Oh, brilliant.

I've missed this inexplicable feeling of being worth less than dirt, of offending everyone with my very existence.

And you know the really stupid thing? It's not because I've recently done something very wrong - though it certainly feels like I have - or because someone has expressed a negative opinion of me or my work. Nothing has happened. My life is as it always was, and I'm fine. Except I feel... anxious. Not depressed, exactly, just uneasy and a somewhat guilty for no apparent reason.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm entirely mentally stable. Other times, I figure that since none of my eccentrities prevent me from continuing to function like a normal person, I'm probably all right on the whole. I should probably go see a professional about this someday, but there's this part of me that's always telling me I'm overreacting, and I'm inclined to believe it.

Well, writing this entry has made me feel better, at least. Perhaps now I can get some sleep.

Something I've been wanting to rant about for a while:

So, one or two years ago, there was an ad campaign in the finnish women's magazine MeNaiset (the name can be translated as WeWomen or UsWomen) to raise awareness of breast cancer. The ad features a picture of a shirtless woman dressed in pirate garb and wearing a large "eyepatch" over one missing breast.

Now, when I first saw it, I thought it was creative and powerful and would make people stop and think. But get this, apparently there were people who just plain missed the point and complained about the other breast, which was bare. I saw some discussion about it on the 'net some months ago and all I could think was: "We're FINNS, for God's sake! The average woman reading this magazine is between 25 and 60 years of age and must've seen thousands of boobs belonging to other women she's never even spoken with, thanks to public saunas and whatnot. Bare nipples in women's magazines are not unheard of, and the ad was not a sexual one, so I fail to see the problem.

I'm including the picture here for those of you who are interested:

As much as I want to not cut it, I realize that not every country would consider it worksafe, especially taken out of context )

Seems scans of Deathly Hallows have leaked online.

Right now avoiding spoilers should be simple enough for me, since I don't frequent that many HP or multifandom places that I couldn't stay off of for five days. Staying the fuck away from 4chan should be no problem, either.

D: but I can't even begin to tell you guys tell you guys how tempted I am to seek out the spoilers. Especially since I saw a spoiler about a week ago that was unexpected enough to be fake but also plausible enough to be real. And since it was a troll post, it could've been either D: And I kind of want to check if the real spoilers match or not. But I'll be strong.

As for the actual book, I'm still hoping for a ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE DIES solution :D.

Hello, this is a picspam post of OP episode 314. It's imageheavy LIEK WHOA.

Also, there are spoilers )
mipeltaja: (Oh noes!)
They're not going to air Mi Gorda Bella during the summer. D:

That means approximately three months' lack of more or less hot Venezuelan people screaming at each other in a language I don't really understand, being attracted to basically everyone but the person they're currently with and trying to kill each other when not masquerading as someone who doesn't actually exist. WHAT AM I GOING TO DOOO?

You'd think that would be the ideal summertime program, but no. I guess I'll have to tape a few episodes to watch over and over if I go into withdrawal, which I probably will, because I'm so hooked on the stupid telenovella that every weekday on six o'clock I just drop everything and sit down in front of the TV for the next 50 minutes.

Well, as usual, I'm exaggerating. Except for the "drop everything" part, because I do that. I don't throw tantrums if I'm not home at six, though. Yet.

That is all I can say. I'm bored out of my skull and can't figure out this Spanish keyboard I'm currently using.

I just finished the last book I had with me and all the interesting paperbacks they seem to have for sale around here are in languages I cannot understand. The first half of the week was unbelievably cold and now I've got a sunburn.

I'm not having as bad a time as I make it sound, though. I just have this tendency to only see the bad sides when something is happening and later only remember the good things. The fact remains that I would rather be home right about now.

They're also airing Galaxy Quest in Finland tonight, as though they wanted me to mss it again. It's the same channel, even. Thankfully, I do have a helpful granfather with a VCR, but it does begin to seem as though a conspiracy. I'm lucky I don't believe in conspiracies.

I'm sorry if some part of this isn't making any sense, but I'm running out of time and I'm not about to waste any more money on this.
