i saved earth etc

OH HELLOO IT'S BEEN LIKE 3 MONTHS, LOL

...I've been active on my tumblr, though. >> OBSCURE BINOCULARS

Sssooo what's hip and happening.

...too much I can't remember everything.

- Somebody gave me a compliment of my blog. She was from my school and a complete stranger and I was reaaally puzzled when she just randomly told me that she likes my blog. If you happen to read this, thank you a ton!

- Today was Earth Hour and I remembered spending last year's with my ex. I burned my hair. Has it really been that long? Anyway, my current bf promised to spend Earth Hour 2013 with me.

- My bf has to study and it drives me crazy and I turn into monster and asdsddfdfgsfasd dating is too hard, especially when there's 165km and his entrance exams so we can't really meet. And when we meet, it's practise time. I mean musical practise, so no alone cuddly-wuddly-time. (BTW, I got 259/299 points from my English final exam. Now I just wish YTL would give me Eximia Cum Laude, the second best grade one can get...)

- As I mentioned above, musical practises have started again! Soooo Gin! the musical is here to stay, yay ;D Another set of months filled with singing, dancing, frustration, achievements, money problems, sweat, smiley faces and love... and a lot of bears and dogs ! The show will include a lot of new stuff and it will take place in Kuopio's Animecon on July, 14th-15th.

- I'm addicted to My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. At first I was like "OMG WHY DO THESE PONIES LOOK SO STUPID WHY ARE THEY POPULAR OMG." and then I was like "This is the greates thing ever." .....just go and watch it, it's nothing like the 80s episodes. Actually, watch the first two pilot episodes of My Little Pony from the 80s. They include sea ponies (SHOOBEDOO), weed and slavery. It's some deep shit.

- I'm in a D E S P E R A T E need of a summer job. I have to pay my rent and travel to Helsinki almost every weekend. And eat. I have money saved up and I'll get help from my family if I need but still, I have to get a job. I'll have an interview next week and I really, really have to invest in it. That job would be a dream come true and I needn't worry anymore. Just please, let me get a job after stressing myself like hell. Please.

Arrrr now I'm tired and frustrated so no photos or whatsoever. :'D

those lovely girls

Good afternoon!

There is a certain group of people I call "those lovely girls". I either envy them, want to be like them or just am fascinated by them, I really don't know. Some people just give me that feeling, "she is definitely one of those lovely girls".

I don't know if those lovely girls even exist. They're way too perfect to be true.

They are like roses, golden little buttons, the sweetest tea in the world... They are like meringue on top of a muffin they've baked, shade of peach in their cheeks, carmen on their skirts...

They draw and bake, read literature like Alice in Wonderland, their room is tidy and self-decorated. They enjoy peace and quiet the nature has to offer as much as a cup of hot chocolate or tea after a photograph session in the winter wonderland.

They look fragile, yet they have the temper to defend themselves and others. They find happiness in the smallest things. They are beautiful inside.

Elle Ribera looks like those lovely girls. (http://opiumpoppies.tumblr.com/)

There are just too many things I consider as "those lovely girls"-qualities. I couldn't ever be a completely lovely girl. And I don't even want to!

Speaking of lovely girls... To my mind Alice Burdeu is one of the prettiest girls in the world. Of course I haven't seen all the girls in the world so I wouldn't know...

And Audrey Tatou is as well. She's just way too adorable in Amélie.

I'm not saying everybody should be one of those lovely girls. Not at all. I love differences, I love different people, I love freaky people, I love nerdy people, I love all kinds of personalities! I have no idea why I am talking about those lovely girls. I just felt like sharing my thoughts.

...now I feel like watching Amélie with my boyfriend, but that won't be happening for months... But I could try to be like one of those lovely girls by tidying up my room a little. : )

like morning frost in the branches

of rowan trees

it can't hold me anymore

Helloooooo!

I turned 18 a week ago. 18! So I'm practically an adult! (YEA RIGHT LOL :----D) I had a big housewarming/birthday party thing and it was so much fun!

People say that it's not that big deal to turn 18. For some it will be because they can legally get alcohol, smokes etc. which I just find sad :'''DD But for me, my 18th brithday really was magical because somehow I dare to express myself more. It's really a big issue for me and I'm soooo happy and a bit reliefed as well.

But it's still funny that I'm 18.

Yess.

why don't you

cry for me?

notice

Hi to you who shall not pass!

Sneak peek! I'm knitting a scarf for my boyfriend. My goal is to knit 10cm per day and so far everything's going smoothly~ I had a little trouble getting things started because last time I knit was in elementary school (I think.), and that's almost six years ago.

I finally managed to pull myself together and decorate my calendar! "Elontahti" means "The Rate of Life". I just wanted to be more... "creative" and use some nice words instead of just plain "calendar".



I painted the cover for Elontahti black and smudged my floor. So uhm, I started writing random words because I felt like it. Thank God I wiped it away pretty soon, otherwise it would've stuck there :'D (I didn't clean up my desk in time and now it has ink stains... And the desk is not mine =_=;;)

My boyfriend and his friends are amazing. The princess of Sweden, Victoria, and her husband Daniel visited Finland this week. My bf and his friends had composed a song about Daniel quite some time ago and they played it to the royals - twice. The second time made it to the publicity and a couple of internet magazines wrote little articles of them. Vickan and Daniel seemed to like them a lot :D

Here's a link to the video.

ps. Our Pack started a website/blog about our musical and other stuff, feel free to read it ! http://hopeanuolimusikaali.wordpress.com/

Hi!

It's funny. At the same time I feel like I don't do anything or I don't have any projects but when I stop to think about it I have lots of stuff to do. I also have my two little autumn traditions... : D

This autumn

- I'll draw autumn the third (can't wait ! : D)

- I'll do my "Poetess' October 2011"- diary. (last year I did it only halfway, this year I'll try making it the best so far. (I've done this since 2009.)) Basically I write a poem each day about daily happenings for the whole October. This year I may want to illustrate it as well. I came up with this idea myself but later heard that other people have done this before. Oh well.

- I'll watch a whole anime series from the beginning to the end! I sit in front of the computer but rarely finish any series. This year I've managed to watch Kaiji and Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin. I have three episodes left of Ika Musume (season 1) and today I started watching Star Driver since my friends talked about it. Me & KiBi are also planning to watch Ginga Densetsu Weed together. I also need to watch Hanasaku Iroha!! I like it but I forgot to watch it every week so I'm faaar behind with the episodes.

- THIS WEEKEND! I'll spend it with my lovely pack of dogs ♥ Our musical group (well, some of it) will get together and watch lots of musicals ^^ (Moulin Rouge for example... Even though I don't care about it much.) Also, we have to talk about certain things ; D

Some of our brave dogs. Please click to enlarge! ♥ Photo (c) Emilia Lahtinen

- AND NEXT WEEK! ...I'll finally see my boyfriend... I've been melancholic because I miss him. KiBi ♥ ; _ ;

- And I'm part of a roleplaying campaign each Friday!

- I have a larp in three weeks... Can't wait for more info!

- And and and and I have at least three theatre projects in school plus one which I am planning. : D

Oh. So much to do. : D I have to finnish Watership Down as well... I still love the book even though I've only read half of it : D I ALSO HAVE TO DRAW MORE, RAAAAAR. (Instead of only complaining about it, I should just shut my computer and draw.)

Random pieces from my drawing diary for school. Some of them made with heart, others... Well... :'D

I love all kinds of projects more than anything, but I tend to lose heart at times and feel like I can't do anything. I try my best to keep a smiley face!

Ikävä synnyttää runon

johon haluaisin kietoa

syksyn ja sen lehdet.

ps. If you're interested in reading about our musical's behind-the-scenes problems, please read this. (Sorry, Finnish only.)

boil our blood

Hiyaa!

I have to tell you.. I have to tell you! I started reading Watership Down! ...since I've heard that the book actually is good. And so far it has been interesting. I just try to overcome my ultimate fear of the movie... :'D

The Flogging Molly gig was awesome! I had so much fun! All of the seven members brought us a brilliant, energetic gig... I'll probably share my thoughts later when I can upload my low-quality videos and photos :'D

And for the first time, I've been blog-tagged! :'D

"There are six things you have to tell. 3 negative and 3 positive, and be honest about them. In the end, tag six blogs and link the blog who tagged you.

Three negative things you have to tell.
1. Your least favourite cosplay and why. 2.Your worst experience at con. 3.Your worst con and why.

Three positive things you have to tell.
1. Your favourite cosplay and why. 2. Your best experience at con. 3. Your best con and why."

1. Your least favourite cosplay and why.

The photo tells it all:

2. Your worst experience at con.

I've never really had bad experiences. Sometimes being in con has been boring, sometimes I've had headache. Maybe the feeling after an all-nighter at Desucon :'D Or when I was playing with a toy gun at Nekocon 2008 and got scolded. Bwah.

3. Your worst con and why.

Well, I won't count Manga Day as con. Agh, this is a hard one. It's either Nekocon 2008 or Tsukicon 2008. Nekocon was boring boring boring and expensive, Tsukicon was way way WAY too crowded and full of wannabes. Sorry for being rude but it was like that back then. I don't know the current state since it's not that fashionable to like all this japanese stuff anymore.

1. Your favourite cosplay and why.
It has to be this:

I love Clannad, I love Kotomi and this one was done carefully. And my wig wasn't half-bad. I used this at Bakacon 2010 and I just have to use this again!

2. Your best experience at con.
I have way too many good experiences!! Like in the 2006 when I had so much fun with Rewe and the rest of the crew or in Bakacon 2009 where me and KiBi (we were getting to know each other then, heh.) competed in Iron Ganguro and spent a lot of time in Desuroom watching Mikan Seijin-Hour and laughed our asses off. Or in the following con, the first Desucon where we watched Kimagure Orange Road dubbed in Finnish... Or the night in Desucon 2011 where he asked me to be his girlfriend. ♥ And I bet our GNG!musical will be one of the best con experiences as well :D

3. Your best con and why.

I think I just have to say Desucon 2009. All the crazy randomness me and KiBi did... was just... I dunno. Unforgettable.

I have to tell you, I haven't been cosplaying since 2010. I have no money and no sewing machine for example :'D I'd like to cosplay more but hrmm. Maybe in the future!

I WON'T TAG ANYBODY MUAHAHAHA.
But here's the link to Viv's blog.♥

shit happens when you party naked

but we won't stop.

let life crystallize

We'll be broke but never broken,

let us laugh until we cry

HI.

The quote is taken from a lovely song called A Prayer For Me In Silence.

I know it's been a month since I last posted anything but my summer has been loaded full so I really haven't had the chance to just sit back and relax.

So... What has been hip and happening?

I had my first summer job.

I've been away from home every single weekend. Thanks to our lovely Hopeanuoli!musikaali (GNG!musical) practises + Desucon, Animecon & Ropecon. Actually, I was away for 10 days because first I went to Ropecon and then we had a whole week of practising. BY THE WAY the show is on September 3rd, 5PM at Tracon (in pieni sali, Tampere-talo, Tampere). I know I've wasted hundreds of euros on just one show but... But I think its worth it. The whole musical project has been a wonderful experience. Now we just want to have a huge audience, of course! ; D

I got myself a lovely boyfriend whom I actually miss right now. I wish I could just hug him ; - ;

I MOVED AWAY FROM HOME. This is going to be heck interesting... I share this apartment with my friend and... Yeah. It's going to be interesting. We have for example went for a night swim and there were a lot of bats hunting for insects. And we have a mannequin in the corridor who has chlamydia and we are growing a tomato named "Detective Over-Difficult" :'D

When we combine some of the letters of our names it makes "Pina", but we add an extra "i" to form "Piina", pain. So welcome to Piinan pesä, the Nest of Pain! I made this label and now it embellishes our front door :'D

School starts again on Wednesday, hmm.

FLOGGING MOLLY IN 4 FUCKING DAYS !! I CAN'T BELIEVE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT~ My all-time favorite... And I'm finally gonna see them play live! I bet I'm going to enjoy it more than chocolate! And that's a lot!

Now I just want to create. I want to draw. Dream. Overcome the fear of failing. Just let my brush play with colors.

...I somehow missed the summer nights I love so much. It's the start of August, but the summer is slowly turning into autumn. Autumn is my favourite season. I always feel so inspired I almost can't take it. I can't wait to draw "Autumn the Third". (the first & the second)

I want to shout.

Spread my arms and welcome the autumn breeze like an old friend

returning from the sea.

when kicked out

***

midsummer

don't ship me down the water

I feel like posting something but don't really have anything to say. So umm...

WATERSHIP DOWN. HOLY SHIT. I was so fucking afraid of it when I was a kid and when I watched a clip of it now it really shocked me. It was worse than I remembered!! I can't describe this feeling but I really really REALLY am shocked of it ;___; I can't agree with one website saying "Wherever you are in the world, if you mention the words 'Watership Down', you are sure to raise a smile." ;___; I'm traumatized! Hard-time!!

Today is the "Respect Tits"-day xD So I wanna say; I like tits.

I got a summerjob!! ♥

This is pure idiotism: http://www.nuotta.com/kampanja
It's about a girl who was bisexual but then found God and was "cured". And the campaign says things like "Don't give in to the pressure of the society!" and "Make your own choices!" and "Be free!" and then it says that you should seek the answers from Bible only and that being bi or gay etc. is wrong. What a bunch of hypocrites.

DO NOT VOTE FOR PERUSSUOMALAISET THIS ELECTION ;___; Please!

Japan is a very dear country for me and it saddens me to see my Japanese friends helpless. Please help the Japanese! Via Red Cross or something. ;__;

Hmm. I got my cable from Kibi! Now I can transfer my photos from my cell phone to the computer 8) Hallelujah!

...and now I can't find it.

AAAA THE FUCKING WATERSHIP DOWN............. Fuck shit. I can't take this anymore!! AAA ;__;

Okay I'll try to calm down. It's hard.

Here's Helsinki for you. I want a better camera.

BTW! We are currently working on a Ginga Nagareboshi Gin/Silver Fang/Hopeanuoli- musical. If interested check our Facebook-group "Hopeanuoli!musikaali" or send mail to hopeanuolimusikaali [at] live.fi : D We need actors! Singers! Dancers! People! Dogs! Whoever who wants to help! ^^

Well, that's all folks!

Watershipdown.
