It's almost over a hectic year and possibly an even more hectic period for me. Finally got a somewhat stable job atm and good colleagues.
A year that was filled with much happiness and sorrow.
Due to my grandfather's passing on the Sunday of Castlefest...so what should have been a good day had been ruined by a constant feeling of grief. Still I am glad I got to see him and he me while he was still concious.
So no more phonecalls from Heerenveen...
It was also the year of me going to Ireland as an au pair and returning after a month...so that sucked big time, apparantely I wasn't what they wanted, so I was put on a plane back.
Of course there we're also great things that took place this year.
The Bryan Addams Concert in Rotterdam was just fantastic, unbelievable and so much fun.
Also I've discovered that I can't sing, thanks to a karaoke night in Leeuwarden...I am very grateful however that I had enough beer to hardly remember the evening...
Also I've expanded my own little library with loads of new fantasy books. I adore my George RR Martin's Artbook of a Song of Ice and Fire....amongst others, it was a second hand buy, but still I am so overjoyed to have been to get it.

Thanks ABC Amsterdam, I owe you!

Further the rpgs this year haven't really lasted except perhaps two Deep Blue Academy (2nd try) and Erewoord (Vow of Honour).Although DBA has died already it kept the spirit alive.
And Erewoord which is actually the sidestory to the original rpg is what keeps me drawing at the moment...I'll post Loth and Redbad up again...they are supposed to be one big poster idea but since they don't sell cheap scanners here I'll have to do with my HP...

Anyway that's about it for this year. The highlights and downfalls.
Besides I can't think of more.

And my top list of hunks for this year.

1) Richard Armitage...god that guy is so incredibly hot that he doesn't even realise it himself...just keep up the acting Rich! We love to see loads more of you!
2) Gerard Butler...his phantom version still gives me shivers and made half of my female colleagues swoon and sing or hum Music of the night! And thats something take it from me!
3) Still an all time favorite, my mister Darcy, no
not that new one of pride and prejudice, but the old darcy, the wet white shirt Colin Firth...
Whatever you say Keira was not meant for that role, she's too aggressive for that period...plus our little Lizzie had wit and Keira is still living off the glory days as Miss Swann...

Now the list of anime hunks: Yes we have those too!"
1) Kijin Houju - Saiunkoku Monogatari , although he doesn't appear much he and Reishin are a great couple for the comical effect, plus I have always loved masks...and his personality appeals a lot to me since he's the only one in the series that doesn't appear to be an idiot, selfish bastard or any stereo type kind.
2)Tomomasa - Harukanaru toki no naka de, he sighs, he's a womanizer and he likes sake...what does a girl want more? His voice is like pure silk and we adore the hair...no other anime char has hair like Tomomasa sama has!
3)Narssus - Heroic legend of Arislan , Painter, lover of art in all forms and with some decent sense of strategics instead of most characters who just dash into battle. Also the girl he more or less saves makes that they look like a cute couple...but mind you if he ends up in my male harem she will only serve us food and not get any nearer...muhahaha...

All right guys I am call it a night up to the last day of the year 2008...
And I wish you all a better year than I've had...

See you next year,
