7 moments I would love to relive

Sometimes I really hope that I would not be a kind of person who looks back and says "I wish I had..." but unfortunely I am. These moments which I will be listing now, however, are not those things (more than partly) which I would like to change.

1. Trip to London with my class. Especially the moments in the evening when we hanged together and the free time around the city. Anytime.

 I might look horrible in the pictures, but I for sure had the time of my life!

2. A christmas when I was a little girl. I'm not much of a Christmas person, but that might be due to the stress I nowadays have about the holiday. I used to really like Christmases as all children, much because I got a lot of presents. (Btw, this is the first, and maybe the last, post this year really having Christmas stuff in it!)

 That's me and my hair

3. Prometheus-camp nights (and nights after it with the same people). I still think that the best week of my life was my Prometheus camp. I grew in one week so much and had sooooo much silly fun time. But above all those I really enjoyed the bright summer nights and the discussions we had as a group in there. For long time after the camp the people in there were like my second family. I can still picture the first time I saw live bats, how the water felt like in the night and how good it felt to be hugged by all of them.

4. IB Baptism and the afterparty. Simply had the time of my life, in many respects. Although I never would have pictured myself dressing up as turkey and doing all that embrassing stuff on the market square of my town.

(There's no picture in here because the pics from the Baptism are non blog-material)

5. First kiss with anyone I have kissed (of course taken that the situation in other respects would be the same as well). I think it is the most exciting feeling in the whole world to kiss a person for the first time. Especially because I haven't ever kissed, not even a single time, a person I would not have cared/loved, which makes me regret non of them. And the moments worth living again.

6. My time in Ohio. My first experience on Americans was so welcoming and warm that I would give a lot to experience that again. Generosity and kindness of people in Ohio really surprised me in good way! I still miss my American sister from there!

7. Quiet moments with Keikki. Oh how much I would love to relive those times. As silly as it might seem, especially when I'm really angry at the world, sad or just generally pissed, I wish she would be there to let me be in that way, without no questions, without getting angry at me being angry. Just being there so that I could be quiet and not alone at the same time. Because sometimes the harderst thing to do is to keep smiling and talking to people, when you really do not want to.

8 loves

Finally got time to sit down and finish this post. Have been writing this throughout the last two weeks. This mainly due to my lack of time which results me coming home late and having something else to do or no time at all. And because of the lovely winter of Finland I obviously go to school when it is dark and come back again when it is dark, which means I never get to take pictures in daylight and simply do not have time to fix a place to take photos in poor light, resulting this post without pictures.

Also, I must say it was soooo hard coming up with these for some reason. Mainly because I already have this.

1. Flowers. I'm total flower girl. I love flowers in real, in picture and in prints and those prints on clothes, walls, boxes, curtains. I love to draw flowers and I love to see them in the spring. Generally flowers just make me happy.

2. Museums. I think my love for museums comes from my grandpa. When I was in primary school (and maybe even before that), one of the best things to do with my grandparents was to got to a museum. I love both art and history museums. There is some kind of mystery to both of them. What has inspired the artist to do what they have created, or what was going on in the minds of people living in the time I now see in pictures and artifacts?

3. DIY's. Although I am in very academic IB, I love to do things with my hands also, and not always only focus things with my brain. I'm really bad in some of the crafts, like knitting. But I love to create something new from something old and do present by hand, since it will tell the receiver that I was really thinking him/her. at the moment I have few things in my mind I would love to execute if I have time. Would love to make some changes of dress of mine before Christmas holidays.

4. Brown leather. I was going to post some pictures of few new things I have found during this autumn and which all had something common. All of them were from brown leather. Then I bought black leather boots, so that's that. Any way, I just love brown leather more than other materials in shoes and other easily wearing items, such as wallets and so on.

5. EYP (European Youth Parliament). As I was a journalist in the first northern Finland session, and organiser in my own town and just got home last weekend from the annual party AND will have EYP-cafe coming up soon, EYP obviously is on the top of my head. But it doesn't mean its not anyways. I think it might be one of the greatest addictions I have and unfortunately I have to put myself into rehab... After one EYP cafe, and couple of meetings. Okay not soon yet, but anyway. 

6. Fantasy books and fairytales have been one of my loves since primary school. Pretty much since I could read. Something about fairytales, fantasy and mystics fascinates me and keeps me reading. That's my I'm complete Harry Potter fan, have had great hours with Christipher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle, never say no to watching The Lord of the Rings and enjoy getting wrapped up in Alice in Wonderland.

7. Late nights and long mornings. I hate to go to sleep, but when I finally do (preferably as late as I can) I hate to wake up.

8.Watching tv-shows season after season. I'm a mass consumer of TV-series and I follow more than 10 different series at the moment and on top of that I have seen at least 4 series from beginning to their end. My newest addiction is Downton Abbey which I started yesterday and now have watched 4 episodes.


I'm trying to get this done before Christmas, so that I can post from my holiday ;)
