Is someone else having problems with the LJ-cut? Or is it just me who can't use computers? I have scanned an article from NME about Babyshambles and I would like to post it but I can't get the cut to work and I can't post it without because the scans are huge.

What a crappy weekend. I was stressing about all the things that are going to happen in the future and I couldn't really relax. The most worrisome thing is applying for schools because I have some trouble filling in all the forms and writing a statement. And I went to my tutor (or whatever it's called) and she didn't like my future plans. She basically said I will be poor (and die on the street) if I even get so far because the English schools probably won't accept me. She kept on suggesting that English people are really greedy as well. Gaaah. So I don't know if I will have the courage to do the things I would like to do in the future but I don't want to study here either.
BUT then I watched Nevermind the Buzzcocks and listened to music and instantly felt better. This had me laughing for several minutes:

I've watched that part like 50 times. And the part where Noel Fielding says: Look at Slash, he's got absolutely no face.
I took the vaccine against swine flu today and it wasn't that bad. My arm is hurting now though and I hope it doesn't get worse. I have my theory exam for the driver's license tomorrow and I have to drive in the dark using a simulator. IIIK.

As you all probably know, I was to two gigs this week; Muse and Patrick Wolf. Those two gigs were so different but I loved them both. Muse was more EPIC amazingness that blew your brain out, whereas the Patrick gig stole a piece of my heart.

( The Sun Is Often Out )

One of the best moments in my life can be summed up to this: Patrick is singing Tristan and while he sings the line: You speak of love but I've never heard of her he looks me straight in the eye and I sing the line with him and he smiles. I really felt that he actually noticed me and that warms my heart. More details tomorrow, I've got so much to tell.

The Muse gig was like having a two hour long orgasm. Yes, that's the best way to describe it. I'll write a proper review on Saturday when I've seen Patrick as well. Right now I just need some sleep.

I've been so giggly the last 3 days it's crazy. I don't know why, it's just that I'm really happy with all the subjects I've chosen this period; I have 2 Math courses, one Swedish, one astronomy course that is really interesting, one about the EU and one English Conversation that is really nice and it's good because it's a challenge for me because I have to talk to different persons and forget about my shyness. I'm also going to take a Biology exam about biotechnology and that's a bit of a challenge but I'll see how it goes. The other thing is I've started to listen to a lot of dance music and it makes me a bit hyperactive because there's a lot of energy in those kind of songs and it usually reminds me of all the good times I've had with especially my cousin (who is like the best person in the world <3). I'm still a bit lost because I don't know dance musicians so I've had trouble choosing what to download. I'm so frikking excited about the cruise. It's a quite traditional thing to do, I've been about 15 times and it takes about 2 days. You travel to Sweden with a big boat that has a pub, a disco, a lot of different restaurants and people :D Last time was the best time ever, I met this really nice gay couple and I clicked with the younger one of them, he was so nice. We've been in touch since that so I hope I meet some nice people this time as well. I'm getting really annoyed about some guys in school. It just seems that a lot of them are racist, homophobic and full of themselves. I know there is probably nice guys as well but they are the really shy ones. All in all, I'm quite happy with my life at the moment and I'm looking forward to everything that's going to happen.

I have got to stop listening to Sexy Bitch and giggling like crazy. It's not even that funny and I fucking hate Akon but still, I CAN'T HELP IT :DDDDD It reminds me of Saturday and the mad dancing. 

My arms are killing me, I think I danced a bit too much on Saturday. I had a really nice time, my friend had a party in her garage :D I danced a lot, got to talk with friends that I don't see so often, met some nice people and had a sort-of-argument with some stupid guys. Basically, they think you aren't cool if you don't drink drinks that have at least 80 % alcohol in them and that sort of stuff, are we 14 again? I had to carry some overly drunk people to the bath room so that may explain my arm pain. I also danced some weird rock n roll dance with my dads friend who is like 60 and he spun me around a lot. I clicked with an old friend of mine that I don't see so often and it was really nice that we still get on so well. Now I'm just really excited about going to a cruise and dance my ass off and then of course going to the gigs.

I just had my History exam. It went well, not amazing but I'm feeling kind of good about it. The problem with the exam was that it contained so much geography that I didn't have the knowledge to answer some of the questions. Good thing you only have to answer six of them. I chose one question about the effect humans had on the environment in Ancient Greek and Egypt, one about the Renaissance, one about why certain cities had so many inhabitants under certain periods, one about why year 1809 can be seen as the year that the nation Finland was born and one where you had to compare two different declarations of the human rights. The last question I had real trouble choosing but finally I chose the one I had swore I would never answer: one about Finnish politics under the period 1950-1980. The time went surprisingly quickly and I had fun writing it. I know I won't get the highest result but I'm hoping for at least an M but I would really want an E. I'll just have to see what my history teacher thinks. :)

I'm feeling happy today. I had a Math test in the morning and it went surprisingly well. It was a good test of my knowledge as well and I really needed that, since the important exam is soon. I'm going to write history on Monday and I don't feel nervous at all, which is strange !
My Finnish listening comprehension went quite well so I'm almost excited about the rest of the exams :)
Soon I'm going to order some records and that always makes me happy :) Today is one of those days when all songs just sound great, I love when it's like that ! I'm excited about the gigs I'm going to later this year too :)
I really would like to go out dancing tonight but unfortunately I don't have the age. :( Me and my friend are planning to go on a cruise soon though, so I'm looking forward to that :D 

PATRICK WOLF IS COMING TO FINLAND AND I'M SO HAPPY! :D I'M FINALLY GOING TO SEE HIM. AND IT'S THE DAY AFTER I SEE MUSE. THAT WILL BE THE BEST WEEK EVER ! I'll stop using the capslock button now :D

How lovely can a band be? ♥

I had a small presentation today and this is actually one of the first times I did not stress weeks ahead of a presentation, so I'm quite proud of myself. I had to go to church today with school and what really annoys me is how the priest always puts me down and says things like: We are so sinful and we can't be perfect but God will help us with that. I don't like the fact that they always have to complain about how horrible people are and people should strive to be perfect, which I think is ridiculous. Why would you want to be perfect all the time anyway? I've tried really hard to be religious but the more I try, I realize I really don't believe in a lot of the things the church learns out. Part of the problem is I always question things and I want evidence and obviously they can't prove anything.

+ ja läst HBL idag å di fanns en intervju med Mark Levengood och speciellt den här delen fick mig å skratta:
Om jag hade ett tråkigt jobb på en bank, var gift med nån Britt-Marie och var tvungen att åka på hemliga resor till Berlin för att få lite erotik, då skulle jag också vara både trotsigare och ilsknare.

I am ridiculously happy (and a bit childish) because my sister managed to download all the old computer games I had when I was little :D
They are from 1994 and yes, I am so HAPPY to play them :D I used to play Aladdin, Lion King, The Jungle Book & Tarzan and now I have them back ! It's so fun to play because I remember them so well. Although I'm no good anymore, I only get to the second level and then I die *headpalm* When I have the time I'm going to have a Disney computer game marathon ;) 

I can't speak French *cries* I have forgotten almost everything during the summer and to make things worse, I'm in a group that has studied French two years more than me. So I am totally clueless during the French lessons in school.

I made my calendar a lot prettier yesterday and it now has a lot of pictures of Pete, Carlos, Patrick, Richey & GaGa. I am becoming more and more obsessed by GaGa! ;) And yes, I'm still obsessing over Poker Face although it was released ages ago.

But seriously, this version is genius, crazy screaming GaGa FTW !

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post your favourite line from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

...and this isn't even the last time i'm going to update today, sorry ! :D

All invisibl3h fault !
- Leave me a comment with "SRS BZNS - WHERE'S MY MARGARITA?" in the subject line.
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1. Are you still thinking about getting your tongue pierced? (Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a bad idea ;P)
Occasionally (I still think it's a good idea !) But I don't know, I'm too shy to go to a piercing studio, I'm scared ! But you know, if I ever get a boyfriend or a friend that works in a piercing studio, I'd so do it! Oh, and I'd also like to pierce the back of my neck ;)

2. What do you think about the 3rd season of Skins? Do you like the new characters?
I think it's a little over the top. I prefer the first and second season because I like the characters so much more and it's not all drugs & sex.
About the new characters: Cook is a idiot, JJ is cute, Freddie is all right, I love Pandora, Thomas is all right, I like Emily and Naomi and Katie is a twat. I still miss the old characters though :(

3. Why have I never seen your cat? :(
Because you never come here ! I'll have to invite you too see her then ;)

4. Describe your ideal date.. I'm curious. :D
Oh god. I don't know. I've never been on a date so I don't really know what would work. But I'd love to go to a record store so that I could talk about music and also to see if he can outlast me in there ! Remember that time I was in a record store and you all got mad because I was in there too long? (A) I'd quite like to go to a gig or just to walk around in the city, nothing too serious :)

5. Since you're a history GEEK, what time would you most like to go to and why?
Oh oh, Ancient Rome! Because I've been reading about it and it really fascinates me. But then I would have to be a man and quite rich because the women didn't have certain rights.. But still, then I could go to gladiator games and eat a lot of food and have dinner parties !
Or then I would love to live in Ancient Egypt because I've been obsessed with that time since a kid :)

My iPod is almost full, damn. I don't want to start erasing songs :(

Warning for a slightly rambly gig review. I just came home and I'm still on a post-gig high ;)
I went to see Lady GaGa and was so excited because The Fame is one of my favourite albums of the year.
So, after waiting for what felt like ages we were finally let in to Kulturhuset where the gig was. After more waiting the warm up band Hyper Crush came on and I didn't really know what to expect because I'd never heard of them. It was good then that they were brilliant. The beats were amazing and they had a lot of energy on stage. Very danceable tracks that I really liked. And then it felt like forever before GaGa came on. But finally The Heart short movie started playing and there was a lot of noise. It was kind of weird because I'd never been to a "pop" gig but the crowd was honestly the best one yet. Nice people who didn't look for trouble or were overly drunk, they just wanted to party :) And so did I !
And then finally, the countdown started and GaGa came on. At first I didn't see her but when I did, wow. She had on the mirrordiscoballdress and looked very cute. And weird in a way, with the eyebrows and all that. For me that made her even more attractive, I like girls who look a little different. Yes, I have a girl crush on her ;) The set started with Paparazzi and then she sang LoveGame, which ended with the Marilyn Manson remix of the song. For me that was one of the best moments of the gig because I love that remix !  She then sang the beginning of Willkommen from Cabaret. Then she said she's so excited to be in Helsinki and today it doesn't matter where you come from, who you are or how much money you have because tonight we are all Beautiful, Dirty & Rich, so that was obviously the next song. Then the band played a short instrumental thing and The Brain short movie was shown. After that GaGa came back wearing something I can't describe. A dress that looked that it could belong to an elf in LOTR but with a lot more glitter, kind of ;) She said she and  the band have travelled all over the world and couldn't wait to come to Finland because the bloody sun never goes down here so you can drink, drink, drink and party all night long. Then she started singing "I love Finland, bloody bloody Finland."  :)  I think she sang The Fame after that and maybe Money Honey? I'm not quite sure about the order. She changed clothes after that and The Face movie was shown. Now she had a yellow dress on. She then sang Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) and Boys Boys Boys and also Just Dance. She then said we all look like mini Andy Warhols and that Finland is such a magical country and she expects that fairies will pop out any minute. "Or maybe you are my fairies?"
She then changed to a bra and underwear made out of condoms (Y) ;) She said that when she lived in New York she lived in a small apartment with nothing but her dreams, her talent and a keyboard. Every morning, when she woke up,  she used to look in the mirror and say "You are going to be a fucking star". Now she looks in the mirror and says "You better make each and every one of your fans feel like a fucking star every night". She said The Fame Ball Tour isn't about her or the music, it's about us. "I'm totally fucked, I'm in love and I live only for you now, that's it." Isn't she just lovely? :) Then she made us put up our hand and take the persons hand that's beside you and repeat after her. I've forgotten how it went but it was something about people we lost, future loves and brown brown eyes. She then sang Brown Eyes. She then asked if we think she's sexy (Answer: YES!) because she thinks we are sexy ;) She then played a fucking fantastic acoustic piano version of Poker Face. I seriously thought the place was going to explode right then because I have never heard that much hand clapping and singing and cheering, not even in bigger venues. She then said she had a bit of a funny story.
"You see, my clothes are made out of condoms and in order to get it on... (she starts laughing)...my girl Jackie she squirts lube on me so she can get this on quickly. Sometimes it comes out and it's difficult to play. That's okay, right? Because that's showbiz and I believe in showbiz and fuck everybody who doesn't. It's funny because whenever it happens I have this sentimental memory. When I used to play in gay clubs in New York, which I still do, but way back then I was playing at this party called Sebastian. I remember the night I played there was a dance group opening and they used to dance naked and there would be lube and glitter all over the stage. The reason this is sentimental for me is that before I would go on I would say: You better make sure that lube is cleaned up before I come on because I'm going to trip and fall ! And when I started touring at gay clubs when I was signed to Interscope I used to tell the label: Could you please make sure there's no lube on the stage and they used to be like..... what the fuck are you talking about?!  And I'd be like: Trust me, I've been around!"
She then finished the set with the real version of Poker Face.
I was really impressed by her. I think she's an incredible artist and a great performer who really cares about her fans. It was an incredible evening and I hope I'll see her again, soon hopefully.

I had my first driving lesson today and it wasn't pretty. I thought driving cars was simple because before I'd only driven cars in computer games.  The car stopped a million times and I was so confused about the pedals. I need a lot of practice before I can drive even near the city. But the teacher was really nice and only laughed at me a little, which was completely understandable. I'm happy that the bicyclist got away though and I didn't kill her because I was seriously scared when I saw her.
I'm going to see Lady GaGa tomorrow and I'm superxcited. I think it will be quite different from any other gig I've been to. Oh, and I stalked a lot of the people that are coming to the gig and I had no idea so many hot guys are GaGa fans ;)
