icecold and cool in other ways too.

My world got rocked when I realized that my last weekend in SD was coming! "What should I do? How do I wanna spend the last weekend in the US and A !?!" Luckily a couple of my friends had some plans and I was able to join them.. So I went to L.A!
Part of the plan was to go to see the (61ST Annual) Emmys! And some other stuff too.

One stuff being my very first icehockey match!
It was hard to believe that I'd go to my first icehockey match in CALIFORNIA! Considering the fact that I've lived the first 19years of my life in Finland!Anyways, there we went. It was awesome, of course. Even tho seeing how the finnish players in Anaheim Ducks(:Saku Koivu, Teemu Selänne & Petteri Nokelainen) didn't really pay attention to us 3.. Even though we had all kinds of signs and even a finnish flag. And they saw us. Thats for sure. They are so proud of themselves.. Wonder why.


It's not like they r superüberathletes and überrich and have all the looks. Despite that, I had fun.
And dont get me wrong.. I'm not disrespecting them! Oh not at all! I'm just disappointed!
I think they game was a good one. Some fights.. AND GOALS. But Anaheim lost the game 4-1.. Suckers. It was the Karma, boys! Next time pay some attention to the fans and maybe you will win. OR EVEN GET EVEN!





Some people seemed to be very engaged to this icehockey season opening time..(Not sure when the season really opens but it's about to open..I bet!)

It was soooo cold in the hall. Luckily I brought my San Francisco-hoodie with me. And luckily I didnt get sick. It's a real miracle actually..I was wearing sandals!


Before the match we saw the scene of the crime: the Nokia theatre were the Emmys were designated to be held the very next day! I felt a huge wave of happiness inside me when I touched the red carpet with my designer heels..wearing a designer gown and not so much fat.. This all in a half a second..in my mind. A girl can always dream you know.





After the match we went to Anita's apartment in Santa Monica (aaaw I love that place!) and had some margaritas..




...watched stupid videos from Youtube..ate tortilla chips and daim-bars from IKEA where we had gone earlier that day. Did I eat any $1 meatball-meals? Did I eat 20 meatballs and a lot of smashed potatoes plus gravy plus lingonberry? Maybe.

fuckfuckfuck

I'm in fucking F-land!
It's damn cold.
There r only about 10 TV-channels.
And most of them are Finnish..some are Swedish.
Everyone talks Finnish.
Everyone is Finnish.
And im so sick of all this already.
Can someone just come here and take me back to San Diego.
I need foreign friends.
I need life.
I need motivation.
I left my motivation to do things in So-Cal.
I have nothing to do here..
I'm still in Vantaa and I'm not going to Eura until saturday..

I cant wait to see my Nappi though..
and get back into my room..
see all my things there.
And my family.
But thats about it.
Thats not a life: seeing old things and spending a couple of happy days with your family. Then it just gets aaaaaall back to normal. To Status Quo.
I left too many things behind.

I'm not sure how I can handle this.
I need to get out. But I cant.
I guess I dont wanna go out.
It would just make me really realize what the fuck is going on..
And what is it thats going on over here? Well let me tell you if you dont know yet:
I'M IN FINLAND.

I'll try to post some pics. I try to take some so-called good pictures..
Maybe I can cheat myself to believe that maybe its not that bad after all.
Im in denial.
COOLIO!

hello reality.. It's me, Jonna. I'm just calling to ask what the fuck is happening!?

ok.
tomorrow 5.30 im leaving my home and going to the airport.
then 8am flying to Washington D.C
from there ill fly to Munchen
and then to Helsinki
yippee?

ps. how to pack bags efficiently? EASY! Just wash the clothes in the wrong temperature and they will shrink.. go me.

roadtrip part7. Monterey - Santee

This is really annoying: I dont feel like theres a lot of people reading my blog, but still I feel like I need to write it..And I need to complete my story about the Roadtrip! So here we go again..as shortly as possible.


Soo..after leaving SF, we drove to Monterey: the mecca of seaotters and other seacreatures. The town was very pleasant harbor-city with little boutiques. I liked it.
Although not seeing any of those famous seaotters pissed me off quite a bit..















The days of 'Sleeping in the car' were SO over! We stayed over at International Youth Hostel. And now.. I'm just mentioning, but doesnt YOUTH hostel mean that there should be YOUNG people? No offense to the old people, but cant you go to some old people's hostel or smt.. Anyway, the hostel was nice and no one broke any rules.. Or well, someone brought in a dog when everyone else was sleeping.. someone snored(yes, it was prohibited! hah!) and there was old people in a youth hostel(that wasnt prohibited.. I guess the hostel a) believes 'age is just a number' b) takes in anyone who is able to pay them..
We didnt have so much time to enjoy Monterey the next morning.. because we had to start driving towards LA and San Diego (= SoCal<3)..
It was so cold and foggy in the morning that some views that were supposed to look AAAAAAWWESOME werent AAAAAAWWESOME.. Just AWESOME.








We reached L.A in the afternoon, and then Marke dropped me to the Union Station where I took a train to San Diego. There my hostdad picked me up and I finally got back home. For a while at least.

I'm not crying over a guy, I'm crying over a jerk!

I've been neglecting my blog a little..
13th day(Thursday) I went to get the newspaper from the frontyard and found it. But I also found a balloon!!

He was so lost.. and nicely a week before my Birthday!
On Thursday and Friday I spent a lot of time with the kids here:

And later I rewarded myself with this piece of heaven:

On Friday night I watched I love you, man! It's just suchhhh a great movie! I need to buy it. Then I watch I love you, man + Confessions of a Shopaholic + He's just not that into you -movies IN A ROW. AAaww. Confessions of a shopaholic isn't a great movie but it's entertaining and cute. He's just not that into you is just 100% awesome. My favourite<3

This weekend was kinda fun.
On Saturday I had a meeting in Imperial Beach. Never been that close to Mexico! Ha. After the meeting I just sunbathed at the beach. Result: sunburn tummy, upper legs and butt. Übersuperbe! I had to pig out a little.. I bought a Kellog's mealbar, Blueberry-cream-danish (from 7-eleven), chocolate-covered pretzels and Smartwater. (Btw, I somehow love Smartwater's ad..maybe because there's Jennifer Aniston. Who is, btw, on the cover of the Elle-magazine's September issue, and she is looking goood!) First I dug my claws into the danish. MMMMMmmh. It was good. Then I ate the mealbar and took a sip out of my SmartWater. I decided to save the choco-pretzels for later.. I really shouldn't have done that!! Gosh, I really didn't think things. Chocolate-pretzels + heat= ? Well, melt chocolate and pretzels of course. Nice..

But at home I put it into the fridge and had chocolate-pretzels-cake! I'm such a cook!! I didn't eat it all so I'm having it today as well. Cool(..ish)
On the way back, at the San Diego- Coronado Bay-bridge, we had a little accident. It was totally NOT our fault! We were standing there behind the line as we waited the other cars move(yes, i <3 traffic)..but then suddenly I heard the brakes screeching behind us..and then a second later: A big bang! Of course the traffic started moving then, so the cars moved too..But we didn't. The guy from the car behind us, ran next to us and asked are we all alright? We said yep.. Then he said something like: "This's such a bad place here! Let's drive off the bridge and stop there when the bridge ends.. I'll meet you there!" We drove there, but he never showed up.. Or then he stopped somewhere else.. The car suffered only minor damages. Thank God for that!

(The hit on the corner is an old one.. )
In the evening I watched American Pie Presents: Band Camp. It was mm.. pretty bad really. But better than nothing. I was pretty bored. But in a good way. You know, like calm saturday night. No worries, no hurries. Love it.
Today I went to see G.I Joe. It wasn't really as good as I thought. Sure there was action but I felt it was like..too done. It wasn't like effortless. Just so planned and so "movie", not so much like a story. And the romance-part was just ridiculous! I was just rolling my eyes when they came back together. At least the girl was thrown into the jail. Some sense at least! But I'd still give it 2 ½ stars. And who knew that William Turner's father-in-law(Jonathan Pryce) would become THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES. And then get killed by Habib Marwan/Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo)! Great.
And wow, I almost didn't recognize Joseph Gordon-Levitt! He made me wanna see 500 days of summer again.. and again. I really need to see it again. And YOU have to see it..If you like GOOD movies.
