Mom vs. Technology (Part I)

Last year, my mother decided it was time for her to get a new laptop and I volunteered (as a tribute) to help her on this quest in a local tech store. We were slowly walking around the shop in circles, gazing at all the shiny objects but unable to figure out what she needed vs. what looked good. Luckily we got rescued by an eager pimply employee and a laptop meeting my moms standards  was found within minutes.

I tried to ask some more question to make sure this was the shiny object she needed but I was interrupted by my mother, who turned to the guy and asked -in a way that would make Ron Weasly proud-  '...but...can there be internet...on the laptop...?'

She was serious. Needless to say she caught the poor guy off guard with this deep question. While he needed some seconds to regroup, I on the other hand completely lost my cool and couldn't stop laughing until we left the store minutes later -with the laptop.

So... Here we are, finally! Super excited to share some parts of my life with you! I'll write about my travels, favorite foods, recipes & other weird stories- I promise I won't be oversharing (much). I have a 'gift' of getting myself in quite a lot of weird situations on a daily base, my clumsiness & awkwardness aren't helping. Strange dates like the guy carrying a suitcase- exactly big enough to carry a male hipbone, mysterious neighbours that steal bbq's and a b*tch from Brazil trying to frame me (& subsequently spending a day at a police station on a n island in Brazil with nobody speaking English), I've seen it all - don't worry, I'm sure this will all happen again in the near future.

I love writing and reading and am currently enrolled at the Schrijversvakschool in Amsterdam to help me put my words and stories on paper. It's a lot of fun (and hard work), I'm learning a lot and fiiinally found the motivation -and courage- to go 'public' (yay). I've even joined the Tweeting population (My mother was on Twitter way before me. Seriously.). I'm still figuring out how Instagram works, 'cause 'Gramming is apparently the way to go- I blame my lack of social media skills on the suspicion that I'm an old soul, I'll get there (eventually).
                    
I'd love to hear from you!
