My life is like a film, as the film “happy go lucky” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMwD7Zy6Vno

I almost always have the feeling that the life is here and now, and it has never been better than this. Full of lovely relationships, an wonderful apartment, a lot of challenging jobs, nice colleges and damn good swimming and dancing partners.

I love to go by train. I think it works as my peaceful place "in between". it is like meditation. But also as a place for inspiration. I am doing a lot of work there. I am travelling a lot from time to time. It is nice, but also exhausting when my friends never know where I am.

Honesty, straightforwardness is one of the most important things in my life. i expect people to say what they want, feel, think, not to make me guess.

Feminism is important as well. Ynesta King wrote: “i am not interested in an equal slice of a rotten pie”. I want to build a better world for everyone.

I am allergic to jealousy.

I see myself as a independent, social and talkative person. I know who I am. I am aware of my weak sides as well. I like to dig into myself, challenge my fears, but also to just let everything go and enjoy life. To be wild and crazy.

My relations are not structured in hierarchies. some might be more intense at some points, but they all have their own important function as a part of my everyday life. I prefer to have people coming over for breakfast.

I like to have people sleeping over.

You often find me in lively deep discussions about relations, activism, politics and changing the world.

I like swimming in the ocean.

And I love colorful dresses.

I use to write postcards to my friends.

I am the one warming up the dance floor and then dance the whole night long.

I read about mindfulness and suddenly i can understand why i have so much energy, being so happy and enjoying life so much. The question is only how to give methods to get there to people around me?

think positive

work passionate

do impossible things possible

appreciate the small things in life. a sunny day. a funny hat on a lady in the street. remembering a good friends joke. laugh at my silly ideas or at my bad karma with electronic things

convince people

see good things in people

organize things, groups, people and activities

have a healthy distance to my life

be sarcastic

my new hair cut, energy and attitude

Books, yes. I would love to write that i read a lot. But i do not.
I read "useful" books, books that i feel give my profession "something": new thoughts, new information, new views. It is not a amusement as movies anymore.

Movies have to have a point, preferable a hidden one: Lars von Trier, David Lynch but also Pedro Almodóvar.

My music taste is described by my sister as an depressing one: Tori Amos, Regina Spektor, Jenny Wilson, Anna Ternheim, Laleh, Coldplay but also Aavikko, Air, Amy Winehouse, Ane Brun, Eva Dahlgren, Feverray, Goldfrapp, José Gonzales, Kent, Kings of Convinience, Koop, Madonna, Marit Bergman, Nirvana, Novelle Vauge, Red Hot Chilli Pepper, The Knife, Tracy Chapman or 22Pistepirkko.

My aim with food is to choose the ecological alternatives.

I am like a madman of broccoli, spinach and ginger.

I love Indian food & sushi. Nami!

"things" sound so practical?

Things in everyday life are:

-my friends that inspire me to develop new ideas, thoughts and projects. and myself. friends that fill me with love, adventures and challenges

-My calendar. The things that are not written down, do not exist in my world. I think the calendar is the requirement for me to be able to live a here-and-now-life.

-My mobile phone to get in touch with friends, writing down ideas, listen to music or listen to lovely pod radio and surf on the web.

-A lovely home. My home is my castle.

-My diary. To collect my thoughts, emotions, impression and put words on my life.

-Closeness to other people. To touch and be touched

Relations in my life.

Different ways to change the world to be a better place for everyone as a part of a discussion with other i-want-to-change-the-world-people with a queer perspective.

How to find the methods in supporting people to dare to be whatever they want or/and who they are and be able to express it. I believe in anti-oppressive pedagogy and queer activism (like Kevin Kumashiro)
How I could give this nice feeling I have of being very happy in life, to people that I care for.

And at the same time I do not think that I think so much. I often act without thinking. I live here and now, focusing on what is happening/is said to me right now and to interact with the world.

spending time with a friend or working. Not really going out, if it is not for dancing. But if it is for dancing they I will stay on the dance floor until the "valomerkki" (the place close).

What is private?
I do not know if I really see the difference when it comes to "admitting" things. I am what I am. Nothing to admit, but a lot for myself to discover though.
I could also admit that I do not have a clear idea why I am here.

you have something to say, you are a crazy, happy person, you have a passion of changing things or breaking heteronormativity and you like to have long breakfasts with friends.
