Music junkie, book lover, film enthusiast, poet, student and a whole lot of other things. I also enjoy eating cookies, and sometimes even making some myself.

...Wow, I thought I was complex enough to need more than 26 words to summarise myself. Apparently not.

I'm currently studying English at the University of Turku, which means I'm heading towards a life that may or may not include teaching. But who knows what will happen, maybe I'll end up writing for films and theatre and starving to death.

Learning languages. (I'm fluent in Finnish and English, and can express myself quite well in French, Spanish, Swedish and German, and I can read Portuguese and Italian just fine although if I try to speak either of those I generally end uo talking Spanish without realizing. I would really like to learn... pretty much every language I can think of right now. Russian and Japanese are at the top of the list.)
Writing.
Being sarcastic.

One of the first things people say after meeting for the first time tends to be "gosh, you have really long hair!" That's what having hair down to your waist can do to you.

Books: The Tesseract by Alex Garland, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Glue by Irvine Welsh, Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett, Hamlet, any poetry book featuring works by Vladimir Mayakovsky or Charles Bukowski...

Comics: Preacher, Hellblazer, Sandman, Blue Monday, Scott Pilgrim, Nemi and some mangas.

Movies: Far too many to really mention here, but I can say they span nearly all genres. Good movies are good movies, who cares what genre they represent. Some examples: Amores perros, Singin' in the Rain, La mala educación, Dogma (and pretty much all of Kevin Smith's flicks pre-Jersey Girl), Robin Hood - Men in Tights, Clueless, The Breakfast Club, early Marx Brothers movies, Sonny, Cecil B. Demented, Rocky Horror Picture Show & Singles. Also, for some reason, movies where the hostage falls in love with whoever who took them hostage.

TV: Britcom! To be more specific, Black Books, The Mighty Boosh, The Young Ones, The IT Crowd and of course Monty Python's Flying Circus. Other, non-britcom faves include United States of Tara, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Angels in America, Weeds, Gilmore Girls, Firefly, Odyssey 5, My Name Is Earl and Cold Case.

Music: I firmly believe there is something for everyone in each major genre of music, sometimes it just takes some work to find it. I mainly listen to rock, though, but that doesn't really mean all that much nowadays. Stuff like The Damned, Tehosekoitin, Hybrid Children, Rufus Wainwright, The White Stripes, The Dresden Dolls, The Dandy Warhols, Children of Bodom, Satyricon, Captain Sensible, The Fratellis, AFI, Tiga, Syd Barrett, Saul Williams, Ed Harcourt, Voltaire, Dave Navarro (whoever he happens to be playing with), We Are Scientists, Mötley Crüe, Devendra Banhart + random 60s pop, I'm completely in love with that certain type of sound.

Food: The stuff I grew up eating, and Mexican food. I really should start cooking more, because I'm actually interested in learning more about it, but I'm too lazy. My drinks of choice are lingonberry juice and pineapple juice.

Writing as a hobby and a passion. Life is so much better inside my head. Sometimes I manage to capture some of that on paper or on the screen, and then I'm happy for a while.
Music. Music has played a major part in the process of me becoming who I am today. Plus it serves as a good element of distraction at times.
My loved ones. Also known as family and friends. The people I keep coming back to even though they sometimes annoy the hell out of me.
Reading. Escapism = love. (Also love = escapism? But that is a different matter entirely.)
Being happy at times. Quite self-explanatory. I don't have to be happy all the time, but being happy sometimes really is quite nice.
& Laughter. Both mine and that of others. I don't consider myself all that funny, but I get a warm fuzzy feeling from making people laugh. And I like laughing myself, which might explain the prominence of comedies (and stuff that's known for having a humour aspect to it) in my "Favourites" section.

The way people talk. Both the way they structure their thoughts, and the physical act of talking.

[edited 21/11/2008 ...As it is actually Friday night right now, I realized it's pretty much the perfect time to write something in this section which until now has remained empty and sad.]

I wish I could tell you that on a typical Friday night I'm out having adventures, being a secret agent for a company that intends to take over the world with the clever use of vast quantities of cherry-flavoured bubble gum. But that would be lying.

On a typical Friday night I'm usually hanging out at home, often in front of the computer. I might be trying to write, but mostly I'm probably just surfing the net and talking to people on MSN Messenger. (Incidentally, if you ask nicely, I might give you my MSN address, because I prefer it to the methods of communication OkCupid has to offer. ) I might also be watching telly or reading something. And there's of course the chance that I am actually at a friend's; I am actually fully capable of leaving my home, even on Friday nights.

I think certain sounds are sexy. And I mean the sounds that speech consists of.

You feel like you want to get to know me. (Oh how original.) Just get to it!

Also, if there is a song/book/movie/poem/cookie you think I would really like if I'd only heard about it, and you want to be the person who alerts me to the existence of this wondrous thing.

(And for the record, I'm rather shy, so if I stalked you and didn't message you, it doesn't necessarily mean I didn't want to. So if you're intrigued by my profile, you should still message me.)
