[disguises, surprises and pies of all sizes!]
Know the days when your stomach seems to be bottomless?
That is today.
I've pretty much
eaten devoured everything I've managed to get my hands on. Hm.
It was the Unicolour party yesterday and I was rather tipsy. For a while I felt bad because not everyone else was as drunk (or at all) and had to suffer me fussing about everything. Then I remembered all those times I've been sober and witnessed others being drunk and that I still like those people. So.
I still annoy myself when I'm drunk, though.
I also tend to get obsessed about all things possible, such as thinking I look like a frog in a miniskirt.
Or doing bad Grendel poses.
Went around to Ahjovaara to visit Annika & Aleksi today (Jenna wasn't home). Lots of tea, less healthy snacks and theme songs from the 80s and early 90s. And finally, the soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar! Whoopee!
The visit in brief:
Had tea, conversed with Annika and observed Aleksi playing various air instruments and imitating Jaws.
Nice people.
Aleksi even lent me the theme song CDs so I can copy them for myself, too.
Gummibears, Ducktales, Smurfs, Transformers, Garfield! And Baywatch.
The net's been an arse today again, and it has now been proven that me and Jaakko are way too addicted to it. Not being able to waste the hanging online, we've found the joys of text messages again. Though there was some actual discussion there too, the messages mostly contained things like "Jin and Mr Eko are extremely cool".
Karkkila tomorrow. Weirdness.
ps. I can't believe I didn't know about
RetroJunk.com!

[Officially Shallow Entry™]
Well, what do you know. I seem to have lost a bit weight (haven't weighed myself, though, just looks like it). Of course, everything seems to have gone from bum and thighs, which were never the problem anyway. Conclusion: I look even more waistless (and hipless) than I did before. How lovely.
Ah well, beats being a (wannabe) anorexic nutritionist. I never knew such combination would even exist.
Last night's 4D was rather disturbing.
It's the Echo Unicolour party this evening and I'm not really satisfied with my outfit. It's green, for one. I really wanted to dress in red. Also, the tights look a bit silly combined with the shoes and the skirt. But I guess I have to live with it because I really can't afford buying anything new either since I've, not so miraculously, managed to exceed my budget this month. Whee. Had to ask dad to transfer me some money so that I can buy the train ticket.
I still found the six euros to get me a ticket to BePop for next Tuesday to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers Project. I suspect half the female humanities students have bought the ticket just because Ville Tuomi is in it. Including me. :p

[overdrive]
Too much staying up late and too much telly, i.e. Angel.
Gah.
I've reached the point of tiredness that I tend to go into overdrive rather than actually sleep. Reading Bridget Jones's Diary at 5am seems the most important thing ever. And being this tired all the time makes my throat sore for some unknown reason. Bollocks.
Also, I went to Tempo last night. Freely and sober. Aaa! I wasn't alone there, though. That would've been way too alarming.
The amount of Angel episodes I've managed to watch (I'm past Hero already, and it still makes me cry) is mind-boggling, considering the fact that I haven't been at home all that much and managed to get some other stuff done as well. I haven't watched any Angel for years, so it's been rather fun, but I am slightly worried.
I know myself well enough to know what not sleeping and vast amounts of Buffy or Angel mean.
Not indicating anything good.
The Black Adder theme song is still stuck in my head. Whee.

[the dark avenger]
The art history exam over. Don't know. Probably a pass, but I don't know if I did well. Ah, whatever. There were two alternative questions for each book, so I answered three altogether.
1. Early Christian and Byzantine art
2. The first Finnish Parisians, realism and naturalism
3. Helene Schjerfbeck and topics of female artists
I was panicking about baroque and thus knew quite a lot about that, so naturally no baroque-related questions. I knew *something* about each of those (which is a lot more than I can say about, let's say, medieval Finnish churches, which was the alternative for #2) and as I have developed a skill of extensive scribbling over the years, I managed to fill four pages. Woo.
Still not too happy about the exam, though.
Well, we'll see.
Me and Matti both wanted exam beer, but as we both also had some form of physical exercise later this evening, we went for coffee instead. And then we headed for Anttila's CD sale. Didn't buy any CDs but somehow managed to leave with Angel season 1 boxset. Erm.
Could I really afford it?
No.
Do I like Angel?
No.
Have I collected all Buffy boxsets like I'd decided to do before starting to collect Angel?
No.
But it was cheap (18,95). And hey, Doyle bonus.
I ought to vacuum, haven't done that for two weeks and my room's getting pretty disgusting. Maybe tomorrow. Now, body balance.

[grendel]
Me: Dumdidum.
Kari: Hey.
Me: Are you in this class, too?
Kari: Just chose to walk in this door. What is it?
Me: John.
Kari: Umm. Grendel?
Me: Yes.
Kari: I might as well be.
Me: Interesting enough.
Kari: When did it start?
Me: Last week.
Kari: Last week?
Me: You can still catch up.
[lecture]
Kari: What fun.
Me: Hmm.
Kari: Perhaps I should check my schedule and see which class I was supposed to attend when I wandered in here.
Me: Perhaps.
Apparently, it is possible not to stress too much about schedules and things and still be alright.
I just need to learn how to do it.
On a side note, I think it's weird Kari hadn't spotted the course earlier. It's literature and monsters after all.

[ikinuoren kadonneet kulmat]
Kaikki oletettavasti tietää sen tunteen, kun on tosi väsynyt ja kaikki tuntuu tapahtuvan slow motionilla. Se olin minä eilen. Lempikohtani oli siinä vaiheessa, kun iltasella lakaisin lattiaa ja vahingossa tiputin harjan ja se kaatui lattialle. Kesti ehkä ikuisuuden. Merkillinen olotila.
Fuksiaisten jäljiltä olin (tai olen) siis vähän naatti. En ollut edes humalassa, joten vältyin jeesuskrapulalta ja muilta kankkusen ilmenemismuodoista (möhöh), mutta valvominen on kyllä melkein yhtä kohtalokasta mulle. Tänään on ollut jo vähän aktiivisempi päivä - ainakin siihen asti kun nukahdin tenttikirja sylissäni. Öö.
Avasin irkin tänään pitkästä aikaa ja tunsin itseni ihan hölmöksi.
Ehkä yritän joku toinen päivä taas uudestaan.
Synttärit lähestyy, ja vaikka olenkin päättänyt lopettaa vahenemisen, haluan silti lahjoja. Uutena 23-vuotispäivänäni minulle voi lahjoittaa esimerkiksi tällaisia asioita:
- Von Hertzen Brothers: Approach (jos levyä ei löydy, pelkät veljeksetkin kelpaa, keksin niille varmasti jotain käyttöä)
- Lemonator: At the Presence of Great Beauty
- kasa muita levyjä, jotka kaikki tietää minun haluavan
- Buffy-boksit kausilta 4-7 (tiedän että joku haluaa kuitenkin ostaa minulle ne kaikki)
- Olipa kerran ihminen / elämä
- miespalvelija
- urheilurintsikat
- sponsoroitu vaateshoppailukierros
- olkalaukku
- laatuaikaa (ihan oikeaa, ei mitään aivotonta hengailua, kun sitä on muutenkin hei)
- syystakki
Näitä asioita minulle ei saa antaa:
- minttuviina
- Karkkisten lahjakortti
- biletysilta Gigglinissä
- lakanoita
- Billy Crystal
Hehkutin tätä noin kaikille jo keskiviikkona (kaikki = Riia, Krista, Jaakko, Katja, Samu nyt ainakin), mutta mainitsen nyt vielä, että lueskelin tuossa vanhoja kirjoituksia vuodelta 2003. Hitto mitä juttuja. Julkaisen ne joskus vielä kirjana.
Helmikuu 2003:
I'm thinking of becoming invicible. How cool would that be?! Sneak into all the movies for free, drop popcorn and mushy bananas on the heads of annoying people, not care about the bad hair days, write anonymous notes on the walls in the middle of day-- Tuo banaanijuttu oli suosikkini. Kannatan ideaa edelleen.
Oliko muuten hassua vai hassua törmätä Riiaan kävelykadulla keskiviikkona? Kivoin juttu pitkään aikaan. Ja nyt olen visiteerannut myös Hotelli Atriumin huoneissa. Ihan samanlaista kuin kaikissa muissakin hotellihuoneissa, perussettiä ja kummallinen haju. Öö.
Tänään luvassa fuksiaiskuville naureskelua ja hengailua (eli potentiaalista sinkkupohdiskelua) Palaverissa. Ajateltiin Reetan kanssa, että laitetaan Jokelaan pystyyn koju, johon miehet voi tulla haastatteluun (haastattelumaksu on euron) Nooran poikaystäväksi. Me sieltä sitten raakataan potentiaaliset Nooralle ja koska kojuun on suoranainen ruuhka, rikastumme samalla. Ei kysytty Nooralta, mutta eiköhän tämä mene läpi.
Jokelasta tuli mieleeni keskustelu, jonka kävin kyseisen ravitsemusliikkeen porstsarin kanssa keskiviikkona.
Hanna: Maksaisin meiät molemmat.
Portsari: Kaksi euroa.
Hanna: Noin.
Portsari: Kiitos. Kuinka vanha sä muuten olet?
Hanna: Täytän 24 tässä kuussa.
Portsari: Niin vähän ajattelinkin, että olisi.
Hanna: Haluatko nähdä jotain todistavia dokumentteja?
Portsari: En mä. Mutta että sulla on ne mukana, jos tiskillä kysytään.
Hanna: Öö. Joo.
Joko olen tosi nuoren näköinen tai sitten tässä on jotain hassua tekeillä.
Ja unohdin sanoa portsarille, että täytän uudestaan 23. Pitää tottua ajatukseen, ettei uudestaan sorru valehtelemaan.
Syön taas lohkoperunoita. Vähän huolestuttavaa.
// edit: värjäsin hiukseni torstaina ja nyt tuntuu siltä, että kulmakarvani ovat kadonneet tai näyttävät vähintäänkin äärimmäisen harmailta. Arh.

[queen of cretins]
I think my brain decided to take a few days' vacation and then decided never to come back.
Umm.
Too much hanging out in somewhat cretinous company recently. I mean, I love you all dearly, but the level of discussion lately really cannot be excused.
Lala.
In other news, I think it'd be a good time for me to have a leetle crush on someone. Hmm. Ideas, anyone?
Aleksi borrowed my camera for five minutes on Thursday.
You've got to have some respect for the guy.

[sidestepping art history]
Yesterday was the first day I wasn't afraid of passing out or vomiting if I did something more extreme than turning over. I even went to the first aerobics class and momentarily I was full of energy. Conclusion? Internal struggle. Half of me wanted to go to the back to school party to listen to Stu, the sensible half knew it'd be better to stay home and sleep.
For once, the sensible half won. Amazing.
Not that it helped much, I'm still tired. How much can a person sleep?
I'm starting to suspect I'm having problems with my haemoglobin again.
Ah well. What ever it is that's causing this exhaustion, it's pretty much ruining my plans. Since Sunday I've actually caught up with my reading rather well, but now the thought of picking up Cleaver's art history book just makes me want to cry. Hence, no art history today - unless I'm feeling better and more up to it in the evening. I could concentrate on Indemnity Only instead, I've got to return it to the library on Friday.
I've got my hairdresser's appointment today again. I've still got nearly two hours to pull myself together for that. Rah.
Most of my muscles hurt again, but this time because of the aerobics. In other words, I don't mind the ache. The class was way better than the one I attended in the spring, though. The only complaint I have thus far is that the air conditioning wasn't working. About 15 of us in a rather small room, all sweating like pigs. I honsetly wouldn't have wanted to be in the group that was there after us.
Work, brain, work.

[groan]
So, my hunch was right.
I am sick. Whoooopeeeee!
My head aches, all my muscles hurt, I feel slightly nauseous and despite my 10+ hours of good sleep last night, it's like I hadn't slept at all. Also, I can feel the flu is on its way at full force so with my luck, this could take weeks.
I honestly can't take this now. Things were bad enough as they were. And I really do need to be able to concentrate on the books, let alone other things.
Apparently the weather outside is wonderful, sun is shining and all. Seems like the perfect weather for going out for a walk. Of course, I'm too exhausted even to walk to S-market and buy milk. Annoying and depressing.
Not fair.
// edit:
Checked Meteli.net. Von Hertzen Brothers are coming to BePop on Oct 5.
Maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel after all.

["a weathered face in the mirror"]
Take a very tired girl, who's had an extremely bad day and very possibly has got a mild case of fever. Add a self-mixed drink, a bottle of white wine and some mint liqueur. The result? It ain't pretty, believe you me.
Last night was fun until it got all disastrous. It's been years since I last felt so nasty. In a way I think it was very moving how Jaakko and Matti took care of me (seriously, thank you), but that doesn't make anything any less mortifying. Gah. But at least the fact that I was feeling so sick pretty much prevented me from blabbing the less happy thought products of my brain out to whoever. I guess that's a kind of a triumph.
But consequently, today I 'ave been mostly hungover.
And cursing the effin' mint liqueur.
And once again wondering if the fun is worth all this.
(And once again I reached the conclusion that the answer is no.)
Oh bollocks.
Noora, Katja and me went out for hangover pizza today (except that Noora had a kebab), it helped a little. Of course, now I'm craving candy. And Diet Coke. I think I still need to hit Karkkiset today, even if the only thing I want to do is watch telly in my flannels.
Anyway. Because we also had fun, it is time for some extracts of the photograph series "Drunken Idiots & Digital Cameras", part two :p
