Challenges from Facebook ;P

Hey there!

I recently "liked" some statuses that stated some facts about the friends who posted them... First time I "liked" it, I got the challenge to write 13 facts about me, the second time it was 10. Because if you "liked" it you got your own number. Hope you all understand what I mean... ;)

So I decided to write 25 facts :) the other challenge was to write 10 infuential books I've read. I'll write them in this same post :D

Facts:

1. I'm a 100% believing and practising mormon. I know it's true, so what else matters? Religious is to be taken seriously, not just as a "hobby" etc.

3. I found Mr. Right this spring. His name is Juha. And he is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Stephen King, New York City and casserole

Hello Dear Readers!

How are ya'll doin'?

I've been doing pretty darn fantastic these few days and weeks. I've got the most wonderful boyfriend in the whole Universe! He's so cute and fantastic! We're watching "The Morgan's" or whatever it's called. I made some casserole with cheese, macaroni, chicken filees and water with spices... :P It was yummy! :P All without any recipe.

I LOVE New York and have been dreaming of living there in my sleep and awake for maybe a year. In my sleep I dream often, maybe 3+ times a week, every week, that I'm living there or visiting. I've dreamed of an address and places where I've actually been and place I want to go. I hope to live for a while there some time in my life.

This movie is ROCKIN' ;)

I've started to read an awful lot of Stephen King. I'm on a page on FaceBook called Stephen King Lovers. We were supposed to read in August Salem's Lot and this month we're gonna read "The Shining". I haven't finished Salem's Lot yet and I haven't started the shining... But in July I did read Carrie :P

I'm getting tired now so I think I'll go and read a little :)

More later!

Back in Sweden... And a bit of midevialness :P

Hey!

I'm back ;) Yesterday I awoke at 7 a.m. to go to Åbo with the 10.11 Inter City train from my hometown Tammerfors in Finland. I enjoyed the cool air in the train, I listened to P!NK and took a few short naps...

When I arrived at Åbo i put my luggage in a box (cost 3 Euros) for safekeeping. I just took my backpack and started to walk towards the centre of town. I had heard about a new Stephen King book but they were all out of copies at Akademen and Suomalainen Kirjakauppa.

There's something so familiar and nice about Åbo and when I was crossing the street at one familiar corner, even I knew how to cross the street, like a local. I've learned all the small tricks and shortcuts :P

I walked through the medieval fair and called my boyfriend. We met at the stairs of the old big church at the banks of Aura å. He was dressed in old, royally red cool fine clothes from the 1600's. He was playing cello at the stairs of the church.

I even participated in a nice tour of the church with other fair -visitors -free off charge :) Then it was time for a break in my boyfriend's work and we went to eat fries and a pastry. Then I even got to meet his dad -yikes! ;) He is a nice man.

Then I met some friends and we went to have a look around and I bought a bronze ring :) Then they drove me to the ship and I experienced my first Viking Grace journey. I wrote a little review fir them on a feedback - note. On thursday I'll go with the ship again, maybe I'll get a better look then ;)

Today I've been so tired, I've slept most of the day away... :)

Twelve Days of Christmas - Julie Andrews - The King Singers

Hey! I'm BACK!!! :P

Today I have been watching Jonah Mowry's YouTube videos, spending time on his Tumblr page and waiting for him to Tweet something :) He was the boy who made that video about being bullied and got a lot of attention in the medias for it. He is quite funny. And cute. He is also very Gay. And I think people who bully gays are horrible. I'm on the victims' side on this one. I also know what it's like to be bullied and being called names. I _HATE_ bullies and being bullied. It is the most horrible thing in the world. Lots of people are like "You defend homos? You're gay!" No, standing up for gay people does not mean I am gay. I'm actually 110% straight and all who knows me truly, also knows this. Whoever people bully, we should defend them. It's awful how people say that "Being gay is a mental disorder". WHAT?!? Well, then being an idiot must be genetic :P

That was my rant for today.

BYE BYE :)

Finally, The Return of The Inspiration :) WELCOME!!! ;)

Finally, after months of writersblock/dried up imagination/nothing to write, I feel now that I have at least a LITTLE bit of motivation to write something... It's been a long brake, hope to get it back (inspiration) ;) It's horrible for me to just do all kinds of things and when I log into blogger/wordpress etc. I try to think: Do I want to write? And the answer had been for so long: I don't think so :P So, here I am -in the beginning/middle of summer and I have not yet swam in the Ocean/Lake/Pond whatever! Last year I swam in the Ocean in northern Finland (Jakobstad) on the 28th of MAY!!! :) Now it's 13.th of JUNE and I haven't cast my wintercoat (as we say in Finland) ... That is a tragedy! But talking of furry things on your back... My cats are almost adults. In their size -I don't think they'll grow much more (just add fat ;) but of course, They Just Turned ONE! So inside they're still pretty young/children... ;P They want to PLAY everyday. So whenever I walk by and I see Bisse running/chewing etc. his favorite toy/ball/playmouse I stop, pick it up and throw it in some direction ---He RUNS like the "wind" and catches it. Then I throw it in the other direction, and so it goes ;) Tomorrow I'm going to the GYM after ~3 months of break in the training... So, I'm gonna warm up by walking and bicycling in the gym, then I'm signed up for the Cycling lesson (SPINNING it's called here in Sweden :) I intend to take it a little more easy, because I am truly horribly outta shape! :'( I have Gained 3-5 kilos the last few months... It's a nightmare! I always laugh at people who weigh maybe 55 or 57, saying: Ooh! I'm SO fat! I need to drop X amount of kilos... LoL :P What losers! I need to drop about half of my total weight! How about that?!? ;) Gives you some kind of perspective... Well, that's it for tonight! Keep Calm and Listen to Céline Dion!!! <3
