First of all, I actually managed to keep the promise that none of you remember.

In my journal "The last of '08" I promised to make more deviations than in 2008. That year I only managed a miserable amount of 6. In '09 I submitted 17 deviations how's that

Ohh but it's the quality that counts, right...I hope that's improving, too. I feel like I went backwards during my Major Art Block (which one?)

Well anyway. Additionally (I love the word, I end up putting it in many of my English compositions at school...) I almost-beat, at least equalled myself at the end of this year, favourite-wise.

You know, for the longest of time my most favourited pic was Raven Lady (if you don't remember her, you might as well go see her now --> [link] )

But today I noticed that one of my new works, Grasp the Wind, had the same amount of favourites. Wow. Well...kinda about time

Umm... sorry for this randomness. I just had to let that out. The new year's here, after all.

It's my birthday today you know I turn 17 ohmy.

The first thing in the morning I listened to KOKIA's Happy Birthday to Me. How corny is that.

In a way it's kind of a sad song. It's snowing outside right now. I'm in a great mood. Somehow serene.

I guess the title could explain the way I feel right now...or then not. Anyways.

I submitted some deviations again! I hope I'll get some comments as a birthday present

Oh. I jut typed a random word and added "::" to see if there actually was an emoticon like that (well that's a pretty obvious one...) so there was. Okay.

Well bye for now ^^ Be good.

I just did something interesting. I re-read all of my dA journals. All 13 pages of them. Why are there so much...!?!

Haha, I've been such a kid...And my English has been worse than I recall...making even more stupid mistakes than now.

But the great thing is how accurately I've managed to document my life...I can see all the things I've liked or disliked, my moods changing over the months, the exact dates of many events I've long forgotten...and I also found out that July 1st 2007 I was wearing the same socks I do now. Wow.

Well, something else, too. Did you know that FFXIII was released in Japan the day before yesterday?

Okay, did you know that the US and Europe release date has been comfirmed?

Did you know it's March 9th?

I think that's pretty damn close.

That's all about FF for now. I'm saving this talk for a later day.


As of yesterday, I've been on Christmas Holiday. How's that, huh?

Sorry for not being around much lately. That's mostly because I started to make...investments. Meaning buying (I actually wrote "buing" before stopped to think about it ) old Final Fantasies.

I bought a Nintendo DS as you may know. Played FFXII Revenant Wings (that's 97% complete) and then I found FFIII and IV for DSr reeaaally cheap fro a web shop. But...they didn't have them in the stock after all. Nooo. So...they suggested that I could take FFVI instead. For GameBoy Advance (that works on DS too). I bought that. Then things happened....and I found myself a happy owner of Final Fantasies I, II, III, IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X and XII. Plus Revenant Wings. Dammit.

Only 3, 4 and 6 are new though. I will get V someday, too. And of course I will get XIII once it comes (that might be...in March already?! Hallelujah!) As for XI and XIV, they're online games so I probably...won't get them. Think so. Hope so.

But anyway, I feel like I've...been upgraded as a fan of the series....? Beyond PlayStation, right? In any case, I'm pretty happy now.

The weirdest thing: I haven't even touched III or IV. ( is amazed) I'm so involved in VI it'd be hard for me to start another...I shall pay my attention to them, too, dearly when the time comes. Yes.

.........Are you still there? Wow, I thought everyone left already. This has to be so BORING to read (unless you're an enthusiast like me). Um...so anyways...I guess I'll go back to give that rude Kefka loony cheating bastard a lesson Pardon my French.

So well. The 19th September. Night wish at Hartwall Arena, Helsinki. Magnificent. Splendorous. Disasterrific.

Still can't write anything coherent about the event, it seems.

We had good places again (with only 8 hours of queuing before the opening of the front gates) and the concert was the best thing ever. Since it was the last one of the tour there were extras. Like Meadows of Heaven (never performed live before this) Walking in the Air (this was a surprise for me) and they played both Poet and the Pendulum AND Ghost Love Score. Two superepiclong ones

There were special guests, too. The violinist and the ...ho-hum... piper? The Troy person


Anyhooters. So glad to see the band again. But now it's going to be a long time to wait till the next concert. Sigh. All the way until 2011.

Hmm the next album. What's it going to be like?

What shall this little me expect?

Thank you Nightwish, , and all the nice people we had a chat with at the queue and at the concert hall!

And also that nice, very tall person who kindly let this 159cm brat stand before him
