I'm starting a diary feature. From now on, I will make a Word of the Day post every evening. I hope it will be of some use, whether that be entertaining or educating. They will be picked mostly at random, and will be in the form of a Dictionary.com link. Now, with no further ado...

Heads up, craftspeople!

Relating to the previous entry...

So. I already enquired on the contest pages, but I've gained at least a couple of new stalkers since the original ones were held... Would people be interested in repeats of the Bird Photography Contest and the Pick a Prompt Contest?

Sweet serendipity
to find on your path
such strong conviction,
unwavering faith;
although paper-thin
this veneer, your one
beloved illusion of truth
is the heart of the enigma:

You, immersed
in your epic quests
holding steady
against so many nefarious plots
to take this reality away.

The chemist from room 3 moved out today. I don't blame her, living in a single flat is probably much nicer. I do mourn the fact that we (the remaining two occupants) no longer have a microwave oven or a shower curtain. Sure, we can live without those for a couple of days... okay, I can live without those for a couple of days. The other one goes home every weekend, the lucky bastard. But perhaps she can at least acquire a shower curtain for us.

Featured Story

*cringes* I added a person on Facebook who I thought might've been him, and sent a message. Apparently was someone else entirely. Fucking embarrassed now...

It was silly anyways. *goes find a wall to bash her head against*

Last night, I slow danced for the first time in my life. I was actually asked a few times, but always declined... I'll admit that someone had caught my eye and I was trying to gather up the courage to go ask him. He disappeared from sight before I had the chance, though. And of course I didn't feel like dancing with just anyone. Then this another guy appeared before me and simply extended his hand. I thought for a second or two, probably tilted my head. He was cute, though, with shoulder-length black hair and a goatee, tall, very lean. And I thought 'Aaahh, what the hell, let's go' and took his hand. He raised it as if he were going to kiss it (didn't, though - shame that :P) and led me to the floor. Then came the pathetic part where I didn't really know how to dance, stepped on his foot a couple of times, and was too shy to even look at him in the face. He did take both of my hands in his and sort of bowed when the song was over, thanking me, so maybe it wasn't all bad.

It just bugs me like hell that I didn't even look at him, talk to him, or get his name... and that I'm probably never going to see him again.

Ah well. If I work on Tuomo, maybe I'll get him to dance with me.


Also, I feel like a fucking teenager (ironic because the bar's age limit was 22) but I figure I'm allowed... what with being socially dysfunctional and never really going anywhere. But I've now made a deal with my cousin to go out dancing with her when I'm around.

I'm thinking about a tattoo for one of my wrists. So far, my ideas are the following:
a) ankh
b) eternity knot
c) spiral of life

Yes, this has very much to do with strength, evolution of self, life, and staying alive. A tangible reminder.

Damn Seagulls gig = love. As always.
Got the new album autographed, too. Lauri is awesome. :3

Random observation, one that I've made to myself a few times before: I'm happier in bright weather. Srsly. I seem to be more likely to be in a good mood when the sky is clear and the sun is shining (or the stars are showing). I'm sure this is nothing even close to rare, but it's interesting.

Btw, the paintings arrived. Thank you muchos [Levoton] <3

I've always liked the odd Bruce Springsteen song or another when I hear his stuff on the radio, but I never actually looked for it before. Now I did, and I'm really digging it. One of the benefits of having a crush: it expands my musical horizons.

Holy shite I think it might be crap. Or not? Maybe? Yes? No?


Speak the names of stars and I gaze down
from my silently laughing journey
Offer a smile, let me kiss it
take our breath so suddenly away
Oh, do not talk, just dance with me
and let the world sway to a fade
