Aeeee.. I'm a mess. I just phones Emmu and even though I'd been waiting for that for hours, there was nothing much I could say. Except go "aeeeaaargh" most of the time. She was supposed to tell me hwo to solve everything and then a magical moment later everything would be alright. But no. She was not much help. thinking of it sensibly, there was really no way she could've said anything anyway. So she'll be forgiven. Eventually.
On a side note: I just checked what's going on at Blast and well, blast!, there's a new layout. I hate to advertise my own fanlisting but eeeee.. that is gorgeus!
We've been here for two hours and mum and granpa are already fighting. Lovely. Well, tomorrow I have to wake up around 5am anyway because we're leaving after 6, so I won't have to suffer the situation much longer. Still, this amazes me.
Oh and aeeeeee! I'll have to spend the whole week (no, not really - just until Friday) without my beloved computer and and worse still, my TV. I own too much stuff.. we couldn't fit them anywhere. Oh well, they'll follow next week. Until then I will have to come up with alternate ways of entertainment. Books. Hooray. And I could use a new pair of trousers.. mmm.. ;)
The last entry I'll be writing in Karkkila with this computer.. it's leaving with me. And suddenly I feel sad and nostalgic. Weird.
We're leaving in a few hours, almost everything's packed. I still need to finish some stuff, but mostly I'm ready to go. And I can't quite understand it.. Parting from Johanna last night was terrible. She's at least as terrified as I am.. it's funny how we're moving and starting school exactly at the same time.
The timing annoys me though. My life over here was just getting more interesting. New people, new things.. and now they all will have to wait for the weekends when I come here to visit. Meh. I wish I could just drag everything with me. That'd be nice.
You can tell me I haven't been sleeping.. this is probably the most un-interesting language ever.. ought to write in Finnish, let everything flow freely. But I can't be bothered as I already started.
We were supposed to go to Ikea yesterday but Emmu had to stay home to take care of her little brtoehr who was sick and I had the hangover from hell. I can't even remember when my last hangover was, but yesterday was bad. Really bad. I think it was mostly because of the fact I only slept for about 3 hours. And hadn't eaten anything.
Never try to say "she's just joking" when you're tired or tipsy. Or both.
PotC, most entertaining but 60 minutes too long. Master Depp great, but what was with Orlando's moustache? Sweet cheese! It got better by then end when he had a beard as well though. Apart from the moustache I didn't mind him.

I own the starngest things. Like drum sticks, for instance. Now I don't know what to do with them.
And as it is so typically me, somehow between last night 11:30pm and this moment, I've managed to lose this rather important envelope. How do I do it? I need i now abut itäs nowhere to be found. Arrrrg. I don't think I'll sleep tonight unless I find it. Blast.
A few more hours and I can go.. Pirates of the Caribbean is finally opening in Finland and I'm going to see it right away. Hooray! After that probably the bar but you never know.
I just realised Keira Knightley is 3 years younger than I am and I cannot cope with it. Horror.
Why does there have to be a Jeepers Creepers 2?
And why can't I find that effin envelope?? I really do need it.

I don't know if it was the film, the cider, the pringles, Jonathan Rhys Meyers or the fact that I let myself relax for a while but I do feel a lot better now. I even packed two more boxes (and thus ran out of the empty ones again).
Or then it could be because I showered. Or then Prime sth. I hadn't even realised I missed it so much until I got it back.
Lovely, the depression is here. :]
It's been a shitty day altogether. Right after I woke up I got a text message from Emppu sayin she'd like me to pay back the money I owe her. Sure, I can do it, 7.5e, right? Nooo.. apparently she's completely forgotten the 40e I gave her a few weeks ago. Luckily Emmu remembered.
I'd like to say that it's the last time I borrow money from my friends but I know it won't work.
Well, anyway, after that everything's been downhill and now I'm a mess. And my packing's going nowhere. The boxes and bags get fuller and fuller but the stuff isn't disappearing like it should. I will try to get everything in order tomorrow but am not too sure of the results.
I just want to go .. grrrrr!
And I feel like renting a film and eating like a pig but I know it won't make me feel any better, probably the complete opposite. Hm.
Still, worth considering. Definitely.

I don't know if all this packing's making me feel excited or just incredibly sad. I don't know.. On one hand it's great to leave home because I honestly don't think I could've coped with mum for another month, let alone a whole year. On the other.. it's so effin' far! I know I'll manage, I always do, and I know it's normal to feel like chickening out but gaaaah.. help!
Also, leaving this town feels a bit weird. Even though I've lived in Huittinen and Lahti, I always knew it was temporary and I would come back. Now it feels all too final. I've just found a bunch of people I'd like to get to know better and now don't have time. Shame.
To brighter things, found the best thing from a flea market yesterday. New Kids on the Block animated movies! I never knew such things existed! I'm broke and all, but nothing - and I do mean nothing - in this world could keep me from investing a few euros into those. I love them! Two on a tape, I must go back tomorrow and buy the other one (only two there originally and I bought one yesterday). Also found Batman earrings and hair clips.. whee :) And all those while on quest for the perfect teapot, which I never found. Mum gave me one of hers. Cute enough, I accepted it.
Also, I can buy the other video tape with clear conscience because I just got this CD for free I had prepared to pay for. I feel bad, really. I've paid for worse CDs, just for the support and regretted it later bitterly because they turned out to be even more crap than I thought. This I knew to be good but somehow ended up not paying for it - even though I offered to, twice! - and now I feel silly. Hm.
I. Want. Beer.
Haven't drunk any for a good while (I've got a strange long drink phase) but I just went out for a pint (and tea) with Johanna and now it stuck. Darn. Just when I was succesfully breaking out of the habit.

Ooo.. the amount of pots and pans and stuff! I never knew I had so much of all that shite. Oh well, saves me from buying them now. Thank you dad! He's been giving all this kitchen stuff for every birthday and Christmas saince I was 15 or something.
I'm trying to download a new firewall and virus scanner again, but there's a problem I can't figure out. The old one's letting me update but for some reason I don't trust it too much. Hmm. I hear there's a new worm going around among with several viruses. Honestly, the people who create these must be extremely bored.
Tomorrow it's Ikea. Plates and bowls. Wheee..
Mum's letting me borrow these coolest curtains she found from the basement. Marimekko design from the early 70s I think. First I felt bad because I know mum likes them but then again, I didn't even know we had such curtains. If they haven't been in use for the past 20 years, I can't see her missing them much.
Isn't my life exciting? Pots and plates and curtains. But as long as I find them entertaining enough, there's no reason to complain.

Work depresses me. I don't know what happens to me there.. instantly when I get there, every single day, I start looking like I haven't showered for weeks, smiled in years or slept in the past forever. Hooray. And it's not only look-wise, I start feeling like a complete arse as well. Meh..
Today was the strangest day. It went fairly quickly but I was completely clueless about everything. A few people I need to talk to popped in and I didn't even say hello because my mind was somewhere else (basically, I was thinking of noodles, I was starving). Go me! Not that it matters, nothing was too urgent. I just appeared as impolite idiot.. Hm. But one of those things I want to sort out before I move. Well, it's another three weeks, no hurry..
But I still haven't cooked those noodles. Why?
Caritas has been discovered, thanks to Anna-Leena.
It's nice. I haven't found a nice forum since I stopped posting at bb.net ages ago.
Mentioning Anna-Leena, last Saturday was one of the nicest days I've had in a long while. I hadn't seen her for a year and we've been really lazy with keeping contact as well but I barely noticed six hours passing. Really, it felt like two or something. We just walked around and talked a lot. And went to see some tent Scientologists had put up next to the railway station. That was scary. Anna-Leena also wanted to try bungee jump and so she did. As I watched her dive from 155 metres I decided that she is not a sane person.. :p
Anyway. It was great to see her again and free my inner Buffy geek.
After seeing Anna-Leena I saw Anna which was nice also even though we didn't have enough time to really get on bottom of things. Mind you, we never do. I can spend 48 with her straight and still we run out of time in the end.
Also bought Buffy season 1 on DVD and now I want the other seasons too. Blast. I can't afford them.. Even though I found a place where they are cheaper.
Milla comes back from Greece tomorrow. I am bitter. She'd better bring me something nice..

More webby things. It amazes me how many people suddenly love my layout at LW after they've seen Pirates of Caribbean. It seems like Johnny has re-claimed his status as a teen idol. That would also explain why there was a huge poster of him in the lastest Demi. Oh well, not that I mind. It's nice that people like him. And the layout that was only supposed to be temporary...
Watched 20 Days Later yesterday (and finally understood why everyone was thrilled with the last lines said.. well what do you know, the Finnish language) and liked it. Just one thing kept bugging me.. who does he look like? Reminds me of someone.. can't say who. Annoyance.
Also watched Elling which was the cutest thing I've seen in a long while. Apparently it's being re-made in the US. I hope they won't ruin it (and I'm sure they will).

I've been reading like a maniac for the past two days and now the task is over. The fifth Potter has been read.
Jebus.
Emily warned me it would be angsty but I can't say I was prepared enough. And let me just say nooooooo! It all happened so quickly I wasn't quite sure I even followed it correctly and then it finally managed to sink in. I'm still digesting, I don't want to accept it. I've decided to live in denial.
Honestly, how cruel can an author get?
Also, I've come to conclusion where I don't like Harry. It's been in the air since book 1 but now it's settled. Unless J.K. Rowling somehow changes his personality suddenly. Until then, yay for Neville.
I should start with a serious inbox cleaning. I already did a little yesterday. Deleted a bunch of pointless messages and e-mailed Mikko. I would have time for a few average e-mailes now, or for almost one of the Emily standard before I have to go toi work. Gone are the three weeks of freedom.. sigh. But only three more weeks to go, I think I'll be able to handle it.

Woo. I'm back. I've been meaning to start writing again for ages but nothing's come of it. Maybe it's better to have long computer holidays every now and then, really. So instead of sitting here staring blankly at the screen I've enjoyed the joys (and downsides) of my real life, read quite a lot and watched way more films than is good for anybody's health. Go me.
Babble, babble.
While I was uploading this layout I found a file titled "hugh.html". Not remembering what it was, I had to check and tadah! It was a blog layout featuring Hugh Jackman and, ironically enough, titled "live a little". Hmm! Maybe I could have like "Live a little" series. The layout was quite nice, I don't know why I never used it. It might have been the ugly stripy background, but whatever. Maybe later.
Referring to my June 11 post, I did not fail after all. Well, I did partially. I didn't get into the unicersity of Tampere, which was my first choice, but Joensuu accepted me. I still can't believe it. I'm actually a real student. Me! Wonders never cease.
It's been a real summer of Big Events, this one. Equally good and bad things have occured, one after another, and I can't really say what have been the best and worst ones. I don't think my head has processed everything just yet. Still, I wish summer wasn't almost over yet. Even with the bad things happening, it's been one of the best periods of time in my life in a good long while and I wish I could hold on to it.
Here I sit, grinning like your average happy eedjit. I wonder how long it will take before I get back to normal.
I've lost the hang of this again. But I shall not panic. It'll probably come back to me after a while.
Oh, and in case anyone's ever been wondering:
