Just got home from movies. Me and mum went to see From Hell. Good lord! I actually feel physically sick.Of course, I have no idea wheter that is because of the film or those weird lollipops I just ate. Probably both.
There really is a reason why Johnny Depp is my ultimate hero. He's great. There's nothing much I can say about him. He's just great. Spiffy.
Ian Holm did wonderful work too. Well, that's just usual him being the brillaint actor he is. I swear, I'll never be able to see Bilbo (or Biblo, whatever) Baggins the same way again.
Edit: Angelique; I have no idea what the guys of BSB are up to. They actually released a new single last fall but that's about all I know. Well, that and the fact that Brian and Kevin have most definitely got married (but not to each other, ho ho..) and someone told me AJ did that as well. Go figure.. I really haven't been following things lately :)
I'm actually listening to the Backstreet Boys right now. Freaky. And it's even the second album! Well, the second Europian album, thus the second for me. US only got a combination of the first and second albums and had to miss out some great songs like Nobody But You <3
Oh, who cares?
I found this very strange girl online. She seems alright and all, but she has to have awful lot of money! She's got like 4 domains, one for her blog only. Eeep! Again I won't mention any names but some of us can barely afford the one domain.. But check her out, she seems nice enough (BSB warning though).
The new video rental place is neat. The guy who runs it was very nice and they have an ok collection of films.. They've got the new ones, older ones, the usual ones, the weird ones.. And I'm sure they'll improve soon enough. But anyway, I had such a hard choice to pick only one (like I meantioned earlier, I'm completely broke so I couldn't afford two, even if they cost 4€ together). But I found The Yellow Submarine! So that one it was. I finally get to see it <3
If I find another 2.5€, I'll get the Ice Storm or Elizabeth on Sunday. Or then some crappy romantic comedy like Drop Dead Gorgeus :D
Thursday, May 30, 2002
Whee! Some courageous person has finally opened a decent video rental place in my hometown! Well, actually it opens tomorrow but I walked past it today and it looked fab.
Goodbye R-kioski and it's video rental monopoly over here!
(you'd think I'd support the place where I work but.. hell no!)
I see exactly two choices for tonight. I a) watch Planet of the Apes, sleep and wake up too tired for my morning shift or b) e-mail Emily, watch Planet of the Apes, sleep and wake up even more tired for my morning shift. Hmm.. Plan a would be the sensible one (not really. it would be sensible to skip both e-mail and Planet of the Apes) but I really want to e-mail Emily. Ah! What's the girl to do?
That last sentence reminded me. I bought Pleasentville DVD last Tuesday. It was really cheap.. and there it is waiting for me until I get DVD player. I already have Go! and Idle Hands.. hee. I will buy that darn thing this summer.
Edit: ps. I actually did go through the rest of The Ways of Reading today.. today's notes aren't half as detailed though.. unfortunately.
You are Sarah Michelle Gellar!
You acted in cool movies like:
Scooby-Doo, Harvard Man, She's All
That, Scream 2 and Cruel Intentions.
Take the "Which Hollywood Princess are you?"
quiz @ planetag.de
I watched Billy Elliot yesterday for the second time. I love that film. I can't describe it or anything, I just love it. And again it made me cry at the end.
I also went to see AoTC for the second time yesterday. It was better now! I don't know what has happened in these two weeks or so, but the even the horrendous Anakin/Padmé scenes weren't so bad any longer. Very weird.
I still can't stad Obi-Wan's hair though. Nyagh. I actually joined an anti-mullet clique today. Find it from cliquehappy.com, which would be a very cool domain even without the Fear the Mullet clique :D
Tomorrow it's From Hell and then I won't be able to go see any movies for a while because I'm completely broke. I still have 20€ left in the bank but that's about it. And who is to blame? Yes, me. Me and my sister had bit of extravanganza last Tuesday.. Not a clever move but fun (well, mostly). And I got some new clothes (note: they were cheap too).
I have an evening shift tonight again. Argggg.. I think this job will drive me nuts, sooner or later. Nothing happens! Quit evenings have their upsides too, though. During last evening shift, I went through 135 of The Ways of Reading. Maybe today I'll finish the book. You ought to see my notes.. They make only a little sense if any. But at least I'm trying.

Whoever invented the new "practical" pumping system to the Veet cans is either a moron or truly evil. I've got half of the stuff still elft in the can but can't get it out. And thus I suffer from hairy legs...

Still a wee bit more about the eurovision song contest:
honestly, I couldn't care less. I didn't even watch the finale. I very much disliked Laura's song (and her wardrobe) but all the songs that made it to Finnish finale were bad. And really.. I'm just not interested. I despise the whole phenomenon.
Hmmmm.. Something occured to me today as I got home from work and mum was watching the Mika Kaurismäki film, Klaani, on telly.
If by some weird biological wonder Michael Douglas and Peter Franzén mated, their offspring would probably look a lot like Kari Väänänen of 1984.
Of course, I couldn't find any pics of Kari Väänänen that were actually taken in 1984 but anyway...
And of course, I managed to slip a link to Tobey image up there. I am sly that way :)
Back to this amazing discovery of mine. Argh! I wish I'd never seen even those few minutes of Klaani.. they made me realise some things. a) Kari Väänänen has been a young man (noooooooo! does this mean that I will get old too?) and b) he wasn't that bad looking either. Very devastating. Mum and I had a nice discussion about this.. she agreed with me in the whole Michael Douglas / Peter Franzén deal. Sometimes mum is very clever.
I respect Kari as an actor, he's wonderful, but the worst thing he's ever done is Aragorn (I just can't get over this). As Gollum he was wonderful, but Aragorn.. he was a few years too late. If he had done it before 1984 it would've been alright, but 1989 - he'd gotten too old. He got old very quickly.
I think I got a tape from dad for Christmas which includes him singing a little Tolkien inspired song as Gollum. Hee.. But where is it? Need to find it.
Edit: I'm not too much into politics but the latest events over here have made me go grrrr. First the parliament decided to allow a fifth nuclear power plant being built. Today it was announced that the green party has left the government! Nooo! Well, I don't blame them. They left because of the nuclear power issue. Fax.

The eurovision song contest is once again over for this year.
Good.
I can't stand the thing. Every year (when we get to participate anyway) Finland goes nuts. Everyone's sure we're going to win because this year we've got someone who knows what they're doing and unlike any previous years, this time we have a hit song.
Every year the whole Finland has to sink in its misery because we don't get any points. And I'm not surprised. Every year the song is terrible. What Finnish song makers have yet to realise is that they don't have to create a winner song. They need a good song, not a planned winner. Planned winners are bad, good songs do okay and sometimes even win. This year's winner was terrible though. But it was the only one I hear, I don't know how horrendous rest of the songs were.
But now the hell is over for two years because we don't get to participate next year. Hurrah! For some reason Laura and Addicted to You didn't make a good impression. Heehee.. I might be alone in my joy, but I don't care.
And then to Cannes (which I appreciate more anyway):
Go Aki Kaurismäki (yeeesh.. more fame and fortune for my tiny hometown)! He came in second in the best film category. Mies vailla menneisyyttä is a brilliant film though so it's not a surprise. And now I can feel like I'm almost famous. I know half of the extras in the film.. whee.. ;) Also, Kati Outinen won the best actress. Hurrah for Kati! She's incredibly beautiful. And she gets prettier with age. I like her muchos.
I feel like re-designing this blog. I was going to do it today but decided to skip it.. I updated all my other sites today. Anything more and it would've been too much.

What's wrong with me???
I mean, hello??!
I can't believe this. I put a lot of time, money and effort to get to the exam and everything should be alright. And then I completely fuck it up.
The exam wasn't even too hard. Five term definitons and an essay. Simple? Yes, well.
Question 1: Define diglossia.
Hanna: ummm.. what if I left this blank?
Out of the five terms, I explained 4 (I skipped diglossia - and that was the easiest ever, I should have known). And it turns out I didn't have a clue about interlanguage and I explained it all wrong. I don't know how I did with prescriptive approach, I guess I got it half correct.. But at least I knew what antonyms and noun phrases are! Still: argggh.. And my essay was bad (note: I always say this and then get good grades but this time, my essay really sucked).
So I take I'm not going to the university of Jyväskylä. I'm counting on Tampere and Joensuu... *rolls eyes*
Jyväskylä was very pretty though. I could easily live there. And why didn't anyone tell me about all those men? Honestly! All these years without having a slightest idea. Oh, those lucky people who get to see them all the time.. :p
Me and Marianna went to this all you can eat buffet thingy last night (7.49€). Gosh.. I don't think I've ever eaten that much before. And the odds are I never will. I almost died. But the salads were wonderful! I only had two slices of pizza abecause I was concentrating on salads. Marianna had it the other way round. I still can't understand how she is so slim.. She ate more than I did!
Anyway, we had fun while trying to guess who of the passerbys might be Riku. Hehee.. Well, we didn't actually spot the little guy (we think!) but we still had a laugh.
I just used the words "the little guy" of someone who's probably twice as tall as me. But for me, he is the little guy. Riku can say and do all he wants but he'll always be the 13-year-old Buffy fan for me. That's his burden. Or is it mine?

First Friday Five:
1. What's the last vivid dream you remember having? I dream a lot and usually remember those too. And mostly they're very vivid. The last one? Ummm.. I was playing bandy and taking drugs and then threw up. There was lots of other stuff going on too but those were the main points, me thinks.
2. Do you have any recurring dreams? I've had the same dream once or twice but recurring, not really.
3. What's the scariest nightmare you've ever had? It involved this Yoda look-a-like thingie and he was burning down houses. He was evil but tried to convince me he was my friend. The story is longer and the dream itself wasn't the scariest ever but it's had most effect on me. I was five. And I'm still a bit afreaid of Yoda. :p
4. Have you ever written your dreams down or considered it? Why or why not? I haven't. I've thought about it, yes, but I'm just so lazy that I can't be bothered. I have a friend who keeps a dream journal though (waves to Emmu).
5. Have you ever had a lucid dream? What did you do in it? I've had several. They're just like my other dreams but I know I'm dreaming. No biggie.
And then the stuff I actually wrote first...:
Aahhh.. I think I'm going to die. I'm so nervous. And afraid. And all that.
I'm off to Jyväskylä now. I'll be taking those university exams now. And I feel like I don't know a thing! Well, maybe a thing because it's English I want to study, but you know what I mean.. I can't remember the fancy terms and such. I can't take this. Noooooo!
Wish me luck.

What? Lse's been to Finland and I didn't know?? Where was I? Oh wait, in Manchester :p
I would like to know who are the Hanna and James Marsters she remembers seeing to get together over here as they certainly weren't the ones in Manchester. :D
I realised something today. I can't even remember when was the last time I made a layout for myself. I always think about what others will think and end up messing the whole thing up. Fansites and cliques are a different thing altogether as I make those sites for others but my collective and this blog, these two are for me. So today I got an inspiration and made a new layout for LW. Too bad I can't upload it right away as I'm once again having a sleepover at my sisters. I can blog here, but uploading, no way.
Hehee.. I'm such a geek. I bought Empire and Arena For Men today from work (both had Star Wars things in them). I didn't have any money with me so when my shift ended, I went to get some money and bought them then. I was hoping that Heidi wouldn't even notice the Arena (Empire alone was bad.. I mean, 65 pages of AOTC!) but no such luck. "What is this Arena anyway???" errr.. so there I was explaining the whole Arena deal. Magazine for men, but great film reviews, blah blah blah..
It's not that I'm embarrassed about buying those mags, it's more that I hate explaining my geekdom for someone who doesn't know me very well. It was the same when i bought the SFX BtVS special issue..
But that Arena had the best Hayden Christensen pics ever. They were so good that I just had to buy the mag even though I'm not the biggest Hayden fan in this world. Come to think of it, Arena is a great mag. The pics are always good and visually it's just beautiful. And I don't remember reading a bad article there ever. So go Arena For Men! W00t! :)

Ah, I decided to post for the second time today, but really, I'm doing a favour for the world. Thanks to the positive comments I got on my wonderful Star Wars art, I've decided to post some of my earlier work. It's only fair since people obviously love my art (and me). :D
michael.jpg - Michael Jackson ; 1997.
riia.jpg - a proof that my friend's unmoving mullet (she shared tips with Obi and Jesus back then) does actually follow the laws of physics ; 1997
wtlgo.jpg - light dates (inspired by Five's single) ; 1998
manson.jpg - bunch of gothy eyes (no mr Valo there) ; 1998
porkkanat.jpg - I've always been obsessed with carrots ; 1998
lauta.jpg - I really wanted to learn how to skateboard but never did.. ; 1999
james.jpg - James Marsters and me --> what really should have happened ; 2001
I found some really amusing ones of me as a donkey, fish and cucumber. There were also lots of aliens, Romeo and Juliet illustrated, Hanna after swallowing a tamagotchi and so on. But these 7 are very dear to me. But where are all my NKOTB stick men comics? Those were great.
Have I ever mentioned my amazing skill to do something really weird and end up in the local newspaper?
Yes, well. I did it again. All in all it has been a very good month for me, first those commie songs and now this. One of our local museums organises these little tours where the guide is a 1920s character. My mum wrote the thing, my sister's the guide. Then there are (or should be..) bunch of people playing other minor roles. So today, I've spent 4 hours as a 1920s style working class housewife, speaking our local dialect no one uses any longer, except maybe my dad, and now I can't stop! Apparently, I'm only 20 years old but have got three kids already. My husband is Andersson and he works at the factory (like all the other men of the area). Oh, and he's alcoholic. I lead a happy life, I see.
Naturally, I was photographed for the local paper, no surprise there. The thing is, I was even photographed for a national house & gardening mag of some kind! Arrrggggh.
Then I went out for a salad with my friend and there was this reporter from our other local paper asking if she could photograph me for a piece on restaurants and pubs.
I said no.
Speaking of that salad, I think there was something wrong with it. It tasted fine but now I feel all nasty. I swear, I'm going to throw up. Also, my arms are very itchy. I guess I've burnt them today, spending that much time outside in lovely sunshine and all. Crap.
Brief notes: two pairs of new shoes. Hurrah!
I just took a little nap of two hours. And I still want to sleep more. Thanks to that nap, I missed one meeting about those museum tours. I don't think I'm really needed there but I think my sister's mad at me for not going. Oh well.
Angelique: If you haven't heard of Beorn, you ought to read the Hobbit :) Pics of Beorn? Don't have any, sorry. I don't have any pics of that dancer either (a lie: I've got one production poster of his on my wall but can't be bothered to scan it).

The Hobbit was effin awesome! I loved it!
Goooo Finnish national ballet! (the dancers were mostly ballet students though)
Yes, ballet dancing Gandalf. For real. Woot! And Gollum, Bilbo, goblins, trolls, elves and dwarves too. The costumes and make-up were wonderful but I'm not too sure about the visual effects. But who cares, the dancing was brilliant! It wasn't classical ballet but ballet nevertheless. I'd love to see it again but that's impossible as it's completely sold-out.
The lady who gave us a short presentation about the story on the way there didn't have a clue what she was talking about though. She kept mentioning a character called "Biblo Repuli", which pretty much translates to "Biblo Bagins". Hmmm. Maybe she's dyslexic? Or just hasn't heard about for example doubble consonants..
Me and my friend kept talking about our newly discovered favourite character Biblo for the whole show. We got some weird looks and only when the show ended, we realised that all those people probably thought we didn't know about the whole Bilbo - Biblo deal. :)
The guy who danced Bilbo was so awesome, though. Or Beorn! He's one of my favourite dancers ever. I know I've written a lot about obsessing over Finnish celebs and all that but you've got adore that guy. He's so friggin talented (and a hottie which doesn't make him any worse.. hehe). I've only seen him perform four times, I think, but it's always a joy. This is the first time he wasn't doing modern folk dancing. FIrst I was a bit afraid he wouldn't be that good but woooooo.. I should've known better. He was great. Sigh.
I think I pervily fancy him :p I'm not the only one though. My sister's the same.
He's a friend of my friend('s friend) though so that makes it seem very forbidden. Oh well. I'll never meet him anyways.
Also, I think it's becoming a bit too popular to like this guy as he is in this very popular Finnish soap nowadays. Darn it. I won't mention any names, but some of us have liked him two years running... ;)
The ballet thing was nice for another reason as well. There was a huge group of us there but two seats were in different place so me and my friend got them as we were a wee bit like outsiders there anyway. I spent the entire evening with him, from 5pm to 10:30pm. I even gave him a lift home. It was lovely as I haven't seen him in ages. And it was like a date without all the romance crap there. Hurrah! No romance crap = I can freely fancy anyone I want in a pervy way and talk about it. My friend listened all of it and didn't complain. He's very nice that way.
In other news: I think I should be awarded as the fanartist of the year. I just drew this for mum yesterday and am very proud of it.. whee.. ;) --> anakin&obi.jpg I mean, am I talented or what??
I think mum's going nuts because of Star Wars. I've been trying to explain the basic plot for her but I always get distracted and start explaining the lightsaber fights in very detailed way, with sounds and all that. I think she'd be very happy not to hear the words "Star Wars" or "Jedi" or "Darth Vader" ever again.

I think I got an overdose of Buffy yesterday, especially season 3. And never knew that would be possible, but apparently it is. I hadn't watched any episodes in ages and then I watched 4 in a row. After that I just felt like saying no to season 3 for the rest of my life.
But I couldn't do that. I love it too much. Ah, season 3 <3 I think I like season 4 even more though. Why? Spike and Riley! w00t! And Angel is so whiny and annoying during season 3.. I don't know. Makes me think what the hell it is in him that makes all the women swoon over him. Because I honestly can't see it. Season 1 Angel. Now, that was nice.
I need to buy new socks. I don't have any decent socks anymore. And my darling frog socks have died. Nooo!
Edit: Oh, Linak is very right. Being obsessed with Ville Valo is way better than being obsessed with for example Christina Aguilera. I find that extremely scary! And I can see that mr valo is the perfect object of obsession, even if he was very arrogant at this years Emmas. That voice is amazing.. I never remember how much I like it until I actually listen to the CDs (which I did today, so it's all fresh in my memory). I still prefer obsessing over non-Finnish peeps, though. But for Linak, Angelique et al, Ville is the foreign celeb.
"Interesting" piece of information for those who didn't know: Valo is Finnish for the word "light".
Saturday, May 18, 2002
< edit > w00t! New layout at Pervy! And isn't it nice??
I find Linak's obsession with Ville Valo extremely fascinating. I know what it's like to be obsessed with a celeb, and agreed, Ville is very fanciable especially to some people, but being obsessed with a Finnish celebrity just seems.. I don't know. Wrong?
This is such a small country after all. And we're very calm and shy. If we see a celeb somewhere, we don't freak out (excluded from the stereotype: the fans of Jasper Pääkkönen / cheesy boybands). We don't even openly stare. We glance them quickly, turn away and then glower at them thinking they don't notice.
I don't even see Finnish celebs as "real" celebrities. They are just a big bunch of mr Joe regulars with more public jobs, that's all, there's no glamour there. Granted, that only works in theory. Once I see a celeb I like, I turn into one of those oh-so-clever glowerers too.
But still from my point of view, Ville Valo is just another (very eccentric) bloke who happens to sing in a great band. I would call myself a fan of his occassionally. And there are a bunch of Finnish musicians and actors I really admire. But hysterical fandom and / or obsession, that's somewhere far away.
This all comes from a girl who has a Ville Pusa layout at her blog. Suddenly I feel very stupid. Maybe should change the layout? I don't feel comfortable with Ville P. there anyway. It just seems too weird.
And no. Not all the Finnish male celebrities are called Ville. :)
ps. Angelique; since you asked, I dyed my hair reddish brown..
Friday, May 17, 2002
Since Friday Five seems to be such a popular phenomenon, I might as well give it a shot.
1. What shampoo do you use? Whatever I remember to buy. But I love my Organics. <3
2. Do you use conditioner? What kind? I have to. I couldn't live without conditioner.. I always have the same conditioner as shampoo, so now Organics. And then I have this leave-in conditioner from el'vital.
3. When was the last time your hair cut? Last Saturday. I also had it dyed. No more ugly gray roots, hurrah!
4. What styling products do you use? Since the Obi-Wan products aren't on sale yet, I happily use Herbina styling mousse & hairspray.
5. What's your worst hair-related experience? Having hair? I have a bad hair life. When I was 14 I had my hair cut short and because the hairdresser wouldn't listen to my suggestions, I ended up looking like a 45-year-old who wanted to look very hip. And when I was a kid, I kept cutting my own hair and then mum would take me to the hairdressers to get one of those bowl-cuts for me again. I had many of those back then.
Might re-consider those bowl-cuts.. mmm..
No.
I've got a new desk! A real desk. No more old kitchen tables for Hanna. Hurrah!
It's so nice. I love it. I love my sister who gave it to me! She bought it last January and now decided she doesn't want it any longer (I understand her completely. It was either this desk or bed, she's been sleeping on the sofa this far..). And thus, I benefit. It also gave my room a bit of a new look, which was more than welcome. I still need to reorganise my posters but can't be bothered now.
Woot! This band sounds so good. I can't believe they're Finnish. Where to get the single? --> Personal Aspect

Aaaaaaargggggggggggggggggggggggggggghh.
As dictators go, you're kind of pathetic! Instead of military coup or systematic persecution to get power, you just happen to be the head of the only party in the UK that isn't totally worthless! While not very impressive it is none the less effective! You can do whatever the hell you like without any chance of getting voted out of office! People know that the only alternative would have them eating their children if they ever got back into power! However, you still think that you are as loved as you were when you were first elected into power… News flash for you: You're not!
Holy cow! I just came home from Attack of the Clones. This means two things. 1) I actually drove there as the cinema I went to is 15km away. 2) I saw it the first day. Whee! I think the last (and only) film I've seen the first day before this is the Flinstones or something. But going alone to see the latest Star Wars made me feel a bit weird though. I felt like such a geek! Oh well. I wasn't the only geek there.. About 25 of us there. Only 25! That was strange.
The film itself.. it left me feel a bit blank. It wasn't good or bad. It just was. Same thing goes for Mr Hayden (who undeniably has got a very pretty smile). A few things annoyed me though.. the texts in the beginning of the film, "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away" and all that shit, it was in Finnish. I think it was in Finnish in episode 1 as well but still.. argggg. We have subtitles everywhere else, why not there? But that was just a small thing. What I can't stand is Jedis becoming more and more like action heroes. The big chases are ridiculous. And they've even got the bad one-liners now! Give them a bit more sweat and a tighter shirt and voilá! The new Arnold is born.
But I'm still looking forward to episode 3.
I have a question of the whole thing where Emily and me are both Billy Boyd and Obi-Wan and thus the same person and starred in LOTR and SW. Does that make us Christopher Lee? Because if you think of a person who's starred in both, a picture of BB or master Kenobi isn't the first thing that comes to your mind, is it? Actually. That would give us a possibility to be Marton Csokas or Jay Laga'aia as well.
Augh, no! I take the last one back. Marton Csokas inevitably makes me think of Celeborn. Or more accurately, Marton Csokas as Celeborn. And that gives me nightmares.
But I like to think Christopher Lee is the evil mastermind behind all this. He gives this charming English gentleman act but pfffft, I know what he really wants is to take over the world.
Edit: I swear, there's a website for everything.
Augh! I got some clothes from my sister yesterday (us both gaining more weight all the time makes the shopping cheap for me - I always get her old ones, and they're not *that* old just a few years or so - and usually only worn a few times). Now I'm washing them but it seems like this is turning into another horrifying washing machine experience. I swear that machine has something against me.. it's evil. It works with well mum and my sister but when I try to use it, things turn out nasty.
Aaaaa! What was that sound? *dies*
Wednesday, May 15, 2002
I'm too lazy to write anything tonight so I'll just post up some quiz results I've forgotten to put anywhere earlier..Warning: this is like the most boring entry ever. A few Obi-Wan comments though. Who could resist Obi-Wan? Thought so.
 I tashte like Alcohol.
Heh. Heh. I taste like beer. I like beer. Buy me a beer. I'm not drunk, I can drink plenty without... What was I saying? Beer. What Flavour Are You? |
Find your inner donut.
Beer and chocolate. That's just nasty! No wait, that's me really. And online tests never lie, do they? :) We shall move on.
How Gay Are YOU? [?]
Which Episode II character are you?
Probably the greatest Jedi Knight of all. Like Obi Wan, you are wise and keep your feet on the ground at all times. You will not be outsmarted by anyone. You are always faithful to your friends. Be careful though, danger lurks around every corner - you could even be betrayed by those closest to you.
Wheee! I am the ultimate cool. I shall not know anger. Nor hatred. Nor love. I can control the love department easily, considering all the action I've had in the past ever. Anger and hatred can be problem though. But as soon as I learn to control myself, and my hair!, I shall be Obi-Wan. Hurrah!
And one last result. I found this amusing. It's my past life!
You were male in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere around the territory of what is now know as modern Tibet, approximately in the year 1475.
Your profession was: artist, magician, fortune teller.
A brief psychological profile of you in that past life:
Bohemian personality, mysterious, highly gifted, capable to understand ancient books. Magician abilities, could be a servant of dark forces (Hanna's note: again, I am the ultimate cool even though this doesn't fit with the whole Obi-Wan thing).
A lesson that your last past life wishes you to learn in your present life is:
The timid, lonely and self-confident people are everywhere, and your problem -- to overcome these tendencies in yourself and then to help other people.

I see Rae left me a comment. Hmm. She wasn't supposed to see that. I envy her behind her back. Erm.. Once again I forgot that this blog really is public. Heh.
But I'm feeling better now, I just had a bad day yesterday. And about web stuff, I decided it doesn't matter.
What the hell??
Usually people gets zits on their face. Not me. My zit invaded body parts are neck and chest. And I just found one from my wrist! Wrist!! No wait, there's another one. There's a possibility it's some kind of rash or whatever. It isn't pretty let me tell you.
I'm a little evil stealing monster. I just nicked a Harry Potter poster from work. The video and DVD will come out tomorrow and there's been a campaign. If you pre-order those, you get a poster for free. Naturally the campaign ended today so I took the poster. It's not even a very good one. But I still thought it was cool. And I didn't take one of the new ones, I took the one used for advertising. It would have probably ended up in trash bin anyway, so I actually saved it. Yes, yes. I saved the innocent Harry Potter poster from evil trash.
Heh-heh. Have youseen Obi-Wan's hair in the episode 2 promo pictures? How does he do it?? That must take a huge amount of hairspray.. He could have his own commercial. Or own brand! That would be cool. I'd definitely use it.
"Looks are important to me. I want to look good in every situation and for that I need a very special hairspray. Wheter I'm training a new Jedi or fighting the dark side, I always know every single hair in my head is in place. And that is all thanks to the Obi-Wan Hair Laboratoires. Obi-Wan Hairspray - because I'm worth it."
Or maybe Obi-Wan's been getting tips from Jesus! I saw this one Jesus film when I was about 12. He was standing in sandstorm and not one hair in his head moved.
This is too sad. I actually found that whole Obi-Wan / Jesus thing funny. I think I've stayed up too long. And I have an early morning tomorrow.. nooo! Of course it's me who to work the one morning ever that Philosopher's Stone comes out on video and DVD. I'm predicting a hellish day.
Edit: Emily, don't skip the comments! I loved the one about Sauron in a g-string singing! I'll treasure it forever.. *insert wicked laughter here*
Right now, the first time ever, I'm terribly missing Forces of Darkness. I got a great idea for a layout and then it hit me. There will never be another layout for FOD again. Never. Weep.

Sigh. The button I made for ears keeps popping up on half the sites that link to her. She never credited me for making that button. I won't e-mail her and complain as that button is a very ugly one which I made half asleep. But still. She promised me credit. Sniff.
I've been thinking about the whole webmaster deal a lot lately. I mean, there are some who are above all the others. Little Willow, Rae, Janine, people like them. Everyone knows who they are. Well, especially all the Buffy people know them.
Rae used to be my idol, she still is in a way. I wanted to be as good as her. A while back I realised that will never happen. So I gave up trying that hard. I enjoy her collective muchos but dread to visit it because she always comes up with something beautiful and original which makes me feel miserable because it's not mine. And then others copy her. And I copy those who copy her. Rae is the Jack Fairy of webdesign. (note: have you seen fringe's latest layout? because that is divine!)
But I don't know if I'd really like to be that well-known. Even now I'm under a lot of pressure. I've improved a lot during the last year, especially this spring and now people expect a good layout after another. Well, not as much people as my myself. I can't take criticism and if someone doesn't like my layout I feel terrible. And that's why I try to get better all the time. And that's getting too much for my little head. So really, I'm the one causing all the pressure, not anyone else. I can't blame anyone! Nooo! Darn it.
Conclusion: I'm glad I'm not Rae. But at the same time, I'm very envious. I want her talent. I feel like I'm not worthy. Meh.
I'll try to feel better tomorrow. Today is Hanna's Official Self-Pity Day. I need these every once in a while.

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey was on telly last night. Hurrah! I was finally able to tape it. I've had Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure for a few years, but not Bogus Journey. I love those two.. Bill and Ted are sacred. <3
But can anyone tell me what's the word Bill uses all the time.. "this is mostly non-non-non-non-*beeeb*". It's really bugging me.
Emmu, Emppu and me were supposed to watch Phantom Menace (they wanted to, not me - I still think it's boring on small screen) after Bill and Ted but Emppu didn't feel like it after all. So we watched Fabio's A Time For Romance instead. Hee. I swear, that is one of the best things ever filmed! If not the best! 35 minutes of Fabio's fantabulous acting. And don't you think he's the best looking man you've ever seen?
Seriously. I think Fabio's evil. Actually, I think Fabio's the beginning of all evil.
Woo! My last post got 6 comments. I think that's the best one I've ever had. Of course 3 of those were Anna-Leena's but I don't care. Oh and Alli (who I've finally plugged in my frequents..): no, I'm not making an Orlando layout.. I'll leave that for you :)
And yes Virve, "elden bara brinner, brinner inom mig" is from a Ville Pusa song. Ingen vinner, if I'm not wrong. I suck with those lyrics as my Swedish is terrible. But if I keep listening to Silver as much as I do now, I should learn them soon enough.
Emmu, why don't you ever comment? I know you read this. Harumph.

New layout. Nothing fancy, just Ville.. I adore Tobey but he had to go. I think Tobey layouts will pop up here and there anyway, with Spiderman around and everything.
I'm tired and feeling shit. I've got a flu and I just want to sleep for a week. Unfortunately I can't do that. I need to work tomorrow.. It's only four hours but even that is too much when you feel like your head is going to explode any minute and you can't really speak well because it hurts too much. Scheisse.
Amusing thing. I live in a tiny, tiny town, right? Guess who's here! Australia's A bandy team, that's who. If that's the correct term.. well, nevermind. They're preparing for the world championships and wanted to practise against some alright but not great team. So they came here. From Australia! That is insane. It's like the opposite side of the globe! Oh well. Not that I mind. I went out to get some noodles and when I came out ogf the door, I found myself standing in the middle of about 30 sporty 20-something guys.. heh. And when I came home, I saw them again. I skipped the game though. I couldn't care less.
Need. Some. Sleep. I got hardly any last night.. I just wasn't tired. And when I finally started to feel sleepy after about 2am, my throat was so sore I couldn't sleep. And I had morning shift today. Killer. Gah.

Crap. I bought new shows last Saturday and wore them for my friend's birthday party. Her boyfriend, for some reason, wanted to borrow them so I let him in exchange for his shoes. His feet aren't very big for guy's but still a lot bigger than mine. And now my shoes are too big for me. They keep falling off.. annoyance. They're flip-flop-kind. How to shrink flip-flops? Hmmm.
I watched The Gift last night. It was alright.. something bugged me, though. Yes. Keanu Reeves. No matter what he does, I always find him very unconvincing. It's the voice, methinks. No wait, he's very convincing Ted. Hurrah for Bill & Ted! :D
Today I watched Saving Silverman. Aaaaaargh! Possibly the worst film I've ever seen. The whole Neil Diamond plot line was about the only good thing in the film. Steve Zahn: I love you muchos but could you please star in better films from now on?
I can't understand it. A man who has such roles as in Sammy in Reality Bites & Lenny in That Thing You Do! (average film, great part) in his credits, does crap like Saving Silverman. Sigh. Maybe I'm just not meant to understand..
Speaking of films, how do Harrison Ford and Michael Douglas do it? They're in all the films! Really, you can pick up almost any film you want and find another one of those two in it. It's amazing. I think it's some kind of conspiracy

I went to work an hour early today. Embarrassing. I just walked in and said "want me to take over right away?" and Heidi was like "what the fart you're doing here this early??". Hmm.
I had very distressing dream about this old friend of mine last night. I don't want to go into detail or even mention names because I don't want to go through it again. It made me feel really bad. And worried. Is he doing alright? I haven't seen him for a few years. I just saw his parents last week but I didn't have time to ask. Aaaah. I don't know how I even dreamed of him. I haven't thought about him for a good while. Aaah. I really hope he's fine.

Wheee! Markus sent me this ages ago (two years?) but I was stupid and lost the link. Now I found it accidentally from phancy.com. Hurrah! Beware, it's Tunak Tunak!!! :)
I've done it now. I finally filled in the application forms for universities. God, I feel so ancient! University! And the funny thing? I should've done it last year already. But I think this past year has been good for me, I think I've matured a lot. I'm still not a responsible adult or anything (hey, I still talk about Jude sexbots!) but dealing with things like unemployment, depression and taking more responsibility at work does its job and changes you wheter you want it or not. I'm not the same girl I was last summer.
Is it just me or are everyone's friends very annoying when they get drunk? I'm not talking about all of my friends but some of them. I honestly can't stand their company when they're being.. whatever they're being then. It's like a mask they put on and think it's cool. I don't know. I know I get very annoying when I drink. One more reason why I've skipped the bar nights more often than not lately. Sigh. I guess I really am the granma now.

This small-ish entry is in Finnish. Sorry. Wait, why am I sorry? It's my blog after all. And many of the people who read this speak Finnish anyway. But, if any Finnish-speaker happens to mind, all I can say is, don't. It really isn't worth it.. you're not missing anything. (except some really bad and wannabe-perverted "poetry")
Hei herranjumala! Mä en voi elää. Apua! Älkää kysykö, miten mä tän löysin, mä en tiedä.. Tai itse asiassa tuo oli vale: ainahan minä surffailen perjantai-iltaisin Demin keskustelufoorumeissa :D < /sarkasmi > Joka tapauksessa. Tähän törmäsin ja meinasin kuolla. Mä oon aina luullu, että TSH-aiheinen RPS on kierouden huipentuma, mutta olen todistettavasti ollut väärässä. Katsokaapas nimittäin tätä.
"Oireita allergian Sami sai, Frodosta, tämän peniksestä kai"
"Legolas, komistus metsien, astuu kaapistaan ulos empien:
pelottaa maailma miesten ja naisten,sillä tuttu Legolle vain maailma homoseksuaalien...."
"Arwen Konkaria katselee,makaa, asento 69 heillä on vakaa...."
8-O Musta tuntuu, että mun viaton mieleni on tuhottu lopullisesti.
Joskin mun mielestä nimimerkkinä "Apua olen Elijah Wood" on jokseenkin nerokas... Itse silloin taannoin aktiivisina postailupäivinä taisin olla "ShagaSpike" tai joku muu siihen liittyvä. Mielikuvitus on aina ollut Hanna-tyttelillä loistelias. Verbaalinen lahjakkuus ja niin edelleen. Kyllä huomaa (edellämainitusta sekä kieliopista tässä mielentilassa), että kirjailijaperheestä tässä ollaan lähtöisin.
Joo, näin se homo etenee.. tai jotain. Helvetti. Pakko mennä nukkumaan. Kello varttia yli yheksän! Nooooooo! Nyt mä en ainakaan voi elää. Mää en haluu olla mää!
Edit: Hehhee.. kuka meni nukkumaan ja kuka ei. Tää on ehkä Demin parhaimmistoa. Keskustelun aihe on "kuka on paras hahmo" (kertoo jo nerokkuudesta jotain, eikö??). Siteeraan: 1-Pippin (paras siinä kohdassa, kun ne on just menny yhen metsän yli ja Se mikä Ian onkaan sanoo, et "Gentleman! We do not stop, there in this night for" pippin vastaa:" What about Brekfast?, Ian:"No We had it" Pippin sanoo jotai, mist en saa selvää, ja sit se sanoo: "What about second Brekfast?"
Mwahahahahahaaa! Tää pelasti kyllä mun päiväni. :D
I just watched A.I. Hmmmmm.. I don't know. It was weird. I could sense this certain kubrickness in it. I mean the ending. But because Steven Spielberg isn't Stanley Kubrick (heh.. even Steven Spielberg can dream!), I don't think he was able to pull it off very well. Shame. Jude's very pretty, though. Sexbot like that would be nice :p I wonder, would I get him for my birthday if I added him to my wishlist?? And yes, I know that "sexbot" isn't the preferred term :D
You know what completely ruined the film for me? The subtitles! Nothing wrong with the translation (for once!) but the text itself. I could've coped with the ugly font but it was yellow for goodness sake! What is this? The early 80s?? The subtitles made me think of Alf for some reason. And as far as I remember, Alf had white subtitles. Strange.
I really need to write some e-mail. I've got time now too. I could also upload DNO's new layout but I still don't know wheter Virve wants to see it first or not.

The first of May. The May Day. The celebration of work, socialists and loonies who like to get drunk. I had wonderful time yesterday, lurvely! I can't be bothered to get into absolute detail, but my May Day's eve included selling beer, cider & long drinks for funny theatre people, getting a bit tipsy myself and singing old commie songs at the top of my lungs - in public! I do not sing in public! Agh! I was even photographed for the local newspaper... How nice :| I saw some pictures of me that were taken yesterday. I looked terrible. The colors really clashed as I was wearing my bright red pants. I had a black shirt but for the performance, I had to wear this strangely green shirt.. Just try to imagine it. Gah. Well, don't care. I'd definitely do it again. Once more, with (even more) feeling.. :p
I can post a pic later but can't now as I'm staying at my sister's for the moment. I should get back home tomorrow but you never know...
My Scribble is gone now. Sob. As I was loading the rest of the entries the other day, I remembered how much I loved the thing. It was the thing that kept me sane last fall.. All those entries! Aaa! Being heart-broken but determined to get the boyfriend back (what was I thinking??), getting my driver's lisence, discovering bb.net and the secret diaries, being so-not-jesus and small purple paramecium, thoughts about the Irish, the LOTR madness when I first saw the film (and fell for Legolas..!).. all the crap. I'll miss it even though I think I prefer the blog. Sigh.
Off to watch some telly. And American Pie 2. It's probably bad but at least I got it for free (whee.. upsides of my job). We tried watching it last night but Milla fell asleep immediately and I after about 15 minutes..
