ERMAHGERD FRESHERS’ WEEK!

Hello once again.
This time I’ll shortly tell you about Freshers’ Week, when I volunteered for SU’s Freshers’ Crew once again, and spent a lot of time meeting new people and partying. I'll be back to "serious" blogging soon.

It started on 15^th and finished on 22^nd of September. During this time I went out every night, apart from that last Saturday. I also volunteered/worked on most of the days, so you can bet your sweet ass I was a tired, emotional mess by the end of that. But it was SO much fun.

The first night out that I actually have photo proof of, was on Sunday (16th) when there was an event called Circus Sunday.
Now, I had done a make-up design quite some time ago inspired by Kid Cudi’s The Ruler and the Killer.

Here’s the design in question.

And since it was a Circus Sunday, and my costume was darkly coloured anyway, I thought it’d be a perfect opportunity for me to try the design in question for the first time.

This is what it turned out like:

Eyes open.

Eyes (nearly) closed.

And here you can see my costume for the night:

I look... funny x)

The second night out was... A RAVE.
Well, an UV Party on Monday to which I boringly enough wore a white top, short orange shorts (these ones), and slapped yellow, orange and blue make-up accompanied with bright pink lips.
There is ONE picture of me from that night, but I look ridiculous in it so I’m NOT showing it to you x)

Tuesday was my day off from volunteering, but I still couldn’t stay away from the party, and so I joined my friends at the Bavariafest in the evening.
I don’t even drink alcohol, but singing drinking songs along the band and watching others taking part in drinking games was fun. The band was a Bavarian Oompah Band and they really got everyone going :D It was great fun, although I didn’t stay too long since I had a morning shift the next day.

On Wednesday we had the very first social night, where all the societies welcomed their new members. We (the dancers aka Saints) had a “scribble social” where everyone took an ordinary, blank, white t-shirt or top, some markers and asked people to write on them.
I gotta say that my t-shirt didn’t survive from the rude comments, and a lot of people were trying to claim their ownership over me on  my t-shirt... Someone wrote “Isaac was here 2012”, but I gotta admit that I don’t even know this Isaac.
But once again, I had fun and it was a great night with the new puppies of the dance society.

I wasn’t supposed to work on Thursday, BUT I somehow ended up going to the Uni and helping out by standing there in my Freshers’ Crew t-shirt.

That night I went to the Foam Party. I went to one last year as well, but this time I decided to take part in it. The foam was all the way to my knees, my friend Josie and I were SOAKED, our hairs were a mess, but we had fun. We even met two non-students and I named one of them Chin, because he looked part Hawaiian and refused to be called Kono or Keahu.

Getting soaked and getting my ballerina flats horrendously smelly (they smelled of alcohol, cigarettes, soap and all kinds of things)? WORTH IT. Who knew foam parties could be so much fun!?

Friday... Friday, Friday, Friday.
I did not have a shift on Friday. But I spent the day getting ready for the night and Freshers’ Premier (which is always supposed to be a bit fancier with champagne etc. involved).
At this point, I have to back up a bit in time.

Mari-liis, the extremely kind person she is, had forced me to order this specific dress from Forever Unique. Fine, she didn’t FORCE me, but she did show it to me and I bet she KNEW I would feel the need to order it, so that’s the same as forcing, right?
Anyway, it was one of the most prettiest and cutest dresses I had ever seen and apparently “so me” that I couldn’t resist ordering it EVEN if the last size was 8 (I’m usually a 10 or a 12). And it was the last dress of that colour they had. So I ordered it, and waited for it to arrive so I could check if it actually fits.
The dress had actually arrived on Tuesday, and of course I opened the packet immediately to see if it was as beautiful live as it was in pictures.

I screamed when I saw the packet.

Then I screamed a bit more.

Then I actually opened it:

And screamed even more because OF THE COLOURS AND EVERYTHING.

Then I took it out and found these on the bottom:

Extra tulle and sparkles!!!

And then I FINALLY put it on (and screamed some more):

Front (duh?).

Back.

Because it fit me!!!

So that was my dress for Friday sorted.
When Friday arrived, I felt like a princess so I made myself look like one:

My boobs look small...

I think two pictures were taken of me at the Premier before I got just too emotional about stuff and started crying in the VIP area just before my friends dragged me into a photo with the Loveable Rogues.
Thankfully enough, in that photo there is this random, pink effect on my face and over one of the band members, so no one can see my red eyes.

Otherwise it was quite a good night and a great finish to the long week.
I slept like a baby on Saturday and Sunday, gathering my energy for the following week, which meant lecturers, dance rehearsals, and all kinds of exciting things.

Now, here’s the last nail polish sample!. Well, the last before I show you the NEW polishes I got:

Flormar Supershine Miracle Colors U09.

U09 with Flormar Matifying top-coat.

And that’s it about my extremely interesting life this time. Stay human, and blog ya later!

Oh! Here’s the song that inspired my eye make-up design:

PS. YOU SHOULD MOST PROBABLY VOTE FOR OBAMA IF YOU CAN.

It's not 221b, but it's a home.

As I promised, an update about our new house and mostly, my room :)

Let's kick off with a very artistic picture of our stairs...

My room is on the third floor (Get it? Room on the 3rd Floor? ;D) so in a way I stay fit 'cause I have to run those stairs up and down all the time if I wanna go to the kitchen or the bathroom.
Yes, we only have rooms on the third floor x)

So my room has a double bed:

Picture taken the day after moving in.

Actually, all the rooms have a double bed. But only two of us have these kinds of beds.
It's actually a very nice change after Uni's single bed and the sofa I slept on for nearly two months during summer break x) And besides, before moving to England I had a double bed so it's familiar in a way :3
And aren't my bed sheets cute!? By bed's probably the girliest thing in my room. I kid you not :D

Another girly thing would be the top and surroundings of my dresser:

Never mind the laundry in the crisp box...

And that only because I keep my make ups, nail polishes and such on top of it.
The drawers themselves are FULL of clothes from the top one to the third one. The two bottom ones hold my pyjamas, belts, wigs, towels etc. But the three top ones... they are SO full.
I really need more hangers so I can sort them out...

Some of my clothes are stored in my wardrobe:

You can't see it in this, but there's a drawer at the bottom.

The wardrobe contains my dresses, jackets, shoes and underwear (in the drawer), so there's still room for more hoodies, shirts etc. and hence the need of hangers.
The top is an excellent place to store bags, obviously. The door is decorated with Heidi's art of Sam from Tron: Legacy :3 I'll be adding more to it when I get the chance.

Actually... let me introduce you the ridiculous, old school, wardrobe of my flatmate Sam (whose room is on the second floor, so totally not as cool):

You must be thinking what's so ridiculous about it...

Well, let me open it for you:

On top of the fact that you can go to Narnia through it...

It has a ridiculous amount of silly compartments for... all kinds of (old school) things...

You should've seen my face when I saw these :D

Anyway, back to my room. Yes, it actually has more than just a bed, drawer and a wardrobe!
Like a desk and a chair for example:

Let me tell you, it is a really nice chair.

Well, it's a bit boring to just look at the desk, isn't it? So let me introduce it to you a bit more closely:

Bad picture is bad.

That's pretty much what's currently on it. My laptop Daniel, The X-Files (complete collector's edition), hard drive, speakers, August's Ranzuki, wallet, Post-it notes and sooo on.
You can also see my CD box which only holds about 5 CDs atm and my Nintendo DS holder.

It has 3 drawers, but only one of them is actually interesting:

Mah DVDs!

I counted my DVD-movies (what a stupid word) and I have over 100 (most of them are in Finland) :D I think Tron & Tron:Legacy were my 100th and 101st x) Not counting the TV series.
The other two drawers have papers, pencil case, plastic pockets and other stuff like that so yeah... not as interesting x)

Now to the final piece of furniture, the wall shelf above my desk:

No, I don't have two copies of that book. The thing on top is the detachable cover.

See? Not as girly as my drawer and bed eventhough I tried with the jewelry xD
I think the Iron Man and Thor kinda... overtake it, don't you? :'D
Here you can see all my books, plays and magazines. Yes, mostly plays x)

Btw, I'm thinking about making a post about those accessories and my shorts, but that you have to wait till next week.

Well, that was the last piece of furniture so now I'll just enterntain you with my posters and other pictures that hung on my walls!

Glow in the dark!Tron: Legacy and Kick-Ass with the silly Saints.

Now these two are right above my bed as you can see... waiting for the night one of them falls down and causes me to sh*t my pants...

Marvel Heroes, Friends, the official Saints and Chris Hemsworth :3

I need something next to Mr. Hemsworth... He looks terribly lonely like that and it's so empty to his left (our right) x) I wonder if I could find Mr. Hiddles(ton) from somewhere...
The wall on the other side of my bed is totally empty, but I just ordered Wolverine, Spock and Iron Man 2 posters with my purehmv points so it won't be like that for long 8)

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Yes, my wardrobe actually has these on it. No, it's not disturbing at all when Sherlock stares at you while you sleep.
And yes, it's the British version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It has Daniel Craig :3 And Rooney Mara~

The Legend of the Guardians, Narnia 3 and part of the World

I just had to put these somewhere. Turned out that the door was the best place for them :D

The World, Liverpool calendar and my movie "bulletin board"

I think the only one asking for explanation is the movie bulletin board:

Ta-dah!

There are usually way too many films I want to see. So I decided to make this so I can keep up what comes out and when and whether I want to see them bad or just see them x)
At the moment the "gonna see so hard" side has seven films so it's only one more than the "like to see" side :D

Presents from friends, my dad and Agent P!

Now, I'm not usually one to put pictures of just myself on the walls BUT that Everybody Dance collage I got from Eeva and I really like it AND it reminds me of my lovely parapara students... so I just had to put it there :D The drawing next to it is from Jenni~
Then there's a picture of my dad from... I don't even know what year. He's standing next to a... I'm not even sure what car xD But I like the picture and it's a way to keep him close.
Agent P, because... it's PERRY! :D
I still have some stuff to put up to be honest...

Btw, it's pretty difficult to put posters on the walls in a house that barely has ANY straight lines:


Well.. those were all the pictures and posters so I guess that's about i--- HOLD IT!

I do have a window in my room!

Dark picture is dark.

My window sill is actually big enough for me to sit on it, so sometimes I do just that. Sit on it and look outside (or read something).
The vue is nothing special, but I still like it:

Paavo and Tane. Paavo's having some troubles right now ;__;

If I actually stick my head out enough, I can see pretty far down the street. It's pretty cool. I can see the best of the architecture (roof tops) when I look out :)

Now. That's about it.
Next time: stories-but-not-stories about my shorts and accessories, till then stay human and let me amuse you with my geeky desires:

I SO wanna add a X after Charles.

I also wanna add "BI" to the beginning and "ION" to the end so it'd read "BIFROST STATION".

UPDATE. FINALLY. YES.

Okay, I've been a very, very bad person and I have no excuses.
The truth is our internet actually was down for like 5 days or something but then it got fixed on Tuesday (16th) and since then, instead of updating, I've been just watching The X-Files, The Mentalist and going through tumblr, A LOT.

But here we go. Have my attempt of making things okay by throwing a bunch of pictures and small stories of the previous weeks.

So right BEFORE I flew back to England I went to Ropecon, where I larped, had tons of fun with my friends and made some new friends.
I got new badges and other school stuff:

Badges in Finnish would translate as:
The green - Jailbaitaxe (does NOT make sense in English, I know, but it's kind of a word play in Finnish)
The blue - Early cougar (HAHAHA. Inside joke that I'll try to explain a bit soon)
The violet - You're 16, I hope? (kinda hard to translate because of the double meaning :D)

Before Ropecon, I spent a week at a summer camp with my ninja friends and during that we somehow established that I'm an early cougar who just happens to like people under 18 :'''D
Mostly weird jokes, but I couldn't resist getting those badges (I custom made the 'Early cougar'), ESPECIALLY after becoming friends with a 15-year old at Ropecon x))

I even got a cool t-shirt from Ropecon (TRADITION!) :3

Anyhow. Like I said earlier, soon after Ropecon I flew back to England.
After I had dyed my hair blonde, of course.

(Picture taken in England so I am cheating here a bit.)

After being surrounded by people 24/7 for two months in Finland AND getting settled to the new house in nearly a day I spent a week of nonexistent privacy and lone time during which I also hunted for jobs.

My very "tidy" room during that week. (Stuff on that pile... obviously NOT mine.)

I did see Super 8 during that week so I guess I got something NOT stressfull out of that.

Oh, btw, you'll be getting a nice slice of my life- post where I'm gonna be introducing my room in the new house as soon as I manage to decorate it and take more photos :3

Let's see... after the first week of being back in England I spent time hunting for more jobs and going around shops with my nonexistent money.

First when I saw these I got really happy and then really sad 'cause I had no money ;__;

I did get these new shoes just because I'll be needing them when Uni kicks off again.

I also spent my nonexistent money on movies. But maaaan, I could NOT not see Captain America and Harry Potter 8!!!


My reactions to:
Captain America - Excited before, during AND after the movie?? Only EXTREMELY! I even cried a bit, especially when they showed trailer for Avengers AFTER the movie.
Harry Potter - I knew I was going to cry so I didn't put any make up on. Thank goodness I didn't. I cried for at least half an hour straight. And my gosh how they have grown up and ASASSDASDD ;__;
So yeah, I'm emotional and get, easily, emotionally attached to fictional characters. Shoot me.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, but I was in a big money trouble which also caused me a huge rent problem and then Kela was being a beeetch (like always) and so I had to... take a study loan. And quite a big amount of that too.

And then, for some IDIOTIC reason, I decided it'd be a great idea to spend some of that money to something else than living. Like...


a black top (I had a good reason for buying it!)
a black cardigan vest thingy (also a very good reason)
Gosh trio eye shadow TR20 Tropic Fever (a good reason)
Gosh Velvet Touch eye primer (not that good reason, for of a "Ooh, wanna try.")
Kick-Ass (not any reason)
Sherlock Holmes (not any reason)
Tron & Tron: Legacy (not any reason, but turned out one of these is 100th movie on DVD I own)
AND...

Perry the Platypus- chocolate lollipop! (My reason for this: It's Perry.)

So yeah... My defence on buying the movies is the fact they were "only" 24 pounds all together!!!
And the good reason for everything else was my friend's Star Wars-themed birthday party for which I had no proper costume... so I kinda made one up myself. LOL.

My make up and hair for the night. See, I actually used the Gosh I got! :D

And my faithful, awesome, self-made lightsaber.

It was a fun night. I loved when Claire, dressed as Darth Vader, attacked a random Scot (at least I think he was a Scot) with a lightsaber. Priceless.
I also found one of the funniest street/place names in Worcester that night:

LET ME LOL.

I think that's about it... yeah, next time I'll let you know what my room looks like and some other funny facts/things about our new house.
Till then, take care and stay human.

Take a look a these rubber ducks.

These three duckies, which I named (from left) Dean, John and Sam btw, are (hopefully) on their way to Canada now.
