From somewhere I got a boost of energy and thanks to that I've been scannincg some of my drawings. They'll all be up at deviantart, but one I wanted to share only with you folks. It's an oldish self-portrait of mine:
( here )

Life is relatively good again. I'm eating some amazing chicken-garlic-potato takeaway, listening to Queen, I've been reading some good stuff, writing some good stuff and other.

There was also this:

Roger Waters gets older today! (I know, I know...)

The gong. It is epic for us PF fans.



Guess what I'd like to own?
A gasmask.

Also, that specific kind of leather jacket.


Dare you laugh at my Paint skillz?

So. You know, school's out. (Oh I haven't even listened that song today *in shame puts it on*).

I woke up kinda earlyish today. I was really nervous, 'cause, you know, I performed in the [shortcut] school-ends-ceremony-show-thingy today.
After the 'ceremony' (is there a good word for this?) we got our [what the shit's wrong with me today?] . . . grade-papers. I did quite well, but there still is some things I want to do better next year.

After that I went to eat with dad and the lot, and after that I got home, and we kinda hosted my cousins graduation (or whatever) party, but as people started to pour in I got really, like, not nervous nor anxious [why in the name of good lord do these words escape me today?] but, _____. So I just slept through the whole party (meaning I won't be sleeping now. But that doesn't matter, cause I'm on summer holiday).

I'm also kinda rich.

// Continuing on Sunday afternoon.
So the internet was temporarily down yesterday and I'll post this post now.

I've been drawing again. It's all because of that INTJforum and that one topic there.

Hey guess who I've been listening to? Yeah, Bob Dylan! He's got some good songs. And I've been listening to some Iron Maiden too. Trying to broaden (widen?) my music taste.


When I got into western music (after my two-three years of worshipping Gackt) it was really strange to find that the musicians looked like shit. I mean, after years of that Japanese visual kei prettiness western musicians looked terrible. I remember flipping through a Queen booklet, thinking, 'ewh, how can they look like that?'.
To this day I only find three of our 60s-70s rock musicians attractive, and they all look strange too (Them being Jimmy Page, Bob Dylan and David Bowie). No, make that four. Brian May was pretty too.

I would embed a great video here if I had the energy to do so. In stead I'll tell you about it. It's quite well-known (I think..) It's got that Monty Python's Knights of the Round Table music and video clips of The Star Trek original series, and it's absolutely genius, believe me.


So I got a lot of money right now. And I haven't got a single idea what to buy. I suppose I'll end up getting some books and CDs, but it'd be nice to spend it on something bigger for once.

Yeah. I'm at my grandparen't now. Thank god they have a new computer. It'll be Midsummer in no time. 

But blah. I spent the last Midsummer here too. I had an option this time though: I could've gone with my cousins to their 'cottage'.
 But I didn't want to do that, because after this I'm going to my other granparents with them. And then we'll go to Poland with them, and I'm pretty exited about that, as we'll go and see Auswitchz concertration camp (it written like that?). And what's even better (well I think so anyway) is that next year in school (me being an eight-grader now *proud*) in History we'll come to the 1900s and the second world war.

I've been drawing. You know, this is that sorta place you can't do much in. Or, you could do lots of stuff, but I'm not that sort of do-er person, if you take my meaning.
So I've been drawing for the first time in ages this week. And yes, I can still draw, it hasn't gone anywhere.
And  of course I've been reading. Still in the middle of hte Lord of the Rings, though I am in the latter half of the Fellowship of the Ring.

As I packed to come here the first thing to take with me was CDs. I cant remember how many, um, must've been seven, yeah, 7 albums I took with me, two of them double albums. And I took three books too, so that I won't be bored.

And darling people, do forgive me my typos, this is a strangeish computer to me (Winows vista and all, I'm used to the old and safe 2000) and this keyboard is destined to typo a lot.
I'll be coming back.

Yesterday I didn't have school, but I cleaned up our home. 
At some point my cousin came to us and we went shopping.
If you'd ask me, I might say that  she's the best co. shopper (or whowever you say it) I've ever been shopping with. (And someone said you shouldn't repeat yourself. shopiingshoppingshopping)

I bought a David Bowie badge and some ice cream and chocolate (maybe the best chocolate I've ever tasted. it was expensive. a small, maybe 45 g bar (are they called bars? no, they can't be. the larger ones are bars, but how about the smaller ones? what are they?) costed 2,2 euros.) and my cousin bought me a coffee.

After coming back we went directly to my cousins' and we watched PotCIII:AtWorld'sEnd in there.



I dunno ifi've told about it already, but even if I have, I'll tell again. So. It's my first-ever proper comic. I finished it today (I was so bored, and I should ahave been doing the dished but instead I just sat in my room). 
I started it  some time ago, then didn't work on it for a (longish) while, but now ot's finished.
The comic's got four pages (A5) and prelogue, drawn in my biology workbook.  


We've thought about the next cosplays, me an' my friend. The next Animecon'll be in Tampere and me and T. are going to cosplay again. this time I'll sew everything by myself.

At first we thought about cosplaying the main guys of D.N.Angel, but then we came to a conclusion: the cos' pretty much rely on the hair, so it'd be kinda difficult.
Then we thought 'bout Pretear and one of the leaf knights.
So now we've decided that we'll cosplay Kamichama Karin's Karin and Kazune, but we don't know yet who'll be who. Last time T was the girlish one and it'd kinda be my turn now, but yeh. It's big and pink and fluffy. In real life I never wear skirts or dresses (except for some parties and stuff like that) but yeh. It certainly is nice to  wear something pink and girly from time to time. And it's absolutely no problem if T. wants to be Karin(the girly one).

This year we cosplayed two characters from Tsubasa, a series bought by me, last year the series was Digi Charat, T's series, and now it's time to cosplay wharaters from some T's manga again.

I think Karin and Kazune (the latter particularly)are kinda hard to create, because both are very flowy and airy.a

I spent this weekend at dad's again. My cousins and theri family came over on Saturday. I had to go to school too, but it wasw fun actually, we had only three classes of art, so...

All night i have been scanning my drawings. My dad gave me a scanner, you see. If I can I'll put up some of the drawings. 


//Edit

Lauri Tähkä and Elonkerjuu have released a new album. It's actually quite good. Some of the songs are better than others, for example Pauhaava Sydän, Susipihan portille and Tehtaankatu.


An oldish Elonkerjuu fanart. I didn't know how the other arm should be so it ended up a little silly.

 I have started drawing a sort of dojinshi, not about some manga characters, but of real people. To be more precise, John Lennon and P. McCartney. And I think I will have Yoko Ono in there too.

My best friend said, after reading the first page, that it was funny. And that is something really valuable to be heard from her, at least to me. Maybe not rare, but ... blah. Something.

I watched The Lion King today with one of my cousins. Wonderful to see a childhood classic now.

We'll leave tomorrow! 

And when I get home I'll be able to put up the Animeconpics and tell what it was like.

And Yeah! Guess what? I got a new mp3 player. I'm so happy! It's some strange brand (?) called Denver. It doesn't work with this computer, so I'll have to borrow my mom's. She's got a Creative's player.


I just don't understand it. When it's 'to' and when 'on' and when 'in' and those.

I've been drawing like mad in here. It's because I'd get bored out of my mind if I didn't draw. Something 'round 60 A4s. I ususlly don't draw that much. 
My aunt and (at least) one of my cousins say that they feel sorry for my classmates-to-be. I'll be moving to a new school like everyone after the first six years of schooling. Dunno what is't called, is it junior-high (no it can't be..) or secondary or what. However, I'll be in a arts-centered (or sumthin'  like that) class. 
There were entrace exams. I don't want to sound cocky (// Oh yeah?) but I think I maybe was one of the best drawiers in there. 
And sometimes my cousin says she pities the people who will be in my class, 'cause I'll be the best drawer ever.
 
I myself don't know what to think, I don't want to be 'the best drawer who is great and everyone thinks she rules' becasue if that happened I swear there'll be people who'd be jealous and nasty to me. And I want to be liked, at least the people I like (those who annoy and are stupid don't matter). 
On the other hand I want to be the best drawer in the class, because drawing/arts (and english) have always been something I know I'm the best in. Now if suddenly I'm not I would feel really down.
(Well yeah I'm the kind of person who wants always be the best in everything, exept for the things I know I will not. That's why I don't usually play games. I hate losing and feeling that someone is better than me.) But hey, show some compassion, will ya?

I've also been reading in here. An interesting book about people who've been abducted into UFOs.

Last night, I was reading Harry Potter. (Nothing extraordinary 'bout that.) 
But then I thouhgt I saw something flying in my room. It seemed really big (meaning here something 'round 2 inches). I left my room and went to sleep on the sofa in our livingroom. It's just... I'm scared to go to my room. I can't get my trousers. *nervous laugh* And... I think it might have grown (like the size of a big dog) and now it's making weird noises. (Well the noises can be explained. The window in my room is open and the wind (or whatever it is) is moving the door and it's hitting its frames.)

I thought about putting up the Mucha-like picture I drew yesterday, but my shitty camera ran out of batteries again.  Well I'll edit to this post when the batteries are recharged.
