Marathon, here I come

Signed up for my first marathon today. So, fingers crossed that I`ll be able to finish on 9th September :)

I have had the idea since last summer, when I started training practically solely for it. I am a bit scared, but determined (stubbornly determined as I tend to be when it comes to things I want) to finish no matter the time. Hope all goes well. First race this year will be on next Friday in Rakvere (night run), this time 10km. And then the third (but second most important) competition this year will be Paide-Türi run in October.

In the meanwhile. Egypt. Andrew Buchan

It has been a while since my last post. Took some time off from everything to write my thesis (which turned out to be for nothing). Anyway. In the meantime..

Visited Egypt, Hurghada, with my mother. Were there for 7 days. This was a trip that was ment for resting not being cultural as I am used to. Though mom wanted to go, so there went nothing. Good food. Walked around a bit. Took photos. Did not get to see the pyramids unfortunately.

Andrew Buchan

Andrew Buchan replied. Sent him a letter to the theatre he was performing in. This is my second letter to him and the first time her relpied.

Example

Finally I managed to see Example. Made two drawings in hope of getting them signed. Ended up with no autograph and lost the drawings. That was heartbreaking.





And then I got to see Michael Bublè. That has to be the best concert I have been to. He was absolutly brilliant. And I was lucky enough to get his abutograph









And met P.C. Damn it is with me and finding the ones who are unavailable.

My 2011

Another year gone. Though I am quite happy with things (even though life is not that easy for a lot of people, me included, but still happy)


So, 2011:
Ran 585 km (from April to the end of August) and 71 hours (from September to the end of the year). Aiming to run a marathon next year.
Made 59 drawings (give or take one or two)
Visited 4 countries (the Netherlands, Sweden [even if it was only Stockholm], Finland [only Helsinki] and Wales)
Saw 2 concerts (Linkin Park in Helsinki and 30 Seconds To Mars in Tallinn. Well I did see up to hmm.. 10`ish Estonian performers as well)
And got to read some incredible (and some not so incredible, maybe even dreadful) books.
Good music
Good TV shows (my newest discovery: Once Upon A Time)
Work was good (had work, even that is good nowadays)
Met some brilliant people in life, online

Of course had some pretty (pretty darn) bad (and depressing) things too, but no point focusing on them. And still waiting for my Prince Charming :)

So quite enjoyable time this year. Let`s see what new year brings

Playing with colours and some

Finished my second coloured pencils drawing today (of a face that is). And then possibly two of my favourite drawings this year (along with some already posted and some I did not post, but are on Facebook/DA).

Tim Roth

Bublèishious winter

Michael Bublè is coming to Tallinn on 21st April 2012 :) I couldn`t believe my ears when I heard it. And I got my ticket today. Though it was more expensive than Linkin Park`s concert in Helsinki (including the ship and the hotel!) I intend to make a drawing of him and do my very best to get his autograph.

I have been running a lot lately. Intending to run a marathon eventually. But for now 4x1 hour and 2x2 hours per week. I have managed to strain my knee. If it gets worse I..

Example

Lately I have discovered Elliot Gleave (Example). His music that is. I do not listen to that kind of music. At all. But I do adore men with hmm.. low voices. And his voice is divine. And now I can`t stop listening to him.

Elliot is having an European tour next year, but no, he is not coming anywhere near here. Tallinn I mean. Helsinki would do. Riga. But he is going to be in Stockholm. If only I had someone to take with me. I couldn`t possibly go alone. Ohh, I am actually really happy with the way my drawing of him came out. I tweeted it to him as well. Without any reply. Figures

And I hate twitter. Giving the illusion I could actually communicate with some of my idols, just share a few lines but no one replies to me. I just don`t get it. I am always polite, trying to show my support. They reply to everyone else it seems, but I can tweet and get back nothing. The only person who has tweeted back is Ryan Kelly. I just don`t get it.

Tom Riley vol 2

So, after hmm.. two months of waiting I finally was lucky enough to get Tom Riley`s reply :) Not only that, I do already have a letter and an autograph from him, but his latest letter (yes, he was so very kind to write yet again) was even sweeter than the first one. I guess no one could top his letter but himself.

I am so grateful to him. Wish I could tell him. Just saw a girl travel to London to see his play. If only I had enough money to do that. Though that woulnd`t mean I could get to see him. Perhaps one day




And I finished another drawing of him

Happy :) Met Märt Avandi

So excited right now. I met Märt Avandi today :) Went to see his and Lenna Kuurmaa`s concert. Well, I went to see him, my second celebrity crush (a) He is a wonderful actor, so funny when he wants to be and has got a beautiful voice while singing.

I had managed to complete his drawing and got his autograph on it. I said that I actually had two of his autographs already that I got last year in Rapla. He said he remebered those drawings (being nice or actually remembering, it was so cute of him). Then he asked where to write and if it is a pencil drawing. And he looked at me. I know, I am like a silly schoolgirl right now, but I don`t care.

Tobias Menzies replied :)

Tobias Menzies

Tobias Menzies replied to me :) I am so happy. I have one previous reply from him as well, then via agency, this time via a theatre.

Ruth Wilson replied too :) I wrote to her to a theatre she is performing in.

Twitter and not so good times

Joined Twitter at last. I have thought I will never do that, I mean, what have I to say that would interest anyone? But gave in. Joined it to follow people :D Creepy thought. I am just tired of searching for some peolpe`s posts via google so now I am following them. Not in a creepy way at all.

The weather has been rainy. It`s like, I can`t live in Scotland/Ireland so their weather is bought here. But I want the mountains. And to hear that gorgeous language. The heather. Sheep.

Training has been hard. This is the one thing I have enjoyed recently. At least I can feel alive. Other than that.. Things have been better. Way better.
