Memories of one summer

So a bit more about my summer break, because I’m starting to get busy with third year and I’d like to remind myself about some of the cool/silly things that happened during the break...

Ropecon

Preeetty much the highlight of each year. One weekend of barely sleeping (and sleeping on hard floors), eating whatever, playing games, meeting new people, LARPing, hanging out... it’s just SO much fun and I love doing it.
This year I participated as a performer (for a second year in row)... well, only thing I did was some Bujinkan (Japanese martial art):
Once again we played games, swam, and ate a lot:

Granted, it was more of a... showy show than pure demonstration x)

Otherwise it was our little gang hanging, playing and enjoying the gala...:

Awesome costumes from a LARP at the gala~

And some other happenings. It was AWESOME.

Our same little group also spent a weekend at our friend Anna’s house in Mikkeli (the five of us have this nickname Rafiki).

This is not all the food we had...

We actually bought so much food that the four of us who had travelled to Mikkeli, ended up dragging some of the food back to Helsinki with us. But once again, it was one super awesome weekend~

I also went to meet my girls with Mari-liis at our friend Heini’s place. I missed them so, and it was really good to see them. They also enjoyed their presents:

Bella and Tara ♥

Don’t worry. Tara’s eyes are ALWAYS red. And Bella always looks like that. Shocked x)

They also got a cucumber from me, so I guess they were fat and content after my visit... I spoil them.

The day after I had been at Heini’s to see Bella and Tara, I went to get a tattoo:

The day after getting the tattoo done.

It’s from a photo my dad took YEARS ago. It was quite of an impromptu decision to take this tattoo, but I had been visiting my relatives earlier in the summer and had gotten a bunch of my dad’s photos he had taken when he was still alive, and for some reason this one just stuck with me:

This is not the full photo, but you see the bird and the clouds.

It was a family friend who did my tattoo, so I was in safe hands and felt relaxed and happy even though I was going through bad withdrawal symptoms from my depression/anxiety medication (NEVER again).

We also had a small photoshoot with Rafiki on that day, so I one of our pictures has all our legs, with my right ankle wrapped in cream and cling film :D

This is what the tattoo looks nowadays (healed):

Not as brutally red and bruised anymore :'D

Soon enough after that (and I had gotten emergency medication for my withdrawal) I had to leave Mari-liis’ comfortable couch behind me and head back to England to Danni’s spare room x)

And then it was just the matter of derping around and dressing like a wannabe-hipster-something:

Featuring Danni's living room.

Also, decorating my backpack for the coming university year:

Few inside jokes and then quotes from two TV shows. But which TV shows? ;D

And most importantly moving to our new flat and going out until Freshers’ Week started, and I was actually expected to do something...

So yeah, that’s my summer break in a nutshell... I guess it was more eventful than I remembered x)

Now, have another nail polish sample that I promised:

OPI Teal the Cows Come Home. 

Two layers of Teal the Cows Come Home alone. If I use only one layer, the colour's not deep enough for my liking.

Left hand.

With Silver Shatter. I accidentally used too much on my middle finger and pinkie and it didn't shatter as well as I would've liked :I

Right hand.

I managed to do this hand better... well, the two fingers x)

That’s it for this time, once again I ask you to stay human, and I’ll blog ya later! 

P.S.

If you are an American and CAN vote, I suggest you really vote for Obama. Just btw. Especially if you are an American woman. I could elaborate WHY, but that post would be too long.
