Hey all!
This is just a short blog for the week, ive been very busy!
im getting used to my internship, although its still very hard. especially when someone tries to tell you something, but because they have trouble speaking you can hardly even understand what they say,w hile you know they are completely clear on a mental level. It makes me feel guilty alot, but in the last week ive got to know some more clients. one of them even painted himself as the joker hehe, its pretty awesome!
On thursdays there was a party at my internship, and it was amazing to see how much the clients were having fun, and if you didnt know, people CAN dance in wheelchairs 
I had no break, and i worked from 12 pm - 9 pm, which was alot without a break, kept on running and working all day.
I also had to dance, cus it was a huge party and everyone had to do something. I brought an orange wig and sunglasses, and later i had to dance with 3 others as a background dancer while a client was singing a song. It was like the most simple dance, but nice to do! afterwards he gave me a rose lol, great and funny man XD he knows sascha and me are friends and he has fun talking about that to us hehe. sascha also came at the party in the evening, and we danced which was pretty funny
cus i NEVER dance! but that was cool. Next day i had to get up at 6am, and work again. i didnt go to aikido cus i was just too tired!
Yesterday sascha came over, we had some fun and then went to the funfair and went to some awesome stuff! we really got our adrenaline kicks. I also did this game with a water beam, but i didnt win, and i still got a fluffy lion! a small one, but he was soooo cute!
On the way home sascha got a flat tire, and we walked for 45 minutes on the way to home. It was pretty funny except the scary parts in town...we do have some really nasty places youd ont want to walk alone at night...
I also picked up my joker poster that day, which looks awesome!
Next week were gonna do a test round for halloween and test our clothes and makeup, so that will be fun...
i hope you all have a good week
take care! xx

Hey all!
Hope you are all doing fine :) i started school officially this week, everyone still having holidays is VERYY lucky
On monday and tuesday i had normal lessons. I was pretty tired form them even though we didnt even spend the whole day at school, i really had to get used to everything agian!
Also on tuesday at aikido, someone stepped on my hair while i was rolling after being thrown away, so suddenly i kept on rolling and he stood on my hair and SNAP! i just lost so much hair! i was kind of shocked how much i found on the mat LOL. havent founda ny bald spots (yet, haha) so i think it was pretty funny. i would probably think of it differently if i had lost more hair hehe
On wednesday i had my day off, so i spent some time in amsterdam, and i bought a joker poster, joker dvd with card game, batman shirt.
I also received my joker shirt on saturday, which i was really happy with! its a men's shirt actually, size M, so its like a dress to me, but it rocks! i love wearing it, his face is huge hehe just like on the poster :)
Also on saturday i had Saschas birthday party, it was ALOT of fun. I was quite tipsy and had lots of laughs about anything really, we were only with 5 of us but i can imagine the neighbours thought there were 20 hehe, we also held a little screaming contest, watched photos, played some silly games and such, it was great!
On thursday i started my internship. It was really scary, i had never been in contact with handicapped people before. We met colleagues at first, and when they started to talk about what was gonna happent hat day i really chickened out. We had a little tour through the building, and after that we stayed downstairs to emet the clients. They are all handicapped people, but just physically. They understand you perfectly fine, which makes it hard really. There can be so much wrong on the outside, in a disturbing way some even look funny, but its not funny at all, its kinda sad how hard it is for some clients to live their lives, being imprisoned in their body. Slowly i got to meet many, some i was scared of approaching, but turned out to be really nice anyway.
Its hard when you dont understand a person, because they cant talk at all or talk really in a hard way. i felt so stupid for not understanding simple things, emotionally its a really hard job i guess. Ive only experienced two days so far, so i hope things will go better in time. second day already went better than the first gladly!
Today i went to see The Dark Knight for the 3rd time, in an IMAX cinema. Man, it was AWESOME! I still cant get enough of this movie, especially in IMAX everything looks truly amazing, the sound is immense and the screen is huge! i went there with eefje and sascha, and sascha might join me for a 4rd time seeing the movie she also really liked it =D
After she show was over i walked in Amsterdam a bit, and i saw this purple coat and i bought it XD
Well that was this week kinda. I really ahve to get used to all the travelling, which takes me 1 - 1,5 to get there or to get back. I shoudl also be getting my 2nd Joker poster next week when i have guitar lessons again, YAY!
and ohhh Down from the sky! I guess we all heard the radio stream, man isnt it amazing! the preview of the video looked great aswell, im so excited about everything XD i cant wait!
anyway, take care all, love you all :)

Hey all!
Its been a pretty weird time since i came back, i only came back last week's wednesday, but it feels like ive been back for so long, ive done alot in this week!
On thursday i watched The Dark Knight for the second time, with Annelotte. She thought it was amazing and i was still soo stunned by it, i love it! as you probably know by now hehe. On friday sascha came over, we had alot of fun doing random things
and we decided we might have some halloween party on friday the 31 of october. We dont have Halloween here, but were gonna have a fun night anyway. So i decided to test the makeup i had to see if i could make a good joker, it turned out pretty cool, i kinda scared myself at the end of the day looking at the pictures haha!
Im REALLY obsessed with his character, love all the quotes and his philosphy behind his not always so good deeds, but damn i love it!!
im trying to get my friend to go again tonight maybe, i hope she will come with me hehe.
On sunday me and my parents joined sas on the boat, we laughed SO much that day! had alot of fun on the boat, and after that we went out for dinner, which was really nice too, i love juicy steaks!
On monday i went to Amsterdam by myself. I bought a real dragonball (well not real, but like, made of glass with 3 stars in it) and it looks really awesome. it was 20 euros, which is pretty cheap cus ive seen dragonballs somewhat the same and they were 50 euros! so expensive. I also bought another item, a scouter, they use it in the series aswell
im a real dragonball geek hehe!
i also got to a party shop, and they had one hell of a SCARY Heath ledger's joker mask! i was amazed on how real it was, i would have bought it , but it was 75 euros! thats just a little too much for me...
in another shop i bought the Dark Knight soundtrack, which is amazing. i got a booklet with it and cards with pictures on it. :D
Thursday i went to sascha, and we really spent all day fooling around doing crazy stuff, throwing fluffy animals, headbanging, doing crazy stuff, anythign really! it was alot of fun XD on the way home i had this REALLY creepy guy doing this ^^ in the bus at me, i wsa disgusted, put in my earplugs and watched out the window haha. he was old and creepy, brr why dont i ever get the nice n cute ones?
OH well, today was my first day of school again. all we did was just get information really, gladly! i have a day off on wednesday, thats really nice. But thursday i start my internship...3 days eveyr week. im really nervous for it, i just hope it all goes good.
and im really pissed off, cus i ordered a shirt with the Joker's face on it, and or it will arrive today so i can pick it up tomorrow, or it arrives on monday whcih i wont like cus it will take a long time before i can pick it up :( i just hope it arrives today, im so obsessed :d
