Wheeeee 8D

Hello Closeteers!

Not a comic just yet but just wanted to let you aaaaaall know that I'm now the proud owner of closet-inc.com! :D
Now, if any of you have good skills with CSS or website designing altogether.... contact me, because I feel like bashing my own head in the screen >_>

Ow.

Ugh, my neck hurts.
But hey, I'm back :D

My tour of Europe (short and not the whole thing) was quite fun but tiring. I'm now back in Quebec, with no job, still with my parents (-__-) BUT holding a contract that should allow me to go back to Finland as an au pair. Finally.

Celebrated (not really) my 24th birthday on Friday (yayNOT) by not doing anything. It's kinda awful to see high school friends have babies when I don't even know on which continent I'll be living next year.
But well, it is the life I chose, and I have no little regrets.

I'll take this line to remind you that if you have Failbook, I post random stuff there (rarely drawings, but it happens) and you can watch it HERE.

I have drawn a few comics on my travels, but some will probably not be published. The reason? The joke is WAY to much of an insider. It would take AGES (no, really, 3 whole days) to explain it, and yet since (most of) you weren't there, it wouldn't be as funny.
Also, I am reminding myself that now that everyone pimped my drawings out to the Finns I draw, I have to watch what I publish :) I still have at least 2 comics, beside The Table, that I will definitely put up, possibly 3. And I have other ideas.

But! I also have to find a job, and have a job, and earn money, and do something with my person. *pulls Waury in the picture - that is my person 8D*
So it might take time. I'm actually amazed that The Table was redrawn and arranged all on the same day. But it's good.

In other news! I have pimping to do.

The 69 Eyes's new album and North American tour. I was quite surprised with the sound of Back In Blood, the x'th Eyes' album. It's a it of a change in my opinion, but I liked it :) They are starting their North American tour tomorrow (October 5th) in San Francisco, with The Becoming and Dommin. I do believe they're headlining this time, but I've had trouble finding definite info. But! Check their tour dates for the ones nearest you ;)

Also, Twitter! All warm from being created moments ago =)

That's all for now, I guess.
Looking forward to hear from you, Closeteers!

Short post to say hi :)

And tell you all that I'm still alive, even though I have given no news for like, a month. And more.

I'm currently in Austria, leaving in 2 days to go back to Finland for a week. I went through Funland already, then England, then Netherlands, then Germany. And after Nightwish and Apocalyptica at the Hartwall areena in Helsinki, I'll be spending some time in Copenhagen :) And possibly a day trip to Stockholm :)

I cannot thank my friends enough for their hospitality and kindness through all of my trip. I had a LOT of fun and, even if I still don't quite know what's going to happen next, I'm optimistically tiptoeing through the tulips.
I don't know what that means. Michi just told me to write this cause she's reading over my shoulder.
But yeah. Things are going to be fine. Here's a weirdly colored tulip.

Oh, and, I have lots of things to do when I go home, closet-wise. New button badges, a Failbook comic, and a closet application... and yes, still, the website to redesign -___-

Now! Chocolate and iced tea and false-jaffa cakes!

Cheers!

Adieu!....not.

Dear Closeteers,

Sooooo.
In 24 hours, I'll be over the Atlantic, on my way to Reykjavík.
Time went by so fast.

My current travel plan is as follows:
Finland for a week, then UK for 12 days. 5 days in the Netherlands, 5 days in Germany, a week in Austria, another week in Finland, then a week in Denmark.
Fun much?
Hell yeah.
Best in all of this, is that I get to see almost all of my friends from last summer (I'm going to miss you Caitlin :'( ) =D
Granted, less Finn stalking, but honestly, we don't even need to see them to make comics up, sooo...

I don't have a long list of comics to put up during my leave this year, sadly. I'll have regular internet access though, and I'll try to wrist as often as possible to share some funnies and stories.

My return shall see new comics hopefully, a new site eventually and most likely, FINALLY buttons to be bought. 8)

So, have a nice end of summer, take good care of yourselves!!
<333

So the verdict falls....

...and my residence permit application is denied.
I don't have the full version yet, my papers will come in next week - with the return of my passport.

You can imagine, this came as a full hit to the face. But, I'm a ninja cat, and have already sprung back on my paws and off to a new path again. So, starting August 9th, until September 27th, I'll be traveling across Europe. Finland, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Denmark. 7 weeks across 6 countries. Fun =D

The new site isn't complete, and will not be before I leave. I have yet to decide what to do upon coming back (home-wise, work-wise, studies-wise) so it'll depend on a lot of things.

So yeah, I was pretty crushed this morning when I got the news, but I'm (amazingly) more than ok now. I'll keep you all posted =)

Take care, Closeteers!!
