I'm not looking for anyone at the moment!

-------

This is probably more like random facts about me than a self-summary, but I guess it does the trick :)

I'm a 25 years old student from Helsinki, though actually my roots are in the Ostrobothnia. I find it very difficult to fit in one genre, I'm a little bit of everything. I have red dreads but I don't smoke pot or listen to reggae. I'm also not a vegan, quite the opposite :D If I had to pick a genre (though I hate doing so) I'd probably say I'm a some kind of geek :)

One word to describe me would be "nice". I'm always kind to people, try to take everyone into consideration and rarely get angry. I like to make people happy, because it makes me happy. This causes problems sometimes, I have a tendency to get dissapointed in relationships when people don't get that they should do nice things for me too and not try to take advantage of me.

Intellect and talent attracts me. People who are good at maths or physics or know a lot about computers etc. fascinate me, because that's just something I can't wrap my head around. It really bugs me I can't understand how numbers work - I've tried but it's no use. I also really appreciate music, books and arts, though I'm not a creator myself, just a consumer!

Career-wise I have things sorted out. I know what I want to do with my life and I'm in the Uni to achieve it. In my social life I'm still looking for the person to spend my life with. I'm not looking for casual sex or one night stands, I'm a relationships kind of girl. I'd call myself a bi with a preference, which means I'm not opposed to relationships with girls, but I prefer guys. Mostly for the one simple reason that starting a family one day is hell-of-a-lot easier with a guy than with a girl, and that's something I'll definitely want to do. And I like being "the girl" in the relationship, I like to feel protected and small at times.

I think it's important partners have their own life outside the relationship. I like to do things with my boyfriend, but I also like to hang with my friends every now and then. And if the guy want's to go to a bar "to have a few" sometimes, that's all fine by me, I even think it's healthy for the relationship. I think it's important partners take care of each other and discuss things openly. This is the reason why trust is very important to me, and though I'm usually quite forgiving, it might be difficult to gain my trust if you lost it once.

I like to laugh and think I have a pretty good sense of humour. I enjoy sarcasm and puns, and my whole family is kind of sarcastic in our communication. I've seen some dark times in my life and I think that's why I'm able to joke about even the most serious things in life. But I don't like humor that hurts anyone.

On the whole, cruelty and violence in general makes me depressed, and I try to stay away from situations that could expose me to it unless there's something I can do to make it better. I think I'm quite the idealist but I have my feet on the ground and realize the facts. It doesn't stop me from dreaming, though :) If I could decide, world would be all rainbows and unicorns :P

How's that for a random rambling? :D Please feel free to contact me if you read something you want to discuss further. Though, as I said at the beginning, I'm not looking for anyone at the moment. The forementioned "dark times" caught up with me again and I don't feel I'd be a very good girlfriend to anyone at the moment when I'm sorting my own life out.

I'm studying logopedics in the Uni of Helsinki and hope to graduate some day and do the job I love (speech therapist, that is). Between studies I sometimes work in a daycare.

I'm a very empathic person and people tell me I'm a good listener. I'm quite open to new ideas and willing to question my beliefs in an intelligent conversation. I'm fiercely loyal to my friends and family and quite the mother lion when someone I love is in pain or having difficulties.

The dreadlocks :D I'm not a rastafari though, just like the hair.

I mostly read fantasy, but I'm interested in other literature too. There are too many good books to name, but to name a few authors, I like Kay, Hobb, Eddings, Gaiman, Pratchett, Gaarder, LeGuin...

I like to watch movies, but I can't watch horror. It either bores me or scares me too much :D I also don't like ridiculous low-humour comedies, but other than that, my taste is quite versatile. I have a soft spot for girly romantic movies, but I'd never force anyone to watch them if they didn't want to :)
On TV I like Big Bang Theory, Criminal Minds, Skins, True Blood, Grey's Anatomy, Game of Thrones, Misfits and Friends, for example.

Music is very important to me. I play some piano, but mostly just like to listen to music. I have a bad habit to get stuck on the same songs and artists, so I'm very happy to have someone introduce new artists/bands to me. I like music through the genres from classical to metal. The only music I generally don't like is meaningless rap or hip hop (rap with good lyrics is another thing entirely) and I'm not a big fan of dance or trance, but if it's well made and interesting, I'll probably like it. Lately I've started to learn how to play the ukulele :D

Food... I like food :P I'm not a big fan of vegetarian diet but I do enjoy the occasional salad. I don't like very spicy food, but I like nepalese, chinese, italian and mexican food when moderately mild. My favourite foods are simple home-cooked meals though :) I'm not a great cook but I'm not too hopeless either. I manage to boil the potatoes without burning them :P Sometimes I get a random urge to bake. My mom doesn't like cooking but likes baking, so I guess I get it from her. I absolutely hate tomatoes.

Friends and family, computer, phone, my own space, books and music, my cats

Not necessarily in that order :P

My life and future, books, music, games, travelling, my friends, my studies and work... quite a lot of things :)

Usually I'm at home with my roommate, watching TV or a movie or something. Or if I'm honest, I'm probably sitting in front of my computer doing absolutely nothing productive :P
I do go out sometimes, but usually that's when I go back home (to my parents in Seinäjoki). I haven't really found my "bar-scene" in Helsinki.

You can ask anything you like. I'll probably answer.

... you read something you liked, disagreed with, got interested in or if you just would like to get to know me better.
