14:24 — Squee. The lecturer for the basic digital electronics course (who also checked my coursework), said that my documentation on the coursework was very good and made it very easy to follow! Also, the digital signal processing course is going down the drain. I have no idea whatsoever what is going on in there and I can't do the exercises because that would require that I understand some of the stuff. Still, I can do the Matlab exercises with the help of the assistant and while I still don't understand anything, at least I learn new Matlab commands.

15:54 — It's weird, but I think I've started to enjoy stupid people. They're always there to remind me how much superior I am and I get an ego boost. Oooh yeah.
In other news, I've been RPing like crazy. I stayed up until about 5 last night. I don't know how I'll managed to drag myself up tomorrow at 8... I should've stayed up through the night.

18:09 — Sometimes I put my hand on my head and forget it there. Eventually I start wondering where it is and border on panic, before I notice the cold stinging feeling coming from it and I remember where I left it. Funny, eh? I drove my mom's miniature soccer players around today and finally understood the meaning of "gossip". Omg.

01:54 — I'm having too much fun again. I should be getting up at 5:30 to go to uni... maybe NOT! *squees at RPGs* Whee. And drawing! Definitely!
Darn, my jaw hurts... and this gum is so tasteless. been chewing it for some hours already. Look at the post below, by the way. I was chewing gum then as well. About 5 hours.

04:06 — Holy fuck it's 4 in the morning gah. >_> Er, yeah. I've been RPing and RPing and RPing and whining. My day, when it comes to interaction between mods, was just saved by one of them who actually agreed to look at my pictures and liked them. She saved my day, yay. ^_^ Besides that, I'm having way too much fun RPing. I squee.

23:45 — It's been a rather nice day today. I cleaned our shower room, which was a bother but at least I did it, and after it I felt good. XD Also, I drew some stuff, and lazied around, which is always nice. However, there was one thing that almost ruined my mind: one online friend of mine said she really wasn't impressed at all about the idea of genderlessness. And since she is a rather close friend, I was a bit hurt, to put it lightly. The genderless thing is probably my best and most awesome idea that I love myself and appreciate to no end, so hearing (or more like seeing) something like that from a friend just... isn't good.
Well, it was balanced out by a friendly channelful in Elfchat, they enjoyed the pics I was offering. =D

07:57 — And today morning there were awesome bright blue things in the sky. They looked like clouds first, but they changed too fast to be coulds. Then again, they moved like clouds at times, but some of them were clearly letting the starlight through them. I noticed them when I was driving to school. I could've paid more attention toward the road but well, the lights were so watchable. When I got to school, I looked at the sky and they were indeed just coulds, or were in that place. Some of them had looked more like northern lights. And they were bright blue!
In another news, our connection at home was down again and even several reboots of the router and the computers couldn't save it. So I left to school about 20 minutes early. I've been sitting here over half an hour. XD

16:13 — I've been pretty cold today. I think I fell asleep or lost consciousness or something on the signal processing lecture. So I left after the first lecture and came home an hour early. Yay.

22:46 — Oh my fucking stars. Tonight threre were (are) absolutely fabulous northern lights in here. They're flashing all over the WHOLE SKY, mostly white but greenish and a bit reddish too. They change fast and go through the whole sky, even in the south and all.
And I stood there outside in 0°C. I had just taken a shower so my hair was wet, plus I was wearing my night clothes (shorts and a T-shirt). I stood there HALF AN HOUR, sharp.
Those were the best northern lights I've seen and remembered this far. At one point the whole sky was changing at the same time! It was almost like daylight momentarily! And we were at the center of it, even if we live in a place like this!
I stare in awe. Wow.

In other news, school is pissing me off and I got a new gallery: http://veltzeh.sheezyart.com/

22:30 — Update on my workload. Let's see... advanced math, advanced physics, circuit analysis and digital signal processing. I countinuously get homework from those, and the exercies are usually hard. In addition to that, I'm pretty much completely out in math, utterly confused in signal processing, too careless and clueless in physics and way too lazy in circuit analysis. I'm not getting my homework done. I'm really going to have to study when the exams come.
Digital electronics. Homework there too, but I'm getting my homework done okay enough. Now here's the funny part. I need to do a course work... design a device that'll flash my student number on one 7-segment light thing. You know,

 _
|_|
|_|

Wow, and I'm actually getting the hang of it, I think. But I only have a bit more than a week of time to do it.
Non-school related... I'm supposed to be drawing my RPG comic. It's not really getting anywhere. Also, there are two people for whom I should've drawn pictures ages ago and I just don't get around it. Sigh. And I have a million drawings and comics of my own to do. Not to mention writing, which gets me to the next issue: NaNoWriMo.
I'm not a very good writer and my biggest story, THOH (150 k) is the result of seven years of work. For nano you's have to write 50 k in a MONTH. It's a noble goal but I don't really think I'm up to it. Especially since it's specifically in NOVEMBER. Probably the worst month you could pick. Well, one of the worst. One mod tried to get me into it (well, that was a month ago), but I can't, first reason being that I'm too busy with school. Second that I can't write if I have to write. Third, I'm too bad at writing anyway. From NaNoWriMo we go to NaNoMangO, which is basically the same thing, except you have to do 30 comic pages. They organize it both on November and June. I'd so have liked to take part in it, but my schoolwork prevents me. Sigh. Maybe I can do it in June. Then again, if I HAVE to draw something, especially if it's that big a thing, I'm likely to not do anything. Sigh. Sigh sigh sigh.
Here I sit role-playing.
I'm also doing a PSP coloring tutorial for FARP. Three of them. One might be finished quite soon.

13:26 — Just because I can, I'll list the characters I've played in RPGs.
I applied to two rather random RPGs without getting in. The first was a MUD, and now that I look back at my character application, it's pretty clear why they didn't accept it. Then again, I wasn't given adequate info as to how create the character. The other I almost got in, but at the last moment they first told I can't have a character named Kim because they had had a stupid player by that name, and the other reason was that they didn't let in people under 18. I was over 17 at the time. Yay.

Er, yes. The characters I actually played:

Dead X-Men PBEM:
Kim-like character
Jean Grey

Dead sci-fi PBEM:
Kereko

Dead X-Men Evolution:
Another Kim
Xavier

Twins in a game that never exactly even started

X-Men United (I left the game):
Rem (killed him)
William (don't know what's happened to him)
Waya (was invited back for a time to play a fight scene...)
Beast (I'm the ultimate NPC-controller...)
I'm pretty sure I played Xavier.

X-Men RP:
Kaider
Myetel
Xavier (Why do I always end up playing him?))
plus other NPCs

AWLMountain:
Tkare

Realms of Lemire:
Tylien
Ke'rodre

Realms of Lemire Arena:
Tylien

16:03 — Just for the record, I left to school at 7 and the lectures ended at 12. I'd have signal processing lectures from 14 to 16, but well... I sat around the computer class for half an hour, then went to buy some paper and stuff and took them to the car so I wouldn't have to carry them around. On the way there, I just went: "Do I have a reason to stay for the lecture? No. Bye." And off I went.
"Farewell..." by Dreamtale. Squee. I seriously like that androgynous singing voice.

21:17 — Speaking of androgynes... I snatched this piece of quotes from a channel (did a bit of googling and it seems to be a piece of song ("World of glass", was it...) by Tristania):
"I'll fulfil all your dreams
Every fantasy
I will be
What you need
Satisfaction guaranteed"

That so sounds like a certain character from a certain book... eh, yeah...

22:21 — Omg.

11:19 — You do not know the meaning of hilariously pathetic until you've seen Sailor Moon dubbed in Swedish with Finnish subtitles. XD Unbelievable. Now I've seen everything.
I need to rant on voting. And homework. Oh and my writing. And nanowrimo.

21:25 — AAAARGH! Nothing is worse than two hours of involuntary internet downtime!!!

22:28 — Scratch the two hours. THREE hours. I almost died. I walked around the house aimlessly eating two cookies and played a card game with [Gastogh] and [Levoton]. Whew. Well, the fact that we caught the last episode of the third season of Farscape made it a little better.
I just cleaned out my desk. You wouldn't believe how much petrofied stuff there was in there! I even found all the papers I though I didn't get from the university four months ago. Teaches me to read the stuff when it's sent to me. Oh well. Despite the downtime, I didn't manage to get any homework done.

20:44 — I went to see "I, robot" today. The most striking thing to me was, that... it. had. NO. FUCKING. ROMANCE. WHATSOEVER!!!
I am so freaking happy. The worst thing you could do to any movie is the addition of stupid frigging romances that just make the darn movie inconvenient.

00:52 — Yesterday and the day before that I had this INFERNAL piece of popcorn stuck apparently between two teeth and the gums in my mouth. It hurt and stinged! I tried to get it out several times, ny nails, dental floss, sticky candy and tongue resulting in no result or more pain. I wonder why I didn't try with a toothpick. Tonight my mom suggested a toothpick and there I went... And it got out. All hail to Murphy's Law.
I watched the last episode of Total Recall. I was tired and it seemed a little boring, but stars, did it wake me up during the last minutes! Yep, I could call it a good series.

13:02 — Yesterday morning I left at about 7:15 to school... My mom had been warning me how slippery it might be near Lielahti. I knew this, I had seen cars sliding there. Well, I kept watching the ground and nope, it didn't even feel slippery. However, when I got to Hervannan valtaväylä and approximately 5 km away from my university, the road was practically covered with smooth ice. It took me a while to notice it, but I saw that the car kept sliding from the middle of the road to the edges, so finally I just drove near the edge of said road. It got a bit tricky at a crossroad, though. there were lots of the smooth ice and when I hit the brakes, they kept bouncing at my feet like good sliding ABS brakes should. If I hadn't had ABS, I might have bumped into another car. Phew. Around the center of Hervanta it was still icy, and being a city the road were small with lots of turns. bit difficult to drive on ice... Oh well. I got out alive.

13:16 — Oh. I finally managed to send the darn CS essay. Apparently the only problem was that the automatic checker program didn't like the webmail I was using it to send, because I don't like sending stuff with the text email programs, the reason being that I like copy&paste too much. Oh well, it's done nevertheless.

23:56 — Right before Total Recall (TV series), they showed ten phone sex commercials. I've been keeping a track of those, and I think the most I've seen has been 11, maybe 12. I think it's usually about 9. You'd think I watch those more closely than the TV show, eh?
Well... why spend your precious money on expensive phone sex when you can get it free, even with voice, on the net? Er, right. It's midnight.

01:48 — Of all the things I did tod- - yesterday...
Well, let's start with Friday anyway. My basic computer science exercise went okay... I hadn't written up the essay like I should have, but I managed to whip it up during the first hour easily. The assistant came over to check the formatting, which would be checked by an automatic checker program. Well, the assistent approved it. I tweaked the essay a bit more, and it was getting late. The assistent left just as I emailed the thing for checking. And what do I get if not a bounce message, saying there's something wrong with the essay. I checked, double-checked and triple-checked everything and tried again. No. Then I had to leave for a digital electronics exercise, but after that was done, I got my hand back on a comp, checked the darn thing a couple of more times and sent it. *bounce* WTF. I then sent email to the assistant, asking what was wrong with it. I went home and kept checking my email, with no results. He should've better replied soon, because the deadline for the essay was at 23:59 that night.
My parents had bought a new piece of furniture and I had to put it together. So I did that, and after I noticed I'd better stop for today, I looked up and was the time was WAY over midnight! I FAILED basic CS because the stupid checker program didn't approve of my perfectly formatted essay! I then mailed the professor of the course, and of course he hasn't gotten back to me yet, either.
Well, tod- - YESTERDAY was a rather good day. I finished putting together the chest of drawers and finished my CMAX pic: http://www.deviantart.com/view/11281879/ I also found the one drawn for me: http://www.deviantart.com/view/11180958/ (Yay, Kydre!) That was nice.
Now I've been roleplaying straight for about three hours. It seems like it just got a little calmer, but I'm not sure if I dare to hit the bed.

19:05 — Let's see. Opinions. Who gives a fuck. Yeah, I know, I have my opinions too, but let's face it, even if the world was the exact opposite of how I wanted it to be, I'd probably assimilate. The only thing I truly need at this point of life is a LONELY BED IN MY ROOM.
Homosexual marriages: My general opinion is: do it if you want to. This stuff doesn't concern me. I'm not going to get married, be my future partner the same or opposite sex. I don't care.
Hm. I got bored. That's all for opinions.

21:39 — And I start with an IRC quote from my dear Mod channel.
[21:09] <Mod#3589> Mod#58996 is of the opinion that "Vel really needs to get laid."
Can you figure out what in the WORLD could have made someone say something like that?
Well, even though it did involve three obscenely outrageous pictures of my THOH characters, it's not a reason. Duh.

23:25 — I went almost nine whole days of not going to the mod channel. Never again shall I torture myself so! I started missing the intellectual company, here being surrounded by kids years younger (granted, I'm only 18,5 myself, but STILL) who can't type. I like my fellow mods.
Nothing is quite like the feeling of having a living winged ant in your mouth. And it had to be a dry winged one an not the sour-tasting normal one. if it had been one of those, I'd probably have eaten it, but now I managed to gag it out. To my amazement, I wasn't as disgusted as I thought I would be. Maybe I've grown out of it.
It's funny, that even with the amount of relations I have, you still get to see times when not one of them is online. Maybe I just live here. Which reminds me, I almost went crazy when Elftown was down. There was so much stuff I could'e done, but it all was on Elftown, so I couldn't do it!

23:31 — I'm sure my last weekend was one of the best in my life. ^_^

12:15 — Well, well, this day has started better than I could've ever imagined. I uploaded the colored drawing of Tylien Taiveme'le to Elfwood, yay. Well, today I logged back to the extranet to see that my fellow mod had actually put it in the highlights! I squeed. As I went to look at it on the mainpage, I witnessed a funny coincidence. Two of the three highlights were done by Elfwood mods, that is, myself and another moderator. Now that's a thing you do not see often! And likely will never see again either. *print screen*
