We went to Stockholm with Ktiraam just before christmas. Here are a few photos:

And the trip starts! Ktiraam's

=) is not as easy as it should be.

I've decided to try to live as positively as I can, thinking everything good and nothing bad. When I'm anxious about something, I try to think what good will happen, not what bad will happen and so on.

This hasn't exactly worked out. ^^; I am so very tired at work because I've gotten one extra day (an art class) and my own art class started at the same week. Usually today would have been the end of my workweek but now I got to wake up early tomorrow too and trot to work. ^^;
I am pretty sure it's gonna be a fun day and I would be looking forward to it, if I had any more energy.

I was just feeling a little more uplifted, after taking a quick walk outside when I walked past the pizzeria where the guy asked me out on a date. Last week he said that it was his last week there and next week he was gonna return to his real job. Well, he was there again today. Looking as sad and disappointed as he could, when he spotted me from the window.
Now I feel rotten. ;_;

But I don't want to go out with him, because I just know he's not the guy for me. I know this from the times we talked outside. And I had decided on Monday not to answer if he texts me... he did and I didn't answer, feeling relieved that I'm not gonna see him again. Aaaand...
well, things never go the way you plan them, do they. Urgh! >,<

I have some really good and happy things to look forward to though:
- Me and Ktiraam booked our annual christmas shopping trip and we are going to Stockholm! YAYYYY! We went there the other christmas too... was it last christmas, I think so, or the one before that. Anyways, I cannot wait! \^_^/
- I've been sticking to my diet, so if all goes as planned, I will be a thinner me next summer. Spring is always so much easier time to diet than fall. It's so dark and gloomy outside that I just want to eat chocolate and read books.
- All these art classes are making me a much more inspired artist, I am just sketching out my new painting, my first acrylic painting ever. It's gonna be a woman, a warrior woman. =P

Naked Stephen Fry

Christmas is over, thank goodness. XD I had a fun christmas, but at the same time it's such a stressful time I am very glad it's over and done with for the year again. And new years is almost here. As always my plans for new years are a little shadowy yet, but it's been like this for the past I don't remember how many new years and every time it has turned out a really fun night, so I don't stress about it. =D

I saw some old friends from Tampere & Joensuu yesterday. A couple of friends of mine are getting married and the bride's sister was with them too, we had not seen each other properly to talk for almost a year so there was talk. And it was really fun to see them. At the end, after circling the town and seeing my place with the new order, we ended up to the movies. They were going anyways, and asked me to tag along and how could I refuse, they were going to see Sherlock Holmes (2)! (Don't worry Ktiraam, I will GLADLY come and see the movie with you again ;P)

Noomi ♥

And booooyyyy was the movie awesome! I was so waiting to see it because my favourite actress Noomi Rapace is in it. ♥_♥ (She kicked ass! KYAAAH!) And that wasn't the only awesome/yummy thing about the movie, you can get a clue from the topic, HAHA! XD There are more surprises of course, but I won't spoil the movie from anyone. I'm just gonna recommend it! \^_^/

So now, awaiting next year. I am so glad this one is almost over, haha. I hope the next one will be much better. For everyone. At least it is bringing a lot of things to look forward to:
- Viking coming back home
- Me getting some sort of job thingie
- Getting into therapy
- Bucketfull of awesome new movies
- The wedding of Essi & Niko
- The bachelorette party for Essi! ;D
- Summer!!!

Merry Xmas!

Happy happy joy joy! It's finally xmas, time to relax, watch good movies, eat yummy food and drink delicious drinks. ♥ Merry Xmas for all! ^_^

^____^

Holidays

Happy holidays, what ever you are celebrating! \^_^/ Today is winter solstice, and that's for sure a reason to celebrate, I want more sun! Teehee. ^_^

I had a really big troubled time during last weekend/the beginning of this week, but thank goodness things are now sorted out. You see, they charged a bill from my bank account, that people with a certain amount of income should not have to pay... well, there had been some sort of mix up and they took almost ALL my money from my bank account: 170 €, which for me is a huuuuge amount of money. Well, I was left with 6 €... for the rest of the month.
I have not paid my bills, bought any christmas foods, drinks or presents. I was so depressed I just kept crying hysterically. And visited the different offices to sort things out, made phone calls... and after 5 miserable days with no money, I got the money back on my bank account! YAYYY!

It's christmas time again! XD Hurraaa! Today I'm gonna buy some yummy foods, some rum and glögg, wine and chocolate and lots and lots of candles. And at night we're gonna have a Torchwood night with Ktiraam, Yayyy! ^_^
... and my viking ♥ is going home today, so I'm gonna see him earliest in a week, maybe next year, sniff. ;_; His birthday is tomorrow, yayyyyy! ♥ But I'm gonna try to enjoy the holidays anyways, with friends and family. ^_^

Here's my Winter Solstice celebration dude.
If you want to see him naked, visit my P & P
blog! XD

December top 10

I have a lot of serious subjects in mind to write on the blog, but for now, I just wanna relax and have some fun. My friend Serenity had a blog post about her favourite top 10 December stuffs and I think I need to make a list too, teehehehe. =P

This is gonna be slightly different, because I don't really celebrate the traditional kind of christmas (since I don't believe in god and that stuff), but still, there's yule, winter solstice and all those fun non-religion celebrations, so I celebrate my own kind of... thing. I don't mean just the one day as I talk about christmas here, to me that holiday is the whole last week of December. ^_^

Here's my December top #10
#1: Glögg (with rum)
It's yum! =P Haha. Especially with almonds and raisins. And as a plus side, it keeps you warm. And it's really yum. And it makes me remember the feeling I used to have when I was a kid and it was christmas. ^__^

#2: Knitting
It cold outside, you need mittens, woolen socks, big wool sweaters, blankets... and you can knit them yourself. And it's really fun to watch a good movie and knit. =D

#3: Books
Curling under the blanket into your warm bed with a good book on a cold winter day, ahhh, I love it. I always try to stack as much books as I can into my reading list during winter. I love reading. ^__^

#4: Disney & other (cartoon) movies
It's cold and dark outside, you put on a good movie and relax. And get happy, because some movies are just made of pure awesomeness and stuff! =D

#5: Irish coffee
1 part whiskey, 2-4 parts coffee, 2-3 spoons of brown sugar & lots of fresh/whipped cream. YUMMM! ♥ Warming, refreshing goodness.

#6: Sunny days
The winter sun is so freaking pretty. It's so cold and... rare! It's almost always dark here. And cold. But when it's sunny, you have to go out and just enjoy, it feels like a miracle every time. ^__^

#7: Christmas music
Okay, I don't celebrate christmas and I feel sick and tired of the buying frenzy people go into when it's this time of the year, but I love the soft, calm christmas music. It (too) takes me back to my childhood and just... relaxes. ^_^ (my favourite song is Heinillä härkien kaukalon, which is a religious song, but I don't care (I just ignore the words), I looove it either way, it is a song of christmas! XD)

#8: Family
Christmas/yule is a time to spend with family. And that is how I love to spend it. Of course there's not time to see everyone on christmas/yule, so I try to see everyone during December and to just spend some time together. ^_^

#9: Snow
White christmas/yule is... wäääh, something we might lack this year. Though the snow has come every year before christmas/yule, but I really hope we get snow before that this year too. I miss snow. It makes everything brighter. It's so so dark out now with no snow. =S

#10: Christmas/yule trip to Helsinki
With Ktiraam! It's a tradition already! This is, if I counted right, the 5th time we've done this trip! =D And it's the one day when we don't worry about anything, we just relax and shop and have so much fun! We visit all our favourite stores, look at manga and books and eat at our favourite places. It's a day that starts the holiday season for me... plus I buy all my own presents from that trip so it is like christmas, teehee! ♥ ^_^

Shopping

(the real post of the day, löl)

We Finns got our tax returns today (the money left over when you pay too much taxes...) and of course that means that after weeks of being broke, I spent my day out in the town, buying stuff that I really needed. ^^;

I bought two bra's (black sort of sporty kind and dark red with lace), mom bought me a shirt with a text "Dream on" with rainbow lettering on it and I bought a new mooncup. =D I have a mooncup, but it's the size 2, and apparently my "tunnels" are too short for it because even without the antenna, the cup is sticking out. So, the new one is size 1, and it's peeeerfect! ♥ (though I have to cut the antenna away again, I just find it irritating =P).

I also got a package from the other side of the planet, from my friend Dawn! SQUEAL! She had made me these absolutely beautiful earrings with origami, oooo, they were so awesome! ♥ And I got this fun red t-shirt saying "Santa did you get my text?" XD
And Underworld Evolution DVD! KYAAAAAAH!
Awesome, wonderful presents! Made my morning, definitely!
... the postman had to ring my doorbell because the package was so large and I opened the door, wearing just a top and pink panties, ahahahaha! XD

This weekend I'm just gonna chill and move/exercise a lot, next weekend me and Ktiraam are going to our annual Helsinki Xmas trip! YAYYYY! I cannot wait! YAYYYY! =D =D =D
Oh yeah, I organized a little photoshoot one day, I was so boooored. Here are a few takes. =P

Me and my Luis Royo posters (showing some thigh, eeeek! X3)

My hair actually looks like... well, it looks like
I have hair! WOAH! But then again, the
look on my face, wtf? X3
