OH MY GOOOOD I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN YEAAARRSS okay in a month but anyway.

Umm okay... I have short hair now! Kind of accidentally on purpose. I went to the hairdresser last month and because I just can't say no or tell what I want, I didn't get the haircut I wanted, so when I got home I took scissors and cut my hair short... Even if I've always said short hair doesn't suit me... I've gotten used to it by now and kind of like it, but still can't wait for my hair to grow.

And then there was this Linnanmäki (finnish amusement park) cosplay thing, where people came dressed up. I was Romano/South Italy from Axis Powers Hetalia, my half sister Jossu was Hungary and lu_vy was North Italy. There were three other Hetalia cosplayers (China, Japan, Sealand) so when the group fell apart at some point, we hanged out with them or by ourselves. It was a great day. :)

Then the next thing at this month was Animecon VII, Finland's biggest convention. It lasted the whole weekend (3 days), but I was there only on Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday I had Jossu there as Hungary and lu_vy as Italy again. Prussia didn't make it 'cause she didn't find her costume. Anyway, we saw Japan, China and Sealand (as Hong Kong) there again and at some point they came to keep us company on our blanket. Mostly we just ate, sat and took pictures of other cosplayers. Though at some point when me and Italy were cuffed to each other with Japan's pink furry handcuffs, someone (can't remember who anymore) hijacked my fan and when we ran after her we accidentally broke the handcuffs. :D I gave her my red furry handcuffs for that. There was also this big Hetalia photoshoot! Can't remember much, but I really had the time of my life.
On Sunday there was just me and lu_vy (Hungary left to the cabin with her friends). At first we just sat on the blanket in the sunshine by ourselves, took a couple of pictures, but right when it got too hot in the sun and we moved our blanket to the shade, hetalia-cosplayers started to gather to our blanket just out of the blue. :D They pretty much went and came. Then we decided to take a little stroll since we'd just been sitting, and found even a bigger Hetalia-group under one tree. We asked if we could join and got permission~ We had really great time in that group and got to know many other cosplayers. (Uh I also bought some stuff and this Skelanimals Diego-plushie.) After we left from the Animecon, I've got this longing to get back to cosplay.

Fortunately we have this Hetalia gathering/picnic at Suomenlinna on 8.8. so I'm gonna meet some of those Hetalia-cosplayers I already know and get to cosplay again. (Though there's this really scary Russia, she has the most creepiest smile on this planet and she just came to comment to me a while ago so, um... I hope she has a short memory and doesn't come to scare me there, I'm sure that Japan's knee-squeezings are enough to creep me out... o_ô)

And since I'm on a stroll with cosplaying, lets talk more about that. There were at least seven Russias on Saturday at Animecon, so I got this huge urge to cosplay Russia too, since his one of my most favourite characters. I won't be doing that jacket of his though, since I want to make this cosplay by myself (first time) and stand out from the crowd a bit. I'll be doing the costume Russia had when he visited Germany's house (year 1939). I really can't wait to get started with the costume, too bad I don't have any money so I have to leech off from mom's wallet... I'll try to get the costume done by Tsukicon (in October).


Now some other stuff...

I still haven't gotten those geta-sandals I ordered from eBay, they were sent on 17th last month, but I'm not that worried yet, since I choose SAL with the shipping and it said that it can take 2-4 weeks with that.

Aaaand I went to the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiere with lu_vy. Okay it was a bit angsty, but most of the time me and the rest just laughed... :D And, I really am too old for this, but..... SQUEEEE DRACO MALFOY WHY SO FAIL!EVIL AND ADORABLE. Squee~


Um... I guess that's all for now...



EDIT: Oh yeah, pictures from Animecon VII: http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f216/Freiwen/

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*

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...

 

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.

THE VEST CAME!

The money I transferred got into my PayPal account~
Now I can get that cosplay vest from eBay.


It felt good to study japanese again.


I was supposed to do 2 essays and a mind map for tomorrow's history lesson but eh.



Oh, and also, HETALIA STARTS AIRING ON NEXT WEEK AHGDHDHAGDHDG.
