School starts tomorrow. It’s hard to understand that the vacation is over this soon. Luckily skiing holiday is not far away.

I was at work yesterday. It seems the evening shift has been planning a night together bowling/carting and then going to a restaurant. O_O With my social skills and easy diet it should be a wonderful night. *grins* I have nothing against my co-workers nor bowling or going to race at the carting place, but I’d rather get an extra day’s pay or something instead of going out.

So, I was at my sister’s place some time ago. Burned a pile of amvs among other stuff. And my God, some of them are truly excellent. They have an idea, plot, catchy music and I’m just fanatically listening to them over and over again, which is not good considering my projects.

For example Delerium and Sarah McLachlan’s Silence is so beautiful it makes me ache. The melody, lyrics, vocals and everything attached to an excellent video. I’ve been watching it over an over and still haven’t got enough. I know I can be pretty fanatic when it comes to music, but it’s better to be addicted to music than to heroin, don’t you think. Though my frenzy can be a little dangerous for my surroundings. Usually when I hear a good song, I can restrain myself to swaying with the music or maybe humming and dancing but sometimes I start singing and that’s a real pain, foe everyone else.

Seems that all my friends are moving to LiveJournal. Maybe I should also pack my stuff and get going. Let's see...

So, again at my sister's place. I'm positively freezing here despite my pullover, two blankets and a pile of pillows. It must be something like +17 here, meaning that I can hardly type.

A new year, new tricks. My New Year's Eve was as boring as it has been for years, meaning I read some fanfiction until around 11 pm and then went to bed. Oh the excitement and thrill. ¨_¨ And of course I kept mentally cussing at every single idiot who deared to fire rockets and scare our dogs. Oh, sure rockets are pretty and mosty made by kids in China/Thailand... who risk their lives each and every day at work. *notices she is ranting again and shuts up*

But I learned something abouth myself while reading. I noticed that though I like the nice, happy, sweet stories, I can't read too many of them before I start to feel really lonely. They make me wish I had someone to cuddle next to and someone who wouldn't mind warming my frozen fingers. I might appear as heartless/emotionless but that is a far cry from the truth. And so as not to feel so abandoned I mostly like to read the more violent/hurting/insane ones, which means I should get my text documents a password, as well as my gallery.

I'm sorry you had to put your journal friends only, Gabby.

Okay, I should start wrapping up and go home, 'cause my brother has his birthday today. And I still have plenty to do before school starts.

Mmm, I just love mixed dried fruit fool/pudding. It's really one of the best things about being born in Finland.

I managed to do something today, (except for watching an outrageous amount of anime, of course) namely to dye my hair. Now it's something a bit mahogany, I suppose. I kinda like it. For a change my hair looks as if I actually took some care of it. ^_^

So, isn't it all nice and cheerful here now that I modified my journal a bit? No? Well, sorry, but I'm a "free user" meaning I can't really do much anything to my journal. And because I couldn't find a decent avatar from Avenger, I had to settle with Akabane.

Was yesterday over at my daddy's place. I just love his cooking and his cats are now almost adults meaning they are big, graceful and beautiful. The funny part is that though they were named Hansu and Pirre, they are both males. O_o

Been reading a crap load of fanfiction since the weather sucks. Still going through Madamhydra's fics. If you haven't read her Saiyuki fic Addicted to Love, then go. It really made my day.

But why doesn't my timer work in blurty? I need to set the time each and every time. *whinewhine* I'm quite cream crackered after messing around with my journal so I wouldn't like to find what is wrong with my windows/blurty/timer to set things right.

You know, my day, err, evening was going really fine, until the hag called. First thing she said was "Well, what did your other granny give to you?" I exploded. That is so not normal behaviour. To ask your grandchildren what they got from their relatives. And the tone she used... mean, full of venom. She really is so envious of my other granny. (BTW, hag sent us wolly socks, granny sent us 100€). So, goodbye Christmas spirit. After she told about her trip to the graveyard (every time we are there she insists us to visit the graves of all our relatives. She knows we all hate it. And she keeps telling how bad and cold people we are, because we don't want to look at some friggin' stones.) and how she put a candle on each and every grave (I'm sure the corpses are just thrilled) she demanded to speak to my kidsisters also. I asked if she had anything worth saying, and she hung up on me.

I hate her. *watches the Christmas Spirit choke and die*

But what made me laugh today were the boxer briefs my brother got from his godmother. They are covered in these UFO heads that shine in the dark. O_o My mother said they were truly boxers worth wearing. Sorta alarming. Well, they proved that the whole world is truly hentai.

So, it's the big day for all of us in Finland. We just finished our "traditional" Christmas meal (deer, carrot casserole, red beet salad with Nightwish on the background. Yes, we were listening to the Raumanmeri -concert while devouring our meal. I love my family for being so openminded). Then we opened our presents. Thank you! They were great. All the good munchy-munchies and the artbook,...

Okay, so the meaning of this update was to wish you all the very best Christmas, but of course I got distracted. Hope you enjoy our holiday.

Oh, and please forgive my typos, I'm not in the mood to check them. Christmas is the time for forgiving, ne? Even for those who torture English.

There is a huge blizzard outside and I just barely managed to get to work. Now my fingers are all numb and red and weird. And I'm having trouble typing.
It's my last day of work before Christmas. Hurray. Tomorrow I'll have to clean up the house and do the groceries, because mom has work and Terhi is sick. After that I won't leave the house (except to take the dogs out) for a week or so (=until work starts again).

Watched the whole Infinite Castle arch of Get Backers. It was great fun. A lot of really happy fangirl screaming (Akabane, Ban, Makubex, Juubei, Kadzuki, Kagami,...). Now I just have around 20 chapters left. And the Tenipuri musical and some Avenger and other random stuff. Meaning I'll be sitting in front of the computer way too long if my mother is asked.

And finally managed to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. I liked it! It looked nice, the cast was good(looking), some weird humour, a plot (of some sort) and it was so slashable it might keep me going until I get to see the final part of LOTR.

Reading a funny book right now. " Isä sanoi hiljaa: "Ei minulla ole suhdetta Anaïsin kanssa. Äidilläsi on."" XD Anaïs is , by the way, daddy's female secretary. Okay, must go now.

It's all pretty and snowy outside. Yay for winter. Our dogs look like snowmonsters (again). It's absolutely hilarious to watch them act like puppies when they get to bounce in the snow.

So, our fifth dog arrived yesterday. She is still alive, so I think things are pretty well. ^_^ Although she needs a proper diet before I'll call her anyhing else than fatty.

Was yesterday to see the play Medeia. It's funny how it just reminded me of my parents divorce, some really ugly arguments they had, it even brought back the same sickening feelings of fear and helplessness I thought I had already gotten over. Fat chance. It was like living everyhing again. All the bad moments of a 12-year-marridge in 80 minutes. God, just thinking about it makes me want to throw up. So I guess it was a rather good play if it could make me feel and rememer all those things.

On a more positive side I finally managed to find another good author. The stuff that Madamhydra has in her Obsidian Shadows (GW) is absolutely addictive. I'm so bored of the cliches in the whole fandom but she breaks the most annoying ones, like Duo being some angelic spazz, Quatre being just a whining brat,... And turning tables making Duo, Heero, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei the baddies of the story= a lot of happy screaming. They are all AU, of course, but I've always been more into GW AU fics. And I absolutely love her Duo in The Other Side.

..."He flung up his hands and yelled, "I hate amateurs! I REALLY hate
incompetent morons! AND I HATE INCOMPETENT AMATEUR MORONS MOST OF
ALL!!!"
...
The blond chuckled and said, "Duo, you can be such an utter
bastard at times."

Duo's grin widened. With a wink, he said, "Of course I am! After
all, I was designed that way!" ...

*hearts*
She has written a lot of other stuff and fandoms too, but I haven't still managed to read anything else. *pout*

Okay, today's worklist:
1 finish Math homework
2 Check all your homework (Though I think I'll skip this one)
3 Christmascards
4 If dear granny calls, yell at her enough to make her close the phone. If she calls again, make her cry.
5 Continue your projects
6 Levyraati

Okay, the girl I mentioned some time ago (who had started cutting again), her journal has disappeared. It made me scared. I tried to look for her but couldn't find anything. I just hope she was taken to a hospital or something or that she just didn't want to keep that journal anymore. I really hope she hasn't done anything permanent. It just annoys that I can't get any reliable info before I find her friends journals or something.

Yesterday was great. Thank you girls!

So after sleeping 5 ½ hours, I woke up at 5:50 am and started cleaning up our house. That’s what I’ve been doing ever since. And now I’m just watching the Independence Day Celebration/ President’s Ball. And downloading updates. And generally fighting with my computer. OMG Tarja Turunen and her avec! Stunning.

Some random ficrec: I love this piece of fanfiction: Insanity. It’s beautiful, angsty, deep and the characters are complex and well written. And it includes ncs, insanity, cussing, violence, abuse, OC, OOC, some random bashing, drugs,… you get the point.

I should write my project about life in our solar system, but I’m just too lazy. Big surprise. And to be totally honest, the fact that I need to see my creepy Astrology teacher in the Physics storage next week is making me want to flee. I don’t want to talk about my project with him! He is intelligent and pretty decent but I have a lot of trouble trusting ´strangers´.

Weird, my hands are now so cold I can’t feel them anymore. Maybe a cup of tea would warm me a bit. Nah, I’m too lazy to walk to the kitchen.

Was selling stuff at the flea market today. Or actually I read a book and my sister mainly did the selling. Now I'm tired (had to wake up before 7).

Was in Citymarket with my Mom and sis yesterday. There was a sale of somesort on mascaras and haircolours and Mom and sis were all excited and all I could think was 'when do I get to the hifi, CD, PS2 -game area?' And so my Mom kept on cracking a joke about our dog being more at home with cosmetics than I am. Hah hah, very funny. Though I must say that compairing eyeliners or pondering the advantages of different mascara brushes isn't really my poison of choice. Na ja.


Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.
You are Ludwig II, the Swan King of Bavaria!

Born with the name of Otto, you became Ludwig at the request of your grandfather, King Ludwig I, because you were born on his birthday. You became Crown Prince at the tender age of 3, and soon after stole a purse from a shop on the basis that everything in Bavaria belonged to you. Tragedy struck when your pet tortoise was taken away; relatives thought the six-year-old prince was too attached to it. Your childhood was lonely and formal. Once, you were prevented from beheading your younger brother by the timeous arrival of a court official. From the age of 14 you suffered from hallucinations.

Despite striking an imposing figure with your great height and good looks, your speeches were pompous to the point of incomprehensibility. You became even more of a recluse, often spending hours reading poetry in a seashell-shaped boat in your electrically-illuminated underground grotto.

You are most famous for building three fairytale castles - Linderhof, Neuschwanstein and Herrenchiemsee - at tremendous public expense. Declared insane and confined to your bedroom by concerned (and embarrassed) subjects, you escaped on 13 June 1886, but were later found drowned with your physician in Lake Stamberg in mysterious circumstances.


I've always felt kinda sorry about his death, because he really had an eye for beautiful things and architecture. So being compaired to Ludwig isn't really that bad.

And I can't really explain what I'm laughing at, can I. Without them calling an ambulance and sending me to an asylum somewhere far away. (Try explaining the plots of Weiss, YnM etc and why the comments about them being gay/crossdressers/... is funny.)

Okay, had my German test in the morning, will retake it. Went home, took dogs out and came back for my Astronomy lessons and now I'm waiting for work to be over so I could finally go home and get something to eat and then get some sleep.

Weekend, please arrive soon! I have a pile of books/anime/random stuff to do just waiting for me.

And a test. I knew you were waiting for it (Get back this instant and look what this tells about me. And no, you can't pay me to stop taking these things, sorry.)

I just glanced at my next term timetable. It royally bites ass. 30 hours at school + 12 at work + at least 5 in the bus + 5-10 h on homework /week. When do I have time for stuff like sleeping, reading and things like that? Na ja, gotta go.

I arrived just before midnight yesterday. The bus smelled of cheap red wine and it made me nauseous. Fuck I hate those retarded idiots who say "drinking is your own busines". I get mentally and physicly sick everytime I pass someone who even smells of alcohol. And then I woke up before 8 am, meaning that I'm tired. Big surprise.

Well, I managed to burn a lot of stuff, but it seems like two of the CD-Rs don't work. *rage* And they were the ones including sweet stuff like Gackt's PVs and so on. *RAGE* Nah, I just need to shift my ass to an ADSL (=my sister's PC) and load and burn everything again.

Should be studying History, but Full Metal Alchemist was a lot more tempting. It was hilarious and sad and angsty and just perfect. Being an otaku has its moments.

My sis gave me her old prom dress (Old's Dance sounds so lame, so I pretend prom is acceptable). It's black satin and really pretty and fits me perfectly (okay, it's a bit loose, but you get the point) and I love black. But I'm not going to the prom! So if anyone needs a prom dress, I could borrow it. It's made for someone over 170 cm and size is 36, I suppose, or 38, dunno. It has this funky (OMG I just wrote /funky/) sorta low/broad neckline but other than that it's pretty simple. In a good way.

One of my online friends has started cutting again. Somehow that just made my day. She is just, what 15. And she was doing well for a good year but then things took the U-turn to hell and she is hiding knives in her room. Again. Her mother just yells she will miss school if she keeps this going on, her real life friends think she is a wimp and pills don't seem to work. And she hates her shrink. This world just breaks me sometimes. Maybe that is why I look for places like this http://www.rathergood.com/swearotron.html.

Deep in the cradle of the moon
You rock to sleep beneath the sky

Feeling kinda weird, again. Damn girl hormones! And damn flu. I’m so detached, cold, numb and bored. My nightmares are back with revenge and I’m sleepy all the time. I was hungry and I just watched tv and didn’t even bother to walk to the fridge and eat something. It would be funny, if it weren’t so spooky. I can’t bring myself to study, meaning test week will eat me alive. I’ve just went through the English CD, but my Math and History books are just waiting, untouched. Blah, this whining is so boring, change of subject.

I watched Air Master and Avenger today. Avenger was terrific. I love its beauty and angst. Layla was just so *is at loss for words* stunning. Hmm that word doesn’t do justice for her. Air Master was very amusing. Because I like the concept of street fighters, it was great fun.

Oh, my sister got her test results. Nothing wrong, so she was given some medication to kill infections (antibiotics, if I'm right). But if they don't work, she'll go to a doctor specialized in rheumatism. For crying out loud she is just 15 and they are considering rheumatism! Why isn't it enough that were allergic and have bad eyes?

Enough bitching, I need to get myself together before work starts.

Yesterday was great. Well, after the German lesson ended, that is. Talking, eating, watching a good movie, snuggling on the sofa, great friends... And just when things looked good for a change, bam and down you go that slippery slope. This morning I woke up 5.58 from my nightmares and couldn't fall back asleep, even though I was exhausted as hell. I've been having nightmares every friggin' night for over a week now, and it's really bringing me down.

I'm feeling really empty right now. Terhi is on a camp, Reetta and Harri at our father's place. I came from there a couple of hours ago. It was okay, or would have been, if I'd been able to feel something. But I just walked and brushed the cats and talked a couple of words without feeling anything at all. Hmm I bet I can't even feel any physical pain right now. Wait, let's test, no, I can see the scar and feel the pressure but it doesn't hurt. Kinda weird.
