Summerrrr is here!

It has been such a lovely day~! It was really warm outside, the best weather ever to start the summer. WARNING: I fail in English in this post. –___-''

Today I went to school for one hour and now I have eleven weeks of freedom ahead! I enjoyed the beautiful weather by going to two graduation parties with my family. I got some colour on my face and hands but most people wouldn’t be able to see any difference. My skin is so pale that it usually gets burned if I stay in sun for more than ten minutes at a time. Am I a vampire or what? x) Here’s a photo of the dress I was wearing. I bought it in 2005 and it still fits semi-well. But I promised myself this would be the last time wearing it.

The pic is small but there’s not too much to see anyway.

Sorry for the lack of updates, btw. ^^' I’ve been really worn out because of all the school stuff at the end of the semester. Tests and portfolios and everything… And two weeks ago I noticed my weight had dropped by about two kg. I obviously got very worried since my body mass index has always been too low and now it was only 15,6. ;;___;; I kinda got over that the next day though because I know my weight varies quite much depending on the time of the day and the things I eat. Just as I thought I had nothing to worry about I got sick. Last Saturday I woke up at 6:30 to throw up. I won’t go into details here and I’ll just say that I threw up far too many times to count until 9 p.m. May 23rd 2009 went straight up to my list of worst days of my life this far. (Now I’ll skip all the angst I still had left and move on to brighter things.) The next day we went to Lahti to celebrate my Granny’s birthday. I was dead tired but not nauseated. It was a very nice party and to my very pleasant surprise my cousin asked me to be her son’s godmother! I’m so exited about that~!

I was going to write about Jean Michel Jarre’s concert two weeks ago but it kinda slipped from my mind when all the previously mentioned things happened. The concert was great, obviously, full of lazers and cool effects. I could feel my whole body resonate to the beat of the bass and we only sat on row 32! JMJ really knows how to throw a great show! You can read his own thoughts about the tour here and about the gig in Helsinki here. Of course I had to buy the tour t-shirt. Here’s a pic:

It’s so cool! And it fits better than any other band shirt I’ve bought. Well, the shape of my Queen musical shirt would probably beat this one if it was slightly longer. And this one is maybe a tiny bit too tight. But who cares, I love this!

I went to Lahti again last Thursday, this time to see Carmina Burana. It’s a great piece, if you ask me, though I got a feeling that I’ve been listening to it a bit too much. It was great anyway. ^^

And now some nail polish swatches! I’ve got two pics for you. The first is what I’m currently wearing, the promised O.P.I. I’m Not Really A Waitress. (INRAW=In raw :P I admit it – I’m tired.)

L.O.V.E. this colour, even though I had problems photographing it.

And here’s L’Oréal Star Magnet Magnetic Silver:

I’m far from pro with this one! It was a nice experience, but I’ve already used half a bottle of this and I still can’t nail it (lol), I had to do a few nails multiple times to get a decent result. And there are some air bubbles too. ;;__;;

I guess that would be all for now. I’m hungry and tired. ;;__;; I hope I’ll have something to write about so that I can update again asap. ^^

From vampires to k-pop and back again

Haha, definitely didn’t see that one coming! It’s true though, I’ve got myself addicted to k-pop… Another fail as an aristocrat vampire? Absolutely. I’ll be laughing at myself somewhere in the near future. What the heck, I’m laughing at myself right now. ^_______^

The songs are SS501 – U R Man and Rain – Rainism. Those Koreans have got some seriously addicting beats there. I’m warning you – if you fall, there’s no coming back. x) I’ve spent two evenings practicing the dance steps of U R Man and ATM I can handle about 30 secs from the beginning or so. *-* It’s going to take a lot of work to learn the whole dance.

Other than those Korean songs, I’ve been listening to Sugizo and Kamelot. Whee, tells something about my musical appetite, doesn’t it? K-pop, j-rock, progressive metal, I’ve got them all. ^^ Sugizo’s No More Machineguns Play the Guitar is also one of those songs that get stuck to your head. I don’t mind it at all 'cause it’s a good song. And since i brought Kamelot up, their song Ghost Opera is pure love. <3 (Love. Heart. Do I make myself clear?) ;P

I bought my first O.P.I nail polish last Saturday and of course I had to go for I’m Not Really A Waitress. Yes, I’m still searching for a replacement for my all time favorite. Here’s a pic of my first love. I’ve been using it since I don’t know when, but now they have stopped selling it. ;;__;; My bottle is old and you can see it well in the uneven application of the polish.

It’s a shame really, sice that polish used to be so gorgeous. *___* It’s a very dark red, almost too dark for two coats. I have a feeling that even if I’m Not Really A Waitress isn’t as dark as my good old Lumene Good time, it’ll find its way to my heart as soon as I get to have it on my nails. ^^ (The pictures are coming, I promise. ^^ It's just that I broke a nail on Monday and I’ll have to figure out what to do with the length of my nails.)

Since I’m running out of things to say I’ll add a couple of fandom phrases here. ^^ Have I ever mentioned Kamijo in my blog? I guess not, so it’s about time I did something about that. :P He is awesome. And hilarious. And so GORGEOUS. Gah, really, I’m out of words here. :D I’m writing a story about him and Gackt planning to have a picnic. Sounds so cool, right? Lol, not really, but it’s kinda shonen-ai yaoi-ish (that –ish there because my dignity can’t handle it if I told you what kind of story it’s really going to be…) so I think at least some people will find it nice. :P 954 words written and that would be about the first chapter… Oh my Gackt, it’s going to be thousands of words long. ;;___;; I’ve just got started.

I wish there was a Finnish word for ‘please’.

P.S. Since this post seemed to be slightly boring, I’ll add a photo from last Saturday.

Or whatever, let’s make it two.

For the sake of vampirism. :[

The Reawakening of My Inner Vampire

Hooray for creative titles! It’s kinda hard to write something impressive after such a dumbfounding start. Well, I’m going to try anyway. ^^

So I’ve managed to really get stuck with my vampire-fandom after a short break (read: love for the hime-gyaru fashion). As it turns out I had no need to worry about losing my great love for vampires. Reading Jennifer Rardin’s One More Bite was all it took for me to fall headlong into the deep abyss of this dangerous and yet oh-so-sweet obsession of mine. Jaz Parks really kicks you-know-what. ^^ These books are a must for every vampire lover out there. This brings stop to my let’s-try-wearing-pink-and-white-clothes period. The vampires are back. Loud and clear. What, got it already? Okay, okay, I’m moving on. ^^

I’m not going to write all that much about our May Day party 'cause there isn’t really too much to write about. On Thursday we had good time at school laughing at the teachers who really had outdone themselves with the costumes and their surprise show at the end of the day. My parents hosted a party for about ten friends of theirs and I spent the evening reading One More Bite. ^^ Yesterday we ate lunch at Dipoli (I ended up eating way too much dessert) and I spent the evening reading the book I’ve already mentioned twice and some manga. And that’s pretty much it for my May Day celebration. Sounds boring but if you read the book you would understand my happiness.

Now moving on with NOTD (nails of the day for you who aren’t totally hooked to all sorts of nail blogs). I managed to snap a few photos today when it was nice and sunny. Here’s one for you:

I bought two sheets of nail stickers last Tuesday when I was shopping in Tapiola. I realize just now that I probably should have taken a couple more photos to show you everything I bought but now you’ll just have to wait a while longer. I bought two shirts (both black and white striped), the nail stickers and a pinkish pearl necklace. Whee. But now let’s get back to the subject, which was my nails if I remember correctly. I used two coats of Lumene’s nail polish #8 Angel Touch. I’ve had it quite a long time now and the polish is getting a bit too thick. It’s a shame since I really like the colour. The top coat I used is by Mavala. I kinda like these nails. At first I thought they were too short but after the polish and stickers were in place I realized their length is actually quite good. If the polish had applied more evenly these nails would have been almost perfect for me. ^^

I’ve been listening to Sugizo on YouTube and I’m really starting to like his music. ^^ It’s… Hypnotizing, almost, and I really like that. I would like to repeat the word like once again to emphasize the point. Thanks Zara for bringing him to my attention. ^^ And really, what can you expect if the concert’s name is ~RISE TO COSMIC DANCE~? I wish I’d have come up with a name like that, like, when I was creating my blog or something. Seriously, how cool is that? Only 45,15 Euros and the live DVD could be mine… Which actually brings us closer to my next subject.

After about two years of waiting, Interria finally releases their first album. Yayy! They are a French band playing metal/rock music with a mix of electro sounds. Their lyrics are in French, which is great for me since I’m desperately trying to study the language. This time I’ll definitely have to get my dad to order the CD for me ASAP. ^^

Gah, tomorrow’s going to be so full of school work it depresses me to even think about it. We’ll see whether I’ll actually manage to do everything I’m supposed to do… With my current mentality I think I’ll end up playing Orochi or SingStar… Or watch Gackt’s DVDs. The acoustic version of 君が待っているから would definitely make my day. Not to mention 届カナイ愛ト知ッテイタノニ抑エキレズニ愛シ続ケタ… with my ‘rediscovered’ skills at loving vampire-related things…
