It has been ages since I've posted and as I am rubbish at posting pictures, I can only give you my list in writing.

02:46 pm - Thank God for Friends!!

Paulien has satellite television, she gets the fun channels like E and ... tadaaa BBC 4!  Which means I get to see and/or record/own/see again James' Beau Brummell!

07:17 pm

Why??

The day before yesterday I saw him again. The man I fell for a year ago. The first man I fell for after my breakup. And he looked good..

You Belong in Dublin

Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions. You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town.

05:16 pm - James-obesssion reaches a peak..

Having been without a "significant other" for 3 years and subsequently having been without someone to wake up next to for the same 3 years (apart from the one time about 6 months ago when I was drunk and he was really too good to be true), I have replaced all men in real life for a current total fantasy about Mr. Dashingly Handsome James Purefoy.

Yesterday, at work, I printed a picture of him and stuck it on the counter I was working from. Helped me get through the day. Then, when I got home and went to bed, I put the picture next to me, which helped me get to sleep (no dreams unfortunately). Next stop for the picture will be on the fridge, where I keep my selection of fine men.

Today, back at work, I've been back and forth on LJ, the Imdb and jamespurefoy.com, looking up pictures and getting my James-fix. To top it, I have just inserted Resident Evil in the dvd-player (because, even when playing bad, he's is still totally irresistible) and after he's killed I have Blessed (crap movie), a Knight's Tale (good movie) and George and the Dragon (ok movie) lined up to help me get through the day. Owning a video-shop does have its moments sometimes..

While typing, it is almost the end for poor James on Resident Evil.

Conclusion: Am totally losing it, am in desperate need of boyfriend.

Ps: have any of you ever wondered what, if by chance he would check up on his fan-base, our James would think of us? Imagine reading about yourself as we have (sometimes) been writing about him..(feeling slightly embarrassed right now..)

(Yep, the end of Spence, being eaten up by some...thing..creature..poor Spence..)

08:18 pm - Like, duh, whatever..

I'm giving up on being a smart, educated, independent woman! Instead I'm opting for the lobotomized-blond-is-that-salmon-or-fish-look!

I'm so sick and tired of these creatures, the Paris Hiltons and Jessica Simpsons of this world. And the idea that they apparently have fans is truly and utterly beyond me. I mean, what is their appeal? Apart from the fact that they have more money in the bank than I could ever dream of. Sometimes I feel that it is better to be dumb these days than smart or well scholar-ed.

Question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Answer: "A trophy-wife".

Or something like that. I've never cared too much for feminism, but these dumbo's make me (sometimes) foam at the mouth!

07:43 pm - So sweet..

Yesterday, My sons and I went to see "Nanny McPhee". I loved it!! Cried my eyes out at the end, but loved it! Kids liked it too. I guess they were "inspired" by the mischief of the kids in the movie, 'cause when it was time for them to go to bed last night, they put some of their new-found inspiration to use..

Anyway, today has been a pretty good day, just an hour 'till closing-time and I have just had my James-fix for the day, so all's well (for now).

Good night and good luck, I'll be back..

Current Mood: cheerful

02:29 pm - Nieuwe ronde, nieuwe kansen (or: New round, new opportunities..)

Well, my third entry in 3 days. So far I'm sticking to my plan of posting at least every day in my journal and this time I changed "security" from public to private. Maybe that's what I did wrong the previous times when my journal entries popped up on other people's boards?

I like it here, it gives me a chance to practice on my english, to lust secretly after James Purefoy (who I am getting a bit obsessed with), to share my James-obsession with other "sensible, stylish, classy" James-addicts and to learn more about the way a live journal works.

So far, I don't consider myself to be pretty good at posting here, but I hope that in time, I'll get better at it. "If at first you don't succeed.."

Current Mood: ditzy

04:22 pm - Oeps!

Question: If I leave a comment in my journal, does it then show up in all of my "friends'"journals?

Not that I mind, but I was just a bit surprised to see my entry displayed on another journal.

Hats off, btw, to everybody who has managed to get their own unique style, pictures, emoticons and what have you in to their journals.

For the past hour or so, I've been trying to get pictures in, but with no success so far...
But I'm not giving up, not this time, so wish me luck (or give me some easy to understand advice, please, please, please..).

02:22 pm - First Times..

So for everything there's a first time. Then let this be my first time "here". I really have no idea if what I'm doing makes any sense and I don't quite know how "this" works, but I'll try and do my best to get the hang of it.

And that's is where my BIG problem lies; there have been many "first times" for me. I like a lot of things, new things, to try out..and once I have started, I pretty soon will start losing interest and give up on whatever it is I'm doing and start over ( again) doing something new.

So, from the moment I graduated from high-school, I have tried to be: a journalist (but I couldn't get in the school for journalism, so I pretty much gave up on that idea), a secretary (hell, a one-year-course seemed so easy, "everybody" could make that, except me, I really hated that school), a sales-person (without a diploma what else should I do), a librarian (after two years in sales I wanted to get back in to school and move away from the provincial town I grew up in and go to Amsterdam)and a shop-owner (which I have been for the past 5 years and I'm getting pretty tired of it, probably due to the fact that the business isn't doing so well).

Then there have been the flings with various courses, but those were all efforts wasted and that word "wasted" sums up how I sometimes feel about my life; as a missed opportunity.., wasted..

Probably not the most upbeat first entry here, but hey, it's my party..

Most of the time I'm actually quite the positive kind of person, but I guess PMS hits really hard once you're in your thirties, so I'll blame PMS for my current state of mind.

'Till next time..
