Summer festivals, TV and money issues

It's Ilosaari Rock festival this weekend here in Joensuu. I don't even live in the centre of town, but I think my downstairs neighbour is having a party with her balcony door open. -.- Noisy! But it's Friday, so I'm not complaining.


I'll go tell them if they plan on continuing till one or two AM, though.


I hope the music's not coming from the festival, because if it is, it'll go on constantly, the whole weekend. And that won't do. I'd need earplugs.

I've recently really gotten into Doctor Who and by proxy into Torchwood. Because Jack Harkness. <3


I first thought he was a bit plasticky, but the man really grows on you. It's wonderful to see a character that can love anyone and anything, despite gender, race or species. I love the way he can make people feel needed and I actually think he loves every one of them. One of my friends called Jack omnisexual, or pansexual.


Pansexuality is love (sexual/romantic/emotional attraction) toward people of all gender identities and biological sexes. In Oxford English Dictionary pansexuality is defined as  "not limited or inhibited in sexual choice with regards to gender or activity."


I know this because I define myself as such, too. ;P




And then to Doctor Who. ^^'


Sometimes I wonder how the Doctor can like us humans... Come to think all the horrible things people do and have done in the series... Most of the stuff's really horrid, but still he likes us. There might be one or two people that are enormously brave and good, but then there's always ten stupid people making bad decisions... 


And as an end note. I absolutely love the way all kinds of love is treated as normal in both Doctor who and Torchwood. You can love a person of the opposite sex, and that's normal. You can love a person of the same sex, and that's normal, too. You can even love a creature of a different species, and even that is normal. Oh, how I wish that would sometimes become the reality!

I've been stressing about money a lot this summer... Because my work barely pays my rent... -.- Yes, my apartment is way too expensive, but it was all I could have when I had to move here. Anyway, a week ago I sent a request to get money from the Social Welfare and today they called me.


I had forgotten a few things from the application, but luckily I had just finished cleaning one place and had my lunch break coming. So, off to the bank I go... and then to the Social Insurance Institution and finally to take the papers into the social welfare office... *PUF* There went my lunch break. -.-
But I did get the money, so I'm not complaining, although I almost fainted in the last place I was cleaning. ^^'


So, I'll get the money on Monday, and won't have to stress for a bit, now. Besides my folks are coming over next week and I can't wait. <3


Okay, been up since half past five this morning, I think I ought to go to bed already. =.= But I want to draw!

  1. Glad to hear you've got money stuff sorted out for now! It's always so stressful with money...
    I should contact Kela too, and I'm postponing it as I just hate dealing with those people. :/

    Oww, summer festivals. They are so noisy.

    Shooo neighbor! I remember you've complained about them before. ^^; Hope they learn their lesson soon!

    Good night, hun. ^^ Have a wonderful time with your family!

  2. I hate going to the bank more. At least today it took me less than 15 minutes to get in and out of kela, and over half an hour in the bank. -.-
    Kela and the Social Welfare things were quick and easy, compared to the bank.

    And the neighbour isn't that bad. This is the first time since the time I had to go tell them to be quiet. Besides, I think the noise is coming from the town or from Ilosaari itself, really.
