Update

I realized I've been neglecting my blog again. I didn't really know what to write. But today I thought of writing again. At the moment I still haven't got a job. I applied for Lush, but I'm waiting for a reply. I'm mostly spending my days on Tumblr or reading a book. In the beginning of January I also did an audition for a short film, but I'm also waiting for a reply.

Today was rather a sad day cause I had to put one of my rats to sleep. He had a tumor next to his nose so they couldn't operate him anymore and I took care of him for two weeks with an ointment, but this morning I heard he had trouble with breathing and the tumor was so big that this was the best thing to do for him, otherwise he would have suffocated, or starved.. :(

One of the last pictures of Aro I took last week

I'm going to miss him. He was a very sweet & strong rat :(

I thought of also posting my to-do list/goals for 2013, although I'm way too late, but oh well..

I already failed at the 'eat fruit everyday' part and spend less time on the internet xD

But I do play the violin everyday again and I meditate every night before I go to bed!

Oh and I got a haircut! I thought they were going to cut it really short because of all the unhealthy parts of my hair, but it turned out to be longer than I expected!

Don't mind my face though.

So what have you guys been up to?

Hide and Seek

So I recently discovered The Birthday Massacre's new album and immediately I fell in love with it <3

I'm listening non-stop to it, haha! I think it's one of their best albums until now. What I like about it is that there's really a story behind it. I quote from wikipedia: "In an interview with Auxiliary Magazine, the album's theme was described by the band as being loosely based on Chibi's fascination with unsolved murder mysteries, the idea of the city, and death; particularly, the thirty-year-old mystery of a missing girl."

Here's the tracklist:

1."Leaving Tonight"  

2."Down"  

3."Play with Fire" 

4."Need"  

5."Calling"  

6."Alibis"  

7."One Promise"  

8."In this Moment" 

9."Cover My Eyes" 

10."The Long Way Home"  

My favourites are Leaving tonight, play with fire & one promise, but like I said they're all awesome!

There is a shadow here, but there is no light behind me.~

Kenzi sleeves

So in 2 days it's FACTS convention and I've been working on my cosplay outfit today. Most of the things are just clothes I found and combined, but Kenzi's sleeves I had to make myself. I'm still working on it, but here's the first glimpse of it!

So first I cut a panty, but since it was a panty in two pieces I just had to cut it in two. And then I used textile paint for the black parts. I didn't really paint it, I just randomly splashed the paint all over the pieces and this is the result. I'm actually quite proud of it, cause it does look a bit like Kenzi's! ^^

I can't wait to be her for one day <3

Who else is coming to FACTS Convention and how are you going to be cosplayed (if you'll be cosplayed of course). I will be Kenzi on Saturday and The Doctor's Daughter on Sunday! ^^

What if your thumb roared like a dinosaur?

This song makes my life complete

I found it on tumblr a couple of days ago and I love it! It's just so random and doesn't make sense. Just like my life.

Meanwhile I'm totally obsessed with Lana Del Rey's music too (since the summer) and just keep listening to her. 

I also started my Book Reading Challenge! I'm in my second book now 'Neverwhere' from Neil Gaiman. I still have a lot to read, so I'm going to do that now. Bye!

My life & my new obsession: Kenzi

I just realized I haven't blogged for aages! So here I am again!
After a long search of what to do I decided not to study for a year and go work, at least if I can find something.. My days are so filled right now, I've got something to do almost every evening! Tuesday I have to go to the music school for 'AMC', I have no idea what it is in English, let's say lot's of theoretical stuff, Wednesday and Friday I have theatre rehearsals & Thursday I have my violin lesson.. So busy busy, but that's not everything. Some teenagers are going to make their own 'tv show' and I can participate! It's going to be a mix between Pretty Little Liars & Glee. I'm curious how that's going to turn out! Of course it's not going to be on tv and it's not professional, but it's a great experience and I think we're going to have a lot of fun! So we have to meet up twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday! AND I need to get a job, lol xD

Anyway, we'll see what happens. Meanwhile I'm totally obsessed with a show called 'Lost Girl' and especially with Kenzi. She's so amazing and I'm totally going to cosplay her for FACTS Convention <3

I'll try to blog some more these days and if I get my cosplay together I'll post it too :)

I'm also going to cosplay Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter), but need to finish my outfit.

Also, my lovely Sami has a fashion blog and she gave me the idea to make one too, don't know about it yet, cause I wouldn't know what to post since I'm not that awesome or anything, but I'll think about it! :)

Sorry for my lack of blogging, hope you guys are doing well!

Someone just send me the link of a commercial I played in a month ago. Apparently it's on the tv too!
Here it is:

Eeep :3

Perigee "Super Moon" On May 5-6

Before I go to bed, I wanted to share this with you guys. I copied this from a site (link below), so if you're interested in it, don't forget to take a look. We will have a giant moon tomorrow night :)

'May 2, 2012:  The full Moon has a reputation for trouble. It raises high tides, it makes dogs howl, it wakes you up in the middle of the night with beams of moonlight stealing through drapes. If a moonbeam wakes you up on the night of May 5th, 2012, you might want to get out of bed and take a look.  This May’s full Moon is a "super Moon,” as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2012.

The scientific term for the phenomenon is "perigee moon." Full Moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the Moon's orbit. The Moon follows an elliptical path around Earth with one side ("perigee") about 50,000 km closer than the other ("apogee").  Full Moons that occur on the perigee side of the Moon's orbit seem extra big and bright.

Such is the case on May 5th at 11:34 pm Eastern Daylight Time¹ when the Moon reaches perigee.  Only one minute later, the Moon will line up with Earth and the sun to become brilliantly full.  The timing is almost perfect.

Okay, the Moon is 14% bigger than usual, but can you really tell the difference? It's tricky. There are no rulers floating in the sky to measure lunar diameters. Hanging high overhead with no reference points to provide a sense of scale, one full Moon can seem much like any other.

The best time to look is when the Moon is near the horizon.  For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects. On May 5th, this Moon illusion will amplify a full Moon that's extra-big to begin with.  The swollen orb rising in the east at sunset should seem super indeed.

Folklore holds that all kinds of wacky things happen under the light of a full Moon.  Supposedly, hospital admissions increase, the crime rate ticks upward, and people behave strangely. The idea that the full Moon causes mental disorders was widespread in the Middle Ages. Even the word "lunacy," meaning "insanity," comes from the Latin word for "Moon."

The majority of modern studies, however, show no correlation between the phase of the Moon and the incidence of crime, sickness, or human behavior.  The truth is, the Moon is less influential than folklore would have us believe.

It's true that a perigee full Moon brings with it extra-high "perigean tides," but according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration this is nothing to worry about. In most places, lunar gravity at perigee pulls tide waters only a few centimeters (an inch or so) higher than usual. Local geography can amplify the effect to about 15 centimeters (six inches)--not exactly a great flood.

Super perigee Moons are actually fairly common.  The Moon becomes full within a few hours of its closest approach to Earth about once a year on average.   The last such coincidence occurred on March 19th, 2011, producing a full Moon that was almost 400 km closer than this one.  As usual, no trouble was reported--unless you count a midnight awakening as trouble.

If so, close the drapes on May 5th. Otherwise, enjoy the super-moonlight.'
