Gaf. Just had a brief moment of pure panic. I couldn't open my seminar paper in Word. Finally, after trying about everything else, I tried NotePad and luckily it worked, even though it made the whole thingie look like total jibberish.
An amazing shopping day. I didn't buy anything, apart from some almonds and a CD for Inka. Milla owed me some money for a CD I bought her a while back and so she bought 3 books for me, all on sale. So now I have The Knowledge. Groovy Movies., Roald Dahl's Rhyme Stew and Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. The joy! And those all for a bit over 11 euros. Sometimes I love book sales.
And I love Emily for helping me out with the stupid seminar paper. Among other things.
Know what I hate? "LMAO". Or worse "LMFAO". Or, most of all "ROTFLMFAO". No hold on, I think I hate the second one most. I just can't stand when people use it. I mean, "lol" is annoying but I can cope with it. Those three are my nightmare, they're plain evil.
The new Rasmus album is out and I didn't have a clue. Blast. One more CD to add to the wish list. Sweet cheese.. there must be about bazillion CDs already! Let's see..
Robbie Williams: Escapology
U2: 1990 - 2000
The Rasmus: Dead Letters
Ghost of the Robot: Mad Brilliant
Anthony Stewart Head: Music For Elevators
Oh dear... I mean, these are the ones I actively want right now. Then there are all those I want, but not as badly at the moment. How I hate being broke.. arrrrg.
Seems very hard to come up with anything even remotely interesting as I already blurted my heart out at DNO this morning (wonders never cease!). Oh, new layout there. Hint (not even a smooth one).
Thursday, February 27, 2003
I almost freaked out today. 4 carrots! Can't remember when that's last happened. Wow.
I'm so proud of myself. What I would've wanted to do today: update my fanlistings files, update my own sites, write e-mail and lie down and relax. What I should've done today: make notes of the Study of Language, write seminar paper. What did I do? All those. With the exception of the seminar paper, I just couldn't bring myself to it.
But I ate a mango instead.
Other entertainment of the day: studying the scary Orc slash fanart (people are strange) and analysing it in Emily's e-mail, reading 1960s books for pre-teens (they're awesome! my bookshelf's the best, it has everything!) and writing a spam-looking e-mail to Inka. Now I fear she will delete it because it ended up looking pretty authentic. Grief.
Amazing. I've been on holiday for a week now and I still haven't blogged at DNO even though I've thought about it every single day. Suddenly I just notice it's about 11pm already and I'm awfully tired. It's a classic really.. "I will do it tomorrow." Sigh.
Oh, and yeah. Virve, please do scan that image! No hurry though, I uploaded the new layout today. But really, most Breckin images are of this wonderful quality. Or maybe I'm just picky.. :p
Random picture note (oh how I love these):
Surfing BagEndInn.com again. Nooo! I adore Sean, but that's horrible. Pictures like that should be banned. Then again.. Share the mullet love. Mwa-ha-ha.. :D Don't normal pics of him exist?
Karl wasn't always cool. Luckily, he's improved - even if his zipper is undone every now and then.
(humble note to Xena fans: please don't beat me to death with a shovel)

I swear, good Breckin Meyer images do not exist. When you finally find a nice photo shoot image, the quality is so bad you can't really tell Breckin apart from a toad.
Even the biggest TV news in Finland keep confusing Mika and Aki Kaurismäki and it's driving mum nuts. And me a little.
Another annoyance: Jore Marjaranta is everywhere and I can't cope. Can a bloke get more boring? His way of singing is boring, his speaking voice is ultimately boring. He even looks boring! I wish he'd never made the whole Pahat pojat theme song deal.
I am angry with Ville Pusa letting Jore Marjaranta use his beautiful song. Grrr.
Happier thoughts: me and Liisa have now tickets to see the Ark on 15th. Weee-oooot! Now I just need to find a way to get home from Helsinki after that.. but it's over two weeks away. I'm sure I'll come up with something.
Edit: sweet cheese! Over 10 000 fanlistings listed at tfl.org! I am so proud to be part of this.. Even edited my staff page a little today to make it nicer :)
Edit #2: Emily just sent me my new favourite picture. I can't stop looking at it, I adore it. I like Karl.
Edit #3: Now, this is disturbing. Is his zipper undone?
Tuesday, February 25, 2003
Ghost of the Robot's CD is out and I want it. Now I'm just wondering how to get it.. I've decided I cannot live without it.
Another random music note: I hate The Ark's guestbook. It never loads. "laddar data.." pffft. What do you need flash guestbook for anyway?
I feel like a lazy bum because I didn't do anything seminar paper realted work today. Well, I did surf various HP sites but nothing useful. I will make up for it tomorrow. I will also readmake notes of the Study of Language. At least 3 chapters - I did that today too. Good pace. Will study.
I'm getting a feeling this holiday is going to kill me.
Entertained myself this morning by watching Untamed Heart. The song in the beginning (and in the middle and in the end for that matter..)!!! Now I know why the whole Nature Boy from Moulin Rouge sounded so familiar the whole time. And here I thought it was originally a David Bowie song. Silly me. Liked the piano version though, very pretty.
Working on the Lasse Hallström fanlisting (which is finished but not uploaded) has made me want to watch all his movies, well the four I've seen, again. Again. I mean, I've seen What's Eating Gilbet Grape countless times and still I find myself strangely drawn to it. Or The Cider House Rules.. mmm. Goodnight, you princes of Maine, kings of New England.

I could cut myself / and take it to the streets / I could dress like a freak / leave my blankets in a heap /stop brushing my teeth for ninety weeks / throw down the government / become the president / I could try every drug / or give everyone a hug / set every prisoner free / and claim I'm Jesus's son / wouldn't that be radical?
Teehee.. :)
I've been on a bloggage holiday. Taking time to myself without computer. Don't know why.. just felt like it was a good time for it. Especially after last Friday which was officially the worst day in a good long while.
I had the srangest dream last night. I had a baby. With a guy I've hardly spoken to, he's in the theater group in our school. I wasn't pregnant and I didn't give birth to the baby, it just was there even though I didn't want to. And I didn't want to take care of it. And I didn't want to have anything to do with the guy. And I didn't want him to have the baby. I went shopping for diapers and babyfood because I didn't want to breast feed but ended up buying one sanitary towel. The guy kept insisting he should at least support us financially but I wouldn't listen. In the dream, he worked in the school cafeteria, selling fries (no such person there). We settled the name for the baby and when we were about to agree wheter we should now be together or not because it would be sort of proper thing to do, I woke up.
It was the ugliest baby ever.
Again I've decided not to have any kids ever.
I've been working on the seminar paper again. Origins of names today... Suddenly I find myself smitten with the names of the evil characters. Those are the best.. :)
I was watching Sleepy Hollow (I seem to have some sort of Johnny Depp phase again.. not that I mind :p) this morning and started wondering. Why does Casper Van Dien's name strike familiar to me? Annoying. I can't connect the name (nor the face!) to anything or anyone.. Bugger :|
Also. I am officially obsessed with mangos. I'm eating them non-stop. Help!
Thursday, February 20, 2003
I feel like I'm getting nowhere with the seminar paper. This, of course, is stupid because I've got 4 pages full text already.
Inka's sitting next to me and surfing my site. Feels weird.
And now she's staring at Ola Salo and humming.
Mentioning Ola Salo, my CDs arrived yesterday. Now I am the proud owner of both The Ark albums :)
Me and Liisa were talking about going to see them at Tavastia in March. Haven't decided anything yet. For certain I mean. She needs to figure out whter or not one her friends will get mad if she goes with me. Whatever. I'd like to go. I've never been to Tavastia.
Today crisp & movie fest. Hurrah! Already had an apple fritter today and felt all blagh.. But I am entitled to eat fattening food. I'm feeling crappy.
Tuesday, February 18, 2003
Auuuuugh! How to separate Rowling from the time-line of the Potter books???! This seminar paper is driving me nuts! I wonder if somebody would like to read it before I hand it back to my teacher.. like my uncle, he's an English teacher too. He could correct my stupid grammar errors. Greatest plan ever. Now all I need to do is ask...
Wonderful. I've been writing the darned thing for 90 minutes! Now I've got 30 minutes in which I need to go home, relax fora while, change my clothes, pack the stuff needed and then leave for library and yoga.. gaaah. Lovely, lovely Tuesday.
But I've honestly been working today. I even made notes of 2 chapters Study of Language. What's gotten into me?
But in some way it's cool.. I actually feel like a real student now ;)
Came up with two alternate versions for Gary Oldman in the Six Degrees of Christopher Lee. What I couldn't think of was how to link Sean Connery with him and it really started to bug me. I think I really need a hobby.. :] Good point: some more work and I've got Inka obsessed with this game too. Hurrah!
Monday, February 17, 2003
Good grief.
I never imagined writing scientific text about Harry Potter in English could be so hard!
I just tried to scribble something on Quidditch but it turned out bad. The language was just plain terrible.. like written by an 8-year-old. No!
But now I've at least started working on my seminar paper, so ha!
And then to real things:
Which Music Type are You?Find out!
Can't say I agree, but maybe I ought to trust them better.. Oh well.
All that Quidditch thinking makes my head explode. I don't if knowing that it was only the first version makes it better or worse.. Bonus? It probably won't stay that bad. Minus? I have to think of it again.
Robin Hood was on telly last night. I didn't remember Alan Rickman was in it. Or Christian Slater even! And he's the reason I ever watched it for the second time back in my old Christian fancying days (what was I thinking? actually.. I think Untamed Heart is to blame, I still love it.). The film was so corny but the worst thing? Kevin's mullet. Auuugh! I do understand that the film was released in 1991 but it still doesn't give any excuse for Robin Hood having a mullet (or American accent for that matter).
Anyway. Somewhere halfway through the film I got bored and started playing the Six Degrees of Christopher Lee.
Kevin Costner was in Robin Hood with Alan Rickman who was in Sense and Sensibility with Kate Winslet who starred in Heavenly Creatures directed by Peter Jackson who also directed Christopher Lee in LotR.
Then I started thinking the six degrees of Kevin Bacon and tadah!
Kevin Bacon was in Sleepers with Brad Renfo who starred in the Apt Pupil with Sir Ian McKellen who worked in LotR with none other than Mr Christopher Lee.
Damn, I'm good. I wonder if SFX wants to hire me?
From another point of view: I need a life.
Edit: thank goodness for the Safe Mode! I love you Blogger! Somehow Blogger swallowed half of this post somehow (wait.. I hate you Blogger!) and I couldn't click the edit because of it. But the lovely Safe Mode allowed it. Sigh of relief. <3

I just found this site and it's so much fun! I just can't do all the quizzes now as mum had this brilliant idea we've got to go *now*.
Hanna: today I'm not leaving until the 6:24 train.
--
Mum: packed yet?
Hanna: no.
Mum: well, soon.
Hanna: how come?
Mum: it's almost 4:30.
Hanna: yeah?
Mum: we almost leave around that time.
Hanna: And today I said I'm taking the 6:24 train.
Mum: Whatever.
So we're going.
Shortly: demonstration great except bloody cold. I though my nose was going to fall off.
Which Britney are you? Find out!
Friday, February 14, 2003
I just watched a documentary on Michael Jackson. Actually, it was the documentary.. You know, the ITV one where he's supposed to come clean and tell everything. Sheesh. I found the whole thing very disurbing. I mean, when you think of his career and talent, it's all whooaaa!, but everything else about him is just..
I think he's delusional.
Then again. He might or might not be. He's effin Michael Jackson. He can be anything he wants to and nobody's got anything to say to it.
Maybe I should quit all this Michael pondering. It's not healthy.
Catch Me If You Can was well entertaining (and I felt really cool because I saw it before it was officially out here.. hurrah for preview shows!). I liked Leo. I've always liked him. I jsut didn't like the mass hysteria that was going on during the Titanic era.. Oh well. I think he's proved himself already. I just wish people would start taking him seriously now.
I wonder if I want to see Gangs Of New York.
Tonight: finish the layout for The Ark fanlisting and watch Detroit Rock City. Finally. Mmm.. Tomorrow: wake up early and take a part in a demonstration.
Edit: Funny. I just read Riku's post. Guess what he's talking about? The Michael Jackson documentary, Catch Me If You Can and the demonstration. Granted, I didn't mention gay clubs, but then again, he wasn't talking about layouts. It's nice that we both have hobbies.. :p
Thursday, February 13, 2003
Noooo! I'm some the computer moron! Yesterday I managed to print out the Johnny graphic, today I accidentally typed lw's addy to the url field! What?!?! I never do that because I hate how it sticks there for ages and every time I you start typing starting http://www.l... it's there. Bargh. Wouldn't mind anywhere else, but here at school it's my nightmare.
Best thing? I wasn't even going to visit lw. I just wanted to check my e-mail..
My social life is dying. There's a big Valentine's Day party tomorrow which I can't attend because I'm in Karkkila for rehearsals. Next weekend I can't go anywhere, because wait.. I'm in Karkkila for rehearsals! That's the beginning of winter holiday though, so I'd be there anyway. But still. I'm always in Karkkila for rehearsals. I love being in this production and going to Russia is great, but I do wish I could go somewhere for a change, especially as this is my only year with these people.
Ungrateful eedjit I am.
Catch Me If You Can today. Hurrah! Only 5 euros, so that's also neat. Maybe I'll finally get around to going to see 8 Mile next week. Sigh. And TTT with Mari, we were talking about it some time ago but it hasn't been mentioned since.
Question of the day is: do I want some candy to take to the film with me? Yes I do. But can I resist it? Wouldn't be so sure.. :|
Wednesday, February 12, 2003
Today I've found totally new violent sides of myself I didn't knew existed. Mwa-ha-ha! Not that I've done anything, but I sure have been thinking a lot. Wow.
Not-so-violent-thoughts: is there somethign wrong with em if I don't want to share my work unless I'm 100% happy with it? I hate when people don't get it. I like the praise, but I want to guarantee I get it as well ;) No, really. I just don't want to show anything that's only half done or if I haven't had enough time to concentrate. It just feels wrong. So shut up you stupid people. Grrr.
What Self-Mutilation Are You?
And then to happy things. I am a true artist.
Hanna: aaah! if I can't think of a name for that site, my head will fall to pieces! *draws a picture of a cracking head with neck and some shoulders*
Inka: Is that a head or a potato with legs?
Exactly what I was aiming at.
Speaking of drawing, I found this continuing comic I drew for Emppu when I was about 16. It was this round creature that looked like a walking slime or something and was called Lasse. He saw a beautiful hat in a shop but alas, didn't have enough money to buy it. So he ended up trying to steal it but someone stopped him. It was so funny in its own twisted way (well, I think so but then again, my sense of humor hardly ever meets anyone else's), I think I might have to scan it as soon as I get the first 3 parts from Emppu.
More of the gracious Art of Stickmen. Hurrah.
It's Titta's birthday today and even though I'm feeling very anti-social today, I'm taking her to Molly for a pint. She's 20 now after all and one bad day of mine just can't ruin her first visit there. And also, I canceled shibbing with some other friends of mine for this so I'm making sure it was worth it. Whee.
Edit: uaaaah! I did not just print out this page accidentally in the school computer lab! NOOO! The shame! It only printed out the Johnny graphic though. Still: embarrassing. I can feel myself blushing.
Tuesday, February 11, 2003
Heeeeey! It's official now. We really are going to Russia in April. Neat! Well, it's 95% official... I can't wait to see the 5% go wrong somehow :|
In other news: Me and Inka watched 10 Things I Hate About You last night and it made me like Heath Ledger again. How did this happen? I also ate about 100kg of tortilla chips and now feel bad about it.
Pekka found my last post funny and it amuses me. Oh well.
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-- I could commit sabotage against everything and everyone I wanted. And if I happened to be on a nice mood for a change, I could do happy things to people without feeling paranoid about them feeling paranoid about wheter or not they should return the favor somehow.
Please, let me enjoy this dream before you come and crush it with your words.
Speaking of dreams, the nightmareish one I had last night was not fun. It was a rather complicated story with all different subplots but the main thing invloved my mum and three of her friends (not anyone I know though) getting an absinthe surprise in a beer bottle together. They drank it and suddenlyely their heads started to soften and then melted away - and I saw it all (the images are still haunting me.. eww). I tried to call the police and 112 and everything but nobody answered because it was New Year's and everyone was away partying - and I was supposed to be too. Then I phoned my dad who came to look after these four still barely alive people with no heads.
After telling about this dream today, everybody's wanted to get inside my head and subconciousness and do some Freudian research on me.
Good luck to them.
Baaah.. I need an online quiz to cheer me up. Luckily, there's always Quizilla. Hurrah.
You don't do things on purpose, so people tend to
cut you some slack. Still, it would be best if
you stopped doing things all together.
What Lord of the Rings engrish subtitle are you?
That ought to do it. Thank you.
Monday, February 10, 2003
Baaaargh.. why is the internet dying on me? I can't access half the sites I'd like and all the computers in the coputer lab are evil.
Not that I'd have anything to do here. I don't even have anything to blog about. I just feel like surfing.. meh. Maybe I'll just go home and nap a while.
It's the official Bad Foundation Day today. And other bad make-up. And bad hair. And bad food. And bad everything. The official Paskamaanantai of all the shitty Mondays. Honestly..
Ok. Nap.

I said no to the bar but not to fries at Hesburger. I am weak. But maybe eating fries is only a small bad..
I feel weird knowing that there are pictures of me on the internet now. There have been some before but these are actually scanned and uploaded there by me. Some part of me feels very uncofortable but then again I don't think anybody's really that interested. And besides, I like those photos. They're nice and I want to do something with them. Conclusion? I'll probably have them up here about 2 weeks, then start to feel too ashamed and take them off.
I promised to make a graphic for Riikka's Amber Benson site and I've got two new sites coming up myself. I wish weekends had 4 days or something. There'd be a chance I'd actually get something even done.
Most of this weekend went adding new Eternity members anyway. It's the sites first birthday today.. I had a plan I'd e-mail BMG or someone telling them how far we've got during the first year. Today when it was time to do it, I couldn't think of any reason why. I mean, what would I say and why would they care? "Hi, could you please tell Billy that I know for a fact he's got at least 780 fans? Cheers. Bye." Aaaaah..
Maybe it's better just to skip it.
Edit: I can't believe I've lived all this time withoutbeing aware of Movie Web!
Friday, February 07, 2003
Aaaah! I've got 151 applications in the join box! I hate this. I'm thinking of closing the apps down for a while.. On the other hand, I really don't want to.
I accidentally bumped into Maija this week (Wednesday). Aino, Sini, Mikko and me were already leaving the bar (only went for one pint, or two) when suddenly I heard someone calling my name. It was strange.
Hanna: What are you doing here?
Maija: No, what are you doing here?
Hanna: I live here!
Maija: No, I live here!
:) We agreed to go for coffee on Thursday but she stood me up. Not really, the battery of my phone just was dead again and I didn't get her text message in time. But she came around later on that night. It was really good to see her. Haven't seen her since.. Dec 2001.
I also got an e-mail from Bengt this week, so all in all it's been a nice week.
Even though I was feeling pretty fucked up most of the time.
Yesterday was the worst. In the end, I just rolled on the floor giggling hysterically. Hellu did the same. For some reason not all the people believed we were feeling crappy.
I've been to Hesburger so many times this week it's really not funny. That is three times. Three times the whole meal. Urgggggh.. Next week I shall stay away from there. That's a promise.
Now to some updating. Meh.
Tuesday, February 04, 2003
Yesterday I found out that someone had surfed the site of our local music festival thingie in the computer lab. I mean the one that takes place in my hometown during the summer. I found that weird.
Then today, as I walked past the gym, someone was rehearsing to the same Tsuumi song we have a dance for in the Russia project, and which I love.
Apparently, someone in this school is living my life for me.
Monday, February 03, 2003
Oh, good god, no.
Oh, Justin. The world now knows him as a member of
N'Sync and boyfriend (are they married yet?) of
pop monstrosity Britney Spears. But the
homosexual undertones of his and every boy band
can't be denied. Little Justin is probably the
gentle hand turning your head to watch when a
cute Gucci-clad teenager walks by. It's
perfectly normal, and harmless, I assure you.
Just be careful not to let his inanity and
substancelessness pervade your life.
Who's your inner gay man?
I just can't win here, can I?
Weekend in Helsinki was rather interesting. Seeing Anna was lovely and we had lots of fun but I can't help the feeling that I'm not just bohemian enough to fit in properly. It's funny really. But in general, no complaints. Well worth the trouble of going there. I did manage to develop the flu of my lifetime there, but that's just normal. Today I'm feeling more or less dead.
I came home yesterday and decided to entertain myself with some movies. I wanted to watch something good and European, like La fille sur le pont or something alike. Or possible Cycklomania as I still haven't seen it.. Anyway. When I got to the video rental place, I realised I really wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything like that and ended up leaving with Drive Me Crazy and Summer Catch. Drive Me Crazy - surprisingly not-so-crap. But that might be the fever talking.. I really don't like Melissa Joan Hart. She could just stop acting altogether. Mind you, so could Freddie prinze Jr. Summer Catch was bad. Bad.
Apparently today, I've got some problems with spelling the word "catch".
And later I watched Mauvaise passe which I taped last week. I guess that makes up for not renting the good Europian films.. ;) And again, I want Stuart Townsend. Annoying.
Edit: it's a proof! I am not mad! Eerie, Indiana really was on telly in the early 1990s! And Tobey Maguire even guest starred in it once. Mwa-ha-ha! I feel so special right now. Nobody I know just watched the show, stupid gits.
