The Meme of the Night.

Okay, this is really long so feel free to skip it. I wasn't too fond of writing it either but since I couldn't come up with anything else for the Meme...

The first concert: Apart from the obligatory religious concerts at school… Nightwish 26.12.2005.
The first artist you remember hearing at home: I’m not sure it was the first… Turo’s Hevi Gee or something similar it was.

The latest long road trip: Two hours in a car exercising my patience as I had to listen to Yölintu the entire time. The longest two hours I’ve spent in a car.

The latest substance you’ve drunken: I’m drinking my mix of Sprite and Pepsi Max.
The latest nagging: There’s been lately a lot of complaining and pure anger towards me but no nagging.

I want: good grades and a summer job.
I have: Tipu/Tweetie on my desk.
I hope: I get what I want. And world peace. *waving*
I hate: drunken people.
I hear: “taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme/ kaikuu kallioilla äänii totuuden/ verivalan taika on aina suojanamme/ tuo merkki metallisen veljeydeeeeeeeeeen…”

I’m confused: by myself at times.
I need: someone to confide in perfectly.

Do you keep a diary? Blog is a diary, so yes (more or less regularly, anyway; I’m like a spree killer when it comes to adding blog entries…).
Do you think cooking is fun? Cooking? No. No satisfaction.
Do you have a secret you’ve never told anybody? Don’t we all. Although I have to admit that the number of secrets has decreased for I met Wanderer. Now there only are the really dark ones.
Have you kissed someone of the opposite sex? Reluctantly. With passion? Never.
Do you like being photographed? No. You should have seen the photographer's numerous attempts to make me smile when he was taking my confirmation picture. Well, if it’s any consolation, they make me smile now.
Have you climbed a tree within the last three months? Alas, no.
Have you ever inhaled helium from a balloon to get to speak in a funny voice? No, I haven’t. I like my voice the way it is.

Do you want to get married? Hopefully some day.
Do you have a tendency of sickness while travelling? No.
Are you a health enthusiast? Not exactly… =)
Do you get along with your parents? We can share a living space for a few days if no one annoys another on purpose (and a certain person isn’t drunk).
Do you like thunder storms? They’re beautiful!
The current colour of you hair? Dyed black, my own brown colour visible on top of my head.

Your favourite …

Number? Five.

Month: September through March.
Season: Late autumn, winter and early spring. See how they're parallel?
Drink: Cold Pepsi Max, possibly with ice cubes.
Tree: All the big ones are especially nice.

Which one…

Being soooo cute or making out? Being serious (this is so me; make me choose between A and B and I choose C).
Cold or hot coco: Hot coco.
Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate: C) The combination in Kinder eggs.
Vanilla or chocolate: C) Mint with chocolate flakes and mint jelly. That’s what keeps me from hibernating through summers.
Strawberry or rasberry: Strawberries, a little icy, covered in sugar, please.
Potatoes, rice or pasta: Pasta.
Sunrise or sunset: Sunrise has some special magic due to the fact I rarely see it.
Stars or the Moon: C) Both.

During the last 24 hours, have you…

Cried? No.
Helped someone? Helped a co-student at the IT class.
Bought something? Groceries.
Been sick? I have actually; something came and went yesterday.
Been to movies? No.
Eaten out? No.
Said ”I love you”? Unfortunately, no.
Written a real letter? No. I really should exercise that long-forgotten art of using a pen.
Spoken to an ex? No.
Missed an ex? No.
Written a diary? Yes, this blog.
Talked about something seriously? With Wanderer about the baby thing that started yesterday. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but today it has seemed liked I’ve seen babies everywhere; in the library there was this cute toddler dressed like a Michelin man staring at me as I walked down the stairs and he stared at my feet (???) as I walked past him. Okay, got side-tracked again, sorry.
Missed someone? Yes.
Hugged someone? Alas, no. I wish I had.
Had a row with a friend? No.

Could you ever… (ed. note: “could” meaning I would do it WITHOUT resistance)

Kiss someone of the same sex? Naturally.
Go bungee jumping? Sure. The Bloukrans river, again.
Skydive? Would be interesting. The courses are pretty expensive, though.
Kill anyone? Yes, to protect myself or those I love.
Walk on steaming pieces of cole? There was a possibility to so that here last autumn. I regret I didn’t go there although it was, too, quite expensive.
Be a vegetarist/vegetarian? No.
Punch a stranger? If I had a reason to; again, to protect myself or those I care about.
Sing karaoke? No.
Get completely wasted? No, I don’t drink alcohol.
Shop lift? I have, actually.
Watch porn? Not at the moment; in general, yes.
Dye your hair blue? I actually have black-and-blue stripes in my hear.
Take part in Suuri Seikkailu/Survivors etc.? No.
Walk in public with make-up? Not if I only can avoid it.
Walk in public without make-up? 24/7 365 days a year.
Cheat in an exam? I have, actually, in seventh grade. The alternative wasn’t particularly appealing.
Make someone cry? Yes.
Stay up all night? I’m a nocturnal being. Last summer I was usually up to see the sunrise, and went to bed as the rest of the country woke up.

I found this particular Victoria Frances painting by accident. I fell for it right away.
