"And don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen. "

Uni and a certain thing are taking all my time so I'll give you a quick update full of my face:

Told you I'd give you the "wild west" pictures as soon as I got them!



I sent these toys to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital for Christmas. Hopefully the kids will like them :3

I've also taken part in other "charities" lately. My Uni's dance society (which I'm in) recently raised a ridiculous amount of money by throwing a show, and we're giving £460 for Worcester Breast Unit.
I only gave like 50p, BUT I also bought two tickets to the show (those were £6 all together) so I did something at least :3

Last Friday I gave £1.50 to bet on which one of our Sabbs would stay in a box the longest.
It was £0.50 per sabb, and I put money on all of them :D

They stayed in those boxes for 11 hours just to raise money for children in need.

Pudsey and me just hangin' out.

I got to announce when the sabbs came out of the boxes while Eye of the Tiger was blasting out of the speakers :3
I didn't win anything in the raffle (I wanted that Pudsey!), but at least I was happy to have done something :D


Last but not least, a picture of my girls because I miss them so mu-hu-hu-hu-uch ;__;

Put a smile on your face... ten miles high!

Hey~

Quick boring update with pictures, since I am, once again, supposed to be doing Uni work.

Last week I got more hangers and hence decided to rearrange my wardrobe and drawer.
What I hadn't realised was the amount of clothes I have.
Like most of my readers know, I come from Finland but have been living in Worcester, England for a bit over a year now. Sometimes I go to Finland on holidays, meaning I have clothes back there as well. Quite a lot to be honest.

Now THIS is the sight that was seen on my floor after I had emptied my drawer and had already arranged my wardrobe:

These are all from my drawer. Only.

Okay. That just looks like a pile of random clothes. Let me clarify:

Click for a bigger (blurry) picture!

Those pictures are missing the clothes that I was either wearing or that were in the laundry bin.

Pyjamas - Pyjama trousers and 3 night shirts (I had 1 pair of pyjamas in the laundry bin)
Tops - 8 tops (I was wearing 1)
Gym tops - 4 gym tops
T-shirts - 1o t-shirts (although 3 of them I use as gym shirts)
Long sleeve shirts - 4 long sleeved shirts and one 1/2 sleeve shirt
Shorts - 6 shorts (plus 1 which was in the laundry bin)
Skirts - 2 pink skirts (I was wearing one (denim) so all together 3 skirts)
Jeans - 4 jeans out of which ones are short (I don't even usually wear jeans... WHAT)
Gym trousers - 2 pairs

And now to the wardrobe:

There are some hidden clothes in this picture.

Let us go from left to right:
- White jacket and an army style shirt beneath it (I'm gonna use / to separate the clothes that are under).
- dark grey jacket with embroidery / dark grey dress
- Wicked track jacket / denim dress
- reversible hoodie / violet dress
- green hoodie - Bohemian-ish flower shirt
- long, black, knit vest / black dress and a pink shirt
- pink check shirt / pink loose t-shirt
- blue check shirt / blue t-shirt with a hood
- black long sleeve shirt
- Uni hoodie!
- pink hoodie
- long grey hoodie
- pretty skirt
- white t-shirt that has been scribbled all over / black top I made for a social

I was wearing my yellow hoodie so it's not in the picture.

SINCE WHEN DID I NEED SO MANY CLOTHES!?

Honestly... I need to stop buying clothes. Like NOW. How will I ever get most of these back to Finland?!
I do want a new Uni hoodie because they are so cool... I just can't decide on the colour... pink, purple or blue???

Anyway, I really need to start concentrating on my Uni work again.
And before I forget, I probably won't update till next week's weekend or something, because my friends Inkku and Jenni are coming here to see me! :3 So excited~

Bye, stay human and take a look at my Cherry Pie nails:

Halloween, the late post.

So I spent my Halloween weekend in Birmingham, at Asylum 7 which is a Supernatural convention, and came back on Monday, pretty much straight to a party.
I'm still in a happy, blurry bubble of happines and I'd rather NOT write much right now so, once again, have some pictures.

A7 had two themed parties, the first one was "real ghostbusters" and the second one was "western.

For the ghostbusters party I dressed up as Jo Harvelle (from Supernatural since it WAS Supernatural convention) since she's a hunter (of ghosts and stuff).

Hilton's toilets had a veeery nice lighting. My arm looks enormous though.

Looks like I have snake eyes :D

My outfit was just basic jeans and a black top. Le like zis:

Simples! From Primark and cost me only £13.5!

For the western party I borrowed my friends cowboy hat and took out my pink check shirt and a white top. I also borrowed a toy gun from Jenni and we danced like two absolute idiots. It was glorious.
Shamefully, I don't have any pictures of my western outfit YET but when I get some, they'll be posted immediately

And as I mentioned earlier in the same post, if anyone remembers anymore, I came back on Monday which also happened to be THE Halloween day.
My flatmates and I threw a Halloween party for all our friends and since I hadn't had time to get a scary costume I decided to dress up as Anna Milton (again, from Supernatural).

Borrowed the shirt and jacket from my flatmate.

Now comes le spoiler, so anyone who wants to watch Supernatural and does NOT want to be spoiled, look away (after the picture it's safe to watch again):

Anna is a fallen angel so I thought it would be suitable for Halloween. Since she gets her grace back anyway and turns out to be not-as-nice-an-angel-as-we-thought.

One my favourite photos thought it's taken with a bad camera x)

It was a beeetch to do the make up since Julie McNiven's eyes are massive. My eyes are NOT like that, my eyes are very small compared to hers.
Just lot of brown and white eyeliner, and eyeshadow with different shades of brown, and my eyes looked somehow like Anna's.

And styling the wig, oh gosh... I only did the the front and it felt like it wasn't good enough. I fought with it for at least 10 minutes... In the end I was quite happy with it, of course.

Well, this was a very... Halloweenish and costume-ish post. Next time, hopefully, I'll have more interesting stories!
