Devils’ Parade

Hiya all! Long time no see. For once I’m not going to apologize for the blog silence since I’ve got a perfect excuse for my absence. *dum-de-dum* It’s actually school. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, for the past two weeks I have actually been studying! I got accepted to the school I wished to attend! Yay, go me! I’m studying sewing women’s clothes. 8) Suits me perfectly, don’t you think?

Okay, I have a crapload of photos to show you and nothing much in my brain to tell about them. :'D It’s obviously been too long since my last update, too many things have happened and I can’t keep my thoughts organized. Sorry if this gets messy again. x3

Since I mentioned visiting my godparents’ summer house in my last post, I could start with that. No, I didn’t take any photos. Yes, I did manage to get Stella somewhat hooked on Takarazuka. Heck yes, we had a great time! We should definitely see each other more often~

~♥~

Chronologically, the next thing would probably be D’espairsray’s new album MONSTERS.

Limited edition with DVD (that I haven’t actually watched yet o.O), straight from Japan. :3 Took me a while to really get in to the songs, but the more I listen to it the better it sounds. It’s a bit lighter than their usual style, but it’s catchy and I’m sure it’ll work well live. I really need to start learning the lyrics by heart…

~♥~

I have been enjoying the Zukaism with Zara. One Saturday we went to Helsinki to window-shop all things otokoyaku. And, well, I bought a pair of Kamijo-boots. :____D It just happened, I swear I didn’t mean to! …Ahem, whatever, here’s a crappy photo of my outfit of that day:

The otokoyaku scarf combined with a black shirt and a pen skirt? I really don’t know. :'3 You can’t actually see it all that well in the photo, but I managed to make myself the Tooto nails. Finally!

I bought myself a new nail polish, yet again. My previous Tooto polish had run dry, so I couldn’t help buying GOSH Black Passion. The colour is love, but I don’t really love the horrible tip pull it creates. Anyway, Black Passion was the base, OPI Catch Me in Your Net was added on the tips and the finishing touches were done by an eyeliner brush with Lumene Natural Code Classy. The result? Here:

I didn’t bother to take too detailed a photo, since I haven’t got any detailed photos of the real Tooto nails myself. (Explanations, explanations. x3) I ended up loving the result and am actually thinking of doing this design with some other colours too. (RED, anyone?)

~♥~

Ahem, then I’ve got a mass of photos of my face from a random lonely photo shoot. :'3 Feel the otokoyaku-vibe with a hint of feminine Hetaism added in. :'D

Man, I feel like a woman~♪ Or not. xD Dude-ism (what’s with the creative use of language again?) doesn’t make me look hot… I don’t even look like my dad here. x3

~♥~

Okay, now on to the good part! Me, Zara and Nepi went to Helsinki last Sunday to take some photos. It was so much fun and it shows. :D

Wanna get in trouble?

Rio de Bravo, anyone? :D

Interesting bugs down there?

The coolest photo of me and Nepi.

Can’t touch this~

Our Zuka dance reinvented caboeira. xD I can’t help lolling at these~

An unedited photo of my failing hair me. Ta-dah!

~♥~

Umm, I don’t really have all that much free time these days… It takes me about an hour and a half to get to school and the same to get back home, and the days aren’t all that short either. Last week I managed to not sit on the computer every night and thus I got to sleep about six hours per night. Yesterday, I failed. I stayed up ‘til half past two in the morning, watching Zuka videos. How irresponsible can one be of herself? >___>'' Now I just have to share this, even though most of you probably aren’t interested… My Zuka fandom has risen to a level where I hail about every otokoyaku I see. I just discovered the greatness of Maya Miki and that discovery is going to cause me so much pain. The woman has had a concert in Budokan. Where she sung Malice Mizer’s Gekka no Yasoukyoku. The live video is extremely hard to find. Somebody please shoot me now! A hot otokoyaku (they really knew how to fanservice in the 90s) singing one of my favourite songs! Gekka no Yasoukyoku is actually my example of how to somewhat ruin your favourite song by having it as the tune of your alarm clock. But it’s love. I would do about anything to see a clip of Miki singing it. WHERE CAN I FIND THAT VIDEO? (It has also Mizu in it. *-*)

I ain’t got no money, money~♫

…I love the autumn fashion collections, by the way. They’re always full of clean cuts and black and everything that I love. If I had the money, I would shop ‘til I drop in Seppälä, Lindex and Stockmann. I need shiny leggings, for example.

Due to lack of sleep last night, I can’t come up with anything clever to write. :'3 Sorry~

Until next time sweeties~ ♥

P.S. Keep listening to Desert Rose by Sting (whom I won’t be seeing live T-T) and watching different versions of the hotness Kosame. ;3

P.P.S. I should probably revive my writing blog, since I’ve got some 3000 words of YuMizu fanfiction on my computer… 8D

In a rollercoaster

I’ve been having some major mood swings these past three days. From hopeful to anxiety, loneliness and right down to depression. -___-'' I even started a new blog for my darker thoughts. (Tell me, if you’re interested, I’m keeping it pretty much private. I’ll publish some of my art and stories there, too. And it includes mature content. ^^)

I was only able to go to Animecon on Friday, because I didn’t want to go alone on Saturday and I kinda missed my chance on Sunday. But I had great time on Friday, we were there for about three hours. I managed to spend 95+ euros during that time. ^^'' Here’s what I got:

The Trinity Blood DVDs (I-III) I’ve been planning to buy for a while now. 20 Euros for three DVDs, not too bad, eh? (Sorry if I’m starting to sound British, btw, just finished watching the last Lewis episode. ^^ I think I’m going to start talking in Oxfordian accent soon. o__O) Except that I noticed I could actually get the whole series for 19,95 € in a single DVD box. Now there are two choices; I could try to sell these three DVDs and buy the box with the money I get, or I’ll have to spend another 20-30 Euros to buy the other DVDs. And the last DVD hasn’t even been published in Finland yet. –____-''

I bought Loveless 4 for a bargain price, only 5 euros! And I promised myself a million times I wouldn’t buy the Crimson Spell mangas but, unsurprisingly, I failed. When are they going to publish the 3rd book? I want chapter 20! ^__~

I tried to keep my eyes off the jewellery tables, though it has become much easier for me to resist those kinds of temptations. On the other hand, I found another weakness of mine and it was one I wasn’t prepared for. Yes, ladies and gentleman, the ultimate doom of my wallet; Belle Modeste’s table. Don’t tell mom that I bought a neck corset. ^^ I don’t know where and when I’m going to wear it, but I couldn’t help myself. Damn addictions. >.<'' I actually managed to buy quite a few things I don’t want to show my parents. ^^

And here’s a picture of my Animecon nails:

Yoga-ta Get This Blue with nail stickers. ^^

Right now, another mood swing has brought me close to euphoria. I’m in a mood when I find too many things to buy. And I’ve fallen in love. ♥ I’m having a music orgasm right now. I’m sure that’s about the only way to describe this feeling. Stalking blogs is really useful sometimes. I found this musical through Siru’s blog and fell in love right away. It’s called Elisabeth and I’m not quite sure whether I love it more in Japanese or in German. The Takarazuka version is maybe a bit more interesting, since all the roles are played by women and Der Tod (The Death) has long, silvery hair. *___* The German version is very appealing too, though. This music keeps sending thousands of chills down my spine and I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. This is the best feeling. ^^ And one the reasons I love music. I already went and put the soundtrack I found on our library’s website on hold for me. There was just one single CD, but it’ll have to do until I can order a copy of my own from the net. I’ll also simply have to buy the Japanese DVD as soon a it becomes available, no matter what the cost might be. I’m having one of my huge music moments right now. Here are the links to my favourite songs so far, highly recommended: Die Schatten Werden Länger/Yami ga Hirogaru, Der Letzte Tanz/ Saigo no Dansu

So hot *___* I’m completely awestruck, hope you can feel it too. ♥

Music, please!

Because I need to listen to something. Other than that, that title doesn’t have anything to do with this post. ^^

I feel like I’m mentally unstable at the moment. I thought writing would help so I’m updating my blog. I’m feeling down and get upset over every little thing that goes wrong. It must have something to do with the fact that I haven’t seen any of my friends in a week or so. I really need to learn to just grab that phone and call someone. My family has been bugging me about it, too, when I mentioned that there hasn’t been much going on in my life. Well, after next Tuesday I will call someone. Definitely. Unless someone calls me first. ^__~

Why only after next Tuesday, then? Because I already have plans for the weekend. From tomorrow on I’ll officially be a godmother. Whee, I’m so excited! But at the same time I’m so nervous. I’m not so sure if I’m ready to be an adult yet, having so much responsibility… It’s a scary thought in a way. People trust me and I’ll show them that I am trustworthy.

I'm heading off to my own godparents’ summer cottage on Sunday. I’m so happy about that, too! I used to spend a lot of time there a few years back but last year we only went there once. It’s been almost eleven months since I was there and I was getting worried about it. I thought something had happened and that we wouldn’t be welcome anymore. Luckily, I was wrong. I’ll be there at least till the next Tuesday, so you probably won’t hear much of me before that. They do have Internet over there, though, so you’ll never know…

My little sister is heading off to Jersey for a language course and I’m guessing it’s going to get a lot more quiet and peaceful over here. I can already hear the pressing silence. Someone please save me! (LoL) And I bet that all of my friends have plans for days when I’m at home and the other way round. –__-

Hmm. This post won’t be as long as the two previous ones. I’ll have to wake at 4:30 am to see my little sister off. If someone happens to be at the airport at 5 o’clock in the morning, do come to say hi to me! :P

Let’s finish this post with a nail polish photo! OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue as promised.

Not a very summery colour, this one. I guess this would be my perfect blue but somehow I’m not really feeling that. A bit too cold for summer, don’t you think? Rationally thinking this should be my favourite nail polish ever; I would have killed for this one a few years back but now… I guess I’ve moved back over to the red side. Maybe in the next winter, when the slight tan has disapeared from my hands, I’ll spend my time marvelling over this perfect blue against my pale skin. Or actually, maybe I’m just sad because I cut my nails a bit and can’t feel any love for them at the moment… Or then it’s only because of that monopolizing I’m Not Really A Waitress. I shouldn’t have tested this polish yet anyway. Blue nails probably won’t go too well with my pink dress. (Yes, still wearing it. I tried to make a new dress, a blue one at that, for Kat’s graduation but it turned out so hideous I can’t wear it. I guess that after tomorrow I’ll have about 10 months to make a dress for my own graduation… Or maybe I’ll just make something for my dad’s 50th birthday in September…)

I knew it, writing did help! I’ve all but forgotten my previous anxiety. My parents are very sceptical about the usefulness of having a blog but they are wrong. ^^ Even when there aren’t too many people reading this, it’s nice to write. And with a couple or readers insisting that I keep updating I can’t just dump the whole thing like I did with most of my diaries.

Good night now, I’ll be back in town on Tuesday at the earliest. (Unless I decide to update tomorrow…) Till then, dearies! ♥

P.S. Sorry, I just had to add this… I’ve somehow started to drool over a Vivienne Westwood necklace. (This one.) What’s wrong with me, wanting something so expensive? ;;__;; But it’s so pretty~! If someone wants to get me a birthday present… ;P

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. :[
