The Fly was harrassing me ALL night.

So Animecon came and went and I have to admit that despite all the smaller and bigger problems we faced it was fun eventhough I had NO time to really go and see any panels I wanted to see.
As I mentioned before I was performing in the paraparashow, taught one paraparalesson and I also co-hosted the cosplay-competitions with my team mate Kiira. 't was busy.

Ach well. Let's get to the random stories again before I return to the weekend.

I am an amazing cook.

Last two weeks I spent mostly inside watching Supernatural since I had no money to actually take a bus anywhere.
There were moments when I left the house to take the dog out, or see a friend who lives in Kannelmäki OR one day when my cousin drove us to Myyrmäki to do some shopping.

That day I wore my cousin's new-old dress and my aunt's OLD (like 80's old) waist-belt :3

Which both are nowadays mine, btw x) My cousin bought the dress a while ago and THEN decided it doesn't suit her and gave it to me... don't mind if I do~
My task during the shopping trip was to just follow my cousin and her daughter and tell my opinion IF she asked. I was rewarded with Chinese food :D
I got a new necklace as well, because it was ridiculously cheap. Yay :3

So lovely~

Last... Monday? Tuesday? One day I made new nails for the week AND weekend.
I, once again, borrowed the colours from my cousin and used my own Gosh's French Manicure Base, Wet 'n' Wild's glitter and Top Coat.

Left hand on the left and right on the right x)

To be honest, the nails still look really good and I've been wearing them for a week now o_O
Yes, they endured through the weekend even though I was doing a lot of stuff.
Talking about the weekend, let me show you some pictures of few of my favourite things from the weekend:

Kiira with "yukata helvetti".

We both needed yukata for the cosplay-competition so we borrowed some from our friend Saara and team mate Sefie.
What Saara gave us was a huge Veikon Kone- plastic bag full of all kinds of stuff meant for kimono and even Hello Kitty earwarmers and some random socks...
The second I saw the bag I named it "yukata helvetti" (yukata hell).

Oh, but what is THIS!?

It is none other than:

Parapara Paradise PS2-game!

I've played the proper arcade game that you can see in the back cover of the game (the one with the girls) and the PS2-game before and I have to admit that the idea is GOOD but the execution NOT so much.
The sensors in both versions are just terrible and don't even work properly.
Aka if you dance you have to just wave your hands frantically or just put them to where they're supposed to be... not actually dance the choreography :'''D

And last but not least:

Dodge Dart Swinger '73

I'm a bit of a car geek sometimes... This one could also be a newer Dodge Dart, but the grille and the rear is too much of a '73 Dart so I don't think I'm that off saying it's the '73 :D

I don't really have anything else to tell right now so I'll get back to you some day.
Have fun and don't get burned in the sun!

I'm the Queen of Random

And this, is the Random post of Doom.
I mean it. There's really no point. Just a bunch of pics and caps to tell you what's been going on.

Let's start with the fact that I'm back from my relatives and I didn't return to Helsinki empty handed.

This. Is an old duvet cover which I'm gonna make a reversible dress out of. Hopefully.

It just depends on whether or not there's enough fabric since I don't want the hearts to go sideways :D
Sooo cute~ I got it from my aunt who doesn't use it anymore since it has a small hole.
IF I have to decide to go with only one colour, which one should I take, The white or the red one?
I also saved an old bunny plush toy that my younger cousin had abandoned. I don't have pictures of it, but you can see the green cutie jammin' with me and another bunny in my robo.to.

I was looking for some sewing patterns from my aunt's old sewing magazines for the dress... but the magazines were from the "lovely" 90's...

As you can see...

Ah, since I was born in the late 80's, it means I grew up in the worst time of 90's, where the trouser legs were just a tad too short and shirts way too big with shoulder pads.
Not. Cool. Man.
The coolest things about 90's have to be the music and the cartoons.

Definitely not this...

Or these...

And this is not even that bad :D

So yeah... I might have some kind of... antipathies towards the style of the 90's x)

I know that the shoulder pads were WAY bigger in the 80's, but I still remember them so vividly from the 90's dress shirts and women's suits :'''D
And now those freaking Lady Gaga and Rihanna are trying to bring them back. Please. Stop them.

So many... and so many terrible sewing patterns...

On to happier (?) news! Let the randomness continue!

This is what I have to deal with when I wake up.

In the photo my hair isn't even that bad, it's usually way worse :D
I have naturally curly hair... not anything close to an afro, but very strong natural waves, so to say, that make my hair go EVERYWHERE.
If I straighten my hair and go out when it's raining or just otherwise humid, my hair will wave up automatically in 5 minutes or less. Nice.

Oh well, that's life and I have to thank my dad for my strong (wavy), brown hair x)

Let me continue my almost timelined story....

My return to Helsinki was soon followed by Midsummer which used to be my favourite festival but which I dislike nowadays since I usually have to spend it alone or at work.
Luckily my dear friend Iippa decided to save me from utter loneliness and boredom and came all the way from Oulainen to Helsinki to spend it with me.
MUCHLY APPRECIATED it was x)

We were supposed to watch almost all the Batman movies, but after the first one (Burton's Batman) stuff happened and we couldn't watch the rest... Instead we watched The Room (which is probably the worst movie ever made) and...

Did some candy box porn!

(Okay. I did.)

It all got me very... thoughtful.

We also played Amnesia! One of the very few things that actually makes me s*it my pants... every freaking time :D
All in all, my Midsummer turned out surprisingly good~

Today (well... yesterday) I went to the very centre of Helsinki to meet my friend Heli.

The Finnish National Theatre.

We met right infront of the building in question and then just... headed to Pohjoisesplanadi and even bumped into our other friend Sonja. It was pretty random and fun. We even went to Helsinki Info to ste- get some tourist quides in Japanese x)

I also realised that it's the Pride week! I was accidentally wearing the right top for it as well!

Look at my fringe! It's grown SO fast.

Yeah, I know you can't really see the top, but I'm wearing the same one in the manba photos from last year, so if you wanna see it, just go a bit back in my archive and it should be there :)
It says "Under the Rainbow" :333

So yeah... we went shopping and stuff and I bought some nail polishes with my nonexistent money...
But hey! At least my nails are cool now (DAMN YOU PHONE)!

So blurry -_-

Yeah, I used some blue and silver-ish nail polish I found from my cousin's cupboard and then used my own, new, Wet 'n' Wild Wild Shine glitter nail polish and top coat.
I stole the idea from Iippa who got it from this tutorial :3
Next time I'm gonna do another colours and it's gonna be even better. Mwah.

Aaanygays. I'm running out of randomness and I've been listening to Eye of the Tiger SO much that I should really head to bed now. Quickly.

Unkle Baourban is going quickly.

I have a confession to make.

I love shorts.
And skirts, but shorts even more.

Honestly, I love them.
I walked to town on Wednesday to do some shopping for my friend's birthday and went to Primark. Big. Mistake.
They had the new spring collection of a kind and it was full of shorts. White ones with flowers, light coloured jean ones, grey ones... SHORTS all over the place.

Luckily (or NOT) I'm pretty much penniless so I just couldn't get any of those...
But oh you wait... when and if I get some money...

I took only one pair of shorts (and two skirts) with me from Finland.
Right now I have three pair of shorts HERE.
Back in Finland I have... two pairs? I'm not sure, I might've gotten rid of some before I left, but I can't remember.. I think I also left some skirts there :DDD
Anyway, I'll try to get them here, because it's spring already and I miss them and some day, I'll take a picture of my shorts... and skirts :D

Shorts ♥

Päivitystä pukkaa jälleen

Tämän päivityksen tarkoitus on... näyttää mitä kaikkea olen lähiaikoina pohtinut ja ostanut x)

Minulla on kaksi uutta asukkia:

Paavo ja Tane.

Sain ne ystävältäni Lauralta, kun hän lähti takaisin Suomeen. En siis ostanut niitä, enkä kyllä nimiäkään pohtinut puolta minuuttia enempää. Paavo on siis tuo kiero (haha) ja Tane tuo suora :D

Tänään kävin itseasiassa ihan ostoksilla asti, mitä en ole tehnyt.... vähään aikaan. Olen viettänyt aikaani aika pitkälti kampuksella ja sisällä katsoen X-Fileseja~
Joooka tapauksessa, tänään suuntasin keskustaan pankkiasioiden merkeissä ja samalla kävin ostamassa muutaman piristävän esineen...

En yleensä välitä vyötärölle puettavista vöistä, koska pidän löysistä vaatteista ja nuo vyöt... no, ne puristaa :D
Mutta totesin, että tuollainen on aika käytännöllinen, sillä voi muuttaa asua nopeasti ja tämä kyseinen yksilö oli jopa miellyttävän näköinen.
River Island, £12.99

Käväisin myös Primarkissa katselemassa, että mitäs kivaa niiltä tällä kertaa löytyy... ja onneksi hallitsin itseni, sillä muuten sieltä olisi tarttunut mukaan shortsit, huppari ja ties mitä muuta.
Nyt päätin napata mukaani alennuksesta, VAIN, pienen laukun:

Kick-Ass kurkkii laukun peilistä :D (Primark £5)

Kyllä mie vielä joku päivä menen takaisin ja ostan vähintään sen yhden hupparin :3
Mutta se saa odottaa ensi viikkoon (jolloin koulu jatkuu! *le gasp*), sillä tänään kulutin keskustassa sellaiset 50 puntaa :''D
Ai miten niin vain 15,99 puntaa? En ole vielä ehtinyt listata niitä kalliimpia ostoksiani...
En nimittäin pystynyt vastustamaan HMV:n kutsua ja niinpä päädyin ostamaan Iron Man 2:n (2-Disc Special Edition £12) ja Disneyn Fantasian (DVD + Blu-Ray samassa paketissa sekä neljä taidekorttia, £19,99).
Kotiin päästyäni huomasin Fantasiassani erään pienen, jännän asian...

Nimittäin tuollaisen DVD-lukon (vai mikä ikinä onkaan virallinen nimitys) :D
Tuo tosiaan on sellainen lukko, joka estää varkaudet myymälöissä ja vaikka joku onnistuisikin repimään tuon irti, niin se naarmuttaisi pahasti levyä.
Pitänee huomenna mennä käymään kaupassa kuitin kansssa (ja jättää lompakko kotiin) xD


Ostin myös postikortteja, koska ne oli söpöjä :3

Tuo hamsteri-kortti on vähä hölmö, mutta oli pakko ostaa se :D

Japanilaisvaikutteisessa kortissa ja Tsirp Tsirp-kortissa (eli tuossa puu-kortissa) on molemmissa pieniä kimaltavia yksityiskohtia, joita kamerani ei tässä valaistuksessa tietysti voinut saada tallennettua. Kaikki kortit: Clinton Cards £0.50/kpl.

Sitten niihin asioihin, mitä olen pohtinut x)
Golden Globes ja eräs paitani. Golden Globesista pitäisi kirjoittaa ihan oma postaus ja sen teen kunhan olen saanut tarpeeksi kuvia kasaan...
Mutta se paita. Eräässä lempipaidassani on jotain ihme tahroja, jotka ei normaalissa pesussa ole lähteneet.

Kivasti vaaleanpunaisella ympäröin, että huomaisitte ne paremmin x) Ihan kuin ne ei näkyisi muuten :DDD

Ne nimittäin näkyy ja kauas.
Eka epäilin, että ne olisi öljytahroja, mutta kun ne on tuollaisia oudon... kellertäviä, enkä muista lutranneeni öljyllä tuon paidan kanssa...

Lähempää näkyy tuo tahran erikoisempi sävy...

Ei teistä kenelläkään sattuisi olemaan erinomaisia ohjeita kyseisten tahrojen poistoon?

Ajattelin seuraavaksi kokeilla kaikkia legendaarisia "öljytahrojen poistokikkoja", mutta jos mikään ei auta, niin kiikutan tuon varmaan pesulaan, koska ;___;
Se on kuitenkin yksi miun lemppareista.

Ilmeeni kun tahrat eivät vain lähde pesu(je)n jälkeen.

Ah, olenhan mie pohtinut myös blogille uutta taustaa ja ulkomuotoa!
Mutta koska olen a) kämmen Photoshopin kanssa ja b) miulla ei ole piirtopöytää, joka hankaloittaa asiaa, niin siinä saattaa kestää ja kauan :D
Saatan sortua Paintin käyttöön, koska se on vain niin paljon helpompi ja nopeampi xD

Olikohan kaikki siinä...
Mie nyt yritän ryhdistäytyä tuon luvatun GG-postauksen kanssa. X-Files on vain niin koukuttavaa, että sitä haluaa vain katsoa ja katsoa, vaikka olen varmaan kaikki jaksot nähny jo :D
Salaisista Kansioista puheen ollen, käynpä laittamassa pizzan uuniin, päivitän poupeen ja sitten jatkan niiden katsomista xD

Ensi kertaan o/
