I'm a history geek studying folkloristics and other cultural studies like archaeology and museology in university. I believe in people, equality and nature, and am interested in old handicraft techniques, tradition, and ways of living. I wear mostly black clothes, am listening to metal music and finnish rock, and like both calm and lazy evenings and hanging around in the city.

Trying to study and work at the same time, listening to music, hanging around with my boyfriend, friends and in Viking Age living history happenings and live action roleplaying games.

Stressing about things and trying to do too much at one time. Making pretty good dishes of simple ingrendients.

Speaking lively and a lot when in a good company. Wearing almost always black and other dark-coloured clothes.

Books - Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion and his other books; Ursula le Guin; Susanna Clarke; Bulkakov's The Master and Margarita; not-so-common good science fiction and fantasy (like le Guin, Scott Cards Alvin, Hobbs Farseer Trilogy); Tsehov, Kafka, Don Rosas comics.
Movies - City of Lost Children, Totoro, Spirited Away, Ronja Rovarsdottir, Pan's Labyrith, Amelie, Being John Malkovich. The first Matrix was quite funny, The 5th Element is mostly really cute. Deadwood was an interesting serie. I didn't like LOTR trilogy so much - there was good and very bad parts in those films (I can discuss about those for hours). And I also love very, _very_ bad movies, like Turkish Star Wars (The Man who saved the World) or Ator.

Music - Dark Tranquillity, Amorphis, Cantata Sangui, Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Samael, Moonspell, In Flames, SOAD, Volbeat, CMX, Absoluuttinen Nollapiste, Kauko Röyhkä, etc.

Foods - too many to count. Lasagna, citrus-coconut sauces, lamb dishes etc. A good beef is of course always good. I can't live without black pepper, black pepper saves the world.

1) books and reading2) good music3) touch 4) speaking and conversations 5) good food 6) trees

Cultural things, music, my relationships and friends, good food, handicrafts, things I haven't had time to do yet...

Maybe at some of my friend's parties, watching a movie or sitting in a bar and drinking beer, maybe just listening to music and ircing at home, cooking, reading, petting my cat Faust, writing or doing some handicrafts. There is absolutely no typical Friday night for me.

I do not just tell private things to random people around me.

you are an interesting person, or interested in living history or re-enactmenting and you want to find a possible new friend.
