Hey you,
first off, wishing everyone a very happy New Year and I hope that 2009 is everything and more for you.
The camping trip wasn't actually so bad, I thought it was going to be awkward because my German friend was bringing along two of her german friends whom I've never met before and they both turned out to be male and older than me, but they were surprisingly funny and not really that gross.  Which is shocking when it comes to boys I know.

But yeah today was good but then ended up getting pretty bad.

The hard drive on my mac book is gone.  Wiped.  IE my bloody laptop and life line won't start up and I think I've lost everything.  Uni application stuff, personal pictures, music, work and all of these drafts that I've been working on over the past month.  So I've had to steal Dad's mac book pro for the time being which isn't so bad but still, I want my baby up and running! Dad thinks that it's going to be ok, and that my computer just can't recognise the start up programs and it can't locate them or something along those lines, he's hoping my work is still on my laptop and I pray to god that he is right.

So yeah, baby is going to the IT shop tomorrow to get fixed whilst mum is taking me to the ice cream shop for comfort food.

I feel so lost with my laptop.  That is pretty sad really.

I was going to post more icons but they aren't on my photobucket yet and with the hard drive spams I guess it'll have to wait a while.

I'll be back soon, hopefully

Hey there everyone.

today was once again a very ordinary and boring day in the life of Nina. Mum woke me up early insisting that I do some work but then asked me to go and do the shopping with her. Pretty blatant which of the two I chose.
In the afternoon we went to the beach again, I'll put some pictures up tomorrow or something, whenever I find my camera lead.

So I've decided I'm going to be posting some of my icons on here. I spend way too many nights on photoshop so I might as well share.

So yeah I'll start with my favorite ones - 20 x Ashlee Simpson.
( icons are HERE )</div>
So yeah.  That's those posted for now.
Other stuff today involved Mum totally bashing me again about my lack of 'passion for french' especially as I'll be doing it at uni and all that scadoo.  This is why I don't ask her to get involved in school stuff.  She just messes everything up, nice of her to tell me her doubts about my further education AFTER I've applied to my five unis.  Bah.  She can bug right off.

Ok rant over.  I'm off to make some Prison Break icons and try not to fall asleep again.

 BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
I hope you all had a great day.  Did everyone get what they wanted?

Christmas in my family this year was a small affair, the rest of our family is back home in Germany so this year it was just my mum dad brother and me which is actually a welcome change.  By German tradition you spend the 24th as a family then on the 25th you have a massive lunch with one set of grandparents and then on the 26th a massive lunch with the other set of grandparents, then you're off the hook until after New Year when pretty much the same procedure is repeated.  

( it goes on )

 Well today has been.... interesting dare I say.

Mum was feeling off most of this morning so I took my brother down to the beach to get out of the before he got total cabin fever.  I've now quite literally toasted and seem to have a very very different skin color than before.  Serves me right I guess for being lax with the sun cream really.  Oh well better red than pasty white.

So yeah the interesting part of the day happened about two hours ago.

Went to the mall with Dad to get some last minute food shopping under before everything breaks down into chaos tomorrow and before Dad went mental in the grocery section, we decided to check out this new ice cream shop.  Coldstone I think it's called, but I've already forgotten.  So anyway all was fine at first, I chose mango sorbet and lemon sorbet and then the odd thing happened, the ice cream man scooped teh ice cream out of the vat using some silver things that looked like mini paddles.  Then he took the ice cream to the marble counter and plopped it down before bashing it about and putting rainbow sprinkles in the middle and then bashed it some more so the different flavors mixed and were in one great ball of mango/lemon sorbet ice cream.  Watching this person mush up balls of ice cream on a marble counter has to be one of my holiday highlights so far.

So yeah German Christmas tomorrow Yay! Mum and me are sending my brother and dad out to play football so we can wrap their presents.  Subtle mum, really subtle.  It's not like my brother believes in 'Santa' anyway.  He's one of those annoyingly bright nine year olds that figures everything out.  The Easter bunny idea was murdered by him two years ago.  Bah.

Right I promised my brother that I'd watch Camp Rock with him.  I'm way cool like that.

 Hey you,
so here is me thinking I'd finally start a blog or something like that, I love the writing and I like to think that my life is interesting enough to write about.  Sorry to disappoint if you don't think the same way.

So the name's Nina.  17 years of age.  German parents but Canadian by birth place.  I go to boarding school in the North of England but during the holidays I split my time between the Middle East and Germany.  Where exactly isn't important really.  

Right now I'm about half way through my christmas holidays and it's gone way too quickly for my liking, it really has.  I'm flying back to school on sixth of January and that prospect is a little daunting to be honest.  I should be doing all this work for school but keep putting it to one side.  I have such a bad work ethic I really do.  I meant to be revising for my Religious Studies re-take but that revision is non-existent.  Oh well if worst comes to worst I can re-take the re-take.

On another note it's Christmas soon.  Being German has the distinct advantage that Christmas presents are opened on the evening of the 24th and not in the morning of the 25th.  I couldn't resist yesterday and went looking for the presents.  As every year my parents hid them on the top shelf of their wardrobe.  They really need to get some originality before my nine year old brother finds out too.

Prison Break calls.
xoxo
Nina
