Dimrill Dale

I think I'm broken. I haven't felt like "internet" or "people", except for this forum I'm in. *sigh*

I'm sorry you people! It's absolutely nothing personal!

I think that I'm recovering, slowly, because yesterday I thought about a layout for evil-owl.com and today I almost turned on the Messenger. So hang in there. I'm not dead, just... bored.

(might have something to do with the fact that IRL I'm feeling bummed and depressed and what-have-you, because I really need a j-o-b. Like really need one. I feel like such a loser just sitting home and doing fuck-all *sigh* )

Yes I'm well aware that I'm like LATE with this, but hey: there were a record of 42 countries that I had to comment on. Some of them were so good that I thought I might run out of superlatives and to be honest? some were so terrible that I can't even stomach to think about them without falling into a state of near catatony repeating only the phrase "Why god, why?". So, to begin with the semifinalists who (mostly luckily) didn't make it to the final.

1. Does anyone know your password to your myspace?
I don't have a MySpace, but if I did, I bet Juk would know it. Since she knows my passes for every damn place. So go torture her if you want them.

2. Do you own an iPod?
No, but an equally cool mp3 player.

3. Who on your top 24 do you talk to most?
Top huh? Oh, MySpace thingies? Don't do MySpace.

Happy now? :D

I don't have five LJ friends, and I can't put the links to them like they should go (with the wee dude infron of them) because I'm stupid that way, but I tag </a></b></a>belewien and </a></b></a>rustlingragazza. Ok?

So the ESC… It was a blast, not because the quality of the songs would’ve been good, no, it was shittier than ever, I think (i always say that). It was a blast solely because Finland had the best song ever (out of the ones we’ve ever sent to the competition, that is), it got to the finals (which is unheard of) and most of all, IT WON! Goddamnit. Finland has never won the competition before. We have been participating for 45 or so years. So I think it was right that once we win, we do it with a huge amount of points. No one has ever scored that much in the competition. Ruslana, who won two years ago, got 260-something. Lordi got 292. We so rule.

Also I liked the stage. Most of all I liked it during Bosnia & Herzegovina’s Lejla, because the whole background was filled with stars. It was beautiful. I don’t like the Greeks that much, what comes to the shows. It always the same. “look, we have like so much history, like 3 billion years ago there were greeks, so that’s why we have all this ancient things here to show you because like, you didn’t know about our history and you know”. The presenters were quite relaxed. The only horrible thing was during the finals, when Maria had this dress on… Which basically didn’t fit too well and omg her nipple was showing. It was just embarrassing. D: Also I need to confess that during the voting in the semifinals, I had brief moment of insanity when I fell in love with Sakis Rouvas. But it was only a brief moment.

( Ok. On to the songs. I shall list them alphabetically. All of them. Deal with it. )

The fuck? I apparently cannot use any html in my entries? Okiedok. hence you get the stripped version. I shall see if I acn do anything about the links I had when I posted this on tehRika.de. *grunts* Man I'm stupid. *hides in a box*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIFEY!!!!11111 <3 <3 <3

Awwwww omg. How much am I in love with my bf? Liek-alot? Yup. The gig he played on Saturday was just bloody brilliant. You can imagine what the music is like, if the band is called Fuck, It's 80's XD There was a story of the gig in today's paper and according to that, everyone had been more than a bit O_o because the boys didn't play any heavy songs (yea except Paranoid as an encore) but instead went for the pop songs. I was laughing my ass off when Jani (the leadsinger) said before they played anything "So this a heavy-night. We thought we'd honor the theme by not playing any heavy at all" Needless to say there were a whole bunch of die-hard heavy-fans with Double-You-Tee-Ef -faces \o/

Anyways, I was the only one of my entourage (isn't it a trendy word to use really? yea ok not anymore but i like it, sue me) who didn't get soaked with $alcohol_drink. Rei got the first hit. Half a pint of beer down her back, by some Drunken!Idiot™. Tinttu got the second wave, only this time it was the bartender who poured a full pint on her back. Honest mistake, but the bartender was nice enough to offer Tinttu some reconciliation in the form of two beers and a cider. Hence: everyone of us got free drinks. \o/

Despite of the two incidents, we had fun, even tho the second band was a load of crap. (did i mention there were three bands playing? Helevetisti Itään, a cover-band doing covers of finnish band Kotiteollisuus, To The Darker Grounds, which is a local "pride" and then Fuck It's 80's) Yea, so To The Darker Grounds was SO bad. I mean the boys played well, no question of that, but the songs were just... ugh. Shite. (vittu ihan hirviää tuubaa, siis oikeasti) The first band was good, they played pretty damn strickt covers of the originals, but nevertheless they were good. And then Fuck It's 80's. Aw. The combination is just perfect in my opinion. There's 80's pop songs, that everyone knows and are cheesyliekomg. There's a band that has four members who can play their instruments damn well. There's the tongue-in-cheek factor and a bloody cute basist. The cute basist was a bit worried beforehand, since they only had trained four times before the gig. But I thought it went really well and we had a lot of fun, like everyone. Which is the most important thing in gigs like these. :D

Hehe. Sometime during the night Tinttu got all thoughtful and I was like what. She pointed at me and said "I just realized something that is rather unfair." I went huh? And she said "I just understood that you get to sleep with the basist tonight and you don't even have to make an effort. *poutface*" I was O_o for a second and then started laughing. And of course I had to msg Juk (who asked how the gig went later that evening when we were getting pizza) that I picked up the basist of Fuck It's 80's. *evolgrin*

I'm such a groupie. ;)

I was kinda hoping for Seahawks to win. For many reasons, really. Of which the fact that Steelers've won already four times (yea correct me if i'm wrong on the number, but whatever) isn't the least.

Keep your Terrible Towels. Pft. *grunts*

Happy 2006 to y'all. \o/

I'm gonna follow Wifey's example and do a year-end analysis on the soon-expiring Ice-Ice.org.It's rather ... hmmh ... interesting to view the stats :wink:

Unique visitors: ~103617 ( accurate value not available)
Bandwidth used: 30.09 Gb O_O okiedok...

Where did people who visited i-i.org come from then? According to the stats: Finland, Netherlands (oh really?) Canada (hey Johnnie!), Germany (can you say BoogeyManCountry?), France, Italy, Australia, United Kingdom, US Edu (pplz of MIT surely learning from my coding :P ), Mexico (ya all the hax0rz i bet) and Belgium.

I'm gonna skip all the boring details about the browsers and what-not and skip to the fun part: Search keyphrases \o/
ngoetra, abmany, pamppa: Ehhh... huh?
teenybopper: That's me. *waves*

porn teenybopper: Me again! o/

Yep. Suck on those for a while. ;)

And omg yes. I am still alive.

You may congratulate me. I’m getting married. :D

Now before you start buying me wedding presents, I shall tell you that I’m going to be the second wife of my Algerian classmate. \o/ I originally asked Sauli (oh luff-luff Sauli) to be our husband (me and Juk are a package deal in this) but it turned out that he didn’t have the qualities we wanted. Or rather one specific quality. Our husband should know how to make a four-piece braid. Ya know, for baking pulla.

So today we asked if Tayeb could do it. He said he could try. Well, we fetched four wires from the storage and whaddyaknow: Four-piece braid, very neatly. So naturally I said do we have to get married now and he said okiedok, why not and we agreed on it. Only this time Juk bailed out.

So we agreed on the price of marriage (twenty camels, ten for each) and shook hands on it. Luckily there are twenty Camels in a pack, so the marriage will cost us only 2.05 euro each. :D This means I guess that I’m engaged now? Wow.

Can you see that we have nothing to do in the Real-Time Programming I lessons? ;)

Gah. Boredom.

Your Inner Child Is Surprised

You see many things through the eyes of a child. Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded. You cherish all of the details in life. Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.

Yes yes. I'm rarely cynical? Yes, and pigs fly.

How You Are In Love

You fall in love quickly and easily. And very often. You give completely and unconditionally in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You're secretly hoping your partner will change for you. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

Wait what? I fall in love easily and very often? \o/ Hole-in-one, quizziethingy! Other parts are possibly not so accurate... O_o

You Are a Glam Rocker!

You put the "show" in rock show with your larger than life self. No doubt, you are all about making good music... But what really gets you going is having an over the top show. Glitter, costumes, and wild hair are your thing - with some rock thrown in!

What Your Underwear Says About You

When you're bad, you're very bad. And when you're good, you're still trouble! You're comfortable in your own skin - and don't care to impress anyone.

*eyebrow wiggle* vewy VEWY baaad. Bewawe of the Wika. Gnarf.

Tonight, I'm doing something that Johnnie might be a little envious of... I'm going to an Antti Tuisku concert. Yay! I'm not particularly a fan of the boy, nor do I appreciate the phenomena that he is, but I do like the songs on his first album. So yay! is in order here. But there are two sides to every story... in this particular case the tickets were v. expensive (12 euros O_O ) and the venue... Well, it's great if it's a nice weather. And you can take a wild guess if the sky looks like it's gonna rain tonight. >:(

You know Shakira, right? So the La Tortura video... Oh dear lord. I don't know how many times I've said it, but I'll say it once more, because it pisses me off: The woman just can't dance. She can't. She looks like she's having a seizure! AAAAGH!!1
It's not dancing if you just wiggle your belly. It's not dancing if you just stagger about seemingly according to the rhythm. And it certainly is not dancing (and not the least bit sexy, at least in my opinion) if you cover yourself in fake motor-oil and throw yourself on the floor. But that's just me.

I re-arranged the Spinning -list on Ice-Ice (look at the navi -column if you haven't the slightest clue of what I speak of). Because it seemed more reasonable to put it like that. And since it's there, I might as well tell you that I can't imagine why I haven't noticed earlier that Midnight Oil is marvellous. I mean sure, Beds Are Burning, who wouldn't know that song, but maaaan... Bedlam Bridge, River Runs Red, Mountains of Burma... <3 <3

Furthermore I re-arranged my extremely spacious apartment on Thursday. It took me half the day. O_o And caused me a back that hurts like hell and arms that don't work properly. :D But I am a happeh monkey and I heart my apartment. It's much more .. sensible now. Plus I managed to place the book-cases so that my books actually fit in!
( Look )
I SO rule!

Talking about re-arranging still, Juk re-arranged me yesterday. w00t! Instead of a blond!Rika I am now a dark-purple!Rika. I feel much more at home being brunette (of variable color) than blond. Only bad thing is that my colors fit better with the blond (for some strange reason) so now I can't step out of my apartment (which by the way has a peculiar mixed scent of my spicy, warm perfume and Indian food O_o ) without black eyeliner. :D I don't much mind, tho, as I have a love affair with the thingy. Some might say I use it way too much, but hey, I love the smutty effect it has. /girl talk

Continuing on the randomity, isn't it just annoying when you are watching a film or something on the teeb and there is a song that seems awfully familiar? And then you watch the credits and spot the song and it doesn't ring any bells but you know you know it. Well, I was watching River Street Thursday night (hchello! Aden :wiggle: ) and there it was. Hallelujah, by Simon Austin (as told me by the ever-trustworthy IMDb), starting just before the credits. And I realised why the song had sounded so fucking familiar at the end of The OC's first season finale. Hawt daymn, I said aloud and then proceeded on digging up info on that series and it said it's Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. O_o Whatever, I said and managed to find my inner zen still. It had bugged me, when watching the said season finale. And now I finally managed to solve the problem. Ha! pwned!

And to conclude this random entry: Songs you should hear. (to which i'm currently addicted)
Boris Novkovic - Ajsa (thank you to my dear Iva <;3 )
Midnight Oil - Bedlam Bridge (it's midnight oil, man)
No Name - Zauvijek Moja (i don't get this one. it's shit & weird but i love it)
A-ha - Lifelines (what do you see? what do you know?)
September - Satellites (parteeehhh... )
Rihanna - Pon De Replay (i could dance this all night)
Röyksopp - Someone Like Me (one word: hypnotic)

ps. Whoever it said that I'm a bracelet whore
( is so totally out of line )

In case any of you wonder, I'm still alive. It just seems that summer, normally known as vacation time, has proven to be more busier for me than any other time of the year.

Me and Rei came to Kemi last Friday, after spending eight hours on the road. Now this wouldn't be worth mentioning, unless it had been two hours MORE than it usually takes to drive from Tampere to here. Fucking ppl who won't drive according to speed limits (the allowed + attitude, that is) but insist on driving EXACTLY 80 km/h on an 80 limit or better yet, 75 to make sure they don't get a ticket. What the fuck is WRONG with you ppl?!1 Anyway, we spent the evening and good part of the night in town here with Tinttu. And also we gave Juk the thingy we bought for her from Ikea... I think there will be a pic of it here, a wee bit later on... ;)

On saturday we went to Ma's (and to see Local Record Dealer, who has a shitload of U2 singles stashed for me) and as many of you know or remember, Ma has no connection to Teh Intarweb. So, thus I've been suffering from withdrawals and am very glad that I'm sitting at my pooter right now.

The reason I am at home with Rei and Ma's dogs is that yesterday Ma had to go to the hospital. O_O Apparently there is something funny (not ha-ha-funny) going on with her heart. I don't think it's serious, but it was something that they usually have on ER or something. O_O So we'll see how it goes and when I can get back to the regular pooter usage...

ps. Iva! Thnx for the SMS. :D When I stop worrying about Ma, I'm definately calling j00, because yay! \o/ cheaper deal! \o/

Yea.. so I got back home from Da's on Wednesday night. Popped by the Corner for a cup of coffee the first thing, how very surprising. ;) On Thursday me and Juk went for a walk. (now everybody gasp, plz. thnx.) 7.5 kilometers in a little over an hour. \o/ We so r0k! And my Reeboks r0k! It’s actually a project of ours, to try a bit of a healthier life after all the … drinking and pizza we consumed during the spring. O_o

I spent Friday and a part of Saturday at Ma’s and managed to pop by at Me Brother’s place. With Ma and the dogs. The dogs went apeshit, because they got to run free and all that. I was a bit worried tho, because the weather was hot liekwhoa and the dogs were panting and I always think that they’ll have a heartattack or something O_O. Turns out that there was a thunder rising. Heh. No wonder there was so little of oxygen in the air to breathe.

So anyways, yesterday me and Juk went to a friend’s birthday party (happy belated, Lotta! ), drank and ate and then went to our club and had probably the most boring night, liek ever. There MUST be something wrong if even Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers doesn’t get us to the dancefloor. I dunno. I personally feel that even after a few week’s break, I’m so fed up with clubbing. (ok, for now, not probably in a few weeks ;) )

Great thing is that next weekend is The Midsummer \o/ and even better thing is that I have made absolutely no solid plans for it! I have a few options, but nothing is confirmed :D I like that.

Yea. That’s about it. I’m feeling summer-lazy (you do know of what I speak, yes?) so I don’t feel much like writing. I’m thinking of a new layout also… And feel like an ass for not being on the Mes_ and talking to my ppl… :(

Wow.
*cries*

So Michael and Konstantin left already on Friday. Which me and Juk only found out on Saturday. Which in turn means that we never got the chance to say goodbye. Which sucks. Because it’s been omg SOMUCH fun. Now we have to like email them and haha, judging from the rate that one certain picture has moved towards my mailbox, Michael doesn’t even know how to use his. So I guess I go by the usual instances and bug poor Konstantin about it :D But just because they are weird different kind of pplz from… well anyone else, to be honest (haha, Sven’s diplomatic terms ;) ) I certainly hope that Murmansk is cold and dull for the two weeks the dudes will be there partying. I curse you! MUHAHAHAHA! ::evil cackling::
No, but honestly. It just pisses me off that I wasn’t able to say face to face how much fun it’s been stalking following hanging around with them. *sigh* But I guess not then. Surely hope they will participate in the Meeting that supposedly takes place in Belgium/Netherlands sometime during spring 2006. :)

Anyways, Saturday night was the last time that the Dutch were partying here (leaving on the 1st? 31st?) and we got a chance to talk to always so rude and cute Sven. And of course suggest that he’d take part in the Meeting next year. There was a lot of laughing going on, as well as some hugging and omg-I-will-miss-you’s (he started! :D )

Plus that our Parteeh-Belgian Olivier (omg yes, there’s the i in it! \o/ ) was also partying his last … well, party-night in here And because he’s obviously crazy in the head, the night turned out to be quite of the fun. He was asking for any news on our ‘holiday’ in Belgium and we had to tell him that omg we still need to fill out the papers completely and then we’ll know. Alltho Juk said and I agreed that no matter what, we’re going there. :D

Oh and har har, the bartender (and one of the owners) gave both of us two shots for free, because ‘you’re always here’. I don’t know if that is more good than worrying. ;)

*sigh* I know it will take a few days to sink in. The fact that the guys are like all gone. D: The stress of the whole spring is, however, already starting to ease. Which will lead to hysteric crying and then laughing (anyone seen The Chemical Brothers’ new video Believe? The end there, where the dude just sits on the street and laughs crazy, that’s me in a few days). Heh. It’s a good thing to know what to expect. And I’m telling you, it’s only the stress. I’ve cried for the goodbyes well in advance.

( Yup. Posting some pics then. (yes, emphasis being on some O_o) )

A few omg-worthy things from the weekend.

omg. I REALLY need a new layout for Ice-Ice. Rachel has been hanging about there for god knows how long. Two months and counting? This kind of thing never happens to me. I'm the layout-whore who changes layouts so often that people can't keep track.

omg. Me and Juk need a divorce or something. (!true really) We say things at the same time and our thoughts are similar in many occasions. And to make it even weirder: The associations that we make of random things are too often exactly the same.

omg. The third dude, the one who took a shitload of pictures last Friday, he's Vincenzo and he infact didn't leave with Antoine and Ambroise. I feel stupid. Liek rilly. *kicks self* Note to self: Stop making assumptions by the company people keep. (I'm afraid to even think what people assume of me considering the company I keep ;) )

omg. $dutch_exchange_student was acting like a complete arse on Friday (yes Sven, I mean mostly you). $dutch_exchange_student was close, liekrilly, of getting his ass kicked by $pissed_off_jackdaw. But:

omg. $dutch_asshole_exchange_student = $dutch_exchange_student if $date=saturday. There was an apology for the assy behaviour. I rule and Juk rocks.

omg. Vincenzo and Olivier (I hope it is with the i in the middle... D: ) are such darlings! :D me and Juk had so much fun with them on Saturday night after they made appearance in the club. There was a lot of 'So when are you coming to Belgium? We'll have crazy parties there! You have to come! It will be so nice to see you again!' going on. And when they left, Olivier waved us goodbye and said 'Yah, if we don't see you next week, we'll see you next year in Belgium. If you ever want to go out when you get there, call us and well go together.' <3 Can I get an awwwww-omg-he's-such-a-darling? Thank you.

omg. Vincenzo promised to send me the pics that he took. \o/

omg. Still nothing from Michael. I apparently need to write him a manual on how to use the email. I mean sure, if there is no pic, just send an email that says 'omg I dunhavit.' And that's it. If there infact is a pic (like I was told), it wouldn't be too hard to stick it as an attachment to the email, type in my addy (which he has, since I've sent him email) and click on Send. Everyone can do that, right? Excuse me for a while, I think I shall march to the student dorms and open a can of whoop-ass on one ... $morko. *bangs head with hammer*

omg. We have now (that's me and Woifey) decided that we infact will be Belgium-bound come the end of 2005. I already picked up a few forms from our teacher Soili *hair-raise* that we need to fill up and return to her. Most interesting question: 'Why should you be sent as an exchange student abroad?' O_o After pondering long and hard, I came up with the following answer: 'I am an open person who gets along with people well. I think studying abroad would be ideal to get the most out of my education, and improve my language skills. This would also be a great opportunity to make international connections that might prove to be useful in the future, when getting a job after graduation.' (STOP LAUGHING!) I think I like that one. Yah. (if it's too much of a ... eurovision, let me know ;) )

I think there's enough omg's for one entry. Except that omg I might need to dump My Serbian Porn PopStar Hubby and marry Hayden Christensen. <3

And omg. I have ESC finals taped from last night, because tehRika = clubbing. I haven't seen the thingy, but I do know that Elena Paparizou of Greece won. I fear that I might even agree on the winner, except that I have hated the chorus from the first time I heard the song. O_o

*sigh*

So Friday night was both fun and sad. It was the last night that the Belgians were here. *heartbreak* Which means that it’s more or less two down, four to go. I hate it.

But, as Antoine and Ambroise (omg I hope I didn’t misspell the names like I misspelled misspell) are omg cuteh! and omg-times-infinty nice, there was a wee afterparty after the sodding club was closed. We were just sitting outside around a fire and drinking beer. After which I offered the guys a ride back to their student dorm (omg shitty shitty place at least if there’s no Nemiroff involved…) so they could get a few hours of z’s before the train left. There was significant amount of hugging and kissing going on in the yard, to tell you the truth and I almost didn’t bear to let neither of the guys go. Anyways, no tears were shed (at that moment O_o) and me and Juk waved the guys goodbye (hee, last words from the guys: See you next year! which means that we just HAVE to go to Belgium for the spring 2006 ;) )

Anyways. There were some pics taken in the club and the afterparty. Some of them with Juk’s camera and some of them with a camera that belonged to one dude, whose name I just cannot remember for the life of me D: because I’ve talked to him like only once and omg I feel SO stupid now… Where was I? Oh, yes. Pics. Yes. There were also email-addy-trading going on so I’m in the hopes that the pics will ACTUALLY switch owners (unlike in the case of one Michael… )

Yah. Some pics then. Because nobody really has the patience to read my boring yaddi-yadda /self-diss ;)

( Pics )

Juk’s toaster exploded this morning O_O There were flashing lights and sparkles flying, followed by a wee thread of smoke rising. Wow. Great. I think it means that I should really start spending time home, as it is apparent that the toaster is overused. In case someone has missed it, I’ve been crashing in Juk’s for the past… four weeks? Eeeks. Not that I have anything against it, on the contrary, it’s spring and there’s such a lot going on that it’s easier to crash in the same place and talk about the things than try to do it over the phone/Mes_. Heh.

There’s so little of school left. Like next week only. And no sign of job for the summer. Fuck. Life is expensive and I could’ve used not only the money, but also the hours. I need to have twelve months of training in order to graduate. And as it is, I have none. Tho if I’d get the opportunity to work abroad, it would only be six months…

The thing that scares me the most is that Certain Someones are fleeing the country at the end of May. D: I know I sound obsessive and weird and stupid, but omg. D: It’s like, dude… At the end of May that’s it. Like ya know, it. Bye-bye and nothing after that. D: D: I don’t know wheather I should cry or laugh. My god.

Oh sod it, I don’t give a fuck who sees this…

< begin obsessive ranting >
I’m not in love. I’m not in anything really. I just enjoyed enormously being in the company of the dudes. Regardless that I am a total ass most of the times and try to appear wiser and wittier than I really am, ending up only looking even more of a boob. It’s killing me to think that there wouldn’t be anything else than the weirdness that is going on at the moment (and omg this is weird). I don’t want to leave it all hanging in the air and not have … even a somekind of conclusion to all this. Things happened in March and things happened in April, some of the things that happened, I’m not too proud of, but it doesn’t mean that I am some psycho-stalker (well ok, I may appear as such, but ya know) But if it is so that there will be no sightings of Certain Someones in fairly normal surroundings, such as bars or school, I will get medieval on their arses and goddammit, I will sit at the airport just to exchange some final words. (yes, consider this a s a warning, you sodding creeps, because I know you read this :D )

Bottom line is that I’ve had more fun this spring than in a long time. And it’s mainly because the dudes brought some life to it. I think I have the right to be a little obsessive. Anyone who thinks I don’t, may keep their yaps shut, because I’m not in the mood of getting any negative feedback.

omg it’s only four weeks. I know I’m gonna fall to pieces.

< /obsessive ranting >

I think I’ll be on the rag soon. Fuck I hate hormones. I hate moodswings and I hate the fact that I’m a whiny sack of loserness.

‘cuse me. I’m off to post this before I have second thoughts about what I said and get all paranoid about it.
