Butterflies and sunbeams

Hello fellow weirdos (that's a good thing!)

I've been gone for a while again. The weather is still beautiful and I am in the last phase of escaping my schoolprison, so things have been busy here inside and out Mägíç lând. But this weekend was the Elf Fantasy Fair once again. My first fair ever, and it's still great. It's claimed to become a bit more comercial, and I absolutely agree with that. But this year some huge improvements have been made (like yummi yummi food!) and it's usually the first fair of the fair season again. It's just really great to see all those wonderful people, see old and new friends, hear beautiful music, just the whole heya heya feeling. My love actually got me a mouthharp! And I bought a headband from a friend, who has a great webshop.  I'm so happy <3. We feel so at home between all those non socially accepted 'weird' people. I love it. We saw a beautiful young band's fair-premiere (great job Aero Fragment!), we walked, we enjoyed nature, we enjoyed the people, the beautiful goods they were selling, and a great band named Schelmish. My love, his brother, my long time dear friend Simone and me really enjoyed. And that's what it's all about, right? Just having a good old time with friends, music, love. Hmmm. I don't know about you but I get yelled at when I'm walking the streets a LOT. Hippie, gothic. It makes me laugh. Because you know? Those people will neither ever be welcome, nor ever find out about the world that I, and with me a lot of fellow weirdos, live in. I really believe, and I know not everyone will agree with me, that those people will never be as happy as I am even in my saddest days. Because most of them are just dead. Doing what they're asked to do, thinking what they're meant to think. They are born, they study, they work, they die. No movement... That seems to be the normal life for them. Maybe they have an illusion of happiness. But being really alive, enjoying life, the real life! Not the life put on us. So sometimes I feel bad for those people, not being able to live, just being mindcontrolled into a secluded place of fake happiness and slavery... Of course not everyone is like that, but when I look around I see it an awful lot. But then I see what these people do to these world... How obvious all the horrible things are that the homo sapiens sapiens is doing to this earth. How can you not see that? I guess the eye sees what it wants to see... It makes me mad. But then, no matter how horrible the outside world is, together with my Mägíç lând there are tonnes of bigger places. Festivals, fests, with mostly great people. Who (well most of them, of course) are still able to live their own lifes, to think for themselfs. And then we celebrate life the real way. Together, in harmony with nature. Let's never forget that how bad things get, we still have each other. And let's never stop celebrating life and harmony.

In the summertime...

Well, actually of course it is still spring. But after a short getaway the sun is back and shining gracefully. It's been a while since I posted here, but I was soooo busy! Apart from doing all kinds of stuff in Mägíç lând, I had a testweek at school. So that meant studying a lot and doing all kinds of boring stuff to eventually get the fuck out of there, really, that's the motivation to keep doing it. Because when I quit now, I will hurt so many people, and even though the short term freedom would make me happy, after that there would be so much bullshit. So wednesday my love and I enjoyed the sun by taking my sweet doggy Morris to a local small lake near my house. Morris swam, we were cold in the water, we played, we sat, we enjoyed, hmmmmm. It was exactly what I needed after those bad weeks of studying. I've also been busy with music. I play the electric guitar in a all girl rockband called Lucid Dream, and after the usual performance break during the end-beginning of the year, we started up again and it was great :) (by the way, we are looking for a new female drummer, if you are/know a female drummer and you want to join a great female rock-cover band, please contact me !),

But lately I've also been doing something else. Something I thought I would never do but somethign I enjoy a lot! And that's singing in a new band. My love, his brother, and me started a new band called Seed. The genre is hard to defy, but we hope to have some recordings up on youtube soon, so you can hear it. The instruments we use are; all the flutes that are out there (Koen), bohran and soon didgeridoo (Lars), bouzouki, guitar, and hopefulle somewhere soon harp (May), and we all sing and use different singing techniques (Overtone, troath singing, stuff like that).

This turned out to be more like a heya heya dear diary story, but all is fine in Mägíç lând. The sun is shining, and so are love and music. School is almost over and this vacation I got invited to join my love and his family in their vacation to Scotland, which is absolutely a dream come true. I can't wait! I understand that it's really not that interesting to read about what I do, so soon I will write more (hopefully interesting) stories about my view on everything, because that is what this blog is intended for of course. I really like discussing with people about what I wrote afterwards as well. So don't be shy to let me know your view please! But I know you aren't. And now, I think I'm going to poi!

Lots of love and poidancing,
May, lady of the lake.
