Hell-mothafuckin-yeaaah

Friday, December 12th 2008 will go down in history as the day that I finally got my driving license! Can I get a woop-wooop? :D :D



I'm still totally flabbergasted. When the exam ended, the examination-person started listing all the stuff I'd done wrong and boy, there were quite a few of those. I was pretty much certain that she was gonna fail me. Again.
She told me that in school I would get a 3- for my driving skills but that she would still let me pass! OMFG.

And next week I'll get my license and I can start driving around all by myself :D :D It's a good thing I already bought a car like a year in advance lolz. I was hoping that I could drive it like in June already :P Too bad school is almost over so I have to wait like 2 months before I can start driving to school every day.

Lunchtime is definitely going to be more enjoyable now. It won't be "so let's go to the supermarket across the street again" but "hey, there's this great new cafe downtown, let's check it out". lawl I still can't believe it. I've failed the test so many times that it feels funny to finally have the frickin license.

I've been racking my brain trying to come up with interesting Christmas wishes. Everyone keeps asking me about it but I really didn't know what to ask for. But today I was sitting in my car (that I can finally drive legally :D) and got the perfect idea.

So my Christmas list look like this:

Dear Santa,

Here's what I want for Christmas:

- Sims K&B Stuff
- Dark Knight DVD
- That thingie that you connect to your car radio so that you can play music from your iPod in the car (except that when I say "your car radio" and "your iPod" I actually mean my car radio and iPod)

Kthx,
Paula

Why hello there.

Nice to meet you. I'm the person who used to post here but then forgot about her blog got really busy for over two moths. :D

Could you imagine that I finished high school? Hallelujah! My exams went rather well, if anyone is interested.
Graduation was... something. I got to listen to two hours of speeches by some bald men. I also got my diploma. My parents also got a diploma - for "raising a good daughter". WTF? Do my parents really need specially honoring because I managed not to have any 3s or 2s on my report card?
God, my school must really be filled with idiots if they give diplomas to the parents...

Yeah... I graduated with a class of mostly idiots. Actually, 4 idiots in my class didn't graduate at all. Well, farewell to them and I hope they enjoy their journey on the failboat.

I've also been checking out colleges. I don't know what I want to study. I've never had some dream career... It would be awesome if I'd known since I was 3 that I wanted to be a fireman or a tractor driver (like my little bro).
The psychologist at our school made us take some career tests and shizz. She said that since I'm "artistic, entrepreneurial (lol, that sounds funny in English), and communicative" the perfect job for me would be... *drumroll* a potter! And I could own my own little pottery so I could be an artistic enteprenuer and also communicate with people. Wow, what an ingenious idea.
Fuck that, I'm not going to be making pots for the rest of my life.

The idea of starting my own company is tempting though. I have many crazy ideas... I have to pick one and perfect it and maybe it would work out well and I could be a billionaire in a few years!
Yeeeaaah. I really keep things realistic, huh?

Anyways, I sent applications to three colleges. I plan on studying business-related stuff.
Um.... that was pretty specific.
gah, i don't know. If college sucks, then I'll just quit after a semester or two and move to Singapore and open a beach bar or something.

Well, education sure is a depressing topic so let's move on.

Musically - this summer's looking to be the best of my whole life. First of all - Franz Ferdinand! They played at Õllesummer, so there were a lot of drunk fat men around but the ticket was super cheap.
Ever since I heard Take Me Out, I've liked FF. I'm still not very familiar with all their songs but I have 8 songs in my music library, which I love!! I hadn't listened to half of them a lot, but the day before the concert I listened to them on repeat for so many hours and I fell soooo in love.... And the show itself was awesome! The guys have so much energy and few times I actually lol-ed because they were so funny and cute jumping around the stage... awww. :D Man, it rawked so hard. I loved it.

But the next day.... wait, there's a longer story to this.

So I was driving to the middle of nowhere with Blonde Mafia and another classmate for our graduation party (which I forgot to write about - it rained a lot, and there was a watermelon involved) and Blonde Mafia saw this advertisement for Knockout Festival in Riga. There were some pretty big names included so we were all interested in going.
But then we kinda forgot about it for a long time. Until a few days before the FF concert that is. So we kinda bought the festival tickets and bus tickets a day before the real thing.

Ears ringing, I woke up after FF and got on the bus to Riga. Dude, that bus was pimpin! It had these huge leather seats like in the business class in airplanes... and there was a stuardess or whatever and she offered us plaids. PLAIDS!!! :D
The trip to Riga went veeery smoothly.

The festival took place on Zakusala island in the middle of Riga. We ran across some highway twice to get to the bridge to the island. We didn't see the tunnel that went under the highway to the bridge. Blonds lol...

The island was like a field filled with hay. And there were three white tents where different DJs played at all times and then there was a pretty big main stage with some shiny lights.
So the place looked crappy but the music was really good. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of house and electro and stuff, I liked listening to it.

The best part of the night was prolly Joey Negro. I only knew one song by him but that didn't matter, because in that small white tent filled with hay and people, everything sounded great. I pretty much danced for 2 hours straight until it was Dennis Ferrer's turn.

Then prolly came the worst part of the night. I started feeling really sick. I think I have a problem with speakers that are too loud, maybe they like make my internal organs fibrillate too much or something XD but I wasn't feeling good at all.

So from about 3AM to 4AM I just sat under some bush, listened to Franz Ferdinand on my iPhone, and tried my hardest not to throw up. It was cold and the music was just too loud... it was depressing, not being able to find some peace and quiet. I couldn't go anywhere without the noise blaring in my ears and people jumping around. I was seriously considering getting the hell out of there and finding a hotel room. But our bus was supposed to leave at 7AM so I decided to hang on.

I'd spent all my latvian lats so I couldn't even buy water and I was dying of thirst. I begged a few people to exchange a few euros for lats but they all refused. But this guy Janis bought me a bonaqua. Awww. I was impressed that he spoke English! All day we'd been asking people for s
directions to Zakusala but not one person understood English. But he did! So he helped me survive the last hour. It was a little after 5AM when the last DJ left so we cleaned up in the little fountain they had at the festival and headed to the bus station.

I drank some weird coffee-like vanilla drink and it burned my tongue. Ow.
We washed ourselves in the bus station's toilet. We were like hobos XD It was then when I really noticed how filthy the festival had been. I was covered in dirt. After I brushed my hair, my comb looked like I had cleaned it with mud. And when I blew my nose, this black stuff came out. Cute. I'm lucky I didn't get asthma. XD
The ride home went by really quickly since I was asleep most of the way.

At home I couldn't sleep because every time I laid down, there was this mad loud ringing in my ears. Much worse than the ringing I've ever had after other concerts. When I concentrated on it, I realized it was as if I was standing next to a foghorn. So I gave up and stayed up and went to sleep when it got dark. I had to listen to my iPod to drown out the ringing but I did manage to fall asleep.

And I still have Metallica and Akon+Snoop Dogg and possibly Sean Kingston, R.E.M. and We Are the Scientists left on the menu. Nice. 8)

And after that I've just chilled. I'm still completely obsessed with Twilight, which I don't think I have mentioned here until now. Well, it's a book series and my new replacement for Harry Potter. They are romantic action horror novels about vampires and werewolves and also some normal people and well, they are very compelling. I read the first three books in less than a week and now I'm waiting for the last book of the series which will be out in August! And while waiting, I have read and re-read the three books about 4 times each.

I've also been listening to book two of the Wheel of Time series. I read the first book a few years ago and started waiting for the sequel to be translated but since it seems like that is not going to happen, I downloaded the audiobook version of book 2 and I'm listening to that...

I'm super tired of typing already but I just have to say this. I have a new laptop! Praise the gods! It has 160GB of free space!!!! My old computer had about 100MB of free space last time I checked. Now I just have the trouble of getting all my music, pictures and files and sims and everything to this laptop... shall be fun.
The only thing that sucks is that Microsoft Word and Excel are in Estonian. o_o I will die a slow death if I ever have to use them for more than 20 minutes.


K, peace, I'm out.

Well yeah, I kinda forget I have a blog sometimes. I think every blogger should manage with at least one post a week. But it's not easy you know! So I hope I can be forgiven for not posting (even on a Sunday O:).

And now to the regular news...

My back is aching like a BITCH. Horrible. I don't know why or how but I have somehow managed to hurt my back and now it's driving me crazy. It just won't stop hurting. *emotear*
I can't lift anything and walking is starting to become, well, problematic.
The fact that I had to stand in the cold wind and rain for 40 minutes waiting for the bus didn't make me feel much better either. It's like the bus drivers have this secret contract that they must set the timetables so that it's impossible for me to catch the earliest bus home.
I have to take two buses to get home. The first one is always at least 5 minutes late. When I get off at the right stop I can see my next bus driving away and I can give it a cheerful wave. Or not. If the bus would be ON TIME like it should, I would make the next bus. But it's not on time. This is a conspiracy I tell you! D;<


And now to some more optimistic topics.

60 Cent is now a mommy! Yup, that's right, we now have 4 kittens wandering around the house. Well... they're not exactly moving around, they just sleep and eat, but you know what I mean. :P

I don't know why I didn't write about this earlier. It's kind of a big deal. o_O

Anywayz... I would post pics but I don't have any good ones. They're living in a box in the attic. It's dark there. Pics = one big black mess.

Maybe I'll do a little picture spread when they're moving around, ya kno, checkin out da hood, fo shizz. I'll have to name them to. I'm still planning on naming them after rappers, but I'll want to see them in action first. ;D

I got limewire working again! Hallelujah thank you Jesus!
I reinstalled lime, turned off the firewall while it connected, and now it's working. I now realise what a useful program it is. Using Ares and those other weird things was soooo painful. It took me a month to download ONE song.
When I got Lime working, I downloaded 18 songs in 5 minutes. :D Vry nice.

***

Soo... I'd write more but I'm tired and I still have to learn some text about Alfred Nobel in Russian and my back is still hurting and there's no Heroes or Prison Break on TV today and I'm hungry.

Oh yes, one more thing. Estelle ft Kanye West - American Boy. Good song. I'd post it but I'm lazy. :D

G'night.

Oh noes! I missed Sunday!

boomp3.com

Cazals - Life Is Boring (Crookers Zupa Dela Cazals Mix) <- Vry naiz. Try it. *thumbs up*

OMG.
I can't believe I didn't post anything on Sunday. I'm a horrible blogger. *emotear*

Moving on... I had a weird weekend. Spent some "family time". Gah. It's weird just to say it.

We had crazy amounts of snow in our garden so my mother forced us all outside to build snow-creatures and stuff.
This is what me and my brother managed to build. It's a bunny. Snow-bunny. Doesn't it look warm and cuddly? :)

Yeah, let's face it, it looks kinda creepy.



Wow. A fortress. If you look carefully, you can see a reindeer/horse thing in the back too. That was all that my parents managed to come up with. Pfft. Snow-bunny like totally pwns their horse-thing!

I pulled my back carrying all those snowballs... it's surprising how much a bunch of frozen rain can weigh.

But at least it was worth the effort! Two days have passed and these magnificent statues still glorify our garden:


The big blob in the center is the fortress, the slightly smaller blob in the back is the horse-thing and left of it is the amazing snow-bunny.

Had a driving lesson today. Only a few weeks left till my driver's test so I really need to practice. But god how I hate those driving lessons.
All Sehr-ghey did during the one-hour-lesson was play around with some new magic-screen-computer-thing that shows a video pic of the traffic behind the car.
This screen-thing had that special pencil to control the touchscreen and the idiot kept losing this pencil. He dropped it at least four times. Finally he told me to stop at a supermarket so he could get out of the car and look for it under his seat. Pfffft.
Can't wait for the next lesson. D:

***

Only two days left till Good Charlotte! It would be awesome if I got to meet and interview them, but just seeing the show will be great too. I hope. Never seen 'em live before. :o Actually... I should be listening to their songs right now, I only know like 5 of their songs :P

But the Cazals remix I posted is also ÜBER-NIFTY so go ahead, listen to it.

Just wanted to say...

I passed the theory part of my driving test. Yay for me.
:)

Again??

Yeah. Sunday again. Wowz, I haven't posted since Monday. Blasphemy!

I have several things I want to write about so this is going to be extra random.


Blonde mafia was here one day. It might have been Tuesday but I'm not sure. o_o
We tried to play "Get Up Carmen" by Waldeck on piano. We watched the video on YouTube (a little boy plays the piano in it) and tried to learn it.
I learned to play a few simple songs on piano when I was about 8 and that's pretty much all I know about playing piano. So this was an interesting challenge for me. And it wasn't a major FAIL as I expected, we actually managed to get the notes in place and kind of play it together. :D Collaborationz, yo!

She wrote a nice long post about our Tuesday. I am a blogger of few words so I am lucky to cough up a paragraph or too. But we had an awesome time. xD

It's spring break... It's -3C outside. And snow. Lots of snow.

I've been trying to get up quite early in the mornings, like 10-ish, but I haven't been very successful. Best result so far I think is 12.34.

I wanted to use this free week to do some important stuff, like prepare for my history exam and the theory exam for my driver's license.

Lawl. Yeah, haven't gotten to that yet. But I still have time... about 8 hours or so. :D

What could possibly distract me from my schoolwork? Well... everything. 'Cause everything is better than studying history.

I have developed a slight addiction to World of Warcraft again. My brother got his first char to level 70. A night elf druid. Yup, he's Alliance. Traitor. D:

I've been a devoted Horde member since day one. Or who knows what number day it was. Who cares!
I've been leveling my undead warlock a lot this week. She's 48 right now. Wait, I must find a picture of her... Gah, their all old. D: I'll add a new one later...

EDIT: here it is...


On the foreground you can see Sewagebandit (that's me lolz), and the blue dude is my Voidwalker Thanlos. He's an idiot but quite useful none the less. =)

Where was I... Oh yes. My hatred towards Alliance grows with every breath I take. Okay, maybe that's a bit too dramatic, but I honestly can't stand those Alliance idiots. Most of them are like 12 years old and think the most fulfilling activity is to kill low-level Horde members.

Just yesterday a high level gnome (prolly 65+) attacked me and killed me with one shot. Fair? Hell no! I don't even have a chance to fight back if his one shot can kill me!
And what's even worse, he started camping at my death site, so he could kill me again when I revive. I decided to revive myself at the cemetery. I hope he stood there for several hours before he realized that I was not gonna revive myself there. N00b.

When I get to level 70, I'm gonna find those camping-n00bs and kill them all! MWAHAHAHAHA!

*cough* Got kinda carried away there...

***

Another recent addiction of mine - Internet TV.

Heroes, Lost and Prison Break just finished their seasons on TV. Now I only have House and Desperate Housewives to watch. And that's not enough. So I turned to the almighty Internet.

I was surprised to find that there are BILLIONS of sites that stream my fave series for free. Okay, not billions, but at least 4-5 sites. >< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSWHJ3sQly05ykF561Rs8SkISLzKjNEk9N8aXgWJui0w0oihNDofknbM7fw96U58L-N5OivuIZZHOH9vgNRooIShq-jZIaEkNe94jKLOZqEG_HE5hxx5_l3Q5rbeS05psyCqeqq9p1yN-/s1600-h/Fail2.jpg">

This is the longest post I've made so far I think. Congratz to me!

And it wasn't too random... Woah, O.C. starts in 2 minutes, gotta run. :D

I'm alive!

What do you know? It's Sunday again!

It's snowing. >___>
That reminded me I should blog a bit.

I survived my exam! Woohoo! (Listen to the song right now!)

The exam went by so smoothly... It took me ten minutes to pick a topic ("Who is a successful person?") instead of an hour and I finished the whole thing in about 2,5 hours (instead of 6, as I feared :D). I wrote 3,25 pages. =D

I think I did okay. Usually when I think I did well, I get a bad mark. But when I'm sure that I have written up the biggest pile of crap ever, I get a five.

So I have no idea what I'm gonna get. 70 points would be nice.... really nice.


Spring break! Woohoo! (Listen to the song again!)

A week of no school! Yeah baby!

I have managed to spend the first two days of spring break doing nothing. It feels awesome. You should try it. 8)

Okay, I admit it, I did play a little Tony Hawk's Undergroud 2. Nifty game.
And I folded some more paper swans. It's a really relaxing activity.
I just remembered another idiotic thing my English teacher said.
Teacher: Revolting? Don't you know what that means? It means to fold something. Like this- *folds some paper*
The class: o_O Are you sure?
Teacher: What? Of course! Revolting - to fold!

She is a JENIUS.

Metallica is coming to Riga this summer. Woohoo! (Lis- you know what to do! ;D)

Do I want to go? Hell yeah! Riga might suck but Metallica can make any place look cool.

Tickets will be available starting from tomorrow.
I am a user at this fbi thing, that brings these performers here so I can but tickets a few days earlier.
And now the best part - all standing places are sold out.

It's a football stadium. HUGE. I have no idea how all the tickets can be sold out when they're not even officially for sale!
Latvians... can't trust them.

This sucks. I posted 4 ads online to buy 2 tickets, no answer yet.

There's still a slim chance that they might have new tickets for sale on Monday... 'cause it would be unfair to everyone if half the tickets are already sold out when they come for sale.

Blah. The words "ticket" and "sell" are making me sick.

I need some chocolate.

My world is complete

I am complete. I feel at one with the universe. I have just finished my first ever origami swan!

I'm gonna call it Mr. Weasley.
Yep.


Oh, almost forgot.
I passed my driving exam! WOOHOO! XD

Hallelujah!

teh Internetz! itz alive agian!!!1

My net has been fucking around for almost a week, not loading pages and making me refresh everything 9 times, but about 15 minutes ago it went back to normal! :D Yeah baby!

To celebrate, I bring you a classic: Will Smith - Miami. Rejoice!
boomp3.com

I noticed that I'm beginning to post only on Sundays. I guess I'm just to lazy to do it in the middle of the week. Surprise lawl.

I want spring break to start already. One week of school left... *dies*
And Friday, the last day, will be the best, the cherry on the cake, the dot on the i, the extra chocolatey chocolate sauce on chocolate chip ice cream... my Estonian mock exam.

"Mock exam" is such a stupid expression.

Well, I decided for once to prepare for this exam and look up some good quotes.
Of course I got bored and started looking for funny quotes...

* A gentleman is a man who can play the accordion but doesn't.
* It's always darkest before the dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
* Keep smiling. It makes people wonder what you're up to.
* I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
* If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven’t used enough.
* I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
* Join the army, visit exotic places, meet strange people, then kill them.
* I like work. It fascinates me. I sit and look at it for hours.
* Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking.
* They say hard work never hurts anybody, but why take the chance.

+ a bumper sticker quote (wowz I even found a picture of it):
I want that one! =D

Now a little update on the weather... I thought last Sunday was pretty bad but yes, then it got worse.

Yes, that bad.
(Now would be a good time to press the 'play' button on the Miami song. If you haven't already.)

I froze my feet off on multiple occasions. Fortunately, I didn't have to amputate them.

The weekend has been slightly better, I can see the ground (and not just heaps of white cold goo).

***

One more thing... Icons!
I watched like almost a whole season of America's Next Top Model on YouTube (which amazingly worked quite well during my Internet troubles) and got inspired!
So I opened up Paint Shop Pro and whipped up a few icons from a photo shoot from Season 3. Well, I made like 10 icons but I'm too tired to upload 'em all, so you get only two.


lawl... no flaming plz XD

I'm going to Miami.
Welcome to Miami... Bienvenido a Miami.

...

What?

That's what I said.

Fuckin' shit. There's nothing like Cyanide and Happiness to cheer you up on a crappy day.

Eat More Borsch!

I just got back from a Thai restaurant (it was my parents' wedding anniversary). I ate so much sweet and sour chicken and pork in honey sauce that I feel like I'm becoming Chinese or something. Thaian.
My 3-year-old brother was there too and he got bored... He ate his french fires and then he started going "let's go home! I wanna go home! Let's gooooo!"
Finally when everyone was finished eating he was still whining about going home so my mother said "Go and ask the waiter for the check" just to shut him up.
Then my little brother runs off somewhere, we thought he just went to the kids corner to draw but then we hear "ANNA ARVE!" ("Give me the check!"). I LOL'd so hard. He was screaming at a waitress. She was like... O_O.

Saturday was weird. Had an interview with a band. It was in some warehouse. They had a photo shoot there too. Since they were late (big surprise), we had to wait like an hour for them to finish. Wadewa. It was cold.
The interview was not too bad. They gave some great answers but also some strange ones. I recorded the whole thing and now I don't recognize their voices. They all sound the same xP That might be a problem... but who cares, I don't think the magazine I'm doing it for will even get published. The interview is for the first issue, you see, and publishing a new magazine is not cheap or easy.
Thank god it's not my problem.

Yesterday I heard my cat hiccuping. It was the cutest thing. ^^

I failed my driving test. Again. Failboat. >_>.
I want to hire someone to murder my driving instructor. Sehr-ghey. He's a fucking failure. He hasn't taught me one useful thing about driving. All he does is whine and complain and yell at me. The more I think about it the more I believe that he's flunking me on purpose. Bastard.

Now I'm depressed.
Here's a lolcat:

Early mornings

boomp3.com

Anti-Flag - The Press Corpse

I woke up at 9.13 today. Just like that. Weird. Ususally I have to set an alarm so I don't sleep till 2 in the afternoon.
Since it's rare for me to have this much time in the morning, I used it wisely - by playing The Sims. And of course I took some pics!


Hehee... this beautiful boy was born in my Prosperity Fellowship neighborhood. That's Rufus Busto's son Torpedo. I gave him a different haircut (lawl) and now he looks slightly less intimidating.

I'm a total maniac when it comes to sims-downloads (my downloads folder is 2,6 GB)... My computer is really laggy because of it but I can't stop myself from downloading more custom content. I had another shopping spree this morning. I got a bunch of rocking outfits and crazy haircuts and like 50 guitar recolors. So I did a little photo shoot!

I love this pic. Her eyes look totally real. Creepy. o_o

And now it's time for randomness.

Gahhh. I have an interview today with this band. Actually I was supposed to do it last Saturday but they've postponed it three times. Lovely chaps. >__>
They'd better give me a fucking awesome interview or I'll shave off their emolocks.

I just ate a bar of chocolate. It was with hazelnuts. Yummy. Now I want a burger. And lots of fries.

Limewire is a piece of crap. It's been acting like a retard for 2 weeks already D:
Now I have to use some Ares to download music. Lame.

Vogue in the Movement. I discovered them about a month ago. I really love their songs but I can't find a place to download them. It's maddening. Damn you Limewire!
