When things really do happen to you it's like watching television
- you don't feel anything.

Andy Warhol

and that describes perfectly how my life's been lately.
luckily I've got some tips for how to get along with that feeling of emptiness:

* go to tumblr & reblog x ∞
* make up until you forget your own existence
* eat all the chili you can find & cry (or just chop some onions)
* sleep
and the last but not least:
* read Andy Warhol quotes
(...instead of making your life a mess I mean.
my new years resolution: avoiding all things messy.)

The end of my manic December. and the whole year ofc, but there's no point saying that as this month I've been more energetic than during the previous 11 months altogether.

Not much to say about Christmas. Started reading a book called Swimming Underground - My years in the Warhol Factory by Mary Woronov for the second time this year. Everyone who admits to be an escapist should read it, or maybe particularly not. At least this book is not going to let me sleep tonight ~

Jouduin tänään kohtaamaan sen tosiasian, että nyt löydettyäni elämäni kengät (Jeffrey Campbellin Meekerit) en tule enää koskaan innostumaan muista kengistä samalla tavalla. Puolipakottauduin kuitenkin ostamaan hieman talviystävällisemmät jalkineet 5,5 sentin platform-korolla, ja vaikka kovasti tykästyinkin mietityttää että onko niissä tarpeeksi sitä jotain tyydyttämään kenkänälkäni tältä erää... innostuin testiajamaan ne kävelymatkalla Kamppi-Kumpula ja nyt on jalat verellä. Huvittavaa, että noi on täsmälleen sellaiset kengät mitä toivoin alle kouluikäisenä joskus 90-luvun lopulla.

Mulla on hassu tunne, että kaikkien niiden odotusten mitä Patrick Wolfin keikalle olin asettanut, pitäisi siitä kirjoittaa jotain. Mutta valitettavasti ei ole kauheasti sanottavaa, ja uskon ettei se mene pelkästään oman väsymykseni ja ylisuurten odotusteni piikkiin. Koko keikan odotin että Patrickin energia tulisi esiin ja yleisö sekoaisi, mutta siihen päästiin vasta encoren aikana jos silloinkaan. Oli tietysti upeaa kuulla livenä esimerkiksi Tristan ja Pigeon Song. Muuten keikka meni omalta osaltani jossain hämmentyneen sekavassa kuplassa.

iPhone/instagram-otos by me

Kone ja netti eivät tee yhteistyötä tälläkään hetkellä, joten postaan iPhonelta enkä jaksa muuntaa ajatuksiani kansainvälisille kielille ilman nettisanakirjan aktiivista tukea.

Luulin että olen maailman paras nukkuja, mutta sitten tuli tämä viikko. Yleensä nukun sujuvasti 10-13 tunnin yöunia ja usein monen tunnin päiväunia, mutta tällä viikolla olen kyennyt sammuttamaan itseni vasta pari tuntia sen jälkeen kun olen kuullut hesarimiehen kolistelevan rappukäytävässä. Tiedän että olen väsynyt ja höperöitymässä, mutta en saa virtaa poikki. Olin sitten yksin tai en, oli internetyhteyteni toiminnassa tai ei, en löydä mitään intressiä asettua aloilleni ennen kuin kohtaan sen faktan, että muu maailma on jo juonut aamukahvinsa ja matkalla töihin. Toisaalta huolestuttaa että mitä tapahtuu tällaiselle suuren unentarpeen omaavalle ihmiselle näin, mutta toisaalta en edes halua pysähtyä, tuntea väsymystä ja muuttua omaksi flegmaattiseksi itsekseni.

Positiivista levottomuutta minussa herättää ~~pienesti~~ se, että Patrick Wolfin keikkaan on enää 3 päivää aikaa! Toivon että pysyn tolpillani siihen asti.

NOTE: En tiedä miksi miellän hesarinjakajat miehiksi.

// My mind is too stuck to translate all that due to my sleeping troubles. This week I've been sleeping only about 4 hours a day during the morning hours. That's something completely new to me, as I usually sleep 10-13 hours a night. I can't shut myself down, and sometimes I don't even want to, because then I would feel all the fatigue and be just phlegmatic again.

One reason to feel ~~a little~~ restless (in a positive way) is that I'm going to see Patrick Wolf play live in 3 days!

oh boy

I'm still having some problems with my network at home, but a lot has happened since last time I posted.

I applied to a make up school. Yesterday I went to the interview/entrance examination and at the moment I walked into the interview room I heard Culture Club's song from the radio. Later I realized that it was Boy George who influenced me to learn about make up when I was younger.

Today I would like to thank him because I got selected to the school. I'm super happy because it feels like I'm doing the right thing now, for a change. Can't wait to start the studies.

do you know that enormous craving for eye candy?

collected from my tumblr likes. it might be too many pictures for one post but I don't let it bother me now. a bigger problem is that the wireless network hasn't been working on my own computer for days. I don't like to be this addicted to the internet. x

Life's so tragicomic.
Once you think you know something, life's going to prove you wrong.
And once you think you've got through hard times, life's going to put you to a test

August / had just moved to my new flat!

Today I was wondering what is this blog all about. And I came to this conclusion:
this blog is nothing more than making a space look as me as possible
if that makes any sense
I kinda started to miss my old blog named Space factory, even though I almost started to hate that name at one point. It was supposed to be a mix of some Bowie and Warhol, but later on it started to sound silly to my ear and I got rid of the whole blog. Note: after I had managed to ruin the layout...
Anyway, here I go again, I don't know exactly what is this for but I do know from experience that I feel empty without this kind of a space for expressing myself.

...why are all my sentences so damn long.

Maybe I should enlighten some things about myself as this blog is going to present the world from my point of view:
* this is what I like to see
* I do arts. By that I mean that I aim to create things that are visually attractive. Drawing, painting, sketching, as well as make up & combining pieces of clothing, etc.
* I don't know exactly what I want to do as a job, but again, at my job I want to be able to create something visually attractive. I'd like to study aboard.
* I'm living in a studio flat with my one-eyed dog.
* I'm fed up with Finland. I haven't travelled much but I'm planning a trip/trips to Europe. I'm into couchsurfing and willing to meet some new faces!
* my biggest loves are David Bowie, Patrick Wolf & Andy Warhol
* I also lovelove music by Antony and the Johnsons, IAMX, Hercules and Love Affair, Lou Reed, James Blake, Pet Shop Boys, Gaga, just to name some

Oh this seems so ego centric and narcissistic almost... But well I guess it's impossible to blog without being a little bit of those.
