Straight edge?

Last week, I went to the birthday party of a friend. Me being the only one who didn't drink alcohol wasn't new for me. But for others it was ...
Why don't you drink a beer?
Me: Because I don't like it.
But everyone does it, so just do it.
Me: Well, that's just stupid, why would you drink a beer if everyone else did? Then you're just following the rest. I don't drink because I don't like it and I think you can make a lot of fun without.
Then what do you drink?
Me: Just water, I don't drink soda because I don't like it either.
A friend of me said: Wow! So you don't drink?
Me: I don't drink, smoke or do drugs and I don't care about what other people say about that. Like my dad would say: I'm proud about it. ;)
She: OMG! You are straight edge! That's so cool! One of my best friends is straight edge too and she's AWESOME! You guys should be friends!
And I was thinking: I'm I straight edge?? I don't know if this counts or what it means in total.

So I looked it up and I know for sure I'm definitaly not straight edge! Because I'm not a vegetarian or vegan. I kind of like hardcore, but not as much as a real straight edger does. And I don't like punk. I'm not wearing crosses or anything extreme. I'm just a person who has an opinion and I'm not afraid to tell it. I think you should speak out and you should do what you think is right. If you like drinking, that's ok! I'm not going to like you less. Some of my closest friends drink too, some of them a lot, others not that much, but they still are my friends and they respect my opinion.Just say no if when you don’t want to do something, don’t think: “They are going to think I’m boring, stupid, a baby, …” Because when you say you don’t want to, they will think: “Hey, she/he does whatever she/he wants and she/he doesn’t care about what others think, it’s smart! Why shouldn’t I just do that too?”

I’m just proud to say I’m not following the rest, but that I have my own opinion. And nobody has the right to take that away from me!

Epic!!!

A while ago, I went to the cinema. Then I saw the trailer from the animated movie Epic. I was so excited! I really want to go see it. It looks awesome! Normally the movie is for younger children, but I’m going to use every excuse to see it. I just fell in love with the slug and the snail!! Mub & Grub!! They are amazing! :D I don’t care about what people are going to say when they know I’m crazy about them, because the movie is so special. I really admire people who can make such movies. That’s one of my dreams: to make awesome movies like that.

Definitely go watch it!! I think I might go more than once until I’m having the movie at home …

See yaaa later alligator!!!

Bill haley and comets – see you later alligator

See you later alligator!

After a while crocodile!

When I read one of the books from the True blood series, I sang this song the whole day.  But that is a long time ago. Yesterday, a friend said: See you later! And I immediately started to scream the words: See you later alligator!! But she didn’t reply, another friend of me was like: Euhm, after a while crocodile? We all started to laugh and I’ve been using it every time I say goodbye. It’s just funny when people reply although most people think I’m weird when I say it, but who cares? It’s different and funny, so I say this: Use it too! Give Bill Haley’s song a second life, he will be grateful ;) 

Back in time

What would you change if you could go back in time? Well I don’t really want to go back in time, because there are things I would’ve done differently. But would I still be the same person as I’m now? Or would those things make me another person? At this moment I’m pretty happy with who I am. I still don’t know what to do with my life, but I have some dreams. Dreams, and I’ll try to make them come true. So if I would go back in time I might have other dreams or just be another person than I’m today. I’m still young, so maybe one day I’ll say: “If I could go back …” but hopefully I won’t regret my decisions. I know that I’ll learn from my mistakes, so I’ll become who I want to become.

Bastille - Flaws

A couple days ago, I heard for the first about this band. I looked them up and I think I’ve been listening to this song for the rest of the day. There songs are great. I really like them. So I started to listen to them the whole time and I kind of made my best friend go crazy. Oops! Haha, he has been listening too and we are both addicted. Out of all their songs, this is my favorite. It just makes me smile and dance. The craziest things come into my mind, but it’s just inspiring and easeful. When I close my eyes I just see me and my best friends running around on the grass and jumping on a trampoline. We are just having fun and moving on the music. Laughing and shouting the whole time, just enjoying every moment we spend together. We just don’t care about our flaws …

Having a cold

2 weeks ago I worked with children a lot. My category was toddlers, so I was pretty busy. Everyday playing with them, dressing up as an animal to entertain them and standing for hours in the cold wind to watch them while they are playing. We needed to make a program every evening for the next day. I have to say it was hard, but the best time of my life. Seeing those happy kids just makes you happy. I had amazing co-animators and we were a great group. My best friends where there too and we had an awesome week. But it was hard. Almost no sleep, watching them all the time, entertain them, screaming, … The day after that week my voice was literally gone. I could just say words with a weird noise and I started to cough the hole time. So yeah, I became sick. All the kids had had the chance on making me sick and they took it ;) . I had a cold! Jup, and that for about 10 days. So I was sick for the rest of my vacation. Not really what I hoped for, but yeah. Now the rest of my family is getting sick , but for me it’s almost over. I hope I will get better soon, because I don’t want to have a cold when the weather is turning great.

Precious to me ...

Last week I had to make something about things that are or were precious to me. I couldn’t really think about something, so I just started to look up some of my favorite things. Then the idea came: making a collage, but I didn’t really knew what indicates me, so I texted my best friend. I asked him what he thought of when he thought about me. He sent me a list and I started smiling while reading it. He just knew me to good… the hippie van, john Lennon, skulls, quotes, dreams, smiles …

I immediately knew what to do. I took Pluto, because it’s my favorite character from Disney. I just LOVE him!! I took my favorite quotes and mixed them into it. A world because I want to travel around it. A skull because I like it and for me it means that everything is beautiful in his own way. A smile because a smile is the most important thing on your face. A peace sign because I’m a believer in peace. John Lennon because I admire him. His thoughts and lyrics inspired me. A Volkswagen van because that’s a dream. I want to buy one and travel in it (around the world). And the dream catcher because I have big dreams and I really want them to become true, so no nightmares for me.

I like the way it turned out. It’s kind of a collage about me. My best friend is proud, he thinks it’s a perfect description of me only a picture of us together is missing … ;)
