the life of iresi

This week I finally went to go shopping. I'm going shopping next week too with a friend but I couldn't hold myself. I just had to take a look because it has been too long time since I bought something new and it feels like everything I have is getting worn-out but my biggest need is new pants. So that was my main-target but of course as usual when you look for something specific you won't find it... I tried maybe four pair of jeans and all of them were too tight although I didn't take that small sizes and I'm so skinny that my ordinary pants feels big... it feels like something is wrong... but well there were one pair that I could wear but they felt too tight on my swollen left knee so in the end I didn't buy them anyway. I like to use things I buy directly so even if I would be able to wear it in a few months I don't want to wait for my knee to get less swollen. I might buy those pants when my knee is "normal" again. So buying pants was a bad idea.
I also tried out shoes, which was also a bad idea since I must have flat shoes that are easy to walk in right now. Of course I found a pair of really wonderful shoes that I really wanted but didn't know when to use them :/ I was sensible enough to decide that now was not the time to buy them... maybe later on. Besides I don't think I had my discount card with me. I got a card in that shoe store so I could get 10 % off.
I usually get cards and stuff in clothes stores as well.
I did find two very nice sweaters though :) So I didn't get home empty handed. I bought them at N.Y Collection. A small store that usually have sales and doesn't have many customers but I always go there late after work anyway so. But I found many nice and different kind of clothes there so it is one of my favorite stores :)

I do like shopping but I don't like the overconsumption. I try to be as environly-friendly in my living as I can and I'm probably worse when it comes to shopping. I think I should go to second hand stores more often because sometimes you can find real cool stuff there. Like one T-shirt I bought in a second hand store near where to where I live. That's what I would recommend people to do. To go to second hand stores. I have a lot of clothes and some of them I haven't even used. It is a waste so I thought at least i should take pictures of them and well if I never use them I should donate them to second hand stores. Maybe someone else will use them.

Today I also tried something new. I tried using my new camera stand and the self timer on the camera. It was really fun. It felt like I was a model :P But gosh how hard it is to do good poses... I have no fantasy... it looks easier on Top Model then it really is. But anyway it was fun to play with the camera. I will definately use it more :)

I guess the male aquantence who thought my thing was blogging about fashion and gaming was not so wrong after all :P Well I don't know about fashion... I like clothes, dressing up, taking pictures and games too so why not :) Although I will only write about StarCraft2 at the moment. I've been training on something in SC2 that I'm actually really proud over myself for... I'll show you later on...

Now for some photos from todays photosession! (I took so many pics that the battery died :P)


One of my new sweaters. I love it! Got a lot of striped clothes now...

 As expected I'm back to being stuck to a computer.... well... so what? I missed it :P I guess... But being away from all this was really nice too and I can't say I felt bad about being away from all of the things I'm used to. I have already adapted myself to the city life... as quickly as I adapted myself to life as it was a 100 years ago or even more... before the electricity... a long time before the TV or the computer was invented... even before you could get water from a water crane in your house... but the sad thing is that this is still how many people around the world are living today... I didn't really miss anything in the summerhouse in Åland... I never do. I love it there. Close to the ocean (for me it is an ocean anyway), close to the forest, close to the nature... birds, insects and lots of other animals... not a human in sight... except for you and the people you are there with and the people you can see when they pass by in their boats.... but I even get annoyed at some people in boats because they are driving to near I think... and too slow (and sometimes staring like I'm some kind of tourist attraction...) or they drive too fast and are too loud... but that is not the worst part.... the fuel they have in their boats is not very gentle for the environment... the great ocean... the wonderful ocean.... the ocean I will then go swimming in... the ocean where the fishes and the birds lives in... I become a hermit there... just want to be alone with the nature.... see it.. feel it.... protect it from danger... I even feel bad when an insect dies... I even get upset with my dad for killing insects... I keep saying that if you don't hurt them they won't hurt you... but well I know I'm not totally right... but what I feel is that if we love the nature it will love us too... if we let the insects have their life then most of them let us have ours alone too...

Nowhere else I can relax as much as I can there.... it is liberating to be so isolated and to be living such an easy life.

I saw a tree that I love.... no... I saw two trees that I love... one that was dead and one that was miraculously still alive.... The dead tree was like taken from a movie.... It would fit perfectly in any Tim Burton movie... a big beautiful dead pine tree... a ghost tree... if I had taken a photo of it in the night it would had been even better...



Well, I'll might show you some more pictures later... I have around 400 pictures to go through and I love my camera :) Ah... must go to investigate more things... it is so nice... I want to take close ups of everything.... I want to buy a telephoto lens and look like a paparazzi....

Lately I have been very busy at work and at the same time it has happened a lot of things after work.... I only have a few hours each day to relax... if even that... because when you get home you need to think about something to eat... Luckily I had some food I made a while ago in the fridge now so I didn't have to cook anything :P (And tomorrow I'll buy salad for lunch! :D)
It's been a hectic day.... I had two projects to deliver to the clients... I know I would not have much time... I asked one of my co-workers if she had time to help me in case I would need it. She said she had things to do... but that she had delivered her jobs for today....  I was stupid to decide not to ask her for help... but I guess I was also being a control freak and wanted to have total control of everything... so in the end it got really stressful... would had been ok if I could had worked overtime... but I had an appointment with the physical therapist at 5 pm... so when it was 4.50 pm I could rush out from the office and get onto my bike and ride to the next station.... then it got a bit stressful there too because I really wanted to make it before 7pm so I could check out system cameras and go and get the photos that I have ordered. So I should probably had trained more.... and had to skip the new exercises... then rush to the camera store... talked about cameras with the staff (but didn't feel much wiser... I'll guess I just go for the one I wanted in the first place) and got my photos and bought a photo album.... then I needed some food so I went to the supermarket... and then went by bike home with all the stuff.... (I always buy too much and get a lot of stuff to carry with me home...)

( Damn... I always writes too much and have to make these lj-cuts... )

I should go to bed now... but first looking at pictures! :D

And maybe people who are very active sleeps better?

At least I inherited from my dad that I find it easy to sleep, most of the time :) (While my brother and my mum is more of the calm type of persons that like to do everything in their own pace and never feel stressed but also have a hard time to sleep...)
