2010 part 1: january - july

I've been looking back on the posts I made during 2010. It's so fun to see what happened over the course of a year. Some things seem really long ago and sometimes I go like: 'has it been that long already?!'...

2010 has been the year where I started taking my blog more seriously and I'd really like to thank all the readers I've gained; I really really appreciate that you read my blog and say such wonderful things!

Here's a summary of what happened in 2010 on The World Looks Red.

January


All of January was snowy, snowy, snowy.

February


Spent a lot of time with this guy. ♥

March

I stayed in bed a lot and watched all seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I bought an iPhone and Daniel and I went to see Owen Pallett in a church.

April


I went along on tour with Ef for a couple of days. Daniel was gonna be out for two months so later in April I went to Brussels to surprise him when he was playing there. Quite tragically, he could only stay for like an hour because of the traffic-chaos surrounding the Icelandic volcano. I went to Antwerp a week later to make up for lost time.

May


The first sun! It's so warm on my balcony! ♥

I ran into Avey Tare and Danny Perez before the screening of Animal Collective's ODDSAC screening. They were super nice and together we sort of lost the way to the venue. I also went to Pinkpop festival for a day and spent the entire day knocking back champers and catching up with friends; I only saw 2 Many DJ's.

June

I met Jónsi and didn't die (contrary to my expectations).

At the end of June I packed my bags and went to Sweden for the summer.

July

We spent most of July at Daniels parents' house by the sea, babysitting their cats and enjoying the summer. My dear friend Elke arrived to Gothenburg, it was so nice to get to see her that often; we usually live quite far away from each other (Amsterdam - Ghent).

That was the first half of this year. The second part will follow in a few days!
