Christmas 2005 & such
Major LJ-neglect alert here! Was too busy slash lazy to update, I guess. My Christmas was surprisingly nice! I had been dreading the Xmas-dinner with Thijs's family that would take place the 25th, but it was actually very nice! We ate Thai food, cooked by Maartje & Jasper, and it was delicious. I also got presents, mostly from Thijs's mother: a quilt (?) for my bed, candles and chocolate. (let's also not forget to mention here Cecine's awesome gift: Norwegian chocolate! ♥ Guh, tastes good!) I have the feeling me & Maartje get along better (finally!). I hope we'll continue that in 2006. Anyway, December 26th I was at home with my parents, sister and a friend of my mother's, Miep, and her daughter, Like. It was so very nice! Like is awesome - she speaks fluent Swedish and has lived in Stockholm for awhile, and she also has the entire Stephen King-collection. Awesomeness. Dinner was good, of course.
What else have I done? I've worked, mostly. And watched movies (Bridget Jones's Diary, Fame, The Motorcycle Diaries (haven't finished that one yet), The Incredibles), which is nice because lately I haven't been watching a lot of movies. I've also been to this clairvoyant sort of person yesterday, which was very very nice. She said some very nice & true & interesting things that I won't get into here.
And I bought Shakira's Fijación Oral volume 1 and now I'm addicted to En Tus Pupilas & No & the acoustic version of La Pared and I need to go to Spain. I also ordered the Enya best of album Paint the sky with stars because that title is to die for and I love Anywhere Is to death. It's nice having money to spend.
I will celebrate NYE at my sister's, together with my parents, Thijs & Arne's parents. I think it will be nice. On December 31th the first live show of Idols will take place, and Emily, a former studyfriend of mine, will do some background dancing in that show. Awesomeness! She did the same during a Kelis-concert in Holland, and she belongs to Dutch singer Do's regular dancers. I think that's great, really.
(does anyone know if Camara is a Spanish first or last name or a city or something in Spain?)
What an incoherent update. Sorry. I'll end with a meme I nicked from cecine
