A new try and a meme
I wonder why I still have a paid lj account even though I hardly ever post anything. I guess I just like having over a hundred icons to choose from (I have about 700 on my computer so that one hundred doesn't even feel like enough sometimes ( Read more... ) -
Independence Day
Happy Independence Day, Finland!
You know what? I really love crossovers. Yesterday, I bumped into this fancomic that fuses together Merlin and the Twelve Kingdoms (Merlin characters in a Twelve Kingdoms inspired setting). That is simply too awesome for words. And for my fellow Merlin fans, I encourage you to take a look even if you've never ( Read more... ) -
Short update
What made my day today:
And:
How I wish I could sing. I've always lamented the fact that I can't seem to sing one song without my throat hurting like crazy, and now I've discovered that apparently I'm not the only with that problem and apparently I'm breathing wrong. I'd love to go to singing (or breathing) lessons so that I could learn how to ( Read more... ) -
Of work and fanfic
Just when I'd resolved to give up on job hunting for the rest of the summer and concentrate on writing my thesis, I somehow managed to get a job. It's basic cashier work, and I'll be taking random shifts in different grocery stores around the city starting next week. It might mean that I won't finish my thesis in time to graduate by the end of this ( Read more... ) -

Anime icons, batch #3
It's been a long time since I last posted icons, but here I am again with a new batch. This post includes both new icons and old ones that I just never got around to publishing until now ( Read more... ) -
Of neurotic habits and adjusting problems
Sometimes I really wish I could just stop and think for a while before acting. Especially after I start having a nervous breakdown over something small and completely stupid. I've always known that I'm somewhat neurotic about some things (for example, that my kitchenware is organized and that nothing there gets moved around too much), but I thought ( Read more... ) -
Of studying Japanese... again
I confess I haven't been studying Japanese as hard as I should lately. It's easy to make up excuses (looking for summer jobs is too stressful, my mind is occupied by my master's thesis which I'm thinking of constantly but not actively working on, etc.), but I would actually have lots of time for it if I chose to spend my time better. I'm just ( Read more... ) -
Of thesis proscastination
Two weeks and six days ago, my thesis adviser gave me three weeks to write a part of my Master's thesis. She jokingly said that she wasn't expecting me to turn in twenty pages quite yet, so I'm wondering exactly what she'll think if I only turn in a couple of pages. I managed to write a page and a half the other day, but today I only managed to ( Read more... ) -
End of hiatus... hopefully
