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...


 

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*

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)

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. -->

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.

So yyeaahh.

Saturday was Independence Day. I woke up after 12 a.m. and..... I can't really remember what I did. Mostly sat in front of computer and watched movies from tv.
In the evening the Independence Day Party/Reception (Linnan juhlat. I really can't come up with a good translation, but it's a party/reception in the Presidential Palace for remarkable people) came from tv and as always we watched the evening gowns of the guests. Kind of a tradition, really. After that I continued drawind the Hetalia picture of Finland and inked and coloured it during the night. I promised to see my friend the previous day somewhere around 2 p.m. I went to sleep between 5-6 a.m....

Sunday. I woke up at 12 a.m., put the alarm clock off and went back to sleep... Then I woke again at 2 p.m. (cough). Later my stomach started to hurt, so she had to came here. We took the dog out, made fruit salad and watched Mermaid Chronicles Part 1: She Creature. She left at nine and I started to watch Heroes. (Two first episodes, they started airing it second time, apparently it was that popular. I decided I would start to watch it too.) After that I went to shower.

AND HOLY SIZZLES I REALLY SHOULD BE SLEEPING NOW. Early morning etc.

SO. I started to sketch an Independence Day drawing of Hetalia's Finland.

Now I'm going to sleep and try to finish the drawing after that.

Uhm, about this day. I had 2h of Finnish in the morning and after that 3x free period. After that I would've had the Independence/graduation occasion, but eh, I sneaked out around 10-11 and my friend came to pick me up. She had her grandma with her, so we went to do some shoppings and after that went to the cemetery and put some candles there. Then we had tea with grandma (in her house, not in the graveyard) and lounged there a while before leaving.
It's amusing to sit in the car when she drives. It's like "oh whoops wrong turn HEY ASSHOLE DRIVE FASTER what was the speed limit again oh well". When we got to my home, we ordered pizza and started watching a movie. The pizza tasted bloody good, and arse it was expensive. (Thanks for my friend for paying it.) Then she left somewhere around 2-3 p.m. (damn it was good to see her again). I fell asleep almost immediately and didn't wake up until 8 p.m. Was I tired or what?

And I'm very tired now too, and I heard mom's alarm clock. TO THE BEDMOBILE! Nighties.

Augh, I had one hour of religion (9-10 a.m.) and then 3h free period. After that I waited in front of Finnish class and then some teacher said the lesson is canceled. Aggh?! .... not that I cared that much, but.

Did some shopping after school (books, DVDs).

Also, I got a friend of mine hooked to Hetalia and we rambled about it on the free periods.

Holy crap the clock is 1:50 a.m. the alarm will ring at 6 a.m. I'm supposed to be asleep.

(Seriously, too much Hetalia videos in youtube for me.)

The exam week is about to start on Thursday. I think I have only three exams, if me and history teacher come up with a solution when I'll do my history exam (I did that course independently).

I was supposed to visit the school nurse, because the swallowing still feels uncomfortable in the mornings and evenings, but she wasn't available. I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow.

And I got my art commission done. Whew. Now I'm only supposed to do the literary report  of how the work progressed.

The forecast promised snow this week. I hope that holds true.


(I can't wait to hear who Finland gets for voice actor.)

Okay, the Friday lessons went okay and this is what actually happened;
I get paired up with two girls. We choose a task to do and the two girls make one point of the analysis we had to make from a text. Then I make one point after I finally have the courage to open my mouth. Then the girls start to talk about where they're going to go to drink on weekend. I watch my book, listen to them and try not to make "you are so stupid" expressions. Then everybody goes to eat and I go get my cell phone from the hall (I accidentally forgot it there on my free period, glad it was still there) and come back to the classroom. There I read the text again and get a lot of new points and write them down. With those I get a good perspective. Then when the second lesson starts and we have to say our results out aloud, I only mention about the other girls' results (seriously, they weren't relevant at all) and the rest of the analysis is of those that I came up with. Teacher says "very good" and I snatch all the credit~~
Now that wasn't such a bad lesson after all. Still glad that the real teacher comes back on Monday.

The weekend in itself was quite the same as always. A lot of watchable movies came from tv though.

And on Friday mom brought me an armylike jacket that I really got fond of. I gladly went out with the dog so I could wear it...

And what the hell, I saw a dream of a teenage Russia who was spending time and having an ice cream with me and now I feel like I'd have a crush on him... this is really... weird. No, seriously. Though I don't mind.

And next some general rambling.

I've really alienated from my girly side. When I was in middle school (in my goth/metallist period), I really tried to get a corset. After middle school I realized that it really wouldn't have suit me, since it's too feminine. Nowadays if I try to dress or act girly, I'll just feel stupid like a boy who'd be forced to wear a skirt and a purse. Usually I'm okay with this, but there are times when I really would want to dress like a girl (or rarely act like one) and then I'll either feel stupid if I do it, or down because I can't do it without feeling stupid. My friends would also probably think of it as awkward if I did something like that, because they're used to the fact that I act more like a boy and don't look that girly. 
And because I relate being or looking girly - and other stereotypical feminine stuff like that - with getting attention from boys, this sometimes really gets to me. Nobody has ever shown any interest in me, so this often makes me feel bad, too. Even if I always try to convince myself in stuff like this that things aren't like that, I always fail since 1) my self-confidence is zero and 2) I'm a bit paranoid in things like these.



I think I'll go to sleep now. I really managed to make myself feel down again with all this pondering. Like I always do.
(And shit the clock is 2:32 a.m.)

This morning my mom called to the dentist's and reserved a time (December 12th) for my wisdom tooth/teeth removal... I bet I start to get nervous when it gets closer...

Ah, our Finnish teacher (the most hated one in our school) was in some sort of education thing this day and is going to be tomorrow too, so we had this substitute...
She... was okay, I guess... a little off, but... okay.
Until she said we're gonna work on groups tomorrow.
NO GOD I DON'T WANT THAT, SAVE ME FROM COMMUNICATING WITH OTHERS.
God I wish our own teacher would come back, I miss her... >__> (doesn't "the most hated teacher in our school" ring a bell to myself....) At least she let us work with pairs or by ourselves (thank god) and kept the class in order...

Now that I started talking about teachers, I realized that my religion teacher (the other one of my two favourites) resembles a lot my big sister by her nature, so that's probably why I like her so much... Since I really adore my big sister and keep her as my idol/role model...

AND OMG new information about Hetalia Axis Powers. I just looked the sketches of the characters and SQUEEEE RUSSIA WAS ADORABLE. (France was nice, too.) I'm starting to fangirl Russia more and more, but... he's so huggable... (no seriously I want to squeeze him to death)



~

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~


.

So, there was this guy shooting in school in Kauhajoki today. Apparently it spread to the world the same day, so I'm not going to talk about it much. This is the second time, so I wonder if there's more of these coming...
I really don't think much about this myself, 'cause I don't seem to be affected much by those kinds of things that  don't happen in my or my relatives' life.
Where on earth is this world going...

I got my Japanese books today (finally) and it was kinda hard to follow, because it's all in hiragana, katakana and kanji, but at least I'll memorise all the characters again and hopefully learn to read faster.
The teacher owes me 3€, wahaha! (He got my books from another city and I paid them.)

Aa'ah~~ I feel like drawing, but for some reason taking paper and pen and start sketching has become hard for me... especially if I don't have anything spesific in mind.
Naah, I wanna draw fanart of Hetalia... TwT I've become very fond of US (though I really don't like the country or its inhabitants in real life...), Korea and SwedenxFinland.

Um, that's about all I think.

(Oh wow, I actually started writing in here. Maybe it's because no one really reads these, so I don't feel like I'm trying to force my thoughts or opinions on anybody... and it would be kind of nice to get foreign friends from here, though I don't think that'll happen, since I'm too shy to go to comment to anyone and I don't think anyone here will notice me.)

I'm totally addicted in Hetalia (by Hidekazu Himaruya). Glad there are people who have translated the strips into English. Also, I found it weird that there was so little fanart in deviantART and a big bunch of pictures in photobucket...
The videos of hetalia in youtube also rock so hard (and make me laugh like an idiot). I can't wait the anime.
I've been watching anime, movies and Hetalia things when I'm supposed to do three essays this weekend... I'm a total slacker... -_-;
