New Year's Eve

It's like New Year's Eve and stuff. I got like a lot in my mind right now. And it bothers me like hell when Aleksi is keeping me away from blogging when I really really really would like to blog. Like earlier he wanted to watch a movie even though I said I like need to blog in case I feel tired later and feel like not to. Blah.

Today we ate @ Chico's. It's not like the greatest restaurant in the world but it's cheap. And they have a lot of chicken in their menu. I don't really eat red meat unless it's like minced. And later I went shopping by myself. Which reminded me when Aleksi said that I should have a girlfriend too, in case I would like to go shopping or something. I was like "who are you talking about". Anyway. I bought some cut-price underwear, though I didn't really have like selection. I only wear black bras. Not because I like to wear black in general, which by the way is also true, but because if they were like pink or any other light color I would wash them with my regular dark clothes anyway and they would turn to an ugly shade of grey instead of nice pink. So that's why I go for black, because black stays black. And the other reason for the lack of selection is that I got like a very standard bosom so there were no my size left.

I have tried to go for new bands lately and it's not like easy. I tried some of my sister's favorites. Since she quite obviously loved Mors Principium Est I thought I could like whatever she's listening to too. First I tried out Cradle Of Filth. It sounded quite OK until the singing began. Sorry, but no, I don't have a Donald Duck fixation. I don't know if you're even supposed to listen to it seriously. Then I tried out Soilwork but it was a disappointment too. It was like filled too much with angst and sounded quite much like Disturbed and I don't really like that either. I have never thought myself as picky listener but I guess I am what comes to the genres I like most.

I think I should list the highlights of 2007 now when it's ending. OK, here they come: I quit school. I got my first job. I made new terrific friends. I saw Evanescence live. I learned more about CSS and web usability and stuff. I started a new blog (and got rid of it later). I switched to Ubuntu... Pretty boring, ha? Anyway. Let's see what the new year brings to me. Hopefully more of this and a lot more.

Tiididii

Yesterday night I started to blog. But suddenly I started to feel very tired and I decided to close my eyes for a moment. And then I napped for like two hours and finally I gave up on blogging and went to bed.

Yesterday I also tried to listen to some music at work. Two people asked what I was listening. I think it is a really personal question. There are music that you're supposed to like smoke. Something light that you can play on the background. And then there are music that you have to shoot in to your veins to get the real kick out of it. And my drug use is something I rather keep myself. Anyway. I still like to talk about music in general, especially when someone who knows my taste recommends new bands to me. I just don't want to show my inner n00b when it comes to music. I hardly know any cool bands and I guess I mostly listen to some mainstream shit.

Yesterday I also hang out with a friend. And I managed to serve better tea than last time... though I only boiled the water.

I feel like totally dragged down by life. But it's going to be a new year, new places, new faces and new stuff. I hope that cheers me up since I really hate to be this way.

Updated and upgraded

Now it's just me. All my favorite boys are gone. In a way it's like an itch you can't scratch. I know it doesn't sound like a nice metaphor but it's like an amputated leg. It's missing but you can still feel it itching. Anyway. It's not as bad as it could be since M. is still there. Though soon M. is quitting too. Is this like some official quitting month and someone forgot to tell me?

I have upgraded my hair. My mother dyed it a bit blonder and cut it a bit shorter. And it was like a miracle: suddenly I looked like a girl again. It was only like five centimeters off and the same hair color I have used so many times. So how can it make such a big change? Or am I only imagining?

What I got this year

Now we have ate and all the presents have been opened. This was indeed a very good year for me:

- Four books, two by my favorite author Paulo Coelho, some random titled "The Meaning of Life" and "Suuri Poptoivelaulukirja 3".
- Two shirts, pajama, some socks and slippers
- Gift token to the Body Shop
- Some sauna accessory
- Projector clock
- Free tickets to Finnkino
- Towel and other bath accessories
- Hammer
- Two whiskers
- Citrus juicer
- Money
- USB finger dance mat
- In-ear headphones
- Nice selection of tea bags and a jar to store loose tea
- Bookmark
- Taika mug by Iittala

There is a chance I missed something. But I'm sure I mentioned everything important.

What I got last year.

The book

This is awesome. I remembered that I brought a book!!! And I started to read it and now I'm feeling a lot less bored!!! The book (Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger) seems to be complete nonsense but hey, it has 515 pages. And we are probably going to eat within an hour. Whoa.

OMG. My aunt sneaked behind me and nearly gave an heart attack. Thank you very much.
