THIS IS SPARTA!

Yes, I have just seen the movie 300. It was a fabulous, epic, utterly awesome film, and if you haven't seen it yet, you must go watch it as soon as you can.
And even if you have seen it... heck, go see it again. It's definitely worth it. *wibble*


TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!

A moment ago, I asked my mother a question you might expect to hear from the mouth of a five-year-old, maybe a ten-year-old... but definitely not from a twenty-year-old.

"Can I keep it as a pet?"

It was a spider. :P

Random happy diary note:

My shirt smells like Jukka, just a bit but still enough. Purrrr. <3

It's ridiculous how one rating can affect me so much. One.
I'd just posted, and a moment later I get a rating. Number says 0.05, so the person who rated the writing gave it a 1. Do you know what 1 is in WritersCo ratings?

"Utter rubbish not worth the read."

I know it's just one person, and it shouldn't be such a big deal, but... I got all depressed anyway. *sigh*

So much for that good mood.

OMGSOCUTE!!!! it deserves Caps and three four exclamation marks. *is goo*

Why me? <_<

Ehh. Why do people vote for their own entry, even though that's universally frowned upon - not to mention expressly forbidden in the contest rules? It's as if they're begging to be disqualified, or doing it out of spite because they know I'll give a warning first.

Well, you know what? I'm done with warnings, from now on if someone votes for their own entry in a contest of mine, they're immediately disqualified, no matter how good the entry. It's there in the rules, people should learn how to read. It can't be that bloody hard.

Oh, and I'm banning [Yami] from any future contests of mine for a while.

For your information, having to choose between two selection exams sucks. I got picked for the exams of both the restaurant school Perho and Koulutuskeskus Salpaus, but the exams are on the same day, so I had to decide which one to attend... Bleh. <_<
Well, I guess it's Perho.

Our Imaginary Friends <- Vote, biatches!

Hmm. Have to come up with a new contest. Hm hm hm.

Not even one little hatemail. I'm severely disappointed in these people. :P
Brownie points go to [nokaredes] for responding at all. :3

Well, then. I think I'll have to do something next year, too.

If I don't get any hate mail about today's DP slot from the more hotblooded patrons, I'll be gravely disappointed. xD

I'm going to try and go through with the challenge I thought about setting myself earlier this month.
So, as of tomorrow, I'll attempt to write something each day for the month of April - at least one poem or description or short story. I do have to make an early start, since I've foolishly left some contest entries at Writersco for the last day... but nevermind that, the challenge still only starts tomorrow.
If you'd like to help me, you can give me words, titles, general subjects or even images to be used as prompts - and if you do, I'll set myself this rule: I can only use a prompt on the day I receive it, and not once afterwards during the month. Of course, I can't put such a restriction on words, but with images it can be done.

I hope I'll succeed in this. Sooo... wish me luck? :3

Watching this almost makes me cry - but it almost kind of makes me want to do something like that. And I'm not especially fond of touching strangers... Heh.
You can do it, too. http://www.freehugscampaign.org/

Two longish and pointless quizzes. You have been warned.

Stolen from [Firenze] who stole it from [Ocean Soul] who stole it from [Jitter]. [Elegy - gone] stole it from Ocean, and [Teufelsweib] stole it from Jitters. In other words... I'm late!

The Rules Are As Follows
1. You shall put your music player on shuffle.
2. You shall press forward for each question.
3. You shall use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn't make sense. NO CHEATING!
4. You shall tag 5 people and rain hell upon humanity.
5. You shall give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.

How are you feeling today?
Queen - Princes of the Universe
Hmm... not really. Some other day maybe.

Will you get far in life?
Basement Jaxx - Good Luck
Okay. So whatever comes, at least I'll have a goodluck wish?

How do your friends see you?
Hellsing - Sky of God Master
Eh? o___O Somehow I doubt this. xD

What is your best friend's theme song?
Evangelion - Jikai Yokoku
Well, I've no idea what it means so...

What is the story of your life?
Chobits - Midnight Voyage
Yes, I travel in the dark... I've been finding some more light recently, though.

What is high school like?
Excel Saga - Sanjuuro no omoide Part 2
Ummm?

How can you get ahead in life?
Rip Slyme - Funkastic
Yes yes, you must... be funky?

What is the best thing about your friends?
Unknown artist - PAPA Plastic
They're made of plastic, they're dolls, they never argue back! Riiiiiight. Not. I luff my fwends. <3

What is in store for this weekend?
Full Moon Wo Sagashite - Sora Wo Miagete
As I understand, it's something along the lines of 'Looking at the sky' so... I'll be stargazing? Okay, could be worse. It's rather a nice thought, and a nice way to spend time.

How is your life going?
Taku Iwasaki - Silence
It's silent and slow. Suffocatingly silent, even? This song is creepy-depressing, anyway.

What song will they play at your funeral?
Escaflowne - Wings
Awww. This is so fitting! I always have wanted to fly... *sighs wistfully*

What do your friends really think of you?
Unknown artist - Gotta knock a little harder
Hrm. Does this mean to say I should speak up more, grow a spine? 'Cause if it does, I have a feeling it's right. :P

Do people secretly lust after you?
Evangelion - Tokyo 3
*blink* O-kay... So people in Third Tokyo would lust after me?

How can I make myself happy?
.hack//SIGN - Who am I
Gee. Find out who you are, find your happiness... I'm trying, ya know. Tell me something new.

What should you do with your life?
Rurouni Kenshin - Talk to the Moon
I should become a werewolf, eh? That sounds kinda depressing...

Will you ever have children?
L'Arc~en~Ciel - I'm so happy
So happy to... have children? To not have children? What? o_O
