Seriously, I need to update more often...

I can't remember if there's anything else to write about except the hetalia gathering/picnic. Which was btw BLOODY AWESOME. We met at the railwaystation and walked together from there to the dock where the ship to the Suomenlinna left. There were about 40 of us. When we got to the Suomenlinna, some went to the shop and after that we went to find a picnic place. We spent most of the time at that spot, though some went to walk around. There were few games and such. Then there was the scary Russia who bit lu_vy, bitchslapped Suna and smacked everyone to oblivion with a horse crop that he stole from Germany...
... all in all, it was a brilliant day, and I hope that there will be second one after Tsukicon~ Germany also added me to the msn, so yay new friends~ And...... the scary Russia, too........

So, now I'm trying to get a job since I don't have anything to do nor any incomes. Going to be hard though, because of the recession.

Also, my birthday is this week, so I'm going to go to the movies to Helsinki on Saturday with lu_vy and Suna. I also get a little money from dad so I can start doing my cosplay after that. I'm worried about that because I've never done a cosplay costume myself...

God this week is so boring, I have nothing to do. Miyuki (Germany-cosplayer) said I should go to her place, and now I really want to, but I don't have any money to get there...



I guess that's all...


 

YESSS THE WIG CAME.
I need to wash it with conditioner and try to comb it into a better shape.

Also, I got Hungary for our cosplay group, too, yay~
(So now we have North Italy, South Italy that's me, Prussia and Hungary.)

Also also also, Paypal put that ~90€ back to my bank account since it never reached my Paypal account because I made a little oopsiedaisy with the transfer~ So I don't have to meddle with that anymore.

I was supposed to go and watch the fabrics for and with Prussia and Hungary, but it's rainy and chilly day, so...

Watched Biker Mice From Mars again. Damn they rock.


EDIT: OHHH I ALSO GOT THIS http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110400048747&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching *GLEE*

So uhhh yeah I should be sleeping. Not sleepy at all though.


Went to the Rosso with a friend yesterday, we ate a big pizza and two large ice cream portions. Was full for the whole day.

Also, I got my friend to cosplay Prussia for Animecon.



... now I'm in my bed with laptop.


Uhhh I guess I could watch that X-Men 2 mom got me from the flea market.

Whew, after some minor hassling I've finally paid the whole cosplay-costume, extra fees and all. Now I just hopes it comes in time.
The wig ought to arrive next week.

Jesus, I really shouldn't do business at this time of night. When I tried to pay the extra fee with paypal it asked me ID and password separately apart from the logging in. I tried to figure out before what was the "Paypal ID" I was meant to send to the seller and found out it was the e-mail address with what I log in, so I tried to put that in there and the paypal just goes "nnnooo that won't do, try something else" and then I try to put my name and again "ahaha no". After nearly starting to panic and get pissed while trying to figure what the hell I should put to the ID, I notice this one thing...
"eBay ID:"
"eBay password:"
....... I DIDN'T KNOW WEATHER TO LAUGH OR CRY. Well, at least I figured it out and got the payment done. *headdesk*


Aah and yes, there's still some money left in my Paypal account so I can buy this one thing from eBay that I reallyreallyreally want...

 

Aaaaahh there were so much Hetalia-cosplayers at Desucon. I wish I could've cosplayed Romano there. Now I can't wait for Animecon, where there'll be even more people cosplaying Hetalia.


 

Just paid the wig for Romano-cosplay, that I bought from eBay. It should arrive in couple weeks. :>

Uhh haven't updated in a while...
Because I've been reading.
And reading.
And then reading some more.

I've been reading the whole month for the university entrance examinations, so nothing worth writing about has really happened.

So yeaaah. The last few days have been busy, however.

On Thursday I had the kind-of-official photograph taken of me in a dress and high heels and... curls in hair and student cap and such. There was a professional person doing the make-up before the pic was taken, and wow she did a great job.

On Friday I had the entrance examination. It... didn't go that well, so I'll just... start reading MUCH earlier next year...
Also, I met one of my friends while I was at Helsinki, and she told me how her life's been after she moved there... and... JESUS CHRIST HOW HER LIFE GOT SO FUCKED UP. My brains didn't even comprehend all the things she said so I couldn't do anything but just smile and nod and wonder aloud oh my, you're life certainly hasn't been boring. Things that have happened to her, I thought they happen only in the most messed up american tv-series. Christ.
I left from the exam early enough and made it to the graduation rehearsal. That wasn't nice either, since all the people around me were being SO BLOODY ANNOYING (read: usual teenagers). So... Friday was really, really shitty day and I was angry or sad most of the day.

Saturday, on the other hand, was very nice. I had to wake up early to get ready for the graduation (apparently the better term would be matriculation) ceremony/party/don't know what's the right word in english. The ceremony was nice and kinda moving, but I was pretty nervous during the part where we got our diplomas (don't know if that's the right word, either) and roses, since I was among the last ones. After the ceremony we went to the centre and started walking the march from there to the Hero Graves. It was kinda... pain. We walked on the motor road, the sun was shining, no cloud or shades, everyone was very hungry, thirsty and tired. After we arrived to the cemetary, we put our roses in front of the graves and then we were free to go home.
The home party was great, big sister and relatives were there, got lot of roses (blue and white, too <3) and a LOT of cards with money in them. Dad and granpa gave me the pocket watch I've wanted for years ( I LOVE IT and can't stop touching and carrying it with me <3). Mom gave a mug with bunnies in it (and money), one of them has a student cap. I got a pretty necklace from my aunt and a plate from dad's neighbour (whom I have never even seen) that she had painted herself. It had really pretty colours. (I also got money from dad's dance partner, whom I have never seen either, ahahaha what? :D) My relatives from dad's side couldn't make it to the party since they had another party to attend and they live pretty far from us. They gave me a cheque (NICE *thumbs up*) that was worth 440€. All in all, I got 1160€. All the studying finally paid off! Two of my friends came to see me after 6 p.m., when my relatives were gone. The other one gave me a cute badger plushie (okay, it's official; I'm a badger :'D) and the other one hadn't bought me a present yet, and she had to check if I already had it what she was going to buy.
So, a great day, though I was pretty exhausted and my feet were KILLING me (first time wearing high heels for so long... the shoes got a lot of praises, though). Matti filmed most of the day, so we have it on tape.

Today I just chilled (and woke up late).

Tomorrow... I'm going to spend that money a bit. Gonna buy a laptop, new shoes for summer and maybe some clothes (a vest/waistcoat if I'll find a good one).



Next two weeks...
MORE reading for the other university entrance examination (archeology).

Next Saturday there'll be Desucon in Lahti, I'll cosplay Shikamaru (from Naruto Shippuuden) there.

27.6 there will be a cosplay-event at Linnanmäki (an amusement park), I tried to get the uniform of Romano (Axis Powers Hetalia) from eBay, but the money I transferred to Paypal has taken more days than it should (probably my fault, I think I forgot to do one thing...) so the costume wouldn't make it in time. If that's the case, I'll cosplay Shikamaru there, too, and leave Romano for Animecon.


That's.... that's probably all for now...




EDIT: Eddie Izzard is bloody awesome.

UPDATE TIME AGAIN

Urrrm nothing much happened on last week.

On Monday I was supposed to go and lend some exambooks for the university entrance examinations, but there weren't any free at our library. So, I lazed at home. Bad me.

On Tuesday I went to search those books from the bookshop, only one was to be found, but I didn't have enough money for that, so I reserved it (book of archeology). The shop assistant sent some messages to the other cities' bookshops whether they'd have the Finnish grammar book and/or the world of religions book (which, the publishers aren't making anymore, apparently). They'll txt me if they find the religion book, and the grammar books should come to the shop this week.
I also went to search a dress for the graduation party. Found one and reserved it til Thursday.

On Wednesday I... uhhh... can't remember what I did, so it was probably nothing big... (I'm seriously starting to get worried about my memory span)

On Thursday dad picked me up at morning (well 10 a.m. is pretty much morning for me, since I usually wake up around 1 p.m...) and we went to get the graduation dress, and dad bought me the graduation cap at the same (yeah no pressures but I bought the hat for you already)...
I picked up my password for library's online account, too.
I was pretty exhausted for the rest of the day since I woke up after 7 a.m. and didn't get even 3h of sleep. Surfed on the net (while trying not to fall asleep) and later took a nap.

On Friday I'll have to go pick up that archeology-book (and grammar if those have shown up) and after that I'll leave to lu_vy's. I'll be there for the weekend because on Sunday there will be Japan Day at Helsinki and we're going there~


Er, money sure is a weird thing. Last week I had only 12€ at my account (still is, since I can't get it out from there) and today I noticed that I have over 100€ in my wallet... seriously, the heck? Not that I'm complaining. I had a real brainstorm as I was trying to figure where that all came from. Apparently most of it came from mom and dad (some of the money is for the exambooks), but I had saved some myself and got some from selling my books away. If I don't go on a spending spree at the Japan Day, I'll save those for my Hetalia cosplay (I'll probably be Lithuania, but damn, I've gotten pretty attached to South Italy, too).

I also watched Natsume Yuujinchou & Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou during this week. I'm such a sucker for japanese mythology...

Now I should go to sleep, so I'll get enough sleep. (Edit: wow does that sound wise after reading it the second time)

TO TRACOOOOON.

Mom put a new zipper to my cosplay pants (old one was broken).
The pouch is done, too.
I still need to shorten the sleeves of my shirt tomorrow
Oh, and I got the earrings on Friday~
I'll have to check if I can cut my net pantyhose to a leggings, so I wouldn't have to buy those.
After that, it'll be just sandals and the leg holster~


I have Monday and Tuesday off, then there's some graduating infos at the school on Wednesday, the first Finnish baccalaureate on Thursday and on Friday I have day off again and lu_vy will come here~~
And on Saturday, TRACOOOOONN. *sparkle*





Big sister visited here on Saturday. <3

 

Got inspired when I got the vest --> finished my corset (for binding) and hitai-ate. I'll get the earrings on Friday and I'll do the pouch on weekend, so then I'll only need the net leggings (maybe I should go buy them on weekend?), and the leg holster. Oh, and the sandals. The hair I'll do the day before the event.

THE VEST CAME!

Holy crappé I haven't written anything in a week. Now I can't remember what I did last week... only that I had Finnish preliminary on Friday...

Anyway.

I had the essay preliminary of Finnish on Monday.
On Tuesday was the- no, wait... today is Tuesday. Or, Tuesday-Wednesday night, technically speaking. But goddamn to me tomorrow is only when I wake up to it! ANYWAY. I had the history preliminary today... It was... pathetic.

Thank god I have day off tomorrow, I can sleep long. Then there is still religion preliminary on Thursday and after that, Friday-Tuesday all free~

OH GOD TRACON IS NEXT WEEK. *JOY* MY VEST STILL HASN'T SHOWED UP. *PANIC*


ALSO, I watched Hetalia's first anime episode! Aaaawesoooome.
Speaking of Hetalia, me and lu_vy are going to cosplay from that series in Animecon. She is North-Italy. I'm still not sure who I want to be. First I considered France, but I'd have to get a wig for that (though it's pretty normal wig, easy to find) and his jacket may be a little problem... Austria would be nice too, his hair and eye colours would match mine (and he has glasses), but I would have to cut my hair pretty short, and again, he has a problematic jacket. Then there's South-Italy, costume would be pretty easy, he would match nicely with his brother, but then again, the haircut. Then there's Lithuania, he probably has the easiest costume and I wouldn't have to cut my hair that much (and he might attract some Russias... but then again, Belaruses -or whatever is the plural for Belarus- too...). Well, there's still time for that.



Can't come up with anything else coherent enough.
To the bedmobile. -->

I've become so incapable...
Those two essays and mind map I was supposed to do for Wednesday? Yeah, I just finished doing them...
Jesus Christ I suck.

The exam week starts on Friday, guhh... Preliminaries...

Tracon is near, and I'm already panicking about my cosplay and whether the vest will make it in time...

Stressstressstressstress.


Anyway, mom's brother and his family visited today with my cousin and their new-ish baby.
Uncle: So, what are you know? 18?
Me: ... I turn 20 this year.
Uncle: WHA?!

Yeah, I know... I still feel so young...



Maybe... I should go to sleep now.... I have to wake up at 6 a.m....

So I found out today that I'm supposed to do the oral essay for Monday. And I can't move it later because the whole list was booked full...
Crap.
I'm glad the teacher sympathized with me though...

I also got to know just now that I can use the Paypal with my bank account (don't own a credit card)... If I've known this sooner I'd probably have the chuunin vest already...
I just transferred money to the Paypal account, I hope I did it right...




 

FIRST DAY OF HOLIDAY and still it totally doesn't feel like it.

So I went to Helsinki with a friend, did some Christmas present shoppings and then we went to see a movie (The Fall). Which I was supposed to pay btw, but apparently that was a no-no and she paid it... SO SHE'S GETTING AN EXPENSIVE PRESENT. DAMMIT.
Presents = YEAH LU_VY I BOUGHT YOU A PRESENT EVEN IF YOU TOLD ME NOT TO WHATCHU GONNA DO?
Movie = It was pretty good and interesting, though maybe a bit... artistic.

I really, REALLY have to clean my wardrobe this weekend and put a lot of clothes away, since I don't use even half of them and they're really taking a way too much space.

On Monday me an' lu_vy are supposed to go to watch Joulutarina-movie (Um... Christmas Story?), so I guess I'll do a little shopping that day, too. And I can give her present to her then.

Oh oh oh, and wtf, Raito and L cosplayers just randomly walked past us in the streets of Helsinki. There wasn't even any event related to that? :D OH and when we went to a toystore (yeah shutup), there was this TOTALLY COOL GIGANTIC T-REX TOY/STATUE/WHATEVER, I WANTED IT SO BADLY BUT IT WAS 70€. *tear*

Ah crap I really should start to go sleep early.

Quite a normal school day.

Dad came to pick me up after 4 p.m. and we headed towards a pet shop that just got opened. We bought a new harness and some bones for the dog.  He gets so restless when with dad that it's almost concerning. And in the car he barks and whines so loud it hurts my ears. We really should ask a dog specialist what's the matter with him.
After that I went to look for new shoes with my mom. I tried ones that were otherwise really good, but they were so tight from the calf I almost couldn't get them closed. Goddamnit stop making clothes for models, ordinary people need them too!
Oh and dad said he could pay the cosplay vest, so I still have money left for Christmas shopping and such. <3

I guess that's all, and if there's something more, I'm too tired to remember...

"Holy shit Batman!"

The bedmobile.
Now.

Friday
I woke up somewhere around 10 a.m. and ate breakfast etc. Then I started cleaning. It's nice to see my room clean once in a while. Then I quickly ate, showered and went on a train to lu_vy for the weekend. We watched tv while we were playing her Hotel-game. It was really entertaining (especially when laughing your head off). In the end she had to stay two times straight in my five star hotel, so she had to sell all her hotels to me, so that she could pay. :D That was _awesome_.

Saturday
Even though we did stay up pretty late, we woke up early, ate breakfast and left to search the place Tsukicon was held. We had to ask some directions, and when we finally were near, we heard this loud noise coming from ahead and then we finally saw people lining inside the house. It was bloody awesome, a friend of lu_vy hooked up with us and _OH_MY_GOD_ I SAW ITALIA FROM HETALIA THERE. Me and lu_vy had joked about seeing someone cosplaying from Hetalia, but I never really believed it would actually come true. Unfortunately I couldn't get good pictures. There was also other awesome stuff, like this guy with a mudkip hat and a V for Vendetta -mask. (Doubleyuu-tee-eff, mate? :D) And lolita badminton.
It was really a shame to leave so early from there, but we had to go somewhere to eat before all the places would've been closed. We ate in Subway (holy chicken that stuff was filling) and then went back to her home. Then we watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and a movie from tv. After that, we were pretty tired and went to sleep.

Sunday
Sunday was lu_vy's biiiiirthdaaaaay. Now she's ooooold. We stayed quite long in bed and watched some documents from tv. Then we ate delicious cake. Ohh. *remembers and drools* That was a good cake.
Anyway, I had to leave since apparently I had yet two other birthdays to visit the same day. I kind of was grumpy and snappy when it became such a hurry to go to my grandfather's birthday. Anyway, we grapped a relative with us and paid a visit for him. It was kind of sad, they didn't really pay any attention to him, just talked about some old pictures and stuff by themselves and he was kind of left alone, even though it was his birthday. .__. So I tried to be with him as much as possible. I really cracked up when he randomly said I shouldn't tie up my breasts (they weren't tied up, just petit...), since his wife did so and almost couldn't feed my dad. Pfft, what a topic. :D Thanks grandpa, I know they're small. <3 Then I finally got home to my beloved computer~<3



Uhm, the clock's almost 5 a.m.
I don't know if I should go to sleep anymore.
Apparently they have started airing Avatar here in Finland, too. It comes at 7 a.m.
Unfortunately, it's dubbed in Finland and usually finnish dubs are just downright horrible.
I have already seen most of the episodes, but it's been a while since I saw them, so if the dubbing hasn't completely ruined the whole thing, I might as well start to watch it. I kind of liked it. It was bloody great.


Aaaaaand my holiday starts now. Yaay~
