00:40 — My parents talked a lot about religion today. My dad said that any spreading of religion is wrong, that it's a very personal thing and that he's very religious. I was kind of shocked, I guess.
I agree that spreading any sort of religions is wrong. People shouldn't do that. I've thought about many religious and philosophical issues and it's always gone so ridiculous I've just thought "this is so ridiculous and useless that I can't do this" and stopped thinking. For all those times I've thought about these things, I've ended up in the same conclusion. That stuff doesn't matter to me. I don't need to believe in anything. Especially when it makes no difference whatsoever to my life.
01:20 — Yay! I got a new mouse since my old one wouldn't really click anymore. Ha! Die, mouse, die! The new one's very small.
02:02 — I guess I should thank my luck that I have such a small extended family. I have two siblings, two parents, six cousins (younger), three uncles, two aunts, two grannies and three in-law uncles and aunts. I don't know and have never seen anyone else. So, that makes altogether 20 people. I've only seen my dad's sister once when I was four years old. The rest of my dad's family doesn't keep close contact at all. So that leaves one granny, one aunt, one uncle, one in-law aunt, one in-law uncle and four cousins. So five adults and four kids (each under 8). And only three of those people live near. (Plus of course my close family.)
It could be worse. It could be much worse. I'm pretty happy.
16:08 — New record! I stayed in bed until about 15:30 or a bit later.
00:20 — Hmm... I remembered an incident that happened when I was taking my parents to the bus station some morning, specifically at about 9 on the 4th. The police were doing an inspection near the bridge, testing for any alcohol. Yay, my first and probably only alcohol inspection thingy. ^_^
This morning, I went to the store with [Gastogh] and bought a lot of candy. Yay.
Now, I just spent over seven hours at my uncle's. Stupid princess-cousi
As soon as I got home, I got around playing Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Whee!
13:14 — My blood glucose level was 4,7. My mom wanted to measure it because she was worried about me not being hungry. Heh, the ultimate solution to everything: measure blood glucose levels to check for diabetes, if it's fine, no worry. XD
19:02 — Aargh! I had my last exam of the year today... circuit analysis. Well, I knew they did the exam in two parts, so you could either do the two parts, or the whole exam. Well, two months ago I did the other half of the exam. I vaguely remembered that they would have said that the second half would be held at the same time as the whole exam. So I didn't check the webpage of the course. Today, just before I left, I checked the webpage and what do you know, the second half of the exam had been on the 17th! Shit. Annoys me to no end. I had to do the whole exam then, and I'm just sure I flopped that too.
19:06 — @_@ Aargh. I've been driving and fussing all day. We went to the city buy some christmas things... spent there about 5 hours. We bought a new scanner for [Levoton]. I've been printing self-made cards. Though preferably I'd not sent any cards at all.
While I was writing this, my parents thought I needed some exercise and told me to go clean the yard of snow. Yay.
09:46 — Yesterday I drew a small picture for one mod friend of mine. It was entirely done on the spur of the moment right after she mentioned the picture idea. I even drew right on the picture I was currently drawing without bothering to take a new piece of paper. Anyway, the whole drawing – scanning – coloring – exporting – uploading took whooping 25 minutes. My quickest one ever. And I got a present from her. She got me a 3-month DA subscription. XD
I have to squee. Just because. ^_^
09:51 — Oh and I might have gotten 5 hours of sleep today.
13:07 — I've been browsing some Finnish sites about transsexuals and intersexuals. It's kind of scary how much psychologists and the like seem to be disrespected, relating to the issue. And no wonder.
23:15 — http://www.sei
16:39 — Hmm... new record. The latest I've ever gotten up: 14:50.
20:01 — Oh crap. Stuff like this just happens. XD I'm Mod_V, the two other mods are... well, two other mods.

01:11 — Holy hell. I just watched the movie Zardoz. I'm not sure if it was insanely brilliant or brilliantly insane. Most likely something else. Anyway, by the stars, it was a great one! Like I'd ever say there's a bad movie. Oh well.
10:22 — Quote time; from The left Hand of Darkness by Le Guin: "To oppose something is to maintain it."
21:53 — I am so going to fail courses. Sigh. I wonder what I should do...
01:15 — Fisrtly, Imajica is so damned awesome. I can't describe its perfection in words. Yes, I know that's a lame statement, but it's still so wonderful a book. I'm ecstatic and squeeing randomly. *SQUEE*
In other news, it's independence day! Finland is 87 years old, yay!
01:46 — Now I will try and remember as much hard names from Imajica as I can.
Yzordderrex
Concupiscentia
Uma Umagammagi
Hapexamendios
Jokalaylau
Eurhetemec
Patashoqua
Athanasius
Hm, forgot two letters in Uma Umagammagi and remembered wrong the place of s in Concupiscentia
13:17 — Yesterday was darn busy. I had to wake up at 8 to take my parents to the bus station. Well, since I was going to the city anyway, I took [Gastogh] along and we went to the bookstore, music store and furniture store. All before [Levoton] even woke up. Well, later that day it was discovered that we're out of food. Well, back to the city... We bought a lot of candy, pizza and cookies. That's what happens if your parents leave for 4 days. Well, my mom will be away 6 days.
In addition to that, I was very disappointed at my fellow mods. They continuously keep trolling Elftown, and NONE of them actually use this place! Sheesh! I'm betting about all their information is based on people who complain about Elftown for some reason or the other, and send their complaints erroneously to Elfwood support. Basically, if you don't use it and don't have first-hand knowledge about it, don't try to take it away from people who do use it and like it! I wrote a huge and very bad rant about it in my LJ. No, you can't read it. I was pretty pissed about it.
08:23 — Great. The last physics lecture was yesterday and they couldn't tell it on the webpage that is my only source of information! So I came to school two hours too early. I'm pissed. I'll go home right after I've printed this weird health questionnaire thingy. Screw maths. Screw digital electronics. Screw circuit analysis.
13:28 — Ohh, I just have to rant about this. There's this community in LJ: http://www.liv
It's a very shallow place that implies that intelligent people are always ugly and beautiful ones are stupid. Well, after looking at the community and especially its logic and the spelling, they prove what is implied true, even if they say they're doing the opposite. Of course, there are smart people there too, but they're getting drowned by the stupid ones. In my opinion, the smart ones would need more respect than that.
They also have a join test (which was revised after we played a practical joke on them (which they couldn't take of course)): http://www.liv
Just for fun, I'm going to copy, correct and fill out that form. It's so hilarious and I have a few nice quotes.
00:30 — Yay, first of December. Book quote time: from Imajica by Clive Barker.
Page 166:
"But I wanted to see the Merrow Ti' Ti'," Gentle said.
"No chance," Pie returned.
"Why?"
"It was pure invention," Pie said. "Like all my favorite things, including myself. Pure invention!"
Page 665 (put together):
"Study nothing except in the knowledge that you already knew it. Worship nothing except in adoration of your true self. And fear nothing except in the certainty that you are your enemy's begetter and its only hope of healing."
20:37 — I guess I'm going to take up Taekwon-do again. I know I need the exercise as well... and yeah, that's about it. Maybe if I keep my eating habits, I won't gain those 3 kg I seem to have lost during last summer when I didn't move or eat. As if that mattered. I kind of liked weighing exactly 70 kg... I mean, at least there was ONE thing in which I was perfectly average!
02:18 — Well, thanks to [Furr] and his webcam, I was poking around with MSN Messenger and got a virus on my computer. Great. So, I went on a spree and uninstalled everything unnecessary and everything by Microsoft, not including the OS and Office stuff. And never, ever again am I going to get anything from Microsoft. Holy hell.
02:45 — Okay, opinion time. I left it a little unfinished last time because I got bored, but I think I can finish it now.
General: There are too many people in here. The more of them die, the better.
Homosexual marriages: Well, my opinion would be the popular "marriage is about love and nothing else" thing.
Adoption and kid-getting privileges for homosexual couples: Hell yeah. Those who really want the kids should sure as hell get them!
Religion: Kill them all, especially if they're big. While I can understand if someone wants to believe in something unnecessary, for stars' sake, don't make it everybody's issue.
Abortion: Allow for any reason. Death is better than a life of misery.
Death penalty: Hell yeah. If there's no doubt about the charged being guilty, kill without hesitation.
Euthanasia: Hell yeah. Death is better than living the last ten years of your life as a vegetable.
Stem cell research, genetic screening and similar: Oh yes. Stem cells are very neat and we should take all advantage of them like we do of all other cells! Genetic screening helps in getting kids with no diseases. It would just have to be available for everyone.
More coming if remember any. How many of you hate me now? =D
17:17 — Hmmm...
Alcohol: Ban it all NOW NOW NOW! But, I guess allowing under 4 % stuff would be okay.
Smoking: BAN IT YESTERDAY!
Strong, harmful drugs: Ban them.
Mild, relatively harmless drugs: Allow them, as far as overusages will be monitored.
Now, what else...
23:03 — Hrm. My mom keeps saying how I should get some exercise and move my ass around a little. So, after a long pondering, I thought I might take up Taekwon-do again. A long time ago (well, three–four years, I think) I went to the taekwon-do starters course... and jolly, it was neat and all. The problem was that I didn't like touching people, and I'm still terrified of it. I passed the belt test thing and now I have a yellow belt (or 8th dan thing if I remember correctly). I'd be a nice sight in the starters course again in my suit and yellow belt, especially if no one else is restarting it. Yay. Oh well, maybe I'd gain some respect... or not. And the trainer might make me hold the preliminary jogging/stretc
