I apologize for any mistakes, grammar errors or typos in this text, it's been a while since I wrote in english..

I think I am, but I want to know what you think. :D Here's my response to a "Are you a real Queen fan?"-video on YouTube.


( My response.. )

Now... Am I a true fan, or not? Haha. :D What a way to update after 5-6 weeks, go me! 

Unemployment awaits after the 8th of January ... Sigh. I've got pretty much two options:

1. Move back to Juupajoki, the place where I grew up.
Positive things:
+ My mom still owns the house we used to live in, so it wouldn't be any trouble to go back there.
+ .. which also means I wouldn't even have to pay the rent!
+ My dad lives in the same town(though 15km's away, but still!) so I'd be able to visit my step sis more often. I've neglected her a bit ..):
+ Both of my grandparents live there, mom's and dad's(well, only his mom 'cause his dad died a couple of years ago). And to be honest, I've neglected them too.
+ Our house is in the middle of a forest. I'd be in peace...!! 
+ And some other small things, like not having to worry so much about appearance or the way you dress
Negative things ..
- No public transportation. Okay well, it's a small place(about 2000 people) so it's no wonder, but it'd be fine if there'd be a few buses to go around .. Like I said, that dad lives about 15km away from our house? That's easy with a bicycle, but during the winter... :D And I can't drive a car, or anything that has a motor in it! Ehkä Jukka vois opettaa mut ajaan mopedilla.. Thankfully, there's a couple of buses and a train that go to Orivesi(a neighbour town, about 15km to go there), and of course to Tampere.
- Medical care sucks. Honestly.. You either have to go to Orivesi, Mänttä or Tampere for that. Thankfully I get sick very rarely, though. (: Haven't gotten a prescription in years! 

I'd be able to visit Tampere pretty often, since dad works in Valkeakoski and Merja(his common-law wife) works in Tampere. I'd be able to go back and forth for free! Well, I'd use a train or a bus in every once a while. ;)

The second option would be to get a roommate, or go to a community with more than 3 people. I'd save on the rent...! But I don't want to go to a community with strangers, I want it to be people I know..! Which makes it a bit harder.

I'm pretty much leaning towars the first option, moving back to Juupajoki. But it's still not certain! If I'll be able to find a job, then I'll of course stay here! 

So, I'm back from Berlin. And I TOTALLY fell in love with that city. I want to move there someday.

My english skills are a bit rusty, but I hope you still understand what I'm blabbering about.

To be honest, I was somewhat "wtf" when we arrived to Berlin in last tuesday(18th of August), because all the images I've seen of Berlin was from 1917-1945. :DDD Well of course I've seen all the tourist attractions etc but not the actual "street image". And because I'm very interested in Nazi-Germany, I've pretty much seen only images of Berlin from that period. Silly me. As we all know, there is no Nazi-Germany anymore. It was pretty weird to see Berlin with no Nazi-flags around. :D This might sound horrible to some of you, but I really would've wanted to see Nazi-Germany. NOT because I'm a "fan of nazism" - which I'm not - but because it must've been awesome, the street image I mean. *gets spiritual orgasms just thinking about the architecture from those days* And because I'm interested in history and war. I've said this before, but just a reminder; I am NOT a neo-nazi(some of them make me just RAGE SO MUCH), or anything related. Don't worry. :--D It's just a super-interesting subject! .. And I'm weird. Blee.

BUT YEAH HEY HOW DID THIS GO TO THIS DIRECTION. I'll stop now.

Here's mine and Laura's (na_mu ) supermindblowingawesomegreattrip to Berlin, with over 100 pictures! Think that's many? Well, I originally took almost 900. YOU'RE WELCOME. :D I've shrinked them down, so don't worry. And they're under the cut, so just

( click here! )

Also, Happy Birthday MJ.

//EDIT Oh oh oh, forgot to link this; here's more pictures, if you're interested!

Here's some videos that I've been watcing like crazy for the past few weeks, and thought I'd share them. Others because they're full of win and awesomeness, others because they're just down right funny. Or cute, hee.


Eddie Murphy doing a sketch about Michael Jackson. I always lose myself at
"Is it alright if I come down there and sing to you?" and the women go "AAAAAAH!!" Ah, Eddie Murphy, your stand-up comedy is awesome.

See the rest of the videos under the cut. :--)
( Videossss )

Lol yeah I have nothing else to report/write, I'm just bored and nothing happens in my life. :DD Oh and 10 days 'till the MJ meeting I arranged, eep! I hope everything goes well and it doesn't rain.

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*
