17:58 — Yes... the first thing they teach in basic computer science is... how to use IRC in the class! It was this close that I didn't start drawing, but somehow I just felt that I'm perfectly good just sitting there.
I'm trying to draw something from The Left Hand of Darkness. Wish me luck. Drawing scenes or just characters from books is very demanding... I've tried at least once before, and failed miserably, which greatly decreased my urge to draw book characters. But here I go again...

20:49 — I started in the Technical University of Tampere yesterday. Tomorrow I'll have my first university lesson. They have a role-playing club. I think I'll go take a look at it. I wonder if they have an art or writing club.
I had a weird dream (or nightmare) not last night, but the night before that, I think. In the dream, I had problems with my right big toe. I could see the veins and goo, generally the inside of my foot from that piece. The weirder part was that my real foot was IN there, like it was a sock, but it was just the big toe and the next two toes. The thing also behaved like a sock, because it rolled down a bit sometimes. I was there, looking at it and going: "This can't be real." But I still didn't figure that it was a stupid dream! I think I want it to be real. Just to get something exciting into my life. Sad, eh? And in real life, I have some very small trouble with my LEFT big toe. Yay... Well, I've never been very good at telling left and right apart.

And Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness is a wonderful book.

17:10 — I and a few other mods had a really long and frantic conversation about what's offensive (yes, a picture to be modded started it), and ended up discussing swastikas and burning crosses. Well, I won't go into that, but I started thinking about swastikas. If you don't mind that it represents Nazis, i. e. try to forget it and stuff, I think it's a really neat symbol/mark thing. I just like it. I wish I could use it, but in nowaday's world, I just couldn't get away with it no matter how much I claimed that the mark doesn't represent Nazis. Sigh. Oh well...

00:45 — I just tried to kill yet another wart. I have altogether three of them. All teeny tiny. The one of interest is the one on my toe.
Aren't my diary entries just exciting, or what?

20:31 — Holy crapmonkeys. Today I drove my mom to the health care center. She has something wrong in a nerve or something. Later I had to drive my mom's miniature soccer players to a game, and I had to stay there because the drive home was longer than the game. Not only that, but it was hellishly hot, there were hellisly lot of mosquitoes (I've been eaten! Argh!) and I had to take photos of them. And then drive back. Gngngngn.

22:37 — Argh! Just when I thought "yes, the pizza place is still open and my dad agreed to order a pizza", NO, the place won't get the pizzas to us! ARRRGNGNGN I'm hungry and I want pizza!

00:58 — Today I've mostly been building the new clothes shelf/closet my mom got for our hall. My hand is hurting from all the screwdriving, my fingers are just sore, my feet hurt and my knees have exploded from crawling around the floor. On the other hand, it does feel like I'm playing with a huge lego set. Adult legos! Not only that, but I'm ALSO useful for my parents. Whoopee.
I tried to kill yet another wart. It's a really tiny one on the ball of my left foot. I'm not sure what's come of the one on my right foot... I tried to kill it, and I looked like it might have died, but now it doesn't look that different. Hm. Oh well.
I pondered joining MAX or CMAX. I'd like to have my characters drawn, and I don't really mind drawing others' characters... especially when in this business I tend to be from the erm... slightly better end. But the last thing I want to see are my precious characters drawn in bad manga style... Oh the contradiction. Anyone want to do an art trade?

23:53 — My parents got home today. Finally some real food... but not until tomorrow. All of our family will rot at home for three weeks, and after that my parents will go to their jobs, my little brother to high school and little sister to junior high. I'll start at university a week or two later.
Apparently my mom is going to organize a darn huge ceremony for my getting out of high school... it's kind of ridiculous. There's going to be 19 people, I think. Õ_Ô Urrh... My family (5), my parents' friends' family (5), my aunt's family (5), my uncle's family (3) and my grandmother (1). OMFG. I think I'll drive to Jyväskylä and hide there.

23:50 — Ninja Gaiden. Today I played to the final boss (at least I think it's the final one) and I don't have any elixirs, save for one that'll return magic energy. Yay. Well... I might be able to beat it using all fireballs, but... Got to see that later.
Our house has been invaded by ants (namely the toilet and also the place where the laundry machine and dryer are and which we use to pass down to the gaming/TV room). Ants. In the toilet. And my parents aren't here to do anything about it, so we keep vacuuming them.

00:03 — Rant rant. Ninja Gaiden. In Chapter 9 there's a save station in the Locomotive Turntable area. No problem. Well, I went into the next room and the doors were locked. I beated two tanks (sub-boss things). Okay... doors still not open. Well, I don't have any elixirs left but I already defeated the sub-boss, so let's move on. I went to the Overpass area and goodi! there was a save station. Maniacal saving. Well, I only have an inch of energy left and only one great elixir, but that shouldn't be a problem, I already fought the sub-boss. Well, I go beat the next two thugs and absorb some energy from them, and whoopee, I've got a darned helicopter up at me! Well, it shoots homing missiles at me... when I evade the first one, the last one will hit me, AND it shoots at me 2–3 series of 4 missiles at once! As if that wasn't bad enough, Ryu's aim stinks. I can't say I'd be much better, but come on. Even the thugs I just killed could aim better. Well, that was pretty much it. I probably died around 200 times on that scene, either on the helicopter or the thugs who also had missile launchers. That was two or three days ago. Today I passed it and found the shop! Goodie, I already had like 5 scarabs and 25000 money units since the last store.
Just for the record, I'm now fighting two über-cute giant worms! *squee*

00:13 — More ranting. We're leaving for Joensuu tomorrow. The thing I go there to do is drive 420 km there, pick my little brother and drive 420 km back. But, my mom wants me to visit all my relatives! I just wonder why. They know how I look like (it's not like I would change so much after finishing growing) and they can ask how I'm doing over the ohone (which they already do). On top of that, I'm bad at speaking in person, so I'm always more or less a disappointment anyway. And if that's not enough, I don't really want to see my relatives either. I don't like the views of life my mother's family has, and I've never heard my father's family actually asking me to go there. For me, that trip is 3 days of nothing to do 420 km away from my computer! Plus, I can't even sleep in my own bed! And my mom said I can't drive back on Tuesday evening because of MOOSE (elks? Whatever). Moose. Seriously. I figure they've ran into a moose every time they've driven at summer late in the evening. It's not like I have good vision, better than they have, or that I get really sick in direct sunshine (in which I will be unless I drive at night), or that there are 10 times more cars moving at daytime. Somebody please explain to me. I want to be home, write, draw, play, watch movies and surf the net. I can't do any of these properly elsewhere. I want to stay home.

03:42 — OK. My parents' friend and two of his kids came over today to sleep. The kids are in [Gastogh]'s room but the dad is sleeping in the living room. Stars, WHAT A SNORING! I'm not really sure if I should laugh or cry. I've still got to hear whether it penetrates a closed door without computer noise. We'll see.
I'm darn tired. I don't know why. And I ate darn too many cookies today. Sugar.
I saw the tiniest boobs of movie history on TV today. A woman's boobs, that is. I'm actually wishing I could see them again. They looked a LOT better than the general bigger-than-my head movie boobs.
Do I sound weird yet? Good. I played too much Ninja Gaiden today too. And beat that darned big-boobed Fiend.
See how I've talked about today? Change that to yesterday. It's quarter to 4 in the midday.

04:23 — I had fun tonight. I played Ninja Gaiden for about three hours, worked on two drawings and talked to one mod a LOT about stories and stuff. It's really late now though...

00:05 — Found out there's another tiny wart on my sole, but this one actually hurt. I tried to kill it, and by the weird feeling down there I think it worked this time. The first one I tried to kill is still there. Scary...
I passed a police car yesterday when I was driving. XD

22:54 — I was at Finncon today. The trip there took exactly two hours and two minutes. I passed a police car. XD I went there because fellow Finnish mods asked me to, and I had a pretty good time in there. The trip back took exactly two hours and it was raining rather hard... especially when observed from a car going 110 km/h. Now my feet hurt and I'm really tired. Well, it was worth it. =)
