Aarrgghh!!

I'm going to rant today.

It seems my mobile provider has some very local problems.. very locally.. just me..

I have no mobile range whatsoever, and even my mobile internet isn't working. This sucks monkeyballs..

I can only use WiFi...

This means I can't call or receive calls.. And my provider isn't very helpfull.. They say there isn't a known problem and tell me to restart my phone (Like I haven't tried already) or to remove and reinsert my simcard..

This has been going on for four days already.. It frustrates the hell out of me..

So anyone got any tips on how to resolve this problem?

Yikes!

I didn't write a post yesterday!

In my defense, I had a very busy day. I woke up late after I finally had a good night rest.
After that, I took my time to shower, get dressed and to eat something.
Early in the afternoon I had to go to my little sister's school because she graduated.
After this the whole family went out to dinner, wich wasn't planned, so my plan to write a post after her graduation party failed.

I had to leave the dinner early because a friend of mine held a housewarming party.

Another friend of ours brought her boyfriend from the USA over, so we had to talk English all evening. We played a drinking game, kingsen, but then translated into English, it was hilarious!

Afterwards, the American told us it was the first time he played a drinking game, it even was the first time he drank so much alcohol!

When we walked them to their hotel we talked about games and going to America (need the money though)

This morning I received a textmessage from my friend saying our American friend had a hangover, and she had to drag him to the shower. How fun.

As usual I'm a bit tired of not having enough sleep, but no hangover, hooray!

To make up for not posting yesterday here's a nice youtube video I found.
It's a remix with all hits from Bruno Mars. It's awesome!



And as a bonus:

Acting

People told me I should write on something I like, so for this post, I chose acting!


As some of you may know, I like acting. Inf act, I'm even in my school's theatre group.

What got me interested in acting is my work on the campsite. Because here we play 'Kindertheater' theatre for children. It's like Shakespeare, men dressed as women, women dressed as men, people chasing eachother, etc, etc.
These bedtime stories are mini-plays. The characters get introduced, a problem appears, the problem gets solved and everyone's happy. We do these every day.

We also do a musical each year.

A few years ago we did 'the Lion King'. In the Lion King I played Zazu, that annoying blue bird. (Typecasting anyone?)  This was my first 'big' role in a play. I was kinda nervous at first, because I had to sing live. With the big songs in the musicals, we play the recordings and mouth the words. But there was a small song wich wasn't recorded, so I had to sing live... Just to let you know, the people are fine by now, I hope... 
This year we're going to do 'Kruimeltje' (Little crumb) I got the part of the fosterdad who beats the children he cares for up. I have to work on my voice, because the man who plays the part in the real musical has a very deep voice.  As you can see in this short clip.

For the people in the Netherlands who are interested in seeing me star in this musical, let me know, I'll email you the details ;)

In my biggest dream there will be a casting agent who sees me perform and likes me so I get to act in Hollywood.

I got some pics from me playing Zazu to fill up my page ^^

Birthday and about the blog

After a night with not much sleep because I finally finished Assassin's Creed 1 and started AC2, I'm here for a shout out for my little sister. She turns 19 today. Happy Birthday Sis!

Now I got something about to ask you about my blog.
I want to update once a day, but sometimes I have a 'Bloggersblock' and got no idea what to blog about. So I'd like to ask you to tell me about things you'd like me to blog about. If you got any further questions don't hesitate to ask them in the comments ^^

Games

Kinda late, but just in time!
I want to talk about games today.

Yesterday I asked about what kind of games you guys play. Today I'd like to talk about games you finished.

This afternoon I played Asura's Wrath and finished it. I like how the game mixes 'Normal' Gameplay with Quick Time Events.
Storyline is obviously RPG. Someone wants to destroy the world and you have to stop them. It starts with the death of the president, and you get framed. After that you have to fight seven demigods.

What games did you finished in one sitting? And what other games did you guys finish?

'Free' weekend

It's finally here! My first weekend in weeks where I don't have to study or anything. So I made myself a promise. I'm not going to do anything this weekend, only fun stuff!

So I already made plans. (Yeah I know, not going to do anything but still makes plans) Tomorrow I'm going to a friend who I haven't seen in months because of all the studying. And we're going to play videogames. All night long!

We play all sort of games, mostly co-op campaigns. We finished Army Of Two like 4 times.
Ah good times :)

Do you guys play videogames? Tell me about it ^^

Housemates

As some you may know I don't live with my parents anymore. Not that we are fighting or anything, it's just easier. Almost all of my friends live in the city and it's a lot closer to school. I live in an old office building together with 4 others.

And that's the problem. Housemates..
I don't mind if they play their music too loudly, as long as they turn the volume down when I'm going to bed. The real trouble starts when it's time to clean. There is a cleaning roster, but almost all of my housemates never do their chores. Wich means I get to clean the kitchen again, because I have to eat. I have to clean the shower, I want to become clean by taking one. And I can name more things..

Taking the trash out for instance. Every friday morning our thrash get picked up. So we have to put our trashcontainers at the side of the road on thursday evening. Just me and another roommates think about it. Last week she and I weren't at home. Next day I came back and noticed the trashcontainer was full. I take my own trash out to the container on fridays before I go home to my parents. But I couldn't because not even one of my housemates took the container out.

I'm going to work for four weeks.. I wonder how our house will look when I get back...
