hahaha, oh I'm laughing already, but I've been thinking of making this post for a few days and it won't leave me, so I have to. here it is. ok, my new favorite tv show?

LEGEND OF THE SEEKER!



please someone be watching it? I need someone to go nuts with! I don't think I've seen any LotS posts on my friends page so I'm afraid I might be alone in this, but if you don't know about the show, now let me tell you!

( cut if you really couldn't care less )

alright, I think I'm done, I just had to get that off my chest because I watched the first season in about 4 days, which obviously turned my brain into mush, and... yeah.

in other news, there aren't many! the masquerade ball was kinda boring although it was so much fun getting dressed up and stuff. there were way too few people there! my muscles hurt really bad because yesterday we had some great dance classes, and I think I'll skip some tomorrow. ow.

happy thanksgiving my friends who celebrate it! I think there's a dinner at the school tomorrow but I'm not going since no friends are going either.

just waiting for the next LotS episode here... help!

oh cripes how fast time goes! and I just keep updating less and less. it makes me sad! but I just keep postponing it like it's a task or something although I think it would be good for me to post stuff every now and then because somehow I feel like "why bother" but why not? I think it is fun to update every now and then and ok, that's that. I will try. if I don't manage to do it until new year's, it will be my new year's resolution!

• school has been so boring I never could've imagined. I was supposed to start my thesis but there were no good groups so I'm just waiting for spring for my group to start. snore.

• I had my annual halloween party! it was loads of fun and I took photos but I'll be happy if I manage to get them on facebook one day. haha, argh.

• we got the first snow of the season on monday! I LOVE IT. it got warmer immediately, of course, and now it's all wet but I've been listening to christmas songs already. very fitting though, I always get over autumn on halloween and now we got snow immediately after so I started feeling christmasy.

• I've been rewatching my so-called life. anyone remember the show? haha, I love it. it's so 90's and it's not bad! makes me feel old, though, claire danes is 15 in it and I was about 8.

• I haven't seen any new good movies in ages! anyone have any recs? they don't have to be new movies, just new to me. although you can't know all the movies I've seen, but if you have anything in mind, tell me! just watched the brothers bloom today, and it was okay. not too awesome and not too bad. it was fun and pretty but the storyline was jumpy and awkward.

we're having a masquerade ball at school next saturday! I am ridiculously excited, it has been my dream for ages to go to one because I own some lovely masks and the idea is so great. can't wait! hopefully I'll manage to get some photos of that as well!

I'm at school and I have 50 minutes to kill before I meet a friend for lunch so what else should I do than surf? I do have a book with me.

so... I've been sick for a week. I was exhausted before it hit me though so I saw it coming but it really did hit me fast and I couldn't prevent it at all. on monday evening my throat felt funny and tuesday evening a fever rose and on wednesday I had a slight fever all day. but it also went away as quickly as it went! it hasn't been a whole week and I'm totally fine except for the occasional need to blow my nose. thank you, body. I want to believe it is because I dance so much. and it wasn't the swine flu, haha.

holy crap my right eye is dry, stupid contacts. I don't get it. this hasn't happened to me before, it started after the contacts got upgraded to supposedly a better material. I guess not. I can't frakking wait to get my new glasses! I'm so glad I finally managed to go to an eye doctor and get a new prescription! AND what's better, the vision in my left eye had gotten slightly better! yessss. then I can use contacts a bit less, although I do love being eyeglassless. I've had them since I was 4 so I don't feel any need to use them, haha. it has been so different without them for a few years now. but my eyes really don't like the contacts.

hmm, I went to 2 auditions for formation groups like the one I was in last season. didn't get into either. boo. but I wasn't really burning to get in, so I wasn't even sad really when I didn't get it. the only thing about it would have been that it pushes you a bit more to work harder and learn more, so now I'm afraid that even though I'm in that dance program, I won't develop as much as I did last season. and I didn't get in because I was bad or anything, so knowing that makes me feel better about it, too.

being sick actually wasn't so bad either because I had an amazing weekend with a few friends. the weather has been so beautiful, warm and sunny for a fall, that I just want to do nothing else than go outside. but we watched a few movies and talked until almost 2am and it was fabulous!

after lunch I'm off to an info class about studying abroad in the US and canada! I can't go next fall yet, because there weren't any good thesis groups this fall and I start in the spring, so I continue in the fall. but I could possibly consider spring or fall 2011. god that's far away. oh well, you have to plan ahead!

thanks everyone for the input on the laptop problem! I haven't really still decided hahah, but I think I might be waiting for a vaio with windows 7 now, hmm. they're already selling some computers with a free update for windows 7 when it comes.

I can't believe I'm 23 already, it feels pretty weird. only 2 years until I'm 25, and that feels like A LOT. yikes! didn't do anything special for my bday, I had dance class and have been too wiped out because of practice starting and so mom made me a delicious cheesecake and we watched some bad movie, hee.

my back hurts like a mofo but I have been dancing in ways I wasn't sure I could dance, and it makes me elated. last week I felt like I danced like I wished I would someday dance when I started out. I'm slowly regaining some strength after the summer and it feels gooood. I wish I was able to keep it up during the summer but I just become lazy the minute we're done with classes. it's just such a pain to get back into training 10hrs a week when you have maybe trained one hour a week during the summer! gaaayhhhh. OW.

so, school starts next monday and I am completely undecided about my courses and so on, blah. I'm excited to go back to school but every damn course is at the same time so I can't take nearly half of the ones I want. bite me, university.

but the weather is pretty and warm and I'm heading out after breakfast so yay!

so, I have a huge dilemma. and I think you guys could help me out with the knowledge you have, at least a bit. I've finally decided I want a laptop and since my dad has been willing to buy one for years, I think I'll go for it. problem, of course? what kind of laptop to get?!?!

ok, here's some citeria:
- a small one, like 13/14 inches
- lots of HD space!
- pretty!

hahaha ok that's not so much I guess. so my 2 choices kind of are:
- macbook pro (13.3", 160/250GB)
- sony vaio CS (14.1", 320GB)

they're about the same price and have about the same features, but there are some problems, too. I'm such a PC windows user, that although I know how to use a mac I'm still iffy about not every program being compatible with a mac and stuff. BUT, I have windows XP and I reaaallly don't want a vista, because it seems to suck. the new windows 7 is coming but who knows what a piece of crap it will be (hopefully not). the only game I pretty much might play is sims, though.

so, the mac has a better battery life, its OS is kind of better and it doesn't die as fast, but it has less HD space and I'm just not sure I want it. then, the sony is prettier (hahaha sorry), is cheaper compared to the mac, and feels like a better choice intuitively.

but I don't know. should I wait for windows 7? should I get a mac? I know some of you have macs and laptops and windows vista, so... any ideas? ANY input would be appreciated! thank you!!

also: OMG I'm in love with the big bang theory! why am I so behind and no one told me of its awesomeness?!

I haven't update in two months or something? hahah I'm so useless. I guess my life is just that boring. oh well. so what have I been up to? I'll make a list.

1. caught up with grey's anatomy, and it started getting interesting again. doctor owen hunt, please check me out anytime. gawd.

2. SYTYCD is pretty amazing this season and next season is already looking good too. mia michaels and sara bareilles' gravity? nnnngh.

3. I got a crush on a guy I met at a party and we haven't met since but... I still have the lilac he twisted in my zipper right before I biked home.

4. I got accepted into a dance education program at our dance school, and although the teaching isn't that much more, we should get all kinds of gigs and stuff, we'll be performing! interesting.

5. been watching lots and lots of movies and reading some books. the hangover was pretty hilarious. and 2001: a space odyssey bored me to tears, meaning it forced me to fastforward. I can see how it was amazing in the 60's, though, but I felt like kubrick was just really high when he made it.

6. I fell in love with matthew goode because of chasing liberty. I mean come on. wtf? I'd seen him in match point, miss marple, watchmen and brideshead revisited and none of those worked? I don't know, my brain is obviously still on a teenager level or something.

7. summer comes and goes but I've maintained a steady tan. success!

8. time is also going way too fast, I can't believe it's july already! argh. had a great midsummer, too, with a couple of friends and dancing and good food and stuff.

ok I think I'm done for now. just wanted to let you know I'm still here everyday! I do comment every now and then but it seems I suck at writing posts of any kind. I have some kinda problem with expressing my thoughts in writing, I always hold myself back or block myself somehow, it's weird.

oh and two questions:

1. anyone have an invite to spotify? I just caaaaan't for the life on me find one!

2. anyone else on goodreads? add me if you're there! or join if you like it!

I think I posted about getting in the adults formation dance group in the fall. so the competition was this weekend! I was too preoccupied to post about it. :D but it was fun! it was in a nother city, tampere. it takes about 2 hrs to drive there. so one girls from our group was driving there and took me and another girl with.

we just watched the competition on saturday but today we had our formation! it's like the "most important" category in the competition because there can be up to 24 people and it can look very poweful when there are so many people. our group had 24. there's this one group called team F that has won the category for the past 5 years, so we really weren't expecting to win and that's all good. we just wanted to be good! there were 20 groups all in all competing in our category.

aaargh it was horrible. the judges give their points by raising these cards, numbers to indicate what place they would put the group in, and there were so many 2s and 3s and 4s we had no idea if we'd get a medal or not!! then we had to wait a bit for the awards ceremony.

AND YAAAAYYY WE CAME IN THIRD!!! WE WON BRONZE! I am soo happyyyy. this was my first competition and I already got a medal, some people never do. but our coreographer is brilliant, he won like 3 golds and other stuff with his coreographies there during the weekend.

now I feel slightly empty though, I have nothing to look forward to like that. but it was a bit stressful as well so I'm also glad it's over. and we still have our dance school spring recital where I have 6 or 7 routines. that's fun and less stressful especially after that. I was horribly nervous on the first round but the finals were so easy it was fun! :D

now I need lots of sleep, goodness. and I am so sore it's not funny, hopefully I'll be better tomorrow. *dances away*

I dunno what's the thing with this thing, but I thought since so many people have gotten a DW account, I would, too. thanks so much to the lovely jesouhaite47 for the invite! I'm not leaving LJ, and I'm not sure I'll even use the DW journal, but I thought I'd reserve a username just in case.

I changed my username over there to childlike, and I've actually been thinking about changing my LJ to the same name for a long time, but I'm not sure. anyways, anyone else over there I didn't add yet?

too much schoolwork, argghhh.

oh boo I must say I do miss my icons a little bit. but I update LJ so rarely I guess I don't really need them, do I? hee. I'll live.

so, happy april! and very belated easter!

me and mom went on a cruise to stockholm last weekend, we got onboard friday afternoon, spent saturday in stockholm and were back sunday morning. I think it had been around 7 or 8 years since my last time on a ship. so I was actually pretty nervous, but it was lots of fun.

( have a few pretty boring photos ;) )

soo that was that, and now I have a weird-feeling throat and I am terrified. I CANNOT get sick, today I managed to score a pair of black micros and new dance shorts and I wanna put them to use tomorrow.

I have way too much to study and read for my upcoming exams in a few week and I am terrified of that also. the sun has been shining a lot but it's still cold as hell so I need to remember to bundle up! no time for spring clothing yet! argh. :D

and I am around although I update so rarely, I keep reading my f-list all the time, I'm just a terrible commenter as well. lost is pretty awesome lately, and the office, and I've been watching movies and managing to read some more books, too. I didn't like life of pi at all, but I loved neil gaiman's the graveyard book. <3

( spoilers for Daybreak )

not much else going on, I finished reading the blind assassin by margaret atwood for school and that is one hell of a book. so good. read it, please. next up is life of pi.

I had to say goodbye to my paid LJ account time and icons but I guess I really don't need them so... I'll just have to have the heart to delete all those icons so I can use some different ones.

and I'm IN LOVE with this song. at times it turns me on and others it makes me scared. go figure. but just... kjfakshdaosidkowkls.

time flies wayyyy too fast, I'm going to panic soon! all I do is dance, study, read, school, a few movies, tv, dance, read... I need a trip!

I had this week off school, it's called a reading week, so it's not really supposed to be spring break, but we do take it like that. but I don't feel like I had a week off! sucks balls.

the friday before last I had a friend sleep over and at 3.30am we drove to the city to see the confessions of a shopaholic (only for you, hugh dancy) because the theater was having a 10 year birthday! and it cost 1 euro! that was lots of fun, and it didn't even screw up my sleeping schedule.

today I went to see a friend perform in a medical school student play, which was soo funny. they're always comic and the audience can request a replay of any scene or line and there's dance and music numbers. love them. I'd also like to see the helsinki school of technology student play but I'm running out of moneyyss.

I wasn't sure I'd make it back in time to go to dance practice, but it was canceled and the teacher texted us to inform us of it. for some GENIUS reason I chose the reply option and wrote a text to my mom saying something along the lines of "YAY happy day dance practice is canceled I can come straight home from the play and don't have to think if I can make it" and SENT IT TO HIM. FACEPALM this never happens to me! I hate it! I quickly texted him to tell it was an accident and was happy because it suited my schedule but I felt so bad and embarrassed!

haha bad day. I'm also suffering from cramps from hell. and school tomorrow. bleeeergh.

oh well, we're gonna catch watchmen tomorrow so I hope it doesn't suck!

so, I have been sick for a week now. FRAK. it's nothing major, I haven't even had fever, and there were only 2 horrible days when my head weighed a ton and couldn't follow the rest of my body. however, I haven't been able to taste food for a few days now and my nose is so stuffed it's making me crazy. and obviously enough, I can't go dancing, which is also TEH SAD. and it's just not ending! ENOUGH ALREADY.

and there's a beautiful white blanket of snow outside, I want to go for a walk! I think today I will, since I can't dance. hmph. I wanna buy more DVDs to watch, too.

lost? yes I watched it and understood nothing. it was interesting, sure. but I did fall asleep at the end, hahaha.

yayy BSG tomorrow! I've been reading loads of kara/lee fic, it's fun for a change.

my computer is dying. the HD is too full. ugh.

now I'll go to my parents' and eat and hope I can taste at least some of it. seems like such a waste otherwise.

woohoo BSG! I thought I'd make a post since 4.5 starts this friday!

so in probably 2005 or something the finnish tv aired the miniseries, season 1 and season 2. I watched pretty much every episode and thought the show was pretty damn cool. then they stopped airing of course, but they STILL haven't started airing season 3.

so, I have our television to blame for being so late with loving the show. *shakes fist*

okay, I can blame myself a bit, too. I bought the season 1 and 2 DVDs maybe already a year ago on sale, and decided to wait for a good time to watch them. which was this christmas vacation! and THEN I learn the show is going to end this spring!! I freaked out and watched EVERYTHING up until now in about 10 days! and now I'm ready for 4.5.

man, that was a lot of work, hahaha. but I don't mind the least bit. I almost bought s3 on DVD already, too, but decided to wait for it to get a bit cheaper, too.

so, in conclusion, kara thrace is FTMFW and beats kate's whiny ass any day, and kara/lee is kinda more awesome than sawyer/kate right now. we'll see when the new seasons start if I'll keep thinking that, but I wouldn't be surprised if I did.

gods, making that icon took me forever, the scene is so weirdly colored and they're all sweaty! dangit. but it's maybe my favorite scene hahah soooo... bye. school starts at 10am, which is way too early for me. help.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!

mine started out pretty fantastically. well, actually that could be sarcastic, too, but it's not. because this afternoon I got a horrid headache that still isn't gone, so it kinda ruined my first day of the year, but last night...

went to meri and suvi's and aino came too and we played singstar a lot. disney singstar, which is really hard! I cracked up probably during most of the songs. me and suvi's duet of circle of life was something beautiful.

I don't remember laughing that much in a long time, there were some kind of hysterics going on for sure but it was great. SO MUCH FUN.

then some guys started talking to us in english after midnight outside and I didn't realize at all they were actually finnish and just trying to fool us, and then one of them turned out to be aino, suvi and meri's relative or something crazy.

pretty awesome night, I must say. and I have some beautiufl photos and a video but those will not be shared, hahaha.

I'm starting to hit the point during the holidays where I've been without much to do for so many days I'm getting completely ineffective. I came here and sat in front of the computer and have barely moved since. I was supposed to read, maybe finish the whole book, but I've been here since 6 or 7 pm. I blame the headache, eh.

but the weather was beautiful yesterday and today and I'm optimistic for the new year!

oh and I'm making ONE promise and I'm so keeping it: read more books than last year! shouldn't be too hard to beat, sheesh!

so, I don't think I've ever had this much chocolate during the holidays. and still I haven't gained any weight. oh man, thank you whatever for this miracle, hahaha. now the thought of chocolate is starting to make me nauseous so it's time for the new year, yep. heh.

saw australia a few days ago and BAM. my love for hugh jackman was back. nnnngh. watched ALL the x-mens (I really love those movies, except the 3rd one not so much) and van helsing. haaahahah. plus many other movies. I wish I'd read more books this year, though.

oh shoot, I'm not ready for the new year. I feel like so much will happen in the spring it's starting to oppress me already. no no, I'll be positive, it's all fun stuff anyway and I don't have too much school. new dance classes, yay. I'll try to learn moremoremore.

( 2008 it was )

new movies seen: in the theater - 15, altogether - 85
books read: 17, all time pathetic low. thanks, school. thanks, whatever. ok, time to pull myself together once again.

my apartment is ridiculously cold! argh!

christmas went by nicely and I got a few presents but I wasn't expecting anything huge, plus I got a new coat in the sales yesterday, so I'm happy.

whatever you're celebrating, I hope you have a good and relaxing time!


click to enlarge. I made this for DL's advent calendar.

also, jason mraz wishes a merry couple of days. XD he is ridiculous. as in amazingly so.

so, I'm at my parents and I made us white chocolate truffle cake for tomorrow and we have turkey and casseroles and I'm already drooling here. mmmmm. I just want to kick back and read a book and relaaaax. but I'm relaxed enough to be able to relax, so that's good, haha.

lots of love and hugs!

OOMGMGGGGGGG YESSSS BEATCHESSS SCHOOL IS OUT!!

oh my GOD I had the worst weekend EVER. it was partly my own fault though, because I left all the schoolwork for the last week, but still!! on friday I had an exam and missed dance. then, saturday sunday and monday I did this: typed, researched, studied, went out once, went dancing once, typed, reserached, studied.

I sat at the computer for so many hours I felt nauseous by monday evening! I wrote 17 pages. AAAHHHHHHHHH CHRISTMAS BREAK.

I got some cards, thank you ack_attack and mangomandie so much!

I think this year I'll be a bad person and not send out cards, I'm so sorry guys. :( it's so late to do it now and christmas is so close and I have done literally NOTHING yet because of school and dance, so I need to do other stuff. next year I promise!

I have PMS and my legs ache. I think I'll go eat some cookies or raw gingerbread cookie dough and feel nauseous. haha.

I am SO ready to be on vacation. from school and dance. my body will be going into full lockdown any day now, nothing works anymore. and my braiiinnn, yay!

holy crap I haven't posted in almost a month! jeez!

well, nothing new to tell really. I've settled in my new home pretty nicely, am starting to make it messy... dammit. aand I've been dancing and school is trying to bring on a mental breakdown but I'm having none of that. school, whatever. hehee. I'll manage as long as I stick to the deadlines.

I watched so you think you can dance canada, all 20 eps that have aired, in maybe 4 days! O_O owwww. BUT HOLY CRAP NICO OMG DO ME NOW PLZ. angiescully, have you been watching it?! do you know what I'm saying?! do you agree? oh my god he makes me whimper. nicolas archambault... he speaks french and english. adskjasdnnngghhh. I hope I didn't spoil anything for anyone. prolly not, haha.

fianlly got a DVR, too... oh shit that reminds me, I need to pay the annual television fee or whatever the crap it is. can't all channels just have ads so we don't have to pay, argh!

we had a wonderful snow storm a few weekends ago and I was listening to christmas music and everything, and then it all melted and we've been having rain for days and days and days... I don't feel like christmas AT ALL and it's so close! weather, go stick it where the sun don't shine, I'm so sick ot this. I want a WINTER! I need to go somewhere north for christmas, blergh.

but I'm good, hehe. been watching way too much tv and eating too much candy and whining over my sore muscles... yay. my last exam is on the 16th though, it would be nicer to have more free days before christmas but it was the same last year. it's all goood.

I just had half a bar of chocolate for supper, yum.

my profile page is ugly! what is this LJ?

mangomandie tagged me:

( when was the last time I used this much time on this stuff? )

tagging taenina and erries and if someone wants to do it, go ahead. am too lazy to tag people. XD

exciting times! yay for obama, I'm happy for the people on my f-list who voted for him, and I think everyone might have!

also, I'm sitting on the floor of my apartment because I don't have a desk yet, my old one is my dining table now. this is also exciting. I got my internet yesterday and now I'm all alone in here. :D it feels really strange, but I'm more excited, and I'll bring our dog to live here with me once I've settled in properly. there's still some stuff lying around.

because I've been doing so much moving I haven't done enough school work, grr. need to study, gah!

here's hoping I sleep well enough tonight. :D
