Sorry, I’ve been busy, and extremely tired. I’ve cought some kind of super flu that doesn’t come out, but mingles here and there, if you know what I mean. I have a reason to believe it’s partly pollen, however, my throat has never been sore because of pollen before. I’m sneezing more than I sleep. And my head is constantly pounding itself to a mush. And regarding the sneezing comment, I don’t sleep that well.

I should really go to work.

Anyway, Pal’s officially moved back in. All of her moving stuff are scattered all over the place, and it’s really messy. We need to clean this place, and set up her bookcase before things start to happen. Yeah, oh joy. Dear mother is so pleased.

I really should go to work.

Anyway. I don’t have much to tell. I’m being utterly boring and selfpitying here.

And I should leave, and go to work.

deliver me.

Easter was Hell, mildly put. I managed to shut myself out of most of the madness by reading my book, which I am in love with!

My dad is crazy! And his wife even crazier! I never want to see them again! Especially the wife. She’s mean, horrible, and EVIL! I can’t believe a person can be that…awful! Always pretending, but yet so damned transparent.

Easter was Hell. Never has four days felt this long, agonizingly long. I’ve never felt Easter as a long suffering before, but I can really reflect on how it really is, symbolism or not.

Work starts tomorrow. I still have to fix some things at school, I just realized, but otherwise it’s all over! I feel kind of empty. And meaningless.

Easter and misc.

I managed to mutilate my new mobile phone already. It fell on the balcony floor (rock hard, mind you) and the cover has a few scratches, that are non-mendable. Either I’ll have to change the top-cover to the silver thing I got when I bought the phone, or I’ll have to buy a new blue one. Sad, I know. I break everything I touch.

I’ve been updating my fanlistings fer the past few days. I’ve changed the codes to 50×50 instead of 100×50, which wasn’t a tiny job. Tidious, very tidious. But it’s now done! Yay.

So Easter has been hell. I can’t tell you much more. I have an awful headache, and I really don’t want to do anything. I should be cleaning this stupid room, but blah, who wants to be cleaning on their precious holiday? Work starts on Tuesday, and all I wanna do is sleep!

We’re going meet dad and our great-uncle tomorrow. I’ll hope that’ll be a nice change to this stupid normality. At least I get to drive. Driving soothes me.

life’s over, man!

First, a super HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAL! And no, you’re not old yet! The prime of life, man, the prime of life! Sorry I couldn’t make it funner for your celebration day, I’ll make it up some day! And remember our “pact”!

Well, life’s boring again. I just finished most of my finals-project, both the practical part and the essay part. Frankly, I’m glad my hands’re washed clean. Tomorrow it’s time to “sell” my project for my class, and then it’s all over.

My life’s over!

Night school’s done and over with as well, we had our last class tonight, and now I’ll just have to wait for May 28, graduation day. I can’t believe it’s all over. Tomorrow’s the final day of school, then’s Easter, and after easter I start working again. Wohoo! I’ll have time to take advantage of my gym card!

Now starts the time for studying for the university application tests. Yay!

I’m still stunned. I did a hell of a lot more better than I ever thought I would. That’s all I can say.

Plugs to Tinúviel and Anukk for commenting the new layout! Thanks, you guys rock!

the one with a very tired human being

First, answered questions:

1. What’s the font you used on this layout? (val’s note: the charlize one)
Well, I think this person answered his/her own question in his/her next question. But for clarity, I used Serlio (for “ashke.nu”), and Palace Script (for the semi-transparent “charlize theron”).

2. Where did you get the font Serlio? For free?
I did get it for free. I don’t know if it’s a freeware font, or not, but I most likely got it from a mailing list. For privacy and legal reasons, I won’t post the name. It is public though, so it is possible to find it on the net. Try doing a font search, you might get lucky. Beware of those “fonts for f.ree” websites, since they really aren’t very free. Either it really costs hard cash, or you pay with having your computer infected by some virus.

Second: new layout! I got tired with the cheeryness and lightness and dysfunctionality in the Charlize one. Not that I don’t like Charlize, but I just grew bored.

Yessshh…I’m tired, I’m exhausted, and busy as hell. I have a deadline coming up, for my “finals”, the photography porject I was talking about earlier. The image in this layout is one of the lucky few which are ok. Not the model’s fault, but mine, for being a lousy amateur and all. Half a roll went spoilt, by me giving the film too much light. But hey, who gives. Whatever. But I have to work tomorrow, and the deadline’s on Monday. And I still have a lot of pictures to make. Panic. I don’t know what to do.

My matricular exams went well enough *hemhem*, I’m being super modest here. I got fricking Eximia cum laude approbatur in Maths (short course) and Cum laude approbatur in Swedish (shameful, I know), and Eximia (barely, with 260 points) in Finnish as well. These are, of course, preliminary points, but still! What is bugging me the most is that all my teachers have told me that “I’ve done better”! Aggrevating.

Done hyperventilating. I’m just glad it’s over man.

Well, should really get some sleep. I’ve got nothing to talk about. Not even after finishing Magic’s Price for the third time! Heartbreaking, man. I wanna be a Herald! Fits for plugging Heraldic Circle and Mercedes Lackey fanlisting. Go go join, and if you don’t know what it is, FIND OUT, and READ! READ this awesome author and especially her series of the Valdemaran Heralds! Makes your heart ache! Whee. I’ll prolly read ‘em again in the summer just for the heck of it. Lalala…
