Dumb Dutch... I suppose Dumb Humans...

So everyday I loose faith in humanity... I suppose.. well not so much... I think I have so much faith in it... that I cannot undertsnad why people do the terribly dumb things that they do... I want to trust everyone... and I can't understand why? Why the world is as it is!
Here in Holland the people live relativly great lives... Not a lot of poverty... the most low income people, are like the lower middle class of America... People just find reasons to do bad things... I don't know if this is making sense.. whatever... So all the bad asses in holland... well if you saw them you'd just laugh your ass off at them... as I often do! You have the pre pube boys running around with gelled back mullets... yes mullets... and leather jackets and such... It's so rediculous!I saw this kid in the store the other day who was obviously the dorkiest kid you've ever seen... His gelled back curly hair... snaggletoothed and all... with him leather jacket with Dolche and Gabbana written across it! I just couldn't help but chuckle a bit! But the sad thing is that these retarded children... who've had nothing bad ever happen to them... except maybe dad only gave him 25 euro's for allowance last week isntead of his usual 50, because he wouldn't do his chores... they are out on the streets getting in to fights... For example... last week... a nine year old was robbed of his 10 euros in the shopping center next to us... Theses teenagers pulled a knife out on him! I mean how much did they expect to get off a nine year old??? Just so stupid! And the area we live in... I bet no one makes under I'd say $70,000 a year! It's so stupid... they aren't prodects of bad upbringing's... or the need to do so to surrivive... no... They're just dumbass bored kids! I think it's so stupid! I mean... I know I don't know they're live stories.. but... come on! St. George has more poverty than the whole of Holland! So that's my rant of the stupid teenages.. I guess you find that anywhere... But I suppose I accept it of people in the Hood cause thats what you gotta do to survive... and they have poor upbringings and whatever... but these are kids with great lives comparably! So yeah... it's dumb!
Then my other thing,.... I hate how we're destroying the world.. some people... average peole like us... we realise it... but we dont know what to do about it... so we do little things to help... I mean I want to do all I can do! Yeah... more rambling thoughts... but anyway! So yeah this whole taking the polar bears off the endangered speices list! It's so greedy and dumb! I believe that the people who are fighting to tak ethem off, they know taht they are endangered... but because of greed for oil they don't care... And are thus willing to see a speicies die... for oil... for money... Sure... Polar bears probably aren't essential to the earth's movement.. but it's just like... when we know we can stop something... but we still go against what we know... for greed and money... I dunno.. it's just so imhumane... which is such and interesting thing to say... Inhumane... because we humans are the only creatures who do inhumane things... thus making this action... only human... it's a human like behavior... yeah anyway! I just hadthis rant in my head that I needed to share.. sorry if it makes no sense... sorry if you disagree... and sorry if I bored you outta your mind!

Oh I love a night out in Amsterdam!

So yesterday was my only day off this week... and it's been a long long week... so I did my very best to sleep the whole day away... I find it most productive... But 3 rolled around and I had to get out of bed... Martine and her sister were having a BBQ and I was invited! It was very nice... As always with her sister, very nice conversation... I like it when her sister comes over... She's very sweet. Anywho... then Tess text me... She had enough of being in her room for the day... I dunno why... I can stay in my room allllllll day... and not have a second thought about it! Anyway... So Albert Heijn, our favourite grocery store, ahs these 2-4-1 movie tickets that they're giving away as promotion... So Tess thought it a great idea to have her take me to the movies! I'm always game for the movies! So once I finished eating I hopped on the bike and flew to the train station! I mean like I literally flew! My slow time is 30 mins... my average time when I'm pushin it is 25... My time... cramps, just having eatin and all, 21! So yeah that was pretty good! So anyway! I didn't have money to buy a ticket... so I just ran straight up to the train.... and missed it... by a min... Well I got to sit and wait for the next train to come in 10 minutes, while a couple made out in front of me... I hate that! Hot guy making out with hot girl! Yuck! Slurp slurp! Yuck!
Well once my train came... I realised that... (A) I should try to avoid the conductor, having no ticket... and (B) I needed to go to the bathroom... so where better to hide than the WC! I was in there for a second... and it smelled so bad... as they always do! But I was a desperate girl! I needed to hide, and go... So I sat down... the breeze rushing through my butt crack... on the train you pull a lever... and the poop just goes out onto the tracks... yeah nice huh? So the toilet is always a bit breezy for you... it's an odd and kinda nice sensation.. anyway! So, well to forewarn you all... I have no shame.. we all poop... so I am about to talk more about pooping on the train... I mean not that much more... so if you don't want to read it... skip to the next paragraph, as I skip to the lou.... Anywho! So I was sitting there on the rocking train... I realised I hadn't... gone... for the day... and all that food and bike riding... got stuff moving... so I thought... what the heck I'm stuck on here anyway! But pooping on a train is a lot harder than you think... no it's not the small space.. Though feeling slightly nauseated and claustrophobic doesn't help... It's the seats just two feet away from your throne.. When I sat down... it wasn't so bad.. nobody was there... But by the next stop that changed... so I could hear, someone whistling... people giggling... and then the bustle of people getting on and off the train... I must tell you! It is really hard to perform under such pressure! Like really hard! So after 3 of my 5 stops... I managed to do my business... I usually enjoy the relief of it all leaving my body... but I so did not enjoy that! When I walked out, the laughing couple who... probably didn’t know I was in there, since I had been in there since before they got on... and they had been on for like 10 minutes... looked awkwardly at me... and I felt even more awkward then they could have ever felt! I exited the car stage left and entered into a new car... one that didn't know I had just spent the last 20 minutes hiding out slash doing my business in the tiny WC!
I met up with Tess in our usual spot in the station, at the Pain Bread shop.... Yes Pain... funny huh? We then went to the usual theater... and as usual... we got there at a most inconvient time... and nothing we really wanted to see would be playing for another hour... or had just started... But I being the dorky girl I am... and in need of some just dumb joy! Suggested we see Wild Child and then... it would be done with enough time to hop over to theater 1 for some Steve Carrel and... What’s that movie called... oh it was so good! Oh! Get Smart! Anyway! So that's what we did! Which don't fret! This is a usual routine for us... or I suppose... fret! This is a usual routine for us! But the tickets cost $15 and the theater is like a 15 theater cinema... so it's so easy to do! The movies were both so great! And we couldn’t have timed it any better! Once the credits began to roll on Wild Child we hopped over to theater 1... and Get Smart was just starting! Thank goodness the movies always start late here! Always!
So after the movie... we went to McDonalds to get some fries and a drink... well originally we were gonna get some ice cream... but then we decided against it...and just went for soda's and fries.... Well we ordered and the guy taking our order was a total douche! I asked him for a bag for the fries... and he gave us this giant bag then proceeded to put our drinks in a bag as well! And he wasn't just being helpful he was being a bit of a douche.. Well he gave us our stuff... then started to talk to the guy next to him... Tess had her money out.. and he didn’t take it... so we both just looked at each other... and walked out the door... Well he started calling after us... we just kept walking... but then I just had to stop... so we stopped and he was like you didn’t pay... and I was like... oh well I thought you were done with us... Whatever!
So we caught our trains and went home... But by the time I got to the train station.. It was 1230 am and rainy... so I opted for the bus... As I waited for the bus I read my book, yes I have finally started the last Harry Potter book... my emotions of the last book have settled... I've read 2 other books since... so yes I think I can handle it! Yeah so 20 minutes later when the last train rolled up... I was the only one to get on... The bud driver opened the door and said "Geode Naught, levered” which I know is so spelled wrong... but he said "Good Evening Sweetheart" He was a 30 something Moroccan... Which for anyone who's worked at Disney, that's all I need to say... But he was quite nice asked me where I was going.. And let me get on the bus... free of charge! Wahoo! I took a seat and we waited for the 2 minutes till he could leave... no one else got on... During the 2 minutes he asked me about my book... and where I was from... what I was doing here... the usual... then we drove off... Sometimes when I get on the bus like this... I wonder if I would have been safer on the bike! But he really did seem harmless... So anyway.. The whole way he talked to me and asked me questions... I wanted to read my book... but... I didn't really mind talking to him... We picked up a guy.. Who was obviously a bit tipsy... He talked with us a little.. but not much at all... drunk.... Then when it was time for him to get off the bus the bus driver offered to drop him off wherever he wanted... instead of just at the bus stop... so he dropped him off in the middle of the street! haha! My stop was only 2 more stops away... The bus driver said he was a nice guy... and he always liked to drop people off closer to their stops... so said he'd do the same for me... I was glad... cause I hate it... my house in right between the 2 stops... so it's kinda annoying... When I got off he told me I was so beautiful... then he asked to shake my hand.. I let him.. then he asked to kiss my hand.. whatever.. I let him... then he asked for a kiss... I was feeling friendly! What the heck! So I leaned in to give him a nice peck on the cheek! He moved in for a kiss on the mouth! I manoeuvred and missed kissing his lips! haha! I got off the bus... He said he could tell I was such a wonderful person.. blah blah blah... and he asked me to come give him a hug... I giggled sweetly and said no... YEAH RIGHT! I wasn't gonna get back on that bus! He shrugged waved goodbye.. and drove off! As my umbrella broke! haha! I just couldn't help but laugh! It was all so funny! Don't worry! I was ok! Made it to my house ok...and went to sleep! So yeah... there's my really really long blog... you guys haven’t had a good Becky Blog in a while! So I hope you enjoyed it!
I love the strange happenings of Amsterdam!

sorry...

So my comp is being retarded! So I'm gonna go to bed and finnish posting in the morning... Sorry to make you wait even longer! But I did change my profile pic on here... and if you have myspace and facebook I posted a couple on there... ok nighty night!

Photo Shoot Extravaganza! (don't know if I spelt taht right... didnt spell that right though)

So Yeah I thought that while my photo's loaded up to photobucket.com to make you all a slide show... I would blog... So Tess and I have been short on cash lately... let's make that.. ultra short! Since we're planning our trip to Paris and London with Rachael, and the newly added Laura (my sister) yes. Yes we have been penny pinching to the 9... Well aside from the exploration last week, or the week before, to the Alkmaar Cheese Market... but that was kinda a special thing... so we give ourselves the excuses we'd like... and we'd like you all to accept them too! haha! So anyway... So this weekend we we're sitting bored as ever... with nothing to do and chatting with each other online for a couple hours... That's when I got the bright idea to do a photo shoot! I wanted to go to the Beach... but it was too late for that... and I suspected rain... so I suggested the graveyard and windmill in the Centrum of Hoofddorp... So around 3:30pm Tess showed up.. we beautified ourselves and headed out to the shoot... by bike... well... Tess her hair as you will see in the pictures, held up really well! Mine... Did not... but oh well! Anywho! It was pretty fun! I know it's kinda bad to be on tombstones... but... I wouldn't care... honestly... cause it's your body... not you... so anywho... Don't judge me.. We only choose the graves because of their beauty.. it was really cool... I really like old cemetaries... this one had old ones and some not so old ones... I of course like the dirtier more broken down stones... So we made art with them... Sheesh! It's gonna be a while before the photo's load! It's taking forever! So yeah...
Well aside from that I'm in an emotional breakdown... but holding up really.. I just hate everyone and everything! haha! Don't worry! I probably don't hate you.. I mean maybe... but no... I promise I don't... I don't really hate anyone... I'm just frustrated with some! So yeah! '
I just want to go to sleep... it's only 8:55pm... and I took a 5 hour nap today! I think it's the weather.... all day Pooh Bear was saying "Tut tut it looks like rain!" But poor Pooh Bear... it never did... just a thick, thick layer of clouds stretching as far as the eye can see.. and very little wind.. well no that's a lie... it's always windy... I mean maybe I just complain a lot... well yeah I do that too... but I think it's EXTRA windy in Hoofddorp! Martine says it is cause this all used to be a lake and they built the town over it! Or maybe I just don't notice it at Tess's... cause I'm not carrying groceries and children in a little trailer behind my back.. totalling at least 100+ lbs! When the wind isn't blowing... it's like whatever... but with that extra weight... it's killer... But I've been getting a lot stronger! I can tell I'm building muscles! And I've lost a bit more weight! So yeah... I'm tired... OH!
I don't know if I put this before... I don't think so... So the last family I lived with... Tess Tell Merium already if you haven’t! Anyway... I've been talking to the older kids a little bit online... and Melvin the 9 year old... he told me that they really missed me.... And that the last Au pair was no fun, she never played with them... couldn't speak English or Dutch.... Cried all the time... and then STOLE Michella's birthday money and went home! Terrible huh? I really do think it's awful! The kids are so great... but I won't lie... it makes me feel better about myself,... and they must think better of me now.. I suppose they just wont ever have an au pair... maybe they'll get one.. but I dunno... that would be rough... first me then her... so yeah... but I do feel bad they do need the help... But yeha whatever... So Melvin wants me to come visit him some weekend.. I will I just told him to set a time and I'll come... I think it will be fun... I hope not too awkward! So I'm gonna get off now... and maybe if the internet is only going to the loading of pics it will happen faster! Okie... that's all! Enjoy the pics! And tell me what you think honestly! Don't just say they're all pretty... I'll number them so you can say what ones your fave and least fave!

I have not blogged a lot lately...

I havent blogged much lately so Í am here to shower you with my awesome blogging abilities! Which I know you were all quite aware of it's awesomness... So to begin... If you'd liek to blog like me you must first blog how you have nothing much to say... So yeah...
"There is a great void in my mind for things to find to blog about... For this I find great sorrow..."
Then add some more impressive and though provoking "...'s" and something interesting pops into you head!
"... I might have to write something interesting for you... ... ... ... ... Oh so the other day... wel last weekend... Tess and I wnet to see Dark night... and as Tess said we made it a double feature... So we were both saying goodbye at Amsterdam Central Station and this old man came to me... Just after I left Tess... and said to me... in a skeezy... foreign.. not to say foreign is skeezy... just that he was foreign and skeezy... anywho! He says to me 'Yes, I like your ass.. and your breast, they are very nice... I like you very much' he says under his breath as I walk past him... I though... 'Walk quickly and don't make eye contact!' A night which I am greatful that they check tickets at the gates..."
Then I might go into something else intriging about Thijs, Jet or Martine....
"Jet is so stinkin' funny! She is going to be tow in October.. but I swear she is far, FAR more inteligent then most 2 year olds you know... She has a very good sense of humor... like she really understands it! And knows when she's being funny and what not... Like the other day she was crackin Martine and I up... and we were laughing so hard! Then we started talking and she kept doing it over and over again... and we werent paying attention to her.. so she says in Dutch 'Everyone Laugh!!!' It was so funny taht we of course began to laugh even more!"
Then I might say soemthing about why I have to stop this blog...
"Man my back is killing me! I made dinner for the sister missionaries tonight... It was quite tasty and sweet of them to coem and visit... not to mention sweet of me to make them soem AWESOME enchillada's... But I am just so tired! And Tess should be here anytime! Martine is outta town again... and Tess got tomorrow night off! So sweet! We're gonna hang out tonight! Sheesh my back hurts!"
So yeah taht would be a genuine Becky Blog and Becky Blog format... I hope you enjoyed it! So if you'd like to be as cool as me you can also use this format... But of course don't forget you "...'s" and add in some odd sounding sentences that make you want to re-read it... not for shere enjoyment... but for reasons of not understanding it the first time!

Hey at least I spell checked it! ... well so my spell check doesn't wanna work.. sorry man.

Such sadness and joy!

So Let's start with the sad stuff...

Last night I finished reading the 6th book of Harry Potter, The Half Blood Prince... And I'll give you all a warning that I'm about to talk about the book! So if you haven't read it and you don't want to hear about it Skip the whole Purple paragraph!!!

So I really thought the book was great! But then came the last 80 pages... which is what i read last night! It was so depressing! I hated that Snape turned out to be bad! Of course through out the whole series you think he is bad... Then you are so reassured by Dumbledore that he is good... That you finally begin to think he's really good! Then at the beginning of the book, the 6th one, he is making a deal with Malfoys mom... and you're like what... he's gotta be bad.. but no! He's gotta be good and just doing this so you think he's bad... I know I know... that's how the book was written to be.... And while reading I thought... you know even if Snape is bad I will still like him... cause I just like his character.... But then to go and kill Dumbledore!!! That is inexcusable! I would have gotten over it if he killed Harry... But Dumbledore who trusted him so! I just cannot forgive him for that... and yes I get it! He's a fictional character... But I, like Dumbledore learned to put a lot of trust in him... and then he does this!!! So Now I don't even want to read the 7th book! I seriously don't! Of course I will... But I don't want to! I'm gonna wait a week I think... Maybe I'll read Bridget Jones... I dunno. So there you go!

Back to black... or whatever color this is... So yeah! Exciting news! Rachael my bestest friend is coming to visit Tess and I in October! She'll be here for 3 weeks, arriving on the first! Just in time for my birthday !!! I'll be an official old person... eek! 24! Yeah so while she's here we'll be going to London and to Paris! I"m really excited! Tess and i have a time table laid out for money and such.... This last weekend we got out train tickets to London... and in another 2 weeks we'll be booking our spots on the tour of Paris! Where we'll get to reinstate our geekyness and see Disneyland Paris for a second time! So yeah! I"m really excited about it all!!!!

Well I really have to be off! I have to go pick up my bike at the train station! I spent the weekend with Tess and when I got back to the train station on Sunday night... It was dark and pooring! And I had nothing! So I took the bus home! So now I have to ride the bus to the station and take the bike back home... and I need to do this within the next hour or so! So yeha! I gotta go!!!!
