I want to make a new website. Anything. As long as it’s interactive to me. At least for a while. I thought of making a new fanlisting, I’ve even applied for a few, but still waiting to hear back. I thought of a webring, can’t think of a topic somebody hasn’t already made a webring of. I’m mostly anti-clique, I avoid joining too many of them, so I can’t make one, can I? And a fansite, out of the question. Too time consuming, and I’m not dedicated enough for that kind of things. I’m lost. And bored out of my mind. I knew it. This always happens during my vacations. I am so totally bored, and all my friends are busy and un-bored. Un-bored without me. So I’m bored. And ther’s pretty much nothing I can do about it.

*pout*

I can’t make a new layout yet. I can’t. It’s too soon. I haven’t even gotten used to this yet. And I’m at least keeping it till the holidays are over.

I’m even bored of watching movies, and playing on the Playstation. Even my ROTK game is growing boring. I am so lost. I can’t read one page of Queen of the Damned without becoming bored. That’s how bored I am.

Someone please help me?

Merry Christmas everyone! Christmas Eve is, after all, the celebration day in Finland, and Christmas Day is kinda like sabbath, no celebration. I also received a Christmas card from Anukk, so check that out here. Thanks! I love it!

A new simple layout to celebrate the holiday, and a new layout over at the Mercedes Lackey fanlisting. Switched it completely to php, just like with Heraldic Circle a while ago.

Blah blah, what else. Mom’s pissed at everything, she’s really stressed, so I won’t hold it against her. I’m just the kind of person who gets pissed when other people are pissed, so I’m quite pissed! Easily tortured. Pal’s not happy-go-lucky either, so we’ll just see what kind of a Christmas it’ll be.

I started my driving lessons today, and may I just tell you all right now to stay far away from me when I’m behind the wheel! I was totally crap, the only thing I did okay was change gear. I drove the car “accidentally” into a pile of snow, the motor went off, like five times, when I failed to keep the clutch thing down before I was pedalling the accelerator. And I accidentally turned off the lights when I tried to turn on the turn indicator. What else? The guy teaching me made me drive back to the school after the lesson in full rush hour, and it was like two kilometers! I was seriously under pressure.

So yeah, that’s my warning. Don’t come near me before I have the driver’s license to prove I’m not a moron.

Oh yeah! I bought the extended edition of The Two Towers on Friday, as well as The Return of the King for PS2. The Two Towers was superlong, but I loved it! I’m super much in love with it, and I don’t regret I bought it. I still think, though, that I need the normal version as well, because it takes a lot to watch the 214 min long version. And I can see why the scenes were cut from the cinema final cut.
I’m almost through the game, I haven’t gone yet to the extra levels after The Crack of Doom, but I’ve reached both extras, with Aragorn, Sam, and Gandalf in the 13th level (you have to pass 10th level). I’m trying to save some playing for later, it’s difficult, but what’s teh fun in playing it all in one day? Besides, I still suck with the super combo moves.

Ok. Maybe that’s enough. I’m tired now. It was a stressful day. Gimme some cred.

Return of the King was just the awesomest! I have serious LOTR-withdrawal going on. I NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN! NOW!!! This just has to be the greatest and best trilogy I’ve ever seen. I haven’t ever seen anything like it, not until Wednesday. And it was really true to the book even! I really wanted to cry the whole movie, but it was just too exciting to get teary-eyed. I have never experienced a movie theater as quiet as during the movie. It was epic. Really huge. It was the best closure I’ve ever seen.

So, tomorrow I’m going to buy Return of the King for PS2, and the extended edition of The Two Towers. I only got paid on Tuesday, so I haven’t had the money, nor the time to buy it till now. I’ll probably re-read the trilogy as soon as Pal can get through her first time with FOTR.

I can’t believe it’s over! Over three years of anticipation, and now there’s nothing to anticipate anymore. It’s really sad. And how am I supposed to have the patience to wait till the extended edition of ROTK comes out next fall? My life is over! But I can die happy now! I’ve seen the entire series!

I can’t stop babbling, so I better stop writing. Let me just tell you all that The Lord of the Rings is one of few best things in my life. Yes, I am that desperate. It makes me complete.

I miss the fellowship already. They were so cute together.

I’ll shut up now.

Look! Anukk sent me a b-day card! Whee, thank you so much, it made my day! View the image! It’s gorgeous!

We went first to see Love Actually at the cinema with mom and Pal, I liked it, and I was particularly pleased to see a bit of Andrew Lincoln, I’ve liked him ever since I saw Teachers for the first time. That was a positive experience in itself, and then we went to a restaurant for dinner. It was a tiny and lovely place, but there were a lot of people there for business parties, so the place was kind of crowded and loud. But all things considered I think it was a nice night out, the food was delicious and so on, so the only negative feeling I have from the night is a headache from the redwine.

Well, I have yet another story to tell about “the computer from hell”:
Last week, totally unexpected, the computer started freezing and hanging on start up. The old problem we thought we’d gotten rid of was back! So, this time mom faxed the store with a really nice attitude about it, and they called us back. They promised to take the machine apart, and put in new parts in it, give us a new computer, in a way. So then I had to back up all the stuff I ahd on the computer. Mom even got us CD-RWs for burning, but figures, by the time we get to the burning part the computer refuses to do anything. And I mean anything! So Pal called them in again, and the promised to make back ups if we put all the files we wanted to save in one folder. So they brought us our computer yesterday afternoon, and when I checked it when we got back from the restaurant, I noticed that the surround system I talked about last time didn’t exist anymore. Now we have a totally functioning computer, but I can only plug in two of the surround wires out of three. Grr. Nothing ever goes right. But as long as this works correctly, I’m happy. They, luckily, decided to change the motherboard to an entirely different type. Maybe it’ll work better this time. Next week we’ll call about the sound system.

I’ve been incredibly tired lately, like tired, in the way that I sleep over 12 hours a day, easily. I’ll probably be heading to bed soon, I’ll check the rest of my e-mail and then read a little. (I’m re-reading Queen of the Damned! It’s exciting.)

Later for now!
