god, save the queen



god save the queen, we mean it, man
we love our queen, god saves
god save the queen, 'cause tourists are money
and our figurehead is not what she seems
god save the queen, she ain't no human being
there is no future, no no future, in england's dreaming
- god save the queen - 

I love this song covered by Nouvelle Vague. Applicable is that it's the Dutch queen's day today. It's like this singer drinks fabric softener in her coffee every morning; her voice is outstandingly magnificent. These are the songs I prefer listening on a lazy Sunday morning, really, those days save me, I never do anything useful during them. I love singing these songs, on my own, because I really hate singing in front of other people, therefore I also dislike playing my guitar in public, the reason why I quit following lessons. Whatever. Today I went to a fleamarket with my best friend, the stuff there were a bit disappointing, to be honest I expected exceedingly beautiful old shit, not ugly old shit. Therefore I always expect too much. The dress is from forever21, I guess, I'm not sure though. The sandals are from Pieces.

another rainy day









OK, I've been patiently waiting for the sun to shine in Holland, but it refuses to come over and say hello. Anyway, the day after tomorrow I'll go to Leiden again to stay there for a week, so I'm not going to blog much, I'm in a very uninspired phase, very very very very uninspired, sorry. I hope it will float away after I visited the city 'cause my nostalgia is nearly always the case of these unexcitenesses. I don't have any cravings besides for seeing interesting people and buildings there. Therefor I can't wait to live in my hometown. I have been writing these days, writing anything I think of, I literally lay down on my bed with a pen in my right hand and paper in the left, waiting for something good to come up in my mind. Whatever, my head is actually a mess all the time.

spending your teenage years drinking tea


There isn't really much going on these days, damn, I used to have a really impressing life. You know, where I live is really nothing to do, and when I'm not with my friends I feel bored like crazy. Fortunately I move to the city again next year, it's where I actually grew up, so, yes, when I think of that I'm the happiest person on earth. I really enjoy walking through cities, they give you the feeling you could handle everything, especially Amsterdam. Oh my god, I love Amsterdam's atmosphere, it's such a magnificent feeling you can't describe. Only people who have been there know what I mean, otherwise it sounds quite ridiculous. In short: I'll be happy to leave this sad, empty town next year.
Anyway, you surely recognize it when I tell you about the short eye-contact you make with some strangers you see. You meet their eyes for just two seconds and after that you forget them. I wonder what they think when they look at me, I'd like to know if what they think is positive or negative. But naturally things like these I will never find out perhaps. 

PS. Polaroids are from Venice I visited last summer. I love that city and my camera.
PPS. I will soon post an outfit post. That would definitely be more interesting to see.

we could also go to Paris, instead of school





I've got a new haircut, nothing special actually, only a bit shorter (in the second picture I still got long hair). I wonder how it looks when I curl my hair, maybe it will remind me of the 50's because of the length, that would be so awesome. Anyway, last weeks I've been searching for the motivation to study, but I can't find it anywhere. I'm so fed up with studying for hours in exchange for sufficient marks, I just want to do creative things again. And though I don't actually do my homework I still feel the pressure of it, uchg. I'm in the middle of my testweek, so perhaps I've got more time after this. Oh, and please don't mind me sleepy face and sloppy sweater, I've been walking around in pajamas whole day long.
