23:08 — I probably fell asleep at about midnight and woke up at 6. Went to school, came back, went there again, ate, did math PC exercises, idled in the RPG club and then played for 5 hours. :D Whee! Always makes me feel better. I also got labs written up a bit (though I feel like I'm dumping a whole lot of work on my lab partner, but oh well), worked on my programming assignment and stuff yesterday and the day before that and so on.
About the game session...
My character (Colve) and another player's character (Théo) argued very heatedly about the ownership of a certain necklace. I suppose Théo's player was just trying to be mean because he's making his character go from good to evil so he can become a cool prestige class. Colve had other reasons for taking it, first, whatever protection it would give would improve just about anything because my little halfling rogue is just that much tinier and stuff. AC is 15, sob. Second, it randomly heard something say that they should not lose the necklace. Of course they wouldn't lose it if it were on Théo, but like a rogue trusted someone, so it wanted it all to itself... Anyway, the necklace was part of a loot we had promised to share with the leader of a lizard village, so we went off to share the loot. We dropped all the items to be shared, even the necklace (Théo had gotten it first), and in the loot-splitting process Colve took the necklace for itself. Later Théo got heated up about that because he had had it first. Colve argued that he'd given it up for splitting so it was Colve's. Well, they argued heatedly about it and collected a bunch of curious lizardfolk to stare at them. Théo threatened, among other things, to fight and kill Colve, said that if it sneaked out the potion we gave to the lizard chief, he'd let Colve keep the necklace. Well, after a long while of reasoning we just did paper-rock-scissors about it. XD Colve lost, so bye-bye necklace. It was feeling bitter after that, so it used every opportunity to try to get Théo give the damn thing back, first when he nearly drowned "I'll help you if you give the necklace!" and second in a tough battle (I forgot the exact situation) and a few times randomly. After we'd gotten really badly whacked by a living door-creature, Colve was refusing to do any search checks because of the damn doors. Well, the other three still searched, but none of them had high enough search score to find things, so they had to come to Colve to ask for searching. And Colve went "I'll search if I get the necklace!" So Théo said if it searches and finds something, it will get it. And Colve did find a door and the necklace was MINE. Huhahaha!

13:07 — I got up at 6. -23 freaking Celsius outside! Luckily we had anticipated this and set the cars to get warmed up way before. However, I was running late (well, my dad was (he lost his cell phone) and I was supposed to take him to work) and, on top of that, the gas meter started beeping when I got close to dad's job place. I had whopping 43 minutes to get from my dad's workplace, get gaws and drive to university. Well, surprisingly enough, I made it. Filled half the tank and drove at yellow lights, but damn, I made it. No more math lectures this period! Whee!

15:16 — Yesterday I got up to find the net was incapacitated, went to university, did school stuff for seven hours, learned to play Magic: The Gathering and then played D&D for four hours. We're still sentenced to death, but one of the deathwalkers set us free to do her dirty business. At the moment we're trying to suck up to lizardfolk. Yes, it was fun.
Today it was -18°C outside. In addition, I made another physics lab, dealing with inertia.

16:31 — Last night I watched the Farscape miniseries thing called Peacekeeper wars. Whee, liked it. In addition to that, before that I had a great D&D session. Our characters got sentenced to death for violating sacred corpse-keeping-spaces of which they should have been told about because the damn deathwalkers knew we were going to go there. XD Blah, blah.
Today I was in my uncle's wife's public defense of doctoral thesis. I got to start reading the second book of the Babylon 5 telepath trilogy! Oh and I got cake. And meat-pie-things. Later today I'll have to play a taxi driver.

13:06 — I probably feel way too proud for just managing to make a phonecall. And I screwed it up the first try because I had left the damn phone silenced... I don't even know whether that would affect making the call in the first place. Oh well, when you're as sucky as I am with respect to social interaction, you'd think it was a great achievement, too.
In other news, I'll advertize the Official Role-Playing Tournament because I can. I'll sign up myself when I get my two characters in a playable condition. I need to write up a bio for a character from my own RPG and edit one character bio because I explained everything in overly general terms. Of course, I should never start to write about telepathy. I end up writing so damn much.

20:36 — Whoo, now I have PayPal and I can request and receive money from people! Muahaha. Pay me. Now.
In other news, I wasn't that dead in school today, though I felt rather sick at about after noon. I need to do a physics lab tomorrow.

07:46 — I went to sleep at about 23. Fell asleep at about midnight. Woke up a little before 3. Rolled in bed for two hours without being able to sleep. So I just got up and logged in. I'm damn tired. In addition to not being able to sleep I felt very nauseous. Not sick, but bad. It wasn't too strong to make me feel like throwing up (okay, except when I rolled in bed too fast), though. It's the sort of nauseous feeling you have if you haven't had enough to eat. Well, I had had plenty of food and eating didn't exactly help. My dad said it's because of the change in daily rhythm. That's weird, because I went to bed about 0–3 hours earlier than usual. and didn't get bad feelings when I changed my sleeping rhythm two weeks ago. Unless this is the sick-becoming part of that change and not the return to normal. Nevertheless, it's late and illogical in my brain.
In other news, I've been busy (and bouncy) with my little RPG project. I got caught up making another character, but damn I had fun. I couldn't decide what sex the character was so I started writing up the description without any personal pronouns. Well, about halfway the description I figured out a sex for it but decided to keep on writing without personal pronouns, half because the first beginning was that way already and half because I defied gender again. Well, by the time I finished the description, I'd forgotten the sex already. Go me.
This is an excerpt from a conversation I had at the time:
[2006/01/09_06:56:06] <Veltzeh> I didn't use personal pronouns >_>
[2006/01/09_07:10:06] <mod> another non gender specific?
[2006/01/09_07:11:01] <mod> in my head there's a bunch of your androgyn chara standing together pointing at a male one and whisper amongst themselves "penis! omg!"
[2006/01/09_07:15:48] <Veltzeh> XDD
[2006/01/09_07:16:14] <Veltzeh> well usually my androgynes have a penis of some kind, too ;)
[2006/01/09_07:16:34] <Veltzeh> but they could go "balls! omg!"
[2006/01/09_07:17:12] <Veltzeh> anyway, nope, that one's erm... "normal", if you can say that XD
[2006/01/09_07:17:33] <Veltzeh> I just couldn't decide what sex it was until I had already written haf of the desc
[2006/01/09_07:17:49] <Veltzeh> then I just continued my pronounlessness
[2006/01/09_07:20:03] <mod> ha
[2006/01/09_07:20:43] <Veltzeh> but now I forgot what sex I decided it was...
[2006/01/09_07:21:02] <Veltzeh> I wonder if this ever happens to other people >_>

...Right.

16:15 — I don't think I've felt this dead even last year in the signal processing lectures. I theoretically slept through the first programming lecture. After that, it got to a really interesting point (namely an issue I didn't yet know about) and I got a bit better. I was more attentive on physics exercise class, but wasn't too alert there either. Fortunately the subjects weren't too hard to understand. I sure as hell didn't stay there for programming exercises. I'd be sitting there listening to stuff I already know and wouldn't be home testing my new knowledge about file in- and output.

02:20 — University starts again next Monday. I'm going to be so screwed and dead. I haven't been doing my homework or any reading and my sleeping rhythm is totally unacceptable by working standards. I'm worried that I won't have time for all the stuff I need time for. Eek. I also have a book to read. Next period I'll also have to study Swedish again... I could be worse screwed, but even this is getting on my "stress" indicator.
I was given my first RPG campaign to GM probably yesterday. It was rather sudden. I hope I won't fail completely...
I'm probably in a negative and a little angsty mode this night. Maybe I should just finish this character.

04:16 — A whole lot of stuff has happened lately. I say that because I can't really go into too much detail. Let's just say that I've been drawing, snow-plowing and reading webcomics. Specifically http://www.dominic-deegan.com/ (I think I like the puns too much) and http://thunt.comicgen.com/ I got the second book of the Babylon 5 telepath trilogy today, too, yay! All this JUST when I'm supposed to be doing school stuff. just my luck. It always goes this way!

15:42 — Whaddaya know. http://www.livejournal.com/community/gender_petition/163360.html

15:45 — Oh, by the way, I also got the Legend of the Rangers DVD (Babylon 5 stuff) yesterday and watched it. Yay!

13:24 — Dangit. I'm really tired, and since I'm pretty sure I slept good, there's two things I can blame. 1) My parents caught a cold from my tiny cousin and now I'm getting it. 2) The firework fumes got into my brain. Some brainiac opened the door in the night and let all the smoke in. Or then it was normal fumes when my parents started making tin figures.

14:17 — Last night I accidentally poked myself too far in the throat with my toothbrush while I was brushing my teeth and I nearly threw up. However, I didn't. Now, this happens to me every now and then, maybe a few times a year, and it's always the same, I get a throwing up reflex but I never actually throw up. I think I can somehow consciously prevent stuff coming up from my stomach. I have weird control over my body. I can move my nostrils, scalp, move my ears up and down, have the other corner of my mouth go down and other up, turn my tongue upside-down (to both sides) and open up my Eustachian tube without yawning or swallowing. I can roll my tongue into an U-shape thanks to my genes, but I can also make it wavy because I practiced that. Those are rather head-specific things. I can also make weird finger and toe gestures and stop shivering when I'm cold. (And probably other stuff I've forgotten.)
Well, maybe everyone else can do this too, it's not like I knew. I felt like sharing. XD

15:16 — I've been playing around with http://www.springhole.net/quizzes/marysue.htm a bit. It's always funny to see what the scores will be... The character I think to be a total rip-off of me will turn out to have a small score while a character I just don't really care that much of will have a huge score. I just got a personal high of 96 with a fan fic character specifically, who was just an experiment in an actual fanfic with an actual plot. Conclusion: if it has a plot, it's a Mary Sue? Oh well, it's still funny. Then again, I don't seem to be able to create a proper character that wouldn't score relatively high. Maybe I just suck that much at writing. Oh well, I do it for fun anyway. :P

01:01 — We left Joensuu at about 14, made a stop first at a friend of our parents, then at my dad's mom, then a gas station for fuel and then another gas station for a map. We were taking a weird route and no one told me I should turn to Hanko when we were supposed to be heading for Tampere. Additionally, we were playing silly word games, so no one noticed when we just drove on. After about 50 km dad noticed it, we stopped, turned around and took yet another route. We got home at about 20 to midnight, which was the purpose anyway.
The house is cold, but nicely so. There's nothing quite like your own bed, room, computer, shower, toilet, space and net connection. Okay, I'm lying about the net connection. Ours is sucky at this time of year.

22:53 — I moved small logs around today. There's a big pile of them on my granny's back yard, and we needed to move them to the shed and behind it. Well, after the first session we ate and played a card game where one part requires that you slap the pile of cards with your hand, testing which player's reflexes are best... well, my dad randomly came to slap one pile. People always go there with nails first. I clawed [Gastogh] first some days ago, my parents clawed each other and on that particular time my dad clawed me, and there's a huge surface cut on my pinky finger now. Therefore I decided not to go move logs around anymore. Geez, this cut is nearly as long as the first part of my finger! It's kinda sore but at least it doesn't really hurt. Next card game: "More injuries!"
We'll be going to Kitee tomorrow and then back home, hopefully before midnight or it'll be the day after tomorrow.
Argh! What if someone has stolen my computer from home? Gaa! Gaa!

18:04 — Damn powerouts. No school for two weeks! Whee! But damnit, I have to go to my uncle and princess cousin at 16 tomorrow. Oh well, at least there'll be food, though I won't like mot of it. Then we have to go to Joensuu, and I'll have to operate the internet through my dreadful GPRS connection. >_> Oh well, at least I'll have a connection. Hopefully.

19:21 — In other news, I just watched Narnia. Yay.

20:23 — In case anyone cared, I feel much better now. Whoo. No physics lectures on Thursday, even if that means I gotta go there at 8 tomorrow.
Some time ago I got a new shelf and organized the empty boxes I have stored on the top of my shelves. I detached my small shelves, took two away and reattached the third. I attached it right by the door at a height where I wouldn't hit my head on it even if I were bouncy. Now, that's crucial because I'm not that tall. I specifically told this to my parents because I thought it was funny. Now, today my dad came into my room and when he left, he hit his head on the shelf, just like I planned. I was amused as hell. XD

22:48 — I spend too much time not-sleeping during schoolweeks. Three toes on my right foot are being infectious assholes. I have to say though that I'm more concerned about my mom's reaction to it than the whole thing itself.
OMFGG. Gollum porn. >__> Hah, caught your attention? :P

22:42 — I was really damn pissed yesterday. However, no, The RPG Incident didn't cause it, but bloody damnit that didn't make things better either. I think it's actually good that I've now fogotten what made things so bloody crappy yesterday. I know the several factors involved, but not the actual cause unless it is something of the several factors. I can't really remember much. Nevertheless, I felt totally crap yesterday right from the morning as far as I remember. Blah blah blah.
I drew a lot too. At least that made me feel better. I continued that today. I drew six or seven sketches and threw them around at people in digital form. Here's a sketch of a healed Vineg if you didn't happen to have enough of that. http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/stuff/2005121803_ROL_Vineg.gif
