My Stephen King
There once was a great man,
Who wrote better than anyone ever can.
I'm so grateful he started writing,
His books are the silver lining,
That helps me feel good,
And keeps me waiting for the next book.
When I was but a teen
I first discovered his incredible gift,
Pet Sematary, you gave me such a lift.
Thanks, Mr. King.
Sooo...
It's been about 14 years ago; in April 2000; when I visited for the first time in my life and most hopefully not the last: New York City. It was grand. I was 19, going on 20 and I had never been in such a great place! I felt safe, everyone was very good to me, the shopping was divine, the sightseeing was spectacular! I just love the big apple and would be happy to visit the city for a longer period. And today I read on the Internet that New York City is the most friendly city towards tourists, something I've known since 2000!!! I've traveled, you see... Pretty much too... I've been to Austria, where they're rude and proud. I've been to Canary Islands 7 times in 10 years and they are wonderful there too.
One thing pops into mind from my visit to New York City and that was when I wanted to take a picture with a few police officers. They said: come on guys -what are we here for? And I got an amazing picture of me standing next to four or five big cops!!! Man, that was the best!!!

Hey there!!!
We're currently celebrating the Helsinki Pride Week here in Finland. I'm a Mormon. So basically I should despise, condemn and think that gay people are going to Hell. Because many in our church believe that it's a disease or mental illness. Most people think it's a choice to be gay. Im kinda different from what others think I should be. I support gay rights and I know for a fact that gay people never ever can get married in the Temple. Nothing can ever change that. But since they're not going to be able to marry in the Temple, I think that they should have the right to get married basically every where else. I support people as they are and I try to not ever judge anyone. I loved my first boyfriend who later found out he was gay. I love my best friend from my childhood who is a woman engaged to a woman. She is still my very dear friend.
I believe in the church that I belong to and support the leaders. I think they should be more supportive of people who are different. As my friend said: this church is for the healthy. I feel sometimes very hurt by the people in church. But then I remember that I'm not staying in church for the people's sake. I'm there because I love God and because I want to serve Him. I go there for myself. I go there to help and learn.
