I'm back, netizens!

And I've had a pretty eventless day. My sleeping cycle is totally fucked up, even more so since I got around downloading Star Wars: The Old Republic which I've been meaning to do. I've heard so many good things about this MMORPG that, well, I thought about giving it a shot. I've only played World of Warcraft and Aion: The Tower of Eternity as far as MMORPGs go, so I wasn't expecting much in the game side of things. I was expecting the same template and same questing devices etc, since Aion and WoW are pretty similar when it comes to in-game playing. I was really surprised to find, that SWTOR has a different kind of a way to accept quests. It's kind of a storyline, where the questgiver starts telling you about the quest you're about to accept, and you get to choose from multiple answers to different questions! I've never personally used this kind of a thing in MMORPGs, but I sure do love it over the normal kind of quest accepting. I usually just skip reading the text and see where to go from the map, but SWTOR cancels it out and you have to actually pay attention on what your mission is. And I'm loving it. They even keep it nicely compact so that you won't get bored out of your mind. You can also act according to the faction you chose ( Jedi's are the goodies and Siths the baddies, ofc ) or just go nuts with choosing answers. I, myself, made a Sith warrior, a lightsaber/melee combat class, and I made her a total asshole, being a cunt to everybody and picking fights... And then I made a Sith Inquisitor, a caster type, and I made her more understanding and persuasive, rather than just a person who takes everything by Force ( get the pun? hahahah I'm so lame ).

Here's some in game footage. The upper one is before I completed my download fully, and it's the Jedi starting grounds, and me in the flying taxi. I prefer the green forest the Jedi starting place offers to the dead desert redness that Sith starting place has, but damn, Sith are more interesting. And fit my flow more. In the picture below, I'm playing my Sith Warrior level 9, DARTH KIRIELL. Super coooooool. You can also see her not-so-loyal companion, Vette next to her. She is the embodiment of sass, and I freaking love her. I wish I could play her race, I've loved it since I watched Star Wars and one of the Jedi council was of her race ( if I remember correctly, don't shoot me ). 

This game has occupied most of my time, plus taking my very lovely doggy out in the wintery Finnish fields, so that she won't shred everything in our house apart. Oh, before I forget, here's a work in progress. I've been meaning to make a new tattoo to get when I turn 20, and I've got my sights set on a dragon design. I'm narcissistically fond of my own dragon designs, not really into the Chinese ones. It's a plain Western dragon, but with feathers'n'shit. This is not a ready design yet, but hopefully I'll get around finishing it!

Anyway, I'm off to bed, keep yourselves classy ladies and gents!

Hello world,

I managed to steal my dads iPad, so forgive me if there's retarded mistakes and spelling errors. This device was not made for blogging. I know there's an app for this but God help me, I can't download it due to this piece of trash being password protected. Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to get a tablet before my 20th birthday. I'm supposed to get a laptop too, since I'll hopefully be attending Helsinki University department of modern languages. Gonna need that lappy for coursework.

Speaking of school, I've been wondering, why is it that a growing part of adolescents think that education and learning in general is somehow bad? I mean I understand that not all are cut out to read books and that sort, but I know a huge amount of people who are ready to quit after they're done with middle school. I, for one, had no specific relationship with school throughout the time before high school. I barely studied and still my grade average was 8.6/10. Then, when I decided on high school instead of vocational school, things went downhill due to my health changing and school work taking its toll. All in all, high school was a terrible time for me. The only thing I gained were some amazing people in my life. Even if I faced high school with hatred, I never thought about stopping there or switching to vocational school.

My biggest dream has been to study my way into the top University of our country, and getting my masters degree in English translation and linguistics. I wanted to see the world, get a great job with an international translation company and focus my work on books. Then, a year back, I though; "Why stop there?" And so I decided, that once I'm accepted into an university, I'll head to South-Korea and Seoul University in order to start studying Korean linguistics as well. Asia has been close to my heart a long time, and I thought about combining my passions together.

I'm not the one to dream of a family and kids and I realized this a while back. When in a relationship, I tend to try too hard unconciously to become a housewife, and I never had any idea I was doing it. That being said, I ended up smothering my long term boyfriends and then breaking up with them because I felt I wasn't getting enough attention. It is only now that I realize it was my own fault for trying to be something I'm not. Even if I do want a loving, wholesome relationship one day, I am much more driven by achieving things in the career side of my life. I guess I'm a bit self-centered that way.

Well said, Mister Mandela.

Okay, rant over, I'm sorry but I thought about opening up about this. It's my blog after all. Either way, I'm writing this from the depths of my bed at 0.12 AM. This new found eagerness for blogging has downright killed my sleeping cycle. I'm thinking about playing some Darksiders II, now that I'm still awake. That game is soooo addicting. Thank you for reading, keep yourself classy!
