Half an hour this day gone. *sigh* I'm not sleepy, not at all. I might have known, drinking coffee after six in the evening does seem to have that effect on me.
News Flash: My CD-write is working mighty fine now. Thanks Tommi! Yea, I feel like an idiot, he comes and takes one look at my comp, does some re-wiring and presto! I only hope it'll continue to work in the future as well.
So, there we are, sitting on the floor, playing Worms Armageddon (the screen being on the table!), laughing our heads off. Neither one of us had played the game for a while, so the aim was according to it... One word: lousy. Anyways, I had great time, you are tons of fun, the sunshine of my life. So, thanks againg, for fixing my comp & holding me tight. *swoons & dies* I needed that, really, and I haven't felt that good for a, well, for a very long time.

Sister dear asked me to read her aswers to 200 stupid questions. I did and stole them & gave my answers, just as stupid. So, 200 stupid Q&A with equally stupid answers. Have fun!
Sorry to leave you so soon, Air America on telly in 2 minutes.

All right, this was one of those days again, i.e. all technical appliances that even remotely resembled a comp messed with me. Yep. Throw out of window and leap right after to end my misery. And be run over by a train. Just nice.
OK, it's Neste-rally time of the year and this time I really really wanted to go, but no can do, gotta work. I would've been fun. So, I come home and sit @ my comp thinking that I check who's winning & so on. Should not have done that, not in a million years. *runs around in circles & pulls hair off out of shere frustration & anger* Confession: in my teenage years I simply loved this band, Bogart co. (no comments!!!) and tonight was the night they did a come back, playing in Jyväskylä! And I am in another city & hours too late! *screams very loud*
...God really must hate me...
So, sister dear put up this clique, postcard . Go see. The idea is very simple and I, for one thing, think that I do deserve, at the very least, a Christmas Card from Liam Neeson. Why? For supporting him in Boorman's Excalibur from the *magic* year of 1981... I have seen that film and half the time I was convinced that the dudes were not serious. The acting was right down horrendous! ...Hmmmm, should I laugh or cry? Oh. Please! Bottom line: The film was crap, but Liam Neeson needs to be credited for his role. A lad who is 6ft4 tall, well, you have to take him seriously, especially with a sword in his hand.
I said my piece, now you do the same, join the club, vote your 'favourite'.

Yesterday was a better day. Thanks to mr. Bell & wireless communication.... *grins*
My comp, the cd-writer, is still very much dead. I can get it open, with a paper clip, but that's absolutely all that it does.
.....Does the word 'paper clip' mean anything to anyone??? Question of the day: Have I been watching too much Mac Gyver in my teenage years? Ha ha.
Um, Tommi, I forgot to say one thing last night, about me & my comp, you are the only one I trust to fix my comp, no one else. ...I still dare you, prove me that you are not at your best in my dreams (grins) and give me the keys to your car and I will find the way, first try. Again, you are the sunshine of my life!
.....Nnnnnnngh! Must. Say. Have a nice day at the office and don't get liquified!
Renny-Alexander off to shower

29/07/03
Home again. I've been here and there for the past week or so. Many things have happened, some good, some bad and some I am not too sure about, yet. I only hope that they will turn out to be good. To be totally honest with you, I am sick and tired of bad luck coming my way. Sometimes I think that God must hate me. *grins* So, in times like that, I hate him back. It does not make things right, but it sure helps.
So, I visited a friend, who has one horse and two ponies. Me, allergic as I am, volunteered to take the horse for a walk. Now, it has been years since I did any horse back riding and I was curious to find out if I still could do it. And I can, but I spent the next two days in misery because of some muscles that I never knew were there. Just great. One good thing, no tears falling, no runny nose, only a few small, mosquito like bite marks on my arms. And here I was thinking I couldn't go closer than three feet from a horse before I started to sneeze & cry. Mistakes happen.
Well, I have said this before, it is summer and it is hot, sweat pouring down my spine and so on. Last night my friend and I were watching telly and we were both hot & liquified (?) & hot again when suddenly the whole dark sky litterally exploded, at first the night sky was as light as in daylight and then came the crash, thunder storm. My friend and I did not even have time to get scared. So, we spent some time watching the lightnings as they danced across the sky. Lightnings are one thing I respect, not only bacause of their beauty, but because of their power.
So, today, at home, I thought that I do some clean up on my comp and write something, mostly my own files, short stories & stuff, on a cd. Fifteen minutes later I was ready to throw my comp right out of the window. Or the cd-writer, to be exact. Also, my very own helpdesk did not answer, so I have no idea, none what so ever, what the f*** is wrong with the damn thing! So, I came to the conclusion that the writer simply died and it is not even a year old!
...God...hate...me...back...*curses*
I'm going to bed, tomorrow must be a better day. It better be a good day...

New lay out! So, Liam's back. The minute I saw this pic, I fell in love with it. So, here I am, sitting at my comp in the dead of the night and 'coding'. Besides it is HOT in here. You would imagine that at two in the morning it would be cool but no! I shouldn't be complaining, it will be cold enough in winter.
*sigh* I have to tell you, I loved the Matrix Lay out, a lot, but I had to give it up. Good-bye Trinity, Neo and the rest, for now. *waves*

Peace on earth! Sister dear visited me and stayed for a week. Not that I mind, I get to see her seldom enough.
So, it is eight in the morning, week ago, Saturday. I woke up, in Kuopio, at four in the morning (slept 4 hours that night) and on the way from Kuopio to Tampere we got some 'nice' elk steaks. Seriously, the poor creature got hit by the train and it was goodbye Mr. Elk. No cute drivers this time. *sighs* Later that day my sister and I decided to watch a film, the Dune but due to lack of sleep, my sister and I thought to nap for an hour. Wrong! We slept till morning, fourteen hours straight. So, Tommi, that's how good that film was! *giggles*
On Sunday we helped out my friends who were moving. There were two laddies too, so we did not have to drag the heavy things up to the sixth floor. Some things just don't fit in the elevator, no matter how much space is in it. Moving can be fun, but the trick is not to do it too often, once in every two years is ok, you get rid of all the I-will-save-this-in-case-I-need-this-later -junk. At least I do.
Monday was the day when we got our heads mixed up in a blender. In other words, if you want to get your head mixed up really good, there is only one place in Tampere to go: Särkänniemi amusement park. They got all these gadgets that spin & swing and half of dozin different sort of roller coasters. It wouldn't be so bad if it was only your head that was mixed up, but when you get that not-so-pleasent feeling that someone has removed your inner organs, examined them and has put them back in you in the wrong order, like your liver is where your brains should be. And then they say that gravity is good to have. I disagree.
Tuesday & Wednesday we spent in Turku with daddy-dear. We went driving on the islands near Turku, took two ferries, ate in nice & cozy restaurant by the water just enjoying the day. On our way back to Tampere we thought that next summer we will take our bikes and go cycling on those islands, just the two of us. We'll take a tent & sleeping bags and go riding, stop whenever we feel like it.
On Thuersday night we visited O'Connell's... Need I say more? Pints & pints of Guinness. *grins* I have a weakness and it is not cute laddies.
On friday night we went to the movies, 2 Fast, 2 Furious & The Phone Booth. I liked both. The Phone Booth had all the elements of beeing a very boring film. Like you got this dude who answers the phone and stays in the booth for the next 80 minutes, talking to this other guy. Hu? How much drama can you get out of that? Enough, besides, Colin Farrell evidently can speak other languages than 'Irish'. *grins* He looked kinda sexy, beard and all. Grrrrrr. 2 Fast, 2 Furious was an entertaining piece, sort of hang-your-brains-on-the-wall -kinda thing, fast cars and cute drivers. I only wonder what will happen when kids with new driving licenses will do when they see this film...Gotta stay off the streets. *grins*
So, sister dear went home and I got time just for me. I took my pastel crayons out and thought that I continue working on this 'project' I got. Now, I am not much of an artist, my talent is more in the verbal art and I am fairly sure that this 'project' of mine will end up being, not a portrait, but a terrible caricature. Just the feeling...

What a fortnight! That's all I can say. For fourteen days my life has been nothing but going from one place to another, sleeping in four different cities, working 16-hour days at a maximun of six hours of sleep a night and helping out a frined with her final exams i.e. being a make-up model. Twice I visited home, in and out & on the road again. I met a über cute & sexy Pendolino driver (instant cardiac arrest), one decent looking & nice laddie, a do-it-yourself -man, his drunk as a skunk friend who found me irresistible good looking (beat it nightmare!), women have been proposing to me (one day!), I have been gaped at, a Pendolino bit me (5 inch long, very painful cut across my back), comps have disliked me all the time, I have been introduced to poeple I would not recognice and I got an SMS from a very pissed off wife. Phew! I feel alive! *grins*
The only absolutely positive thing in this fuss is that my darling Tommi got good laughs, as did I too. There is very little that he doesn't know, as I've said before he is my best friend. I said to him that it would not be me if things like this did not happen. But I am so tired of this life I did not choose, this life chose me! And it is wrong! Sometimes I have been wondering why can't my life be easy, uneventful and conservative? Propably because I would bore to death within the first ten minutes. Now, don't get me wrong, I refuese to lie down and die but when you have been riding the action filled emotional rollercoaster for two weeks you need, crave, little peace. And someone to whom you can spill it all out. I did not say this very well, so I take the opportunity to say it now: Tommi, you are the sunshine of my life, without you, I would be lost. ...I think you knew that already.
Enough said, I'm off to bed now, it is 23.25.
Uh, new pictures here

After six cups of coffee, some lost hair & curses I got the 'comment' part up & running as it is supposed to. Thanks Rika!
I spent half night sitting at my com, 'playing with' Liam Neeson, i.e. I found a great pic of him and I just had to see what I can do with it and it turned out to look fine. Black&White pics are quite easy to work with, not to mention they look absolutely fabulous.

What a date...
Question of the day: Why do I keep getting this junk e-mail designed to men? I mean, nine times out of ten there is one (or more) viagra addy on my junk mail box. On the subject line it says something like this: Be a man, please her, buy viagra. Other variations are possible, but the bottom line is always the same. Also 'Get a penis enlargement' have I seen. Hu? Question: Why would I need to do that? First of all, why do I need a penis in the first place? If I need/want one, I know where to go and moreover, last time I looked, I was a woman, still am. It is no use to block them for if I block one, ten more will appear. It is an endless battle that I cannot win. So, I humbly ask: for the love of God, will you just stop it? I am a woman, regardless of my name! Or are you just too lazy (=ignorant) to find out the sex of the recipient? Pox on you! And I mean it!
Okay, enough of that crap.
I just spent a nice hour surfing the Net, looking for some good pictures of Liam Neeson, laughing my head off. I did find some very very nice pics that I can actually use. I guess it is so that Liam will re-appear on my pages later on in one form or another. The 'fiction' part is not counted in this, I worked too hard for that picture to replace it with light excuses and besides, Liam has given me at least one idea for a story. Besides, Liam Neeson is one of the very few actors that I genuinely respect. What I mean is that I like what he does and I admire his work but I have no need to know every little detail of him. Of course, it would be great to meet him one day, but if it is not meant to happen, then it is not.

Again new layout. Not very fancy but I got inspired. Ha-ha. I believe it would be appropriate to give a Matrix-Warning. Nope, no spoilers here, not my style. Go see the film. Sister dear knows what I mean, last time this happened was nearly four years ago, with Ep.1 and very few films can do this to me, need to give The Warning. I guess it has somtehing to do with the time, the longer you have to wait...How about 16 years? :)
By the way, the gaudy green is not my idea, I 'stole' it from the official site, blame them, not me. ;) He-hee.
Must go now, my place of work will not wait for me, i.e. a train. Renny-Alexander says: Trinity Rocks!

21/05/03
Back again in the real world. *sigh* I could always say that reality bites but that would not be right. Instead, I had a lesson in 'who controls who'. Are we, the humans, controlling the machines or is it vice versa? And if you think that I have seen Matrix Reloaded, you are absolutely right. I have, just a few hours ago and I LOVED every second of it. Half the time I was like 'Fly, Neo, fly! and the other half I spent marvelling the CGI, the cuts and in general, I tried to figure the film out. Okay, Reeves is good, no doubts there, but I actually liked Trinity (Moss) better. 'Though I wouldn't mind having Neo as my boyfriend.

Where can I orded one?

So, back to the machines. I went for shopping, just food actually, and there I am, some milk, youghourt and instant potato mash in my hands when they tell me that the cashregister system in down. Hu? No back up system? Appearently no. Eventually they must have got it up & running again, but I did not stay to wait, there are other shops, you know. Kinda nice, I had just seen Reloaded and this happens. A-ha. Yep yep. Okay, Neo, you are not supposed to be in that system, so would you please get out so we all can go home and have a beer? ;)

I'm still here, alive & kicking, tho this seem to be one of those days again. (quote) crapsticks! (unqoute) Thanks Rika. Or maybe I just worry too much and in advance. I hope so. :/
I gave my precious transportation (mtb) to the lads to be fixed, change new tyres, gearwheels(?) both back & front, the chain and generally tighten all loose bolts & things. I am not that helpless, but I simply got too lazy to do it myself. *grins* Besides, I don't have half the tools needed. ...For Pete's sake! I am a woman and if I don't want to do such things there are lads who will do it for me. Times like this it sure feels good to be a woman, if you don't want to do something, let the lads do it for you.
My long-lost inspiration is, apparently, creeping back to me. I spent last night sorting out Chris' life, i.e. writing down what happens and in which order. Nope, I most certainly will not write the whole sad story on paper, just bits and pieces, maybe a refrence to something that has happened before.
Need to go now, this kid needs food! I guess walking four miles is healthy, but it sure does give you a healthy appetite too! :)

Happy Labour Day to all Finns! Keep yar fingers crossed, the Finnish Lions need all the luck they can get.
I am seriously thinking of giving up this whole html-business. It seems that nothing works, even the simplest of codes won't work. ...just one of those days I guess.
I am having the infamous feminine problem: closet full of clothes and absolutely nothing to wear. On days like this I envy men. They don't need to ponder wether blue goes with red or should they wear pants or a skirt. [not that I would mind... ;)]
Aaaargh! I think I just wear a black plastic bag.

I was wrong, not much junksnailmail. No bills either. Good. This Monday was not a total disaster. I could always use vulgar language, but I am a kind person and besides, it would sound so ugly. Basically, thing is that I have to change some plans. Not good. I feel miserable. :(
Go Finland Go! Weee-heee!!!! Last night, the Finland-Slovenia game was not so much fun. Mark my words, I am not saying that it as a bad game, on the contrary, it was a good game, but it did get a bit boring after a while. 12-0. Tomorrow I need to dig up my old supply on nitros, so to speak. :|

My so-called summer holiday is over, back to work on Monday. Kinda nice, go home and be alone, in peace and quiet.... Yea, right. As if I am going to sit around and do nothing. Tons of things to do, friends to see...and a mountain of junk mail to sort out, carefully check if there actually is something with my name on it. I just bet there are a zillion bills to pay... Lovely.
About the card thing...Just one word: MEN! I DO have a phone and it is working mighty fine. Shouldn't be too difficult to send a SMS and ask...
Gotta go now, the dogs are waiting. I need to go for a walk (=run) with them, two miles and they'll be fine, sleep all evening and I get to watch the Finland-Austria hockey game.
God rot you, sister dear! You're there and I am here, home alone & miserable. I hope you have lousy time. Hmphf! Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame... I still got mine coming. HA!

Anyway, I just want to say that I feel sorry for you. Like welcome home & Happy Easter. Ha-ha. Nice. Kinda encourages you to take another week off, right? Poor you. :(
