Okay hi.. So it's been a while since S last updated.. And a lot has changed. From good to bad, dramatically. Right now i'm in the middle of... Misery yeahhh.I won't like to share the details with you guys, sorry, but.. Basically the last three days i've cried a lot and.. Before that i was the happiest I've ever been, but all of it crumbled with just one phone call..I dunno it's just so hard for me.(im sorry that you dont know the story behind the "IT")
But i have plans. I am not going to stay this way, i just have two more days to bear this, then i'll go to Tartu, talk to a person and some other friends, and they'll help me through it, i know:) And the other option is that this one person has good news for me.. Aah it's scary to even think about it, i'd be the exact opposite of what i am like now:D if only if only...

Annnnyway, what i've been up to the time i didn't write anything here? I had a job.. I was selling all kinds of berries and vegetables and other stuff.. Got payed enough:) Basically right now i live for Tartu. It's a city about 6 hours away from where i live. Some time ago i had plans that after 9th grade i'll go to high school in Tallinn, but now that i've been there more, and also spent so much time in Tartu.. I've fallen in love with Tartu:D So this is going to be my final decison, where i want to end up. But aaanyways, I only went to work so i could go to Tartu. So after my first paycheck i went there right away. Ón the 29th of Lune i went to Tallinn with my Kristlin, to a little gig, 'Screamo Terror'.. Estonian screamo bands.. loved that. next day i went to Tart anI stayed there from 30th of June until 11 of July. and now it's 20th of July, and i can't stand being here! ...I dont even know how it all started, at first i knew only ONE person from Tartu, and now... all my best friends are there. And i am not hurring with saying this, but really, i can say that i know some of my friends there FAR better, that the ones i talk to here in my homeotwn. It's like i've known them for so long... And it isn't just me thinking that way, my friends back in Tartu feel the same way. I know that cause they are not afraid to say things like that out loud:) It was sooo touching when one girl told me that she's going to miss me so much and cant wait when i come back.. i remember first when i went there on the 30th i was sooo bored all the time cause Rachel (the only girl i knew at first) was away, so i had to spend so many hours just walking around and doing nothing.. i knew one other boy too then but he had to go to work, so after he finished i could have a little fun:) but well basically the next few days i got to know so much nice people.. and i got to know some of them better than others, and saying goodbye to them makes it so hard to be home again.. cmon i have more friends in a city 6 hours away from me than in my hometown!:D it's killllling meeeeeeeeee. not that i'd dislike my home, it and my family will probably the only ones i'll miss when i'll go away.. but yeah.. i just feel better in Tartu.

Okay so briefly, Tartu... nights outside with a bunch of friends, getting drunk and arriving to a friends house 6am after a two-hour walk, when there would've olso been a 20-minute way;
birthday parties with fun and drama all together, a security car looking for a lost wheelbarrow which Remo used to deliver drinks from a departnent store to the house, b-day girls cleaning up a carpet that someone had puked on, which, btw, was in a room no one was allowed to enter;
evenings spent on Pirogov, a nice PUBLIC place where underaged people drink and such, without police doing anything, where everyone knows each other and even if they don't, the still go ask for a beer or a smoke, and they get it with kindness:) nice, uh? someone plays a guitar somehwere, some people playing footbag and the rest just sitting on the grass and talking..
FUCKING MISSING IT ALL.
Luckily i'm going back on Sunday and i'll stay there for about three weeks.. it's bad in a way cause i can already imagine how hard it'll be to leave.. but then hopefully the last school year will pass quikly... Just can't wait. That'd be the end of all my miserable days when I don't have a shit to do.. plus Viljandi and Tallinn would be closer too! yaay^^

oooookay.
Oh. I made myself a nose piercing two days ago. Didn't hurt at all and it still doesn't. My friend told me that you don't feel physical pain that much when you're sad or angry or such. It's true..Right now i have a little thorn, but in Tartu i'll replace it with little hoop.. but i'd have to remove it when i get home tho, cause my mom would probably kill me if i had that in my nose.

I also made myself another blog. it's in estonian but i think i'll be updating it more often than this one.

Finally got myself a new layout. The banner is made by me. I had a bunch of images I wanted to use but I only finished with this one. But I guess I'll be changing them.

The Used's new album sounds really good. I've only heard a few song of it, the rest is downloading. I really wish I could buy the original tho. But I made a little calculation, and all my money goes to the music festivals I'm planning to go this summer. And of course the bus tickets there and back.
The First one I'm attending, Lelle Alternatiiv, is on the 6-7th of June, then the next one, Solk Vestivaal is right after it, on the 8-9th. And the biggest, which i'm so exited about, Rabarock (Poets Of The Fall, Pedigree, Clawfinger, Kosmikud, Pain, etc) is on the 15th and 16th of June. And on 17th my friend asked me to come to her graduation in Viljandi, so I can't wait to go there either :] Anyway, I'm gonna have a busy June, that's really good, cause I remember last year in June I was always bored and sitting at home and didn't find anything to do. So yea, it's not gonna be like that anymore.. ^^ Oh and in July, on the 12-14, I'm going to RUTSfest. I hope this summer is going to be the best one ever.

My step-brother felt like throwing my cell phone into a cup filled with sprite. So I had been without a cell phone for a week. But I finally got a new one yesterday. Nothing special, but has everything I need. A Nokia black flap phone. And I'm probably getting a camera pretty soon! Depends on my mom's moods xD It is a Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Cant waiiiit!

Theres 17 days left of school, then we're gonna have the exam period for about a week. I have to do all the exams - math, physics and history. History is on the same day as the Placebo's gig but im gonna do the exam as early as i can then I'm gonna go to Tallinn, and i'll even have about four hours of spare time before the concert. Then the next day we have our class trip to Lihtuania. I have a little problem with that, cause there's no way I can make it back home after the Placebo's gig. But I the bus could pick me up somewhere on the road I guess.

The Used's "Lies For The Liars" CD Bundle is up for pre-order now. So now I have time until 22th of May to get the money. I reaaaallly want thissss. Pre'ordering you get a T-shirt and a special booklet with it. http://www.theused.net/CDbundle/

Oh and the situations in Tallinn are calm, but we can expect a new riot on the 9th of May.

Quick news on the TV : The riot starts again in Tallinn!

Estonia memorial move 'blasphemy'

Russia says the statue honours soldiers who fought Nazi Germany

Russia has condemned the removal by Estonian authorities of a contentious Red Army war memorial as blasphemous and inhuman.

Estonia was mocking the dead, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

One person was killed and more than 40 injured in street unrest as the statue was removed from the capital, Tallinn. Police used tear gas and water cannon.

Russia said the memorial should not have been moved, but many Estonians saw it as a reminder of Soviet rule.

More than 300 of the mostly ethnic Russian demonstrators who were protesting against the statue's removal were arrested during the overnight clashes.

Secret location

The removal provoked angry condemnation from Russian officials and lawmakers.

ESTONIA-RUSSIA TIES

1918: Estonia gained independence from Russia

1940: Forcibly incorporated into Soviet Union

1941-1944: Occupied by Nazi Germany

1944: Soviets return as Nazis retreat

1991: Gains independence as Soviet Union collapses

1994: Last Russian forces leave Estonia

Now: Ethnic Russians make up quarter of Estonia's 1.3m people

History at the heart of row

In pictures: Estonia clashes

Have Your Say

Mr Lavrov said Russia would "take serious steps" following the removal and Russia's Federation Council (upper house) called for diplomatic relations with Estonia to be cut.

Estonia's government would not reveal where it took the six-foot (1.83m) statue, but spokesman Martin Jasko said it would ultimately be placed at the military cemetery in Tallinn.

The memorial, a bronze statue of a Soviet soldier, was erected in 1947. The remains of Soviet soldiers are thought to be buried nearby.

Estonian officials said it had to be moved to a cemetery because the site attracted both Russian and Estonian nationalists.

'Not justified'

By Thursday evening, around 1,000 demonstrators gathered as police sealed off the site ahead of the removal.

The memorial has inspired violence between communities

There were reports of looting and vandalism, and police used tear gas and a water cannon when a group tried to break through a cordon around the monument. Several police were among the injured, reports said.

"The aim of the government move was to prevent further similar gross violations of public order, which pose a real threat to citizens' health and property," an Estonian government statement said.

Ethnic Russians, who make up more than a quarter of Estonia's 1.3 million population, say that the statue commemorates Red Army soldiers who died fighting Nazi Germany.

HAVE YOUR SAY

The statue was a symbol of occupation in Estonia and should have been removed in 1991

"International organisations should examine [the events in Tallinn] in all seriousness and take any necessary steps to cool the ardour of the Estonian authorities," RIA Novosti news agency quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin as saying.

But on Thursday, Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip said the relocation of the memorial was a matter for Estonia alone.

"We don't consider it necessary to hold deep discussions with the Russian authorities over the internal affairs of Estonia," he said.

God. It's gonna be even worse tonight than it was yesterday. People have gathered on the streets since the afternoon. Wish I could just stop this.

*EDIT
I'm watching the news right now.. OH MY FUCKING GOD.. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE FRICKIN COUNTRY I LIVE IN AND THAT HAS SEEMED SO PEACEFUL.... dammit. i cannot fucking believe this shit.

Some news about Estonia.
Okay so we have this "little" rebellion going on. Maybe some of you have heard about it. Some people already fear that it's going to grow into a civil war, but I don't think it's going to happen. The case is, that there has been an argument about a russian monument in Tallinn some time. Estonain politicians wanted to move it some place else and the russians who live here didn't like it of course. So yersterday when they started to dig the memorial out Tallinn turned quite into a hell with all those russians protesting and messing around. The ridiculous part is tho, that most of the russians there were young people who might not even know why the monument is there and what are the reasons that Estona and Russia don't have good relations. But they still kick in windows and make a fucking riot in Tallinn.

Quite freaky what's going on there. Luckily I live four hours away from Tallinn and on an island. A majority of our police has been also sent to Tallinn. My friend, whose bother is in the army, told me that several busses filled with russian people have crossed the border and are heading to Tallinn.

One russian ambassador said that now they have all the reasons to start a war with Estonia and the first steps have already been made.

Yeah. Well. I hope it isn't gonna go that far.

Yesterday around midnight I arrived home. Viljandi and Tartu were great. It starts all over again- I go someplace I love, do things I can't do here, see people I don't see here, meet new ones and so on. I dont know if you know how it feels, but after stuff like that I just didn't want to come home. Exactly like the previous times. So basically I figured most of my life (by that I mean my freinds that I love the most) live so far from me. My best friends live more than a hundred kms away from me, that kind of hurts. I'm not going to write here what I did and where I went and who I saw, you don't care anyway. But it's just that these little trips I make from time to time.. I spent about five hours with one of my best friends, and she started to cry when I had to leave. You can just imagine how that really hurts, to see that. I even missed the bus twice, to stay longer. This is getting kind of ridiculous, that I have to spend time like this with my friends. I thought about this whole situation some time ago, and I really have no friends here at home who really care about me, at least not that I'd know. They don't show it even if they do. They wouldn't start to cry if I'd leave somewhere. They wouldn't want to hear what I really have in mind. They woulnd't care less about how I feel. I can only talk to them about superficial stuff. But with my REAL friends, I can talk to ANYTHING in the world. They'd come outside to take a walk at 4am. I know that cause we've done that. They'd do all kind of crazy and stupid stuff with me. They'd answer the phone if I call them after the midnight. Sounds like a perfect friendship, huh? Well so far it is like that, perfect. Exept the distance. Four people who I have to say in touch by the internet and phones. I dont know, I don't really like that, I like to talk to people face to face. After 9th grade, thats a little more that a year, I'm definetly moving away to Tallinn. I've talked to my mom about this too. She isn't going to stop me if I want to. That's why I'm lucky with having the mom I have. But anyway, I can't wait til summer 2008, that's when I'll hopefully start moving to Tallinn. I've made plans with one girl that we'll rent an apartment together and we even have an idea of a project we'll start to make living. [: And let's see, I bet no one of my 'friends' here will miss me. Baaaah.

Oh look, Marta's updating !!

2007-04-11T19:21:38Z

Ellllllloooo. I finally decided to write a bigger update about what I have done this last... month. That's about how long I havent said anything xD I don't think I remember too far back tho...alrighty then.

On 16th of March I went to a little concert, called Endless Nameless with seven bands I think... So this was a lot of fun, most of them were metal bands, some punk, some screamo kinda stuff. Overall a greeeeat event, definetly going again the next year.

On the 18th early in the morning we left for Slovakia. This was seeeeriously the best trip EVER. We went with a bus full of people from all over estonia. By a chance there happened to be also one boy from my class and another from my school. And I made friends with one girl whom we later found out with that i know her best friend. Small country indeed, Estonia :D
The whole first day we sat in the bus and rode through Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. We stayed in Poland in a hotel, about 50 kilometers from Warsaw. The next day we arrived to Poprad, Slovakia. On the third day we went to Štrbské Pleso (1300-1915m), the first day on the mountains! Most of us skied, but a bunch also snowboarded. Since I had only snowboarded three times before, without any help and advices, I only knew how to stand up and slow down and brake and such basic small things. So basically I spent the first hour on the beginners hill reminding old stuff. Then after that I went up with the lift thingy. At first up there it was like.. dude, I have to ride down from here?? It was all foggy and I saw like 2 meters through the fog, not more, and it was like 3-4 km ride down. Buuut, I made it down and went up right away, youknow it's really addictive once you get the urge in. So for the end of the day I had no problem with all this, sure I fell quite a lot too, but.. yeah.:D On Wednesday and Thursday we went to another place, Jasná (950-2024m). This was a looooot cooler place. Bigger, better downhill runs and tracks, and overall everything was nicer. We also went to the other side (the blue track on the right side on the map) of Jasná mountains. This track was more boring cause it was just going down straight. On the second day in Jasná me and two estonian guys I got to know went up to the freeride zone (the first freeride zone on the map). It was quite a struggle coming down from there the first time, cause it was open snow there and a lot of bumps. But the freeride zone was realllly THE BEST. We all were like really reallllllly exited. We rode straight down the blue or the red track (they're on left side on the map), so it made like a 10 km ride down. And once at the bottom, upppp again :D we also took time to sit on the mountains and enjoy the view, I tried to take photos with my crappy phone too. But irl it was A LOT prettier. The trird day on the mountains was like.. aah. I'll remember that for long:D Okkkay but on the forth day we went back to Štrbské Pleso, cause we rented our equipment from there and it was the last day and we had to give the stuff back. After being in Jasná this place seemed.. too easy, or like, dissapointing, I couldnt get Jasná out of my mind, I STILL can't xD All the days we went on the mountains at 8am and came back around 4pm, so we spent the evenings in a pub or just walking around in Poprad.
On Saturday we started our drive back home. Again we spent a night at the same hotel near Warsaw. That night was something that I'll never forget either.. But I'm not going to write about it here :D I stayed up until 4am and basically sneaked back into my room^^. Baaaaaaah. On Sunday we arrvied back to Estonia, unfortunatelly. The end of the trip. But I already promised myself that I'm going back there and my mom even asked if we liked it there and if we'd like to go back. I was like FUUUCCCKKK YEEEAAAHHHHHH, I'll go back there anytime (no matter that my butt hurted and my heels had no skin on them xD). Vot tak. Ok so that's all I have to say about the trip, tho there was A LOT more stuff that happened and so much more reasons why I miss it all.

This is the road map of Jasná:

I also found this photo of the Jasná mointains, the same as on the map:

And these are the photos I took with my phone when we were sitting in the freeride zone:

When we came back from Jasná on the second day, the weather was really clear, so we could see the mountains. I took some photos of that too from the bus window.

We did have a camera with us but it turned out really pointless, we didn't even take it with us to the mountains. No time for taking pictures, snowboarding all the time xB

Okay so that's it with the trip. I hope it wasn't too boring to read all this:D

The last weekend we had School Fashion Show. Yes, we got to the next round! Tho I was all like, whyyyyy, I don't want to go there, the costumes suck and blabla, let's skip this year. But the other girls still wanted to take part of it, the were all exited and stuff. So, on Saturday we went there, started to prepare (we still had some things to sew xD) and made the hair and make up. The whole day was quite fun actually. But the weird this was that I didn't get nervous AT ALL. The other girls all complained that they have butterflies in their stomacks and they were freaking out:D I wast even nervous n the stage, it was really like, aaah whateverm let's get it over with already. Buuuuuuut. When they were calling out the winners and stuff.. Guess what xD we won a special prize, we were the artschool's favourites xD weeeeeird.

These are some photos of our two costumes. For some reason the protographer didn't like me and Teele, so there are only photos of Birgit and Piret (and that's why you'll only see two coustumes of the four)

what else..

PLACBO IS COMING TO ESTONIA ON THE 28TH OF MAY!!!!
woooooot. I got the tickes from pre-sale, ::E:E:E:E:Eyay. today I just found out that I have my history exam the same day, which ~~kind of~~ SUCKS, since it takes about four hours to go to Tallinn from where I live. But, I DO NOT CARE AT ALL, I'll do the exam in the morning and get on the bus right away, I won't miss this for anything!!

^^psh

On Friday I'll leave for Viljandi and Tartu, I'll be away the whole weekend. Im going to see some of my friends and on Satuday I'll go to a concert, similar to Endless Nameless, with different bands. And on Sunday I have a birthday to crash ^^
Soooo bye for now, and I hopefully I'll update again next week xD if anyone of you even reads this. Tho I'm fine writing this anyway, I'll read it again when I'll be 50 years old or something.

okkk so I haven't updated quite some time now. Not that I've been busy but I gotta admit I kind of hate seeing the LiveJournal 'update' window covering the screen for a few hours. Yeap that's how long it takes if I want a proper update. No I don't write the text that long, I do other stuff on the internet too but it's hard to write what I've been doing. As you can see right now, cause I'm talking about the same pointless things for three lines now.

cough cough

Last Thursday we had the big almighty fashion show. And theres one word to sum it all up: crap. We had like a hour and a half to get ready. To put on make-up, change into our costumes, and apparently, sew. Idk the time passes by so fast right now, we didn't really have the time to finish our costumes. I remember last years it has alway been like "come ooooooooooooooon why does it seem so longggggggg", we always had the clothes finished for like a month earlier (at least the basic things, this year everyone got their pantses/shirts finished like a day or few before). This year I didn't even find the time to get nervous. We were called on the stage for three times, but we couldn't go cause we didn't have one model. She was putting on make-up cause she got there at four o'clock (that's when the Fashion Show begun), she was on the domestic science's olympiad (hahahahahahhaha XDXDXDXD NUMBER ÜKS KODUKANA) But she won the thing so kudos for her:D When we finally go ton the stage, our costumes had fallen apart, we yelled each other thing from the back of the stage, our moving was basically improvised and we did it all too fast. But I'm glad it's over now:D Unless..... we advance to the next round. It's possible since most of the groups pass. if we do that, we have the time to finish our costumes yay.

On Friday I got to use my acting skills again and complain to the P.E. teacher how sick I was and that I have to go, or I'll miss the bus (yea rigggght I never go by bus). So I got home two hours earlier.

On Saturday... Aaaaaah I loved Saturday. We had this little music school get-together. The part that made my day was when we started to perform a song on our guitars. We played this one song that we had prepared and then of course we wanted to do more, so we just started to play random songs we knew. The drums joined us, electric guitar, bass and even pipe (the Scottish instrument). There was this one moment we all were just like looking at each other and smiling, it sounded goooood. Concidering most of the guitar players were beginners and it was improvised. :D Yep anyway, me and my freind thought that we will start to terrorize the teachers so they'd organize more events like this.

Right now I'm suffering from cold and a bad throat and a coooough. I might still have fever too. I stayed home yersterday, but today I went to school. Actually I had had fever since Friday (yeees even though I was acting to my teacher I was really ill, I just didn't know it yet). But it seems most of the kids in our school were ill the last two weeks and they'll be the next weeks to. There's some kind of a flu around here ^^nice.

I want the 16th of March!

And then the 18th! Slovakia!!! Snowboarding!! woot I get to practice my skills. I'm not that good cause in Estonia I can snowboard only in the winter and in South-Estonia which is umh.. let me see... only in the other side of Estonia. And I have done that only for like tthree winters. But we'll see how it goes in Slovakia, I think the next Christmas I'll be begging for my own snowboard. It's something I definetly want to be good at.

AND THEEEEN the thing I want the most, more than any of you little motherfuckers does - SUMMER !!!!!

And for the ending, let me do some advertising.
MY DEVIANTARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

wtf Good Charlotte's "Moving On" just started in last.fm and i clicked the 'love' button right away. automatically. niiiice. I listened to GC a year ago.

I was (and still am) really exited about 27 of January, cause I invited an Estonian band When The Glory Fades to perform in my school. There was a singing contest in the 26th and 27th, and they needed a band for the afterparty. It wasn't that hard to get them come cause I knew the singer before, and luckily they were glad to come.yaaaaay.
*cough* Well, the day started quite early for me. I woke up at eleven. I wasn't that exited... yet.. Okay so I had just sat down by the table to drink my tea and eat my lemon, and I got a call, about two o'clock. The next thing I know I was banging against the restroom door and telling my mom to make it quick so she could give me a ride to school. Then in about ten minutes I got there, the band guys were sitting in the lobby. The next hour was a big mess, I had to find a room for their stuff, get them name tags, organize them a soudcheck time aaaaand so on. Haha and it was just three o'clock and their performance had to be about at 23, so the next "few" hours we were just sitting in a classroom talking and stuuuuuuf. And I felt quite guilty cause I didn't find them anything more interesting to do :D But time went by quite fast, if I think about it now. They got on stage an hour later than planned, sometime in the midnight. There were two other bands too. After the performance they were all quite bummed, they thought it didn't go that well, cause there were some problems with the audiosystem and things didn't sound right. I couldn't tell tho cause I saw them live the first time^^ And I'm happpppppy as hell. Huuuuuuh so after that we all went to their room where they spent the night and uuuuuum... idk, just sat and ate and drank aaaand so on.^^ :D Anyways it was like 2:30 am and I thought it's about time for me to go home, but they had a vacant bed, so one of the guys said I should stay there.wii.

Happy New Year then, hope everything will go better now, if you want it to.

I don't feel like it's a new year. I didn't even get the Christmas feeling, and if I look outside the window, I can't see any reasons why I should call this all winter.
I usually haven't been that into winter, all the coldness and dark just isn't for me. Snow is nice, this makes everything pretty. But right now, we've got no snow at all, the sky is ugly grey and it's windy and rainy.
Boo. And I'm listening to slow and sad music, drinking my coffee, eating chocolate, and updating my journal.

All the Christmas time kind of went with the same mood. We spent the holidays in South-Estonia, in Otepää. We stayed there for 4 days, then we went to Tallinn, but we also stopped in Tartu for a few hours. I got together with my friend who lives there. We drank hot chocolate and talked... In Tallinn we went bowling, and later in the cinema. We were supposed see 'Apocalypto' but we changed our minds and chose 'The Holiday'. After the movie I asked my cousin how did she like it, she said it was just a typical romantic comedy. It didn't bother me, that's exactly that kind of movie I like.
Where everything is so expected, and a happy ending is the only way.

Actually, I don't think that things are that depressing right now as I make them sound. I make everything so complicated for myself, even if they aren't. And I know I do it, I can see it, but I STILL do it.
I just have so much at the moment, to hold onto. And all I can think about is that what if i lose them?
Or maybe, it is just a cover. Maybe the surface looks happy and inside it all is a mess?
You just have to feel what I do to understand.

Haudi.
Tuesday. In the middle of the school day my head started to ache, real bad. And I already had a cough. I went to the school's nurse. I was quite sure she'll just give me those peppermint pills she has and say something like "you're just hungry, go eat something". Ooookay and for my suprise, she let me go home. And I didn't even have a fever. shallalaaa. and now it's thursday evening, and I'm not gonna go to school tomorrow either. Just spending my days sleeping, listenig to music, dreaming and a little bit even with eating.

Some days ago I got my Underoath's "Define The Great Line", the limited edition. I had already heard the songs, but they sounded even better on the original album. Cause I like original albums. Cause they have booklets. And pretty CDs not just a booooooring CDs with marker text on it. Anyway so there was a DVD with it too. the DVD had three things on it - recording in the studio, the making of the artwork on the packaging and some random dude talking about how he once saw an UFO. The studio part... I kinda laughed my ass off. [Lego hair, girlfrends, bathtubs, toys, the facial hair observation etc.] Tim is funny. Well my grandpa was in the same room then I was watching the DVD, he was like, "what the hell's so funny?". And he also mentioned that this music sucks. 0.o He has no idea what sucks in this world. I should make him listen to trance. He'd turn an Underoath fan right away. Alrighty. So the UFO thing... geee. it lasted about 16 minutes. This man, who was sharing his expierience about the undefined flying objects... who was he? Seemed really random.

Right now...
I love 30STM's new video, so confusing.
I love The Mars Volta, they're different.
I love my current icon, so sdorable.
I love Nelly Furtado's latest single "All Good Things", don't ask, I have always liked that kind of songs.
Blaaah I love all kinds of dreamy songs right now. Straylight Run - Your Name Here (Sunrise Highway), The Fray - How To Save A Life

I do weird things when I'm ill. Like for instance, yesterday evening I went to the kitchen, said to my granny that I want something warm and I opened the fridge. Get it?
Yea and I think I can count this as a weirdness too - sometimes when I stand up and start to walk, everything goes black and gets really dizzy. And I like that feeling.

And I have nothing more to say, thanks.

It is not fun to see one of your friends life get messed up more and more.
She's got a lot of people around her..
And a lot of people to help her out.
But not one of them can't really stop what's happening.
Me neither,
though I'm kind of desperate to. I want to help her.
But who am I in this big group of people,
just one little part?
Definetly not a worthless part.
But very placeble.

oh so post-traumatic stress disorder...
and Wikipedia says it's.. (yea i did look it up cause i really want to know.)

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a term for certain psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful experiences that the person experiences as highly traumatic. ^[1] The experience must involve actual or threatened death, serious physical injury, or a threat to physical and/or psychological integrity. It is occasionally called post-traumatic stress reaction to emphasize that it is a routine result of traumatic experience rather than a manifestation of a pre-existing psychological weakness on the part of the patient.It is possible for individuals to experience traumatic stress without manifesting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, as indicated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.Symptoms of PTSD can include the following: nightmares, flashbacks, emotional detachment or numbing of feelings (emotional self-mortification or dissociation), insomnia, avoidance of reminders and extreme distress when exposed to the reminders ("triggers"), irritability, hypervigilance, memory loss, and excessive startle response, clinical depression and anxiety, loss of appetite.

oh. so... yea. i have hot been raped or anything, that i can tell you.
but i know exactly what causes it.
well whatever, it's not serious, so no worries.
not that anyone would actually worry about it.

OOOKAY!
I've wanted to write a new entry for ages now but.. yea I just haven't.
Now not that you care, but I'm still gonna tell you what I've been up to. First off, there was this one week long school break.
A great chance to visit Tallinn. Two things there - Pink's concert and meeting with some of my online-friends.
When we got there we had about 6 hours of spare time before the show. We shopped, yay. I got a CD - 'Too Bad You're Beautiful' by From Autumn To Ashes and a shirt that had a skull on it. I know I promised myself that I won't buy anything with skulls again, but.. Phh this was a cute shirt.
Pink's gig was great. There were little girls crying, old finnish ladys looking around probably not understanding where they are, big grown men making their way through the crowd to get to the front, bored emo and punk boys and girls just staring into space, stupid girls with alcohol in their hands, rich businessmen with their wives.
Let me explain.
Little girls - Pink's die-hard fans
Old finnish ladys - somebody told them that there's this big concert coming up and lots of people are coming and before they got to know who's giving the concert they bought a ticket and boom - there they were.
Big grown men - most of them probably came straight from a party that had started a day earlier, they were all annoying.
Emo and punk boys and girls - I absoltuely get their point of being there - Pink is the closest to any kind of rock we can see live here in old crappy Estonia
Stupid girls - yea, like in the Pink song. Looking preppy and all, and drunk. They were with the big grown men.
Rich business man - they had the seats, ofcourse. I guess they only showed up to look social and all. Newspaper's pages, you know.
Okay so I guess I had the same point as all the emos and punks did, and also, I have nothing against Pink, she's worldfamous n all.
Oooh and there was an awesome warming band too, a sweedish band called Kamera. They're style was synth-pop, but they sounded good anyway. Kind of like this other band Kent, sweedish too, if I'm not wrong. All the guys in this band looked like David Desroriers with their tight leather jackets and tight pants and all in black you know.
Huh so the next day I met the people. Most of them were emos. Or looked like ones. There were like.. seven of us? Aaaand.. well it was really cold. And we were outside. So we decied to go to a mall. And we just sat there and talked. Then some boys came.. And one my other friend too.. And then I left with my other friend. Well we still stayed in the same mall, cause there was like shit coming down of the sky outside. And then we waited for one another boy and... Really interesting huh?

Well anyway I had a great time and that's what couns for me. And that's why I didn't want to go back, at all. Right when I got in the bus, I felt sooooo fucking frustated. Though I should have been happy, I had so much fun and met so much nice people right? My conclusion of that is just that there's no good without the bad.
Or good things are just to last really short and later on make us feel bad.
The most annoying thing is that all of my friends here are not like the other friends.
I do not know why I can't talk to them. About serious stuff you now. I can sit down and talk with the other pople for hours, discussing everything that comes to our minds.
So sometimes I feally get the feeling that what the fuck is wrong with the people I've known for over seven years now? Shouldn't they know me better than the ones I've known for a year or a MONTH?
Or maybe I hould ask- what is wrong with me? I don't know, I have tried being serious with them.
I can make jokes and funny things with all of them, but this is not what I need all of the time.
The thing is, that I don't meet the friends, that don't live near me very often.
There's a stupid sea between where I live and where they do. Okay only a 30-minute ferry ride and a 4/5 hour drive but still..
God, why do I have to live in such a stupid place?
And one other thing that came to my mind is that maybe all the meetings with the new people, the nice people and the old(new)friends doesn't have a good effect at all? Yes I do feel fortunate and great and all when I'm with them.. But I don't like the feeling of missing people.

Nice, I got myself in a bad mood again with all of this talk.
Anyway. I'll continue.

The next day when I came back from Tallinn, I celebrated my birthday with my freinds. I did expect that I'm not gonna be that fun cause of my sucky mood the previous day, but it turned out really fun and I have a greeaaat time.
So some head words, I'm not gonna write what we did: preparing the meal, foodfight, music videos, games, loud music, screaming.. Umh.

I liked today.
I got a lot of hugs.
I like hugs.
I want to get hugs every day.
yepyep^^
anyway. So i woke up really early. For school ofcourse. And it did feel different. But a weird different. I was home alone, so no one was there to wish me happy birthday or wake me up with a cake as they usually do.
All the way to school i wasn't that exited about my b-day, but right when I got to school I got A LOT OF HUGS, yay. I was kind of expecting this situation where no one remembered it was my birthday todyay. Though the previous days I mentioned it quite a lot :D
My class even sang me the Birthday Song in english lesson xD But I wanted them to sing something from Paris Hilton, some of them even did.
After school, solfeggio. And then I went to my grannys, we had a little party with the oldies.
But i'm realllllly looking forward to next week.
a) going to Tallinn
b) get to go shopping
c) Pink's gig
d) hangin out with my friends who i dont get to see that often
e) back from Tallinn - my birthday party with my friendsss!!!

hello bitches!!

2006-10-12T17:03:01Z

Okay so I'm gonna give you a small review of what I've been up to letely aaaand I'm also gonna post... one more thing.

Hi again.
I don't even know where to start, I don't remember when I last updated.
So let me see... uh okay. As the fall and cold and everything comes, you know, I'm starting to get sick again, as usual. I thought one good thing about it is that maybe the school's nurse will let me go home. But noooo. I went to her today, just to complain how sick I was feeling. And I really was feeling like dying. But she just gave me this goo I had to drink. So I had to stay in school.. Idiot.

But I really love last.fm. Such a good thingy. So thank god, or whoever came up with it. It's much better than Pandora of whatever it's name was.
So let me know if you're using it and tell me your username, okay 8D
Check out my profile right here.

Also, check out this page here.
I gathered all my icons to one place.

Has anyone seen Taking Back Sunday's new video 'Liar (It Takes One To Know One)'?
Great video, I think. Good idea. I liked the ending. The spider-smashing too.

Oh and a little reminder, my birthday is in 13 days!!!
yaay.

***

Okay so here comes the other thing I wanted to add.
This is really long.
It's Chuck's [Simple Plan] new blog entry on their myspace.
I don't listen to them anymore, but it was just nice to hear something new from them.
Memories come up, you know xD

Anyway, here it is:

What's up everybody?

Ok.....so I write a little blog or two for you guys, just something really simple, really low-key, totally intended for the die-hard SP fans only and next thing I know....boom!! It's on MTV.com, Rollingstone.com, Perezhilton.com (love that site!! Check it out....pure guilty pleasure), it even becomes the #1 most-read blog on myspace...holy sh*t! WTF?? I guess we're kind of a big deal huh? Like....you know....people know us...hahaha. Honestly I'm not sure my amazing hockey talent or what I did on my birthday deserves to be on all those news outlet but hey....I'll take it and I won't complain. Nothing wrong with that right? Come on!! I have to be honest, I was a little shocked when I saw all these news articles on the blog and then I just started laughing....it could be a lot worst...one day, people won't care about what I write in my little blog so trust me, it's all good.

Anyways, let's get a few things out of the way right off the bat. On the album front, we are still writing every single day. We have so many different song ideas...more choices than we ever had on our 2 last records. I'm still super stoked about everything but we're gonna have to start making some tough choices and narrow down the number of songs pretty soon. It's exciting. There's some songs that really have the SP sound but we're also taking some chances, pushing ourselves further and trying out things we never did before. Don't worry...we'll keep you in the loop of everything and we'll have more specific details soon.

Ok...more news for you guys. Some of you might know that before Simple Plan, Pierre, David and I were all part of a band called Reset. The band released 2 records: No Worries in 1997 and No Limits in 1999. A lot of you guys have been asking us at shows where you can find those CDs, if they are still available...etc. I've even seen quite a few of these babies on eBay and even at some SP signings so I know some of you have found them already.

Well, after being approached by our friend Phil (Reset's guitar player) and Matt Smashers (Planet Smashers' singer and owner of Union Label Group, Reset's label), we decided it would be a good idea to re-release those 2 albums. So, almost 10 years later, we're gonna put those records out again! Honestly I'm pretty stoked about this! It's kinda crazy to think that some of you guys out there care about what we did when we were 16 years-old...crazy, but very flattering as well. We are extremely proud of what we accomplished with Reset and that's why we're excited about those songs being heard by a whole new bunch of people.

So here's how it's gonna go down: We're only doing this for the die-hard fans of Reset and SP. We're doing a limited release in Canada only to start...limited quantities, no single on the radio, no video...totally low-key and just for the real fans. We decided to combine the 2 albums on one CD (with new artwork!) that will come out around Nov. 14^th, I think....don't quote me on that date, still unofficial. We're probably gonna do a digital release as well for everybody outside Canada....still working on that. Anyways it should be fun. We're excited about it! For almost 6 years, Reset was our lives just like SP is now. We toured, played with our favorite bands (Lagwagon, NOFX, Strung Out, Ten Foot Pole, Pennywise, Good Riddance...etc the list goes on!), made our first real records and had such a great time with that band. It was rad to sit down and listen to those songs again...brought back all kinds of good memories. I even went on youtube and found some live clips of the band....I couldn't believe it. We looked so young and our shirts were like XL....way too big!! Hahaha. So there you have it...we're gonna have all the official details on simpleplan.com soon, but I wanted to give you the scoop first.

I also like to keep you guys in the loop of what I've been listening to lately and I think this week I might get some flack and sarcastic remarks from you, my fellow readers. But hey, I'm an open book, I don't hide anything from you guys and I don't mind being laughed at so I will reveal to you my love for James Blunt! I went to his show at the Bell Centre in Montreal not expecting much and I was really blown away. He was fantastic. Great voice. Awesome band. Cool visual set-up on stage. He was funny and witty and dude....he had like 14,000 girls screaming for him. Pretty impressive. Lots of estrogen in the room let me tell ya... I loved the show and I started listening to his record more and it's dope. I really like "High" and "Goodbye My Lover". The lyrics are so good in that one. On a more masculine note, I'm totally obsessing over "Love like Winter" from AFI, such a rad song. They just made a great video for it and guess what....the concept revolves around snow, ice and cold weather. Genius. I really, really like that band....they are such nice and kind people that treated us so nicely when we did Warped with them a few years back. I saw them recently at Street Scene in San Diego and they were unbelievable!! I was on stage for the show and I didn't want their performance to end. It was so powerful. Def. check them out if they come to a city near you.

Last but not least, 2 quick but really important things. First, we want to feature you guys on our myspace page. This is a place for all our "friends" to come and hang and feel at home so we want you guys to send us pics you took with us or Pat, pics you took at our shows, pics of you rocking a SP shirt, cap...whatever you want! We want to see what you look like! We'll figure out a way to put them up on the main page. Send them to: spmyspace@gmail.com

Last thing...I've been reading some comments on the Invasion Crew board saying we are neglecting the IC in favor of our myspace page. Now come on!! Do you really think we could forget how amazing the IC has been to us? Seriously....absolutely impossible! I'm really sorry if any of the IC members felt like that for one second. We're just giving you guys a little break right now because we are in-between records and because you worked so hard promoting the band for the last 5 years. Trust me, the IC is here to stay! In fact, I was thinking we should have an official Invasion Crew myspace page set up. Also, I will make sure all the blogs are posted in the IC world from now on. And we're def gonna have a lot of cool exclusive stuff coming for you guys really soon. Maybe a sneak peak of some new songs??? Who knows?? I also still want to make sure that we set-up a way for all the IC members to meet at SP shows. As soon as we start touring again, we'll get that going. In the meantime, if you want to keep helping out and support SP, you can tell your friends to join the street team and add us as friends on myspace. Thanks again for being so cool to us and don't worry, we're still down with the IC and def are not forgetting you guys.

Alright....that was a long one....gotta run now. Talk to you guys soon.

Love.

Chuck.
