Hello, it has been a long time. Last journal was SIX months ago so it's time to write a new one.

To begin with, it has been very unproductive year for me. The reason is, that my arm is still aching and has not healed and got better at all. It's the same problem I've had for more than a one year which is too much. I simply can't make it better. It's driving me crazy. I can't play, I can't draw, I can't write... I'm not able to do anything properly because of this constant pain! Doctors just say that 'Yeah, only real cure for that is rest.' Oh, yeah. It's just impossible. I almost do everything with my right hand. Daily stuff like cooking and cleaning, writing notes at lectures etc. I also need computer for studies so it's hard to avoid using mouse which is the main reason for this horrible problem in my wrist/arm that has been going on for months now. Of course I've been doing something that I should not do, like playing video games and drawing. But it's just pure madness to just sit and do nothing when I have spare time! I can't live without games and drawing. These two things are close to my heart :< Now the arm is constantly aching and it drives me crazy. I'm unable to concentrate and I'm easily irritated. I hope that next year I don't have this problem anymore and I can finally concentrate on doing my comics and other projects.

Other thing. Lately I've been very excited about cosplaying. It would be awesome to play as another person for a one day and wear a cool costume. I have at least 3 different characters to cosplay, two of them aren't any particular. They're just one unit in a race and they don't have any personal names. These are from Warhammer 40k game franchise.
The third one is Kriem from Tiger & Bunny anime. [link] For some odd reason I want to cosplay her. She has very nice hat and eyeglasses too. I don't have to use glasses, but I've always wanted to wear them for some reason. Maybe they fit for me.
Tiger & Bunny is rather new series. I recommend everyone to watch it. It's just awesome and the characters are so good too! I already have seen every episodes of the season 1 but I have started to watch it again from the beginning. I especially love Kotetsu <3 He's my favorite anime character ever. I just somehow fell in love with him. Maybe it's his personality or his looks or both but I really like him! Even though I like that character I won't 'crossplay' him because I think my body and facial structure doesn't look similar enough. He's very tall and slim and his skin is a little bit more brownish than mine. But I really want to buy his hat! It's just epic. Really epic.

Some other news. I recently turned 20 years old. Twenty is a nice even number but I don't feel myself older at all. In Finland when you turn 20 it means you can legally buy stronger alcohol drinks at the store. But I have not bought anything yet :'D I'm not so much into drinking strong alcohol and they're very expensive.

I also have started studying Japanese and I enjoy learning it! I love the language and I think it's quite easy to learn. Grammar is not so bad and some words are easy to remember. Of course the hardest part is the learn hundreds of different kanjis but I don't have to learn them yet. It's just later in Spring. Now we have learned the basic Japanese alphabet, hiraganas and katakanas. I have Japanese exam later this month but I'm not nervous at all because I think it will go just fine because I'm quite good at this language :3

I'm feeling very disappointed at the moment. There's no snow at all here in Finland! It should have been ages ago but that little snow that falls onto ground melts immediately and then the water freezes and turns very slippery and dangerous. Winter is my favorite season and I just love it, but if there's no snow at all it's not the same. I start to feel very happy whenever it starts to snow and when I see little snowflakes swiftly whirling in the air. It's just so fun to watch. ^^ I really hope we'll have a white christmas here.

Lastly, I'm still reading the same book that I was reading in June.. Guess I'm very slow at reading.

I'm too lazy to write anything in Finnish. Sorry guys, cope with this.
