iceofwolf noticed my last journal is very old and decided to fix that. Thus, a meme.
10 things about me:
1. I have grown my hair long since I was three years old. While I sometimes cut the ends I don't really comprehend the idea of cutting my hair short. The extremely long hair is a very intrinsic part of who I am.
2. I haven't used hair ties in a while and now fasten my hair with ribbons. I'm not sure if ordinary hair ties really made my hair ends that much thinner or my hair just decided that it is so long it might as well act old-fashioned.
3. I've done NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, must write 50 000 words of novel during November) five years in a row. I love it. Even if it drives me crazy every single time.
4.When I was little, I was a really picky eater. I didn't eat ketchup, mustard, honey, liquorice, mushrooms, carrots, beetroot, turnips, olives… a lot of things. I still dislike olives and beetroot.
5. I get upset when the books in my bookcase are not in the exact order. I change the order from time to time, but I still get very fidgety when someone puts a book in the wrong place. Same with pencils in their boxes.
6. I really dislike looking into a mirror in the dark. I don't fear darkness, though.
7. When I was a kid I wanted to become a nun. I am not quite sure why, since I never was really religious and what little Christianity managed to cling to me wore off by the time I was ten or so.
8. I love Boolean algebra. Especially Karnaugh maps. I think Karnaugh maps are beautiful. (Yeah, I'm a nerd.)
9. My favourite historical person is Eleanor of Aquitaine. I read about her in French class and was impressed from the beginning.
10. I read a lot, but I don't really have a favourite book. I do have a top five.
10 questions for me:
1. What kind of questions do you like being asked?
The ones that make me squirm a bit, or at least exercise my brain.
2. What are you supposed to be doing instead of answering this question?
Homework.
3. What is... damnit, now I have to think of real questions. What is your favorite YouTube video?
I don't really have one.
4. What is one movie you want more people to see? Not necessarily your favorite movie, just one that you think people should watch for some reason. (Note that I will probably end up watching it, so no pr0n!)
The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky. I am the kind who thought it deep. And, well, if it isn't deep for you, it has beautiful visuals.
5. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Night. Definitely night. I can get up early, too, and have a tendency to go to sleep late and wake up early(ish) until I crash and sleep 12 hours in a row.
6. Do you listen to music in languages you can't understand?
Yes. I usually start listening music because it is beautiful and don't really think about the lyrics.
7. What is one odd habit or quirk of yours?
I have a tendency to start dividing a number into its divisors. Any number. Page numbers when I read books, numbers on street signs… and I usually do it without thinking about it.
8. Cats or dogs?
Tough one. I like cats more, but after two hours in their company they make me sneeze and my nose starts itching horribly. I suppose it is an allergy, although the tests they did when I was little didn't catch it. No such problem with dogs.
9. What is something you really, really wanted — and got?
Hum. I'm not quite sure. Some things I shouldn't have wished for, among others?
10. What is your favorite scent?
Cinnamon, I think.
10 questions for you:
1. Coffee or tea? If tea, green or black?
2. Sounds or scents?
3. Who is your favourite artist?
4. What book would you recommend to everyone?
5. Is there such a thing as sin?
6. What will the future be: dystopic, utopic, or something between these two?
7. Do zodiac signs have any influence on people?
8. What is your motto?
9. Do you fear death?
10. What foreign languages do you speak?

Please be so kind and write ten little facts about yourself, answer my ten questions and think ten questions of your own. Tagging is optional, I suppose.

I'll write a proper journal... somewhen. Take care.
Nearly done
It's been a long, long time since my last really devious activity... three months since last poem and two since last journal. I've been studying... and then resting. And doing exams in between. I've gotten all the results by now. The lowest was 85% and the highest 96%, with the average 90,8%. (Yes, I did calculate it.) I'm pretty satisfied.
The irony is, of course, that I did one exam twice, last year and this year too. I got exactly the same result, 86 points out of 100. :D
I'm finishing high school this Sunday. Getting all the important papers and headmaster's speech and so forth. Bye-bye, Tallinn French School. More than once I thought y
I wrote an essay today
Exactly what it says in the title. I wrote my big and important essay today. The theme I chose was "How have the advancements in science and technics changed the people's image of world?" Or something like that, since translating things is hard. I hope it went rather well, but I will get my results in two months' time.
The next exam is going to be mathematics, May 4. Must study for that one, since I like maths (more or less), but the formulae are not especially fond of me.
The life has been more or less shiny... studying, role-play and other things. Sometimes busy, but not yet too busy.

How have you've been doing?
I'm... busy, I guess. The spring is coming and the exams with it. I realized I was mad enough to take five state exams. (We must take five exams when finishing high school, three of them must be state exams. These matter when going to university. Others can be school exams, those matter less and are there... well, they're there to make us study, or something. I'm not quite sure. If one wants to take more exams, s/he can do so, of course, and if said person thinks it was a stupid and tiring decision, it's too late.)
I took essay (that is compulsory anyway), maths, chemistry (again), biology and English.

NaNo approaching + winners of C and D contest
It seems that I update my journal once a month or so. It also seems to be quite proper length of time.
My wanna-be art block is leaving. I can poetze around if nothing else. There are probably some manips coming, but I am not quite sure, since NaNoWriMo is approaching frighteningly fast. I am mostly writing background information for my this year novel.
'Astrin's Daughters: Cause of the Red Wars'
Indeed, the title makes even myself smile. I originally named it 'Eskiriel: Red Wars', but later realized that Eskiriel is not intriguing enough to have her as a main character all the novel.
