17:27 — Holy crap! It's half to 18 and it's still light outside! Sigh, the pace of days changes so fast >_>
In other news, 5 days until my birthday!

09:31 — Last morning, when I was driving to university, there was an abundant supply of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances driving near Hervanta. Of course, the road I drive connects a hospital, police station and a fire station. All of the vehicles were on alarm, though. I also saw more of them in general. And kept seeing them when I left at 16:30 too...
Then back to today. I went to sleep around 01:30. I either woke up or was still up at 02:30 in the bed, when I got a freaking scary cramp (I think) on my foot. It refused to go away the normal way those things have done before (all those four times or so) and then I just lay there in agony and tried to force relax my foot. Well, it worked and I felt some vein/muscle in my foot relax a millimeter or few at each time. I felt a nice shifting (if anyone can translate muljahtaa, now would be the time) when it happened. Eventually it stopped happening and I dared to move the leg again. It's been good for now.

19:51 — This morning, right about at 6, I went to get the paper form our mailbox. Yes, the real life mailbox by the road. Well, amazingly a neighbour was getting the mail at the same freaking time. He said something like "good morning" to me and it took me all of those 2–3 seconds to respond. I was so totally unprepared for any social interaction that I'm amazed I actually managed to say something resembling "good morning". I squeaked like a creaky door, though.
In other news, after I'd gotten home from university, I spent 2,5 hours reading a webcomic. Why oh why do I do stuff like that? >_>

22:44 — I really, really don't care about sports, much less curling, nor music, especially music viedos, but this thing just rocks. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4598147228689285645&q=hammerfall+hearts

23:56 — I swear, one day I'm going to watch that Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time run-through in five hours.

17:24 — http://regender.com/index.html Think of any more useful websites? XD I fancy that. I will use it to transform a part of my story! Yes!

07:48 — Damn I'm dead. I don't think I fell asleep before midnight, had a startling nightmare at about half to three (which I apparently found amusing or boring enough afterwards to not care) and finally woke up to alarm clocks at 6. Yay. Dead. I'll go lie in the physics lecture hall now.
In other news, my birthday is in 9 days.

18:53 — Squeeable. I read some more of the second book in the Wraeththu omnibus (I don't like that word for some reason, but it is used to describe the thing, so might as well) and was close to bouncing. Of course it annoys me that I have to look one word up every two pages, but oh well. What's even more annoying is that my eyes get totally freaked from doing that. It's always the same when I watch paperwork, be it drawing, reading, writing or homework. I wonder what's wrong with my eyes...

20:26 — So I spent a couple of hours reading either programming tutorials or transgender related text. Why do these two things seem to get linked in my surfing habits?
So here you go, I'm going to link things.
I liked reading a few of these: http://cauldronfarm.com/writing/activist.html
I started redoing the stat generator in PHP, so here's a PHP site: http://fi2.php.net/
Then I started wondering about forms and went to this site: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/

13:48 — This seemed pretty interesting, so I tactfully imitated a buddy of mine and made my own thing. It doesn't suck as much as those "what do you think about me" polls, really! http://kevan.org/johari?name=Veltzeh

16:55 — Whoo! My parents came home yesterday with a new car! It's a Volkswagen Passat, turbodiesel (not sure if the expression is that in English, but oh well). It's weird, too. No key (it just has a button thing you press and the block of a "key" is used to open the doors only), no handbrake (another button, whee) and it's by the description a cross between a gas and diesel car. I gotta drive.
In other news, I totally got full points from all programming assignments! Damn I'm good.

22:44 — Geez, I can't help feeling that I'm the best of those who did te Programming course I was in. I most likely aren't, just one among those who got full points from the assignments. Oh well, maybe I should dwell in my happiness while I can and antasize about working as an assistant who checks programming assignments. XD Sad.
I drove the new car! It's a bit weird and big, but still great. Whee.

23:44 — I finished the first book in Wraeththu (The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit) today! Yay! I squee at it, though I still have some haunting unanswered questions and I made a word list that's a small dictionary of difficult words. I really, really shouldn't read anything tomorrow because I have to do homework and read the physics lab instruction thing! Argh.
In other news, go look at my stuff in Veltzeh's pictures already. Shoo!

23:36 — I have no idea how pathetic THIS is going to sound, but it was so absurd in some weird way that I deem it worthy of sharing. Apparently mom had taken the two towels from the toilet to be washed. now, usually she replaces them, but not this time. I went to brush my teeth and saw empty where the two towels should be. I kinda needed them, so I went to get two towels. When I had them and put them on their respective hooks, I got this joyous feeling of being the first one to use them. ALLLLL MINE. Maybe this is a sign that I've been living at home with four other people too long.

20:03 – I was idling on this Finnish IRC channel when somebody started speaking about some physics genius. Said they were "semi-autistic". Well, some nurse rebuked that, saying that a "semi-autistic" person wouldn't be in a university and that the term isn't even defined. I disagreed, but pretty much didn't say more. I'm afraid of people. That and obviously I won't be at the level of a nurse, what with being a physics and computer geek. Still, about the only thing I was thinking about was how silly it is to try to define an "illness" or any condition with respect to humans. Things are very fluid, except in mathematics. And mathematics is one-of-a-kind. I don't like it when something very fluid is defined like mathematics. I don't like it at all.
I suppose the best/worst part was when right after I said I disargeed, the nurse said in an asking manner that I' probably know a lot about it and am myself "semi-autistic". Eh. I know a lot, more than "normal" people as far as I know because I do studying like that. And I can't deny having some sort of autistic traits – which is why I was interested in the subject in the first place. Heh. Still, it's not like I could say anything to that and I hate arguing when I might not be an authority or when I think people might be hostile toward me. It's weird that that mostly happens with Finns. Maybe I've grown to the fact that on international channels things and all kinds of misunderstandings just happen... or something. I have no idea. Either way, sometimes stuff makes me think. I've been creating a character, too.
But yes. Eventually everything makes me think about definitions and mathematics... my brain is weird/great like that.

19:16 — I've been kind of busy. I really should read for that physics test. I had a really weird dream last night. I was walking home or something fromsomewhere, got lost in some totally weird place that was a combination of Tampere and Ylöjärvi's centers and my home village and there was some really weird fest or SOMETHING going on there and I had a real lot of difficulty trying to get out of there. I woke up shortly after a Japanese person insulted me. There was also a creature that resembled closely either some D&D monster or this weird thing from Metroid Prime. Or both. Okay, yeah. Next physics lab is on next week's Friday. We're going to get a new car. I'm half ill and my nose leaks.
I've been uploading my newest drawings to http://veltzeh.sheezyart.com/ like a nut. Join and go comment, I command thee!

11:29 — Damn Saturday exam. Apparently today was the only day the big lecture halls were free enough to hold the big maths exams. I got up at about 7 and it was -23°C outside. Yay. Well, exam went pretty good. I only totally blew one part of one exercise and was slightly clueless in a few others. I think it went okay, still. Oh, the pain of result-waiting...
While I was driving back home, there was some rabbit-pants (however a combination of jänishousu, hätähousu and sunnuntaiautoilija would translate...) idiot behind me. There was a whole bunch of car stopped on an upward slope because of traffic lights. Well, I discovered I was on a slippery patch (heck, the whole road was slippery anyway, but apparently not slippery enough under the idiot behind me) and couldn't start up that fast. Well, the damn idiot started beeping like crazy. At least I think it was the one behind me, as I didn't see anything else worth beeping than me leaving slowly because the bloody road was covered with ice. Since there were many cars around, it didn't get around me... not that the cars next to me were going much faster anyway. It did finally get past me and passed me on the right and I flashed it with my floodlights or whatever you call the "long lights" for driving in the dark. I was damn pissed then, I mean, hadn't it ever heard of SNOW, ICE or UPWARD SLOPES? Seriously, that driver was a world class idiot even among amoeba. It wasn't even in a hurry.

13:16 — Huahahaha! http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/georgie.htm This is an awesome physics simulation!

19:33 — Had a nice diaryless time while I was too busy to write any? I'm still squeeing over the Babylon 5 telepath trilogy. Somebody told me about these Wraeththu things yesterday and in about half a minute I got so hooked that I ordered a book about them.
I've finished the final programming assignment and took the test today. The test was either a total trick test or totally easy. I was done with it in 30 minutes. It'd be ironic if I got full points from both the assignments and the test. I did get full points from the four assignments.
I've been so busy that I haven't been able to do much. I finished my third character for the Official Role-Playing Tournament. Party 4 for Realms of Lemire is on its way.
I should've read for the math exam, really. I should write up that physics lab right now. I should read physics. I should finish the physics homework. I should type up our RPG log for the D&D game. Guess what! I'll be reading a stupid webomic.

22:31 — Now I seem to have finished the last part of the Babylon 5 telepath trilogy. I'm so damned happy. Telepaths, squee!
I noticed a pattern with trilogies, if they're meant to be such. The first part is great, the second not so great, and the last is awesome.

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!
