Is it just me or does Christopher Eccleston look like Ralph Fiennes?! Just wondering.
Anna-Leena went to see Four Star Mary in October and forgot to tell me! Most unfair! Not her forgetting to tell me but her going in general.. she even got to speak to the guys. I'm most envious right now.
Checking out John Malkovich & Dustin Hoffman's ages. The father - son thingie started really bugging me. Years between the two: 16. Verdict: will do.
More IMDb thoughts: I never knew Jennifer Ehle was Rosemary Harris's daughter..
I'm going back to Lahti today already. This is terrible. I never want to go back.. everytime I'm here, people over there don't seem real. Just like I'd made them up or something.. :|
I'll get Now Or Never next Wednesday. Hurrah!
I really need to sort out one drawer.. I never dare to open it - you never know what might have set a shop there - except today. I found piles and piles of old photos, from my early childhood to few years back. I didn't even remember taking half of those! So now I'm dreaming of these neat, sorted photo albums with all those pictures in them.. *gaze*

Farewell, JM.com - I have loved you dearly. It makes me sad to see you go.
Thursday, November 28, 2002
I may love IMDB, but this is getting really disturbing now. I'm surfing it to find out how old Fabio is! Somebody asked me today and I didn't know so it started bugging me.
To save all you Fabio fans out there from the trouble I can tell you that Fabio Lanzoni was born 15th of March, 1959.
:p
But why oh why isn't A Time For a Romance listed in his filmography! That's a piece of art if I ever saw one.
And because I find all this Fabio talk very amusing right now, I shall say no more :D
I'm off to FilmTown to rent a video with Mikko. Another shared movie night with him.
Wednesday, November 27, 2002
Oh.. it's a given but I thought I'd declare it to the world anyway.
I love IMDb! <3
Good grief. Note: do not view Virve's new layout when your in a school computer lab with big bunch of other people. It's mortifying. Even more than having gazillion Hetty Wainthropp screencaps appear on the screen right out of the blue. Or the dancing Spiderman gif.. aaah!
Insomnia caught me again.. blast. I'm so tired it's not even near anything half-funny. I'm not the only one though. Seems like at home (meaning the dorm now), almost everyone's most pissed off and the others just try to keep out of the way. well, most of them. I almost said some really nasty things to this girl yesterday but instead just walked away --> was very proud too. Hurrah for me being clever!
It's the laundry day again. Lovely. I hope the new washing machine will be nicer to me than it was last Friday.. honestly. I never knew I could be so furious at a machine.. Marie tried to calm me down (poor girl, had to witness my bad temper and all) but there was nothign to be done. I just yelled. Rage.

Titta's new roommate: talks a lot. Scary.
I would hate to be in her position.. just out of the blue come to live with 18 people who've been living together sfor 3 months already.
Nebula's got this new webmail system and I'm trying it out. It's so weird! I mean, it's logical and all, but it's so different it'll get a while to get used to it.
I'm obsessed with Nick Carter. NOOO! I really want the album as I'm bored with the Help Me single already. I only listen to tracks 1 and 4 from it anyway. I'm just so broke right now that I can't put 20e to something as useless as a CD. Of course we could always argue about the uselessness of CDs but on average scale, you know what I'm talking about.
I really need more sleep. I nodded off at the literature class today again. Actually, that's a bit of wrong choice of words.. I didn't nod off, I really slept for an hour. Not too bad though. The only thing I missed was half of this really bad film version of Death of the Salesman. Who the hell casts Dustin Hoffman as John Malkovich's dad anyway?
I've been wondering the signifigance of this school lately actually. All I do is play word games all the time... I never would've thought that with re-arranging the letters in "Backstreet Boys" you get suchs words as secret, arse and oyster.. gaaah. Need to get motivated!

Typical. I skip the film tonight because I know I can't keep my eyes open. Decide to check my e-mail first, mainly to delete all the junk mail I've been getting altely and go straight home. And then find about bazillion of my old friends have e-mailed me and I want to reply to each and every one of them. Blast.
But I'll skip it.
Maybe tomorrow.
Or later this week.
Not today.
Zzzz.
I've always believed yogurt is evil and today I found this quote, apparently very famous one even though I've never heard it before, that backs me up. "Anyone who doubts the power of advertising should remember that 23 million Americans are convinced that yogurt tastes good." Genius!
It was the weirdest weekend. But I sang a lot. I will survive in Finnish and other lovely songs.. I was very annoying msot of the time. The rest I was just very grumpy.
"Pickled beets? Oooh."
(that's from the care bears film..)
IThere's this guy in our school who's got the prettiest hair and I told my friend, who's friends with this guy, that he should just stop using the ponytail altogether and let the hair be free because he looks much nicer that way. Today I've seen the guy about bazillion times and tadah! no ponytail.. And now I don't know if my friend told him I said it or not and am most paranoid.
Off to meet Titta's new roommate. Scary!
ps. Pekka, I know the picture was crappy. Why to be sorry? Strange boy.
Thursday, November 21, 2002
Woohoo... I am famous. See! There's a picture of us (not the most flattering though.. and they have our name wrong too.. Live Dancers? Arg!) and also a mini interview (in Finnish --> the whole online mag is here). Hmh.
What was I thinking yesterday? Valid crush? I meant to write proper. I need a new head.
Me and Kaisa are going out for a coffee tonight. Nice. I haven't been to a cafe in ages.. Also went shopping today. Bought a shirt. Found another nice one as well but couldn't afford buying two. More exciting things happening tonight: I'm going to dye my hair. The root problem was getting most disturbing..
Day after tomorrow: exactly one year from the day I was supposed to meet James Marsters. Cause for a celebration. Hurrah!
Wednesday, November 20, 2002
I can't sing. Maybe I should leave the choir.
Baaaah.. It's just one of those everybody-hates-me-today days. Everyone's telling me it's only November that's getting to me, but I'm not buying. I do know myself.
The info thingie on studying in Britain yesterday was the final thing, I don't think I'm going. Or even applying that is.. oh well. I'm still surfing ucas.com and am more lost than ever. Why can't I study webdesign in the university of Glasgow?
Hurrah #1: me and Aino have Trainspotting plans for tonight. We've been talking about it so long and now I think we're finally watching it. I mean, I've seen it many, many times but she (and she's actually the one film course here!) has never seen it, so it's more for her than me.
Hurrah #2: I get to do some laundry on Friday. Lovely. <3
Hurrah #3: Hellu, Anu and me joined forces last night and put this biggish collection of photos of all of us living in our dorm to our kitchen wall. It's lovely. I think I might to take a photo of it and then stick it there as well :p
I want to have a valid crush on someone. It'd be fun.
Monday, November 18, 2002
Watched Full Metal Jacket. Feeling sick now.

One more thing.
Tolkienology 101: What is Your Tolkien Belief System?
"TOLKIEN MODERATE: Live and let live is your rule of life. You like Tolkien, you don't have any great desire to be a deconstructionist or an iconoclast, but neither are you going to tell anyone else what to do in their fannish pursuits. In your pursuit of moderation and keeping the peace, you tend to end up getting flamed by the extremists at both ends of the spectrum."
Pretty much so. But I'm not even posting the other quiz result that told me I am Frodo's ass..
Sean Biggerstaff is looks like he's really tiny. I hope I'll never meet him. I'd feel like this vast lard monster. Really! Look at him.
click! Yeah, ok.. anyone looks tiny next to Robbie Coltrane but.. umm.. here. I like the kilt, though.
What am I saying? Does it matter if he's tiny? The accent makes up for it anyway.
Speaking of which...
...I haven't got a clue what's going on.
The University of Edinburgh
Glasgow Caledonian University
University of Glasgow
Oh what the hell.. the list of Scottish universities..
I'm lost. Inka says her Sctoland plans are dead and buried and I said I would have none of that. Thinking of it now, I think mine are going through a slow and painful death as well. Sigh. Grocery store counter, here I come.
Went to the bar. Didn't mean to, but ended up there anyway. Had sort of fun. Hurrah!
I really like the T.A.T.U. song.. what's it called? All the things she said? It's stuck in my head again though I can't even remember the lyrics. Most annoying.
My friend just told me that there's another guy playing in Lordi that I know.. I can annoy my friends even more :D Or then just shut up.
Saturday, November 16, 2002
Bet you didn't see this one coming.. :p Yes, a new layout. Again.
And see! Now you can view all my lovely buttons <3
It's not that I didn't like Ewan & JRM anymore, I just hated the layout. Or not hated, more like.. deeply despised. And it's really the Potter time of the year again.
I am hungry. And wearing my ugly stage make-up. Need to do something about it, quickly. It's funny when you don't use a lot make-up normally (I used to but not anymore) and when you suddenly have more of it, even though not loads, you feel like you can't see anything properly, your skin can't breathe, you can't breathe...! Who was the meanie who invented the stuff anyway?
Ah well. Hesburger awaits. Hurrah for burgers and fries.
Edit: Stupid coding mistakes. I hate you. Grr.
Friday, November 15, 2002
Hey, hold on! How old is he again? 15?
There goes the evil Ireland presentation! Woot! It went surprisingly well. Then again, it was mainly me talking about authors, actors and movies, so why did I even worry? Hmm.
Our train was late today. I don't mean a little late or even bearably late. It was one and half hours late.. arggg.. by the time the train actually got there, I'd already calmed down but before it, I was in hysterics. Half laughing, half crying and just yelling a lot. Pheww.. thank goodness I wasn't alone. Hurrah for friends! Inka, Hellu & Aino in this case.
Now I'm just half dead. Emppu asked me if I wanted to do something tonight but all I want to do is watch telly and smell bad.. I rented two DVDs too --> Get Over It and Legally Blonde. It's the quality film night! I've seen both, I love both and am not ashamed to say it. Except a little.. :p
I ought to be doing an affilaite check at this very moment but I simply can't be bothered. Maybe tomorrow.. sigh.
Mum was surprisingly un-mad when I asked her about the whole Scotland thing. Blast. I wanted an excuse to chicken out and now I have none. Except that I don't know what I would like to study. I had it all settled.. I was going to study English, full stop. Recently I've realised that I don't want to study English, I just want to study in English.
Speaking of the language, I want my British accent back! Stupid American influences. I don't like you, go away and leave me alone!
And then to something completely different.......
Sweet cheese! I want to join but am too ashamed.
And last but not least:
Too bad I don't remember the film too well...
Wednesday, November 13, 2002
Heh heh. Write one very miserable entry and wooosh, you get comments, just like that.
With the whole Scotland deal. I just know myself well enough to understand that just moving abroad is way beyond realistic. I'm going to talk with my teacher tomorrow a little bit, but I don't know..
Other than that, I'm fine. Well, as long as I don't see this certain person, I am fine. Nothing wrong with them (yes, wrong usage of plural, but I'm playing the pronoun game just for the sake of it..), but as soon as I see that face, I sink in depression.
ps. and it is not about sad one-sided love, honestly.
I ate a Jambo bar today. I know that one chocolate bar doesn't make any difference whter I lose weight or not, but I'm still annoyed. It should be all about controlling myself and not givin up whenever I see a Jambo. I am kicking myself.
And to happier things: I decided to show a scene from The Disappearence of Finbar during our Ireland presentation. I'm telling about the film anyway and even though that particular scene doesn't feature JRM, he's still got the leading role there. Soooo.. it's only natural. Also, it's a good scene.
Speaking of that stupid presentation, I should bedoing some sort of summary of the quiz I made my friends to fill in. Blaaaagh.. don't wanna! I'm pretty certain Mari hasn't even started thinking of her subjects yet.. :D Some people just panic less about things than others.

"All I ever wanted was to be somebody."
24 hours have passed and I've already given up the idea of studying in Scotland. Thanks, dad.
Well, it wasn't his fault really, and I knew his opinion before I even asked but I don't like the way everybody always crush my ideas before I even get to develop them into real plans. Annoying.
And what the hell would I do in Scotland anyway? What was I thinking? I am bound to Finland. I'll probably never leave the place.
Stupid girl.
I'm pretty certain I've made Inka mad. I'm not having the best of the days (again) and skipped the anthropology class without saying anything to anybody. I even switched off my phone so I couldn't be reached. I did send Inka a text message saying that I wasn't coming but that doesn't guarantee her not being annoyed or mad.
I'm tired. Almost cried in the translation class because it all seemed too much. And I was only translating little article on Jonna from Nylon Beat. Hear me sigh.
Monday, November 11, 2002
Inka has all the four episodes of Ghormenghast on tape, so even though the Phantom was on telly last night, we watched videos. I've always found the Phantom ultimately boring and somehow I also knew I couldn't cope watching Billy Zane in tights.
Sort of speaking about Mr Jonathan again: in the film part of our Ireland presentation next Friday, I was going to tell about Colin Farrell as an example of a younger generation Irish actor. Changed my mind. Farewell, Colin, welcome JRM. It was only inevitable. I don't think I've even seen Colin Farrell in any film.
I'm thinking of applying for a university in Scotland. My family will probably be against it but I would really like to go. I love Finland, but I want to live somewhere else for a little while too. Experience and all that crap.. I have all the application papers available and everything, now all I need to do is fill them in and then chicken out because the odds are that's exactly what I'll do. Or then I'll skip the filling part, too. We'll see.

My newly rediscovered infatuation with mr JRM has gotten ridiculous in less than three hours. I am sad. I even have JRM desktop now.. see!
The best part? It wasn't suitable for my desktop when I first found it from jrmfs.org so I edited it a little bit - in the middle of the night. You're all qualified to go "hmmm", so feel free to do it.
Tsuumi was great and didn't make me feel bad at all. What I do find a bit disturbing is that one of the dancers was born in 1981. At the age of 21, he's already achieved something. And I have only one year to catch up.. nooo!
Back to the point --> me not being depressed. Out of the blue, we decided to go to see Bend It Like Beckham after the show and it was such a lovely film. I loved it! It made me feel all cheery. It is also the one to blame for my current JRM fanaticism. I can't wait for the Importance of Being Earnest! Love the story, too.. :p
Saturday, November 09, 2002
Hooray! I just realised that the Tom image I posted last time isn't showing due to Angelfire's evil blicking system. Oh well, what do you know.. :|
Me and Emmu went to bar last night, just for two ciders or so. It was nice to see her again.. we couldn't even remember when we last saw each other. Over a month ago anyway. Also happened in the bar...
Emmu + Hanna: blah blah blah.. socks.. blah blah..
Annoying Man: Wanna know what color my underwear is?
Hanna: Huh?
Annoying Man: My underwear.
Hanna: Actually I couldn't care less about your underwear.
Annoying Man: Well, I thought I'd mention since you were talking about socks and underwear is very close to socks.
Hanna: Especially if you have very short legs.
Arrrrgh! Where do these bad jokes keep coming from? Honestly, somebody buy me a new sense of humour. This is getting very sad --> I actually found that funny.
Eventually me and the Annoying Man got into a verbal fight about the Clash, and pooof, he disappeared.
Me, Milla and dad are going out to eat today because tomorrow's the fathers day. Later we (minus dad) are going to to see Tsuumi again tonight. Can't hardly wait.. :) Then I can be all hyper about it for the whole week and nobody has a clue what I'm obsessing about. Tee hee! I know part of me will be very depressed though. Why can't I dance like that?
Thursday, November 07, 2002
Things realized today:
- Bob Marley was beautiful man.
- I need more exercise
- I like Robert Sean Leonard
The last two, not too much of new information but anyway..
ps. I still don't care for mr Marley's music too much though.
Me and Mikko went out for a few pitns last night. It was fun but I had troubles with controlling my speech. I kept thinking of things and before I could decide wheter they were clever enough to be said out loud or not, I heard myself already saying them. Most embarrassing, especially when two girls from Mikko's course I don't know too well joined us :|
I cannot cope. He looks like he's 12.
Wednesday, November 06, 2002
Deal, I'll buy Pekka a laptop as soon as I get money for it. Right after I've bought myself a laptop. And cammie. And TV card. And lots of new clothes. And CDs. And DVDs. And a new VCR. And a new telly. And some other stuff, but yeah, sure. Right after those.
I mean, you need to have your priorities sorted out before anything else.
I had the best time in choir today. Hurrah! I don't know if I really sang right or anything but it was fun. Cheered me up and all. Which was almost a miracle concerning the fact that I didn't even want to go there today. Or ever.
I feel like such a geek. One of my teachers likes to bring up my little website hobby in every occasion possible. Today he said something to the extent of: "next Friday you're all going to give a presentation on something you really know how to do. If you really know how to build tree houses, you tell us about that. (this is the point where I tell him I can't come to class on Friday) Well, you can do it later. You can tell us about setting up websites. You actually have set up a website?" What can you say there Well, uh, yeah. Several. Like it's really that difficult.
ps. I've just recently learnt to spell the word "occasion" correctly. Now I don't feel like a geek, I just feel stupid.
Tuesday, November 05, 2002
This girl from our dorm left school today. First she was gone for a week and today she came for her stuff. I heard she couldn't afford this anymore - and I'm not surprised. I have no idea how I'm going to afford this after February. Anyway, I wasn't very good friends with her or anything, but I liked her and really wanted to get to know her better. Too bad. She will be missed.
I need some lone time. Seriously. This is all getting too much for my head. I just have no place to go to be all by myself :|
Plus, I want a computer, with net conenction preferably. I miss mine. Being dependant on public ones is getting really annoying.
Monday, November 04, 2002
I'm going through a bad phase again. I don't know if it's my annual autumn depression or what but it's really nasty. And all I can seem to do is spread it. Blast. Also, I don't know if I'm reacting with my stomach again or what but I'm actually feeling physically sick all the time.
We, Inka and me that is, watched Idle Hands yesterday. I got a feeling she liked it. Awesome. You there, dude, yes, you!, celebrate.
ps. Inka found my celebrity crush on Tom Welling most embarrassing as well. Noooo!
I got in to this smallish (verbal) fight on Saturday night and I'm still feeling all blooo because of it. I mean, we apologised and all that crap, but it got pretty ugly during the one or two minutes it lasted.. I've been thinking a lot today and yesterday and I've come to some not-too-nice conclusions, about myself and my friends, or ex-friends, or whatever you wish to call them. I actually skipped a lesson today because of this, I just couldn't cope sitting there in the classroom trying to be brave.
But maybe it'll get better. Hmh.
As she feels stinging sharp pain going through her guts, Hanna decides to bail and leave the blog. What's wrong with me?
Sunday, November 03, 2002
I have the hugest celebrity crush on Tom Welling and I find it most embarrassing. I'm 20 years old, for goodness sake! When will I grow up?
Says a girl who's listening to an old 'N Sync album at the very moment.
So I guess the answer would be "not yet".
Jade and Inka asked me to bring some Buffy posters that we could put on our wall in Lahti. After searching everywhere, I found one fairly decent Spike poster (+ one I have on my wall here --> it's not going anywhere), a nice Seth Green for Inka and some others. Plus two huge ones. If the girls want them, good. My brainwashing thing really worked!
But really, it's nice to have someone to watch Buffy with. And since it's my favourite season on SubTV right now, it's all good. We're just a bunch of Spike lovers here.. <3
IThis reminds me, I watched Afterlife last week (I meant to watch the whole of season 6, but didn't have time) and James Marsters gives the best perfomance there. I mean, I'm not too fond of the Buffy-whippe Spike, but James in that episode is just stunning. Gotta love him-
I'm in a hurry again. Why does this happen every weekend? Gaah.
Friday, November 01, 2002
You find the most interesting things while going through your image files. Let's take this for example, me_dwarf.jpg. Riiiiight.
I don't know what the hell that is or what purpose it services but apparently, at some point, I've thought it's important enough to be created.
I'm so lazy. We have our Ireland presentation next Friday and I haven't even started searching for materials for it. Instead, I spend my time on much more useful things, like The Invisible Circus. The boredom! Somebody tell me: where have all the good films disappeared?
But maybe I have time for Ireland related thingies tomorrow. Sigh.
