I WON!

I did! I won something! I never win! But no longer, 'cause I won!

So what did I win?
A local talent award! Such an amazing and rewarding experience, I got to perform with an orchestra with whom I'll be performing once more in 2015. Crazy.

I sang 'girl in 14 g', the video will be up on YouTube later this day, got showered with compliments, had a blast and won a trophy. I had my picture taken multiple times, with my trophy, and I will probably appear in a local newspaper with an outrageous smile on my face. I was just having so much fun! It looks like my luck is finally coming around and I am truly grateful for it!

After 3 years of constant rejection, this is one of the most amazing things that happened to me. But that seems to be happening a lot to me lately and I don't know who to thank for it. Things suddenly fall into place, and after years of soul-searching, self loathing and other fun stuff, it is a welcome change of pace.

It looks like all my hard work is paying off and I couldn't be happier about it!

And as a sweet cherry on top, I'm becoming an auntie! I'm already in love with the little thing, which is a bit strange 'cause I haven't seen it yet. But I love it. I'm going to shower that little baby with all my love and gifts and cuddles. And love. And more love. I'm in love.

Thank you for reading!

Love,
Anouk

Fucking mosquitoes.

Apparently, since the temperature is going up ever so slightly here in the Netherlands, bugs find it necessary again to keep me up at night. Which bugs? Mosquitoes, the bitches. Bitches? Yes, it turns out only the female mosquito goes out on a blood hunt. (A fact that is probably well known, but I thought it would be fun to put it here) Could have everything to do with the fact that women deal with blood more often than man have to.

Lucky bastards.

But I'm up. It's 2.16 am, and I'm up. Other people are as well, I know, but I wasn't planning on it. In all honesty I did throw this upon myself, wine should be for the weekend! Even if you make it more suitable for a week day by adding water and putting it in a normal drinking glass, it will put you in chill mode immediately.

Or not, I'm pissed and tired so I won't make sense.

Did I tell you that the first bitch mosquito brought her fucking sister? Killed them both, on the spot. It took 3 poorly aimed hits and they were history. In their fa.., well all over them actually.

Life, it's such a fragile thing. You can be well on your way to fulfill your duty, to do the thing you were born to do, the one thing no one could take away from you because that made you who you are. And then one pissed off girl ends it with the palm of her hand. 

That should teach you to stay away from the 'ear' zone next time, dumbasses.

Goodnight internet.
