So,

I have more or less settled down to my own apartment. My sister was here for a sleepover and we played the Sims 2 and watched Pasila.

I bought myself laptop(a cheap one, but hey at least it works) ,and goddarnit it's so hard to type with this thing, compared to my old, huuuge desktop computer! *laugh* But I love this laptop, it's neat. At first I didn't like Vista. I still don't, so much. But thank god I was able to install SAI and Photoshop 7, I've heard that especially Vista had problems with PS7.

Do any of you have a copy of the Sims? Well, I did something on impulse today and bought a copy for myself. And all I have to say about it is

So far. Of course, it would be aaawesuuumm if there'd me more hairstyles etc, but meh, it's still a lot better than the sims 2. I mean the graphics oghhhhhh. I let my sister play it first, because she left few hours ago, and I have time to play it like... till Thursday, when I go back to work. I was afraid it wouldn't work on my laptop, but it works just fine. Takes a while to load, though, but I don't really mind, because it doesn't load for too long.

A few screenshots, because I haven't played it much yet.

( Bahaharrr )

Almost a week off from work, ftw. AND, I'm sick. What a great time to be sick, haha! Okay well, I don't really mind being sick and all, but today(technically yesterday) when I went and bought the game I was pretty lightheaded. I have no idea if I have a fever, 'cause I don't have anything to measure it with.

*achoo*

I booked the hostel for me and na_mu  for our trip to Berlinnnnn! Oh man oh man I can't wait. I should reaaally try to save some money for that trip, I don't want to come back empty handed. ))): Mites muuten Laura, se lähtö sinne? Mennääksme yöks Hesaan sun äiten luo ja sit sieltä lähetään vai....? :9

This saturday I need to go to a funereal. My (childhood) best friend's dad died about a week ago. I can't even imagine how she feels ..

// LJ WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH THAT YOU FUCK UP MY ENTRIES

So me, mom and my lil bro went to my apartment today and cleaned there a bit. Aaand of course I took pictures and went to see where the nearest grocery store was. And good news is, that it's almost right next to the building that my apartment is in! And another good thing is, that it's Siwa, and it means that I get 7% off because I work for the same company. |D (Suomen Lähikauppa Oy)

But first before I give you any photos of the apartment, here's some random pictures. Just because I like to annoy you guys. :--)
( arf pics ova hear )
Uhmm that's 'bout it, I guess. :|

I'M GONNA BE MOVING ON(OR IS IT IN I DON'T CARE) FRIDAY. *___* If everything goes well, that is. Lol I have to buy myself a new computer nooo. And I still need to pack some stuff. I NEED MORE CARDBOARD BOXES.

Hmm what the fuck, I've got Hitler's speech on my winamp. :DD RIIIGHT

Just lettin' ya guys to know that I'm alive!

Here's long story short, what's been happening;
- Work has been great. Okay, it's not "real" work since I'm still a trainee, but I hope that later I'm gonna be a real employee! (There IS that possibility)
- I got addicted to Moomins. Just... like that. Not the animation itself, but the comics and the books too.
- I really haven't been drawing anything interesting, but I've been updating my blog pretty often with crappy sketches about my daily life.
- I MADE CHOCOLATE CANDIES! \o/ And they were a success, at least according to my mom and friends.
- Hidoi had it's 8-year-anniversary-party on Friday @ Tampereen Portti, and it was awesome.

Otherwise, I've been pretty okay. Just waiting for the day I'm able to move from home to my own apartment and blahblahblah.

NNNFGH but yeah, I've really been lazy with LJ, sorry. ): I have so much photos to post but I'm always uninspired to post them .. Maybe I'll make a hugeass photo-entry when I have the time.

But yeah, I had some other thing to post. The goddamn Xmas present list that everyone else seems to be doing too. If you have made that list too and I haven't noticed(could've happened, I visit LJ so rarely..), please comment here and link your list for me, so I can check it out(wink wink)!

STEP ONE
♥ Make a post to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 unlimited holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related to medium to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

♥ If you wish for real life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa could get in touch with you.

♥ Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.


STEP TWO
♥ Surf around your flist to see who has posted their list. & now here's the important part:

♥ If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

♥ You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

♥ There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

( My list, be aware )

But seriously you guys, link me your list so I can check it out! And see if I can give anything for you. :3

I'm not prolly gonna update in a while, but ... See ya later!

Warning; Pretty long entry, and LOTS of pictures. But I'd still appreciate it if you'd check the pictures, if nothing else! Ignore all of the typos and such, I'm too tired to go through this entry for those .. Oh, and right, sorry that the pictures are huge-ass sized and it takes a while to load them, but I didn't want to make them too small. ):

Yossshh it's over! I had a pretty great time, despite all the heat and mass of people(and my self-esteem problems harhar). I met some old friends, and made new friends! ..Well, almost. *laugh* But yeah, let me start over.

On friday, jorppujauho  was the first one to arrive here. She helped me with my Judeau wig, but I still had some problems with it. Then we waited for na_mu  , purastik  , shii_x  and Eeva to arrive here. When they did, we went to Messukylä to drive na_mu  's car over there. Guests can't park their cars near our place for a long time, since there's so much constructions going on. After the car was driven there, we took the first bus to centrum and went to Maruseki, since we had a reservation there at 06:30pm. Me and jorppujauho  were wearing our costumes, and I think it was pretty good practice for the real thing on saturday. It was still hard to go without my glasses, tho .. I tried to put the contact lenses on, but I couldn't. x_x; that's why I had to go without glasses.

Maruseki was great, I ordered more than I usually do, and this time ordered dessert too. We chatted while waiting for the food, and naturally, I took pictures. :'3 Pics under the cut!

Click the pictures to view them full-sized!


Later that night me, jorppujauho  , na_mu  and Eeva watched Willy Fog(or Phileas Fogg) cartoon, because they wanted. XD I had to go to work that night, so it was only 2-3 hours of sleep for me ..

Saturday I woke up at 8am, so I was VERY tired. Working the whole night, getting back home at abt 04:30am, going to sleep god knows when .. jorppujauho  helped me with putting my wig on, and about @ 11:00 we were ready to go. We headed for the bus stop, and some DAMN drunken idiot comes to talk to us! He harasses na_mu  and jorppujauho  a bit(because they were wearing their costumes), tries to touch and stuff.. He didn't pay attention to me at all, tho, 'cause I think he mistook me for a guy. X''DD *had her chest binded because of Judeau cosplay* He also tried to touch jorppujauho  , but she snapped at him. >:D The idiot just kept talking and talking to us .. I almost burst laughing when he kept babbling on and on, it was SO hard to keep myself calm and not to laugh. He even sat next us in the bus. He tried to touch na_mu  many times, and she snapped too. The drunken guy got pissed and threatened to killna_mu  at the next market(lolwut?), and stepped out of the bus when we stopped at the hospital's bus stop. What a start for the day ..

But we finally managed to get to Tampere-Talo! I was SO surprised when someone recognized my cosplay! Seriously, I was prepared that NO ONE knows who I'm going as, but it made me so happy when one girl asked if I was Judeau, and when I said that I was, she took a picture of me. ;3; I WAS SO HAPPY! Well, then we started looking for a place to sit down, and when we did, we sat on the grass on the blanket I brought with me. I don't have anything against sitting on grass with nothing under me, but try to understand; I was wearing white trousers, I didn't want to go around with a green ass! But yeah, we set up a small camp there and started waiting for purastik  , shii_x  and ro_i  to show up. They eventually did! Our blanket became veeery popular, all these people I didn't know sat down with us. They were somewhat friends with na_mu  , so they weren't complete strangers.

But here's pictures from saturday!


Then we went to have a small photoshoot near our place. But it's such a darn shame that we went so late, the sun was already setting. And when it gets dark, you won't get any good photos. Well, not as nearly good as during daylight. But I still got some nice shots.


On Sunday I did the same routine; woke up at 8am, but I this time I was SO damn tired and worn out that I decided to go without cosplay. So I went to shower, and slept a bit more. XD; na_mu didn't put on her costume either, but jorppujauho did. This time we went on a different bus, because we didn't want to run into the same drunken idiot from Saturday .. While walking down the Hämeenkatu to the railway station we bumped to Mikko. Well, okay, he noticed me and shouted 'Lamppu'. XD We went to the con place in a group, and separated there. I also saw Fixie(he's from Hidoi also)! Well, he poked me on the shoulder. Why I don't notice anyone, but anyone notices me .. And this time I WAS wearing my glasses! Later I also so saw siikakala, fenris_90 and adaramusta. I didn't get to see mimeken, tho. ): Well, we met up with ro_i and her group near the place we hang out on Saturday, and put up the 'camp' back up again. Then the usual people came back to hang out with us, who where with us on Saturday, harhar.


PHEW, that's it! GOOOODDD I feel so relieved, I started writing this journal last night, and now finished it. Well, I had to work and sleep in between. XD;

My periods FINALLY started! I was getting kinda scared, because I didn't have my periods in two months ..

I got my PSP today.



But not just ANY PSP ..





Burr, I haven't updated for a while.. Sorry, been busy with work n' stuff. ): It seriously kills me.

So, I got the summerjob I so eagerly wanted, and I've been there for a couple of weeks now. I work from about 1am to 6am, and I get paid 8,0e/hour + some extra. ...I deliver the morning paper, woohoo. \o/ But it's actually kinda fun! If it's not raining, that is. It's been raining awfully lot for the past two weeks.

Ah, I promised some photos from the boat-trip .. But as so much has happened, I won't post so much from the boat-trip. But I had a great time there! I took pictures of jorppujauho's Refia cosplay, my favourite shots are in this entry. Some shitty sketches are included too, as I haven't been able to draw for weeks. It kills me so .. .. I want to draw again damnit!

More pictures, less talk. So here we go!



I've been eating so much today, I feel bad 'bout it. My weightloss is going to get ruined like this .. I'm aiming for 60kg before the summer ends, and maybe 55kg before the year ends. We'll see, if I'm satisfied with 60 I won't lose anymore weight.

I have my wig for the Judeau cosplay,the shoes(tho they have a zipper in 'em and it doesn't make me so happy) and the chestbinder. Only thing I'm missing is the costume .. XD; And of course I need to style the wig a bit.

Orz, we'll see when I update again. I update my blog more often if someone's interested. It's finnish, tho.. :/ But I post pictures and drawings etc there.

And I'm so glad and happy and everything that I got Jennu into Berserk. *glee*

I should update my website SOOOONNN but I still haven't finished some sketches I want to finish before updating. Why I must be so hardheaded!? Oh well, I still have time, so I guess I'm able to finish them ..

But in the mean time, let me give you a super small artdump. :| I seriously haven't been able to draw so much due to work, but I'm trying! *stressing over Cid/Vin requests BUT IS STILL GOING TO DO THEM*



IT'S SO HOT IN HERE! I mean, in our apartment. I can't, and don't want, to imagine how hot it will be during MID SUMMER. T___T I'm so staying inside and not going out if it's over 25 celsius. D:<

Yesterday was maruseki again, I decided to eat vegetable curry(with rice, dah), and boy it was GOOOD. Next time I'll take okonomiyaki, or ... or ... Damn, why is it always so hard. :'D Tomorrow is a meeting about Tracon IV @ TTY, I thought I could go there.. I still need to ask over at #Hidoi who's going there. Next saturday is Domus no Bonus Extra, where we'll be watching three movies; Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Steamboy & Paprika. I haven't seen the first two, but Paprika I have seen. 24.5 would be cosplay-maruseki, but I'm on a boat-trip with jorppujauho then.. But nah, I can always go to maruseki, and I haven't been on a boat-trip since ... Well, I can't even remember, but I think it was with isnende. :D

I also started doing something very out of character; I started reading a book. I seriously haven't read a single book in .. lord knows when! The reason why I don't read books is because my eyes always starts to dry and ache when I read .. This doesn't happen with comics. But the book is The Count of Monte Cristo. :D I've always wanted to read it, and now I finally started. Let's hope I'll be able to finish it!

I'm getting my new camera next week! <33 I spent 515e to it, it was on sale, muhaha. ~ The original price was 899e. So, since I'm getting my new camera soon, I want to test it, so ..

I had a pretty weird dream the night before last night.

I was going to my uncle's house with someone - I can't remember who it was - and when I got inside, I saw Aapo and some girl I don't know making out there. Aapo's nose was bleeding, and then suddenly mine was too! And it wasn't some small nosebleed, it was pretty damn bad actually. I remember trying to stop the bleeding, but I couldn't do anything. So I ran outside, to prevent making bigger bloodpools to the floor. I can't remember anything else, but damn, that was a pretty damn weird dream. And it wasn't the first time Aapo was in my dreams.

Oh uh, but .. Here's some artsies. I've been lazy lately. :I And it's the time again when I dislike my art. Oooohh right! I also made a new oekaki board, 'cause the old one got filled with spaaaaaaam! But but but this one's sooo much better. And I realized; I'm gonna be 18 soon; a little bit over a month....

If yer gonna start whining about the CidVin ones, I'm gonna come up there and punch your teeth to your throats. :D *knuckles cracking*




And for finishing touch; here's something to give you a good laugh, or perhaps nightmare...

My mom drew that, I laughed for half an hour to that. It's... it's so incredibly... crackfastic.

Things are finally doing a bit better; I'm getting a call from a ... woman who's probably gonna take me as a trainee! 8D I'm so goddamn happy I could just burst into tears. FINALLY. ABOUT A FUCKING TIME I GET SOMETHING TO DO. ;____; Now, the only thing I need now is a summerjob, and I'm happy. Glee ..

Newsflash; I've had a crush to the same guy for almost 3 years now, but always been afraid to say it outloud 'cause it sounds so damn weird from me. But there you go..! 3 people actually knows who he is. I want to tell him, but the shy person what I am, I .. can't. I'm too scared what he's gonna say about it. I'm not expecting same feelings from him, 'cause I know, nobody can fall for someone like me. Seriously,most guys nowadays only look after superpretty girls with nice bodies etc, and I'm nothing like that. Sure, I managed to lose 31kg's(!! yeah baby.o/), but I'm still not a girl someone wants. Oh, I only wish he was like one of those guys, who search deeper than the skin .. I'm pretty sure he is, but .. He has lots of pretty female friends, and he's probably gonna fall for one of those; not me. Oh man now I sound so selfish. :'D Of course it would be great if he'd like me back, but that's never gonna happen.

Oh well, enough about that! You've got your own lifes to live, and I'll try to solve this thing. I'll probably tell him in the near future .. If I can.

Unf.

Happy Valentine's and such!

Lanzarote was pretty great, if we don't count that, that I lost my nerves after the very first day; I'm just no good with kids. :D Anyhoo. I don't have much to explain about it, 'cause pictures speak more than a thousand words. Oh, but one thing I just have to say;

I FUCKING LOVE FLYING. 8D IT WAS SO AWESOME, I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN. But it's so damn expensive.. ;;____;;

Image heavy, but I tried to make the pictures smaller, but big enough to see what's in it. >_>; overall I took almost 500 pictures. XD;



We were at Helsinki-Vantaa airport at about .. 10:40pm, and I was at home after 1am. I also drew a bit there, but I think I'll leave those for later, there's enough images here already. :'D

.. I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE SKY. ;___; Nnnnfggh ..

Oh, right! Almost forgot. Took this meme from hikaru_nekomimi  a while ago.

1. your handle/name/username
2. left or right handed?
3. favourite letters to write
4. least favourite characters to write
5. write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
6. tag 5 people


Ugh I hate my handwriting. XD

I bought a Basic Japanese-English dictionary, and i'm going to start studying japanese in Janyuary. Well, for only four months. Oh right right, it's a course and it lasts for 4 months. I believe that's not enough, so i have to ask the teacher if there's more courses after that. Mwahaha.

Christmas is coming, and i still have to do a few xmas cards. :| i am NOT going to gain weight during xmas. I decided not to eat much christmas food if i'm offered, since i haven't eaten it in years. Why eat now? Well my dad DID invite me and my bro to his place to eat, but psssh i guess i could eat a little. Plus i remember, the last time i ate xmas food, i couldn't hold it in. Urk.

My mom said that my nose's gotten smaller. Whaaat..? Well it's true,i've lost about 27kg's in a year(this christmas it will be a year when i started losing weight! o/), but it CAN'T affect my nose. XD If i still wasn't afraid of cameras, i'd show you. OH OH OH i got myself a videocamera! Heehee, it's fun. But when i videotaped me and Niina when we made cookies and watched it later in the evening, i noticed how FUCKING annoying i am. :| But Niina said she loves me anyways, lol XD

UWAAAHHH i can't believe this. I've been asking from many places if i could go there as a trainee, but NO. But then me and Niina went to Fantasiapelit(it's a shop where they sell manga and roleplaying stuff), and i just HAD to ask from them. They didn't say no, and said come back next week and we can discuss about it more. I'd LOVE to go there. I mean, it's not that big store, and the employes there are nice, and i'd probably fit in, 'cause i'm .. what i am XD Wish me luck that they accept me there! *__*

I saw these things in the internets, but I never imagined it would happen to me. I seriously LOL'D hard and closed the window. lolololol. and the same "dude" actually tried to send me that again later. XD

It's been a gooooood while since i posted sum art, but that's okay. I post them to my website anyways, harhar. :D So i think i might hold down on posting my art here and post them only on my website, but i'll see about that. XD

// Woa sry, the images aren't the smallest ones :D


ALLALLA i got invited suddenly to a boat trip. HELL YEAHS I'M GOING. >8D
