O thy huge updatism
Let's give ourselfs a moment of reflection over the past few days.
Last week we had a festival here, a local one but of a big scale, with literally thousands of visitors for the weekend. I didn't go there, for various reasons, moreover because of the endless sea of beerdrinking guys, and the dreadful mess all over the floor oO. Anyway! There was also a lottery organised for the local people - including me - and I participated. And won. On 6th place. A fair amount of money! It's only a 2-digit amount of cash but heck free money is always fun!
During that festival there is also this tradition of clay bird shooting. People get the chance to shoot a fake bird off a pole. Last year, my dad shot it off, which made him "King" as the tradition goes, and my mother "Queen". Obviously it made me prince =P Anyway, that was last year, BEFORE the divorce. Tradition states the year after the old king and queen will be picked up, handing over the crown to the next king. Obviously, my mother had no intention of going and neither did anyone else of our family. My dad however, the stupid "king" for what he is, brought along his new "queen", all the way from Germany. Ha ha, oh boy what an idiot.. he put up half of our town against him with such a stupid act. We told him off already, adviced him not to take the new one with him way before the festival even started. But it just proves how smart - and rather heartless too - he is. I rather not go on about it him anymore now, heard alot of stuff that just makes me feel twisted inside. The fun stopped long ago already.
Last week I've been recording two more new piano songs for YouTube. I tried adding two more over time but I've been out of luck. Just alittle more practice is needed! I also plan on having a go at the score Harry's Wondrous World from the Harry Potter movies. The soundtrack is absolutely fabulous and I haven't seen anyone else on YouTube playing it on piano. It's pretty difficult with a tough learning curve, but I'll get there one day!
In other more amusing news, I received some wonderful gifts from Ria by mail! A lovely Rex from Toy Story (absolute LOVE), a ring that fits me perfectly, a black necklace and two wrist bands! Thank you so very very VERY much for the stuff! <3 *hugs tight*
I love the black with white wrist band the most =] It fits me perfectly and I've been wearing it daily since! The ring is also a thing I'm sticking too, even though I still need to get used to it.. I've never worn any rings before! But all the stuff sent is really really great =]
Lastly I want to reflect abit about next week: that's when my finals will start. Eight days left, and I'm really worrying about it, not sure if I'm up for it just yet.. Keep me motivated please! I'll hopefully be done with it all in one go! Generally my chances of succeeding aren't particulary slim, it's just very cautious to take. Not to be underestimated.
Fingers crossed on that!
Other than that, excuse my ever remaining absence of the digital communities, but with some luck I'll be done within three weeks =] Hope you're all doing well out there!
