We think http://mipeltaja.livejournal.com/ is written by a woman (80%).

I'm oddly disappointed by this result. I didn't realize my writing style was this feminine.

Oh god, what is this:

I AM NEVER DOING ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE EVER AGAIN.

Aaand I'm back at my own place and still waiting for my new modem to arrive (I'm getting my internet through cable now, so my old phone line modem won't work), so still no Internet for me. :(

I guess I'll just surf in class like I'm doing now. I hope the modem arrives today or tomorrow, though. I'm in the middle of an animation course and I like to watch other people's animations for inspiration.

What does it say about the Internet that there is a website (probably several) that will simulate flipping a coin for you?

And what does it say about me that not only was I certain that there would be a site like that, but my first instinct was to google for it rather than pick up an actual coin and flip it?

YOU'RE ON MY F-LIST, I want to know 30 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never really clicked, or if we already know everything about each other. I really don't. You are obviously on my flist, so let me know with whom I'm friends with!

(You can ignore questions you don't feel like answering. Really, I won't be offended if you ignore this whole meme.)

Hi, friendslist! If you have a minute, take a look at my dragon eggs to help them grow:

I'll probably fail at raising these, but in the meanwhile I'm all for new toys to help me waste my time online. :D

Well, that's interesting. My computer says I have no Internet connection when I kind of obviously do.

This post has been brought to you by boredom and mild confusion.

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 )

1. Comment here and I'll pick one of your LJ interests and draw a picture using the mighty MS Paint.
2. You have no say in what I draw for you, or in how much it will suck!
3. Put this in your journal along with the pictures people drew for you

( This is what I got! )

It's kinda old, but I figured I'd share, anyway.
