One of the guys, but then again not

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 21:39:55 +0300

Mood: Lonely

The guys at work went to have a paintball match after work today, and I thought "Wow! I'd love to try paintball, I wish I could go along!" That led me to think about how I've started to feel lonely lately.

Ever since I started working in our company people have jokingly called me "one of the guys at the web department", as I'm the only woman amongst us. That's actually a very fitting hit at what I am: I feel more at home with the guys in my team than most of the women in our company, but I don't seem to be able to really become one of them. There's too much woman in me to be accepted in a fully male group, but there's too little for me to fit in with the girls.

About Japan, the quake, the tsunami and the situation at the Fukushima plant

Sat, 19 Mar 2011 00:25:13 +0200

Mood: Annoyed

I have several friends living in Japan and the country is my life-long love, so I've been pretty worried about the situation there since the quake. For the first days I had the BBC news playing in the background all day at work, but as they eventually started repeating the same things over, I moved on to just reading a few news feeds. Lately, though, even they are becoming useless. I suppose there isn't "enough to tell" about the situation, so many are now posting mostly comments from experts or politically important people, or official announcements from different countries. Everyone is keen on telling the world how THEY at least take care of their citizens and how THEY will check all their nuclear plants and how THEY are flying everyone back home.

Plan(t)s

Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:55:09 +0200

Mood: Happy~
Music: Some ominous zombie flash game J plays

My life seems to be filled with plans that never come to happen. Why? It's so boring~ I want to get renovating 'n' stuff!

Luckily, everything is possible in Minecraft ;)

Today, first time this year, it was light when I got on the morning bus. The spring is coming! I want to plant stuff. I wonder if I still have seeds left from last year...

Happy Valentine's!

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 01:42:12 +0200

Mood: Yay~

I remembered it's the weekend before Valentine's a bit late again :D However, here's a quick card that has nothing to do with the theme~ It's based on a photo of a steam punk girl, which I got from the internets. You can see I got bored before I finished the gun and the background, though X)

How I forgot how to have fun

Wed, 2 Feb 2011 22:13:01 +0200

Mood: Trying to get to the bottom of it

I think it's been going on for about a year. It was probably triggered when I started working full-time instead of the 4,5 hour days I had before. I don't want to blame it on that alone, though – I don't think the change was caused by the amount of work per se, but rather the shifted balance between the at-work mindset and the off-work mindset, and the subsequent effects on how I think as a whole.

This boy was so cute in the ad that I had to draw him!

Why do you always notice the lopsided eye right after you've scanned the image? You see it small on the computer screen and all the proportional mistakes flash to your face.

Christmas calendar - day 19

She was a lot prettier in the picture. I think the left side of the face (right from your point of view) is off here, mainly because of the eye. Very nice lips, I enjoyed drawing them.

Mmm, profiles...

Christmas calendar - day 17

She was freaky on the cover too, so don't put it all on me :D Those horrible leather gloves that made her hands look deformed, and the black make-up, and...

Back to jewelry images, they have the best models. It appears that fur hats are so in this season.

Today is my day off after an exhausting week, so here's an old sketch instead of a freshly drawn one :)

The smile of the century. It reminds me of Barbie, so does the hair.
