We had our Halloween party yesterday. Originally we were supposed to have it on the Wednesday after Halloween, but because the auditorium was already reserved for the school's 100th anniversary celebration it had to be postponed. Because the student council had already made decorations for it the original theme stayed, but since it's already almost December the party was kind of a mix of Halloween and Christmas.

Absolutely the best part was when a friend of mine turned up with full black metal gear complete with corpse paint and real cattle blood (I don't know why he didn't get pig blood). I had known about his costume beforehand but I did not know about the blood. I even thought it was fake until he started drinking it and pouring it on himself. XD That was fucking awesome. ("Do I have enough of it on my face?" "Yes, you have plenty of it on your face." "Cool." LMFAO)

Afterwards most of us went to the bar. When we got back to the campus again after about an hour (the bar closes early on Wednesdays) I was completely plastered. I can't remember much about the few hours between getting back to the campus and me actually getting into bed, but I know that I very likely said something stupid to someone (OH WAIT HOW'S THAT ANY DIFFERENT FROM HOW I ALWAYS AM) and that I passed out on the bathroom floor twice. Of course as a result I've had a massive hangover all day. I went to class in the morning but I came back to my room pretty soon.

Annnnd we're going to have another party next week. No fucking way I'm drinking anything alcoholic there, or at least not nearly as much as yesterday.

Everything I eat or drink tastes like puke.

I really should go to bed as it's already past 4 am, but I slept 16 hours last night so I'm not feeling particularly tired. :| I don't recall ever waking up past 4 pm on a school day before, especially when I'm not sick.

I keep misspelling everything because my left forefinger is bandaged.

EDIT// OKAY I JUST TOOK OFF THE BANDAGES TO CLEAN THE WOUND AND BANDAGE IT AGAIN AND I JUST HAD TO...IDK SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO BUMP MY FINGER AGAINST THE TABLE AND NOW THE SIDE OF THE TIP OF MY FINGER THAT WAS FINE CAME OFF. It doesn't hurt, I mean it already almost was off to begin with, but now the motherfucker's going to need more time to heal.

The Black Editions I preordered (one for me and one for a friend of mine) were in Packing status all day yesterday and the day before yesterday, but when I checked the situation again this morning I saw they had been sent. And according to Play.com they had already been sent on Friday. Uh, okay. Now I see that people weren't lying when they said Play likes to take their sweet time before updating the status of their customers' orders.

In other news, all three of Dio's concerts in Finland have been cancelled because he's gotten ill. ;__; I mean, I wasn't even going to go because the tickets to the concert in Tampere had already been sold out when I was supposed to buy them and there was no way I would've gone to Helsinki or Oulu because I would've had to spend the night there, because no matter which concert I would've picked there would've been no trains coming back this way until the next morning, and that would've costed a bit too much for my liking. It still sucks nonetheless. Baww I hope he'll get better soon.

Other than that...nothing. LOL BORING WEEKEND, I've literally just slept most of the time. ಠ_ಠ

The other day I was looking at /x/ threads in 4chanarchive and. Holy shit someone had posted The Dark Eye there in a game thread. With download links. I used to play TDE a lot with my friend back in elementary school (first without voice and then with voice when she got a new computer to replace her brother's ancient one - btw, it's seriously an entertaining game when you can play it for hours with no voice) and I swear that shit got me into reading Edgar Allan Poe. The game is based on some of his stories, namely The Cask of Amontillado, Berenice and The Tell-Tale Heart, with voiceovers of The Masque of the Red Death and Annabel Lee to be triggered in certain locations.

Man it feels good to play it again, I've been looking for it for years. The company that made TDE (in 1995; man it's old) has gone defunct so it goes without saying that it's pretty much impossible to find an actual copy of the game these days, but it's strange how hard it is to find downloads of it too. My friend lost her copy so she'll be very interested in this as well.

Speaking of games, I preordered the Black Edition of Assassin's Creed II for PS3. LMFAO NO I DON'T HAVE PS3 YET, I'm thinking of buying it next month (or at least in January...or February aksdhjk). At first I thought I would wait for the PC version but I'm afraid my computer doesn't exactly meet the system requirements, so. It's going to be released on Friday nnngh I can't wait to just have it.

I came home to Lapua for the weekend. My sister's cat Kasper is staying here until she's finished moving her stuff to her own apartment SO YAY PLAYING WITH A KITTEH. Or not really playing, more like bothering the poor thing when he's trying to sleep. YES I AM A CAT PERSON TO THE CORE (who still thinks it's alright to bother sleeping cats).

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY SO IDK ( HAVE THAT REALLY LONG MEME. )

I've got plans for January. My friend asked if I was interested in coming with her and potentionally some other people on an overnight cruise to Sweden and back. Apparently some of the other people who have been interested in going would like to spend a day in Stockholm, too. I definitely wouldn't mind that as long as everyone can pay for it. All I can say right now is that I'm still not sure if I'm going or not, depends on money and if people are actually still interested when the time comes.

If that won't work out (and if these two won't overlap) I might participate in a LARP with another friend of mine. I've practically sworn I'd never be involved in a LARP because A) I can't think up a character that would work in the game and B) I've got performance anxiety when it comes to stuff like that. Plus I'm just not all that interested in the whole concept anyway, I mean I really like tabletop RP but that's a whole another thing. The reason why I got into this is that this LARP has pre-written characters (which takes out problem A) and has a sort of an open script. It's alright to try anything once, so why not. And the hilarious part is that this LARP is based on Ai no Kusabi. Yes. Very loosely based, this time the blonds are the lower cast AND I WOULD ASSUME THERE IS NO ACTING OUT OF BUTTSEX INVOLVED EITHER. But still, it's based on Ai no Kusabi. I don't know how well the GM's can write so the quality of the so called script will be a surprise. In any case I think this'll prove out entertaining, or at least amusing. (Plus the LARP will only last for a day, and it would also be a great chance to go visit my friends who happen to live in the city the event will be held in.)

It's also possible that neither of the two will happen and I'll just dick around doing nothing until school starts again. )o)

IN OTHER NEWS I FEEL SHITTY AND THE WATER HERE TASTES SERIOUSLY FOUL.

Happy seriously belated Halloween guys! (But when it comes to Samhain I'm only a day late hurr.)

For the next two weeks we have printmaking with woodcuts, and after that we'll have a week of graphic designing. I've pretty much loved everything we've done here by far but now we are really getting to the topic of my main interest.

I had problems with my Internet connection for most of the weekend, but luckily it was only temporary and everything's fine now. I better get used to this happening from time to time, lol 3G connection.

ALSO TODAY I GOT THE SEXIEST SNAIL MAIL EVER. farelle DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT!?!?! I BET YOU DO, OH MY. NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I'LL BE IN MY BUNK FOREVER. G-god the book is so small and has that unique hand-made look it's so cool. Nnnngh I love you bb thank you so much for being this good to me. ...But I must admit I guessed it would be this, although you shooped the cover really well I still recognized it from the author's homepage. BUT GUESSING IS NEVER THE SAME AS KNOWING FOR SURE SO THIS WAS STILL A HUGE SURPRISE FOR ME. And the drawing was so adorable god girl your letters are always so moe.

What the fuck I slept until 4 pm today. Twelve hours of sleep what is wrong with me. I didn't even wake up when my phone's alarm went off, no matter how loud it is. Or then I shut it without even really waking up. That has happened before. :'D

I felt so guilty for missing such a great amount of working hours. I only managed to finish sculpting the statue's hand, although at least I've now finished this part. I have to remember to take a picture of the statue before I make the cast because when it has hardened I have to break the clay sculpture to get it out. And I'm not bragging, but it's pretty good for the very first srs bsns sculpture I've made (although it does have some anatomy fail). Could've sleeked the surface but our teacher said it actually looks just fine as it is.

But seriously I've felt like shit for the past week and it's still not getting better. My throat feels like somebody's been punching it and I get random headaches which in turn make me dizzy (BUT I DON'T HAVE FEVER WHAT'S UP WITH THAT). This is fucked up, and as much as I want to just shut up about it and work I realize I can't get anything done when I'm like this, or at least not in the pace I usually would. I've decided that if I'm not feeling any better by next week I'll just take it easy and try to get over it.

UNRELATED but I downloaded a bunch of the classic LucasArts games. I've been playing the first Monkey Island and it's just so glorious and nostalgic. The last time I played it was in elementary school. The same goes for the Indiana Jones games, and I can finally play Grim Fandango as well. But there's no way I'll just settle for the downloads, I must actually own these games and I sure as hell will.

I just got back from working on my clay sculpture. It must be ready until Monday because then we'll begin making a mold out of it, but I think I can finish it easily tomorrow. I was supposed to work on it all day today, but instead I slept until 3 pm, dicked around some until 7 pm and THEN begun working. Still, only five hours instead of the planned...well, much more than just five hours, and it's looking pretty good.

I bought Black Lagoon's first volume in Finnish the other day, and I should've read this manga earlier because at least the first volume was really good. Yesterday I also bought Loveless vol. 5 (it's really been some time since I bought the fourth!), Monster vol. 4 (oh god must buy this more often asdhhasdfh) and 20th Century Boys vol. 1. I still haven't read the latter two, though. I've often had a serious urge to just finish reading Monster online but I can't because it's way better to read book by book.

OH AND yesterday I also bought more vidya from GameStop. I wasn't supposed to buy any more games until I got PS3 but I can't help it that I'm a sucker for their 3 for the price of 2 offer. :| And they had the first Project Zero for PS2 for 7,90€. Whereas I bought it from England for 20+€. Hahahaha fml. ANYWAY, I found the first Ratchet & Clank and Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal (it's really just R&C3 in Europe but I like the full title) and they were included in the special offer so of course I had to get them. I don't like platform games very much at all but that series is just awesome. :Db Well, had to find a third game because SRSLY FREE VIDYA, but they didn't really have any other games that would interest me. They did have Clock Tower 3, and a part of me does regret not buying it just for the comedy value (I mean damn that game is kind of batshit) but instead I settled for Alone in the Dark. I don't even know if it's any good but I guess I'll see when I try.

MSN problem seems to be solved! For now at least. I tried to log in with my main address (it's somewhat new so I hadn't done it before) and I could actually stay logged in with my status as online. What the- what kind of amazing logic is this. WELL NOT COMPLAINING THOUGH. I was going to start using the new address with MSN anyway.

The address is seltsame_maschine@hotmail.com, add me if you like. Although I'm the kind of creeper who rarely says anything, so. Yeah. I'm bad at starting conversations with new people okay.

Ever since I got the USB-modem I've been having trouble with MSN. I can log in but only when I've set my status as offline. As soon as I set it to online or absent I get logged out. MSN tries to reconnect but as soon as it does the same happens again. This repeats itself over and over. I don't really mind it, at least I can log in in some way, but it's still pretty annoying when I don't know the reason. Or rather, I know it must be linked to the USB-modem somehow, but not the exact reason why. After all the Internet connection itself is working just smoothly. I spent over an hour today trying out all kinds of little tricks to fix it but so far it's been useless.

For the next two weeks we'll be having a sculpting course. I haven't done any sculptures since middle school - well there was this one little thing I did in high school but it was so shitty I don't really even want to mention it. I'm really pumped for this, the teacher seems great and the subject matter as a whole is just very interesting. We were supposed to have a live model but then the first one cancelled pretty much at the last minute, and the second one had to do the same due to school. I don't know what our main teacher (I don't know what to call him, he's in charge of the whole Art study line, though, including us and the Sequential Arts guys) will come up with now, but I guess we'll see tomorrow.

God I'm so addicted to ginger ale how did this happen. Also my throat is so sore you don't even know, and for some reason when I have a headache or a sore throat my jaw starts to hurt. So. Yeah that was useless information.

I finally got fed up with my pukey layout and picked this up from freelayouts. I'll have this until I can think up a layout I can make myself.

I don't know what's up with that white border, though. It shouldn't be there, and I sure as hell did everything right. D: FIXED. )o)

Other than that....nothing. Well I went to a bar with Marica and Petri on Wednesday, first we went to to this Czech-style bar that had the most delicious beer I've ever tasted. Budvar Dark, I love you. And motherfucking blackcurrant beer nnngh. I didn't order that but I tasted it, seriously it could've been spiked blackcurrant juice.

I was supposed to post about something but then I noticed Stephen Fry is on TV so I forgot what it was.

Stephen why you gotta be so awesome.

But I can't watch this because Marica and Petri will pick me up soon baw.

Kind of random but I just read this (and this, no idea why they are separate files) for the first time. And. HJHFDJHHFHS. DAMN GIRL YOU SO CRAZY. Makes sense that she's Russia's sister. :| (O-oh lol that scarf she's wearing is too cute though.) Lol for Porando being jealous.

Ugh Mom's watching some document on...fishing? Idk but it's totally guilt tripping me for liking seafood. I'm definitely not a vegetarian and I don't really even oppose hunting or fur farming, but damn I like animals so much I feel really bad for them when I see stuff like this. I GUESS I JUST AM A SOFTY THEN.

Managed to finish organizing my stuff in the closet. There'll be a weekend course held here and the people will be housed in the students' rooms, so I had to get my stuff out of the way. Anyway, I was supposed to vacuum but didn't have the time OH GOD CLEANER LADY I AM SO SORRY I WILL NOT DO THIS AGAIN. My mom's a cleaner and I know the wrath of their kind. No but seriously, I felt bad for not managing to complete everything I had planned to do and although the cleaners are supposed to go through every room, well, I could've made it at least somewhat easier for them.

Buuuuuut anyway. Now I'm just waiting for my uncle and aunt to come pick me up. AND I'M STARVING BTW I missed breakfast. I've missed breakfast every morning this week. Which means that...oh god I haven't had coffee for the whole week. NO WONDER I FEEL SO SHITTY. Ahh, but it's lunch time soon.

...Was there an actual reason for me to post? Most likely not, I guess I'm just killing time.

I decided I'd at least sleep for an hour in the morning. I had a dream and I'm pretty sure Oyanana was in it. I can't remember any details but he was there. This is the first time in a while since I've had a fandom related dream. I think the last time was when I saw a disturbing Kazuya/Kaiji dream of which I can remember hardly anything at all. Only the fact that it was seriously disturbing and when I woke up I felt like I just had a nightmare.

I just noticed the comissioner sent me e-mail about my illustration and she seems very satisfied with it. :Db

THIS IS A BIT LATE BUT STILL; WELCOME kafkaexplosion, kuzco, lintwhite AND modern_prufrock!! )o)

Just finished reading the current scanlated chapters of Kongou Banchou (a new chapter was up at OneManga just yesterday sdjsdjk no sir not a dead project) and then continued over to the raws.

OH GREAT THERE'S NOT JUST HEARTWARMING ANYMORE NOW THERE'S BAWW AS WELL.

And more heroic!Oyanana which makes me very happy in my pants. ...Annnd more epicfail!Oyanana as well which just sort of makes me really, really amused. Nice shota shorts. I really feel like picspamming the hell out of some of the chapters but I think I can't be arsed to do it right now. I mean it's already 4:28 AM WHAT THE FUCK. HONESTLY LAST TIME I LOOKED IT WASN'T EVEN PAST 3:00. 8| Oh lol I can't go to bed anymore, I'm supposed to be up at least at 7:00 and if I go to sleep now I won't wake up until 11:00 - no, I'd wake up around 9:00 when the cleaners would come in and kill my sorry ass for not finishing my part of the cleaning.

I'm going home for the project week, my uncle and aunt who live in Southern Finland are coming over for the weekend at my grandmom's (father's side) place and they'll pick me up on the way. Yaay no need to ride a train this time around. I love trains but usually I don't have much stuff with me so the traveling is easy, unlike now when I have to take more than usual with me since I won't get back here until a week later. ...Well technically I still won't be taking that much stuff with me, the most difficult part would just be carrying my PS2 around while having to switch trains on the way. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT, I CAN'T PART WITH KRATOS FOR A WHOLE WEEK.

Kind of unrelated but I also read the newest Drifters chapter yesterday. I have a feeling I'll really come to love it. I just hope Hirano won't make the ending so fucked up like he did with Hellsing. I swear I love Hellsing, it'll forever be my favorite manga but damn if it wasn't retarded in the end. Or...rather, it was always kind of retarded but SHUT UP THAT'S WHY I LOVE IT SO MUCH. But yeah, the story in Drifters is really starting to progress. Oda Nobunaga, Shimazu Toyohisa and Nasu no Yoichi taking over a land inhabited by enslaved elves and other demihumans and the slavemaster humans. I wonder what the hell will eventually come out of this.

( My Halloween party and your...interesting costumes )

Also this. This may just be my favorite strip yet. And lol Himaruya that doesn't look anything like a heart. :')

This week didn't start so well. I'm in a good mood and all but I'm so tired and groggy I can't get anything done. For instance, today I overslept until 11 am and didn't accomplish anything but doodles of Hetalia characters (maybe it's because their design is so simple that drawing them is so relaxing). I've been saying it a couple of times before without it happening, but I think I'm getting sick. WHICH MAKES TOTAL SENSE, after all we'll have our autumn vacation (= project week, as we are supposed to work on something) and of course it's only natural if I'm sick during that time.

Because I feel so unwell I had to miss MUCC's concert again. It was held this evening, but no can do. There'll be another chances, they seem to like coming over here every now and then. BUT I GOTTA SAY I'M PRETTY PISSED THAT THE TICKETS TO THE DIO CONCERT HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT. I WAS SUPPOSED TO BUY THEM THIS WEEK AND NOW THERE ARE NONE LEFT. Or I'll just try and get them somewhere else but still fffff. There are still plenty tickets left for the concert in Helsinki but I'm not sure if I want to go all the way there (I don't know if I could get back here on the same day, I'll have to find out).

What else...oh, I did manage to finish the commission in time, it turned out okay. I inked it with my new nibs, man I love them nnnnnngh. Although I'm being totally neurotic about them, I go all "DID THE EDGE BEND" and tweak them all the time.

So I have accomplished something at least. Other than that for the past couple of days I've mostly been reading Kongou Bancho during my free time. I LOVE IT, IT IS SOME EPIC SHIT. I'm reading it really slowly though, I mean I keep rereading some parts right when I first finished them. When I usually would by now be at around chapter 30 I'm still at chapter 11. :Db But this manga turned out to be a bit different from what I had expected...it's so heartwarming. I'M TELLING YOU KONGOU IS SUCH A GOOD BOY. Although at the moment Oyanana is my favorite character lmfao. I love douchebag characters who get beaten a lot and I thought he would stay like that, but ffff he turned so goddamn adorable so soon it almost pisses me off. OYANANA WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO PURTY AND HAVE SUCH AN AWESOME HAIRDO.

LOL oh my now that was an epic fight. Goddammit you lot stop being so freaking adorable.

Oh god I know I will become so fucking addicted to this.

WELCOME alistaere, chibi_saru11 AND tastesliketuna!!



Uh idk either I guess that's supposed to be some sort of an introduction. I don't even know where it's from, I only know that I like it.

I finally got to see Inglourious Basterds yesterday evening and. Oh god Tarantino you're my favorite director and I know I'm totally biased about you but still ASDHSDHNNNNNNNNGH. I fucking loved that movie so much. But I noticed a lot of things that were different from his previous movies. The way how the story is divided in chapters is familiar, and there's just the Tarantino look and sound all over but something feels new and different. I can't put it in words but I'm almost retardedly excited about it.

If Wednesday's bar night was boring then tonight (much much later tonight...man it wasn't even past midnight when I started writing this post, how slow can I be) should be far from it. I'm going to a fetish party with my frands. I'm also retardedly excited about that. I can't wait, I've so been wanting to attend a party like that, you know? I'm really curious to see how this'll end up...

TOTALLY UNRELATED but I really, really want to play the Pop'n Music games. I love the character designs and the music, and okay totally predictable of me but my interest stems mostly from my budding obsession in Goku-Sotsu-Kun and Koku-Sotsu-Kun, the latter being just the blond 2P version of Goku-Sotsu-Kun who possibly has a fan-given name, but I digress. I don't know anything about him, only that he is like some deranged Japanese politician and he's in Pop'n Music 14 as a boss of some kind. Some of the fans seem to interpret Koku-Sotsu as darker than Goku-Sotsu who just seems crazy but more happy. Man I really wish I knew more of him, and the game itself. Too bad the series isn't localized outside of Japan...OR IS IT? I really do not know shit of this so why am I getting so obsessed in it. :|

( Some clips from Pop'n Music 14 )

OKAY SORRY NEW (AND OLD) FRANDS RIGHT NOW I'M REALLY TIRED, I'M NOT USUALLY THIS RAMBLY AND DON'T POST BANDWIDTH-KILLING STUPID GIFS OR TALK ABOUT FETISH PARTIES AND NEW OBSESSIONS AND OTHER THINGS I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. No wait oh shi-
