hello! i'm going to make one of those "special posts" next week. today i'm just going to do a little update.
first of all i got new wallpapers in my room! the old ones were dirty and ugly and ripped apart in some places and i've been wanting new wallpapers for a long time. i'm happy with these new ones. one of the walls is purple and three are white. i'm going to show you my room in its very own post sometime in the future.
summer is almost over and that makes me sad. this summer hasn't been very good here in finland. it has been cold and rainy. it didn't feel like summer at all. i didn't even hang out with my friends that much. now i've also got to get back into reality and try to figure out what to do this year. am i going to a school or am i going to look for a job? when will i try and get my driver's license? what do i wanna be when i grow up?
i went shopping with my mum and grandma yesterday. i got john green's looking for alaska and some new headphones for my phone as well as new shoes. i also bought a pencil and a new sketchbook.
that's pretty much all that's going on. as i said, next week i'll make one of those things i listed in my last post. until then have a nice week! ☮
"no great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness."
hey! this time i only have a question for you because i'm lazy and didn't think of anything to write about. so could you help me decide what i should post next? i have some options listed below.
my day
recipe
about finland
drawings
my friends
(late) summer playlist
tell me in the comments which kind of post you'd like to see. have a wonderful week! ☮

in this post i answer questions that you asked me some time ago.
would you rather...
live in the future or in the past?
in the future because there i might see things i could never have imagined. also horrible things have happened in the past and i don't want to live in those times.
live forever or die tomorrow?
i have never understood why people would want to be immortal because when you get older, and especially if you lived thousands and thousands of years, at some point you'll want to die. but if i have to choose from these two i'd rather live forever because there are many things i still want to do.
live in finland or abroad?
in finland. maybe i would like to try and live abroad but i would get homesick and i really like it here in finland. be a dog or a cat?
i feel like i would be a cat because i'm lazy so i could just lie around and get fat. but i would like to be a dog because i prefer dogs to cats.
be a pirate or a ninja?
ninja. in my opinion they are so much cooler and they're all stealthy and sneaky which is cool. be rich and ugly or poor and beautiful?
poor and beautiful i think? i don't actually even know which one i would prefer.
have many friends or one close friend?
if by many friends you mean that i'd have no one to actually talk to about my worries then i would want only one close friend. but if many friends means there would be people i could talk to then that would be fine. only be able to whisper or only be able to shout?
i'd rather whisper because that would force me to use my brain instead of volume in an argument. and if i'd only be able to shout then everyone would hear all the personal things i talk about to my friends and family. never play or play but always lose?
this is a very vague question and i need more details. if we're talking about sports, i think i'd never play. but if this is about video games where you play against your friend i'd play but always lose. however if it's a single player game i'd never play because if i always lost i would get nowhere in the game anyway. lick someone else's armpit or have someone else lick your armpit?
have someone else lick my armpit obviously. i don't want to lick anyone's armpit. would you rather have to sit all day or stand all day?
sit all day. that's what i do everyday anyway. would you rather have a third eye or a third arm?
third eye. maybe i could cover it up somehow. and it would definitely be cooler than a third arm. be super strong or super fast?
super fast. i've always wanted to be fast. be ten minutes late or be twenty minutes early for everything?
twenty minutes early. because it would suck if you were always late for something very important to you. i can wait for twenty minutes. would you rather give out bad advice or receive bad advice?
receive bad advice. i don't want to be responsible for messing up someone else's life or decisions. and i don't always follow the advice that i'm given. eat a potato and feel its pain or be a potato?
eat a potato and feel its pain. first of all potatoes don't feel. but screw logic. i would rather feel that pain once than be a lifeless potato that can't do anything but wait for its death. have a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail?
squirrel tail would definitely be cuter than a horn sticking out of your forehead.
okay that was all the questions i got. thank you for asking! i hope you enjoyed this quick post. have a nice week! ☮

hello and sorry for not posting in a while. i've been home for a couple of weeks now i think but i just couldn't bother writing here...
the morning we left from finland...
anyway i had a great time in italy! we went to this huge garden and castle and we visited two museums. one had dinosaurs and animals and the other had the famous ötzi! i was so excited to see him. his mummy/corpse/skeleton was in a cold and secured room and you could see him through a small window. it makes sense because he needs to be in certain temperature and obviously because he's so valuable hence they don't just want to put him out there for anyone to touch and break. he was really cool and you could see the shape of his face and his hands and feet were very well-preserved. there were also his clothes and equipment around to see. if you don't know who or what ötzi is (or was) he's a prehistoric human found frozen in the alps. he's very valuable historically and archaeologically because he's so well-preserved due to being frozen and scientists have learned so much about ötzi's time because of him.
it pretty much looked like this everywhere.
this is from the huge garden we visited.
and this one's from the museum that was full of dinosaur skeletons and animal replicas.
so tiny.
"haaaaaaaay!!"
i also visited celine's (the girl i went to see in the first place) school and met a lot of her friends. her friends and family were all very cool and nice. i was surprised at how comfortable i was the whole time i spent there. we watched movies and drew and went for walks. the weather was nice as well.
as i said in the last post, i had to come all the way home by myself. first i left in a taxi from celine's house and it took me all the way to munich's airport. there i found the check-in i was supposed to go to and i still had time before it opened. the check-in went quite well and after that i had to go through the security check. they wanted to take a closer look at my cameras but i didn't have any problems. i found my boarding gate quickly and then i just had to wait. some time before my plane was supposed to board i decided to check from one of those screens if my gate had changed and it had. i found my way to the right gate again very easily. the flight to riga wen't well but there my flight was delayed for an hour. i didn't mind that much though. the airport was very small so i found my gate easily. after we landed in finland i had to find my luggage and that was easy as well. then i just had to walk out and i saw my mum waiting for me. so overall the trip back home wen't surprisingly well and i'm quite proud of myself.
celine and i decided to stay as friends. the relationship just didn't feel right and that's okay. we're still going to be in touch and honestly it's better this way. i'm happy that we both felt the same way and no one got hurt.
so anyway i had a great time during this trip and i don't regret any of it. see you next week! ☮

hi everybody! so i'll be leaving to italy on tuesday. my mum and her friend will come with me. first we'll fly to riga, where we will change planes and fly to munich. there we will get on a bus and drive to south tirol which is in north italy.
the reason we're going is because my girlfriend lives there. i met her on the internet about two years ago and this is the first time we'll meet face to face. we've skyped a few times though. i still haven't told my parents that she's my girlfriend. i'm not scared to tell them or anything, i just haven't found the right way and time to tell them. i've made up my mind that i'll tell them before i leave. which is soon... but i won't talk about that now.
i'll be staying at my girlfriend's home but my mum and her friend will go on their on way and travel around italy. they'll stay in the country for a week but i'll be away for almost two weeks. and that means i have to fly back home on my own. that scares me to death because i'm an anxious person but i'm willing to take the risk. i'll come back the exact same route that we're gonna go.
despite being nervous and scared and anxious, i'm very happy and excited. it will be extremely awkward but i'm trying to assure myself that it'll be fine. i'll try to have as much fun as i can. we have some plans but i'll tell you everything that happened when i get back home.
all this means that i won't be posting for a while. but when i come back i'll have some super interesting things to make posts about. so i'll see you in a couple weeks! ☮
"it hurts when you have someone in your heart but you can't have them in your arms." - unknown
hello! this tuesday i went to an event of some kind that had many things to do such as paintball fighting, frisbee golf, geocaching, and more. but the only thing that interested me, and the only reason i decided to go in the first place, was the animals. i was told there would be llamas or alpacas and i've never seen those up close. when we got there, there was one llama, two alpacas, one goat, some roosters and chickens, a horse, a pony, two parrots, and a cockatoo.
this is the llama. it was very social and liked being petted and scratched. it always came close when we approached it.
the llama guarded the alpacas. we really wanted to pet the alpacas, but they weren't as social as the llama and didn't come close even if we tried. however, in one point this little baby alpaca came close enough that i could just reach its muzzle. after that i managed to slightly touch its wool and it was sooo soft. didn't get to touch the other alpaca though.
the alpacas made really funny and cute "baa" noises and i tried to mimic them.
the llama didn't spit on us even once. i wouldn't have minded if it did though. i would've just laughed it off. the owner said that if they did spit on us, we had the permission to spit on them right back.
according to the owner of the birds, this parrot was first owned by a sailor. i fount it funny because it's such a stereotype that pirates and sailors owned parrots.
if you wanted to, you could have the parrot sit on your shoulder. i wanted to do that, but the owner said that this particular parrot didn't like women and that if you were a female you shouldn't even think about letting the parrot get that close to you. it made me kinda disappointed. ironically, the owner was a woman. after being asked, she told that the parrot had slit her hand at one point so you really should take the birds seriously.
the goat was very cute and kind. according to the owners, it had never pushed anyone.
it seemed as though it only cared about food. it didn't pay attention to us at all when we pet it.
look at him go!
which animal did you like the best? i loved them all but my favourite would be the llama. have a nice day! ☮

(i own none of the pictures in this post! you can find more of them here.)
i often daydream when i go for a walk with my dog and when i'm in bed waiting to fall asleep.
i think i always forgive everybody and i do so almost instantly.
i find this incredibly frustrating because there is so much i want to say but i simply don't know how.
hope you enjoyed this post. i have a request for you. could you ask me "would you rather" questions in the comments? i'd like to do a post where i answer them sometime in the future but i obviously need your help. of course, i could google some questions myself but i thought it would be more interesting for you if i answer things you actually want to know. ask as many as you can think of. thanks. see you! ☮
