Me and Emmu were listening to the Daredevil soundtrack and somehow along that started talking about 'N Sync (there was a connection, honestly). I then brought up my favourite the topic which is their debut album - and by debut album I really mean the debut debut, not better version released in the US. This my version, the German version, has all the crappy DJ Bobo-like songs like I Need Love and Riddle and even though it is very bad, I love it so. Actually, I think me loving it is because of the fact it's is so terrible.
Bacl to the point. I then said that Emmu needs to see For the Girl Who Has Everything music video because it sums up all the reasons why I still can't take Justin Timberlake seriously. We started looking for it with forward button pushed down all the time (so you could still see what was going on) we went through three of my three-hour music video tapes I've made for myself in 1996-97 (I've got probably 7 tapes altogether). And then suddenly, in the middle of all the Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls and Peter Andre (don't ask me!) videos, there it was.
If I Could Change the World by Bed and Breakfast.
Hanna: Ooooo! Bed and Breakfast!
Emmu: What is it?
Hanna: I have no idea. Some crappy boyband I can't remember. No hold on.. ooooo! It's If I Could Change the World! I'd forgotten all about it!
Emmu: A-ha..
Hanna: I remember Emppu thinking he was cute.
Emmu: He looks like Emppu's Guy!
Hanna: YES! He's Emppu's Guy alive!
Emmu: She always falls for guys who look like that.
Hanna: I liked him!
Emmu: He looks like your type!
Hanna: I still like him except that--
Emmu: He's too cute!
Hanna: Yes! But imagine if the beard was black and not white?? [note: why does anyone want a white beard??] LOVE the hair!
Emmu: That hair is what makes him your t-- That's man is cute! Oooo!
Hanna: He looks like your type!
Emmu: Yes. Oooooo!
Hanna: It's getting scary! How can there be a forgotten boyband that would have men for all the three of us?!!
Emmu: I don't know!!
Hanna: Why didn't they become famous?!!
Emmu: The song is bad!!
Hanna: I know!!
Both: WAAAAAAAAAH!
We actually spoke with exclamation marks.
But today I just had top search the band. Turns out they were German. Actually there is still one website that has the content left, not saying it's up to date..
It's here. It even had one picture where you could actually see their faces instead of a big pixel puddle.. It's a bad picture but what can you do?
Anyway, in the end we did find the 'N Sync video and it was still just as horrendous as I remembered. Except worse because back then I used to think the JC of that time was attractive and now stand corrected.

Weee-ooot. Finally saw X2. Loved it. Wolverine adoration getting stronger. Sir Ian! Alan Cumming is the coolest.

Working for 8 hours when you're still half dead because of the flu = a very bad idea. But it does have its benefits, I can't deny that. I just got 12 ice creams for free (including 3 Magnums) because Rautakirja provides 4 free samples of each new ice creams of the summer (12 this year) for each kiosk (so that we'd know what we're selling), and my 3 workmates had already taken their 12 . Teehee. I also got the coolest (well, not really - but it could be very cool..) Slytherin badge which was the free gift if you'd pre-ordered the Chamber of Secrets VHS or DVD, which of course I didn't do. Actually, you're not really allowed to take them but as my boss asked me if I wanted one, obviosuly she thought I couldn't care less, I took it. With her permission granted, I can't get into trouble. Mwa-ha-ha.
Unless, of course, I'm not supposed to babble these things here in my blog and I'll get arrested for that.
Interesting conversations of the day:
Workmate: Show me yours hands!
Hanna: Huh?
WM: Your hands.
Hanna: Okay...
WM: Oh, so you haven't got one.
Hanna: *assuming we're talking about mosquito bites that were discussed 15 minutes earlier* No.
WM: Neither does my daughter.
Hanna: Hm?
WM: And imagine, together three years already!
Hanna: What are we talking about?
WM: Engagement rings, I'm just checking if somebody's caught you during the winter.
Hanna: Well, no.
I found this amusing.. It never even occured to me that my workmates might think I'm seeing someone and just thought I was awfully quiet about it. Hee.. But even if there was something going on, I would keep my (non-existing) lovelife out from the workplace. It doesn't belong there. Though one of the customers today announced that I fell in love last year. Funny. I probably ought to remember it. Or then he was referring to Spiderman.

My VCR broke again last week, right? Right.
Jussi bought me a new one.
I am shocked.
Where's the excitement now? It was part of the fun of watching videos never to know which embarrassing tape (like Fabio's A Time for Romance like last time) would get stuck in there that time because of the eject button's decision of retirement.
More seriously: I'm quite relieved. It's nice to have a VCR you can even someone rely on.
Meh. I decided to be a good staffer today and update my categories at tfl.org and now the stupid webmail won't work.. I managed to go through whole 3 applications in franchises before it died. Thus, mythology and religion still stays abandoned.
The entrance exam yesterday went surprisingly well. I'm still not very convinced I will get in or anything but at least I did my best and defined all the five terms at least somewhat correctly. And wrote one very bad essay. I know I'm a fairly good writer but situations like that always make my brain freeze and then I write 400 words of hypocritical crap no sane person would take seriously.
Hello, self-esteem.
But if I do get in, it's all because of Liisa. She was a major help on our way from Lahti to Jyväskylä. We revised almost the whole three hours we sat on the bus and every minute was worth it. Maybe I'll do better in the Tampere exam now too. Which reminds me: I'm still only halfway through of Ways of Reading. Insert nasty word here.
I ought to clean my room, it's a mess. Unfortuantely I'd much rather organise my photos.. Maybe finally even put my matriculation photos to some folder. They've been there, collecting dust for two years already.. (I feel ancient.)
Oooo.. mum took my last Lahti photos to the photo shop yesterday. They're lovely! Some really, really nice ones. I've got beautiful friends, I can tell you that. And there was this amazing picture of a crying Inka. I'm so proud I took it! That picture just sums up everyone's feelings on the last day.
Speaking of the Lahti people, I saw Mikko very briefly on Sunday and started feeling really bad, don't know why. I'm still a bit baffled when I think of that minute or so I talked to him.. Strangeness. Seeing Esa, less briefly but not nearly long enough (a bit over an hour or so), was fun but I was so annoyed because of myself. I was so tired and my mind was.. not even elsewhere really, it was practically nowhere. I felt like I was being unfair to him even though I didn't do it on purpose. :| Maybe some other time then..

Writing a blog entry in Word feels rather funny. I just don’t dare to be online for too long as granpa will have to pay for it in the end. But it’s fun to have a cool modern age granpa who actually has an internet connection.
Actually, I don’t think he even knows it, poor man. Mum and Jussi have dragged this thing here because they want to work during their visits. I think granpa himself stopped understanding the modern technology around the time VCR was brand new.
I am so bored. I just wrote a four-page e-mail to Emily, which was fun as I’ve been the lazy and busy bum of a friend who hasn’t e-mailed anyone for weeks. Tomorrow I will have loads more of catching up to do but I don’t mind it because the only things I can do here is write e-mail, surf the net (if I don’t feel too ashamed to stay online) and read the entrance exam books. I’ve read so much today my head is about to explode. But considering the fact that the first exam is on Monday, it’s probably not a bad thing. But still.. a bit more linguistics for today and I will pass out.
Good thing there was a Daria film on telly today, something else to do for a little while. And now I have a cartoon crush on Trent again. The shame!
I should stop whining.. things here aren’t really that bad. What if I’m bored? It’s granpa’s 80th birthday anyway and the moment I stepped out from the train on Wednesday night and saw his baffled face, I knew the visit was worth of every single second of following boredom. He didn’t know me and my sister were coming and when he saw us he started crying and tried to hide it. Things like that make these visits worthwhile even if the rest of it is pain, sitting in the middle of relatives you don’t even remember meeting (I’ve never really known mum’s side of the family).
The hot topic at this effin circus that is going on (even if not really common knowledge and only discussed by Milla, mum and myself): my charm is at it again. I’ve hit the lowest of the low.. imagine the worst scenario of a 38-year-old nerd who still lives with his mum and has never worked a day in his life and even apart from his uber geeky looks (and the word “geek” is here with the worst possible connotation) is just plain ugly. Yes, I have a fan. I cannot cope. Why is it always me?
Or more accurate question: why aren’t there ever any woofie guys? Just the terrible (and taken) ones. What’s wrong with me?

Know the feeling when you're starving and no matter how hard you search, you can't find anything edible from home (save some noodles that you don't want to eat because that's all you ever eat and you've had enough) and have absolutely no money to buy anything and even if you did, you'd be too hungry to go shopping anyway?
Luckily I'm one of those people who actually like pea soup. I happened to find one can from home and ate it. Mmm.. pea soup. But after closer look I realised it looks quite revolting. Funny. Almost 20 years of eating pea soup and I never realised that.
Dustin's post about blog commentors amuses me. Whatever.
I was supposed to go to this film set today and have my first experience as a film extra. Good plan but it turned out they didn't need me after all so I sat there for 2½ hours for nothing.. Not that it matters. I wouldn't have done anything anyway and now I got to spend my morning with nice people and had free breakfast and our local theatre got paid anyway. And I don't mind not appearing in the film anyway.. I have a spot size of Argentina in my both cheeks. Don't know where the hell they came from.
I just did two (Finnish) mental age tests. The first one, which was crap, said I was 19. The second one, an old favourite, said I was, uh, 19. Strange.. The first time I ever did this second test I was 23. Then I was 13. And now it seems I'm getting older again.. But I like that test. It makes me laugh.

BAM! you're Renton.You're the only sane one in your group of fucked up friends who you'd betray in the first chance you got. You're very selfish but you only take from those who deserve it. you're quite used to overcoming big problems and adapt easily to change.
which Trainspotting character are you most like?
Why didn't anyone tell me Johnny Depp has been on the Fast Show? I feel betrayed. That's one of those things I need to know as soon as someone figures it out.. Very confusing moment at dad's today. Poor man, he had no idea what all the fuss was about.
Apart from visiting dad for some 45 minutes and getting confused by Johnny Depp's Fast Show appereance, I've done absolutely nothing today. No hold on, I did do some laundry, watch Mallrats & Monsters Inc and e-mail Mikko. What an exciting life I lead.. And then I've tried some layout ideas. Speaking of those, I don't know if I like this..
I like the basic idea of it but there's something that bugs me. And it's not even the fact that the image is from Daredevil, I still think Colin Farrell's Bullseye is the coolest. I don't know.. annoying. Actually, I think I do like the graphic but it's the links and stuff that irritates me. Or I don't know. Arrrrrg. I might try something else with that image. Even though I find the idea of having a Daredevil related layout a bit embarrassing, no matter how cool Bulleye in my opinion is. :|
The good point in doing nothing is that I've listened to a lot of music today. It's weird how the same old songs you know even backwards can suddenly make perfect sense. With this, I've been doing lots of brain work and realised some very important things about myself and the people around me. And yes, I'm very aware of how pathetic that might sound. But it's the truth.
I find myself with a terrible to urge to write my diary.

Know what I can't stand? When people who maintain fansites write "new HOT pics" to the galleries. I've surfed on Colin Farrell sites today and that phenomenon just keeps popping up and I can't stand it. Argh.
What I do like is the new Carlsberg commercial. "Free friend with every Carlsberg. Carlsberg - probably the best beer in the world."
Back to surfing fansites. I was looking for pictures for new lw.org layout (and yes, Colin Farrell again.. god, I'm such a teenybopper). I already made one, even though it was more like a draft than a real layout, which was beautiful but way too gloomy. So I skipped it. But I might use it here later on, when I get sick and tired of the spoon envy. Which is not quite yet. Hee.
Oh. Sweet. Cheese. I really don't like this. He looks like he's five, but with beard. He could be a member of the new hip boyband or something. Nooo.. where's the rugged look I love? And yes, I'm still talking about Mr Farrell, not the other three. Mind you, those pictures are equally horrendous.
What is this thing with CF?
I think Johnny Depp has finally met his match.
This is very embarrassing.
I love this site's layout. Almost makes me like Orlando again.
What else have I surfed today..? It's been a computer day. I did see Johanna and Milla for a few hours but apart from that I've stayed at home and made up for the time I've had to be apart from my beloved computer (not really, I've just been too lazy to use my time sensibly). Hmm.. I like the way they've built their picture gallery. Whee.. I'm very curious about the music. Too bad they've only got 2 gigs for the summer, either of which I can't go to. I've heard their single once and in all it's strangeness I liked it a lot. I wonder if I could get it somewhere.. I sort of know one of them so I could always ask him via some route, but I can't be bothered. Laziness strikes back again. No wonder, this asking thing would actually require me contacting a third person who could tell me how to contact him. Way too complicated, I shall skip it. At least for now.
If I went to bed now I might feel a bit more energetic tomorrow.
As if. Ha.

Referring to my last post: the person I talked to is a Finnish male (theatre) actor whose name wouldn't probably say anything to most people. It wouldn't hurt to post his name, but I don't want my blog to pop up if he happens to Google his own name :)
And then to things all brand and new.
I hate moving. It's been a terrible, exhausting day. I started crying at school a little after 11am and it went on about 3 hours staright. Leaving Lahti was one of the hardest things in my life so far though it was nice to notice that people actually care. Basically it was just a big tear fest, I never knew I could cry that hard such a long time.
I was fearing last night because it was, well, the last. But I needn't have, everything turned out alright in the end. It was killing me I couldn't be in three places at the same time. I really wanted to go out with Liisa, Inka, Sari and Heli. Then again, I really wanted to stay at home with all the people from the dorm. And I wanted to go to this big party and make the most of it. I ended up seeing the girls for a while, going home and watching telly with the others, visiting the party for about 20 minutes and then going home with Esa, finding out that nobody else was in because they had all gone for a pint. So we stayed up, Esa and me, and just talked for an hour and a half or something. And honestly, it couldn't have been any better.
It was great to spend some quality time with him, because even though we've seen each other daily, we haven't really talked in ages.
I miss everyone already. It's terrible.
Parting from everyone was so terrible, but I think Mikko and Inka were the worst. Mikko because he made it so difficult (he was about to leave for ages and then you just had to hug him bazillion times), and Inka for the obvious reasons. Gaah.
I need to start thinking of something else.
Tra-la-la..
I have way too many CDs. If I buy even one more, my whole shelf system will be fucked (hold on, it already is..). Annoying. I have to come up with something new.
Head hurts and I'm sleepy. I think I might watch Picture Perfect (only because I asked mum to tape it for me yesterday and would be too embarrassed to just skip it) and go to bed. Rest of unpacking and all the updating will have to wait until tomorrow.

Being a fan is such a weird thing. In general, I don't like idolizing Finnish people because this is such a small country because you always know someone who, some way or another, knows the person. But sometimes you just can't help it because those people are just so effin, well, great. Right now I am in a serious admiration and respect point and trying my best to keep it there, not taking it to funnily obssessive fan stage. And this time, I really know people who really know those certain individuals, so being a fan-fan would feel extremely stupid.
Also, living in the same town (still a few more days) makes it very weird. I see them everywhere: shopping for food, going for a pint, you name it. I actually saw some of them at Molly's yesterday and couldn't resist letting one of them know I really like his work. He seemed pleased and I felt great. It's funny.. just a few weeks ago I was blogging about how I hate it when I don't get feedback and then am about to skip it myself because "those people are professionals and probably get feedback all the time". Fuck that philosophy, honestly. I know that they appreciate it just as much as the next person and even one nice little comment can make their day better. And really, saying those things out loud makes the feedbacker feel better as well.
Such a great evening. The songs and poems were well chosen and everything was just perfect. Maria sang so beautifully I just couldn't live with it and started crying again even though I've heard her sing the song before (it's a great song and Maria's amazing). And Esa got this sort of recognition award thingie for this year's singing lessons. He's worked really hard and improved so much I can't even believe it. And Hanna cried again. I was so proud of him even though I knew it had nothing to with me.
The atmosphere was so unique too. Cheery and sad at the same time. Everyone was happy but still the ending could be sensed and aaaagh.. all in all, lovely evening. Even though Johanna was quite drunk. Heh.. uncool friend features, I was slightly embarrassed a few times. But it doesn't matter, I know I've caused those situations more than once myself. We talked a lot yesterday and even if it wasn't the good conversation I was looking for yesterday, it made me understand some people better.
Ooo! All this talk about being a fan reminded me: I just somehow ended up checking out Blast! after a good long while, and what do you know, it's got a new most pretty layout. Virve's such a wizard. And I still want to look like Kate Winslet.
Wednesday, May 14, 2003
There are so many thoughts going around my head. I have no idea where to start and am starting to think there's no way I could possibly sort them all out here. What I need is a bottle of red wine and good conversation. Mmm.
But not tonight. I'll go to Molly's.
Just beer there if I decide to drink anything.
And not really a chance for good conversation as it is the theatre group's song & poetry evening.
I really ought to e-mail Anna. Emmu told me last week that she's moving to Barcelona to study to be a film director. Sweet cheese.. I am so envious. I don't know how she's got the guts, she's terrific. Everybody else just waste time complaining how they would like to do something but can't because of this and that. She doesn't complain, she goes out and does exactly what she wants to. And that is the thing I envy, not Barcelona.
But this all probably means I get to visit her there, which is very nice.
The weather's being evil. It's been about to thunder the whole day. The air feels very heavy and it's very hard to breathe. This kind of weather makes me feel a) sleepy b) depressed. And my head starts to ache. Half of me wishes the thunder would start already so this stupid weather would go away but the other half is a bit less enthusiastic. Thunders scare me. And now it's raining. Blast. I was going to go shopping.
Oh. Mikko told me yesterday that I am not manly. Hurrah, victory! Well not really. I don't believe him.
Tuesday, May 13, 2003
Me and Mikko had the most interesting conversation wheter this guy we know is really thing or "woof". I thought he was thin but apparently I was wrong. Mikko kept saying he (that guy that is) has sort of the ideal body and I thought it was weird. Why am I writing about this? I guess it's just currently on top, I just told Inka about it. For the second time today. And it's only some minutes past nine. Good grief.
Emmu sent me an e-mail saying she had met one of my old friends (actually one of the oldest) last weekend and he'd told her he misses me. Sure, I miss him too, I realised it yesterday when I was talking about him, but I last contacted him at Easter and he didn't reply. Thus, I shall feel no guilt. Probably, hopefully, I will see him more during the summer.
I really should stop using the verb "shall". And "grief". And "blast". And "woe". But I love them dearly.
Me and Hellu took a long, long walk yesterday and it was quite nice. At first it was a little bit weird because we haven't really talked for ages but it was a nice catch-up thingie. It's so strange to think that this time next week, I won't be living here anymore.
Oh awww.. I'm just reading my August archives.. Sweetness. Everything here was so new and amazing. I just wonder who are the guys with great hair I was referring to.. Hmm. Actually, I think I might know. I have some vague first impression hair memories.. :)
And oooh! September archives! Yesterday I got a great proof of the "Hanna humour" Mikko was referring to in September. We were doing this exercise thingie in class (where there is another group with us). We had to wrok in small groups and in ours there were me and Sari and three people from the other group. Anyhooo..
Hanna: *stupid joke*
Sari: *snicker*
Others: *glare & silence* .. Okay.
So embarrassing! I think Sari's been able to figure me out and knows when I'm joking and when not but apparently it is still a problem for people who don't know me..
And I do need a life. I'm reading my own archives.

The world never stops fascinating me. I knew about the drag bingo already but yesterday I found gay karaoke. Of course when singing, person's sexuality is the most important thing..
Lovely weekend. We went to theatre 2-4 times, depending on your point of view. Friday it was the theatre group's concert, Saturday two (amazing) plays and yesterday Tsuumi. Whee. And I am so most completely broke. Naturally the Friday evening at Molly Malone's has nothing to do with this. Or the fact we ate out every day.
Oi! Inka's got a new website online. Go there, sign the guestbook and be happy.
I am so hungry. I was too tired to get up in time for breakfast. So I didn't have one. And now I deeply regret it. I feel I'm turning into a scary monster - as this happens every time I skip a meal - and everything annoys me. First I glare at people. Then I shall grrrr at them.
I need to help Inka out with a BlogSpot problem. What do I know about it? Nothing. Shall I try? Yes.
Edit: Meh. Not hard at all. Where's the challenge I was looking for? View her new-born blog here. It's funny how she put "rainy days" as the title at first, referring to the song Laughter in the Rain. All I could think about was I Like Chopin. What does that tell about me?
Edit 2: A-ha! Now it's called "Yellow Spandex". I love it. Nerd humour.
Edit 3: Hanna had a nice song quiz and as I have nothing better to do..
1. Name one song you hate to admit you like.
- Eeee.. I can't believe I'm saying this. Shakira: Whenever, Wherever
2. Name two songs that always make you cry.
(note: I very rarely cry when listening to music, but these do get me into a very special almost-crying state)
- Ville Pusa: Silver
- U2: One
3. Name three songs that make you feel energetic.
(this was originally "that turn you on" but I found that way too difficult to answer so I changed it, mwahaha!)
- Linkin Park: Points of Authority
- Prime Sth: I Don't Envy You
- Nick Carter: Blow Your Mind
4. Name four songs that always make you feel good.
- Almost anything Niko Ahvonen has ever done..
- The Ark: Angelheads
- Rasmus: In the Shadows
- Lemonator: I Love Trampoline
5. Name five songs you couldn't ever do without
- Nickelback: How You Remind Me
- Lemonator: You Stole My Heart
- The Ark: Hey Modern Days
- The whole Hard Day's Night album by the Beatles
- U2: Acrobat
Anything Robbie goes too. Robbie and Beatles would demand their own category. And I was very tempted to put anything by the Calling up there but skipped it. I also left out all the translated disco hits from the 70s and 80s.. I love them though. The only thing that beats I Will Survive in Finnish is Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go in Finnish.. :p

Yet more proofs of my geekdom:
Last night I had a dream I owned the Bullseye fanlisting.
I would've taken it as a prophetic dream if it wasn't already taken ;)
I've been trying to come up with some nice plan for tomorrow evening for Milla and myself. The journalist group will have a party in our flat so I don't think staying in is very comfortable.. bunch of drunken, loud people. Nice to observe when you're not one of them but hardly anything I want to do all night.
So I've been thinking of films and theatres and everything. The problem is that I'm broke. But maybe if we put our little heads (actually her medium-sizued and my very big head) together, we'll come up with something even remotely fun. On Sunday we're going to see Tsuumi again. Wheee..
My blog has been getting boring lately. Or maybe I just feel like I have nothing to write because for a while my life was so full of funny incidents and exciting things. Now when it's back to the same old, it feels like the ultimate bore. I'm not flying anymore.
Thursday, May 08, 2003
Teacher: Does anyone in the class, apart from you, show any signs of bilingualism from your point of view?
Anita: Hanna does, I mean she switches the languages very fluently.
Hanna: Huh?
Hmm.. But whatever she says. She's the brain.
Question: how do you miss a flight?
Dustin's not coming today after all because apparently he missed his flight. And I just can't understand how that happens. We were talking about this today.. I'm always the person who, although lives two minutes from the cinema, sits there 15 minutes too early complaining because the film doesn't start earlier. During the years, I've been late for school probably twice. So in my head, missing a plane is just near the impossible.
It is funny how people are different with time.
It is also funny how people are all different length.
I have had very deep thoughts today.
Some of them even concerning more important things.
Maybe it's because I'm so tired.
I'm very tired.
I went to bed at 10pm last night and still didn't get enough sleep.
I want to do it today.
I hope Jade won't be too upset.
I just can't stay awake.

The classic moments of life:
Emmu and me stand at the cinema for several minutes not being able to decide wheter to go to see Roman Polanski's The Pianist or something else. What do we choose?
Daredevil.
One of the amusing stories you wouldn't want to tell anyone because you're so embarrassed but can't hold inside because it's way too funny.
The film itself was errr.. a bit pointless and I felt like such a geek when I recognised both Stan Lee and Kevin Smith immediately. But anyway.. The image of Ben Affleck in that outfit will give me nightmares for a long time, that's for sure. But Colin Farrell.. Man, he's so cool. Speaking of a great performance in a film like Daredevil feels a bit silly, but honestly, he was awesome. Too bad there wasn't more of him. I demand Bullseye the Movie while I beg all the actual Daredevil sequels to remain undone.
I can bring Colin Farrell more peanuts anytime.
The best and also most embarrassing thing about the whole experience? Me and Emmu got both obsessed with the film music and handling being broke like we usually do, we bought the soundtracks. Now neither of us will have any money for the next forever but who cares? We've got the Daredevil soundtracks.. bloody eedjits. Oh well.

Strangeness. I got yet another category at the fanlistings. I am now the mythology & religion staffer too.. wee-ooot ;) I always did envy the staffer who had that.
This morning I shall dedicate to sorting out franchises. I am full of energy.
Monday, May 05, 2003
For once I've got time and I really wanted to sort out my new category at thefl.org. But because I am me and have my head full of holes the size of small potatoes, I couldn't remember the username and password, which of course are downloaded safely at my own computer at home. Thus, no sorting out the franchises category, just ashamed Sasha e-mail harrassing.
I could do this one school assignment but I can't be bothered. I know I need to do it at some point because otherwise I won't pass the course of intercultural communication (wouldn't be too sure of this fabulous translation of mine) and I am running out of time, but with last night's sleep, nooo.. Maybe I'll do it after blogging, who knows.
Tomorrow I'm going to see Emmu in Helsinki! Weee-ooot! I can't wait. It's been ages since I last saw her.. I mean, really saw. I did say hello to her on Wednesday and saw quickly on Monday two weeks ago but those don't count. All in all, exciting social week. Not only am I really seeing Emmu but Jade, Dustin and Milla are all going to visit. It's time for a happy dance.
My ear really hurts and it's annoying.
Also people who just say "mmmmph" when you talk to them are annoying.
Having a midnight snack and feeling your pj bottoms being way too low and then realising someone is watching is you is most annoying. Makes you feel very feminine.
I'm trying to eat less at once but it's very difficult after being stuffed 4 times a day in Russia. I tried eating smaller amounts but more often (half a packet of noodles a few times a day) - bad plan. Should come up with more sensible solution. Reason for this? I'm having a crisis. I've been browsing through my old photos a lot lately and suddenly I look very nice in all of them. I'm much smaller and have long hair and now I want to look like that again.
Don't know about the hair though. Part of me is very tempted to let it grow but I do hate the part when it's half way and nothing can be done to it. Eeee.. I ought to ask my hair consultant (Milla).
Pekka phoned me on Saturday night and suddenly I felt really bad for not staying in Karkkila for the whole weekend. Then again, he was wasted and I do prefer him sober. And I had nice time here too.. I hung out with Titta and Aino a lot and me and Inka watched loads of old Monty Python episodes.
Titta, Aino and me played this game, sort of, where we described eache other's ideal boyfriends. It was very scary. They kept saying things I only could agree on.. And in the end Aino told me that she couldn't give me a real-life example (which we did find for the other girls) but maybe a combination of these two guys we know. The scary thing is that I've been thinking of those two before and reached the conclusion where combining them would make one very good man.
But that sort of game is great. It gives you a good view on how other people see you. Recommended ****½ - ps. it's fun too.

Oh grief.Even though it is horrendous, this photo is very much worth sharing. Before our night out in the trendy-trend bar I blogged about a few weeks ago..
I am over emotional nowadays and I cannot cope. Me and Johanna went to the bar yesterday and I was really tired so I went home early. Even though I knew I was going to see her the following day, ie today, I almost cried when I left. I almost cried when she showed me an e-mail she'd got from Anton. This morning I almost cried when I read the feedback Emmu had left for me here in Tomatoes which I hadn't noticed previously. I can't bear the thought of going back to Lahti today, or more accurately, the feeling when Johanna and Milla will head back to Karkkila and leave me there..
We're going to Helsinki for the day - to have a nice day out but mainly to see Veera's photos - and they'll drive me to Lahti after that. Should be fun but the idea of parting is just .. nooooo..
I am overusing the phrase "I can't live". I can't live with anything. It was really cold yesterday and I couldn't live. The bar was packed and couldn't live. I heard Europe's Final Countdown and couldn't live. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Johanna can't live either and Milla seems to have difficulties with it too.
I've got so many e-mails to write but.. eee.. can't get myself to do it. Later, next week maybe.
