feeling: a bit more ill - and hungry ><
listening to: sr2 gaming sounds. still.
whee, a new layout! i have a feeling i'm going to stick with this
one for a loooong time. is jehuty the sexiest thing on
earth (well, jupiter technically) or what?! ^^
i think i'm coming down with a cold. last night i woke up several
times either to not being able to breathe or to my own coughing,
and in the morning my throat was really sore. i went to school
today anyway because it was nothing worse. heck, it could've just
been the hair our cats leave laying about when the sleep on my
pillow. anyhoo, with the help of the medicine i took in the
morning i managed to survive school today, although i did start
feeling a little fever-ish during my chem class. now, it could
be simply because i haven't had anything to eat in four hours
(yes, that's a long time for me), but after coming home i've
gotten a nasty headache and that fever-ish feeling is back again.
i hope i'm not coming down with a nasty flu. i really couldn't
afford not going to school at the moment. besides, i hate being
sick, especially if it involves fever. ~_~
*pats van-sama* ^^

d00d! and i answered all of the questions honestly. i never knew
i was that screwed up! XD
20th august 2002
feeling: sleeeepy
listening to: my stomach growl
i wish i could draw like my sis. well, not exactly like
my sis, but as well her. at times i'm just dying to draw
something weird and totally screwed up on my school notes and
other random papers, but it never turns out as nothing but a
formless...blot on the paper. i'm simply hopeless when it comes
to drawing. i haven't drawn anything intelligent on my spare time
since i was like 10 or something, so you can guess how lousy i am
at it. my sis is constantly telling me to just draw 'cause
that's the way you learn (obviously), but i think you can figure
the motivation i have for drawing, when i can't even shape out
the most simple things. sigh. and besides, i never thought
drawing was a thing you can just take up and learn. i've
always though it's something you simply either can or can't do -
and i can't. i guess i should just go through some tutorials on
how to draw the basic stuff, such as heads and hands and hair,
and start out with the simple stuff. yeah...
i wanna go home. i'm on a double-freeperiod at the moment, and
after this i still have two lessons - chemistry and swedish. and
neither one of them feels very appealing to me at the moment. i
was actually thinking of skipping them and just going home. i'm
bad.
oh, by the way. i got my physics exams (the one i did in the re-
writes last week) back yesterday, and i actually managed to get
a better grade in it! whee! whereas i last time got a 5, which is
almost as as good as failed, this time i got a 7 (i think that's
something like a... C-, maybe?). yes, i'm well aware that it still
isn't an awe-strikingly brilliant grade, but you have to realize
that being in that class was like i had been listening to the
teacher talk in greek. and no, i don't know a word of greek, if
that's what you're thinking. so while it isn't the best possible
grade i could've gotten, i most certainly am satisfied with it -
even if the teacher still isn't.
the most amusing thing happened yesterday. just a few hours
before i got home from school, i blogged about our old nes and
about we still haven't been able to beat little samson on
'normal mode'. well, funnily enough, when i go home, riikka has downloaded the game onto our comp
on an emulator and was goofing around with it. of course i had
to give it a go, but as playing the game without a controller on
the computer was surpringly difficult, i decided to play it on
the nes instead. and being the masochist that i am, i go and pick
the 'normal mode', thinking i'll nail two birds with one stone
(horrible expression, btw): playing the game again after a long
while AND actually beating that bitch ta-keed and
completing the game on 'normal mode'. yeah right. it's not
'normal mode', it's 'insanely difficult mode', if you get my
meaning. and seeing as you can only get about half the size of
the lifebar you can get in the 'easy mode', i was constantly
getting my ass handed to me (die, eyeballs, DIE!! ><). oddly
enough, i somehow manage to get myself to the final castle and
to the final boss. after trying several times (that guy just won't
get any easier, no matter how much older you get! XP), i by some
miracle actually beat him! whoo, ph34r moi! ^o^ the
ending wasn't very rewarding, as it very often isn't in the old
nes-games, but the feeling of beating the game for real after all
these years was more than enough to make up for that. and i did
get a cute group pic of the characters in the very end. ^^
kikira is my hero. ^o^
19th august 2002
feeling: tired, but strangly happy
listening to: nothing
ungh. it's such a beautiful day outside, and i'm forced to sit
inside all day. i wish i were like my sis and had nothing better
to do than be lazy at home. then all i would do today was sit in
our backyard and suck in as much sunlight as humanly possible.
sunbathing on the schoolyard is hardly as satisfying. XP
it's amazing and amusing how damn tiny the new freshmans are! i
refuse to believe that i was ever that tiny or looked that
naive! :P
so, as
my sis already mentioned in her blog, we dug out our old nes
on the weekend and goofed around with it. i had forgotten how
much fun playing those old games you grew up with was, or how
mad cool the old 8-bit games actually were! i dare say that they
were cooler than the psx- and ps2-games of today, at least on some
level. god i adored some of those games...
little samson was one of my best-loved games. and it was
challenging, also, and not just pretty graphics-wise. we still
haven't beat it on normal mode, which is what you must do if you
really want to finish the game and beat the bad guy. i think we
should try that sometime soon, before we wrap the nes up again.
another game that was definitely one of my faves was wizards &
warriors 3: kuros ...visions of power. i think that was the
closest thing i ever had to an rpg before i picked up ff8 years
and years later. it was so cool, i remember loving that game to
pieces, and it wasn't even mine. i borrowed it from a friend,
and also finished it in a few tries, whereas my friend couldn't.
i used to do that a lot people didn't like borrowing games to me,
because i would always return the finished, and they had to ask
me how i did it, because they couldn't beat the game. XD
anyway, about the game...i wasn't the only one who loved it. my
whole family loved it. every time i sat down to play it, mom and
riikka
would gather around me and we would try to figure out things
together. and there was a lot to figure out! there were no faqs
back then, you had to figure out everything for yourself.
so i picked it up yesterday and played through it. took me about
three hours. i remember it taking longer when i was younger.
especially the entrance test for the 3rd wizards' guild used to
give me grey hairs and nasty headaches, because it was so damn
hard. i could try it for hours on end and still not get it. it
was a rare feat for me to actually get the third, levitating
wizard. well, oddly enough, as i played yesterday, i beat the
entrance test on my third try. my hands were still sweating like
mad the whole time, which didn't make things any easier, trust
me. all in all, the game was a lot easier to beat now that it
used to be. probably because i knew where i had to go and what
to do in order to get this thief or that wizard. the ending still
makes no sense, though... oO
13th august 2002
feeling: exhausted
listening to: vision of escaflowne - no need to promise
i think it's safe to say that today was the most tiring day i've
had in ages. i had to go to school twice today. first at
9am for the normal stuff and church (ew ew! ><), and then again
at 5pm for the re-writes. which were pure hell, by the way. i
swear, i'm not taking part in one single re-write again, as long
as i live. the experience was simply exhausting, even though i
think i actually did better this time around and if i'm lucky,
really get a better grade for the physics course.
anyways, the re-writes lasted from 5pm to 7:30pm or 6:30pm,
depending how long the original exam was. of course, being
the unlucky person that i am, i had to sit there for the aprox
three hours. and even though i'd like to think i answered all the
questions as thoroughly as i could with my jammed brains, i was
done 1½ hours early. but since the teachers are such damn
nitpickers about these things in our school, they wouldn't let
me out until 7:30pm on the dot. so i just sat there doodling
over my papers and hoping i could shoot daggers from my eyes at
the teacher. fun. not.
lol!
hard-working student, my butt. XD
11th august 2002
feeling: annoyed
listening to: tekken 2 - yoshimitsu arranged
i can't believe that i'll have to be in school the day after
tomorrow. it feels like it was only yesterday that summer holiday
began and i had two and half months of spare time in my hands...
i've said this before, but i wish i didn't have to go to school.
i'm not in the mood at all.
i just remembered how much i adore idolo. i just more or less
watched the movie while taking some screencaps and it still
amazes me how brilliantly ass-kicking it is. i couldn't bear
watching the ending of the movie though, it's simply way too sad
for me to watch idolo get hurt. i would just cry my eyes out if
i saw it. i stopped watching at the point where idolo curls
up into a ball, following radam's movements as he's cradlling
dolores in his arms when she's dying, and i still got
tears in my eyes. idolo was such a pretty angel. radam doesn't
deserve him. ;_;
sometimes i just hate living in finland. ><
Are you fucked in the head? Take the test.
XD XD XD
9th august 2002
feeling: hungry
listening to: bryan adams - here i am
whee, my hair looks decent now. well, actually it's better than
'decent', i absolutely adore it once again. the lady who cut my
hair was nice and sure knew what she was doing. my hair looks
great now. *is happy*
what's funny is that hairdressers never cease to marvel at how
thick and healthy my hair is. every damn hairdresser that i've
seen so far has always been amazed by how much hair i have. the
amusing thing is that that exactly is the problem with my hair,
at least as far as i see it. it grows insanely fast and is bushy
rather than beautifully thick in my own opinion. and on top of
that, my hair is extremely stubborn and difficult to manage if
it's even a little bit too long for the hairdo i'm trying to do.
so if anyone is in the need of some extra hair, i'll be glad to
send some your way. i have more than i need anyways. >O
i want my own car. well first i would have to get a driver's
licence, but that's beside the point. i want my own car so that
i wouldn't have to use the public transport anymore. i hate
busses and travelling in them, mostly because there are other
people in there as well, and not only me. today when i came home
from the hairdresser, a kid spilled his candy all over the floor
of the buss, and it went rattling down the steps and the aisle.
i couldn't decide whether i was amused or annoyed. what i
couldn't believe was that when the kid and his mom got off the
buss, his mom actually stooped down to actually pick up his
candy. i'm used to picking up food from the floor at home and
still eating it, nevermind the dirt or cat hair on it, but even
i wouldn't eat candy that has been rolling up and down the aisle
of a buss. i mean ew, think about how many people daily
walk that aisle with their dirty shoes, oozing with waltz-only-
knows what kinds of bacteria. gross, i say.
i'm starting to think that the stupidest and ickiest thing that
a human body can do is sweating. i know it's more effective than
say, for example panting like dogs do, but i still can't stand
sweating, as i'm sure no one else can either. and in my opinion
it doesn't even help the body to cool down, it just makes it
extremely uncomfortable. of course it would be amusing as heck
to see a buss full of people panting away like a bunch of idiots,
but at least it wouldn't ruin your damn clothes... >O

feeling: happy
listening to: soul reaver - ozar midrashim
i'm finally getting a haircut today. i've been neglacting my
hair for the past few months, and with my hair length, it's
really starting to show. i like my hair a tad messy and without
a distinct style, but this is a little too out of style
even for my liking. sure it's easier to manage when it's a
little longer and doesn't need so much work in the mornings, but
i'm getting a little sick of looking like i've never even heard
of scissors before. XP
god i hate our speakers. the right one is especially bitchy. the
sound wavers and sometimes vanishes all-together, so that only
the left speaker is emitting any sound. and i think you can
figure how retarded that sounds... not that i wouldn't enjoy
going violent on our speakers every now and again, but having to
beat the right speaker every two minutes is getting really old.
*cries*
just look at that! do you have any idea what it is?! i'll tell
you what it is - it's witchking ringwraith's sword. and anyone
who knows me, knows that i'm obsessed with all things ringwraith,
and that naturally i'm dying to get this item. my only problem
(and a huge one at that) is that the sword costs 545 euros.
imagine that - 545 euros for a sword! now where on gaia am i
gonna come up with that kind of money?! arrrrgh! ><
being a poor fangirl sucks. ;_;
7th august 2002
feeling: dead
listening to: final fantasy 2 - mystic mysidia
ungg, my feet are absolutely killing me. i'm such a pathetic bum.
mom brought me home from the town today on the rack of her
bicycle and i think it was the most painful and tedious thing
that has happened to me in a long time. and i did nothing but sat
on the rack the whole time, excluding a few uphills that i had
to walk, and i'm still as tired as if i had been driving the
bike myself. i swear, i'm getting too old and too tall for that
kind of stuff. ><
d00d, i'm dying to watch escaflowne again. alongside 2167
idolo and zoe, that stuff has to be the coolest thing there is!
i'm just dying to see the movie on dvd! *bounce*
i saw the new lotr dvd when i was out at the town today, and i
was literally drooling a puddle right on the dvd stand. i decided
a long time ago that i would wait 'til november to get the
special edition dvd with 30mins of cut-off materials, but now
i'm not so sure i can wait that long to get it. >O
...must...see...ringwraiths... :O
5th august 2002
feeling: w00t!
listening to: final fantasy kaoss oc remix
ph33r da yojimba! ain't he just the cutest thing ever? *huggles
yojimba-san* ^^;; so just in case you're really dense or just
slow, i have a new layout up. and a cool one at that. thanks for
the help (cough), sis.
:D
ungh. i really think there should be a law against dentist
appointments before noon. i had to get up at 7am this morning to
go to a dentist for my appointment at 8:30am. i mean seriously,
what kind of a time is that to go get your teeth checked? i
didn't even think dentist go to work that early. what if they're
still so sleepy that they have no idea what they're doing and
poke my gums out or something vile like that. speeking of which,
my gums actually do hurt. that's what so weird about dentists.
somehow they manage to make your gums and/or teeth sore, even if
they do nothing but look into your mouth. oO'
oh yeah. my mugetsu fic is up at
eclipse, so go take a look if you're into long-ish and boring
fics by people who can't write to save their lives. ;P
i need food.
3rd august 2002
feeling: okay
listening to: the bouncer game sounds
i want a new layout. i know i've only had this one for only about
ten days, but i'm already sorta bored with it. it's cool with its
freaky ringwraithness, but i'm in need of a change.
w00t. i finally got my mugetsu fic done and completed. i
had fun writing it, but i'm not a big fan of the outcome itself.
my sis seems to
like it alot, so i guess it's all good. i've never thought much
of my own writing abilities, so i always just asume that everyone
hates my stuff, even if they don't. but the feeling of getting
something you've been working on for a long time finally done is
one heck of a good feeling. ^^
the funny thing is, now that i've completed the mugetsu fic, i'm
left with this...void. that fic has been my project for almost
six months, and while i'm really proud of actually finishing it,
i'm feeling a sense of loss over it. weird, i know. i think that
i'll start writing another fan fic as soon as i can come up with
a decent subject. riikka
is harassing me about writing yet another mugetsu fic, but i
dunno... i think i'm out of creative (pfft) ideas when it comes
to muge-chan, at least for the time being. i'm tempted to write
about the black waltzes (ff9), but if i'll actually write about
them will remain to be seen.
i bought ninja scroll yesterday. i was faced with the
choice of buying either it, or bryan adams' newest single, and i
ended up buying ninja scroll. the choice wasn't an
incredibly tough one, either. i figured i could get that single
anytime i wanted, since it's so new. ninja scroll, on the
other hand is older and i'm guessing also more popular. i've only
seen one copy of it around where i live, and it's always in the
same store. i've been tempted to buy many times before, but
always lacked to funds to actually get it. i wasn't feeling
particularly rich this time either, but i just realized that if
i'm ever actually going to get, i have to buy it myself and do
it now, before i spend all my precious cash on something else. so
i bought it.
anyways, i liked it. it had cool action sequences
and much blood (whee! ^^), and i found myself chuckling every so
often at how jubei reminded me so much of dryden. i was just
waiting at him to blurt out some hilarious comment oozing with
male self-importance and then laugh like dryden does. XD
the demons of kimon were kewl. especially the blind guy. damn, i
wanted to see more of them, but their screentime was next to
none. i was left thinking 'uhh...aren't you guys supposed to be
demons or something...?' i was really disappointed in how they
were so easy to whack apart. demons, my ass.
all in all, it was a good movie, albeit the character design
disturbed me a bit. the all looked so...weird and angular. and
good god, was i the only one totally grossed out by that
stone-skin guy? i mean, EW! >.<
