Holly's sketchbook

Why hello there!

As you (should) know, I hardly use this journal anymore. Ye see, in my daily comic hollycomics I add lots of autobiographical comics. They are more interesting to read than these boring stories I type here.

Consider it a "normal" livejournal but without as much text and more pictures ;)

If ye would have read it (this doesn't go for those who did!) ye would've known that i've moved to my own houssie! (And it RULES!) And also that I work at an awesome advertising agency now, usually I make a somewhat uninteresting flyer for the local newspaper, but sometimes I get really cool assignments which require drawing and sketching. Those are my faves :)

HOWEVERRRR, on my comic livejournal I can't do any meme's, so... here, have a meme.

4 movies you can always watch:
- Billy Eliott
- Disney animations (I can't choose! But mainly Mulan and the Lion King ;)
- Harry Potter
- Lord of the Rings

4 towns you lived in:
- Zwaag
- Blokker
- Hoorn Kersenboogerd
- Oosterblokker

4 shows you like to watch:
- M*A*S*H
- Ugly Betty
- 'allo, 'allo!
- You Rang, M'Lord?

4 websites you visit daily:
- LiveJournal
- Hotmail
- Psypets
- nu.nl / telegraaf.nl (news sites)

4 favorite foods:
- Pasta! (Like penne, tortellini and spaghetti :)
- Poffertjes
- Meat (Bbq... mmmm... Though I refuse to eat baby-beasties like lamb and calf)
- Anything with sour cream

4 places you'd like to be now:
- At home with my cat, curled up in beddie.
- With my friends Niche and/or Steve
- At the annual Expreszo (Improv) weekend
- In an empty, warm swimmingpool, just for meeeee!

Btw, I stole this from Niche and i'm not tagging anyone ;) If you wanna do it, do it!

Crap! I have some very important thingies to print (job applications and whatnot) and my printer's being a bitch. Can anyone help me?

tis a HP Deskjet 970Cxi, and the ink-lampie is blinking. There's enough ink in the cartridges, I cleaned them a bit as instructed on the HPtroubleshootingpage, so I have no idea what's wrong.

It had the same problem yesterday but after a while it just went away for some silly reason, and I could print again after a few minutes. I hope the same will happen now cause I gotta send these letters out today.

Oh well.. if you think you know what's up, let me know :)

Since i've posted very little this year (mainly because I think posting to HollyComics is ENOUGH... After that I hardly feel like updating this one as well anymore I admit...) I decided to post this 2006-overview Meme. As seen on Niche's lj.

( So in case you're curious about what i've been up to, click here ;) )

Since i'll be gone tomorrow (we're having our christmas holidays in the Preston Palace, yay!) i'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all happy holidays. (And happy Holly Days)

Oooo mistletoe! ..*SMOOCH!*



( And this lj-cut is only interesting for those who play WoW, it contains a shitload of piccies LOL :) )

I just wanted to share one of the worst movie trailers i've ever seen with who.

Who, after Jurassic Park, DARES to make a movie called (are you ready for this?) DINOSAURS 3D.

GAAH! For the past days the same song has been stuck in my head:
David Gilmour's version of Dimming of the day.
It's driving me crazah, can anyone perchance find it for me, so I can get it out of my system? *Twitch*

And by the by, for those who don't follow my adventures in my other journal, (HollyComics) i'm alright. And my dwarfieparrotthingies have a baby!

Yeah come to think of it, I should update here some time with a good explanation of recent events but Gods i'm so tired right now o_O ...And singing that darn song!

Current Mood: tired
Current Music: You'll never guess.

Wha!! All day i've been working on this for my portfolio:

Well guys, i'm off for a week of Prague with my sister :) See ye!

Nichie, hereby I hand ye the key to the hollycomics vault. I should be back on fridaynight :) *Hugggg* Good luck, sistah!

Okay! So! It's been AGES eh? I just haven't felt like updating this lj lately.
( A quick summary about my London trip. With a few picsies. )

's my birthday!


This morning mum and Fred sang me awake and gave me a birthday giftie: A brand new sparkly Wacom drawing-tablet! YAY!

Also I was in Dire Maul (yeah yeah, world of warcraft again) when I actually turned 24 and my guildmates sang for me on teamspeak and let me get away with looting a fan-tas-tic sword ;D

Today I will also pick up the photos of my London trip, so expect a proper update about that real soon :)

Tomorrow Da Nichah will come, I am looking forward to that! We'll be going to the funfair (unless the weather sucks as much as it does now) and the cinema. (If I can still get tickets, i've been wanting to call them for three days now but I kept forgetting! It's horrible, I wrote notes to myself and everything! Not even my parents reminded me.)

Well, i'm off to Birthday, see ye!

Current Mood: sad

I've been home for two days now, and I have not found one minute to update my lj about London. Even now I don't.

I have to go back to work today. Yes that is right, the place that kicked me out half a year too early, because my boss did not check WHEN my contract ends. (We thought it would be the end of july but it turns out to be in January. And now I have basically wasted all my vacation-days.)

Technical question, I think Kees may know the answer to this one cause he is familiar with Opera: A while ago my compy (or my Opera, beats me) decided to forget what Cookies are for. Now I have to log in to Hotmail, photobucket and livejournal every morning. How come it does not remember my usernames and passwords anymore? o_O

So like I said, I have no time to update about my London adventure yet *sigh*... Oh well.. two days of work to go and then i'm sure I can find a moment.

By the way, James and Mildred (my dwarfie-parrot-things) have five eggs. We may get baby-dwarfie-parrot-things!

Ok everybody, I will be in London some time tomorrow. *nervous* think if me when I take off around 10-ish so that the plane won't crash. ;D

I will try to keep the Comic updated.. In case I cannot manage, there's Nichah to save the day! (I hope :) Did you get that e-mail with all those technical thingiethings btw sistah? If not, lemme know, I have a copy in my inbox)

Right... so...

Byebye!

I was curious if anybody had actually gotten some world of warcraft tattoos so I went to google, to the pictures part, and typed: WoW tattoo

If you want to see something FREAKY, do that. Not for kids or people who are easily freaked out. ;)

Two years ago I started working at gardencenter Bos. Half a year later they lengthened my contract for 1 and a half more years. Or so I thought... Just now my boss called me on the phone saying i've "quit" half a year too early. o_O

We both thought my contract was at an end. He told me (after I asked him) that it would not be lengthened. So I signed up to the CWI (Center for Work and Income) telling them I was going to be jobless. They will help me find a new job and make sure I get payed a little while i'm searching for it.

So basically my boss says that I got two half-year contracts, and THEN my one-and-a-half-year one. Meaning it looks like i've quit voluntarily. Meaning I don't have the right to any money from the CWI. He also admits he should have double checked the duration of my contract before "letting me go". I have looked everywhere but I really don't have any papers in my house that prove all this, but he says _he_ has them.

This is all very complicated, I don't even know how to explain it all to you guys :( And what sucks ass is that I can't ask parental advice because I have NO clue where the Hell they are this time! And mum's damn mobile phone keeps ringing too. *Snarl* If she actually carried it with her, I might have been able to contact her.

How annoying!

What do you think? :) I am going to try to sell it on the art market in august. The wingsies are made of real fluffness.

Current Mood: artistic
Current Music: Zira's lullabye, TLK2

Well people, I have the parrot disease. I got it at work, went to the doctor, the doctor sent public health to inspect Work, and now Work is angry. They won't say that reason of course, but they've decided not to lengthen my contract anymore because of communication slips. I bicker with Boss and Colleague too much.

My contract will end at the end of this month so i've decided I need a break. I've always wanted to go to London :D So I booked me a ticket! *Dances!*

Do any of you live around London, friendslist? :)

(As you can tell i'm really crushed and upset about getting "fired" *Snicker*)

What happens when you cross these two COMPLETELY different canaries?
