A Dutch article about the ‘star girl’ I’ve just come across reminded me of the big uproar she caused a few months ago and also showed how short-living it was for us and how nightmarishly long is must feel to her.

haha looks like there’s slowly building a list of ‘forbidden’ words – I know someone who’s allergic to the word ‘dude’ 😛
I’m getting extremely proud of my book collection on the subject (and with some rare ones included!); expect a new review today or so!
finally, looking forward to reading about your new tattoo – may it be a good sitting for you!
