Oi! I forgot one CD from my brithday wishlist:
Lemonator's Waltz. I want that.
I ought to surf some Billy sites.. Eternity's links need updating badly. I still have some time.. some.. augh! I hate busy weekends! When am I supposed to relax? Most annoying.
I have finally seen Empire Records. Hurrah. It wasn't that good really. But at least I've seen it. It's one of those films you need to see, I don't know why though. Young Ethan Embry, sweet.
ps. I am on my way to becoming a real glam rock star. From now on, I shall be called Scarlet Mutation. See you in the spotlight.

Nothing to write today. Just another day. Not even any half interesting yoga conversations going on. How depressing.
Birthday wishlist:
George's All Thing Must Pass CD
Kerkko Koskinen's Rakkaus viiltää CD
Nickelback's Silverside Up CD
The Calling's unpronouncable & unwriteable debut CD
Placebo's Without You, I'm Nothing CD
The Unfinished Tales by JRR Tolkien (not CD!)
Money
If I don't get all of those, I shall be very unhappy cry.
So, see you red-eyed on September 30th. Good.
Why oh why does William Katz write so boring books?! I regret ever starting to read those. Sigh.

I didn't go swimming yesterday after all. Signing up for that stupid yoga class took us an hour. The line was so long I was certain we wouldn't get in. But we did. The joy! Conversation I had with the lad of next room last night.
Esa: Rough day?
Hanna: U-huh. I've just stared blankly at the walls all day. Very exhausting.
Esa: I believe that.
Hanna: But we did sign up for yoga today. It took an hour.
Esa: What kind of yoga?
Hanna: Just your common, basic yoga.
Esa: *hysterical laughter* Common basic yoga?
Hanna: No, I mean.. shite. Ok. It's not some fancy mystery yoga thingie. Just yoga. That's what the leaflet said. That means it's common, basic yoga for me.
Esa: It might be *insert some mysterious type of yoga here*.
Hanna: Might be.
Esa: Because we're having that course.
Hanna: Could be. The leaflet said Yoga B. There were also Yoga A, Yoga C and Yoga For Everyone.
Esa: *more hysterical laughter*
Hanna: *tired giggle*
Esa: Good night.
Hmmmm..
I like him. Not in fancying way but he's alright. He's a persona. Last Sunday we (him, me and four other girls) went to rent a video and he was wearing only his bathrobe. We got some looks. Imagine that...
I skipped the choir today. I don't know why. I just didn't feel like it anymore. So probably no choir for Hanna. Milla will be disappointed. Too bad for her.
I'm going home this weekend after all. If it just works out the way I've planned, Eternity's new layout will see the daylight. Heehee.. I will change the style completely, that's for certain. I'm bored with the teal thingie.
Oh, and no. I'm not allowed to download any programs. I think I could ask, but the computer staff don't seem too friendly so I'm a bit afraid. I don't like these school computers too much anyway... I like the computers in the backrow because then I can view all the Geoffrey images my friends send me, but these are usually taken. The younger guys are always searching for porn. I find that a bit disturbing.. Gah.
Tuesday, August 27, 2002
I'm having a quick e-mail time now at lunch break so I can go swimming in the evening. Of course, I just got an e-mailI really want to reply to.. blast. But we'll see.
Most embarrassing: in that e-mail, someone (oh, who might that be...?) sent me a link to some Dom images. Here I am, in a computer class with these vast (the screen is huge with 8x6!) Geoffrey images on the screen. I swear I could hear someone behind me snicker.. gaaah!
We're signing up for yoga classes today. I've never even tried yoga but I want something new. And if I do yoga and swimming regularly, I ought to feel happy. Taking care of my physical health and all that shite.
I want to give Eternity a makeover, with BB's birthday coming up and all. Bad thing: I don't think I'll go home in three weeks. Three weeks! That's forever without my beloved files! Cries.

My head hurts. Need fresh air. Aaaaaaagh!
Granpa update: he's feeling better but we still don't know what's wrong.
I'm really starting to like the people in my dorm. They're lovely. We rented a film last night after I got back with my way too heavy bag, all sweaty (my muscles still hurt, gah). We had a blast even though the film was Road Trip.
I love the video rental place near to our dorm. It's the best. It's my heaven! I can't even imagine what it will be like when I bring my *own* VCR.. eep! I bet my school work's going to suffer.
Then again, maybe not. I actually live with two other people in my room. I'd be way too embarrassed to watch telly all the time. They already know about my Buffy obsession though, so I can tape it. Good.
I have an evil domestic / food culture teacher. I don't like her. Nobody else does either. I wish I could skip all her lessons but that's just not possible. Grrrrrr. I bet she thinks she's funny. I bet she thinks she's a really nice teacher. But you can just tell that if you say one thing that she doesn't 100% agree with, she'll turn into the evil bitch monster who won't leave you be ever again.
But film studies is fun. We're watching videos for credit. Today people laughed during "Kauas pilvet karkaavat". It felt wrong. Yoyu shouldn't laugh during that.
Now I really need the fresh air. I think I'm going to faint. Or puke.
Sunday, August 25, 2002
Granpa is ill. I don't know what's wrong but I hear it's pretty bad. Everyone's a bit messed up.
Funny that Anna-Leena should ask, yes, I have seen About a Boy. I didn't go to movies with my roommates on Wednesday because we were all so tired, but I did go with Marie on Thursday. And About A Boy felt like a good choice, because it was not 8 Legged Freaks. :) Anyway. I liked the film. Not as good as the book but alright. My interpretation of the book wasn't that funny but the film worked as a comedy.
I also watched Not Another Teen Movie last night.. teehee. It was just as bad as I thought it would be. Sad thing? I recognised all the films it was mocking. That is just... very very sad thing really.
I'm off to phone my dad. Then I have to leave for Lahti again. My bag is heavy it will probably kill me though.. argh.

Goodbye, evil roommate! Mwahaha!
Ok, now I am paranoid someone from school is reading this.
We discussed my little blog in class today actually. We were talking about ourselves and our hobbies and I mentioned websites. I was asked what kind of sites and I told them about this blog and that I write about films, things I do and people I meet -- Actually. I'm pretty certain I'm not the only one who's paranoid now.
Me and my two new nice roommates are going to see a film tonight. If we can find something nice. Sweetness.
Oh, and I found a LOTR obsessed person. We agreed to have LOTR night someday. I thought about bringing VCR and Jade said she would bring a telly, so, neat. This also means I can tape Buffy. Hurrah!
Tuesday, August 20, 2002
I can understand why Anna-Leena's eyes hurt because of this green. That's very much reason I chose it. Hurrah!
Lahti. Sweet cheese.
I want to go home. Nothing wrong really, I'm just having a little culture shock, that's all.
The dorm is alright and the people there are really nice. Except maybe for my roommate who wants me to move out. But if she decides really to switch roommates, I don't mind. As long as she's the one to go, not me. I will not move to another dorm. No way.
It's funny how some people just seem familiar already. I've met some girls I like a lot and they're just like any other friends. It's fun. And I know there are many, many great people I still haven't met. But how come everyone's so thin?? It is amazing.
Another amazing thing: there are lots of boys with great hair. Very cute hairdos. I like those.
I bought a new skirt today and now have absolutely no money. Sigh. What I would desperately need is shirts, but can't buy those as I really am broke. It's very depressing really. I will be completely penniless until May. Weird. I was so used to having money. Not a lot of it, but at least some.
I am lost. I want to go shopping or something. And I really want The Calling CD, I can't keep Emmu's copy forever. I think I need to return it next weekend. What will I do without it? Nooo!

Rooby-rooby-doo!
So, ok, Scooby Doo wasn't the greatest of films but I knew I was going to love Matthew Lillard's Shaggy. Hence the new layout, which is pretty ugly, but I don't care. I just felt like changing the look and feel of this blog entirely.
Of course, carrot commentor is still here.
I thought I was going to move today. I woke up early and started to check thing out for the one last time and tadah! It turns out I'm not moving until tomorrow. The dorm doesn't want me there before 8am tomorrow morning. Oh well. Suddenly I had all these exytra hours so I've done a lot of updating (but not actually uploading - yet). Next I'll pack rest of my stuff, eat, have an e-mail fest, upload and then think of something. If I'm still awake.. I'm having trouble with keeping my eyes open.
I want crisps. I'm not hungover but I'm craving for something extremely salty like.. tortilla chips! Aaaaah.. Maybe I'll manage without those.

Grease. Wow. The last time I saw it, I had fever and a really bad flu so I can hardly remember anything from it. This one then.. hmmm.. me and my sister talked about this last night. We're not entriely sure if we liked it. We're not entriely sure if it had any artistic value (I know it's not supposed to have a lot, but at least any). But it certainly was a great show. Exactly that. A show. It left me on a really great mood.
And of course, there's always something special seeing one of your favourite singers up on stage and being darn good.
Even if he has horrendous hair.
Sweet cheese, I swear! It was a ... *gasp* mullet!
Mullet or not, I still like Ville Pusa.
It's the last day of work tomorrow. I know, I know.. I have two shifts next week and will continue working a little bit after that too, but starting on Monday, I will be student. That is weird.
I needed some photos of me for student cards and such so I went to get them done today. Those were the best! Teehee. I mean, I look like a moron, no surprise there but
a) the photgrapher wanted me to smile and that's never good. I look a bit psycothic in those pics.. lunatic in the same way as Christian Slater always looks.
b) I was wearing a white shirt because I was going to work straight from there and the background was very light too. So basically, you can't see my shirt at all and it looks like my lunatic Christian Slater face is floating in the air. Whee! I am very proud of these pictures.
We're going to see Scooby Doo tomorrow. Hurrah for Matthew Lillard!
Wednesday, August 14, 2002
I am most excited.
a) day off tomorrow! Hurrah, hurrah!
b) Grease tomorrow. I love going to shows. Hurrah, hurrah!
c) meeting Virve tomorrow. Hurrah, hurrah!
I eat way too much chocolate nowadays. I'll become huge. Damn the person who invented Tupla Shots! Argh! I'm addicted.
But then again, as a very wise man once said: I like chocolate. There's no bad there.
Tuesday, August 13, 2002
I hate it when people make me wait and don't inform me they'll be late. (hey! that rhymed!)
Grrrr.
I'm sure everybody's very pleased to know thet I smell really bad. Shower doesn't help. It's so hot I feel like I'm melting. Mind you, I probably am. Ugggggh.. why can't it be the nice September rains yet??! I like those.
But really, it's so hot I can't concentrate on anything. I just sit and stare blankly at the wall opposite me.. gah. Let it rain!!!
Monday, August 12, 2002
Today when I was walking home from work at 9:15pm, I suddenly understood something. Xander's line in Buffy vs. Dracula, I finally got it. Now I understand why people think it's hilarious.
Xander: Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. *pause* Bator.
Wow. It only took me a year and a half. But I'm glad I never asked anyone because nothing ruins a joke better than explaining it. And why did I get it now? I tried to think of words that rhyme with "traitor".
Samu canceled our pint date. Why am I not surprised? He said raincheck until tomorrow so I think I'll next see him in November or something. That's just the way it goes.
I'm reading Pride and Prejudice again. I love the book. My second favourite Jane Austen book ever. I just thought it would do me good to read something real (I don't count trash novels as real books). I wish I could read it in English, I find the language so fascinating but it's so difficult. Alas, if I tried reading Austen in English, I'd probably understand every third word or so. Blast.
Zzzzz.
Sunday, August 11, 2002
Happy dance, everybody! Jarkko finally returned my Velvet Goldmine sountrack! Hurrah! I've missed it muchos.
Not so nice: Sir Ian Holm has cancer. Noooooo! I hope he'll be alright. I never realised he was 70 years old already.. I always thought he was 60 or something.
I'm planning to watch Dude Where's My Car today again.. It'll be my third time. Call me strange, but I actually enjoy the film. And because I could take it from work for free as well, why not :) Shibby.
I'm going to see Grease this week with my sister. I really want to see it even though I doubt Marco Bjurström's directing skills.. I just can't believe how expensive it was! I mean, 36 euros for that! That's robbery! I have Thursday off (that's when we're going), so I can go shopping too. I'm in a desperate need of new underwear. And some CDs.. :p

World is evil.
Comfort food is everybody's friend.

So typically me. I decided to update James with some reviews of his guest appereances on telly (Northern Exposure and Millenium). I couldn't find those exact NE tapes the instant I wanted them and wasn't in the mood for watching a very depressing episode of Millenium (he dies!) so I though, fuck it. Instead: "hmmm.. what is this.. You've got mail? Ooh! No one will notice if I don't update the James site yet, right?" So Meg it was again.
I really can't wait for Kate & Leopold. It's got to be good. I cannot cope if it's not.
Then again, I'll probably think it's good even though everybody else might disagree. This is a person who's watched the French Kiss (Meg Ryan & Kevin Kline ) at least three times. And that's bad! But.. Bub Dylan.
Speaking of films - because I'm usually not :p - I watched Monsters Inc. today. Awww.. it was cute. A bit different than I thought but still, cute.
I think I'm addicted to this The Calling CD. Scary!
Wednesday, August 07, 2002
Oh shoot! I want to be.. clique is closed. I liked that one! I got to be Billy's kilt! Oh well. I'll remove the code tomorrow.. now I can't be bothered.
It's 7th of August. The release date of the LOTR DVD. I got mine this morning. I watched it already too. And I cried when Boromir died.. sigh. I don't like the way they'll have the special edition out before Christmas. I don't want to buy it because I want to boycott the evil commercialism but alas, I really want the DVD and unseen footage! If I don't buy it but someone else buys it for me?! That's like, almost getting round it. Yes. I'll definitely add the DVD to my Christmas wish list. It's not impossible. I got the four Harry Potter books last year!
I am Sam was a beautiful film. Nothing like expected but thinking about it, I really didn't expect anything from it. Sean Penn was alright.. he was the part of the film I actually feared most. Maybe he's got some talent after all? Wow. Who would've known.
And I'm off to see what the situation at my work place is. I'm having a day off but my new boss has completely messed things up. I went to see her this morning (when I went to get my DVD) and there she was , in the middle of all this melted ice cream. She had unplugged the freezer yesterday by accident and now all the ice cream, melted. Hehee.. it made me laugh even though I know it's not a nice thing. Bad, bad Hanna.
No one comments anymore. Weep.. I've been forgotten. No one likes me anymore :*(
Just kidding. I don't care about the comments (even though I do like them). I mean, I don't get comments for my regular diary. Does that make me sad? No. Quite the contrary actually. Hmm.
Monday, August 05, 2002
Oh, the disappointment. I really wanted to watch 54 today - I was sort of in the mood for it. I thought my sister still had it and when I came here, I started looking for it. It turns out, she's returned it a good while ago and so I have it at home. Doh. So Dirty Dancing it is for tonight then.
Speaking of Breckin Meyer (well, sort of.. he is in 54 after all..), why didn't anyone tell me he was married to Deborah Kaplan? Not that it makes any difference considering my little life or anything. It's just the kind of funny tidbit of useless knowledge I usually know. So, strange.
It's so weird to think that in two weeks I will be living somewhere completely different with a new roommate I know nothing of. It's very scary.. kind of like a leap to unknown. Again. So many things I should get done by the time I move. I'll never get them done. Yes, it's a good thing to start panicking early! Wheee..
I'm listening to The Calling which I borrowed from Emmu today. I think I'm having a crisis because of it. The singer's voice is lovely, kind of Nickelback-y tone to it, but to think of his age. And the way he looks! It just doesn't fit. But as long as I'm not thinking anything but the voice, I think this is my new favourite CD <3
Stupid microwave. It just ruined my popcorn.

Chain of Fools was the strangest film.
And dead boring too.
Hanna: should I rent this one or this one, what do you think?
Pekka: You haven't seen this one right? Take it.
Hanna: Ok.
Pekka: Hey! Isn't that The Lord of the Rings???!
Hanna: Well, uh, Lord of the Rings, no. Elijah Wood, yes.
And now I've done it.
I've performed funny acrobatics in a swimsuit in front of about hundred people.
Friday, August 02, 2002
Somebody please buy me a brain.
I did something so very embarrassing today I thought I was going to die.
man: could you please exchange this note to coins when you're free?
Hanna: no, you know, we don't have money exchange for men who look like you today.
He thought I was serious! He complained about me to my boss!
My boss understood me though. And defended me. But I know I'll end up in trouble of some kind. I mean, the one time I actually try to be un-grumpy at work, I say something like that to someone who can't take a joke. Everybody knows he can't. Everybody around here. I knew it. Why the hell did I say it?! I was just all cheery. This has made everyone else laugh but I've just been very very ashamed. But I shouldn't worry. I'm not the first person to do this with him and really won't be the last.
Like my dad put it: his sense of humour is on zero level.
But gaah...
This time I am serious. Any brain buying volunteers?
If the Super Villains plot had been the only thing going on in the season finale, I would indeed be all singin' all gershwin' Hanna. Jonathan lives! Whee!
But it wasn't. Stupid, stupid Spike plot.
No you effin' idiots! Don't restore his soul!!!
It's been done already.
And no one really wants to see it. It's all.. blah!
And Tabula Rasa said it all.
Randy: I must be a noble vampire. A good guy. On a mission of redemption. I help the hopeless. I'm a vampire with a soul.
Joan: A vampire with a soul? -- Oh my God, how lame is that??
Thursday, August 01, 2002
I was going to blog about me feeling hollow and paranoid. About how I tried to update my sites, even did some of the update thing itself, but when uploading I felt like I was choking. About how I wanted to e-mail my friends (Virve, Anna-Leena & Emily mainly) but I couldn't start. About how I wanted to blog at DNO but couldn't do that either. I was going to blog about eating until I feel sick but in the end not throwing up because I know it would be wrong. About feeling like I don't exist but still at the same time everyone's watching me. I was going to blog about how people stare at me on the street when I carry fat&salt free ricecakes, them thinking either "poor girl, good thing she realises she needs to lose weight" or "who does she think she's kidding? she knows we know she has that brie and two ice lollies in her bag". I was going to blog about how I put on blank, fake smile and wave my hand cheerily whenever I see someone I know so they'd think I'm alright. About how I didn't make myself tidy up my room even though I promised myself I would. About how I want to create new layouts but I have designers block. About how computer depresses me, yet I'm drawn to it. I was going to blog about how I hate going to my aunt's 50th birthday staight from work on Saturday and meet all the relatives. About how I pormised to do this ridiculous performance with my sister, both wearing tights (and yes, the point would be that we both look hideous in tights). I was going to blog about all that.
Then I watched Josie and the Pussycats and cheered up for a while.
That is gone now but I still don't feel like writing about those things. So yet again, I'm going to write about season 6 of Buffy. Those of you who don't want to know or don't just care (which would probably everyone who reads this), you can stop reading now.
Jeesh.
Spike and Anya, no!
That is just ... wrong. I know, back in the FOD top 5 days I had them one of my top 5 u/c ships, but even then I didn't really want to see it. My innocent eyes have been violated deeply and I don't think I'll ever be the same again.
Also, Tara, no! Joss is an evil, evil man. Killing or otherwise removing the characters I like. That is not fair. Of course, now the Willow plot got far more interesting (and I knew it was coming) but it's still cruel. And now the Super Villains have to die, which is a shame. Or then not, they were losing their touch a little. But if Jonathan dies, I just cannot cope. I love Jonathan. But I'll see that tomorrow. Either I'll be all singin', all gershwin' Hanna or then completely devastated.
Riley showing up was a place for a happy dance but it didn't turn out to be such a happy twist after all. Getting married like that? Pffft. He should be married to me. I like cheese!
And I miss Giles. Even Oz even though he's been gone for ages. The show's lacking guys. Spike so Buffy-whipped it makes me sick, and Xander's been.. well, very un-Xander.
I don't know.. Even though this season has been really good, it's been really depressing as well. Almost every episode has made me cry - especially the one about mental institution thingie, that just terrified me. What is real? is this reality? The episode was much more effective than eXistenZ (the goal was pretty much the same). I miss the happy episodes. I miss the funny.
