Shopping makes the wallet empty

We have been shopping all day, and I have spent about 150€.

Here is what I bought:

This perfume I saw for the very first time on the Danskebåten, which is a nick for the boats going between Oslo and Fredrikshavn, and Oslo and Copenhagen.
When I was little we went to Denmark every summer, and we took the boat to and from Frederikshavn. To we took the night boat, so we just ate and went to night club and watch whatever show they had that night, and then we went to bed.
On the way home I the boat sails during the day, so that's 8 hours stuck on boat with nothing to do. So we usually ran around the boat playing gambling machines and going to the tax-free stores. And there they had a perfume and makeup department. We ran around spraying perfume on ourselves until we stank perfume from the other end of the boat. And at this perfume department I once found this perfume, and all other perfumes were ruined for me forever.XP Almost XP
But I never had enough money for them, I was a child and I never really had money. And it was really expensive, so after Mom and Dad said no once, I don't think I ever asked again. I just stood there, longing for it.
And then when I got old enough to have enough money to buy it, it was gone. I had even seen it at one perfume shop at Aker Brygge in Oslo, but it was gone from there too. And I never found it again. Every perfume shop in every country I went I looked for it, and never found it.
But today. Today I found it. And it cost 37,70€. And then I found it at another store for 57 something €, so I felt that I had made a bargain^^,
So this perfume is kind of a big deal for me^^,
I am also searching for the Gwen Steffanie's Harajuku perfumes. Both because they are shaped like Kokeshi doll, and because I also had sort of the same deal with them, but not as much.
I saw them at a perfume shop at Egertoget in Oslo last summer I think. No, spring. And I told everyone I wanted it for my birthday, and no one gave it to me, so I saved to buy it, and when I went they were gone, and I couldn't find them anywhere. I had gone into the store every time I passed to smell them and look at them, and when I went to buy them, they were gone.=(
So I am gonna look for them now^^,

And I also bought socks, because I couldn't find enough to bring one pair for every day, so I bought more^^,

My shoes looks like I bled all over them. Remember I wrote that I that I painted the barn red. Well, I splattered paint all over my shoes.
So I bought new ones.
Also the other ones are sneakers and very warm, so now I bought some cooler shoes. But they need to be broken in, so I'll have blisters everywhere all week XP

And I didn't bring soap and shampoo and conditioner.
So I bought some. I got a necklace with the shampoo and a body lotion with the soap.

And I bough some really cute hair bands^^,

And then I bought some glitter nail polish, and there was this special offer that I didn't know about because the sign was in Finnish, so I got a nail file with buffer on the side, since I bought two things from the same brand.
I went back and bought back two eyeshadows from the same brand, but I didn't get another nail file, because I was to shy to bring the file, and the clerk didn't get it for me, and nobody dared to say anything. But I got two awesome really bright eyeshadows, which was why I bought them in the first place^^,

I bought some note books. And the topmost book is a day planner, to use for school and stuff.
I am addicted to notebooks. I have tons of them, and I buy cute ones whenever I find them, and I write in every single one of them. I rarely finish them thou, since I keep buying new ones^^,


And then we ate, and we got a bagel and a soda and a desert for 7,50€
We all got a doughnut thing, and they were really cute, so I made a collage. The heart one was mine, and it had something called pomade inside, which was very similar to the yellow stuff in the middle of solskinnsboller. It was really tasty^^,

I also drank a really tasty mandarin smoothie.^^,

I had yoghurt for breakfast also. I am already getting a little bit bored with yoghurt. Mission accomplished^^,
Coffee yogurt. It was not lactoses reduced, which is really annoying, because it was very tasty.

And peach and passion fruit yoghurt.

I have finished the kokeshi doll, but I had already taken out the memory card when I remembered that I had forgotten to take a picture of it, so there might come one tomorrow.^^,

5 o'clock in the morning, guess who's early and bright

Yeah, so usually I wake up at the crack of dawn. (That is, of course, when I don't sleep until noon XP)
So it's 6:11 AM. I didn't actually wake on my own thou. I had forgotten that my cellphone insists on setting your alarm clock to ring every day, instead of being content with just once XP
So of course it rang at 5:05 this morning X3

I have spent the morning constructively thou, taking pictures.

So here are some things I have bought.


A lot of Hello Kitty stash. Or rather an activities bag for bored little girls, and a tin of Chupa Chups with Hello Kitty on it^^,



Hello Kitty perfume. Boyfriend tells me I have bought a children's perfume, which might by right. (I have a dim recollection that it was in the children's part of the store.) He also said that I only bought it 'cos it's got Hello Kitty on it, but that isn't true, I bought it 'cos it smells of vanilla. The fact that the only reason I smelt it in the first place was because of the Hello Kitty stamp on the bottle is another matter all together XP


I bought earrings. I recently took out the silver rings that I have had in ears for God knows how long. A looooong time. And I have spent the last week or so trying to find some new ones. I finally did^^,


And that was all she bought. But she had yoghurt for a night-time meal. (As in something light to eat before bed so one does not wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Is there a word for that in English? Supper doesn't seem right for this.)
I don't know if you can see it, but it's pineapple flavoured.
What is the significance of this you ask? I am as of recently lactoses intolerant, and thus can't eat yoghurt. I never really was a big one for milk based products before (except for fine cheeses XP And whipped cream in cocoa of course), but when you can't have it, you just end up craving it.
And here in Finland they have a really wide (and cheap) selection of lactoses free and reduced food stuffs. So I have decided to eat yoghurt until I am sick of it so that I stop craving it.


I have started cross stitching again. Right now I am stitching a collection of Kokeshi dolls for the Gacha's. This is mine, as purple is my Gacha-colour^^,


This is what a real, live Kokeshi doll looks like.
They are a special kind of painted Japanese wooden dolls, which farmer's children had to play with. Now they are very popular all over Japan (and all of the Japanofile world XP)


On an ending note, this is the bed I woke up in.
The air mattress that I was supposed to sleep on had a hole in it, and was leaking air. They tried to tape it, with little to no success. We are buying something new today thou.
But to compensate of the increasing flatness of the mattress we first took an mattress cover and folded that double, and then we folded the mattress it self double, and then we put a beanie sack by the side of it, in case I were to roll off (it's the huge white and brownish thing. It's kind of old).
I slept surprisingly comfortable.^^, And I woke up completely rested^^, Even thou it was 5 in the morningXP

Finland here we come^^,

We are now sitting on the boat to Finland.
Yesterday I woke up at 1:30 AM, and tonight I only slept around 4 hours, so I fell asleep on the table in the restaurant where we ate breakfast, and then the Gachas bought me coffee, so now I feel all awake and rested again^^,
Gacha 1 said that I was really good at power-napping, which I kinda agree with. When I am so tired that I feel like I am falling asleep standing up, I just lay my head down on the table and nap for 10 minutes, and then I am all awake again=D=D

Our hotel was really nice, we had a little kitchen and everything. Which of course we didn't use, since we were there just to sleep a few hours before going to the boat.

I was so afraid of missing the boat, because I had a walker's ticket (as opposed to one with a car), and I had to walk to the check-in area all by myself. Gacha 2, 1.2 and 4 helped me find it, and then I walked there on my own.
I was starving so I bought myself some toast with ham and cheese. I am getting some penalty for that cheese thou, I have a slight stomach ache XP

Now I am gonna read some more Septimus Heap=D=D

One hour 'till lift off

I one hour and 30 minutes my train leaves for Stockholm.
I have movies and cross stitching and DS and a book. And loads and load of candy and fruit and soda and chips. You know, in case I get peckish. XD
So I am all set^^,
Ready. Set. Lift off!!!!

Finland away *flying motions*

So, in about 10 hours I leave for Finland. We are going to Turku.
Or, rather, I leave for Stockholm. I am riding the train for 6 or so hours all by my lonesome. I have filled up on movies and cross-stitching supplies.^^,
I have been awake since 2:30, and I buzzed. I am gonna fall asleep the second I sit down on the train...XP

Tipsy Britney

Okey, don't kill me now please.
I have had a Mai Tai tonight. One, mind you. And I am not drunk or anything, just a wee bit tipsy. I have the alcohol tolerance of a really tiny small something with low alcohol tolerance XP
But I was sitting on Spotify just browsing, and for some odd reason I started listening to Britney Spears. And you know what? I actually like some of her non-single songs. At least some of the ones on the In the Zone album.
