It's been 15 weeks since my last update. Epic fail. :S

I was going to write something about real life but maybe i'll do it later. Anyway, everything's going great and I really enjoy life in Glasgow. :)

I think I'm going through some weird phase because I've spent the last couple days listening to N*Sync. But seriously, Justin Timberlake in this video is awesomeness. :'DD Oh how I miss the 90s.

And what else.. I've been a really lowsy fangirl this year and pretty much I've only been following John Barrowman. Just checked his website to plan how many times I can see him next year. His tour starts in May and he's coming to Glasgow so I'm booking ticket(s) when I go back and find out if I have to go alone. :D And then I found out that he's doing the Robin Hood panto in Cardiff next year! ASDF. That's perfect because I've been planning going to Wales next spring. :) And of course what I could do is to go to Cardiff when his concert's held so I could see it again but that might be a bit expensive... We'll see. x) I'm hoping that there would some kind of promo stuff with Torchwood as well but it sucks that I'm in Glasgow now which is like.. what, 800 kms from Cardiff? It was awesome to live so close to Cardiff last year.

I've started watching Leverage (Christian Kane! ♥) and it's quite good. I wasn't expecting much but I think it might actually survive to a second series. I hope.

I've been having a Jason Statham appreciation weekend. I pretty much fell in love with Jason after seeing him in Snatch but after I saw Transporter I was like aslkfjasd cos he kicks some serious ass.

On Thursday I watched The Bank Job which was good. Not quite what I expected but it was a really good film.

Yesterday I watched Crank and daaaamn what a great film. :D Hahaha it was so cracktastic I absolutely loved it! :D I thought the setting of the film was a really cool idea but it was a bit slow at times. I mean.. they should've just completely ignored the plot and have Jason killing people for the whole hour and 30 mins. (Also, Jose Pablo Cantillo was gorgeous.)

And today I watched Transporter 2 which was awesome! I can't really say if this was as good as the first one but it was pretty damn close! But I do have to say that the fighting scene at the end (well, close to the end) was just amazing. AAH.


I'm a bit hyper now because I have just found out that there's going to be Transporter 3 and Crank 2! OMGGGG. Happy times. xD




Now... Bed. I desperately need an early night. I've been staying up so late recently, I'm knackered. -_-

There are some moments when I really love my (older) little brother. Like now: the precious boy has just found Iron Man for me. ♥ ♥

Last night I mentioned to him how much I would want to see it again and when I woke up this morning he'd done it! Alaksjfld.

Sooo. Saw The Dark Knight on Monday. And well.. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. :/ The first half was boring but it got better towards the end. There were some really good bits but it didn't blow me away. Christian Bale is about as sexy as a bag of stones. But! Heath Ledger was amazing. And I'm not saying that because that's what you're supposed to say but he really truly was amazing.

TDK was the third superhero film I've seen this summer (Iron Man was the first and then The Incredible Hulk). I absolutely friggin' adore Iron Man - which kicks some serious ass and Robert Downey Jr. was brilliant (Christian Bale and Edward Norton are nowhere close to him!) - but both Hulk and TDK were a bit disappointing. Well, dunno. And I just don't really like Batman. Iron Man > Batman times thousand kthxbai.


( Random pretty boy of the day )

Also, I really need to start watching Grey's Anatomy again. It's my biggest love (tv-show wise) and we've been apart for long enough. x)

A new layout! Header is a bit.. weird, lol. :D But I was trying to find a good picture of Robert Downey Jr. and I just couldn't find anything of just him so then I found that one of MTV Awards, Robert with Ben Stiller and Jack Black. And Robert looks so hot GUH and he's doing that "You totally want me, bb" pose. So that'll do until I make another header.
Got a new profile layout as well. It's super simple but I like it. Robert Downey Jr. again. Also had to include Alan Carr there somehow cos he is my favorite person atm. :D (I so miss British tv and Alan! Also, X-Factor started yesterday and I'm missing it! :()

Now I only need a new moodtheme and a couple of new icons.

(Ja muuten vieläkin jos joku tietää vastauksen tuohon edellisen merkinnän kysymykseen, eli miten tätä tekstiä saisi tuon käyttäjäkuvan alla niin apua otetaan vastaan. Oon yrittänyt tuota googlatakin mutta ei vaan löydy.. :S)

I'm now starting to "update" my journal, as in changing the layout and the profile layout. I have made headers already but my problem is that I don't have any nice fonts. (When I changed my laptop I lost everything.)

Sooo, could someone point me towards some nice fonts? Or tell me your favourite fonts? I'm looking for something that would go well on headers and something simple, nothing too fancy.

Also, if you've got some textures you love to use and would like to share I would be really thankful! :)

Thank you! :)

Edit: Also, a question which is going to be in Finnish: Elikkäs, mitenkä saisin näissä entryissä tekstin menemään noiden käyttäjäkuvien "alle"? Liittyykö se siihen 'userpic position' tagiin?

Aaaah. Fuck. My life is such a friggin' mess. :/


Umm. Right. I haven't updated this in 18 weeks. I'm trying to get active again, so here it goes. I'm going to start by telling a bit about what's happening in my life at the moment.

So.. I'm back home in Finland now. Came here hmm.. 4 weeks ago? My year (well, almost a year) in Wales was amazing and I do not regret one bit going there. But at the same time it was great to come back home again.

Next month I'll start my degree, Marine & Freshwater Biology, in University of Glasgow. So yeah, I'm moving to Scotland for 4 years, omg. I'm terrified but at the same time I'm really looking forward to going there.

It's a bit hard to explain but I'm finding being back home a bit hard at the moment. :/ I mean, I absolutely LOVE being with my family again but it's just so different than last year so I don't really know what to do with myself.. Mostly is that when I was there it was like a full time job, I looked after those three girls like they were my own and did pretty much everything in the house - so I had something to do all the time. Now I'm back home and... I have nothing to do. The first two weeks I loved it cos I was so tired - both emotionally and physically. But now I've found myself needing some kind of organization. I've started coaching again for a couple of weeks but I'm not even enjoying that like I used to. :(
Also.. I spent 10 months living in the same house, spending nearly all of my time with the three girls I looked after. We did everything together and we got so close. Yes, they were hard work at times but I love them to bits. Now all of a sudden I don't have them around me anymore and it hurts. I really miss them. :(

And I'm really confused at the moment about what feels like my two different lives - one in UK and one in Finland. And how I feel about them.. Right. So. I'm just homesick I suppose. My two little brothers are the most important thing in my life, I love them more than anything else. Especially the younger one. And I hate leaving them here while I go off onto one of my adventures. I would love to have them around me all the time so leaving again will be so hard. And god, later when (or if) I graduate - a marine biologist can't work in Finland so I would be working in god knows where. I feel like letting them down in a way cos I'm not here.. but then again I'm living my dream at the moment. Well, not exactly my dream but this is what I've always wanted and dreamed of - to travel and live abroad and just do things. And I shouldn't be sorry because of it, should I? It's my life after all.. And also, I feel there might be something good in this as well because I'm showing my brothers that all this is possible and if I can do it they can do it as well.

Ugh, I don't know. I'm just scared and nervous. And torn between a desire to go and a need to stay. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this. During the last 10 months I've really felt how I'm turning into a grown-up and I'm not sure if I like it.

And there's something else too which is pretty big, relationship-wise but I'm not going there now.


It's a great thing, life, isn't it?


______________

Ok, that's enough of teenage angst. Will write more tomorrow, lol. I've tried to restart fangirling again. So some mainpoints:
Mamma Mia! is the best friggin' movie I've seen in ages!!! OMG I cannot even begin to tell you how much I loved it! I saw it last Wednesday. I've been feeling quite miserable lately but I smiled through the whole film and it left me feeling so happy. :) I found the soundtrack today and I've been listening to the songs nonstop.
Private Practice. Finished watching the season one a couple of weeks ago and it was MUCH better than I thought it would be! Loved it! Pete is my new bf. :D
Psych is still made of awesome.


Hmm. That's it for now. Need to write an email now and then I'm off to bed. And tomorrow I need to start looking for a new layout for this.


It's nice to be back. :)

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH.

The concert was AMAZING.

(I'm so late with this but whatevs. This week has been a chaos.)

So yeah. It was fantastic. John's voice is absolutely amazing. AMAZING, I'm telling you. I got chills. And he is such a flirt! :'DD Haha, he was so funny. The Dancing On Ice -story was fab. xDD And omg, how much do I love his dorky laughter? :'DDDD

Connie... was better than I thought. That's it.

But John! AAAH. It was so surreal though. To be that close to someone you really look up to and who you love and who is just so freakin' awesome. And handsome. GUH.

Not enough Scottish accent though. :(

Also.. I'm sorry but asking 10 pounds for a program is too much. I bought it, of course, since I'm a sad fangirl but come on. I also bought a really cool (not xD) JB t-shirt! I love it. (18 pounds which was completely reasonable, I think.) I have been banned from wearing the shirt though. (Ed doesn't want to see it in the house and the girls said that they will be too embarrassed if I wear it outside. :() And Ceri bought a JB-mug for Ed. :'DDDD

( Oh yeah... Guess who I met? :D )

I'm going to see John Barrowman today.

ALSKDFALSKDFJALKFDJA.

I'm a bit excited. *explodes* I guess the only why I'm not hyperventilating on the floor is that the awesomeness of that is too much for my brain and I don't really believe it's true. It's like when I saw him on the book signing Cardiff; I was freaking out the week before it, but on the day I felt really weird and when I was finally in front of him and he said my name (twice, as he found it a bit hard to pronounce xD) I just paralyzed and couldn't say anything. Which was so embarrassing. ;_; And 15 seconds later one of the bodyguards was already pushing me away.

But today I'll be able to watch him for atleast an hour! It's going to bee so amazing. :D I'm so ridiculously excited omgomgomg. :'DDD Ceri, who's coming with me, is acting like it's going to be the most painful night of her life but whatevs.

I'm not quite sure what's their policy with cameras, but I'll try to take mine in. It's Canon 400D so it's not exactly easy to hide, but they wouldn't take your camera away, would they? :S

Daaaaaaammmmnnn.

Apparently, Connie Fisher is joining John at his Cardiff concert.

Connie Fisher.

Shiteshiteshite. Ok, so I don't want to be rude or mean, she has a really good voice but I've just never really liked her. :/ And fucking hell, if she sings that Sound of Music song my head will explode. Me hates it.

Mainly I'm this annoyed because also apparently, Daniel of Any Dream Will Do is going to be in his London concerts. How unfair is that?! I would have LOVED to see Daniel.

Oh well. Hopefully there will be other guests and they are a bit more awesome.

I continue my serious of weird entries but i just really need to post this. Today I found THE best piece of Finnish comedy ever. I've never before seen something Finnish that would've had me laughing from to beginning to the end. This is actually really funny. Atleast I think it is. It might because I have not been in Finland for 5 months (if you don't count the two weeks around Christmas) and I really miss stupid Finnish things. :D
If you're not Finnish you probably won't find this funny - even though the clip has subtitles, it more of how she says those things, not what she says. And I think you need to be Finnish to understand some of the jokes ("sienestämään sydänystävän kanssa!").

Anways, I won't ramble on more. Watch it, laugh and show it to your friends. :D



The ending.. OH MY GOD I was lol'ing so badly you would not believe. xDDDDDD

I decided that I may want to get active again.

Things that make me happy:

o1.
OMG. Got them today. *tears of happiness* Going to see Mr. Barrowman at Millenium Centre April 7th! :DD Also, I totally went ASADFKADFJD when I saw that "Plus Special Guests" text on the ticket. Special guests! I know it probably will be some musical theatre people but I can't help thinking that it could be someone from Torchwood. You know, since it's the first concert of the tour, he will be all hyper and might want some friends there, y/y? And guestS, not just one. Eek.

o2. John is doing a signing (his autobiography) in Cardiff 16th of this month! ALKJALDKFJADFKJ!!! Fucking finally!! And it's a Saturday so I will be able to go!! Omgomgomg. Although, it's in Borders and I can't remember seeing Borders at Cardiff High Street (which is usually the only place where I go when I go to Cardiff). So if it's somewhere further away I have to ask beg Ed or Ceri to take me there. And since Ceri is going to the concert with me it might have to be Ed - who will be so excited, I'm sure. xD This kind of freaks me out cause I can't believe I could see him. Like really see him. And I want to go more than anything but I'm sure I will be so nervous that I will not be able to say anything. I can just see myself standing in front of him holding the book, my eyes all 'O_O' and my mouth open.


This post is really weird but whatevs. Don't know what to write or how to write anymore. :D

I haven't updated in, like, a year but I'll try to start updating more often. Maybe. Hopefully.

And I'm not making a proper update now, but I have something to say.

Guy of Gisborne - stop being so adorable! I shit you not, I was almost in tears at the end of 2x11 (Robin Hood, in case you have no idea what I'm talking about). He was happy..! Gaah, he is so cute and kind. I will personally go to Nottingham and kick Marian's skinny ass if she makes Guy unhappy again.


Also.. this makes absolutely no sense - to add something silly real life stuff at the end of a fangirl squee - but. I've this... thought, for a while now. I would really really really want a boyfriend. I really have no idea why I'm writing this but you know. That would be nice. To have someone.

My life is so weird. There's something I would really like to write about but I can't.

Shit. I did it again. Turned a perfectly normal fandom loving entry to something like this.

I'm feeling weird. I'm going to stop now. I'll try to update soon.

Hello again! My laptop is still not working but I borrowed Ed's computer. I'm starting to believe that it's never going to work. Ed is starting to go nuts with it - he's done everything he can with it but it's still not co-operating. He talked about it with his computer nerd friends and one of them who works for Panasonic is going to have a look at it some time this week. Oh man. :D Thank god I've now chanced all the stupid stuff on my computer. Like gosh, when Ed started using my laptop he used Internet Explorer which I haven't used for ages. And guess what was the homepage? ForeverOrlandoBloom. *iz ded* I have never been that embarrassed in my life, oh my god. *facepalm* And he goes like "*chuckle* Forever Orlando Bloom?" with a big grin and I of course turn red and just to want to disappear and then start to very quickly explain that I definately do NOT like Orlando Bloom. (Even though I do, but you know.)
The same thing with my Doctor Who obsession - when my laptop opens and shuts it makes the Tardis noise and Ed finds it incredibly amusing. I've turned the voice off now, of course.

Speaking of Doctor Who. Ceri's dad came to visit us yesterday when we were eating. There was some small talk and then he goes "Doctor Who is filming again". I nearly choke to my potatoes and he tells how all the trailers are there and whatnot (they film where he works, I knew that they had done some filming there but I thought it was over). Ceri then told him that "Hantta is one of their biggest fans" and jokes that he should take me with him there some day. To which I go (half-joking) "Yeah, if you don't mind? :D" And he just laughed. I was so near asking him that where he is working. Then he said that he had seen Kylie the last time they were filming there. Waah, it breaks my heart to be so close but yet so far of DW. :D

And another small but cool Doctor Who fact. You know the season three episode with that little girl who draw people and they got stuck in the drawings? And you remember the house that girl and her mom lived? Well, that house is an exact copy of the house I'm living! Ed told me that last week ("We were watching that episode and then they showed the house and I was like 'Oh my God, that's our house!'")

Aaaand we went to Cardiff Bay last Saturday! ASKJDHAF. It was amazing. The area was much smaller than I thought it would be but it still was a great experience. I had a nice fangirling moment next to the waterfall thing. ♥ It was a bit rushed though, because the girls were with us and they weren't very patient.





I'm on my own now, the girls' school started today. I would really wanna go to the nearby field to just think and watch the horses, but I have to stay home because there's a window washer guy coming some time today. I'm not particulary excited about that because I know I have to talk to him. He came quickly yesterday to have a some sort of check I think and I heard him from kitchen - you would not believe his accent. First I though he was Irish but then he started to sound like Billy Boyd so I think he might be Scottish. I know I'm not going to understand anything he says.


Okay, I think I might have to continue my search for a vacuum cleaner. I would really like to clean the floors (can you believe it, I actually want to clean) but I just can't find it.

I'll try to update more often, it's just that in the evenings I'm usually so tired that I just drink my tea and try not fall asleep. And I have been a horrible flister, I'll do my best to fix that during the upcoming weeks.

Just superquick entry as I'm on Ed's computer (my own laptop refuses to work - how nice..).

BUT OMG YOU GUYS.

I'M IN WALES!!!



And everything is just awesome; the family is super nice and funny and I'm loving it here. And this area is gorgeous. ♥ My spoken English sucks like woah but it's improving slowly. :D
I will write more when my own laptop starts to work, but yeah - just wanted to tell you all that I'm fine and everything is more than fine. :)

Today was pretty hard. :( Note to self: leaving all goodbyes for the last day is not a good thing. It felt like all I did today was meeting people for the last time in four months. And I had hold tears all day. First I went to my granma and when she started crying, it felt so bad. :/ Then I met a friend of mine, but that was a nice meeting because she was so excited for me instead of being sad and that felt good. But then it was time to go the swimming pool. After practise everyone was saying goodbye to me and wishing me a good trip. I managed to not to cry until Mia (she's 5, I've babysitted her - she's just about the most adorable kid ever) came to me and gave me the cutest and the best hug anyone has ever given to me. She hugged my legs and just kept hugging me without saying anything and waah, few tears fell down. And one of the women who were also there said that even she almost started crying because it was so cute. :') Damn I'm going to miss that little girl. And then it was the older swimmers and Jukka and Suvi who are going to be the next coaches. They all hugged me and said sweet things and I almost started crying again. I managed to hold it but when I was back in my car I broke down. Of course I'm going to miss my family the most, but the people of our swimming club have become so close to me during all these years - they're like a second family to me - so it's going to be really hard to not to be able to see them five times a week anymore.

*sigh*

But of course I'm not just sad. I'm also really excited but at the moment I'm just thinking of what stays here in Finland instead of all the cool things that will be in Wales. I'm pretty sure I feel much better when I finally meet Ed and Ceri tomorrow evening.

Tomorrow will be spent completely to travelling but I'll try to update on Tuesday to tell you how things are. :)


And before I pack my laptop, one meme. Got tagged by clouded_logic. :)

I wasn't going to update because I'm currently panicking about next Monday but then I accidentally saw this and dude. I gasped. And I think something happened in my heart.

(1) List 5 celebrities you would have sex with without even asking questions.
(2) Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them. (5 - 1, 1 is the hottest.)
(3) Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
(4) Supply photos for said people.

( This was surprisingly difficult )

It's been a while since I've last updated. I spent last week mainly sleeping. I went to see a doctor on Friday and he gave me some antibiotics. Those have really helped and I feel much better now - altough still not perfectly good.

And, I don't think I've mentioned it at all, but I moved back to home yesterday. I'm living the last two weeks before leaving to Wales here. It's strange to be back at home, but also really nice. I love having my little brothers around all the time. :) Like this morning, when my younger little brother (he's 9) came to my room (well, it used to be mine, but it's his now - I'm just staying in it for these two weeks) and started singing "Snape, Snape, Severus Snape, Snape, Snape, Severus Snape...". :DDD (from Potter Puppet Pals - The Mysterious Ticking Noise) I've trained that kid well. ♥ And he totally surprised me when he told me that he's started reading Lord of the Rings. Which is pretty shocking because he doesn't read.. at all, usually. But he's really excited about it and is already on page 95. ^^ He was so cute today when he left the room to go to bed and suddenly nearly ran back going all "Omg, I almost forgot my book!" :D
My older little brother Marko is starting in a new school in another town so he's moving there. Well, partly anyway. He's staying weeks there and weekends here home. It's going to be weird when it's just me and Henri - and in two weeks I'm gone too so Henri will be alone. :/ But I already threatened him saying that I'll call him every night (via Skype). ^^


Mmm, and I friggin' loved Psych 2x05! That show is made of so much win. ♥ I have to make a Psych post soon.

[ music | Century City on tv ]

Ugh. I feel horrible. :/ I have this stupid and highly annoying summer flu or something and I have temperature plus my throath is really sore. Sore in a way that it's somehow swollen which means that talking, eating and even swallowing feels horrible.

That's why I haven't been properly on LJ for two or three days, I've just mainly been sleeping. I haven't commented at all lately - I promise to get back to that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

This flu is not completely bad thing, though. Two nights ago - thanks to my buzzing head and painkillers, I suppose - I had an awesome and very enjoyable John Barrowman dream. More of that please. *g*

Okay. Goodnight, everyone.
