Hey all!

This has been a fun and busy month for me, so far! On Friday the 16th I went together with *Isamith and another friend to the VNV Nation gig in Eindhoven. It was really great, although to my opinion it was a bit too crowded and the singer talked too much. I'm not too fond on all this talking and demands as: 'hands in the air' and 'shout' :giggle: I think I'm more of a club/party person where one has some space to dance. I hate this pushing and bumping into each other all the time at concerts. It's just that I'm too small and fragile for such things :blush: But overall it was a nice experience and I definitely had a lot of fun :nod:

Then, on the 18th, together with *sturm the three of us took of to Venice for a small week.
We've seen the Biennale, a very big and important (at least that's what they keep telling me at the academy) art exhibition. The three of us weren't that impressed though. Most works we didn't find that special or original. I see myself becoming more and more critical towards most contemporary art forms: there's not much that is really 'new' anymore or well-done in technical sense. I just see not much concentration or joy in many works being made nowadays. Call me old-fashioned, but for me these things are important to catch my interest and admiration! There were a few exceptions though, like some of the installations in the Russian pavilion. They left me wondering because they carried out a strange atmosphere and made me walk into unknown, different worlds. I think art doesn't have to be difficult to understand or provoking as some people say. It must give me a feeling of curiosity, it must appeal to me even though I can't explain why -and it must leave at least something to the imagination. I don't think one has to be extremely intelligent to understand -or like a piece of art. I don't like works that need too much explanation. Of course some information can 'add' something extra to it, but it shouldn't be necessary. True art speaks for itself.

So we enjoyed the city most of all. Venice is so beautiful, but one should bring a good pair of waterproof shoes, because sometimes parts of the city were flooded by the rising water.
I liked the many small alleys, getting away from the more touristic-zone. We've seen many mask-shops keeping us busy for more then one day! At the end all of us found ourselves a mask we didn't see in the other shops we visited before. Maybe some photo's of them will be uploaded soon, by *Isamith, *sturm or me :)

Yesterday night we came home happily, satisfied -but also tired after a very long drive with many obstacles on the way. Unfortunately I also became ill and now have to stay in bed. On the bright side I have a laptop at hand and a loving, caring boyfriend who makes sure I have everything I need.

Temporarily defeated, but hopefully in better condition soon,

:blowkiss:

To me dreaming is just as much an important aspect of my life as the things I perceive when awake. As a child I already lingered in this dim zone, where I had to constantly ask myself what was real or not. Most of the time I remember my dreams very clear and every morning I write them down in a special diary. They inspire me to make drawings as well, resulting into frightening, funny and/or romantic images.
I also enjoy photographing the world around me. I feel much attracted to fragility, decay, darkness and the play of light and shadow.
I am a shy, melancholic, cynical person who enjoys a lot of life, but can also be terribly critical and demanding -to myself most of all. Nevertheless I can be easily satisfied with a kiss of my love, a friendly smile, watching the sunset or a small child throwing itself full of happiness in the arms of his/her grandparents, listening to the sound of bats when flying by (although people keep telling me it isn't possible to hear), the smell of an old and dusty book, eating chocolate, baking cakes and cookies or just listening to my favorite music...
Furthermore I'm interested in art, history, psychology... love animals, forests, mountains, castles, traveling...
