I just made a deal with my boss. He wanted me to come work next Wednesday to help the new intern found his way around the website and all the other things I`d been dealing with for the last ten weeks. But next week, my internship is supposed to be over already so we decided to make a little deal that if I came next Wednesday I`d be allowed to take off one day this week.

So I decided to take the Friday off and give myself a long weekend. I`m already looking forward to it! This Sunday I`ll be going to a Gothic and fantasy convention with my sister and dad and I`m really looking forward to it since I`ll be able to dress up without people thinking I`m an idiot. I might even be able to wear my pretty elf ears for once! I <3 my elf ears.

Sister is at the hospital in Utrecht now, trying to claim the job. I`m nervous for her…I so hope she`ll get the job! It would be awesome to live in Utrecht and I`ll be very jealous of her…I`ll probably be visiting her each and every weekend *g* Also, we`d have a convenient place to sleep at the Elf Fantasy Fair.

Hello you guys! I`m back with more of my random ranting…dumdedum. This time I`m wondering why my blog main page loads super fast but all other posts and pages load with a speed lower than a slug`s speed. I`ve tried installing a cache plugin to speed things up but it didn`t really work. And I tried a plugin called phpspeedy but that messed up my scripts. So I don`t know how to speed things up here….if you have any tips please comment!

Please comment anyway, as we`ve been getting way too few comments lately. Where have my faithful plaza comment spammers gone?!

I`m currently at my internship again and I should be working (as always) but I just can`t force myself to do so…the interwebz is calling to me! After my internship I have a evaluation conversation at my work where they`ll discuss how I`ve been working the last six months. They already promised me I`d get another contract for a year yet they still want to have conversations like this. I`m not looking forward to it…I wouldn`t be surprised if all they did was tell you the bad stuff you`ve done the past six months. Managers are evil like that *sighs*

I`m now trying to think of something to talk about but all I want to rant about has something to do with stuff I`ve been going through with a creepy guy on the plaza lately. I`ll bother one of you guys on IM about it later.

I also noticed the traffic to this site seems to be increasing. I`ve been doing some SEO things lately so apparently they seem to be working. I`ve also noticed that though I have deleted all pages from the old kawaiipixel.com they`re still being indexed by google. So I now set a redirect on all those non existent pages to avoid scaring people off with the evil 404 error. Maybe that causes the extra trafic *ponders* Anyway, thank you guys for visiting us. We greatly appreciate it (Though we`d appreciate it even more if you left comments)

I have finally managed to upload all the new digital art pieces I have made over the last few weeks. All the ones with the orange/red background on the digital art page are new ones. My personal favourite is the following piece:

I hate to be arrogant about my own stuff but that one makes me go oooooh each time I look at it *grins*

I`m at my internship again right now and I`m supposed to be working but the boss is on a holiday so frankly, I`ve been slacking. I`ve been busy checking my mail, doing random stuff and pm-ing with Lauren for pretty much the entire day. All the work I got done is one paragraph for my internship report and add a few download buttons to the website. *whistles* I`ll try making up for it tomorrow…

I have to pick up the phone today, which is something I seriously despise. I swear I`ve got like a phone-phobia! If those exist I have them!

Also, google analytics gave us the following table:

Nr./Zoekopdracht/Positie

1/fangtasia costume/7

2/striped corset/8

3/kawaii pixel/4

4/small corset/8

5/fangtasia/11

6/site: www.kawaiipixel.com/1

7/xxx elf/10

8/kawaiipixel/1

9/www.kawaiipixel.com/1

10/gay elf costume/4

Which means that we`re number 11 on the sites found for Fangtasia. Which makes us the 11th most awesome site in the world *grins* The fact that we`re the fourth site found when googling gay elf costume….now that, I find a bit disturbing….

Hey everyone! Remember the corset I showed you? OFCOURSE YOU DO I SHOWED IT TO YOU A DAY AGO!!! Err..yes, well that pretty dark red underbust velvet corset which I wanted to order no longer has the wanted to order status but the have ordered status. WHOOOO…

It`ll be delivered to me within 4-8 days (or so the site says, I`m not buying it though…it`ll probably take at least three weeks) so I`ll be able to show how it looks for real in a few weeks. YAY

Also, as you might have noticed some things have changed about the site. My twitter, which I never use but who cares, now gets updated whenever I add a new post. Some ads have been added to see if we can make some money out of this random blog, if not I`ll delete them again. Clicking the authors name will now lead to a profile page of the author too, pretty useless but I was bored so yeah…

Anyway, I`m thinking of making my own layout. Because of my lack of spare time I took a pre-made layout for this one but it annoys me every day that I didn`t make it myself, so I`m considering to sacrifice the bits of spare time that I have to make my own…but I`m not sure what the layout should look like yet. Obviously, it should be random and colourful though…

Hey everyone! Here`s yet another blog from me…are you guys getting tired of me yet? I`m planning on making this blog really long since I usually fail at doing so. Why I fail? You might wonder…well, it`s because I write 90% of my blogs secretly at my internship when I hope no one is watching. After all, I work 40 hours a week here and don`t get a single cent paid for it because it`s an internship and not an actual job. Now they expect me to work my butt off for nothing? No way…but still, I want to pass my internship so I do all of my secret stuff secretly…LIKE A NINJA! (Those random caps moments are why people call me spastically random I guess)

But now my boss is out of town, helping some customer in Haarlem. As you people probably already knew (since I suck at keeping private info private and you guys rock at stalking me) I live in Groningen, which is at least 2 hours away from Haarlem…maybe more. He has to help the customer till 2pm so he won`t be back till 4. NOW CHEER WITH ME!

So now I can write a blog which is actually longer than two paragraphs…actually, it already is longer. I ROCK! WHOOOOOOO! So…what have I been up to lately?
I have mainly been spending time at my internship and have spend most of my spare time afterwards on the plaza. I`m getting pretty tired of all the arrogant admins on the plaza but I won`t talk too much about it here since they don`t take criticism well at all, though they say they do…they really don`t.

Ghost Girl Book

I`ve also been reading a lot. I finished a book called ghostgirl a while ago which was about -you guessed it- a girl who dies (choking on a gummy bear) and becomes a ghost. She still has some unresolved issues so she can`t go to heaven yet and is stuck at a high school for ghost. The book was a children`s book so not quite a literary masterpiece but it was good enough to keep me amused during the bus ride back home from my internship. I`m now reading a Douglas Adams book from the detective series, which is just as random as I am…I love it. To pretend like I`m working I`ll even write some code about it:

$book = content of book Bernadet is reading;
$mood = Bernadet`s mood;
if ($book == random) {
$mood = happy;
}
else {
$mood = not so happy unless it`s an awesome fantasy book or historical fiction;
}

THERE…I worked! Now ain`t I made of awesome? I think I have already succeeded in making this the longest blog I have written so far but I plan on making it longer than Alinda`s blog during her nightshift so I think I have a bit more to go. Wait a minute…I`ll go check how long her blog was.

I`m actually quite close already, I think I`ve nearly beaten her! WHOOO! I`m going to latch on to her favourite subject now, costumes for the Elf Fantasy Fair 2010 (and the Gothic and Fantasy beurs 2009). I am planning on buying the following corset:

Velvet Underbust Corset

But I have to wait for my sister to have the money to buy the black and white one so we can order together and split the shipping costs. The corset is pretty simple but I love it since it`s velvet which you don`t see a lot on costumes. There are a LOT of other nice corsets on the site where I found this one though, and all very cheap…so I might buy more later. I hope sister will let me borrow the black and white one once in a while since I`m completely in love with that one too.

I asked some friends if they liked the corset and they said it was hot…so I guess that`s good There`s a pink one which I adore too, but pink is so hard to combine with other fantasy clothes. I mean, it`s not exactly a fantasy colour now is it? So…actually I don`t have the slightest clue what I`ll be wearing to the EFF 2010 but I know this corset will be involved somehow! I`ll keep you guys updated. Also, did you notice how much better I am at inserting pictures than my sister? Mine are nicely aligned and even have a caption…TAKE THAT SIS!

Love,
Bernadet
PS: I only wasted an hour of my day writing this so you might get another blog later on
