Im free from school for 2 weeks now!

Yay!

2 Weeks of freedom!!!

Yaaaaay!

2 days has already passed and i've done nothing at all!!!

Yaaaay!...?

Omg im so bored!!

yay?

The wheather outside aint exacly right for me to do anythign there. (Not like i do much stuff outside anymore anyway)
Most of my friends are on some sort of skiing trips or vacation.
Most of my Online friends are gone too... probably on same above mentioned thingie.

I got no really interesting games to play.
No adsl... (Well... until i get to dad)

And every ounce of drawing will-power/inspiration/mood has mysteriously been drained away from me. Bleh.. :/

And there aint going to be a Lan this month like they had planned too! >.<

But!
Im not sulking!
No! Instead im trying to find new things to do... like... working out!
Yeah...
I did some pushups today and stuff... not just briefly for 5 min... naw... i did it for 10 min!
Eheh....

And im writing this...
Yay... im not desperate.

Sillyness aside.

2 things came to my mind now to talk about.

One is the baby. My baby sister.
She is growing fast being 8 months old now. She cant crawl, because she dosent seem to understand it, so i think she'll never get the hang of it. But... she has skipped the crawling stage and has now furisly been trying to walk instead. She walks pretty well now but not without someone holding her hands.
She is so eager to get up on her legs so she's always reaching for your hands, and as soon as she gets ahold of some she heaves herself up mostly by herself and starts walking off.
But she relies abit too much on someone holding her hands. She'd not get anywhere without support so it's be a while until she can do it on her own.

The other thing i got to think about is that although i talk about drawing alot on this Lj, i've never shown anythign i've done.
Well... mostly that was from assuming that if someone was curius they would message me, since the ones reading my Lj are on my msn or aim.

But there are more then those now, like my auntie Nadia who complained on me that i stoped updating this thing.... 5 months ago... Heee ^^;

Anyway... lesse... links...
Ah yes... Here we go.

I did this one not too long ago, aim im quite happy with it ^_^
It's my dragon character Evoc who is chasing, or rather maybe sneaking up on a lil lizard thing with no arms. Some ask why it dosent have any arms, and i say: "Cuz it dosent need any."

Do i have anything more? hmmm...

2004-01-12T21:38:03Z

Aight, thought it was time again for a update.

Maybe write abit of what i got for christmas maybe, what i did on newyears eve perhaps and crap like that.
But since honsetly no one, not even me want to hear about that i'll just write about the SECOND lan i was at!! ^_^

Oh yes... im pretty much addicted now.

And for those who still dont know what a lan is and waht the hell im talking about. Lan stands for Local area Network...
And since a pic says more then a thousand words. Here is a pic of a lan.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan15/big.asp?pic=15183
Im not on that pic... but i thought taht guys computer was pretty cool... shiny @.@

Now where to begin... ah well.. since i had some experience now from the previouse lan i felt abit more confident about the whole thign, so i knew what to buy in advance and what to bring and stuff.

Anyway.. yah... this time everythign worked without complications.. no Viruses and blaster worms. And it was all good. ^_^
There were a couple of tournaments in variouse games. And a new feature on this lan was that they had a PS 2 (And Gamecube) and a big projector which was set on a wall, so you could play Soul Calibur 2, Mario kart and the infamouse DDR (Though i think it was called somethign ells).
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan15/big.asp?pic=15332

(This is me and my buddy. Im the one in blue shirt.
That buddy f mine snored like an elephant at night so i got almost no sleep at all during this lan. I think i slept 2 hours each night.)

http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan15/big.asp?pic=15028
(The camera guy always took a pic of me when i was yawning or just basically looking ugly, all the time.)

http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan15/big.asp?pic=15038
(I was tired... alot... Dont be fooled, im not trying to look cool, just... tired.)

Well as i introduced one of my neighboors and friend, the snooring one, i might as introduce the other two friends i had, which i were in the same team with, during the Halo tournament.

Luckilly, only I and my snoring friend was present (Too the right) from my team on the awards cermonies so... more chocolate for us! ^_^;;

Of course there were other weird competitions other then the game competitions... just to pass the time...

http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan15/big.asp?pic=15401
(Gahaha! Look at that guy with the hair!)

Ah well.. this is getting long nad boring...

aww... just one more picture ^^;
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan15/big.asp?pic=15278
Here we are on our way outside to walk our cokes (Around 04:00 in the morning).
What do i mean with walk our cokes? Well... They got quite warm sitting in their lil box next to the computer screen and didnt taste as good as they should. So we took a few and went outside with em to cool em down. It was sorta cold outide... -13C anyone? ^^;
So yeah.. it did the trick.

Bleh... now im too tired to write anything...
Not that i put much energy inot this anyway...
I'll tell ya waht i got and did on newyears eve next tiem.. which will be on the summer sometime...
Just enough to be severly outdated news ^_^

I'll devour your soul!!!

2003-12-04T18:45:37Z

Everytime i try to update, i only manage to scribble down a few lines when i suddenly lose interest and feel like doing something else instead.

This time i'll try write something.. although i dont even remember 1/5 of the things i was supposed to write about.

Hopefully they'll show up whilst i write.

Lesse... The wheather latelly has been very grey and dull for the last couple of weeks.
Usually i love grey and dull wheathers, since they use to bring me peace in a way.
But it has gone like little over a month now with only rain, and a constant choking low preassure in the air.
It wears you down, no matter how much you like it. And i've grown more and more... how to say it... well... Negative.
Im kinda sensetive to low preassures and high preassures and i can feel when they shift, by getting differnet kind of headaches.
With this constant low preassure i started first by getting very very very VERY tired.
I mean, i sleep through two of my first classes each morning. And i really mean sleep! The dried up puddle of drool you can find in my school books are proof enough.

Now im starting to feel my fuse getting shorter. I feel sudden bursts of anger within eachtime someone commands me to do something.

Simple things like: "Joni go to the store and buy some things"

Medium things like: "This weeks assignemnt is that you're supposed to write a 4 page summary in swedish about the last 2 weeks discussion we had on the forum with the American school in New york" (Tollmas and his f*cking assignments)

Big major things like: "You are hereby called in for "(Heck if i know what it is in english. It's mönstring in swedish, i think it could be translated to conscribtion sorta) on the 9th of December. You are to show up at blah blah blah at 7.15 in the morning and blah blah blah."

This last thing is really ticking me off.
It's not like im going to hafto join the army. No, I just go to this place and preform different tests so see what military branch im suited for. After the tests i have a talk with a psychologist and he asks me tricky questions and i will get the question of if i want to join or not. Nowdays you dont hafto join if you say you dont want to. Since they areonly able to take in 23.000 people each year and there are 55.000. More or less...

But it's going to this tests thingy that i dont like one bit. I must get up at 4.45 in the morning so that i can get there in time. I REALLY DONT LOOK FORWARD TOO THAT!
You gotta be there for 2 days too.
And the fact thats illegal not to show up and your name gets putt in the criminal records if you dont.
Im really considering skipping it anyway. I've had some discussions with my classmates who have already been there, and come to conclusion that it's a complete waste of my time.
Why they put the theoretical and physical tests before they ask if you want to join is beyond me.

We also had some debattes on what would happen if you realyl skipped. None of us know anyone who has. Some say that they you at your house windering where you were, and when you will show up. Others say you hafto pay a fine. There are even theories that the police comes and picks you up and drags you there. :P
Sounds kinda fun... i wanna see what happens. I dont really care about the consequences...
If i now hafto go there somehow anyway... they are sooooo going to see my worst side!
Shame about the criminal records thing...

Enough of it now... i did as usuall have more things in my mind to write about. But i dont have the time.

Well well... long time no see...

2003-11-10T17:01:06Z

By now most people understnad that im not a frequent updater. But i'll try make this a big update, i got much to talk about.

SCHOOL
.................................................................
Lesse... School has been like usuall.. Tests and exams every week and impossible amounts of information to learn and absorb each day. The usuall...
One new thing about school is that there is a teacher that really hates me. :D
Why am i happy about it? Cuz i hate him too...
You see... He has a reputation about him to always make different kinds of experiments on his students. And NO.. not that kind of experiments!
Im talking in ways of teaching.
My class have in social studies. We have our classes through the internet.
He went to new york you see, and is working in a highschool there.
Every monday each week he puts out new assignments on a website which we are to go to and solve and mail to him before thursday.
Dosent sound like a biggie now dosent it? Sounds pretty good even, doesent it?
Well let me tall you that there is nothing good about it!
You always forget about em until sometime late tuesday. And you got so much ells to do (Math, Swedish assignemnts, English glossarys and papers to go through and so on) so they feel more like they are in the way.
Once you get the time to have a look on them you realize that there are like links too 23 pages long article thingys about massmedias influence on the soceity.
Then you read questions or more like the assignment about what i am to do after reading all this and you realize again that the questions themselves are riddle assignments, so you somehow must figure out what the hell the teacher wants me to write.
------------------
4. Varför tror ni detta är en uppgift som ni gör som inledning till avsnittet om massmedias kan presentera objektiva, ovinklade nyheter och källkritik?
------------------
Translated:
4. Why do you think this is an assignment that you do as an introduction to the episode about massmedias could present objective, unangled (<- er.. could be translated in a other way) news and sourcecritics.
------------------
Questions like that drive you nuts.
And he's never happy. No matter how you answer and try to adjust to the way he wants me to answer his assignemtns he's NEVER happy about em!

So why do we hate eachother so much?
Well you can understand why i dont like him.
And the reason he dosent like me is because i, in some of the first assignments i've sent in, have been quite rude. Then i changed that and started mimicing him. Critizising (Whoa many i's) his way of writing the questions like he would to my answers and just simply complaining on him like he complains on us.
Now im not the only one who dislikes him. From listening to the talks in my class nobody seems to like him and his crappy assignments.
We want normal classes... and we have the right to change that if we want. Since it says in some law or paper or somethign that we students can choose our own way of getting eduction the way we want to.
So we sent an complaint to him with different kinds of remarks taht we want changed it the classes are to continue like this. And since i sort of been critizing his assingments so much he believes i was the leader and spearhead of that operation. So he's directing his anger at me. :P

Well... Enough of that... i can babble on and on about it and try to explain it all. But it's kinda hard to make it sound right.
That teacher really isnt doing any good...

LAN
........................................................................
Yes... what is a LAN? Some people ask...
It's a Local area network i answer.
And what the hell is that? They ask...
And i answer with this picture.

http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14038
(Im in there somewhere)
Yes... a bunch of sweaty computer nerds in the same room downloading and playing games night and day, living only on Pizza and variouse bevareges.
Naw... we arent sweaty... it was kinda cold for some people. But the rest is true.

This was my first lan. And i was really nervouse about it.
How would i get my computer there? What if something breaks? What if i get a virus?
Basically a bunch of "What if's".

At one moment is was ready of backing out, but my friends kept coaxing me about how great and fun it is. So they talked back into it again.

I got there alright, dads wife gave me a ride. I hade some problem getting my computer screen in. Since dad had insisted on that i transport it in it's original box, which is kinda huge.
Anyway, after much messing around with getting the computer in place (im bringing a smaller screen next time... WITHOUT A BOX).
After booting up the computer and getting internet working alsmot instantly i get the blaster worm. Wheeee!

Someone on the network had it... and it spread quickly. Soon my friend to my right among some others got it, and then i heard some cries of agony from the second room. (There were two rooms... obviusly :D)
Things looked grimm there for a while, but one guy, who i dont remember who it was, came to the rescue with a patch and a anti-virus program. Which fixed it. And all was good.

The following two days were filled with downloading and computer gaming. There were some tournamnets too. And i got 3rd place in Warcraft 3: Frozen throne.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14006
(Me: right Russian friend: Left. No wait! otherway around! Yeah...)

And 1st place with my team in Halo!
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14196
(Ugly guy in the middle)

I slept 4 hours and "gamed" 20 hours each day. From Friday to Sunday morning.
Damn... im such a nerd ¬¬

Anyway! Fear not... We were not constantly glued to the computers. We had some fun Non-computer competitions from around 03:00- 05:00 on sunday.

One was the coke drinking contest.
Each team consisted of 3 people. And they had to as quickly as possible to empty a crate of coke. It was calculated to be something around 2.5 liters of coke for each in the team.
I wasent in this contest. Although drinking alot of coke seems nice, but drinking ALOT like that was over my limmit. So worked on cheering wildly on my friends instead.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14135
(Look at that wild cheering! ME: Grey SHOES)

Hmm.. in that pic dosent look like the event had a big audience. But it had!
Things didnt go very well for my team.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14148

After the coke drinking contest where my mates eventually got 2nd out of three teams :P
There was contest of who could throw a network card closest to a tree stump.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14152
(A very informative pic)

For some reason i wasent in that one either... dont ask me why... I was abit tired so i didnt realize everyone could enter the contest.
Anyway!
The distance was pretty long. About 20 meters i think. And Network cards arent really aerodynamic either. But this was extremly fun too... many threw horribly bad... others like this one guy, hit the jackpot.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14151

It acctually got stuck too it. I never heard such an loud unanimous "Whoa".

Yeah... so that summs the Lan up pretty much. We had fun there. Im definatly going again. Because next time it's going to be a normal sized Lan.
This was a rather small one. With only 50 places. A Chibi-Lan someone called it.
The normal ones are held in my schools cafeteria. And there, there are places for up too 120 people. Yup.. definatly going.

Ah... there was a bunch other things... but i'll write about em some other time if i remember about it.

o.O

2003-10-09T05:12:31Z

Yesterday, when i walked past teh livingroom, i see dad, smiling like lil kid with the "Im just about to laugh but my mouth is frozen" look and staring intensly at the tv.
He's watching Tv... He's watching Mr.Bean... CARTOON MR.BEAN!!!

Legs...sore...

2003-10-06T17:20:33Z

We had a sports day today sorta....

orienteering to be more precise. But since i know that almost no one outside Scandinavia will know what the heck that is, i'll try to explain it.

It involves running into the woods with a map, compass and a piece of paper with numbers on it (1-13). Then you search for these white/orange Squares/boxes, marked on the map, that are numbered either 1-13 depending on which one you went too. At the usually cleverly hidden boxes there is a staple which you use to staple a special unique mark at the corresponding number on the piece of paper.

So yeah, you run into the woods and try to find as many of the "Checkpoints" as possible within the time limmit.
Then the score is calqulated from how many you found and the time you did it on.

It's really simple, although i might not make it sound that way...
The totall "track" can be about 7 km. And yes.. you can get lost pretty badly, but only if you're so stupid that you dont knwo whats up and whats down on the map (Which many peopel tend to do).

Anyway.. my classmate and i who i was running with (You usually run 2 and 2) got to checkpoint 5 without problem. But... then we came to this area which was COMPLETLY deforested, all trails and and stuff that were on the map were erased. I cursed the oldness of the maps were are forced to use and we ended up searching for almost 20 min for checkpoint 6.
We gave up evetually, since i had no idea were we kind of specifically were on the map, and headed in the generakk direction of nr.7.

We had hoped we would get around the highest score. Like last year when we got 2nd place out of all the people in our school. But that wasent possible now when we skipped one.

Damn this day sucked... We got stuck in some marshes later on betwen 8 and 9 that really made us waste time too.
I swear, the judges that put out the checkpoints are evil...
Probably laughing at our backs when we come running in to the goal all muddy, dirty and exhausted. ¬¬

We finnished in a time of 2 hours and 10'ish minutes after running about 6-7 km. Having taken 12 out of 13 checkpoints. Not bad, but not good by my standards.

It's a fun sport though!
I like it, since im pretty good at keeping track on the map on where we are and which route is the fastest (Not always easiet).
You also get to see many great sights of natures beauty.
I even saw this bird:
http://www.umea-it.se/vasterbotten/umea/faglar/bilder/tjader.jpeg

It's kinda rare and not so easy to see.

What did i miss?

2003-10-01T20:24:32Z

FINALLY now after istalling the fifth modem having failed with the previouse others im finally online again.

Man... i thought i was going to loose it because of the strange curse that made none of the modems i bought and borrowed work.

1st one didnt fitt...
2nd one didnt fitt either...
3rd one just didnt work.
4th one did not have any drivers for Win Xp.

BUT FIFTH ONE... Yay!

School is starting to feel extra hard now...
The blahness and randomness is gone. I dont got time for them anymore :P
I got so waaaaay too many school assignments to do, that i dont understand how i can remain sane.

Seems like the teachers expect you to drop all what private life is about and sit and do homework all evening until you collapse from exhaustion and then get waked up to go to school to get even more assignments.

Right now it feels that way because we got pretty damn much when each teacher bombards you with stuff that they demmand done before next week.
I think i can handle it though... i hope...

Uhm... more new things... hmm...
My teeth hurt... alot.
It's like they all were on a timer or something... because suddenly, BANG!. My wisdom teeth all start growing out at the same time, the other teeth in mouth starts to sting when i eat something and fillings just sort of... drop out...

Uh... Thats all i can remember to say...

>.

2003-09-25T11:44:38Z

Internet not worky!!! >.<
I been without internet for some days...
Damn lightning!

I'll have it fixed before next week. If im lucky, tomorow Friday.

Damn... ok i admitt... im abit addicted to internet ^^;

Aight

2003-09-18T22:13:19Z

Turns out im going to see Spirited away earlier then i thought.
A friend in school has it and i am going to borrow it from him! ^_^

So yah... Whee ^_^

I fell asleep in class... We were having these boring lesson in Swedish class about litterature and some certain writing ages... Nauralism and such...
I was really groggy and nodded of several times, just to awake when Teacher raised her voice abit.
Then she handed out these thick book things nad asked us to open up page 312 and start reading to 340.
It was a short story... about some house maid who didnt get to sleep. The title was "Too sleep"
I grinned, collapsed my head on the book with a loud thud and fell asleep...

Must have looked funny...
My tiredness is not because of me not sleeping enough.. ok maybe just a lil bit... but it's mostly because im really starting to get bored and the lectures in classes we get... i mean... im in my senior year now... I've endured 2 years of teacher going on and on about stuff i really dont care about and probably wont have any use of ever in the future... unless i get on Jeapordy with Strange topics...

Were having Social studies currently from home.. The teacher is in New york at The "Murry Bergtraum High School" or something... And he sends us weekly mail with differnet kinds of assignments in em.
At first this seemed as a cool idea... Peter Tollmar, which my teachers name, has a way of always making different kinds of experiments with his students.
But now i realize this could have worked much better if we would have had it with anyone ells but Tollmar.
I think im starting to hate that man, I used to have TMS with him a year back and i remember how annoying his classes was and how boring his lectures was.
I thought that now when the only contact we would have with him would be mail would relieve things but noooooooooo...

The Assignments are STUPID! You must discuss STUPID things, and sometimes you must try to explain words and phrases that are so obiuse they didnt bother trying to explain it in the Dictionary.
I've decided not to answer his mail anymore or do any of his assignments.
One reason, apart from the above ones also being that they take longer then the real classes we would have had would taken.

Bah.. im starting to write gibberish now... it's way too late for me to be staying up... Im getting to bed...
Ah.. no school tomorow friday... Nice.

I'll be damned if i dont update...

2003-09-13T12:43:02Z

I swear i've been trying to update maybe 5times.. but everytime somethign came up that hindered me from finnishing it.

Every single time of those 5 times i have had something new and interesting to write about but now they are all forgetten... blasted memory...

Anyway i'll start with saying that i moved down my good computer from my mom to my dad... So now i got computer power AND good connection! Yay me! ^_^
So in my free time i've been mostly playing games online as you can guess...

School wise things are going up and down.. sometimes i feel extremly blah and just want to drop dead or go feed toe foodchain or something...
But at other moments everythign is just goody good good...
Sp basically im still feeling completly random. ¬¬

Hmmm.. meh... I've been WANTING to draw latelly... but just couldnt get started...
I really need to force myself to draw sometimes, but once i pass the starting threshold, getting a few good looking scetchy lines down, it dosent feel that hard anymore and i rediscover they joy of drawing once again. ^^;

Oh yeah... i downloaded an Anime several friends of mine had Reccomended. FLCL.
I've never really watched Animes before, because there simply hasent been any in Sweden.
No seriouse ones anyay...
Anyay... The Anime was good, if abit odd, and i liked it.
I think im going to go to the movies and see "Spirited away" Which is supposed to be a really good award winning Anime thingy...

Thats all i could think of right now...
Hopefully i'll update more frequently now.

It Burns!! HA!! IT BURNS!!! YAAAY!

2003-08-30T20:50:44Z

Oh you're wondering whats burning are you?

Well we got this fire place thingy indoors which we never use. And we thought today that we were to use it. But lighting a fire turned out harder then we expected. ^^;
Must have been wood or something.

Anyway... in the end i managed to set up the wood nicelly in a tent'ish kind of position then stuffed a hell of a lot of paper and bark inside. That sure made it burn! ^_^
Man, i felt so strangely proud about it. as if i just discovered fire... :D

Anyway...

I've been having mixed emotions about school latelly. And i really mean mixed, because one moment i feel like killing myself and everyone within a 10 mile radius at the thought of school and the other moment i look forward to going there and on a third moment i dont even notice that im IN school, i sorta wake up when i get home.
And it has nothing to do with any specific rough school day or anything. The feelings are just completly random...
Im not sure why im bringing it up. I guess i just dont like feeling Random...

I finished reading a book today. "Talon of the silverHawk" by Raymond E Feist.
I've Enjoyed lots of books from Feist, he's a good fantasy writer, and i love Fantasy. ^_^
Talon of the Silverhawk was good, just as any of the other Feist books i've read. As the other books it's played (Played?) out in the world of Midkemia.

It's about a boy who's village gets destroyed on his Naming day (Day when boys get their adult name and are considered men).
He's badly injured and the only survivor and he would have died too if not a guy named Robert would have found him.

Yes... There is a second book i must get now, the story continues with Talon (Talon of the silver hawk is the boys name... Well he's not considered a boy anymore when he got that name)

Anyway, i reccomend anyone who likes to read to read Feists books. Start with "Magician" and you will most likelly be hooked. ^_^

Enough babbling about books... i feel peckish...
I'll think i'll go eat someon...er.. thing...

Ok...

2003-08-25T21:29:01Z

Long time since update... lets change that!

I got two things to talk about. School and my birthday.
Lets take in order of date.

School

School started last wednesday and i got the new schedule. At first it looked pretty crowded and stressy, put then some classes got picked out. Classes like for example the engineer group of our class had and we dont.
Now looking at teh schedule it's pretty deasent.

I was also worrying about how the new teachers would be... i was really afraid we would get one of those teachers that just goes on and on and on and on until you pass out from boredom.
There was one teacher that started showing those traits. Our teacher in Religion. He's from poland and has a polish accent. His name was hard to pronounce too, i think it was Ledzniek or something.
But he turned out to be an ok fellow, he had good humour which frequently used. And it made things more intressting and durable to listen to.

My classmates hadent changed one bit. Maybe abit in apperance, but they were all the same still. Which is good, they are good friends and i like to hang out with em.

One bad thing was that i wasent able to get a good locker in time. This time it was every man for himself to grab a locker and put a lock on it and claim it as your own. I forgot to brink a lock so.. bleah... looks like i'll be carrying a heavy backpack this term.

My birthday!

Yes i turned 18 last saturday. The so called magical age as some say, but i havent noticed any magical about it yet. Since i dont drink or smoke or anything, turning 18 wasent actually any use for me ^^;;
Things just got more expensinve... thats all.

At dad we celebrated my birthday on wednesday, because he was going on vacation on thursday, out camping apperently.
He acctually BRAGED about never being home at my acctuall birthday day. And claimed that last time he was it was in 1994.
I assume he was saying this as a joke, although it is true. It's not a very funny joke to me.
The party we had was fun though!
Relatives arrived and we had a good time. My cousin made some play later on where he dressed out in skanky clothes playing a bum, as an potential future him. It was quite amusing, it's turning into a tradition of sorts to do that at some special occasions.

The celebration at my mom was held on the sunday (SUNDAAAY!!!??! ;) ).
It wasent much different. Less people maybe... Better food yes...

Not much more to say... it's late and i cant remember anymore... And the sound my keyboard makes everytime i press a button echoes in my head, giving me a headache.

I'll end with a dad Quote. This one was so unclear that no matter how hard i tried, i could not make out any words (except my name). Apperently it turned out to be an important matter...
"Joooniii! mmaaaakarrrhgaa blaaakkasshjj! haaauukkkaaa kaaauuun!!!"
Since i didnt "hear" what he said. We all got to eat burned sausages that day.

Oh well...

2003-08-18T22:44:20Z

So school starts tomorow... Not much to do about it.

This year will be rough, i know it, since it's the last year. All the hardest classes are to be made and passed. Im probably going to bitch and whine in my Lj about it alot ^^;;

*Grabs a coke and sips it as it was some really strong random alchohol product*
Aye, Times will be tough.. but im ready for it!... i think

To make a summary out of how the summer has been i'd hafto say that things have been quite good.

I've got the rest i wanted... (Maybe abit too much of that)
I was out sailing at least once... (A couple of more times would have been good)
I've hanged out with friends i havent seen much off. (Old old classmates and such)

One thing that buggs me that i never went to the amusment park "Gröna lund" thats in the middle of Stockholm. It's such a cool place.
I really wanted to go... but no point and fun in going alone. You see, all my friends kept saying that they were out of money... ¬¬

Anyway.. all in all.. summer has been good. ^_^

There is a possibility that mom will get broadband (I dunno what it is in english... vdsl?). And not just any broadband, broadband from 'Bredbandsbolaget' which is the best in Sweden right now.
If this comes through im going to be utterly happy. Becuase then i will have cable on my own personal 2.53 ghz computer. So i'll be able to do basically anything i want on the net! ^_^

But this raises another question. Wont i be spending too much time at the internet then?
And thats something i fear might happen. That i spend more time playing games online when i should be studying.
I'll hafto summon up all my powers of self-dicipline for things not to turn out like this. And i'll think it'll be fine. I'll find a balance.

This wont come for free ither.. im going to hafto pay for half of the monthly cost... which is 200 kr (About 18 US $).

Dad is supposed to leave for Kebnekaise thursday. Which is far up north in sweden. He's going up there to vander about with his wife.
From the pictures i've seen it's a nice place... High hills and open rocky terrain.
He said that if he was up for it he was going to climb te highest mountain in sweden. Which is about 2300 meters i think.

Funny thing about all this was that he just went out the door to take an sort of exercise walk to prepare himself for the trip. And he came limping back just 3 minutes later saying that he somehow hurt his knee badly.
I really do wonder how he will manage up there ^^;

Anyway... i've done enough rambling today... It's way too late to be updating you lj acctually ^^;;
I'll end with a dad quote, since i got plenty of them.
"You creak in your walk! The floor hurts ass..."

Unghf?

2003-08-12T08:28:32Z

Lesse... Monday... Eventfull.

Went to my Grandmother, and folmed as requested.
Turnoed out that they wanted me to film when they rebuilt the floor in the hallway like in documentary wise.
So they could watch it later... or when they were older.
The so called "Awesome" thing was that the floor was quite missing and you could see down to the floor bellow.

Not that awesome if you ask me, but for Grandmah who is abit of a clean freak, it was quite a big deal.

Anyway.. after that, when getting home around 18:00 or so.
dad calls me up and asks if i wanted to join him on night guard duty over at our harbou/boatclub thingy.
It would mean that we would be there from 22:00-06:00. Making several patrols and walk around to check that everything is in order.

Well.. as i said. I really dont got anything better to do so i accepted.

The night was uneventfull... no thieves creeping around. Altough a group of 8 people docked with their sailboat and when we approached them and talked to them i thought they were behaving very strange, they seemed too tense somehow. It occured to me later that they might all have been REALLY tired, since it was around 00:30... And it looked like they had been out for quite some time. It's not easy to sleep in a boat if you arent used too it.

Anyway, I just got back from it. I havent slept or anything, nor do i feel like sleeping at the moment. But i do feel sluggish and tired...
I just dont wanna waste all tuesday in my bed... thats all...

Bangs head against a wall

2003-08-10T22:30:53Z

Gah! These endless monotonous days are getting too me.
Days rush by way too quickly for my liking!

And school is getting closer every minute!

See this, this is an good example on... stuff:
""""""""""""
Me: So you're leaving for that summer camp this year too are ya? When is it?

My sister: It's the week before school. I'll be there a week and when i get home it's three days left until school starts.

Me: k... so you're leaving next week? Two weeks?

My sister: No! Silly... now on Sunday!

Me: AUGH! What day is it!?

My sister: Wednesday.

Me: I though it was monday!!!

----*a seemingly short time passes*----

Me: What are you packing for?

My sister: Duh! It's sunday... im leaving for camp today!

Me: What!? AUGH! Nooooooooooo.
""""""""""""

Yeah... so time is being evil on me...
I thought comming to mom would improve things. But thing just changed into another but a very similar routine...

I've tried getting up earlier... but it hasent worked...impossible to get up.

On another note... The toolset in the game Neverwinter nights, which lets you create your own lil towns and adventures, has caught my attention.
Im really considering starting to make modules. I've downloaded a Tutorial just now to help me get going although i already figured out quite alot myself and was able to create a lil faerie dwaggy with special powers . (Called him Avolc) ^_^

I got great ideas for adventures and quests i want to create...

My grandmah called today and started babbling something about they rebuilding the floor, and there was something that was supposed to be so awesomely great about it or something, that she asked me to be there to film it.
Now, i couldnt really make out what was supposed to be so cool. since she talked Finnish and in such a hurried tone. (My Finnish has better days and i can now safelly say im better in english then finnish.)

But anyway.. im going to be there all day filming something "awesome" tomorow...
Got nothing better to do as you all know about now....

Oh look... the sky! Marvels

2003-08-05T09:29:40Z

Aha! Now moms weeks begin...
And i feel the strong sense of relief and freedom again.
And there's windows here! I can finally see outside!
---
("Side note")
My room at Dad is under the stairs. It's not even a room. So i got no windows there and i have to live by some crappy lamp lights. Very depressing place.
---
But now i got no permmament connection to the internet... Which feels sucky. ¬¬

Things that hit me and started worrying me is that school is getting closer... now only three weeks away.

Oh well... it will be my last year and then i graduate... Whatever happens after that i dunno yet.
And thats another thing! Completly unknown futures frightens me abit... Especially when they got to do with your life.
I mean, it's not like im saying i want my whole life planned out for me. But i'd like to know what i want to do and make my own choices.
But i dont even know my own choices or what i want right now...

But i figured that i will have these choices:

1.Continue studying (Most likelly option, i just dunno what to study.)
2.Take a year off from school and work some, THEN study. (also a very likelly option, but where the heck am i going to work? >.<)
3. Go into the military. (Blah... Probably not going unless they force me)

Oh well... enough about that.
Im gonna go play some games now... or practice drawing! ^_^
Drawing is fun ^^

Omg

2003-08-04T11:39:35Z

I forgot the dad quotes!
Damnit!

Anyway, this morning i awoke too:
"Hame kame haa, Joni.... Hame kame Haaa!"

Kill it! KILL IT!!!

2003-07-31T21:43:46Z

The last couple of days has been abit boring... It's been the same routine over and over. And it's really something i tried to avoid doing this summer because it makes the days fly by too quickly.

Anyway... here is a summary of how the last couple of 6 days has gone by. Every day, the same thign, all over again...

(Point A) (<- See below)
7:30 Am:
Dad gets up and leaves for work. This wakes me up since dad is not a very quiet person.
I turn computer on just for the heck of it and go back to sleep.

Around 8:30-10:30 Am
I get up, getting waked either by my sister doing noise, or AIM doing noise.

Around 12:30- 2:30 Pm:
I stop surfing the net and chatting and go over to my mom, to play computer games, draw (if im feeling artistic) or help mom out with the baby and so...
Sometimes i watched a movie with a friend (Road Trip and The Ring).

Around 5:00 Pm:
Someone calls and tells me that dinner is done or it's my turn to make dinner. And i go back to my dad. (he lives a 1 min walk from my mom)

From 6:30 Pm too 01:00 Am.
I do random stuff like Watch Tv, surf randomly and chat with online friends or hang out with a friend in Rl.

Around 01:00 Am
I get to bed.

Next day, Rewind to point A (See Above) and repeat.

So yeah... a week of only this, gives me a headache. Luckilly moms week starts next week. And somehow thigns are always more eventfull there.
Dont ask me why, i dont know, but they are.
And i've planned to go to an amusment park next week too. So yay...

So far the only really "fun" activity i had here at dad this week, has been to create an sort of "collection" of differnet kinds of splattered bugs on my wall.
I add more specimens to my collection every night before bedtime, because there are hundreds of them in my room after dad left the door open to our backyard for 2 hours, which he always does.

If it's a bug i alredy got ony my wall i use my special bug xapper to kill it instead. (I'll tell you about my bug zapper some other time)

*Looks at his wall* Lesse, the bugs i can name are: Mosquito (2 differnet kinds), crane fly, wasp, bee, Small annoying "Fly into face kamikaze" fly and then a couple i dunno what the heck they are... But i got mostly moths!!!

I used to like moths, thinking they were kinda cute.
But a certain lil incident with 3 moths falling down on my face at night when i was trying to sleep changed all that.

Hmm.. im talking too much about bugs i think.. time to stop...

Yay!

2003-07-26T18:33:08Z

I get to be home alone for some days now... im not entierly sure how long it will be but atleast for some days.

And this time i didnt lock myself out! ¬¬

Now there is a specific thing i need to do....
Find out what my country code is! ;)
*Ahem* Yeah....

Whee again

2003-07-23T23:09:18Z

Wheee Typos ^_^
I
I
I
V

Wheee ^_^

2003-07-23T23:05:04Z

Oh boy... This was sure an eventfull and fun day. ^_^

Let me tell you about it.
We went to this beach place resort thingy today, we tossed some frisbee at first, then we played volleyball... it was lot of fun...
And it was really hot today...

Then while the rest where taking a swim to cool of... I and some friends of mine who did not feel like getting wet, sat and played Advance wars to gba in the shade.
Then Decided to go to my aunt, and all my relatives were there and we had a big Bbq! ^^
It was fun.. even for my friend who didnt know anybody. ^^
We did lots of things, but it would be too much to mention....

Anyway... The thing i want to get at is the trip home, which was very exciting. Because apperently there is some Huge secret Streetrace get together thingy going on. There were sports cars everywhere! I even saw a extremly awesome Viper. I dunno what kind it was... think dad said something about v10-12 or something... whatever thats about.. im no good with cars.

But anyway.. they were EVERYWHERE!
Zipped past us in lightning speed on the freeway all the time. Going way way waaaaaay over the speed limmit. One had a cop after him... ^^

A funny thign happened at a red light.
You see we were driving this car:
http://hoba02-ue.eng.hokudai.ac.jp/hoba/images/2cv.jpg
It's not our car on the picture, but we got an Exact copy, colors and all.

And since that car has some kind of motorcycle engine it can make an really nifty Vmmm Vmmmm sound. ^_^
There was this Streetrace car next too us at the red lights.
Dad Challenged them with Vmm vmmm'ing (Doess Vmm vmmm have a name?).
And he responded with the most Earthbreaking Vmmm vmm i heard ^^;;;.
And then when the Lights turned green we both spinned off or waht you call it.. you know when the tires are spinnig making that screeching sounds burning the rubber off the wheels. Our car isnt very fast though, we didnt have a hint of a cahnce even ^^;;.
It was all very very fun. ^_^
Deffinatly a had to be there moment. ^.^

That streetrace car waited for us upahead and drove next to us, the driver giving us an friendly wave and thumbs up like sorta saying "Hey you guys are alright, have a good one!" Then he speeded off showing off the speed of his car. ^_^

I really got new respect for cars and racing right now. ^_^
I so want to be at one of those Streetrace places at watch as they do what they do. ^_^
But it's not so easy. They change locations every now and then, and if they use a place too frequently the goverments puts in Speedbumbs to prevent further Streetracing at that location.

A new thing that im going to have in my Lj and make everytime i update is something i will call (untill i find a better name for it) "The randoms sayings of dad".
These are things i think i heard him say when he yelled some order or wahtever from upstairs. I can never make out what he says when he does that...
Anyway.. this time he yelled something that sounded like:

"Joni! Slice the curtains and put the grass on fire!"

To end this update i would like to say that im feeling very happy and hyperactive, ^_^
Life is good, enjoy it anyway you can!

Back at my dsl finally... ^^

Lesse... recent Events.

A car suddenly caught fire on the parking lot outside my window. I didnt really notice it (Being so into my new game) until i the wind blew in dark black smoke into my room. Which came so suddenly it frightened me! ^^;;;

Anyway... I think i breathed in alot of that smoke. Not only because it blew into my room, but because i also had to go outside and check the burning car out ^^;;
Heard later by the firemen that it was toxic or something.

I seem to be ok though... Had a slight headache.. throat was sore for a hour or two. *Shrugs* No more too it then that as far as i know.

I also bought a new game.. or rather an Expansion to a game i have. Spent 300 kr on it... thats roughly around 26$ in US dollars i think...
I played through the game in 1 and a half day. Im wondering if it really was worth the money.

And finally.
My new baby sister is really kinda funny. ^^
I can swear she and i had a staring contest today. My mom was holding her while watching Tv and i noticed she was staring at me. So i stared back. She looked into my eyes and i looked into hers... We stared at eachother for somethign like 2 min. Then she pooped LOUDLY and laughed at me. She won that battle.... ¬¬
Thats the first time anyone seen her smile btw.... Babies dont smile i hear... until the get abit older at least.
Anyway... I spent alot of time with the baby today. It felt good. She's cute and she kinda likes me... ^^
I guess im the funny big brother ^_^

AAARRGGHHH!!!! Bangs door with fists

2003-07-18T17:33:59Z

Guess what... i locked myself out of my own home!!! >.<

I managed to talk myself out of the sailing trip, and i was feeling happy about now getting to have the house for myself in 2-3 days.

So happy... i really really felt like drawing. So i went to my mom for a while. Since the computer there is good enough to handle Photoshop without slowing up the computer too much.

Dad and the rest hadent left yet when i went to my mom... But they were far out at the sea when i realized i forgot the keys and called them.

BLAH I SAY! BLAAAH!

Im stuck at my mom now... which isnt so bad... But i would have liked to be alone for some days. And have cable! ¬¬

Stuck with a expensive Dial up now....

Im so going to try breaking in tomorow...

*Sighs* Guess i can draw alot now...

Oh dear...

2003-07-17T16:05:13Z

*Is holding on to his chair looking a tad seasick*

So yeah.. Dad suddenly decided that we should go out sailing.
We left on Wednesday morning and was out to sea over the night and got home around 5 pm on thursday.

I dun like sailing anymore... ¬¬
It has just quite simply got boring...
I tried to stay on the positive side during the whole trip though and it helped abit. I never really got extremly bored.

*Stops for a moment as it feels as if a wave is rocking the whole house*
I dont like this after feeling you get, where everyhting is moving as if you were still upon the sea...

Anyway... Dad says were going back out tomorow Friday... I really do not look forward too it and am going to try talk myself out of it.
But i dont think i'll succeed. If i really hafto go im going to try buy Golden sun for my (Or acctually borrowed) Gba.
I tried buying it yesterday at a supermarket when dad was buying some supplies. But it cost around 435 kr there. Which is about 54$ us dollars. Way too much if you ask me.
I hope it's cheaper elsewhere...

Uh-oh... Huge wave comming up...
*falls out of chair*

I had such an urge to draw the whole time i was out there.. but never got the chance...

How does a Slug dragon look like anyway? It has been puzzling me the whole trip.

Sliiiime!!!

2003-07-16T06:46:21Z

Yeah... ok... Time to write abit about the week that passed instead.

Well lesse.
I spent the major of the week at a buddy of mine. I carried down my own 2.53 Ghz internetless computer from my moms house and we had a sort of mini LAN (Local area Network). It's something i've never really done before or get to do very often.

Gawd i wish i had cable at my mom. Internet is so much more fun on a good ocmputer.
AND MY COMPUTER IS GOOOOD! ^_^;;

Anyway... we played games like Freelancer and Battlefield 1942 on the net together.
Mostly Freelncer i guess...
I so wish i knew a way i could put my screenshots up... but i dont. Someone tell me? ^^

Anyway... I might as well tell you about Freelancer. Since this is my Lj and i feel like talking about it. ^_^
Freelancer is a fly around in space game... You get a weak ship and a handfull of cash then your jobb is to get more money basically. ^_^
Well the singleplayer has a a story in it... but it's not there when playing multiplayer.

You are free in the game to roam around in the Freespace universe which is kinda huge at first, but feels small after a while, when you know all the routes and jumpholes. ^^
We played until we had the strongest ships in the known (And unkown) universe. ^_^
It was real nice to cruise around the newbie neighborhood showing of your ship and your weapons. ^^;;
But then there isnt much more to do once you got to that level... no more goals to achieve really... Except help the noobs and kill cheaters. ^^

So i got bored with it at that point. My friend didnt... he's obessed with it now... @@
Anyway... the other game... battlefield... It's a first person shooter. Real nice. Im not going to rambe about it, but it's Higly reccomended. Espcially a mod too it thats called Desertcombat. I kick so much ass in that game. ^_^

Other from the gaming i have... *ponders*
...
Hmm...
Oh yes! My cousin visited. That was fun... for a while...
We played some Warcraft 3 against and with eachother... But mostly we did whatever... like walking around outside talking. we also tried recording some funny scetch with his camera... but we never really got started.... no inspiration at all this time it seems. We just filmed some fishies in a nearby lake eat some frogs that "Accidentally" fell in.... alot... ^^;;

I saw Ghostship now too... i dont know what to make out of it... it wasent creepy. Not like Signs...
It was just really... bloody. ^^
Ok, not as bloody as Event Horizon, but still...

Thats pretty much all i can make up writing about right now. I'll update again when i find enough. ^_^

If you ecuse me i gotta go try draw slime.
