Its a sad day today.

As much as you guys probably dont want to hear this, with Michiel leaving and everything.

I have to leave the project. Due to some extenuating circumstances, some of which may be known to you and some of which are not, i am not mentally able to post a blog on mondays.

That said, I would love to fill in sometimes, not on mondays... mondays are my busy days.

And when I am emotionally stable enough to have things to write about besides my own personal feelings, I would really enjoy coming back.

I'm sorry, but I feel that I dont need to pour all of this onto you guys, and that I need to take some time for myself to take care of my mental health and my physical well-being as well.

I love you all very very much.
<3 Becca.

Second Blog on the go! (at school actually)

This week is a very tradgic week for us all, as Michiel revealed yesterday, he is leaving idontwearsockstwice. The last I heard was on twitter when he said 'If you guys ever need a fill-in I can always post but on a regular basis, normally not. If things settle down that is.' So that will be that.. as far as I'm aware we have yet to discuss who will be doing Thursday. So I speak on behalf of all of us, it has been our priveledge to work beside you. So whoever the new Thursday is Welcome!
Ok, so onto things, I am in my music lesson. I should really be doing some work, but I can't be bothered to be honest. Also today I wagged assembly, because it is Paul and went out to see if we had the names for the prises we needed to give out and then after that we couldn't be bothered to go back into assembly. My week has been tiring, I really didn't want to come into school today.. I have a really saw throat and a cough.
I will be contacting Emma, Chris and Becca, as there are a few things we need to discuss. Ok, firstly, our new Thursday. And secondly, Did anyone ever make a twitter account? If we don't then I'll make one so that our readers can follow us there, where we can put links to our new blogs and any other updates. Hopefully, that will make our blogs more accesibe.
Ok, questions!
And first of all I find myself answering my own question? why is the world so weird! My question was 'what is my greatest acheivment?'. Well, I suppose this blog! I actually cannot think! I need to do something I can feel proud of..
Then Michiel (and by the way I was not 'pleasurecruising' on Friday! That is ridiculous.. It was actually on Wednesday. ha ha!) asked us do we want kids? I think so, but not any time in the future, and not even in the next decade. Although I think Mika would be a good name. There was a little boy I once met called that. But, he didn't speak a word of English! Anyhow, I haven't thought much into that.
IM CONFUSED!! Sorry people, I don;t even know If I'm answering the right flipping questions!
Ah, yes. Chris asked what my favouroute or worste year is.. Well I haven't finished school yet, so I'll answer that in a couple of years. Although last year was pretty crappy. And The year before the before that, was quite good!
Emma- Who would I want to meet, dead or alive? I met Paul Gilbert, and he is kinda my hero. But, does meeting them dead mean, meeting there corpse?
Michiel- one thing I beleive in most? I beleive in The theory of realitivity. I also beleive that England has a crap priminister.
Sorry that it is so crap today, but I am tired, at school, in a hurry, and mourning the absence of Michiel! My question is going to be: urmmm.. What are your views on a God? Is there one? What is his role? Boring question I know. BYEE!!

The one you don't want to read

Hello y'all!

Let's jump right into answering questions, since there are only two for me this time ^^
Emma, if I could meet anyone dead or alive, I would want to meet God. Just to know if he exist, and to tell him how he screwed up. Well, how his creations screwed up that is. :)
And Chris, schoolstuff... I don't go to school anymore, and I pretty much closed that chapter of my life... I dunno. School was something that had to be done, I don't relate much to it, I just went there because I had to and lived my life outside of those walls. I guess kindergarden was the best, since I could carelessly color on the walls and stuff. Worst was prolly around the age of 15 when children become vicious and mean and skanky. Just to answer something :)

Okay, on to what I wanted to say...
When you guys asked me to join this project I was hesitant at first, though you guys persuaded me to do it I did say that I was willing to try with the option to drop out when I feel like I can't combine it with other stuff going on. Maybe it's just temporary but apart from my first blog here all the blogs have been last-minute rememberings that I still had to do this, and even though I love reading you guys' blogs -which i do daily, i had a sad when i didnt had anything to read on monday- it feels to much like an obligation to me to post every thursday. Life is hectic and I have a lot going on, things I do and do not share online, and I just want to let you guys know that this is supposed to be my last blog here. I just don't feel like I can combine it and I'm not motivated enough to keep on going with my current mindset. It's all in my head.
I did have a great time doing this, and I still love this idea and will keep checking here on a daily basis, but I won't blog here anymore. I'm sure you guys will find someone else to fill my spot, someone who will be dedicated more to this then I have been able to be.

I love you guys, and I hope you will continue this blog for a long time coming.
Don't be hesitant to contact me whenever, I'm still fully active on youtube and twitter and you won't see me disappearing there soon :)
Keep the faith, keep believing, and I will certainly keep reading!

Yours truely,
Michiel.

Btw, my question: What is the one thing you believe in most?

Just another lazy Wednesday

Since I’ve been walking around in my PJ’s all day doing absolutely nothing, I haven’t had any socks on.

So last week I was totally stressed out over the paper that I hadn’t started. Well, I got it done in time even though that meant staying up all night. I should have the result in two or three weeks so I’ll let you know then how it went. Now I’ve started for real with the first spring course so right now I’m reading about a lot of different laws and stuff that has to do with the Labour law area. So far it’s really interesting but it’s a lot of work understanding everything and learning how to find everything in the law book.

With the paper and all schoolwork I had last week, there wasn’t a lot of time over to do other things. I did however get the time to go to an aerobics class yesterday with a couple of friends, it was really fun. And I also got invited to my friend’s boyfriend’s birthday party the weekend after this.

Since I haven’t done anything else that would be interesting to mention here, I guess I’ll move on to answering the questions.

I should probably start by answering my own question. So, plastic surgery… if I knew for sure it wouldn’t hurt and it was for free. I might have something done to my nose that is a little big, and some minor firming up at the places that’s in need of it. But this is just out of pure vanity.

Last Thursday Sam wanted to know what our greatest achievement was. That’s a really difficult question because I think I’m a little too young to have a great achievement yet, but so far in my life I have to say that getting in to the college/university I wanted is the one.

On Friday Michiel asked if we wanted children and if we had a name picked up. I would love to have children… well, I would like one kid at least and preferably a girl. I would probably name her Tindra or Wilma. But that will probably change many times before it’s actually time to name a baby.

Yesterday Chris wanted to know which year had been the best and worst in school for us and why. The best year for me is actually a tie between my senior year in high school and my first year of university. Senior year because I looked forward to graduating and we had a lot of fun activities the last semester like cruises, bar rounds etc. University because I’ve made a lot of new friends and I have to spend a lot less time in school. The next 10 weeks I only have two classes a week.
The worst year have to be junior year in high school. We had a lot to do and I felt stressed all the time.

So my question to you guys this week is: If you got to meet anyone you wanted, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

I’m gonna have to think about that till next week and let you know my answer then.

Calgary weather is sort of crazy...

In my reasonable number of travels, I don't think I've ever experienced weather quite like Calgary. I am not exaggerating when I say that yesterday it was -23C/-9F here yesterday morning and then by midnight it was already -5C/23F (thats right the temperature went up in the evening). Today I woke up to +2C/33F temperature and howling winds. I'm not sure if this phenomenon exists elsewhere in the world, but we get things called chinooks regularly in the winter. Essentially they are very warm winds. It makes planning things rather difficult at times. It also makes driving always an adventure since you never know what the weather will be like, especially when one day everything is melting and then next day its freezing out again. 

See link for more info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinook_winds)

Even aside from the chinooks, the weather here is very unpredictable. Calgary is well known for the saying, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 mins". Sadly it is very true, as we can have extreme fluctuations in temperature and weather conditions. 

Since I'm doing this last minute again, on to questions...

Wednesday (Emma), plastic surgery: Having had plastic surgery for medical reasons in the past, I am mostly indifferent to the concept. I mean I wouldn't object to some minor tweaks, but nothing major. I still want to have more real skin then plastic. That being said, if I did have to choose, I would say to remove the scaring on my upper lip and even it out with the bottom. Not really sure what else, other then the standard things of getting more definition and what not, but thats really more about me going to the gym haha :P 

Thursday (Sam), achievement: Hmm, I don't know that I really have a "great achievement", or at least not in my eyes. I suppose you could say graduating secondary school and getting into university, but that got all cocked up anyway. I suppose surviving the last 4 years has been quite the adventure in itself. I've grown as a person a lot and learned a lot about myself as well. Participating and getting on the podium at the Arctic Winter Games is certainly noteworthy as well. For those that don't know it is an international competition held every two years for everyone that lives above the 52 parallel, in many different disciplines. 

 

Friday (Michiel), kids: Yes, I do want kids. As to how many and their names, I'm not really sure yet. I'm thinking no more then 4, but probably just 1 or 2. Naturally as a male, I would prefer a boy, but I'd be equally happy with a girl, or even better, one of each. I don't really have any names picked out, but there are many I like. Preferably something that can be shortened, and is not already over used. Realistically I will likely end up adopting, which I am fine with, as there are far to many homeless children as it is! (now you got me all Sappy mich! lol :P)

My question: What was your favorite and worst year of grade school/college/university, and of course why?

 I'll have to get back to you on my own response haha.
