Today, on December 30 I turn 22 years old!!

This update is not ment to be anything else, but fun. I did the first panel with markers using traditional ways. I spend maybe 30 minutes with it, but I didn't actually watch on the time so I'm not sure. The two other panels I sketched with the comp and using my new tablet. I'm no good with the comp, but I think they work well enough in this. They are no ment to be well done.

Viator is 21 so that's why I'm nagging him there. I'm terrible at drawing hats. I think I drew one like this last in 2001. This picture of me has a lot of things taken from the real-me. I have an Australian brown hat which is in a way my trademark. My sibling and friends always recognize me among folk if I have that hat on. They aren't too common in Finland. Especially for a girl to wear! I do have freckles thought it's sun that really brings them out. I have this habit of walking around keeping my hands in my back pockets. If I don't have back pockets I'll have them in the front pockets. If I have no pockets at all I feel unkomfortable. My usual clothing is a simple T-shirt (which often has some picture on it) and jeans. And I like to dress in over sized clothes. Also, I hate to go to public with a shirt that has no sleeves or with shorts. I do go out with them sometimes, but it needs to be really hot! Thought, I don't like warm weather so hot for me is different than for many.
Oh, and I do have a naturally curly hair which sometimes naturally make corkscrews. It's rare to see me in a skirt, byt the way. I own two skirts. One is a scottish kilt and the other I bought last summer when all my pants were too hot and I still didn't want to wear shorts. Both of the skirt are long ones :P

That's enough about my dressing. However, I don't hate getting older so this update is about that. Another thing… I often were the youngest in many groups and most of my friends are older that me so I always feel a bit happy when I find out some people are actually younger than me. Maybe the reason for this is as well that I'm the youngest where I work. Most people of my age are still studying fulltime. I know I'm not too short, but I always wanted to be tall (mainly because I stopped growing for many years when I were a kid). But I didn't get tall. I didn't even get taller than my mother or sister. I'm like the shortest in the family (almost at least) if we don't count kids. I call this a complex of mine. I always get happy (and I'm not afraid to show it ^^') when I meet an adult shorter than me! I don't use shoes with heels so I don't get taller that way. And it wouldn't be the same thing. And no, it's not helping when people say that when you are not a tall woman you have a lot more men to choose from!

I'm getting out of hand again with this. I write so quickly with the comb so these things get long easily. Especially when I don't think long what I'm gonna write.

Now, couple of news.
I opened the settings page for TOE at the homesite. It's still very much unfinished, but if what I already have there brings you questions please ask me. I really want to know what information is good to bring up there.

NEXT UPDATE WILL BE ON JANUARY 7!!!!

Be sure to be back then.
Well, don't get too crazy on New Year! I won't. I spend it at home like usually ;)

I hope you understand the text I wrote with the tablet. If not, here is what reads in the panels.
1st panel: Now I'm older than you!
2nd panel: A girl who get's happy when she gets older?
3rd panel: 22 is a nice age. I can't get taller in reality so let me enjoy being older than you.
