Yo-ho-ho.
Update time, but this time, not in this address. See...there's a new link in the advertisement-section. Yups...I started a new project. So...when you're waiting for Ninjafied Piratism and I'm planning the lil' sucker in panic (it must be perfect..I can't start it with so many plot-holes), you can go and see my other 'meanwhile'-comic: "Thomas vs. the World" (the name will change some day..>>;;).
I try to update it on mondays (nte the word try) and it's more of a test and practice comic than anything else. boogah.

And hey...then, an announcement: anyone who has sent me mail to my address in the shop-page, please, if you haven't received a reply by now, please, send your mail again. It turned out that most of the mail to that address went streight to the bulk-mail-folder without me even knowing it and has gotten deleted..X__X;;; I'll kick hotmail majorly for this. Byyh. So, please send the mails again. I've losted count of who wants what and what's going on so I'll start from the clean table now in the store.. ^__^;;;; My humblest apologies for the inconvenience.


updated: 7.6.2004
eh..hehe..so, it's my good old tradition to update this place on my birthday.XD I do it every year. Atleast I remember doing it.
Hmm...first of all, sorry y'all for neglecting this place for so long again (4 moths of non-updateness? gnh) but yes..lots of stuff has happened. trying to get to university and all. But happy news for the site now. Three new pictures! Plus more coming hopefully soon.
Andthen: thank you Tracee (from hawaii, who wrote in my GB)+ few others who have so kindly offered to host my site. Thank you so much! But in a matter of fact, I might be getting a good deal of getting my own site veery soon, so I think I'll just use that opportunity. Thank you though, you people (you know who you are), for the fabulously kind offers! luluw! <3


updated: 12.02.2004
Woot. So..I got tired of the new layout..and did even a newer one...xDD mascot in this layout is my character Thomas. (Who probably gets his own webpage soon as I tend to do these sites and layouts out of pure boredom..^__^;;) Ehm....and then, err, sorry peeps for the slow and non-existent picture-updating, but I have a reason for that: I don't have any space left in this tbns-account..X__x;; plus I'm too poor to buy my own site and all that stuff. gn.

But I try to figure out what to do very soon and plot and paln and promise to bring you new stuff very soon. :) yay.

-thank you all for signing the guestbook and visiting the site! *luws and hugs you all*

10.12.2003

I'm so happy right now: I got this whole layout done quicker than I thought (only 4 days for total revamp), I have job (haven't told in my site yet, whoo) and got my first pay today, have bought almost all christmas pressies and, well, today I made a deal of selling 5 pictures and 3 prints to this nice lady at my job-place. woo!

Yup..and sorry for not updating much these days..but I actually can't upload...there's no more space in my account..-_-;; Yup...I've used all my space and I'd realy have to either do a reeeeally big deletion-fest or just try and by my own domain or something like that....yup....I hope I find a solution soon, 'cause I have sooo much new pics that aren't here. I've updated my elfwood and pother galleries though..so go and find the new piccies...they're somewhere out there....^__^

19.9.2003

YUp..I've once again added a project to my endless project-list. It's a new webcomic-wannabe. boogie. Named simply: 'Ninjafied Piratism'.

It can be found from it's bran new and sparkly site: just click here.

There's going to be alot of new art from this year, but my eyes are now dead from the html-code, so I have to take a lil' break. But look at these and I'll upload some new pics soon. Most of the pics are hand-drawn, but some of the new ones are made with my bran new birthday-pressie tablet..hii!^____^

Well...where should I start?..hmm...well..I'm back home from school 'from-the-middle-of-nowhere' for good now...booh...it's over...booh.

yup...and now..that I'm back in my own room..with my own computer...I CAN ACTUALLY UPDATE THIS WHOLE DARN PLACE! ^___^ Yup....and as yu can see from the 'preview' i.e. the mainpage...there's going to be lots of changes...uuu...faancyy....Well, I had the old layout for over 2 bloody years!...hehee...so, I'm revamping everything now...but I think I'll do it slowly...in the summervacation, though...so...except new things to pop up here just here and then and...well..I'm deletin A LOT of old piccies....and I mean alot...so, look at them while ye can, 'cause after that they are history...well...I'll leave the ones I like the best, so I'm not starting from the clean table, though..heh. But, anyway, nice to be back in business...wait and you'll get loads of new stuff...and happy summer!!

9.3.2003

Hullo, peeps! Just wanted to drop a line here and show, once again, that I truly AM alive. Not dead....not given up drawing....and, well, alive. And I also am happy tell ya, that I have now (finally!) re-vamped my link-page over here. It doesn't look godawfull or sickening anymore...it should be looking a little nicer. And I also added some links there, which is always good, ne? You have more places to flee from the horrors of this palce. XD Yup....and, actually, I ORDER! you people to visit the links and most of all all of my friends' sites. They're great people and draw like gods....and stuff...go and see. Yup...still haven't got any time to clean this place from the old garbage and acient pics...but hopefull I get some time soon and a net-connection so I'd be able to do that.:P
But...I'll to update this place soon, hopefully, and we see then. Happy spring-time to ya all! Habla-pooh!

4.2.2003

Hi people! Happy new year...'n stuff....
WEll...I just came here to tell you that I'm still alive and kicking and drawing stuff. But I'm sorry to tell you that there's no new pic uploaded here. Ikkus-Booh. Bbut I also have a good reason for that: there isn't enough space here at my tbns-server-account-thingy, i.e. I don't have space to upload my piccies. So, I think I'll have to have a great deletion -day some day and take loooads of stuff away from here. Old stuff will have to go and new stuff will replace it. Woot for that. Well...I'm too tired and busy to do it now, but I'll probably do it as soon as possible. Hmm...I think I'll have to do a new desing for these pages, too...gn, dunno....I'm a bit tired of the old layout. Bah. Well...I'll go now, but I'll try to uodate the Elfwood-galleries more often now. Dun-dun-dunnn....
jumps off to draw stickfigures*

1.12.2002

Hullo people! Moosh! There's something new at the site today...and that new thing is at the gallery-page...and it is a link to my new site! Woosh! Ok, that site is sooo much different from all other sites of mine. First of all it's actually a collaboration-site with my friend Pilvi (also known as Korone). The site's called Delirium Dreams and it's about my character Simmoney (well...the psyko/eevil side of his personalities) and Pilvi's character Stake. Moosh,moosh. But hey, a little announciation: the site also includes violence, slah (yaoi, whatever you call it) and stuff that may not be suitable for everyone. But hey, humor is never forgotten and there are some really funny/weird thing there...oh, and looooooots of art. XP So, go and see it for yerself. But now...I go to do stuff...

27.10.2002

Ok, so my wonderful little week-lasting vacation will be over tomorrow (urkh.....and I'll spend 7 hours on a train yet again...bah) But! Now I've actually have done something to this site! There are now 16 new pics at the original art. w00t. And as I already stated in the earlier updates this week, I've created a page for my muse, updated the 'about me'-page and revamped the Blue Cat's page. Whew...so I got something done. I'll have to leave the guest art, poems and a new link-page till the next time. My net-space is also getting kinda non-existence, so except a big art-deletion in december (when I'll get home again from school).
But, have a nice autumn and you can still catch me best even from MSN messenger or at my livejournal.
Ta-ta!

21.10.2002

hey....lookie! I actually got something done in here! w00t! And stufff...
new about me ramble and then a bran new section: Moose's lair. Huzzah. And those of you who can't read my mind I can tell that Moose id my muse. Hah.
And now I should go and make some thumbnails for the original art update....hmm....*goes*

19.10.2002

Hello, dear citizens! It is me! The one who-doesn't-get-to-update-so-often-because-it-is-really-difficult-to-get-to-computer-at-her-school. Ye, me.
Ok, aaaanyway...we have a holiday for a week from school, so I home right now...for a week...And I will update everything (!) on my site. Muahahaaaa! The update is going to happen in the timespan of today-next sunday...everything must look good when I leave back to school. Well, I've already started a little bit: The Blue Cat-gallery is now looking bran new. It has some new stuff (not much, but it looks better anyway). So, expect updates in original art, guest art, poems, fan art and the elfwood galleries (all 3) and of course the LotR mini-shrine. Oh, and I'll be revamping the link-page and 'about me'-page, too. Hmmm...did I miss anything from that list? :P
And If you want to get hold of me, I'll probably be available in the msn messenger or my bran new sparkly livejournal. *wink wink*
and now...I update....*swoosh*...

9.8.2002

so, hello again.Long time no see...read...write..whatever. Whew...I'm here, at home for this weekend and leaving back to school tomorrow. You know, I had nothing to worry about the school: The atmosphere is easy-going, peole are fantastic and I don't have to do anything but draw. Comics. :P Only bad side is that liminka is a very very very little city and we're practically middle of nowhere.
Oukei, I was going to update this site today, but I've already updated my sci-fi (after 6 moths or something) and fantasy-galleries in elfwood and the LotR-minishrine. I'm exhausted and it's 4 am, so I think the update on this page will have to wait for some time. I'll try to do it quickly. :P
But hey, ether's alot (!) of new pics at the sci-fi gallery, so atleast there's something to oogle at. :)
Now I'll sleep.
I'll get back to you soon. Bye! *gets ready to leave back to Liminka*

10.8.2002

Updated. Hah. 3 new pics (well...actually two, because there's two versions of the other pic.:P)
Yup, and now an announcement: I won't probably be around here in a little while (starting art school in two days...and you can read all about it here). Anyway, shortly: I go far away to study and don't know anything about their web-connections (don't have my own 'puter with me) So, don't wonder if I don't answer in yer mails in a while. I'll try answer you as soon as I get back infront of a computer.
But now, time being 04:45 am. I'll retire to sleep-state and 'see' ya all soon (in the near future...I hope)

18.7.2002

*wipes brow* Whew...updated. 5 new pics. And then, there's a little nostalgia-corner in the original gallery. I was trying to find a pic, when I stumbled across a little pile of a little older art (that sucks!), so I just uploaded them for lark. Haha. Hmm...yop...that's all I have to say here.:P Oh, and as you probably can see, the Lothlorien and fanquarter-galleries have new pics, too. (One of my pics got to be a moderators choice pic 13.7. Whee!)

5.7.2002

Whee! An update. 4 new in the original-gallery. I have also updated my fanquarter and Lothlorien-galleries in the Elfwood. Ah, feeling so productive today. The zone-gallery will have to wait for a while, though...
I also changed the main-page pic again. <-- Just felt like announcing that.
And once more, people: if I have not answered in your mail, it means I have not got it in the first place. It's not me being mean or snobby. Hotmail just hates me. So, just send the message again...please...
Bah...have nothing else to say...been babbling too much elsewhere.
But, cheers and come back again. I'll start to work with the Link-page as soon as I recover from today's updates....*whew*

22.6.2002

Hmm...Simmoney has claimed his place on the front page again. And he's dancing samba. Hmm-hmm...so...this could mean only one thing: (fanfare's please) This site is updated! Full of new pics! Rased from the dead! Not dead!! *jumps off the walls* So, what do we have here: 14 new original pics (umm...I had more when I started making this update, but most of them were old, mean and ugly, so I dropped them off the update along the way.), two new in fan art (my first trade-pics Wau), the old art gallery is now open (all the older original is now there) and then, there's the light of my life and the thing that makes me extremely happy: guest art gallery! *squee* I have guest art. Whee! I was supposed to revamp the link-page, but I guess that has to wait for a while. I've been working really hard to get even this done. Whew.
And now some announcements:
I have now answered allmost every mail I have got this year (except a few, that I'll answer soon), but I've had some mails sent to me in witch people ask about mail that I haven't answered. And now it seems like I haven't even got those mails. I had some trouble with hotmail during the time'period of february-early march, so if you have sent me a mail and I haven't answered it, I propably haven't even got it. *hits hotmail repetedly with a blunt object* So, if you think hotmail has eaten some mail, please send me the mail again. Thank you.
And then...I got accepted in an artschool...in a place dedicated only to comic art. I have a week to think if I want to go there. It's pretty far away from where I live, but hmm...I don't know. And now a call to people: if anyone of you, who visit my site are in/ are going to Liminka art-school (Limingan taidekoulu), it would be nice to hear from you (to hear about the place and/or share the nervous feeling towards it) Eli älkää pelätkö ottaa yhteyttä.:)
What else can I say...well, not much. And I think that the next update will not take this long (4 months) to appear. Mhee-hee...
Over and out.
[oh, and just remembered to mention: if some of you is highly bored or other way in an odd mood, come and say hello to me in my bran new deadjournal (because, apparently, I'm not cool enough to have a Livejournal.:P)]

7.6.2002(<--waitaminute! I was born that day! Cool!)

Hmpf...as you can see once again I have fooled you. No new pictures...YET! And as you can also see, the psycho!me has taken over the front page and makes more promises to you. So, the update, that I have been planning will include: new pictures (doh!), new improved link page, guest art page and maybe something more. I also think that my old art page will start it's action.
And now, I will go to sleep.

20.5.2002

*sheepish smile*....ummm...hi, everybody. I’m, you know, kinda, back in business. Well, actually not quite yet. Soon. I still have some things to be done to finally get the biiig update rollin’. But before you think that I’m thoroughoutly eeevil and nasty and everything inbetween I will offer you something in this update. A little lair of Stripey Cratures I made. There’s and access to that place in my gallery –page. The stripey –lair is actually fully finished (unlike this damn website…grrr…) Only thing that still needs some work to be done is the store where you can buy stripey –stuff (need to get more products and something like that). There’s also few new pictures.
Actually there’s this stupid happening that keeps me from updateing right now: my own computer went nuts three weeks ago. I wouldn’t let me to go to the internet and now it just accuses me of putting some files to a folder that doesn’t excist…*goes to beat up the ‘puter*. And of course that computer is the one where I just got aaaaaall my pics (not so few of them, btw) transferred from this computer and now to get the ‘puter to work I obviously need to save aaaaallll the damn pics from that 'puter to a disc and upload the darn windows again and...gaaah!...I’m going crazy with that idiotic computer and-...ok, ‘nough with that. I try to update soon.
But now something that anybody hardly is interested about: what’s been happening in my life for these past months till now:
-my school ended in march. I’m free...
-I’ve been trying to find a job. Nuthin’. (nobody wants to employ me. Cannot cope. Stupid people. Don’t know what they’ll miss. *Sigh*)...well, I’ve been doing some small jobs, but I want something for the summer...
- I didn’t get to the art –school I wanted to go (Oh, yes, TAIK! You can kiss my –...umm...aaanyway...)
- I’ve been really busy all the time for the last few months and I actually don’t even know why. It’s been hectic...hmmm...
- I went to the Star Wars premiere (16.5 at midnight) and I still have mixed emotions about the film
- I’ve been updateing my 'Mini-shrine for LotR' for almost weekly (yup, I’ve been neglecting my original art site updates for fan art site updates...I feel strange...and apologetic somehow...)
- Three weeks ‘till my birthday. Meh.
- I’m listening to Travis right now (yay for singing Scottish men!)
- I want to write stories and poems, but somehow I just can’t get myself to start them…
- I obviously am entertaining nobody with this stuff
- I will stop now.
- really.
…so, we’ll meet again in the next update...eh?. . . . . .It’s a date then.

3.4.2002

....hello...do you remember me? I'm the one who used to update this page, but that must've been something like few aeons ago. Well, I came to inform you that I am, in fact, alive and kicking and loaded with new pictures. Yay for that. Although I won't be uploading any right now. Too bad. But you will be getting a bran new shiny marvellous -update very soon. Just wait. A little while. I'll also update my elfwood galleries, yes I will. And my link-page looks looks awful. I need to make it look better (like..umm...for excample add more links...). I also like to inform you that I've been a jerk and not checked my e-mail for past few weeks. Actually I peered in the inbox the first time just three of days ago. Thank you everybody who's send me mail!! I apprecieate every one of them!! And I will answer to you!! (Uh...I have lots of mail to answer.) And thank you, Aido, for mentioning me on your homepage!:)
So, sorry for being slow. Bah. But just wait, be patient, think of the upcoming great-big-happy update and stare this little Simmoney here being all tiny and small. I'll be back soon. I promise.


9.3.2002

Quick note: The mini-shrine for Lord of the Rings (ugh..that sure is a long name to write) has a new address (took too much space from this tbns -site) So, now it will be hosted by Geocities (well, until I find some better place to put it). Yup. Here's a link to the new address (new pics there, btw...krhmm *winkwinknudgenudge*) The url is now a little longer and little more difficult, but hope you can manage. Yay. and now I'm going again (hurry,hurry,hurry...aaagh...)

8.3.2002

Today the barrier of 1000visitors was broken. Wooo! Hence the new frontpage -image. *throws confetti* and new pics coming soon...*swoon*

24.2.2002

Yargl!! *bounces off the walls and beats the hotmail with little pointy sticks* Shtoopid, h-mail. Garg! Sorry, no mails for anybody. Ugh, maybe I shouldn't kick the hotmail, but my computer and internet or something. Argh! Me no like! *whacks everything with the sticks* Blaah! Me also very tired. Gah! *pauses for a moment* But hey, you get a stripey creature in the original gallery for this. Nyeh. And the Lotr-shrine has gone thru update -wave, too. *starts to poke everything with sticks again*....

20.2.2002

O-kei...the update kinda...delayed a whew days. Got some internet -problemos. Baad inthernetto...baad...usch... But, anyway: the valentine -pic is now in the gallery -page. Sorry, nothing else, 'cause I'm at the wrong computer now. (-->I got internet to my own computer here, but this machine doesn't have a scanner. That will be fixed soon, though...)
Happy things: Elfwood lets us update again. I allready updated the Fanquarter gallery and I'll soon update the other two (have to choose the best pics...hmm...)
And now...I will depart...*swoon*...
(oh,and quick note to everybody who has e-mailed me after the 4th of february: I'm truly sorry I haven't aswered any of your mails, but there has been all kinds of hurry and hassle and kickin' the hotmail and jumping around.So, I will answer all my mail in the time period of tomorrow-sunday. Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry. )

14.2.2002 (can you feel the luuuuuuuuhv??!!)

Hullo! Just here to say: Happy Valentine's day (Ok, it's 1:16 am. so it sure is valentine's day) So, be nice to eachother and send cards...or something...and hug people...[heartsheartshappythoughtshearts].
Yup, I have my obligatory valentine's day -picture ready, but noe I'm tired and I'll leave for a cruise (to Sweden and back) tomorr..err...today, so you get to see the pic this saturday when I get back (or sunday....dunno). As a hint of what the pic is like, all I can say is: 'Oh, why can't I just do normal valentine's day pictures!!!???'
So, play nice and go to listen Bare Naked Ladies' 'One week' . -Neat/totally weird song that is good listening material at one am in the morning.
Cheers!! *throws some candy corn to everybody and leaves*

9.2.2002

Thank you. :)

4.2.2002

Well, hello, everybody. *waves* Did you miss me? Didja? *crickets chirp* Oh, never mind.
Soooooo, the gallery is now updated. 4 new pics. Yay for that. And the 'mini -shrine for LotR' is also updated (well, few days ago). And btw: I don't think that I have time to put notices here (on this update page) about updates in the mini-shrine, so if you wan't to know updates over there, then you just have to...umm...go over there, to the 'misc' page and read the ramble over there (how many times is it appropriate to say 'there' in one sentence?...).:)
So, yes, I have returned to draw mah original art again (you know, besides the 'you-know-that-book/movie-thingie-with-something-to-do-with-a-certain-peace-of-jewellery' -art). I wasn't going to just yet, but then Morris and Javineo appeared on the paper, like this, so I continued with my normal drawing rythm. (eh...well, that's not quite how the story went, but, eh, it sounds better...)
Ok, and then. Thank you you wonderful people who have signed my guestbook. Thankyouthankyouthankyou. And other people: pleeease...*big puppy eyes* Write something. I hate to beg, but...just a little itsy-bitsy hello? I wan't to make this page a better place for everybody (*dramatic music in the background* ah, yes, and I want a world peace and...*sniff*)..anyway...I would reeeeeally appreciate it if you'd give me some feedback. (Oh, btw, I should probably come up with some good questions to the guestbook, too...)
Aaaand then...hmm...what was I going to write...hmm...probably nothing important....so....that was probably it for this time. I'll be back with more of something soon. Just keep checking that mini-shrine for more pics, 'cause there's going to be another update soon. Now I have to go and finally read my mail (haven't been able to in many days...whee...mail...(if there is any)...uuu...plot thickens...*leaves to answer to the call of the e-mail*
-I'm off. Toodle-pip!-

20.1.2002

Hahaa! Is this an update I see, oh yeeessssss...it's an update...
Well, anyway. I put two new pics in the original gallery and then, beacuse I had noooothing better to do, I created a mini -shrine to The Lord Of The Rings . Woohoo!! It actually works! There's a gallery (with 4 new pics), a link page (with actual working links) and a misc -page (which actually...umm...doesn't have anything...) Hehee...now I can place all my LotR rambles there (maybe I'll use the Misc-page for that) and put some real update -stuff here, on the update -page. Yay.
Sooo, what else. Well, the day has been quite good...had nothing to do...you know. Pretty lame but not a bad day...except the fact that not a single television -channel in Finland (not even the cable -ones) shows Golden Globe -awards!!!! Grrrr....angry...mrr...*gnaws the edge of the computer -table* Grrr again. Well, I guess that is the usual drill: after a few weeks to a month some channel is 'kind' enough to show us an hours 'summary' of the show with all the good stuff cut away. And that show is, of couse, aired at midnigt or something like that. And the show won't be anything new, because tomorrow in the news and in the papers they will tell you all the important wins and loses. Nyeh. Oh, and while I'm at it, I might add that the award -ceremonies are not all the things the evil channels wont show. (so lets get back to Lotr:) For example everywhere else everybody gets to see these hour long 'makeing of Lord of the Rings' -programmes and talk shows and interviews. But. What do we get: so far we have seen a fifteen minute wannabe-making-of-hahaa-we-won't-show-you-anything-loosers-! -programme. Well, there were interviews, but they lasted about ten seconds each...
*jumps up and down in fury*
Ooook-eee, I'm fine now...just get mad about things like that...*tries not to think about Oscar -gala*..< mantra > Think happy tought, think happy toughts, I bet even one of these channels show the ceremony, the have to, think happy toughts... < /mantra >
Hmm...maybe I'll go to sleep now...yeessss...sssleeep goood...my preciousssss....*gets slaped upside her head*...ääygh...krhmm...sorry...*goes to sleep*

17.1.2002

Well, hello. *smirk* I just came here to tell ya, that I'm still alive and kicking and going to update soon. Weekend perhaps...hmm...sounds good...*nods* mm-hmm...
I have lots of new pictures, unfortunately (<--you decide about that) most of the pics are circling around one topic: Lord of the Rings (*fake gasp* oh, really...how about that...my, oh, my...) Heh. But I have other stuff too...umm...really, I do. But since I'm feeling like this, I wouldn't count on having lots of those other pics uploaded here. Well, maybe a few...*goes to search for her non-LotR-pics*. Oh, and since I'm again rambling about you-know-what-book-turned-to-movie-thingie (heh, don't you just hate the fact that this is all I talk about...)I now declare that today is the day that I have spent 12 hours of watching LotR. (Yes, I'm a freak...but a happy one *scary-mad-insane grin*)
But now: off we goooooo.......toodle-pip! *hops away to new adventures*

6.1.2002

Ok, everyone who is now utterly bored of all this 'Lord of the Rings' -hysteria, hype...thing, can now leave. Others:
It's Time For The Great Hobbit Update!Over here!
Weeell, it's just four pics for now, but I have a bunch of unscanned ones, that'll get uploaded soon. Krhhmm...now some background to this update: Last night I got this sudden urge to draw a bunch of hobbits (umm...dunno where that came from...) So now I have lots and lots and lots of little halflings all over my papers. Nyeh. Well, it was fun.:)
But now I have to make a confess: these pictures were mostly inspired by the movie and the characters look (or are supposed to look) like they did in there *crawls under a rock*. Meep.
Oh...And now a little warning: I have seen the movie three times and am now reading the book (finally I got it for my own...no more visits to the libraray, yay!) so all my enthusiasm towards LotR can be seen here, at my homepage for a while in a form of pics and general ramble...(but there are other pics coming soon, too...I promise...don't go away...please...)
And now I'm off to draw and scan some hobbitts...
(Mhehehee...just had to put this here...in two languages:)

One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them.

Yksi sormus löytää heidät, Yksi heitä hallitsee,
Yksi heidät yöhön syöksee, Ja pimeyteen kahlitsee.

(In the finnish version of the books this is translated a little diffrerently from the original...but maybe just to get it rhyme...)

3.1.2002

Ok...I didn't update yesterday. But that wasn't my fault. I was...umm...abducted by aliens?...no...hmm...discovering a new species of newts in Madagascar?..no...umm...buzy at throwing the computer out of the window 'cause it had insulted me?...no *pats the 'puter*. Ok. Fine! I was reading 'Lord of the Rings', listening to 'Moulin Rouge's soundtrack and playing Playstation II. Happy now? Huh?
Well, *krhmm* so I updated today. 5 new pictures in the original gallery. I have more pics ready, but I haven't scanned them yet.
Ooo-kee, now we can start rambling:
So, christmas was good. Got really nice presents (as I stated abow in the 'what did I do yesterday' -list). It was a nice christmas. Then, the year changed. Great. Nothing wrong with that. Welcome 2002. The only confusing thing with the new year is that we now have a new currency, Euro. Hmm..good buy mark, hello euro. I got my first coins of that money today as I was buying a movie ticket. It's quite confusing, cause I haven't adjusted to that money yet (well, d'uh, it's been here three days...) But I hate all that counting ( 1 euro = about 6 marks). Ok, it's easy, just multiply with 6 if you want to now a price in marks, but still, nyeh! Yep, I try to be positive with this money: it's great that you don't have to change money when you travel around Europe and blah blah blah...But I still have some issues with the currency: first of all I hate the name. And second of all I don't like how the bills look like. They are all a different size, they have these stupid imaginary bridges and buildings on them and one of the bills is pink, belch say I. Well, actually those thing I don't like are just minor details. They will stop bothering me soon (I hope,mrr...)
Yup,yup...hmm..what else to babble about. Oh, yes; I'm going to see 'Lord of the Rings' for the third time next saturday (well, I wathed it with my friend again to see all the thing we didn't see the first time and now I asked my sister to the movies and she hadn't seen the film, so I thought 'Why not', there's nothing better in the theaters that I haven't seen already and this movies wasn't bad...and I don't mind the three hours...it flies by really fast...wooosh...)
Oh, and off the topic: I got my very own computer. Now I can move all my files there. Neat (umm..it really is much neater than it sounds). Althought it doesn't have internet connection. Nyeh. Well, maybe that can be arranged some day...
Ok, maybe I'll stop babbling now. But before I end writing I have to add (again) a test result I got on one of these infamous net-test. Lookie:

You're the epitome of insane. Either you're very smart, or you're too damn stupid. The world is your playground, and everything -- and everyone -- in it is a toy for you to play with. People should be scared of you, but because you're so affable, they aren't. Tough for them.

Frodo Baggins If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Frodo, Hobbit, heir of Bilbo and humble keeper of the One Ring. In the movie, I am played by Elijah Wood. Who would you be? Zovakware Lord of the Rings Character Test

I'm Frodo...whee!! Now I only need pointy ears..I'm already short (well, actually not that short...but still...)

But, I think I'll end my ramble here and wish you all Merry Christmas!! May you have a good one. :)
...fin.

19.12.2001

Wooooo....I was in the Lord of the Rings premiere today (minute past midnight that is..I was home at 4 a.m. *sleepy*)...it was...wow...really really really something...amazing!! I have to see it again soon. I must! I can´t wait for a year to see more.
Ugh...got to go to clean my room now, but I´ll write more soon...and update the gallery...

11.12.2001

Muahahaa!...krhmm...yup: I have a cafepress -store. Click. Hmm...I just decited to try it. Maybe someone will buy something, maybe not. Hope somebody does...
And if you have a wish of any of my pictures you would like to have on a shirt (/tote bag/mug,etc.), just tell me, 'cause I´ll change those pics on those shirts (etc.) from time to time. (sorree my bad english today...I´m just hyper right now..can´t write..agh..)
Yup. Now would be a nice time for a sketch. It´s Morris, Javineo and Briony (mah characters) if they would have been at the same gym -class as kids. (Morris would probably have been in a fight with other kids during a peaceful practice game of for example basketball, Javi would just have been horrified about that and Briony would have been looking at Ava -who I was going to draw sitting next to him...but didn´t...-)
Nyeh. must go now *hopps away*

7.12.2001

Oukei: 9 new pics in the Original. And that´s all this time. And I really have to start working on the old art, 'Doggie toast' and 'The Nameless' -pages. They look stupid with their unfinished-ness (ummm..its´really late...don´t know words and...blaah...)
Now I go to do something...else...

5.12.2001

Hmm...I had really boring filosofy -leasson today at school, so I wrote a new poem (+ drew a picture for it). Yay. I´ll try to update this week. Umm...that´s it. Bye.

3.12.2001

*dances around* I have tickets for the Lord of the Rings -premiere!! I..have..tiiiickeeets....*dance dance dance* And very very much thanks to my sister who got those tickets for me while I was at scool! Yay! The premiere is on december 19th (like in the rest of the world) at 00.01 a.m. (it´s gonna be a long night I get home maybe around 3 or 4...sheesh...but it´ll be fun.!)
umm...picture updates on thursday or friday....

2.12.2001

Soo...no new pics (maybe later this week,ok?), but I added a new section to the gallery page: Poems. Well...there´s only two now, but I´ll just have to find the rest of them. I always write them on sheets of papers or something like that and then loose them right after...
Mrr...the Lord Of The Rings -tickets come to sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. and I couldn´t go to queue. Mrrr...weel, I have reasons: 1)It´s freezing out there. Snow and all. And I heard that the first ones came yeasterday. Brr...there´s atleast -10 celcius out there. 2)I had to write history essays. OH, JOY! That´s all I ever wanted to do for a weekend. But I´m very very angry that I may not get to the premiere. *snarl* I remember when I was queuing for Star Wars ep 1. We had so much fun. (Well, it was summer...and warm) I was the 40th in the line and sat there for 28 hours, Yay, go me. Aww...it was neat-o...
Hmm...I don´t like these essays. I allready wrote two last week and now I have to write the other two. Right now I´m writing about "The threads and possibilities of mass media" (umm..that´s a straight translation...I dunno how it really should be in english) But...after I finish these essays I don´t have to write any of them in a long time. Whopee! AND we get a two day vacation next week since it´s our intependence day on thursday (december 6th). And we get the friday off, too. Yay for that!!
Teehee...I just framed my beautiful new 'nightmare before christmas' -poster. It´s prettyyy: lot´s of pumpkins, that swirly hill and Jack singing...now I only have to find a good place in my room to hang it to...hmm...but now, I go to sleep...it´s one in the morning...sleeeep...

28.11.2001

Okee-dokee. So I had nothing to draw few days ago and surfed my way throuh Elfwood´s fanquarter -galleries. I realized that there´s loads and loads (and loads and lo...) of Harry Potter art. So, since I had nothing else to do (and my brain was at zero-state), I doodled few pics of that gategory: two papers full of Draco Malfoy sketches (he´s the little evil kid from those books). Nyeh. So go to the fanart -gallery.
Along with those pics I also added there my fan pic drawn to the talented Dylan Meconis. It´s her character Zanya (a vampire. Yay!)
Oh, click --here-- to go look at these new updates.

25.11.2001

Yay. Just came by to tell that I added one more link. Lovelee art. Yay again. I will update pictures soon. Huzzah. Now I go read for my english exam for tomorrow...mmmMMmm...enviroment vocabulary...*snarl*...

(later same evening:)
Ok. So, who needs to study. Here: I uploaded two new pics ( here ) and did something new to my main page (a new swerve -logo-thingy). Yay. Now I will go and read...for real...

20.11.2001

O-kee, so, I have a little preview for you. A little preview of art that is (yes, I have nothing finished or neat to show you so I just show you unfinished sketches. Ok? Yees.)
I started a new 7-day-fairy series (one fairy drawn every day of the week) This time the fairy´s are noseless. Yay. Fun!
Here´s the first drawn last thursday.
Hmm..Then: I have a lot of fanart in a sketch stage. For excample my favourite character from Neil Gaiman´s Sandman -comics:
Delirium Huzzah!!
I have more fan art coming (of some of my favourite webcomics), but they are not skanned yet.
Then: something really not finished:
horribly sketchy Ava
A dragon. Or it´s head atleast.
A sweet potato...don´t ask...
And then: I just had read a quite a bunch of Jen´s brilliant comic Strings of Fate and I decited to draw something of my own after that. Eh...but my head was blank and I was very tired back then and I decited to draw one of my characters I like the most: Marcus the vampire:
Marcus ´n Me...ehehee...
And last but not leats: the only finished pic in this update: The starring dogi in the Doggie Toast:
Damon. yay.
Yep. And that´s the end of our tour. Ohohohoh...I took two net test yesterday. I haven´t done those in ages. Heehee. Here:

What Breed of Dog Are You?
No bones about it, you're an energetic, devoted Chihuahua. For your breed, size definitely doesn't matter. After all, sometimes the best things (diamonds, car keys, Godiva truffles) come in small packages. Honest and straightforward, you're never afraid to speak up for what you believe in, especially if it's a cause near and dear to your heart. Having such a passionate personality can come with a few drawbacks, though. You can be moody at times, and people often find it hard to live up to your high standards. But once you make a friend, it's for life. Saucy and intense, your energy and unfailing loyalty make you a great companion. Woof!
(you can find this test at Emode.)

and another test:

Take the Affliction Test Today!

[Congratulations, you're rabies! Transmitted by rabid animals, you're most commonly found infecting creatures such as raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. But don't worry, you affect humans too, causing either paralysis or hyperactivity in your advanced stages, and ultimately death. Your most famous symptom is hypersalviation - that delightful foaming at the mouth that we have come to know and indeed love. However, you can also cause hallucination; think of the fun you could have at parties!]

Neat, huh? --heehee--- Over and out. Bye.

19.11.2001

Ok, so...I have updated alot last weekend (just haven´t got myself to write anything about it...): One new picture in the OriginalGallery. Yay. Well, you get more soon. I also revamped the gallery -mainpage, so that it doesn´t look as awful as it did earlier (it has pretty pictures now...heehee) AND I also put up a new pet project: Doggie toast (don´t ask about the name...no. Don´t! Nooooo!!!)...umm...yes. It has something to do about my doggie characters...maybe comics or story or something...well, something anyway.
And then: how dum am I??! I just figuerd out that I can use Front Page -programme to do my homepage. I don´t actually have to write the html -text (like before..yes, all you see in my page is my own scribble...bad html-text...). The FrontPage has been on our computer all the time and I didn´t even think about using it.. Nyeh. Well, the doggie toast pages are now frontpaged and maybe I´ll revamp the whole site now...if I have time...
Oh, and I just came from the preview of Harry Potter (the film comes here on friday 23rd). Weeeell, I have to say I tried not to expect too much from it (I´ve heard a lot of good and a lot of bad thing about it), but I was pleasantly surprised.:D Well, they had taken some stuff out of it (well, they had to...it would have been a reeeeelly long movie if they hadn´t...), but I was quite pleased of the result. Yay. Me happy. There were some weird CGI -thingies, but they didn´t bother me too much (I just tried to look at the whole picture, not just the CGI). Hmmm...so, it was overall a good-mood-movie...but something bothered me about it...and I just don´t know what. I wonder how the movie looks if you haven´t read the book, because the story was kinda stirpped: only the most inmportant stuff was in the movie (again, it would have been an extremely long movie if they hadn´t shoretened it...). Heehee...quidditch looked great...but rtill something was missing...nyeh. I dunno. Well, the movie had me in a good mood. Yay.
The situation in the theater was weird: they had three theaters to use: one with 704 seats (the biggest theater in Finland) and two theaters with 100 seats. We were in the biggest. Suddenly just before the movie started we saw that there were still people outside the theater and then they came to announce that if all the people who had small children would take the children to sit on their lap. Then they chearched for any empty seat they could find and finally they put the rest of people to sit on the staircase on the side.:P They had really overbooked the place. This was the first time it happened.

12.11.2001

Yay! All my links should (note: should ) now work. Double yay!! Hmm...so there´s 15 banners ->for 10 different people and the rest 5 banners for these really wonderfully addictive webcomics (I love all of them...yes, I´m a slave for webcomics...but they are so good ...) So go read them. Now! Shoo!!
...andIAlsoUpdatedMyOriginalGallery Page.OneNewPic...

11.11.2001

Ok...big news: I opened my link page. Wheee!!...but(there´s always a 'but')...only three (bannered) links work for now (but the three that work will take you to wonderful sites with wonnnnderrrful art...so go). Yep. And in the linkpage you can also find a few (hmm...make that quite alot) banners that you can use if you want to link to me.^__~ Heehee. Oh, and I also put up two new pics to the original gallery. Yay.
Ok...(yeh,lets ramble about...weather:)So, the weather here has been really disturbing the last week. First on wednesday when I got out of the scool it started to snow. Just like out of the blue there was a real blizzard going on. Nyeh...well, that didn´t last long, only few hours and then it looked like nothing had happened at all. Yep. Neat-o. Well...on thursday night it started to snow again. Just a little bit, but when I woke up on friday and looked out of the window there was about 10 cm´s of snow ! Gah! It was winter out there and freezing cold. Brrr. I had to fight my way to scool without getting my shoes too wet from the snow. Hmm...I don´t have anything against snow or winter...they´re neat, but the only thing I hate is the coldness...I hate being cold all the time (and our scool isn´t much warmer place eather...I´m freezing there also) Oh, but the story goes on: so, the snow had stayed for two days, but this morning when I got up and looked outside there was no snow. Nothing that could´ve proven that there was winter few days ago. Nyeh. So, now were back in autumn again...I guess. And wait for next snowblizzard to come.
(Wasn´t that educational or what!)

01.11.2001

Whew! I just did a major update -operation. Oh, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! (Ok, a little late one, but still) Uuuu...I love halloween (my favourite after christmas)...and just to celebrate it, I updated A LOT of pics: 17 (!!) new ones in original galleryand one new in fan art gallery.
And now, back to halloween: I did a cool costume for myself (a cat...well, kinda like a cartoon cat or something..heehee) and I´m actually going to a halloween party tomorrow...*grin* Too bad we don´t have the 'trick or treet' -tradition where I live, but every year more and more people are getting into this halloween -thing. Yay. Well, I have celebrated halloween as long as I can remember and this was actually the first year in about 6-7 years that I´m not hosting a halloween -party. Well, maybe next year again...

26.10.2001

So...earlier this month my webpage host tbns decited to revamp their page manager thingy, but everything didn´t go quite so well: I was uploading my page at the 14th day and had just wrote a long text to this update-ramble and then I clicked the 'save' button. It was a mistake, ´cause everything on this update-page got deleted. All the html-codes and everything. And the nicest thing was that I didn´t have any updated backups or anything saved of this html. Well, after really yelling and screaming to tbns (in my mind and in a few messages to them) I rememberd that I had saved some of the html to my unused tripod -account (a long time ago...it didn´t have much). And gladly I had saved the few latest updates and some drafts from some of the old ones and they sill be here soon...[but at the same time I´m trying save my update-page I hear a question in my head: "But does anyone even read these updates?"])
So,now I also created an 'old updates' -page (the link over there isn´t working yet) where, surprise surprise, all the old updates go (in case of another sudden deletion). So in this update page you´ll find only the few latest. And now...I must go and scan some pics over here. Yay.

14.10.-26.10.2001

*the time of a great deletion and a lot of frustrated moments trying to upload a new 'uploaded' -page [or anything to my homepage]...unsuccessfully*

14.10.2001

So, I updated the original gallery. few days ago, Yay. And now to the ramble -part:
I haven´t drawn anything decent in a long time. Everything I draw has turned out to be something weird, silly or just plain stuuupid. For excample just the other day I was drawing a self-pic, but I hadn´t drawn much when everything went horribly wrong and all I wanted to do was to finish the pic, no matter what and the I went out of my mind and after a few minutes I had thison my paper. (No, I don´t have a brother...but I have that shirt)
*And now something very different*...so, now there have been 158 visitors at my homepage, but...well, probably 1/3 of the visitors have been me, ´cause I just have to check my guestbook all the time . Oh, and by the way, if you write to my guestbook, you don´t have to write a 'private' message (just wanted to tell you because all the 4 messages in my GBook have been private and I just want to encourage you to leave a public messages too, but of course if you want to leave a private message it´s ok too and blah blah yadda yadda ramble ramble...)...*shuts up for a moment*...ookee...so-here´s-a-sketch-fer-ya --> Lookie!. It will be finished real soon (hope so). I coloured it with photoshop a little. Nyeh.
(Note to self: finish up the link -page) Yup. I have the page allmost ready. I have some really cool links...yee!!!

10.10.2001

Uploaded some pics to original art. But now I´m buzy. I´ll write the longer 'update' -text soon. (Maybe tomorrow.)
