QUEENS DAY!!

It's that time of year again, everyone!! Time to:
  • dress all in orange
  • join the massive crowds in the streets who have come from all over Holland to Amsterdam
  • party in the outdoor festivals/concerts at every public square in town
  • watch Drag Queens compete in Pole Dances, Stiletto Runs and Handbag Throws at the Drag Olympics
  • paint our faces with a Dutch flag AND of course a CDN flag ;)
  • get totally drunk all night and day
  • watch boats float thru the canals blaring loud techno music and aboard with drunk dutch people in wigs and more orange clothing

Why all this? It's the Dutch national celebration of their queen, hence: QUEEN'S DAY!

Paris









PARIJS highlights:
- gross cigarette-, razor- and match-eating man on the street (for money of course)
-funny Indian guys getting their portraits drawn
-average 6 EUROS for a small coca-cola (@#$!!)
-eating very red and very difficult to chew duck meat
-*standing on the Eiffel Tower as it sparkled in the night*
-running up to the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower (too broke to buy a ticket for the lift)
-a lot of metro riding
-eating berry tarts and croissants, mmm
-o yea, how could I forget, looking out of our hotel window and right into another hotel that was 1 metre away, complete with a pair of (shocked) lovers in the bedroom

Okay so we didn't do a lot. But that's cuz it was so frickin' expensive!! Not a place to go if you are not filthy rich. But it was still fun :) <3

it all makes sense now...

Y'know the question "if you were an animal, which animal would you be?" Well, I've never really been able to pinpoint it, but I did have some sort of affinity with FROGs and even had a childhood collection of them (in dollform, piggy bank form, u name it) but now it really all makes sense.

First, there was this picture I took last year with a frog statue that really had me convinced I was a frog in my past life:














And today, I ran my name through an ANAGRAM creator (don't ask why) and apparently, my name can be respelled as "A NICE FROG"! hahahahha!!!! Other noteworthy mentions are:
  • ACE OF RING
  • FACE GROIN <--LOL
  • A CRINGE OF
  • CAFE GROIN
  • I GO FRANCE
  • CARGO FINE
  • I CAN FORGE
  • ENRICO FAG
  • NO RICE FAG
  • GAIN FORCE

FYI


I know you've all been sittin' around wondering the exact same things that I have been recently, so I thought I'd share the deep and analytical research findings of my very hard-at-work-googling efforts in this post. You can thank me later.

Q: What is a teat? Isn't it just some funky way of pronouncing 'TIT'? Y'know, you don't 'twist a tit', you 'twist someone's teat'.

A: In fact, a
teat is a real word, as an alternative word for a nipple or breast. It is the projection from the udder through which milk is discharged. Teats are also called papilla mammae. So the next time you try to twist your friend's teat, you can use that word correctly, AND with confidence.

Q: Do sheep ever attack?

A: Well, sorry to disappoint, but I still have no conclusive research evidence on this topic. In Texel, it very well seemed that they might be capable of violent attacks, especially when we got nearer and nearer to the baby lambs, but the expression on their faces teetered back an forth between 'aware-angry- and ready to kick some human ass' and just plain ol' 'hey molly do you see something or is it my glaucoma??'

Note: I failed my mission to touch a baby lamb in Texel. They were SOOOOO cute.. but we really didnt' wanna risk a sheep stampede. If anyone knows the answer to this question, please let me know!!

Well, my 8 hrs are up, I'm running out into the sunshine!! If you have any questions you'd like answered, drop me a line...Tot volgende keer :)
