About
I'm back! The oldies on the site will know me as Rawr.Rawr.x! I decided to change my name on here though so it is the same on all of my social sites. I won't be posting regularly because of time constraints, but I will be on here occasionally!

PS your new hair cut looks awesome
I always want to go to Summer Breeze in Germany, or Wacken Open Air, but is not easy to go with a train to a festival.
I always buy my music merch online or at Graspop, most on these sites:
http://www.nuclearblast.de/de/shop/index.html
www.large.be
No one know anything from metalbands here in this town I live, the only place where you can buy it here is at the coast which is more than 3hours from here.
But what do you want from merch?
Maybe I can look for it when I go to Amsterdam within 2 weeks.
We have a lot of festivals in Belgium
What's your favourite band(s)?
I want to post on the Swap Request board about our Personal Swap! so I can show off all the cool stuff you sent me! haha :] I didn't realize you already published most of them in your projects until now but I already took all the pics and stuff so i'm gonna do it anyways ^_^ hope mine comes sooooooooooooon!!!!!
btw, I want to reiterate how wonderful everything you made is. I absolutely LOVE the Cat Charm Bracelet.. I don't usually wear them that much but it is so precious and perfect to me I want to wear it all the time especially when I dress up ;] the green heart box is absolutely perfect too. my boyfriend's dad recently made me me a shelf all for my crafts stuff (it's awesome) and I needed something exactly like this box to put all my jewelry in! i'll take a pic one day soon of my shelf and post it somewhere so everyone can see it and see their projects sitting on my special craft shelf ^_^. The little bug in a box is one of the greatest surprises ever too. I immediately remembered you telling me about the extra gift you were throwing in that you had as a child but haven't seen in years. haha and felt the same way. shoot, thinking about it hardcore I don't think I've seen one since I was younger than 10? 10 years! that was a decade ago!.. has it really been that long? time does really fly by and seeing that thing has really sunk in with me. Life is truly interesting.. the way things work out that way. Just try to enjoy whatever youth you have left because you only get less freedom and more responsibilities as you get older. and it only becomes more difficult. not that i'm that much older than you but I wish now that I would have not worked so much and just enjoyed that little bit of teenage youth I had left even when I was 18. but I think I'll always just be a kid at heart. hahah oh goshhh so sorry to rant off. >,<
BUT I havee to tell you also that: you sent some incredibly interesting teas that I think I'm going to love alot :], I love the Astros bites but not so much the Chomps :x I do like the fruity gum and I have yet to try the Carmello Bear. The Heart Brooch is very pretty too. Emerald is my birth stone and this is really close to it I think it will look lovely one of my fav purses! The South Africa 2010 world cup sticker is an awesome souvenir. The little beach in a bottle is super cute. Its so cute I already have them on my keys the button stud earrings are really adorable too and I know I will be wearing those suckers quite a few times ;] BUT can we talk about the wire "Love" necklace???! I love that thing!!! and you gave it to me!! That's so freaking cool of you. I really do "love" it haha. I have been wearing it since I got it :p lol I even fell asleep with it on and it's still perfectly perfect. Everything is perfectly perfect. You did such a fantastic job on it all. ahhhh!! I told you before I could NOT express it enough. Thank you soo much girl it really means alot! I really hope you like the things I made you too. I am SO sorry for this entirely way too long post.. but I HAD to tell you how I felt about everything and I rather it here than FB lol.
Well, take care girl!! YOU THE SHIT!! (really hope you don't mind the profanity >.<)
<3 <3 <3
<3
I do the same thing when I send e-mails. I get really impatient with the send button and end up sending the same e-mail five times...
Your hair is really cool btw. I hope mine turns out like that! (blue though)
I just wanted to tell you how my boyfriend found an anime he was interested in and asked me to watch it with him.. it ended up being Elfen Lied!! omggg haha what an insane one that one is. I like it for the most part.. but the whole Kohta and Yuka cousin love thing just weirded me out alot :x but other than that it is pretty awesome. we watched all 13 episodes in like 2 days lol
any word on the package arriving to your house yet? Yours still hasn't made it here yet :/ I can't till it does thooo! hehe
well, take care!! have lots of fun and be safe!! <3
...but anyway, i wanted to kinda say hi
thanks!
sorry that my answer s coming so late, but i was in france with freinds for two weeks and we hadn t any internet.
yes, i can understand that... i ll ask tobi where he want to go to.
sorry, i m a little bit tired, so my english is horrible, today.
how are you?
i just wanted to say, that a friend of mine (his name s tobi) wants to go to south africa next school year. i can t tell you the name of the city where he went, yet, but he said that there it is pretty normal, that if you hit somebody with your car, you just let him or her on the road...
i think nobody says in the morning 'yeah! i m going to school today! jippie!'. not the people, who say that you have to be proud of your school, either...
yes, i think we could be lucky. but why the schools with uniforms are thinking, that the other schools (without them) are worse?
i can t imagine how it would be, if everybody have to dress the same and musn t colour the hair or musn t have pircings... so many people at my school are punks or emos or what ever... they would have a big problem. we are an art school and everybody looks different. if that wouldn t be like that, it would be strange.
btw. sorry for my terrible language, but i just woke up and i m still sleepy *O*
they look so funny.
we don t have them here, everybody can colour his or her hair like he or she wants.
i can t belive, that there are schools wehe you musn t do that. i mean nobody concern what you are doing in your freetime or how you look like.
that s so silly...
at our school some girls just wear hot pants, abra and a crochet top in summer and nobody says something (btw there you can see really everything...).
sometimes some teacher (like our french teacher) say something, like "in britain nobody would let you in with these 'clothes'!" or one time a teacher said to a girl "dress something on! you look like a hooker!"... that was extreme...
we ve got schools like that, too, we call them europaschulen.
i m living in a village (nobody (except the people who live here) can write the name of it right xD) near a little town and a bigger town.
i needn t to drive to school by train or bus, because we ve got schools at our village. the people who come to our school are from all around the setting.
in germany our school system s pretty much different than the other in other countrys.
we ve got 4 years basic school, you start there with 6 years.
then after that we ve got the three secondary schools: gymnasium, realschule and hauptschule.
if you were verry good at basic school, you go at gymnasium. if you were okay or good, you go at realschule and if you were not so good, you go at hauptschule.
i m at a gymnasium. we ve got 8 years and our system is much stricter that in other countrys. our graduation (the abitur) s the catchiest in whole europe... (and i can tell you, that that sucks, because our teachers always act like 'oh, if you don t pass the gymnasium than you ll land under a bridge'... -.-*)
at realschule you ve got 6 years (my friends, who are there make their graduations right now) and the hauptschüler have 9 years.
how is your system in africa?
i made the experience that english people are verry nice and polite... i m thinking about the queue in front of the buses in london ^^
me and my friends were very confused that nobody scrambles or hit each other xD
where did you live?
i think today nobody would ever follow a person like hitler as blind as the people did it in the past. i don t want to defend them when i said the thing with the economic crisis, but i think it s an explanation why it had become so bad, as it did.
i understand why much people, also today, don t like germans, but the only thing i think, which s stupid, is that they think even my generation is responsible for that, what happened in ww2. even my grandma was a child when the war started. even she didn t vote for the nazis. and consequently my generation and my parents ones couldn t do anything for or against this horror which happened.
btw. my little sister was in england with an exchange and some boys said hello with the hitler salute, she was very sad after that, because for us it s like if you say 'fuck you!'...
i mean:
today most people hate nazis but IN 1945 there were more people who belived in ADOLF HITLER.
hitler got his power at a time (1933) when germany had a big slump, because of the economy. many people had no work and no mony. if you have big poblems, you got very gullible and you search a black sheep, who is responsible for your misery. so the humans belived hitler when he said that he would change everything and that the jews are the one to blame for.
but there were also people who sussed him. like sophie scholl and her brother.
yes, sadly there are nazis in germany today. but not many. we also have a party in our politics. they call themselve npd (nationaldemokratische partei deutschlands). they are all such idiots xD
they don t get many votes and if they say anything the other partys make luch break.
nobody who s intelligent take them seriously:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lWcSFykN2Y
in the video they speak about the 'problems' of nazis in their every day life, like that they cant get any social contacts (telephone), they can t be sportif (boxing), they can t go inside an elevator without cutting their arm off. poooooooor nazis ^^ they need our insight and our motivation so that they feel themselve useful (like as clothesline holder).
i think most poor people do stupid things like that because they can see no escape from their sad existence. and so i think the rich ones should help them a fortior.
i hate racism, too. the people who i don t like the most are nazis. they are just stupid and they can t learn from the past.
but i also don t like it if people say to me that i am a nazi, because i am german.
okay, germany did a lot of mistakes in its history, but today it isn t like in 1945.
we speak about everything which happend in the 2. ww. if it is in films ('die welle', 'schindlers liste', 'sophie scholl',...), in books ('als hitler das rosa kanninchen stahl', 'paulas katze', 'warten bis der frieden kommt', '...und im fenster der himmel',...) or at school. all people here are knowing the horrible pictures of the dead bodys in the concentration camps and which happend to them before their dead.
yes, there are lots of stupid humans in these world.
yes, it s horrible how many poor people are in africa, but in other third-world-countrys, too.
for example, my mum went to sri lanka with an charity organisatio. the people there are poor, too, but they are so happy, even without mony.
i also really don t understand why south africa s so rich and the rest around isn t...
we saw a film at school, it was terrible! the people were all so bony and looked so helpless.
when the climate warming will be worse, these people ll pay for the mistakes of the human being. poor people who have done half as much as the rich ones for this disaster.
okay, i have to admit, that i also thought of the little mud huts when i read that you live in africa xD
a friend of mine went to africa with an helping organisation from the church and she showed me pictures of the 'typical africa'.
30C° WTF????? okay, i would die there ^^
i just can speak german (naturally), french, english, a bit italian (the half of my family s from there) and german sign language.
here in germany it rains.... :/
okay, it is may, we have enough time till the 'real summer' starts
then there are the same teperatures as in england.
one question: why are you living in africa? are the people speaking english in your town or village or what ever?
i can t imagine living anywhere else than in germany.... if i have to chose where i would live (exempt germany) i would say england or italy.
my hairs were just black for a while and the most people think either way that i am an emo.
my parents don t allowed me 2nd earrings... i don t want to know what they would say to pircings :/
i think they all accrete again and they don t stay for ever as tatoos... (except tunnels).
okay, i will!
the only difference between you two is, that she has got some pircings and her hair colour changes every week from green to pink, from pink to rainbow and so on...
thanks for your comment!
btw: you look like a friend of mine, her name is amy ^^
thanks for the fave on my shirt!
there's just soo much creativity here :o
I see you are from England. I have wanted to visit it for ages; the houses on the country side sound like marvels. (I am studying to be a sustainable architect, but crafting is one of my major hobbies.)
By the way, your "I LOVE" list is adorable. I might do something similar--thanks for the inspiration!
I am elated to start using this site; it has some of the best jewelery projects I have ever seen.
I just browsed some of your projects; I covet that Pirate Queen Bracelet--you have fantastic charms in your craft collection.
And, I'm only new to getting an account.
Been coming on the site and looking up recipes and tutorials for like a year now. =]
I love your barely there bracelet - how did you make it?
