cub's eyes. i won't forget it for along time. i hope that fucked up excuse of for a human being gets eaten alive.

i got a question, a question which i'm sure one of my teachers could give some bullshit answer to.
why the hell are we not allowed to listen to music in the mediatheque?????? in case you have no idea what i'm talking about, which most people won't, the mediathque is the library/computer room in our school.
you just walk in, in a good mood cos you're listening to a great song, and then this woman will start moaning at you :'you're not allowed to listen to music in here' or 'you can only use the computer if you take your headphones off' (adopt an irritating and whiny voice when reading these sentences.
grrr, i just get so irritated. sooner or later we won't be able to listen to music anywhere in the school. it's not like there's any point to the rule either....it's not bothering anyone else. fair enough, i usually listen to music loud (grunge is meant to be played loud, or there's no point) but i suppose i can turn it down. i'll only help me concentrate better, and not get distracted....

and I'm talking about really bald people, like I-can-see-my-reflection-in-your-head-do-you-smear-vaseline-on-your-head bald.
Seriously though... they probably don't shave it because that leaves stubble and they would have to do it everyday.
Do they maybe wax? Or use some kind of special head hair remover? Maybe there's a salon especially for waxing heads....
