@twilightheart: Of course, it's finnish-metal.net
You're also working for a zine... which one was it?

The one in my signature of course! One guy of finnish-metal.net once worked for us, but it was too much to do for him, so he left us after he wrote 5 or 6 reviews (but still our magazines are linked to each other, maybe you noticed...)

*g* I must have been blind, not seeing it in your signature...

Who was it that worked for you?
Actually the people at our webzine mostly decide themselves how much they write and so on, some aren't that active and others write a lot... I spend a lot of time with the work for it because it's important to me (and well, even forget the things I have to do for university then ;D)

- don´t have photos from the headliners of the summer festivals for my report/ -couldn`t go to some festivals as I didn´t have enough money left

I checked and saw that you still didn't put my Wacken pics online. I've sent you those four times now. (by CD (kindly handed over by Jonne himself , by upload and again on your request twice by e-mail) Or didn't you receive them?
If not, why didn't you say so? I never get any reply

or are you missing more festival pics from others?

BTW: really sorry to hear from your camera, any idea of the cause of the failure?
Congrats with your new one, still curious what you bought, a Nikon?

-----------------------------------
My good and bad:

good:
- I’ve met many great people!
- Never got so many warmhearted e-mails, cards, phone calls, pm’s etc as this year.
- ‘ve found some special friends!
- Seen Korpiklaani live twice, and hope that many times will follow!
- Been to Wacken this year and to some other nice concerts.
- Made more pictures than ever and still learning
- Did some nice things with friends and kids
- Still live here
- Sometimes make music (very odd) with friends
- Got a ‘new’ car, the coolest van in the world, and the most practical I’ve ever had
- Got a better computer (needed it badly)
- This forum, and the people on it.
- Good music! Much of it!
- New points of view, new area’s of interest have been opened.
- Believe there are many possibilities in life. Every setback gives it’s own opportunities.
- Since I’m an optimist everything must be better next year!

Bad:
- Still in the midst of a very nasty divorce.
- Future has never been so insecure (as far as I know, of course)
- We all suffer heavily because of this insecurity: can we stay here? can we keep the animals? a.s.o.
- My car broke down and was irreparable (luckily I could lend the money for another one, nearest ‘everything’ is over 14 km away from here)
- My hard disk crashed and the backup hard disk the day after, I lost almost all work and personal stuff of the last 6 years.
- Had to give up my chief editorship of the magazine (and website) of the Groningen horse, couldn’t afford the loss of money because of the time it took.
- Never have time to read anymore (miss this a lot), or to watch TV (which I don’t miss, actually)
_ I have so many ideas and cannot find the time to realize them.
- Tore my ankle ligaments and cannot walk properly, still on the list for surgery.
- Have a chronic inflammation in my shoulder.
- Have difficulties to get enough work to survive, and to find the time and concentration to do it all.
- Have extremely difficult children from time to time.
- Our house and garden are a mess, due to my lack of time and the fact that I have to do it all by myself.
- Still miss my father, who died two years ago.

Good

- Organised a "festival" with some friends of mine in my frontyard which was very great (I hope someday Korpiklaani will play in my frontyard )
- I saw the band from my friends grow from the very beginning, which is very great! And I hope they become bigger and better next year!
- I have seen a lot of great bands live (Korpiklaani, Opeth, Saxon, Black Sabbath)
- Got to know really nice people
- Made new friends
- My new class at school is very nice

Bad

- I wanted to go on holiday to Scandinavia or Germany, but I went to Gelderland (The Netherlands) which was nice, but sometimes boring
- Searching for a nice job, but didn't find any
- Being manipulated by teachers who said my next schoolyear is very hard, which it is now (for now )

Yes, 2005 was a great year for me Hope 2006 will be even better !

And I wish you all a very happy and nice 2006, and hope for the ones who has problems that they will be solved very soon!

+
Nice holidays
Doing good at school

-
Death of someone who helped me a great deal when I was at primary school. I wasn't accepted and always bullied. This person helped me handle all this, and some other things.
The death of one of my archery trainers, who I admired quite much.
