Wow. I was so surprised to see your smiling face pop up in the activity stream. Great comment you made in Charles F's discussion thread, too. I couldn't have said that better myself, and I can be pretty articulate when I want to be. :-)

Once in a while I have been asked about who my favorite person was in the Belgian "crew" {usually based on the YouTube videos, ofc} and I've always replied that you were my favorite - which always shocks people; and some will even ask, "Who is she!?"  lmao  Others will sometimes boo & hiss at me, and disagree with me, to which I pretend to be upset & defensive and tell them, "Hey! Don't be talkin' bad about my Twinklybird! She's the best of the whole bunch! and the cutest, too!"  :-D

Anyway - just thought you might appreciate a word of appreciation from a true fan. I really do think you're the cutest and the funniest of the Leysen's.  :-)   Hope to see you around more often!

Second Blog - Going Out

Posted on February 5, 2009 at 2:30pm 10 Comments

So... After staying in for an entire month due to the exams, I finally caved in and agreed to meet with a friend yesterday night. Boy oh boy, how I wished for the exams again...



I had the worst time ever. I drove all the way from godforsaken Bonheiden to Mechelen to meet up with her and all she did was talk about herself. Now, I don't really mind people talking about themselves, I don't like to talk about myself too much, so I gladly listen to other people's problems and try to help… Continue

Hey everyone,



This is just a short announcement for the YouTube clips I'll be making from now on. They'll mostly be about stuff we discuss on the forums as well as what's going on in the world and just things I wanna talk about. I'd love to get some feedback on it, constructive or other, everything's welcome :) Although I do prefer the first of the two...

Anyway, please check it out and let me know what you think.

My channel's called Twinklybird and I've got 4 clips up… Continue
