Babble babble, bitch bitch

First I must apologize, this post will be just random babble without anything that would interest you. But I just have to write it down to get it off my mind. I'm annoyingly obsessed person. With "have to"s. So to make that up for you, I'll add few photos in the end. Whether you are interested in or not.8D  If you ARE interested in, you are free to scroll down. Now.

So, guess what? I got sick again. Last week strated with 39C fever. It was gone with in few days and got replaced with annoying cough. So I spent the week doing nothing (read: reading, internet and loads and loads of sleep). And the mood kinda sticks. So I haven't started the project LR (limb restraint in case you've forgotten, if there is anyone out there). Haven't even thought about it.
Also, I'm hoping I'm able to move within next, hmmmm, six (?) months. I'm not too hopeful about it 'tou. I should work harder to find a flat. A job is the other option but since I've got friends who have been unemployed for a long long time I'm can't say I'd be too hopeful about that.

So what have I been up to then (besides job&flat hunting)? I've been cleaning. For your information, I hate cleaning. I'm not filthy person, but dusty yes and quite messy too. I wouldn't be that messy if I had a little less stuff. And that's what I've been working on for for months and months. It's a slow process since I've collected this amount of stuff during my lifetime.
Last summer I had the exactly same furniture and decorative items I've had for almost over 10 years. Yeah, you read that correctly. Some for longer time, some for a bit lesser. I had these huge, mahogany-coloured bookshelves that I bought with my dad longlong time ago, and a workingdesk that was bought at the same time.
I loved the shelves, but they were annoying when moving. AND, what's more important, they had eaten a h u g e amount of stuff that I didn't actually even need or want anymore.

I just had got used to that stuff.

So, when my ex, that was living almost next door, said that she was moving to another city and didn't have the room for the diningtable I had designed and our friend had made (he's graduated as carpenter) things started rolling. It didn't come to anyanyany question that it would be sold or given away. As I love huge, large furniture, it just so happened to be that it was almost the same size as my old table that was about to fall apart anyways. So, the diningtable of my dreams moved to live with me. And then I started to dream about getting rid of the shelves too. It started this prjoect I've been doing during the winter.
I've managed to get rid of huge pile of stuff. Still a lot to go trough though. But I'm woring on it.

My biggest problem is, that when I get an idea, ANY idea. I have to do it. Immidiately. So, I've known for a long time that my storage room downstairs needed to be cleaned too. And few days ago I made up my mind, the time is now.

So yesterday, instead of doing it, I started to avoid it (and that's the second problem, avoiding fullfilling the boring ideas you just have to do). Instead I ended up trying to relocate my furniture. It didn't work out. So I put everything back to their places. BUT I did manage to clean the floor (vacuuming AND washing,  I just don't do that) and organize my coffee table which I hardly ever do either.

But, no matter how hard you try to avoid the stuff you want to do, you have to do it in the end. So today I spent going trough some boxes of stuff, five full ones turned into two. Not bad. For a start. There are still quite many more to go trough. But first I need to make myself to drag those to a local trift store. It's not that far away, a kilometer or so, but I tend to forget what I was going to do when I'm going to do it. It wouldn't be the first time when I go out to take something to somewhere and realize halfway that I had forgotten, what ever I was going to take, home.

Hopefully, at some point, I'll be a person with less random & useless stuff and more that I really need and want to own.

(Btw, do you know anyone around here who would want to buy an old piano?)

And here are the photos:

"Human, you may leave now. At least one of us must work!" she said nodding above my colouring pencils, being as approbative about those as a dachshund can be. She would have created art, larger than life, if she only had thumbs. But because she doesn't, she ended up on the floor and I kept on using pencils myself.

When you look up, up, up you see blue sky and can almost imagine snow has melted enough for me to use more narrow (?) heels.<:

I had to take a selfie the day when I went to sign under a citizens' initiative about equal rights to marriage no matter what your sexual orientation is. And I'm so sorry if I got that wordmons wrong.>: Feel free to correct of ask more of what I thinkt I wrote there.8D

Almost no ice at all! And don't get me wrong, I love winter too. I just feel like I could have use for a spring now.

Today I woke up when a mailman brought a letter from my schoolmate. It had this note saying "Surpriseeeee" and some evil laughter after that. Few days earlier she had asked for the adress of our other friend to send her a surprise. I had no clue that i was going to get one too.<3

So, this evening most of the puffy stickers ended up decorating my iPod and cell. And now they look like a 5-year-old kid would own them. Purrrfect. And one of the best parts was that she had sent that to me using a stamp with Krista Kosonen, who is an amazing Finnish actor (I know, I sould say actress) and well, hot too.



SO, that's for todays pointless post. I hope the next one will have more interesting content. Btw, how do I end the caption and get back to "normal writing"? !PLEH I NEED !PLEH

To create and to be and to do-be-do-be-doo.

Do you have to be annoyingly depressed person to be able to create some real deep shit?
 

So, I put this blog up in fall of 2010. Back then I had the idea of updating here about my "creative projects". I'm not sure about the creative-part anymore. To be honest. I'm not sure about anything at all.
I'm not even sure if the language should be finnish or english. In the name of fair game I should probably give swedish a chance too. I mean. No matter what the language is I'll be known for the mis-typings and nonchalant behaviour of my own spelling. So I'm quite sure that depending on my mood the language will change, many many times.

Back then I was overwhelmed byt the fact that I had started to do stuff again. And less than a month later I stopped it, again. Once more.
Now I'm re-writing the opening for this thing that is to be called A BLOG.

In the name of honesty, I'm a mess. To everyone else my life is a mess too. So is my home. And everything I have got anything to do with. So I'm quite sure that if I'm able to start blogging even somewhat regularly it's going to take quite a while to figure out what kind of a blog this ends up being.

So, maybe I should list down the stuff I'm into to get a more clear view?

Photography


But then again, I'm not one of those who are into cameras. I've been using the same lens/objective/what so ever (see what I ment?) that came with my EOS 1000D when I bought it (summer 2008 was it?), the one with Image Stabilizer. So it's more like I'll be filling this blog with photos more than talking about photography itself.
When it comes to photography I don't 'belive' into photoshopping. Cropping is the only thing I do, if I do something. In my opinion a photographer should learn to take photos that look good without 'shoppin' them. And when it comes to portraits, well, I feel like we've seen quite too much of "a bit re-touched" portraits.
What I appriciate in digital cameras is the fact that I can learn to shoot where the actions happening, no need to try and hope for the best. I can see right away if I was right at all about the position and the lighting. Hmm, seems like my listing is turning out as ranting. So to the next subject. Maybe I should just list stuff here, and then do update about each part and how it affects my life etc?


Yeah, that I'll do.

Clothing (vintage, fashion, what ever, you name it, I'll rant. Again.8D )

I tried to search for a photo that would work as an example of my realtionship with clothing, but realized that there wasn't only one photo to describe it. Except me, smiling. Because that's what clothes do to me, make me smile.
(Btw, if you are against leather etc, please, leave now. I'm the person who eats meat and rather uses fur, since it's way more ecological than fake materials.)

Under this "category" goes too making new ones (I have to take a decent photo of my graduationpartydress that I made last month) and modifying old ones. I've done that ever since 7th grade or so. Biggest problem seems to be taking before, w-i-p and after -photos. But here is the result of my latest one, inspired by a trip to Great, Stunning America a bit less than a year ago and as you can see, fashion too.

And in the pic up above you can see small part of that next interest, a 5-year-old dachshund bitch.

I'm not much of a dogperson. I'm not that much into pets at all. I do like animals, but didn't plan to have a dog of my own at least not n o w. She just surprised me a bit less than year ago by stealing my heart. Not saying that it has been easy road to become a person with dog but haven't regretted it at all. But, she has become something I tend to call Liebchen, daily.

And this is getting out of my hands no.8D No one will read a post this long.oO So I'll end this one here and think about this stuff for a while. Hopefully I'll return to this within a few days.


Today is a good day to start, if you didn't start already. So live.
