Should anyone feel inclined to make something of this image here, gimme a nudge. <URL:stuff/lamiscarf10.jpg>

Opinions on le new house? xD
I'll probably put something more there tomorrow...

I like this one. With a little bit of editing it turned out quite nice.

For non-Finns, the caption translates to be something along the lines of "seriously, goddammit".

*bashes head in* ME SO STUPID >_<

_{*cough* As you were.}

Would anyone be willing to draw a portrait of yours truly in the action of writing that I could then also make into an LJ icon? I'd compensate by way of crafting a notebook or jewellery, or cooking up a story.

Stolered, since this made the rounds once again. Don't think I've answered it before though.

Name 10 random facts about you.
1. My memory is like a sieve and completely random.
2. Apparently, I change the people I let near me, or at least some of them. It's probably nothing out of the ordinary, but it feels special to know.
3. I still berate myself about things that happened years ago.
4. I'm really bad at keeping diaries. Every time I start a new one, I update a lot. Then, sooner or later, it gets rather sporadical.
5. I'm avoidant like woah and may even seem rude because of it.
6. My rhythm is pretty fucked up. As a result and due to other contributing factors, I'm tired all the time.
7. I am bi-curious.
8. Never gave a rat's ass about fashion, though I do care about what I look like - in my own eyes, mostly. If it's good enough for me, it damn well better be good for everyone else.
9. I'm a slasher and proud of it.
10. I can't bloody swim properly, and it's embarrassing.

I have the meat pie song, or its melody, from Sweeney Todd stuck in my head now. Omgwut?

I'm worried sick about a couple of perfectly unknown people. I met these two siblings at the central railway station while lounging on a window sill, writing to kill time as I waited for my bus. A boy in a hoodie walked past me, dragging his right leg, and sat on one of the computer chairs a metre or two away. We glanced at each other, but I didn't really pay him much attention. Then this young woman with a heavy-looking backpack around the corner, moving and looking for all the world like she was dead tired. She sat at the stool that I'd used to get on the sill after asking whether I would have some coins to spare. Then proceeded to tell me they'd been going around town since Sunday, and with no place to stay, had barely slept or eaten, he with a badly healed break in his leg and a hell of a cough, she on highly incovenient heeled shoes. And I'm talking five or six inch gothic lolita footwear here. I know it could have been merely a clever ruse, made real by some darn good acting, but I believed her. So I gave her what little change I had, and offered him a drink since I happened to have my water bottle with me. She took off soon enough, to see if she could find someone to give her a bit more money. He sat on the sill with me for a couple of minutes in silence, then went after her. I couldn't help but worry, and as I agonised over what to do, I missed the bus. I went back in to wait for the next one, and saw them again some ten or fifteen minutes later. She was walking towards the doors, spotted me, smiled in a pained fashion and called out that they were going to go sit at a McDonald's since the railway station would close soon. I made my decision then and there - truth be told, I'd thought of it while they were elsewhere - and ran after them. I offered the water bottle to the boy, telling he could keep it. I went back inside for a moment, then figured I might as well go outside to the stops to wait and saw them moving slowly away from the station. He had an arm around her shoulders, as if she was supporting him. I hope they can find someone else to help them further. I would've given them a roof and a bed for the night, but our house is in a rather inconvenient location, and I'm not sure how my family would have welcomed them. Admittedly, I was also worried they might be tempted to steal something - desperate times, desperate measures, you know? But I do truly wish I could have done more.
Their lives only touched mine for, what, maybe ten minutes, fifteen at best, but they got to me. In that short time, I started to genuinely care. It could well be that I'm simply a naivë fool, but that's just as well. At least I'm prepared to do something. And yes, I do think I'm a good person for this. That ain't wrong, is it now? Granted, I will eventually forget about them. Maybe even this very week. But for now, they're on my mind and strongly at that.

Maybe I'll be able to meet them tomorrow if I go to Hyvinkää. If I go. Depends on the weather, really.

Rose! Levels, hue-saturation, softglow filter.

Um. Um. Hi.
I think I just had a fabulous art overload. Seriously.

First look through their gallery. Then look through their favourites. It's just... woah. Uh. Yeah. Bye now.
*goes off in a slight daze*

This is just a random crappy lecture doodle. That much is true. But it also happened to turn out the most expressive face I've drawn, ever. If you're familiar with my 'art' you'll have seen that all the characters up until now have had a nigh blank visage. This may not be progress and instead just a happy exception, but it made me want to show it to people in all its crudeness.

It also seems that laptop can't handle too much of toddling around town, as it has given me BSoD from Gaia three or four times already. Something's not quite right with Femke, but BOVAD.
I'll just play ten or fifteen minutes at a time, or something. Only a matter of weeks or even days when I get bored with it anyhow xD

Well this is just silly. I joined GaiaOnline tonight, just to see what attracts so many people to it - and find myself completely unable to furnish my house. Macromedia Flash Player or whatever doesn't work on Firefox, or at least it wouldn't install. So I go and open the site on IE (that I hate, loathe, detest - you get the picture), install the stupid Adobe toy, and it works. Only it doesn't. It won't load! Argh. Before you ask, no, refreshing the page does not help. Tried that already. Twice.
Guess I'll just go houseless then. Or, to be precise, with an empty house.

It is over.
Do not feel sorry, for it is better this way.

For those online at the time: Sorry for the million update notices on my bio. Was battling with code. <_<

Only ~80 more words! Yaaaagh!

An hour later: Bleh, finally. It rather sucks, but at least I got it finished...

Gah, writing a 500-word article on fan fiction is harder than I imagined. If it was in English, I probably wouldn't have so much trouble, but in Finnish? Bah.
This just means that I'm out of practice...with writing in my own mother tongue. It would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic. xD
