happy is a state of mind.

I have now got my computer back, but I've kind of forgotten how to do this.. blogging I mean. So I just thought I'd do the 7 random facts about me tag that's been going around almost every social media site, including blogspot. Maybe you'll learn something new about me. Even you, daddy. Yes, I know you're reading this ;)

1. I have one nightmare that keeps re-occurring every now and then.
It's very simple. No monsters, catastrophes or anything like that at all. It's just me in an empty space falling and very slowly catching speed. Right before I hit the ground I wake up and slam hard on my bed. Maybe I levitate whilst asleep?

2. I like the smell of thrift stores, basements, old buildings etc. 
I don't know why, but there's something to that old smell that I like. I'm weird. 

3. I like to consider myself an artist
I've done art since I was around 2 years old. It's been an escape route to expressing emotions since as far as I can remember. I also do music. I play the guitar, sing and write songs. I enjoy writing poetry, short stories and sometimes longer stories that turn into novels.

4. I write to the desk drawer
As much as I love writing stories and novels, I've never showed more than two people my work. Therefore it is all stored in a folder on my computer called "desk drawer", because a regular desk drawer is not confidential enough for me. 

5. I'm a daydreamer
My thoughts just tend to drift away into other dimensions. Sometimes this might happen when you talk to me and you'll have to repeat what you've just said. I'm sorry if I doze off during a long story of yours, don't take it personally! 

6. I love coffee shops
There's just something about the atmosphere of coffee shops that I find very calming. I like to take the bus to Cambridge early in the morning, bring my poetry notebook with me and go sit in a nice, independent coffee shop(or starbucks) just listening to jazzy music that's usually playing on the radio and drinking Chai Tea Latte... I live for mornings like that. Coffee shops are also one of the things me and my friends enjoy to do in the evening. 

7. I can't wait to turn 18
I can finally go to every concert and festival, travel alone, get tattoos etc. stuff I've been wanting to do for ages! Ps. driving a car isn't one of them. I don't like cars. They frighten me.

I don't know if this post was interesting at all for you to read, but I sure hope so! If you want more posts like these(tags n stuff like 'what's in my handbag') just leave a comment. Or would you like more daily diary type posts with lots of pictures? Or maybe outfit of the day posts? I don't know, I'm a bit lost. As I said, I've forgotten how to blog, haha!

A couple outfits from the past days. I'm in love with those tights, but they're already kinda broken. I'm a master on ruining tights and leggings. It's because of my sharp nails, I guess...

It's my birthday today! Right now I'm painting my nails bright pink and just getting ready for tonight. We're going to have a eurovision-theme party, since it's the eurovision song contest finals today! More about that next time.

What if lightning strikes them twice?

So right now, while listening to the new Norah Jones album(Little Broken Hearts), which is pretty good by the way, I thought I'd do a small haul for you guys. Everything is from a thrift-store called Kirppiscenter. It's my favorite one, and in my opinion also the best one available in Turku. I always end up buying something...

The bought I'm most excited about must be that camera. It was a bit pricey I think, 19,50e. But it's completely functioning; it even has a self-timer or whatever it's called(itselaukaisin in Finnish). I'm already very eager to start taking pictures with it. I want to take lots of pictures to show my host-family when I travel to England! 

Oh yeah, and I think I'm now officially not buying clothes for a while. My closet is exploding, and I think I'll manage with everything I have until my trip to Gdansk after mid-summer.
