(I am married but occasionally polyamorous and possibly interested in dates/casual encounters, if I have the time and something in common with the other person; "friends with benefits", with some emotional connection and/or common interests, preferred.)

I find it surprisingly difficult to describe myself. I am, in no particular order, an INFJ, living in a happy openish marriage, mother of two boys, vegetarian, liberal Christian, theologian / scholar in the fields of Biblical studies & Early Christianity & gender studies, pacifist, bookworm and passionate about role-playing games and historical re-enactment.

I am quirky, warm, and quiet

Doing various jobs related to theology (specialties Nag Hammadi library and Early Christianity), playing and especially gamemastering role-playing games, writings larps, reading, watching movies and tv-series, cooking unhealthy vegetarian food, dancing and spending time with my husband, our two sons and friends.

I have been told that when gamemastering, I am twiested and devious, but in a good way :)

I am rather shy around strangers. Then again, I am also fond of bad jokes/puns.

(b) Gone with the Wind; Rosemary's Baby; Jesus Christ Superstar; My Fair Lady; Singing in the Rain; Who Framed, Roger Rabbit?; Priest; movies by Almodovar

At the moment, I am almost more into tv series than movies. Some favourites include Buffy and Angel, Veronica Mars, Deadwood, Big Love, Pride and Prejudice, Friends and House.

(c) My many favourites include The Beatles; Dead Can Dance; Tori Amos; Garth Brooks; CMX; Hedningarna; Värttinä; Maija Vilkkumaa; Miljoonasade; Zen Café; Gjallarhorn; The Klezmatics; Cantata Sangui; Bollywood soundtracks; classic musicals. Folk music I like a lot nowadays. I also listen to Gregorian music and ambient when working.

(d) Depends. I am vegetarian, although I lnowadays eat fish as well. I occasionally think about going vegan but simply cannot give up cheese, which I adore. :) I like Thai food and Nepalese, as well as pizzas and pastas.

1. my friends, 2. love, 3. idealism, 4. books, 5. computer, 6. summer and sunshine

Almost anything :) I am one of those people who feel tempted to wake up their SO in the middle of the night ans ask something like "what is the etymology of this word" or "have you ever thought when people first started to think themselves as a nation" or "what variables should be taken into account when counting this and that" (I usually don't, though :).

I also think a lot about my friends and what's going on in their lives, as well as thinking (and ranting about :) various social causes and injustices.

This depends a lot. Sometimes I'm in a pub with my friends, or partying in someone's house (or invited them to mine); other times I'm at home watching movies, playing computer games or whatever.

I consider myself kinda private individual and I am shy to post anything too private here; I am much more open in actual conversations. I guess my polyamorous tendencies already mentioned will be the most private thing. I luje the excitement of making new connections or deepening old ones.

If you think we have something in common based on the things I wrote to my profile. A word of warning, though: I try to be kind but I am also busy and picky nowadays; your chances of getting a reply are a lot better if you can write grammatically sound English/Finnish and actually say something about our common interests. I probably don't have time to answer messages like "hey sexy!!!!!!11!" I have been passive here, but try to from now on answer all messages that have meaningful content :)

Jos olet suomenkielinen niin kirjoita toki suomeksi vaikka profiili onkin englanniksi, olen siis ihan suomenkielinen :)
