Hello!

Sorry for the lack of art, journals, communication etc etc. Hopefully after next weekend I'm going to be able to get back to being more active, since Desucon is held then at Lahti, Finland. And oh boy, it's going to be a very different con for me. Well, Friday and Sunday aren't going to be that different, but Saturday is going to be one heck of a day.

First, I'll be at the artist's alley for the first time ever selling my own art and stuff. It's really exciting, and hopefully people like what they see at my table. It would be awesome if you'd come to say hi to me there! But I'm only going to be sitting behind the table for a couple of hours in the morning since at approximately 13:30 I should be backstage. So come see me before that, okay? :)

So, why I'm going backstage? Not to attend a competition this time. Well, the heading of this journal already spoiled it, but I'm going to be a judge for a competition. Yeah, a rather huge responsibility it is. I'm really nervous over this but at the same time excited. So if you want to see me being nervous on the stage, come to check out the hall cosplay competition there ~

But yeah, the judging takes almost the whole day and I'll get to be only half an hour at artist's alley after it. So as I said, come to see me before it ;)

But yeah, I've been busy for a while now thanks mostly to artist's alley stuff and cosplay. Hopefully things change after the con.

Anyways, see ya all at Desucon!

Holy crap, I'm going to be moving from home next summer..!

Yesterday it was confirmed that our offer for one tiny apartment was accepted and in a week the deal is going to be officially made. Then my parents own the house, but I'm the one who's going to be moving there. I'll then pay my parents the "rent" for living there. I'm actually hyper excited over this! Finally I can try to live on my own, without nobody watching over my shoulder everything I do. Yes, it's pretty scary thought too, but at the same time I need some change. At home it really drives me nuts at times when everything one does needs to cause a huge ruckus - since nothing actually happens at our home every little thing standing out of "the ordinary" causes a huge mess. And this makes me want to do nothing that stands out. It's really distressing...

But this also makes me in need of money. And the job situation I'm in currently isn't helping at all. Right now I'm working with my non-military service, and I'm not getting any richer as it goes on. It's only a huge waste of time. I've tried to find someplace to work at during weekends and summer but despite my dozens of applications I haven't had any luck with it. Since I never went to work at younger age it's almost impossible for me to find work now... And this makes me feel depressed. I'm in need of money but there's no way to get it. What am I going to do?

I already decided that I'm going to cancel going to Mimicon - a little con in Mikkeli. I already had a hotel room booked there so hopefully it's possible to cancel it too with getting my money back... And cosplay... I really think that after my next costume which I'm going to make for Tracon I'm going to have to take a break. I just can't afford it. I'll maybe try to work on my Eurocosplay costume for next year but I think that's about it. I'm going to attend Desucon but there my main reason for going is the artist alley - I'm going to be selling there! It's really exciting and new experience for me! Hopefully everything goes well. At least I've had a huge inspiration to do stuff there during the last week ~

That's about everything that's going on around my life lately. Thanks for reading everyone! <3

Elikkäs vikan lomapäivän kunniaksi ajattelin yrittää streamata jotain ensimmäistä kertaa. Katsotaan miten pahasti täytyy säätää, ennen kuin pääsen edes pelaamaan.

Tervetuloa seuraamaan!

Streami on ohi, kiitos katsojille! :)

Happy Valentine's day ya' all! Hope your doing fine – I certainly am. And this weekend will make things even more better: it's time for Desucon Frostbite.

I'll be cosplaying as Keigo Kurusu from Mirai Nikki, and I'll be attending a cosplay group for the first time. I'm looking forward to it, since it's something totally new to me. I feel a little nervous how I'm going to fit with a group of people I know almost nothing of, but at the same time it intrigues me.

So, Frostbite's almost here, but that doesn't mean other cons won't be coming anytime soon. Actually, the weekend after this one I'll be going to Kitacon. It's the most northern place I've ever been then! It's also nice to visit tinier cons. I was originally going to participate in a cosplay competition there but it would've been too much a hurry to finish my costume so I decided not to. Actually, this is first con in a long time I'm not going to cosplay anything. Nice change of pace I guess ~

But since I'm not competing in Kitacon, I decided to participate in competition elsewhere. That's when I found out about Tampere Kuplii. It's going to be held next month at Tampere (what a surprise…) and there I'm going to cosplay as a sheep from a game called Catherine. I really like Tampere and Tracon has always been my favourite con, so I'm looking forward to this one.

So, lots of cosplay going on in next months for me. Feel free to say hi if you spot me ~

Thanks for reading, have a great Valentine's day!

Merry Christmas everyone! We survived the apocalypse (but my Xbox 360 didn't - it broke exactly on that day :( ) and now it's time to celebrate Christmas.

What this means to me is relaxing with my family and friends. Tomorrow my cousins and grandma are coming to visit us for two days – this probably means I'm going to play too much card games with my grandma. On 25th my other siblings are coming here to eat with us. On 26th my cousins are going to leave, but Ruija comes to replace them. She's going to be here 'till 31st or 1st day, I'm not certain how long, but the only thing that matters is that we're gonna have a blast. I also wish I could see some of my other friends on my holiday ~

So yeah, this is the first real holiday on my non-military service – and oh boy I was in need of this. It lasts to 7th day of January which is pretty good but of course longer would've been better. Still, I'm going to take advantage of all of it.

Also, I've made a decision regarding my comics. I'm going to abandon my comic. Yeah, you heard it right. BUT, this doesn't mean that I'm abandoning my characters or even the story I've made up for my comic. The thing is, Steam had this wonderful program called RPG Maker for sale couple of days ago, and I bought it. It's really versatile program and you can really modify how you're making RPGs with it. I've decided to make a game with it with the story that my comic was going to depict. I made this decision because the comic was progressing extremely slowly, and by doing this I hope things get done a little bit faster. And since my dream is to become a game coder, this works out for me. The program is still pretty weird to me, so it takes time for me to get started, but I'm trying my best. I may do the comic after I've made the game, but we'll see about that.

So, Merry Christmas to you all, hope you have a nice holiday!
