Apologize

I promised I'd write a blog today, and that in this blog I'd write about various stuff.

However, I didn't take in count the plans I would make for the rest of the vacations, and by ignoring that variable I was being stupid.

As it seems, I'm going to the gym now. If only the busses would pick me up, since the last bus was too early (about 10 mins) and I didn't make it.

After gym I'm going to see a friend (actually my mom's friend, but hopefully my mom's friend's daughter's going to be there) and then at seven meet with a friend.

We're going to see a movie. It's called Hierro - the island of secrets (I don't know what it's called in English, since that's a translation from Finnish, and the Finnish one is probably a translation from Spanish).

It's a Spanish movie, from a really good production team that filmed The Orphanage and Pan's Labyrinth!

I've only seen the first mentioned, but my expectations are really high, judging by the earlier production! I hope to see terror, thrilling fear and amazing twists in the plot.

I just hope I'm not putting my head in the clouds without my feet on the ground! :P

Let's see, half an hour left, but I want to be brief since I don't want the bus to skip me once more.

Like I was saying, this is why I'm not getting to write a blog today. In fact, if everything had gone right, I wouldn't be writing this one either. So thank my bad luck.

Which takes us to the following: I won't be writing a blog tomorrow. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to write a blog before next weekend. I might find a small gap to do some creative writing on Wednesday. After I bake the cake I'm going to take to the NY fiesta :D

But why no blog? Cause I'm heading to Kuopio tomorrow! I'm going to see a friend and since it's a long way, there's no point of staying there for just one day. Not sure, though, that she'll stand me for that long, so might be coming back earlier :P

I have time for a few more topics.

A light bulb in our kitchen exploded! It seems that the snowing managed to penetrate our roof somehow and after melting it managed to reach the lamp! So when the cold water touched the hot light bulb... POP! And the scariest thing is that I was eating right next to it! Just a small bit diagonally, so nothing hit me. What if someone had been looking at it? O_Q

This reminds me of something I thought... it's always cold in my room, I see reflections in my monitor, light bulbs explode... omg, do we have an evil spirit in da house? I think I'm gonna call my friend and ask her what else than rock salt would help ;)

Then one of my favorite topics and phenomena. YouTube!

I heard that a Finnish song has reached almost three million views! Whoa. But guess what? It's a crappy piece of s****. It's a song by two girls and it's called Pissiket (chavs? Not sure if it's called that in English :D) anyway, I'll embed the song here at the end of the blog. Even if it's bullhorn, we gotta be on Finn's side!

Another funny thing on YouTube is this guy, KassemG, who goes around California interviewing people. The vids are stupid, but funny! I'll embed one of those too.

And the last, but not least! A shortie called Deadline.

I promised my friend I'll feature the shortie (in which, in fact, I as well played a small role) in my blog!

I tried to search the link to YouTube, but I couldn't find it. I guess keeping up the tension is good.

I'll try to get the link by the time I write my next blog ;)

Now to the videos!

Enjoy!

Oh, and since I quoted a really good song, and I don't want to get in trouble for that (duh, lame, I know, but just joking :P) I'm going to embed that one too.

Paramore - Brick By Boring Brick. The new single. New and new, but newest at least (afaik).

PS. No time to check the text, so excuse me all the mistakes :(

I'll have to run for the bus! See ya, luv yall! And damn you, stupid font change! Hope you burn in the deepest pits of...

Christmas is Right Round the Corner

Today, unlike I promised, I won't be doing anything special. The review will still have to wait, unfortunately.

Why? You want an honest answer? :P

I'm feeling lazy! I guess it's the vacations tearing me down.. The one bad side in holidays is that. Makes me lazy, which makes me bored, but since I'm lazy, I can do nothing to the boredom.

I'm not leaving you totally without a blog tho, since I probably won't write in the next two days (Christmas Eve and Christmas day! Yay).

Obviously and predictably our topic for today's gonna be Christmas!

Only one day to open presents, I'm already excited! I got presents from my dear friends, which I haven't opened yet. Against my expectations really, since I am really curious. I would've thought I'd open them already.

I have no idea of what I'm going to get from Santa. I haven't made any wishes, other than my gifts being cheap (our financial state, etc.)

If I get socks and chocolate, I'll be just as happy as if I got a new iPhone! I had been wishing for a new mobile, since mine is a bit sucky, and my mother's sucks and my bro's mobile sucks.

If I got a new one, my mom would get this less sucky one, isn't that logical and totally fair? Thought so :P

As for the "where" of our Christmas, the answer is Parkano! We're going to my mom's cousin. My grandmother is coming with us, and my mom's aunt is probably going to be there as well. Other people include my second cousin aged 10 and my mother's cousin's wife. Ohhh! And the lovely dogs and... two(?) cats! I might be taking some pictures, so I'm pretty excited! It's a long time since I've been photoshooting.

This isn't the first time we've been there, we usually go there every Christmas. It's usually fun, and the food is good. There's also Santa to whom we sing and we play ring games.

We stay overnight, and leave the next day :)

Now onto the random section (see, I told you it was going to be a short one :))

My friend said my nickname (Nipa) sounds like a penguin name! I was offended by that, since I don't want to be a penguin!

But my friend explained that it's not such a bad thing. In her opinion penguins are cute and intelligent animals. I hope so, too.

I like to talk to myself. I hope that doesn't sound weird and that everyone does that. If not, I apologize :D

It's not like I do it all the time, it just happens. And no, I don't discuss world hunger and climate change with myself. It's usually pretty stupid and idiotic subjects, but let me have that.

I'm stupid. Once again. I'm so inappropiate, I don't know when to say something and when to leave it out!

For not thinking before speaking, one of my friends got hurt. I hope she doesn't let that affect her Christmas, since Christmas should be a glad fest!

Other thing I noticed is that nights are scary. Especially if you're the only one awake, and you watch a video and in that video you see the doll from Saw. All the sounds coming from diverse parts of the house and the feeling that someones watching you!

Heh, I'm not really scared scared. I'm actually scared of thinking something really scary, like scenes of horror movies. And since I try to not thing about them, I usually think about them!

What a vicious cycle!

I just saw a reflection on the monitor. I hope it wasn't a ghoul ready to kill me and tear me apart =X

And I jumped over a point in my idea-paper! Notes that are pointless. And I mean with that Facebook notes.

You know, those in which you are asked to answer things about yourself. They are usually interesting, but only and only if you really take your time in answering the questions.

I've seen lots of people who just answer like "yeah" to each part. How dull is that to read?

Guess I've embarrassed myself enough for today.

I hope this gave you enough to laugh so that I can take two days off.

Next time's topics will be the teachers' layoff in our upper-secondary, a TV show called Prison Break (exciting!), hiding feelings (about which I had an interesting conversation with a friend) and hopefully the film review of Sixth Sense.

Talk to you then! Have a merry merry Xmas!

Two beuatiful songs today, enjoy :)

A Penny for Your Comment

Okay guys and gals! I've prepared a surprise for you: I'll publish today the review of the movie Sixth Sense!
It'll be last, since I have other stuff to tell you first.

I'm so excited about our first subject! Last night's night church! It was sensational, at least in my opinion.
I went there about an hour before the actual event started, since I was part of the ceremony (not in a religious meaning tho, you'll find out later why, if you don't know already :P)
We watched the music group perform (and the real good singer from the porridge party - read yesterday's blog- was singing again! yay) and practiced our own performance as well.
It goes like this: The church is of the shape of a cross †. There were three groups, one of 4 and two of 3 people. I was in the first group, the one which was placed in front of the altar. The other two groups were placed on the left and the right sides (of the church). Then, a boy in my group shouts "WHO WILL WIN?!" and then our group starts to pursue an imaginary thing we all wanted badly, that desirable object being right above us. The other groups did the same as us. Then, music started silently and we froze. When the music was loud and discordant, we started to do a slow-motion run towards the middle of the church. We had to look angry, since we were competing for something. After we were in place, the cantor made this ... how could I explain it? Geez, played a glissando, and we had to fall to the floor dead! Sounds easy, but we had to stay without moving for about 10 minutes while a priest preached about competition society. Then, after he was done, the cantor started to play a light, happy melody, and we rose gracefully (or not xD) from the floor, helping each other and smiling, and walked to our places. Then the ceremony continued with praying and a song.

I had lots of fun, from the practice (thanks to a new acquaintance I have made in the drama class, she's so much fun to hang out with! :)) to the end.
Also, just before the ceremony was about to start, a really nice old friend of mine came to visit! And guess what? She had baked me some BROWNIES! I love brownies, and I love her, she's really talented at cooking (and everything else!), no matter how modest she tries to be.
After we started to head home, we met with my friends. They gave me xmas gifts, and I gave them the xmas cards I had written them... And then it was goodbye time :( Too bad I won't see them before NY! And I hope they'll keep on wanting to see me after it, since I have something to tell them...
My friend gave me a lift (it was like 20 meters, I laughed at this for a while) to my gran's where I was going to stay over night, since it was so late. Mom was too lazy to pick me up and I have to pay some extra night fee in the bus, even tho I have a monthly card!
Overall, a great great great great night! :) One of the best days ever, truly. Thanks to everybody who made my day, I really love you all <33> (I hate hearts! They totally mess up my HTML code, and then I have to go thru a heluva lot of trouble to fix it, so you better appreciate my hearts! :D)

Let's see what I've planned for today... Ahaa, let's talk about Bejeweled Blitz now!
I was supposed to write about it yesterday, but my blog got too full. I had to postpone it for today!
Blitz is a game in Facebook, but Bejeweled is its own game as well. To not make confusion, I'll tell you that I'm talking about the Facebook version. The one in which you have one minute to score as high as possible.
So let's start.
The point of Blitz is to score as many points possible in the timespan of one minute (repetitive much? xD). One minute is a REALLY short time. And a frustrating one, since it usually takes that one minute to start scoring good, but that's the trick. You need to learn how to be efficient.
I usually start by trying to make either a row of four or five (there's usually at least one of four at the start), and then try to make combos so that I'd get a multiplier. A bolded word, huh? Must be important! And yes it is. Multipliers multiply the score you get. First by two, then by three, and so on. So they're really important, since you want the MAXIMUM possible efficiency in the MINIMUM time possible. So they're helpful. Try to get at least a 2x before moving onto the next stage (but warning: do not leave the next stage completely out of stage 1! You can still score basically always over 100k with the next stage, but without multipliers it's impossible to get to the really elite scores).
'K, stage 2. Making moves efficiently. This means making moves fast. There's no time to think in Blitz, so you need to go mostly with your instinct. And the secret to good scores is to teach your instinct to be fast! If you make consecutive moves fast, you'll start growing a speed bonus. Oh-ouh. Another bolded word. The speed bonus can be up to +1000 points, which is a significant amount. Let alone, making moves fast make your speed bonus timer grow yellow! And when it's completely yellow, you enter to "Blazing speed". This will mean that every move you make will have the same effect as a bomb gem! Blazing speed is usually the phase in which you score big time, so by the time you get there you should have a high multiplier and boom, you'll be the #1 on your list!
You get multiplier gems by making a large cascade or by clearing lots of gems at a time. So you either need luck (cascades) or gem knowledge! If you make a shocking gem (by clearing same color gems as a L or a T) and detonate it, you'll most likely get a multiplier. Likewise, if you make a match of 5, you'll get a cube, which will take all the gems of one color out of the board. This'll guarantee you one multiplier, if you clear the right color, obviously.
Good luck with your blitzing ;)

I thought of talking about Christmas today, but since it's only the 22nd, I'll do my Christmas-special edition tomorrow!

Next on my list I've got a really lovely subject! Childhood friends! We all have them, you know, those with who you used to spend time when you were a little young rascal...
Take real good care of those relationships, cause they're the people who have known you for the longest time!
Of course, people change, and there might be incompatibilities, particularly if there's been a long phase of silence!
Nevertheless, you should try. You won't lose anything, but you may gain a friendship lasting a lifetime!

I'm stupid. Hmm, yeah. I forgot to bring the physics book to my friend, even tho her boyfriend needs it! Dammit I feel like an idiot! One thing that I should remember I forget...
I'm sorry :(
I'm so unreliable, no wonder no one ever trusts me... It's not like I don't try to remember stuff, but it's always the one thing you forget the one thing you should recall.

I saw today in the TV guide a really disturbing "documentary". I'm not going to write what it handles, because it would be too awkward. Go see for yourself. Today, at 10pm. You'll know what program I'm talking about if you compare the shows of the four principal channels :P

Why are games so annoying? My little brother is playing some silly game, and the sounds are annoying. Especially if you try to listen to good music :P
And he won't turn the sounds down... sigh. Guess I'm being a bit selfish, but... sigh.

An extra complaint add. I was planning to end my blog to the annoying game, but now happened something really complaintful!

My fonts messed up *le sigh* I don't know what happened. It probably happened because I pasted a word and it pasted the font of the pasteé word. Then I tried to make it the same as the others, but I couldn't find the font of my blog! In my own blog! Ridiculous! So now I had to copy past the whole text... All my effects disappeared with it, so I spent ten minutes fixing it :D

And more topics rain from clear skies. Should you buy your kids a Nintendo DS Light or a bobsleigh? IMO the answer is pretty obvious! Let them bobsleigh! It's fun, it's done outside... and with all the modern computers and Wiis and televisions and those, why buy yet another device that replaces imagination and reduces creativity?

Mom sold three old cars for 1 grand. I don't know what to think. I'm worried that the cars might be worth more than that, since they're old and stuff. Neither me or my mom know anything about cars, really, but 1 grand for three antique (trash :D) cars ... I don't know... whatever...

And last thing, I promise! (Thanks if you read it all xD)

What I wanted to say is that what we all bloggers love very, very much is... comments! So please, comment comment, if to say nothing more than "I read it"...

It's better than nothing :)

PS. The review tomorrow after all. Sorry :(

White Christmas, I Gave You My Heart

I noticed I have way too many topics to talk about today!

It's great, of course, but also bad, since now I'll have to prune some of them. It all depends on how much text I manage to get out of them.

I shall start angsty. You might want (not) to skip this part if it gets too irritating! ;)

First things first. Most people will see this coming, specially those who are in contact with me the days we receive our exams back.

I hate nine-and-a-halfs. They're just bullhorn in my opinion. I got a 9½ from English, and it went down to 9! I mean, why? I got real good points from the listening comprehension, as well from the essay we had to write about some pointless subject! The teacher said to me that "I'll give you a 9, since I decided only those who get a 10 from the test will get a 10 in the certificate". Fine, I said, but that's not fine now that I think more about it. The test isn't a real proof of anything, you might be a brilliant linguist, and still screw up a test. IMO the teachers should pay attention to not just the grammatical knowledge, but also the test that put the practical knowledge into trial!

The same thing happened to me in another subject as well. I got a 9½ from the test, and even +++ from a small deed we had to complete while the teacher was having a personal time off or some other grievance! But I still got a 9 to my certificate.... boring. And why do I think this happened? Because I didn't raise my hand too much, I admit that, but what about the shy people then? How are they suppose to get good grades? Also, I think the teacher didn't like me too much either. He practically loathes me, for a (not so) unknown reason.

And now, beware your eyes, since this won't be getting any cleaner! Nuh-huh, messier than ever! I have this marked #1 priority on my planning sheet, and I have underlined and emphasized it few dozen of times.

I'll do my first bash right now! I'm talking about a selfish person, one that stares only at their own navel! There was this person I liked, and I find out that the feeling are reciprocal. We talk and I at least personally enjoy it (and got the feeling that the other party was enjoying it as well). We heart (<3333)

I see a change, something is different. It takes me a while to be brave enough to ask what's going on. I get a rude reply: "I don't think we could be anything, at least for now." Okay, thanks. FOR NOW? You don't do that! One more thing You, dear reader, should add to your list of "DON'T"s. Don't break up and say "for now". Breaking up and "for now" don't fit, they don't like each other!

So yeah, we're broken up for more than we were even "kinda dating", and then, boom. Who dares to come and flaunt to me about a new partner. YOU DON'T DO THAT! (Write down: YOU DON'T FLAUNT ABOUT YOUR NEW PARTNER TO YOUR EXS!!!) That another thing you just don't do.

You have to be a total idiot, cretin, half-wit, imbecile, moron and retard to do that! Specially if you're the one who breaks up. SHEESH. Common courtesy anyone?

Let's move onto a little bit more cheerful things. We had a porridge party today at school! The "party" word might deceive, since it was a PAARTY party, just a "Christmas celebration ceremony" party. It started pretty lame, we had to sing along some stupid and worn out xmas songs (I like singing, just the worn out part bothers me :P) but then, a girl sang a solo! And oh God it was a good solo. I would buy her CD, if she had one! She had a really nice voice, clear, in pitch and with a personal vibe. The fact that she harmonized herself with a guitar while singing is another thing that deserves merit! Not everyone can do that AND give a heluva good concert!

Another funny thing at the part were these interval jokes that the presenters told us. They were soooo lame that I won't try to translate them (they'd lose the funny touch if I did that, anyway). They were really, really lame, believe me. A bit like this one: A dyslexic man walked into a bra. Haha. But worse. We only laughed at how suckish the jokes were >:D

And the last thing worth mentioning was the teacher's performance! It was funny and weird. One teacher was the host of a gala... And she introduced us to Tina Turner, The 69 Eyes, Luciano Pavarotti, Robbie Williams, a Finnish weirdo band and the lead role singer of the Swedish musical "Play Me". But, the twist was that all of these artists were actually teachers in disguise (lol. who would have known?). Overall the party was a success: I liked the mood, no one was too serious, I'd say, if I'd have to take a guess.

Should we move into the random thoughts section? Think so.

I'll go my list down in order. Don't mind the chaos, it's just a small look to what goes inside my head.

I've written

Bejeweled Blitz

Addicting game, for sure. Makes me a perfectionist. It digs deep into my soul and grabs even the smallest bits of self-esteem and rips them into pieces. Which I hate, but I can't fight it, I'm too weak. My original plan was to write a bit longer about it, but I guess that'll be for tomorrow. This is getting too long already :P

Last night's movie!

Yey! It's called Sixth Sense, and it's about a boy who "sees dead people *le gasp*" I liked it, a longer and a bit more in-depth analyze of it coming soon. Maybe tomorrow.

*Insert friend's name here*

Yeah, I pretty much did a surprise visit to friend (meaning that I only sent a txt asking if she was home) and gave her the late birthday gift! We talked a bit, I had fun in her facebook and then I left!

Driving lessons

I'm so excited behest my friend! She's having her first driving lesson today. We joked about her driving into a trench, but we doubted they'll let her drive in her first class :)

I hope she's not stressing too much, I bet she'll do juuuuust fine ;) Actually, she's back and writing HER blog, I guess I'll get to read more details about it in a while!

Crappy internet

Which basically means I'm losing my connection ever ten minutes! I don't know whyyyy! What's happening? Is the world really going to end now??

Night Church

From this one you'll definitely hear more tomorrow! We're having a night church to celebrate Christmas, and I'm going to perform there along our drama class! I'm a bit nervous, but excited! I hope everything goes as planned. I'll report more tomorrow!

Blog=project work

This equation me likes! :D

Cause my teacher accepted the blog as my English portfolio project! This is great! I'll get to rant about politics, the society and share my philosophical thoughts (don't think all I can do is attack and trash people! :P)

And last, but not least. Came to my mind a moment ago... Blah, how would I remember, but something else popped in to replace it.

We had our dance of the olds rehearsal today!

Dang I hate how the teachers rearranged us! Had a hard time focusing from that on ;))

Ohhh! Now I remember! We watched a really sweet movie at our English class. And I have a great quote from that movie to end my blog (almost wrote blood).

"What could be worse than the total agony of being in love?"

CASH FOR FREE XMAS!

Are you in a financial crisis? Do you need urgently money to buy xmas presents?

No worries, we'll show you a way to get you cash just in time. Just stay with us till the end!

I'd like to bring up an... well, an idea I heard about yesterday. It's called the "r u okay" day.

It's simple, suicide is the biggest killer of 13-24 aged youngsters. And why does this happen? Because they don't have anyone to talk to. We are always so busy, and when we ask "how are you", we don't expect to hear how that person really is. We are just being polite.

The point is to get everyone to have someone to talk to. You could save a life :)

And it's simple, just ask how your friends really are and be there if they want to open up!

The next thing, doesn't really go side to side with the "r u okay" day theme, we'll talk about is money.

There's no way to deny it: money is a big part of all of our lives. Without money you can't do anything. Which is a shame, really.

Not only that, but money is (I almost wrote is becoming, shame on me!) a status symbol. Those who have money brag about it, and those who don't, would kill for it.

I admit that there are always things I want to buy... a pretty shirt, a cool CD, that cool camera and the iPod Touch Ultra with 459Gb of memory!

However, I need to prioritize. My school books take out the first two, my monthly bus card takes out the third and the food I need for my long days takes out the fourth.

At this precise moment, I don't have money to buy xmas presents for my friends, and I have few birthday presents in line waiting.

I need a job, but where can I find one? With all the recession going on, who would take a stupid teenager to work for them? Maybe I should still try, you never know.

Now to other annoying things! You know when someone says "Hey, you know what...? There's this.. *giggle* never mind."

Lemme just say something. Feckers you :D Cause that's just so annoying that it makes me pull my hair! You don't do that! Never, ever! That's like saying to someone they won the lottery, and then telling that the jackpot was ten euro. Not fair.

Grrr. Annoying.

But then, there's always things that make you cheer up. For example (this is a true story :P) the following: I'm sitting in my facebook, doing nothing in special, when suddenly, and old friend of mine talks to me. He says, "Wanna go steady? I've decided to be gay." At this point I stare at the monitor in amusement. He goes on, "Really, I'm serious. I've been thinking that you're the best option." At this point I burst into laughs. Well that was random. Too random and too funny to even be miffed, these kind of things don't happen very often xD

In other words, surprises make your day!

Alright, a friend of mine came to me after I had published the first blog, asking if I meant her in a part of it.

I couldn't recall, but she was sure it was about her. I denied, since it was personal-crap-release-your-thoughts -kind of thing.

Soooo, let's talk about her now! Muahhahahaaa! Let's see, where to start...

We were to a trip together, she and some other girls (and one boy! that made two of us :( ) and we had a lot of fun, and some of us grew feelings into people that were left behind.

I didn't know about this until yesterday, but she had hinted it to me (but I'm a dumb-ass, how can I understand?)

Anyway, besides the point, now she's talking to this OTHER boy... She insisted to me for a long long time that they were just friends, and that she didn't have feelings for him, but then she began telling me how they spoke for hours. I guess that made the bells ring for her: she was falling! Oh no!

And then onto the next phase: unbelief! After denial comes unbelief, how ironic...

Enough about her. I doubt that anyone will come to me saying I wrote about them in my blog anymore, what a pity :D

The final topic is looming! Disappointments.

There are various kinds of these. Bigger, smaller, short, long... But what makes them all the same is how we react to them. There's almost no way to hide disappointment, it shows in our body language, in our facial expressions and voice tone.

What makes it even more frustrating is that it might take a long time to recover. Even short disappointments can last for months, let alone the long ones.

How do we get... disappointed? It can be something someone said, it can be something that someone did or even something you saw! Now, I've had a long long loving relationship with disappointments, and I've decided to sort 'em out.

The ones you see hurt the most at that precise moment. The ones you hear tear you apart inside for the longest time, and the ones that are done are perhaps the smallest, since you probably saw (heard) them coming.

And how to get up and start crawling towards safe and sound? Doing everyday things, having friends around. You grow a bit stronger with disappointments, but no one likes too much of 'em.

And forthwith to random last words. I had a funny conversation with a fan of my blog yesterday (you know who you are, biggest fan EVAH) and one thing led to another.... so I promised her I'll make the CD review of Lady Gaga!

Today, the normal daily paper came with a funny piece of brain exercise! Rebuses! Rebuses about countries and cities! They were soooo much fun to try and figure out. I spent various hours on it, and still missing some. The only bad side is that I'd need to know "famous" people and "famous" icons, of which I lack knowledge.

I miss my family :( We won't be together for Christmas, since they're abroad! Miss you sis and dad, if you read this :(

I like glogg! I like cake and pancakes. I like chocolate cakes! I loved candy. I'd kill for a semla or two!

Let's explain ourselves and our title! YOU DON'T NEED CASH FOR A FREE XMAS! Hahaa, I was devious and fooled you with my incredible knowledge of English and presuppositions! Ha.

But if you really want cash really fast.... dream on :)

Logarithmic Rhythms

I'll start today by saying that my blog caused an uncalled for mess yesterday night.

Why did the drama happen after I had written my blog? Had to wait one whole day to write about it!

I mean, write that we had a quarrel, not explain it. But it's all solved, and hopefully there won't be any more of those, at least for this year ;)

Now, why not let you know what I've done today?

To my abashment, I did all of the logarithm exercises. THIRTY-ONE of them! I don't know how my head was able to take it, but I kinda got disappointed since there wasn't more to do.

I also did the blood circulation handout (with colors and all :)) and started to finish my Finnish assignment about bees and flowers :P

Unluckily, I had one stumbling block on my way. Physics. I did the exercises the teacher had written on the paper, but I wanted to do more (don't blame me, there were like only four) so I went and did some of the ones the book's previous owner had circled. The first one went alright, but the second was flaky! Two boats met and then one went to the southwest while the other went south. I had to count how far the two boats were from each other after 25mins!

I thought I was doing okay, but then I get 8,9km as an answer, and everything is screwed up.

That's how I've done it. I have no idea whether it's wrong or right, but it feels right.

I hate when something like this happens, since who can I ask for help? No one in my vicinity knows physics. If someone knows what I'm doing wrong, please let me know ;)

I've also tried to solve it by calculating the angle from which the boats leave, and using the hypotenuse and the opposite cathetus. I got the same damn 8,9km.

But let's leave physics behind now.

Thanks for a friend for disturbing my thoughts. I can't recall anything of what I wanted to write now!

I'll have to start from scratch now, yay.

Oh, don't know if this was my in my original plan, but I thought of doing an album review!

And a movie one as well, if I get to see any worth bashing or complementing ;)

The CD commentary will be either on Paramore's Bran New Eyes, or Lady Gaga's Fame Monster! Haven't decided yet. Paramore would be a bit more work, since it has a few more songs, guess I'll decide that when time comes.

Another succulent topic would be intentions.

What goes around the head of the person(s) you're interested in? Or even your friends? Family?

Why is it so hard to have the slightest idea of whether the person just wants to be friends, just wants to annoy you, or wants to have something more?

How do you tell when someone's interested? You may think that the signs are pointing directly to the direction of go for it, but if you do, you might find yourself with no feelings left to emit.

From what can you tell when you're annoying someone? I mean, we are all so different; something funny could be something really annoying to someone else. I try not to piss off people, but I can't be on my guard all the time either. I used to, for three years I had to carry the heavy armor I nowadays usually just keep nearby, so I'm not really eager to use it too much.

Why is it so hard for other people to read my intentions? :) Am I too complicated, do I think too convolutedly?

I feel like continuing! What else, what else? Oh HELL YEAH!

I almost forgot the thing I wanted to show yall! Well, if there is anyone out there ;)

Sometimes I like to spend (waste) my time on YouTube. It's very recreational. You can feel the minutes turning into hours, fast! One of my favorite discoveries was this ... brilliant, imaginative, spectacular, huge and inconceivable display of creativity and originality!

I think you guessed already what I'm talking about (if you've seen it before): Charlie the Unicorn!

Have fun, see you tomorrow :)

[ Scroll down for Charlie!! :))) ]

Faster Than the Speed of Light

Today's been a very different day, in terms of choice and other people's choice (well well, isn't it always?)

It wasn't obvious, the fact that the days was going to be different, since it started pretty normal. I went to school, we had our Finnish classes (we had a music quiz, which we failed :D) and the next recess I went to get my independent course's exercises.

The teacher gave me a small piece of paper with the chapters I have to read and the exercises I have to complete on christmas holidays! How fun ;)

Then like in the middle of the second class, social studies, Santa came to visit us with his madam and his elves! We (mostly I :P) sung for him, and then his little helpers gave us (me! :D) some (one small chocolate) candy (which I didn't eat ;))

A funny thing is, that he teacher had offered us some candy just before they came in! Some of us ate more than the others *whistles*

I like social studies class, since we usually talk about interesting stuff. And it's always more than just writing, my wrist likes. We can talk about stuff pretty freely, share our opinions and stuff.

While we were having our meal, we were talking about what to eat and make for NY. I guess we didn't decide yet. I got angry from getting hit, since I hate being hit. Pfft.

I calmed down in maths I guess, my friend has that kind of influence on me. With her indecent comments and way of thinking (not that I'm not similar, and I never said it's a bad thing xD).

And maths, god, we're having logarithms, and I hate them already. And I can't afford to hate them, so I'll try to understand them this weekend!

After maths only biology to go. Our usual teacher wasn't there, so our principal was substituting her. Hearts and circulation of blood, how can it get any more interesting? ;)

What happened after I went to my gran's (I go there to eat! nomnomnom and keep her company <3)>

That is I didn't go to the gym right after school, but I ate! And if you eat, you don't sport, so I had to do physics till about 5pm. Then I managed to get out in the cold for the five minutes it took me to walk to the gym.

When I was done, I noticed there wasn't going to go a bus home before 19:25, so I took the 18:40 and walked home from business center. It's about a km or two, which is not bad at all. I wasn't feeling cold either, until the last few ten meters :P

And that's it. I don't know why I told all this, since it's irrevelant and boring. Guess I still have my commentary topics to bring up (like if anyone commented anyway, except You, you know who You are!!, but why not try? :P)

Let's first go with.. friendship? Hmm, cliché, isn't it?

Let's not. Since I remembered a better subject, which occurred to me ... at some point of my intriguing day!

I'm thinking of making this my English project work! What could be more... modern, influential and well, interesting?

Since I'm already publishing these, it wouldn't be a problem presenting it in front of the class.

If I'd write a novel (which I've started already, but I start a lots of things and never finish them), I'd have to talk about it. And talking about my writings is just something I don't like to do. Specially in front of people who could not care less ;)

If I decide to do this as my project, it would mean I'd have to take stance on other things than just my days. Maybe something like ... politics (ugh), philosophical stuff (gah) or science (ack).

Guess a bad workman blames his tools!

Which makes a very (good) awkward transition to our next topic: proverbs!

They're fun to read and fun to find new and apt ones.

Some can be funny (Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!), others really incisive (If something can go wrong, it will).

I hope that wasn't too pessimistic for an ending!

PS. I know of the excessive use of parenthesis, but I seem to need them! So shush.

Hard Start

Well, a friend of mine started blogging 53 days ago (yeah, I really did count the days), so I thought, "hey, why not try it too?"

I've got nothing planned for today, everything's coming directly from my (tiny) head. Let's see what comes out of this.

I'd like to start by telling how my vacation has been ruined. By nothing less than physics! And by no one else's choice than mine.

Long story short: I need physics to enter med school, and I was stupid enough to not take the classes. So today I went to speak to our student councellor, and we decided it was best for me to do the fourth (Laws of Movement or something :P) course on my own, independently! And how comes, our third episode at school started like two weeks ago. I'm in a big hurry if I want to actually learn something about the Great Movements.

Another weird thing I'd like to bring up is our student "government" elections that took place today at our school.

There were ten candidates in the elections: one from the third grade, two from the second, and seven from the first!

I was so disappointed about this. How comes only two from our year stood up for this position? There was actually a third, but she was appointed by a teacher, so when the candidates were presenting themselves, she said she rejected her nomination. So there we are, reduced to two.

Not that it didn't cross my mind to step forward, but I'm just being realistic (and maybe hypocritical at the same time). Why am I whining about no one willing to be a candidate, if I myself wasn't interested?

Well, I can't say I'm popular at school, and I doubt anyone would've voted for me. Maybe only two or three friends. I bet some of them would've voted secretly for someone else, and then say "Of COURSE we voted for you, Niilo!!!"

No reason to fool myself.

Okay, almost done. I'd just like to talk about one more topic. If you want, you can comment on this, and I'd love if you commented on anything or everything I write (YES, COMMENT, PLEASE! PLZZZ :D).

Why is it so hard to live with a crush/love? Is it so hard to understand the circumstances and let go? Or just, forget? Is it possible to forget?

And how comes that whenever you feel like you're getting over it, you find yourself caught in the same pithole? It's like... trying to run when you're stuck in quicksand. The harder you try, the deeper in it you get.

And getting additional associations, like when someone says "car" and you immediately think of the prohibited, ain't helping the "letting go"- part. "Car", or "dog", or "stool" or "turkey" or "sandcastle".... It doesn't have to be a rational association, it can be totally absurd.

And ehm, that's it for today.

I haven't decided whether I'll blog every day (like my friend, if she lets me, I'll mention her name next time) or once every now and then. I feel like I'd just stare at the keyboard one of these days, without nothing to say, if I start writing every twenty-four-hours!

We'll see what happens.

See you later alligator!
