I'll never promise you a rose garden..


but you can have my Christmas tree.

I'll post something more meaningful in a while, I guess. Maybe even a new song. But for now, sleep. It's a quarter past eleven now, and the moon is absolutely beautiful. Really low, and yellow..

Maybe I told you because I wanted to share, or maybe I just told you because I still don't know the difference between pm and am.

Goodnightynight! x0x0 (I need to be persistent with the zero's I guess)

Sunglasses, now, where's the sun?

Sure, I finally buy sunglasses I actually like, and then the sun disappears.

I always dislike sunglasses on me because.. I don't know, or because of my face, or because of my bangs. Or te combition haha. But I like this one.

Still, it's looking way cooler on the sheep. Stupid sheep.




Maha, caught (and smelled, whooohee) you yawning. 

I want to make a list of my favorite things.. things I already own. ah.. okay I'm going for some favorite-things-photo-safari through the house.

ahrr.. but I'll post that later.

Have a nice day xoxo

(edit; photsafari failed over and out roger)

King Louis

King Louis
Hello, hello, I live in a house near you 
But you probably, 
Didn’t even notice me 
‘Cause I am what they call, 
I am what they call; 
Invisible, invisible, invisible.. 

Hello, hello, may I take your order please? 
A pound of flesh and maybe a sausage, or three? 
Please take your money away, 
I don’t want it, it makes me feel so cheap 
Even though it’s for this job, I desperately need to keep 
‘cause I need the money, ‘cause I saw a pretty dress 
And when I wear it I feel like, 
And when I wear it I feel like; 

King Louis, Napoleon 
King Louis, Napoleon 
King Louis, Napoleon 
Jon Heder, Will Ferrell, Madonna, Napoleon 
King Louis, Napoleon
Andy Warhol 
Andy Warhol 
King Louis, Napoleon 
King Louis, and the guy with his kazoo

Hello, hello, I found your cat 
-I kidnapped her first, but who cares about that 
Hello, hello, I found your cat 
- I kidnapped her first, but who cares about that 
Please take your money away, 
I don’t want it, it makes me feel so cheap 
I only want your love, beginning with a kiss on the cheek 
I need your love, I need your love, 
I need your love, I need your love, I need your.. 
Oops! Did I say that out loud?! 
Oops! Did I say that out loud?! 
Oops, did I say that out loud? .. 

Hello, hello, I found your cat 
-I kidnapped her first, but who cares about that 
Hello, hello, I found your cat 
- I catnapped her first, but who cares about that 
You think you saw me before? Well just guess, boy 
You think you saw me before? Well just guess! 
You only see me now, that I wear this dress 
You only see me now, that I wear this dress 
You only see me now, that I wear this dress.. 

Well king Louis and Napoleon, 
Never wore a dress, Napoleon 
King Louis, Napoleon 
Never wore a dress 
Andy Warhol, never wore a.. 
Well maybe he did, 
But who cares about Andy Warhol? 
He got shot, now he’s dead
King Louis, Napoleon 
Never wore a dress, Napoleon 
King Louis, never wore a dress, Napoleon
Marie Antoinette she, did wear a dress
But who cares about, Marie Antoinette? 
She got executed, she lost her head,
Oh, oh, that poor, poor, Marie Antoinette

You only see me now, that I wear this dress 
You only see me now, that I wear this dress.. 

I love Doctor Musgrave, I would die for him 
I love Doctor Musgrave, I would die for him 
I love Doctor Musgrave, I would die for him 
I love Doctor Musgrave.

Lowlands

So, the story, I should've done this before hehe. Anyway.

Tuesday I went to a Regina Spektor concert (which was totally freaaaking unbelievable and she was so good and cool and I want to go again), and without me knowing anything about it, my mother had tried to arrange a meeting with Regina, by mailing Paradiso (the thing where she had to perform). 
But that all went a bit slow and it didn't work. The day after the show, my mom got an email from a woman working there saying something like: well we listened to her songs and we liked it, when Anne-Fleur thinks she's ready for little concerts she should mail me.
So on thursday, my mom told me that, and sent me that email. And I thought, oh cool maybe then next year I could play in the small room of Paradiso.. or maybe a pre-show to some band. So then, on friday, I started writing an email, which took me a whole day because I'm terribly bad at writing emails to people I don't know. And I wasn't finished yet, when my mom got an email of a man from Mojo who said something like: we listened to her songs and think she's promising, on what number could we reach you?
And my mom went like ieeeeee, and I was like: aaaa stop! nothing's gonna happen!
And she emailed our number and a few minutes later the phone rang and I was like: I'm not gonna pick it uppppppppp! So my mom picked up the phone and after like 10 minutes I tip-toed downstairs and then I heard the phone being hung up and my mom ran downstairs and said: I think it's better if you sit down.. you might have to sell your lowlands ticket.. 
And I said: "no.. what.. come on"
And she said: "Yeah, you're going to play on lowlands!"

And I think I might've said "so it isn't a joke" for like.. 10 times. And each time she said no. And then I ran up the stairs screaming and went to Rosa and when I was there I screamed, and she screamed and.. well you know (;p)

So that's the whole story. And mom, thanks again!

This is still, so, weird.

Titlepage

I'm busy writing every song I ever wrote in a cheap college notebook. And before I did that I had to write down every title.. and it ended up looking like this:

The titles in between the brackets (english?) are songs I don't really like (mostly because they're on guitar) and never play. The one betweens the wrinkly brackets are songs who still need music to go with them.   



and the one with red stripes are the ones I already wrote in the thingy. And I only write like that for things like this. I can write a bit better hehe.

ahh uhrrr anddd... no nothing else. Meehehehehehehehehehee.

Okay bye! x

I cried my virgin mermaid tears

A new sooong woo. It's called uuummm... ahmm.... dang this is hard.. well anyway.

Don't cry,
crying makes the air moist
Which causes mushrooms to grow
Don't cry

Don't believe,
when the presidents say it's the most beautiful thing they've witnessed in their lives
even when they're saying mushrooms are more beautiful than their wives
Don't believe

Don't do not believe me,
Mushrooms aren't that pretty,
I saw one myself, when I walked to the top of the hill
but I still needed to take my happypills
Don't don't believe me

Memories, a mermaidman took me to his house in the sea
he told me not to breathe, the poisoned air
until we would be there
and when we came there, he took me into his scaley arms
took my breath with his charms
and then kissed me,
filling my lungs again

and I cried, I cried my virgin mermaid tears
I cried my last human tears
I cried

So don't cry when all you ever do is laugh
and please put your autograph
on this paper to make sure,
that if you ever cry, 
you'll cry so hard, so loud, so much
you'll cry the earth into a sea
'cause, remember, my daughter
mushrooms cannot grow underwater

And don't don't believe me

and I cried, I cried my virgin mermaid tears
I cried my last human tears
I cried

edit: and some photo's because I was bored..


I guess someone felt the urge to scratch "dogs"

The little guy sat there for half an hour, sipping his pepsi. (Later his mom told me that the reason he sat all the way there with the bottle, is because actually he wasn't allowed to drink cola) 

I swear to pizza, this is the only ahm.. solid? picture I have of Sjors. I love this picture.

And I loooove this car. It's pink! It's a cadillac! yeah.

mmyea.. black and white.. well.. anyway. I actually uploaded the mushrooms song by the way, but my face was so creepy in the beginning that I took it of again. (I wrote creepy as creapy ha).
It's raining cats and dogs out here.. bye!

Long time no see

I've been avoiding my computer, or well.. avoiding.. it just came naturally. Went to the beach with friens and with my sister.. played rummikub like a madman with my father and sister. And reading books!

Sarah lend me the book Everything is illuminated by Jonathan Saffran Foer. I read his Extremely Loud Incredibly Close also, and I loved that one. I haven't finished Everything is.. yet, but I love it already. And the gave me another book to read which was Happiness by Will Ferguson, only then the Dutch version. I read a few pages and it's so cool that I ordered it in English :-) practise practise!

Ooooh look what I found

The Man of Thousand faces is such a beautiful song.. I don't really like the video though. Only 11 days till I see her! Yay.

I have nothing, nooothing to say.. well.. have

oh no seriously, Michael Jackson.. I was flabbergasted.. I've said this so many times but; I secretly thought he would live on forever. I don't know what more to say about him. He was just some kind of machine, doing his perfect dances and how he created some songs that were just so amazing that almost everyone who heard it liked it. (when I try to type sentences that long, I always make mistakes). Though his dances and song would've been even better if he would've been happy.

I'm going to be a couch potato with Jonathan for a while and then go.. swimming maybe. Aren't we lucky with the beach 10 min cycling near? Ohh it's going backwards.
And I should post a video soon.

Bye! Have a nice day :-)
